Episode 129. Collapse (9)

I had some idea that things wouldn’t go as planned. This city wasn’t that easy, and there were so many people who were jealous of my success.

It wasn’t that they weren’t prepared. Many companies that didn’t participate in the event were closely monitored, and mercenaries and gangsters were also under control.

Unbeknownst to the citizens attending the event, surveillance devices using high-tech equipment were being used.

Before I came to the podium, numerous conspiracies had been discovered and prevented.

I thought I had blocked everything, but I was wrong.

“You should avoid it. There is a good chance that it is a diversionary tactic.”

“No, I’ll stay here. Evacuate the citizens first, and deal with the shooter first.”

I came down from the stage, but it would have been too risky for me to avoid this place altogether.

There are still citizens who are watching me. If I leave this place, there is a possibility that this terror attack will be perceived as ‘Hansan’s defeat’.

The tablet that Sansuhwa took out contained a vivid image of a man wearing a visor killing people indiscriminately.

“What is the available power?”

“I’m sorry. Hansan’s power is scattered throughout the city… so it might be difficult to gather people right away.”

“No, it was my order. You don’t have to blame yourself.”

There were too many places to guard.

It’s not that I didn’t think there would be any commotion inside the event, but I figured it would be focused on a low-risk bombing at best.

If I were a company that was hostile to Hansan and the only forces I could immediately deploy were small mercenaries or gangs, I would have expected them to target the outskirts of the city rather than the event.

The risk is low, and the return is certain. It was a way for people to accuse me of ‘Han San-woo brought in police forces while he was holding a show event, and this terrible crime was committed because of the security vacuum!’

And that actually happened. Many of Hansan’s combat units, including the Doris Mercenaries, were still working with the police and engaging in gun battles all over the city.

But that wasn’t the end of it. The real one was that man.

“Where on earth did that guy come from…….”

It’s overwhelming. It’s so strong that it’s hard to believe he’s fighting alone.

“Tell the police and soldiers on the scene not to worry about collateral damage.”

“……Are you serious?”

“I take responsibility.”

I could feel it instinctively.

There is a lot of damage and mistakes that can be undone in the process of killing that man, but if you let him go here, there is no way to undo that mistake.

I clenched my teeth and glared at the visored man as if I was going to kill him.

One human being was ruining everything I had achieved.

From the huge gun held in the hand of the man wearing a visor, a beam of light so large that it brightened the night emitted.

In front of such weapons, helicopters were no better than targets suspended in the air.

The helicopter descended, landing on those who had not yet evacuated. A loud explosion and the smell of bursting fire spread.

“Ha…… This is interesting.”

A moderate amount of combat can be a life-saving boost, but killing similar-feeling enemies endlessly in the same space is more like labor than entertainment.

From that perspective, this fight brought no small amount of satisfaction to the stranger.

“Are these new guys? This house course is good. Is that why they call it Stella City, Stella City?”

Killing police officers was boring. I thought it would be more fun to kill a few of them after leaving them alive and having a conversation with them for a while rather than just shooting them.

If we just met, got shot, and died, that would be no different from a target in a shooting range.

The police would have said only curses like, “You’re going to kill me…”, but if they hadn’t heard even that much, they probably wouldn’t have realized that he was doing something huge, that he was killing people.

“The encirclement has been formed! Take cover and fire! When you make eye contact with the bastard, immediately lower your head!”

“The pattern is quite diverse.”

There were still quite a few civilians on the road, but only armed troops remained around the stranger.

They slowly began to close in on him, using the steel robots they had prepared as cover.

“It’s thrilling…….”

Destroying the robot itself wasn’t a difficult task, but it required appropriate preparation.

You would have to blow up the robot itself with a decent bomb, or use large-caliber bullets, laser beams, or EMP weapons.

The Stranger was certainly powerful, but pressing the trigger harder doesn’t make the bullets go out twice as fast.

The ‘special weapons’ he could use were limited, and even those he used did not guarantee that they would be able to deal with the robots reliably.

Some robots seemed to be resistant to lasers, some to massive impacts.

After shooting it a few times, I was able to understand the robot’s characteristics, but it wasn’t enough to just mindlessly fire bullets.

The stranger spat his stinking saliva onto the asphalt, then switched his gun again and took out the robots and corporate soldiers surrounding him.

Unlike the stranger who thought, ‘It’s a little bit troublesome,’ the private soldiers of the company dealing with him had a hard time suppressing their feelings of being crazy.

“Hey, is that guy a hologram or something? How can there be so many bullets-.”

“It’s right! It’s right… but it’s not even moving!”

The stranger’s movements were certainly impressive, but he could not dodge all the bullets raining down on this open road.

But the bullet that hit his body fell powerlessly to the ground. The stranger moved as if nothing had happened.

“What about the light weapon?”

“It keeps going wrong!”

No matter how much technology developed, the human body could not be fast enough to ‘avoid light’.

“Is there a distortion device inside? No, you crammed that into that small body?”

“But keep shooting. The light distortion device is an energy-eating monster, so you won’t be able to keep dodging it!”

“Letting the agents hold out here… might be better off getting out now! And the other companies’ suppression agents-.”

“Hey, just hold on for now!”

There were quite a few private soldiers from the companies that participated in the event. However, they were only participants in the event, not gathered for battle.

Few people moved around with their implants in a ‘fight-ready’ state. Few people were mentally prepared, and few carried the weapons they normally used.

They were powerful enough to deal with a few dozen gangsters ‘at will’, but they could not deploy their power in an unprepared situation.

Moreover, in such an urgent situation, the absence of a chain of command could not help but be painfully felt. Cowards were already emerging.

For smaller companies, the privates deployed for this event were often the only armed forces the company had. They did not want to take a gamble and gain Hansan’s trust.

“What are those guys doing behind you! Don’t just watch and get out quickly!”

As with everyone else, their own lives were more precious than anything else.

“Somehow-.”

At that moment, a huge explosion rang out.

A bomb flying at a speed too fast to be seen was dropped into the space where the man wearing a visor was standing.

“What, what is it? Some crazy guy-.”

“These are the orders from President Hansanwoo! Don’t worry about collateral damage and pour out all your firepower without sparing any effort.”

“Damn, okay! That’s better!”

But that was the last time.

“Yeah, I like that too.”

“Ugh, ugh…….”

In an instant, a man wearing a visor ran forward and cut off the man’s head with a katana.

“Oh, how did it happen so quickly!”

The surrounding soldiers all activated their physical acceleration devices.

But it was still slow.

“Uh, how-.”

It wasn’t that the implants weren’t working. Everything in the world was slow. Sound, bullets, even the air.

But the man with the visor moved faster than that. The moment the people surrounding him fired their bullets, the katana was already cutting off their necks.

“I didn’t know you would do something like this. I guess we need to get closer.”

The man with the visor praised his enemy and continued to swing his sword.

Even after the body accelerator was turned off, there was no one who could catch him.

While it could accelerate cognitive abilities and make the body faster, the weapon couldn’t change the speed of bullets.

He was able to dodge bullets and cut people without difficulty, even at a speed that seemed incredibly slow for someone using a body accelerator.

“Hey, robots!”

The machine guns mounted on the giant robot’s hands poured out a merciless stream of bullets at the man wearing the visor.

But the bullet never made contact. The man wearing the visor dodged the bullet without a hitch, and the chaos began again.

“Ah, aaaahhhhhh!!!”

“Why, why are you shooting this way!”

The safety devices for friendly fire had long since been disengaged as the fighting intensified.

The city was filled with people, both friendly and civilian, and if the ‘safety device’ was maintained, it would have been impossible to even shoot.

But the moment the enemy entered their midst, the robots’ machine guns paid no attention to the soldiers and police who were using them as cover.

“You’re not joking, what is it?”

The stranger, who had already put away his katana, smiled nonchalantly.

A private army of corporations, each wearing a different implant, some pretty interesting looking robots, and even an orderly response procedure.

Stella City was a satisfying place. It was a place where there was no room for boredom, with exciting and unique prey everywhere.

“I had fun…… I guess it’s time to go back now.”

The asphalt, covered in blood and machine debris, was the perfect stage to demonstrate his strength.
