Chapter 99 (2/2)
If they want to provide Hercules with an unimpeded environment for battle, they need to find a good place to wait for the infection hosts. The amount that they can take on is 2.
There would have been a lot of damage if they had not known that they were coming, but they can reduce that damage because they know where the hosts will be coming from. They could even get rid of any damages all together.
“The party will set up a booby trap. There’s no time. Finish it up within 5 minutes.”
Papat!
Lim Si Hyuk set up in a spot approximately 300 meters from the engine room. The hosts’ route overlapped with theirs. If they wait, the hosts will pass by.
Claymores are a basic and they also had grenades and fever shots. One of the parties consumed a fair amount of the bombs in setting up just one booby trap.
“Um. If all of these go off, an entire part of the ark will be destroyed.”
A commander of the ark soldiers swallowed a moan. He knows that parasites are dangerous, but this is excessive preparation to catch 2 of them.
“Even the best need to be alive to do anything. There’s no use if we’re dead.”
Once the parasites are taken care of, the ark can be repaired at any time with the enormous amount of materials on the ark. There is enough to construct a small town.
In a situation where they might die, they cannot neglect their preparations against the enemy just because a part of the ark might be destroyed. With everything, they need to be alive to act.
Crash!
Something breaking? Cracking? The sound generated from inside is getting closer. Following that, the unpleasant sound of the infection hosts’ breathing also grew louder.
“Aim!”
The party members line up. The Lieutenant also held up an SMG as a soldier.
Flame throwers are effective against parasites, but the distance is short. If they want to cause damage from afar, a gun is best.
The infection hosts that are close to 4m tall, are the essence of fear.
The party members were scared, but the Lieutenant who had experienced the nightmare 4 years ago was worse. It would not be a trauma if it were easily forgotten.
“Fire!”
Pew pew pew pew!
More than 40 guns fire bullets. Regardless of penetration, the force that pushed them back was impressive. If they had been humans, they would have become sludge.
Kyak!
The infection hosts cover their faces and rush in. The bullets do embed, but it is not to the point where they cannot see. No matter how much they fired, they only left minor wounds.
“Set it off!”
Bang bang bang bang!
The party members got down on the ground. It is a narrow, open area, so they do not have enough cover. That is why they had set up the booby trap in a place a bit higher up.
The radius of a fever shot’s heat is set to 15m, but they always need to be careful because fragments from grenades and Claymores can go dozens of meters.
As long as they do not get hit from too close, the metal armor would protect them.
Kyak!
Even if they are level 4s, the damage must have been pretty severe since the bombs were fired in a small area. They were covered by fire and smoke, but it felt like they had suffered a lot of damages.
“Throw concussive shell from the head.”
Bang!
As the concussive shell went off, the fire and smoke cleared. One of the level 4s is on the ground. The other one… on the ceiling.
Too!
The infection host on the ceiling spits out infestors. Lim Si Hyuk took the automatic pistol and revolver from either side of his hips and aimed at the infestor.
Lim Si Hyuk takes position. He is Ghost Gun, who keeps the enemy in check with the automatic pistol’s rate of firing while using a big hit from the revolver to kill the enemy.
Kwajik!
The host fell to the ground and started mutating. The infestor that came out of its brain grew to almost 1m and vomited hundreds of infestors.
“Party 1 and 2, infestors! Party 3 and 4, we’re taking on the host!”
The party split. There is no reason to overdo it. If they just hold out until Hercules kills the infection pocket, these guys are also dead.
