Sneak Peek

"What exactly did they see again?" a soldier asked in Russian.
"I don't remember the details, but let's let Renko take the lead on this one, I'd rather keep my head today," another soldier said.
"It's supposed to be something new," a third said, Renko, "having tentacles on its back, extra arms above its head, and three rows of serrated teeth,"
"God, are you trying to scare us? We have to fight that goddamn beast too,"
"I'm only repeating what I heard, and to be honest, I hope it's true," Renko said.
"Renko, we're not like you, you've been guarding the zone for eight years, some of us are on our first time,"
"Then let me do the work, you can learn by watching, and become a real Exos soldier,"
The soldiers exchanged glances, when they heard a loud scream.
"How far are we?" they asked.
"We're right on the city outskirts," Renko replied.
