My Range is One Million

Chapter 53: Rescue Mission 2

KwangKwang!

Everyone in the big van screamed when it came into a crash as it spun and rolled around in circles.

“Leader! What do we do?!”

“What’s going on?!”

“The left control had come off!”

“Everyone! Go to your left!”

He shouted. Everyone then instantly moved without any hesitation. Someone then tore off the iron plate on the right window and opened it.

“I can’t breath!”

“Aren’t you a healer!”

“It doesn’t mean that I would always be fine either!”

One person from the passenger’s and the driver seat looked like they were about to faint. One of them covered a hole near him with his hand before he yelled over to the guy next to him.

“We’re going to die!!”

“Did we get attacked?!”

“We were travelling just fine!, why would someone attack us?!”

“What if we die?!”

“Hey! Quiet down!”

“You guys, stop fighting!”

The van had turned into a total chaos as the time continued to pass by. The navigation said that it was a composite attack but it seemed bigger than that since they got propelled by the impact. Everything was just going so well, it was quite an experience for the 16 people that were inside the bus.

Attached to the big van was a trailer full of expensive monster corpses. Three of them were the animals that they had hunter earlier. The end of their raids had been announced so they were on the right side of the van partying and drinking to celebrate. That became a problem.

They shot their guns and riddled their bus’ ceiling to salute their victory. They also shot the 20mm machine gun for fun and that caused a disturbance on the area that they traversed. Everyone inside thought that they should have been more thoughtful of the noise that they caused.

The attack really wasn’t that bad compared to the worst-case scenario that had been imprinted on their minds. The monster wasn’t serverly hungry when it attacked the bus but they still had to be careful of getting hurt. Even though they were good at hunting, going out with a wound would still be hard to deal with. They had been through intense raids these past days so that’s why they didn’t think of anything else when they celebrated with their guns.

Eujiik...

Their roof was then torn apart. They tried to regain control over to their left side but then they had felt something had been broken.

“When are we going to get there?!”

“I don’t know! Ugh... It must have been over an hour since then...”

It had only been about ten minutes since the signal had been sent but for them, it felt like an hour.

The attack still went on and they all felt like their bus would soon break up in half. It bit through every inch of its metal frame and now, its fangs managed to reach someone’s leg.

“Argh!”

“Leader!”

“Oh no!”

The leader’s leg was bitten. They tried to strike the monster with a sword but then the monster retracted its mouth and dragged him outside.

“Ahhh!”

The leader screamed on top of his lungs as his blood splattered everywhere along with his limbs. One female platoon member saw it and she couldn’t stop herself from vomiting. She started to scream, she and their leader had a fling going on.

“He’s being eaten... Someone!”

One guy yelled but no one had the energy to do anything. It wasn’t that they were happy about the leader being eaten, they just wished that they would attack the other trailer instead. Three people had already died out of group 10 since it happened. One had died due to friendly fire while they were driving and another guy had died as well. Two of their members had fainted and the remaining ones were left panicking.

The monster had finished chewing its food and walked forward. It was following a scent from somewhere but it had no idea about what it was supposed to find since it sadly missed the things inside the trailer. The monsters had traveled far and it came for nothing, it was very hungry and it needed something to eat.

Its hunger died because of the human meat that it had eaten and it remembered its babies waiting inside its nest. It then decided to bring something home to them. It tore off huge chunks of iron with its mouth and moved them away. They were quite heavy but it moved them slowly. It then made its entrance and thought happily about feeding them to its babies. It then flew away thereafter towards the direction of its offsprings but then, it felt a great pain surging from its wings.

PangPang!

It unfortunately dropped its prey but it continued to fly.

It felt a flame passing by at the bottom of its foot and it was about to fall down but it spread and flapped its wings with a greater force to fly higher. The area was very low so it flew close to the ground but it aimed to fly higher and higher and focused on getting to its destination instead of dealing with the pain.

A new box of goods appeared in the same place but the damage that it suffered was too severe at the moment.

The monster continued to fly with all its strength. It then made a landing to its nest where its children were. Even though it had a difficult time going back, the monster wasn’t worried. They were aiming at it while it was flying but the monster didn’t suffer from any wounds.

It have never experienced anything like that before but it wasn’t scared. It just thought that it could have been worse. It spat the person it ate out of its mouth and it was then suddenly shot in the head.

“A 400 meter shotgun attack!”

PongPongpogPong!!!

They continued their attack from a distance. They aimed their sniper rifles towards the monster and caused incomparable damage compared to their machine gun.

The monster screamed and fell from midair. It tried to get itself back but the humans pressed on with their attacks.

Pong! PongPong!

It rotated in the air and tried to dodge the but two bullets managed to make its mark. They went on with their assault but it maneuvered itself and made a clever escape.

“Cease artillery attack 1! Continue artillery attack 2! Don’t let it get away! Start attacking on its right!”

Joonghwi commanded them to not lose the monster. It kept trying to get away even though it was starting to fall down the slope. They kept shooting but the monster eventually got itself back in the air once again.

“Aim!”

Joonghwi shouted and Jonguk adjusted the ground-to-air missile and aimed it at the monster. It was a very expensive weapon that they have yet to use but going against that monster was a situation that calls for its use.

Joonghwi watched the monster with a pair of binoculars. It flew with its feathered wings and was about to get out of their range.

“It escaped. Stop the attack!”

They then stopped their machine guns at Joonghwi’s orders. It was unfortunate that they couldn’t continue their hunt and it wasn’t easy for them to see it get away. They would have succeeded if it was afraid but the monster turned its head in the opposite direction and escaped.

“Peji! Drive closer! We have to get the injured members!”

“Yes, sir!”

Peji quickly turned the handle and started to catch up.

“Everyone, let’s go, aside from the machine gunner and Peji! Set up everything! Peji! Do a thorough check of the area!”

“Yes, sir!”

They reached their destination and the platoon members started to spread out in all four directions.

“Yuri! Jaehwang! Go see if there were any survivors!”

Yuri followed his orders and put on her power suit before she went outside together with Jaehwang. Joonghwi who stood next to the machine gun looked over to Mingyeong and said,

“Mingyeong! Go with them!”

Mingeyong then dried a tear from her eye and nodded her head before following along behind Yuri.

Yuri saw wrecked piece of iron and something seemed to be under it.

“Ahhh... It hurts...”

“Ss..save me,please...”

The wreckage looked horrible and they were about 300 meters away from where the accident had happened. Jaehwang and Mingyeong then rushed to the injured members and saw that they weren’t dead and some of them had suffered from fractures.

“Ouch!”

“Healing light!”

Mingyeong placed the broken arm back into its socket and started using her healing powers. Jaehwang on the other hand, took a piece of cloth and wrapped it around an another injured member’s bleeding stomach before he started to heal him.

Yuri watched them from the outside and nodded her head. Jaehwang’s healing abilities were good but Mingyeong’s were much faster. She was a specialized healer, she’s not only good for battles but her skills were always useful.

“Wait! We need more!”

Time passed and they were able to heal them one by one.

“It’s working!!!”

The dreadful place started to shine with a colorful light as they helped everyone recover with her special skills. She healed each of of them without any side effects.

She was doing so great that Jaehwang couldn’t do anything but to step back and be amazed. She seemed to have a battle panic disorder when they started the mission but now, it seemed like a foolish thing to think about.

Yuri who was watching then yelled.

“Stop! Retreat! Retreat!!!”

“?”

Jaehwang then stood up after she noticed her voice.

“Just leave them! Come out!”

Teukteukteukteuk!!!

They then heard the violent sound of a machine gun. An accident had happened.

Jaehwang ran out but he then noticed that Mingyeong didn’t... she heard Yuri’s warning but didn’t act fast enough and was stuck inside the wreckage.

Rescue Mission 2, The end.
