Since she was a child, Kate has had an inexplicable longing for the starry sky above her head.

Whenever she raised her head and looked up at the stars, Kate felt as if a part of her soul was being sucked into the vast galaxy. She always had a feeling that her soul seemed to be closely related to the distant space.

, if possible, she even longs to go to space, where she can experience for herself... the feeling of soul connection.

But unfortunately, the war ended the girl's innocent and romantic dream.

After the Pendulum War, mankind did not enjoy long-term peace, because soon, the beasts burst out of the ground and turned the world into a hell.

In Kate's memory, her childhood was only filled with escape, war, death, and various conflicts. Those once beautiful pasts have been completely destroyed. Even the feeling that she once felt that she could

The power that connected the starry sky seemed to have disappeared without any trace.

Of course, for Kate, this is nothing worth worrying about. The kind of fairy tales before children go to bed have long been a thing of the past, and what she faces now is a completely different life.

"call……………"

Kate pulled away the shabby scarf that covered her mouth and let out a breath. She clenched the rifle in her hand and stared at the surroundings with vigilance. Behind her, there was a group of migrating homeless people - just a few months ago, they

They still lived in a nearby town, but as that town was discovered by the orc scouts, it meant that it became increasingly unsafe. Therefore, people had to choose to move again...

This is the life of nomads. Due to various reasons, they are unable to enter the last fortress and base of mankind. The orcs cannot penetrate the Jasintu Plateau on the surface, so they live wandering outside. Of course, the reasons for these nomads are different.

It's different. Some people can't stand the iron-fisted methods of the security government alliance that rules Jacinto. Some people hate the security government because of the previous Pendulum War. And some people simply don't have a way to get there...

Kate is one of them.

When she was young, her parents were killed due to the invasion of orcs. After that, Kate just wandered around like a mouse. She had been among many homeless groups, until now——

Fourteen years have passed, but for Kate, the terror of those orcs still makes her sleepless and sleepless.

"Hey, Kate."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. Kate was so frightened that she quickly raised her gun and turned around, only to see a young man wearing a helmet standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

"It's you, Carmon, be careful I shoot you in the head."

"Hey, I didn't mean it."

The young man raised his hand to signal.

"I just want to buy you a drink. Look, I found something good before..."

As he spoke, the young man took out a bottle of wine from his arms and shook it in front of Kate.

"I don't have time now."

Although Kate was jealous of this bottle of wine, she still glanced around and spoke.

"Don't forget, we are migrating, if we are discovered by the beasts..."

"Then go to hell."

Carmon didn't take Kate's words seriously. He opened the bottle, took a sip, and then reached out to wipe his mouth.

"Tell me, Kate, is there really hope for humanity? We don't know how many armies the Orcs have, and we don't have much left. The same goes for this tribe. We simply can't stay in one place for a long time.

No matter where I am, I always worry that the ground beneath me will suddenly collapse one night, and then a group of orcs will emerge from inside and hack us to death... Isn't this the fate of homeless people? The security government is useless at all.

How can we be better off? It's better to leave this damn world early... At least it can give me a good dream."

"…………You drank too much."

Smelling the smell of alcohol coming from Carmon's mouth, Kate frowned and hid back. People like Carmon who have lost hope in life and the future are many among the homeless. They are afraid of the attacks of the beasts, but are powerless.

Resistance makes them nervous every day. Some people often choose to commit suicide because they can't bear this kind of life without seeing tomorrow or hope.

What about Kate herself?

She felt that she didn't have free time to think about this kind of problem every day. She just did her work and immersed herself in it. Whether it was fighting or anything else, as long as there was something to do, Kate would not think randomly.

"What's wrong with drinking too much? Come and drink too..."

As he spoke, Carmon walked towards Kate with a smile again, and at the same time raised the bottle again and took a sip, and at this moment...

"boom!!"

With a gunshot, Carmon's head was instantly pierced, and the wine bottle he put in his mouth exploded. The wine spilled out, covering Carmon's head and face. But the young man was just stunned.

He stood there - and then fell to the ground.

At the same time, Kate also heard the familiar, nightmarish roar of a beast.

"The enemy is attacking, it's the orcs!!"

Kate shouted while squatting on the spot, hiding behind half of the wall. At this time, she saw several tall orcs jumping down from the surrounding ruins, holding weapons and heading towards the homeless team.

Launched an attack. At this moment, the originally slow-moving homeless team suddenly exploded. Many people screamed and ran forward, trying to escape the attack of the orcs. But they knew very well that these orcs would not just kill them.

, they will take humans as captives, take them underground, and then turn them into miserable slaves and experimental subjects.

Obviously, even these homeless people do not want to face this outcome.

“Da da da da da da!!!”

Kate crouched behind the bunker, raised her gun and fired straight ahead, trying to block the attack of the orcs. At this time, several other guards rushed over to cooperate with Kate to contain the orcs. Anyway, now that these things have appeared

Beast, then the rewards for Kate and other guards on this mission will become much richer.

The premise is that they can return alive.

"Quick, quick, quick! Let them get out of here quickly!!"

Kate shouted while pulling the trigger, aiming at the orcs ahead and pouring out ammunition crazily. However, this was of little use. The orcs' tough bodies prevented them from falling down just because they were hit by a few bullets. Not to mention.

It is said that what Kate and other homeless people are holding are not advanced weapons from the regular army, but just some light rifles that were eliminated during the Pendulum War. Such rifles are naturally no problem against humans. However, they are used against rough-skinned beasts.

clan, it’s no different from a water gun.

Kate saw with her own eyes that her rifle bullet hit an orc soldier's head, and a flower of blood bloomed. For a human, this shot would have been fatal. However, the orc just tilted his body and continued to stride toward them.

He rushed over and waited until Kate had finished half the magazine of bullets before knocking this guy to the ground.

Hopefully it's just a patrol...

Kate hid behind the bunker again, took the time to change to another magazine, and prayed silently in her heart. However, soon, a series of roars came from all directions, completely cutting off Kate's hope.

"Damn it! It's the orc army!"

"We must retreat!!"

At this moment, these guards also began to retreat quickly. The homeless people in front were dead. They had obviously entered the ambush circle of the orcs. It was meaningless to care about the homeless people at this time. When Kate turned around, she even saw a large number of them.

The orcs rushed towards the group of vagrants and knocked all those who ran away screaming to the ground.

"Go! Go quickly!!"

There is no need to think about the reward. Being able to leave here alive is the biggest reward. The guards left one after another, but Kate was hesitant. She looked at the homeless people who were being attacked, and then at the retreating guards behind her.

Not sent.

"Hey, Kate, it's too late if you don't leave!"

Seeing Kate staying there, a guard shouted. Perhaps his voice attracted the attention of the orcs, and soon a bullet flew past and penetrated his head. At this moment, the homeless team was already

There was a chaos, and those homeless people who had no time to escape were knocked to the ground by the beast tribe and then captured.

"Mommy mommy…………!!"

A child was crying for her mother, but the next moment, she was knocked to the ground by the orcs.

Seeing this, Kate made a decision.

She turned over and crossed the obstacle, relying on her slender body to rush into the gap, and then came to an abandoned sentry not far away, where an Orc firepower turret was set up. At this moment, an Orc was controlling the firepower turret, haha

Smiling and pouring firepower on the homeless team.

"Hey!"

Kate jumped up and came to the back of the orc, then she patted the other person's shoulder, and then stabbed the orc directly into the neck, kicking the corpse directly. Then Kate grabbed the fire turret

, aiming at the orc army.

"You bastards! Go to hell!!!"

“Dong dong dong dong dong!!!”

Along with Kate's roar, the fire turret once again poured out countless bullets. However, this time its target was not the homeless people, but the Orcs. The Orcs who were attacked from behind soon realized that the situation was not good.

Roaring, he turned around and fired wildly at the turret. Kate did not dodge or dodge, but just stood behind the turret and continued to pull the trigger, roaring and firing out a hail of bullets.

But before Kate could kill a few more orcs, a violent impact came from behind her, knocking Kate to the ground. She raised her head blankly, and saw a strong orc glaring fiercely.

Looking at her, she yelled and stepped on Kate's head. Kate rolled almost instinctively and avoided the fatal blow. Then she jumped up with almost all her strength and jumped onto the beast.

Kate put a grenade in her arms directly into the waist of the beast tribe, and then jumped back with all her strength.

"boom!!!"

The grenade exploded instantly, blowing the Orc's body into two halves, and Kate was also blown away and fell heavily to the ground.

"puff!!"

She spit out a mouthful of blood. Kate, who was lying on the ground at this moment, didn't even have the strength to continue fighting. She could see that the orcs around her were slowly approaching her.

Maybe, this is my own death.

Thinking of this, Kate raised her head and looked at the starry sky in front of her.

This starry sky is still so beautiful, but... there seem to be more twinkling stars in the sky than I remember?

Huh? What is that?

Soon, Kate discovered that something seemed not quite right. In the starry sky in front of her, the countless shining stars seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and they were getting closer and closer to her...

Are these stars going to fall from the sky?

At this moment, Kate's mind turned to thoughts that even made her laugh.

But then, she saw these lights...falling from the sky and hitting the beasts heavily.
Chapter completed!
