Backdoors: The Survival Guide
Chapter 26: The Last Defense

The quiet and dead environment of the city should only leave a lingering silence, but at this time the place was filled with many sounds ranging from screams, screeching and also the sound of gunfire.

On an overpass on a truck that toppled a team of five with full weaponry waged an all-out war with the monsters.

Lan held the Revolver in her hand, after dropping a monster Lan shot back and dropped the other 5 monsters before she put the Revolver back into her pocket.

Then Lan pulled her katana on the side, while paying attention to the surroundings. It could be said that apart from Lan almost everything was not good enough in close combat, either, and this becomes one of the fatal weaknesses for the team because it will be very dangerous if there are monsters that enter the line of their defense, so his sword became their only hope of survival.

The five people held their ground on the truck, waiting anxiously and holding their breath whenever the monsters tried to attack them in panic. Every time a monster broke through their barricade, Lan maintained her position by using her sword to split the monster in half.

Of course saying it was easier than doing so, whenever he faced a monster in a melee fight, there would always be a chance that could end his life. Lan was not a swordsman, even she had only been holding a sword for the first time just recently when she obtained a katana on the 2nd floor.

It could be said to be quite a miracle for Lan to be able to endure this long with her skills still very at the bottom. During this time Lan had actually swung the sword based solely on her instincts and the best decision she could take in a battle, but because of that too she was able to make it to this place.

It was not easy against these monsters, even though their physical strength was only slightly above that of an average human, however monsters were still monsters, moreover, the number of them clustered overwhelmed Lan as she tried to hold back those who tried to break into the team barricade. And every time he managed to split one monster, the other monsters seemed to be even fiercer in an all-out assault on their team.

The group begins to run out of time and strength to survive, and their ammunition continues to thin. Lan felt frustrated from seeing the others getting more and more desperate. He knew that they could not last for a long time, but he did not want to lose hope. He gathered his strength and asked the others to help him defend their barricades.

They worked together tenaciously to survive, sharing the ammunition they had and repairing their barricades whenever monsters managed to breach their defenses.

Time by time passed, 1 minute. 2 minutes. 5 minutes. 7 minutes...

Fortunately, with good cooperation, everything can still cover each other even though some injuries from monster attacks are unavoidable, even some situations almost make team members can lose their lives.

Seeing the hordes of monsters that kept coming seemed endless should have aroused a sense of despair, but back then on Lan's face there was only a cynical expression that made the monsters feel discomfort.

But due to the order from the King, all monsters could only continue to advance trying to finish off these humans for daring to injure the King.

Just then, one of the monsters jumped up and pounced onto Lan. But Lan cynically shifted her body as the reflection of the newly rising sunlight passed through Lan's body and hit the monster's body. The moment that a miraculous phenomenon occurred, the monster's body instantly quickly became red and did not gradually turn to ashes before it even reached Lan's place.

The other monsters who saw it were stunned to see their comrade turn to ashes, and that was when they realized that it was already early morning. Realizing that all the monsters seemed to be in a panic trying to escape into the shadows again, but unfortunately they were already too late, the rising sunlight began to shine all around.

The monsters that were late to hide instantly became ashes as sunlight shone on them.

In an instant the surroundings were filled with ashes from the monsters, the five of them saw that the day was welcoming them, and they felt relieved that they could survive the darkness.

Of all the floors they come to can be said this floor is really the toughest challenge that all of them experience. All of them had been forced at their limits many times and the previous fight had also left them near death.

There is nothing to say, because they all have the same feelings. They wanted to celebrate their victory but the spirits were all too exhausted from the prolonged battle, so all of them simply smiled at each other without words.

But just then from the side of the bridge a silhouette quickly appeared and in the shadow jumped towards Lan before crashing into Lan falling from the side of the bridge down the other bridge path.
