Chapter 128 (1/2)

Only 10,000 people entered Mechanic City at first.

With time, this number grew exponentially. Struggling Lifers were finally getting over the subtle boundary they were caught on.

That number is now over 10,000. It will become stagnant later, but it is expanding by the thousands according to the current trend.

Is it still a small number compared to the amount of area, but the situation is better than when they are alone in the area. If they just walk a little, they will run into several people.

January 4th. Zone H area 1.

Tens of thousands of Lifers are gathering to Black City. The world federation will be getting the card from Argos with everyone watching today.

It is a place where an incredible number of people are watching. They cannot have other thoughts.

The world federation had no thoughts of doing that, but people do not have the same thoughts. Honestly, Lifers were hoping that the deal would not go through.

They have the foolish dream that an opportunity might come to them.

There is no decided time. They decided that if Strategist is waiting in Black City, he will go at random to go through with the deal.

As is evident from this, Argos is considering his safety the top priority. It is a pity that he is so suspicious.

“How is it?”

“There really are a lot of people. Lifers are waiting in Black City’s vicinity.”

Park Jin Hyuk is watching the situation in Black City as per Cha Jun Sung’s request.

It is a big crowd. Any place where people can rest like restaurants, cafes, and parks, are full of people. There are even people standing in alleys and on the street.

“Jun Sung, what are you thinking?”

“I think something is going to happen.”

Koharu asked what she is curious about, but Cha Jun Sung just spoke vaguely. The party is waiting on the road where Argos is supposed to be attacked.

It is located about 30 minutes away from Black City. It is the time that it would take not on foot, but with transportation or battle suit.

“A force in the world federation is waiting every distance, and it seems like they’re concerned about security. There is a significant number of people with battle suits as well.”

As the head of the force, Strategist will have dispatched rankers just in case. He would have handled it well because he is smart.

‘This is clearly the optimal place.’

The roadside is relatively quiet. It is a good place to attack. Argos is not a strong user. He is a bus Lifer. He does not have stark protective means, so is weak enough to be overpowered if left defenseless.

Blood Kingdom’s influence is rigid, but they cannot go out into an all out war with the world federation.

Even if it is Mechanic City, which does not reach a nation’s power.

It is a place where they can end it with a swift attack. If rankers belatedly realize the situation and rush in, it will already be too late. That is why they lost the card.

‘Hercules will take Argos away. How long will the 5 of us be able to hold them off for?’

This is the strategy. Once they see Argos, Hercules will fall back. Then, they will buy time and go towards Black City.

If they fight in one place, they will run out of supplies. Blood Kingdom’s side has more rankers and they have a lot of people with battle suits, so they cannot even run away. They need to go as much as the world federation comes.

‘10 to 15 minutes according to a simple calculation.’

Since both sides are narrowing the distance, they will have to withstand 15 minutes.

‘I’ll be at the very front.’
