EP.378 Aftercare (5)

There is a big difference between human injuries and machine injuries.

When one part of the body is damaged due to factors such as pain and condition, all parts of the body such as mobility, strength, and judgment decline.

In movies, it’s possible for warriors to fight well even after being stabbed in the stomach because it’s a movie.

On the other hand, in the case of machines, damage to a specific part has little effect on other parts.

Actions that require the entire body, such as running or throwing, naturally become unstable, but fighting, such as brute force or pounding, can do its part.

Alpha, who rolled in one piece with Tanissan Walker, was faster in attacking even though he lost his mount position.

Phew!

The steel index and middle fingers dig into Walker’s eyes like awls.

Walker stopped due to sudden loss of vision and the signals sent chaotically by the brain nerves, even though he did not feel pain.

In those few seconds, Alpha pushed the bastard away several meters.

The primary goal was to buy time, so there was no reason to waste time on an entity that had lost its sight and its ability to fight.

Alpha, Charlie, and Echo.

The stalkers, running low on ammo, entered a CQB combat stance.

Charlie crouched down like a frog, surrounded by three walkers.

The movement was so quick that the walkers felt as if Charlie had disappeared for a moment.

Of course, it only took a moment for me to realize that it was right below me, but that was enough.

Charlie’s arms, dual-wielding military bayonets, rotate 180 degrees.

Crunch!

As the blades passed in opposite directions, forming a Taegeuk pattern, three walkers fell with their ankles cut off.

Only one ankle was cleanly amputated, but the other five had exposed bones and damaged tendons.

thud!

Kudang!

Charlie grabbed his twin swords in return before the three walkers on the ground could get up.

And then he stabs them in the forehead and nose.

The military sword used by the stalker is too big to be called a dagger, given the robot’s strength and size.

It was slightly smaller than the gladius used by the Roman army.

So, if you hit a vital spot like the head or heart, you can kill a walker in one shot.

“Craik-!”

The remaining one crawled towards him and tried to attack, but Charlie was still a beat faster.

Kwajik!

Two military bayonets pulled from the corpse were thrust into Walker’s temples on either side as he crawled towards him.

Walker’s eyes start to dart around like a squint, then stop, as if the blade has hit the wrong nerve in his brain.

Meanwhile, Echo was fighting a mutant equivalent of Earth’s Reaper.

A bluish claw reminiscent of a lion’s claw flies in, aiming for Echo.

Kang!

The military sword in Echo’s left hand struck it away.

Then he used the recoil to blast the other nail away.

Kang!

Echo responded with the blade in his other hand.

“Kururur-!”

The Ripper growled ferociously.

When the infection spread to Tanis, anyone who got caught would have been easily torn to pieces.

The steel soldier in front of you looks annoying as he can hold out for two rounds.

The Ripper rotated his upper body greatly and swung his hands using the centrifugal force.

The intention is to finish it off with one blow, with enough power to break through the blade’s defenses.

[Pattern and orbit analysis completed.]

However, Echo is a warrior who has mastered swordsmanship that has been developed over thousands of years since the time when mankind fought wars using cold weapons.

It wasn’t difficult to analyze the Reaper’s attack methods, gaze handling, and body movements.

Pashuk!

This time, instead of the sound of blades clashing with nails, there was a crunching sound.

It is a technique that captures the essence of the flowing swordsmanship and receives the Ripper’s claws at an angle.

It didn’t end there, the blade ran up the bastard’s fingernail and sliced ​​off the top of his finger.

“Kuaaaahhhh-!”

As expected of a superior variant, it cries out in pain from its developed nerves.

But while he was doing such useless things, Echo dug into the bastard’s arms.

Boooow!

He swung his other good hand horizontally, but Echo’s body, which was rushing at him, was so low that it seemed as if it was touching the ground.

A lunge closer to a forward dive than a run!

However, the body is firmly supported by the tips of the two feet. In human terms, it is like supporting a body that is tilted very much with only the toes.

Both arms, which had been crossed in an X shape, were spread out to the left and right on the ground.

Crunch!

Two cleanly cut off ankles.

The hideous, large feet still touched the ground, showing a cross-section of the ankle bones.

“Klararara… Whew!”

The screams ceased before the crippled Ripper could even fall to the ground.

Because the blade dug into his chin and tore through his brain.

Charlie and Echo.

They fought thoroughly pragmatically.

Overwhelming sense of balance and physical ability, and a longer reach than the infected thanks to the sword.

Take advantage of these advantages to the limit.

A surprise attack on the normally unguarded ankles and shins to upset the opponent’s balance and then strike the vital area.

It’s a seemingly simple yet effective tactic.

Of course, he didn’t get down every time and cut his shin with a knife.

Kwajik!

The walker approaching Solaver collapsed.

Because Charlie ran over and kicked the guy’s knee as if he was trampling on it.

A military bayonet is stuck in the side of the guy who collapses with his knees shattered.

As the blade that had pierced his heart was pulled out, blood gushed out and Walker died.

thud!

A short distance away, Echo was pulling a knife out of another walker’s armpit.

On Earth, you don’t have to aim for the side or armpit; you can just stab the left chest. Then, the heart will rupture and you will die instantly.

But this is the alien planet Tanis.

“Kueeeeek-!”

There are more than one or two types of rushing walkers.

Because the liberation of hands was important in the evolution process into a higher intelligent species, most of them walked on two legs.

So, although their shape is similar to that of humans, there is no guarantee that their hearts will be on the left side.

To kill with one blow, it was more effective to aim for the side of the torso rather than the chest.

When attacking, everyone has an opening, but the opponents are monsters that rush in without regard for death.

If you don’t deal a critical hit in one hit, the stalker is at risk of counterattack.

“The transmission is almost finished! Just hold on a little longer!”

Kiing!

Kiing!

Kiing!

The three robots beeped in response to Solaver’s shout.

When the number of infected corpses lying around the warp device reached double digits, something strange happened.

Crunch!

The moment he cut off the eighth walker’s windpipe, the military bayonet in Charlie’s left hand broke.

This is because it was originally only an auxiliary weapon. It was not a weapon designed to cut down 10 monsters.

Charlie stabbed the half-broken knife into the eye of the Walker who was rushing at him from the side.

“Keeeeeek-!”

Walker continued to charge, his eye sockets leaking blood and juice. The broken blade was not long enough to reach the creature’s brain.

Wood crack!

However, when the blade stuck in his eye spun around three times, his brain nerves were shocked and he died.

Unlike a human’s wrist, which can only be turned 90 degrees at best, the Stalker’s wrist could rotate without restriction.

Tangling!

Charlie, who had thrown away his useless sword, threw away his only remaining military bayonet.

He caught it in reverse and threw it like a javelin, and it flew straight and pierced the neck of Walker who was attacking Solaver.

“Kurururuk-!”

The guy who was trying to walk away while foaming at the mouth was caught from behind by Alpha.

Walker’s cervical spine snapped as he grabbed his face with one hand and the handle of his sword with the other and twisted it.

Phew!

But Alpha also fell to one knee, his face hit by another Walker’s grip.

Unlike the human-based Earth Walkers, the Walkers here are much more threatening due to the aliens’ superior physical abilities.

Walker grabbed the kneeling Alpha by the neck as if he was going to tear it out.

His neck snapped in an instant, but the solid armor plate prevented a fatal wound.

Alpha grabbed Walker’s pinky finger with a force that threatened to tear it off.

The neck was released with the sound of breaking finger bones, but the relationship between the kneeling one and the standing one was still the same.

The former is overwhelmingly at a disadvantage.

Walker counterattacked as he raised both hands as if he was going to crush Alpha’s head.

The Stalker’s built-in CQB combat system ordered it to change positions, as it could not inflict significant lethal damage in this situation.

Alpha’s capital attack, with its blade raised, struck behind Walker’s knee.

It was a weak restraint that couldn’t cause any damage, but it was enough to break the posture of a bipedal creature due to its physical structure.

Then, the rising blade cuts off Walker’s neck.

Another walker rushes in behind the corpse that falls backwards, blood gushing out.

Alpha stood up and looked like he was going to fight, but then suddenly changed his stance.

He charges at Walker with his center of gravity on the ground like a sumo wrestler and slams his body into his knees and stomach.

Then, the bastard spun around in the air with the same momentum he had been running at and fell to the ground behind Alpha.

Alpha’s foot slammed into Walker’s chest as he struggled to get up.

Kkwadduk!

After the horrifying sound of all his ribs shattering, Walker did not get up.

“You guys are so persistent!”

Solaver shouted as he looked at the warp gate.

The eyeballs buried in there continued to struggle until the very end, even as they melted in the vaccine.

-You can’t go… home…

The alien corpse lying near the warp gate said, “It’s being controlled by the eye infection.”

“I don’t have to go! But you have to send that guy home!”

Solaver shouted.

-I can’t go… absolutely not…

Mutants are increasing as the infectious agents attack.

Echo grabbed a nearby walker corpse as soon as he saw what looked like a Dissolver.

Cheeeeek!

As the corpse blocks the yellow liquid spit out by the mutant, flesh burns and bones melt.

“Gyarrrrrung-!”

The distinctive sound of pressure being applied to expel acid.

As soon as he heard that, Echo threw his military sword.

Broken blades here and there dig into the bastard’s abdomen, creating a piercing sound.

Boom! With a sound, the compressed gas and corrosive fluid pockets exploded, and the bastard melted into blood.

“Now we just need to do the finishing touches!”

Solaver, who operates the warp device, looks quite relaxed.

This is because the eye infection was driven to the brink of extinction by the vaccine.

The hand movements used to operate the device were smoother than before, perhaps due to reduced interference with coordinate input.

But now even stalkers are at their limit.

Charlie, who was fighting three walkers with his bare hands, was quickly covered in wounds when the Ripper joined in.

But then Charlie’s foot hit a large, solid-looking bone.

It looked like a femur, but it had a weight and sturdiness greater than a baseball bat, giving it the appearance of being from some species.

Charlie, who had caught it with his foot, swung the bone club in the stance of the fourth batter.

Boohoo!

A cutting edge that is incomparable to that of a military bayonet.

Paaaaak!

Walker’s head was shattered by the blow and fell to the ground.

The guy running from the right got hit in the cheek and fell about 5 meters.

The third walker to come running was hit from under the chin, causing his body to spin backwards half a turn and fall face first to the ground.

But thanks to the three corpses, the Ripper was able to take advantage of the opening.

Crunch!

A fist as big as a pot lid and nails stronger than a lion’s claws struck Charlie in the face.

Charlie was so shocked that he stopped moving for about a second.

“Keeeeeek-!”

I tried to fight back somehow, but was caught by new walkers that appeared from behind.

A shadow falls over Charlie’s face as he is bitten and scratched.

The Ripper snatched a large bone club and held it high in the air with both hands.

bang!

Sparks fly across Charlie’s half-crushed face.

bang!

Charlie’s electronic eyes fell out and his jaw was broken.

After that, Charlie’s figure was no longer visible as he was obscured by the ever-increasing number of walkers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All I can hear is the sound of something breaking.

Kiiing!

At that moment, a loud resonance sound erupted from the warp device. At the same time, Solaver’s ecstatic laughter was heard.

After the first transmission, a brilliant white sphere appeared again within the warp gate.

“All right! We did it! Your master has arrived at Earth’s coordinates! He’s still trapped in the space-time rift, but we just need to connect him to the exit on Earth’s side! You guys, hurry up and get inside that sphere!”

[Solaber. We have been ordered to serve you as well.]

Alpha said.

“I want to, but that guy is getting in the way to this point.”

Black liquid flowed out from the warp device pointed at by Solaver’s finger.

The eyes float like rotten bird eggs in a solid substance like red bean porridge.

Even in the midst of all that, he rolled his blurry eyes and glared at me with hatred. It was an absurd obsession and malice.

“There’s no time! Go quickly! The coordinator has to go in last anyway!”

Solaver finished off Charlie and looked at the Reapers and Walkers looking this way.

The machine soldiers’ judgment was quick.

Hesitating here now is the height of unnecessary behavior.

Alpha jumped in first.

But the direction he was headed was not the warp gate, but in the opposite direction.

“No, what are you doing…”

Before Solaver could finish speaking, Alpha picked up one of the skulls that was rolling around and threw it at the Reaper.

The Reaper slaps Alpha away with his hand as if it’s funny, then chases after Alpha to punish him.

The walkers followed suit. Was it a coincidence or an instinct to follow the mutants?

Taking advantage of that brief moment, Echo ran as if she was going to fly and picked up Charlie, who had stopped functioning, and ran.

As I got close enough to the warp gate, I spun Charlie around like I was doing a giant swing and threw him.

Swish.

Charlie, who flew like a goblin, is swallowed by a white sphere.

Echo changed course as it was. He threw his last remaining military sword at the back of Reaper’s neck as he chased Alpha.

“Kryaryarak-!”

Unfortunately, the blade missed his neck and lodged itself in his back.

However, Alpha, who was caught and on the verge of being smashed to pieces by a bone club, narrowly escaped with his life.

The Ripper, who had turned around, howled in pain and had a grim expression, tried to pull out the sword stuck in his back.

“Kyaoooo-!”

But it was in a location that was exquisitely out of reach.

Alpha escaped the pursuit while making a somewhat comical appearance.

Although his movement speed was slow due to his limping, the walkers that followed him were knocked out by Echo’s punches and kicks.

Men Echo, carrying Alpha in a fire brigade-style transport, ran at full speed towards the warp gate.

After that, swarms of infected creatures rush in.

It’s impossible to fight or fight anymore. The moment we collide, we’ll be swallowed up like a human being in front of a tsunami.

Reaper realized too late that his prey was escaping and chased after it with a scream, but it was already too late.

Echo, who had thrown even Alpha into the sphere, stood next to Solaver, holding two bones nearby.

It’s not as heavy as the one Charlie used, but it’s better than bare-handed combat.

[Questions and answers are useless.]

Echo cut off Solaver’s words.

[Dead or alive, I am with you.]

Swish.

And Alpha’s vision, swallowed by the sphere, was filled with white flashes.

The record ends here.

* * *

“So that’s what happened.”

He said this while tapping his hands together in a triangle in front of his eyes.

“This is what happened.”

Artemis, who was a little further away, stared at me as I muttered the same thing.

“That Solaver guy said, ‘I’m still trapped in the rift between space and time.’”

She said, crossing her arms.

“He also said, ‘Just connect it to the exit on the Earth side and we’re done.’”

She nodded at my answer.

“There must have been something wrong with the exit connection. That’s why I wandered through the dimensional rift for three years before being discovered by slavers. So then I guess…”

“Stop. I’ll stop here.”

I could naturally imagine what would come out next.

“Just because you don’t hear something you don’t want to hear doesn’t mean the truth will change, right?”

“If it ain’t confirmed, it ain’t true.”

“Then let’s call it a hypothesis.”

“I don’t like that as it is.”

“after…”

Artemis said nothing more, but her implications were clear.

The final finishing touches on the remaining Solaver and Echo were not done properly.

That means they might not have escaped.

If they had succeeded, there would have been no reason for me to be stuck in a space-time rift for three years and then end up in a completely random place.

[Can I ask you one thing?]

Alpha, who was quietly being serviced, asked.

“Ask me anything.”

[Are you and I the only ones who have arrived?]

“…”

I couldn’t answer Alpha’s question right away.

Alpha was slightly surprised that he asked the question himself, greatly surprised by the content of the question, and unable to open his mouth to answer what he was supposed to say.
