Episode 301 Liberation (1)

“Poohaha!”

Jeon Se-hyeok burst into loud laughter.

As expected, Kang-hoo was causing a real ruckus in the camp. And he was doing it alone.

– There are quite a few cases where neither one nor the other can be done. One of the officers of the southern concentration camp was also tied up here.

“If I ignore him, Mr. Shin Kang-hoo won’t let me go. If I rush at him, he’ll be too strong.”

– That’s right. Everyone is at a loss with the extreme social distancing.

“I think we’ll know the internal situation for sure by now. Daeyong, I’ll see you soon. Until then, stay hidden.”

– Okay, bro. I’ve been waiting for this day. Now I’m sick of pretending to be one of those Eclipse nerds.

“See you soon.”

– check.

After finishing his phone call with Kim Dae-yong, Jeon Se-hyeok smiled while looking at the virtual battle screen displayed on his tablet PC.

If things were as they are, 30% more power should be concentrated at the entrance to the camp than they are now.

That is, from the beginning, the Allied Forces were calculating a defensive battle at the main gate. They judged it to be a constant.

However, a variable was created when Kang-hoo effectively disrupted the camp’s power in the middle.

It was a huge boon for the Allied Forces. In other words, it was bad news for Eclipse.

“From Cheongju to here… … Even if we left as soon as we heard the news, it would be late. And it’s not even possible.”

“I just got a report. It says that the fighting is still fierce. It looks like the remaining Blacks are fighting to the end.”

“Even if I surrender to Eclipse, it’s obvious that I’ll end up in an organ trade or a concentration camp. I guess it’s better to die than live like that.”

A look of satisfaction could be seen on Jeon Se-hyeok’s face, which had a satisfied expression.

It’s a painful thing to say, but it goes without saying that we gained a strategic advantage thanks to Kang-hoo’s presence.

We lost less of our precious Allied forces’ strength.

Although it cannot be quantified, Jeon Se-hyeok believed that one person, Kang-hoo, paid the price of tens or hundreds of lives.

It was a logical judgment based on the situation, not a leap of faith.

If a battle breaks out at the main gate.

Because in pre-battle simulations, the Allied forces expected losses of at least a hundred men.

The minimum was around that much, and the maximum was more than three times that.

And the current loss of personnel is reported to be around 20 people.

“Brother, let’s speed up too.”

“That’s right. That bastard Kang Dong-hyun! I need to see his face with my own eyes to see what kind of expression he has on his face. What a pity.”

“Haha. That’s right.”

“Cheongju Liberation Zone? Yeah, let them have as much as they want. If they rob the Maseok mine, it’ll be the biggest fucking mess ever. Kkeke!”

Jeon Se-hyeok laughed, shaking his shoulders. His antipathy toward Kang Dong-hyun was deep-rooted.

Now that Kang-hoo has properly set the table, it is time to eat it in a combative manner.

“At the current speed, we’ll go all the way to Suyong-dong! There’s no retreat or detour, so charge forward without even thinking about looking back!”

“yes!”

Under Jeon Se-hyeok’s direction, the assembled troops began to enter the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

It was the beginning of a full-scale battle for the camp.

* * *

one side.

Kang-hoo looked down at the corpses of the guards scattered around him.

Since they were 2nd and 3rd class guards without constellations, it was very easy for Kang-hoo to deal with them.

From the victim’s perspective, it was a ‘life-threatening’ situation, but from the attacker’s perspective, it was nothing to worry about.

【This is the price I pay for the strength I have diligently cultivated! As expected, it suits the dignity of the contractor I have chosen!】

Among the constellations, the first to speak out about Kang-hoo’s activities was the Strategist of the Wilderness.

A constellation that always believes in Kang-hoo’s efforts and never doubts the reason for any choice.

Kang-hoo liked the strategist of the wilderness who could lighten the mood among the bleak and cold constellations.

If there were no constellations like her, listening to the voices of the constellations would be like a dry evaluation.

【Overwhelming! Awesome!】

Overwhelming.

A word meaning to suppress an opponent with overwhelming power or ability. It was also a word that suited Kang-hoo perfectly.

【You have filled the place where your tragedy began with glory. You are admirable. I will personally bless my contractor.】

‘Oh.’

Kang-hoo widened his eyes at the unusual reaction from the Dimension Robber.

Kang-hoo, like her, also felt a new sense of emotion.

When I first escaped from the Qingming concentration camp, I was the type of person who would struggle to kill even one person.

Thinking back now, after fighting a few insignificant, trivial battles.

I still vividly remember vomiting blood because I didn’t have the stamina to endure my congenital hypersensitivity.

At that time, they felt like a mountain that the guards of the camp could not control… … Now, they are insignificant lives.

at that time.

Clank clank. Thump thump.

Heavily armed special forces from the Cheongmyeong Detention Center were seen hurriedly arriving at the scene.

It seems like they’ve been drinking here for quite some time now, even though the battle has already begun.

Since the camp commander was addicted to alcohol, it was only natural that discipline among the lower ranks would become lax.

“joy.”

Kang-hoo snorted and fell back.

I had no intention of engaging in a head-on confrontation with the riot police that arrived in large numbers.

The longer time passes, the more disadvantageous it becomes for that side.

There is no need to shorten the waiting time. Attacking first is actually foolish.

“You damn bastard… … .”

The guards who were watching Kang-hoo exploded with anger.

It was so frustrating to be stuck in a situation where I couldn’t do anything, but there was no clear solution.

The only solution was to quickly eliminate Kang-hoo, but there was no hunter with the skills to do so.

The only hunter left, Jo Hwan-seong, had already lost his head and became a ghost wandering the underworld.

“Hey, X-arm!”

Finally, the executive, unable to bear it any longer, charged at Kang-hoo.

Rather than letting time pass like this, I thought I would somehow sort out the situation myself… … It was a wonderful intention.

“You can do it!”

“Let’s kill that vicious assassin first! We’ll help you out too!”

The guards cheered.

There were quite a few soulless cheers among them, but in any case, the goal of hoping for the executives’ victory was the same.

In fact, the guards could have taken advantage of that gap to move forward. Power support was an urgent matter.

However, the guards, who already knew that the situation there was worsening, did not take any active action.

The picture was of someone barely surviving here, waiting for their closest enemy, Kang-hoo, to be eliminated.

And what if Kang-hoo is removed?

It was an extremely cowardly thought that the executives who figured out the situation later would not see the picture as they wanted to get out.

Night sky.

Pouring rain.

And the camp lights shining directly onto the scene where Kang-hoo and the officer are about to meet.

It was a bleak sight that felt like a scene from a movie, but at the same time, it was a beautiful sight… … .

Pushuuut!

After seeing the silhouettes of two people entangled and then seeing blood spurting out of only one person.

To all the guards, the sight was a tragedy and despair. The officer had died in vain for Kang-hoo.

“What, what is this… … ?”

“To die in vain like this?”

“What the hell is that kid? Shin Kang-hoo, what the hell is that kid? He was a level 10 hunter who escaped from the camp a few months ago! Does that make sense?”

The guards were frozen.

The same goes for the riot police that came to support the scene, so no one was able to step forward first.

The executive who just died, although not as skilled as Jo Hwan-seong, was a skilled player who was well over level 200.

However, he died before he could stand a chance against Kang-hoo. He was completely caught off guard.

A silence fell over all the guards and riot police who watched the scene where the officer lost his life in a single blow.

No more words could be heard from this crowded battlefield.

All that could be heard was the sound of rain pouring down ceaselessly, hitting the dirt ground. A deep silence had fallen.

and.

Fear and dread began to spread among them like an epidemic.

The image of the executive losing his life in a place where everyone’s eyes were focused was deeply engraved in my mind.

There was no way he could not become the protagonist of that tragedy. No, the guards who had become the protagonist were already lying dead all over the place.

It wasn’t a situation where I could endure it out of some sense of duty or loyalty to the organization. The result was equal death.

Right then.

“Eww! F**k, I don’t know! Aaaah!”

One of the guards took off the guard uniform and hat he was wearing and started running towards the magic stone mine.

If you use the side road there, you can escape from the camp by a route unknown to the outside world.

“Yeah! It’s better than being screwed!”

“Get out, kid! If you stay here, Shin Kang-hoo will kill you! What are you doing? Come with me quickly!”

In an instant, the guards, gripped by fear, began to run away, one after another.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo felt uncomfortable.

There is still only one person, and if they just add a few more people, there could easily be a hundred people.

But they were thoroughly selfish.

I didn’t think that if we combined our strength at once, we could overcome the situation with only a few people dying.

Their honest feelings must be that they don’t want to become ‘cows’ that are sacrificed for the sake of the generation.

Seeing that the enemies were no longer worth chasing, Kang-hoo showed no intention of pursuing them.

Instead, whenever you see someone glance back, pretend to walk forward a step or two.

“Eww! It’s coming! It’s coming!”

“Just look straight ahead and run, Inma!”

The scared ones creatively spread their fear.

In their minds, Kang-hoo had already become a pursuer who was persistently chasing them.

Swish! Swish!

Kang-hoo, who had put the dagger back into its scabbard, looked around.

I was planning to look into the constellations I had stolen from the dead officers later, but I wanted to see the battle situation first.

“Hmm. I guess there’s no need to go to the main gate.”

Judging from the flags of the Cheong-an Mercenaries and the Black Lion already fluttering, it seems that the front has also been breached.

If that’s the case, there’s no need to play house on a clear battlefield.

“Shall we go to Suyong-dong?”

It seemed like a good idea to go to the detention center where the prisoners were still trapped and unable to escape.

There is no reason for me to take responsibility for their future, but I wanted to give them the opportunity to choose their freedom.

It was like a perfect liberation, a gift to my past self. It had symbolic meaning.

After a while.

Kang-hu, who arrived from a nearby prison cell, killed the guard who was trying to escape from the scene and stole the key.

Even in the 21st century, the camps still used outdated methods to maintain security within their cells.

This was also possible because of Kang Dong-hyun’s bullshit philosophy that even an automated management system is a luxury for the recipients.

The ones who benefit from the system are the guards.

Anyway, the place where Kang-hoo, who had obtained the key, stood was in front of Su-yong-dong, which had a lot of meaning to him.

Right in front of building 18.

This is the place where the life-threatening escape began, and the gates of hell where the original Shin Kang-hoo suffered for years.

In the past, I wanted to die, but now, I’m so happy just to be alive!

First memory.

Kang-hoo stood at that borderline.

“Is anyone out there?”

“Please! Please save me!”

And inside the tightly locked iron door, countless ‘past selves’ were asking for help.

The lives of the helpless prisoners have not changed at all from the past to the present.
