For some reason, the situation seemed urgent, so Sang-woo and other trainees hurriedly gathered at the parade ground.
[As of the current time, a monster disaster warning has been activated in Daejeon. Since we will be put into the field right away, trainees, please do not relax and follow the instructions and controls.] It
turned out that the real situation had occurred.
That is why it was immediately put into practice.
Originally, it was standard practice not to send trainees into operations if possible, but hunters are originally people whose main job is to fight monsters.
Therefore, it was not unreasonable to put them into actual combat right away, so if a situation occurred nearby at the Army Training Center, they would be immediately put in and practiced.
This is because these achievements are accumulated and become a merit and lead to promotion.
‘Bad luck. I was put in while training.’
Of course, it was rare to receive training as an ordinary trainee and then be put into service.
But maybe it’s bad luck, Sang-woo is in the ranks of that minority.
and after a while
A military transport truck arrived and started moving the trainees.
Sang-woo sighed and climbed into the truck following Kang Jun-young, who was standing in front of him.
* * *
Jung Hoon-cheol, head of the Army Training Center.
With short hair that had turned gray before he knew it, he was on his way to the disaster site in an old Retona.
‘They say that hunter trainees are leaving… But since it’s an external event, I’ll have to see it myself.’
He didn’t want to go, but armed with a military spirit, he would rather die than evade responsibility or back down.
Yes.
He was a true soldier.
Until the cataclysm occurred, he was the elite of the elite who had graduated from the Military Academy and had been promoted rapidly while taking the elite course commissioned as an officer.
However, after the cataclysm erupted, his colorful military life was thrown into the gutter.
‘What is his awakening? grunt.’
He was an undisciplined common man.
However, armed with a soldier’s spirit, he did not retreat an inch in dealing with monsters and was able to survive the cataclysm with the scars of glory.
As time passed, his rank became Major General.
And the position was assigned to the Army Training Center.
‘…yes, it’s just a job with a plausible name. Huh… It’s not long before I’m discharged.’
It was bittersweet.
The saying that the military is also a class system is now an old saying.
Right now, even though he is a major general, he is hit here and there by juniors from Awakeners.
‘Especially the 13th Brigade Commander Park Moo-sik.
Colonel Park Moo-sik, commander of the 13th Airborne Special Forces Brigade.
Park Moo-sik, commonly known as the commander of the Black Panthers.
Despite being a colonel, he was in charge of the brigade commander of the 13th Airborne Special Forces Brigade, Korea’s best special forces unit composed of awakened people.
Seeing that a brigade commander is usually assigned to a brigadier general, a rank immediately below a major general, it was clear that he was a very unusual case.
And apart from class, he was also a distant junior of Jeong Hoon-cheol.
But is it because it is a world where power becomes power?
Jung Hoon-cheol has never been treated properly by Park Moo-sik.
The only thing that always came back was a cold sneer.
All because he wasn’t an Awoken.
‘What am I willing to endure such an insult in order to enjoy wealth and honor? haha.’
While looking at the scenery outside the car window with a bittersweet smile mixed with self-deprecation.
Retona arrived at the site of the monster disaster that occurred in the Great War.
‘You haven’t arrived yet. I’ll finish this time before the trainees arrive.’
Trainees who should have departed from the army training center have not yet arrived at the site.
This time, it was around the time Jeong Hun-cheol thought that the situation would be sorted out by civilian hunters and special forces even before the actual combat training.
‘…hmm?’
Jung Hun-cheol felt that something was going on in a strange way.
Fortunately, the site was a flat field lined with rice fields outside of Daejeon, and a giant snail the size of a building was crawling there.
Jung Hoon-cheol knew the monster very well.
Because I was really tired of watching Cataclysm.
‘Escargot….’
Escargot (snail).
It was literally a monster that looked like a snail.
The problem is that the outer shell is very hard and the body is like slime, so it digests everything it touches, and
most of all, it is blatantly-
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!!!”
It was said that the lightning attack fired from the two antennae when angry was quite tricky.
The lightning from Escargot’s antennae destroyed a hunter’s body.
It appeared to be a hunter belonging to a private guild, not a member of the military.
“Minseok!”
“Put heels on!”
In the midst of the confusion, Escargot fired lightning at the surroundings, as if something was very upset.
It was literally lightning. The hunters
who fall down
in an
instant
at the moment the light flashes.
The speed of the attack was so great that it seemed impossible to dodge it.
“damage!”
“How can I avoid that!”
“Medicine!”
The scene turned into a total mess.
Seeing this, Jung Hoon-cheol grew angry.
“Who touched Escargot’s antennae!”
In fact, unlike his current great prestige, Escargo was a B-class monster.
The reason was that Escargo was quite easy to catch because it moved slowly and was not aggressive.
As long as you don’t touch the antennae.
‘If you attack the antennae first, it’ll shoot electricity like that and make it glow. I don’t even know this basic information, and these are…’
Jeong Hoon-cheol was angry, but calmly looking for reason, he rode the Retona and stepped back from the scene a little.
While looking around quickly, he saw soldiers who seemed to belong to the 13th Airborne Special Forces Brigade Black Panthers running away in a hurry around Escargo.
Soldiers who are supposed to protect the country run away.
Besides, isn’t the direction Escargo is headed toward Daejeon City?
Jeong Hoon-cheol, who was captivated by that appearance, had the driver stop the Retona and kicked out the car door.
“Don’t back down! You’re not going to stop Escargot!”
However, the panic-stricken soldiers fled past Jeong Hoon-cheol in their special forces uniforms.
Like awakened superhumans, their movements were very quick.
If you saw this in other countries, there was no disgrace like this.
Puck-
In addition, one soldier pushed Jung Hun-cheol, who was standing still, and ran away.
Jung Hoon-cheol collapsed on the floor at the shock.
It didn’t hurt that much.
I wasn’t even angry.
I was just dumbfounded and scared again.
‘The soldier’s spirit must be like this.’
If another cataclysm strikes, will his country be able to prepare?
That worry and anxiety lifted the old soldier to his feet.
Because he remembered what he had to do and could do.
‘Turn the direction.’
Jung Hun-cheol quickly got on the Retona again.
Fortunately, his trusty driver, Sergeant Kim, did not leave his seat and was holding onto the steering wheel.
“Sergeant Kim! Drive behind Escargot!”
“It’s too dangerous, Warden!”
“Ugh! Follow orders!”
“…yes! All right!”
Sergeant Kim skillfully turned the steering wheel and drove Retona behind Escargo.
Boo Woong-
Ki-Ki-
Retona, who arrived completely behind, was close to Escargo’s back.
Although very slow for its size, Escargot is moving at the pace of an adult.
I could see the unprotected back of his shell.
Jung Hoon-cheol lowered the retona window and took out the pistol he had been wearing in his pants.
bang! bang! bang! Bang-
Then, without hesitation, he fired a pistol at Escargo’s back.
Compared to its gigantic size, it is a weak attack.
Not even blood was splattered.
But was the attack quite annoying?
Escargo began to slowly turn his body back toward Daejeon City to check the presence that attacked his back.
Leurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Escargo rotated his body as if sliding.
Its long neck pointed directly at Jeong Hun-cheol, and before long, its two antennae moved.
Jeong Hoon-cheol did not avoid it and fired his pistol until he had run out of bullets.
bang! bang! bang! Clack-clack-
Empty magazine.
And Escargot’s antennae lit up brightly in an instant.
A scene just before lightning strikes.
Hoon-cheol Jeong realized that this was the last moment of the moment.
‘…Still, I bought time.’
It was a time when I was trying to calmly accept death, feeling that one was enough.
Aaaa Ah-Ah-
The huge fire pillar from the sky was penetrated at once from the head of Escargo to the shell.
The heat was so great that Jeong Hoon-cheol’s face began to heat up as if he had been burned, even though he was quite far from the flame.
The stream of fire lasted about 2-3 seconds like that.
Then, as if it had appeared, the fire disappeared.
‘I bought it.’
All that remains is the corpse of the giant Escargot.
Jeong Hoon-cheol groped his body, as if he couldn’t believe that Escargo was dead and that he was fine.
Both arms and legs were intact.
“Chief! Are you all right!”
And Sergeant Kim, who was riding the Retona, approached and looked at him worriedly.
“I am fine. Rather, just that attack. Where did the attack come from?”
“yes. There it is.”
Sergeant Kim pointed to one place.
There, a man in an army combat uniform was busy treating the wounded.
[Recovery]
[Water Healing]
[Great Healing]
A young man who uses various recovery skills that would be difficult for anyone else to use.
It was Sangwoo.
‘Why don’t you come like this? It’s slow and explodes.’
He was riding a transport truck and saw the urgent scene with his primitive skills, so he jumped out of the car and ran first.
Afterwards, he treated Escargo with the Nuclear Laser in just 3 seconds and was currently treating the injured.
And Jung Hoon-cheol looking at Sang-woo.
His face was the talk of the town, and Jeong Hoon-cheol knew it well.
‘Extraordinarily good-looking face and solid physique… Did you say Jeong Sang-woo?’
I remembered that I was reported as a special case because I was the only A-class hunter among the enlistment candidates this time.
It was a hopeless scene where everyone just ran away in fear.
But even in the midst of it, there was hope.
It was the man in front of me.
“…That young man is the future of our country.”
A faint smile spread across Jung Hoon-cheol’s lips.
* * *
The incident in which Escargo appeared ended well without any major damage.
Since most of the people who were directly hit by lightning were hunters, most of them recovered with the healing skill, except for one fatality who died instantly.
But there were some aftershocks.
-The escargot that occurred in the outskirts of Daejeon is a rare B-class monster that has not appeared in Korea for a long time. It is known as an easy monster to hunt because of its slow movements compared to its huge size. However, it is a monster that needs attention as it fires lightning when attacking its antennae and becomes very aggressive. However, there were casualties during the suppression of this monster disaster. It is said that the reason is because it attacked the antennae. So who attacked the antennae?
-Reporter Kim Moon-seok, has the cause of the cause been identified?
-yes. Currently, a video of the Boatman Guild filming the scene at the time has been released. Look at the data screen.
As soon as the reporter stopped talking, a video clip of Escargo’s hunting right before it went off flashed on the screen.
While the hunters belonging to the boatman’s guild, which was closest to the site, are walking around Escargo and attacking the belly part that touches the ground step by step.
Members of the 13th Airborne Special Warfare Brigade, wearing black combat uniforms with a black mark on their forearms, who appeared a little later, raised their guns to Escargo’s head and began firing magic bullets.
And Matan hit not only Escargo’s head, but also his antennae.
It is a situation where the fault of the Black Panthers is clear to anyone.
-After that, Escargo, who fell into a state of rage, poured out indiscriminate attacks. While all the hunters were running away, Major General Jeong Hoon-cheol, known as the current army training center director, directly drew Escargo’s attention, while Jung Sang-woo Hunter, who was currently enrolled in the army training center and was a trainee, stepped in and finished it off. In other words, it solved a situation that could easily spread into international disgrace.
-If you’re Hunter Jeong Sang-woo, are you the Hunter Jung-woo Jung, who was ranked A a while ago?
-you’re right. Jeong Sang-woo Hunter enlisted in the army on July 22 at the age of 21. As a special case for A-class hunters, military service will be discharged after only 4 weeks of basic training
.
while rushing through it.
“These stupid things are missing. Hey, assistant.”
“yes. Minister.”
“Call the Army Chief of Staff.”
“Are you talking now?”
“You have to say it twice to understand? Call me right now!”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Oh, and the army training center that handled the situation this time?”
“yes. That’s right.”
“Hmm, I should give you a compliment. okay. Call the chief of staff quickly.”
“yep!”
After speaking, the aide rushed out.
The Minister of Defense felt his head throb.
“I need to prepare another answer. damn it.”
Thinking of the reporters who would rush in like crazy gave me a headache.
And the Minister of Defense’s annoyance spilled over to the Army Chief of Staff.
After hearing what the Minister of National Defense said, the Chief of Staff, who was furious, stunned the Special Warfare Commander.
The special warfare commander, who was blown away by lightning in the dry sky, broke the joint (shin) of the 13th brigade commander, Colonel Park Moo-sik.
Fuck!
The special warfare commander who knew that Moo-shik Park was an Awakener and kicked it with all his might.
“Hey kid. Aren’t you right?”
“no!”
“I said you’re good, you’re good, but the guards don’t do it right? You’re training or you’re not! I don’t even know how basic!”
“Sorry!”
Park Moo-sik’s face turned red.
He was also in a high position, and I thought he had graduated a long time ago, but he was being harassed by his superiors.
“I’m sorry, and you’re sleeping, is this a big hit? You may be blocked from promotion in the future!”
“Am I really?”
promotion is blocked
Park Moo-sik, who had only succeeded without failure and was on a winning streak, was blocked.
He couldn’t believe it.
Not because of his own mistakes, but because of the mistakes of his subordinates.
Although, of course, he was responsible for not training properly.
“Yeah kid. I’m getting hairy too. Ah!”
It was a special warfare commander who beat his chest as if exasperated.
He seemed to want to hit Park Moo-sik even on the cheek, but he couldn’t bear to use his hands, so he filled his anger with anger and fired at Park Moo-sik with excitement like a shotgun and kicked him out.
Park Moo-sik, who was in full swing like that.
He returned to the office with his pride bruised.
“Gather everyone under me!”
Then, just when the regimental commanders and battalion commanders were about to assemble. A
call
came through his smartphone.
