Chapter 259: When Pigs Fly
Chapter 259: When Pigs Fly
Currently, most television stations around the planet were screening the same image on their own channels. And that was the live video of the scene of the rift at the Angeles National Forest in the United States of America.
The reason these many stations were able to display the image of the scene was because the government of the USA had already granted everyone free access on their cameras which were installed among the trees.
This was done in order to prevent unnecessary civilian casualties that might result due to the enthusiastic reporters trying to record the war between the monsters and mankind.
And now, as a lot of people around the world was witnessing the huge explosion at the area of the rift, questions mostly revolving around a single essential topic began dawning on them.
"Were they successful?"
"Are the monsters dead?"
"Oh my… the USA is so efficient in dealing with the monsters!"
"What a good strategy!"
"I can't see anything, there is dust everywhere!"
In the meantime, over the internet, many netizens were chatting excitedly.
"Do you think they're dead?" The first user inquired.
"How should I know that, M? Everywhere's covered in dust, let's wait and see." Responded the second user as such.
"But seriously… bombing the entire surrounding of the crack was such a smart idea… I wonder who thought of that? To be honest, this makes me wonder why didn't those other countries think of this?" The third user also threw a question of himself into the fray.
A while later, after reading this, the second user replied back, "That's a good question… hmm, maybe the French government also thought of this strategy… but, since the crack in their country was opened up in the middle of Paris, they couldn't do it. Since that would destroy a large part of the city."
"That makes a lot of sense." Said the first user before adding, "Oh, look! The dust is clearing up!!!"
.

As the whole world continued to stare at their television screens without even blinking their eyes once, the dust covering the area around the rupture gradually started to settle down before a sight became apparent in front of their eyes.
Gasp~
"Oh my god!"
"No way…"
Witnessing the field of interest before them, many people released gasps of shock, startlement, amazement, and fear while some mumbled a few words in a very low tone. These reactions were in large due to the enormous flying creature within their television screens.
This creature in their line of sight was obviously the gigantic pig that has currently opened its wings as it stayed afloat in the sky while casting its shadow on everyone beneath itself.
"Reporting to the commander: Seven of the humanoid rabbits, two of the horned-pigs, and seven of the normal pigs are still alive… the winged pig who seems to be the leader of the pigs is also left unscathed." In the meantime, inside the tent of the commander, while hearing this report and looking at the landscape before them, black lines started to show up on everyone's forehead. It appeared they were expecting much more from the explosion.
Nevertheless, the report proceeded, "This means three of the humanoid rabbits and thirty-three of the normal pigs were successfully annihilated in the explosion."
"Moreover, of those remaining monsters, it seems only a few of them are mortally injured." Also delineating on this piece of information, the reporter finally finished on his detailed account of goings-on at the scene.
"Commander, what's the next round of orders? Should we send the soldiers over first? Or should we dispatch the Abnormals already?" Looking at the commander who was frowning deeply, a person of high authority queried.
Hearing the question, for a while, the frown covering the commander's forehead seemed to deepen even further before he declared eventually, "Dispatch both the soldiers and the Abnormal team simultaneously… but command the soldiers not to be in the way of Abnormals."
"Yes, sir!"
.
.
.
"Seems like… it's our turn…" Listening to the orders being whispered into their ears, one of the two males who was currently carrying a sword on his hand uttered toward his other three teammates.
"Yep, Supersonic Sword bro, it's our turn, hehe, let's go..." The cute girl muttered jovially. She seemed to be really enthusiastic about the battle to come.

Soon, soldiers with special pieces of equipment appeared on the battlefield as they started to shoot and bomb the monsters with their highly lethal weapons.
"Aim at those weakest seven pigs first! Our task is mainly to deal with them." ordered the soldier who appeared to be in charge of leading the other soldiers.
"Yes, sir!"
Promptly, the soldiers heeded his command as they aimed everything they had in the direction of the weakest pigs before taking a shot.
Tratatatat…
Boom!
Bang~
Actually, as a result of the previous explosion, two of those remaining seven pigs were already gravely wounded. That fact together with the constant barrage of soldiers soon resulted in their injuries increasing to the point where they could no longer hold on to their lives.
So, just like that, two pigs fell on the ground as they remained motionless.
"Good job everyone, continue-" Voiced the soldier in the lead encouragingly. However, internally, he was thinking to himself while being filled with worry, 'Even these normal pigs' bodies are so hard… this defense simply makes me speechless… I can only imagine how strong those three remaining pigs are, damn it!'
Of course, the remaining monsters weren't just going to watch the soldiers kill them off one by one and thus, other than the flying pig and those seven remaining humanoid creatures which were still standing on different branches of various trees while looking at the scene before them passively, the rest of the pigs charged in the direction of the scattered soldiers at once.
Their charge was initiated with the five normal pigs taking the lead as they soon reached two of the soldiers.
"Ah…"
"Puff…"
Just like that, those two became the victim of the pigs as they fell on the ground and no longer breathed. They were dead.
Swish~
The third pig was also just about to hit the third soldier when abruptly, a man appeared before that person. Next, for a moment, a line seemed to be drawn in the air in front of that unknown man as the very next moment, that pig's head rolled on the ground.
"What a pig…" As that unknown man mouthed this, the soldier behind him was finally able to see the person who had saved his life.
'A swordsman?' He thought to himself while staring at the sword that was being wielded by him. Then he uttered, "Thank you."
The unknown man, aka the Supersonic Sword, however, didn't even waste a second of his time as he rushed at the second pig.
Meanwhile, another pig was charging toward someone when suddenly, a burly man appeared before him.
Dufff~
"Ahhh" The next second, the pig and the man collided with one another as a loud noise of crash reverberated around the area.
"Awesome, burly bro! You can do it!" Looking at the shocking scene of a single man stopping the huge pig all by himself utilizing his two muscly arms, the cute girl who was standing a meter behind that certain figure stated.
After the pig's cruel rush was stopped, the sturdy man reached his hand as he picked the shield on his back at last.
'I'm saved… hmm, those clothes are worn only by our Abnormal team…' At the same time, the soldier who was saved by the burly man wondered to himself in gratitude while looking at the special suit worn by his savior.
"Ahhhh!!! Die!!!" Picking up the shield, the robust person let out a loud yell as he struck at the pig using the corner of his shield.
Bam!
"Oink! Oink! Oink…" The pig began to wail while a rather big wound opened up on its head due to the impact.
Nonetheless, it was clear this wasn't the end since the brawny man continued to thrash his shield at the pig nonstop.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
"Die! Die! Die…"
"Oink…" By the end of his nonstop strikes, the pig had already dropped on the floor as its head was extremely disfigured while blood gushed everywhere.
.
.

Swish~
Another pig was almost upon someone else when a cold beauty appeared as she simply waved her hand without letting out the slightest of sounds.
Gush!
A moment later, the pig stopped in its track before its head slipped on the ground from its very neck as a fountain of blood rushed out everywhere.
With this, in just a few seconds, three of the pigs were already slaughtered.
It didn't take long before the remaining two pigs were also slaughtered by the hands of the swordsman and the cold beauty.
Watching this amazing scene, everyone was startled once again as they looked at these newcomers with shining eyes of hope!
Seeing its underlings slaughtered, the two horned-pigs' eyes seemed to be bloodshot as they rushed at these newcomers in a frenzy.
"Everyone, gather behind me! Quick! These two seem to be much stronger than those normal pigs!" The muscly man cried as he properly wielded his shield and took a praiseworthy stance.
Hearing the loud shout, both the cold beauty and the cute girl instantly heeded his words as they rushed behind him silently. The Supersonic Sword, however, let out a harrumph of disdain and stormed in the direction of one of the horned-pigs after uttering, "Tch, they're so weak. I, alone, will be enough for slaughtering them."
