The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 51
Episode 51 Ammunition Battalion (5)
“We’re going to explode the ammunition depot.”
Gwangil’s eyes widened for a moment.
The guy didn’t ask any more questions.
“Closing the ammunition depot door… Closing it itself could be done with just two or three members of the warrior group.”
“I guess the problem lies elsewhere.”
“yes. “There’s no way they’ll be watching while we’re closing.”
Resistance will be quite fierce.
“…Is it going to be very difficult?”
“That’s true.”
The guy frowned for a moment and smoothed his chin.
Finally, he smiled and said.
“If it can’t be done, shouldn’t it be done?”
“young. “I know better now.”
“Warrior team! “There is a change in strategy!”
An order was given from the commander of the warriors.
“What Daewon did!”
“yes!”
“Lee Han-il is here!
“Two people stick to the door. “Close the door one at a time!”
“yes!”
“The rest forces the monster inside. practice!”
“practice!!!”
At the end of the short command.
The warriors’ behavior changed noticeably.
From the way he killed the monster guarding the queen and somehow tried to reach the queen.
After killing them, let’s push them into the ammunition dump.
The soldiers gathered together dispersed.
By the time the formation of the warrior-type awakened people was in place.
“Sergeant Shin! The magic is ready! “The delay is 3 minutes!”
The wizards’ chanting has ended.
“Shoot right away!”
The magic of the fire wizards enters the wide open ammunition storage.
The monsters, who judged that the attack was not directed at them, did not even block the magic.
Soon, magic sticks to various shells in the ammunition storage like sticky bombs.
‘The reason the ammunition battalion’s site is large… is to minimize damage from an explosion.’
Prevent damage to nearby buildings in the event of an explosion.
The distance between buildings will be as large as possible, which will expand the site.
Normally, a distance is maintained within the ammunition depot to prevent explosions between ammunition.
A decent explosion wouldn’t have been a big problem.
‘The inside is covered in spider webs right now.’
It would be very easy for one small explosion to reach somewhere else.
When the ammunition depot explodes like that, the damage…
will be enough to devastate the surrounding area.
‘If such an explosion occurs while the door is open, half of our troops will be wiped out.’
so that.
“Close it quickly!”
Kkeikik…
A huge iron gate.
Warriors clung to both sides and began pushing the door.
-Shaaaak?
As our team begins to close the door.
Monsters who were hell-bent on protecting the queen from within.
The guys seemed to notice something too.
-Keeeeeeek!
“Those bastards are trying to get out!”
“I will never let you come out!”
They were monsters running wild trying to get out of the ammunition depot.
Kwaguagagaga River.
Toadadadada….
The warriors push with their bodies, pushing the monsters inside.
The gunners and wizards in the back row throw firepower.
Instead, the monsters that were trying to escape were pushed into the ammunition dump.
It’s completely different from killing monsters.
Pushing the monster inside.
“You can’t be pushed!”
“Give me a little more strength!”
A simple power struggle.
The monsters inside were also struggling to get out.
I wouldn’t know if it was in normal condition.
-Keeeeeeek…!
-Gruck…!
Wounded monsters.
It was not enough to withstand the firepower projection of our unit.
The guys are getting pushed further and further inward.
“Almost closed!”
“If only I could lock it….”
“Good job!”
done!
Just before the door closes completely.
I thought I just had to lock it and run away.
That moment.
-Keeeeeeeeeeee!
With an extremely loud scream.
Kang!
Two unrealistically large blades.
It popped out between the closed doors.
“Tsk!”
The soldiers gathered near the door were blown away by the blade.
Twice that of most people.
No, it was a front paw that looked like a huge blade that seemed to be three times the size.
Of course, imperfect fluids.
Even the front paws of the adult monster were not like this.
The owner of that blade.
“Queen.”
The queen who protected herself by only spraying buffs from behind.
This guy finally came to the forefront in a crisis situation.
And that power.
He wasn’t called king for nothing.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
its a me their new theirs.
The door was almost completely closed.
The door no longer closes when the Queen puts her two front paws between the doors.
No, rather.
‘It’s opening little by little.’
Tremendous strength.
Even though all the warriors joined in closing the door.
Instead of closing, the door was slowly opening.
“Damn it, project your firepower!”
“I’m doing it!”
Although the firepower of the wizards and archers battered the queen’s body.
The hard blade stood firm as if it had not suffered any damage.
I remembered their grooming method.
‘It was said that these monsters’ front paws are incredibly strong.’
It is a blade that attacks the enemy, but it is also a large shield.
There was no time left before the explosion.
If it could explode as intended, the queen wouldn’t be fine.
If you can’t close that door, the same goes for this one.
‘then.’
I organized my thoughts.
He pulled out the sashimi knife from his waist, looked behind him, and shouted.
“Fire wizards! “Load your magic!”
“yes! “Can I shoot the queen?”
“no.”
It would be nice if I could kill it with that.
There is a high possibility that we will not have enough firepower.
“Shoot here.”
“yes?”
“That’s…”
The wizards expressed puzzlement at my command.
“It’s a kitchen knife?”
“Good to see. “Shoot me with my sword.”
“…Did I hear wrong?”
“My knife. “Make it as hot as possible.”
The goal is not a monster.
The kitchen knife I am holding.
You have to heat it up with fire magic.
“Because I don’t have time. hurry!”
“Ha, but. “If the knife gets hot, Sergeant Shin’s hand holding it won’t be safe either.”
“I will take care of that. “Don’t worry about it, come on.”
Let’s speak strongly.
Although the fire wizards hesitated, they radiated flames towards my sword.
yet.
The oil containing magical power catches fire and burns loudly.
Due to the heat, the blade also gradually turned red.
‘…It’s a visual I saw on a blacksmith YouTube site or something.’
After receiving it from my successor.
The long sashimi knife that I have been using so far.
The blade turns bright red.
You can feel the heat even through the handle.
It would probably be a heat that would melt the flesh of an ordinary person.
but.
‘It’s worth holding on to.’
[List of Traits]
[Lesser Fire Affinity]
Chef.
Because it is resistant to heat.
“All rear ranks retreat.”
“yes!? but.”
“If the ammunition depot explodes, the surrounding area will be devastated. Because if you stay here, you will be annihilated. hurry.”
There was no time to hesitate.
After confirming that the soldiers in the rear row were moving away in combat vehicles.
I held on tightly to the knife that had turned bright red from the heat.
The queen holding on to the door.
I approached those two blades.
“Isn’t this a part that is used as a weapon for no reason? “It looks incredibly strong.”
In fact, it blocks the firepower projection of wizards and archers.
It would be difficult to inflict damage with an ordinary knife.
but.
“You have quite a few wounds on your body.”
Just like other adult monsters did.
Several wounded areas were also visible on the queen’s body.
And some of those scars.
Front feet like blades.
It was also present in that joint.
A wound that seems to be healing to some degree.
Thanks to that, it seems like I survived the bullet.
I know these guys’ ‘grooming methods’ well.
[The skin shell is also hard, but when heated, the skin softens and can be easily removed.]
Hot sashimi knife.
A blade whose heat makes the surrounding air shimmer.
I swung it towards the injured joint.
Phew!!!
Stab.
Suddenly.
Cut.
Kkjjik!
I hung up.
OK.
-Kraaaaaaaa!
Kuung –
‘It’s a success.’
A huge blade cuts away.
The blade rolling around on the floor with a painful scream.
They say it has eight arms.
The pain of having one arm blown off.
It must have been quite unbearable.
The queen’s body, which was half-way out the door, hesitated and fell back.
“Now! “Close it!”
thud!
Now all that’s left is the remaining blade.
It’s stuck between the doors, as if it doesn’t want to let it close.
“Now take it easy!”
The connection area between the forefoot and the torso.
Let’s swing the heated sword towards that place.
“Go in!”
Suddenly,
even the sharp front paw on the other side was cut off.
thud!!!
Only then.
The huge iron door closed with a loud sound.
After confirming that the door was closed, I quickly turned around and shouted.
“Everyone, take out your combat rations! “Retreat behind the combat vehicle!”
They succeeded in trapping the monsters inside.
Now the only thing left to do is run away.

[Temporarily acquires the attribute – ‘Sleipa’s Junjok (Deterioration)’.]
“I promised myself I would never eat it again, but damn it.”
The largest ammunition depot within the ammunition battalion.
No matter how thick the iron door is.
The power of that explosion cannot be stopped by something like an iron door.
Rather, it would be enough to explode the ammunition depot itself.
“Bounce quickly!”
“Yes yes!”
I also kicked my feet with all my might to get away from the ammunition dump as quickly as possible.
I walked away from the ammunition depot at a speed that could not be compared to any vehicle and looked around.
‘The other guys seem to be okay.’
Fortunately, those who were awakened in the rear ranks with poor physical abilities were evacuated in combat vehicles.
The protection of a combat vehicle would prevent at least some fragments from an explosion.
The warrior group guys who closed the door with me seemed to be okay too.
Is it not a warrior job for nothing?
These guys were already able to achieve speeds comparable to that of a car just by sprinting.
Because those guys even acquired the characteristics of demonic beasts.
These guys are already running much ahead of me.
‘Those who are behind….’
And finally.
Let’s look back just in case.
….
there was no one.
‘…uh?’
Behind me.
No one is here.
‘Is this possible?’
Does this mean I’m the last one?
Unlike the warriors who work in combat.
As a chef, my physical abilities are slightly below that of a superhuman.
No matter how many characteristics you have acquired.
No matter how hard you run.
I will be the last to run away.
If you think about it, it’s natural.
in other words.
‘Am I the only one who became X?’
The explosion was just around the corner.
Sensing that I had really screwed up, I gritted my teeth and ran with all my might.
“Sergeant Shin! “Come here quickly!”
“You crazy bastards! “Aren’t you taking care of Sergeant Shin?”
Those warriors who were running ahead.
I realized from afar that I was lagging behind tremendously.
Right at that moment.
Kwakagagaga River!!!!!!!!!!
A huge sound is heard from behind.
‘crazy…!’
Huge ammunition dump.
Huge amount of ammunition in there.
It started with a small explosion.
Normally, even if an explosion occurs, it should not affect other ammunition.
The result was that the spider webs accumulated inside became the fuse for the explosion.
It would have touched the detonators of other ammunition and shells.
That huge amount of explosives exploded in an instant.
This means that there will be an explosion large enough to explode the ammunition depot itself.
Just like this.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What came after hearing the huge sound.
Covering your back -.
‘Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
Crazy hot.
Heat on a massive scale.
Even though they had already run away to the point where the ammunition depot was no longer visible.
Since I couldn’t get far enough, I had to be fully exposed to the heat.
but.

[Coat made from the leather of the Steel Lizard clan. Provides high physical resistance and normal level of elemental resistance.]
I can feel the flesh on my back melting.
Somehow, I gritted my teeth and held on to the heat.
“Big…”
Use the recoil from the explosion as driving force.
I threw myself faster.
The fragments of the exploded ammunition depot were flying in all directions.
The dry sky turned red.
Let’s run for a while without losing our senses.
“Damn it, Sergeant Shin!”
The warriors reached out and pulled my body behind cover.
The pain felt as if the flesh on my back had melted.
‘Shit.’
It hurts so much.
It really hurts like it’s going to hurt.
But…
‘I didn’t die.’
Let’s take a deep breath and look up at the sky.
The sky was seen turning red due to the explosion.
“Has the explosion stopped for now?”
“We have to quickly take Sergeant Shin to the medic! Quickly!”
today.
Somehow I survived without dying.
‘Tsk tsk.’
The last thing I saw was that I was lying on Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s back.
It looked like a priest and a healer were rushing towards me.
‘Military life is really tough.’
