Chapter.7 Masquerade Ball (18)
***
A long time ago, when I did not see people as people.
The battlefield was my school, my playground, and the only place where I could feel alive.
That overwhelming power. A fear that does not distinguish between good and evil. How can you not love that beautiful scream that tears the earth apart? Although Ian is said to have changed as a person after meeting his wife, he still felt a nostalgic feeling when he heard the sound of that tank. Even at this very moment, when shells are flying above his head.
‘Vex will be inside the enemy’s formation, especially near the tank, which is on the tightest guard. When they were being hit by the rail gun, they would have left all the hatches open because they needed to dissipate some of the shock, but now that they had started to advance, they would have closed them tightly like a turtle. ‘Is there anything inside that can be opened to prevent damage?’
I felt like I was back in the old days, running through the battlefield alone like this, leaving behind the guys that were sticking around. Now he fights calmly because of those guys, but his original style was to jump into many situations and turn them upside down like a crazy person.
However, as he was now in a situation where he lacked the supplies to fight like before, Ian walked through the dust of the battlefield and hid in a hole dug by artillery fire, barely getting close enough to see the tank.
The reason that made him anxious from the start.
The reason why he spoke unusually weakly and said something about the will!
“Hyde, that damn parasite kid stole my car… at such an important moment…!”
That’s what he said. Metal Joe-Ian, a spice dealer who roamed the wasteland and jumped into the middle of a group of scavengers and psycho gangs and committed massacre. It was the absence of a vehicle that turned the vehicle into something crawling on the ground like this.
As
the artillery fire fell and the dust flew around, Ian came a little further forward and took a breath, calculating the distance between himself and the enemy’s main base with his eyes.
‘This is the limit. If I get any closer, it will turn into a beehive. No matter how crazy I run, the moment I get noticed by one of those countless mini shooters, I will become minced meat.’
Car! Stealth infiltration is dead and you can’t wake it up, so you have to at least get in quickly, but
my car went to the afterlife with my dad and his head on good terms. I have no choice but to find a new car.
Ian watched the enemies’ movements with sharp eyes. Fortunately, it was a car. There were a lot of them over there.
‘The left and right sides of the tank are planning to move forward quickly and surround the inspectors in a U shape. The T-7 cannot turn, so that is the limit for encirclement and annihilation.’
Familiar tactics in a familiar formation. Thanks to this, I was able to easily read what the weak points were.
‘Because this is a formation to slaughter all the prey that has been caught in the first place. Enemies who enter the siege will not be able to resist much and will be crushed…’
Pakak !
Ian blew off the cap attached to the head of the nearly perfect spherical grenade that he received from the Armory of the Inspection Department. The bright red button that appears when you blow off the plastic cap. I wonder what kind of great maker created this map intuitively. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of
intuitively
. Jet engine. With a sound as if the engine was starting, the grenade in his hand began to vibrate wildly.
The target was two combat vehicles quickly approaching this direction without finding him crawling in the hole dug by the bombing.
Hwiik –
‘The biggest weakness is It’s the cutting edge of the left and right wings that protrudes excessively forward to surround the tank. Even the T-7, which is reviled for being an idiotic tank, can’t blow it up with bullets like this…’
Knock!
It draws a perfect parabola and hits the driver’s seat of one vehicle precisely. A grenade flying towards.
“Hmm? What is this…!”
“Lieutenant! This is Suryu-”
.
.
.
Flash-blink!
Quaaaaaaaaa
!!!
An explosion so large that it was hard to believe it came from a small blue sphere exploded.
***
“Cluck, cluck, cluck!”
The soldier who was thrown out of the car by the explosion ran towards his superior while feeling like his head was going to explode. Although he was a superior who usually hit and cursed at me, I felt a surge of respect for him when I saw him steadfastly maintaining his position even in the midst of the explosion. . We must inform. We must inform the enemy’s attack and call other allies stationed nearby!
“Company Commander Joo! It’s an enemy attack! Car No. 3 has been completely destroyed! Provide support immediately-”
“Oh, yes. I have to go to support, of course.”
Taang!
“I’m volunteering for my friend, so go to the underworld and report to your company commander.”
A grenade named Atom. People who saw it for the first time thought it was named because it resembled a toy, as its blue and round appearance reminded them of the main character of an old cartoon movie. However, the moment they tried it, the idea that it was a toy disappeared.
‘A combat vehicle .’ ‘It’s such a cool thing that it’s enough to blow away a large number of people and still take away the minds of the people next to it.’
Survival of a bomb is not determined simply by whether or not one dies after being hit by it. The roar and shock shake a person’s brain and consciousness. This means that even if one does not faint, one becomes temporarily stupid. The aftermath of
the explosion leaves the opponent defenseless. Wow, a murderer with a machine gun.
Ian had already shot the company commander closest to the radio and cleared out the remaining members.
“Don’t think too badly. We’ll all meet in hell anyway, so there’s no point in fighting over who killed more people. “It’s a bit ugly.”
After a moment of silence, Ian roughly removed the body, then sat in the driver’s seat and placed his hand on the steering wheel.
Sigh.
Haaaaa.
“This is it.”
The feel of the comfortable leather steering wheel. The engine quietly beeping and showing that it is ready to run at any time. The gears are polished and polished. The
moment I sat in the driver’s seat, I couldn’t help but think, ‘I’m back.’
“Hey, girl. Take a drive with me. “Shall we go and come back?”
Buaaaaang! Vroom! Vroom!
“Oh really? You’ll have to be prepared to deal with me? My drive…”
Kagagagagagak-!
“I don’t use the brakes!”
As if responding to Ian’s giggling voice, the combat vehicle spewed out harsh exhaust sounds and rushed forward. The black vehicle that broke away from the formation was headed towards the front of the tank located in the innermost center of the encirclement.
***
Quaaaaang!
A shell ! Falling, cloudy dust fills the windshield. Sand, half-melted by the heat of the explosion, pours out like bullets and makes a sound like falling hail.
‘I can’t clean that with a wiper.’
Kwagagaga M belysa!
Interest!
Shocking on the other side of the vehicle, leaning on the other side of the car and defeating the handle like crazy.It is like a person
.
The drive started at the end of the U-shaped tank formation and went slightly around the outside to the center. Going straight inside would be suicidal. Crossing a line of tanks lined up sideways at close range. That’s not how you commit suicide. The best way is to move in a straight line with the gun and dodge to the left or right. The problem is that there are too many guns, so that is impossible…
‘
You need to return a little aggro.’
If it sticks to the inspection department, which is tightly packed in the center and supported by layered shields, there will be a gap.
Buaaang!
Quaaaang!
A shot landed closer than before. Even though it came back slightly, the hope is that this black vehicle will not be noticed by the enemy. I think he’s too much of a thief…
‘Are you going to shoot me? You’ve got a lot of guts, right? Let’s take a look at how much training kids have these days.’
It’s easier if the enemy recognizes this side. A semi-predictable bombardment is much better than a random bombardment. You can clearly see the insides of the guy riding the tank.
“Hmm~ Hmm~”
It’s a pleasant feeling. Is it because I’m riding a new car? No, it’s better than that. I feel better. I feel like I’m doing something right.
Ian held the steering wheel with one hand and searched the glove box with the other. Raptors always carry a piece of military tape with them as a rule.
‘And that guy from earlier was a sergeant. I called it …. If you had enough to become a sergeant, instead of a military song….’
Dalkak!
‘I’ll put something like this on my back!’
Holes on both sides of a rectangular piece of plastic. It’s a cassette tape.
“It’s funny. These guys who are trying to squeeze people out of their oil are making tapes to listen to music.”
‘Of course, the same goes for the guy who goes straight into the middle of the bombardment and hums that he’s happy to die. Hehehehe!’
Click – Cluck –
Old pop music that comes out as it is gently sucked into the player.
[That’s Life~ that’s what all the people say~]
Quaaaaaang!
The roar of a tank bomb rang out like a chord among the music that seemed to be in the middle of the 1970s.
Buaaaaang. !
A vehicle crossing the uneven battlefield thanks to the shells that fell like hail
[you’re riding high in April Shot down in May~] and
the hopeful voice of a middle-aged man flowing like a story from a completely different world.
“Khehehehe. The nameless sergeant is killing you! “
Buaaaaang!
Shake!
The area around the exosuit unit was encircled by concentrated artillery fire.
The car jumps over the hill of gunfire, Ian
sticks his head out the window to say hello,
and Ezel and Ralph are shocked, pointing with their mouths wide open inside the blue, sparkling shield.
A car with all kinds of debris stuck in it and looking ugly crosses the middle of the battlefield like a joke.
[But I don’t let it let it get me down~]
Kwakagak! Quang!
The closer the enemy lines get, the more precise the bombardment.
The windshield shattered on impact, and molten glass and sand splattered on Ian’s face, but
“Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin’ around~ Wahoo!”
Ian laughed. Surrounded by the sound of the gunfire in the awesome car, he turned towards his dear friend. How can you not be happy when you are running?
“Keuhahaha! Wow! Guess it, you bastards! Guess it!!!”
As the man in the player said, this was his life. Although it may be full of pain, there will be no regrets.
[I pick myself up and get back in the race~!]
Buaaaaaa!
The small belt I took out and put on beforehand. Anne He takes care of it and powers up the latest personal shield, which is said to be one of the few even in the dome, which is said to ‘never die while in operation.’
Ian’s vehicle breaks through artillery fire and runs toward the tank. The target he was keeping his eyes on….
“There. “You in the middle! You haven’t fired a single shot since a while ago!”
The only tank that did not emit smoke from the muzzle. Ian ran at full speed toward the only escape route where he did not have to worry about being hit directly.
“Bad tankers who neglect vehicle maintenance!”
Buaaaaang!
“You have to hit me from behind!”
The bumper of the combat vehicle collided with the huge metal shield that could deflect even a rail gun.
[That’s life!] The
bumper
fell off and the white airbag pushed Ian away while the large wheels of the off-road vehicle touched the shield of the tank –
Gwaaaaaang!
The car flew up the slope of the front armor.
***
Quaaaaaang!
The vehicle flew like a picture and exploded in the middle of the enemy lines. Ian was thrown out with a bluish shield wrapped around him.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I could feel my feet touching the ground. A barrage of bullets rains down before.
“Damn it! They’ve formed a fire net in the middle of our army’s formation…huh?”
He immediately took cover from the barrage of bullets and felt something strange.
In common sense, what he had done was crazy. What kind of crazy person would drive through that killing field with a car and cross the tank line?
It was an impossible situation to predict. But
the enemy had already reacted even before he fell. They formed a fire net aimed at the tank in the middle of our formation, took cover so meticulously that it was almost paranoid, and even installed a mounted machine gun? ‘They were
n’t targeting me. Someone engaged them here first. No, I’m still working on it.’
Above all, there was clear evidence underfoot. Just as he knew from the time he was at the Raptor at his target point, corpses filled the area around the driver’s armored vehicle positioned behind the tank.
“…Hey….”
Bang!
Suddenly, Ian turned his gun as if by lightning at the sound of a voice coming from behind him, and almost dropped the gun.
“It’s late…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrect
!” Vex!”
A familiar voice came out in a weak voice I had never heard before.
Vex is covered in blood, as if protesting that he is the cause of all these corpses.
“you you!!!”
“It happens every time… It’s not mine… It just… stands out…”
“Don’t say it! hey! “Come to your senses! Come to your senses!”
The guy who was shocked by the fact that he was covered in blood after dealing with an enemy, laughed brightly and said that it was not his blood.
Ian hoped so again, but the reality was harsh.
What the enemies were wary of was not him, who had suddenly fallen from the sky, but Vex, who was aiming at the enemies while blocking the intestines flowing from his burst side with his hand.
