As I took my foot off, a few thoughts came to my mind and then subsided.
Although I made up my mind to subdue them all or kill them in some way, it was because the fundamental question was not resolved.
Who are they, where did they come from, and why did they come?
Of course, vague guesses were possible.
‘… It must be bloody and intertwined.’
It was here that the G&G Corp executive-level traitor Darryl left traces of his meeting with Pikal.
Robert, director of the Foreign Cooperation Bureau, must have sent us to this place.
However, only until there.
Anything more than that was unimaginable.
Darryl, a traitor who was related to the village, committed suicide, Sergei, who could have commanded the mercenaries, died, and Walter Grayson, a traitor who also served as the head, was being watched.
At least, it was safe to say that all the characters in the game I knew appeared.
However, there was another special forces here.
Of course, Pikal could have moved himself or hired a mercenary, but that possibility has hit rock bottom.
This is because Pikal is not from the military, so he does not know how to command the field, and he is not a character who will directly sign a contract with a mercenary and show himself in the front.
Even the character setting on the homepage was a behind-the-scenes figure or a secret existence.
Of course, all the stories have changed, so it was difficult to predict what would happen.
Turbuck.
I came to a conclusion in the blink of an eye taking one step.
‘Anyway… Grab it and see.’
If possible, it would be best to capture them alive and interrogate them, but it seemed difficult to do it at will.
It was because they showed actions and movements that could be judged as a minimum special forces unit, and the equipment they had was sufficient to counteract them.
“Three Charlies here, kill two enemies. clear.”
– One Charlie, three enemies. clear.
When I came out of the radio, Jake was also out in the hallway and aiming at the landing going down to the first floor.
A structure that bends in a ‘U’ shape.
In order to see the first floor, we had to go down the narrow stairs together.
If you were preparing to shoot in advance, going down could be a little more disadvantageous. Securing visibility was also a priority on the first floor.
However, that didn’t mean we couldn’t go down.
And I had to go down.
As the possibility of being exposed to the enemy was high, it had to be subdued as quickly as possible.
At that time, Jake moved from the side.
Click.
As if he was reading my mind, he removed the flash grenade from the plate carrier.
Even giving a hand signal to throw.
At the same time, it spread in a high-pitched voice.
“Since we are going to throw a flash grenade, Charlie 5 checks the situation outside, and after throwing, Delta checks the IR patch and shoots support from the window.”
After that, the answer came back quickly.
-Delta one, good reception.
-Charlie five, good reception.
At the same time, Jake’s hand tapped my thigh.
A sign of progress.
With the HK416 lightly on my shoulder, I turned on the infrared laser and slowly moved forward, only to reach the landing.
“Throw.”
Behind Jake’s low voice, the flashbang hit the wall and flew to the first floor.
Whiik – Tak! Tak-tak! Degur-
The moment when foreign noise filled the hallway through the sound of rain outside.
“damage!”
someone shouted.
Not exactly us, but the first floor that was quiet.
It was English, not the French or Arabic spoken in the Congo.
Then, after the sound of throwing one’s body with a clunky sound.
Pew-!
A flash grenade exploded.
I heard an explosion that rang in my ears, and at the same time the reflected light of the flash tube passed over my closed eyelids.
And then it’s my turn.
I quickly turned around the ‘U’-shaped landing and went down to the first floor.
At the same time, the internal structure was revealed.
‘Three doorways on the left and right, and one front door in the center.’
Reflexively recognizing the necessary information in a CQB situation, and being vigilant from the most dangerous place.
An open visit located closest to me.
There is a possibility that the enemy will suddenly pop out, so I took a step while paying attention.
No, I had to go down quickly.
It was because the stairs were narrow and difficult to cover from my side.
Then you have to look at it from behind, but that wasn’t a recommended tactical doctrine either.
The possibility of being hit by an accidental bullet was also high.
Of course, since I have a lot of shooting skills and experience, the chances of me getting hit by Jake’s bullets are slim, but it was different from shooting from the side.
In other words, I had to see that I had to deal with it alone now.
the moment it moved.
“… … !”
A muzzle appeared in the field of view.
A well-disciplined move to come out of the doorway and aim towards the hallway.
And not one, but two.
Just as me and Jake split up and search the room at the same time, they came out together and looked this way.
But like me and Jake, there were small differences between them.
It was because they were people, not machines, and there were differences in their proficiency in handling firearms, and their preferred postures were different, so they couldn’t move the same way.
One person pulled out a gun first, and then another person’s muzzle was exposed.
Of course, it didn’t take long.
At most, around 0.5 seconds.
I don’t know exactly because I can’t measure it with a stopwatch, but it was clear that it was in fractional seconds anyway.
And if it was that much of a difference, it would be possible to subdue it alone.
Empty!
once fired one shot.
Not the torso or head, but the arm holding the gun.
I couldn’t help it.
It was because a gun was coming out of the open door opposite.
Similarly, the arm part was exposed.
The moment he turned the muzzle, his index finger, which was still inside the trigger guard, moved without delay.
Burst! empty! Empty!
almost like a barrage. Completely incapacitated the enemy who was exposing his arms and then his upper body.
At the same time, a gunshot was heard from the side.
I went down a few steps while shooting, and Jake arrived beside me before I knew it.
He also completely suppressed the enemy I hit with a HK416 wearing the same silencer as mine.
And while aiming while moving the steps again.
To-do-do-do-du-!
Outside, from the window of the building, gunshots were heard.
A gunshot from an M4 with a silencer on.
Assuming that it belonged to Andrei, an ally who was on guard outside, the radio continued.
-This is a delta, 1st floor southeast room, take down 2 enemies. Need to be confirmed.
“Charlie Hana, good reception.”
Jake answered from the side, and soon raised the gun to exchange entry signals.
After coming to Marcus’ signal to move forward, touching his thigh from behind.
He pointed the gun and entered quickly.
And the moment I identified the enemy through the night vision goggles.
“Ugh!”
A sharp shock was felt near the pit of the stomach.
Then a gunshot was heard.
Valid!
My body staggered behind the sound of a half-beat delay.
Fortunately, the left hand was still holding the vertical grip and the barrel properly, and the index finger was applying pressure to the trigger.
In other words, both aiming and triggering were well done.
And soon the bullets were fired.
Empty! Thuddeong!
Do-do-do-do-do!
I hit the collarbone, neck, and head in turn, and Marcus entered after me and shot the body again, knocking the enemy down.
“lee?! are you okay?!”
He nodded at Marcus’ words.
I was hit because my bulletproof plate blocked it well, and my response was perfect even at the moment I collapsed.
It was also thanks to the characteristics, but it was possible by aiming at the enemy even while falling.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to demonstrate my abilities and would have hit the air.
While I was raising my body, Marcus held my arm as if to support me.
“Where did you hit? Wasn’t the bulletproof plate penetrated?”
“Uh, okay. I think I ate a knee kick in the stomach… Fortunately, I can move.”
It was worthwhile to buy a bulletproof plate with expensive money.
Even if a regular bulletproof plate blocks a bullet, it is because it is rare to block the impact from it.
Sometimes bones were broken or organs were ruptured.
Of course, I was also hit and breathless, but I had to assume that I was fine when I saw that I got up with help.
In the meantime, I heard Marcus’ voice.
“however… Even in the middle of it, I never thought I would get hit in the head.”
Marcus muttered that he had checked the body, then radioed Jake.
“Two Charlies, one enemy killed. clear.”
And by the time you come out into the hallway.
A gunshot rang through the silencer.
-This is Charlie 4, even the hiding mouse is cleared.
-… all clear.
After José, Jake’s voice was heard, and Rachel’s sonorous voice was also heard.
-There are five Charlies here, nothing special about the base.
After that, I took a deep breath and came out into the hallway, and Jake, who had also left the room, gave me a chin.
“Are there any injured?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Good thing. Then, as of the current time, conduct SSE (Sensitive Site Exploitation: information collection)… … .”
Jake, who was talking, moved his gaze to Marcus next to me.
“Marcus, I have something for you to check.”
“Is it explosive?”
Jake answered the question right away.
“Yeah, I don’t think the detonator and timer are connected, but I need to make sure it’s safe.”
At the same time, I also shook my head.
Although he was not active during the operation and was never revealed, Marcus’ main specialty was demolition.
He was a talented person who had also completed EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) training, and it was his job to install explosives on the door when opening passages.
Of course, Jake didn’t dare to step out because Jake had picked them all up with one sack.
Anyway, he was the one who knew the explosives best in this room.
“Then let’s see.”
Then Marcus entered the room.
After checking the chambers of his automatic pistol P226, Jose came to my side.
“We’re going to find out who these suspicious bastards are.”
“Yes, start from the second floor and come down.”
“On the second floor… uh? Come to think of it, there are 12 of them all.”
“ah… … .”
I immediately understood the meaning of the 12 people.
It was the same number as the number of personnel in one detachment of the US 2nd tier special forces Special Forces, also known as the Green Berets.
And the same goes for special forces in Korea that were influenced by the special force.
Along with SAS’s 16-man organization, the 12-person organization was one of the most used team units worldwide.
From there, I was able to reduce it to even numbers such as 8, 6, or 4 people.
“how is it? Aren’t you very suspicious? Aren’t you an active duty soldier?”
“Uh, I wouldn’t be an active duty soldier.”
Although it is not impossible, it was because there were no active special forces focused on Westerners among the opponents in Lareple.
At least a few Russians and Chinese.
Other than that, most of the active soldiers in the game were on the righteous side fighting terrorists.
“… Let’s start with SSE first.”
While sweeping the second floor with Jose, and sweeping the first floor as well.
“Gather together for a moment.”
Before he knew it, Jake called Andrei, who was waiting outside, inside.
“Move to the nearest base from here and capture prisoners… I’m thinking of blowing up the warehouse where the Technical (civilian armed vehicle) will be located, what do you think?”
“You say fly?”
Andrei asked, and Marcus answered instead.
“There are quite a few explosives in this house, including solid TNT. There is also a line that can be fired from a distance.”
“Oh, yes?”
Andrei, who was only guarding the outside in the rain, asked back, and Jake opened his mouth again.
“Enemy will react in the event of an explosion, but considering the level of M23 and the rainy night situation, it will be a simple retreat rather than an all-out war, so you can get out safely.”
Jose nodded his head as if imagining the situation, and I nodded too.
It was impossible to leave or take explosives, and there was nothing good about leaving the enemy’s technical calm.
Blowing together was the best option.
Before I knew it, Andrei’s mouth opened as if it had been torn horizontally.
“We will finally see the New Year’s celebration fireworks.”
