Chapter 1880 – 1880. Eternal Eden
It was a disgusting smell that welcomed me as soon as I entered the building that had become a nest of spiders. Should I say it’s a musty smell? It was a smell that seemed to stick to the windpipe. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like poisonous smoke, but if you sniff this smell for a long time, you’ll get a headache.
“Do what you trained for. Stay in line.”
Koo Tae-hee commanded his subordinates in an emotionless manner. His men accepted the order and watched their ranks. The guys in plate armor were standing close to each other, so it looked solid like a barrier.
On the other hand, when I saw the security team, I sighed. It was in a row and there was no Nabal. They looked like idiots with guns. At least, Park Hae-gil and his subordinates, former PS security guards, were well positioned. Holding an assault rifle, he slightly bent his upper body and took a guarded posture. A career in special forces is not a form.
“Who will be in the lead?”
Goo Tae-hee asked me. The look in his eyes made me want to be in the lead. I hate having a gun pointed at the back of my head, but I can’t help it. Because it was reasonable for me to stand in front.
“I stand. Security team, follow me immediately. Taewang. You are behind.”
The reason Taewang was pulled back was to check the power of the security team. Equipment was generously provided. In particular, a certain degree of privilege was allowed. If you want to keep your privilege, you have to pay for it.
“Mr. Eugene. Is there no such thing as a strategy?”
Park Hae-gil asked me. He injured his right hand and held a gun in his left hand. Funny enough, the most reliable guy in the security team was Park Hae-gil.
“What is the strategy to kill insects? Shoot when you see it. Spiders’ weakness is… Well, how will you live if your head becomes a beehive? These guys are not zombies.”
“All right. I’ll aim for the head first. Did you all hear?”
The security team nods nervously. Guys wearing knives and even bulletproof helmets are scary. I strode forward. The lobby on the first floor was a mess with strange mucus and spider webs, but no monster spiders were seen.
Press the button in front of the elevator.
“… Are you going to take the elevator now?”
Park Hae-gil asks as if he is a bit dumbfounded.
“If you go up the stairs, your legs hurt and it’s hard. The elevator is not convenient. No, fuck But why are you fed up?!”
“That, of course, wouldn’t it be eaten? The situation in this building is such a mess…”
“Elevators can move. Taking everything for granted is a bad habit.”
Drooling.
Suddenly, the elevator door opens. It was a spider that appeared. From the moment the elevator started to open, my hand was drawing a knife. It wasn’t conscious. It is a reflex action that is inscribed in the body.
The hairtail sword shines silver. A monstrous spider aims at me by thrusting its outstretched legs, sharp like spears, between legs that are not fully open.
However, the hairtail sword cut them off. Instead of red blood, the legs spurted grayish mucus.
The spider whose leg was cut off hesitates and counterattacks with the other leg. I also cut off that leg with ease. It’s not like dealing with a monster once or twice, maybe it’s barely this much.
“What are you doing, you assholes? Pull the trigger.”
Fight, fight, fight!
The assault rifles of Park Hae-gil and other security team members fire. The monster was shot in the head by dozens of bullets and died instantly. Thud! The monster spider’s body fell down the elevator shaft.
“Did you see it? No big deal. Go for the head.”
“… The spider is too big to be a big deal. I still hate spiders… I hated it even more.”
Park Hae-gil sighed and said. I watched the reactions of the other members of the security team. Most of them were nervous, but none of them sat down in fear or fell into a panic. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to the zombie avalanche to some extent.
“Mr. Eugene. I’ll have to make a group. There were a lot of wasted bullets just now. There are a total of 30 security teams, so 3 each… No, for safety’s sake, it would be better to form six groups of five.”
“Do it.”
Park Hae-gil simply tied Joe on the spot and divided the directions to be vigilant.
“If you see a spider, shoot it right away. As we saw earlier, unlike zombies, their head is their weak point. If you mess with his head, he will die instantly.”
“Yes. Manager.”
The basic system seemed to have been caught. I headed for the stairs, followed by security.
Stairs going down and stairs going up.
‘I’m sure it’s in the basement… Judging from the fact that the baby spider was ambushing the elevator earlier, it means that it is intelligent enough to set a trap.’
Among the monsters in reality, there were those who sold traps. They are not the ones who sell traps because they are intelligent. They are the ones who do annoying things based on instinct. Why, aren’t there people called ant hell? Those whose habits are a trap. Those who know but are annoying to deal with.
‘These bastards are out of habit. At least the queen spider knows how to use her head. When she goes down to the basement, she blocks the doorway and doesn’t know what she’s going to do.’
Having made up my mind, I headed up.
“Are you going to kill the queen spider right away?”
Koo Tae-hee asked. I turned behind her and looked at her. She holds a mace in one hand and a pistol in the other, and her only right eye shines brightly.
“Killing the head first makes things easier.”
“If I were the queen, I would order an ambush for her men and wait for you to come up.”
“… Do you have any good ideas?”
“You just have to go upstairs by tidying up. It’s to get rid of the reinforcements he can call in when he needs it. We might be able to secure an escape route.”
“What about the guys in the basement? You don’t mean to go downstairs, do you?”
“There are things I brought with me. It’s cremo I’m going to install this on the basement stairs. Spiders will taste hell when they come up. It’s not enough firepower to knock down a building, so you can ignore the aftermath.”
“You’re not going to clear out the guys underground with a few mines, are you? That’s a little disappointing.”
“There is also poison gas. It’s a special gas that is laid low, so there’s no way to rise above it. You can roughly block the entrance with rolling furniture.”
“How did you get your hands on that?”
“…”
Goo Tae-hee did not answer. Was it made by a technologist other than Na Chae-young? No, that possibility has been eliminated. Cremoire and poison gas were enough to be made with modern technology.
‘It must be the army. Because this world Korea seems to have more military power than other world Korea. No, I have already said that Korea possesses nuclear missiles.’
“How long does it take?”
“It will take 10 minutes.”
“Do it faster.”
Koo Tae-hee and his men started working. Their fast-moving work did not get boring just by looking at them.
“… Now I see that they were all soldiers.”
“Korea has a conscription system. It’s common for gangsters from military backgrounds.”
“It is not the proficiency of conscripts. Minimum special forces. They are also those who have experienced it. Where did you get those people from? The more I see Taewang, the more amazing he is.”
Goo Tae-hee’s skills go without saying, but it seemed that the high-ranking official behind Koo Tae-hee poured his energy into it.
‘Is it like a political gangster?’
After 10 minutes, the job was over.
Pop!
Poison gas grenade explodes inside the basement. From the top of the stairs, we looked down into the basement, blocked off by furniture.
“Poison gas. It’s really not going up, right?”
“It is something that has already been verified. After about 4 hours, the toxic ingredients disappear and the residue remains.”
Device device device device device gig!
A strange noise was heard from the basement. Not one or two It was not difficult for me to guess that it was the sound of the monstrous spiders’ seizures.
Goo Tae-hee clicked his tongue briefly.
“It’s more than I thought. Ambushed underground…”
I nodded to the security team.
“What are you doing. That’s a lot. It might come up, so I’m pointing the gun at you. When they come up, don’t ask or ask, just beat them up.”
Bang bang!
The installed cremoir explodes continuously. And he roughly knocks on the underground entrance blocked by the monster spiders that Cremore couldn’t kill. The security team members flinched. It looks like he wants to grind bullets at the entrance right now.
“Don’t waste your bullets. Shoot when you see the head.”
The furniture-blocked entrance collapsed, revealing the scarred head of a monstrous spider. Team members fired bullets. The spider died instantly. After that, several spiders came up, but only died with a bullet in the head.
Soon the spider that came up disappeared and became quiet. We decided to block the entrance with other furniture and go upstairs.
On the second floor, the security team moved cautiously. On the other hand, I walked forward whijeokwhijeok. A spider on the ceiling descends. Before the security team could react, they swung their knives and split the spider in half, killing it. The dead monster spider smelled bad.
“I just noticed these bastards are only hiding in the dark. Be careful in the dark.”
I nodded at the security team.
“What are you doing. Go search and kill the spiderlings. Did you really think that I would always be in front of you? You are the security team. I have enough equipment, so I have to pay for food. Those who can’t afford to pay will be fired from the security team. In action.”
“Me, just between us?”
“Did you not hear me? Are you pretending not to understand?”
“No. We will take care of it.”
Park Hae-gil replied. He skillfully gave instructions to the security team. Commands were short, concise, and intuitive.
Moments later, gunfire rang out.
I waited in the hallway for them to finish tidying up.
“Aaaaagh!”
There was a screamer on the security team. It looks like it was bitten by a spider. I didn’t move. Another group nearby went to support. The one who screamed had blood coming out of his thigh, as if he had been bitten by a spider.
‘5 people wearing armor and carrying guns are moving, but they get hit by spiders? That guy is eliminated.’
Goo Tae-hee came to my side.
“Are you going to just watch?”
“The monster spider is nothing. Even though they’re more annoying than zombies, they’re still bugs. In this case, you need to accumulate practical experience. I have to conserve my stamina as much as possible. You hired me because of the spider queen.”
“… Right. The queen spider is the most annoying. Note that there is very little information about the queen spider.”
The continued gunfire soon ceased.
“Let’s go up to the next floor.”
