Chapter 133 (1/2)

The smoke just expanded inside and did not spread outside, but there is no good in going near it.

“The radio with Lifers who were engaged with Blood Kingdom was cut off.”

“Are you – are you saying that they all died? Does that make sense? There were 6 rankers in there!”

“Rankers are people too. They aren’t immortal.”

Nuclear raised his voice at his subordinates’ reports, and Chamma Sword calmed him down.

“Chamma Sword…..”

“Who are you? This is the first time I’m seeing you.”

His face is the same in reality and in the virtual. There are only 5 or 6 of the 36 rankers who did not virtually mold their faces, and Chamma Sword is one of them.

“Oh, I guess we’ve never met in reality. This is Korea’s Overload, who you were all very curious about.”

“Oh?”

“You’re Overload?”

The rankers’ reactions are split in half. They either do not care or are surprised.

Ice Queen and Boom Buster’s group know who he is because they have seen him, but Chamma Sword, Strategist, and Nuclear’s group were surprised because they did not know Cha Jun Sung from reality.

Weapon Master’s reaction stood out in particular.

“It’s been a while.”

“Ah, yes.”

Mechanic City is really an interesting place. It locks rankers up in 1 place and leads them to each other. He had not been able to see a single one before coming here, but he saw a majority of them today.

“I’m Strategist of the world federation. Can you give us a detailed explanation? It doesn’t seem possible to enter into that.”

Strategist looks at the white phosphorus smoke. It does not look as though it will go away anytime soon. They cannot do nothing, so they at least need to hear how this happened.

***

Several hours passed until the smoke finally settled. Park Jin Hyuk’s group ran out through the other direction, so they needed to circle around in order to meet. Cha Jun Sung explained what he saw and experienced to Strategist. The world federation had not been expecting Blood Kingdom to go so far, and many kept sighing heavily.

They have too much to consider, while the enemy is lawless. Just as it is much more difficult to prevent crimes than it is to commit them, it is the same context for the 2 groups.

“Murderers are throwing the real world away and crossing over into Mechanic City?”

“Yes. The real world is not a good place for them because there is law and order there. This place is paradise for them.”

Mechanic City is the best environment as it cuts off national interference. Blood King’s group is good at using their heads.

“We are sweeping through them by mobilizing Lifers on a national dimension. We’re getting a fair amount of results as well because we do not consider killing murderers as murder.”

But because they can move freely between reality, the mission, briefing rooms, and Mechanic City, it is not easy. If the murderers completely take root here, there will be more disasters like that of today.

It is not a pleasant thought to do the same and stoop to their level.

He knows that it is a definite crime, so he cannot steal just because others are doing it. The world would have already perished if it was overrun with such people.

“How dreadful.”

Nuclear spoke as he looked at the road in ruins. It is another hell from that they have seen in the missions. A few buildings fell over completely and a few of the large buildings were ruined.

“The device launch itself is 5 million at the minimum. How crazy.”

“I guess 5 million is cheap for this kind of force.”

There will be no point if the battlesuit is upgraded, but anything below is nothing. It could be a genocidal weapon.

Strategist gives orders. Lifers turned on their biometric detectors to look for survivors. Rankers were gathered in one place. Blood Kingdom is bound to sweep through them if they appear.

“How many points do you think would have been taken off with this kind of chaos?”

“It’ll be in the hundreds of thousands.”

“Phew! They would have earned points while killing Lifers, so it might have covered what they lost.”

Glare Gun touches a hand cannon. He really does not know how to stop these guys. If it were up to him, he would put tracking devices on them. If they could know what they were going to do beforehand, they could at least block them. It is maddening that they bring on chaos out of nowhere.

“No vitals are reacting.”
