EP.420Squad Reunion

Echo’s physical damage is severe, but he is not human. As long as his memory banks are intact, the rest of his body will be repaired in no time.

After being transported to the shelter, it was placed in the central area laboratory for disinfection and repair.

Mechanical arms move with precision to clean, loosen, tighten and join echoes.

Occasionally, there are sparks from welding and the drill moves violently, but it is not noisy. This is because the observation is made directly through a glass tube that is perfectly soundproof.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz.

The only thing that fills the room is the sound of my legs trembling.

I was really curious about the well-being of Master Solaver. If I recall Echo’s memories soon, I’ll be able to find out something.

“launching.”

“Sorry. Were you out of your mind?”

Artemis nodded to me as I stopped walking. As always, the research gown suited her well.

“Riding a bicycle is good for your health. The superstition that it brings good luck is just a myth. Feel free to shake your legs to your heart’s content.”

She points her delicate finger at my right leg.

“Don’t just shake your left leg, shake your right leg too. That way, you’ll have perfect blood circulation.”

Indeed, the doctor’s wife is different no matter what.

Hot hot hot hot~.

Artemis chuckled as he shook his legs excitedly in response to the meaning.

“cute.”

No matter how much I think about it, a 30-year-old soldier who shakes his leg noisily doesn’t seem cute.

The bean pod is truly amazing. It can cloud the judgment of even the world’s best computers.

[Plays back the record of the last half of the operation.]

The dry voice of the manual rang out as if cutting off the cringe-worthy couple’s banter.

Echo’s last memory from Tanis was broadcasted onto the large monitor in the laboratory.

It’s not much different from what we already know, because Echo and Inspiration also jumped into the warp gate not long after Alpha’s transmission.

However, Echo served as a shield until the end against the persistent interference of the infected.

“I was wondering why there was no lower body.”

After sending the inspiration away first, the infected entities snatched away Echo’s legs that remained in the back.

[Keeeeeek-!]

Even though the aftermath of the battle had already caused damage here and there, several walkers were biting, scratching, and pulling at my ankles, legs, and thighs.

The Reaper has joined the battle, adding insult to injury. It’s only a little further, but it’s actually moving further away from the warp gate.

Knock knock.

Echo was dragged away, steel grips scraping the floor making a loud noise.

My hands clenched tightly find strength in themselves, even though I already know the ending of him returning to my side.

Then, luck struck.

Kooky!

As the tug-of-war with the infected continued while the damage was already accumulating, Echo’s legs broke.

I frowned at the gruesome sight of the pelvic region being torn apart.

The recoil caused the walkers who had grabbed the bridge to fall backwards.

[Kyaaruk-!]

The Reaper laughs evilly. Has he ever killed an intelligent being before?

If a human were to be torn in half, they would scream in agony and die. It would be no different for aliens.

Echo ran away with all her might, taking advantage of the bastard’s relaxed guard as if he was trying to admire it.

I kick the ground with both arms and drag my body at a speed close to running. I land right in the warp gate!

The Reaper missed the machine soldier with his eyes wide open at his agile movements. This could be considered the price he paid for underestimating the machine soldier.

As Echo entered, the door to Earth’s transmission closed, and that was the last recorded time on Tanis.

“Anyway, the old man boarded the plane safely. I don’t know where he fell, though.”

It’s good to know there’s still hope. I turned on the communicator.

“Kids.”

[Yes! Admin!]

“Starting today, we will double the number of educational broadcasts about lost and found items, especially about inspiration.”

[Okay! I’ll give you a proper mental education!]

The kids responded vigorously.

An old man who barely made it to Earth gets treated like a monster and gets hacked? There can be no black comedy better than that.

“The echo was transmitted from the northern part of Baekdu Mountain. Since self-recovery is impossible, it seems that they wanted to be discovered by explorers.”

Artemis prints out a mountain range in the gloomy sky. This is Echo’s viewpoint, just returning to Earth.

“Why do they have to be Chinese people picking them up?”

“It seems like they were discovered very late. They were unaware of our army during the all-out war. They must have been discovered by the remnants of the rear who were fleeing in all directions after their defeat.”

“Did you intend to sell them to a suitable caravan or camp, make a profit, and then run away?”

“Maybe. They can’t come to Korea to sell directly. The moment they hear Chinese, they’ll get stares from all directions.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Are you stupid? Are there any people who would do business with them? They’ll probably pay you back with the same plunder you’ve been getting.”

There is a joke about the Chinese people’s characteristics when traveling.

People from other countries try to speak the local language when they go to a local place, but Chinese people are the only ones who speak Chinese.

The gag was that if the locals couldn’t understand, they would speak even louder in Chinese.

It must have originated from the Chinese ideology that thinks of everything as centered around themselves.

“Well, what’s good about it? Thanks to you, Echo came back to us a little sooner.”

In the meantime, machines were busy moving around, disassembling and reassembling Echo’s body.

“I will leave as much of the remaining parts as possible.”

He was a comrade who had been with me all the way to the other side of the universe. I wanted to preserve Echo’s original body as much as possible.

Artemis understood my feelings even though it required tedious work instead of the simple action of replacing the entire thing.

The torn and melted breastplate is partially reconstructed by welding. Artificial muscles are sewn onto the eaten and rotted arm.

I sat upside down on the chair and watched the scene. Alpha was standing behind me.

“You’re the only one behind me, so the other side is empty, but that’s good. If you and Echo stand on each side, it’ll be perfectly balanced, right?”

[Positive.]

Alpha answered succinctly.

Echo, who had been fully charged, was repaired while still conscious.

If it were a human, it would be like being awake while undergoing full-body surgery, but this guy is a machine.

There is no pain and no feeling of shame about one’s damaged body.

Echo wouldn’t be bored, but when I put her and her old comrades together after a long time, they chatted all day long.

[In that case, it was more effective to knock them over with a lower back kick instead of a body slam.]

[You should have used the 3-shot mode from 71 seconds into the Arachnid Nest battle. There, you were wasting a lot of ammo with rapid fire, which made you sluggish in the warp gate defense battle.]

We are re-examining every element of Operation Tanis as if we were replaying a game of chess.

As it was a long expedition, there was endless talk about it.

[The injuries sustained in the ambush battle in the grassy plains were avoidable. The damage sustained there had a lasting impact on the mission.]

[Agree. When something suspicious was noticed, the VIP guests should have been asked to fire a predictive shot with the Thunder Cannon immediately.]

VIP guest refers to Inspiration Solaver.

At first I was like, what are these guys doing? But as I listened to it, I started to like it.

I sat upside down, resting my arms on the back of the chair and resting my chin on it. Then, all of a sudden, I added something.

“For the lost tango.”

At that moment, Alpha and Echo stopped discussing.

Charlie’s body, which is placed in the museum, has already been seen.

However, there will be no trace of Tango, who was swallowed by the giant infected entity.

If it weren’t for the vaccine ampoule that guy blew up inside, we wouldn’t have been able to return to Earth.

The lab monitor that had been off turned on. Without any specific command, Echo replayed part of his memory device.

[Mission accomplished.]

“Kiyaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

A brief moment passed between the calm tango’s last words and the screaming giant infected being.

[For Tango.]

[For Tango.]

The two robot soldiers spoke.

[Administrator.]

A communication came in from Chloro.

“I’m listening.”

[The meal preparations for the caravan that returned Echo are complete.]

In terms of logistics management, control over external merchants also falls within Chloro’s domain.

Among the AI ​​assistants, she is also the one who is the most skilled at dealing with people.

Rose is too stiff, Kids is too loud, and Artemis… let’s not talk.

“I’ll be there soon. They brought such great gifts, so I must treat them well.”

[Then I will wait until you arrive.]

“No. They’re the main characters, so how could I be the main character? Everyone must have had a hard time coming from such a long way, so tell them to hurry up and eat.”

[I follow your orders.]

I watched the two robots continue their discussion for a while before leaving the lab.

The cable car takes me and flies down towards Ashling below.

A banquet hall for VIPs and the only surviving franchise from the pre-war world.

Today, the place is bustling with caravan merchants who have come a long way.

“How is the reaction?”

I asked Chloro, who was supervising the scene.

[Are you asking knowingly? There is no one in the world who walks into a buffet and doesn’t open their mouth in surprise.]

“But it’s a low-cost franchise, right?”

[People’s lives have become much cheaper. We’ve upgraded the quality of our food a lot.]

Chrollo sent me a video of the inside of the banquet hall.

[This is sushi.]

[It’s not sushi, it’s sashimi. Sushi has rice underneath.]

[Is it okay to eat raw fish?]

In the seafood corner, Mongolian merchants are talking with curious faces.

With the post-apocalyptic setting and the nomadic lifestyle, it’s a chance to eat it if not now.

[What are you worried about? The food here is probably the cleanest and safest in the world.]

Everyone rushed to join their fellow merchants in carrying shrimp sauce and fresh oysters with tongs.

I also found some pretty funny scenes.

There was a Middle Eastern merchant who looked around unnaturally.

But I kept watching and saw that after standing around for almost 30 seconds, he quietly put the pork ribs on a plate. Then he quickly put salad on top and hid it.

“I can’t resist pork ribs.”

As I was looking around, I arrived at my destination before I knew it.

“The manager is entering.”

As Chrollo, who was in charge of the reception, spoke, everyone stopped their chatter and looked at me at the entrance.

Even the people who were sitting on chairs eating stopped and stood up. It was a reverent attitude, as if they were welcoming a royal procession.

“Don’t get up and just listen comfortably.”

I gestured with both hands for him to sit down.

I wanted to be considerate and not be nervous at least during the moments of eating and drinking, but as always, it didn’t work.

“Thank you so much for the generous invitation.”

“This place is like heaven. How can I repay this favor?”

Greetings and blessings poured in from all directions, each in their own language and culture.

“God, please protect the manager.”

A Russian man made the sign of the cross with his eyes closed.

“Your prayer is admirable, but it is unnecessary. Since the goddess is already taking good care of you, there is no need to involve other gods.”

Chloro whispered next to me.

The nymphs below her nodded with proud faces, seemingly satisfied with the respect and gratitude their master received.

“But, Administrator. The one who contributed to the recovery of Echo was Jerry Sangdan, and the one who helped to find the Chinese army was Taraz Caravan. The others just joined us on the way, so why do we need to show them a favor?”

“If they eat well and leave just because they came and joined, who will their gratitude be directed at?”

“Of course, the manager.”

Chrollo tilted his head as if asking why something so obvious was being asked.

“That’s true, but there’s something called the trickle-down effect. Besides me, I’m grateful to Jerry and Taraz for creating that opportunity. That will help them in their future activities.”

“So that’s also included in the reward?”

“When you serve, you have to serve it properly. Since it’s a buffet anyway, if there aren’t many customers, the food that ends up being thrown away will just increase.”

The star of the last banquet was Artemis, who led the social gathering surrounded by the commanders’ wives.

But this time, Taraz and Jerry are surrounded by merchants and chatting away.

He had already received various rewards in the form of goods and money, and his network management had become perfect, so he was very excited.

Of course, I am the highest VIP in terms of importance, but as always, no one has the guts to talk to me first.

“Okay, ah! Do it.”

Chloro brings me my favorite foods and feeds me with a fork.

Yum!

Could it be because it was the first food I ate after finding my lost comrade? It couldn’t be more delicious.
