Chapter 329 – Chinese Army Moves South (4)
The code name of the new robots moving north under Jinsu’s orders is Predator.
Like Hercules, it is a new combat model derived from the Stalker series.
The perfection of the original was so high, and the freedom for improvement was so great that it was difficult to create a next-generation model that surpassed it.
Instead, various variations specialized for each situation are being developed.
The Predator was so expensive that only a very small amount was produced, but it was the best fit for this mission.
Going back to the infiltration story, moving under the sea has many advantages.
First, there was no need to move at night to avoid enemy surveillance.
[This is the foxtrot leader. A drone identified as belonging to the Chinese military has been detected.]
The Predator robot’s report was sent to the shelter via encrypted radio waves.
The aircraft, which is closer to sea level than other fellow aircraft, holds out its periscope from time to time to scout the surroundings.
It pops out, rotates 360 degrees in less than a second, and then sinks like a crab hiding its eyes. Even the drones operated by Artemis would not be able to detect this.
The Chinese military drone flying over the coast also disappeared along the way.
The heat detection sensor that helped eliminate the Korean searchers could not penetrate the coldness of the seawater.
The second advantage is that local fuel supply is possible.
As it is a solo operation, the Predators’ energy must be conserved as much as possible both when leaving and when returning.
The underwater scooter, which can convert biological material into power, provided assistance beyond riding.
It had to have a fairly large bio-generator attached, but who cares? It moves under the sea anyway.
[Pause for a moment. Finding appropriate charging points.]
Beneath the sea level where sunlight is scattered and flickering. Fish abounded everywhere in the Predator’s field of vision.
This is because, as pollution and overfishing disappeared, the marine ecosystem was experiencing its greatest heyday since the advent of mankind.
Pajik!
As the short, strong current spread out in all directions, the sea creatures fainted all at once.
Schools of sardines, lionfish with colorful scales, horse mackerels, parrotfish, jellyfish, cephalopods, and various other sea creatures that anglers would cheer if they caught them.
All of that went into the scooter generator through the capture device.
Among them, there were dangerous poisonous creatures ranging from stomachache to paralyzing asphyxiation, but it didn’t matter.
This is because it is not a primitive method of dissolving with gastric juice and absorbing from the intestines.
The bones and flesh of the sucked creatures were immediately pulverized, and their energy was extracted as if squeezed juice.
This process is rapid and debris is expelled within minutes.
Fry and crustaceans flocked to them and had a feast.
[Charging completed. Resume mission.]
This is why the batteries of the underwater scooter as well as the suspended Predators do not drop from 99% even after leaving the shelter and moving a long way.
After marching for a while, fertilizing from time to time, the commandos finally reached their landing destination.

Dungeon is the fate of soldiers of this era.
In today’s world, the word ‘supply’ is dismissed as a joke symbolizing the good times.
Unless the unit is in perfect conditions, soldiers must provide 20 to 30 percent of their own food.
This did not change even when entering another country’s territory and conducting military operations.
Some Chinese soldiers collected crops grown in abandoned collective farms, fished in rivers and the sea, and hunted in the mountains and fields with guns.
The movement was skillful and disciplined, and the efficiency of securing food was excellent.
Just as the special forces used electric shock to secure fish, they also used many illegal methods.
“Is it the elk again? Why are there so many elk here?”
Chinese soldiers approached an elk that had collapsed after being shot. The Chinese they spoke was a mixture of disappointment and grumbling.
“Even if it’s worse than roe deer, it’s pretty good if you chew it well.”
“It’s a shame it’s okay. “I heard the sting is over.”
“But I’m lucky this time. He died instantly with a single blow to the head.”
The sergeant was pleased with his subordinate’s words.
This is because the intestines and arteries would have been damaged, and foreign substances would not have been absorbed into the meat. If you immediately draw the blood and process the internal organs, you can enjoy light meat.
“Come on, move quickly.”
“Yes!”
Two low-ranking soldiers skillfully hung the elk upside down. And when the neck is cut with a military bayonet, blood flows down through the arteries.
“Are there any bears here?”
“You’re doing it again. What are you planning to use to protect your body?”
“If you don’t want to use it anywhere, you should use it there.”
The sergeant pointed in the direction of South Korea with his thumb.
“Once it stabilizes after a few years, won’t it be okay to come and go to have fun?”
The fame of the polis in South Korea passed through North Korea and Manchuria and even reached the ears of the Chinese military.
Due to the circumstances of the time, there was little information available and there was a lot of nonsense, understatement, and exaggeration mixed in, so no one could fully understand it.
“Fuck, if this body goes down, all the Joseon girls will die.”
“It’s not Joseon, it’s Korea.”
“If a Chosun bitch or a Bangzi bitch sticks a dick, that’s it.”
Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of the sergeant shaking his waist while holding on to a nearby wooden pole.
“I’m dying of shame because I have to eat more cheetah bitches.”
“What can I do? Our company commander says it’s meat rather than pussy. Under! “Did you really think you should have risked your life to steal away at least a few people?”
“Just take it easy. If you get caught like that, the sergeant will also be sent to prison.”
“Even if the cub speaks!”
While they were giggling and talking about the rape and violence as if it were a saga, they discovered another wild animal.
“It becomes a pig! “It looks like a crossbreed, too, doesn’t it?”
The senior soldier said as he put down the telescope.
It is a pig born from mating between a wild boar and an escaped farm pig, and is one of the delicacies of the apocalypse era.
“I was bored, but it turned out well. Fuck that, I got it! Hey, follow me!”
The sergeant pointed at a soldier and jumped out.
“Never miss it.”
The other subordinates swallowed their saliva and saw off.
Isn’t pork an inseparable necessity for proud Chinese people?
And so the second hunt began.
There was just one part they didn’t know.
This means that their level, which was the top predator until just now, went down one level a few seconds ago.
[Confirmation of the first interrogation target.]
Predator robots hiding and observing from afar. Chinese soldiers laughing and chatting with emotionless red eyes are engraved one by one.
* * *
It seemed like the pigs hadn’t noticed yet.
As Hogzilla, who inherited the fighting power of a wild boar and the size of a farm pig, his status is no different from that of the king of the mountains.
Since the vaccine was distributed, they have been moving around the area from a somewhat superior position. There was almost no situation where I had to hide from prying eyes.
Thanks to this, the two pursuing Chinese armies were also able to approach a considerable distance.
The grumpy attitude from just a moment ago, even paying attention to the direction of the wind and hiding his body odor, is that of a seasoned search soldier.
Military uniforms harm the bushes and military boots step on tree roots.
By the time the pig, which was digging the ground with its dirty nose and grunting, realized the presence of the Chinese army, it was too late.
Bang!
Keweeeeek-!
A single gunshot penetrated the abdomen and the pig sat down. But after a few seconds, he shakes his head and gets up and runs away again.
“Fuck you! “Where are you shooting at?”
“I’m sorry.”
“For mountain animals, you have to shoot at their vital points accurately, and if you shoot at their bellies, they are less likely to die. Instead, only the internal organs are damaged, and it smells like shit.”
With those words, the sergeant took aim at the pig running away.
Bang!
The second bullet passed through the pig’s cervical spine. A large body twitches and tumbles on the dirt floor.
“Did you see it? If you’re going to shoot, shoot like this. Even though I’m sitting still with my head on the ground, they shoot me like that? So, can you properly shoot and kill Bangz?”
“I’m sorry.”
“If you’re sorry, go ahead and drain the blood.”
“…”
Even though he was attacked by something that looked much heavier than an elk, the soldier couldn’t argue with it. It was because the sergeant in front of him was too scared to do that.
“Oh, that idiot.”
The sergeant took out a cigarette as he watched the back of his subordinate running away.
It was quite far away, and it was hard to see because it was covered by bushes, but I could tell that they were grumbling and working.
Did he smoke half a cigarette like that?
“Hey! Are you doing your job correctly?”
The sergeant shouted, but the soldier had no answer.
“What? “You’re not answering?”
Still no response.
“Has this bastard even lost his head just because he got hurt?”
The sergeant walked to the place where the pig and soldier were, thinking that he had caught it well.
“Back then, I never even thought of making fun of something like this…”
Two things caught the eye of the sergeant who damaged the bush.
It was the corpse of a pig that had not yet died and a soldier whose spine had been pulled out and whose eyes had been gouged out.
The sergeant felt his spirit come to his senses and grabbed his gun.
At that moment, a strange crying sound was heard from behind.
Grrrr-.
If a lion, or rather a velociraptor, rustles in your ear, would this be the sound it makes?
The sergeant felt the hairs on his entire body stand on end.
The voice of reason told me to turn around and shoot right away, sending an alarm in my brain, but for some reason, my body didn’t move.
Something more fundamental than reason and the brain. Something closer to a limb.
This is because the endocrine glands were saying, ‘If you move now, you will die.’
The limbs remained motionless, giving priority to the commands of the endocrine glands over those of the brain, the body’s master.
Grrrr-.
“Live… Save…”
A crying voice, unable to even form words, escapes from dry lips.
The sergeant will never know.
What if the Insomniac series was given an extremely hideous face design to suppress protests?
The Predator behind its back was gifted with a frequency specifically designed to paralyze enemy soldiers with fear on the battlefield.
This cry stimulates the fundamental fear of mammals to the limit.
If you convert the discomfort you feel when scratching a blackboard with your fingernails into ‘fear’ and amplify it, this is what it would feel like.
A black hand that looks as if it could grab a human head and burst it at once touches the sergeant’s shoulder.
“Hee… Heeeeek!!!”
When he reflexively turned around, what he saw was the monster’s hand covering his entire face.
* * *
On the central control room screen, a Chinese sergeant chasing a pig is having a good time.
It was more unpleasant than I thought to hear the poor Cheetah people talking about Bang Tsuni and Chosun bitches.
However, thanks to this, I was able to obtain quite useful information from the beginning.
This is because it was good information to infer what the Chinese soldiers knew about the situation in Korea.
It wasn’t that the existence of the polis or shelter army was unknown, but there were a lot of things that were too uncertain.
“Did the higher-ups deliberately control information for fear of lowering morale? Or is it really low-level information?”
While I was immersed in thought, cupping my chin, a request for additional commands came in.
[Do you capture hostile forces waiting for the elk carcass?]
Existing security robots had a heavy, dry military tone of voice.
On the other hand, in the Predator series, even during normal conversation, there is a growl-like sound of a carnivore mixed in.
Since threats and intimidation to the enemy are essential to their mission, they are trying to maximize it.
“There’s nothing wrong with having a lot of mouths to talk about. This time, don’t kill anyone, but capture them alive. You don’t even need to have arms or legs.”
[Roger.]
The screen splits and two of them start running down the mountain.
The face of the Chinese sergeant who had been in the center of the screen until just now was pushed to the corner.
He is naked as he pours out tears, snot, and drool. The lower part of his body that he had been waving confidently was shriveled with urine.
The corpse of a junior soldier lying behind him was also naked.
Two Predators, wearing their military uniforms and equipment, run. With human speed and human posture.
“No, sergeant! “Did you miss it?”
The Chinese soldiers who were removing the elk’s intestines shouted as if they were dumbfounded.
“Fuck, the bullet caught at the crucial moment!”
Predator responds with a shy gesture. The voice and tone were identical to those of a Chinese Army sergeant.
As they continued to move their feet during the conversation, the distance between the two sides was less than 30 meters.
“Ha… Well, that could be true.”
“Come and smoke a cigarette. “How could I have rescued even an elk unharmed?”
They had no idea that strangers were trespassing into their arms.
