The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 105

Immediately after the news about association president Park In-beom’s budget embezzlement was reported in the media.
The mass media burned hotter than ever.
Representatives of the association and even the government expressed deep regret over this incident, but public opinion, once ignited, did not subside easily.
Since it was an association that had only shown good things so far, it was bound to come as an even greater shock to people.
The president of the association took responsibility and resigned, but that alone could not solve everything. Ultimately, a full investigation was conducted on all employees.
At the same time, large-scale personnel changes were also made under the pretext of breaking any existing collusive relationships.
Most of the members of the operation team, including team leader Kim Min-ju, were transferred to regional areas, and the control team members, including team leader Pyeon, were also scattered.
Currently, there is only Director Choi Ho-seong, a few directors, and employees at the Seoul headquarters.
It seemed like the missing manpower would be secured later, but currently the headquarters is an empty box.
A few days passed as we cleaned up after such a big incident.
A street near Seocho Station.
“Fuck!!!”
Finally, the day arrived.
[Unique Skill: Quasar]
[Unique Skill: Emperor’s Tomb]
[Unique Skill: Sword Master]
Boom, Quagwang!
Quagwagwang-!!
Pubung-!!
The hunters who had arrived a few minutes ago after hearing information that a dungeon had appeared had no idea how to accept the situation in front of them.
An unprecedented situation that ignores all existing dungeon formulas.
It was beyond the chaos of chaos, it was hell itself.
“Why on earth is the monster already escaping?!”
“There is no end to monsters! “It’s impossible to even enter!!”
“What the fuck! “How long will it continue to pour down?”
Operation Team 4, Team 2, and Team 5 all went out to subdue the enemy, but they had no idea what to do in a situation that was far beyond common sense.
I had only heard from the control team that the supernatural faction was unstable, but I had never imagined a dungeon like this, so it was natural.
Team Leader Chu Ji-yeon of Operation Team 4, who was the leader of this operation, was equally embarrassed.
‘What on earth is this?…’
Even though she had been a hunter for a long time, this was the first time she had encountered this situation.
I heard a story about an unstable dimension dungeon appearing in South America a long time ago… but there were no proper records or information.
But I never thought it would be a dungeon like this.
“manager! There is no limit to the number of people we have now! Request support quickly…!”
“What nonsense! Don’t you know the current situation at headquarters?! “Where do you ask for support when the entire operation team has been cut off!!”
“Then what should I do?! Are we going to have to keep subjugating ourselves like this?!”
Team leader Chu Ji-yeon gritted his teeth.
In the first place, all remaining operational teams are present at headquarters.
There is no place to request support, and even if you try to request cooperation from the guild, it takes several hours.
Does that mean the operation will continue?
What is the point of going on a mission when it is impossible to enter the dungeon?
‘As soon as the headquarters was destroyed, what is this…’
This is not possible.
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find an answer.
When that thought occurred to me, I lost consciousness for a moment.
I felt like I was going to lose my mind, so I slapped myself and held onto the strings of reason.
It is no longer subjugation.
Rather than thinking about making the operation successful… you have to think about survival first.
Team leader Chu Ji-yeon clenched her fists.
“What happened to the evacuation of citizens?”
“Evacuation to a 5km radius from the dungeon appearance area has been completed.”
“Increase the evacuation radius to 10 km and seal off the area. “Let’s rent trucks and buses and block all roads!”
“yes?! If we blockade the old area, the subjugation will be….”
“We can’t gamble on an impossible operation.”
Team leader Chu Ji-yeon picked up the radio with a stern expression.
“Notify all operations teams. As of now, all operational teams, including Operation Team 4, will immediately cease operations and retreat. Repeat. “Stop operations immediately and retreat.”
As soon as the order was given, all members of the operation team stopped the attack and turned their backs, as if they had been waiting.
The operation team has given up on the idea of fighting at all.
This would have been ridiculous in the past, but in a situation where there was an overwhelming lack of personnel and information, there was no more appropriate decision.
And that was exactly the situation Kim Jun-woo intended.
***
It’s been two days since the area was sealed off.
In the meantime, they continued to attempt subjugation, but the conditions were not sufficient and they had to retreat dozens of times.
In the end, all operational team leaders, including Operation Headquarters Chief Choi Ho-seong, and upper-level members of the Association were convened and an emergency operation meeting was held.
In a heavy atmosphere, Director Choi Ho-seong stood up and reported the situation.
“Currently, the area including the area around Seocho Station and Bangbae-dong, Seocho-dong, and Yeoksam-dong within a 10km radius of the dungeon has been blocked. Fortunately, thanks to quick thinking, there were no casualties, but…”
“Thank goodness?”
Director Ha Seung-man, who was holding his forehead, rolled his eyes.
“The middle of Seoul has been taken over by monsters. Are you glad? “Is it possible for the bastards called the Operation Team to eat that salary and make no progress for two days?!”
“Each monster is a boss level of yellow or higher. “If you proceed with the operation unreasonably, it becomes more dangerous.”
“You can say that?! “They’re not giving you that money to take risks!!”
His voice got louder.
Fortunately, the quick blockade prevented the monsters from escaping out of the area… but extensive damage had already occurred in the area.
Above all, monsters have been constantly pouring out of the dungeon for two days.
Tomorrow the acceptance limit would be surpassed, and in the worst case, the containment zone could be breached.
“Director Ho-seong Choi.”
“…yes yes.”
“There must be a way, right?”
“It is absolutely impossible to carry out the operation with the current headquarters staff. “I requested permission to convene a national operation team…”
After hesitating for a moment, he continued.
“I think permission will be issued sometime tomorrow morning.”
“tomorrow? Then I’ll just let go until then, right?! “What are you going to do if the containment zone is breached?”
“Do you think I’m doing this because I want to stay still? “What are you asking me to do when all the key personnel have flown through this gate?”
Although he was truly angry and started yelling, Ho-seong Choi managed to regain his composure and opened his mouth again.
“Still, several guilds in Seoul applied to participate in the operation. “There are not many people, but… for now, we will try to subdue little by little with the guild until permission to convene is issued.”
“Except for the Ares and Aphrodite guilds, the rest are all hakkos. “Can you take them with you?”
“I think it’s possible.”
“So who will lead?”
The conference room was filled with silence.
An issue that everyone had tried to ignore was blatantly mentioned.
“We need to take a few CD-level people and enter the already occupied area. If this fails, not only will you die, but the entire Seoul will collapse. “Is there anyone among you who can take charge of this operation?”
“….”
Everyone just looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.
It was natural.
Everyone has already felt a sense of helplessness after witnessing the disaster with their own eyes, so who can step forward with confidence?
Director Ha Seung-man opened his mouth while he was just sparing his words.
“There is only one person who can take charge of this operation… as far as I can see.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Director Seungman Ha did not bother to answer.
Nevertheless, Director Choi Ho-seong knew right away who he was talking about.
“Now wait a minute! That person is no longer part of the Association! Moreover, he was involved in this scandal, and entrusting leadership to such a person would be detrimental to the association’s image…!”
“It’s an image and a shame, but I have to live with it for now! Or do you want to conduct something?”
“That…”
Director Ha Seung-man’s gaze swept over the operations team leaders.
“Aren’t you all thinking the same thing right now anyway? “He might be able to do it!”
Everyone closed their mouths as if they had made a promise.
It’s not that it wasn’t, but everyone was really thinking that way.
“Let’s figure out the situation. There’s too much at stake in this one operation. “It’s not a situation to argue about this or that.”
Ho-seong Choi clenched his fists at Director Seung-man Ha’s firm voice.
As President Park In-beom flew away, I hoped that the link between him and the association would naturally be severed.
Only then will all those who can interfere with you disappear.
That was the only way to take control of the headquarters without any setbacks after the corruption gate.
But if I bring him back now… wouldn’t all the risks I’ve taken to build things up have been in vain?
Director Choi Ho-seong’s teeth were gritted.
“Anyway, I cannot agree. “I would rather lead.”
“You you man…!”
“Anyway, all operational orders are within my authority. “We will conduct a subjugation tonight with the guilds that wish to participate.”
Director Choi Ho-seong left after leaving those words.
Normally, it would have been an outrageous behavior, but I couldn’t complain about it.
In any case, the person in charge of all subjugation and operations was Choi Ho-seong.
In a situation where Seoul could collapse because of a single dungeon, what justification can there be for raising an objection to the fact that the head of the operation headquarters himself will take command?
‘Tsk, you’re not helpful from start to finish.’
Meanwhile, there was someone who was looking at the spot where Choi Ho-seong left with eyes that looked like they were going to eat it.
‘Ha fuck. If I do this, I’ll be out…’
Team leader Hwang Dong-hwi flew to the Cheonan branch and took over the current control team.
He threw his head back and let out a deep sigh.
***
‘As soon as the dungeon appears, blockade the area and withdraw the operation…’
I sat down and checked the real-time news on my phone.
Fortunately, everything was going as expected.
The biggest reason for the damage caused by the appearance of the Regen dungeon before the return was pride.
The arrogance that we can subdue it on our own.
Thanks to this, not only did they miss the timing of the blockade right after the dungeon appeared, but it also resulted in dozens of hunters dying on the spot within three days.
But now the situation is 180 degrees different.
Due to the departure of the association, there is a severe shortage of personnel, and since most of the top ranks have flown to the branches, there is no choice but to move passively.
Thanks to this, we were able to successfully blockade the area in time.
As of now, two days have passed and no damage has occurred to the hunters.
Now all we have to do is hold out until the national operations team is summoned.
After that, if you lead well, you can resolve this situation without any damage.
However, the question is whether the containment zone can hold out until then.
‘Considering the regen speed compared to the area area… tonight will be a difficult night.’
It’s time to take some action, but if you see no movement… It seems that the association has not made a decision yet.
Meanwhile, the Internet was on fire.
└What happened as soon as the headquarters exploded???
└The headquarters exploded and Seoul exploded too haha.
└Is this a situation to laugh about?? Is he a psychopath?
└The operation team has been disbanded and there are not enough people. Isn’t this a real thing?
└ㅇㅇIt’s true that it’s serious;; These guys don’t know the seriousness of the situation;;
└What on earth is Ho-seong Choi doing? He looks like a monster like this.
└ㄹㅇ He’s being compared to Jun-woo Kim;;
└If it were Kim Jun-woo, he would have already finished the subjugation and went to grab a bowl of soup with his teammates
└Choi Ho-seong ㅂㅅAh, if you’re going to do this, bring Kim Jun-woo back
└ㅆㅇㅈ If it’s ‘him’, it can be resolved
└But this time, the president of the association will be out, so it’s going to be hard to come back, right?
└ㅇㅇRight now, almost all of the headquarters are anti-association president factions, so there is no way they can call themselves representatives of the pro-association president faction again.
└No, what kind of politics is this?;; It’s a line and a mess, but I’ll have to see it once I live it;;;;
As monsters were expected to roam throughout the city at any moment, all kinds of stories were coming out.
Of course, the opinion about the association headquarters is literally the worst.
The situation is worsening due to corruption gate.
While watching the internet reaction, I folded my arms and took a moment to sort out the situation.
Of course, once the containment zone is breached, it becomes uncontrollable.
We need to reduce the population, but there are more than a few things that make us anxious as we wait for Choi Ho-seong to take care of it.
Above all, if casualties begin to appear while they are pretending to subdue each other, all the efforts they have made so far will be in vain.
Tsk, I can’t help it.
I took out my cell phone.
“Are you busy now?”
“I just keep watching the news. “The situation is much more serious than we thought,”
Director Lee Ah-young answered in a deep voice.
“Of course it is. “So, I’m talking about that…”
“Yes?”
“Can you please get me a few weapons? “The grade doesn’t really matter, anything is good.”
「…? What are you talking about all of a sudden? “You still think I’m part of the support team, right?”
“I know. But… that’s the only person I can think of.”
“You know that’s illegal, right?”
“Yes.”
“…Why are you so proud?”
I sighed once.
“all right. “I’ll try to get it.”
“Aren’t you going to ask me what I’m trying to do?”
“It’s obvious…but there is a condition,”
she said in a strong voice.
“Please include me too.”
