Steel eating player chapter 34
Rain over the waves-1
==========================
Seo Eun-ha was unable to leave work until midnight was over.
It was because of her main job, writing a “Strategic Report,” which was a lot of incidents recently, and the work to be dealt with was piled up.
“Oh, it’s the waist….”
As you can see, the position of the target platoon leader was hard work in both body, mind, and both sides.
However, as much as that, the promotion is solid, and it draws a sharp upward upward curve.
Tak- tak- tak- tak-
She used the commonly used eagle batting technique by alternating between keyboards and monitors.
Sergeant Ik-joon Kang argued that the cause of frequent overtime work was actually due to the slow batter.
She was strongly denied, but honestly… it seemed to make sense to some extent.
“Through, attack, post-response and, uh, um- secure, that, report the result, um, end!”
After hitting enter for the last time at the end of that long and long march, he kicked up his chair and stretched.
“It’s finally over! Uh-”
When I checked the clock, it was 23:43.
“Well, I can work out for about an hour, though.”
She yawned, turned off the office lights and stepped outside.
By the way, it was when I just got out of the building.
whiz-
Some kind of unpleasant feeling that resonates in my head…
Her steps stopped.
“······what?”
Beyond consciousness, an instinctive beep began to sound.
‘Dangerous.’
······What the hell is it?
That she didn’t know.
It just felt that way, without knowing why.
Whoowoo-
She stopped tall to find out why, and slowly began to scan the darkened premises.
When she stood at the entrance to the main office, the building she just came out of, she overlooked the three buildings.
It was the 2nd barracks of the 2nd company to the left, the PX at the center, the 1st company and the 1st barracks of the headquarters company to the right.
And inside the two barracks… an unknown, heterogeneous movement was detected.
‘This······.’
Some kind of evil that only players who can handle divine power can feel…
‘It is the power of darkness, the tone of the undead.’
Among the players in the 1st Battalion, there were no soldiers or executives who handled this kind of power.
In other words, it meant that an outside entity was using some power in Barrack 1.
Certainly, it is a dangerous situation.
She zipped the suit all the way up and ran downhill.
chin-
I lowered my posture by sticking to the wall of the 1st barracks building.
I reduced my footsteps and, slowly, entered the building.
“······.”
Inside the building was darker than usual.
It seemed that the emergency lights and the sleeping lights were all turned off.
And······.
‘······Smells like blood?’
Something she felt began to materialize not as mere ominousness, but as misery.
The place where the smell of blood came from was the first door at the left entrance of the building, the 5th minute dormitory.
She approached it slowly.
Then, he put mana on the tip of his finger, and turned on the ‘Holly Light’ very small.
whiz-
A handful of white lights that happened in that way pushed out the darkness layer by layer, illuminating the interior of the dormitory…
“······.”
Seo Eun-ha could not open her mouth.
Chun- Chun-
The interior was colored dark red.
It was the flesh and blood of the 5th minute.
they······.
‘It was annihilated.’
It seemed that he died instantly and simultaneously without any resistance.
Chun- Chun-
And in that dark red darkness, something was wriggling.
A man in a black suit…
Chun- Chun-
He was squatting inside the corpse in the 5th minute and sucking someone’s neck.
Chu…
Soon the sound stopped, and his red eyes moved toward Eunha Seo.
***
As I approached the 5th post, I heard a familiar voice.
“Hey, how can our squad aces get together like this?”
“Ugh! How the greatest hero of our company is in such a shabby place….”
Ahn Min-tae and Choi Tae-yong, the two of them were Lee Hyun-wook and Park Jun-mo’s previous initial workers.
“…Don’t overdo it.”
Yes, it was a strange scene to have four people in one squad at one post.
However, in fact, this was Lee Hyun-wook’s intention.
‘There should be kids who follow my orders well.’
Therefore, I asked the administrators who were preparing the shift schedule so that they could meet exactly here.
It was easy to change because they looked around in such a way that they could have a meal with the commander of the normal in the afternoon.
“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, you didn’t look like you were in good shape earlier, but don’t you think you fell down while working?”
“You look in good shape, but don’t fall down while trembling.”
“Hahaha, who is this thanks to? Oh my Captain, would it be thanks to Sergeant Lee?”
“······Please do not go anywhere and make such a noise, please.”
Min-tae Ahn has been very smiley lately, unable to control the excitement.
“Then, Ahn Min-tae, a loyal D-class, will go down! Good work!”
“-awhile.”
Lee Hyun-wook caught two people trying to go down the guard post.
“Well, what’s going on?”
The two turned and looked at Lee Hyun-wook.
“······.”
However, Lee Hyun-wook did not answer right away.
He stood still, standing tall in the shadow of the guardhouse…
“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee?”
I was just looking at my watch.
23:59-
I slowly lifted my head.
“……I just heard a shouting somewhere.”
Lee Hyun-wook said so and went down the stairs of the guard post.
“······.”
Then Mintae Ahn and Taeyong Choi’s playful expressions became very serious.
Park Jun-mo also swallowed and moved after Lee Hyun-wook.
“What else happened … … which way?”
They were now able to intuit the meaning of Lee Hyun-wook’s small change in attitude.
Therefore, Lee Hyun-wook’s attitude changed 180 degrees with just one word.
Whoowoo-
At that moment, a cold wind came over the ridge and the trees everywhere made a soft noise.
“Taeyong Choi, do you have a night vision?”
“Yes, there is.”
The shooter His arrows were equipped with night vision, or night vision.
“Near the guard, check it. The sound was heard over there.”
“Yes.”
From this ridge, I overlooked the entrance of the unit and the guard post.
“Uh, um…….”
Choi Tae-yong’s gaze, which was moving slowly, stopped at a certain place, and made a whistling sound for a moment.
“······.”
Soon he slowly turned his head and looked at Lee Hyun-wook.
He swallowed once and nodded.
“······Yes, this is the gate.”
“What, what gate? It’s a gate?”
Ahn Min-tae looked unbelievable.
But obviously, behind the guard station, there was a purple flutter blooming.
Soon, the guards, feeling suspicious, seemed to be approaching them….
Take-da-da-da-da-dang!
A sharp shot rang out, scouring the silence of the night.
It was a signal gun that signaled that the race of hell had begun.
“Jeah, damn it! What else is this about!”
Mintae Ahn said so, lowering his posture and raising his shield to protect the squad members.
The distance from the guard post was far, but I didn’t know that a blind bullet might fly this far.
-Cheek! Chi-ik! This is a guard…
Soon, the emergency radio on the side of the guard rang, but there was no need to hear the contents.
Lee Hyun-wook ignored it and ordered Choi Tae-yong again.
“Taeyong Choi, check exactly what monster came out of the gate.”
“Yes! It looks like… uh, undead, zombies.”
“Then, the guards alone cannot prevent it.”
“Damn, then what do I do?”
“……You go.”
His words spread embarrassment to the three faces.
“Yes? Wouldn’t the 5th minute stance respond immediately?”
Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.
“There will be no power to respond to the undead in the 5th quarter, that is,’divine power’.”
The undead were quite difficult monsters to deal with.
It was natural that the vitality was persistent, and in many cases even came back to life.
So there was only one sure way to do them.
“By the way, you are armed with divine weapons.”
“Ah······.”
According to their original history, these three were wiped out in the beginning, let alone their ability to solve problems.
‘But now it’s different.’
The level, skills, weapons, and attitude have all changed.
Rather, other than these, at the present time, they could not respond properly to this situation.
“Well, by the way, why are the three of us? Where is Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee going?”
Lee Hyun-wook turned to Ahn Min-tae’s question.
Buildings lined up under the ridge on the other side.
The barracks were the place where all the battalion troops stayed.
“Somehow…… there is not one gate.”
“······Yes? No, does that make sense?”
“No way! Are you saying that it is a double gate in the spirit?”
No, it’s not a double gate.
‘It’s Wave.’
One of the game’s most hellish events, Wave….
Lee Hyun-wook swallowed the word.
Soon, a purple light fluttering near the barracks and near the parade came into his eyes.
‘I knew it······.’
It was the second gate.
And from there, white human figures were pouring out.
‘That’s a skeleton.’
It was an incredibly large number to believe it was the first eruption.
It seemed that there were enough 80 to be seen with the public eye right now.
However, that wasn’t the end.
‘The gate that opens during the wave pours out indefinitely, without the limitation of eruption.’
For the time being, skeletons will continue to pour out over and over again, and could be hundreds or even thousands if not properly controlled at the beginning. Indeed, the Legion appeared.
And the direction in which they marched… was the barracks.
“Ah… that’s right! There really is a gate open over there!”
Soon, Choi Tae-yong clearly confirmed through the night vision.
“Now you know? Squad 5 cannot go to the guard post. However, if the first eruption cannot be blocked as it is… they will go down the mountain to the city center. That must be stopped.”
“driving me crazy······.”
“So you have to go. I will go to the barracks and block the gate, and then I will lead the support forces to the guard post. Until then, will I somehow be able to withstand it?”
Lee Hyun-wook said that and made eye contact with the three people one after another.
Now, instead of fear, there was something else in their eyes.
It was a kind of spirit.
It was a determination and confidence built up from several successes.
“Okay. We don’t worry and go fast. I will really die after doing that.”
Ahn Min-tae turned around with a shield on her back, followed by Choi Tae-yong and Park Jun-mo.
They ran down the mountain path towards the guard post.
‘Yes, that’s right. They are all dead….’
Subsequently, Lee Hyun-wook also moved.
***
“-Uh!”
Seo Eun-ha fell on the asphalt.
It fell from the back, and the shock spread across the body along the spine.
But without even feeling the pain, he quickly woke up.
That moment-
Choo-oah!
Something flew in, struck the floor and passed.
It was a black whip.
Moving it like a snake, it rolled into the darkness of the 1st barracks.
“Huh….”
Soon from the darkness, red eyes came, and the owner appeared.
A tall man in a black suit…
He was already bloody.
It was the blood of the 5th minute tone.
“Would you like to meet the second daughter of the commander of the Holy Knights so quickly? It’s also very defenseless, and it’s even ridiculously pretty, right? Ugh….”
“······.”
“I can’t miss this opportunity. I’ll play with you all day tonight, so don’t be too shy, I hope we can enjoy it together.”
A pale face, a bloody mouth, and a red tongue came out of it and fluttered.
Seo Eun-ha took a breath and stepped back slowly.
‘What the hell is going on?’
Seo Eun-ha realized that the only problem wasn’t the attack by a monster.
In her field of view, a purple light fluttered on the left and one side of the parade.
‘gate······.’
And from there, a group of skeletons… No, the Legion was walking out.
‘How can such a large number of monsters appear in the first eruption?’
Until now, it was about 120.
As far as she knows, it was impossible.
Most of all, the monster who was threatening her wasn’t a monster.
‘······It is a player.’
The player is a weapon of humans, and therefore, it also hurts humans.
Those who used their strong power to commit crimes were boring.
Furthermore, terrorist groups were formed.
However, this man who appears with Gate and attacks AMT is…
“……Who are you?”
“Hey, don’t be too impatient. Tonight, you’ll find out while having fun slowly.”
Seo Eun-ha sought a way to overcome this situation.
‘First of all, you have to get out your weapon somehow.’
But as he ran away with his back, his throat would be blown away.
And it wasn’t just her own survival.
Numerous troops in the barracks….
‘Since the stance of the 5th minute has been wiped out, it is impossible to cope with the initial action.’
Of course, a mysterious gunfire rang from somewhere and the barracks lit up.
The entire troops would have woke up and began to arm themselves.
But it was too late.
Shrew- Shrew-
Skeletons pouring out of the parade have already reached the barracks.
If they went inside, a one-sided slaughter would take place without time to arm.
“Damn it······.”
“Yeah, yes, I’m very, very embarrassed. So, my heart is beating quickly and my body is getting hot.”
At that moment, it rushed and swung the whip.
Ta-oah!
Seo Eun-ha lowered his posture, avoided the whip, and dug into his body.
And he grabbed his arms.
“-Uh!”
However, it was more powerful than I thought.
I tried to pass it over, but it didn’t.
“Five! Are you quite active? I like this style so much, it has a taste to give in! Hahaha!”
He felt the difference in strength and flirted looking down at Seo Eun-ha.
But she didn’t give up.
She broke the balance by walking her legs and succeeded in flipping her nose.
Nice-billion!
His body fell on the asphalt and made a heavy noise, but at the same time, his right fingernail flew Seo Eun-ha toward his ankle.
She released her arm and quickly stepped back.
If it was a little late, my ankle would have been cut off.
Chiii….
However, smoke was soaring from his arm, the part that Seo Eun-ha held.
Just by turning on and holding the Holy Light was effective damage.
This meant that the base of his power was “the power of darkness.”
“······Oh, is this the next head of the new Holy Knights? Ha, I wouldn’t be able to hug you tonight like this. Oh yeah yeah, can I tie it up?”
It raised his body and laughed, and his sharp teeth were revealed.
‘That canine…’
What should he say, it was like a monster. In particular, as I witnessed the scene sucking blood, I felt like a ‘vampire’ among the undead.
‘If so…… If there were only weapons, it wouldn’t be my opponent, damn it.’
However, there was no time to regret it.
Winning and not was not important now.
I had to survive somehow.
But…… I couldn’t think of a way.
‘First, focus on avoiding the next attack. That’s the best.’
It was then.
Get-Da-Da-Dang!
There was a shooting somewhere,
“Ouch! Fuck!”
The vampire complained of pain and stepped back.
‘Who is it?’
Behind Seo Eun-ha’s back, from the ridge, someone was approaching this side with an aiming fire.
“Ugh! Fuck! Suddenly, what else is that!”
It wasn’t that effective damage, but the pain was the same, so he had no choice but to step back, covering his head with both hands.
Get-Dang! Get-Dang!
Then, this time, aiming shot at the knee continued.
The bullet hit his knees and shin, and his body shook.
Soon the shooter came right behind Seo Eun-ha.
“Are you okay, Captain of the platoon?”
He was Lee Hyun-wook.
“Lee Hyun-wook, how…….”
“Fortunately, the.”
“What’s fortunate? Can’t you see the situation right now?”
Seo Eun-ha pointed at the gate to the parade.
Lee Hyun-wook smiled brightly.
“Yes, it is, but I’m not a step late and haven’t I come to get it on time?”
It was a word that made fun of Seo Eun-ha, who appeared belatedly every time.
“······Come to get it? Are you me?”
Lee Hyun-wook shook his head and lowered the K2C1 rifle to the floor.
At the same time, two swords spontaneously pulled out from behind his back.
They stood vertically and shone sharply in the moonlight.
Lee Hyun-wook passed Seo Eun-ha.
Then he approached the vampire and opened his mouth.
“……I came to save everyone.”
