Chapter 40 (1/2)

“You don’t have to do this…..”

“I can’t receive special treatment when everyone is doing it. There’s no reason to either.”

An observer had an uncomfortable expression. After checking Cha Jun Sung’s equipment and mission experience, the observer proposed skipping the practical test.

His equipment was of a category indicative of someone who bribes others to join a group. A few other Lifers also received this proposal.

There were people who accepted and those who rejected, and Cha Jun Sung and Park Jin Hyuk were among those who rejected.

In this situation, that was a favor. A major company giving out a favor?

Cha Jun Sung did not want to be connected to Hocheon in any way. There must be something that they want from him. He is blocking it, whatever it is.

“Phew! It’s high.”

The roof of a 12 story building. All he needed to do was get down from here. The goal is the escape. There is nothing as quick as escape if someone has the skill.

He opened the door of the roof with a crossbow in his hand. He only needs 30 minutes.

Not coming up with a strategy? What strategy. Kill it if he is detected while going downstairs, and keep going if he is not. The only aspect he needs to pay a bit of attention to are Level 2 mutants.

“Excuse me!”

“Yes?”

“Are you just going downstairs?”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you going to take equipment like bombs? You’re just going with one automatic crossbow?”

The observer was taken aback by the straightforward answer. He had seen a lot of Lifers’ missions, but this is the first time someone is acting so recklessly.

When they enter missions, they rack their brains to prepare for all potential situations that could arise or equip themselves with all types of gear and crawl out.

On the other hand, test number 617, Cha Jun Sung, ignored all processes.

“It is escape, not annihilation. We need to move quietly to avoid engagement.”

Would it be necessary to call in mutants that he does not need to fight by firing a gun?

“But still…..”

“Does Hocheon get involved in playing styles?”

The observer gulped. He could only assess if a Lifer is passing or eliminated, and he does not have jurisdiction beyond that. He was just worried that he would have to get involved.

“I’m going.”

“Number 617 test is beginning.”

The observer gave up. He thought that Cha Jun Sung was placing his trust in the gear on his body. If it becomes dangerous, he could eliminate Cha Jun Sung and handle it himself.

Cha Jun Sung went down the stairs. About 300 Level 1 mutants appear in a 1000 point mission. There would be about 20 to 30 per floor.

When he arrived on the 12th floor, demons with thin arms and legs and a bulging stomach greeted him. He could not tell what they had been eating, but their mouths were messy.

An arrow embedded in its forehead. The same scene repeated a few times.

One shot, one hit. It was just one shot no matter what. Before the demons could react to the strange presence in their nest, they were dead.

A demon that had been hiding behind some shelves, flung his body at Cha Jun Sung. The observer watching from a distance pretended he did not notice. He could not get involved.

Cha Jun Sung did not even look at it and grabbed it by the neck. The demon that had been caught suddenly made a choking sound.
