[We pay for the labor you provide . Whatever it is, whether it is money, there is a give and take . ]
Cha Jun Sung cannot refute Odin’s logic . Even if they are as sneaky as he thinks they are, those words are the truth . Lifers are the ones who make the choices regarding Life Mission, whether they live or die .
There are people who were unable to endure the aftereffects of the mission, and completely returned to life in reality . They can live comfortably with the points they have saved up . Since they quit Life Mission, there is no reason for them to care what is going on inside the game . Give up if you don’t like it, is the helpers’ stance .
Cha Jun Sung decided to just pass over this issue . It will not be resolved by arguing over it, and he has no thoughts of giving up any time soon .
Boom boom boom boom!
As he was talking to Odin, White Queen and Cruel King continued fighting . It has not been long since they started fighting, so they are at their peaks . The level 8s are doing their best as well . If he can take all of this to reality, it will become a great help . He is basically risking his life to film this . If he is discovered, he could die .
Bang bang bang bang!
“The pattern changed . Huh? Huh? What? Don’t come this way . Go away!”
The battle changed . It is still close range, but the battle range expanded . They are using their heads to reduce the damages and increase gains . Cruel King focused on defense to minimize being wounded, and White Queen withstood attacks like a mountain and became aggressive by using her sword as a shield . They supplemented the parts they fell short in . He thought he had avoided the expanding combat range, but the mutants were looking for an escape route and gathered in a forest across from the hill Cha Jun Sung was on .
“Damn it!”
Cha Jun Sung looks behind him . There is a place to hide if he retreats a few kilometers . He wondered whether he should hide or not, but decided to stay in place .
A tremendous number of mutants are coming at him, but not a single one is fine . Most are levels 1 and 2, and the middle and higher level ones have less influence . The level 7s do their level worth and withstand the attacks without retreating much . He can handle as much .
Ping!
Cha Jun Sung took a robot camera out of his space compression bag, set it up unattended shooting on his subjects, and flew into the air . It is a cheap item . He had purchased it thinking that he might need it in the future and left it, but he didn’t think he would end up using it like this . The robot camera films battles through dozens of lenses . Cha Jun Sung has the first part . He can film the rest with that .
Cha Jun Sung retreated from the hill and then installed an automatic cannon . He has plenty of ammunition . If he does not let it crash, it will kill mutants until it runs out of ammunition . Cha Jun Sung took out a reinforced rifle and periodic machine gun as well . This is the base . He will stop them from a distance .
“The other guys won’t be able to come here, so I’ll hold you off . ”
He is talking about Lifers and top level mutants . As long as there is no external interference, he can protect himself even if he needs to run away .
“Come!”
The automatic cannon and reinforced rifle attack incoming mutants randomly . There is no reason to aim anywhere specific . If he pulls the trigger in a general area, any one of the mutants is shot and falls back . When the levels 1 to 2 stick together a few are shot at the same time . Middle and high class mutants were also wounded so badly they could not regenerate, and fell back .
[Establishment of special mission activation conditions . ]
[Level B Advancement Mission: Restriction Line] [Goal: Annihilation]
[Description: Mutants are escaping the battlefield to avoid becoming collateral in the fight between White Queen and Cruel King . The creatures living in Africa and Europe include the elite of competent creatures . Reducing the numbers will help with the cleanup that is sure to follow . This is a personal mission given to Lifer Cha Jun Sung, so make your current location the restriction line and annihilate all of the mutants that push through this way . ] [Reward: 50,000,000 points . Lucky box . ]
Cha Jun Sung was not surprised even though he had gotten a special mission, and a level B advancement mission at that . There are a lot of mutants, but not so many that he would not be able to handle it .
The only unexpected aspect is that is it a personal mission . Is it because he entered alone?
Boom boom!
Bombs detonate and kill dozens of mutants at a time . There is only so much he can do to guard the restriction line with just a gun . A wide-range attack is best to create a large impact . He wanted to use white phosphorus shells and cluster bombs if he could, but he does not have the launchers .
Click!
Cha Jun Sung quickly changed the reinforced rifle’s magazine . The ammunition for the automatic cannon is attached in a line, so it will keep firing until it runs out of ammunition even if he does not keep loading it up . It was taking care of 500 mutants per minute . Though the mutants are lower level, it is not easy to guard the restriction line . No matter how strong Cha Jun Sung is, he only has 2 hands . It is inevitable that he is pushed back .
“Ah, I don’t know . We’ll see how it works out . ”
Cha Jun Sung took out a cluster bomb . It is something that all of the party members bought one or two of, but they have not tried using it yet . He is going to do something a little crazy .
The cluster bomb rolls on the ground . Cha Jun Sung recovered his automatic cannon and dropped a gas shell next to the cluster bomb .
Then he ran for his life . He does not know whether it will detonate or not without firing it . He has never tried it before . That is why this is crazy . Who would set that off on the ground and run away? Cha Jun Sung’s brain structure has turned strange while going through missions .
[Strengthen battlesuit outer armor! Overbooster in full operation! Expected radius of explosion 350 to 400 meters . Countdown 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 . Prepare for impact!]
Bang!
Bang bang bang bang!
It exploded . Cha Jun Sung ran and soared into the sky . Since it exploded below, the entire ground became a full storm of dust .
The power of the cluster bomb going off in one place instead of scattering was incredible . Mutants trying to get past the restriction line disappeared as they dissolved into particles . So many points came in it was impossible to count how many had died .
It would be better to see the total count later . A mushroom cloud grows larger with the cluster bomb’s explosion as it **** in the surrounding air . The nearby area becomes a vacuum . It is so large that it is visible from dozens of kilometers away . How much more intensified would it be for mutants nearby? The attention of mutants and Lifers alike went to the explosion radius .
A bullet penetrates the head of a mutant that is barely breathing . The last, so one of thousands of mutants, collapsed .
“How is that… . . ”
“Incredible . ”
A 100 person full force watches the mushroom cloud over them . It is too far for a human to see clearly, but it was made possible by the telescope built into their battlesuits . A fair amount of time has passed since they entered, but they witnessed the scene toward the end of their mission . An explosion so great they can see it from far away . It is without a doubt a trace left by levels C and B Lifers .
“I don’t understand . ”
“It seems most of the focus was on Africa . We’re also encountering an abnormally large amount of Lifers… We’ll know for sure once we go back to reality . ”
Like Cha Jun Sung, these Lifers got the vague idea that the mission was focused on Africa . There were a lot of Lifers they ran into while wandering around as well . This world is a giant mission area . Each of their missions are different, but there is a chance that they will run into each other because they are linked . But it was once in a while and impossible to run into each other several times in a few days .
During the 2 weeks they went through this level C mission, they passed 11 Lifer crowds . Normally, this would never happen . When they go back to reality, there will be debates surrounding this phenomenon . They asked their helpers, but the helpers remained consistently silent . There is no reason for the World Federation or guilds to go through great lengths to find out what is going on . They can draw a plausible picture by combining the bits and pieces of information that Lifers offer up .
“What would you like to do? Would you like to go?”
“I would go if it were close, but it’s so far I don’t want to . Let’s just go back since we’ve completed our mission . Unnecessary curiosity doesn’t do any good for our life spans . ”
He decided to forget about the mushroom cloud with the far distance with an excuse . Nothing will happen because they did not go see what that is about . It is best just to do what they came to do . They went back without regrets, but they were not the only Lifers who had seen the mushroom cloud . They were just a few, the tip of the iceberg .
A few chose to return as well, but Lifers who were relatively close, overridden with curiosity, or confident in their abilities left their mission areas to check on what happened . The number of these people were in the hundreds of thousands, so additional special missions were created . Of course the Lifers would not know what they had seen and what they would experience until they got within proximity .
