Episode 220 [Second Executioner (2)]
The wave that broke out across the Earth brought despair to the entire world, as if mocking the two years of peace.
Powerful countries and developed countries that had endured well so far were no exception.
Egypt, the gateway to Africa, was the first to collapse, and Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Israel, the Arab powers, could not hold out for long.
The islands of Southeast Asia lost contact one after another.
The monsters that destroyed Turkey through the Arab world were spreading to Eastern Europe, and the monsters that destroyed Spain and Portugal were taking over France.
This wave was completely different from previous waves, not only in scale but also in the monsters’ movements.
The actions of the monsters that were dismissed as mindless were at stake. The monsters weren’t rampaging.
They were taking over human lands one by one.
*
There was a sparkling city on the beach facing the sea.
Dubai.
It was a beautiful city called the Golden City.
However, when you look closer, the city sparkling in the sun looks completely different.
Road covered in broken glass and blood. Corpses strewn about. Monsters passing by.
The city was drenched in blood, not gold.
After the cataclysm, the city was filled with a dark atmosphere due to lack of funds and poor economic conditions, but many people still lived there.
But now it has become a city of monsters.
Monsters that came out of Africa and the desert took over Dubai.
The small army was annihilated, and those who could not escape were killed by monsters.
Fortunately, there were still many survivors left inside the numerous buildings.
Tall buildings and strong defensive gates covered with money prevented monsters from invading.
There was a family still safe in the suite atop Burj Khalifa, the heart of Dubai and the tallest building.
They were a middle-aged couple and young men and women wearing traditional clothes.
They were gathered in the living room, guarded by armed guards.
“When on earth will the rescue team arrive?”
“It will come soon. Don’t you even think about the royal family’s reputation?! “Don’t make a fuss and wait more patiently!”
The middle-aged man scolded his young son.
However, the youngest son, who had been eating foreign food, pouted at his father’s words.
“What kind of country has the royal family fallen into ruin?”
The king clenched his fists at the prince’s words.
I wanted to punish him, but now wasn’t the time. The prince also knew this and was behaving in such a wrong way.
Although he was the king who had protected Dubai by enduring the worst economic situation over the past two years, the attacks of monsters were not something he could prevent.
I had planned to give my son a sufficient education after escaping from the city.
These were the King of Dubai and his family who escaped from the Dubai Royal Palace and were stranded here at Burj Khalifa.
During the escape, other royals and subjects lost their lives, and they were the only ones left to hide in this suite.
After the prince spoke, the room became even colder.
The daughters began to sob quietly again, but neither the king nor his sons showed any interest.
It was then.
smart.
There was a knock on the door.
The guards aimed their machine guns at the door, but the king raised his hand first.
“Monsters won’t be knocking on the door. Please open it. “If they are robbers, you can definitely punish them.”
After being locked in the building, people came to this room to borrow or steal food. Since it was a suite, there were enough supplies, but the king had no intention of giving away the goods to the thieves.
When the security guard opened the door, he saw an empty hallway.
And then armed soldiers appeared next to the door. They were soldiers whose bodies were full of dust and blood.
The moment the guards put their hands on the triggers, an officer entered the door with his hands raised.
“It came from NATO. “This is Lieutenant Colonel Charles Amos.”
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief at his words.
He was the person I was waiting for.
And the soldiers covered in blood were special forces sent by the European Allied Forces to help them escape to Europe.
Colonel Charles sighed when he saw the royal family in the room.
‘I had to be discharged immediately after withdrawing from the Congo.’
While I was in Congo, I made enough money to retire and even built a strap for an EV.
At that time, even after I was discharged from the military, there was no one to say anything to me, but my conscience as a soldier led me to remain in the military and come here.
“You are the only one who can pull off this operation. “Please.”
Lieutenant Colonel Amos recalled the words of the NATO commander he had heard before departure.
To be honest, it was an operation that could easily have been rejected based on rank.
However, thanks to his experience in the Congo, he was recognized as the best expert on NATO forces.
I could not refuse the request of the commander, with whom I had been a close friend for a long time.
‘I’m sure he was promised a lot of money.’
Otherwise, there was no way the commander would have asked for such a low-key request.
Although the commander said that he would provide sufficient compensation later, he really intended to be discharged after this operation.
Looking at the situation, not only Europe but also the UK was in danger. I was planning to move to the Eurasian Union with my family at all costs.
“We have prepared an escape vehicle outside the city. “We will go to the coast and take a helicopter from Khasab to Iran.”
We had to overcome monsters, travel 200 km by car, and cross the Mediterranean Sea by helicopter.
Of course, all we had to do was go back the route the rescue team came from and cross the shortest 100 km section of the Mediterranean Sea, but it was an extremely dangerous journey.
The royal family all turned pale, but Colonel Charles laughed inwardly when he saw them.
These royal families were happy.
It was clear that other people were already dead or dying in the city the king had fled to.
“egg plant.”
The king spoke firmly and stood up.
The group all changed their clothes and armed themselves. Women also wore bulletproof vests over traditional clothing that covered their heads.
The king frowned at the sight of the women, but did not dare tell them to take off their body armor.
It seemed like everyone was ready.
But one royal family was doing something else.
It was the youngest prince who was arguing with his father earlier.
The prince was standing at the window that filled one side of the living room, looking out at the desert.
The angry king was about to scream.
“What is that?”
The prince pointed out the window before the king.
At his words, everyone looked in his direction.
Beyond the city buildings was a desert with endless sand dunes. And in the distance, a sand storm was approaching over the desert.
Charles and his crew tilted their heads, but the king and his guards looked out the window and frowned.
“I’ve never seen a sand storm of that type before…”
At the king’s words, Charles hurriedly looked at the desert through a telescope.
Quagwagwagwagwa.
A huge silhouette loomed behind the approaching sandstorm filling the desert.
It was a huge silhouette. There was definitely a monster in that storm.
“No way…”
It was a really huge silhouette. A silhouette as big as an average high-rise building.
Charles shouted in a hurry.
“Escape now! Hurry!”
At his words, everyone ran outside in a panic, and he also left the living room.
But they couldn’t get out of the building right away.
The Burj Khalifa was too high. The elevator didn’t move, and the group walked from the top suite to the first floor. We had to go down.
The group was halfway down the building, supporting each other.
Kwagwagwagwa.
Meanwhile, a sandstorm hit the city of Dubai.
Sigh.
Buildings swayed in the wind and people screamed in shock.
Kaaaaaaaa!
And then the sound of buildings collapsing was heard.
Quaaaaang!
Charles looked out the window.
A sandstorm was filling the city. But he could see buildings collapsing one after another.
A shopping mall, a gym, and various tourist buildings. The buildings that Dubai was proud of were collapsing one after another.
No, a huge monster was approaching, destroying the buildings.
Charles looked down at the gun he was holding.
“There’s no point in this.”
The others were crying when they saw the scene outside. He ran down, but he didn’t follow them.
He just took out his phone and took a picture of the monster he saw outside the window.
It was a monster coming straight towards the building. It was impossible to leave the building until the monster arrived.
It was a huge monster he had never seen before.
Instead of running away, he decided to tell people.
He quickly took a photo and sent it to his contacts on his satellite phone, including
NATO Command Europe
and the EV’s enforcer, who received contact information in the Congo.
He pressed the send button and a moment later the monster called. Arrived in front of J Khalifa.
“As expected, the discharge was too late.”
The colonel clicked his tongue quietly as he looked at the huge monster.
A sandstorm covered the Burj Khalifa.
Quagwagwagwang.
The world’s tallest building collapsed in the sandstorm.
Most of the buildings in Dubai collapsed that day.
Hidden inside the building . People who were inside died in the collapsed building, and those who escaped out of the building lost their lives to the monsters roaming the streets.
After that day, no one left the city alive.
Since the city was already occupied by monsters, it may not be known to the outside world. Fortunately, the appearance of the monster was made known through a contact from a soldier. Both
Europe and the Eurasian Union were shocked.
No one had expected the appearance of such a huge monster.
However, Europe, which was already struggling to stop the monsters pouring in, could do nothing despite the monster’s appearance. There was no.
We had no choice but to ask the Eurasian Union for help again, as we had always done.
*
A few hours later,
in the Russian Kremlin Palace, in the video conference room,
President Bykov greeted the faces of the heads of state on the screen.
“Nice to meet you.”
Everyone accepted his greetings, including the president of North Korea, the president of South Korea, and the head of the independent state of Manchuria.
This was a meeting of representatives of the Eurasian Union.
Because the plane was blocked, the only way to meet face to face was through a video call.
“Isn’t this information incorrect? ?Did such a monster really come out?”
On the screen, the Korean president, covered in dark circles, spoke while rubbing his eyes.
A little while ago, the heads of countries had all watched the video sent from Europe.
Everyone sighed softly at the Korean president’s words. It was the same for all of them, not wanting to believe it.
It is said that the Eurasian Union was better at preventing monsters than other countries, but in reality, it was only barely able to hold out despite all the power of the country. There was almost no power left to deal with
such a monster that appeared out of nowhere.
While everyone was shaking their heads, the North Korean president He opened his mouth:
“Can we stop it if we use nuclear weapons?”
At the general’s words, the head of the independent state of Manchuria, who had just become president, frowned. Because he had many bad memories of the nuclear bomb. But now was not the time to
dwell on those memories. President Bykov opened his mouth.
“If necessary, we should use it .” “Well, first we have to find out which direction that monster will move in. You can find out by checking the direction of the sandstorm.”
The Russian satellite was currently working hard to change its orbit.
“Then, after Russia confirms it, we will decide whether to launch a nuclear weapon or not?”
“well.”
Bykov looked a little embarrassed. The other leaders also made strange faces at his words.
They would look like this when they all gathered together to decide something.
“EV will name the newly appeared monster a monarch-level monster.”
At that time, the screen that had been turned off turned on and a voice was heard.
A man wearing sunglasses. Kay appeared.
When Kay appeared, the Prime Ministers of each country showed various expressions. Some people were happy, some were afraid, and some looked trusting.
Anyway, everyone on screen knew Kay.
Kay continued speaking.
“Our team has now departed for Dubai. Our EV is in charge of that monster.”
Kyung-hoon declared in front of the heads of each country.
