Maru said, running without even asking if it was okay.
“Take care of the hiding guys first. I’ll take care of the missile guys.”
“······.”
There were more than a few guys with anti-tank missiles. Where on earth did all these guys come from? I thought it would be best to first get rid of the guys with missiles and leave the guys with stealth equipment to Kim Yang.
Kim Yang muttered as the traces disappeared in an instant.
What the fuck…
I’m a fucking Jongnah, a baby
Come early or say you’re coming…
pup···
Knock knock!
Kim Yang exploded with anger at the 12.7mm bullet that grazed the exosuit.
Yeah, it’s because of that guy.
That guy is the one who started this situation.
Kill him!
Kill me!!
It’s killing me!!!
ah?!
I told you to start by taking care of the guys with the stealth gear…
Ugh
‘I marked your location. Yes, you! I mean you!’
Beep- beep-
Kim Yang began to track down the hiding men using the thermal imaging and motion sensor information displayed on the head-up display.
======
======
Maru calmly hid his cold sweat.
Just now. If I had made a mistake, Ms. Kim would have died.
He didn’t even know that he might have been caught in the explosion.
however
It’s done.
Even if it was a small missile, it was still a missile.
I cut it down. I sliced it up.
My heart was pounding.
The sensation in my fingertips was crazy. Well, there was no other way to describe it than to say it was killing me.
Time passed slowly, and what it took was two people’s lives. After running without a trace… it was cut off.
The feeling of electricity flowing from the tip of my finger holding the knife and burning my spinal cord. It was so tingling it was thrilling.
A guy with an infantry anti-tank missile aimed at the exosuit. He had to cut it before firing, but deep down inside he felt a desire to cut it again.
I wanted to feel that thrilling sensation once more.
I want to cut it again! What if I cut it into 4 pieces instead of 2?
‘Are you crazy? Are you crazy?’
Maru, who had suppressed his desires, quickened his pace.
Pat- Pak- Tak- The floor covered 25-30 meters in just three steps. When something rippling suddenly approached their eyes, the surprised enemy fired an anti-tank missile into the air.
The missile was ignited and launched, but Maru’s sword was faster.
Fu-hwa—–Ah–
A missile that is cut down before it can even escape the launch tube.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
!!!
Once horizontally, once vertically, and then the continuous width.
An enemy screaming, clutching his face as a missile shrapnel explodes right in his face.
“Kuaaaah! My eyes! My face!”
With a dull thud, the writhing in pain was granted rest. The rippling shadows disappeared between the snowflakes falling in ash-gray.
[Did you see it now?]
[Did you just see that?]
[What is that? What is that?]
The whole place was filled with the loud sound of Chinese.
I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it, and even though I couldn’t believe it, I was scared. All that was left was fear.
It would have been okay if he had been shot. If it had been a bullet, I wouldn’t have been scared. I could understand if the missile had exploded after being hit by a gun. But that wasn’t what they saw.
Something black came out of thin air and cut the missile. Yes, it cut it. How should I take that?
[Did you see that? The missile got cut off?]
[······.]
The unknown was fearful. No matter how well trained the soldiers were, everyone was equal before the fear of the unknown.
[That’s just a hiding device!]
[Where there are signs, shoot······.]
Kim Yang’s chain gun blasted the torso of the noisy bastard with bullets.
[Attack what you see!]
[It’s an exosuit! Shoot!]
[Submachine gun!]
Enemies hastily turn their guns towards the exosuit. As soon as the gun barrels turn to the side, one of the torsos is torn in half.
[Eww! No!]
Tudadadadadak!
When the comrade next to him was suddenly torn in half without any warning or indication, the man, whose mental state had deteriorated, started shooting in all directions.
bang!
The officer behind him put a lead bullet into the head of the unconscious soldier.
[What kind of disgrace is this···]
Crunch- Unable to finish speaking, his head floated into the air.
[······.]
[······.]
For a brief moment, a wind of silence blew. Gray snowflakes fluttered into the stillness. And then someone broke the silence.
[Floor! Floor! Look at the floor!]
[Footprints! If you move, you’ll get footprints! Shoot there!]
[Don’t fall! Groups of 5 and 3.]
Taking advantage of the enemy’s nerves being focused on the floor, the US Marines began a desperate escape.
[The lieutenant colonel is running away! Catch him!]
[If you miss, you and your entire family will meet at the Human Body Museum!]
As the enemies targeted the US Marines, Maru went wild again. They split the team in the middle, with one team trying to keep Maru in check and the other team trying to deal with the US Marines, but when they did that, Kim Yang went wild.
The number of enemies began to decrease. Including those who turned their guns, the number was almost double, but soon the number became similar and then decreased in real time.
The flares drew a straight line like a laser. Amidst the hail of bullets, the US Marines were amazed at the activities of the support troops(?) who attacked the enemy’s flank and rear.
“Are you filming with an action camera?”
“Yes. I took pictures of them all.”
From the moment they escaped the stolen hospital, to the scene where they broke through the wheel siege, to the situation where they engaged with the traitors, they were filming everything. If it weren’t for the jamming and interference, they would have been able to transmit the footage in real time, but that was impossible.
“No matter what happens, it must be reported to command.”
“···All right.”
The information obtained from the Japanese National Assembly and secret research institute, as well as the footage taken there, were all classified as top secret information.
A fierce battle ensued with both sides’ lives at stake, but with the support of Maru and Kim Yang, the US Marines successfully broke through the encirclement and retreated.
The enemy desperately attacked the retreating US Marines, but the tide of the battle quickly turned when armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles joined the attack.
[···Retreat.]
[···All retreat!]
“Whoa!”
“I won!”
The survivors received joy, the dead received condolences, and Maru and Kim Yang received praise.
======
======
The pilot disembarked from the armored vehicle that had been firing its 20mm Vulcans at the retreating enemies. The pilot met Kim Yang’s eyes and winked. Kim Yang’s forehead furrowed.
‘The guy who told us to wipe our own poop is winking?’
The armored soldier pilot who had been winking at her also remembered Ms. Kim’s face and made an expression that said, “You’re alive? That’s surprising.”
“Coolook- thank you.”
Lieutenant Colonel Gilbert Brown thanked Maru and Ms. Kim. If it weren’t for them…
“Yeah, yeah. I owe that guy too.”
The lieutenant colonel handed Maru the small USB he had in his arms.
“This is a bit of a different piece of information. I decided that it wasn’t something that the Department of Homeland Security should be involved in, so I left it out, but you should pass it on to him. And as I said, I’ll do my best to keep it.”
“All right.”
The armored personnel carriers and vehicles that rescued Lt. Col. Gilbert Brown and his party immediately set out to rescue the refugees who were surrounded by cockroaches and the Marines guarding them.
Originally, I was planning to go to the forward base with Lt. Col. Brown and then go straight to Korea, but the armored vehicle that Ms. Kim and Maru were riding in started running as it was supposed to be deployed for the operation. They couldn’t even ask to get off in the middle, so Maru and Ms. Kim looked at each other hahaha.
The officer asked, looking at Maru’s concealment equipment.
“What about the wheels?”
The story is, ‘Can you trick the wheels with stealth equipment?’
“It barely works.”
Perhaps because of the wheel’s unique feel, it was not easily fooled by hiding devices.
“I see. Have you ever dealt with him?”
“Yes, it was tricky.”
It was tricky. It was a pain when the wheel was the size of the palm of your hand, but when it got to the size of your forearm or thigh, it was horrible.
First of all, regular bullets didn’t work well. It wasn’t a question of whether the bullet could penetrate or not, but rather that even if it did penetrate, it was simply ignored.
It was the same even if I cut it with a knife. It was a horror in itself to see it flailing its legs even though it was cut vertically and left and right.
“This is fucking crazy.”
The officer sighed. It was a bit different from the wheels that ignored bullets, but even the giant cat couldn’t even penetrate the hide with a 6.8mm bullet.
“Should I say it’s fortunate that I was able to catch a rat? At least it was 6.8mm, so I was able to stop it. If it had been 5.56mm, I wouldn’t have been able to stop it.”
The monster rat was caught, but the cat was not caught. However, it was not that firearms were useless. It worked from 7.62mm, and it was definitely possible to catch it with 12.7mm. The problem was supply and ammunition.
The officer took out a cigarette and asked.
“Damn it! It’d be easy if we just carpet bombed it.”
If you were determined to deal with the structure and the naval, it would be easy to deal with it. Bombing is hard? Then what about missiles? Leave them and boil some bone soup? That is, it would be over if you destroyed them with a neutron bomb or a nuclear bomb.
The problem was that there were 30 million people living in Tokyo and its surrounding areas. That meant that they couldn’t use nuclear weapons or neutron bombs recklessly. If they had all become food for the monster, they would have been cleaned up cleanly, but even if only 1 out of 100 people survived, that meant that 300,000 people were still alive.
Is there a politician out there who would fire a nuclear or neutron bomb? If they want to end their political career, there is nothing they can’t do.
“Isn’t there any way?”
“In the current situation, I think using fire would be the best option. Pesticides would also work.”
“Whew- Even without that, the consumption of napalm is too high because of the monsters. The forward base is also practically protected by heavy machine guns and napalm. The amount that can be used is limited.”
Fire was also useful for slaying monsters. Monsters that were swarming and rushing could be quickly finished off by swatting them with a flamethrower. The problem was that it consumed quickly.
The volcanic eruption that had begun again was also a problem. The gray snow falling from the sky was proof. They had been receiving supplies by helicopter, but now even that was on the verge of being cut off.
The base camp set up in Tottori Prefecture in northwestern Japan was also being withdrawn to Korea, except for some of the supplies.
In many ways, it was impossible to proceed with the operation any further. It was likely that it would end with rescuing the Marines and refugees who were now surrounded by cockroaches.
The officer took a deep drag on the cigarette. The stuffiness did not go away. Vladimir Kalin, who had a stealth device, was, from what he heard, a man optimized for one-on-one combat. But the target he had to fight now was not a person, but a cockroach.
‘I guess.’
Kim Yang’s support with her exosuit was needed.
“Miss Kim, I know it must be difficult, but I would like to ask you to join us in this operation.”
Kim Yang’s lips were swollen and his face was full of complaints. I had taken a picture of the guy using the ASh 12.7mm, but I missed it because I was busy catching and restraining the guys who were hiding.
“I can’t go because the exosuit battery is dead.”
“I brought a compatible battery.”
“Chain gun is out of bullets so it won’t work.”
“Replacing it with a flamethrower is enough.”
Kim Yang looked at Maru. “Say something.” “No. Annoying. Very annoying.” Instead of answering, Maru pulled out a dark cobalt-colored revolver at Kim Yang’s gaze.
“uh?”
“I picked it up in passing.”
Kim Yang’s eyes grew wide as her face, which had been brimming with annoyance, changed into an expression of bewilderment without her knowing it.
“Huh?! Th… this? Is that really it?”
No matter how I look at it, Director Yoo, that’s that lady’s gun? Ms. Kim couldn’t bring herself to touch it and carefully examined the gun in Maru’s hand.
It wasn’t a Colt Python .38. It was Director Yu’s alter ego, a Colt Python .45. The grip was decorated with ivory. The cylinder and barrel were inlaid with titanium and gold…
Wow- Wow- Wow-
Waaaaaaaaa-
Kim Yang’s bright eyes changed. But why this now? You’re giving it to me? Now?
At Kim Yang’s gaze, Maru pulled back his gun and stretched out his legs.
“Let’s clean up quickly and rest.”
Maru looked at Kim Yang with a deep look in his eyes, saying the kind of words a disappointed company commander would say.
‘Why don’t you put on an exosuit and throw some fire?’, ‘You have to be diligent so you don’t get caught.’, ‘Get to work. You’re still far from earning your keep.’
Kim Yang began to change the batteries in the exosuit with squinted eyes.

He said he came in a hurry, but the situation looked serious.
The floor, melted by the flames, formed traps and moats.
“First, we must lift the siege.”
As the officer explained the operation to the armored men, three armored men drove straight through the piled up snow.
“Then good luck···.”
As Maru put on his hiding gear, Ms. Kim looked at him.
‘Why is that, when you say it’s useless for wheels?’
‘You’re being filmed.’
‘I am?’
‘You’re an exosuit, so you have to be filmed. That’s like sponsorship. Make sure you’re filmed well.’
‘Sponsorship?’
‘Yeah. Sponsorship?’
After exchanging glances for a moment, Ms. Kim fell silent.
“······.”
“······.”
Kim Yang’s exosuit, holding a chain gun and a flamethrower in each hand, leapt toward the rolling wheels.
[It’s all over!]
[Die! Die!!]
Ms. Kim was somehow becoming more aggressive.
Uh. Hmm. The power of sponsorship?
