Chapter 332 – [The Last Day on Earth]

Baekli’s ominous feeling upon arriving in China gave him goosebumps.

It wasn’t like the raff energy emitted by red species, but something thicker and darker.

Hideous and disgusting The energy felt beyond the outward appearance of the enemy species was rather better felt by Baekri. It was not a matter of simple feeling, but rather a matter of temperament.

“This…….”

“Did you feel it too?”

“And Hibiki?”

“Yeah, it doesn’t look like a real joke. Besides, what’s in China is different than what’s shown in America.”

Currently, there are three bases for hostile species that have appeared on Earth.

Russia, China, and the only three bases that appeared in the United States could not be dealt with despite the fact that several days had passed since they appeared.

No, at least the strongholds of Russia and China belonged to the better side. Because there was damage in the past, the resources necessary for expansion, namely humans, were lacking, and the speed of expansion, fortunately or unfortunately, was less than that of the United States.

The size of the red species production base that has appeared in Beijing is at most a radius of several tens of kilometers. Of course, it was the size including the energy field surrounding the stronghold.

“We couldn’t cope with a civil war in China where there was no dragon sister. It would have been a bigger problem if we hadn’t come.”

“First……”

“I’ll have to meet the military power here first. Then I’ll somehow ask for cooperation and do that.”

It is true that the expansion of the territory was slow due to the lack of human beings, but that was because the worst went bad in Beijing and evacuated to the outside world.

It was obvious that the speed of expansion would increase rapidly if the area widened and started moving beyond the Beijing area.

If you go there, it’s the worst case. At least for now, we had to go over to the US again after destroying the strongholds in China and Russia. The current situation was not yet approaching, but it was a crisis for the entire human race.

“Are you in the military?”

“I don’t think we’re good at everything. If it’s not something unusual like you, we need fire support. Even if it means making sacrifices.”

“………”

“Well, leave this kind of work to me. It’s an adult’s job.”

If there’s one thing Baekli is better than Hibiki, it’s brute force. His power as a Transcendentalist easily surpasses even Hibiki, who is at the top rank among Master users.

But on the other hand, there is no one hundred li ahead of him except by force.

Although he likes to use his body, Hibiki is no fool. He has been fighting enemy species since the Great Depression until now, and he couldn’t have been treated like a master user from the beginning. At first, he started as a force user who protected a small village and came up to this point.

After a while, a military figure came to meet me. Because present-day China is divided, those in power are usually the ones who lead the military.

“Hmmmm, nice to meet you. This is Zhang Wei Middle School.”

“Ah, I heard the story. Let’s move first. Isn’t it busy at 1:00?”

Junggyo (中校) was a position located at the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Korean military. It’s not low, but the fact that he was using such a person as an errand boy meant that the person above him had that much power.

It is useless in front of the star who was a battalion commander or a regimental commander in ancient times.

Even in a divided China, Beijing is an important strategic point. The worst destroyed half of Beijing, but just having the other half made it possible to get an edge over others.

It is not for nothing that it was the former capital of China. As much as it has been invested and developed, and there is also a traditional and appropriate justification for taking over the previous regime.

On the surface, of course, that’s not possible. I don’t know if the worst will come if I openly talk about taking over the Chinese government.

Even at the point where you don’t know that you can’t use your hands freely even if you’re mad.

“Do you have any other data? If so, I’d like to get two copies.”

“Ah, I’ve prepared it in advance. We’re going to give a briefing at the headquarters too, so you can read it slowly while you’re on the way.”

I received and read the materials provided by Zhang Wei Middle School.

The red species production base that has now appeared in Beijing was covered with a dome-shaped energy film. It does not block physical access, but it is said that contact and access for a long time is impossible for the general public without special protective clothing or special treatment, and it is said that it mainly dies and mutates into an enemy species with a rare probability.

Moreover, it does not block people, but on the contrary, it blocks attacks. Despite the fact that hundreds of tanks already camped in front of the dome fired non-stop, it was a waste of shells without a sign of fading.

“Is this……Raff Energy?”

“It’s not Raph energy. Maybe this is what we felt.”

It’s not raff energy, but something much darker. It’s a different energy.

At worst, he would have told me that it was a special ability called ‘Magno Reton’ that he had heard about from Dr. Alien.

The red species is a power created by diluting the magno reton used by the inhabitants of the Tiv civilization. Because the efficiency and purity are different, the person who uses it directly cannot compare it with the enemy species.

“It’s thicker, so the effect is stronger. There’s a high probability that a physical attack won’t work just because it’s a nuclear bomb.”

“Well…….”

“Besides, aside from whether we can use a nuclear bomb right now.”

“Yes?”

Hibiki glanced at Zhang Wei Middle School. However, he exercised his right to remain silent with an expressionless face.

A nuclear weapon comparable to the modern Joker. Even a puppet state like North Korea (now gone) threatens neighboring countries with nuclear weapons, and there is no country like China.

China has nuclear weapons, but not now. To be precise, it was impossible to ascertain who and how many nuclear bombs were in the midst of being torn apart by civil war. Even if there is, it cannot be announced. Because it will be attacked by the coalition of other countries in civil war.

Thanks to this, even if we can use nuclear weapons, we are in a situation where we cannot use them. And nuclear is always a last resort, a last resort.

“Do red species appear outside the dome?”

“Yes, a unique type of hostile species that was different from before was emerging.”

If the enemy species so far were created with malice to kill and frighten humans, the enemy species born at the production base of the enemy species took an extremely monotonous form.

Simply put, it is faithful to its function. Their purpose is not to kill humans as usual, but to expand their base more quickly and prepare for future invasions.

“The enemy species that appear outside the dome undergo force fusion, but they do not occur inside the dome…”

The dome surrounding the base blocks even the Gaia Force. That’s why what was the only advantage for a Force user to deal with an enemy species is useless within it.

“It’s a pain in the ass”

In a word, that was it.

Physical attacks are impossible, do not work, and have low efficiency. Even if they try to break in, information is lacking, and even a team made up of Force users won’t last long.

Baekli, who was reading the material, asked at Zhangwei Middle School.

“What if you use firearms inside the dome instead of outside?”

“The same is true for the inside of the dome. It has a power reduction effect of at least 30% to 50%. Moreover, the reduction rate increases as you move toward the center.”

“Well…….”

In the first place, the inside of the dome was the enemy camp. I thought it would not be easy to attack, but as I figured out the situation, there was no answer.

“But the angles come out roughly. There’s no way we can just keep a dome like this.”

It was, after all, a ‘base’. As long as it was a base, there was no way the center wouldn’t exist.

In the United States, one of the five apostles, Gar-Rekal, existed, but not the other strongholds. If you manage to break in and get to the center and destroy it, the dome will disappear.

After that it’s easy. If you pour out firepower, no matter how hostile it is, you will have no choice but to die. In the end, it’s just a matter of time and money, and it can be solved.

“It would be nice if we could recruit another master user, but time is a problem…”

Hibiki muttered and grumbled.

It still occupies an area of ​​tens of kilometers at most, so I think I can cope with it now, but the more prepared I am, the better.

The current master users were reduced from eight to seven. At least, the number of master users or higher was only eight, filling the position of Yong Ha-yeon, who was missing Baek-ri, but rather, there was no change.

The only master users who could afford it were [Saladin] In Turkey and [Knight Gawain] In England. Australia’s [Sonic] Is busy just dealing with the original species, and the United States and Russia are nothing to look forward to, so in the end, there are only two things to solve, Baekri and Hibiki.

“This is a bit ominous…”

Hibiki clicked his tongue like that.

*        *    *

Liu Xiang, commander of the 27th Army Corps and second-class officer in the Beijing Military Region of the Central Front, the former government army that now occupies Beijing, was a lucky man.

It is unlucky to have reached the current situation, but the reason he did not die because he was accused of being a Communist was because he declared the worst before he took power as a politician, not as a soldier, so people’s attention was turned away.

In the first place, I did not act from the position of a Communist Party member, so there is nothing to blame. Furthermore, as he was the commander of the army in charge of the central theater to which Beijing’s territory belongs, it was not difficult for him to occupy Beijing afterwards.

At least until the base of the enemy species appeared.

If left alone, at least he would have occupied a unique position in divided China, but in the current situation, he is just a human being who can’t do anything. But even so, the lucky thing is that Baekri and Hibiki came to help them.

“This is Ryu-san’s second-class certificate. Nice to meet you, Hiei-san and Baekri-san.”

“Ah, yes”

“Hello”

“I feel grateful to Mr. Baekri in many ways.

Baekli was treated as a hero in China. First of all, it is because it is Baekri that has prevented the worst runaway.

But even so, that didn’t change the situation. Joy was joy, reality was reality.

“There are a lot of problems, but if you want to solve them as quickly as possible, you’ll have to prepare for the infiltration operation with the elite. I don’t see any other way than that.”

In the first place, if the opponent’s stronghold exists, it boasts a terrible technology that does not even eat a nuclear bomb.

If that’s the case, you’d have to destroy that base first. To do that, there was no other way than to infiltrate with a small number of elites, destroy the opponent’s base with bombs or something else, and then crush it with firepower.

Hibiki also knew that, so he suggested it. It is the judgment of an experienced person who is difficult to understand as a hundred li.

“I will organize the troops after requesting cooperation as much as possible.

“Thank you”

With Uiwa, the story with Liu Sang 2nd grade did not last long, because he knows the importance of his own time as much as he has been alive.

Baekri and Hibiki were guided to a separate room and decided to rest. As the location is the location, the treatment is also different.

“By the way, if it’s a second-class certificate… Even if you can’t do it, it’s like the chief of staff, but you do it in plain language?”

“Didn’t you know? Originally, master users basically treat any country with a rank of about three or four stars. And considering the rarity, it’s higher than that.”

“Okay?!”

“Because that kind of privilege is not known. Even if my homeland, Japan, was destroyed, the name Master User would not just exist.”

Even if they were simply exiled Japanese, their rights had to be guaranteed as before because of the nature of master users, where the strength of the body was important.

That’s why Hibiki was able to defect to Korea with his girlfriend… No, she, who is now her wife. I should have been treated like that, but on the contrary, I would have been able to get more effects than that.

Even if Yong Ha-yeon had not left, Korea would have been able to obtain the unprecedented title of a country with three master users along with Yong Ha-yeon, Hibiki, and Baek Ri. Even if Baekli wasn’t a master user.

“No matter how strong you are, you’re still a child. If you don’t know these things, I think I’ll have to drag you by the collar.”

“That’s true, but… Honestly, even if I think about it, I’m not good enough.”

Hibiki sighed. Baekli is stronger than him, but on the contrary, he is lacking. From the basic to the experiential.

If Hibiki had the same strength as Baekri, things wouldn’t have gone this far. After the bases of China and Russia were created, they would have headed there and dealt with them within a day or two. In that case he could have handled it more easily.

“The reason I went into exile in Korea was not because it was a nearby country, but because there were many Japanese citizens who defected to Korea.”

As for other countries, there was a reason Korea accepted refugees because North Korea was destroyed and needed human resources to develop.

If Japan were destroyed, who would take care of those who lost their homeland that would arise from it? In fact, Hibiki was no different from sacrificing for them.

No matter how devastated it is in North Korea, harvesting refugees from Japan is a matter of accepting the disadvantages. Part of the reason the Korean government accepted that was because of Hibiki’s treatment.

“You don’t know, but remember that our values ​​are above society. I made this choice for that reason… No matter how frustrated you are, you can’t forget that.”

There were only eight master users, and now there are seven and only one hundred li above them.

No one can deny it because it has no choice but to have that value. Even those who had a negative view of accepting Japanese refugees had no choice but to think differently about Hibiki.

“Yes…….”

“Well, no matter how much I talk about it, is it my problem to understand it? I don’t think I can come to my senses until I get a big shock.

Even during the Great Depression, the maximum number of master user unions was up to three. Of course, in fact, looking at the level and evaluation at the time, there were only two people at the maximum.

It is the same now. No, even considering the title of Grand Master, it was higher than that.

“I have a foreboding feeling about this time. It’s different from usual.”

One of Tib’s five apostles, Hibiki was feeling that way while dealing with a base that didn’t even have Gar-Rekal.

It was only then that Baek-ri felt an ominous feeling.
