Episode 44
Bomi was sorry that she was left out of this operation.
“I wanted to put an arrow in the butt of a fanatic who keeps killing people. You saw it yourself, sir. With the new arrows and bows, the range has increased. If I shot from the rooftop, it would probably reach that ship.”
I haven’t tested it, but if the increased range is as Bomi said, it should be able to easily reach the ark ship from the rooftop.
Even if they can’t reach it, if it lands nearby, the crew of the ark will feel threatened.
In that case, it would be okay to expect Bomi’s protection.
After deciding on a sign to request protection from Bomi and me, I ran down to the first floor.
Meanwhile, Elder Kim cut the two men in two with the sharp saw blade on his forearm.
Two bloody bombs flew into the shield, causing it to vibrate and shrink by about 20 meters.
There wasn’t much time. If you keep firing like that, the shield will come off after about a dozen more shots.
I took the drawing out of my pocket and checked the secret gate route once more.
A secret door originally referred to a hole in a castle wall.
A gate is installed in an inconspicuous wall, usually blocked with stones, and when necessary, the stones are removed to allow entry and exit.
While exploring the underground parking lot and Dragon Palace, I discovered that there was a secret door in the shield.
I ran down to the underground parking lot, through the door the water zombies had dug through, and to the circular plaza.
One of the many doors in the circular plaza led to a secret door.
According to the drawing, I jumped into the twelfth door.
As long as you don’t enter the ruined Dragon Palace, time distortion will not occur.
I checked the time by looking at my waterproof wristwatch.
It took about eight minutes to kill a person, pray, make a blood bomb, and fire the gun.
That meant there was roughly 60 minutes, or an hour, left until the shield was completely shattered.
Arriving at the ark before that was no problem, but the problem was whether the work according to the operation plan could be completed on time.
If your work is discovered, the operation could go awry.
In that case, there is no choice but to take out Plan B, take out the Golden Shield, crash the ark, and have a showdown with Bomi under her protection.
As I ran, I checked my tool belt and the knife, baton, and small crossbow I had stowed in my X-band.
The hallway ended and a dead end appeared.
There was a stone placed there, and when one part of the wall was touched, the stone automatically moved and was moved away.
As I stepped out of the door, a Seoul submerged in water appeared.
Buildings were broken, roads were split open like split watermelons, utility poles were down, and seaweed was already growing on the hoods of rusted cars.
When I raised my head, the miserable ruins had disappeared and a beautiful landscape of sunlight sparkling like jewels on the water was revealed.
A red straight line was seen drawn across the peaceful, calm waters.
As the red straight line flew and stopped, waves arose and my body shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
The tremors caused debris to collapse from the city and the ground to crack apart.
I didn’t feel much of an impact because the shield blocked it.
If the shield disappeared and a bloody shell hit the apartment directly, the apartment would collapse.
As we followed the straight line, like a plane trail, the bottom of the ark came into view.
Since I couldn’t run through the ruins of Seoul, I swam toward the ark ship.
There were three more shellings before the ark was reached.
Now there is about 30 minutes left.
Although time was tight, we circled the ship to observe the weight distribution and structure of the ship for planning purposes.
The ship was slightly more sunken at the stern.
It seemed that the luggage was mostly carried at the rear.
I went to the right of the rear and took a hand drill out of my tool belt.
I placed a hand drill on the bottom of the boat and turned the drill by hand.
The wooden ark soon became holed.
The water began to trickle in as if a faucet had been turned on.
At this rate, you can’t steer the ship to the brink of sinking.
I put the saw into the hole and sawed.
Soon a hole the size of a palm was made in the floor.
Water gushed out as if a faucet had been turned on, but there was no sound or movement of people around.
Okay. Then let’s get started for real.
I took out my saw and cut a hole the size of my two arms.
Then the water was sucked into the hole so quickly that a current was created.
I went into the hole and climbed up onto the boat.
As I expected, there were no people, and things were piled up.
It seemed like food and various supplies.
Wooden boxes that appeared to contain ammunition and shells were also seen.
First, I locked all the cabin doors except the stairs.
The cabins were built with independent lattice structures, so that when the ship was flooded, the doors could be closed and sealed to prevent further flooding.
Now that water is only filling one side of the boat, the boat will start to tilt.
Then the guys will think it’s sinking and run away.
Since I had to repair the ship later, I put the plates I cut out to make the holes in a place where I could see them separately.
I took out my crossbow and cautiously stepped forward.
Although it was called a crossbow, it was about the size of a small pizza, about half the size of a regular crossbow.
Originally I was going to make a harpoon to use underwater, but when I got hold of the ribs of a hedgehog crocodile, I wanted to make a more powerful weapon.
However, there was no problem using small crossbows underwater.
Moreover, since it used crocodile ribs as a bow and giant shad thorns as arrows, just like Bomi’s longbow, its power was quite strong.
If the distance isn’t too far, it should be able to penetrate the leather armor worn by the crew of the ark ship.
Soon the water rose to the knees.
Then the boat began to tilt to one side.
There was a commotion coming from above.
“What? Why is my stomach tilting?”
“Did you hit a reef or something?”
“No? Then what? Is there a hole in the stomach? Check it out quickly.”
I heard people coming down.
I hid among the luggage and waited for them to come down.
The door opened and as they came down the stairs they found it filled with water.
“Oh! It’s really full of water.”
“Tell Elder Kim quickly!”
I shot my crossbow at a man trying to run up the stairs.
“iced coffee!”
He screamed and fell down.
People were surprised, but soon discovered me hiding.
In the meantime, I hit the one trying to climb up again with my crossbow.
They couldn’t get up to the arrows I shot.
The water began to rise, rising past my waist.
I climbed on top of the luggage and shot arrows at them.
Phew, phew, every time an arrow was fired, people fell down.
“This won’t work. We’ll get hit if we keep going like this. Let’s all attack together.”
He ordered the attack, hoping that one of them would not fail.
First, I shot the person who gave the order to silence him.
They charged at me, placing the wounded in front of them like a shield.
The people who had been set up as shields began to sing hymns without resisting.
“Ark! Accept my death. Take pity on me and give me a holy death in the water… .”
They’re like crazy fanatics.
I deliberately aimed for their legs so that they would not be able to move, rather than causing fatal injuries.
But if it comes out like this, there’s nothing I can do.
I jumped into the water before they got close.
The water had already risen close to my chest.
That’s why when I dive deep, I can’t find it on the surface.
“Where did this kid go?”
People were running around, stabbing knives, spears, clubs, etc. into the water.
But I had already swum far away.
One person shouted.
“Stop it. If we wait, the guy will soon suffocate and come up, so let’s take care of him then.”
Only then did the people stop their hands and raise their swords, spears, and clubs high, as if they were waiting for the moles in a game of whack-a-mole to appear, and stare intently at the water.
I quietly walked around with my luggage in my arms, clinging to the floor like an eel, and approached them from behind.
“iced coffee!”
The person standing at the very back screamed and fell into the water.
People hastily dragged him up.
But he couldn’t stand properly and fell down again.
Blood rose from the water like smoke.
While people were surprised and confused, this time the person standing on the far right fell over.
“Ahh! Who cut my leg!”
He fell into the water and screamed.
But people were too busy protecting themselves to think of helping him.
They wielded swords, spears, and clubs and struck the water indiscriminately.
Then, by mistake, I hit and injured the person next to me.
But they swung their weapons even more fiercely, thinking that they were stabbing and cutting themselves, not their comrades, but their countrymen.
They turned on the lights and looked for me, but I had already escaped down the stairs.
The water was already up to my neck.
But they didn’t dare to move, fearing that I would attack them underwater if they moved even a little.
I left them there and went up the stairs.
Because the water was rising and the current was so strong, even if they thought about moving, they would be swept away by the current and die before they could reach the stairs.
As we went up, we came across a dark space with a low ceiling.
There were people holding onto the oars.
They were terrified as the ship tilted more and more.
“Please save me.”
“Isn’t the ship sinking?”
“Please take the chains off.”
He pleaded with me, thinking that I was a sailor.
It’s a chain,
Looking closely, I saw that his ankles were shackled.
I cut the shackles with my golden shield and spoke to them.
“I will save you, so you must follow my orders unconditionally. Do you understand?”
They nodded at my words.
