Chapter 102 (2/2)

The agents moved as Isaac had ordered. They searched each and every vehicle and dragged out the bodies one by one. Just a few swings of their swords and even the jammed doors were cut open like paper. The survivors screamed in agony as the agents dragged them out of their vehicle towards their deaths. A few simple English words and phrases such as ‘help me,’ ‘surrender,’ and ‘mama’ could be heard, only to be followed by silence. By the time Isaac’s cigarette went out, Rivelia led two agents dragging a soldier by his arms to him.

“This man is the least-injured.”

“What a lucky man.”

Only one of his arms was twisted in the opposite direction. The rest of his body was sound. It was a miracle, all things considered.

“Let’s see… Two bars, that means he’s a captain. Eheh! He’s an officer. You sure you don’t need information from him? Officers are high priority within the ranks you know.”

Isaac asked, and Rivelia coldly shook her head. Isaac shrugged and examined the captain once more, his eyes glistening when he spotted something.

“Wow? This shouldn’t be a standard-issue weapon? I guess Captains can get away with quite a lot using their rank.”

Isaac muttered and took out the object that was hanging on the Captain’s waist. A sawed-off double barrel shotgun. It only held 2 bullets at a time, so it was never used in the army as a standard-issue weapon. Why did he bring this here? Isaac wondered, but quickly found the answer. This world fought their wars with swords, so a shotgun had much more stopping power than a rifle against those who managed to break through the firing line. If they approached that close, they were in imminent danger. If you missed two shots, no matter what weapon it was, you were good as dead anyway.

“Now, now. Seems like he’s quite experienced here.”

Isaac found the shotgun to his liking, and opened the barrel to check if it was loaded. He then searched the captain once more to loot for anything that he could use.

“Wow! Now this is what you call a miracle! That’s amazing. How is this in one piece? Looks like this man knows how to dress himself.”

Isaac found a pair of sungla.s.ses in perfect condition from the Captain’s pocket. It wasn’t a sports goggle design that was issued by the army, but a Ray-Ban design. Isaac gleefully put on the sungla.s.ses. The agents took a keen interest in the sight of Isaac wearing gla.s.ses. Disinterested, Rivelia asked him.

“What do we do with this man?”

“Hm? I’m done now. Throw him away. But what about the camera?”

“They’re all broken.”

“I swear, electronics these days are so flimsy. I bet electronic companies are in on a conspiracy to make them less durable so they can sell more.”

“…”

Rivelia’s silent stance was that it was none of her business. Put off, Isaac shrugged and ordered.

“Go and loot all the corpses and vehicles. Bring me everything they have. I want to see if there’s anything I can use.”

Rivelia nodded at Isaac’s order, when suddenly Noxvil’s voice came from above.

“Watch out from above!”

Everyone looked up to see what he meant, when an object fell out of the Gate to where everyone was.

“Get away!”

The agents immediately scattered in all directions, when the object bounced off from the ground like a rubber ball toward Isaac.

“Huh?”

Even before Isaac could react to the object flying toward him, Rivelia stood in front of Isaac. Isaac shouted out in desperation.

“Don’t break it!”

With that, Rivelia’s hand let go of her blade’s hilt and grabbed the object with one hand.

“Phew!”

Rivelia’s actions were worthy of praise. To be able to stop a seemingly heavy object approaching at a high velocity with one hand at the drop of an order. Not to mention her footing was unstable. She was indeed a sword master, someone who had surpa.s.sed the limits of the human body.

“It’s surveillance equipment.”

Isaac recognised its design from the Royal Palace’s corridor. A rubber tube encircled it, probably to protect it from the initial impact. As soon as Rivelia put it down, the rubber tube deflated. The moment the tube deflated, the whir of a motor came to life, and it began moving.

“Oh! Seems like it’s intact? Hey, bring me that man over here.”

The agents brought the unconscious captain to Isaac, and all of the other agents that were scattered came to Isaac.

“What the? Why is it constantly moving? Hey, hold that camera still for me.”

The equipment had a camera with three lenses arranged in a triangle, and the camera constantly spun to look at its surroundings. Isaac grumbled, and two agents grabbed the equipment and fixed it in place with the camera pointing toward Isaac.

Click, click!

The camera spun constantly. Isaac smiled at the camera and approached the captain, who was behind held up by the shoulders. He pulled the Captain’s injured arm with all his might.

“Aaaaagh!”

The Captain woke up with an inexplicable scream. Isaac flung his arms open as if greeting an old friend and spoke to the Captain.

“h.e.l.lo! My name is Isaac. Do you know kimchi?”

“What the f.u.c.k…”

“Ah, sorry. That’s it.”

Bang!

The captain barely managed to speak under the excruciating pain, but Isaac put the shotgun right under his chin and pulled the trigger. The Captain’s head exploded like a volcano.

The two agents that were holding the Captain flinched, suddenly showered in the blood. Isaac however, unphased by the blood spewing out from the neck, put his arm around the Captain’s shoulder like a friend, his body covered in blood. He then smiled at the camera and pointed the shotgun at it.

“Welcome to the new world.”

Bang!
