Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 42

Episode 42
Jang Young-soo and Choi Sung-hyun look back at Se-hyeok.
Sehyuk hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Ignore it and go.”
“Why? I’m saving you anyway.”
“It’s not that I’m not saving them for practical reasons. Did you see the child die earlier? At that time, those guys rebelled against the people who fed them, so they should die.”
Choi Sung-hyun’s mouth closes.
As soon as I heard Sehyuk’s next words, I was convinced.
“There were also comments asking why we didn’t even give a damn when we suddenly trampled on the land of people who were living well.”
These were truly selfish words from people who watched children and the elderly die.
“Those guys are beyond help. Look at this. A child died and they didn’t even collect the body and left it there.”
Choi Sung-hyun lowered his head.
“The ones we should really be fighting against are the deserters who exploited us. But aren’t they the ones who are strong and follow us like pigs and dogs just because we give them food?”
Sehyuk also just has a bitter expression on his face.
“It seems like there’s no point in saving those guys.”
“I think so.”
Leave quietly.
To be exact, that’s what I was trying to do.
“Over there! Over there, I think those are intruders!”
A skinny civilian at the front pointed to Sehyuk and his group.
And then, chaos ensued.
“Hey! Go and tell him quickly! Then he’ll give you a reward!”
“Shut up! My husband will go first!”
Civilians fighting among themselves, pulling at each other’s clothes to see who will report first.
In the process, the child’s body lying on the floor was trampled.
They were people who had been completely enslaved and their minds were completely dried up.
And Choi Sung-hyun bit his lips tightly as if he had made up his mind about something.
“Sehyuk, please allow me.”
As soon as Sehyuk saw that, he could guess what Choi Sunghyun was trying to do.
“I don’t allow it.”
Choi Sung-hyun pulled out the nail gun he used from his waistband.
Bam!
The nail was fired.
Swish! Swish!
And, Sehyuk and his group finally arrived in front of the headquarters building.
“It’s grim.”
Choi Sung-hyun, who was rubbing his bloody face, looks up at the reserve force training center headquarters building with shining eyes.
“The thing sticking out on the left is a siren, and underneath it is what looks like a radio device. What kind of radio waves are they trying to receive?”
A headquarters building with all sorts of strange mechanical devices attached to the walls.
At first glance, it looked like it might be the laboratory of an eccentric experimenter or an alien base.
This is Choi Seong-hyeon, who is disassembling each machine device and analyzing what is inside.
‘Sure, there’s a lot.’
The entrance is also sealed with solid iron plates, giving an even more bleak impression.
Looking at the sight, Sehyuk’s mouth watered.
‘If they have so many strange machines attached to the building, there must be even more machines that they have made.’
It’s time to see what these deserted engineers have been collecting over the years.
‘Generator. I definitely need that.’
Generator. Bomb. Gun. Barricade.
It’s time to get our hands on everything the engineers have been trying to survive by killing others.
‘And, somehow, I have a feeling that there aren’t just tools like generators.’
This was also the inspector’s intuition.
Deserted engineers are already mass-producing pistols.
It is a technology that even gave guns to each and every one of the thugs.
There’s no way those guys would only be mass-producing ordinary things.
‘Because it’s a secret warehouse. There might be some secret projects going on there.’
It’s just a feeling, but Sehyuk’s feeling is pretty accurate.
‘Then how should we get through here?’
Sehyuk glanced around the headquarters of the deserted engineers again.
The secret warehouse headquarters of the deserters, armed with various machines and solid iron plates.
It’s a fairly large building, not a container.
Of course, the defenses will be well-maintained.
Judging by their appearance, all the guys who have appeared so far are lowlifes.
‘You can tell just by looking at them not sending people out all at once. They must have stockpiled all their resources at headquarters and are maintaining an ironclad defense.’
It is a well-known fact that the defending side has the advantage in war.
Since the strategy is to take a defensive stance, it will be difficult to penetrate the headquarters.
“I think we should start by entering. Please give me the order.”
Jang Young-soo looks at Se-hyeok.
“It would be better to drill through a sheet of iron than through a stone.”
“So, Sehyuk-nim is going to use the sword to sweep it all away again?”
Choi Sung-hyun’s eyes sparkle with anticipation.
Sehyuk shook his head.
“There is a simple way, so there is no need to waste your energy.”
Sehyuk sneaked over the barricade and approached the door.
After fiddling with the iron plate for a bit, he inserted the knife into the gap between the wall and the additional iron plate.
A shallow silvery magical energy flows through the sword.
Kookung!
The sheet metal falls out of the wall in one piece.
A shallow section cut out where the sheet metal is joined to the wall.
And Choi Sung-hyun, who was looking at the sight, his eyes light up.
“Oh, if we do it this way, we don’t have to blow it up. Huh?”
Choi Sung-hyun suddenly runs towards the iron plate.
“Please wait a moment! Don’t come this way!”
After leaving those words, Choi Sung-hyun rummaged through his bag and looked for something.
And then, tools come out in his hands.
Things like sheet metal cutters, power drills, scissors, and nippers.
‘When did you get that?’
As always, Choi Sung-hyun seems to be a person with a very high level of job satisfaction.
Considering the weight, I always carry the tool with me.
Choi Sung-hyun, who was working on various things with a creaking sound, pulls out a machine device from inside the iron plate.
“It’s an unexpected profit!”
Choi Sung-hyun smiled brightly.
“What is that?”
“It’s an infrared sensor.”
As soon as he heard that, a way to utilize this object popped into Sehyuk’s head.
“It looks like these guys were also used to detect intruders.”
“Yes. Right now, we’re using traps to protect the area around our house, but traps are dangerous. With this, we can better protect the area around our house.”
“I would like to build a system that automatically attacks when the sensor reacts.”
“That’s it!”
Choi Sung-hyun looked at the infrared sensor part that he had taken off with excitement.
“It looks like they’ve replaced the infrared devices with energy crystals. In fact, there are many better ways to detect intruders than infrared sensors… .”
Seonghyeon Choi, who is often talked about because his favorite field has emerged.
Sehyuk hurriedly covered his mouth.
“Let’s hear that after we make it. So, when do you think it will be possible to use it?”
“I think I could make this tool myself if I just took it apart a little. The intruder automatic bombardment system would be a long way off though.”
“Okay, that’s enough. For now, it’s fine to just be notified when an intruder comes.”
Sehyuk looked at the sensor held by Choi Sunghyun with a pleased expression.
“If someone comes in, you can just take care of them yourself. Come with me quickly.”
Sehyuk takes the lead.
Jang Young-soo follows behind.
Choi Sung-hyun also carefully placed the sensor in his bag and followed after them.
To get more machines.
[Intruder detected.]
[Level 2 alert is issued.]
Why, why! Why, why!
As soon as I entered, the siren started blaring loudly again.
“It looks like there was a detection sensor nearby too.”
Jang Young-soo frowns slightly.
“What should I do? They seem to be coming.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll just deal with the ones that come anyway.”
The guys coming out of here are the soldiers who stayed huddled inside the headquarters until the very end and did not come out.
That means he is the closest associate of the guy who ordered the exploitation of civilians.
There’s no need to keep those guys alive.
As he said that, Sehyuk calmly drew his sword.
Looking at the stairs leading up to the second floor located in the front.
And then, a soldier comes down the stairs.
“If you surrender now, I won’t kill you!”
The moment the guy sees Sehyuk and his group and aims his gun at them.
Sehyuk quickly flew away.
Bang! Titi-ting!
The sound of bullets hitting metal, bouncing back and hitting concrete echoed inside the building.
Sehyuk is taking a blocking stance with his sword raised.
Looking at that sight, the man in military uniform who fired the gun is surprised.
It reacted.
The bullets are flying.
‘A few feet is fine, no spatial interference required.’
Having overcome the calamitous trials of the colony, it seems they have become stronger.
With that thought, Sehyuk lightly stabbed himself with his sword.
Fall down without strength.
“Mr. Sehyuk!”
Meanwhile, after the situation is over, Jang Young-soo and Choi Seong-hyeon come running in a hurry.
To their eyes, it must have seemed like Sehyuk had suddenly rushed at a soldier who was shooting at him.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Two people assessing the situation.
The two soon realized what was happening and sighed in surprise.
“Did you deflect the bullet with your sword?”
“I started seeing it at some point. That’s why I was confident.”
The disaster of the colony.
Overcoming that terrible disaster may have allowed the body to grow to a higher level.
Choi Sung-hyun smiled brightly upon hearing that and said he liked it.
“Oh, really. You said that there is no weapon more fearsome than a gun to us. But you are eating it all by yourself. It’s reassuring.”
After grabbing the military uniform and pistol from the fallen man, the three of them took a quick look around the first floor.
There was no income.
“So, where is the platoon leader in charge of this area?”
“Since it’s a factory, it usually ends up being a two- or three-story building. Let’s go up first.”
Walk up the stairs.
The second floor was filled with all kinds of concealment made of iron plates and steel frames.
A level of cover that almost completely blocks the passage.
The sight was reminiscent of a mountain of iron.
Sehyuk, who saw the sight, realized that these hiding places were some kind of defensive kill zone.
“Choi Sung-hyun. Take a look at the shelters. Find out what special mechanical devices there are.”
“I see. It’s structured like a maze.”
Choi Sung-hyun looking inside the maze.
The group calmly examined the second floor.
“Without going far, I think there will be some guys over there.”
Jang Young-soo points to the opposite side of the stairs.
One room that is particularly well-enclosed by structures is immediately visible.
Sehyuk had already guessed.
I think it might be over there.
“I thought so too. I just felt the need to look around before entering.”
“I was short-sighted.”
And then, Choi Sung-hyun, who was looking around the maze with good timing, looks back at Se-hyeok.
Your face doesn’t look good.
“It seems like there are traps set up in the maze.”
“I thought so.”
Ordinary intruders would have chosen to pass through the heavily fortified cover.
And that’s what they were aiming for.
‘A breakthrough is needed.’
Sehyuk made a decision.
“Choi Sung-hyun. I think I should show you what you wanted to see here. Everyone, come behind me.”
“yes?”
Sehyuk pulled out his sword without saying anything.
