The old war veteran was not to be underestimated. After discussing with him for ten minutes, Peter got a lot of useful knowledge and a few good suggestions. Soon, a good plan was formed. They thought from various angles since the enemies they would have to face were no mere humans. However, the advantage was that monsters were not using modern firearms. A good shooter could easily kill a monster easily. The only exception to consider was that kind of giant monsters.
Finally Peter told to gather the team afer the two decided the plan. The six officers also wanted to participate but Peter denied their opinion. Tina was also left out. Only other eight members of QRT team would go out for the cleansing plan. They would take away one of AMR rifle. As for other heavy firepower, Peter wanted to leave them behind for defense. But he asked a hundred kilogram of C4 from Brian. He sought to take down strong enemy with it.
Although there were some arguments, Peter finally convinced Tina and six officers who were unwillingly to stay in the back just like that. The crowd had lunch together in the living room after that. After the lunch, they started to prepare for the operation. Tina asked Peter whether he would bring other body radios or not. Peter smiled and said, “We only need one to communicate with Chester. You better keep the other things well. After all, we don’t know how long we would be in here and how long the fight will continue. Only keep one in condition and separate the batteries of other radios.”
Tina nodded and continued to put bullets into magazine. Peter watched her and thought many things before he pulled her in front of him to face to face. He touched her cheek and said calmly, “Honey. Let’s get married.”
Tina looked him and asked emotionally, “How?”
Peter kissed her forehead lightly and told her, “Here, just now. I could not give you a grand wedding at Church. How about we ask Brian to be the witness? Will you marry me?”
Tina cried and hugged him. She said with a sob, “I’m willing.”
Soon, the two talked with Brian for a while and then they said the good news to other people. Everyone was happy for them and they were also sad at the same time. They were sad for the uncertain future even though they knew monsters could be solved with firearms. But things were dangerous to do after all. Unlike in movies, mistakes could mean death and somebody they loved would leave them. Even Kevin and Julia were silent. After a simple ceremony, Tina and Peter became a married couple under the witness of everyone.
There was no big celebration, no grand ceremony, no relative witnesses and there was not even the marriage night. Soon, the couple had parted each other as Peter and QRT team left the house in full equipment. Tina was watching the backs of Peter and other people at the windows of the second floor until they completely disappeared into mists. Soon, the door opened again and six officers and Brian came out. They were all wearing necklaces for safety and they were going to find available vehicles nearby. Brian was going to make car bombs in the parameter of the house. He got no plan to escape. It was all about whether they died or we died. Brian talked his determination to other people after Peter’s group left and they all agreed.
Peter didn’t look back. They decided to not take the cars at base. The plan was to find some good cars on the way. They didn’t mind to walk all the way either. Fortunately, they found a jeep and a family car after walking for several minutes. When they found the cars they wanted, they broke into the house to find the keys. The process took another several minutes of efforts and the keys of both vehicles were in their respective garage. The two vehicles were all full of fuel and ready to go.
Four of Peter, Luke, Ronald, Ben and Allen took the jeep while Dale, Mark, Glenn and Steven took the family car. Luke took the driver seat of Jeep as usual while Glenn drove the family car. Luke started to speed up and wanted to head towards Tosta Street directly. But Peter told him to drive around the neighborhood first. The two cars drove around the neighborhood just like that. On the way, they met no monsters but met with the group of officers headed by Brian. Peter let Luke stopped for a while and asked about the situation. When he heard the plan of Brian, he agreed it too. After some talks, Peter ordered the team to go straight to Tosta Street Mansion. Brian and six officers too resumed back to their action.

The two vehicles were moving slowly on silent streets. The strong headlights scattered the mists on the road. Unlike modified family truck which could hang lamps around the vehicle, they could only opened the headlights and move forwards slowly. Peter boring glanced around the surrounding and contacted Chester with radio. Luke was carefully driving and he felt fortunate to have radios produced by Titan company. Although it was just body radio, its communication range was simply too far. Otherwise, they would have a big problem with communication without car radios. Thoughts flashed and Luke felt broken to think many innocent people died in this monsters invasion. He cut off the thoughts and concentrated back to driving. The whole Jeep was deadly quiet like the surrounding and the only sound which broke the silent was of Peter talking back to Chester after half minute of listening. The four in the car behind were looking around the surroundings and they would sometimes talk in low voices. They usually went to gym together but the extremely quiet surrounding made even the familiar people to not want to make loud sounds boldly.
In a dark room, a man in cloak was recording the things he saw in a book while a slap sized little girl with beautiful butterfly wings on her back was sitting on the table and watching the lines which were written down. The darkness of the room could not stop their vision. Two pairs of golden eyes were shining palely in the dark. The blue feather pen suddenly stopped at a point. The man closed the book and stood up. He then gently picked up the flower elf and put her into the pocket of the shirt under the long blue cloak. With a thought, every belongings of his in the small logging hut disappeared. And the man disappeared too. The only extra thing in the logging hut was a stack of two gold coins on the roughly crafted wooden table beside an old lamp.
Soon, two men opened the door and got into the hut. They put down the loads and let out a breathe. The cold air came out and disappeared into air. The outside of the logging hut was impressively a snowy forest. One man went out and started to create a bonfire after clearing the snows on the ground in front of the hut. The another man found the kerosene lamp on the table in a familiar position. When he lit it and put it back on the table, he found the stack of two gold coins beside it. He called out in surprise and went out to show it off to his friend. Under the light of newly started bonfire, the two men saw a four-leaf clover on one side and a tall tower on another side. Although they didn’t have knowledge about coins, they knew one fact which was the meaning of four-leaf clover. So, the two men satisfyingly took one gold coin each and they didn’t have plan to sell them off to make some money. As for who left the coins, they didn’t think more. After carefully putting the coins into inner pockets, the two men started to cook for their breakfast. It was just 4am and they were in the snowy forest in the vast Soviet Federation.
In a thriving beautiful town, a burly and tall man in the long blue cloak suddenly appeared in the busy market street. But no one was making a fuse about his sudden appearance because it was a town for extraordinary people. A small head popped out of the pocket and she moved away the cloak covering her vision with her small hand. When she saw the busy people and vendors selling various foods and fruits, her eyes brightened immediately. At that time, a handsome man in a simple set of clothing appeared suddenly. He bowed and greeted, “Your Excellency Astia, your existence brought luck to this small town of Enoh.”
Then, he smiled and greeted the small elf in the pocket as he handed over a leather bag to her,“Hello, Catherine. I am glad to see you too.”
Small flower elf came out of the pocket with a smile. She gently flipped her beautiful wings and flew towards the bag. She then touched the bag and put it into her space ring. Catherine bowed and took out a jar from her space ring. With her magic, the jar was floating in font of her. The handsome didn’t dare to take it before the man in cloak said, “Take it, Kinich. You jerk. I despise you who wanna make small profit on a child.” . But the man called Kinich smirked cheaply like a child who got a prize, and he disappeared after saying, “Then, I will be gone. Please enjoy your time, Uncle Lewis. And goodbye, Catherine.”
Catherine flew back and drilled into the pocket while the man walked around to buy the things according to Catherine’s preference. After nearly an hour of shopping, the man stopped and sat on a bench. He then looked at something before disappearing.
