Episode 136 [ Cataclysm (2) ]
Boom!
The lead tank burst into flames.
Wow!
A huge brown bear came out through the flames.
It was a brown bear about half the size of a tank. Just looking at its size was enough to call it a monster.
However, what destroyed the tank was the brown bear’s long, protruding claws.
It was a claw that split the tank and even exploded the charge inside the tank.
The sharp red claws clearly showed the characteristics of this monster.
The brown bear’s entire body was scorched red by the flames, but there were no injuries. A subtle protective shield surrounded the monster’s entire body.
Quang!
The high explosive bomb hit the brown bear that destroyed the lead tank.
Flames erupted again, but the monster brown bear was fine.
“Switch to flying bullets! “High explosive bombs can’t penetrate that barrier!”
Platoon leader Li Shiqian shouted into the communicator.
The brown bear monster was already running toward its next target.
The tanks were maneuvering like crazy, but they could not escape the brown bear monster.
-shit! I never dreamed that I would fire a bullet at a live animal!
Quang!
The commander of another tank said something like a joke and fired a tank gun.
Swish. bang!
But the monster dodged the incoming shells.
-This is nonsense!
With those last words, the next tank was torn to pieces.
Kwaaaaang!
Leaving the tank engulfed in flames behind, the brown bear-like monster headed straight for the next tank.
“Shoot quickly!”
Platoon leader Li Shiqian raised his voice.
bang!
The next tank also fired its guns in a hurry, but it was a gun made with the assumption of tank warfare.
I couldn’t hit the monster that was making ridiculous movements.
As it was, there was no way to hit the monster. The monster had to be stopped.
A communication was received from the platoon commander. It was a communication from a tank that was the monster’s next target.
-I will stop it. Hit it right away!
“No!’’
The platoon leader’s shouts were of no use.
The tank running backwards suddenly reversed its engine.
Kwagwagwagwa!
The tank jumped forward. The tank ran towards the approaching monster.
The monster was unable to avoid the sudden twist.
Kuang!
The monster and the tank collided head-on.
Gya gya gya gya.
The caterpillar spun around like crazy, pushing the monster.
Perhaps thanks to the difference in weight, the monster was pushed back.
But that was only the first few seconds. The monster’s claws pierced through the steel plates of the tank.
The driver was pierced by the claws and died instantly, and the tank came to a halt.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
The machine gun continued to hit the brown bear monster, but could not penetrate its defense shield.
The monster ignored the machine gun fire and started tearing the tank to pieces again.
At that moment,
“Fire!”
The platoon leader’s tank, which had turned to the side, fired a gun.
Quang!
Hitting a stationary target was not difficult for a 3rd generation tank.
The shell hit the monster’s side exactly.
Kwasik!
Unlike high-explosive bombs, armor-piercing bombs composed only of physical energy pierced the monster’s defense shield.
The armor-piercing bullet went through the side of the monster and came out the other side.
Phew!
Although it was a monster that destroyed three tanks in an instant, it could not live with a huge hole in its body.
thud!
The monster collapsed to the ground.
“Target silence. Dead…”
After a while, the gunner opened his mouth.
The platoon leader opened the tank’s cupola with a stern expression. The round lid opened and Li Shiqian leaned out of the tank. Burning. The
platoon
members’ tank was on fire. Their flesh was burning. The smell filled him.
He looked around with a bewildered face.
The platoon survived except for his tank. It was the work of a single mutant monster. It
made no sense. There was no way the mutant monster could have been this strong.
But the surrounding His appearance showed that this was reality.
His platoon was not the only tank destroyed. More than a dozen tanks were scattered across the field. The
tank battalion was annihilated.
Wow!
Most of the tanks were still on fire, and some were still there. They were fighting monsters.
Corpses of monsters were also scattered across the field. But the corpses were only weak monsters that looked like deer. The
brown bear-class monsters that destroyed the platoon were barely visible. Those monsters were already chasing after the main camp.
-The regiment headquarters was destroyed by the monster’s surprise attack. Join the headquarters division as quickly as possible. The gathering place is Changchun!
Li Shiqian gritted his teeth at the sound coming from the radio.
The party was wrong. North Korea and Russia were right. Now. This was not the time for humans to fight among themselves.
Even if he had listened to them and prepared properly.
The army that was supposed to protect the people was being bitten by monsters in the wrong place.
With a stern face, he gave an order.
“Let’s go. To Changchun.”
The tank departed alone to the west,
leaving behind broken tanks.
***
The monsters that attacked the Northern Theater’s return, especially the flanks of the 80th Army Group, were monsters that came down from the Daxing’anling Mountains, a huge mountain range on the border between Russia and China. Untouched by humans
. It was a huge mountain range the size of an untouched country. Until now, monsters had not descended, so it did not attract the attention of the Chinese government.
However, this cataclysm was no exception.
Waves occurred in almost all natural areas untouched by humans.
Each country was pushed back . They began to fight against the approaching monsters. Along
the Yalu River.
North Korean soldiers stationed at the border were also pouring shells at the monsters.
Kwagwagwanggwang!
The shells pouring out of the long-range artillery were turning the Yalu River beyond into a swampy field.
Smoke. A monster’s scream was heard as the flames soared.
Unlike the Chinese army, which retreated after suffering a heavy blow, the North Korean army was doing well in blocking the monster’s advance.
However, the atmosphere at the field headquarters was not good.
“The area around the Duman River was destroyed with the help of the Russian army. “We are maintaining a stable defense.”
“A significant number of monsters are staying in Manchuria and attacking the city. There are also a significant number of monsters that have chased after the retreating Northern Warlords.”
Despite the positive reports from his subordinates, Captain Lee Seong-hyuk’s expression did not brighten.
“It’s so hard to deal with the leftovers.”
He sighed as he looked at the battlefield. Although
the troops and equipment along the cease-fire line and in each region were carefully deployed, it was not easy to hold on. More
than half of the most useful long-range artillery pieces were broken, and most of the artillery pieces brought were unusable.
For the rest, it was even worse. They couldn’t even dream of air force support, and a huge number of soldiers fell behind while marching. I
rushed to the scene to raise the morale of the soldiers, but all I could see was the dark reality of my country.
“It seems like firepower is still working. …”
According to the information obtained from the retreating Chinese army, it seemed that there were monsters that could not penetrate the defense shield unless they were hit with armor-piercing shells. If
such monsters arrived here, there was no guarantee that they would be able to maintain the defense line.
Unlike the Chinese army, the North Korean tanks were It was manual fire. It was impossible to follow the monsters’ movements. In addition, most of them were 12th generation tanks that had difficulty with armor to withstand them. Even if there were
many capable Awakened people left, I didn’t know what they could do, but most of the Awakened people were killed by the former dictator.
Firepower already . This hole was starting to open and many soldiers were being killed and injured.
“I think we will have to pull back the defense line little by little. The artillery shells we brought will run out soon. We are continuing to transport them, but it seems difficult to get there on time.”
Gradually, the staff began to make realistic suggestions.
He too had the same thought.
Even if a powerful monster did not appear, it would be difficult to continue holding on without support.
“Retreat… I guess that’s a good thing.”
Lieutenant General Lee Seong-hyeok clicked his tongue as he watched the North Korean mission.
Unlike the red-colored Yalu River, the North Korean land was clean.
Unlike Manchuria, which was a mess of monsters, there was no wave-level rioting in the North Korean land. To that extent, animals and forests This was because there were no left.
“Support is late.”
“I don’t know if this is only doing good things for South Korea.”
Among the worried staff members, a staff member was seen secretly expressing his dissatisfaction
. General Lee Seong-hyuk glared at him. Unlike the previous leader, General Lee Seong-hyuk treated people gently, but he was also a dictator at his core. “
Now we are fighting like this to protect South Korea .” “Is it there? Is it just South Korea behind us? Can’t we even see the people and families at home?”
“I’m sorry.”
He was yelling at his subordinates, but he was just as frustrated.
While he was sighing inwardly, the signal soldier quickly shouted,
“A monster has appeared on the banks of the Yalu River! The fire net has been breached!”
Bad predictions always seemed to come true sooner than expected.
Lee Seong-hyuk and the generals at the field headquarters quickly took out their telescopes.
Monsters were popping out of the smoke and flames .
A monster resembling a brown bear. A monster resembling a wolf. A white half-moon shape on its chest. There was also a monster in the shape of a huge bear with fur.
There weren’t many monsters that escaped the fire net. But the problem was that they escaped. And
behind the monsters, a huge four-legged beast appeared. It was like a tiger that had grown into a giant one and then returned in a hideous form. It was a monster that looked as if it had been created.
Kwaaaa!
The monster arrived at the riverside and let out a scream, causing the river to tremble.
The soldiers of the machine gun unit and tank unit positioned on the riverside turned white, and the generals at headquarters also lost their blood. I lost.
Then the monsters began to cross the river.
Other monsters began to swim at incredible speeds, and the tiger-like monster ran on the river as if it were running on land.
“Stop!”
The generals shouted at radio operators, and tanks and mortars set up on the riverside hit the monsters crossing the river, but it was no use. The generals fell into a
panic. They weren’t people who got this excited about something like this, but they lost their senses at the monster’s screams a little while ago. It was lost.
General Lee Seong-hyeok did not calm the generals down.
Instead, he looked back.
Doo doo doo doo.
A helicopter was flying from afar. It was a helicopter with a moving symbol on the side.
-Chijijik… I’m here! It’s not too late, right?
A young woman’s voice came from the radio. It was a voice that did not fit the battlefield.
But not only Captain Lee Seong-hyuk but also the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Da-hee’s voice.
Just hearing her voice made me nervous. was released.
The lead helicopter flew into the headquarters and landed in front of the barracks.
Dahee was waving behind the open helicopter door.
She looked around at the generals in the headquarters and closed her eyes.
Paang!
Mana drained from her. It spewed out.
The mana that spewed out from the helicopter spread throughout the troops lined up on the riverside.
It was not strong mana. It was not mana that could cause visible miracles like before.
However, all the soldiers who were terrified at the sight of the rushing monster came to their senses. It was possible.
Captain Lee Seong-hyeok and the generals rushed to the helicopter.
The helicopter had not yet arrived on the ground, but Da-hee jumped down.
It looked different than before.
“I came to keep my promise. Where is the patient?”
Everyone was confused by her words. Now was not the time to look for a patient.
Captain Lee Seong-hyuk asked as the representative,
“Aren’t the other awakened people here with you?”
“I came. “It’s over there.”
Dahee pointed to the sky.
Other helicopters were flying toward the Yalu River.
“Did Kay come with you too?”
The expressions on the generals’ faces became confused as they heard Captain Lee Seong-hyuk’s words.
It was because although he was the person I really needed right now, he was also the person I didn’t want to see. He was scared.
Dahee pointed below the helicopter.
“You jumped there?”
A person was falling from a helicopter flying in front.
It was a man holding a Samjeongsword in his hand and wearing sunglasses with a pattern on them.
He was falling on monsters running over the Yalu River.
The monster screamed at the sky.
Wow!
The waves rippled and the mana spread.
But to Kyung-hoon, it was just meaningless.
However, Kyung-Hoon was worried about something else.
“There’s no need for a test, right?”
-That’s enough. The simulation was completed with 100,000 mana runs. Although it cannot be used often, it is not difficult at all for the owner’s body.
“Eve, you are the problem more than me!”
-I can use it more than 10 times with my mana stones. After that, you can replace the mana stone.
“They talk about changing mana stones easily.”
The two chatted as they fell toward the Yalu River.
Anyway, this was what Eve confirmed.
“It’s going great!”
Kyung-Hoon poured mana into the sword he was holding. The symbol of the Samjeonggeom began to glow brightly.
Kyung-Hoon’s mana began to be sucked into the sword like crazy.
Then Eve opened her mouth.
-Start support.
The cell phone in my inner pocket began to emit heat.
At the same time, mana was pushed out through the line connected to the cell phone terminal.
Mana flowed along the lines and gathered into Gyeonghun’s gloves holding the sword.
The mana that passed through the armor poured into the Samjeonggeom.
The Samjeonggeom began to glow brightly.
“That’s amazing!”
-It’s just a copy of what Shane made. It’s all thanks to Shane.
Eve said it was thanks to Shane, but now Kyung-hoon wanted to praise Eve.
There was no other reason why she wanted Shane to teach her the technique. It was to use the technique of the sealed Samjeonggeom.
But the praise had to end here.
The enemy has come before our eyes.
“Go!”
-Maximum mana injection! Activates!
Hwaaaaaaa!
A tremendous amount of light emanated from the sword.
Buuuuung.
Gyeonghoon swung his sword.
A storm poured out from the sword.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwa!
It was a storm with hundreds and thousands of sharp claws.
The storm swept over the monster looking up and split the river.
Fuaaaaaa!
The river rose into the sky along with the monster’s corpse.
Everyone looked at the Yalu River with dumbfounded faces.
At the beginning of the cataclysm, item overcharge technology finally appeared in this world.
