Clearing the Game at the End of the World Chapter 177

Chapter. 10 Lead and silver coins (29)

****

If I were to find the easiest criterion to distinguish between victory and defeat in a battle, I would definitely put order first.

As the battle becomes more intense and one side’s superiority begins to be revealed, confusion is bound to come to the defeated army.

At a glance, if one side is orderly and the other side is not, it is easy to tell that the orderly side is winning.

In that sense, the current battlefield was a strange scene where victory and defeat coexisted.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

“Plasma charge 7 seconds!”

“Suppression team, discharge!”

Squeeze!

“Kwaaaaah!”

“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Electromagnetic net and plasma injection machine. And aim fire at neutralized enemies.

On one side, trained soldiers were working together like machines, literally grinding out variants.

Crumbling, crackling! Wow!

“Don’t approach me! “It’s Abomination hyung!”

“Damn it, who uses a regular shield instead of a bubble! “I’ve told him several times not to use high-defense shields since he’s using the corpses he sucks up as a shell!”

“Ugh! Take it out, take it out! Manny, Sergeant Manny! Argh!”

“Summers, watch your step… I told you, you idiot!!!!”

Taang!

On the other side, Type 3 mutants of the Artists’ Union, who had been brought in to break through the front line, were running amok, causing chaos.

It is similar to the Abomination seen underground in Area 45 a few months ago, but it is a variant that devours everything around it in real time and embeds it alive into its shell.

A variant that wears a restraining straitjacket and a gas mask, and makes people complain of claustrophobia and throw off the gas mask just by approaching it.

and,

Taaang—

“Ugh!”

“It’s a sniper! Bow your head! “Bow!”

“Not us! The catapult main wire was damaged! “They… are targeting the equipment!”

If there is even the slightest gap, they will always attack you with a sniper attack.

The professor admitted his misjudgment. I thought that the dome’s garrison-level defense would be sufficient to block the enemy’s offensive, but the enemy’s breakthrough power far exceeded my expectations.

‘The situation… is more serious than I thought. If things continue like this, I’ll just end up getting beaten up.’

Even as he immediately shot down the three mutants that had breached the garrison’s defensive wall, his eyes were endlessly scanning the battlefield.

‘Absence of commanding authority. Commanders were attacked?’

‘There are three types of people who dug in. Abomination, straitjacket, and the one who appears to have attacked the commander’s barracks.’

‘Corretting the confusion among our troops is a condition for victory. If we can somehow make it run according to the manual like a front line without Type 3, its true value as an army will be revealed and its combat power will increase several times.’

‘We must capture the enemy elite. Whoever it is, as quickly as possible!’

It was clear what to prioritize.

‘Abomination that forces a bubble shield to peel off even with a light hit. A straitjacket that forcibly removes a gas mask and reduces its chemical protection. This means exposing them to that smoke. Attacking the commander’s barracks means paralyzing the command system. He used snipers to slow down our troops’ movements. All strategies are focused on causing maximum confusion to allies. They know it too. How powerful is Dom’s army, which has really begun to function!’

Those running wild at the front line expose allies to smoke, soldiers overcome by mania break up formations, and while the confusion is heightened, snipers neutralize key classes or equipment.

A strategy completely focused on the vicious cycle of confusion. Dealing with the enemy in this position would only play with the enemy’s will, so we had no choice but to attack the enemy’s weak points.

I can’t go. When the enemy’s ranged team collapses, you need a command unit to take care of the chaos among your allies and issue orders appropriate to the situation.

Vex is also not possible. Even now, if the guy who is running around like crazy and blocking the breached defense line is missing, one side will completely collapse. No matter what he did, he was running through the hole-filled battlefield one step faster than me, and thanks to this, several defense lines that were about to be destroyed were barely holding on.

“Ian. Ezel. “Can you do it?”

“Hehehe. When did you do it because you could? “I did it because I had to.”

I wonder if he’s holding a cigarette inside the skin mask, hmm! And with the sound of him snorting, dozens of streams of smoke came out from the mask.

A BDSM armored truck whose penetration power has been maximized through tank armor through various modifications, and Ezel’s exosuit loaded inside it.

Now that military firepower is tied up, these two are the most powerful ace cards given to us.

“…Plasma charge, completed. I repeat, if you fire this time, a sniper will fly in and neutralize you before you can activate the cloaking field again. In the future, if three or more high-power equipments are attacked, there will be no more battle lines….”

“We have to open the way for the truck to exit, so use maximum power. This is the only way. staff sergeant.”

“….This is the second lieutenant. We will fire after the count. “Be careful of rear heat.”

He adjusted his military uniform with the sergeant rank insignia and began giving instructions to the equipment operators.

One of the non-commissioned officers and lieutenants who are somehow reconciling the front line on behalf of the commander-level executives who have not heard any news.

He probably knows too. The moment the cloaking field is caught in the airflow of the plasma catapult and goes out, it becomes the sniper’s most important target. That is why they wear such low-rank military uniforms. It may be because he wants to live, but he probably knows how important his position is in the current situation, so he desperately hides himself and continues to follow orders.

In such a situation, I ordered the use of the equipment at the risk of losing the cloaking field, and he accepted.

He had already put his life in the balance and decided that one shot of plasma was worth more than exposing himself and getting shot.

Not much was said about it. They just make eye contact for a moment and then go back to their respective tasks.

Grumble, growl! Hairy hairy hairy hair-

“Count 10. 9. 8. 7-”

“Finish quickly and come back. The damage here has already reached a point where it is difficult to repair. Even if we take care of the enemy’s backline, it won’t be easy to push out the mutants.”

“In an instant, you can go from dead idiots to idiots who don’t even know how to face the enemy. “I’ll be back soon.”

“…I’ve been getting beaten to death by those idiots for a few days now.”

“Hehehe! So wouldn’t that be better? Since I’ve been beaten for so long, I have to beat him up this time. Don’t be scared and jump out. Ezel.”

The two relieve the tension of the battle by telling silly jokes.

“6. 5. 4-”

“…Keuung. Hey, let me ask you something, Professor Park.”

“why. You don’t want to go? “Even if I asked you to leave, it was too late.”

“Not that one. “Um… you know… are you sending it to me?”

A guy who tries to say something out of the ordinary but then hesitates.

Even as he spoke to me, Ian’s eyes were focused on the hill in the distance where the enemy was. Instead of the usual crazy look, the eyes look thoughtful. A look that places something other than death between the enemy and me.

On the battlefield, it is called a ‘mortal prize’.

“Stop talking nonsense and just treat war as war. “For someone so sentimental, I’ve never seen him come back alive and well.”

“…Okay, let’s go and enjoy the appreciation.”

“I, too, just say something! “When I die, all my assets will be distributed to the District 47 chat room…”

That penny-pincher is doing it again.

“…If possible, Ezel will come back alive too.”

“Hehehe. well? “If you compare the rate at which sentimental people die, that person is already a corpse.”

“Ha, one more thing! To Teoluk and Noru, they may be the most shitty assholes in the world, but they are still lovable assholes-”

“3. 2. 1. Plasma, injection.”

Crackling- crackling, weeeeeeing-!

Puhwaaaaaaaaa!!!

Gigigigigigi-! Ahhh!

“Wow! Damn it! “At least say something about leaving!”

“If you keep nagging me, I’ll bite my tongue! cherry! “Hold on to something in the luggage compartment!”

“Oh, not yet! The road surface has all melted! Now, let’s cool off the residual heat and leave-”

“These are metal tires! “It’s nice that you’re warm when it’s cold!”

Plasma constantly heated through particle acceleration swept over the battlefield, and in an instant, a truck armed with an automatic turret and saw blades ran, scraping the road, into the battlefield, which became an empty lot.

Part of me wanted to watch them break through this siege, but there was no time to rest even for a moment. Because I also have work to do here.

“The soldiers who went to the command barracks. Have you returned? “I knew that most of the vehicle operators headed there along with the broadcast.”

“Not a single person has returned yet.”

The professor listened backwards to those words. The center of the station is extremely quiet, where not a single gunshot can be heard. If there is a battle there will be noise. If there was no battle, they would have returned safely.

“…..All right.”

“I wish you luck.”

“That one too.”

Soldiers struggling to open the gap created by the truck. After giving a brief salute to the second lieutenant heading towards them, I ran in the opposite direction of the front line, toward the inside of the garrison.

An eerie feeling that cannot be described. The mutated arms and upper body were vibrating loudly. As if calling me.

It was not a feeling or inference, but a clear sense. Another sense that I have never felt before, that is outside of the human senses.

Something changed, not just in my mood, but physically.

‘eight. Chest and back. Next… is it the head? Virus child. ‘I secretly wanted you to come down.’

I didn’t realize it when I was running in step with my group, but the speed I was crossing the garrison at now had long surpassed my normal sprinting speed.

change. It was necessary, but the speed of change was too fast, regardless of my will.

‘Write it. It seems like I’m gradually walking down the path of becoming a human being.’

[Because you accepted it in your heart. From the control of your body being handed over to you to the rapid transformation of your body. On the surface, these things move according to my will, but in the end, fundamental changes are taking place due to changes within you. It was as if the debt of my mind for saving my life had handed over control of my body as if paying me in return. What on earth are you thinking? Our most important goal was ‘survival’, right? source of life. Surviving. No matter what I do, no matter what I do.]

Hyde’s worried complaint. I strengthened my legs with a familiar feeling and jumped over the two barracks at the same speed I was running at. Oh my, it’s better than inside. Because this leg won’t break if you apply too much force to it. Nothing has changed on the outside, but it seems like a lot has changed on the inside. This may mean that the remaining time may be shorter than you think. I can’t wait until a year, right?

‘They say people always change. There was a lot going on this year, but I guess I’ve changed a bit too.’

My ears were filled with the faint sound of the wind passing by and the noise of the battlefield. Fire and smoke. Combat vehicles cut into pieces and crushed. You played this game so negligently.

Sigh!

As we got down in front of the barracks, the sound of courtesy became even stronger. A feeling of popularity can be felt inside the half-collapsed barracks.

[He knows you are here.]

‘Because I came to make such a fuss.’

[This is not a guy you can deal with alone. Can’t you see any signs of battle nearby? Everyone suffered at the hands of the same guy.]

‘I know. What did you come down here for? If we had pushed the front line with the others, we would have been robbed already.’

[Don’t you know what it means to not move? They’re waiting for us to come find them.]

‘I know, dude. It’s a threat. If you don’t move, they will attack the back of the barely holding battle line.’

Regardless of time and place, the place where the commander of the garrison stays is the safest and boasts the strongest defense power.

A shield for command barracks that boasts an output comparable to that of most tank shields.

A location located in the center of the combat vehicle concentration area, the main combat equipment of the current Area 47 Support Force.

Even veteran soldiers keep their eyes on and watch the surroundings 24 hours a day.

The commander barracks at the center of the garrison were silenced by the hands of just one entity.

It was an example that clearly showed what level of combat power he had.

‘I was anxious because I couldn’t see the guy I was constantly guarding, but he was here.’

Even after cutting down a combat vehicle with a solid alloy frame, the claw marks left behind left deep scars on the ground.

Dozens of rescue signals confirmed as we entered the radioactive zone starting from Area 41, and deep, sharp marks that were always left there.

The reason there was no blood left was because there was no battle. The only traces that remained were the traces of pain left by the people in the process of being transformed into mutants by Orpheus, and the claw marks of the bastard who disabled the shelter’s shield and defense equipment in one blow.

“You are waiting inside. This is it…”

An unknown enemy who constantly gets on your nerves and exposes his location as if he were challenging you to a fight.

Looking around, I saw one of the dismembered combat vehicles with an intact front end.

A perfectly prepared machine gun, and an ammunition box that was neatly filled with no gaps, as if he had been killed before he could even fire.

“If you’re looking forward to a cool one-on-one match, you definitely don’t want to do that, right?”

As always, the direction that destroys the enemy is the direction I should move in.

Iron-gagging!

The professor turned the muzzle of the machine gun toward the commander’s barracks and pulled the trigger toward the place where he could feel the presence of people.

Tukwakwakwakwak!

A destructive sound that is fundamentally different from that of a rifle. A tremendous rate of fire that makes it seem like a laser is being fired, not a live bullet.

The torn and charred barracks here and there began to be torn apart by the waves of violence, and what remained inside began to be pulverized without a trace.

“…Not only was he late for the invitation, but he went ahead and sampled it without even saying hello. Maybe it’s because I’m young. Or is it a lack of manners?”

Just one person. Except for places where it felt popular from the beginning.

old man. More precisely, he was an old soldier. An old soldier sitting on a hill of torn and dismembered corpses.

Old military uniform. A bulletproof hat that was broken and had holes in it. Half-untucked military boots and old-fashioned firearms with visible scorch marks.

Despite the deep wrinkles on his sun-tanned face, it felt somewhat taut.

Pop. Pop.

In the old man’s hands was a corpse cut diagonally. The body of the general commander here is familiar to me. The commander’s top-of-the-line shield was deployed in response to the projectile, and the old man appeared to have easily blocked the barrage of machine guns with it.

“Even if you say you’re senile, you still have bad taste, old man.”

“You should have come a long time ago when I called you that. I was so bored while waiting for you that I ended up breaking all of her toys. Uhm, as the wanderer said, I didn’t want to move, so I tried to do it roughly on purpose.”

When the commander’s shield runs out of power and goes out, the old man throws him backwards like throwing away trash.

“Wait for me… why?”

“well. Would you say it’s an old man’s curiosity? I saw you a little bit. Through the eyes of our lady. I also watched your broadcast. It was so… boiling. “I watched your video over and over again, thinking that there was a young man with rare, excellent toenails.”

“Oh my god! What viewers! You were a f*cking stalker, right? I don’t accept fan meetings like this. Especially overly immersive trash like you who equate the characters and players in the game. A character is a character, and I am Professor Park, a real human being, you crazy person.”

“Hahahaha! Do you know the saying ‘Nangjungjichu (囊中之錐)’? No, no, no. Just because you try to hide it doesn’t mean it’s hidden. Am I not a monster born from the deepest recesses of my soul? I can see it in my eyes. Wolf, alpha wolf. I can’t stand it. “I can’t wait to rip out all your claws, even your last fang!”

The old soldier stood up. A unique figure in a knife fight stance, with one hand holding the rifle slung over his shoulder and aiming, and the other hand holding the broken bayonet pulled from his thigh.

“I ate the appetizer until my stomach exploded. “I guess I can enjoy the main part soon, right?”

“What a diary in the 21st century. “At this level, I feel like it’s more than just old-fashioned, it’s rotten.”

“It is said that famous paintings increase in value as time passes. “If you think about it that way, isn’t it equally old-fashioned for you to accept this old man’s date request?”

“If I hadn’t accepted it, I would have ruined the world.”

For a moment, my vision was blurry. An old man holding a knife and a gun. For some reason, the old man looked like a four-legged animal rather than a human being. It felt like meeting a hungry tiger deep in the mountains.

“iced coffee. I miss you. Old memories. Excitement! Fear! Memories of running around the mountains and rivers on all fours and memories of living as a human soldier on two legs are all great ingredients that created my existence. “The two old souls and the newly born soul both lived in different worlds, but the law of the fittest remains the same.”

Knock, knock!

Black carapace growing across the arm in an instant and large, hook-like fingers.

Spook. Seo Geo-eok-

The old man’s body begins to swell strangely with a very satisfied smile.

The old man, who was enjoying the air filled with the scent of blood, lowered his posture even further.

“Old ho (老虎) Buru. “To gain insight into life with your claws.”

“A talking tiger. “If we put it in a zoo… we’ll make a lot of money!”

Kwasik!

Green onions!

After completing his search, the professor lunged first, and at the same time, the old man’s body flew forward like a flash.

I know that not only my arms but my entire body has changed to the same extent as a mutant, but I have not yet confirmed to what extent.

‘I know the feeling of using force. ‘With all my might… so much that I feel like my body is exploding!’

Ssssssssssssssssss!

Sugaaaaa!

Ka-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!!!

The professor’s left arm struck from above and the old man’s attack tore through the wind was met.

Tuhwaak!

Metal sounds and shocks that you can’t believe are the sounds of people colliding.

Clap-taang!

The old man easily blocked the second shot, which was fired before the shock flowing through his arm had subsided, by kicking the muzzle of the gun with his combat boots.

“Oh my… Are you not even giving me time to enjoy the afterglow for a while? “It was a blow I wanted to experience for a very long time.”

“Tsk! “When you die, I will give you five minutes at the grave.”

“Hehehehe. “Goyan… lose!”

As the professor spit out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth, the old man’s smile grew even deeper.

Wow!

The claws of the two mutants clashed once again.

‘I lose. It’ll be hard to resist this monster!’

The professor could clearly see his death approaching.
