Boom!
On the one hand, while mutant Cha Jun Sung was full of thoughts of Park Jin Hyuk’s group, another Cha Jun Sung was crossing through the Amazon’s jungle.
It really is vast. It is a tremendous area over 70 times the size of Korea. He doesn’t see an end to it because he has to search it without gear.
This is the same even when flying in the sky. Turning off the booster and going on foot can’t even be imagined. He would need to wander around until he dies.
Cha Jun Sung landed on a small plot of land on one side of the jungle in order to save his battlesuit’s energy. It is an area with a lot of water. It is the Amazon River.
“It’s uncomfortable.”
If Cha Jun Sung’s battlesuit energy went below 50%, he stayed in one place until it reached 100%. He didn’t move around for no reason.
He is out of charging devices, so he needs to rely on solar power. That is why nighttime is most dangerous. Moonlight charging rate is the worst.
Small mutants don’t matter, but he can’t come out unscathed if he runs into a level 8. That’s why he was as careful as possible at night.
The total amount of energy in a level S battlesuit is vast, but it isn’t infinite. That’s why it depletes easily once he starts using it. It takes quite some time to fully charge with solar power, which is natural energy.
Cha Jun Sung opened up the solar panel, halted his battlesuit’s functions, and laid on the ground. Since it is mechanical armor, it is like a rock.
Boom!
A sound from right next to him.
Cha Jun Sung turned his head while lying down.
Something wobbles and crawls toward him from far away. It is obviously a mutant.
It is twice the size of a large truck. It looks like a crocodile but much more bizarre. With sharp bumps all over its body, it is level 6 Awl Armor Crocodile. The Awl Armor Crocodile didn’t notice Cha Jun Sung, and passed by him. It was only a few meters away. It was a narrow margin, but he wasn’t nervous or anything like that.
Whether it is injured or tired, it plops down without getting too far. Because of that, muddy water is pushed by the large mass and covers Cha Jun Sung’s battlesuit.
Cha Jun Sung sat up. The Awl Armor Crocodile looks at him.
But that is it. It just breathes.
“Odin. Scan it.”
Zing!
Odin scans the Awl Armor Crocodile’s entire body.
It was easy because it didn’t move. Its form comes up on the battlesuit’s hologram.
“It’s injury was penetration. Something pierced its side. Is it an automatic cannon?”
It would have quickly regenerated if its skin had been pierced, but its organs were affected. It might be difficult, but it won’t die with a level 6’s ability to regenerate.
[It sustained this injury within the last hour. There must be Lifers nearby.]
It seems to have somehow gotten away from Lifers. Cha Jun Sung lost interest and went back to his spot. There’s no need to get blood on his hands.
He’ll have already left this place once the Awl Armor Crocodile recovered and became active again. It is bothersome to kill it and he won’t get points anyway.
“Should I just pretend to be crazy and beg?”
If they are at the 10 year point, charging devices will be super cheap. If he meets parties with devices, they throw him one or two out of pity.
[That’s a good idea too if you’re trying to get out of the Amazon. You’ll get supplies and get out of a dangerous zone. Do you want to try it?]
“Nah.”
Cha Jun Sung went back to what he was doing. He‘ll just keep going without it.
Bang bang bang bang!
An explosion of a large scale battle with Lifers. The Awl Armor Crocodile forced itself up in order to run away.
Cha Jun Sung woke up as well.
[I have gotten an idea of how many Lifers there are by the explosions. This kind of sound means it’s a raid unit. They could be fighting with a level 7.] [They are estimated to be 9 to 10km away. What do you want to do? Will you go?]
Cha Jun Sung thought about whether he should go or not. The battle continued.
“Fine.”
Cha Jun Sung threw his body. He didn’t fly, but moved by land. 9 to 10km is a distance that he can go within 5 minutes while running.
But the explosions decreased as he got closer. It seemed the battle was coming to an end. What bothered him however was not the decreasing sound of explosions.
“Ack!”
“Ack!”
Lifers screaming. A raid means level B. If it is this fierce, they could be in the middle of advancement. They are fighting a level 7.
‘It’s over.]
