Anomalies

SCR 037: Underground Breathers

After hiding behind a passageway, I clenched my hands while looking at my own hands still with overflowing emotions. Various harsh words flowed through my mind insulting Ozma because I didn't accept Danny's death. Various methods of ruthless murder I've been thinking of killing this one bastard. Until I finally realized something. My two hands that should have rotted were now back to their original state, as if nothing had ever happened. It makes me a little happy, and also makes my emotions subside a little. I decided to forget that grudge for a while and walked through the hallway where I was standing right now.

Step by step passed, and this passageway looked extremely quiet and boring. I still left my mind blank while walking straight ahead. At the end of the day, my leg was tripped by something. I looked down and found a mound that I knew very well. I grieve annoyed. It felt like I wanted to directly pull the monster that was currently lodged inside its mound, then stab its heart and kill it. But I'd rather go away past him considering that I don't have any weapons at the moment, not even SCR 520 I've left along with the fucking psychopath. I began to walk faster after passing through it, turning my head back to observe its motion. The mound began to rise, and the loud and rough sound of breathing was clearly heard by my ears.

I then decided to run, which was immediately followed by the creature from underground. The floor behind me began to disintegrate as a result of the monster's movements. I sped up my run, as did the monster that accelerated its movement. I started to get exhausted in just a few steps later, which made me to stop while taking in air as quickly as possible. The creature immediately jumped from under the floor towards me while roaring loudly. I stared at him sharply and prepared to land a punch with my right hand as he started landing.

But someone suddenly ran towards the monster from behind me and immediately dispelled the monster with his iron shield, then threw the monster with all his might until his back was injured by being dragged several steps and hit a sharp crack in the floor due to the movement under his own ground.

The man in black turned his head towards me after making sure that the monster would not move for a while due to the wound on his back. He then asked me how I was doing.

“Hey you're fine ?” ask the black man. I just grunted quietly in response. The man immediately understood my answer and walked to the back.

“Not a girl who likes to talk a lot, huh ? Come with me, here peril.”

I followed him from behind. His black-fitted military vest made me believe that he was the same age as Danny, and also had almost the same duties as him. During the trip, the two of us just kept quiet, not saying a word except the first one. That person continued to watch over the other hallway passageway we passed by vigilantly while covering its front with his iron shield. Looks like he's a protective person, even more so than Danny. After some of the passageways we passed in felt safe, he started to lower his guard and stared at me.

“Hey pretty girl. What's your name ?”

“Eva.”

I answered him briefly while putting on a disgusted face. New acquaintances are flirtatious, my insinuation in the heart. The man immediately turned his attention back to the front when he saw that disgusted and cynical look of mine. He immediately muttered apologetically. Hmph, grunt.

The atmosphere again became silent for a while, before the man finally started to introduce himself.

“Known, my name is Rook. Not his real name.”

“Hide behind me.” Tell Rook. I just nodded and immediately did his orders. The monster immediately came to the surface.

“From you, 037 damn.”

It turns out that the monster is named SCR 037, a monster that can walk through the ground. I also slightly shifted out to the left to be able to see SCR 037 moving and attacking. SCR 037 crawled very quickly towards us, and Rook leaned directly behind his shield towards the front. The SCR 037 leaps forward and directly attacks us, but the Rook can withstand a SCR 037 attack using its shield. Rook and SCR 037 are fighting against each other. It is clear that Rook's power cannot be matched by the power possessed by SCR 037. Slowly, Rook is forced to push back. Rook expended all his strength to maintain his position temporarily, before finally getting the same result, he was slowly pushed back.

“Eva, take the shotgun that is behind my back and then, shoot this bastard !” rook yelled at me. I immediately found the shotgun referred by Rook and took it and directed it to SCR 037. However, when I pulled the trigger, no shots were fired.

“You must cock it first, fool ! ”

SCR 037 swung the chain and made Rook flung backwards along with the shield. I slowly retreated backwards while continuing to try to fire at least one bullet from this damn shotgun as SCR 037 slowly began to approach me while growling and showing a row of sharp teeth. After trying many times but not being able to, I decided to take my right hand off the trigger of this shotgun and hold the middle of the barrel using both hands, be prepared to use it as a hitter weapon instead of using it as a firearm.

“No, no, no. I won't let this kayak of yours hurt a beautiful woman like her, bastard !”

I turned my head back when I heard Rook shouting loudly while running towards SCR 037 with a bang. This man is truly shameless, I said in my heart. While running, Rook's right hand grabbed something from his left pouch and instantly, a huge hammer appeared in his right hand. Rook turned the hammer around as he continued to run, and when the distance with SCR 037 was very close, he said, he hit his hammer which precisely hit the chin of SCR 037 and made it thrown very far back. Rook took his shotgun which was in my hand back then cocked it with one hand after storing his hammer to the back of his back. He continued shooting at SCR 037 and then cocked his shotgun back, continuing to repeat until his shotgun bullets ran out. After not being hit by the shotgun Rook back, finally SCR 037 ran crawling quickly towards him, but Rook's reaction was also very fast. He lifted his shield and when SCR 037 was nearby, Rook hit the skull of SCR 037 with the bottom of his shield very hard. The attack almost destroyed the skull of SCR 037 I think, can be seen when SCR 037 fainted immediately after being hit by Rook's attack.

“We're running away from here right now. He will not faint for too long.” exclaimed Rook as he walked away from me and the body of SCR 037 that was lying on the floor.

I held her shoulder and looked at her with a serious face as Rook turned back towards me.

“I have another idea Rook. Give me your hammer, and let me kill this damn monster.”
