Adversary (2)
Republic of Korea Ministry of National Defense Command and Control Office.
The interior designed in a two-story structure, large monitors are tightly packed in the front, and disaster management personnel such as the Army, Navy and Air Force and the National Crisis Management Center are displayed on video.
The theme of the meeting is, of course, a red comet that appears in the center of the screen.
[When do you launch?]
“We have to wait for the monster to slow itself down. The current situation… … .”
In response to a question from a superior, the upper floor, inside the soundproof wall, is very busy receiving information from the aides.
Reporting always required detailed numbers.
[There are only 20 seconds left until the crash, but you wait longer?]
“Yes. Currently, meteorites have a speed of 26 kilometers per second or Mach 76. With an interception battery, if it exceeds Mach 15, it is impossible to shoot it down.”
At that time, thanks to the large screen showing the meteorite’s transformation, the eyes of the general and his aides, including the operational control agents downstairs, were all focused on one place.
Pop, pop, pop.
Due to the rapid deceleration, a whitish layer of air formed around it, until the orange color faded and it was broken into several pieces.
This was an act of removing the protective film that covered the surface for a long journey and separating other sub-objects.
In fact, despite the poor quality of the ground camera, the shape of the monster could be seen vaguely through the cracks in the debris.
There were three that were clearly half the size of one big one.
[Three of them are spinna-shaped crabs. I’m in 7th grade.]
Subsequently, as the monster analyst tries to figure out the identity, the air defense AI immediately issues an order to shoot down according to the protocol.
The target is 11 large batteries in the south of the Han River and southern Gyeonggi.
hard-
Shortly after the condensed energy formed on the jewels lined up in a row inside the barrel, a beam of light flashed into the sky.
The joys and sorrows are mixed in an instant.
[…] Got it right?]
“Two of them went off track. It is believed to have been pushed eastward after being hit, but the exact landing point is being identified.”
[What about the remaining two? Did you miss it?]
“… Yes.”
[…] Where did you fall?]
“This is Giheung, Yongin.”
For a moment, the security line was enveloped in silence. After discussions with government officials, the president let out a sigh of relief.
[What is the population of Giheung-gu? 320 thousand? Let’s get some damage estimates.]
That’s right, the third barrier.
It wouldn’t be difficult to defeat it as it is estimated to be a 4-6 level monster, but the fact that it didn’t land in Seoul right away was important.
[Are there any problems with the raid arrangement?]
“An HT group raid is waiting near the crash site.”
[Tsk, it’s a headache if you get involved alone. Another raid.]
“Anyway, since I was at the tip of the third barrier… We’ve adjusted the road signaling system, but it will take 20 minutes at least for other raiders to reach.”
[…] … .]
“If you really need it, even if you belong to the administration-”
[There’s no real exhaust, so it can’t be done. For now, let’s proceed like this.]
Therefore, all that remains is to decide on the presentation method. Government ministers were sharply at odds over how much to disclose to the public.
The reason is, it was because the monster analyst couldn’t define the guy who looked like a captain.
[Even if you see it for the first time, isn’t it between 4th and 6th grade after all?]
“… If not-”
[Let’s announce it in 6th grade. You said that the 6th grade is the most powerful for the sensory ability.]
“… … .”
Is it okay to make rash decisions on issues directly related to national security?
For some time there was an implicit exchange of communication between the generals. He hesitated to express a dissenting opinion to a superior, so the president opened his mouth again.
[Everyone, isn’t it okay to correct the monster level after the situation is sorted out? I have to think of something more important than that!]
“… … .”
[Establishing and destroying barriers are all done by humans. Let’s not encourage unnecessary fear. Yes?]
A look of displeasure was evident in the raised eyebrows, and it did not represent the position of the raiders, who would receive misinformation.

After a while, in front of the 2nd factory of HT Construction, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si.
Park Jeong-ho, the chief of C-9’s engineering team and long-distance dealer, looks around with deeply sunken eyes.
Based on the building we just stayed in, the front is lined with attached facilities, limiting our view.
However, since I couldn’t see the dust or smoke flying – the level of vigilance slowly went down.
“That’s Okay. You can come out.”
“… … .”
Soon after giving a signal with a hand gesture, Park Yoo-jin, whose face has turned dark yellow due to anxiety, approaches with quick steps.
Perhaps he was quite surprised by the shock wave that shook the factory site earlier, but even after checking his surroundings, he turned his head around.
In addition, until he was crying.
Even so, the reason I didn’t feel like I was bothered was because the girl who was younger than me had good manners.
“… sorry. I should have gone to the shelter right away, but I’m just staying there and causing trouble.”
“it’s okay. It’s still before the mission starts, and it’s just a matter of stopping by on the way, so what? It’s right in front of you. Just two blocks away.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“ah… What do you do when you run into a monster? I’m really, really, really sorry.”
“It’s okay, hehehe. It’s not even a lynx, and if you were close to it, all the heads around it would have turned upside down. Relax.”
After that, Park Jung-ho added an additional comment after joking that he might come after hearing the fuss.
I understand.
“You came here because you were worried, right? If it’s the first call, it’s worth it. Who would have thought that they would meet a monster all at once? We were drinking makgeolli, too.”
“… Yes. Perhaps-“
“Ah, then. So did my manager. But I wasn’t like that friend. It was when I was in the middle of my own good taste. I didn’t know how important people were. Anyway, don’t worry about industry reputation. I’ll spread the word well.”
“thank you!”
“What is gratitude? It’s because the person in question did a good job.”
Then, suddenly, he asked for the other person’s understanding and focused all his attention on the ear he had plugged in the wireless earphone.
An official subjugation mission, commonly referred to as a hero’s duty, was pouring in a message from the government.
[Raid code 00221-C-9, an official subjugation mission has arrived.]
[Level 6, Unregistered Entity.]
[Level 7, a spinner.]
[Check the mission area and support plan through the security terminal.]
The fact that he was finally able to check the satellite map made him feel better for a while, and when a 6th-level monster was mentioned, the engineer’s brow stiffened.
Aside from the fact that it was an unregistered object, the problem was that the [mental erosion] characteristic was attached from that level.
In other words, considering the probability of Lee Jun-ho’s PTSD being hacked, he said that the subjugation time should be shortened-
“… … .”
“… why?”
Can you see the boy who is hitting the parrot’s beak along with the guy with the grumpy expression… I thought waiting for support would be a wise choice.
But bondi, because things in the world don’t work out the way you want them to.
Immediately after taking out a cell phone for security purposes, Park Jeong-ho’s mouth completely hardens.
in satellite images.
The monster mark was stamped exactly two blocks ahead.
it’s a shelter
* * *
The situation worsened in an instant, so I had to scramble to follow C-9’s tail.
After putting the manager deep into the inner area of the factory, he went out and sprinted again.
I still haven’t been able to ask the new head of the proper responsibility (whether it was intentionally late informing me of the monster’s appearance), but it couldn’t be helped that there was a monster at close range.
＜How about running away now? It’s not a joke.＞
“… … .”
In the midst of this, the damned parrot follows and scratches the outfit while flying in the sky.
I’ll go to the forest and catch and eat bugs.
＜It’s true. I don’t even know what ability he has. Even if you can’t do it, it’s a 5th grade? You know what this means.＞
yes.
I knew.
It would be difficult to subdue a monster of level 5 or higher who specializes in physical abilities right now.
And at the same time, the fact that I won’t curl my tail until a human bumps into me… I knew very well.

Maybe, I didn’t know that it was sarcastic knowing about the flying tomatoes.
… do you harvest?
who?
＜Stubborn.＞
“… shut up.”
＜… … .＞
The moment when unpleasant emotions were contained in a low voice.
As we get past the first block and approach our destination, it becomes clear why even a worn-out veteran couldn’t notice the anomaly.
The closer you get, the more the landscape in front of you becomes slightly distorted.
To put it in more detail, it felt like I couldn’t keep up with the time that changes in real time.
In addition, the addition of tomatoes also stuck.
＜… It’s a [face mirror].＞
“what?”
＜It’s a small mirror. Fortunately, I didn’t get to [Myeong-gyeong (Clear Mirror)], probably because of my low rank.＞
“… … .”
＜They said they belonged to the smoke-bearing mirror. That’s not surprising.＞
“then-“
“Mikyung!”
I tried to ask how to respond to the skill I heard for the first time, but the engineering commander’s instructions preceded it, and soon a tanker with a prosthetic leg jumped out to the fore.
She may look like an ordinary lady on the outside, but on the left- the moment when the jewel embedded in the mechanical leg amplified the output.
It became a steam car.
Quadruped!
When the shoulder pads collided at one point, the illusion wall emitted an annoying noise and then obediently cleared the way.
The sight unfolding before your eyes… It’s not really pleasant.
A meteorite must have landed on top of the underground shelter, but the 4-story building had only the outline remaining and was putting out bare reinforcing bars.
In front of them, a 3-meter tall giant lizard is enjoying a bloody festival.
Hundreds of poison needles on the back plate were disgusting to look at, but the most important was the round lower tube that had bitten off human intestines.
“… … .”
“… X feet.”
In response, I used the resounding swear words as the background sound, and carefully scanned the iron doors and hundreds of corpses with stomachs hollowed out on the floor.
Grrr-
It was the first monster I had ever seen, but I could see that it was clever enough to breach the shelter and replenish my energy.
Yes.
It certainly wasn’t physics-specific.
“… battle preparation. There is no information received other than what is estimated to be 6th grade, so the selection is 1-2-3. The tanker is at the front, melee players on both sides, and the other three play the role of ranged dealers.”
“… brother.”
“Keep your mind straight. He recognized it.”
On the other hand, thanks to the leader’s immediate order – the archetype is corrected even in the midst of chaos.
“Ji, are you really fighting? I think they’re all dead anyway… … .”
Except for one person, Lee Jun-ho or something.
＜Hey, his head exploded. I suffered mental breakdown as it is. Even if it’s level 5 or higher… Whew. I can’t last more than a minute.＞
“… … .”
＜So let’s run away, so why are you having trouble buying it? It looks like it’s just about to clean up the poop.＞
what.
It was enough to motivate me.
