Survival Specialist (3)
People become sharp when their lives are threatened, and I couldn’t be an exception.
＜The fireworm is looking for you. The good news is that I’m not as good at sensing as the guy I met last time. Seeing as they randomly attack humans, it must be assumed that they don’t know the exact location. Fortunately, the unfortunate thing is that we are the next target to be pursued.＞
“… Any free time?”
＜At most 8 minutes.＞
“I also sent an armored car.”
＜At least I sent a bait and caught it in 8 minutes. As long as he’s acting alone, this distance doesn’t make sense.＞
In the middle of moving to the mountains, thanks to muttering to myself like a madman, eyes are flocking to me, but I do my job regardless.
It was something to survive and see whether it aroused suspicion or not.
“reconnaissance. Go up and see.”
＜… yes yes, i have to go A sad bird must fly away.＞
The parrot grumbles, but quickly flies into the darkness, and at the same time, the mercenary commander who was walking side by side opens up.
“Impressive. Is that a skill too?”
“… It’s similar.”
＜Is it similar? similar?＞
Subsequent remarks were ignored.
Because there are many things to consider.
Under the light that illuminates at most four or five meters, I dig through my head and bring up memories of the past.
The current location is less than Munsan-eup, area C, and the direction is set to the east.
Looking back on the time when I was mobilized for frontline defense in my previous life, the proper production area… At least 3 kilometers had to go further.
It was full of hills and bushes everywhere, but in reality it was only a hill, and it was not suitable to completely defeat the pursuit of fire worms.
So, around the time I reached the first hill, I used my tongue to convince the actual leader, the mercenary commander.
It is better to be led by a middle-aged person than by a fifteen-year-old boy.
“I wonder if it would be better to move quickly from here. As the vegetation is lush, it will not attract attention like the flat land.”
“Is it possible?”
However, he gives a skeptical reply and a backward glance.
Whoops, whoops-
Couldn’t drive away the fear with a couple of flashlights, the idiots with reserve hero titles seemed to have consumed a lot of stamina.
damn it
It looks like this even though I walked on flat ground.
“It is not a matter of possibility. If you don’t, you die.”
“You are right. You keep surprising me. positively.”
“… The route is from Munsan-eup to Paju-eup as planned. The method of movement is to go from ridge to ridge, and after entering the mountainous area, it would be better to reduce the lighting. I leave only one on.”
“Lights?”
“Yes. I will break through the road.”
After a moment of embarrassment, the mercenary commander found a convincing answer on his own.
“Is this, by any chance, related to superpowers?”
“… It’s similar.”
right is right
It’s just that the parrot is using [Three-Dimensional Sensing], not me.
＜Looking at this, they call it Huga-Howei (the fox borrows the power of the tiger).＞
“… … .”
＜Anyway, now we have to get on the mountain. The armored car is destroyed.＞
Therefore, I moved to the rear.
In his left hand was an open water container. Contrary to the expectations of the aspiring heroes, the purpose was not to quench their thirst.
charleuk-
A bird making a noise as the stream of water touches the dirt floor, I explain the plan while staring at the shocked eyes.
There were two reasons for getting tired quickly.
If you waste your strength on unnecessary emotions or give up because you don’t know what you’re aiming for.
Even if the former could not be controlled, the latter had to be controlled.
“I will move to the mountains from now on. The destination is to the southeast… It’s about 15 kilometers away. There’s another 10 kilometers down there to get to the Third Wall, but there’s a village before that. You can rest there.”
“… … .”
The sight of dumping water on the floor must have been quite shocking, so no specific answer came back.
That wasn’t a bad reaction.
“You just have to follow well. Tap the back of the person in front of you every 3 minutes to send a hand signal that it is safe, and if there is a problem, tap it three times. Light will only be used in the lead-”
“… What if I can’t follow you?”
“It’s about being free. From then on, you will find your own way to live. Because I don’t have the energy to take care of anyone.”
“… … .”
One after another, it was said that the muzzle should never be used and that the movement speed would not change significantly as it was a mountainous area.
He makes a request, not a request, and at the end, he points to the damp dirt floor and exhales in a commanding tone.
“Paint it.”
“what?”
“To paint. You stink too much.”
“… … .”
“I’m not forcing even the hair. However, be sure to apply it to the nape of the neck, the back of the ears, and the top. Otherwise, the tainted beasts will show undue interest.”
By that I meant to cover at least some of it with mud.
The two girls glared at me for making such a great request.
“On the same side, try to refrain from excrement. I don’t know about sweat, but it’s difficult to urinate. Just wait until it arrives.”
“… … .”
“… Can’t you stand it?”
Read from noble mtl dot com
Mmm.
Again, I didn’t understand.
* * *
There was no delay in the party’s footsteps.
It was because the position was being checked in real time using satellite GPS, and the mercenary commander swung a jungle sword and cleared the way.
and in the meantime.
Lee Yong-soo was walking back and forth in the dark, having broken away from the ranks.
＜View right, 15 degrees. A tainted adder is perched on a tree branch.＞
Soon after the combat boots stepped on the trunk of a tree once, the head that came into contact with the gauntlet exploded with a pop.
Pass, thump!
Because he picked up the corpse of the monster and grew up to 4 meters tall, his body fell and caused additional noise.
＜Eight meters ahead, it’s a tunnel trap. It’s more than 6 meters deep, and it’s dug in an empty space between rocks.＞
“… okay.”
Since the field of vision is not secured, it is worth checking the surroundings with [Beginner’s Insanity], but the boy advances silently while saving his special ability.
While the mole’s traps did not overlap with the party’s route, they were ignored, while the red deer horn mushrooms and large beetles were manually used.
It was enough for the mushroom to throw a dagger before sending out poisonous spores, and for an infected insect to tear off one wing.
＜Look at the sharp snout. If I had left it alone, it would have sucked up the body fluids of people. Why don’t we just pick one for fun? Who did you hate the most out of all the thugs?＞
“… next.”
Regardless of the parrot’s joke, I had to move quickly to get rid of the danger, so I activated [Beginner Psychokinesis].
Retrieve the poisoned dagger into the scabbard.
＜Twenty-five meters later, a colony of earthworms.＞
“Is it contaminated?”
＜If it’s not polluted, it’s just a plant that eats mayflies. I have no reason to say.＞
Again, there is no time to rest.
At the same time, those who were walking along the line of light in the lead slowed down once again.
Kung, puck, wood-deuk, pants.
What kind of a fuss was going on? I heard a series of eerie noises, which made my imagination run wild.
‘Aren’t they already dead?’
‘If I go missing here, it’s a dog’s death.’
‘He must have been a real madman… … .’
If the majority of Team Manuvia opted for negative thoughts, the case was slightly different for the elite team at Hatch International.
Especially the mercenary commander, no.
Heo Do-won, who leads the task force (temporarily organized organization), was belatedly stepping into the mysterious realm.
At first, I let it go because I thought there was nothing to lose in my interests and cooperative attitude, but after entering the forest, I clearly crossed the line.
Whether it’s a person with special powers or a normal person, half of the deaths outside the barriers are due to the harsh environment-
sigh!
“Captain, isn’t that the cry of a bee? Is it okay just to watch it like this?”
“… VIPs are melee dealers too. If you are in a hurry, you can get help.”
“That’s the case, but why does it feel like I’m not doing anything… … .”
“… … .”
The boy who said he would clear the road was in the process of building a two-lane road.
rustle.
They said that the tiger would come if I said it, and just in time, the person who jumped out of the bush on the left gave information to Heo Do-won.
I didn’t even pay attention to the gun pointed at me, and looking again, I didn’t look like a resident inside the barrier.
“There’s a colony of ground-ears 5 meters away. Hands down, don’t fire. You just have to go through it.”
“… Just let it go.”
“Yes. It has a habit of hiding when predators appear, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“If you are a predator-”
“I’ve stepped on it in moderation.”
“… … .”
In response, a middle-aged man from the Navy SEALs (US Navy Special Forces) looks into the other person’s face.
A flat face that is not normal.
There were no side effects of eating contaminated crops or parts attacked by animals.
“… Are there any problems?”
“no. no. For now, I will just follow the GPS signal.”
“Please.”
But in reality, even that is not all Lee Yong-soo has.
Shortly after crossing several ridges and reaching the destination, the mercenary commander’s doubts sublimate into disbelief.
Even if the performance of the previous battle was thanks to the knowledge gained from the book by making a hundred concessions, the case of negotiations with the wild people was different.
“ah… Everything has come.”
“Can I rest now?”
“You absolutely need to rest. It took four hours.”
The moment when dozens of stone houses were placed on the bedrock, in a space where vegetation had receded, to greet the young heroes.
Residents greet each other with crude arrows.
puck!
“12 o’clock, close to combat-”
When an arrow hits the pine tree behind him, Heo Do-won reflexively tries to raise his voice.
Suddenly, the alloy armor pulled down the muzzle.
“it’s okay. calm down.”
“But-“
“If you’re going to hit it, you hit it right away.”
“… … .”
The boy makes eye contact for a moment to regain his composure, then steps forward a couple of steps and screams at an appropriate volume.
“I’m here to trade!”
“… … .”
silent answer.
As the mercenaries moved quietly to a concealed spot, the second proposal quickly resonated.
That means there are two capsules of antibiotics and a bottle of saline.
Then, a couple of stones fell from one side of the wall, and sharp blue eyes appeared through the cracks.
“… Who are you?”
“Don’t ask if you know.”
“It’s illuminated, so you can’t see it from this side.”
“yes. As you say, it shines a ‘light’.”
“… … .”
Faint voices emanate from beyond the stone wall at the hidden identity.
There seems to be a difference of opinion on how to respond.
It wasn’t long before a voice from the front appeared and announced the refusal.
“I don’t deal with insiders. go back.”
“Unfortunately, it is not a matter for you to choose. We need a place to rest and some food.”
“… I heard a rumor that a wave is coming, but are they losers?”
And this time, it was Lee Yong-soo’s turn to burst into ridicule.
“You have to follow the rules of the trade. Information is also a commodity.”
“… … .”
I’ve been rolling outside the barrier for years, and I’m trying to do a clumsy trick.
