Episode 420 Escape (1)

Tadadadadadadang!!!

The soldiers’ gunshots ring out.

Even though they are reservists who are not active military personnel but civilians.

How well trained is he?

The moment the order was given, there was no hesitation in pointing the gun at us and pulling the trigger.

……of course.

Even so,

Kagagagagaga river!!!

“Tsk.”

Those bullets.

Nothing major happened to us.

“Things have gotten complicated.”

“That’s right.”

The moment the bullets rain down.

There was a man who stepped forward to face those bullets.

Tiddydididick!

Countless bullets.

They were being bounced in all directions without being able to penetrate the military uniform that covered his entire body.

“What should I do? Please give me the order.”

“It’s unfortunate, but it looks like we can’t avoid the battle.”

I sighed inwardly.

He said, putting his hand on his waist.

“First, let’s escape from here. If there’s anyone blocking us, we’ll have to break through.”

With that being said.

I had two kitchen knives tied to my waist.

I tried to take out [Dokgo Gusik] and [Black Chinese Food].

however.

Swish… … .

“Hehe.”

“Put it in.”

Two arms stretched out.

He stopped my hand like that.

“what?”

“I understood the order. But.”

Two people stopped my hand from pulling out the sword.

Privates Jeon Gwang-il and Seo Su-hyeok said with faint smiles.

“Why would a sergeant like you come out to do such a menial task?”

“Sergeant Shin, just rest and watch. The two of us will do the work.”

and.

I looked at those two people and thought.

‘These guys noticed.’

A fact that was not revealed to anyone except the conscripts.

‘About my physical condition.’

My current physical condition is.

It was never normal.

‘I was planning to keep it a secret.’

If I show myself to be weak, it will affect the morale of my unit members.

That’s why I tried to hide it as much as possible.

I didn’t even tell my executives, in the faint hope that things might get better with time.

I’ve been trying my best not to show it.

“As expected of a sergeant in his final years, the sergeant is standing behind me.”

“It must be frustrating to have your final year’s vacation cut short, but no one will say anything if you do your military work haphazardly.”

Those two guys had already noticed it.

This would have been impossible if I hadn’t been paying a lot of attention to my condition on a regular basis.

I said with a snicker.

“Okay. Sorry, but you two are going to have to suffer a bit.”

“Hey, that was hard work.”

“Isn’t this our original role?”

And then, at that moment.

Tadadadadada… … .

“Then, where.”

Enemy gunfire rains down again.

Private Jeon Gwang-il walked confidently into the middle of them and said.

“I will escort you to the exit. You three, follow behind me.”

He put his hand into his bosom.

Inside, he took out a huge glove and helmet and equipped it.

“Whew… … .”

A helmet shaped like a mask similar to a gas mask.

Even huge, thick gauntlets that were about the size of a small person.

Tadadada… … .

A man armed with military equipment all over his body.

He takes the bullet and walks forward silently.

“……what.”

Those soldiers showed no hesitation in pointing their guns at people.

I’m talking about soldiers who are so well trained that it’s hard to believe they’re reservists.

“That’s… … .”

But, on their faces like that.

A large crack began to form.

Kwung, kwung… … .

“That giant… … !”

A continuous barrage of bullets.

Taking all those bullets.

“The gun isn’t working!”

Private Jeon Gwang-il.

He threw his body away.

* * *

Their commander, Lieutenant General Kim Myeong-hwan, has left his post at some point.

We tried to escape against the soldiers who tried to block and oppress us.

“this person……!”

… … When I say it like this, it feels like we are in the same position.

That wasn’t necessarily the case.

“monster……!”

Kuung!!!

“Keuk… … !”

With one light swing of the fist from Private Jeon Gwang-il.

The soldiers who were shooting and the people around them were all blown away at once.

“I’m saying this just in case, but if possible, don’t kill me!”

“… …Loyalty.”

Private Jeon Gwang-il, who heard my order, acted as if bullets didn’t even hurt.

I just walked out silently.

“Damn it… … Stop it no matter what!”

“Oh, by any means, Irani.”

If there were medieval warriors who encountered chariots for the first time, would this be how they felt?

A soldier screamed with a pale face.

“How can you stop something like that!”

The bullets they keep shooting.

It wasn’t even enough to cause damage like a single arrow fired at a tank.

“Take aim at the guys behind you!”

“It’s hard because it’s so big!”

The result of rapid growth after awakening, despite being already large.

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s body was so strong and large that he could hide three people behind him.

The sight of a man walking forward silently.

The pressure was not much less than that of dozens of giant tanks advancing.

Tadadadadadadang!!!

“S, save me… … .”

Kuung!!!

“Crunch… … .”

Even though Private Jeon Gwang-il was considerate of us hiding behind him, he just walked slowly.

They could not slow their advance one bit.

‘The battle dress of the Legion.’

Its defensive capabilities were already well known.

This combat uniform had enough protection to block at least one bullet even when it was just coming down from the mountain range.

Through research and development by production staff led by Director Lee Sang-ah, it has now reached a level where it can boast a defensive capability that can withstand even a hail of bullets.

……of course.

‘It’s tolerable, but not to the point where you can block everything.’

It’s a barrage of dozens of soldiers.

No matter how effective the military uniform was, it wasn’t enough to completely reduce the damage to zero.

If the effect of the military uniform was that great, then Lieutenant Kim, Private Seo Su-hyeok, and I wouldn’t have had to hide behind Jeon Gwang-il.

And yet, the reason why that guy is so fine is…

Swish… … .

‘That vibe.’

That dark, black aura that settled near that body.

It seemed to be under the influence of [Madness].

I was following the guy.

I was startled when I saw that spirit.

‘Is that thing getting wider?’

Gwangil’s [Madness] is a power that has been seen for a long time.

I knew that was what made him strong.

But, up until now, the madness had only been seen swaying around the guy’s body.

but.

Not now.

Swish.

The black, ominous energy that Gwangil thought only lingered on the guy’s body.

Spreading out widely around.

“What is that black aura!”

“The bullet is blocked by that energy!”

That black aura is like a shield.

We were blocking bullets aimed at us from behind.

‘There probably wasn’t a function like that before.’

and.

I had a gut feeling when I saw that sight.

‘Private Jeon Gwang-il’s level has also passed 30.’

That’s probably a new power the guy has gained.

That would be part of it.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Ah, ahh.”

Private Jeon Gwang-il walks forward silently.

The soldiers who were looking at that guy suddenly…

He was just absentmindedly pulling the trigger of a gun that had run out of magazines.

“I’m out of ammo… … .”

An enemy that didn’t seem to have even the slightest scratch, even though they had poured all the bullets they had into it.

A soldier muttered in a voice filled with despair.

“There’s no way this is real.”

“… … .”

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s right. It must be a dream. The dream of being hunted by a monster that I had every day.”

“It was a dream.”

and.

About those soldiers.

“Just dream for a moment.”

Private Jeon Gwang-il.

He swung his huge fist.

* * *

“Crunch… … .”

“I think this is the last one for now.”

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il, who was holding a soldier’s neck, said as he roughly threw the soldier’s body backward.

A considerable number of soldiers attacked us.

As Private Jeon Gwang-il stepped forward against them, most of the soldiers were subdued.

‘Did Jang Young-woong run away to somewhere else?’

Not only Jang Young-woong, but also Lieutenant General Kim Myeong-hwan has disappeared somewhere.

We decided to ignore them and prioritize our escape.

‘For now, I contacted the soldiers waiting elsewhere and asked them to come and provide support.’

This bunker was so large and complex.

It’ll take quite a while to join them.

“That wall looks pretty thick.”

“I will break it.”

The shield wall that appeared the moment Lieutenant General Kim Myeong-hwan gave the order to close.

We were standing in front of the barrier that blocked the hallway.

……however.

Kuung… … !

“……hmm?”

Private Jeon Gwang-il swings his gauntleted fist at the shield.

The guy looked down at his fist, grimacing.

“what’s the matter?”

“This… is harder than I thought.”

I couldn’t help but flinch at his words.

“You’re really saying that?”

“Well, honestly, I can’t believe it either.”

Of course, the shields installed in these bunkers are usually made to be somewhat thick.

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s physical strength was far beyond the ‘average’ level.

To say that this guy is that tough.

“Is it so bad that it can’t be broken?”

“Not that much, but it would take some time to make a hole big enough for a person to pass through. I think it would take at least a minute.”

“One minute.”

Not a long time though.

In a situation like now, it could also be a critical time.

“Something is strange. Even though it’s a bunker that’s supposed to be prepared for things like nuclear attacks, it’s still this strong.”

Okay then.

Lieutenant Kim Hyun-seok approached the screen and fiddled with the wall as he spoke.

“Is it strange?”

“If it were Gwangil’s fist, it would be able to tear through steel like a sheet of paper, but that strength is so strong that it would be difficult for Gwangil to penetrate it. It would be impossible for an ordinary material to do that, no matter how thick the wall is. This is probably.”

“Is this a shield created by the intervention of the Awakened?”

“It’s highly likely.”

Now that I hear it,

The walls around here, this shielding wall.

It looked quite new for an old bunker facility.

“Maybe they made it new after they took over this place.”

“Even if the number of Awakened is small, there were some. They must have been created by production-oriented Awakened people.”

“It’s not strange that such a substance was created. But.”

Lieutenant Kim Hyeon-seok said that.

He soon frowned and muttered.

“Actually, in the exterior we saw, there was not a single defensive facility made of this material.”

“… … Are you saying that the outside, which is most likely to be attacked by enemies, is blocked off with ordinary walls, and only the inside of the bunker, which is rarely used, is made so sturdy?”

That’s definitely a strange thing.

No matter how much this bunker is their base and last line of defense.

Ultimately, it is the external defense facilities that will see the most fighting.

In that case, it would be right to invest as much as possible in that area.

No matter how important the capital of the Republic of Korea is.

As most of the army’s power is concentrated in the front line, Gangwon Province.

“What on earth is your intention? It’s like.”

Lieutenant Kim Hyeon-seok looked at the wall with an ominous look in his eyes.

“It seems like they expected that there would be those like us trying to escape from the inside… … .”

“… … No way.”

I don’t know what the actual intention was.

As a result, this shield was effectively blocking our escape.

“I’ll try to break it even if it takes some time.”

“Please.”

The moment Private Jeon Gwang-il was about to swing his fist at the shield once more.

[Group 3, enter Area A-6!]

Choaaaak!!!

An electronic sound reverberates throughout the facility.

With that electronic sound, one of the barriers along our path opened.

“Entry complete!”

Soldiers pop out from there.

[From this point on, firepower restrictions are completely lifted. Recognize your enemies as not ordinary humans, but beings with tank-level or even higher defense power and respond accordingly!]

“I hope you all heard the order!”

Those soldiers were different from the ones who had stopped us just before.

It wasn’t just a firearm, it was an ‘anti-tank weapon’.

“firing!”

A soldier aimed a rocket launcher he was carrying on his shoulder at us.

Even if he is Private Jeon Gwang-il, he cannot protect us behind him from the firepower of a rocket.

‘crazy.’

We won’t die, though, since we’re receiving help from the Legion’s equipment.

If you get hit directly by that attack, you’ll take pretty significant damage.

of course.

“I will respond.”

“okay.”

That’s when that rocket reached us.

Crunch.

Private Seo Su-hyeok had his pistol pointed at the rocket launcher from the moment it was pointed at us.

And at that very moment the rocket launched.

Paaaaang!

Taang!

At the same time.

Seo Su-hyeok’s pistol is shaking… … .

That was enough.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

The rockets they launched before they even reached us.

It exploded shortly after leaving the launcher.

“Kuaaaaaaah!!!”

“Ah, it hurts… … !”

Naturally.

It was they, not us, who were caught in the explosion.

This is a situation where we subdued the soldiers who were trying to attack us with just one shot.

It was quite a good performance though.

“you…….”

Actually.

I frowned at the sight.

“You could have taken out the enemy before they fired. You shot late on purpose.”

“… … .”

The rocket’s explosion was burdensome even to an awakened person like me.

What happened to the soldiers of the water defense company who were caught in the explosion?

It went without saying.
