A 3m diameter transparent bead is wrapped in armor like a tank. So from the sides and the top, it looked like a half sphere. It looks heavy to the naked eye, but it was a machine created with an incredible metal that is light, hard, and strong.
It isn’t small – about half the size of a bus – but it weighs less than 1 ton.
The 300 small combat submersibles on the Albatrus.
Boom boom boom!
These 300 small submersibles have all been ejected and are fighting with tens of thousands of mutants. The Albatrus is doing its part from the rear as well. 100 hydraulic guns and 10 hydraulic impact guns are launching water cannons and water bombs without stopping. This is war.
High level cyborgs are inside the small submersibles. They work together and keep attacking the outside wall of mutants.
The middle is left to the Albatrus.
They are less in number, but allies can be hit by allies because the battle is chaotic.
Each of the small submersibles have abilities that match level 6 underwater mutants. To be more precise, they are low level 6.
They don’t amount to even 1/1000 of the enemy’s numbers, but they hit and retreated with group strategies and individual roles.
“Please, please go away.”
“Why are there so many of them? They’re like roaches!”
“Don’t make such a fuss. There’s a lot of them, but they’re just levels 3 and 4.”
“Yeah. The combination of the Albatrus and submersibles is doing well and if we get pushed back, we’ll win if we get involved. If you make a big deal out of something like this, how are you going to take on level 8?”
The Lifer listened to his colleague and wanted to say, ‘We’ll probably win, but someone will die and that could be you and me!’ but didn’t.
“I wouldn’t say anything if there were only lower levels! Look at them! Do you want to get into an underwater battle with those guys? The moment we get involved, so will they.”
Behind the tens of thousands of level 3 and 4 mutants, two large creatures are standing as the final defense line to the Turtle Babies. They watch the Albatrus.
Turtle Captains.
They are evolved from turtles, hence the name.
Turtles do not normally live in groups unless they are in mating season, but Turtle Babies move together in hordes. Turtle Babies have hard shells so the bullets bounce off of them and they use their heavy bodies to keep hitting in a simple attack.
The problem is that there are so many of them.
They have been at sea for 4 months.
As they got closer to where the Deep-Sea Teeth live, they had come face-to-face with a swarm of Turtle Babies.
This is the largest number of mutants they have come across with until now, so the battle is that much more fierce.
It is a situation that is enough to worry the Lifers.
The Turtle Captains guarding the final defense line have been receiving the protection of the Turtle Babies, and their 60m diameter sturdy bodies wriggle.
They have horrible scars all over their bodies and give off the air of veterans who have experienced all sorts of hardships. If these strong guys even have experience, they will really be tricky.
The Turtle Captains sent their underlings out and felt that the unnecessary consumption would last. They were thinking of getting directly involved and ending it themselves.
“They’re acting so arrogant. So much bravado.”
“Don’t talk so much.”
“Ok.”
Cha Jun Sung stopped Park Jin Hyuk from joking around.
Kyoko put her head down and sighed as though she were the one embarrassed.
“There are too many of them. The Turtle Babies are more of a problem than the Turtle Captains are.”
The Turtle Captains can act so arrogant because of the Turtle Babies.
To get caught up here.
[All Lifers, please prepare to eject. I will send the signal.]
They can hear Strategist’s radio come in.
At the end, they have been put in a situation where the Lifers need to get involved in the battle. Not one of the 1000 people stayed back.
Cha Jun Sung’s group naturally needs to go out as well.
After Cha Jun Sung took down two Penominas, the Lifers learned about fighting underwater whenever they could.
As he said, it is better for them to learn while they can. Over the past few months, they all got better at using their boosters. The environment itself is one in which they can’t help but get better in. They lived with water pressure on top of that, so the limits of their mental ability and withstanding physical pressure were all raised.
[Overload, we will create a path for you. We’ll leave the Turtle Captains to you.]
[Yes!]
The Rankers provide support. Hitting the head, the arms and legs will die on their own.
Albatrus and the small submersibles tried to kill the Turtle Captains, but they lack the ability. The Turtle Babies protected them even if they had to throw their bodies to do so. With the flow quickly changing every hour, it is something only Lifers like Cha Jun Sung’s group who can make fluid decisions, can do.
[Everyone eject!]
The bottom of Albatrus opens and 1000 Lifers pour out.
They all have compressed oxygen tanks on their backs. Without these, their battlesuits cannot even last 5 minutes. That means these tanks are a necessity.
Boom boom boom!
Lifers turn on their boosters and fly away.
A waiting stream forms in their advance. They refrain from solitary action and act as a force.
Turtle Captains watch the Lifers approaching them and open their mouths wide. Then they take as large a breath as they can.
[Turtle Babies! We don’t know where they’ll go, so you have to stay alert!]
Sea General moves his body in a zig zag.
Lifers follow his body movement. Turtle Babies are water cannons comparable to hydraulic guns.
A level A Lifer’s battlesuit could withstand it, but it is too much with level B.
Bang!
Two big water cannons large enough to cover two or three Lifers go out in a straight line.
Lifers scatter everywhere.
There are those who are not going in the direction they are coming in, so there is no need for them to avoid it. There are those who avoid it because they are coming in the direction they are going in. And of course there are those who weren’t able to avoid it.
Cha Jun Sung blocks the front of one of the two water cannons. Hades is pulled out of the scabbard, it leaves a sharp trace, and splits the water cannon in two.
He can’t block the other side, so 4 or 5 Lifers get swept away.
Battlesuits of Lifers who get hit full on by the water cannon, get crushed.
They didn’t making lasting damage on the outside, but it is different for the inside.
Blood keeps coming out because of the heightened water pressure.
[10 force, take the injured and get on half-wave submersibles and return to the ship!]
The last of the 10 forces, 10 force has a supporting role.
They have split up their roles.
They need to recover not just the dead and injured, but also the submersibles stuck to the bottom of the sea. Those are all points too. Each submersible is over 1 million points. And that’s not even mentioning the cyborgs.
The advanced rank has lower performance than the top and special ranks.
They cannot be militant thousands of meters deep into the sea in their bare bodies without the submersibles.
There’s still use for it. They can steer the submersibles.
A limited store.
Currently, they cannot replenish even useless 1 point items. They need to scrape together even a single piece of iron.
[Snipers, distance support! Opening up a path to the target in the shortest time!]
Snipers including Park Jin Hyuk get on their stomachs on top of Albatrus. It is a sphere, but it is so wide that they do not slip.
Boom boom boom boom!
Sniper rifle bullets penetrate the Turtle Babies coming at Cha Jun Sung and the Rankers. The sniper rifle is like a cannon so its range is over 10km, but because they are in the ocean, the range and power is reduced to less than half.
However, it is nothing to kill a couple slow turtles.
[Cover Overload!]
Rankers create a wall near Cha Jun Sung.
Level B Lifers have already joined the submersibles and are battling with the Turtle Babies.
It is a strenuous effort, but according to a simple calculation, he needs to handle hundreds of them alone.
Even if they don’t get pushed easily, the number of dead and injured will increase if they get hit by volume. The key is to catch the four Turtle Captains in a timely manner.
“It’s a blitz!”
He digs in among the Turtle Captains with Ranker support as a background. He needs to settle it before mutants smell blood.
