Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 389
[Amkena Side Story Episode 9]
* * *
The next day, a district in Seoul.
The streets, which were always crowded with passers-by and cars during the day, are empty.
Sirens rang incessantly between the cars parked randomly all over the road and the sidewalks of the shopping mall with the lights off.
Why! Why!
A peaceful Seoul citizen would never have heard of it.
It was an evacuation warning.
Mixed with the sound of the siren, an announcer’s voice rang out.
[Urgent Live! A terrorist in the middle of Seoul?!]
[I still can’t believe it. Terrorists are rampaging in the center of Korea. Could this be? Citizens are still questioning the authenticity.]
The news is playing on a large TV on display at an electronics store counter. All the TVs next to it were broadcasting the same news.
In a darkened store, only the TV is broadcasting emergency news with the lights on.
And that’s not all.
The same news was broadcast wherever video could be shown, such as billboards on building rooftops and panel billboards at bus stops.
[And biochemical terrorism? It is said that just detonating this bomb spreads toxic gas over 10 km in the vicinity. Is this news really true?]
The announcer in the news stared at the man next to him with a stiff face.
The guest next to him was a middle-aged man who gave off the impression of an expert at first glance.
The expert man said seriously.
[I don’t believe it, but it’s very likely true. We have been too ignorant of the threat of terrorism. Sudden biochemical terrorism. It’s quite possible.]
[I see. ‘It’s quite possible.’]
The announcer nodded.
Yes.
Biochemical terrorism in the middle of Seoul.
Although the odds were extremely low, it wasn’t completely impossible.
Therefore, an emergency evacuation warning was issued last night under the leadership of the government.
Citizens near the danger zone evacuated the zone throughout the night and early morning.
And a heavy barricade was set up near the danger zone.
The net was spread to catch the terrorist hiding inside.
[Citizens, if you see any of the people below, please make an emergency report to the police. The list of terrorists is released.]
Exotic faces were revealed under the screen.
five each.
They are said to have bombs containing an unknown chemical and entered Seoul, South Korea with very sinister intentions.
[They are also taking a citizen hostage and threatening his life. They are very dangerous.]
[That’s right. You have to catch it as soon as possible.]
An announcer and an expert are having a discussion.
An empty midday street.
A male high school student who was watching the news in an alley was sarcastically.
“Biochemical terrorism?”
The poor-looking boy laughs with his back against the back alley wall.
“He’s doing X-Ral.”
Doesn’t it make sense?
Biochemical terrorism in this city.
What is an unknown chemical bomb?
“What? Are you hypnotized?”
situation that makes no sense.
However, the moment that ‘news’ was broadcast, people nearby were busy evacuating in fear as if the news was true.
despite the fact that there is no clear evidence.
“That’s not even a regular broadcast.”
Wow.
The high school student spat.
It’s not a terrestrial public broadcaster, it’s a channel I’ve never seen before, an announcer I’ve never seen before, and an award-winning self-proclaimed expert.
You believe in the broadcasts that those guys are doing and throw them out?
In the first place, why do you play such garbage broadcasts all over the place?
It seems as if the whole of Seoul has fallen into a strange trap.
According to that news, the police have been dispatched and even the military seems to be on standby.
His friends and family were busy evacuating in a hurry.
If you think about it a little calmly, you will know that it doesn’t make sense.
The only one keeping his cool is himself.
Were they hypnotized as a group?
“I feel dirty.”
I’m not wrong.
Biochemical terrorism is a piece of shit.
After such a period of rebellion, the boy was left alone here.
What is it?
It’s clear that the back is dirty.
It was the moment when a high school boy was about to set foot on the street.
Boo woo woo!
A strong exhaust sound rang out from somewhere.
Then, a pitch-black open car appeared out of nowhere and started speeding down the road.
“…?!”
* * *
Whoops!
The engine screams wildly.
The wind pressure that touches the whole body is strong.
If I hadn’t worn sunglasses, I wouldn’t have been able to see very well.
‘Is this the right way to do it?’
Amkena takes her foot off the accelerator and hits the brake, breaking the steering wheel.
At the same time, the manual gear shift began to rattle.
What a profit!
Black Thunder skidded on the asphalt floor.
“Wow!”
intense inertia.
Nihaku, who was sitting in the back, screamed.
Aaron’s complexion, who was fastening his seat belt next to him, turned blue.
Squeak!
Black Thunder races down an empty road.
However, even though it was a straight course, Black Thunder continued to drift at every opportunity.
said Aaron, turning pale.
“Is it really necessary to move like this?”
“No, I have to do this to build up the booster gauge…”
Cart X Ether is like this.
Anyway, Amkenna can only drive like this.
It was the reason she couldn’t get her driver’s license.
Whoops! Whoa!
Black Thunder runs down the road.
The traffic jam made her worried that she would be able to drive properly, but by the time she started driving the road was clear.
If you pay attention to the cars parked dizzy here and there, you can accelerate coolly.
It was to the point of feeling refreshed.
“But why are the roads like this…?”
“Yes, it is because we are biochemical terrorists!”
“yes?”
“We are gravely dangerous people trying to detonate a rabbit’s foot, an unknown biochemical bomb in the middle of Seoul!”
rabbit feet?
The one from Mission Impossible 3?
“A bio-bomb?”
“It seems to be known that way. It just so happens that our friends are coming to meet us over there!”
Amkena looked in the side mirror.
A group of police cars appeared out of nowhere and were chasing Black Thunder. There were also people on motorcycles next to them.
‘police!’
Something to come has come.
You were prepared for this.
But the problem was not that much.
‘what?’
[Oh, breaking news! The gang of terrorists has finally surfaced. It connects the site.]
At first glance, the image of Amkena and the others running on the road with the signboard of the building is being relayed.
[Live! A chase with terrorists!]
“Terrorists?”
for a moment.
It was the moment she was about to question.
A rider riding a motorcycle from behind took out a black object from his bosom and lifted it.
It was a pistol.
“What is this…!”
bang! Tattang!
Sparks flew from the door next to the driver’s seat.
‘Did you just shoot?’
A group of motorcycles wearing helmets drew their guns in unison.
Amkena’s complexion turned pale.
I somehow imagined the chase, but I couldn’t think of the gunfight.
“Aaaaaaa!”
Amkena let out a shrill scream and bent her upper body.
Even so, the left hand holding the steering wheel and the leg stepping on the accelerator moved busily.
“Haha! Has it finally arrived!”
ping! ping!
Bullet trails pass all over the car.
Nihaku, who was standing in the back seat, smiled and opened the rear storage compartment.
There are various firearms, ammunition and explosives lined up in perfect order. Amkena looked behind her for a moment, and her eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
‘Why is there such a thing in the car?!’
Clap!
Nihaku pulled out two submachine guns and began firing back with both hands.
“Filth is disinfection!”
Ta-ta-tata!
hit.
The rider of the motorcycle approaching right behind him skidded and tumbled onto the road.
“Are you dead?”
“It’s okay!”
“Wherever you look, it’s okay! A person died…!”
Amkena’s mouth fell open.
Smoke rose from the back of the rider’s suit, which fell on the road, and the owner of the suit disappeared without a trace.
It was as if the human inside had disappeared, leaving only the clothes behind.
From the beginning, they were suspicious.
A helmet that covers the entire head and a costume that seems to be tightly wrapped around the body.
They pursue Black Thunder as if they don’t care if one of their comrades rolls around.
‘What is that?’
Are you a person?
acting person?
Fish!
“Hee!”
Amkena recoiled from the bullet that grazed her head.
Riders chasing left and right were firing bullets at Black Thunder.
Tata Tata!
After a while, Nihaku opened both hands and opened fire with a submachine gun, and they collapsed all at once.
bang! Perbung!
There was also a motorcycle that exploded entirely because it was hit somewhere wrong.
but don’t die
no one dies
Instead of blood and flesh, there was only pitch-black smoke rising.
“Whoa!”
Amkena screamed as if she had lost her mind and stepped on the accelerator.
Whoops!
Black Thunder runs through the tunnel at some point.
Why!
Riders and police cars are in fierce pursuit.
“This is what you eat!”
Click!
Nihaku pulled out the safety pin and released a large number of grenades behind him.
bang!
Police cars swept away by the explosion were smashed all at once, scattering shrapnel.
“Hwiyu!”
Nihaku smiled all over his face as if he was refreshing.
“Was it like this? Did I just leave out and play with Master and Yuruni like this?”
“What is this like!”
Of course, there was a chase with the police even then!
It was pretty intense though!
There has never been a scene where they shoot each other and explode like this!
‘what’s this.’
Movies and reality are different.
Amkenna seemed to be losing her mind.
The peaceful daily life passed through my mind.
But even in the middle, the steering wheel, accelerator brake and gears do not stop.
Boooooong!
After exiting the short tunnel, Black Thunder drifted violently and turned to the right.
I vowed not to be surprised anymore, but when I saw it appearing in front of the crossroads in the distance, Amkena let out a silent cry.
‘Could that be… Tank?’
I’ve only seen it in movies and pictures.
The king of modern ground warfare with heavy armor and thick cannons.
Why is that here?
This is Seoul, Korea, right?
Clap!
The long muzzle aims at Black Thunder.
Amkenna lost her reason.
However, apart from that, Black Thunder conducted an evasive maneuver.
What a profit!
The Black Thunder spun half a turn on a four-lane road and turned sideways.
Bang!
Tank fire hit the spot where Black Thunder was.
Strong shockwaves and explosions. Bits of asphalt and debris from roadside trees splattered everywhere.
He narrowly avoided it, but the wind pressure alone made Amkena stagger as if her neck would break. I felt like I was losing my mind.
‘Oops, one more!’
There are two tanks parked at the crossroads ahead.
I avoided the first, but what about the second?
The second tank was about to open fire.
A whitish object fell vertically from the roof of the building.
thud!
The shadow, which had fallen onto the top of the tank from a height of several tens of meters, raised its left hand and inserted it into the thick iron armor of the tank.
“…?”
Roaring!
An unimaginable sight.
A column of fire soared from the turret where someone’s hand had been inserted, and the entire tank melted like butter. In the flames, the iron gun barrel bent like candy and the thick armor became mushy.
But either way, another tank next to me is preparing for the next shot.
After turning a tank into scrap metal, the woman pulled out her left hand and hit the top of the tank next to her.
Kwajik!
The muzzle that was about to fire was crumpled like a dented can.
and.
thud!
A shell that exploded inside blew off the top of the tank.
So, the two tanks were put out of action.
“…”
Amkena blinked slowly.
The woman, who covered her right shoulder with a cloak and wore an eyepatch, glanced at me and then flew away.
pick.
At the same time, the navigation light next to the steering wheel came on.
[Turn right in 50 meters.]
A woman’s voice that I heard somewhere.
I’ve only met him once, but I can’t forget him.
The voice echoed from the navigation.
[It’s been a while, Master Amkena.]
“…”
[Let’s enjoy our reunion after work.]
