Life Mission Chapter 40:
Life Mission
Volume 2 Chapter 40
[TN: So I lied]
“You don’t have to do this… . . ”
“I can’t receive special treatment when everyone is doing it . There’s no reason to either . ”
An observer had an uncomfortable expression . After checking Cha Jun Sung’s equipment and mission experience, the observer proposed skipping the practical test .
His equipment was of a category indicative of someone who bribes others to join a group . A few other Lifers also received this proposal .
There were people who accepted and those who rejected, and Cha Jun Sung and Park Jin Hyuk were among those who rejected .
In this situation, that was a favor . A major company giving out a favor?
Cha Jun Sung did not want to be connected to Hocheon in any way . There must be something that they want from him . He is blocking it, whatever it is .
“Phew! It’s high . ”
The roof of a 12 story building . All he needed to do was get down from here . The goal is the escape . There is nothing as quick as escape if someone has the skill .
He opened the door of the roof with a crossbow in his hand . He only needs 30 minutes .
Not coming up with a strategy? What strategy . Kill it if he is detected while going downstairs, and keep going if he is not . The only aspect he needs to pay a bit of attention to are Level 2 mutants .
“Excuse me!”
“Yes?”
“Are you just going downstairs?”
“Yes . ”
“Aren’t you going to take equipment like bombs? You’re just going with one automatic crossbow?”
The observer was taken aback by the straightforward answer . He had seen a lot of Lifers’ missions, but this is the first time someone is acting so recklessly .
When they enter missions, they rack their brains to prepare for all potential situations that could arise or equip themselves with all types of gear and crawl out .
On the other hand, test number 617, Cha Jun Sung, ignored all processes .
“It is escape, not annihilation . We need to move quietly to avoid engagement . ”
Would it be necessary to call in mutants that he does not need to fight by firing a gun?
“But still… . . ”
“Does Hocheon get involved in playing styles?”
The observer gulped . He could only assess if a Lifer is passing or eliminated, and he does not have jurisdiction beyond that . He was just worried that he would have to get involved .
“I’m going . ”
“Number 617 test is beginning . ”
The observer gave up . He thought that Cha Jun Sung was placing his trust in the gear on his body . If becomes dangerous, he could eliminate Cha Jun Sung and handle it himself .
Cha Jun Sung went down the stairs . About 300 Level 1 mutants appear in a 1000 point mission . There would be about 20 to 30 per floor .
When he arrived on the 12th floor, demons with thin arms and legs and a bulging stomach greeted him . He could not tell what they had been eating, but their mouths were messy .
An arrow embedded in its forehead . The same scene repeated a few times .
One shot, one hit . It was just one shot no matter what . Before the demons could react to the strange presence in their nest, they were dead .
A demon that had been hiding behind some shelves, flung his body at Cha Jun Sung . The observer watching from a distance pretended he did not notice . He could not get involved .
Cha Jun Sung did not even look at it and grabbed it by the neck . The demon that had been caught suddenly made a choking sound .
As its neck broke under the force of squeezing, there was the sound of cracking . Its body went limp . Cha Jun Sung threw the body .
The 12th floor was handled within moments . Even though it is a Level 1, it was done too easily . The observer fully realized that Cha Jun Sung is a true Lifer . He is not like the people who latch onto others . He is better than Hocheon’s raid leader .
10 arrows in one bundle, is 5 points . Since they are a waste to throw away, they can be taken out and reused . It is a bit uncomfortable to do, but quick .
“What are you doing?”
“It’s nothing . ”
He was about to go down to the 11th floor, but the observer was standing with a blank look .
‘Its neck… . . Would I be able to do that too?’
Level 1 mutants are weaker than humans, but breaking its neck would not be easy . The observer suspected body modification but went past it thinking that it is probably not possible .
Even the master of Hocheon only went through the 1st stage of body modification a month ago .
Since he is now preparing for the 2nd stage, it is hard to believe that a private Lifer is able to go through body modification after getting that kind of equipment .
He thought that Cha Jun Sung in front of him could not do that unless he is a world renowned Lifer . This is why stereotypes are dangerous .
“Ugh, it’s bothersome . ”
He wanted to go through the emergency stairs . But these damned helpers cannot let their Lifers take the easy route .
He suddenly remembered something funny he read on Lifer World . One Lifer had posted that he completed an escape mission by jumping off with a parachute .
As he left the mission area, a special mission was activated while it became Level D and because there was no way to go back, he had to give up the mission .
It is a scary situation where one might die, but it is funny in text .
To take a parachute off of a building, he is probably an unusual person in real life as well .
Every time they went down a floor, they met the demons living there . The numbers that ran away in fear of Cha Jun Sung’s strength increase .
They had smelled the blood coming from upstairs . Even if they lack intellect, they have instinct . This is where mutants have an advantage over humans .
After killing mutants here and there, they got closer to the 1st floor . At the same time, they detected strange movement in the front . It must be a Level 2 .
“Will you hide somewhere you can’t be seen?”
“Ah, sure . ”
The observer left . It is not necessary for him to put himself in danger to see the battle . His mission is complete just by seeing the results .
“Where are you?”
Kyak!
He even went into a shaded area on purpose with the thought, ‘I’m unprotected . I’ll give you the benefit of surprise . ’ Going further in, it bit the bait .
Cha Jun Sung tilted his head and got out of the way . A sharp toenail passed right in front of him . It was really close . He moved just the amount that he needed to . He had planned this .
“Demon Chief . ”
It is at least a head taller than he is . With its sturdy muscles, it must have muscular strength as well . A normal Lifer would not have been able to take it on with a bare body .
Cha Jun Sung looked the Demon Chief up and down and stopped on a spot . Even the cannibals covered their important parts, but this goes around naked .
The Demon Chief’s voice sounded as though it were mocking him . It made him angry .
“You’re going to executed . ”
Its crime is crushing a man’s pride . He could not forgive it .
