The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 18

#Episode 18. Siege (1)

Kim Dong-gil went down the stairs without thinking, as if he was possessed by madness.

Inside the stairs, the sound of dozens of footsteps was already loud.

He was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and dozens of people followed behind him.

You can see the staircase door to the first floor in front of you.

Kim Dong-gil opened the door without hesitation.

Bam!

When I opened the door, a hallway appeared.

I had to go through the hallway to get to the main hall.

On the other side, a glass door was visible, covered in black smoke.

“Hoo… … ! Hoo… … !”

His heart started pounding like crazy and his breathing became rapid.

He walked slowly and leaned against the corner.

The members of the Blue Team followed him and hid themselves against the wall.

Kim Dong-gil just stuck his head out and looked at the main hall.

Perfect silence.

It matched the eerie silence I had felt on the third floor.

The only noise that could be heard was from the escalator on the other side.

First, let them jump out and cause a commotion, and only then will they target the Red Team from behind.

And at the end of the sacrifice, victory will be achieved.

Kim Dong-gil said about the people who followed him.

“Get ready, everyone. Take good care of your lights. And remember what I just said.”

The people nodded nervously.

There is a lesson from the third floor.

If the Pia identification is not made, the Blue Team will once again be fighting amongst themselves.

Kim Dong-gil came up with a clever idea through that lesson.

Just cut the left sleeve of the top with a knife.

That was the proof that it was the Blue Team.

Kim Dong-gil swallowed dry saliva.

‘This is the end.’

Just dodge the guns.

Anyway, if it’s a crossbow, it won’t be of much use at close range.

The only melee weapons the enemies have are probably batons.

There were many unopened products in the sealed containers placed in each bathroom, the janitor’s break room, and throughout the store.

Kim Dong-gil is a branch manager at a large shopping mall.

The situation has already been assessed to that extent.

At that moment, light began to shoot out from the escalator on the other side.

The Blue Team’s troops began pouring down the escalator.

‘come.’

Kim Dong-gil sent out signals to his people to prepare and just waited for them to charge.

Soon a crowd of people poured down the escalator.

Their desperate cries echoed throughout the store.

“Eww-!!!!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”

“AAAAAHHHH!!!!”

The people of the Blue Team pour out, each screaming.

That moment.

The crossbow was fired.

Although it was not visible to the naked eye, it was possible to confirm that a member of the Blue Team had been hit by an arrow and fallen.

“Ahhhh!”

Another scream.

Soon the Red Team’s camp was visible through the flashlights fired by the people.

The Qing team, having confirmed the enemy’s position in front of them, could not help but despair.

The barricade, made up of double-layered display shelves, was nearly 2 meters high.

There was a castle in a square shape based on the square area of the store.

They built a defensive zone in a narrow area that could be easily defended by a small number of people.

The sight was shocking and surprising at first glance.

And above them, dozens of Red Team members, holding spears and waiting, aimed their spears at the approaching Blue Team.

It was a siege.

* * *

The Blue Team, who had been running while screaming, were dumbfounded the moment they encountered the magnificent barricade.

“Huh… …?”

“uh……?”

I thought that after the game ended, the Hong team would rest.

So I thought that if I attacked them all at once, I could defeat them all at once.

But now, at this moment, I realized that those thoughts were complacent.

When people encounter something unfamiliar and strange, their thought processes momentarily stop.

That’s exactly the situation the Blue Team is in right now.

And for the Hong team, who had prepared and planned everything, the current situation was by no means an ‘unfamiliar’ or ‘strange’ sight.

Because everyone was just waiting to face this situation.

“Now is the time!”

As soon as Kang Shi-on shouted, the spearmen on the display all threw their spears at once.

Swish, swish!

The creative hit rate was significantly low.

Because the Hong team also never threw a window or killed anyone.

Even if you hit a sledgehammer, it doesn’t have enough penetrating power to kill a person.

But Zion had anticipated all of that.

The Hong team’s strategic weapons were the ‘castle’ and the unexpectedly-appearing ‘crossbow’.

The three men holding crossbows began shooting arrows simultaneously.

Shushu shuk!

The accuracy of arrows was several times that of spears.

Moreover, Lee Ju-yeon, who was a former special forces sniper, had truly outstanding shooting skills.

Bang! Bang!

One per foot.

The people on the blue team who were hit by arrows fell down one by one.

“Ahhhhh!”

“Kuaaaah!!!”

Their desperate groans spread far and wide.

At that groan, several members of the Red Team groaned or trembled with guilt.

Every time, Kang Shi-on shouted.

“Don’t hesitate!”

Under his leadership, people began to feel guilty one by one.

From the moment they entered this game, they had no choice.

A slingshot shot through the air towards the Blue Team.

Several people fell down after being hit by spears, and several more fell after being hit by arrows.

The Blue team, which had rushed forward as the vanguard, was quickly torn apart and began to scatter.

But he didn’t back down like that.

The Blue team was also in a desperate situation.

Kim Dong-gil watched quietly from behind, then struck the head of a running man from the Blue Team with an axe.

“Ugh!”

Push! Pushout!

Oh, with a thud, the man fell down, bleeding.

The Qing teams that had been running away together could not help but be astonished at what they encountered.

All the people who had come rushing down from the stairwell were pointing their weapons at the same team members who had come down from the escalator.

Kim Dong-gil killed people without any hesitation and threatened them by pulling out the bloody axe.

“If you run, I’ll kill you. All you’re allowed to do is knock down that display case. Now, charge.”

“This… this… Xbaal… … !”

“We’re on the same team! Huh?!? How could this be happening!”

“Since we’re on the same team, don’t we each have our own roles?! We’re going to attack as the last ones. We’re going to attack too! Damn it!”

People on the stairs shouted in support of Kim Dong-gil.

In any case, the blue team had to break down the red team’s castle.

Sacrifice was absolutely necessary.

In that situation, Kim Dong-gil chose to sacrifice a small number of people.

“Euuuuu… … ! Euuuuuu… … !”

“fu*k… …fu*k!!”

“You guys… …just wait and see!”

People who got off the escalator had no choice but to go back.

Dying one way or another was the same.

But at least if they could break down the Red Team’s defenses, there would still be some chance of survival for them.

That’s why I had no choice but to charge.

“Eww!!!”

“Ahhhhhhh-!!!”

The blue team attacked again.

The Red Team’s men were already preparing for a second counterattack.

And the fierce, brutal, cruel, and bitter battle continued for a while.

* * *

Swish!

An arrow flew and struck the heart of a running woman.

The woman fell forward weakly, bleeding profusely.

I immediately pulled back the loose rubber band and placed the arrow into the groove.

The rubber band was pulled and secured to the finger.

It was similar to the principle of a slingshot.

Swish-! Bang!

Hit again.

But after a few steps, the end of the rubber band began to loosen and stretch.

Now, even when I pulled all the way, the band did not completely seal.

The crossbow’s durability is almost depleted.

It was an unavoidable situation, but because the situation was so urgent, I just felt bad about it.

The Blue team continued to throw themselves at the barricade.

Some people charged at the barricade even after being shot several times in the body with arrows.

The Blue team stood close to the barricade and tried to push the display case down.

But that level of force isn’t enough to break down the barricade.

Because the display shelves have already been connected with nails.

But that couldn’t keep the barricade from collapsing forever.

Above all else.

We didn’t have much time, and we did the best we could in the limited time we had, but the result was ‘sloppy’.

But if it weren’t for this ‘sloppiness’, we would all have died here.

Without exception, every single one.

“Eww!!!”

Phew!

The red team on the display stand stabbed the blue team stuck to the barricade with a pair of sledgehammers.

A man was pushed against a barricade when a spear pierced his skull and he fell down.

Another woman tried to push against the barricade again, stepping over the body, but was struck in the left shoulder by a spear and fell in pain.

at the same time.

A young man from the Red Team on the left stabbed a spear with a sledgehammer, and his head was split in half by an enemy-hurled disaster axe.

At that moment, blood spurted out and splashed onto my left cheek.

“Uh… … Uh-huh… … .”

Kutang!

The young man from the red team fell backwards and died.

I shut my eyes tightly.

It was an expected result.

It was by no means an unexpected situation.

But when I actually faced that situation, it was true that I was afraid.

More than anything, the fear that I could die like that made my hands and feet tremble.

Every time that happened, I bit my lower lip hard.

Gulp, enough to make blood flow.

At that moment, the enemy’s shouts grew louder.

Kugu Palace!!!!

The barricade guarding the left side began to move backwards.

The enemies were determined to break down the barricade even at the risk of death.

That resolution finally took effect.

Soon the left barricade collapsed.

“Waaaaaaah!”

“Gyaaaah!!!”

The Red Team members on the left barricade fell down and crashed down.

The Blue Team didn’t miss their chance and stabbed the fallen Red Team members with their knives.

Pok, pok, pok, pok!

These sounds sounded cruel.

This theory didn’t work.

Looking at the distant store, there was Kim Dong-gil looking at me with a strange smile.

That day, I first learned that a person can have such a creepy laugh.

Beside them, dozens of blue teams were throwing all kinds of hard objects.

A lot of objects flew into the air.

The objects they threw flew towards both the red and blue teams.

Things didn’t go well.

‘This won’t work.’

I quickly put the crossbow bolt back into its slot.

As my mind became more anxious, things did not go as planned.

After dropping the arrow several times, I finally managed to get it into its slot and aim forward.

I pulled the band with all my might, trying to aim at Kim Dong-gil, who was far away.

A demonstration was held soon after.

But at that moment, the band hanging on the nail was torn.

WHACK!

The arrow that was about to fly as the band tore also fell forward without any strength.

Eventually, the crossbow’s durability ran out.

And before my eyes, a man from the Blue Team with venom in his eyes was climbing the barricade.

“Eww… …! Ewww!!!! Die!!!”

The man’s eyes were bloodshot and a crossbow bolt was lodged in his right arm.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

And the man from the blue team covered in blood ran towards me, screaming like an animal.

“Gyaaaaaaah!”

The man threw himself at me, pointing a knife at me, and I fell backwards along with him.

thud!

It was a fall from a 2m high barricade head on.

“100 million……!”

The back of my head hit the hard floor hard, and I almost lost consciousness for a moment.

The man in front of me was climbing onto my stomach, holding a knife in both hands and aiming for my heart.

While I was coming to my senses, I tried to stop him by stretching my hands here and there.

Boom!

Soon all the barricades fell down.

The Hong team’s castle had fallen.

* * *

‘Okay… …Okay!’

Kim Dong-gil, who had been watching quietly, clenched his fist.

The blue team, who had been at the receiving end of the flood, charged at the red team with venom in their eyes and soon seized the opportunity to win.

That ‘urgency’ was exactly what the Blue Team needed.

The blue team didn’t feel as desperate as the red team because they thought they had the upper hand.

Without urgency, people eventually become lax.

But now the Blue team has realized their desperation and have finally seized the opportunity to win.

Kim Dong-gil looked around at the waiting team and shouted.

“Now everyone, charge! Kill them all without exception!”

As soon as he shouted, the remaining Qing team’s troops charged at once.

The remaining members of the Blue Team rushed into the battlefield where the Blue and Red Teams were tangled and tangled, and the battlefield was filled with broken barricades and blood.

As the reserve force rushed there, the Hong team was helpless and could do nothing.

One by one, both of them started to die.

Even though it was a dark space, there was no confusion among the blue team.

The Blue team maintained their momentum and pushed on quickly.

A veritable massacre began to unfold.

The Blue team formed groups of two or three and killed the cornered Red team one by one.

In this place where there was only darkness, at this point when the eyes had not yet adjusted to the darkness, the massacre in the darkness was truly a disaster.

Now, no one here remembers the days when they were social people.

There are also office workers who skip breakfast every morning and get scolded by their boss on their way to work.

There is also a high school senior who goes to school every day, sits at a desk from 9 AM to 10 PM, and studies every day.

There is also a housewife who takes care of her husband and children every day, does housework all day long, and helps them while sweating profusely.

There was also an old man who used to sit in the pavilion of his apartment building with me every lazy afternoon and play baduk.

Here, everyone was just a beast.

They bit each other.

When in danger, he would stick his fingers into his opponent’s eyeballs, and even while dying, he would bite and chew on his opponent’s earlobe.

He covered the mouth of the person who was screaming for help with his palm and stabbed him repeatedly in the stomach with a knife.

Blood and carnage.

In it, Kim Dong-gil laughed.

It was a laughter that was solely focused on his own victory.

“It’s all over… … It’s all over… … This is it… … It’s the end… … !”

Thud, thud.

He walked into it.

The path he walked was filled with bloody footprints.

Kim Dong-gil, who was possessed by madness, struck down everyone who came near him with an axe.

Pick pick, people falling one by one.

Amidst those sounds, Kim Dong-gil climbed over the collapsed barricade and entered the garrison.

“Haha. Hahahahahahaha!”

His laughter filled the store.

And the screams and groans filled the air.

And just as his laughter was about to end, another loud noise was heard.

To be exact, it was the sound of a gunshot.

Taang-!

A single gunshot.

The gunshot soon drowned out all other sounds.

Groans, screams, the sound of something breaking, shouts, everything was swallowed up by the sound of gunfire.

Kim Dong-gil, startled, quickly scanned the battlefield with the flashlight he was holding in his hand.

And the pillar of light coming from the flashlight soon illuminated ‘that man’.

“Haa… … Haa… … Haa… … .”

The knife stuck in his thigh, the bright red blood flowing down his leg through the wound, his tired eyes and his right hand pressing down on his injured thigh, and at the same time, the Smith & Wesson .38 he was holding in his left hand, and even the smoke coming out of the revolver’s muzzle.

Kang Shi-on was aiming his gun while breathing heavily.

The man from the blue team who was shot fell to the ground.

Absolute weapon.

It was the appearance of guns.

A second gunshot was heard shortly afterwards.

Taang-!
