The Hero
Volume 6 – Dominator
Chapter 5
Getting rid of these monsters who infest humans and use them as shields was the only option they had. However, if that was to happen……
Focusing on the normal civilians in the hospital, the push up towards the upper floors continued on and the 5th floor became the makeshift shelter, with 1 Rank A Hero leading the operations.
“This really puts me in a bind. I’m only the lowest level of the Rank A Heroes.”
The Rank A Heroes that got hurt in the last Earthquake weren’t much. It was quite embarra.s.sing however, this Hero was in the group of Heroes that were hurt.
This Hero’s name was Gunman.
He focused magic in to the tips of his fingers and shot them out like a gun.
Once a person becomes Rank A, they get an exclusive right to give out commands, and the lower ranked Heroes at the hospital were waiting for the commands of this higher ranked Hero. They were in a situation where they did not know how to attack the monsters because they were using their fellow comrades’ bodies as a shield.
However, even a Rank A Hero was having a hard time making a decision. Not only that, but Gunman’s powers significantly dropped when it came to protecting a broad amount of people.
‘s.h.i.t, this is quite the burden. What exactly is that monster? An Earthquake hasn’t even happened, so where the h.e.l.l did it come out from?’
“Have you not been able to contact the Organization yet?”
“The interference from the magic being released is too strong. Without using wired equipment to transmit the message………”
“f.u.c.k, who knew wireless transmitters would be this useless, what the h.e.l.l is the Organization doing?”
Suddenly, a loud alarm rang out into the night sky. It was a loud noise that woke the night up from its lonely sleep.
“Finally! The Organization has finally realized it!”
There was now hope showing on these Heroes’ faces.
“Good. Now we just need to survive. Everyone, please don’t be rash on engaging the enemy and keep it to a minimum. And, I’m going to ask just in case, but does anybody know anything about that monster?”
Gunman looked around his vicinity. n.o.body knew.
“s.h.i.t. It must be a new type, and on an unknown level.”
New monsters were the most dangerous existence to Heroes. A monster appearing for the first time would not have any info inputted into the system, so there was no way to know how strong they were or what their specialty were. That’s why they were known to be on the unknown level. There was nothing scarier than fighting an enemy without any information.
Not only that, but this new type had some form of way of infecting humans. There was no way to know what one’s outcome was after losing the battle with the monster.
“U, ummmm…….Th, then how much longer do we have to stay here for?”
Asked the shaking chief nurse.
Gunman hesitated.
With the sirens going off, it could be seen that this situation was a legitimate situation.
30 minutes, this is the time it takes for the necessary Heroes to arrive and the Special forces to come in and set up a command station.
With the sirens going off, people will probably start to evacuate. But, if this monster wasn’t just hanging out at this spot, and was also located outside of the hospital…….
“If that’s true, then that would be the worst situation. Most we can do is to hope that, that isn’t the case. Either way, there really isn’t anything that’s guaranteed right now, so we must do our best to survive since we can’t receive any commands from the Organization. However, I can a.s.sure you that the Organization will not throw us aside.”
In the midst of everyone silently affirming what they just heard, Ironman felt that it was best to help these people vent. So, he brought up a couple of things he noticed regarding the monster.
“The main enemy seems to be able to exhibit mighty powers in close to mid range. That power is able to crush open iron doors that are shut closed in a mere moment. I’ll say this again but it would be very dangerous to be hit by it.”
With what Ironman just said, Gunman straightened up.
The highest ranked Hero currently was himself, and he knew he must not fall into despair.
Gunman looked towards the nurse that was shivering in fright.
“Did the casualties on the 4th floor evacuate completely?”
“Yes, they were all able to evacuate.”
“Have the normal civilians all head over to the roof. Since the siren has rung, there should be a special team coming out to rescue the civilians. Until that time comes, we will do our best to block off the monsters.”
“Yes!”
“Now, everyone please listen well. I know everyone here has come to the Hospital in order to heal, because I too am also trying to heal. However, it does not change the fact that everyone here are Heroes at any given time. Not only that, but the situation is currently at its worst, and there are regular civilians stuck together with us. First, for those of you who don’t have any problems with moving around, let’s try and block off those guys outside. It’s our job to protect the civilians.”
Gunman said it as calmly as he could. He was never a guy to take the role as a leader like this, but someone had to do it and those that were gathered here were currently placing him as the pillar of their group.
“Awesome. Let’s give it a shot.”
All the Hero’s nodded with a determined face.
The sirens were ringing.
WIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG.
The quiet streets were now slowly coming back alive as the sirens continued to ring out.
Everyone knew what situation usually occurred after they heard the sirens.
The police and military personnel arrived and were now leading civilians away from the city.
“Please move in an orderly fashion! You must move calmly in times like this. Don’t push the person in front of you and move according to the manual!”
In just a short moment, there were many people in a mess, running outside without being able to properly put on their clothes.
Seeing this, Haneul was astonished.
These people were filled with fear, yet they were really moving well in an orderly fashion.
‘This is something you would never be able to imagine in my previous world.’
Thought Haneul.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
“Yes, that’s right. I’m currently 100m away from the scene, watching over the civilians being rescued.”
The phone disconnected midway through.
