“Did you say Jageun? Your javelin throwing skills were extraordinary.”

” I didn’t gain much muscle, but it’s amazing that I just pierced the head of the contaminant.”

The battle ended and the troops gathered by my side.

They each said something and handed it to me, patting me on the shoulder.

The scent of a cool man was in the air.

So I didn’t feel very good.

It’s nice to be praised, but I wondered why I had to receive it from a man.

I wanted to quickly finish the mission and see my broker sister.

“Did you say it was a full house request center? I don’t think it’s the place for a talented person like you… Do you owe anything there?”

A bald man asked.

You seemed very interested in the famous request office earlier, but I guess it’s a shame that I’m carrying out my duties at the Full House Request Center.

“I chose the location of the referral center because I liked it.”

“The way I see it.. it looks like you can meet a fixer in Legend or Black.. then you can handle bigger things than these chores.”

“Haha…I’m not interested in such big things. I don’t have the skills or ability to do that. Doing small chores suits me too.”

“Humble.. If you made that choice, yes. Well, if you stay in the military for a long time, it’s worth avoiding intense places.”

Actually, it was to have sex with Jenny’s older sister, but the bald man interpreted it in a different way.

To clear up any misunderstandings, I had to say that I was working because of a beautiful woman.

But there’s no need to talk about it.

If I said that I was being asked to do it because of a woman, word of mouth would spread and Jenny would eventually suffer, so I decided to hide my ambition as much as possible.

“Uh, what did the company say?”

While there was a small conversation going on, the captain who had gone into the factory came back.

“They said they would give additional compensation.”

“Oh.. After all, negotiation is the boss.”

“The company also thought that if we left here, there would be no combatants to defend us, so they would compensate us as much as possible.”

“Did you see that far?”

“Oh~ I will always be with the former captain~”

“Me too. Haha.”

“Disgusting guys..”

It was a combat unit whose commander’s authority seemed quite strong.

Even though they were carrying out a mission in a barren land that no one else was doing, everyone seemed happy.

Perhaps it was because of my memories from my old unit, but I felt the man’s affection in my heart.

Ah..no..

I shook my head again and came to my senses.

Men’s affection is a mess… I’m only Jenny noona!

“And..Park Ja-geun.”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you turn all the pollutants into skewers by yourself? They said they would give a special reward to the request center and you.”

“Is that so? That’s good.”

“It is true that we were comfortable working alone just now. So, if you are having trouble or want to take a break, please let me know at any time. I’ll guarantee it right away.”

When I first saw the captain, he tasted like food, but he seemed impressed by the way he fought against the pollutants earlier and tried to take care of me.

Really, what is this?

I was able to forgive all of my initially cold reactions.

I guess I was wrong to be a bad guy.

“Rest in an appropriate place. That’s all it takes.”

“I understand. If you are hungry, just take out the combat rations from the digital box over there and eat them.”

“Thank you.”

It’s combat food.

I wanted to try it for the first time in a long time, so I immediately went to a place where there was a digital box.

Is this food..?

When I opened the digital box, I saw countless pieces of paper as thin as A4.

I touched one of them, and a hologram picture of food appeared on the box lid.

“I recommend the lobster chicken cutlet. The taste of lobster is amazing.”

“Is that so.”

A bald man quietly stood next to me and recommended a food menu.

I found the lobster chicken cutlet and took out the paper.

Then he said, ‘Shake it with all your might.’ I was shaken wildly by the phrase.

“Hehe.. I guess you did some exercise at night? It’s pretty fast to shake it.”

“It’s good to be young.”

I was told to shake it with all my might, and I did so while other unit members looked at me with envy.

Guys… what are you thinking when you see me shaking it?

-Tiring~

As I was shaking my combat rations, I heard the sound of a table bell ringing when the food was served at some restaurant.

At some point, the small A4 paper swelled and became as big as a pillow.

‘Insert your fingers and spread them apart’ where you can see from the red dot in the middle. After seeing the words, I grabbed the bulging combat rations and opened them.

“Oh..”

It smelled delicious inside.

When I opened the inside, the lobster chicken cutlet that I had seen in the hologram earlier appeared inside.

“Eat deliciously.”

“I will eat well.”

I sat down in a suitable spot while looking at the place where the pollutants were approaching earlier.

I had a meal while looking at the desolate wasteland.

“Captain, I’m going to take a rest.”

“See you later.”

“Yes~”

Unit members with tired-looking faces entered the factory.

It must have been in this position for a long time.

The most important thing during work was self-management.

Pollutants are pollutants, but people also had to fight against fatigue.

I had to manage stress as well as hunger.

This was also the reason why there were occasional gun accidents in the unit or people who got angry and accidentally opened a grenade.

“Why don’t you go in and close your eyes?”

A bald man yawned and came next to me and suggested I take a break.

“I’m fine. We just have to protect the factory until tomorrow. I’m still guarding this place.”

I said I would stay here because it felt like an old guard station.

But the bald man seems worried about me.

“Isn’t that too much of an effort? He said that the battle earlier was hard all by himself and then he collapsed.”

“It’s okay. Because he’s talented.”

Even if I didn’t take care of my body, I was still in good shape.

Because he was continuously recovering thanks to blood magic.

“Even if I don’t sleep for a few days, I’m fine.”

“Ah? okay? As expected, he is a talented person.”

“If you are tired, I can help you with my ability.”

“Really? I’d like to get it sometime.”

The bald man held out his muscular arm as if he was curious about my abilities.

I created blood magic on the bald man.

Although there was no change on the outside, I could see the area under the man’s haggard eyes becoming brighter.

“Oh.. my body feels refreshed. It feels like I woke up from sleep..!”

The bald man shook his body and stretched, perhaps because his mind was becoming clearer.

“Cooker, quickly go in and sleep.”

“Captain! I will work longer! Hahaha.”

“…Why do you do that? Have you had any alcohol?”

“No, I’m totally energized thanks to my abilities!”

The captain looked at the bald man as if he didn’t understand.

This is a bald man explaining the blood magic he received from me earlier.

The captain puts his hand on his chin and glances at me.

The captain seems to be secretly curious about my strength.

But other than the bald man, no one asked me to recover my stamina.

They didn’t bother me because they thought it would be a nuisance to me.

I suddenly felt like a terminally ill sergeant.

It seems like the battle with the pollutants earlier helped a lot.

***

As time passed, the night began to gradually become dark.

It was a boring day watching the back of the factory all day.

While I was in a daze, the captain approached me.

“Are you not tired?”

“Not at all. I’m fine.”

“It’s good to have the ability… I close my eyes several times a day.”

He handed me a coffee can and was puffing on a cigarette.

“Phew…now the factory will start operating soon.”

“The pollutants we saw earlier will come.”

“The types of contaminants will definitely be different. There are more types of pollutants than you might think, so it is difficult to deal with them without a professional.”

“You’re a contaminant expert.. are you here too?”

“The bald guy over there is quite serious about the pollution.”

Bald guy…

Now that I think about it, he saw that the bullet didn’t work and immediately guessed what grade of pollutant it was.

“It seems like it is playing an important role.”

“He is an indispensable talent in our unit.”

Soon after, a loud noise rang out from inside the factory.

Let’s start emitting smoke into the dark night sky.

Those guarding the factory also began to get nervous.

“What is the pollutant?”

“Not visible yet.”

“I guess it’s a luckier day than I thought.”

There was nothing to be seen beyond the fence.

Just when I was thinking that my first mission might be fun.

As I felt the red energy, I got goosebumps.

“No. Something is approaching.”

“Hey, you can’t see anything? Even the mines are fine.”

“But.. I feel it. Many things are coming.”

“…No way. Leader! scan! Scan!”

The bald man must have thought what I said was a joke, so he hurriedly called the captain.

“I understand!”

The captain operated the machine on the back of his arm, and a holographic light bomb exploded in the air.

Then, invisible contaminants began to appear one by one on the wasteland.

“Contaminants that do not react to land mines…”

“I almost got bored! Cloaking pollutant! They are level 3!”

“Hold your rifle! Concentrate your firepower on the approaching contaminants first to prevent them from entering the factory!”

Unlike the pollutants I saw in the morning, it had the invisible form of a wild wolf.

They smelled the protein gas rising from the factory and began to storm in.

Raise your rifle and aim and fire at the running contaminants.

The pollutants fell one by one before they could even approach.

It seemed like they had succeeded in defending the factory.

But the battle began to drag on.

“Captain! The numbers are getting bigger and bigger!”

“Foil! Let’s use a turret!”

“Lazeo.”

When a unit member who looked like an engineer touched the tent-covered object, an automatically assembled turret was completed.

“Take a taste of the new PX-99.”

The turret began spewing fire from its muzzle as its laser sight took aim at the approaching contaminants.

Unlike a typical rifle, it had tremendous firepower.

They were approaching in overwhelming quantity, but when the turret moved, they could not get close at all.

-bang!!

“Hmm..!? Mine… Captain! Contaminants with special skin that we saw earlier during the day are also visible one by one!”

“I will take care of them.”

“Please!”

I thought I would stop it without even using my hands, but it seemed like it was time to pay for the meal.

Strongly throws a red spear made of blood and turns the approaching snake-headed pollutants into skewers.

I wondered if the tide would turn.

-Cow! Kwaaang!”

“Hmm!? What..what..!”

When multiple land mines suddenly exploded at once, everyone reacted to the ground shaking.

“Um..what is that..”

“Ah..ah…!”

A huge monster shape began to appear through the black dust.

“5…Level 5 pollutant.. Mutant creature..”

The bald man looked at the huge pollutant with a despairing expression and spoke.
