Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary - Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary chapter 180

Episode 180. Beta (3)

Kang-soo hid behind a tree, and stepped on the tree at the moment when the opponent’s presence diminished.

two opponents. One of them had been pierced through the right shoulder by a bullet.

‘Both of them have considerable ability to deal with crises… … ?’

It was because the actions of Luke, who was covering fire, and Shane, who quickly dragged him in, were quite different from those he had dealt with before.

Papapak— Papak—

Even now, it seemed that he was monitoring the situation while maintaining covering fire.

‘… It would be a mistake if I thought that.’

At that moment, Kang-soo fired a bullet from the top of the tree down to the right.

Papak— Papa pak—

Shane, a white-haired man who had approached before he knew it, took a wide detour and was running to catch Kang-soo’s back.

Shane must have noticed Kang-su’s aim, so he quickly rolled aside and got out of sight. As a result, the bullet penetrated only the poor bushes and went into the ground and trees.

At the same time, bullets flew over the tree where the river was standing.

Of course, the river, which had already left the spot, crossed over to the tree next to it and landed down again.

Papak— Tadadadada—

‘The guy who was covering fire is still in the same position. The guy who dodged the bullet earlier… back!’

Kang-soo, who had sharpened his five senses, quickly turned around like before.

At that, Shane, who was aiming the gun at Kang-su at high speed, was startled and pressed the trigger.

Papa pak— papa pak—

The bullet passed through the dodged water and lodged in a tree.

clap—

Hiding behind a tree for a while, the two men exchanged magazines together as if they had been put together.

Meanwhile, Luke continued covering fire.

The two fired at each other, dodging the bullet’s trajectory. Even so, it was moving quickly through the trees and collided in front of the nose.

Perk—

“Keugh—!”

“Ugh!”

Kang-soo exchanged fists and knees with Shane, aiming a pistol in his spare time.

However, each other exquisitely turned or avoided the direction of the muzzle and made it shoot in a different place.

Papa pak— Papa pak—

At that time, the two of them bumped their elbows and their faces came closer to each other.

“Your boy… What is it?”

It was German that came out unconsciously. Kangsu answered in the same language as Shane.

“You guys have been hiding it until now, and you want me to answer you obediently?”

“If you see your limbs ripped in front of your eyes, you’ll blow something.”

Shiaak—

Shane swung the jackknife he was holding onto Kangsu.

In response, Kangsu fell back while blocking it with the muzzle. Shane, who did not miss the moment, stretched out his gun and tried to fire.

Click— click—

The sound of an empty magazine rang out. Kangsu smiled under his mask and aimed the gun at him.

Shane rolled behind a tree at the same time as the gong rang through the air.

At that time, Kang-su, who went back behind the tree faster than Shane, swung her knee.

pug-

It was a completely unexpected number. In response, Shane rolled through the bush while narrowly blocking it with his left forearm.

Kang-soo rushed at it without giving a chance.

Meanwhile, Shane’s left forearm throbbed badly. There was no strength in his hands either. It was cleanly broken.

“Kuh-”

“Now I can concentrate and fight.”

Covering fire also ceased. Like Shane, Luke also ran out of bullets.

“You’ve broken my arm, so you’re saying I’m not worth fighting with a gun?”

“No way.”

He raised the gun he was holding and pulled the trigger.

Click— click—

Shane, who was startled for a second, tried to dodge to the side, but when he heard the sound, he looked at him dumbfounded.

“Did you grasp all the powers?”

Even just now, Shane jumped behind a tree, confident that Kangsu would shoot. If that idea had worked, Shane could have attacked in reverse, matching the timing of the shot.

It was all discovered by Kang-soo.

“Isn’t that basic?”

“Ha—what a f*cking situation. It wasn’t enough that he put his mouth into the trap, and even exposed his power… … .”

“Are you briefing on why the operation failed?”

“Heh… ! It means to be prepared from now on.”

creepy—

Shane swung his right hand open as if tearing something apart. At that moment, Shane’s pure white skin, exposed outside of his clothes, began to turn red from the inside of the hem.

Shuaaa

The movements were completely different from before. In an instant, he approached Kang-soo’s eyes and reached out his hand toward his neck.

At that moment, Kang-soo was startled and quickly retreated.

Shane also caught up without missing the moment.

Papak- Pak! Kwajik-!

At that moment, the thick piece of wood in Shane’s hand was squeezed in his grasp and shattered. It was a formidable force. At the same time, redness lingered on Shane’s fingertips and entire face.

“A rat-like guy is also quick. But how long can I avoid it!”

Saying that, Shane drove the rain faster.

Pupperpuck— Kwajik— Pupperpuck—

It was like fighting a beast. So Shane swung his kick wildly with his grip.

The river, which had been retreating for a long time, had nowhere to hide as it turned its back on the trees.

At the same time, Shane laughed, the corners of his mouth lengthening.

“Ha ha ha! It’s over!”

It was a grip that could break even trees in one handful. If it was a human neck, it was certain that it would break like a branch as soon as it was grabbed.

However, Kang-su’s hand quickly grabbed Shane’s wrist and twisted it, throwing it toward the tree behind him.

Quaang—!

“Ah!”

Shane’s wrist was still held by Kang-soo.

Kangsu twisted his arm again, lifted him into the air, and slammed him down to the floor.

Koo-!

A heavy sound echoed through the ground.

“Gagging—!”

A groan escaped from Shane’s mouth. Even in the midst of that, Shane couldn’t understand what the hell was going on.

Could a person have been able to lift and throw a person high with one hand?

If it was Shane now, it would have been possible. But the opponent… … ?

Shane was able to come to his senses after looking at the thick branches in the dark.

“You guys… no way… . Was it a beta?”

Kang-soo, who did not understand his words, asked again with his arms tensed.

“… beta?”

“Yes, Beta. A failure… … !”

“… clinker?”

While answering back and forth, Shane’s skin color, which had turned red, slowly returned to its original color. Shane’s power, which had been transmitted through Kang-su’s fingertips, was also less than before.

“You don’t know anything? no way… Was it born of an escaped host?”

At that moment, Kangsu understood what Shane was saying as if putting a puzzle together.

At the same time, what the strength and agility Shane had just shown resembled.

chin-

Kang-soo, whose anger began to soar, grabbed Shane’s neck with his hands.

“Were you a test subject for Bluton Reform?”

“Kuuu could be? And what do you ask? but… If I had been born of a runaway host, I would have died giving birth to you. He could have grown up not knowing anything— great!”

Power went into Kang’s hands.

At that moment, Shane’s skin turned red as before, and he grabbed Kang-soo’s arm with his right hand. Thinking he had created a gap, he grabbed Kang-su’s arm and tried to break it.

but… … .

“I-why is this—”

Kangsu didn’t even move. Rather, the hand that gripped Shane’s neck had more strength.

“Why? So far, it seems like you’ve ripped people apart with that power. Is it strange that my body isn’t like that?”

In the meantime, Shane’s eyes shook like an earthquake. It looked like he had seen something unbelievable.

“You guys can’t… ! Alpha? oh, that can’t be! Alpha cannot exist!”

“What is Alpha? Is it a grade or something?”

Kang-soo recalled what Shane said earlier, misunderstanding him as Beta.

Even now, Shane’s expression was stained with astonishment. While doing so, he busily scanned Kang-soo’s face and neck with his gaze. It was confirmed that he did not blush like himself.

“Really Alpha… did it exist? The alpha the higher up wanted so much?”

At his words, Kang-soo was more confused. If you just look at the feeling, it was clear that he was talking about something above Beta.

Bluton Reform’s experiments have been carried out on a considerable scale for a long time. So Kang-soo expected that there would be quite a few people like him.

Of course, he had never met a level similar to his own while fighting until now. At least, Shane, who was now in front of him, followed him a little.

“There was a part that I was a little worried about, but it turned out to be a good answer.”

“… what?”

“If I’m really the alpha you’re talking about, that means there’s no one stronger than me.”

I’ve never had this kind of information before. Of course, this was useful information.

It might have been false information, but looking at Shane’s reaction now, it was clearer than anything else.

“Keugh—is it really so? Who doesn’t even know the meaning of your existence?”

“Then tell me. What does it mean? Did Bluton Reform try to start a war by making a bunch of guys like you?”

Kang-soo was surprised when he came to know his own strength. Fast learning ability and deep concentration than anyone else. In addition, the power and agility that become stronger with concentration.

There was a backlash, but it wasn’t like the Shane in front of me right now.

Right now, Shane’s face, neck, and hands have erythematous skin. It was bound to look like a side effect of using strength.

“Your fellow… I don’t know anything… cuuu— how can we—”

At that time, Kangsu threw back the dagger he was holding in his other hand.

Shuaaah!

It was because Luke, who was hiding in the woods behind him, jumped out and tried to throw something.

Luke was struck in the chest by a knife thrown by Kang-su and stumbled.

“Big—wow, did you think I would collapse with this!”

With a cry, Luke’s whole body was covered with erythema, and he threw something he was holding in his left hand and collapsed.

Shuuk—

Kang-soo’s eyes, whose five senses were sensitive, turned to the thing that flew into the air.

It was a flash grenade.

Quaang—!

“Ah-!”

Kang-soo felt pain when he frowned at the light that burst out in an instant. It was because he didn’t think the other guy was a test subject like Shane.

As if he had waited, Shane turned his torso off the floor, bent Kang-su’s elbow, and freed himself from his hand.

Tada da—

In the meantime, Kangsu regained his sight and looked around. It was after Shane disappeared. And they found Luke’s body lying between the trees.

The erythema, which had risen red until just now, had subsided as if it had never happened.

“sh*t-!”

The problem started now.

Because of the stun grenade that had just exploded in the air, the NIS agents who were heading toward the tennis courts might come rushing in.

Kang-soo searched Luke’s arms and found a cell phone and some other things, took care of the things he had used, and headed down the mountain.

“Calling Zero. Calling Zero. Water here. Respond. Over.”

As I went down the mountain, I sang Gong Chi-yeong with my earphones.

[This is Zero. Say Water. Over.]

“Is the movement of the enemy detected by the drone? Over.”

[The stun grenade that just exploded caused a malfunction and crashed. Over.]

Shane and Luke’s movements were captured thanks to Gong Chi-young tracking them with a drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera. Having lost it, tracking was no longer difficult.

“Whoa— I got it. Over.”
