Episode 132

It would be a mistake to think that the higher-order behavior of learning is exclusive to mutants.

From the time humans first chased mammoths, they were creatures who knew how to think and learn.

This was also the case for us, who had fought many battles against mutants over the years.

Various countermeasures were derived through discussion, comparison, and even simulation.

Of these, the flashbang grenade was arguably the most ingenious method.

ping!

A flash grenade is a weapon commonly considered non-lethal, used to confuse enemies with light and sound.

But I thought the light-sensitive Q2 would receive almost as much impact as a grenade.

Phew!

Kkaaaaaaah-!!

As if to prove this, Q2, who was hit directly by a flash grenade, screamed in pain.

It is the appearance of someone who cannot easily come to their senses in the face of the tremendous light and loud noise they are experiencing for the first time.

Not missing this opportunity, I aimed the SX3 on my back and pulled the trigger.

Boom!

Boom!

A deadly slug was fired into the pelvic region, which was weak compared to its large body.

Squeak!

Q2, who had been staggering, screamed once again and fell to the floor as if collapsing.

And as if he sensed something was wrong, he quickly tried to get out of that place.

ping!

Phew!

But the flashbangs that kept flying in blocked the escape route, preventing even such an attempt.

A narrow space, flashing lights, and slugs flying in, aiming precisely at vital points.

Q2, whose anger gauge was already full, howled like a wild beast.

Kkaaaaaaah-!!

Just from screaming, the hairs on my head stood on end and a tingling sensation ran down my thighs.

As expected, Q2, who had entered a frenzy, ran towards me with a scream.

But unfortunately, we here are professionals who have already hunted countless mutants.

As soon as I gave the signal, the group took out their pneumatic harpoon guns and fired as if they had been waiting.

Phew!

Kwajik!

The spear gun that was made to catch Q1 hit the center of Q2’s body this time.

Then, as the group pulled the rope connected to the man, the one who was running fell over.

Doo doo doo doo doo-!!

Boom!

Boom!

Jin-kyung Kim and I, holding shotguns, pressed forward on both sides, while Private Oh Chan-il and Olivia, positioned behind us, aimed only at the head with accurate shots.

Q2 screamed helplessly in the perfect position that didn’t even give him room to escape.

It was at that time that the bullet shell that had popped out was kicked by my foot and blood was soaking the floor.

I kept pulling the trigger and pulling it again, and I confirmed that Q1’s movement had completely stopped.

“Cease fire!”

When the signal to cease fire was given, the group lowered their guns as if they had been waiting.

As the acrid gunpowder smoke cleared, a writhing mass of flesh came into view.

Kkieeee… … .

Q2, whose entire body was bruised, made a pitiful sound with the snout that was lucky to remain.

Sreung!

But regardless, I pulled out my jungle knife and quickly approached the guy.

At the same time, he raised his hands up with all his might and struck down the neck that connected his body and head.

Kwajik!

As the nerve bundle snapped, the red eyes that had been staring at me slowly lost their light.

After confirming that Q2 was completely dead, I smashed its head cleanly and turned around.

The group was checking their guns and remaining ammunition as if they were familiar with this sight.

“… … .”

But on the contrary, the PMC agents who encountered Q2 for the first time were collectively dumbfounded.

Let’s take a closer look. Where was the real leader, Manager Choi, and only half of the staff remained.

I approached the PMC agent who was still dazed and shook his right shoulder.

“Hey!”

“ah.”

“Now that it’s over, come to your senses.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

As a slight shock was applied to his body, the PMC agent finally came to his senses and looked this way.

But the eyes that were looking back and forth between the fallen Q2 and us were still trembling.

I waited a moment for them to calm down, then looked around at the chaos and asked.

“Where did Manager Choi go?”

“They’re probably on the other side.”

“You moved separately?”

“Yes, we’re going to split up into teams and search… … .”

It is true that it is more efficient to split into teams and search rather than rushing in as a group.

But splitting the team when you don’t know what dangers lie inside is suicidal.

I thought he was being too funny when he was on set, but I never thought he would make such a fatal mistake right from the start.

I could only click my tongue slightly as I looked at the four PMC agents left.

“Try the radio first.”

“Okay, I understand.”

As the building is large, there is a high probability that many Q2s will nest there, just like in the case of Biozeneca.

Manager Choi’s side is not safe at the moment either, so we need to join as soon as possible.

I tried to wipe the blood from my face as I watched the PMC agent hastily pull out his radio.

“Mr. Daesu.”

But at that moment, Jin-kyung Kim, who had been observing something closely, cautiously called out to me.

When I went to see what was going on, she was looking at Q2’s body lying there with his throat cut off.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I just found something strange.”

Kim Jin-kyung pushed the mangled corpse with her foot as if telling people to look at it for themselves, showing them a part of it.

To be exact, it was the area on the right side of my waist, but there was something a little strange.

“What is this… … .”

There was a huge wound on his waist, as if the flesh had been grabbed and torn off whole.

Deep enough to pierce through the tough skin and cause the intestines to spill out.

The wounds we inflicted were obviously not real, and appeared to have occurred before the fight broke out.

“Could it be the same Q2 did it?”

“I don’t know.”

It is not unusual for Q2s to attack each other as they are cannibalistic for evolution.

But the thing mostly chews with its sharp teeth like a beast or swings its huge arms.

No matter how strong one was, it was impossible to rip off a whole piece of flesh like this.

Is this a new evolved form?

Or some other variant we don’t know about?

For a while, I was unable to escape from complicated thoughts as I faced this strange phenomenon whose identity I could not identify.

But at that moment, the PMC agent who had been trying to establish a radio connection approached me, lost in thought.

“The radio isn’t working.”

“yes?”

“The signal is going, but no communication is being received.”

Even though we sent another radio transmission from this side, Manager Choi’s side was not picking up the communication.

I quickly got up from my seat at the signal that clearly indicated that something unusual had occurred.

“How much ammo do you have left?”

“That’s enough.”

“Then let’s go right away. We’ll take the lead, so please stay behind.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The moment they realized that there was a mutant Q2, the battle of pride between the two sides became meaningless.

After losing three of their comrades, the PMC agents finally came to their senses and promised to cooperate.

After completing all the preparations, we followed Manager Choi, who had gone in the opposite direction.

* * *

The interior of the building definitely had a strong sense of silence when I first entered.

But now that I realized that there was Q2, everything just seemed dreary.

Cold sweat gathers on the back.

My shoulders and eyelids are getting increasingly sore.

We must not let our guard down even for a moment, as we do not know when or where Q2 will appear.

My companions and I, as usual, stood shoulder to shoulder and began to secure the area one by one.

‘quiet.’

Q2, which has a clear territory for each other, never builds a nest in a place where there are other species.

Perhaps that is why no traces or signs were found while going to the opposite area.

But the problem was that Manager Choi, who was supposed to be here, was nowhere to be seen.

“Is this the right way?”

“Yes, I definitely heard it was here.”

If you’ve been attacked, it’s normal that there should be some kind of trace left behind.

Even if it’s Q2, it’s impossible to kill a person without leaving a single bloodstain.

But they disappeared from their starting point as if they had evaporated.

This is something that ghosts would cry about.

The PMC agents were terrified by the series of strange phenomena, and the group’s expressions were not good.

I paused for a moment to reflect on the area I had no more room to explore.

Hehe!

“… … ?”

But at that moment, Coco, who had been quietly following me, suddenly started wagging her tail like crazy.

The boy stamped his front paws and pulled at his clothes as if he had smelled something he wanted.

what.

Did you smell it?

I quickly signaled to the guy waiting for directions and told him to follow the scent.

Then Coco ran towards the opposite hallway, wiggling her short legs.

We quickly followed him and soon reached the bathroom at the end of the hallway.

Was there a place like this?

I thought there was only one bathroom in the lobby, so I cautiously followed Coco in.

Sniff sniff!

Coco, who came into the bathroom, kept flaring her nose to chase after the VIP’s perfume.

A moment later, as if the trail had ended here, he began to scratch at the toilet partition.

“Who is there?”

“… … .”

“If you have any, please answer. This is the rescue team.”

Inside the locked partition, there were clearly signs of people crouching about.

But no matter how much I called, there was no answer, so I lowered my gun and went to the side partition.

Then he stood on the toilet and stuck his head out toward the locked stall.

As expected, inside was a woman with disheveled hair, trembling all over.

“Hey.”

“Hee, heek!”

When I spoke to her, she was startled and then fell to the floor.

Then he looked up with a face of disbelief and answered with a trembling voice.

“Jin, are you a real person?”

“Yes, this is the rescue team.”

“Really? The rescue team has finally arrived?”

When she heard that they had come to rescue her, the woman jumped up with a face that looked like she was about to cry.

The eyes looking at me were filled with relief, joy, and resentment.

“Please come out first.”

“yes yes.”

The woman had been hiding in the partition for so long that her legs were weak and she could not walk properly.

I had no choice but to support him with one arm and asked for his name to confirm his identity.

“What is your name?”

“It’s raining.”

It matched the name of one of the VIPs confirmed in the documents, or to be exact, the chairman’s daughter.

Finally, after checking everything, including the impression, I took her out of the bathroom.

The morale of the rescue team, which had been depressed, rose slightly with the news that one of the VIPs had been secured.

“Do you happen to know where the other VIPs are? Even the last location is fine.”

“Huh? Can’t we just go back by ourselves? We’re all probably dead anyway… … .”

No, have you ever seen such a piece of shit? No matter what, we’re in the same group, so why are we leaving him here?

All the team members present grimaced in awe at the incredible personality that surpassed expectations.

Then, Kang Soo-ji sneakily glanced around, as if she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue.

“I, I don’t know the details. When I came to, I was hiding in the bathroom here.”

Perhaps the VIPs, including Kang Soo-ji, were attacked by the influx of Q2 and scattered in all directions.

Even if she was lucky enough to survive, there was no guarantee that the other VIPs would be spared.

Manager Choi disappeared, the VIPs that needed to be rescued were scattered, and it was truly a total mess.

I took out the satellite phone in my pocket to report the situation.

Woof woof! Woof!

“… … !”

But at that moment, Coco and Volvo, who had been sitting still, started barking like crazy.

The surprised group and PMC agents quickly split into two sides and aimed their guns.

Is it Q2?

Damn, I think I got followed.

I quickly unlocked the safety device and grabbed it, staring at the end of the dark hallway.

Still, I was confident that I could fight as I had enough flashbangs and spear guns.

[hey!]

“… … ?”

[Hey! Over here, over here!]

But what was heard at the end of the hallway was not Q2’s scream, but a human scream.

It was a tense PMC agent who responded to a voice that sounded familiar.

“… … Manager Choi?”

Yes, that’s definitely Manager Choi’s voice.

He was calling out in a desperate voice, as if asking for help to find him at the end of the hallway.

[hey!]

[Hey! Over here, over here!]

Asking you to come here means that there are wounded soldiers who are unable to move or who need assistance.

The PMC agents, who had become anxious, tried to rush to help Manager Choi.

But at that moment, Kang Su-ji, who had been fine until just a moment ago, suddenly began to tremble.

“No, no… … .”

“Miss Suzy?”

“Ahhhh! No! Don’t go!”

She screamed as if she had seen a ghost and grabbed the agents by the waist.

Even in the midst of all this, Manager Choi’s voice could be heard repeatedly from the end of the dark hallway.

[hey!]

Just like a radio.

[Hey! Over here, over here!]

Continue on.
