Chapter 481 – Items Are Gods.
RPG explosions do not spread very widely. In order to use it as simply as possible, there is little gunpowder, and it explodes once the warhead touches it, so there is no penetrating power.
However, if you compare its power with a gun, it was a weapon with such tremendous firepower that it could be said to be overwhelming.
Even now, look, many of the covers in front have blown away without a trace, and the enemies have been turned upside down by the storm of explosions.
David slowly began to enter inside, thinking that his revenge was finally coming to an end.
————————–
“Ugh…”
Lee Jong-wook, who had just covered himself with cover to face the battle, realized firsthand what a hopeless situation it was.
I never thought that the enemy still had another rocket.
While I was intentionally wasting time, I was ruling it out by not making a single attack, but I was holding back because I was aiming for the last one.
‘This was foolish of me.’
I had no idea that they had prepared as many as three rounds to use such a weapon against themselves.
The good news is that there is very little damage to this side by aiming for the frontmost cover.
Still, there was little hope. All the surrounding cover was blown away, and now we had to go to the back to run away, because other enemies were coming that way.
‘Hey… This could be the last time.’
I was just planning to quickly finish the escort request and spend time with his son, but I never imagined something like this would happen.
Thinking that today might really be the last day, he helped his wife get up next to him.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine…”
Perhaps he sensed that this could be his wife’s last as well. Instead of his usual bright voice, his voice was quite subdued.
‘No… You probably know better than me.’
A wife with great sense would know how hopeless this situation was much better than she did.
Lee Jong-wook, who thought of her like that, deliberately did not show that he was desperate to reassure her.
If you were born as a man, it was natural for you to reassure your wife no matter what.
“Support will probably come soon. Let’s hold on.”
“I understand.”
Park Ha-eun, who must have sensed Lee Jong-wook’s intention, smiled and said that she understood.
Lee Jong-wook prepared for this situation, which might be his last, thinking that he was the other half who was very undeserving of him, who was always blunt and not good at expressing affection.
“Love. In the past, now, and always in the future.”
“I love you too honey.”
Rachel and Ross in the back also feel signs of waking up.
They were asked to attack enemies coming from behind instead of from the front, so now they have to block everything from the front.
In such a situation, Lee Jong-wook hid in the few remaining pieces of cover and took aim at the approaching enemies.
‘It won’t go easily.’
Although it is a hopeless situation, I have no intention of giving up easily. Because he still had a beautiful wife and a precious son that he could trade his life for.
————————–
Park Ha-eun, who was blown backwards by the rocket explosion, thought as she saw her husband taking care of her.
‘What a blunt person.’
At times like this, his eyes and expression would change, but he always has a blunt face.
How many people would be able to make a face like that in a life-threatening situation right now?
‘It’s not very good.’
Ever since I came here, my senses have been warning me of danger.
A shiver runs down my spine like I’ve never felt before, and cold sweat runs down my spine.
Park Ha-eun knew better than anyone else that his career as a mercenary could end here.
Even in such a hopeless situation, seeing her husband say with a blunt expression that it was okay, gave her strength
‘I fell in love with that face.’
There were desperate situations on the battlefield, but he calmly overcame danger without a change in his expression.
Unlike himself, who always acts by intuition, he planned thoroughly and minimized the risk.
What surprised Park Ha-eun, who was looking at her husband’s trusting face, was when he said something he rarely said: “I love you.”
“Love. In the past, now, and always in the future.”
When Park Ha-eun heard those words, her eyes widened, and she smiled without realizing it.
‘A despicable man.’
Even though he was in such a hopeless situation, he was no different from a truly despicable man who said such things to calm his mind.
Although he has a blunt face, you can tell by looking at his eyes. Clear eyes that don’t lie at all.
Looking at those eyes with a firm attitude that no danger is a problem
She thought.
“I love you too honey.”
Park Ha-eun strengthened her heart by telling him that she loved him equally. She is determined to return safely and spend time with her husband and son.
———————-
When Lee Jong-wook and Park Ha-eun were facing a desperate situation.
I, who had the body of a half-body, ran so hard that I was finally able to reach the abandoned building.
“It’s finally here.”
As I checked the situation while wearing a mask, I thought about the enemies I had to deal with first, along with the thought that I needed to help as quickly as possible.
‘We have to deal with those who approach from behind first.’
Those who enter from the front can survive because they have cover, but those from behind cannot.
It seems like you’re prepared, but the moment they come in from behind, you’ll be hit in an instant.
[The terrain of the abandoned building and the locations of enemies are displayed.]
A system that knows what I want provides full support.
There are a total of five enemies turning around.
While checking the map showing the topography of the abandoned building, I flew towards the location of the enemies who were sneaking up from behind.
My body creaks every time I run, probably because I’ve been overworking my body to the point of strain.
Thanks to my hard work, I was fortunate enough to reach my parents before those surrounding them from behind could reach them.
“We will take the time from the front, so we can take it down at once.”
I can hear them saying that they are taking their time at the front and that they will take it down once and for all.
‘Search.’
As soon as I heard those words, anger welled up in my body, so I silently walked up and snapped the neck of the guy who fell behind the most.
-Eududeuk
“Knock!”
Without even knowing that I was dead, I opened my eyes and left the dead guy behind, and immediately aimed for the next one.
“Enemy behind!”
I had just finished taking care of one guy and was about to take care of the other guy, when I heard my colleague gasp and the guy in front reacted.
“Help has already arrived?!”
Just when the surprised guys turned around and aimed their guns at me.
-Wow!
“Go!”
As soon as I take out the one that was targeting me in an instant, they react and fire bullets at me.
-Too-doo-doo-doo!
It’s close, so there’s no need to aim. All you have to do is aim for the body and shoot.
Even a skilled mercenary would die immediately at this distance, but it was useless to me, who was more than human.
All flying bullets are visible. The world seems to have slowed down except for me.
Look at the dozens of bullets flying ahead and aim for the next enemy.
After swatting away the bullets flying in my path with my hand, I immediately approached the target and punched him.
“Ouch!”
The feeling of the ribs being broken is clearly felt through the fist, and the person who was hit goes flying.
Knowing that I would die in one hit, I didn’t pay attention to the one that flew away and aimed for the other one.
There are now a total of two people left. The remaining guys opened their eyes wide and were surprised when I didn’t get any wounds even though they fired the gun at me from such a close range.
“Are you wearing bulletproof vest or something?!”
“Don’t stay blank, you idiot!”
“Boo!”
After firing so many bullets and seeing no damage, he approaches the startled man and breaks his neck.
“Damn it!”
Now the last remaining guy aims his gun and tries to shoot to kill me.
“Knock…”
It was much faster for me to come in and break his arm and break his neck.
“Whoa…”
First, I took care of all the people who were the biggest threat to my parents and who approached me from behind.
The series of steps seemed long, but it took less than a minute for me to approach and process everything.
However, it was still too early to feel relieved, and the situation for the parents was still desperate, perhaps because one threat had been eliminated.
One of the things I learned when the system took pictures of the enemies’ locations and relayed information.
They still had one more rocket.
‘We have to deal with this as well.’
Looking at the situation, the battle has already begun. Numerous gunshots can be heard in front.
If it stays like that and even tear gas or a rocket comes flying at it, there will inevitably be people who will suffer damage.
The problem is, can I deal with my enemies without my parents seeing me?
Knowing that I had some free time after dealing with the guys approaching from behind, I noticed something nearby.
‘With this, I can help without being seen.’
What I found was a container full of dusty toothpicks.
I took a container full of toothpicks and moved around carefully so as not to be seen as much as possible.
——————————-
-Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
‘If things continue like this, I won’t be able to last long.’
Lee Jong-wook, who was continuing to fire while blocking the enemy’s approach, realized that he would not be able to last long if he continued like this.
There is only one magazine of bullets left, and the enemies are in cover, so they cannot be dealt with properly.
It is difficult for 4 people to block more than 10 enemies, but the other two are currently unable to provide support due to the enemies approaching from behind.
When I looked to the side, Park Ha-eun was just changing the last magazine.
After seeing that, Lee Jong-wook had no choice but to make a decision.
“Rachel! Loss! Give up the back and support the front!”
If things continue like this, the main force will run out of ammunition and start coming this way.
From the moment you start responding with a pistol, you don’t have time because your firepower is overwhelmingly inferior to that of an enemy holding a rifle.
“What should we do next?”
When Ross was told to give up on the enemies coming behind him, he asked what he was thinking, but there was no answer.
Because blocking the front was the priority rather than just standing still and being pushed back.
“If you get pushed now, you’re going to die anyway! We just have to hold on from the front!”
Always cool-headed and naturally quiet, John’s urgent words forced Ross and Rachel to trust him.
This was because they thought that they should follow his advice since he was a veteran and had better skills than them.
‘I can’t help it…’
If an enemy approaches you from behind, you have no choice but to just suffer. When you have such gloomy thoughts and are keeping your enemies in check.
-Tuktuk
Suddenly, Park Ha-eun, who was next to her, tapped her shoulder and said with an expression of incomprehension.
“The back is safe.”
“What?”
“Just a moment ago, I felt like I was being strangled when I looked behind me, but that’s all gone.”
Lee Jong-wook, who knew Park Ha-eun’s feelings well because they had been together on the battlefield for a long time, expressed doubt after hearing her words.
‘The back is safe?’
When I said that the feeling of anxiety had disappeared, that couldn’t have been a lie. Because her senses have saved her life many times.
However, she couldn’t help but wonder that her back was safe, even though she hadn’t received any notification yet that help had arrived.
Of course, Park Ha-eun, who was next to him, was also surprised because the anxiety she felt behind her suddenly disappeared.
‘It couldn’t have been here already…’
The place they are in is far away from the PMC, and the place where the abandoned building is located is also quite remote.
No matter how quickly we set off, there is no way the reinforcements could have arrived here already.
No, if I had said it had arrived, I would have already noticed it myself, but I don’t feel that way at all.
What that means is that her support hasn’t arrived yet, but she suddenly didn’t feel uneasy from behind, so she was also surprised.
‘But I’m sure.’
I feel like she saved me countless times on the battlefield. This feeling was never wrong, so it was true that the back was safe.
Lee Jong-wook, who heard Park Ha-eun’s words, thought while keeping his head in check and came to a conclusion.
‘Are other guys targeting us intruding?’
The guys were targeting his son, Jin-seok. After that incident, he thought that there were other enemies targeting them as well.
I wasn’t sure because I didn’t know for sure if I was on the same side as them or not, but it could have been that.
While he was thinking about that, he quickly gave up that thought. Because Park Ha-eun just said that the back has become safe.
If new enemies had appeared, she would have become more anxious and there was no way she would have felt safe.
‘What on earth is this?’
Unable to answer what happened to the enemies who approached from behind, he decided to focus on the front for now.
Just blocking the enemies that were already in front was quite a challenge.
