Story:

Hello Captain,

A years ago, strange creatures crawled out of the ground and began attacking cities.

All cities have built firewalls to protect people.

You are the last survivor of the northern defense. The only weapons left are stones from the catapults.

The stones are at both ends of the wall and in the middle. 

Good luck
