Chapter 236 (2/2)

As long as she isn’t hit directly by the bombs falling from the sky, she won’t die from an indirect explosion.

That much, she can withstand.

Even indirect hits could be dangerous if they are repeated, but Odin, who is more precise than Cha Jun Sung, is watching out for this.

“They’re there too.”

The Bomb Ants climb on top of the Queen’s body and wrap her in layers. They have made themselves into a shield. A strong and durable shield at that.

Dozens of Bomb Ants carry the Queen and desperately run away. The surviving Bomb Ants followed behind them. The mutants also stopped fighting and scattered. It was just a union in the first place, so they don’t have a feeling of camaraderie.

A red flame covers the Bomb Ants.

They do not explode. The Queen could be injured if they do. They kept enduring it even though they were burning to death.

“It’s the leader!”

“Kill the group of mutants first! Surround them!”

“Left suppression shot!”

“Right suppression shot!”

Lifers aim at the Bomb Ants.

They are well aware that they need to kill the unified mutants first.

With shots fired from left and right, the range of movement for the Bomb Ants became more and more narrow.

They are gathering the Bomb Ants together so that it is easier to kill them.

On top of that, these Lifers flew. They assaulted in all different ways as though bombing from fighter planes.

Flying Bomb Ants went at the Lifers, but they were overwhelmed in numbers.

Flying Bomb Ants are born at a 1/100% rate compared to ordinary Bomb Ants.

The Bomb Ants were one-sidedly hit. The Lifers’ strategic tactics were outstanding, and the Bomb Ants’ power had been significantly decreased.

“Shall I get going?”

[… Are you going to kill Lifers?]

If Cha Jun Sung goes in, he would annihilate even a raid.

There could be differences based on members, but it would be the same even with level B Lifers.

“Ah. No matter how accustomed I’ve becomes to the idea of killing, I don’t kill innocent people. I’m just going to scare them a little.”

Whether it’ll become just a little scare or an unforgettable trauma, is up to the abilities of the Lifers.

Even so, they are above level C, so they won’t be peeing in their battlesuits.

“Go!”

The raid captain, a level B Lifer leading 9 forces, stood at the head of 900 people and chased the Bomb Ants. They intend on killing all of them without effort.

The Lifers split their roles.

3 forces spread out wide, created a mesh, and blocked it so other mutants couldn’t approach.

The other 6 forces focused on just the Bomb Ants.

The Queen Bomb Ant was desperate.

There are few of the enemy, but they are able to fly. Most of the flying Bomb Ants died during the first collision.

The Bomb Ants were pathetically swept under the attacks helplessly.

They don’t have an effect in the air if they self-destruct on the ground. All they can do is block the attacks with their bodies and run away.

The Queen Bomb Ant is running away to the advance base that they created not too long ago.

There isn’t much military force.

Just a few thousand.

There are a few advance bases, and they were created to control the respective regions they were in as their territory expanded.

The military force is divided, so it is difficult to form a large army in a short amount of time. The goal is to hide in an ant hill.

But they are surrounded, and running away itself isn’t easy.

Bullets rain down.

Lifers fly around swiftly and focus their attacks on the Queen Bomb Ant. If the Lifers hadn’t been able to fly, the Queen Bomb Ant would have fought even if she had to hit the sewers.

She would have been able to do something if the battle had been on ground.

“Groups 1 and 2 will block the Queen’s front. Groups 3 through 6 will take the sides and back. Groups 7, 8, 9 will maintain the net and keep the boundary.”

Bang!

Lifers in groups 1 and 2 increased their battlesuits’ output.

The Bomb Ants were moving among skyscrapers, so it was hard to catch them.

The location was changing from the city outskirts.

Buildings disappeared and plains began to appear. They were able to increase their speed because there were no obstacles.

Flap!

The sunlight gets blocked.

Groups 1 and 2 Lifers were trying to increase the chase speed, when they flinched. A black figure flapping a pair of wings.

Cha Jun Sung, with wings over 30m long from end to end, was blocking the Lifers’ path. He is alone, but he gave the feeling of filling up the entire world.

Hundreds of tails flail out like whips.

They move as if each one is alive, and soar toward the rigid Lifers.

Though he lacked Odin’s support through the battlesuit, the instinct of complete awakening played the role not unlike the battlesuit’s system.

Cha Jun Sung checked how many Lifers there were, calculated the direction to move in, and attacked. He did this all within a few seconds.

He took out the cutting force, so the Lifers yelled in pain under the force that was like getting hit with a bat.

They were all flung in different places. One person went through a building’s walls, rolled on the ground, and landed on the roof of a rusty car.

The Lifer wasn’t hurt.

He hadn’t hit to kill, so he just left the Lifer on top of the car. He only hit with an amount of power that the battlesuit’s armor could handle.

Boom boom boom!

Very few Lifers withstood the impact and maintained their shaky balance.

However, they trembled in fear from what they heard over their PDAs rather than from the unidentified mutant that suddenly appeared.
