Vol 1 Chapter 15 (2/2)
Their reason for choosing Underpass was nothing special It stood out while they were looking for 500-pointfor so that would pay
The start was smooth Since they were all experienced in Life Mission, they knehat they needed to be careful of while facing the blood-sucking insects
Since there were 6 of them and they were all fairly skilled, they completed the mission without much problem
Then, one of the partyaround the underpass just for fun instead of heading back
The party had delightfully agreed It was a Class Einsects did not pose er This hy the party iped out
“Had you not heard an explanation on the overall difficulty from your helper?”
“… We had heard it, but didn’t kno exactly it would apply”
Tsk
Cha Jun Sung had a bitter expression The inforless death by following their instructions They had overlooked that
It was difficult to survive while taking caution of only as visible The chance of survival was higher when being careful of so that could not be seen to the eye than what could
Zephyrus’ party had ignored this and crossed a river they could not return from
He could empathize on the one hand He had listened to Odin, but he would not have understood the importance of it if he had not experienced Caicus
“As ent along the path in the Underpass, we came upon the evil blood-sucker’s home and the mission went from Class E to Class D”
Siksik
They had heard a sound co
They thought that it was the sound of wind passing through, but threw a grenade into it just in case, opening the door to hell themselves
“2 evil blood-suckers ere guarding hundreds of cocoons came out”
Evil blood-suckers were Level 3 They were the final evolution of blood-sucking insects They were repulsive because they looked like a cross between an earthworm and centipede
Its nature was as atrocious as its appearance – it was cruel It enjoyed stabbing its opponent to death with its spikes or wrapping itself around the opponent to cut it up
It showed its strength as a Level 3 h its fast speed and unexpected movement But 2 evil blood-suckers came out? That was bound to be a disaster
“Was giving up the mission not an option?”
“We were forced We could have if we had not been discovered by the evil blood-suckers, but eren’t given the option once they had already seen us”
“So you couldn’t force a return”
“No”
Lifers’ forced returns were only possible if they did not move from the spot they were in
When he asked Odin about the principles, Odin had said that the location needed to return switches if someone moves, so they cannot calculate it in real time
The time it takes to calculate the return was 5 to 6 seconds But to stay still for that tiwith death
“Even if you shoot your gun and somehow hit it, you can’t wound it very much”
“Maybe…”
“All our party members had were pistols and simple SMGs”
Ugh
Cha Jun Sung let out a sick sound He pitied Zephyrus who had witnessed the deaths of all of his first party h
It would be hard to penetrate even with his red fire For penetration, stronger firearm was necessary Zephyrus’ sniper rifle was just barely suitable
“2 people died like that and 4 people including me, ran away”
“You can’t show your back”
“There was nothing we could do because our options were dying or running away”
Blood-sucking insects only had a developed sense of smell But the evil blood-sucker had a variety of the five senses They were natural hunters It did not let go of any prey it targeted
“Each person was hunted That was the first ti like that”
When e sounded different It was hair-raising
Eventually they reached a different place as they ran away Fortunately, one comrade also survived, but he was out of his4 people die
“That’s when you discovered this bunker?”
“No It was a different one”
“The other person…”
“The way to get into each bunker is different”
The bunker they were currently in could be entered by opening the door The bunker Zephyrus was talking about was another place where they needed to open the top door as if it were a tank and go down into it
“I was faster because I had discovered it, and he was following behind me”
“So he got dragged out”
“The entry was so narrow that they could not killhim out In that time, I was able to crawl into the bunker, and I lived”
Zephyrus’ face turned dark He was feeling guilt To hih he had sacrificed a comrade for his own survival
“I would like to say so from an adult?”
“I’ll listen”
“You cannot be free from death the second you enter this place But if you beco”
“What is that?”
“Whether it was intentional or not”
“That’s hard”
“I’ll solve it for you Did you kill that man to live?”
“Never!”
Zephyrus denied it vehemently You couldn’t auto, but he was also clearly not someone ould kill another to stay alive
“That’s it If you didn’t make it happen, it was that person’s fate to die there And it was your fate to live”
