Episode 85

【 The final battle with the 100,000 people 】

Colonel Jang’s shouts were heard from the restaurant.

“You dare to rebel? You are all subject to immediate execution! If you rise up and rise up against the rebels right now, I will specially forgive your sins! Hurry up!”

What the heck! Colonel Jang, are you crazy?

Did you really believe your own nonsense that if you lifted a finger, the soldiers would rise up like a swarm of bees?

But reality was different, and Colonel Jang immediately ran out of the restaurant.

And then he ran without looking back.

He passed me by and said,

“Hey! I have to go first, so please hold the back for me.”

The soldiers who had followed Colonel Jang out found me.

“Intruder!”

They pulled out guns and other weapons at me.

“Put your hands up! Are you in league with Colonel Jang too?”

“It’s not even a pack, and I can’t even raise my hand.”

I took out the golden shield.

They didn’t hesitate to shoot at me for my challenging appearance.

Bang, bang!

The bullet ricocheted off the golden shield.

“iced coffee!”

The screams came from the soldiers, not from me.

I was hit by a grenade that bounced off my shield.

“Cease fire, cease fire.”

Then officers in military uniforms stepped forward.

Sergeant Park said.

“You are the one who came today to negotiate peace.”

Oh! How did you know?

I was wearing a mask covering my face.

Do black aquatic parasites or swarms identify people with different senses than humans?

Surely you didn’t just poke it?

I didn’t answer, but Sergeant Park seemed certain that I was the person who had come during the day.

“Don’t attack before the ink on the peace treaty dries. I gave you a chance, and now there’s nothing you can do. It’s war.”

“Wow! It’s a battle.”

“Defeat the enemy! Let’s win!”

The soldiers shouted with high spirits.

If this happens, we won’t be able to return to the island until we eliminate the 100,000 people.

We must chase after Colonel Jang quickly.

I slowly backed away, timing my exit down the hallway.

Then the officers who had stepped forward ran toward me.

They didn’t have any guns or weapons in their hands.

Since the gun doesn’t work, are you trying to fight with your fists?

I was skeptical, but he actually attacked me with his bare body, without using any weapons.

The second lieutenant who had been running towards me flew up and did a flying kick towards me.

The leg stretched out in the air struck the shield as it was.

I almost fell backwards in shock, but I managed to hold on.

The problem came next.

The captain, who was running right behind me, aimed for my leg as if he was making a deep tackle on a soccer field.

There was no time to block the rapid succession of attacks that could have been simultaneous with a shield.

I jumped to avoid breaking my legs.

The tackle was avoided, but another attack came in like a wave.

The lieutenant behind him pushed my chest with his palm as if he was blowing a gust of wind.

I didn’t even use force, but I let out a groan without realizing it.

I was out of breath and rolled backwards as if I had been hit by a car.

Did those officers train in martial arts to prepare them for tight corridors or close quarters combat situations where they can’t use their guns?

Or maybe you became a master after watching a martial arts movie?

Their movements and power were completely different from any gangsters or fighters I had ever faced.

Rather, he was closer to an athlete such as a taekwondo or boxer.

No, he was faster and stronger than them.

Not only that, their coordinated attacks were as synchronized as the 108 Arhat formations of the Shaolin Temple that I had briefly seen on the restaurant screen.

Their skills were skills, but it was an unexpected blow that I had never expected.

Having defeated formidable enemies so far and gained confidence, I ended up underestimating the Hundred Thousand and Black Aquatic Insects.

According to the monster guide and Hyang-i’s evaluation, neither of them were that strong.

But when the two were combined, an unexpected attack power was revealed.

I was mentally preparing myself that I might get caught or killed like this, but no follow-up attack came.

What the heck? If you just stretch out your arms, you can grab me or twist my neck.

Instead, a strange screaming sound was heard.

“Yay!”

“Ugh!”

As I stood up, the officers were showing me some kind of martial arts demonstration, punching me hard and kicking their feet so high that I could hear the wind.

What are you guys doing?

If you watch martial arts movies, in the middle of a fight, they show off fancy moves by jumping around here and there like a circus, without any meaning. Are you imitating that?

No, why?

Is it confidence that you can easily finish it by just extending your hand?

No, rather, is it more like a blind spot in the data learning pattern?

Before it went underwater, AI developed and collected data, learned, and created incredible calculations and works that humans could never do.

However, there were times when I couldn’t tell the difference between a carpet and a cat, as if I was an idiot.

That strange performance seemed to me to be a silly mistake.

So you’re saying that you didn’t deliberately practice to subdue enemies in narrow hallways without a gun?

For some reason, I was hooked on martial arts.

Yet they were fast and powerful, like doped athletes.

I thought it might be the effect of a black aquatic parasite.

According to Hyang-i, fish infected with aquatic parasites move faster and more actively.

Even if we fought them one-on-one, it didn’t seem easy to defeat them with bare hands.

Well then, you can try another method.

As soon as the audience performance was over, they rushed towards me again.

I pulled out my pistol.

The pistol was taken from a soldier guarding Colonel Jang’s room.

I lightly pulled the trigger towards the flying aircraft.

bang!

The lieutenant fell backwards as if hit by a strong wind.

The officers following him had to stop.

I backed away with my gun pointed at them.

The officers seemed taken aback by the unexpected situation.

“That’s not right. To take out a shameless weapon in a fair and just contest. This is the unprincipled and unprincipled behavior of a sect.”

The captain kicked the floor with a determined expression, as if he was going to punish the evil.

Then he sped up and showed off his wall-climbing skills.

In martial arts movies, there was a scene where they ran along a wall to avoid dark magic.

However, the gun I was holding was not a crude weapon like a spear or shuriken, but a modern weapon made of gunpowder and steel.

bang!

The captain slid to the floor, leaving a trail of blood on the wall.

The officers also seemed to have realized that martial arts were no longer effective.

He took a gun from a soldier.

But I had already left the hallway.

I quickly ran away and locked the iron door on the stairs.

The iron gate won’t last long, but that should give you enough time to catch the ancestral thugs.

As I quickly went downstairs, scanning the cabin, an announcement came from the speaker on the ceiling.

– Beep! Beep! An intruder has appeared in the trap. All personnel are on armed alert! Shoot to kill if found.

I saw a head peeking out from the cabin over there, as if I had heard the broadcast.

When he found me, he hurriedly grabbed a gun and ran out into the hallway.

But this time, I showed off my martial arts skills.

Before he could even aim, I flew up and kicked him in the knee.

He was hit in the jaw and fell out.

I quickly picked up the gun he had dropped and aimed it at the cabin.

Fortunately, there was no one in the cabin.

I looked in other rooms, but I couldn’t find Colonel Jang.

I went straight down to the lower floor.

A few soldiers appeared and blocked my path, but I easily subdued them using my shield to block their bullets.

I went down several floors like that, but I couldn’t find Colonel Jang.

Finally, we reached the very bottom floor where the stairs ended.

Yeah, yeah!

The roar of the machine was so loud that it made my ears ring.

The lowest level seemed to house equipment such as an engine room and torpedo launchers.

Looking down the narrow hallway, I wondered if there were really a hundred thousand people here.

Could it be that Colonel Jang, the ancestral gangster, was playing a trick?

It was as if he was going down the stairs, but then he ran upstairs.

However, the upper floor was a missionary area, and there were many places that were in operation 24 hours a day, including the wheelhouse, so they would have been caught right away.

I searched the engine room and the torpedo launching platform, but neither Colonel Jang nor Sipmandong were in sight.

When there are about a hundred thousand of them, they are said to be as small as a car and as large as almost a house.

Instead, the shape is not fixed, but changes fluidly like slime.

Now all that remains is the BALLAST TANK.

A ballast water tank is a tank filled with ballast water that serves to maintain the center of the ship. It is installed in a double structure at the bottom of the ship, below the engine room.

While looking closely, I found a manhole with the letters BT written on it near the engine room.

There were traces of human intervention in the manhole.

That’s right. Colonel Jang went down here.

So that means there are a hundred thousand people below.

Come to think of it, a hundred thousand years old fish can’t live outside of water.

If that’s the case, then it should be in a place like a fish tank, out of sight of people, and nothing more than a ballast tank.

I opened the manhole.

The inside of the manhole was so dark that it seemed as if it had swallowed up the darkness, so I took out the light from my backpack and shined it inside.

I could see that the water was full of reflected light.

However, it was impossible to tell how much water there was or how deep it was.

From my perspective, being able to breathe under water wasn’t a problem.

However, if it is fresh water rather than sea water, it may be difficult.

Last time, when it became possible to purify seawater with sea lotus, I tested it and found that I couldn’t breathe in fresh water.

Ballast water is drawn in and released from seawater, but as ships travel the five oceans, they also release ballast water from other seas.

At this time, organisms mixed in with seawater from other regions can become invasive species, such as nutria, and destroy the ecosystem.

They say they do special treatment to prevent this.

Is it possible that you can’t breathe in this water?

Well, since you can swim, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

I lowered the rope and went down into the manhole.
