Chapter 48. Lightning Spear, Part II

Moscow, the Kremlin…

The flower, the heart of the Red Square was always the stage for the supreme powers of Russia.

“Contact with those on duty has been suspended! What the hell is going on?”

This fact, even in the era that the monsters appeared, did not change.

Generals.

Those with stars over their shoulders and with heavy medals above their chests, filled the tables of the most luxurious large banquet halls in the Moscow Kremlin. It was like looking at the starry night sky.

“We’re working on it now.”

“How can you say such words, ‘We’re working on it now’?”

However, the atmosphere was so gloomy that the glittering of the stars and medals were put in the shade. Everyone in the room looked stiff.

“We must somehow recover the nuclear warheads as soon as possible, before the winter is over, and start the operation!”

“Who doesn’t know that? The problem is that the people who are in the process of recovering the warheads are lost.”

“Then we need to dispatch rescue teams or search teams to figure out what’s going on!”

“We’ve put all the elites in the process of securing the warheads, and do you want me to send some ordinary soldiers where they went missing?”

On December 31, 2016, monsters appeared. It was the beginning of despair, and Russia, which had the largest territory, became the country with the most land devastated by monsters. The days had been terrible. It was only because of hope that Russia could last for a year in those days.

“So, are we going to end this operation, as it failed? Are we going to reopen it next year?”

The hope was that the moment they could cover the monsters and Zombies with the cold of Siberia, if they used the Soviet Union’s heritages throughout Russia, they could reverse the war against monsters! Furthermore, it was also Europe’s hope!

Besides Russia, there were many countries with nuclear weapons, including France and Britain in Europe. But the number of nuclear weapons possessed by France and Britain was about four hundred. On the other hand, Russia’s nuclear weapons exceed fifteen hundred in actual deployment, and the number of weapons they possessed was over five thousand.

The fact that Russia was the country with the largest number of nuclear weapons and armored power in the world was not a simple expression. Of course, if all that was blown up, mankind would be destroyed, not monsters, but it was clear that nuclear weapons seemed to be a solution to the present era.

Crucially, Russia had the largest territory in the world, and a monster named Chernovog: a purple-grade monster, the peak of monsters. Russia was at the surest experimental stage. It was an experimental stage to determine whether or not they could kill a monster of the purple grade with nuclear weapons.

From that point of view, it was no exaggeration to say that using nuclear weapons to kill Chernobog was very important not only to Russia but also to mankind. Even if the results were not good, the attempt should not fail.

Therefore, someone said, “Why don’t we ask Mao Spencer for help?”

The stars were quiet as the name Mao Spencer was mentioned. No one asked who said the name, because if someone had no contact with Mao Spencer, he would not have been able to sit here now.

“That’s dangerous talk.”

“He’ll ask for some nonsense.”

That was why the moment the Six Snakes had lost their mainland, the Russians in power had coldly cut off their relationship with Mao. The Russians in power owed too much to the Six Snakes to continue their relationship with them.

But again, would they borrow the power of the Six Snakes?

It would not be different from the sound of kicking the debtor out of the house and calling him again and borrowing more money.

Of course, no one said that that idea was good.

“Why don’t we ask the Vatican for backup?” All they could say was the next best option.

“It’s not going to be good for the Vatican to have our Russia fail like this.”

The next best option that came out was the Vatican. The Vatican, the city itself, was history and a relic, and it was the only place in the monster era that had kept its integrity without any damage. Of course, after the emergence of monsters, the leaders of each country, Europeans in power, and Awakeners were all gathered in the Vatican.

Asking for help there meant asking for help from Europe.

“They won’t be able to help us for free.”

“But it’s better than screwing up this operation. After this winter, there’s no answer. How do we wait until next winter?”

“I think it would be good to talk with them.”

Of course, there was no definite answer here. It was beyond everyone’s expectations to have such a meeting in the first place. There were only two things that were clear at this moment.

‘That’s crazy.’

‘Why are things so messed up?’

First, those who were here were in a position that they needed something.

“Mr. Mao, the Russian generals meeting is over. There was nothing special in it. They’ll send someone from Russia to the Vatican sooner or later.”

“What’s the situation of Sergei?”

“He is waiting near Lake Baikal.”

“Lake Baikal?”

“He sent a false rescue request there, and after he destroys the Far East Branch, he will return.”

“That’s his method, loving fishing.”

The Six Snakes were waiting for a gap between the leaders of Russia, who were in need of something, and they would not be still.

“And there is new news. The twins have secured a nuclear warhead. They stand by with the Terracotta Warriors. We can blow it anytime you want.”

“That’s great.”

So, the more severe winter in Europe began.

Ulan-Ude, once housing over three hundred thousand people, had now become a land where only Zombie monsters remained. A man had appeared there. The footsteps of the man in Russian military uniform were cautious.

Eueoeoeo… It was to avoid Zombie monsters that were spread like living alarms all over the place. He even exhaled carefully, the white breath covered by a mask over his mouth.

The man arrived at Ulan-Ude Station, a part of the Trans-Siberian Railway Network. All the windows were broken, and the door was broken, and Ulan-Ude station reminded him of a ghost house. It was a place he would not enter normally enter sober.

But the man in the uniform took a deep breath and went through the window into Ulan-Ude Station. The man who entered the station lowered his mask and began to make a sound with pursed lips.

Whiii, Whiii… The whistle with a strange rhythm began to flow through the quiet station of Ulan-Ude.

Whick! Whick! Not far away, a small whistle sounded, and the man, who was lowering his posture and nervous, relaxed and immediately stood up and began to walk forwards. When the man reached the spot the whistle had come from, a man with a blond hair in ancient Chinese armor was standing there. The moment the man in the Russian army uniform saw him, he stopped immediately.

The blond guy, on the other hand, smiled. “I hoped I could catch a big fish at once, but it’s not easy, either. But I’m glad I got a bite.”

At the words of Sergei, the man with blond hair, the man in the Russian army uniform did not answer. Instead, he glanced around quickly.

“I’m sorry, but your colleague is dead. No, I killed him.” Sergei delivered the terrible news to the man.

The man who was glancing around looked straight at Sergei.

Sergei whistled briefly at his eyes. “Your eyes are burning. Judging from the fact that you are here alone, you’re competent enough. The mark on your uniform says you belong to the direct command unit of Major General Vladimir, and he has raised you well.”

At that moment, the man wearing the Russian army uniform immediately held the AK-47 rifle and pointed it at Sergei.

Tututu! There was a flash of gunfire. But Sergei did not avoid the shots.

Tingting! The three shots that flew toward Sergei’s chest were crushed, not even scratching his armor. As soon as Sergei raised his arm to cover his face, he was in fact in a situation where bullets did not work.

Sergei rushed straight forward. It was an explosion, more than a rush.

Boom! With a single foot stamping down, Sergei’s body flew forward like a cannon shell.

Swish! At the same time, the Vajra in Sergei’s hand cut the air. It was a very nip and tuck movement. If the man in the military uniform hadn’t suddenly lowered his position, Sergei would have cut the man in at once.

‘He is better than expected.’ Sergei was briefly impressed with the fact, rather than embarrassed. At the same time, he understood. ‘Well, unless Major General Vladimir is a fool, he can’t send a mere rabble as the search party where the Tiger Unit has requested a rescue.’

It was not very strange for the man in front of him to avoid his attack. Of course, he was for sure that the member of the search party would never be able to avoid his second attack.

‘Luck only happens once. I will kill him right away.’

Sergei had no intention of keeping the searcher alive. If the searcher returned alive to the main camp, the big fish who Sergei wanted would not bite the hook of his fishing rod. He shouldn’t even give him a chance to scream. So, Sergei had no intent to hide his ability. Before he could complete his jump and land on the floor, he pulled out all his skills at once with full force.

Pazik! Vajra, Vasavi Shakti in his hand spewed out lightning and now had the shape of an elongated spear. It was not just a spear, but a javelin. As soon as it left its owner’s hand, the spear, like a flash that could penetrate any target the owner was aiming for, was the deadly spear of Karna, an ancient Indian myth hero, obtained from Indra, a god of lightning, in exchange for his golden armor.

Sergei, after forming the spear, landed on the floor and now looked for his target to die under this deadly weapon. He turned around, with the pose of a javelin thrower. He found the target looking at him with black eyes, instead of running away.

Swish! At the same time, a sword that had flown out from somewhere cut off Sergei’s right wrist.

Thud! His right hand, and the Vasavi Shakti that his hand was holding, fell to the floor with a clatter.

‘Ah.’ Only then did Sergei’s face begin to stiffen, feeling that something was going wrong.

“Who are you…?” Sergei managed to open his mouth through his stiff face. It was the beginning of a nightmare.

“Kim Tae-hoon.”

He, who lost his right hand and his most powerful weapon, had to deal with a monster from Korea.

“Hunter.”

Kim Tae-hoon’s eyes began to split, like those of a dragon.

==[Vasavi Shakti]

Vladimir, who confirmed the contents of the smartphone, looked up at the man in front of him.

Jang Sung-hoon, who had already annoyed Vladimir, was facing him across only one table. But it was quite different from before. Unlike that time, when it was full of playful and fun attempts to provoke his opponent anyway, Jang was more serious than ever.

“There’s no better evidence we can show you.” Jang had to be serious because he claimed that the Six Snakes and their head Mao had attacked Russia.

“But I need to hear the answer here.” And now, Jang was asking Vladimir for a choice. “Will you hold hands with us?”

At that question, Vladimir gave a long sigh that he should release at the negotiating table. But he did not regret the sigh he had spoken.

‘There is only one choice.’ He was thinking this was a threat table, not a negotiation table. It was not wrong.

Kim Tae-hoon showed his ability perfectly. He annihilated the Tiger Unit alone, and he shattered Sergei and his forces, who had set a trap. At the same time, he showed that there was an enemy who threatened and had attacked Russia.

In this situation where the enemy of the unheard-of was in front, and an overwhelmingly violent person had reached out his hand, there was no such thing as choices for Vladimir.

“What do you want from us?” All he could do was hold that hand.

At the question of Vladimir, Jang said, “Everything.”

“… then what do we have to do?” Vladimir spat out the next question.

To the question, Jang replied, making his playful and fun face. “Can you give us a false identity?”

“A false identity? What is that…”

“We need a false identity, just like Tom Cruise, who was able to enter the Moscow Kremlin with a false identity in Mission Impossible 4.”

The playful look on his face reminded Vladimir. ‘What happened to the Moscow Kremlin in Mission Impossible 4?’ At the same time, the expression on his face hardened. He remembered the scene where the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square were shattered by an explosion in Mission Impossible 4.

Jang grinned at the expression of Vladimir. “That movie was fun, wasn’t it?”
