Chapter 122 (2/2)
“It’s not hard to remember. All you have to do is pay attention a bit.”
Not everyone can work in the same way. Some people are like this and some people are like that. Each Lifer has his or her own method of attack.
Violet pointedly expressed the allies supporting her. It must be a compliment because it will not be a generalized insult.
“There’s nothing in particular.”
“Nothing gets caught on the scan either.”
“You’re not thinking of searching through the whole mountain, are you? That would easily take a few days.”
It would be a few days because of the battlesuits’ field scans. If they had come without them, it would take a couple months, though they would have done something by then.
They were not very productive with their sight after wandering for several hours. This side is trees and there are mountains over there. They do not see any mutants either.
“Stay here. I’ll try going up there.”
“We’ll be waiting.”
Cha Jun Sung activated the booster. In the direction he is looking is a tower so tall that they need to bend their heads all the way back to see it from a mountain.
There are limits to field scans. If he goes up and looks around, he will be able to get an approximate idea of Closed Area’s layout.
“The drivers are impressive. How do they come up this high?”
About 150 to 160 meters? Cha Jun Sung was fortunately able to use the battlesuit to fly up but if he had not had it, he would have had to come up using a ladder.
Elevator? There isn’t one. The safety devices are insufficient too. Do they need to die? The building can be covered with just one finger. It is an optical illusion caused by distance.
The top of the tower. There is enough space for one or two people at most to sit. He recorded the panorama here as a hologram.
Pat pat pat!
“It’s a mutant.”
Dark figures go in and out of the building. There are level 1 and 2. He did not care about them. He is not here to catch them and he has no plan to.
He used to catch them as he saw them for the sake of points, but he considers efficiency now. It is better to take care of the big one and try again after.
“Have they cleaned up the area? How is it that there’s only prey here?”
The mutants Cha Jun Sung had fought until now had mostly been homogeneous.
From adultoids to imagos, they were the same species with different stages of development, allowing them to live in coexistence.
If they are ambiguous, they need to struggle to survive under strong mutants.
But the Caicus is a top level mutant that live in family units, and their population is not that large considering other level 5s.
Unless there is a predator that they cannot handle, they specify the area as their territory and capture and eat the mutants that may pose danger to them first.
Removing competitors and hunting prey – they are granted these 2 of significance.
The Caicus boasts a body like steel and superhuman strength. It would be comfortable if they could control level 3 and 4s, but they are far from mind control.
Since they cannot control them, it puts them at ease to kill any potential threats.
If the area has been organized as expected, there is no reason for there to be other mutants for them to be aware of. They would all have died.
“If that’s the situation…..”
Cha Jun Sung goes back to his party members. Humans and mutants both do not like invasion of privacy. He cannot find them? He needs to make it so they come looking for him.
Just like the last time as that drunkard had done without realizing he would die.
“You’re here?”
“Yeah. I think they’ve cleaned up the area.”
“What’s that?”
Koharu explained on Cha Jun Sung’s behalf. She was bored too.
“It’s characteristic for mutants who like living exclusively in small numbers. Since they’re strong, they don’t leave risks in their area. I don’t know their standards, but a level 3 or 4 like the Caicus would have gotten rid of 100% of level 4s.”
Koharu summarized concisely and it is all information that Violet and Kyoko already know.
Park Jin Hyuk lacks this kind of knowledge. The time he has played Life Mission is very short. He was busy trying to figure out what everything is now.
