“What the fuck is this?”
One of the two cops muttered. The other three people were also already sweating.
It was due to a big guy coming into their sight. He is slowly advancing towards them where the old building exists. It is such a huge three meters tall creature basically like a giant or a troll in fairytale.
The only unusual thing is bone armor on it. Yep, somehow, his whole body got covered by exo-skeleton armor from head to toe. It made the men unable to distinguish the status and identity of the target.
And, it also got a pair of sharp looking animal like big claws popping out from a pair of glove shape exo-skeleton. They are full of dried blood on them.
Undoubtedly, this humanoid giant is the culprit. Definitely it should be. Everyone thought so.
As the crowd saw it, he also immediately noticed the strangers. A pair of scarlet eyes looked the strangers through the eyes-slit of exo-skeleton helmet and roared loudly.
“Groar!”
It might have been a frightening roar which could scare away the nearby small animals and birds at normal time. But, the strange wood got no animals and not even a small bird in it for some reasons.
However, the sudden roar successfully scared the shit out of four normal men.
The guys nervously pulled the triggers and started shooting the strange giant at the distance.
Fortunately, the distance between them was not closed. It was like two hundred meters apart from each other. But it also made the four men unable to effectively damage the target easily even if they managed to hit the giant. At that moment, nobody was thinking about it anyways.
Like the four men couldn’t wait to eliminate the threatening enemy. The giant in exo-skeleton armor was not also standing still as a big immobile target in shooting range. It added difficulty in aiming.
After finishing the short loud roar, he started dashing towards the crowd of strangers. It was as if he had the determination to take good care of the guys who broke into his territory.
Many bullets kissed the trunks of trees but a few ended up on the big guy’s chest. Nevertheless, they didn’t even cause a crack. It was just like a joke. No damage at all.
The deer hunting rifle bullets were like plastic pallets and they dropped weakly to the ground after colliding with the exo-skeleton armor of the giant. The four men didn’t see it.
Otherwise, they might have already started running away under a title called strategic retreat.
However, Peter and his guys noticed it. But it didn’t make them faltered.
Looking at the big guy who crossed over fifty meters distance in one breathe, Peter thought about it for a moment and ordered Ronald to shoot one of its two legs. He didn’t want to kill the giant directly.
Ronald was also waiting for the order. As for the little girl’s corpse, it was already on the ground three or four meters behind him in closed contact with the old wall of the building.
He quickly placed it at the place which would not be easily affected by the upcoming battle when Peter notified them to get ready. He was afraid of accidentally stepping on it during the battle.
20mm modified bullet immediately hit the target when the gunfire sound came out as puff due to the silencer. The bullet directly pierced through the left leg of the giant and blood splashed.
It is really an excellent silencer because normal ones would have still made a loud noise which could easily damage the ear drums. But it didn’t make much noises.
The giant’s momentum and his rushing journey was stopped as he lost his balance and crashed to the ground in inertia to eat soil. Fortunately, he got a thick exo-skeleton armor so the crash didn’t give him additional injuries. But now, he started growling while holding his injured leg like a wronged child.

“Head to the target steadily. We are trying to contact the opposite party. I know it’s unlikely to succeed but let’s try it out first. Remember to not attack the lethal parts in engagement. Move out, boys.”
Peter talked to his team and started walking towards the giant at the distance of eighty or ninety meters away. He walked cautiously while scanning the surrounding environment with his spiritual sense at every three seconds. His left hand was also ready to raise the shield for possible sneak attacks.
Four men glanced and nodded at each other with the same decision to follow the big guys. After all, they got no idea about what kind of dangers they would face if they stayed behind by themselves.
They were afraid that another giant which could not be hurt by firearms would suddenly appear from the side again. Although they are not cowards, they don’t wanna seek death foolishly.
Slowly, Peter and his men were cautiously approaching the growling giant. In just a few minutes, they narrowed the distance between them to a few meters.
But that was the end and Peter was not making an another step forward anymore.
He interestingly looked the giant from head to toe. There was only one person who was doing the same thing as him. It was Ben. The rest were either staring tightly at the giant in fear of his sudden attacks or watching out the surrounding for possible attacks alertly.
The four men stood among the big guys and looked curiously at the giant hugging his injured leg on the ground in front of them. They were really amazed by the body size and strange armor like exo-skeleton structure of the other party.
Suddenly, Peter turned his body and looked at the right side of the woods.
The men followed his sight and looked into the woods. They saw nothing but just trees and uneven terrain. As Peter didn’t explain, they switched their sights back to the giant in front of them.
Two minutes passed and a small timid looking figure slowly walked out from a small canyon. It was a little girl who looked exactly like the corpse Ronald carried out of the building.
Peter took back his weapons and armors into his body in the forms of tattoos and walked towards the little girl in big steps with a gentle smile on his face. Only at that time, the men realized that Peter had found a little girl.
Due to the distance of nearly twenty or thirty meters between them, the four normal men didn’t see the little girl’s face. But Ben and the guys looked the girl in a short daze and thought about a lot of things.
The four normal men wondered how but his men instantly knew that Peter might have been communicating with the child in spiritual contact.
But they didn’t put down their guards against the one in front of them and the surroundings.
Coincidentally, the giant raised his head to look at the little girl and Peter who was approaching her. Then, he anxiously tried hard to stand up again while growling at the strangers looking at him.
However, the gun wound on his left leg was not a small thing he could easily ignore.
Although the giant was definitely bearing the pains, he failed to stand up again and again. The wound was affecting his balance too much. After all, that special 20mm bullet penetrated his leg and also conveniently broke the leg bone on the way while damaging the muscles housing nearby.
After failing a few times, he gave up and took the bear movement posture. This time, the left leg wasn’t seriously affecting his movement and balance anymore.
At first, the men looked the struggling giant with careful hearts. They slowly felt relief only when the giant failed to stand up again and again. However, it was only a moment and the plot suddenly changed as the giant started taking a new posture.
Looking at him taking the bear posture, they immediately got a bad idea.
Especially, Ben’s heart thumped as he realized something.
“Be careful! This is a fucking mutated giant bear.”
Ben shouted loudly and pulled the trigger while aiming at the front legs of the giant in moving bear posture. But they were already too late. The giant was already charging at them on three legs.
Allen, Mark, Glenn and Dale, who were not directly facing the giant, also tried their best in turning around to face the enemy.
Fortunately, they were not the primary target of the giant. But it was Ronald in the middle.
Although Ronald was amusingly looking at the giant, he couldn’t do much at the moment.
He thought that he had already neutralized the target so he put away his big sniper rifle back into storage ring and summoned out his big sword.
So when the giant suddenly changed and started charging at him, he only got a sword in right hand and a shield in left hand. Moreover, there were also four normal men who followed to show the way.
He couldn’t think much and took back the sword into his body as a tattoo. He chose to stand head on.
Just as Ben shot and Ronald held the shield with two hands in front of him, the giant hit the shield head on with force. Actually, Ronald was thinking too much. The four men behind him had already jumped to the side after they noticed the charging giant. They still knew to take trees shelter.
And, that unconscious act saved them.
Although Ronald still had some confident on himself, the reality was cruel and he was flown away.
It was as if a garbage bin was hit by a high speed car, Ronald suddenly found himself flying backward.
Really, he was sent away to the several meters distance despite of his heavy overall weight.
The giant on the other side was not also feeling better either. His exo-skeleton head armor was cracked.
Some small pieces were already falling from it and showing the dark hairy part underneath.
The giant didn’t stop at there. He started swinging his front legs at the armored strangers nearby and attacking them while growling and roaring. It was as if a desperate beast fighting for life.
