Chapter 480 – The Never-Ending Threat
-Beepeeeee
‘You need to come to your senses.’
Because a rocket exploded at close range, I hear a loud ringing in my ears.
Although it was not a direct hit, it exploded from behind and the entire formation collapsed due to the aftereffects.
-Doo-doo-doo-doo
Knowing that the formation was broken by the bomb, the enemies are quickly approaching before we can come to our senses.
There are no more smoke bombs as I used them all when escaping from the road earlier.
The first thing Lee Jong-wook did in an imminent fire situation was to check if anyone was injured.
When I looked at Park Ha-eun, who was just waking up next to me, there seemed to be no visible wounds.
Fortunately, Rachel on the other side is seen getting up slowly, holding her gun.
The biggest problem was Ross, which was closest to the impact of the explosion.
Lee Jong-wook turned his head toward the direction he had flown and found Ross waking up with blood on his head and his eyes squinting.
He seemed to be in pain as he was the closest to receiving the aftereffects of the explosion, but fortunately his body was so strong that he was slowly waking up.
-Are you okay?
When I make eye contact and signal to Ross that he is okay, he slightly nods his head and signals that he is okay.
Blood was flowing from his head, but fortunately it didn’t seem to interfere with the fight.
“Can you move?”
“This is no problem.”
When she got up and spoke to her wife who came to her side, she seemed to have come to her senses quickly and said that there was no problem.
“What should I do now?”
“It’s dangerous, but we have to move.”
When I looked from the front, I could see more than 10 people. There were at least 10 people when I heard the footsteps, so the rest must have gone back to the back entrance.
If we stayed like this, we could be surrounded, so we had to move quickly and change our location.
When I sent that message to Rachel and Ross, they both nodded as if they understood.
After confirming that everyone had agreed, Lee Jong-wook prepared to move while keeping the approaching enemies in check with his gun.
-Tatang!
When a threatening shot is fired, the enemies moving forward immediately take cover and hide themselves.
After seeing that, Jong-wook Lee pulled out the pin on the grenade so that Ross and Rachel on the other side could come over.
-Ping!
When I showed the two the grenade in my hand along with the sound of a safety pin being removed, they immediately realized what I meant.
Seeing that Park Ha-eun, who was next to him, had pulled out the pin of the grenade he was holding and prepared it, Lee Jong-wook threw the grenade at the enemy who was taking cover in front.
-Ting! Pow!
The grenade flies away with the sound of the second safety pin being pulled out, and then the first explosion occurs.
No screams were heard as if no one was hurt, and then Park Ha-eun threw a grenade.
When the second grenade flew, Rachel and Ross immediately ran towards this side, and Jong-wook Lee prepared to provide cover in case of an unexpected situation.
-Quaang!
Fortunately, the enemies were probably frightened by the grenade and did not emerge from cover while the two colleagues crossed over.
“You can move right away, right?”
“No problem.”
“It’s okay.”
After hearing the answer, Lee Jong-wook immediately put Park Ha-eun, who had the best sense, as the front line and then checked the enemies coming from behind.
Since he is a veteran, he knows what to do and moves without having to say anything.
As Rachel, who had moved to a safe place, looked behind her, Lee Jong-wook also started moving to a safe place.
“How long will it take for help to arrive?”
“About 15 minutes.”
“It takes too long…”
It’s okay if there’s an enemy only in front, but if there’s an enemy coming from another direction as well, 15 minutes of support would take too long.
Now the only resources they have left are three grenades and bullets.
The firepower was too insufficient to deal with enemies armed with high firepower, including rockets.
‘What should I do…’
Even if help arrives 15 minutes later, it doesn’t end there. You will waste more time getting to this point, so you need to set aside at least 20 minutes.
-Taang!
With that in mind, he thought and thought again as he blocked the entry of the enemies who were creeping closer.
If there was Chris, who had the best fighting ability, I would have thought about splitting the team and going back, but he is currently unconscious.
Now there was only one floor left to escape to, and it was a pretty desperate situation.
‘I have no choice but to hold on somehow.’
No matter how much he thought about it, Lee Jong-wook decided that it was better to just spread the distance and take time, so he quietly confronted him and continued to block his approach.
———————
When my parents were being attacked.
‘Faster!’
Jinseok Lee was anxious as he watched the screen displayed by the system while heading to the abandoned building where his parents were.
The difference in firepower between terrorist groups and my parents is so great that it can almost be said to be hopeless.
Not only was it armed with long-range rockets, but it also had several grenades.
As time goes by, if you are cornered and hit by a grenade, no matter how good a mercenary you are, you will have no choice but to get hit.
The distance from where Swan was kidnapped to the abandoned building was quite far, so it still took some time to arrive, and I was anxious because the situation seemed dangerous.
‘Protection items are not invincible either.’
Of the three items I gave you, only one can be used consistently.
I couldn’t help but be worried because the rest all lost their effectiveness after one hit.
In addition, I am not currently taking the invisibility potion, so I cannot directly participate in the battle.
Of course, if it were a really dangerous situation, I was even thinking about subduing him after revealing his abilities and all.
Even though I’m reluctant to reveal my abilities, I can’t just let my parents die.
[There is enough time. Please calm down.]
As I was moving at full speed with that thought in mind, the system calmed me down.
‘What is the expected arrival time?’
[You can arrive within 6 minutes at the latest.]
‘Then it’s too late.’
The parents tried to wait as long as possible, but now the camp has collapsed with just one rocket.
Enemies would also start to attack, taking advantage of the timing of the collapse, and the bigger problem was the ones who went back.
If you stay stuck like that, you will be completely surrounded by those who appear from behind, and you will not be able to escape.
Of course, Dad knows this and will prepare well, but since it is an abandoned building, the places to escape to are limited.
Thinking that I would soon be completely surrounded and unable to avoid battle, I moved even more hastily.
‘Arrived in 3 minutes.’
With the intention of arriving much faster than the system’s expected time.
—————————
‘Time drags on so much.’
David, who knew that time was taking a while as the two entered the abandoned building, frowned at the situation not going as planned.
The attack using rockets when they came to a quiet road on purpose was successful.
All you have to do is surround and attack those who have not yet come to their senses due to the effects of the explosion.
However, there was one thing he did not expect. That is, the defense power of bulletproof vehicles is much better than expected.
‘It came out so fine.’
It was also a bulletproof vehicle developed by the chairman of a world-renowned military company for his granddaughter.
Even though the explosion was caused by a rocket, the vehicle only overturned and only one enemy inside fainted.
In addition, the reason the vehicle overturned was because it hit the wheel directly by luck. If it weren’t for that, it probably wouldn’t have even been overthrown.
‘I can’t believe my revenge is interrupted by an old man.’
It was to the point where I regretted that I should have just targeted someone else and made them escort me.
‘No… I wouldn’t have moved if it weren’t for that level of opponent.’
However, David quickly gave up that thought. If it weren’t for Chairman Ron, there would have been a greater possibility that those two wouldn’t have moved.
I had no choice but to take this much damage in order to attract those two.
‘It must be dealt with before help arrives.’
The request for support would have already been made long ago. It’s a bit far away, but we’ll get there soon.
Realizing that it was a race against time, David radioed to her colleagues who had entered her through another entrance before entering.
‘I want to make it more painful…’
In his honest heart, he was thinking that it would be good for the other person to suffer even more because he had indirectly taken away his family.
After thinking that, David thought to himself that there was still time and that it was still okay.
“Where have we been?”
-Currently, we have almost arrived at the second floor.
Since it was my first time seeing the building, it took some time to enter. Still, upon hearing that they had reached the second floor, David gave orders.
“The enemy is most wary of encirclement, so take your position quickly.”
-I get it. It’s approaching soon so get ready.
Perhaps because they were veterans, they were guarding the back without even knowing the exact size of this area.
Because of that, the siege became difficult, and we wasted quite a bit of time, but it’s okay now.
If the colleagues who went back came up to the second floor, they would soon run into each other while they were moving.
‘I end my revenge for the loss of my family today…’
David felt his heart pounding at the thought that the revenge he had planned for over 10 years was finally over, and he calmly put pressure on his enemies.
—————————–
-Ta-ta-ta-tang!!
Continuing to block the enemy’s entry, he spins around to escape the encirclement.
The 3rd floor was the last place to be used when you couldn’t hold out because Chris was hiding.
“What bullets do you all have left?”
“About two magazines.”
“I have one left.”
“There are three…”
As we kept moving while keeping in check, there were not many bullets left.
‘I also have two magazines…’
Normally, I would have taken more bullets than this, but since it was an escort, there was no need to take many bullets.
‘I can’t last much longer.’
The bullets were running out, and at this point, it was time to face the enemies who had turned back.
If a battle starts in earnest, you will probably be at much disadvantage.
Since there weren’t many bullets left, we couldn’t fight actively, so our side was at an absolute disadvantage.
-Jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump
As they continued to keep a check and widen the distance behind them, sounds other than gunshots began to be heard far behind.
Normally I wouldn’t have been able to hear it, but now my senses have become so sensitive due to the battle that I can barely hear it.
‘We got closer to the enemies who had gone back.’
Lee Jong-wook, who realized that he would soon be surrounded by enemies, decided to settle down in the best place until then.
Since it would be difficult to break through without knowing the number of enemies behind them, they decided to take a stand and stage a sit-in.
“The enemies are approaching from behind. If things continue like this, there is a high chance of being surrounded.”
“What are you going to do?”
Park Ha-eun, who was already feeling an uneasy feeling coming from behind, said to him.
“Run to the other side and hold on as long as you can.”
“I understand…”
The place he chose was an electronics store with a lot of cover. Although it was an abandoned building, it was the most suitable for holding on as there were many desks that were on display.
“Then let’s all leave.”
They completed their move and prepared for the final defense while Rachel, who had a lot of bullets, kept the front in check.
————————
– Contact us soon.
‘I finally got it in.’
When I started to advance a little faster due to the fact that I was running out of time, I was able to quickly corner the enemies.
I was planning on dying like this anyway, so there were about 5 minutes left.
Not thinking about his retreat, he gradually became excited about the idea that he could finally achieve his revenge with plenty of time.
-Thump thump thump
The violent heartbeat resonates loudly, as if it is also echoing in the brain.
He, who had been living almost like a dead man since losing his family, readied his rocket while listening to his pounding heart.
One last shot saved to be used when the enemies have been driven to the very end.
With the intention of blowing away all cover with this one shot, he aimed the rocket in his hand toward the enemy.
‘It’s the end.’
He flew the rocket while thinking of his wife and his son and daughter, who died when they were only 7 and 5 years old.
-Pushuung!
The rocket started flying with a loud noise and hit the cover directly in front.
-Quaaaaang!!
With a loud sound, the surrounding cover was destroyed, leaving them no more places to hide.
