Chapter 2404 – 2404. Eternal Eden

There are a total of 5 boats. Up to 6 people can ride, but we rode in groups of 3. Of course, I had no intention of rowing from here to Tsushima Island.

Of course, the boat had a motor. Average speed is 30 knots. If all goes according to plan, we will arrive at our destination, Tsushima Island, before the sun rises.

I got on the boat with Hyejin Choi and Irina. We confirm that other SS troops also boarded the boat. Of course, I had my combat equipment with me.

Before leaving, I looked back at the SS. Because he was wearing a combat helmet, his face was not visible. However, even though he was nervous, there was no sign of fear. They have been trained through several deaths. Even death cannot break their faith. They are the elite of the elite.

“Of course you know, but even the sea is not safe. Marine animals also mutate. It’s actually more dangerous because it’s the sea. That is why trade using the sea route is currently blocked.”

Land, sea, air. The most dangerous of these is the sea. Next is land. Sky was the safest of the three. Of course, there were flying mutants, but none were fast enough to keep up with the speed of an airplane. Not yet.

The sea is dangerous, but it’s okay as long as you don’t go far from land. Because dangerous mutants don’t like being near land.

The motor turns and the boat moves forward. The direction indicator on the combat helmet’s HUD is well-marked, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost.

“This helmet is so stuffy that I’m dying. Can’t I take it off?”

Hyejin Choi tapped her combat helmet and asked.

“Stay writing. If your identity is discovered, you will be screwed. And there is also a radar effect. “You have to wear a combat helmet to immediately spot mutants that are approaching.”

Unfortunately, because this boat was built in a hurry, its durability was not very good. If you’re unlucky, you could be shattered by the mutant’s attack.

“Your Holiness.”

Son Tae-hyung, the commander of the Holy SS, called me. He originally called me Seongnim, but he couldn’t get used to it no matter how many times I heard him, so I ordered him to call me Seongha.

“Say it.”

“Radar detected two variants. The size is approximately 3 m. Expect to encounter it in about 22 seconds. Can I handle it?”

“Deal with it.”

“Honorary name.”

Son Tae-hyung immediately gave instructions to his subordinates.

“Park Hyuk-woon, Ki Min-saeng. You two take out the approaching mutants with the harpoons equipped on the boat.”

“Honorary name.”

“Honorary name.”

I don’t know why they say it’s a name. Suddenly, I saw it was like that. I thought so because there was nothing bad about it. It was a little bit, but I liked it.

Of course, the mutant rushed from underneath the boat, from the depths of the sea. However, in preparation for this, a harpoon is equipped at the bottom of the boat. The SS member touches the control stick and fires the harpoon.

“It’s a hit.”

“It’s a hit here too.”

It was that moment. It shone in the sea near the boat and illuminated the surroundings. It was the effect of a harpoon. The moment it hits, it discharges electricity and kills the opponent. The fish nearby also died in droves, but the effect was clear.

“Check the battery.”

“Check battery. “30% of power was consumed.”

“40 spare batteries. “No problem.”

The boat continued heading south.

The mutants continued to attack as if they never got tired of it. It happened 4 to 5 times an hour. It was fortunate that there were no variants that were difficult to handle.

However, it was not a complete victory. Even though the SS was the elite of the elite, it had physical limitations. Moreover, this was on the sea, not on land.

Slam!

A stingray jumped out. It wasn’t just a stingray. It was a mutant with three poisonous needles and wings that were as hard and sharp as blades. A stingray attacked one of the SS. The SS extended its left arm.

Kwaduk!

The SS’s left arm was chewed by a stingray. The bulletproof, bullet-proof combat suit was torn apart with ridiculous ease, shattering my left arm.

Without even a single groan, the SS took out a pistol with his right hand, put the muzzle of the gun against the stingray, and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang!

A dead mutant stingray splashed into the sea. The SS officer who killed the stingray stumbled and fell straight onto the boat. Another SS member nearby checked on him and reported calmly.

“Holy Guard member Park Hyeok-un has passed away. It appears to be a heart attack caused by poison.”

It appears that not only the mutant stingray’s tail, but also its teeth were poisonous.

Taehyung Son bowed his head to me.

“Sorry. His Holiness. “The lack of guards disappointed His Holiness.”

“Although I was disappointed to only be attacked by a stingray… “I like the fact that he didn’t scream even before he died.”

The combat power wasn’t bad either.

I went over to the boat where the dead were and recovered the SS member. As a bonus, a broken battle suit.

The Holy Guard are undying soldiers that I can use. I promised them immortality. That promise is the source of their faith. If you leave a corpse here for dead, your faith will be shaken.

A dead and resurrected SS member knelt in front of me and bowed his head. His hands were clasped together as if praying.

“Thank you for the grace bestowed upon you by His Holiness.”

“Okay. Let’s do well.”

Arrived near Tsushima Island. We turned off the motor and rested quietly. At the same time, check the operation plan one more time. Leading the briefing is Na Chae-young from Seongak Elementary School. Her voice is heard through her battle helmet.

-Tsushima’s defense system is focused on anti-aircraft. Landing by sea wouldn’t be difficult. The problem is next. At least 300 armed soldiers and artificial mutants will do their best to kill the invaders.

We waited silently for the next words.

-As soon as we land on Tsushima Island, activate the communication jammer. It will confuse enemies for about an hour. As a bonus, you will not be able to contact the mainland. Well, even if we could contact you, we wouldn’t be able to get there right away since we’re so far away.

“Afterward, the Holy SS deliberately goes on a rampage to attract attention, and we infiltrate deep into the secret lab and take Yoo Seo-jeong and her daughter out. Then take a boat and enter Busan. Right?”

-That’s right. Even if Tsushima is in trouble, Japan will not be able to protest openly. Because it was a laboratory where human experiments were conducted. Rather, they’ll probably try to hide it somehow?

“Can’t we expose what happened here later?”

-Ilwoo Group will take a hit. But it’s not a real blow. All you have to do is abandon the name Ilwoo and do the same thing under a different name. Even if you apologize, it’s only then. In the future, we will conduct human experiments more carefully.

Japan cannot abandon Ilwoo Group. It would not be strange to say that the Japanese government and Ilwoo Group are now of one mind. Japan considers Ilwoo Group to be its future. The Ilwoo Group has a Korean name, but Japanese blood flows through its body. This is what I learned while torturing Jin Chung-hyeon.

-And it’s not good to start an all-out war with Japan. Unlike the Signals incident, it cannot be disclosed anonymously. Did you understand? What I mean is, leave as little trace as possible. As a bonus, I also take good care of my body.

“Body care? No matter how much I do, I don’t have sex right here.”

-I don’t mean that, but body fragments or blood… Don’t leave any genes behind. Your opponent can use your genes to create clones. Of course, creating a clone would require at least several years of research… It’s best not to give any room from the beginning.

“Hmm. Well, I’ll try my best.”

Honestly, I don’t think that a human clone of me is the same as me. Would it be possible to replicate my ability to play by cloning myself? If it were that easy, Yog-Sothoth wouldn’t have committed suicide.

‘Even if he clones me, he is different from me. He’s just a different guy with the same genes as me.’

Still, cloning myself was unpleasant.

Afterward, I took a break while listening to Na Chae-young’s nagging.

“Rest is over. “Operation begins.”

She said, activating the Tongxing jammer.

The 12 SS members moved in groups of 3. The SS began rampaging near the main gate of the secret laboratory.

Me, Hyejin Choi, and Irina quietly headed toward a private house. I went into the kitchen of a closed ramen shop. As I moved the refrigerator aside, I saw the stairs leading down to the basement. It was a secret passage leading to a secret laboratory.

“I will move first.”

As planned, Irina went down the aisle first. Her stealth is specialized for her intrusions.

In the meantime, if you focus on how to hide your presence and decide to hide your presence, it will be difficult for you to find it. Of course, this is limited to cases where electromagnetic waves are not used.

‘I was told not to use electromagnetic waves as much as possible within the secret laboratory.’

Na Chae-young said she might have a machine that can detect electromagnetic waves. Honestly, I wonder if the defense is that bad… There is nothing wrong with being careful.

‘I know the way even without using electromagnetic waves.’

A path appears on the battle screen display.

The destination is the laboratory located at the bottom of this secret laboratory, on the 5th underground floor.

“Yes. It’s quiet. Come down.”

Following Irina’s words, I went down the aisle with Hyejin Choi. We headed to our destination while talking through our combat helmet communicators.

“Two people in front.”

Irina said in a whisper. Since she was wearing a combat helmet, her voice could not be heard.

As she said, two soldiers were standing there holding guns. She wore a combat uniform and a bulletproof hat. In his hand is an assault rifle. The two people frowned and talked over the walkie-talkie.

“What? “I suddenly can’t communicate?”

“So does mine. Is there an error with the equipment? Well, we can deal with it later. First, let’s wait until the shift staff arrives. “If you leave without permission, your salary will be cut.”

Without me having to step forward, Irina took care of it with the small crossbow on her left hand. Two small arrows shot silently pierced the enemy’s neck.

‘It probably wasn’t powerful enough to penetrate originally… Has your ability been corrected?’

Irina’s ability, Shrine. Ability to receive corrections to her bow handling abilities. Small crossbows are no exception.

“Oh, you look pretty, blonde?”

Choi Hye-jin, who was watching from her side, was impressed.

“Please call me Irina.”

“What? “What’s wrong with calling a blonde?”

“Oh that… Yes.”

Irina caught Choi Hye-jin’s attention. Choi Hye-jin waved the metal bat in the air. With her battle-mad temperament, she seems to be itching to get her hands on it.

“There is no time to stop. Let’s keep going.”

I urged them on and headed forward.

Thanks to Irina, I was able to come down to the 3rd basement level comfortably.

Aaeaeaeaeaeaeae!

When I got halfway to the third floor, the siren sounded.

We weren’t caught. We became aware of the situation on the ground, which had been unknown due to the communication jammer. A loud voice rings out from somewhere.

“Everyone listens! The radio is not working, so let me know by voice! There is an intruder on the ground! A secret laboratory is under attack! Enemies are in platoon units! Judging by his equipment, he is presumed to be a special forces member of some force! Everyone, except the guards in charge of the area, go up to the ground and respond!”

Irina, who was walking ahead, looked back at me. I couldn’t see her face because of her battle helmet, but she must have been looking embarrassed.

“Yu, Eugene. What should I do?”

“You just have to be careful. “They don’t know we exist yet.”

As soon as the words are finished, a loud voice rings out.

“We found a body! Enemies have already invaded here! The control room is checking for intruders through CCTV! The enemy is presumed to be an awakened person, so stay alert and do not leave your area! The interior defense system will be activated soon!”

I left the body behind on the way here, but it looks like I got caught.

Secretly infiltrating is a thing of the past.

“Run. Now it’s a quick decision.”

I ran from the front.
