In a high-speed flight, I headed to the base known as the league’s stronghold.
The place I reached was about 2km from the base in the sky.
“Well.”
I slowly began to examine the fortress in the distance. I had already seen the information handed over at the party, a lot of photos, and 3D models, but seeing it in real life, I could see why it was called the Fortress of Heaven.
If I had not come here, I would have passed by as an ordinary bare mountain. This fortress was a place where a mountain was dug and facilities were built in it, and it was a structure that could be bombarded on all paths that could enter the fortress.
As the league forces in the United States were considerable, the weapons that defended the fortress were the latest American equipment. These were excellent at dealing with humans as well as monsters.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Because it doesn’t belong to me in any case.
I sprinted through the air and tried to enter the fortress straight away. As soon as the short distance was covered by a high-speed flight, a loud warning sound began to resound throughout the mountain.
Wow!
As soon as it sensed the presence of an intruder, it was quick to go into alert.
Kwajik!
The bullet was welcomed on the day we entered the interior through the entrance we had identified in advance.
Doo doo doo doo!
A huge amount of bullets from the submachine gun collided with the Posmak and fell to the floor. It is firepower that would have turned into a beehive in an instant if it had not been defended.
“Get away!”
I ignored them and ran to them, and the villains started screaming and trying to spread the distance.
But guns were not only used by them, but me too.
puck!
One of the villains’ head, who was about to run away, broke and fell. As much as I was confined in a small space and fired bullets, I was able to launch an onslaught in a small space.
“Ah, it’s an arrow gift!”
“Hey, sniper! Whoops!”
All the villains that were blocking the force bullets I cast died.
What used to be their strengths turned out to be my strengths.
[The world is not fair.]
It was the strong minority, not the weak majority, that exerted power in a small space.
Since I was familiar with the internal location, I started heading straight to the control room.
This fortress can accommodate up to 5,000 people, but after using it in the league, it is said that there are at least 500 to a maximum of 1,000 people staying there.
Since that number cannot be considered large, as it is the core fortress of the North American continent, elite personnel are deployed, so if you clear this place, at least one limb will be a lost blow.
In fact, it is said that the most probable operation plan is not to mobilize armored vehicles, bombers, attack helicopters, etc., but to infiltrate a small number of extremely strong Awakeners and take control of the control room.
Taking control of the control room will soon disable the fortress.
It was time for me to head to the control room, clearing out all the villains that stood in my way.
Kaga!
Iron bars came down in front of me and blocked the path. I immediately reached out and cast mines.
But the results were surprising.
Kaang!
The mines crushed the iron bars, but could not break them. How does this material hold up?
As I was about to use my hands again, an explosion occurred in front and behind me.
Kwagwang! Kwagwagwagwang!
It was such a violent explosion that I couldn’t see it before my eyes. Most Awakeners became six pieces, and even superhumans were mortally wounded, but it did not give me any shock as I wore a dracula leather coat with a posmak.
Still, it was clear that it was a drastic decision.
[I’m guessing you’re trying to buy some time?]
I also agree with Yong-yong’s words.
“I think this will be delayed and everyone will run away.”
I’ll try my best to catch it though. I ripped off the iron bars and headed straight to the control room. There was some intermittent resistance, but there was a noticeable weakness in the will to stop.
When I finally got to the control room, I clicked lightly.
“He ran away.”
It felt like there were countless people here just before. The warmth of people and the sweat they shed was transmitted as an afterimage.
You might think that I just grabbed a small dagger and made a fuss, but I had a different opinion.
The fact that he left his seat so quickly after seeing me come was that he knew who I was. And running away without hesitation would mean that there is something more important to protect than a good heart.
The hacker was here.
I was sure
“It’s rather good.”
I looked around and searched for a place for an emergency exit.
[Here!]
I hid it, but it didn’t take long to find it. Yong-yong, who is free from the constraints of space, found it right away. I immediately ripped open the entrance and went inside.
When we reached the end of the emergency passage, a land with no foundation at all was revealed. And right in front of it was an endless expansive sea.
However, no trace was found, even though many fled. As if disappeared into the sky.
The situation is unexpected, but there is no reason to panic.
If it was an enemy, where would you go to escape with certainty?
sky and sea.
Among them, there is only one way to completely escape without being caught in my sight.
right in the sea
“Is it fun?”
* * *
“Out of range.”
“Um, it was hard.”
The hacker, Andersson, gently opened his eyes. A brilliant genius among geniuses from the United States, he did not like the reality of having to run away in a hurry, so he raised his eyebrows.
The world has always had to keep an eye on the league. Even the United States, the world’s most powerful country, and even the party that ruled the world from the shadows.
It was himself and the league superhumans who made it that way. However, one catastrophic being out of control ruined everything.
“Headbreaker.”
How did they become like this, who were growing their momentum as if they were swallowing up the world.
Even the brilliant Argos was feeling disappointed at the existence of the Head Breaker.
Seeing that, I applied for this operation to create a reversal.
Argos stopped him, but he thought that the hacker had to figure out the subject of those who ran wild without knowing his subject.
But it was a trap.
Headbreakers have ties to the US government and the party.
The purpose is probably yourself.
“It was a trap. I didn’t expect a head breaker to last so long.”
“It was a collaboration between the party and the US government. It has been prevented with minimal damage.”
“The loss of the most valuable base in North America was minimized.”
“Head Breaker in itself is considered a disaster more than a divine beast or a plus-plus-level monster, Argos assessed. In fact, if we had been a little late, we might have encountered a head breaker who had reached the control room.”
The hacker nodded at the adviser’s words.
The inaction of the head breaker I actually saw was beyond my imagination.
Even that blessed fortress could not catch the head breaker’s ankle.
If it was even a little late, he and his men would have been caught by the head breaker.
“know. And that monster is beyond imagination. It’s not long before the big event, and a monster like that will appear in the world.”
“Headbreakers are risky but less aggressive. If you give up what you have to give and surely reap what you will reap, you will be able to succeed.”
“Great.”
A member of the Zodiac and the most thoroughly guarded in the league, he is one of the Awoken who can handle all electronic devices.
In fact, it has the highest bounty in the world along with Argos, and has achieved the most significant achievements in several large-scale wars.
But all these abilities were powerless in front of the head breaker.
“I just can’t get over it.”
Still, the hacker didn’t want to stand still. Travel by submarine and arrive in Hawaii. There, they plan to launch hacking in earnest to destroy the fortress and indiscriminately bombard the US government with a warning meaning.
It was impossible with his existing abilities, but it was possible if he used the boost.
As a result, he would suffer serious aftereffects, but he could not stand it without taking a bite.
Soon after, their submarine arrived in Hawaii.
Hawaii was still a territory of the United States, but its control was significantly weakened due to the sea monsters and the sky monsters.
So, until now, it is operating in a semi-independent state, and is cooperating with the league to the extent that it does not receive help from the center.
Even in the U.S., they are aware of this fact, but are unable to touch it.
It was a free city that was virtually neglected because it would not be effective unless it provided near-unlimited support.
The hacker who came out after docking the submarine went straight ahead. It is known that the US government and the party have colluded with the head breaker, so follow-up measures must be taken.
“Contact Argos.”
You need to use boosts and get permission to fire indiscriminately.
That was then.
“Hey, hey! monster!”
“What… … !”
The moment a scream was heard from behind, the hacker reflexively flew away at the chilling energy that attacked his body.
After narrowing the distance, he staggered out of his seat and saw an unbelievable sight in his eyes.
The aide who had assisted him all the way here was lying with a corpse with his head exploded. And there was a handsome young man who was rubbing the blood and brain from his hands on his coat.
“Are you a hacker? I almost got tired of waiting.”
* * *
It was an unexpected escape.
The means of escape of the hackers who abandoned their base was a submarine. As soon as I found it, I followed the submarine without blowing it up to get a hacker’s gift, and I thought that the destination would be another stronghold in the league.
[You, who followed me for that, are also amazing.]
Predicting the destination was not difficult. Looking at the direction the submarine was heading, I guessed it was headed for Hawaii and arrived on time.
Even if I run away, it’s in the palm of my hand.
[How can such a person be given high-speed flight? The world has become dangerous, it has become dangerous.]
Rather, it was Yong-yong who misled the idea of becoming more peaceful.
[In that case, why not just kill them all?]
If so, what is the difference between a villain and a villain?
[Would it be similar in the eyes of others?]
crossing the line.
I also have to achieve my goals, so I fixed my gaze on the hacker without further arguing with Yong-yong.
Hacker Anderson. Born in the United States and known for his genius, he possessed a gift to hack into electronic equipment, forcing the US government and parties to watch the league grow.
From the outside, it doesn’t look very strong.
It was true that you belonged to the zodiac due to your hacking ability.
“Yes, you boy.”
“If you’re going to roll your hair, you’ll roll it right, it’s too obvious.”
I approached the hacker. With a tired expression on his face, he staggered backwards. Then the door on the other side, which had been firmly closed, opened and a group of people appeared.
They’re the base of the league, so they’re supposed to be villains.
However, the identities of the guys who appeared were not the villains of the league.
Among them was a familiar face.
“Choi Jun-ho… … !”
“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
The man who was astonished at me was Hwanwol Nakayama, who used to be a Japanese superman and now left for an international mercenary corps. The guy who betrayed Japan twice and is more reviled than the three evils of the league is winning and winning in the international mercenary corps.
Wasn’t this the base of the international mercenaries, not the base of the league?
“Why are you here?”
“… This is one of our bases.”
I knew the international mercenaries and the league were close, but they were closer than I thought.
Nakayama added, as if he had noticed my thoughts.
“Don’t get me wrong. We are a partnership that fills in each other’s shortcomings.”
“okay? But I guess I’ll have to get your allies now.”
A partnership with the League should stop me from catching hackers.
But Nakayama’s judgment was quicker.
“Let’s pretend we didn’t see it.”
“You bastard! Are you breaking the contract between the league and the mercenaries? Argos will not stand still!”
The hacker burst into anger, but Nakayama’s expression was calm.
“Life is more important than contract.”
“Hey, these mercenaries forgot grace… Whoops!”
It’s a pity to be betrayed, but if you’re not going to be betrayed, you should have had enough skills.
In the first place, mercenaries are such a tribe.
I grabbed the hacker’s neck and broke his arms and legs. Seeing that he couldn’t even strike a proper counterattack, he confirmed that his combat power was lower than expected.
“I will write your gift well.”
“Oh, no… … !”
Screaming or not, he put his hand into his chest. The fluttering boy’s eyes clouded and he died.
It’s a futile death compared to its notoriety, but that’s what human life is all about.
After taking the hand out of the heart and copying the gift, I felt the hack was in place.
I’ll have to go back and take a look at it slowly.
Until then, Nakayama and other mercenaries showed no movement. They tried to use their hands as soon as they did something stupid, but they have developed survival instincts.
“When the business is over, we want to go.”
“Where are you going?”
“What I saw today, I will keep it a secret. So let it go.”
Anyone who sees it would know that I was willing to send it away.
“When you come, it’s up to you, but not when you go.”
If you let them live for free, other guys will constantly try to negotiate the price of their lives.
I can’t see it like that.
“Give me the price of your lives.”
“A life worth? How much… … .”
“Presenting the line.”
