The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 422



Only Noblemtl

Episode 422 It was like this last time too.

[Enemies are heading towards C-3. Units on standby, gather nearby!]

The sound of a loudspeaker coming from the ceiling.

Even if we heard it, we thought it wouldn’t mean much to us since they were using words only they would know.

but.

“This is C-3… … .”

As if that was just my thoughts.

Lieutenant Kim Hyeon-seok heard those messages.

“As expected. This is the direction of the escape route.”

“… … .”

“Next, just break the wall over there on the right.”

Without hesitation.

He was guiding us to the escape route.

BANG!!!

Private Seo Su-hyeok’s shot penetrated the wall.

Private Jeon Gwang-il breaks through the weakened wall and advances.

Then, I glanced at Lieutenant Kim.

‘Lieutenant Kim Hyeon-seok… … .’

To be honest.

His abilities as a commander were not all that great.

Its ability as a wide-area buffer is quite good, but… … .

Compared to Jo Beom-seok, who is an Awakened member of the same commanding lineage, he would lack both innate talent and experience.

All we expected from him was his role as a buffer and as a pants president.

“Next, over there!”

but.

That kind of him.

[… … The enemies are moving towards the escape route by the shortest route. The troops waiting on the detour route are moving immediately… … .]

now.

It was guiding us along the shortest route.

‘The information coming from the loudspeaker was limited.’

It’s a story that’s hard to believe, though.

Now, Lieutenant Kim is using that limited information to determine our location.

Furthermore, it meant that he was guiding us by calculating backwards to the escape route.

“Next is over there… … !”

Lieutenant Kim, who was doing the calculations, was breathing heavily as if he was exhausted.

Still, it was clear that it was an absurd ability.

‘If it were normal, I probably wouldn’t have believed it easily even if Lieutenant Kim said to go that way.’

That he is not a very capable person.

Because it was a fact that most of the legion members understood.

‘Even if you later find out that Lieutenant Kim’s words were true… … you’ll be at a loss as to how he knew that.’

Because the Lieutenant Kim we know didn’t have such great abilities.

……but.

“Lieutenant Kim.”

“uh.”

“this…….”

Not now.

“Is that what you said last time?”

“okay.”

A while ago.

After my first meeting in Seoul.

I asked Lieutenant Kim what caused the arbitrary choice he made at the meeting.

‘The reason Lieutenant Kim began to feel ominous about Seoul.’

At that time, Lieutenant Kim gave several reasons.

Among them, there was only one reason that I could understand.

“… … It will be difficult, but please continue.”

“Okay… … I’ll try.”

And the reason is.

It was also related to the ability that Lieutenant Kim was currently demonstrating.

‘Thanks to that, I survived.’

If it weren’t for Lieutenant Kim.

They had no choice but to interrogate the subdued soldiers while feeding them food.

Because we didn’t know which way to escape from here.

Even the soldiers may not know the structure of this complex bunker.

“Almost there!”

Thanks to the efforts of Lieutenant Kim Hyeon-seok.

Just when I thought I was finally on the verge of escaping from this deep underground.

“… … What the heck.”

Standing in the way of that escape route.

There were several humans.

“What was the problem?”

* * *

“What the heck… what was the problem?”

Those who block the escape route.

They were a little different from those who had appeared before.

To put it simply, the equipment was different.

‘I’m not holding a gun.’

Most of Seoul’s electricity comes from non-Awakened people, not Awakened ones.

The firepower of the gun was stronger than that of an average Awakened person, but it was still a sufficiently outstanding force.

It didn’t work that well for our guys.

the other side.

Those who stand in our way now are different.

“Can’t you at least tell me what the problem was?”

-Kkiruk.

Next to the man, translucent birds were fluttering their wings.

… … The man blocking us was the second highest level Awakened man I had ever seen.

It was Jang Young-woong.

“I told you, we don’t know either.”

“You don’t know? That’s a shameless lie.”

I looked around while talking to him.

Besides Jang Young-woong, there were others who stood in our way.

‘The Awakened of Seoul… … .’

There were few Awakeners in Seoul, but they existed.

They are standing in our way now.

And that’s not all.

“Well, we can’t just let it go.”

Crunch… … .

Behind us, soldiers who had been chasing us suddenly began pointing their guns at us.

and.

“Subdue.”

“yes!”

Tadadadadadang!!!

With their guns.

Hwaruk!!!

The skills of the awakened ones.

It fell on us.

“… … Jeon Kwang-il!”

With the awakened ones in front.

Soldiers rushing in from the rear.

“Protect Corporal Shin and Lieutenant Kim!”

“Ugh!”

Attacks from both sides.

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il pushed Lieutenant Kim and me against the wall, then hugged us both in his arms.

Swish… … .

The madness flowing out of the guy’s body.

He blocked me and Lieutenant Kim.

“I can protect you! But then, the fighting!”

“I’m asking the obvious.”

In the words of Private Jeon Gwang-il.

Private Seo Su-hyeok said, aiming the guns in both hands at the enemy.

“I will do it.”

Tadadadadadang!!!

Private Seo Su-hyeok’s shot in the face of enemy attacks.

I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide when I saw the results of that shot.

“… … Private Shin.”

“… … .”

“Please understand.”

Private Seo Su-hyeok’s shots boast an absurdly high killing power.

So strong that if you try to suppress its killing power, his fighting ability itself will be drastically reduced.

Until then, Private Seo Su-hyeok had been the one who had been restricted in his hands at my request.

… … Not now.

“I can’t afford to look at it any longer.”

“……okay.”

If you try to suppress the killing power, the fighting power will decrease drastically.

If you didn’t hesitate to kill, it would be a different story.

“Keuk… … !”

Every time a bullet burst from Private Seo Su-hyeok’s gun.

One at the same time.

No, several lives are lost in an instant.

‘I just wanted to avoid this situation.’

I clenched my teeth.

Looking at that sight, I thought to myself.

‘We are at a disadvantage. Private Seo Su-hyeok’s judgment is… … correct.’

If the only opponents were soldiers with guns.

I guess I could have fought with some leeway.

Things were different now.

‘The only ones who can fight properly on our side right now are Jeon Gwang-il and Seo Su-hyeok.’

the other side.

Over there are soldiers with guns… … .

[Awakened: Jung Yu-Hyeon]

[Explosion Wizard Lv.19]

[Awakened: Kang Taekwang]

[Strike Warrior Lv.20]

Because it included the power of the Awakened Ones.

[Skill – Chain Blast]

Kwaaaaang!!!

Although the number of those Awakened was not large.

It wasn’t that low of a level.

“Behind me!”

Against the attacks of the Awakened.

Private Jeon Gwang-il took the attack on himself, protecting me and Lieutenant Kim.

Private Jeon Gwang-il is a gunman who can withstand even that attack to some extent.

Lieutenant Kim and I were only able to cushion much of the impact with the power of our combat uniforms.

It’s probably going to be a pretty significant hit.

‘Lieutenant Kim and I are non-combatants.’

Although I am contributing to the fight in my own way through the buffs of cooking and commanding.

Excluding that buff, it was actually closer to a burden in its current state.

“Ugh… … !”

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il had to focus entirely on protecting the two of us.

Because of that, I ended up having to take all the enemy’s attacks without even being able to participate in the fight properly.

… … If there is one thing that is fortunate.

Tadadadadadang!!!

“Kekekeke!!!”

Private Seo Su-hyeok.

The point was that they were fighting with overwhelming fighting power.

“What the heck… …! What the heck is that gun!”

“Don’t stick your head out! The moment you stick your head out, you die!”

On someone’s orders.

The soldiers quickly hid their heads behind cover.

Taang!

“… … Correction! You’ll die even if you don’t stick your head out!”

“You’re hitting people through walls… Are you seeing through things?”

“You’re like a crazy monster… …!”

Private Seo Su-hyeok’s bullet pierced through the cover.

They were slaughtering soldiers as if they could see what was behind them.

“Then what do you want me to do!”

“Just fight back! Even if you hide, you’ll still die! The best way is to subdue them quickly!”

The killing power of Private Seo Su-hyeok, who authorized the killing, was beyond imagination.

Even though the soldiers kept coming in endlessly.

Before new troops could be replenishment, Private Seo Su-hyeok was killed by bullets.

but…….

‘There must be a limit to that too.’

Private Seo Su-hyeok’s firepower is only effective while the resource called bullets is maintained.

Although it did appear that he was using his bullets as efficiently as possible, such as piercing several people with a single shot.

As the number of enemies increases, the bullet limit will soon be reached.

furthermore.

‘No matter how great an Awakener Private Seo Su-hyeok is.’

I turned my gaze away.

I looked at the man watching us from afar with his arms crossed.

[Jang Young-woong]

[Lv.34 Information Agent]

‘That person too, is an Awakened person in their mid-level 30s.’

As the level of the Awakened increases, the gap between them also increases.

Seo Su-hyeok was also a strong player with skills that did not match his level 30.

I wasn’t sure if it would be stronger than an Awakened player in their mid-level 30s.

‘If the author sets out to subdue Seo Su-hyeok in earnest… … .’

Even if Jeon Gwang-il joins the battle, I honestly didn’t know if we would be able to win.

at last.

To get through this place easily, there are two ways.

“Oh, shit.”

Use the guards in the shadows… … or…

Or.

“I tried to refrain from doing things that are bad for my health.”

Two non-combatants.

Only about one of them was active as a combat agent.

* * *

It would be better if they were all monsters or clear enemies.

I would have pulled out the power from the shadows without hesitation.

‘Except for what that Jang Young-woong guy is hiding… …the rest of the characters seem like ordinary people.’

We are going through this battle right now.

A ‘human’ who might become an ally someday.

It was impossible to bring out the power in the shadows that had to be kept secret.

The moment you take it out, all the witnesses will have no choice but to deal with it.

“Gwangil-ah,”

“Sergeant Shin?”

I pushed away the body of Private Jeon Gwang-il, who was protecting me and Lieutenant Kim.

He said, peeking through the gap.

“I appreciate your consideration, though.”

“… … !”

“I guess I’ll have to go for a spin, too.”

I put my hand inside her bosom.

I put a piece of food in my mouth.

‘Within reason, do the bare minimum.’

[Blue water drop-]

[I am suffering from serious aftereffects! Additional buffs will have a negative effect on my healing… … .]

What I ate was ‘water drop’ jelly.

The effect was [environmental assimilation].

“Poem, Corporal Shin!”

Swish… … .

A body that becomes completely transparent and blends in with its surroundings.

Even Private Jeon Gwang-il couldn’t find my exact figure.

Squeak… … .

of course.

The side effects came immediately.

I could clearly feel the creaking of every joint in my body.

‘Anyway, it’s hard to fight properly with my current physical condition. In that case.’

I thought as I moved as fast as I could with that body.

‘All we can do is a surprise attack.’

Surprise attacks using [Environmental Fairy Tales] have always been effective.

Just as I had been protected in the arms of Private Jeon Gwang-il until just a moment ago.

Most of my enemies probably don’t even realize that I suddenly disappeared.

The only effective attack I can make now is a surprise first attack… … .

Still.

[Soul-melting poison – Nepenthes]

That one attack.

It will never be weak.

‘Once in a while. If so.’

With that in mind.

I am the first person to be eliminated.

‘I’m sorry, but can you step aside for a moment… .’

Towards Jang Young-woong, the man who had been watching this fight from afar.

He swung the two daggers he was holding in his hands.

“…okay.”…

……however.

“It was like this last time too.”

A surprise attack while hiding your body through environmental fairy tales.

The surprise attack that I expected to be perfect.

-Kaang!

“!?”

It bounced off the weapon swung by Jang Young-woong.

‘what!?’

I couldn’t help but be astonished.

“A sudden surprise attack that occurs when you are out of sight.”

It was an attack that had always been effective against opponents stronger than me.

“This time, I didn’t participate in the battle and just watched, thinking I wouldn’t miss it… … but the stealth was so advanced that I couldn’t find it.”

Even though he is a strong player in his mid-30s.

I thought the first blow would definitely work.

“If you didn’t know that there was a surprise attack coming from the lower right… … .”

To stop that.

That too… … .

“I’m sure I’d get scammed again.”

like.

Where will my attacks come from… … .

As if I knew it in advance.
