The tension of the group is pretty obvious because their silence is very disturbing, and if not for the engine of the trucks we are riding, we would never be able to get away from the awkwardness the atmosphere is surrounding on us. But I can't blame them. This mission is something that would either cause our demise or will become the first step of us survivors here in Osaka to reclaim what has been taken by the undead.

The music on my headphone is the only thing that makes me calm. Although I have done many things that would be really dangerous and hard to complete, I did not falter. However, now is making me a bit more nervous. Maybe because I experienced fighting against the behemoth first hand? It might be the case, especially that I saw Leo's death due to the monster. My anger towards that monster is just overflowing. And killing him over and over again would not extinguish the bloodlust on my body.

"Kyosei. Do not attack rashly. Although I don't know how Teacher Leo died, you shouldn't let your anger take over you. That monster is something you can't defeat easily. You have to take it easy and deal with him slowly," Kato said.

I look at him without any tinge of fear, my anger reflects in my face that Kato backs off a bit.

"Chill dude, don't put me in a dangerous situation just because I said that."

I found out that I am taking my anger in a different person. I rubbed my glabella and sighed. "My bad, just don't mention it again."

Kato nodded and just stayed silent. I must be stressed out totally from all of these things I am experiencing. I should relax a little bit before we arrived at the rendezvous zone.

The trucks started to stop one by one. That means the attack squadron is now on the rendezvous area. We started to disembark from the truck and started clutching for our weapons in case of undead attacks. I grip out the Kukri on my waist and also pulled out the Beretta M9 Pistol. I looked around the place and just like the other buildings, the facilities are either trashed or broken beyond recognition already by the undead or by the mutated. It is also covered with the same orange slime that covered the convenience store. Overall, this place is in ruins.

The only thing is that the whole place seems desolated. Not a single creature is present, not even an undead.

"The Behemoth sure is a greedy bastard. Even a few undead around the zoo is not spared," Mr. Tanaka said as he stares at a female corpse covered in the orange slime. Her body looked like it took a bath on an acid solution as the bones were almost melted enough. The corpse is already in necrosis stage which means that the corpse is already an undead when it died. There was no bullet hole on her head which also concludes that this unlucky bast*rd died after the Behemoth passed by.

Captain Haru gathered the soldiers around the entrance of the zoo.

"Here we are now, guys. The mission "Attack The Behemoth will now commence. Go to your positions and find a good place where you can freely attack the behemoth and where you can freely escape. Although the firetruck is our key to success in this mission, we also have to defend it which gave me the option to install a mounted machine gun on the top of the firetruck so that when things get hairy around here, the firetruck is secured. Still, I have no intention of everyone dying here. Do not engage if the battle is something that makes a disadvantage to you. Flee if you feel the danger. I prefer an alive soldier than a dead one so be sure to be alive until the very end. Dying is not an option! Do you understand me!?"

"SIR YES SIR!"

"Commence the mission and return alive!"

Haru's words made the soldiers get pumped up to fight. I don't really know how rallying the people works but if a charismatic and a person that can move someone is very reliable in rallying people. One thing is sure, I am not a charismatic person so this kind of tactic won't work at all.

We started going to our respective positions in the zoo. Still, this is the first time I have visited this place. I am not familiar with the structure of the place so I have to find a good place just to make sure that I can make a good attack against the Behemoth.

The firetruck started maneuvering around the zoo, making its way towards the Behemoth. Without much familiarity around the place, I decided to follow the firetruck on its way so that I can get near the behemoth.

However, just as we arrived on the intersection, the whole place shook once more like it was being shaken by a very strong earthquake. It was quite strong and the things around started crumbling down.

"F*ck! The behemoth is moving!" the soldiers on the firetruck grunt as the tremors keep increasing. 

I had to crouch to avoid falling down into the floor once the shaking intensifies. What is more, I am starting to get dizzy and feel bad. I felt like puking out my breakfast out due to nausea that I am feeling which intensifies as the tremors continue. My vision is getting blurry too. F*ck, not now. I had to stand up and deal with it. Kill that behemoth and everything will end. I grab something in my pocket and pulls out the lollipop that I have been saving for quite a while. Taking off its wrapper, I popped the lollipop into my mouth which allowed me to get a bit good and my nausea is starting to feel a bit less now.

The soldiers are already puking from the firetruck. It looks like I am not the only person who was hit by nausea. Still, they can't keep on puking forever. The tremors already stopped which is good now. If not, this is a tragedy. I quickly help them by rubbing their backs.

"You alright man?" I asked one of the soldiers.

"Yeah. That f*cking tremors earlier makes me feel a bit bad in my stomach. Thanks for the rub."

I started helping the soldiers up. I don't want to activate my selfishness right now. This battle is something that even I have no chance of winning, the only thing to do here is to take help from others. Let's let it slide for now.
