# Sacramento (1)

“Make haste, maggots! ”

Sergeant Diane yells sharply. Her attitude towards Independents was more rigorous than ever. It's probably because of winter's request to train him like an officer Cadet. The soldiers under the staff of the sergeant rush to prepare for transport. The next area of operations for the task force was Sacramento. The largest metropolitan area in the central plains of California has now become a fierce battlefield with 170,000 American troops.

Captain Singh, who has been informed of the situation, said:

“I feel like they're on their own. ”

It means you're willing to sacrifice a minority for multiple survivors. Winter was the same.

“You wanted to tie our feet together somehow. It won't work the way you want it to. ”

Regrettably for the mutants, Boar Hunting is still active. The vast majority of the armed forces in the two northern states are in the south and the length of the defensive lines has been reduced. Even if every city we encountered left a blockade, the troop density would still be higher than before.

“Still, you can't expect an okay fight like this. I'm worried about new specialties than the adaptation and craftsmanship of clever things. They are dangerous in confined environments like Civil War. I hope we don't run into each other... ”

“That's going to be hard. The eastern part of the metropolitan area is close to the mountains. It must have flowed by now. ”

The first reports of contact with strange monsters came from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California's backbone. It was a little surprising for winter that two different species appeared at the same time. Perhaps some of the existing specialty variants were removed due to low utility.

‘Maybe a stalker…… No, maybe Grumble. ’

In the overwhelming dominance of the United States military, the giant monster was only a large target that led to firepower. One round of chariots, one bombing of the Air Force, separates the bones and flesh.

Meriweather, the preliminary company, reported:

“Sir. We're ready to move. ”

Winter nods and looks back at the chiefs.

“We'll ride, too. If you have something to say, say it along the way. ”

Therefore, this time, the vehicle was a commanded armored car. Lieutenant Evans already shrugs. The Humvee is much better in terms of motion sickness, even if it's similar.

Winter touched the information field on the Civil War Specifications Command Console. I was wondering if there was any new information. A long list was printed at the end of a few seconds of loading.

"That's a lot."

Even at this moment, written reports, photos, videos, briefings, etc. are being updated in real time. The U.S. military had as much initial contact as they needed yesterday and this morning's demonstration of monsters. A new, functioning country was a really powerful force.

Winter reordering the list by item played one of the most viewed videos.

Tata, Tata, Tata, Tata!

Even with the volume down, a rowdy gunshot stuns the chiefs. Winter gives a slightly sorry look and looks up. No, it's not.

Damn! It doesn't fit at all!

I hear swearing in the video. The reason it sounded so echo was because winter's chiefs started sharing their screens on their consoles.

The soldiers' cautious targets were small and agile. Variant cord scamper, a foot tall, developed lower back and back joints, enables incredible acceleration and redirection even in mountainous terrain. It seems that the smaller side of the fight against Humans may be more advantageous, i.e., mutations in the direction of reducing the footprint. Huge grumbles and mechanisms in the body seem to be more volatile than complex tricksters.

After all, biting is the victory of the Mutant.

Enemy at 2 o'clock!

"At 10 o'clock! Ugh, it's at seven o'clock! They're spinning!

"Button! Cartwright! Grenade!"

Frag out!

Several grenades are thrown at the herd, circling around obstacles. Then the surrounding bush flutters violently. Malformed dwarves protrude out, scattered like wildlife avoiding predators. In the meantime, there were some who behaved completely differently.

Boom, boom!

"Shit! That shit's all over me! I can't believe it!

Not only that, there are some who leap like crazy and bite. It looks like a dog catching a thrown ball. At that moment, my head burst and I tore my chest. A body under pressure. Blood splattered all over the place. The upside-down avoid death. But that was the only moment. Between the distance of flesh splattered into the eyes, the stun gun fires its torso.

Shoot! Shoot them all before they hide! Don't let them get too close!

A shotgun shooter with a rifle is shown underneath the rapidly moving screen. Trigger with multiple cuts in knee shot position. In the infirmary, a bunch of broken links popped up with shells. No reloads. 500 rounds of grenade backpacks remain heavy.

"Banks! How much oil is left?!

Eh… five rounds!

"Damn! Grind that thing! Squad 1! That way! Take them down the ramp!

The captain of the platoon, who did not know his name, was correct. Many Dwarves have fallen on rough roads because they just showed up. It felt like I couldn't control speed and balance. The fierce, stubborn man falls down sprinkled with blood, trembling at his thick legs. I broke my neck when I hit my head first.

Ow! Ow!

Screaming in unison, you find too late those who have narrowed the streets in the blind. The commander bit his arm while being ambushed. No, it's an arm block. His uniform was the same as the winter task force. However, there is a sound. Whether the flesh underneath the suit is chewed or the monster's teeth are crushed.

Soldiers aiming their guns at the platoon commander hesitate without firing. Tatata! The beast's stomach is torn from its back. The platoon commander shoots a rifle at the distorted abdomen with one hand and attacks the soldiers.

"Crazy bastards! Don't even look at me! I'll take care of my ass!

A situation in which inverted monsters protrude zigzagging and shortening their distance while taking advantage of the lack of shots.

"Throw flashbulbs and grenades together!

The commander drops his rifle and draws his pistol. A dwarf monster who wiggles his head ferociously at the expense of his jaw line, even though his spine is broken. Shoot him in the head from a distance.

Eat and fall, motherfucker!

Ta-ang! Bang! Gunfire and flames are huge. It was a large caliber (.357) pistol, not a typical supply. Multiple rounds of ammunition in the eyes, forehead and head of the variant. Then finally, the lid flew off. Though not intentional, it was a wound similar to Devgro's canoeing. The beast that loses half its head shrinks. The platoon commander took the chin off and checked his forearm.

Huff, puff... Damn! I almost went to hell.

The suit itself survived the creature's teeth. The flesh under the rolled sleeve is covered in blood. Still, it would be a relief to avoid infection.

‘Is dental grip of a normal variety? ’

The scamper has yet to be captured alive samples. Therefore, the precise grip strength is unknown. However, seeing that the new suit was not pierced, it would not be better than a dog. Winter reminded me of a demonstration of Sergeant Ian Mendoza who had brought a dog with him. From sleeves to elbows, the blade performance is just as important.

“This guy fights like a good fighter. He's a new commissioner.”

As I watched the battle unfold at the end, the operations officer was slightly impressed.

Thump. The commander's armored car is shaking. Lieutenant Evans is in trouble. The road to Sacramento International Airport, where the forward base is located, was in poor condition. Occasionally, the season of burning the earth continued, and the murderous direct sunlight melted the asphalt and tore it apart. If I run a little, the Humvee wheels will get sticky.

The intelligence officer is concerned.

“Movement is very agile. And you're doing a collective action. ”

Winter nods.

“If I'm unlucky, I could throw a grenade. ”

The current workaround of the boss was to increase the grenades, flares, and grenade portability of the soldiers. But that's not enough. The first line commanders wanted to replace the soldiers' weapons. Electronic shotguns that can fire, that's enough to sharpen these things.

The most powerful guns were familiar to the winter. Which gun would be stranger to this view of the world was the one Joanna used when she entered the April Pacific (AA12). Even though it's close to the heavy artillery, the supervisor handled it well.

‘Although the weight is a disadvantage.... I'm sure it's fine. It's all remotely digestible. ’

Unlike the general image, a shotgun does not necessarily only use a melee shotgun. With a single bullet (slug), it was a hundred metres long and a special purpose grenade (FRAG12), making a sharp bullet outside of 200 metres.

However.

“I don't think replacing weapons will be quick……. ”

There are so many troops that need it right now. The shotgun was not mainstream, so it could not be replenished so quickly.

“I think we should actively use mobile obstacles. ”

At the end of winter, Captain Singh agreed strongly.

“I was just thinking the same thing. Looks like a body bunker. This will do just fine with Hunter. ”

Hunter was another one of those special variants of courtesy. Additional lungs are attached to the back and torso, which injects a projectile of a material similar to teeth with air pressure. The problem was that the projectile had a protuberance embedded in it. Due to its heavy mass, a new battle suit alone cannot completely defend it.

The first medic, who was doing first aid, was bitten by a mutated casualty.

“If it's just a swarm of scampers you can use, you can put wheels on Slat Armor. They're useless now anyway, so I'll give them to you as soon as I ask for them. ”

Captain Singh's proposal was also considered for ease of procurement. Slat Armor was an extra pair of gloves that looked like steel for attachment to the vehicle. It was originally designed to explode because something like an old rocket was caught. It was very limited in defense warfare.

Winter was positive.

“The wheel on Slat Armor... That's good. We're fighting in a city with roads. It's an obstacle. We have to get rid of it anyway... Well, maybe we can take the wheels off the shopping cart or something. ”

Saying that it can be made instantaneously in the field. It is part of the field renovation.

"It's best to eliminate them early. ’

Ineffective specialized variants are no longer made. Before they could prove themselves, they needed to be focused on disabling it before it spread further.

“H-how about asking for an oppression shield?" ”

Operations Officer recommends.

“The commander blocked it with his arm in the video a moment ago. The suppression shield will be effective against monsters that resemble wild dogs. We split two by two in each squad.... And it's an advantage that we already have enough. I don't know, but there are tens of thousands of them every week. If we get the police and FBI's understanding, we can still get air support today, right? ”

Winter makes an awkward face.

“That's a good idea for us, but if we did, the police would sound dead. ”

“ ……. ”

“You might actually die. ”

Johanna expressed that there is still some balance left. This means that the riot was not unusual at any time or place. It would not have been easy for a police officer to give up tools for protests that would be full of bloodshed and burdensome.

“Let's start with a proposal. It's not up to us to decide. ”

Winter swiftly taps the keyboard. It was a report posted to the top of the force immediately. The first line commanders' judgments and recommendations in the fight against mutants are accepted at large. This was also reflected in the HR Assessment. Therefore, the report should accurately state the author's identity.

# Today's Django Unchained Soundtrack Freedom (Cover by Justine Dorsey & Octavius Womack)

This is Freedom, the OST of Jeango's Chaser of Fury. Now, many of you may know it's a good song, but Justine Dorsey and Octavius Womack played it really well.

# Q&A

Q. Caioga: Since the writer @ says it's no big deal, Min-won must have left a knife in his head at night? Blah.

A. I don't have a head at night.

Q. WNSDLFH: I'm sorry, but I don't know how long it's been since I've seen a white fox talk.

A. It wasn't in the chat window. Well, I don't remember exactly which part... I'll let you know when I find it.

Q. Sunshine nap: Before I called your name, you were just a gesture. When I called your name, you became the chaos that creeps up on me.... I thought it was a flower, but when I saw the chaos that creeps in, I was confused... Fortunately, because of this, the control personality will become a flower, not the chaos that creeps up.

A. Yes. because this novel ends with a happy ending. I'm honest. I don't lie. Those of you who did not believe should reflect on your wickedness.

Q. Tntn12: @ The real hero is Operation AI!

A. A star child's writing position... Phew, I can't tell you.

Q. Love ^ ^: @ Can you build a love affair with winter… but Tunguska, you can't, probably… So I hate Scalochen! Heil Scalorchen!

A. Loveline?... and I will satisfy you enough someday. There's no point in regretting it.

Q. GreenTurtle: @ (Strategy) + Is Mr. Vladimir enjoying playing with more Koreans?

A. Vladimir Azo has his own agenda.

Q. Just like that: I'm really happy to have a conversation with the control personality after the @ chapter. I'm looking forward to the next chapter since I have all my favorites. Heh heh

A. I will try to write something that meets my expectations.:)

Q. coltes45: I think @ winter has a lot of skill levels and I've seen endings many times... why do viewers talk about endings almost like they haven't? Is it because of the past trend?

A. Winter has no history of clearing after the end of the world. It's all over.

Q. Svjk: I can't help but notice your comment that @ winter is a frozen child... If you think about the names of children who made mistakes in the early days you mentioned earlier, you might have a slight idea of what a sad story you first came up with. If you look at the evolution so far, I think the sad endings look better, but there is a certain degree that you changed the content.

Would you be willing to put a disk on a cover other than a happy ending?

A. It's gonna be hard. There's already a lot of variation, and that's how much we have to spend. And personally, I think the current direction is better.

Q. QGEGEGQE: @ Sinsechino Kamini Ferry! The star child and the winter that accompany him are increasingly dangerous.

A. There was a similar feeling in Naver. It's like a huge process of God being made. "

Q. darkniszero: @ was actually a blunt and blind father, not a great old one.

A. You don't need to know too much.: (

Q. Exterminators: @ complete. I'm curious, maybe I missed it in a hurry, but you said it was an infectious protuberance embedded in the tongue. But does it get infected with just a simple touch, or do you have to cut yourself open and inject an infected clinic to get infected? Given that there are no known variations such as Smoker in Repoday, the situation seems to be the latter, but we would appreciate it if you could add some more settings to respond.

A. The latter. You have to enter the pathogen through the pathogen, which is the Mogelon complex, to become infected. This complex is much different from simple bodily fluids. Contact with mucous membranes can be infected without injury. If the composite is exposed to air without mediators, it will not survive long.
