[D -00:15m]
Chiik-
[Main force of the expeditionary force. He is the commander-in-chief. Channel-1 Channel-2 Can the enemy be identified at the point where each unit is located?]
Chiik-
[Ah, what is the awkward channel one-two? Professor Park, how about BDSM? It’s not an operation that requires separate security anyway.]
Chiik-
[BDSM is a bit of an embarrassing name.]
Chiik-
[Khehehehe! Then why did you name it Geutau? BDSM leader Professor Park?]
Chiik-
[I am a person who lives without regrets, but I think I will regret for the rest of my life that I did not go and hang that guy.]
=======
War is always something new.
[D – 00:07m]
=========
Chiik-
[Saddam is prohibited after this time. Goal confirmation report. Channel-1. Channel-2]
Chiik-
[Channel-2. They are approaching from the front, and there are more than 70 Triceratops tanks alone. After that, you can’t see it because it’s covered by the huge frontal armor.]
Chiik –
[Channel 1] You can see their flanks while they are making a detour a little later than that guy. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have soft sides like a young lady’s, but thick and sturdy sides like a 67-year-old Russian babushka. This is a mechanized infantry division led by cyborgs. It would be difficult for a diversionary strike to become a major breakthrough.]
Chiik-
[Confirmed. It was expected that it would be a difficult battle. Notify the Dom and all of its allies. This battle! It is not simply a struggle between the two groups of Dom and Raptor, but a watershed that will determine what kind of life the survivors will live in our drying world in the future! We are for life, not ideology! Leaving precious things behind for survival -]
=========
The reason why it is always new even to those who have experienced it enough to become familiar with it is that
even though the fear may be diluted, its meaning does not diminish.
[D – 00:03m]
———=
Chiik –
[As of the current time, the main unit’s communication is replaced by a signal soldier for the commander’s security. Ready for engagement. Preparing for battle.]
Chiik-
[Ah, it’s been a while. Nest, my fishy hometown.]
[Huh? Of course that bastard is there too. I’m telling you in advance, Bex, you can’t go in first and slit his throat. Gustav That guy is mine.]
[What is that? Kill list? Hey, do you carry something like that? No matter how much it’s an infiltration team, it’s not like Death Note…]
Chiik-
[If you look closely, out of the three of us, that bastard Vex is the most vicious. They say they don’t give meaning to murder. I only give it a purpose.]
Chiik-
[It’s just that I have poor concentration-]
Chiik-
[Yeah, yeah. Let’s kill Kesselring and Gustave on our own. Go in first. Channel-2 engagement begins.]
Chiik-
[Tsk. Don’t hesitate and don’t be too selfish. Let’s meet at the hospital as he is just a severely disabled person. -Hey guys!!! Get your equipment!! “Yeeeeee!” Let’s go catch a cheap monster that only costs the price of scrap metal! “Woowoo!”]
=========
Second, in other battlefields, other people face the enemy next to me and disappear.
[D + 00:08]
=========
Quaaaaaang!
[Fire support! Fire support! It wasn’t cover! Repeat! The enemy position crossing point was not a cover! 35 heavy tanks! 38th class! 4….Kaaaaak!]
Chiik chiikik –
[Melee engagement with cyborg is not possible! Power overload is like an explosive! There are too many!]
Chiik-
[It’s Channel-1! Think of a Raptor tanker as just a sniper with a rifle the size of a tank! It’s definitely a hit! Don’t risk a fluke breakthrough! Professor Park carried out the main firepower by himself! See you! What happened to the equipment installation support?]
Chiik-
[Installation- finished! However, Exo consumes unexpected power, so the induction power charge still
has a long way to go] Chieeeevezeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu their induction power has been consumed unexpectedly so
it’s Manager Raiden in area 47! Cyborg… attack! Charging equipment is inevitable…. Defense…. Cheeeeeee-] Chee-
ik-
[If the cyborgs of our separate unit and the main unit reach area 47, this is a number that can never be achieved with only raptor combatants! These bastards even remodeled the slaves and production staff they had and crammed them in! It’s a sign that it’s okay to die together!]
[Channel-2! Professor Park! Are you alive? Is the dog still alive!!]
========
Thirdly, skilled soldiers who survive on the battlefield are given greater responsibilities than before, and they become more involved in war that they have never experienced.
Quaaaaaaa!!
The explosion that exploded beneath my feet hit me hard.
‘Was this really the right choice?’
Pak! Cough!
The moment my body woke up to the oppression, the stake-like warheads of armor-piercing bullets flew precisely and lodged in various parts of my body.
‘Was my choice really worth putting all of these people in unnecessary danger?’
Sigh-!
Even though his body is completely ruined after being pushed out by the shock, he falls into doubt as he measures the distance to the enemy, who has grown further away as he has already gotten closer.
War is always new.
It always brings new pain.
Chiiik-
[Headquarters! Headquarters!]
[There is no way to retreat… there is no way! From the beginning, it was a strategy based on the premise of digging in as quickly as possible! Even if you replace your body, create a gap!]
[You cyborgs who don’t even know they’re going to die-?! Ugh!]
Being in a position to make wrong decisions in war. It means that I have to add 10,000 other deaths on site to my death.
Cracking!
Uuuuung –
Behind the Nest, which seems infinitely far away, the silo of the spacecraft base opens.
The red auxiliary pillar rises first, followed by a streamlined metal body that begins to appear.
“Next Space.”
Perhaps the last remaining means of orbital transportation on Earth.
As I watched it finish preparing for launch and begin to reveal itself, I had to admit it.
I was hit.
Raptor’s tactics are consumptive and force damage on both sides, and at the end of a grueling battle, victory will likely be Dom’s.
That means we are all left on earth.
The spaceship leaves, Gedreutz achieves what he wanted, and one way or another, we are reduced to experiments in a laboratory with no choice but to accept the results.
The spaceship that began to appear predicted my defeat with its elegant black and white appearance.
****
There was a basis. There were two reasons to break through the fortress called ‘Raptor Nest’, which was no different from a cluster of living tanks, within a short period of time.
———
‘This is an aerial photo hastily taken by a GG transport drone. Isn’t that the ammunition piled up next to the tank?’
‘It’s a flying bullet (wing-stabilized armor-piercing bullet)? That’s not an anti-tank penetrating shell. Raptor bastards aren’t idiots, why are they using that? Did the Raptors change their tactical manual after I was gone? President Young, could you possibly have planted a Prakchi to kick the Raptor bastards’ butts?’
‘Even if that were the case, there is no way that experienced Raptor soldiers, who are each masters of tank warfare, would make such a basic mistake. Strange…’
———
The first is information on the enemy camp confirmed while approaching the Nest.
A tank round called a Naltan is a high-penetrating anti-tank round that can be seen as a modern-day ballista that pushes an iron stake into a tank with the power of an explosive. Considering that the main defense mechanism of Raptor’s main enemy, Dom, is based on a high-power shield, it is very effective compared to anti-tank high-explosive bombs that blow the shield’s power into pieces with large explosive power, or modified bullets that turn the warhead into a lump of magnets and scatter the shield’s cohesion. Ineffective bullet.
In short, ammo that they will never use and that they inevitably do not have in stock was piled up in the formation of raptors preparing for battle.
———
‘It seems like the enemy tank’s number one target is me.’
‘In a battle of this scale? No matter how great your personal power is, what? How many times did this bastard fry his brain with this connector and he got ax disease?’
‘That’s an incomprehensible guess from a tactical perspective.’
‘Then why would they have piled up high-penetrating tank shells? The exosuit is a frame walker with the pilot exposed except for the high-power shield, and the friendly infantry is high-firepower infantry with only square-class personal shields. The vehicle has its own armor, but it is wider and has sufficient destructive power with the original HEAT bullets. I am the only unit on my team that has useful anti-tank armor-piercing shells. [Professor Byeon Jong-hwa Park]. High armor, high mobility, high firepower. There is always a reason for the enemy’s actions, and a radical change in the enemy’s supplies means a change in the enemy’s doctrine of action. Everyone knows this.’
‘….It sounds like a dog eating grass, but how does this make sense?’
‘Hmm.’
‘Dogs also eat grass. It is also quite consistent with the information obtained from the Artists’ Union. Gedroitz, the current Raptor commander, is strangely obsessed with me. They say I am the center of everything and they are doing something based on me. I don’t know what kind of World War III-level nonsense that crazy genius is planning, but there is a very high probability that the trigger is me. Then, it is also possible that the sudden change in ammunition type is related to me.’
———
The Raptors are a group of people who combine drugs and brainwashing with old-fashioned military discipline hardened by war, and their actions that exclude morality have resulted in an order execution rate close to 99%.
Even if an enemy sticks a sword in his side, a brainwashed Raptor soldier does not turn his gun if there is an order to ‘sniper the enemy from 100 meters away.’ Being designated as the top priority target for these people means that almost every tank’s gun barrel will follow me until the battle is over.
So, what was proposed was to replace the existing separate unit + main unit structure with a separate unit (BDSM) + main unit + Professor Park (firepower guidance center).
——–
‘Will it work?’
‘This is an act of suicide…’
‘The spirit of sacrifice is noble, and it is inevitably forced in war, but it seems to be no more or less than a dog’s death.’
‘No, it doesn’t work. At least we can hold out long enough until our main corps breaks through the enemy’s kill zone without taking any damage and destroys their firepower.’
‘On what basis?’
‘My experience. ‘My changing body is approaching faster than a car on two feet from the Artists’ Union base to the Raptor base.’
‘It’s changing and getting stronger too quickly. Maybe it’s someone else, but I’ve dealt with bodies at this level before. That means we can calculate exactly how strong it is and what level of force it can produce.’
‘so. Now that you’ve become distracted enough, you’re going to take down hundreds of tanks all by yourself?’
‘Wow, I defeated the monsters that destroyed the castle walls made of thousands of rocks weighing 3 tons each by pounding them with their bodies, even in worse conditions than this, in legions.’
‘….Niggy. It doesn’t feel real.’
———
The second basis was me. To be precise, Professor Park’s combat power is in the process of being transformed.
‘This is going too far.’
What I do know is that the time I have left and the strength of my body are inversely proportional.
It’s true that your body is already changing just by breathing, and if you use too much force that your ‘human body’ can’t withstand, it will mutate into a lump just like the ruptured nerves and muscles.
However, it means that as free time decreases, stronger power can be used at the moment when it is most needed, like now.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
It was the tank that was crushed in the collision between the tank and the human. With the driver’s blood seeping out through the badly distorted frontal armor, the crew members who opened the hatch pulled out the pins of a bunch of grenades with drugged eyes.
Kwaaaaang!
Even before the grenades exploded, the concentrated artillery fire that fell on the tanks instantly turned them into black, human-shaped marks. As I was thrown out, all I felt was a dull shock hitting my lungs. Unlike the tough muscle mass of the past, the body surrounded by thick armor was tough enough to be tiresome.
Pak! Cough!
Although it was an armor-piercing bullet prepared for such a body, the few direct hits ricocheted roughly along the curved surface of the black carapace and scattered. A memory that is not mine but is familiar to me. As a royal knight, Hyde learned to use heavy armor in the most authentic way and used it in the fiercest wars, and his skills made it possible.
‘A little more. If you push yourself just a little harder, you can wield the same power on the battlefield as the legions of the past.’
In close combat, when an enemy capable of ‘tearing’ the thickest heavy tank to pieces with its bare hands approaches the tank line at high speed, the opponent’s response is usually limited to ‘block it’.
Unless you pour out all your firepower, you cannot stop me in my current state.
If the firepower is focused on me, the Dome main force and the BDSM detachment will naturally take advantage and destroy the Raptor while the tank firepower, which is close to 70% of the enemy’s strength, is tied up.
If they turn the gun on me, I just have to rush back and that’s it.
‘I just need to get the cure before it’s too late. As long as I reach the server room with the Next Space spaceship before it’s too late…’
The gap in power secured by maximizing the lifespan of the body that is in the process of being mutated.
What overturned this, which had been overwhelmingly maintained until the beginning of the war, was that, unlike soldiers like me who lost their leadership in the previous war and dispersed through retirement, desertion, and voluntary disbanding, the third party volunteered to remain in the cycle of slaughter that fought until the very last moment. They were the ghosts of World War II.
Thump-thump-thump-
The signal was that the rain of gunfire had decreased to a number that could be counted by hand.
