Chapter 64 (1/2)
-[Pails?]
Kyoko radioed in a few times but there was no response from Cha Jun Sung. The radio function on the PDA is delivered through the helmet, so there is no need to worry that it leaks out.
He needs to speak in order to respond, but he could be detected by the male. He can hear it. It is just a situation where he cannot respond.
“There’s no response.”
“It’s okay. He won’t be able to respond because the Slayer is nearby.”
If they had started battling in the mountains, they would have heard noise. This quiet atmosphere would not have lasted. It seems they are hiding.
The sisters and the Lifers assigned each person a direction to create a lookout for where the Slayers might come from. They are prone to surprise attacks. They need to stay alert.
Their view is clear, so they can prepare for any approaching danger.
They will be strengthened if they combine with Cha Jun Sung, but they do not have the nerve to enter. Nature is an unfriendly environment for people who are used to civilization.
A massive body weighing hundreds of kg is stepping on the ground. The heavy footsteps make noise. The Lifers all looked to one direction.
Their mouths go dry. They could see the male clearly. They are about 60 to 70m apart, and it does not come any closer.
The male drew a circle around the Lifers. It seems to be calculating something in its head.
“It’s measuring the distance.”
“Distance?”
“Since it followed the force, it’ll have seen a lot of guns and know what it’s like!”
The Slayer’s intellect is that of an elementary school student’s. A bullet goes through trees, rocks, and the ground. It makes anything in its radius a mess.
It understands that it cannot get hit. It cannot see the bullet, but it has the ability to detect the direction of the muzzle.
Slayer is more about the body, so it is the type that wins with speed rather than strength.
The male was going around in circles and stopped moving with its back to the prison.
“Our place to retreat is blocked.”
“The Slayer in the front, mountains in the back? Is it trying to stifle us?”
The prison is blocked. If they are pushed back in battle, the only place they can go is the mountains. The moment they go in, it is the male’s world. It had thrown them far out.
Another change happened. It is an unwelcome change for the Lifers.
The female walks out of the prison, covered in blood. On its blade is a Lifer from the prison.
“Save….. Me.”
The Lifer struggled to put his hand out. Unfortunately, they cannot take the hand.
Chills ran down the spine of Lifers who followed Koharu. It is a terrible situation as it is, but they would have already been dead if they had remained in the facility.
The blade came out. The Lifer’s eyes rolled back as he went lifeless.
The female recovered its ability to fight after eating meat and regaining the nutrients it had lost. It had gone back to its original state.
The only weapons they can trust are their guns. The male went farther away in order to avoid the bullets. It is a distance at which they can guard themselves from the Lifers.
It is impossible to take on both adults between 5 people. They cannot expect to live. Even Kyoko and Koharu who had gone through the 2nd stage of body modifications cannot last more than a few minutes.
The sisters’ physical ability is half that of Cha Jun Sung. Aspects like their muscles, bone structure, height, and weight are significantly inferior to that of men. It is a woman’s limit.
Their abilities were proportionately converted in the virtual version, so men and women were equal. But this is reality. There is a difference.
There is no need to think of it being unfair. Just as mutants and humans are different, men and women are different. Women cannot catch up to men in regards to their bodies.
The female speaks to the male. The male looks from the Lifers to the mountains. Then it protected its vital spots with both of its blades.
