Chapter 100 (1/2)

-[Captain approval. Passage reset. Destination: Tonga. Operating the engine.]

Han Chang Jin did not understand what the main system was saying at first.

It was not because he did not know the meaning. He had unintentionally skipped that the engine had been activated to reset the passage at this point and to anchor in Tonga.

These things happen. When something random occurs, people go completely blank. This was that kind of situation.

They had tried to convince the Lieutenant multiple times over time, but nothing had worked. The Lieutenant only talked about the war.

“You crazy asshole! You changed the passage! What? Tonga? That’s the infected city!”

A Navy officer is appalled and grabs the Lieutenant’s collar. The ark is going to anchor on an island that could be level C or even B?

“I’ll say it again. Support the battle in the 3 regions.”

The party members including the Navy Lifer followed Han Chang Jin’s order, watching the CCTV over Cha Jun Sung’s, Lim Si Hyun’s, and Hercules’ fights.

The battle between humans and parasites was even, while Hercules had the upper hand. It would be over soon.

“Stop the ark.”

“To think that this is the extent of the Korean Special Forces! If we combine your power with that of the ark, we can kill all of the parasites!”

Before this, he had been hanging on to his sanity but now he had gone completely crazy. The Lieutenant completely ignored Han Chang Jin.

-[Engine start up 100% complete. It will take 30 minutes to arrive at destination, Tonga.]

The speed is on the slow side. It was stationary for 4 years, so it is going slowly to prevent any defects. The important thing is that they are moving.

“Hercules has removed the source. The battles in the other 2 areas look like they’re going to end soon. General! We need to go back before a special mission is activated!”

If a special mission is activated, they will need to quit instead of just going back. It takes 1000 points to quit a level D. With a level C, it would probably take more than 10,000.

They can run away even if they anchor at the city, but they will prevent it if they can. They need to convince the Lieutenant in any way that they can and stop the ark.

“Our mission is to restore the ark. A conquest of the city is still too much.”

“I’m the captain of this ark! Follow my orders and occupy Tonga!”

The Lieutenant would not listen. Han Chang Jin felt murderous for a second but made a great effort to push it back. After all, he is also a victim of the parasites.

He cannot pressure a patient as a soldier.

“General! The fighting has ended. There are a lot of deaths and injuries!”

-[You have earned 20,000 points.]

-[Congratulations. You have cleared level D advance mission Dead Ark. Level C missions, store, and achievement system have been opened.]

The mission was completed when the source died, but the force’s fighting ended after more time because the infected hosts were still alive.

-[Whew! You all worked hard.]

-[That was tiring.]

The force members talked over the radio. From their standpoints, there was no rush. They can bring everything to a clean end and then go back.

Han Chang Jin was in a rush though. So were the party members at headquarters.

-[This is Han Chang Jin. Listen to me and return to reality right away!]

-[Return?]

-[What do you mean return?]

-[The Lieutenant manipulated the main system to reset the passage. The destination is Tonga! If we stay still, the ark is going to anchor at the infected city!]

-[What!]

-[What are we going to do about the survivors?]

-[If that’s true, we shouldn’t be worrying about the survivors. We’ll have to quit the mission if we anchor there, and that’ll cost a ton of points.]

One of the force members spoke with common sense, but that is not the point.

What if there is a variation and they cannot return? They would need to complete the mission or find a solution, but both are impossible for level C.

-[Hurry!]

-[Seven Stars, return. I’ll see everyone back in reality.]

Lim Si Hyun represented Seven Stars. They will not be able to reverse it if they hesitate.

-[The ark is anchoring at the infected city. There is a new mission because Dead Ark has been completed! The reward points has gone up to 1.8 million.]

What? 1.8 million? This means that the mutants residing in the infected city are level 6. They can never win. There is not even a 1 in 1 million chance that they can.

-[Huh? I can’t quit!]

-[Me neither!]

-[What are achievement points? They’re saying we can’t quit because we don’t have enough of these.]

Cha Jun Sung’s party realized over the radio that they need something other than the normal points in order to return. The worst scenario has happened.
