Chapter 5.1

The blob attached itself to three of the relay stations. It had managed to lead the mechanized battalion in circles by devouring people in random places around the city. It would not last for long however, as they would sooner or later realize that it was in the sewers.

Another two days had gone by without direct conflict after it attached itself to first relay station.

Many, many tentacles ran throughout the sewers. Some were Orum, some were not. The blob was now large enough to press against both sides of the sewer.

The blob had not noticed that over the past two days, people had been leaving the city. Or rather, they were being evacuated. But it had begun to notice it now.

With it's web of tentacles spread throughout most of the city, it had noticed the growing lack of heat.

A number of its tentacles began moving around as it slowly pulled everything back.

However, it was already too late. Even though it began pulling back, with the mass each tentacle had and given the fact that they were relatively thin and flimsy, it couldn't move them too fast or else they'd tear themselves apart in such a tight space. As such it would take several hours for it to withdraw all its tentacles.

Within two hours everyone had been evacuated from the city.

High up above the city, in orbit around the planet, a ship could be found. A trio of fighters could be seen leaving the ship and descending towards the planet.

They reached the surface and began to fly around the city. After maybe five minutes had passed, a pair of panels swung down on the bottom of the fighters. As the fighters rose up and went in separate directions, the whistling of wind could be heard if anyone had stayed behind.

Dozens of city blocks were vaporized as a metallic cylinder landed on the ground, not to mention the sewers underneath.

More cylinders fell from the fighters in different parts of the city.
