Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 418



Only Noblemtl

Episode 418 168. Possibility (3)

The reason our Hunters are treated one level higher than other soldiers, even though they are essentially ordinary humans, is because we are elite.

It could be said that it is the ultimate form that was improved through trial and error to fight against the enemies of mankind called monsters.

Before the war, monsters were still enemies that only a limited number of people could encounter, but after the war, almost everyone was directly faced with the threat of monsters.

In their own places, on the battlefields and in their own homes, people came up with and improved their own countermeasures against monsters.

Among them, there were a few who graduated from the school, and there were probably hunters and soldiers who were just as good as the school graduates.

In any group, those who excel are welcomed and they soon generously share their know-how with the group.

“As expected from Emgu’s news. Why are there so many medium-sized papers?”

“The poop gun is fully dissipated. Where should I start hitting?”

“There are a lot of zombies and bugs here. I think we’ll need a flamethrower.”

“Where should I place the AM gun?”

The elite of both powers knew how to fight the enemies of humanity.

“Please follow the instructions. I will explain slowly.”

They fought against the monsters that were coming with them.

The ceased gunfire rang out again, and armoured vehicles, crude but modified to deal with just one enemy – monsters – were deployed, and warriors capable of dealing with monsters filled the trenches.

“Oh. Skeleton!”

Reunited with the King.

Today he was wearing a tiger mask.

Even though he was badly limping on one leg, King showed no sign of being intimidated by the sight of the General Type.

“By the way, the air here is bad. My head is pounding and my heart is pounding. I’m way past the age of first love.”

I held out my NP equipment.

“This is equipment that counters the sensor waves emitted by monsters. It will help you endure.”

King scoffed at my concerned suggestion.

“If you can’t even endure this much, you should step down from the throne.”

He didn’t even bother with the NP equipment.

Instead, he turned around and shouted loudly at the men who were giving off an ominous prayer.

“Guys! From now on, follow this guy’s orders. This guy, the professor, knows how to catch monsters better than anyone else in the world.”

As expected, King is a strong man.

Even as his body rots and he may turn into a zombie at any moment, he confronts the crumbling reality with his royal dignity and spirit.

Park Penguin of Incheon United, who appeared with King, was honestly a surprising person.

Although I had a vague idea of ​​what his identity was.

But I haven’t received a definitive answer.

I know that Park Penguin is a Viva! Apocalypse! user, but he’s never told me his nickname before.

Today its identity was revealed.

“It’s Anonymous 458. Well, it’s a bit new.”

also.

It’s a new feeling, but I felt a proud sense of pride that it’s not been more than 7 years since I’ve done Viva! Apocalypse!

A dog that has been trained for three months can recite poetry.

If you’ve been on a bulletin board for over 4 years, you’ll be able to get to know someone well enough to know what kind of person they are without having to meet them in real life.

“I was a little puzzled when you suddenly sent me that message. How did this person know my identity? To be honest, the only one who knows my identity is Kyledos, right? Remember? I didn’t tell Anonymous848. I’m close with him, but what should I say? I’m the type that can be close with three or more people.”

One thing is certain, Park Penguin knew my identity just as I vaguely knew his.

“You’ve actually met, right? Honestly, your characters don’t match up with Skeleton’s, but when you sent me a message, I somehow had the feeling that Skeleton was that guy. Well, since you use multiple accounts, I figured you’d have an account dedicated to relieving stress.”

“This is your main account?”

“Oh, really?”

In any case, a powerful ally has emerged.

This means that a logic has emerged that can stand up to those who were loudly calling for support from the US military.

“Can people who are neither soldiers nor official hunters fight against it?”

Colonel Kwak Sang-hoon, a leading figure in the argument for support for the US military, expressed his unease, but the tide was turning.

“As you know, Colonel, these people have been building communities of tens of thousands of people for a long time. Isn’t there something they do better than us?”

As Woo Min-hee, who was in a good mood, spoke with a smile, Kwak Sang-hoon and the other members of the US military support group all shut their mouths.

The main argument behind the request for US military support was that we could no longer survive on our own, but now that the allied forces have arrived, that logic is bound to lose its force.

Their insistence on supporting the US military may have been partly due to the complacent and selfish idea that since they supported us once, they will support us again.

That’s for sure.

I see talk of sunk costs coming from the backseat.

As the weather gets warmer, more people are moving out of the city, but there are also advantages.

If you break a frozen river, it won’t freeze as quickly as before.

You can tell just by looking at the river that was destroyed yesterday that it hasn’t frozen yet.

A monster was wandering towards the river and heading towards the bridge.

When we ran out of shells, we could only watch them slowly crawl across the bridge.

It’s different now.

Boom! Boom!

A 105mm self-propelled artillery unit called the “Ddongpo” fired its fire.

It’s the King’s Legion.

It is classified as one level lower than the 155mm field gun used by our army, but that is only meaningful when dealing with fellow human soldiers, and when dealing with monsters, it tears them apart fairly.

Park Penguin’s legion came with some pretty interesting weapons.

This is the so-called large monster battery.

This weapon, which is said to have been inspired by anti-tank guns from World War II, has a simple structure of attaching armor plates to a gun with sufficient firepower and firing from a fixed location.

Unlike expensive tanks, it does not consume fuel or require complex mechanical devices, but has the same firepower as a tank, so it was widely used in the southern regions, which had already begun to be eroded long ago.

Of course, it cannot be used in urgent mobile warfare because it does not have its own power and takes time to set up and dissipate heat, but in a situation like now where the enemy’s expected path is predictable, it can sufficiently perform a tank-like role.

In the south, it seems that each region has its own unique pattern, perhaps because it is a historical weapon.

“This is the Damyang pattern and that one is the Ulsan pattern.”

“What’s different?”

“There isn’t much of a difference, but the Damyang pattern has thicker armor. People prefer it because the armor plates and the casemate are welded together, making it sturdier. On the other hand, the Ulsan pattern has thin armor plates and is not welded, so the casemate can collapse when a shell bounces off the reflected field, but it is easier to maintain.”

“Why is there such a difference?”

“I think it’s because there are more monsters in Gyeongsang-do because the population is larger there.”

They deployed weapons, each with their own skills and history, and charged into battle.

They said that parts of the frozen river had been destroyed, but due to the lack of explosives, there were still areas where monsters could cross, so they dug in and concentrated their forces there.

I also tried to enter one of the bits and fight the monster with a monster punch, but this time, Woo Min-hee strongly dissuaded me, so I had no choice but to stay with the other soldiers on the trench side.

Boom! Boom!

The battle began with artillery fire.

Monsters swarmed the battle lines, one after another.

The bridge side is stable.

This is because the artillery force that King brought along has been supplemented, and the firepower of the large monster battery deployed by Park Penguin is enough to repel them.

The problem is to the west, towards the still frozen river.

We could concentrate our artillery firepower to destroy them, but we don’t have the luxury of time.

Even if you destroy that place, the monsters will just move further west and come back.

To make matters worse, there was a large army of zombies and caterpillar-type creatures swarming over them.

A fierce battle was expected.

The battle was centered on Xi’an.

It’s true that King and Park Penguin’s elite soldiers are definitely excellent and specialized, but in my opinion, facing off against that level of troops is not an easy task.

But it seems that there was still a spark of possibility left.

“We will fight too.”

Fanatic.

No, it was Ham Chun-ok, whom I should call a fanatic, and her lover who appeared before me.

They grimaced and showed their anxiety from time to time, feeling the throbbing headaches caused by the curse-like waves emitted by the General type, but they were glaring with determined eyes at the enemies of humanity gathered across the river.

“We also know. If this place falls, everyone will die. I was in Hamheung. When Hamheung fell, I saw how miserably people died like insects. I couldn’t help but think of the apostles, or rather monsters, as gods. But now it’s different!”

She held her lover’s hand and they exchanged glances, smiling shyly as they faced each other.

It was nice to see you.

I secretly wished them happiness, even though I knew that a certain tragedy awaited them.

“You could die.”

“I am prepared for it.”

Regular Awakens have been added to the force.

Every thousand troops.

But they’re not the only ones.

When I heard that the city was in real danger, my friends, both missed and worried, rushed to see me.

Regular Awakens, including Kim Han-na, volunteered to join the battle despite suffering from extreme anxiety and nervousness.

“Captain! We will fight too.”

“Captain. We know too. How serious the situation is right now.”

“If it’s noisy here, doesn’t that mean it’s noisy somewhere else too?”

Normally you should decline.

No matter how much I resolve to push my younger friends, my siblings, or maybe my nephews, into a corner, it is not an easy task.

But now we have to write everything we can.

My past self, the professor’s way, was not necessarily right, but at least in one aspect it had solid validity.

It is the pure and upright heart that wants to kill the enemies of humanity, the monsters.

To defeat them, I became like them, and as a result, I gained a reputation and experience that still continues to this day.

Yes, that’s right.

My past self is also a part of me.

“good.”

Sacrifice is inevitable.

But I won’t let that sacrifice be in vain.

While many people have left the city, there are still ordinary people who have stayed behind.

He said, staring at them.

“Let’s hold out just one more time.”

The door of possibility is open.

It’s now at hand.

bang!

Tata tata tang!

The blood clot was predicted.

The bridge side is being blocked by new power supply, but the problem is still the west bank.

Countless zombies and caterpillar types have come over the bridge, and beyond that, necromancer types that periodically create waves and medium-sized types whose silhouettes are revealed are slowly approaching through the light fog.

bang!

“Church.”

Kim Da-ram’s sniping shone.

Her large-caliber anti-material sniper rifle instantly destroyed the caterpillar-type cores, turning them into particles that would infinitely respawn.

bang!

“Church.”

She may not show her true feelings, but she must be desperate too.

If this city falls, she will lose something more precious than herself: her family.

thud!

On the flanks, Sejong’s elite soldiers, commanded by the King, are waving waves and fighting against zombies and medium-sized creatures.

Machetes, chainsaws, and bludgeons moved around in a chaotic manner, striking down zombies and using King’s force field as a barrier to approach the front and fire a barrage of biological bombardment at the medium-sized creatures that were taking them down with a barrage of fire.

But monsters aren’t easy either.

“Macrophage type discovered!”

“shit!”

As soon as Awaken was dispatched, a large Awaken monster was immediately sent.

“Awake. Standby at the rear.”

He left the rear guard to Bang Jae-hyeok and Kim Da-ram and charged forward with Ha Tae-hoon.

A group of zombies charging forward spotted us, turned around, and charged us.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ha Tae-hoon blows off their heads one after another with consecutive single shots.

He acted like a resigned senior when he was in our area, but he is also a hunter from the school.

It means that his skills have already been proven.

“Nice shot, sir.”

Ha Tae-hoon snickered and fired a chillingly accurate shot at the next wave, making them hesitate.

I see a macrophage type in front of me.

The guy is seen spraying homing projectiles that look like flaming skulls.

It is a projectile that flies and targets only Awakens and is judged as a living entity.

He’s the natural enemy of the Awaken, firing projectiles that can’t be deflected even by reflective fields, but to us old school Hunters he’s just a big target.

Hold your gun and watch the projectiles flying by.

It’s not directed at us, but we won’t harm even a single Awaken.

They are under my protection.

Crunch!

Hold your breath,

Bang! Tata tata tang!

Drop it all at once.

“Nice shot.”

This time, Ha Tae-hoon gave a thumbs up.

I snorted and walked towards the monster that was displaying its heavy presence in front of me.

“Inside the intersection of the reflection station.”

I know, but it always helps to have a spotter nearby to vent.

Bang! Bang!

In the meantime, I felt like Kim Da-ram and Bang Jae-hyeok’s sniping was protecting us like a guardian angel, so I pulled out my Monster Punch.

Ha Tae-hoon said a word.

“Couldn’t you have brought something else? It’s not like it’s some kind of a trap.”

Shh- shh- shh- shh-

Honestly, it looks a bit out of place for a professor to wear, but first-class hunter equipment should be saved for the real battle that comes later.

But after using it several times, I got used to it.

In an instant, I changed the dull charge to a sensitive charge and aimed my Monster Punch at the gray-white enemy writhing in front of us.

Cheeeeeeek-

I watched as the fuse lit and the rocket named Punch flew out and hit the guy.

It quickly retreated, with particles of light scattering in all directions.

As I walked back to the camp, the battlefield unfolded before my eyes like a painting.

Fighting is raging throughout the city.

Smoke rises, flames shoot up, flying debris is scattered, and shouts and roars echo throughout the place, it is a battlefield in and of itself with no place to add or subtract.

It’s been four years, no, five years since the war started.

Humans are still struggling.

Of course, it is not a war in which humans are at an advantage.

Defeat was in some sense certain.

But I won’t just sit back and take it.

I figured out how to beat them.

The possibilities were built step by step based on the hard work and sacrifice of countless people.

A large shield kite is riding the wind and spying the foggy area across the river.

“Report from the Bichha Unit. We have confirmed that the distribution of monsters in the foggy area has decreased significantly.”

The time is ripe.

“Please assemble the entire Hunter team.”
