Head-count (2)

There was no army like a tired and hungry one. The villagers stormed through what was left of the ship, and frantically searched the place. They urged to find the other survivors!

They did so in time. Unsurprisingly, there were a bunch of other people, barricaded in a couple rooms. Everyone who managed to hide, was well and alive now.

"Good job, people! I'm so happy you're well." Gustav repeatedly said. He couldn't help feeling guilty about all this recent destruction, as those aliens might have been looking for him.

He felt even more guilty, when they counted the total number of victims. Throughout this ship, the dead people were a bunch of guards, and tough men who had likely stood behind throughout the disaster, to stall the enemies. These seventeen dead heroes didn't mind sacrificing themselves, for the sake of saving hundreds!
