Untouchable: Reaper of the Battlefield

288. China Hustle ― 2

People's expressions were varied.

Anxiety, concern, expectation, hope, fear, frustration, aspiration…….

Seowon looked at people's faces and wondered why he fought so fiercely with the Black Lotus in hell.

‘Even if humans like each other work together, it's not enough.... ’

There was no point in picking the primus or the successor. Before he arrived, the battle between the Black Lotus and the other groups was spreading fire.

Thinking about it, the confrontation was big enough for them. Maybe the biggest cause is the arrogance that only you think is right.

I have heard that their behavior, which I consider to be the enemy, has led to great revolt. I have heard that Europeans, especially those who acknowledge freedom of choice, have been fiercely repulsed.

The vows felt the Black Lotus idea that had been felt in purgatory melted on the screen that was now being watched.

It was an immaculate video. Eye-catching sightings and countless overwhelming manpower were devoted to the Hollywood blockbuster grammar. However, when I looked still, I felt uncomfortable somewhere in my mind.

It wasn't the glowing full-face helmet. Havens Gate was not caused by many bionic solvers that could not be mobilized even after death.

Whenever huge screens flashed, such as‘ best in the world ’and‘ strongest ’, their willingness to conquer the world seemed to convey what they thought was right.

* * *

Every time there was a unified act by hundreds of bionic solvers dressed in the same clothes, people blew up resilience.

Gunpowder fires in the distance. The beset beast bursts into agonizing screams, causing a distraction as Bionic Soldiers rush out of Beast's sight to attack. It doesn't strike a single blow, but it is an effective way to deal with a stronger presence by accumulating damage in a safe manner.

Kwon Oh Hyun, who was looking at the screen, shook his head to repel the screaming voice in his head.

Can you feel anything when you watch that video? It's not too late. Retract your investment decisions now! ’

Kwon Oh Hyun could not resist the doubts raised by reason. I need help. Help me push my decision carefully.

He sat down next to me and asked Seowon who was watching the video without a face.

“What do you think?”

Seowon opened his mouth without taking his eyes off the screen.

“I'm not sure. ”

Kwon Oh Hyun's face turned to dirt in a flash. My shoulders are weak and my legs are twitching.

My head buzzed thinking that I should cancel my investment right away.

The rapid music that was stimulating the eardrums stopped. The flashing screen stopped.

After the premade video, the live broadcast of Beast slapping was about to begin.

Together, Kwon Oh Hyun's second test began.

* * *

Moving on to the live screen, the dragon sitting to the right of the vow touched the vow with his elbow.

“What do you think?”

“I don't know. ”

Seowon answered the same question as Kwon Oh Hyun.

The dragon lowers its voice so that no one can hear it.

“You don't know what? ”

“The Beast.”

“What's the Beast? ”

“I've never seen him before. ”

The dragon stares blankly into the air and shakes its head. It was because I couldn't believe my imagination.

“No way... You would cheat against a billion people? ”

The vows were silent. I thought they could do that. However, it was too soon for me to have honest thoughts out of my mouth. People don't know anything about the Black Lotus.

The standby screen turned off and the studio appeared.

It was a Korean announcer who appeared frequently in broadcast programs.

Next to the beautiful female announcer, there was a man with glasses.

“Dear viewers, In charge of the live broadcast of Black Lotus' Beast Response……. ”

As soon as the introduction of the announcer ended, the glasses next door were introduced.

He was a self-professor in Korea with a Ph.D. in biology in the United States.

The professor banned today's internet broadcast using the grand expression, "The Great Steps of Humanity to conquer Unknown Life." He knew so much about The Beast and wrapped himself up as if he was the only expert in Korea.

Hyeong-gyu Kim's expression widened.

More than 90 percent of those who can say they know about the Beast in Korea belong to the National Guard Institute. The reliability of the video was greatly diminished by the allegations of the unidentified hummingbird.

A reckless explanation of his knowledge began, with charts and graphs evaluating the industrial value of Beast repellent.

He expected the market to be more than 10 trillion in less than a decade, and combined with the associated industry and employment effect would result in more than 30 trillion huge plates.

Hyeong-gyu Kim snorted.

‘You're talking like 10 trillion. ’

Three years ago, a joint paper was written by researchers in a country that held Bionic Soldiers, and the total market size was already more than 20 trillion. Catching the Beast is only part of it. Using Beast's corpse, biochemistry, computers, electricity, devices, and military industries are beyond anyone's wildest imagination. Since it has become public in this state, the rate of future development will be hard for anyone to predict.

After the professor's explanation, a description of the Black Lotus began.

Up until now, there have been mostly ‘sleds’ based on speculation and rhetoric, but the professor's knowledge of the Black Lotus has not been matched.

Hyeong-gyu Kim thought I should search the human property of that professor. Looking at accounts, real estate, and stock holdings, a connection with China will emerge.

"Fucking psychologist selling to China. ’

Immediately, the professor's face disappeared and the face of the Secretary of State appeared.

I thought he was the professor. He took his rightful place for eternity, at least he didn't betray his country.

Just listening to the world's best, largest, most powerful, and most advanced words came out of the line. They were all expressions that pointed to the Black Lotus.

A really strong person, a strong organization, doesn't use that expression on themselves. Smells of discomfort on people's faces.

* * *

On the screen appeared 50 Bionic Soldiers with splendid features.

Players of the day.

I couldn't see their faces because of the full-face helmet, but I could feel their splendor in front of the Red Flame.

After the end of China, introductions began one by one.

Each person's name was subtitled and read by the announcer.

No names came into people's heads. It was like that name.

When introducing soccer players, they move quickly if they are not star players. But the camera distributed time evenly to everyone. I hear someone yawning. It was boring and corny.

At the end of the introduction of 50 people, a majestic piece of music appeared.

The camera caught the back of a Bionic Soldier. Something slowly rises from below the ground.

I opened people's eyes.

“Wow!!! ”

“Fantastic!”

Everyone wanted to see it so much, but there was nothing but speculative coverage, and a target that had never been reported in the media in detail. It was a power suit.

The power suit that gave the black seal a golden accent overwhelmed people as soon as it appeared.

Two meters high, 50 centimeters high, and weighing 2.8 tons.

At the end of the introduction of the Power Suit, two of the six big guns were caught by the camera. At first glance, it was a giant gun that looked more than 5 meters. No description of the gun was made. But people trembled at the thought that if that enormous weapon were to be fired, there would be no life to lose in front of it.

* * *

Kwon Oh Hyun was nervous with his lips cut.

The room temperature was cool, but his forehead was sweaty. I had a habit of shaking my legs.

The power suit in front of you looks so powerful. The power suit on which the dragon rode was like a child compared to that monster. That much pressure came from the power suit on the screen.

Another negative thought came to my mind.

‘Not to mention the machine, and I think that gun is a lot stronger. What am I supposed to do, say I want to call off the investment now? Plus, only 50 Bionic Soldiers are visible. No matter how much I think about it, I don't think I can win. ’

I turned my head and saw the side of the vow. It was as calm as usual. The dragon sitting to the right of the vow and Oberon were discussing something with their hands closed. Kim Hyung-gyu, who was sitting far behind Oberon, was looking at the screen with a frowny face. I didn't like something.

‘Said the dragon. Jungwon is the strongest. Joon-won Kim said that 1 + 1 does not become 2 on this side. So you can take on 50 of them by yourself? No, how do you take out 50 on your own? ’

I was distracted dozens and dozens of times a second.

Oh Hyun Group, which offers hundreds of thousands of jobs, collapsed and woke up. He repeated the vertical rise and fall of Fortune 500 companies.

Kwon Oh Hyun seemed to be mentally ill.

He couldn't bear it and spoke to the vows.

“W-what about that power suit? You must be very strong, right?”

The sunken eyes of the vow looked at him.

“A power suit? That's not a power suit. ”

“Yes?”

Kwon Oh Hyun, who did not understand the answer of the vows, appeared with a text filled with a screen that he was going to ask again. It seemed like a message to announce the beginning of the fight game.

Someone's grief is caught in his ears.

It was a dragon and Oberon. They closed their mouths and smiled at what was so funny. I didn't feel a bit nervous.

Bang! Bang! > I heard a loud noise. The sound is getting faster. The camera flashes back.

You see the Beast running toward the Bionic Soldiers from a distance.

It was a giant gorilla-looking beast, except that it had four arms attached.

Seowon shakes his head with a sigh, looking at the screen.

“Why... do you look like that...? ”

“I'll tell you later. ”

The voice in my heart cried out again.

Last chance! ’

Kwon Oh Hyun hesitated, neither like this nor like that.

I noticed the people in the five groups rushing towards the Beast in line.

The battle has begun.

He missed another opportunity to withdraw his investment.

* * *

Bionic Soldiers, divided into five groups, used weapons as soon as they surrounded the Beast at a distance of about 20 meters. It was a promised attack, spreading a certain amount of ammunition in a given area.

People burst into resilience in the Black Lotus action, showing a more organized look.

The dragon tilts its head.

I had questions.

He's only dealt with the Beast twice so far. However, the short experience showed that the Beast on the screen did not feel very threatening. Moreover, I didn't understand why Bionic Soldiers behave in such a timely manner.

It's good to move ahead as planned. But the battlefield is like a constantly changing creature. In order to survive that change, we need intuitive resilience rather than reason. I didn't anticipate how I would cope with an explosion after moving around like that.

“Have you seen that Beast? ”

Oberon shakes his head.

“I've never seen it, but I think it's roughly grade D in C. ”

“D in C? What was the Beast we were dealing with in New York? ”

“He was a very strong man. It's always Class X.”

The National Guard ranks the Beast's strength as a bionic energy reserve. A, B, C in order of energy reserves……. It was not an absolute criterion, but 80 percent. However, data accumulated and a new rating was added.

A beast that was stronger than Class A was named Class S, and emerged with so much energy that it could not be compared to a beast of Class S.

Oberon struggled in Gangnam Station, class X. It was fortunate that his physical strength was much lower than his energy reserves, but when I think about it, I was still drawn back to the horror of his existence.

“How strong is D in C? ”

“They're the most common ones. I can handle it on my own. ”

The dragon opened its eyes.

“That's how many people are going to deal with him? ”

“I told you. The Chinese can't be trusted. ”

The dragon's expectations were somewhat correct.

The Beast's resistance begins to crack in the movement of 50 castaways. Overall, he was still in line. However, one or two people started to move away from the ranks, either rolling the floor or flying away to avoid an attack.

The screen became more noisy.

Suddenly, there was a buffer that had never been seen before and the screen was frozen.

I was running out of ammo.

Due to the deteriorating quality of the image, you can't see the detail, but the bullet doesn't seem to pierce the Beast's armor. The screaming beast grows louder and more people feel dizzy.

The movement of Bionic Soldiers moving three to four meters in a single leap, and moving at tremendous speeds, was remarkable enough to match the word 'snow globe'. However, disappointment grew in people's minds. It was because they looked great, but I couldn't find the strength I showed in the edited video.

The Beast attacks and causes someone to withdraw from their ranks.

Buffering stuck the screen.

A new scene appeared on the changed screen.

A power suit waiting at a distance initiates action.

A group of two, a group of three, began to attach a giant gun to their bodies.

One in the back aims a gun, and the other one in the front straps a gun across his shoulder.

It seemed like a measure to increase the accuracy and distribute the weight of the gun.

A giant gun glows blue.

After a short while, three flashes of light spread out toward the Beast.

It was so beautiful. The people who breathed awed again.

“Wow…! ”

The three beams of light hit the Beast.

The Beast, who was attacked on the shoulders, chest, and thighs, tapped the chest and back with four arms.

The sound of the scene was not captured properly, but people heard the cry of the movie King Kong in their heads.

The camera sees a large swelling of the Beast's longitudinally split thigh muscles.

Beast's legs hit the ground.

A large body suddenly disappeared from the screen. The Bionic Soldiers, who lost their target in an instant, look around their heads.

The screen was frozen. People focused on understanding the meaning of the disconnected screen.

The Beast lands in front of the Power Suit. But the video stopped completely.

A vow of silence.

“It's over.”

Kwon Oh Hyun tried to ask me what he meant. However, the vows moved faster.

He picks up the satellite phone and calls somewhere.

“Increase your bid. ”

* * *

Instead of the battle scene, you see a picture of the studio.

The announcer apologized that the broadcast was over due to communication issues. He said he would keep me informed on the news.

When the footage stopped at Climax, people looked dejected.

The rumbling grew.

The three people sitting in the front stood up as if they had nothing to see. vows, dragons, Oberon.

As Oberon passed in front of Kwon Oh Hyun, he squinting at one eye.

“Did I tell you? They're vanquishing them. They'll claim to have beaten the monsters without a single loss tomorrow, but they're all lies. ”

Kwon Oh Hyun shook his eyes. Joy comes to mind that perhaps his investment choices were right.

You hear Oberon's muttering.

“What is this show? With someone I can destroy by myself.... ”

The murmurs of the vows, the contents of the call, and Oberon's voice come together. What they meant was one.

Kwon Oh Hyun bent his upper body so that his knee touched his chest. He closed his eyes.

A few moments later, a fist clenched so strongly that the blood vessels burst into flames.

“Yee-etsu!!! ”
