EP.424 Mercury Survivalism

Surnames are the culmination of survival know-how accumulated throughout human history.

The ultimate invention to ensure safety from wild beasts and hostile tribes.

It is a relic that has disappeared into the back alleys of history with the development of cannons, but it is very effective in protecting the community from infected and looters.

European castles, which evolved through repeated wars, are returning to active service after hundreds of years of retirement.

Survivors flocked to the old castle, which was treated as a tourist attraction.

Long ago, men and women with rifles and crossbows climbed the castle walls where soldiers patrolled with spears and bows.

Instead of wearing armor and helmets, they carried telescopes and radios, which allowed them to see and hear from farther away.

At first, people just tried to hide behind sturdy-looking boulders while running away.

But living in the castle was much better than I expected.

First of all, defense against fellow humans has become easier than in the Middle Ages.

No matter how much the walls are obsolete due to modern weapons, they can easily withstand the personal firearms used by the majority of raiders.

Because it was built of stone, it was also more resistant to arson attacks than modern buildings.

The real enemies are not human beings, but imaginary monsters that medieval guards had no need to worry about.

You never know when a more horrifying infection than a vampire, a werewolf, or a troll might strike.

* * *

A drone carrier sailing west and west discovered something interesting.

In a castle in Switzerland, infected beings wage a siege against the survivors within.

No, it would be more correct to call it Mercury War on the side of fellow humans.

“I think this is the first time I’ve seen a proper water castle.”

“Well, the Korean peninsula where we have been active for a long time is not a very holy place.”

There were survivors in Korea who set up camp in some castles that resembled ruins. Due to the nature of castles on the Korean Peninsula, their defenses were weak, so they were unable to hold out and either escaped or died.

The total number of infected attacking the castle is counted.

“96 of them are flocking together. This is Europe after all.”

Vaccines circulate along the Earth’s air currents.

Because of the difficulty and cost of manufacturing, it cannot be sprayed indiscriminately, so it is sprayed first on the most important Korean Peninsula.

South Korea, Japan and eastern Russia will benefit the most, while Europe will be less affected.

Most of the infected colonies have disappeared from the surrounding areas, especially the Korean Peninsula. Even if they are created temporarily, they disappear like a limited lifespan.

On the other hand, there are still many places in Europe where activity is very active.

“If Switzerland is like this, France must be even worse.”

“To borrow your expression, it’s a honey land. And it’s the most famous one in Europe.”

A honey land is a place with a good climate and lots of plains, which is perfect for getting fucked by infected.

Information already obtained indirectly was telling the same result.

Tata Tang!

One Ripper attempting to climb the wall was shot down by a rifle bullet fired from a watchtower.

Due to their agile movements and a certain level of intelligence, they are a top priority for elimination.

The shooter is wearing a military uniform and holding a military assault rifle. He appears to be a deserter or a survivor of a decimated unit.

Sharpshooters with good weapons were stationed at each watchtower to identify and eliminate any threatening mutants.

The other defending forces are using primitive weapons to conserve precious bullets.

[Keeeeeek!]

Dozens of walkers screaming and thrashing under the walls.

The outstretched hands of those doubled-up creatures scream towards the sky. It’s the kind of beggarly sight you always see when dealing with multiple walkers from high places.

Kooky!

One guy was shouting “Hurray!” towards the top of the wall when a woman threw a rock at him and broke his forehead.

The horse is as big as a rugby ball. No matter how poisonous the walker is, if it hits the head, it will be fatal in one shot.

[Hahahaha! How does it taste? You grilled bastards!]

[Don’t just throw them around! They might not be all there are!]

[Oh, don’t worry. I’m not stupid.]

The roaring woman gave her thumbs up as if to tell her not to worry about her grandmother’s scolding.

The walls were manned by a considerable number of garrison soldiers, many of whom were women. Often, young men with young faces were also seen.

Child soldiers are a thing that has disappeared from the Korean Peninsula since the vaccination campaign.

“That’s too bad.”

“The infected don’t discriminate between adults and children. In poor places, it’s not just about the infected.”

Men with excellent marksmanship appear to have been assigned to manning watchtowers and gatehouses, or to other dangerous duties.

“There are too few men for the size of the place.”

“I can’t get back from outside. This is a radio interception I made while you were sleeping.”

An icon shaped like a walkie-talkie signal appeared on the screen and the recorded communication log was played.

-Headquarters. This is Bruno’s food team. Code red! I repeat, code red!

-How much time is left?

-I don’t know if it has a specific direction. Its path is irregular and up and down.

-Understood. You guys stay in the shelter until we hear back from you via radio.

-Good luck.

-You guys. Don’t try to lure me out unnecessarily. Just stay hidden.

-We’re not like we’re kids…

The call ended with a faint smile.

“The fighting broke out seven hours after that communication.”

“Does a Code Red mean that there are threatening infected entities near the camp?”

“It means that the possibility of an encounter is not low. There may be variations depending on the region or camp, as the terminology is different.”

The reason there was a shortage of adult men was because they had been sent out to search for food and supplies outside and were unable to return.

“But it’s still pretty well blocked? I guess the search team must have brought a lot of good weapons.”

“Because we’re fighting a water battle against infected beings. I don’t know about mutants, but for regular walkers, it’s impregnable.”

“Well, they’re not going to use a ladder.”

The location of the castle is just as good as the Lucky Shelter we saw last time.

Basically, it is a highland, and the right side of the castle is blocked by a flowing river. The rear and left sides are steep, like small cliffs.

Therefore, the area where the infection can enter is limited to the front, so it is an enormous defensive power.

Walkers are trying to climb the wall without any plan, but there’s no way that’ll work.

Because it had been left unattended for a long time, moss grew everywhere, making it slippery, and I had to keep climbing up and down about 2 meters.

As this is repeated, the lower part of the wall is already decorated with missing nails here and there.

Moreover, medieval siege troops at least made an effort to cover their heads with shields.

[Kkieek-!]

But the walkers made eye contact with the guards with their bare faces, saying, “Please kill me.” Rocks rained down on their faces.

Crunch!

thud!

Walkers fall, their noses broken and their teeth knocked out.

You don’t need any special throwing skills. Just place it in a suitable position.

Phew!

The guy who was hit by the falling rock spun around twice before falling to the side.

The eyeball rolled out of the sunken face. The man convulsed for a moment, then struggled to get up, and the eyeball that had been hanging on the optic nerve finally fell out.

[Power on standby!]

[atmosphere!]

[Wait!]

At the grandmother’s command, the women, girls, boys and girls repeated.

Even if you have no military experience, you need to learn a well-organized chain of command to survive in this day and age.

[Wait until the next wave.]

Since you have a limited amount of stones to stockpile, it is important to be able to one-shot and kill effectively.

Therefore, the best method is to wait until several walkers are attached to the wall, and then take them down one by one.

But the heat of battle, once ignited, clouds a person’s judgment.

Those hideous monsters are dying helplessly from the rocks they threw? They are massacring everyone without any damage? It’s easy to get distracted by the excitement of victory.

It becomes difficult to wait for the optimal timing. If you throw a stone while it is still walking, it will often end up being wasted.

It’s the job of a veteran survivor to control these things.

bang!

Meanwhile, the men on guard at the watchtower continued to kill the threatening mutants.

[There’s another one over there! It’s yuck yuck!]

[How many times do I have to teach you to say direction before you understand?!]

A crack! came from the other end of the wiretapping device. Was it a slap in the face?

[Sorry, sorry. So 3 o’clock, 3 o’clock! Towards the old Bilson’s store!]

It’s a sniper and a gunner type setup. There are a lot of teams with a boy holding a telescope and looking for mutants and an adult shooting a gun.

“Whoa, Whoa?”

My doubts were soon answered.

bang!

The gun moves to where the boy’s finger is pointing and then fires. The drone carrier’s camera tracks that direction.

Soon we could find the dissolver pouring out a disgusting yellow liquid from its abdomen.

[Gulp!]

His pelvis and legs melt in the acid he has poured, his internal organs spill out, and his upper body falls off.

As he struggled, his arms melted away and his ribs were exposed on his chest. As the poison consumed his heart, he stopped moving.

“I’ll stop it without much difficulty. Just look at that pile of stones.”

The old lady in the guard said that we should conserve the stones, but it seems to me that we can just use them as is. There were at least 300 of them piled up.

“Not yet.”

As Artemis spoke, the camera zoomed in to reveal a wider view of the battlefield. A Juggernaut could be seen running in the distance.

“Yeah, if you think things will work out well, you come out and strike the trigger.”

Now, he’s a monster with a big head that looks cute. I guess I shouldn’t say that when I think about the people who are risking their lives to defend him.

[Ku …

[What was to come has come.]

Beep!

Immediately, horns blew throughout the castle.

You can see that the men who had been calmly defending are becoming very tense. The men on guard at the watchtower are exchanging loud radio messages and are preparing to concentrate their firepower in one place.

“shit.”

If it’s not some other guy, but Juggernaut, then there will definitely be damage. As a fellow human being, I wanted to help, but there’s no way.

This is because all of the firepower already mounted on it was exhausted in the process of getting here. There was nothing left except for reconnaissance capabilities.

All I can do is watch and cheer.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The Juggernaut charged into the gate in a gorilla-like stance.

[Standby team! We’re about to enter the gate!]

[I know. If he shows up, the whole neighborhood will know about him.]

An urgent radio transmission from Mercury was intercepted.

thud!

The iron gate that had been lowered in a lattice shape immediately caved in, but was able to block a single assault.

This isn’t strange, as it’s a structure built to accommodate powerful charges, even if it doesn’t quite match the destructive power of a Juggernaut.

Was it because his pride was hurt that he always destroys everything he sees, whether it be a car or a bus? He turned back about 20 meters and then charged forward with great force again.

Bam!

The second time, the gate was broken.

But this is a solidly built European fortress. There is a second gate behind the gate.

[Kuwar-?]

For a moment, the Juggernaut was trapped in a narrow passage.

Meanwhile, in the murder hole above the bastard’s head, men were waiting, ready to attack.

Hundreds of years ago, they would have poured hot oil over the heads of intruders.

But since Juggernaut wouldn’t die from something like that, I prepared something more certain.

The radio voices could be heard: the pins of grenades being pulled and the fuses of dynamite being set alight.

[One, Two, Three…]

[Fire!]

They would have rolled down through the killing hole onto the Juggernaut’s head.

Bam!!!

No matter how much of a monster it is, it can’t withstand an explosive exploding right next to it.

The Juggernaut was not dead, but was in a moribund state, with its bones and internal organs exposed. Its thick limbs were twitching and unable to even get up.

“This is it!”

Clap clap clap!

As I watched, I cheered and applauded. I was so happy that the victory of the survivors on the other side of the world, whom I had never met before, was my own victory.

Because with his death, there were no more dangerous mutants left. All that was left were the walkers.

I told the drone carrier to stop further reconnaissance and watch the place for another day or so.

As there had been a major fight, it was to warn of any additional threats that might approach in the dark of dawn.

But when I turned on the screen the next morning after the situation meeting, the crisis was over.

“Wow, that’s amazing. Is this the power of survivors in a constant state of emergency?”

The survivors have already cleared the Juggernaut and made emergency repairs to at least partially repair the primary gate.

In addition, he is calmly casting his fishing rod into the river. Of course, he has not yet gone outside the castle, perhaps because he still thinks it is dangerous.

They created an aerial fishing spot by attaching a cable car ripped from somewhere to a crane vehicle parked inside.

[It’s a moonfish!]

A man who caught a fairly large fish stamped his feet in joy.

[Hey, stop shaking! A little!]

The woman riding with him nags him.

They were safely fishing, jutting out from the walls into the river.

I am amazed at their endurance. The terrain, the base, the guts, the wisdom. It must have been all a combination that allowed them to last for six years.

Soon, men in camouflage uniforms were seen returning to the castle carrying the supplies they had secured.

The women and the boys and girls who were fighting bravely on the walls run to them and embrace them.

Except for the unique element of the castle, this was no different from our country. The way people live is similar wherever you go.
