Papat!

It knows that it has been discovered, and moves away. It jumps between trees with the speed of a flying squirrel.

“No! Catch it!”

“Ugh!”

Cha Jun Sung’s group activated their boosters to catch the Blade Weasel with confidence, but they cannot make the worst possible scenario.

Blade Weasels live in packs. If they lose it here, Heinkel will find out that its area has been invaded. There is nothing worse than having the enemy expect them in a situation where they need to annihilate everything.

If they can discover the enemy first, they can lead the battle to their advantage. There are countless scenarios that come to mind. They can set up a trap in an appropriate place or throw a bomb into the center of the nest.

“Ah! Damn it!”

“Jun Sung! I can’t catch it! Ack!”

Park Jin Hyuk was only looking at the Blade Weasel’s rear as he ran and was not able to avoid a thick branch nearing him, hitting him in the face.

The branch breaks and Park Jin Hyuk does a half turn. He is not hurt because the battlesuit absorbed the impact, but he can see the blue sky.

Papapapat!

Koharu, Violet, and Basil overtake him once he has fallen. Even the slowest Kyoko is not an exception. She went from 2nd to 6th.

Boom!

Cha Jun Sung blocked the Blade Weasel’s movement with his reinforced rifle and grenades, but they were of no use. It only put more distance between them.

[Overbooster activate!]

16 boosters burst on at the same time and Cha Jun Sung’s body flies forward. But that is all.

The jungle is the Blade Weasel’s homeground. It knows the terrain like the back of its hand, so it moves only in the areas where there are no obstacles.

Cha Jun Sung is not able to use his normal speed. He went back and forth between getting faster and slower, and the Blade Weasel grew smaller every time he reduced the speed. He is already far from his party members. Their battlesuits are unrelated to boosters, so they are in no condition to catch up to Cha Jun Sung.

Cha Jun Sung leapt into the sky. He is going to fly. The energy consumption is severe, but it is not a problem because he has a rapid charging device.

“Ugh! What is that!”

He flew at a reasonable height because he will lose the Blade Weasel if he escapes the range of the forest. Thin branches hit him, but he passes by them. The distance narrows once the obstacles are gone. He will catch it soon.

“Huh?”

It went into a tunnel hidden by leaves. It does not matter whether it was just dug or if it was dug in advance. It is important that it went inside, meaning he lost it.

“Ugh!”

Wiing!

Pew pew pew pew!

Cha Jun Sung set up the automatic cannon, set it to manual, and made the hole into a honeycomb. It is a heavy machine gun that could even get through a steel plate several centimeters in thickness.

The dirt floor might as well be made of jelly. But he does not get a notification that he acquired points. It seems it ran away in that short period of time.

“Jun Sung, did you catch it?”

“No.”

Koharu arrives behind him and looks at the automatic cannon and hole. It is so wide that they can go in, but they do not want to do that.

“How long has it been there? Oy! I guess Heinkel will go around looking for us.”

Their plan had been to search the jungle, find the Blade Weasels’ nest, reduce their numbers, and then face off. Now that this has happened, Heinkel will either let the Blade Weasels loose to find them or expand its area to prepare for an attack.

“Seeing how it was going around alone, do you think it could be some kind of scout?”
