Chapter 30 (1/2)

The place Campbell directed them to was where the Lifers’ weapons were held. Pistols, SMGs, crossbows, and bows – there was a motley of weapons.

“There are a lot of good weapons.”

“Let’s pack the supplies. We deserve this much after what we suffered.”

Cha Jun Sung separated the weapons to give to Lloyd’s group. It would be convenient to put them in the packs, but the cannibals had ripped them all apart so none of them were very useful.

The space compression bag was already full of the loot. If they took these weapons back with them to sell, they would make enough money to each buy a car.

“But.”

“Huh?”

“Why don’t the cannibals use the guns and bombs when they use the electric net?”

Guns and bombs. Once they are unlocked, these were items that make the user into Rambo. In some ways, the electric net was harder to use than these.

If the cannibals had faced Cha Jun Sung and Park Jin Hyuk in an armed state, they would have died, been captured, or run away.

“If I were the leader here, I would be totally against the subordinates using these weapons.”

“Why?”

“Because they might stab me in the back.”

With a gun, a cannibal could easily kill an evil cannibal. If they do not control it, the order can be overturned and the law could become a mess.

“When you say it like that, it makes sense.”

“Let’s go.”

Cha Jun Sung put the weapons in the least torn pack and went back to Lloyd’s group.

He gave each person an SMG with a couple hundred bullets, and a few grenades. Everyone took it without complaint except for one person.

“This is it for weapons?”

“No.”

Carlyle asked the whereabouts of the weapons. There had to be more than dozens of weapons because that many Lifers had died. Cha Jun Sung spoke honestly.

“I packed the rest of them.”

“What did you say?”

“Be thankful I’m giving you that much. I could have left you here.”

Carlyle felt shame at Cha Jun Sung’s words. It sounded like he was saying, ‘What have you done that you’re claiming weapons?’

“Mister Cha, let’s stop.”

“Are we leaving right away?”

“Let’s get out since there’s no good in staying in this terrible place.”

As soon as they made their decision, everything went according to plan. They got out of the base within 2 hours through the path that Cha Jun Sung had memorized.

The strange thing was that they were never attacked while they were leaving.

Are they hiding themselves because they are scared of being annihilated? It could be. Even if they were angry, it is another way to conserve their species.

Kiik!

He was mistaken however. There was no reason for them to let them go easily in the first place.

Jiing!

As soon as they got outside, the vision goggles returned to their original search range. At the same time, the cannibals’ heat was captured en masse.

“Jin Hyuk, put the crossbow away and take out your sniper rifle. They’re too close.”

“Damn!”

Park Jin Hyuk held his rifle. He knew they were letting them go too easily. They had known that they were at a disadvantage in a narrow area and had brought them to an open space.

“Are we under siege?”

“It should be about 300 of them. I think we’ll have to go as we kill them.”

He could sense the cannibals’ movement clearly. They were watching Cha Jun Sung’s group from just 40m away. These cunning creatures must be waiting for them to enter the forest.

‘5 big ones….. 1 bigger one, that’s the leader.’

It was not Level 3.

The balance would be destroyed if it were Level 3. The cannibal itself was a strong mutant, so he estimated it to be a high Level 2. It was impossible to face one-on-one without a gun.

Seuk.

Cha Jun Sung moved around and searched with his bow. The cannibals did not intend to let him go and blocked each path.

They needed to somehow lure the cannibals elsewhere if they wanted to get to the summons area. This was their home ground, so the party members were at a disadvantage.

“They’re trying to fight intellectually with people? Let’s see who wins.”

“Do you have a plan?”

“If we just barge in, they’ll kill half of us at least. We’ll have to play with them.”

Cha Jun Sung resisted saying, ‘Though we probably won’t die.’ He had the confidence to protect Park Jin Hyuk no matter what.

“It’s about 36 to 49m.”

He measured the distance. The closer cannibals were 36m away, the farther ones at 49m. They were exact figures. They were farther away the stronger they were and it did not get closer than that.

“Please give me the fever shots.”

“How many?”

“All of them!”

Cha Jun Sung himself had 5, Park Jin Hyuk had 6, and Lloyd’s group each had one. Once everyone handed them over, they had a total of 16.

Cha Jun Sung threw them into the forest without even setting the timer.

36 to 49m, the fever shot weighed 1kg. It was impossible to throw this heavy weight over 36m.

“Huk!”

“What are you doing!”

“Mister Cha!”

Lloyd’s team yelled. Fever shots were important bombs because they are capable of mass destruction. He had thrown something like that as if it were a rock without setting the timer.

Kyak kyak!

The cannibals ran from their spots as they saw the fever shots fly toward them. The ones that knew of its danger led the ones that did not know out of range.

At that, the distance between them and the cannibals became even larger. Now, they could not be detected by the goggle’s 50m range.

“You can detect the fever shot with the goggles, right?”

“I can just shoot it and set it off, right?”

“You’re smart.”

Hee hee!
