Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 139
Chapter 139 Patient Transfer
Patient transfer.
That was the condition for clearing the 33rd floor.
“Mr. Evileye!”
“What is it!”
When I fall down, my teammates are surprised and support me.
The voices of the team members lingered in my ears, but I couldn’t lift a finger.
The feeling that my body is not my body.
Deokchun also fluttered and licked me, but to no avail.
It didn’t happen because I was injured. They were systematically classified as patients.
“It’s big.”
He forcibly twisted his trembling body.
What would happen if you fell under a huge rock? All you have to do is move your head slightly.
If I keep working hard, I think I might be able to move my arms.
[Patient dies when the time limit
expires.] [Additional time is given by one hour after the time limit ends.] [
In the case of patient death, another team member is designated as the patient.]
[Up to nine teams can enter the safe area. There is.]
I saw a pillar of light in the distance. That’s a safe zone. The team members have to take me helpless to that place.
I took a deep breath and called my teammates.
“No surprise. Just do it like you did before. You have to move right away.”
There is no time to delay like this.
The faster you move, the more likely you are to reach the safe zone.
“Ah, okay. Please wait. I need to make a stretcher.”
While Kim So-dam went somewhere, he looked at the notification window floating in the air.
Brief information about the 33rd floor was written.
Ten teams entered the 33rd floor first. We are team number two.
It is unknown how many of these teams belong to large guilds.
Good news. It means the other teams don’t understand each other.
They’re not going to attack recklessly.
‘This floor is largely dependent on luck.’
Each team has a core strength. In our team, I am the best.
I was out of luck. If someone else had been nominated as a patient, it would have been a little easier to clear.
Come to your senses. The consequential story is of no use whatsoever.
I am patient, but I need to find a way to help the team.
“Put it here. Let’s go with Daejin.”
Kim So-dam, who has made a stretcher, carries me. Kim So-dam in front, Ko Dae-jin in the back, picked me up, Kim Seo-gyun in front, and long-distance dealer Choi Young-mi in the back.
It’s a good choice. Choi Young-mi uses a crossbow, so both hands must be free.
Since it is impossible to move actively as long as there is a patient, the importance of reconnaissance is reduced.
It’s Kim So-dam, as long as he fights with authority, there’s no big problem even if he’s carrying a stretcher.
Kim Seo-gyun was the only one holding a shield, so he had to protect us.
I must say that I have a good eye. It might be embarrassing, but Kim So-dam successfully completed the relocation.
“Other teams will be in the same situation as we are. It will be worse where there are fewer team members.”
At least we were able to do this because there were five of us, but if there were four of us, the power would have been cut in half at once.
Because at least one had to cover the patient. Although it is correct to have two people for mobility and physical strength distribution. The answer is to move according to each situation.
Still in the early stages of competition. I liked how the two of them carried the patient and quickly went to their destination.
-Sasasak -Damn
it!
Team members started running.
Teams that can enter the safe zone are limited. At least one team is eliminated.
Considering that when a patient dies, another team member becomes the patient, the number of eliminated teams could have increased.
The saying that battle is unavoidable, sooner or later.
“be careful. Rather, there may be some who give up moving and go for another team.”
“Is there a team that is already fighting?”
At my words, Kim So-dam raises a question.
I don’t know if it’s normal, but it’s possible if it’s on the 33rd floor.
“The time limit is 5 hours. It’s not a very long time. If you move with patients. Besides, this is the 33rd floor. There will be teams on the 31st and 32nd floors who have lost their teammates.”
This part is important.
Even if some of the team members die and are eliminated, the remaining team members can go upstairs by fulfilling the clear conditions.
If you started with five people and one person fell out on each floor, only three people made it to the 33rd floor.
If the situation was bad, the two of them could have climbed to the 33rd floor.
What would you do if you were in that situation?
“We’re going to attack the other team and reduce their power. Until one patient remains.”
The patient cannot move by himself.
Naturally, the team left alone fails to reach the safe zone and is eliminated.
It was cruel, but I will make that choice too.
After all, your team members are more important than other team members.
Because it’s more important for you to rise than for others to rise.
The way everyone goes up laughing haha hoho is blocked in the first place.
The tower is such a place.
It can come together, but it can’t be forever.
A place where you have to learn to turn your back while joining forces.
After hearing my explanation, the team members sped up.
I hate to admit it, but it’s true.
“In that case, why don’t we just hit the ball first? It may be better to attack while there is still power left.”
Kim Seo-gyun, who gritted his teeth and cut down the bush, said.
It may sound ruthless, but he has some truth in his words.
but.
“Unless we’re fighting a large guild.”
Currently, we are fighting an all-out war with a large guild.
I don’t know how many large guild teams fell on the 33rd floor, but if they united, there was a high possibility that the patient transfer team and combat team would be moved separately.
Since there is a difference in the number of heads, it is clear that we separated, and no matter how well it goes, the damage will be enormous.
It would be difficult for us to engage in battle and reveal our location.
At least I thought so. Maybe I didn’t even know it was because I was injured.
Because nobody wants to fight when they can’t do anything.
“Then shouldn’t you use your hands even more first? We need to reduce the power before they unite.”
On the other hand, Kim Seo-gyun was different.
Because I wanted a sure way even if it took a risk.
I nodded. There was some truth in what he said.
There is no right answer anyway. All we can do is make a choice, see the result of the choice, and repeat the right choice again.
The other team members are also worried.
Come to think of it, it’s the first time we’ve been on the 30th floor and our opinions are divided.
When a compromise is needed, pushing to one side will only hinder teamwork.
“Then, let’s make a decision after we figure out the location of the enemy first while moving. We still don’t know where each other is.”
“great. If I think I can deal with it, I will attack, and if it is difficult, I will avoid it. Until then…”
-Chuck!
Kim Seo-gyun carefully trimmed the branches so that the stretcher would not get caught.
“Let’s run to our destination, putting Evileye’s safety first.”
Looking at him waving the shield in one hand, he raised the corner of his mouth.
cool and nice
The rest of the team seemed relieved that the atmosphere didn’t deteriorate and went smoothly.
Everyone here must be feeling it.
A team fighting against each other will never survive.
Haven’t we already overcome a crisis by joining forces once?
There were no words after that.
It was good to move as stealthily as possible.
Lying on the rocking stretcher, I looked up at the sky.
Clear skies revealed through the trees.
The faint smell of sweat and dirt from the team members.
It’s the first time I’ve climbed with someone’s help.
I felt safe at the same time.
I feel comfortable, but at the same time I feel sorry.
Let’s check. How patients can help the team.
‘I can’t do anything physical for now.’
In its current state, walking is impossible. I can’t even dream of fighting myself.
So what about skills?
I barely raised my hand to use the fire.
Even though he supported Fellain’s red hair, which has the fire attribute, in addition to the essence of fire.
– Chi-jik-chiik
sparks rose a little, but quickly went out.
With this level of fire, other attack skills would be impossible to use.
I tried using buff dice just in case, but the activation was canceled.
How about a skill that uses divine power?
[Love and Peace (A) Lv. 1]
Soft light shines on the fist.
At least, the divine power-based skills are a little better.
– Passe
could not be maintained for long and the divine power was scattered.
Conclusions made after using several skills.
Once the skill is used, it is impossible.
Is it because you don’t have enough horsepower? no. In the middle of the skill being activated, the system intervenes and interferes.
‘Magical power and divine power itself remain the same.’
One thing comes to mind.
“Mr. Sodam, Mr. Daejin, wait a minute. Could you check if I get heavy?”
“yes? Are you getting heavy?”
“Ugh!”
[Heavy Bracelet (C)]
When the artifact started working, it became heavy for an instant.
For a moment, Kim So-dam and Ko Dae-jin stumbled, but did not fall.
“Thank you.”
“Oh no.”
“Oh, what a surprise.”
I found that the artifact works fine.
A story that you can’t help directly, but you can use an indirect method.
Items can be written. For the same reason, you can use a holy relic, and maybe even a title effect.
Looking at the team members who kept moving, I checked what I had.
“Enemy spotted ahead! Everyone, get ready!”
The atmosphere suddenly changed with the words of Kim Seo-gyun, who was moving in the front.
Kim So-dam and Go Dae-jin get off the stretcher right away.
Go Dae-jin joins Kim Seo-gyun, and Choi Young-mi and Kim So-dam protect me as if they were covering me. Deokchun also settles down on my stomach.
I twisted my creaking body and looked ahead.
Although it was impossible to examine the detailed situation due to the low height.
“damn! To meet you already!”
He could tell that there was a large guild team in front of him, carrying a patient on his back.
The number is about five.
It’s the same number as ours.
“There’s nothing good about each other, so why don’t we just pretend not to know each other?”
A man who appeared to be their team leader approached with both hands raised.
The guild team also seems to be paying attention to the patients by putting them down.
Still in the early stages of competition. They also couldn’t meet other guild teams.
“What should I do?”
Go Dae-jin looked ahead and asked.
“Evileye said it earlier. Let’s decide when we meet the enemy. If you belong to a large guild, you should definitely end it here.”
Kim Seo-gyun held out his sword and stance.
Each other’s location has already been identified. If I went on like this, I didn’t know when the guild guys would come together and attack me.
“I will go as Seo-gyun said.”
I agreed with what he said.
“Damn it! Attack everyone!”
The members of the large guild, realizing that they could not just pass by, started rushing at them in unison.
It was me they were after.
-Phishun!
An arrow flew towards me.
“Where!”
Kim So-dam quickly hit the arrow. A chunk of iron that came out of the inventory before I knew it.
she exerted her power
-Wheein!
The metal split and the battle bots started pouring out.
Robots spinning blades and charging.
Choi Young-mi, who was in the back, also fired a crossbow.
– Kwaaaaang!
“Ha ha ha!”
“Keep the patient first!”
As soon as it hit the ground, an explosion occurred.
The arrow I enchanted was used.
While they flinched, Kim Seo-kyun pushed his shield and ran forward.
“I help too!”
God Jin also turned to the side and began to break their formation.
“You have to target the patient first! That will cut down on power!”
“All right!”
At my cry, the ancient quarry burrowed inside.
When a patient dies, another person is designated as the patient.
It is a story that the power changes depending on who attacks the patient first.
“Aww!”
One guild member with a deep cut on his side spews blood.
To wield a sword against people who are not monsters.
It was also quite stressful for those climbing the tower.
“Only we know we will die!
The angry guild member took something out of his pocket.
Hands outstretched to the sky.
The guy pulled the trigger.
-Puuuuuuu!
-Paaang!
Sparks flew into the air and burst into bright light.
Signal flare!
Kim Seo-gyun swung his sword and cut off his arm, but it was too late.
“The guild team will be gathering here soon!”
The one with glistening eyes rushed at us with a sound that I couldn’t tell if it was a scream or a spirit.
The team members come out to stop him.
“Everybody get back!”
I screamed and screamed.
My teammates can’t see it, but I can see it.
[Self-Destruction (A) Lv.10]
– Activates all the magical energy in the body to cause a huge explosion.
– The self-destruct level is fixed at 10.
what is he trying to do
– Wow!
A huge explosion engulfed us.
