Silently watching at the truck which was going away, Chester took a deep breathe and walked back to the mansion. He said to someone nearby, "Inform all team leaders to come to the meeting room. I have something important to say."
Ten minutes later, the meeting room was full of people. There were twelve men in the room. When everyone took their seat, Chester said, "We have a bad news here."
Everyone's heart was raised instantly. They didn't dare to relax because it was rarely considered as bad news by Chester. No one didn't speak and the room fell into silent. When he saw that no one was asking question, Chester leaned back on the chair and asked, "Do you remember about yesterday's explosion?"
Everyone nodded. Of course, they couldn't forget it and they also calculated and guessed boldly that explosion was probably done by Christ who opened the only weapon shop of their town. As for why he did that, everyone wondered. Some thought he met a great enemy and some felt that he was besieged by large number of monsters.
Chester told them, "Let me talk about the bad news first which was informed by the officer Peter. Yes, he was one of them who came to rescue us just now. They were defending against three giant monsters and several hundreds wolves during this morning. After paying a great price, they were able to eliminate them all. That another loud explosion sound you heard before was their work. And I guess that Christ in your mouth might also meet that kind of big guy yesterday. He probably took that monster with him too. Of course, that is just my guess. But it is highly possible. According to intel, only 20mm and above can cause damage to that kind of giant monster. Our officer Peter wanted us to prepare a way out. Currently, our SWAT team has one AMR rifle we brought. Officer Peter gave their Vulcan Gatling to us. But in my opinion, these things aren't enough to deal with several giant monsters. We might be able to take down one but we can't fight against three. I want you to gather available vehicles and prepare a back road to retreat. What you guys think about my plan?"
After saying everything in one breathe, Chester took the water bottle on the table and drank over half in one go. He understood that things could be more serious than he said. After all, Peter told him about their magical artifact. Although they have large amount of people and guns, the ones who can really cause damage to giant monsters are limited. Many people will be killed. Chester thought about it and felt headaches. But after considering about the plan officer Peter said, he felt that there could still be a turn around. They would have to take a big risk if they wanna execute that plan.
The meeting room was still in silent even after they listened to Chester's bad news. It was not because they weren't afraid. But they were silently thinking and making plans. However, they all became extremely mature after experiencing these two days. They felt that rootless argument would be meaningless.
After a while, someone started to talk about his opinion. It was a good looking white man in cowboy suit. He said, "After thinking about it, we are taking things passive. This greatly hindered us in collecting various resources. Although we were able to take the opportunity last night, we all know that is surely not a good thing. Right? So, we have to plan to clean up the monsters actively before they united to besiege us again. According to what you said, officer Peter and their survivors group are probably very strong. We should take advantage of the time when we cleared almost all monsters in the eastern town and help them move their group to here. Unity is strength. We will become stronger with their combination. Then, we will create a special team composed of thirty people to eliminate the monsters around the town."

As soon as his plan was told, everyone nodded in agreement. They believed that they would be able to do many more things if the strong survivors group of officer Peter joined them, whether in operation ability or in weapon power.
Chester also nodded and told his plan to them, “I also thought the same with you. So, I discussed with him before he left. During this special time, one more strength could bring better security. But he said he wanted to ask the opinions of other people. Basically, he could not make major decisions. Giving us that Vulcan Gatling was already a big favor. But even if uniting plan failed, don’t worry, he agreed to participate in beheading program.”
After saying that, Chester gestured to end the meeting at that point and he took the lead to get out of the meeting room.. They had many other things to do. While opening the door, Chester paused and said calmly, “Even if they could not come, SWAT is going to do it by ourselves. After all, we have no choice. By the way, put that Vulcan Cannon in the third floor at somewhere facing the front yard. Make sure to put it at a place which has good view and good angle.”
Then, Chester left the room. He ordered the team member who was standing at the outside to gather all members of SWAT. The other guys spoke each other for several minutes before leaving the meeting room one by one. They wanted to recommend some good players from civilians. As for competing for leadership, there were no fool among them to seek death. If something went wrong, everyone would be finished. They still knew the bottom line.
On the other side, the four of Peter finally arrived back at Julia’s house after some twists and turns. When the other people saw them coming back alive, they felt fortunate. Although the car became a different one and big guy disappeared, they believed Peter would give reasonable explanation to them.
As soon as the four dudes entered the house, they were welcomed warmly. While Tina was giving Peter a sweet kiss, three men of Ronald were given a hug by their friends. Peter then told their experience to other people. After hearing the whole story, Brian and his old friends were glad to know that many people survived. Nobody made complaints on Peter for giving the Vulcan Gatling out. It made Peter felt relieved. He was ready to get scolded when he gave away it. But looking at the situation of survivors, he felt that they needed it more due to the existence of artifact.
He also did a comparison. Shockingly, he found out that if Chester’s group met with giant monster, many people would die or even the possibility of being wiped out would be much higher. Then, he started to make preparation for the next action.
When Peter asked for a map, everyone was surprised. However, his wish was still fulfilled. Because Julia collected a detail map of the town. While spreading the map on the table, Peter said about the shocking plan he talked with Chester. He also expressed that they should do something and they could not resist passively like today because he didn’t want to see the death of another person.
It reminded the death of old Pete and the crowd fell into silence. Even Tina didn’t talk back rarely although she was still afraid to lose Peter. Seeing the silent acknowledgment, Peter explained the detail plan he thought of.
Peter made a conclusion, “I am not sure it is true or not. I calculated the total numbers of monsters in the town by the amount of monsters we met yesterday on the way we were moving to here and the number of monsters we killed on this morning, and ones we met in the siege. It is going to be something between 2000 and 4000. Nearly two thousands were killed already. So, the enemies only have around 2000 left. I am not sure. But on the way, we didn’t even meet with a wolf. The whole eastern side of the town is in vacuum.”
Each person got a different idea after hearing it. Old woman like Julia only wanted her family to be safe so fewer monsters meant safety to her. Men like Rock and Kevin wanted to go out and gather things for the family. Officers wanted to join Chester and clean up the monsters in the town. Brian stood up and asked while walking to the table with town’s map on it, “Son, you sure that there is no monster in the eastern town right now?”
