“Huh? You’re saying the entire city was covered in Head Quarters?”
“To be precise, that’s not it. How many Head Quarters were there?”
Park Jin Hyuk frowns in thought and looks at Kyoko. He can’t remember how many there were.
She looks at him pathetically, “There was one level 7, about 30 level 6s, and hundreds of nests and hatcheries, so we couldn’t count properly. The volume… Phew!”
It’s horrible to even think about, and Kyoko shakes her head.
Park Jin Hyuk, Kyoko, Violet, and Basil get a cold sweat when they even think about what happened.
Before Cha Jun Sung entered Path of Blood, Park Jin Hyuk’s group created a raid with the World Federation and entered a level B advance mission first.
But they didn’t come out until about half a month after Cha Jun Sung, who had remained inside his mission for some time.
The mutants they met inside that mission were the Head Quarters they had encountered at the Institute of Biological Sciences before, and there had been dozens of them. A large city had been contaminated by level 7 Head Quarters, but the only person in their group who had tried catching them in the virtual version had been Nine Tail.
“They’re layered by sequence of evolution like a hamburger, and the outside looked like a hatchery. I’m not lying, but levels 1 and 2 created several tens of thousands within moments.”
Levels 1 and 2 mutants aren’t big threats to level B Lifers. They’re so weak that they can be swept away with just automatic cannons or reinforced rifles.
Even if there are tens of thousands of them.
The problem is that once this was repeated a few times, they started to use up all of the equipment they had brought. They can’t kill without laying a hand on them. After getting through the hatchery wall, it is a nest. Mutant levels went up to levels 3 and 4 as well. Those are still weak levels, but they rebel more.
“Head Quarters and nests are big, and they’re visible from far away, right? And wasn’t it a big city? Couldn’t you use something like a white phosphorous shell?”
Park Jin Hyuk shook his head.
There were so many hatcheries gathered together that there were a lot of different mutant types. There were all different types.
“Jun Sung. You know what Red Blood Worms are, right?”
“Ugh! Red Blood Worms? If those were there, that means they would have been everywhere.”
Level 4 Red Blood Worms.
They spit out a liquid that is as red as blood, that becomes as hard as steel. They are weak in offense, but strong on defense.
A massive about of Red Blood Worms completed a block in the shape of a dome over several years, with Head Quarters living inside. Only a hole for Lifers to enter had been created, and the rest of the paths in and out had been blocked. The Lifers had struggled fiercely to created a way out.
They found out later, but the thickness had been 4m. That means it was like a steel wall 4m thick. They tried throwing bombs at it, but it only affected the outer wall. They were only able to reach the hatcheries once they had gotten through the wall of Red Blood Worms, and they took care of those sequentially.
“More than 600 people died. We had to fight head on against two level 7s and hundreds of level 6s that the Head Quarters created.”
Head Quarters created a massive amount of powerful soldiers while the hatchery and nest created time.
And they created a total war.
“Ugh…! If it hadn’t been for Nine Tail, we might have been completely wiped out.”
Nine Tail had said that they cannot leave the Head Quarters’ main body. He said that once they’re backed into a corner, the sub-objects suck nutrients from the main body.
Something about how if that happens, they could pick off the level 7s by the hour.
Park Jin Hyuk’s group works well together, so they took on the Head Quarters. The rest of the people fought the level 6 and 7s, but a lot of them died in that battle.
There weren’t 30 Lifers who advanced even with that sacrifice. Fortunately, Park Jin Hyuk’s group’s contribution was high, so they all advanced along with a few Rankers.
“Jun Sung, tell us what happened to you too.”
“Me?”
What can he tell?
Cha Jun Sung explained his battles against Odelia, Narsiel, and Vanessa. Everyone listened with interest.
Rankers Koharu, Violet, and Basil in particular know that level 8s’ offense is stronger than people think.
It is difficult for even a total trailblazing level A Lifer to fight one-on-one against a level 8. Even with the weakest, they need to stick with at least a party.
“Just because a mission level is high doesn’t always mean you need to enter with a force or raid. There are restrictions with larger numbers.”
The maximum entry for level A missions is a 10,000 member core or corps.
If they go around in hordes, it is easier for mutants to spot them.
This means they could end up in an unnecessary battle.
Cha Jun Sung had not been bothered by other mutants in the Path of Blood while fighting against Evil Queen’s three daughters. He only fought with them.
If they had entered in threatening numbers from the beginning to fight the three daughters, there is a high probability that they would have had to go to war.
North America is Evil Queen’s region.
If she is the queen, her daughters are princesses. If a princess gives an order, soldiers do not have the authority to say no.
Sometimes, less is more. Having more people is better, but there are times when having small numbers is advantageous.
No matter how excellent the Lifers are, if there are too many people on a boat, the boat is bound to sink. Everyone has their own tendencies, so they are bound to make missteps. If they want to survive level S and A missions going forward, it is important that they take these kinds of matters into consideration and create maximum efficiency.
Park Jin Hyuk’s group took Cha Jun Sung’s words to heart.
This is advice from the experience of the only level S Lifer at this point in Life Mission.
Beep beep!
Park Jin Hyuk’s PDA rings.
He checks his phone reflexively. It isn’t a voice call, but it is a message someone left.
“Oh! Jun Sung?”
“Yeah.”
“Strategist wants to see you. Stop putting him off and pick up.”
Someone who doesn’t know might think that he doesn’t like Strategist. Cha Jun Sung isn’t avoiding him because he doesn’t like him. He just ignored him because he had something to do every time he called.
“Alright.”
“He said he’s preparing some kind of project, so it’ll probably be about that.”
“Project?”
“I don’t really know. Ask him yourself. Aha! We can go together.”
Park Jin Hyuk wrote a response and decided on a time to meet.
Cha Jun Sung thought about the project.
What could it be?
He’ll know once they meet, right?
***
Cha Jun Sung’s jaw dropped when he saw the thousands of drawings laid out on the wide table.
He looked back and forth between the drawings and Strategist.
He doesn’t understand what the drawings mean. It is too complicated for him to be able to comprehend. Strategist stuck his tongue out too.
“So – so you’re saying you’re going to create what’s on this drawing?”
“I thought while completing the level B advance mission that no matter how much we raise our specifications, there are limits if we don’t have a giant weapon like Life Mission.”
Cha Jun Sung looks down at the table again.
He cannot understand, but he knows what the drawings are meant to create and what it’ll be used for.
[Albatrus Blueprint]
– Albatrus: 1 billion points, 20 million achievement points
– 70% of Earth, it is an unknown world more than twice as large as combining all six continents. Even with scientific technology that can go beyond the sky and space, they could not take on the sea. The primary reason is that the tremendous pressure gets worse the lower they go in the deep sea! Defenseless nature has the power to crush any submarine. On top of that, ever since the A virus spread, ocean mutants increased and changed the environment for the worse. Since Life Mission was created as an all-in-one strategic weapon with all of the science they know, that is the Sub Alabatrus. If Lifers are able to make the Albatrus descend, there is the possibility that they become rulers of the sea!
To say it plainly, these thousands of drawings are a blueprint to create the Sub Albatrus. It even has the materials needed written down.
Strategist is thinking of making the Sub Albatrus.
“Wow. Won’t it be better to buy the finished product?”
Cha Jun Sung asked thoughtlessly.
It is a strategic weapon beyond the battlesuit. It is hundreds of times what a single individual is capable of buying.
“This is a drawing of something that can’t be found in level A, but level S.”
Cha Jun Sung looks surprised.
Level S store?
There is no way Strategist would have opened level S. Could there have been another card?
