Day 197 - 3:51 PM - Southern Outskirts, New Infanta Settlement, Infanta, Province of Quezon
Far behind the frontline, inside the newly constructed walls, General Faustino, who retreated first with the tired scouts, was listening to the reports on the radio with a grim expression.
With the loud sounds of gunshots far outside the walls, General Faustino knew that the situation had gone from bad to worse.
The members of the scout squad were also in dismay as they heard the report of the sudden deaths of many of their comrades. Being scouts, they should have investigated more about the creature even if it put their lives in danger.
By what it looked like, General Faustino's plan to leave landmines to disable the creature became the trigger for the current situation to happen. However, the plan was formulated with the scout squad's initial reports. If there was someone to take the blame for this failure, it was the scout squad.
