Boom!

On the one hand, while mutant Cha Jun Sung was full of thoughts of Park Jin Hyuk’s group, another Cha Jun Sung was crossing through the Amazon’s jungle.

It really is vast. It is a tremendous area over 70 times the size of Korea. He doesn’t see an end to it because he has to search it without gear.

This is the same even when flying in the sky. Turning off the booster and going on foot can’t even be imagined. He would need to wander around until he dies.

Cha Jun Sung landed on a small plot of land on one side of the jungle in order to save his battlesuit’s energy. It is an area with a lot of water. It is the Amazon River.

“It’s uncomfortable.”

If Cha Jun Sung’s battlesuit energy went below 50%, he stayed in one place until it reached 100%. He didn’t move around for no reason.

He is out of charging devices, so he needs to rely on solar power. That is why nighttime is most dangerous. Moonlight charging rate is the worst.

Small mutants don’t matter, but he can’t come out unscathed if he runs into a level 8. That’s why he was as careful as possible at night.

The total amount of energy in a level S battlesuit is vast, but it isn’t infinite. That’s why it depletes easily once he starts using it. It takes quite some time to fully charge with solar power, which is natural energy.

Cha Jun Sung opened up the solar panel, halted his battlesuit’s functions, and laid on the ground. Since it is mechanical armor, it is like a rock.

Boom!

A sound from right next to him.

Cha Jun Sung turned his head while lying down.

Something wobbles and crawls toward him from far away. It is obviously a mutant.

It is twice the size of a large truck. It looks like a crocodile but much more bizarre. With sharp bumps all over its body, it is level 6 Awl Armor Crocodile. The Awl Armor Crocodile didn’t notice Cha Jun Sung, and passed by him. It was only a few meters away. It was a narrow margin, but he wasn’t nervous or anything like that.

Whether it is injured or tired, it plops down without getting too far. Because of that, muddy water is pushed by the large mass and covers Cha Jun Sung’s battlesuit.

Cha Jun Sung sat up. The Awl Armor Crocodile looks at him.

But that is it. It just breathes.

“Odin. Scan it.”

Zing!

Odin scans the Awl Armor Crocodile’s entire body.

It was easy because it didn’t move. Its form comes up on the battlesuit’s hologram.

“It’s injury was penetration. Something pierced its side. Is it an automatic cannon?”

It would have quickly regenerated if its skin had been pierced, but its organs were affected. It might be difficult, but it won’t die with a level 6’s ability to regenerate.

[It sustained this injury within the last hour. There must be Lifers nearby.]

It seems to have somehow gotten away from Lifers. Cha Jun Sung lost interest and went back to his spot. There’s no need to get blood on his hands.

He’ll have already left this place once the Awl Armor Crocodile recovered and became active again. It is bothersome to kill it and he won’t get points anyway.

“Should I just pretend to be crazy and beg?”

If they are at the 10 year point, charging devices will be super cheap. If he meets parties with devices, they throw him one or two out of pity.

[That’s a good idea too if you’re trying to get out of the Amazon. You’ll get supplies and get out of a dangerous zone. Do you want to try it?]

“Nah.”

Cha Jun Sung went back to what he was doing. He‘ll just keep going without it.

Bang bang bang bang!

An explosion of a large scale battle with Lifers. The Awl Armor Crocodile forced itself up in order to run away.

Cha Jun Sung woke up as well.

[I have gotten an idea of how many Lifers there are by the explosions. This kind of sound means it’s a raid unit. They could be fighting with a level 7.] [They are estimated to be 9 to 10km away. What do you want to do? Will you go?]

Cha Jun Sung thought about whether he should go or not. The battle continued.

“Fine.”

Cha Jun Sung threw his body. He didn’t fly, but moved by land. 9 to 10km is a distance that he can go within 5 minutes while running.

But the explosions decreased as he got closer. It seemed the battle was coming to an end. What bothered him however was not the decreasing sound of explosions.

“Ack!”

“Ack!”

Lifers screaming. A raid means level B. If it is this fierce, they could be in the middle of advancement. They are fighting a level 7.

‘It’s over.]

There is no more screaming. Cha Jun Sung felt the 5 minutes to be very long. And after 5 minutes, he arrived at the place of battle.

What greeted him was hundreds of bodies ripped apart. He watched the battlefield from afar with just his head sticking out.

[It was one-sided.]

It looked like 3 or 4 forces. It wasn’t a raid, but it wasn’t a weak amount of power. Combining the time that he thought about coming and the time it took for him to get here, it didn’t even add up to 20 minutes.

Even a level 7 wouldn’t be able to get rid of hundreds of Lifers this quickly.

[There’s no trace of mutants.]

“I guess that’s possible if they weren’t injured.”

[It would be best for us to get away.]

There is a lot of meaning in Odin’s words.

Cha Jun Sung understood and prepared to get away. It isn’t good. It seems to be stronger than level 7.

“What are you?”

A whisper from behind.

Cha Jun Sung pulled out Hades as he turned around. He wasn’t able to show force because he did it so quickly, but it was enough to kill a level 7 with one blow.

Hades split everything diagonally in a vacuum wave. And he turned his booster on to soar into the sky without looking back.

The language that came through the translator was English. A speaking creature. It must be level 8 to speak so fluently. There’s no good in colliding with it.

Cha Jun Sung stopped while soaring. He looked down and saw tentacles shining like blades wrapped around his ankle. To catch him in that short period of time.

It looks like he’s been properly caught.

Evil Queen isn’t fighting World Federation because she wants to. They have their headquarters somewhere in the Amazon and are blocking her path.

From their actions, it seems they’re looking for something.

She just went past it the first few times because she didn’t have the time to mind them, but she thought that she would have to catch a few and ask what their goal is. It may not be easy because they’re not uselessly weak, but it’s entirely possible if she wants to do it.

She doesn’t need to go looking for them on purpose.

The Lifers’ active radius is extremely wide. They are spread out everywhere in the vicinity. There are so many of them that she is bound to run into them while making her way along her path.

Then, she discovered an appropriate one. He moved secretly. She felt him and still wasn’t sure. She almost passed by him.

Evil Queen strokes his cheek with a finger. Blood flows from his cheek. Blood gets on the finger. The wound isn’t deep, so it regenerates quickly. Evil Queen rubs the blood. The wound formed so quickly that he didn’t realize it had formed until several seconds after. It is an interesting phenomenon.

The tentacle pulled taught, Cha Jun Sung brandished Hades.

It would have been good if he cut it in one blow, but he ruined it by only cutting through about half.

Rather than being sturdy, it was tough. Like a wet towel. He hadn’t been able to show full cutting force because he had been flailing.

He tried to cut through the rest with Hades’ booster, but of course Evil Queen won’t just sit back and watch. She wouldn’t have caught him in the first place if she was going to let him go.

Cha Jun Sung gets sucked down. The pulling strength is greater than the booster’s output. The distance between him and the ground narrowed rapidly.

Boom boom boom!

Right before collision.

The booster on his back changed direction and lifted his body into the air.

Evil Queen however, had achieved her goal. As soon as Cha Jun Sung got close to the ground, she ran at him as if this were her chance. She meant to suppress him before he tried to fly away.

Ordinary Lifers were unable to avoid even one of her attacks. She hadn’t needed to worry about them running away, but this opponent is different.

Leaving the arm wrapped around Cha Jun Sung’s ankle, Evil Queen’s other arm divides into hundreds of arms. It looked like strands of hair attached to her shoulder.

Boom boom boom!

Cha Jun Sung raises his battlesuit’s output. Overbooster becomes Overmode and multiplies the battlesuit’s ability.

Hades receives that power and cuts the tentacle on his ankle.

Cha Jun Sung didn’t stab vertically and horizontally. He restrained Evil Queen with diagonal cuts. He had put some thought into this. Stabbing won’t have an impact, and she could come with it when he recovers Hades. It is an attack that prevents counterattacks.

But with cutting, attacks are continuous once you start to move. That is why he is able to restrain the enemy’s approach beforehand.

The tentacles coalesce and block Hades. It is on the brink of being cut, but it withstood it and regenerated as soon as it pushed Hades.

“You left a wound on me?”

Evil Queen resigned from the fierce restrain.

She touches her tentacles. There are still remnants of where she had been cut. An amount of force that could cut through her skin. It is impressive.

“Don’t show me your back. You’ll die.”

Evil Queen showed a beautiful smile.

Cha Jun Sung focused without saying anything. It is an annoying situation, but she is right. He failed in a surprise escape. He would have thought of different methods if he had been in a prepared state. But he can’t think of anything right now.

‘Let’s just fight for now.’
