Chapter 376 – 376. Shanghai 1
I think I can understand why they subcontract.
It’s so fucking comfortable. It’s really nice that I don’t have to wrap my head around something.
I guess this is why they subcontract. All you have to do is order it and inspect it.
Okay. Isn’t this a bit incredible to subcontract to a large company like SG?
Thanks to this, I have some free time.
I’ll go there after seeing whether it’s Sansha or Shansha… For now, let’s continue with other cities and Gensei.
Heading south again towards the Shandong Peninsula.
They excitedly pour seawater and tighten the leashes of the dogs.
But I guess the crazy guys aren’t idiots either. People began to appear in what was thought to be a water source.
Looking at the way he moves, it seems like he’s suspected of doing something to the water supply source.
However, I don’t think I realized what I did or how.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have put someone down so carelessly. That feels a bit like that.
Scarecrow? I’ve put a scarecrow here, so get out, you little sparrows! Feeling like this?
There are literally very few surveillance personnel. Rather, it went well.
If salty water continues to come out even with guys like that guarding us, we’ll be even more lost.
The water source is large and there are few guards.
Moreover, if the portal is opened in a slightly deeper part of the water, it is difficult to check with the naked eye.
If the water is calm, when the gate is opened, there will be spots on the surface of the water due to the flow of seawater.
However, not all water sources are calm.
If you open the gate in a place where there is a moderate flow of water, there is no way to find out even if you die.
It was a bit annoying, but if I can make things difficult for these guys, I can handle this much trouble.
After passing Qingtao, a very familiar city name, we continued to play in the water as we continued heading south.
I feel it once again, but this damn dog’s lair has too many lakes and reservoirs.
Thanks to this, you can successfully open the gate without taking a break during the day. I really like it because my skills are constantly improving.
Five days after assigning homework to Seo Min-jun, I faced a large river.
A river so large that it is clearly visible when seen from the air.
This is the Yangtze River. As for the name now… Yangtze. The river that also appears in the name of the foundation.
It’s definitely big. It tastes like playing in the water.
As I went down the Yangtze River, I saw something huge.
Ah. I can also read this in Chinese characters. Wound. So, Shanghai.
It’s big. There are many tall buildings. However… There is no one.
A large wall surrounds the entire city, and there are almost no people inside the city.
Feels similar to Beijing. But there were no people in Beijing.
The city wasn’t empty to this extent.
It feels like this was left blank on purpose. It seems like they either evicted them or arrested them all and killed them.
There’s nothing much different from Seoul except for signs and signs written in damn Chinese.
Tall buildings, countless roads, traces of many people living.
It feels a little familiar. It’s perfect for starting a fire.
It’s an empty city, so there’s nothing more to see. Even if you look from afar or up close, there is no trace.
I just took a quick look and that’s it. There is no need to play in the water here.
I have to go somewhere else.
Kwaang!!!
Coo!
As I turned to go somewhere else, I heard the sound of something exploding and something falling.
What? I don’t think it’s a natural sound.
There is no sense of presence. Still, I go to the direction where the sound came from.
It’s quite far away, and as I head in that direction, I continue to hear similar sounds as before.
Bang! Coo!
Kwakwang!”
Something was seen further than the detection range.
A guy covered in something is flying desperately.
And as he moves, the buildings behind him crack apart and fall to the ground.
I’m not putting on a damn show alone. It looks like he’s fighting something invisible.
But it’s too far away, so I’m not sure. Ah. It’s frustrating. It’s a bit hard to get close.
First, try to narrow the distance. Will they be able to see me through detection?
The skill radius increase starts from Tier 7, and the maximum distance increase is 10 meters.
Even at Tier 8, the detection range is 130 meters. You must be Tier 9 to reach 160 meters.
Will these guys be at that level? Since I don’t know, I can’t carelessly stick to it.
I guess you really need clairvoyant skills. It’s getting harder as the detection distance is gradually increasing more than the visual acuity.
As I walked towards the guys who were still fighting and pounding something, I felt that there were more guys besides them.
What do you want? Aren’t there just one or two? Three? These guys are floating in the air and hiding in various places behind the building.
When I looked a little closer, the guy who was wearing something looked like he was being chased.
And what was covered was like paint. Moreover, there is nothing visible in the areas that are not covered with paint.
This guy is invisible and has flight. But why don’t you fight back? Well, it’s not easy to counterattack in the air, right?
The paint-covered guy appears to be desperately running away.
Have you decided that it won’t work? Is it because the paint got on my body? Why are you running away?
Isn’t it better to fight?
The guy is gradually heading towards where the other three are gathered.
No matter how you look at it, this is just a hunt, right? Will it work? This is more interesting than I thought.
As the paint-wearing guy got closer, three guys rushed at him at the same time.
Everything flies in transparency. After all, if you’re sane, you should use transparency and flying as basics.
I am convinced of this after having killed countless people. Those without invisibility and flight lose their lives really quickly.
If you have all the skills to survive, these are the basic skills you must have.
The quality of battle and life itself changes. It’s almost like the class is changing.
Paint Nam saw the three approaching to see if he could still detect them and quickly reacted and went up into the sky.
However, among the three, one of the figures on the floor suddenly moved above Paintnam’s head.
This is Blink. You can tell just by looking at it.
And suddenly the remaining movement of the paint became sluggish. And he makes a gesture as if he is trying to remove something that is constricting him.
But it doesn’t seem to be easy.
I struggled and struggled in the air and moved around, but I couldn’t escape much from the surroundings of the guy who climbed up using Blink.
Suddenly, someone shouts something, and Paint Man, who was struggling, collapses like a stoned frog.
And the guy who falls quickly.
Puck!
The sound was very faint, but the sound of it hitting the ground seemed to be vivid.
The paint that turned into light and disappeared. And then four people rush towards that direction.
Four people revealed themselves after removing their invisibility. All four are men.
Net placed with coins. A man said something while retrieving the coin and the net at the same time.
It seems like he’s saying something, but I can’t hear it because it’s so far away.
After talking to each other for a while, the three turned on their invisibility and started moving.
And one of them appears to be sticking close to the ground and following at a little distance.
Hmm… Are you wary of being followed? There seems to be some intention.
As I follow them, I think about the battle that just took place.
Something passed in an instant. See. I need to organize it.
One guy was being chased. A man covered in paint.
And the four people who hunted it down. As soon as we got within a reasonable distance, it seems like one of the guys used Blink to throw a net over the paint guy’s head.
Transparent net. He must have been caught in a net with paint residue and couldn’t move.
The reason I couldn’t use flight to escape to another place is because Blink was holding the net.
After struggling like that, I got hit by something and became incapable of fighting to the point where I couldn’t maintain my flying skills.
And fall. Death.
I can roughly understand the flow, but there are a few things that are not revealed.
First, a skill used by the guy who chased the paint guy.
It looks like the building has been cut down like a piece of paper.
Corners and parts of small buildings were cut off and fell to the ground.
What is it? I don’t know. Is it a whip? No. The range is too long to be called a whip.
Of course, the whip is a fairly powerful skill.
The guy I saw last time at Cheongju Airport. He cut her car in half with one blow of her whip.
But the skill used by the guy who just caught the paint guy had a very long range.
It would be correct to say that the skill failed while trying to hit the paint guy and was cut off after touching the building.
Then it’s not a whip. I don’t think the range was that long.
So what is it? It won’t even be a ray of light. The beam is that fast and not that threatening. The distance seems quite long… It’s not that level of skill.
Isn’t this a basic skill? However, among the skill names I have seen, there are no skills that can be used in that way.
Of course, there may be cases where the name and the manifestation do not match… That also has to be to a certain extent.
Think about it again. A skill that feels like being cut by a knife. Ah. Is that it? Sword of Light?
The Sword of Light is a basic skill, so I don’t think it’s that bad.
Maybe… Space cutting using the sword of light as a prerequisite skill. Could that be it?
First, space cutting is thought to be the most powerful skill. What tier was it? Was it Tier 6?
At Tier 6, the skill effect should be that much. Cancer.
I started to notice something in the direction they were going. Maybe that’s their base.
Is it a hotel? Ah. It’s a hotel. Still, perhaps because it is a hotel, there is English written in front of the entrance.
It’s hard to find even a word of English with so much written in shitty Chinese… You can see it from here.
First, since they have entered, let’s detect the inside of the building at the maximum detection range.
And then I finish thinking about what I was thinking about earlier. How far did we go earlier?
Ah. Okay. The guy who chased after the paint guy. I think his skills are roughly the same…
A skill that rendered a feint caught in a net incapable of combat at once.
Hmm… What is there? Actually, there is a lot to think about.
At the very least, it seems like it would be possible to create a hole in someone’s abdomen just by using one’s might and throwing a rock.
Or there are skills like rock bullets. He could have shot something like a crossbow using telekinesis.
Or it could be an air gun, or at least a beam of light.
No. If it was a beam of light, the skill would have been visible. I guess so. Then the ray is canceled.
In any case, what is important is the power that renders it incapable of combat with one hit from a distance.
The type I need to pay the most attention to. I need to fucking learn metal painting or something… Or a shield.
Anyway, the most unusual thing about them was that they used nets.
Net. It’s a net. If you throw a net at a flying guy… It must be hard to run away.
Judging by the fact that he didn’t use blink when he was being chased in the first place, it seems like there were no blinks left with paint.
It’s a net. If a net is thrown at me, will I be able to come out as Blink?
I’ve never done this before. I learned something important.
Can I come out as a blink when something is binding me? I have never tested this.
I’ll have to try it right away when I get home. Because you might end up searching for nothing.
There are a lot of other things I’m curious about, but since I know their hideout, let’s start by scouting the surrounding area.
A fairly large hotel. And quite a few people. The number appears to be around fifty.
Just counting the number of people caught at the maximum detection distance is enough.
I was surprised to suddenly feel the presence of so many dogs. What are these guys doing?
A city like this where there is no one.
A group of people staying at a hotel in a famous city called Shanghai.
Probably not a tourist. They won’t be the ones who were lucky enough to survive.
They look like they are doing something.
The battle just now, the skills, the formation upon return.
It feels like my hands and feet are quite aligned.
First, let’s assume their skills.
The guy who used a skill believed to be space cutting earlier. So that guy is at least Tier 6.
And if that guy is not an executive level member of this group and is at a normal level, then all of them are at least Tier 6.
Moreover, to my disgust, it has invisibility and flight as standard.
There is also detection. There is also a blink, and it looks familiar to use the tool.
Ah. That sucks. Why are these guys so high level?
After dealing with idiots like Daeho Group, seeing these guys suddenly makes me feel like my level has risen.
Is it true that in China, people with the talent to win Olympic gold medals are plowing fields and doing odd jobs on construction sites?
Well, since there is a large population pool, it would have been nice to do something. Still, the level has risen so suddenly?
I hope the guys I just mentioned are at the executive level or have some level of skill.
With that in mind, I decided to slowly check what they were doing and saved their location.
