The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 202
Episode 202: True violence.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
A bone knife the size of your palm.
The bone knife pierces the monster’s shoulder with a huge crack that is unbecoming of its size.
-Crooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
A monster with a huge body and incredibly dense muscles.
The monster began to writhe in pain.
“Oh my god.”
“I can’t even see it clearly, so what kind of power is it…!?”
Suddenly, there was a hole the size of a fist in my shoulder.
That must be incredibly painful.
Soldiers preparing for battle, too.
He looks astonished at the sight.
But…
‘Hmm. As expected, there are limits to the use of weapon characteristics.’
The monster is writhing in pain and screaming.
That means screaming.
Meaning it couldn’t be killed.
‘As expected… it’s not an offensive skill.’
[Assistant Chef] is as the name suggests.
Originally a skill to assist chefs.
To begin with, it’s strange that I only fight while being a chef.
In this case as well, he is trying to somehow use his decent cooking skills for combat.
Even if you use all kinds of tricks, it’s not enough to kill the monster with one hit.
But whatever.
It doesn’t really matter.
‘That will only be temporary.’
Even though his body exploded and exploded.
The monsters that somehow survived and burned their fighting spirit as they looked at me.
-Well… really…?
Their bodies.
It falls down naturally.
Although I couldn’t kill him with one hit.
It doesn’t really matter.
That’s how a huge wound was created.
To that wide wound area.
[Nepenthes’ extreme poison]
Even melts the soul.
Because a strong poison has seeped into it.
-Croo… Uh… Ugh…
Couuuung…
Not long after screaming in pain.
A monster that slowly loses its strength and collapses.
“….”
The soldiers who saw that were shocked.
This was just the beginning.
Kwaaaaang!
Coo!
[Sound Squeeze] continues to swim in the air and intercept enemies.
-Krr…Luk.
Every time that rushing sound rings out.
A monster falls.
“…monsters occupying the military base.”
“That simple…?”
The expressions on the soldiers’ faces looking at me.
Astonishment began to show.
Let’s have a few more battles like that.
The corps we once belonged to.
The powerful monsters that destroyed the 12th Legion…
in front of the [Legion]’s fire.
It disappeared like dust.
* * *
“This is the last time!”
“Kiyoooot!”
A monster liberated from a military base.
Among them, the last one falls at the hands of a soldier.
“Whoop… Whoop…!”
“Thank you all for your hard work!”
Exhausted soldiers are breathing heavily.
Some soldiers were seriously injured and were being treated by medics.
This subjugation war.
Although my [assistant chef] performed quite spectacularly.
‘Actually, it’s the most glamorous thing only when seen from the outside.’
The practicality is not that great.
All other unit members also participated in the battle.
of course.
The actual merits of the other unit members are probably far superior.
“Whoa… I suddenly wonder what the hell is going on.”
“That’s right. “Thanks to the corps commander, I was able to stop it somehow… but I really don’t know what the trouble was.”
The battle is all over.
The soldiers, who were taking a breath and looking around, muttered that.
actually.
A sudden subjugation battle due to the sudden appearance of monsters.
In that urgent situation, the soldiers had no time to think about anything else.
but.
Now that the battle is somewhat over.
“…Hmm.”
“Sergeant Shin?”
I could feel the eyes of the unit members turning towards me.
What on earth is going on?
A gaze full of questions.
But…
even if you look at it that way.
“Unfortunately, there is nothing I can tell you right now.”
“Is that so?”
“I’m not sure, but it’s still confidential.”
Shake your head with a serious expression and speak.
The soldiers take a step back as if they understand.
Thank you for understanding.
‘It’s not like that.’
What is confidentiality?
I don’t know anything, so I can’t answer.
What kind of situation is this?
I also have no idea what it is.
Taejun was embarrassed by the sudden attack and all he did was cook for him.
However, I couldn’t pretend to not know anything…
I ended up dealing with it in one way or another through orders through guild messages.
A situation that seems impossible to overcome easily.
So that’s what I chose.
It seems like he knows something, but he pretends not to say it.
in other words.
It’s bluffing.
“ah. “I can tell you just one thing.”
“yes?”
But…
“You said earlier what kind of trouble this was, right?”
“I did say that.”
Actually, we don’t know much about this situation.
Even though I’m just bluffing.
nevertheless.
There was one thing we could know for sure.
Sigh.
“That hardship. “It won’t be all hard work.”
“…?”
The soldiers looked at me with puzzled expressions.
I left that gaze behind.
I walked forward without saying a word.
There…
stepping on the corpses of monsters.
Let’s continue walking in the direction where the monsters appeared.
Those guys.
The place it would have originally occupied.
[Caution!]
[No entry]
“Do you see that?”
A sign with a familiar font.
appeared before our eyes.
[Military area]
[No entry]
Written in a rough red font.
Although it may be a little unfamiliar to others.
A phrase that is bound to be familiar to us.
“…ah!”
It seemed like he finally realized what I was trying to say.
The soldiers watching open their mouths wide.
All kinds of strategic materials.
A powerful weapon.
Of course, it is located in a strategic location.
A place equipped with all kinds of defensive facilities.
‘Military unit.’
If it weren’t for a sudden surprise attack.
No matter how powerful the monsters are.
The core of humanity’s power that could never be easily breached.
In other words.
“Sweet.”
There isn’t a single monster guarding you.
There was a honey bucket in place.
* * *
After the subjugation of the monsters was over.
Our unit decided to start cleaning up the situation.
“Thanks to the fact that the subjugation was completed quickly, it appears that no one was injured.”
“There are a few soldiers injured in the subjugation battle, but it is not serious.”
Taejun’s counter pick based on his horoscope.
The effect was significant.
Even though so many monsters were released, they succeeded in subduing them with minimal damage.
and.
We succeeded in subduing the place originally occupied by monsters.
The military unit has begun restoration.
“It looks like there are no survivors.”
“Whoa.”
I searched through each military base just in case.
There were no living soldiers.
Even if there are survivors, they are probably out of the military base.
“I can’t help it. “Is everything else going well that you asked me to do?”
“yes. “First of all, we are recovering dog tags as much as possible to identify them and preparing for funerals for those units where bodies remain.”
“good job.”
These people were precious family members to someone.
Even though death was inevitable.
‘Because it has to end properly.’
By recovering the dog tags, the identities of all the soldiers who died will be able to be identified.
someday.
Someone may come to us looking for their name.
It would be quite a difficult task to deliver the news of the death to them.
We are probably the only soldiers left until the end.
It is also our duty to convey that.
This somewhat depressing story has come to an end.
What I heard next was.
It was somehow good news.
“Wow, that’s a huge amount of supplies!”
“Bullets, various hardware… combat rations…? I don’t need this, so I’ll skip it. anyway!”
Leader of the sappers.
Corporal Lee Gong-woo shouted with a smile on his face.
“The most important thing is that we have secured a ton of oil!”
How excited I am.
A guy who talks so much that saliva flies out of his mouth.
“I’m just saying that because I don’t know much, but do military units have a lot of oil?”
“There are so many!”
The 423rd Battalion, where I worked, was a very small unit.
Oil is also used to operate tanks. Although
it was not a small amount, it was only stored in a large amount
.
Units on the ground must also have the oil to operate those tanks.
“At this level, there will be room to operate tanks for a while. Oh, of course, since it is such an oil-consuming monster, it will be difficult to use it without any worries.”
“Oh….”
It’s good to get what you get at best.
Tanks that could not be operated properly because they consumed too much oil.
Enough oil to be able to operate those tanks in earnest.
“Dozens of those same tanks were also captured. That’s not all, just the rifle…”
And.
In addition to that, there were all kinds of firearms that numerous military units had.
Even resources such as ammunition and grenades.
One day, monsters suddenly attacked a military base and took over the place.
Those guys were definitely strong though.
There was a definite reason
why such strong guys appeared at that place .
‘To suppress the powerlessness of humanity.’
Some evil intention that wants the destruction of humanity.
The malicious intent is the military unit’s history and weapon resources.
The goal was to keep them away from humans.
however.
The monsters were released all at once and left the military base they were guarding.
What if I couldn’t defeat those monsters?
A catastrophe would have occurred.
‘That’s when I couldn’t stop it.’
The phrase “what if” has no meaning in the military.
We defeated those monsters.
This time, the military base where the monsters were liberated.
The number is more than ten.
of course.
All the items in that military base became ours.
In an instant.
It had the same effect as subduing at least 10 military units.
“Heh… heh. Hehehe…!”
“Is it that good?”
How much was it?
Engineers who manage war weapons.
It was so hard that the laughter wouldn’t leave his mouth.
“Minjae hyung?”
Besides…
that wasn’t all.
“how is it? Do you think it will work?
“hmm… wait a minute.”
Sergeant Lee Min-jae.
A soldier who recently succeeded in being promoted to the job of [Radio Wizard].
He played with the machine for a while.
He quickly nodded and said.
“I think it’s probably possible.”
“…also!”
For most military units.
There is a communication network that allows communication between military units without going through another relay station.
Due to the nature of infantry units that have to move around and fight in many places.
There are many cases where communication is required in the field.
actually.
This communication system was the true power of the military during the days of civilization.
‘Because our unit alone was a weak unit.’
A radar unit trapped deep in the mountains.
Although we manage an important facility called radar.
Because of its location, it is extremely difficult to retain a large amount of power.
so that.
Near our radar unit were various combat units capable of intercepting enemies approaching our unit.
Our radar unit is protected by such combat units.
I was in charge of detecting the approach of enemies through radar.
Military units established in strategic locations in each region.
The military units communicate with each other and cooperate organically.
Being able to solidify control over the region.
After Doomsday.
Although the communication network was completely useless.
“I’ve done it once, so I think it’s worth doing a second time.”
Sergeant Lee Min-jae.
He was the person who could save the communication network.
“The problem is that I’m going to be very busy.”
After realizing that the first radio transmission was successfully completed.
Our unit speaks English, Chinese, Japanese, etc.
They were trying to make additional transmissions in a way that foreigners could understand.
It is a bonus to additionally deliver various information necessary for survival.
It goes without saying that Minjae, who is at the core of that radio broadcast, has become incredibly busy.
“Tsk tsk. “My brother and I both went through a lot of hardships in our later years.”
“Well… I do it because I enjoy it.”
Although it will cause you some trouble.
It is also that important.
After Sergeant Lee Min-jae headed to each military unit he had secured this time.
Strengthen the radio waves coming from there.
If we can revive communication between military units.
‘Without relying on guild messages that can only be sent by the leader level… organic connection between multiple regions becomes possible.’
Unlike now, where they only barely control downtown Chuncheon and the area near the ammunition battalion.
The strategic points in this area will definitely be able to be used as the legion’s territory.
Compared to the past, it will probably be a little more uncomfortable and clunky.
Within Gangwon-do, it may be possible to revive communication over long distances.
‘When I first heard that the monster had been released, I really broke into a cold sweat.’
A gigantic ‘malice’ whose identity is still unknown.
That malice even walks all the way to powerful monsters.
A power that prevented it from falling into the hands of humans.
‘The true violence that mankind had…’
past.
In the days when civilization was intact, this was the power that was gathered under the name of the 12th Legion.
It was about to be rebuilt under the name of the [Steel Legion].
