Chapter 52: Rescue Mission

Jaehwang looked at the dashboard in front of him while Peji explained everything. There were surprisingly a lot of buttons and Peji pressed one of the nameless ones and continued to explain.

“This button was used during battles but we don’t need it now. First, the most important thing to learn would be navigation. Everyone should learn the basics, right?”

Peji said pointing to a button to the right of the driver’s seat.

“It updates you on where the monster had moved when you’re tracking it. It’s one of its most important features so keep that in mind okay?”

“Right. It’s something very important for a hunter. Taking care of the navigation is very important or else everything could go wrong.”

Peji continued to talk and Jaehwang just shook his head in agreement. The navigation tracks all of the movements in a battle, it’s something that they utilize the most.

“It would be good to put in any kind of information in regards with the monsters outside. Even though you might know where it came from, double check everything just to be sure. And for this button, never press this one. It for the update system and by pressing it once it would never do anything else except that until it’s done. And for this button…”

Deukk… Deuk… Deuk…

Peji went on until a button at the top of the dashboard flickered with a red light and made a beeping noise. He then pressed the button and they heard the voice of a woman coming out of the panel.

-…Support request… ZX5TRA193521… I repeat… Support request… ZX5TRA193521

“Side ZX… Let’s see…”

“Looks like it was an attack.”

Joonghwi said as he walked towards the driver’s seat and turned on the navigation. He then pressed a few buttons and the red light was then replaced by a blue one.

“What’s going on? I see the coordinate but… If it’s a fifth tier monster then it’ll be really dangerous.”

It sent out the information about a support request for battle. It included the target details as well as its coordinates and when interpreted, it shows that they need assistance fighting a fifth tier monster. Another problem was that there was R in the center of the monster’s number and they had no idea what it meant.

Joonghwi took a deep breath and folded his arms and Peji’s question.

“Let’s wait for 10 minutes. It will be difficult for the team. Someone could get terribly hurt.”

“Okay.”

Peji shook his head and focused on the panel.

10 minutes passed by and just as Joonghwi said, the answer for the support request appeared.

“Hm…It’s a still battle. Okay, looks like we can trust it… It’ll be a long road, let’s work hard.”

“Yes, sir.”


The road to the Justin point was long and boring, the dreary environment of the Alousu didn’t’ help as well. The bus had a hard time going down the steep slope and everyone felt like that they had just spent thirty minutes moving around in circles.

A patrol mission was surprisingly boring. Things have been quite dull after the first day when they went to destroy the oaks but that wasn’t just a normal oak patrol battle. Two-thirds of their troops would remain inside the military bus every day and there was nothing left for them to do. There were no places where they could wash up and there were no bathrooms inside the bus.

They would set up cots when they sleep and even though they weren’t tired the next day as much as before, Jaehwang still wasn’t sure if we would make it out of the Alousu in the end.

Of course, he had a reason for that but after spending so much time inside of the military bus with the other members, he wanted something new.

“Starting from here to here, we’ll push ahead.”

Jina said as she pointed her finger onto the destination that appeared on the tablet. Numerous zigzag lines had then started to appear on top of it.

“Peji, the route is set up well so we should avoid any contact with a monster. It should be fine because even the monsters try to avoid us. But in the meantime, until we get there, keep your eyes peeled since there could be a high ranked monster lurking somewhere.”

“Okay.”

“Any questions?”

Jina asked and the destination that showed on Jaehwang’s tablet pointed towards the south which was covered by a black shadow.

“What about here?”

“Hmm… that’s Daesurim. We should avoid that as much as we can. If we go any further that way then we could run into a swarm of fifth or seventh tier monsters… and on the west, there’s an ocean and a dead end.”

“I see.”

Jaehwang shook his head and looked at the place covered with the black shadow. That was the place that Jaehwang lived during his two years of stay in the Alousu. It was a deep and endless sea of giant trees. That was the place where he used to hunt fifth tier monsters. The giant that saved him from that bird never left him alone until the day where he made his escape.

Someone then came and asked him a question.

“And by the way, do you have a girlfriend?”

Jina asked nudging his shoulder. He then looked up and answered.

“Yes.”

She looked at him with curiosity but after his answer, she hesitated and straightened out her back.

“Oh… Of course… that’s great.”

She looked a little sad but she soon fixed her expression.

“Where do you live? Seoul?”

“Yes.”

Jaehwang just quickly answered all her questions but she continued to talk and asked him more questions.

“Jina, It’s your turn.”

He said after tapping Jina on her shoulder. She checked the time and walked up the ladder leading to the room with disappointment. Jaehwang soon started stretching and then Peji glanced over.

“You can relax. That’s a newcomer.”

“I can’t.”

Jaehwang didn’t think that his influence had fallen but he knew that they would think differently of if they knew more. Peji was in the veteran army of Gagseogs so Jaehwang could relax around him but the presence of Jungkuk and Mingyu still makes him uncomfortable. The main reason was that he thought that they were just acting this way because they knew that he was GwanJae’s grandson.

Joonghwi was a level four ranked hunter in the platoon and aside from that, he was also a Debauzer with mysterious abilities. Jaehwang didn’t seem powerful at first but even though he proved himself, they weren’t happy with it.

“You’re our friend helping us on this mission. You’re not like the others, it’s okay to relax.”

Junguk then glanced over towards Jaehwang who gave back a strange look. He didn’t know him well but he still agreed to what he said.

“Wow, you’re with the Gagseog army. Your name…?”

“Mau Dongchol… I’ve been in the Gagseog army for three years so far. I have spent my time searching in the Seoul gate.”

Jaehwang felt anxious so he asked him a question. It has been a long time since he had a talk with his friend. He tried to contact him many times when they went on their separate ways. All that he mentioned was that he had the gagseog procedure and investigated a gate, more of their past seemed vague.

“Dongchol…Dongchol….”

He kept repeating his name to make sure that he was his childhood friend.

“Do I know you?”

“I don’t think so.”

They had no time to waste. He decided to go alone with nothing but the help of GwanJae and his friend Dongchol seemed to have strangely forgotten about their past.

“Take this, it’s a communication network just in case anyone has a question.”

“Thanks.”

Jaehwang received the communication network from Jonguk and bowed. They didn’t want anyone to die but just in case something happened they would need a way to alert the others.

They then heard a familiar voice from the dashboard.

-…Rescue request… ST5TRA239411… I repeat… Resque request… ST5TRA239411

“A rescue request.”

Joonghwi said with a serious tone. The support request and the rescue request were wrong. It seems that they had made a mistake when they had called for support in their raid.

“Where’s the observer? Was it a small scale battle? Ugh, Let’s take a look first, we can’t act as if we haven’t already come all this way. Everyone! Prepare for battle, it’s a fifth tier monster. Jongkuk, Mingyu, and Hyungjoo, get that machine gun ready. It might end up to be settled by hand-to-hand combat but inspect each of your weapons. Jaehwang and Minyeong, prepare to gather the casualties!”

“Got it!”

Everyone listened to Joonghwi’s orders and moved. Jaehwang and Mingyeong also got to work on their task. Dust had gathered on her fingers as she packed her weapons from inside her locker. Everyone was moving quickly but she was just there standing blankly. Jaehwang noticed that something was wrong.

“Are you okay?”

He placed his hand on her shoulder. She was startled but she got back her focus thereafter and went on to pack her things again.

“Uh, yeah… I’m fine.”

She said she was okay but she looked extremely pale.

Jaehwang then turned over to let Joongwhi know.

“I don’t think Mingyeong is feeling so well…”

Mingyeong then looked back at Jaehwang and shouted.

“I-I can do it!”

Joonghwi then walked towards them to see what was wrong. He then took a close look at her face to see if there was any problem.

“You should stay here and rest.”

“I can do it!”

“You need to stay! You can help with the dashboard.”

She didn’t want to disobey Joonghwi so she went towards the dashboard. Her face turned red, she scowled at him and yelled at Jaehwang again.

“What’s your problem! I’m fine… Ugh!”

“Okay relax everyone. We can’t turn back, everyone needs to be in good health.”

Everything then settled down and they were able to continue on with the preparations.

“We can do it you guys. Let’s take it slow.”

Mingyeong shook her head in disappointment. He walked over to her and gave her a pat on her shoulder.
