The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 193

“What is this….”

Beijing China Association Headquarters.

News about the current situation in Hong Kong was delivered immediately.

The president of the Re-Jaying Association could not hide his bewilderment at the terrible news.

It is true that I was nervous about the story that Hong Kong was trying to hand over its branch to Karma Corporation.

We had to prevent the takeover at all costs because we did not know what punishment they would receive from the authorities if they became completely independent of the Chinese association.

So, I asked a person named Ema to help me recapture the Hong Kong branch as quickly as possible, but—.

I never thought they would create a dungeon in the middle of the city.

That too, in a pile of red and yellow grades.

I’m not sure how that’s possible, but one thing is certain.

‘No matter how much it falls, the International Association is still an International Association…’

If you have the power to create dungeons at will, it is not that important even if trust has hit rock bottom due to the attack.

In the face of overwhelming control, what is the difference between trust and naivety?

It wasn’t a bluff to say that you wanted to control the world’s subjugation powers.

Well, if anyone had that level of power, anyone would come out like that.

Moreover, his actions are quite extreme.

The current phenomenon in Hong Kong was carried out strictly as planned by the International Association.

Before proceeding with the takeover, the city would be thrown into chaos so that the branch would first request help from headquarters.

To that end, they continued to push the situation to an extreme so that it could not be resolved through the Hong Kong branch’s strength alone.

‘It’s not a plan that people who think that the safety of citizens is their top priority would come up with…’ An

attitude as if they don’t care about the sacrifices of citizens if it’s for the sake of the goal.

Even Chairman Lee of the association was shocked by the sight.

I thought the Chinese association had also shown a rather strong attitude so far, but compared to them, it was like a child’s play.

‘I don’t know if this is really okay.’

Association President Lee felt strangely anxious.

Of course, there is no evidence that the International Association randomly created dungeons and attacked the city center, so there is no need to worry about being caught.

Even so…

the problem was the airport bombing.

As soon as Representative Emma received news that the representative of Karma Corporation was at the airport, he immediately attacked there.

How many people were in the airport was of no concern to them.

It seems like all they have to do is prevent the acquisition from proceeding.

‘Scary guys…’

Chairman Lee shook his head without realizing it.

No matter how much I thought about it, fighting with these guys wasn’t a sane thing to do.

What kind of guts does Karma Corporation have to stand against these guys?

No…

how on earth did they gain control over these guys?

Those who use any means necessary to achieve their goals, or those who take the initiative away from those people…

either way is not normal.

“Anyway. “There are so many crazy people.”

Just as Chairman Li was clicking his tongue, Executive Secretary Zhang Hongzhi came into the office.

“Did you call me?”

When Secretary Jang spoke with a light greeting, Chairman Lee nodded.

“How is the situation over there now?”

“It’s as bad as expected. Due to the failure to conquer the red grade dungeon for the first time, it became difficult to organize additional operational personnel. There are not enough operational teams to deploy to yellow grade dungeons. First of all, it seems like they are prioritizing the evacuation of citizens…”

Secretary Jang took a moment to catch his breath and continued speaking again.

“It looks like even that won’t be easy because the escaped monsters are running rampant.”

“Hmm….”

“They said they sent a rescue team to the airport, but the building has completely collapsed, so it won’t be possible to start rescue work right away.”

“What about the CEO of Karma Corporation? “What’s the news about him?”

“It looks like that person was also trapped.”

In response, a smile slowly spread across Chairman Lee’s face.

done.

With this, all preparations are complete.

As long as CEO Kim is dead or alive, the acquisition is impossible.

Even if rescue operations begin quickly, there is no time to wait with the current situation at the Hong Kong branch.

Of course, since the management was separated, the Hong Kong branch has steadily grown. Accordingly, the quality of the hunters and the subjugation system are at a very high level…

but that only applies when the command center is functioning properly.

The Hong Kong branch was taken aback by the unexpected situation and had already failed to respond initially.

We need to deal with the escaped monsters and evacuate the citizens, but we won’t be able to do either properly at the moment.

There is only one thing they can do in such a situation.

It was a moment when I was organizing my thoughts and thinking

that all I wanted to do was ask someone for help .

“Chairman of the Association!”

Administration staff suddenly stormed into the office.

“I received a call from the Hong Kong branch!”

Finally, the news I had been waiting for came.

***

“…Yes, then please do so. thank you.”

Hong Kong branch.

Director Hwang ended the call with a trembling voice.

“What do you say?”

Control Team Leader Ryu, who had been standing next to him the whole time, asked with a shocked expression.

“They are sending additional operational forces and command personnel now. We will take over operational control as soon as we arrive here. From then on, headquarters will direct operations.”

“….”

Team Leader Ryu held back on answering for a moment.

But even for a moment.

“Branch manager, is this really okay?”

He asked cautiously, as if he was genuinely worried about the situation.

“Requesting support from headquarters? Moreover, even handing over control… they may use this incident as an excuse to try to regain control.”

“No, I will try to take it back 100%.”

“yes yes?! “If you know that, why do you support me…!”

“Can you solve this situation now?”

“….”

Team Leader Ryu seemed speechless at the sudden question and avoided answering.

“…I will do something if I have time.”

“Where is the time! There’s a monster roaming around the middle of the city right now! “The control team has no way, so what can we do to stop this?”

“Ah, no matter what, receiving support from headquarters….”

“Then what the fuck should I do! “You’re telling us to just stand by while our citizens are dying?!”

Branch Manager Hwang couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

Of course, he couldn’t have been unaware of Control Team Leader Ryu’s concerns.

But isn’t there a choice?

To begin with, the Hong Kong branch has too little experience with worst-case scenarios.

Meanwhile, the initial response failed, so the control team is now literally in a panic.

Broken command system.

They are barely able to stop the monsters and evacuate the citizens, but even that doesn’t last long.

In the worst case, Hong Kong may collapse.

“I know, fuck. We were trying to recapture them at our leisure, but since we reached out first, we will probably use our courage to recapture them. But what can I do…”

Branch Manager Hwang continued, controlling his anger.

“Shouldn’t people be saved even if they are taken away?”

“….”

Team Leader Ryu had no answer.

Instead of thinking about what to say to persuade the branch manager, he thought of an incident that happened more than 20 years ago.

During the independence movement 20 years ago.

Director Hwang always led citizens from the front line.

In the process, he lost his brother and his family.

There is no way he does not know how much sacrifice this branch has made and how important it is to Hong Kong.

No… you probably know better than anyone else.

He would have rather sacrificed his life, but he would never give up on the branch, so he requested help from the headquarters.

As long as he knew that he had not given up on the branch but had simply chosen something more important, the control team leader could no longer complain.

“For now, let’s just think about what we can do.”

Branch Manager Hwang muttered that and asked Team Leader Ryu.

“Have you checked the monster escape dungeon?”

“yes. “As expected, it was confirmed to be a red-grade dungeon that failed to be conquered initially.”

“What are the current monster trends?”

“There are a total of 19 confirmed individuals, and a 10km radius of the escape dungeon has been occupied. Fortunately, it is not a heavily populated area, but seeing as it continues to advance, it is only a matter of time before the central area is breached.”

“First of all, evacuation of citizens comes first. Build defense lines at 1km intervals in the direction the monster is moving and deploy only the minimum number of people. “Let’s just bide our time until everyone evacuates.”

“…All right.”

“Oh, what happened to the airport?”

“Rescue operations are currently underway. “I think it will take some time.”

“…okay. From now on, continue monitoring from the control room. If there is any progress, please report it immediately.”

“yes.”

Team leader Ryu bowed lightly and then turned his back.

That was when he was about to leave the office.

“…Wait a minute!”

Branch Manager Hwang seemed to have remembered something and urgently called him over.

“Did you just say that the area occupied by monsters is within a 10 km radius of the dungeon?”

“yes? Yes, it is, but…”

“Are you sure about that?

“Yes, I’m sure. “Why are you doing this?”

“No…”

Branch Manager Hwang looked quite confused.

Doesn’t that make sense?

“So that means it’s about 50km away from the airport.”

“…yes?”

At that moment, Team Leader Ryu also looked as if he had been hit.

Director Hwang opened his eyes wide and continued speaking.

“Then… who attacked the airport?”

***

“Sniff, slurp….”

In the darkness where no light comes in.

Only the cries of a few children could be heard, but no one made a sound.

It seemed like he didn’t even have the strength to open his mouth.

Several hours had passed since I was trapped under the rubble, but rescue teams had still not arrived.

Everyone was holding their cell phones and constantly trying to contact someone, but it was impossible to connect because the radio waves were cut off.

“At this rate, I can’t even request support from headquarters.”

At that time, Director Lee Ah-young also spoke while looking at the frozen cell phone screen.

“Even if we ask for support anyway, it will take a long time to get here since the airport has collapsed.”

“That’s true too.”

“Well, they must have heard the news, so they must be looking for a way.”

“Haa….”

She looked at the tight ceiling and let out a deep sigh.

“It’s already been almost 5 hours, what’s the situation outside…”

“It won’t be good. “Everything else is fine for the Hong Kong branch, but they have almost no experience with situations like this.”

Well, that’s the most critical problem.

“It would probably be too much just to evacuate citizens right away, let alone stop the monster. Of course, that won’t last long.”

“Then…”

“I think they probably would have requested support from the mainland by now.”

“…This is the worst.”

Director Lee Ah-young answered in a deep voice.

Well, that’s definitely true.

The authorities probably took over command.

If the Chinese headquarters resolves the situation like this, it is obvious that there will be no need to look further.

Before we can do anything, we will have control of the branch.

So, I have to move somehow before that…

‘Tsk, why am I stranded at a time like this?’

I kept clicking my tongue out of frustration that there was nothing I could do even though it was an urgent situation.

Kugugugugung—!

Suddenly, the collapsed rubble began to shake loudly again.

“What is it…?”

“no way… “Are you a rescue?!”

“The rescue team has arrived!”

People who had been in panic the whole time jumped up and started cheering.

But I couldn’t do that.

I have seen this phenomenon hundreds and thousands of times in my life.

“Mr. Joo Jun-woo…this can’t be right….”

“…yes.”

Director Lee Ah-young also seemed to have sensed this and asked with a frightened look on his face.

Okay, this isn’t a rescue team coming…

it’s that a dungeon is opening here.

‘Fuck, it’s times like this…’

Anyway, it’s getting annoying.
