Crazy Talented Ex-Villain - Crazy Talented Ex-Villain chapter 81
Collapsed City (2)
Cheonan City, Road Station.
Hundreds of armored vehicles and trucks stop their wheels and cool their engines in just three hours.
As planned, they should have rushed to the Cheongju fortress without a break, but a small group of monsters occupied the Gyeongbu Expressway and the order was given to wait until safety was secured.
In response, private truck drivers sit down on the road in twos and threes and chat.
The topic of conversation was the recent increase in the amount of goods transported, and each was speculating about the reason for the increase in work.
“I am sure there is something. It doesn’t get any better than having this much baggage in my 25-year career.”
“Your brother is right. You’ve been really busy lately, haven’t you? After moving construction equipment, barriers, sand and gravel, etc., they wanted to make a city at least.”
“To you. But is it strange? What are you doing in Cheongju? Things that came into Incheon are moved down, and things that entered Busan are moved up. Did you find a gold mine?”
“What is a gold mine? To make a fuss like this, even the oil has to explode.”
“Ah, you ignorant bastard. You are really short-tempered. Since when did our country run out of oil? If sesame oil comes out, why is it oil?”
Because the destination of the punitive force was not disclosed, the drivers only talked about the intermediate stop.
In the meantime, the knight who drove the truck with the war horse listens in silence.
As I checked every aspect of the raid before departure, there were some things I noticed, but I couldn’t speak carelessly because I was tied to a contract with the government.
Thanks to this, he is given a generous allowance, but it is frustrating because he has to keep his mouth shut in everything.
Of course, the truck drivers did not leave the silent man alone.
“Do you know anything about that?”
“… You mean that?”
“There is only one more silent person. Of course it’s the same.”
“I have the same situation. Do you know where to move it? Just give money and move it.”
“I don’t think so… … . Bommae earlier, it seemed like he had a very close relationship with that manager. no?”
“Yes, what. It is not unknown.”
“Gramun-”
“There was not a word about Cheongju.”
He replied, but his face was full of signs asking him to stop asking, and just as he was about to get angry, an old man took on the role of mediator.
He held out an expensive plastic bottled water bottle and dried it.
Although what was in it was nothing more than barley tea, the conflict soon subsided as the condescending tone was added.
“Don’t be too angry. You know you can’t look good if you get entangled with the administration. After all, a young friend cares. If you get suspicious for nothing, you’ll be taken to Geumho-dong (Administrative Bureau Headquarters) and scolded.”
“… That’s right.”
“Anyway, it’s surprising that I have a lot of work to do. Originally, it only moved in the Gyeonggi-do area, but Incheon just… There are a lot of cargo ships, very.”
Other drivers also added a word to the natural topic change.
How many stars and stripes were there. This is the content of confusion about whether this is the United States or Korea, and rapidly stable prices.
“The guys who send me rotten grain don’t know why they’re doing that all of a sudden.”
“I know.”
“… What do you know?”
Then, suddenly, right next to the tires of the truck, the man who was biting into a rice ball opens his mouth with a meaningful expression.
By tilting his upper body and looking around, he made it clear that he was talking about a secret story.
“I went to Cheongju a few months ago. Rebar when going, plywood when coming. The two baths fit perfectly together, so how can you not go? I accepted it.”
“Stop talking nonsense and talk nonsense. therefore?”
“So what is it? Is there any general cargo? Usually, it moves according to the military vehicle transport schedule, so at that time, it followed suit all the time. Then, just now, I stopped and rested for a while in Cheonan… … . Well, a parrot is catching my attention.”
“Lee Yong-soo?”
“That’s right, it was Lee Yong-soo. I don’t know what it is, but it’s clear that I did something at that time.”
As a result, the men’s eyes are directed to one place at once.
On the other side of the road station, near the armored car, the person in charge and a red parrot were sitting.
“… Is it okay to talk about this at will?”
“Ah, it’s not really a secret. I knew it after hearing it from my son. Rumors are spreading all over the internet. I heard that even the dispatch area was disclosed, but they told me about a few operations led by private companies. At that time, Lee Yong-soo was right that he went to Cheongju.”
“If that’s true, shouldn’t the country give you a prize? Why are you so quiet?”
“Yankees are clamoring to take you for any price. There’s nothing good about boasting about treasure.”
“her.”
“This is a real secret… I’ve heard that Abby was also instigated by the Americans.”
“A human being worse than that beast?”
The roadside suddenly turns into a field of embankment.
As the boy’s father, he earned a lot of income by appearing on both public and online broadcasts, but the public’s eyes were never good.
“I heard you treated your daughter-in-law and your son like a dog? The more you know, the more ugly you become.”
“But they said that the fine wouldn’t come out even if I had to do it.”
“Ten million won? A bastard like that should be arrested right away. He must have received more than 1 billion in compensation for paternity.”
“I guess the law isn’t like that. They say whether or not to live in prison for habitual violations. My son said that even that would be three years at the most.”
“3 years? Not even a dog bone. Why is the HT group standing still? In times like these, you have to step in and protect them.”
However, the anger does not last long and disappears, and soon the middle-aged people’s eyes are filled with delight and willing emotions at the same time.
Lee Yong-soo was having a conversation with a girl in a habit.
“The picture is nice. You are young.”
“You look like a crusader, what is youth?”
“A love that cannot be fulfilled burns more.”
“It’s been a long time… … . Anyway, I hope this subjugation ends well. I have nothing to hope for if the game goes back to the way it is these days.”
“It will be fine. Who is leaving?”
“Well, at first glance, I saw that Kim Young was there too. There is nothing to worry about.”
And, unfortunately indeed, the expectations of civilians are easily distorted.
Even before reaching Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, a number of deaths occurred and the first link was entangled.
* * *
The long journey ends at 4:00 PM on the same day.
Read from noble mtl dot com
Most of the civilian trucks left Cheongju, and the operation unit drove an additional two hours to reach the fortress near Gumi.
After completing the initial work such as horses and various equipment, setting up an emergency convoy and operational headquarters on site, they proceeded to the temporary base.
And in the meantime, the 2nd base camp located between the Gyeongbu Expressway and the destination… It was a mess.
Evidence of an attack was everywhere, including corpses, bloodstains, and collapsed tents.
“… Didn’t you say that the initial input manpower was 180 people?”
“Yeah. No matter how far outside the barrier it is, there’s no way it would collapse so easily… … . That’s not a good sign.”
“I know yeah. what about rest? The start of the operation is tomorrow morning. We have to go eight kilometers to reach the city center, so where are we going to spend the night right now?”
Fortunately or unfortunately, unlike the disgruntled people around them, the members of B-7 remain silent.
At least the hero, Kim Young, did not express embarrassment.
Sure enough, he quickly shows off his veteran side.
“How many hours until sunset?”
“About two hours left.”
“… It’s tight. Be on alert for now, and don’t allow anyone except the investigators to approach.”
I wish I could blend in with the investigative side, but I had to stay away from the scene and stand guard.
Judging by the piercing wounds on the forehead and chest of the victims, it seems that the long-range sniper monster ‘Tortum (Level 7)’ is stuck.
Because I was not given a chance to speak, I became obliged to keep my words.
“what do you think?”
“… … .”
To make matters worse, a servant of God approaches and tries to make an unwanted friendship.
It was unusual to glance at them from the pre-meeting, and they openly showed interest from the road station.
Any other fake crusader, no.
He was more reluctant because he was not a sturdy man like a domestic paladin, but a slender girl of his age.
In a good way, he was pure, and in a bad way, he was ignorant and brave.
“I don’t know?”
“Yes.”
“Right? You know?”
“… … .”
“I thought you would know. What happened?”
Plus, it’s a bonus that I didn’t notice.
In the midst of eyes of envy and jealousy, the combat priest, who is naive from toe to head, hangs on to the horse’s tail.
To be precise, it seemed like my answer was just an intention to stretch it out anyway.
<Tell me in moderation. I’m your fan. Trying to push it away will only backfire.>
However, I don’t think the parrot’s advice was wrong, so I just spit up some solid information.
“… From the outside, it looks like it was attacked by Tortum. The forehead and heart area were pierced the size of a finger.”
“Ah, 7th grade! They can attack even from 2 kilometers away if you recognize them!”
“Yes. But when I saw that his expression was distorted… I guess I need to do some more research. It’s too much to die all at once.”
“Is it too much?”
At the moment when a cryptic look lingers on my white skin, I continue my conversation while looking around the 40 or so corpses.
Too many holes were drilled.
“Tortum has a small number of objects. The head, which resembles a muzzle, has a complicated structure and has a short lifespan. Of course, many of them have never been observed, except for large-scale waves. However, the victim is roughly… … .”
“I was over twenty!”
“… okay. Considering that it takes a long time to reload, I can say at least three or four.”
“Does that matter? It’s difficult, but it’s 7th grade.”
At this point, it’s time to stop asking, but girls my age always ask back with bright eyes.
That’s why you shouldn’t give it a chance.
“The subjugation won’t be difficult. But there will be problems in carrying out the operation. Guys don’t crowd. They will be scattered in all directions, each taking their own position and attacking. If you’re lucky, it’ll take at least two days, and if you’re unlucky, there’s a chance that you’ll die or provoke a higher-level monster in the city center.”
“… If the subjugation is prolonged, we will also be in trouble. If you ignore-”
“The city center is full of class 4 monsters and their subordinates, but it is difficult to proceed while getting hit by Tortum’s howitzer.”
As I spit out my words, I touched the dark red slime with my toe.
contaminated land.
In peacetime, it would stop at making animals and crops useless, but it would serve as a sort of radar for level 3 monsters.
yes.
This, in effect, meant that Venetus had noticed the existence of the raid.
“Then what do you do? No way? Are you going back like this?”
“… … .”
“Are you not going to answer me?”
“… If it were me, I would go in at night.”
“Yes?”
“The sniper ability loses its power in the dark. It hit and run fast.”
And in fact, Kim Young, the chief officer of the punitive force, also made the same choice.
It is an intention to end Venetus’ life on the same day.
