Evolution Theory of the Hunter - Chapter 166

“How?”

“Like this.”

Click.

I lightly flicked my finger.

A large switch then appeared on the overhead console.

Once I pushed up the switch the wheels inflated like an airbag.

Amphibious Wheels (3) : Allows driving on water.

The identity of this is none other than an additional option of the van. It was a 50 EP item that I bought from the Delta Store. Thinking about how the van itself is 100 EP it’s a tremendous price that reaches half of that. It doesn’t really feel that expensive but it was the only hope in this kind of situation.

The van that was sinking into the bottom of the ocean started floating up.

Of course, there’s no way a normal van would be able to function properly after sinking to the bottom of the ocean but this wasn’t a normal van in the first place.

An approved item means that it’s free from almost all physical damage of reality. So of course it wouldn’t have any problems or rust after falling into water.

Someone put their hand on my shoulder. It was An Gyu-bum.

He opened his mouth with sparkling arms.

“How much is this?”

“Is that really important right now?”

Did he really think that anything could be done with money.

This was something that couldn’t be installed without the Delta Store.

The Snow Chain was fine because it just had to be linked to the wheel but this physically tampered with the van after all.

No, maybe this guy would be able to find some method……?

Black dots appeared at the top of the cliff with a tremendous sound.

It was Baek Gyeong.

Even if those guys were copies of a level 10 hunter or something it wouldn’t be easy for them to jump down from a 100 meter high cliff.

Even if they were to jump off it would be difficult for them to show their full power. Unless they had some kind of swimming skill. And Baek Gyeong didn’t have such a skill as far as I knew.

I didn’t jump into the ocean without thinking you see.

Either way, I was thinking that we barely survived.

An outrageous amount of energy that even shook the atmosphere started gathering with those guys as the center.

I finally realized something.

A Hadron Cannon fired by 90 Baek Gyeongs all at once.

I stepped on the gas as much as possible.

The wheels spun at great speed and cut the water.

It didn’t become as fast as when going on a road but it was still at least over 60 km per hour.

But would it be enough with this?

No.

It was impossible no matter how I thought about it.

90 Baek Gyeongs would be able to completely raze the nearby ocean to the ground.

There was only one option left for me.

I pulled down the switch that had newly appeared.

The wheels that became large shrunk and caused the van to sink back into the ocean.

It was suffocating as I slowly got sucked into the dark ocean depths.

We might have sunken 10 meters or so?

The ocean started boiling up with a tremendous amount of light above the surface of the water.

The ocean got turned upside down and the van also got flipped.

The surroundings couldn’t be seen at all due to the great amount of bubbles.

“Urg.”

An Gyu-bum and Jeon Min-jeong who were standing got tangled up in the van and crashed here and there.

“Hurry up and wear your seatbelts!”

“Urg. Damn it. I got it!”

Around the time the two somehow sat down and put their seatbelts on in the van that kept shaking.

Vision returned to the driver’s side all of a sudden.

My mouth opened wide at the scene that entered my eyes.

“Ah…….”

The ocean dozens of meters high was split into two.

The floor of the ocean could be seen. The ocean wasn’t able to fill the empty area because of the powerful electromagnetic field produced by the Hadron Cannons.

The miracle produced by 90 Baek Gyeongs.

The Baek Gyeongs that created such a miracle jumped off one by one.

“This is ridiculous.”

Even Edward looked at that scene with his mouth wide open.

Anyone would be overwhelmed by such a scene.

We would really get killed by Baek Gyeong if I stared absent mindedly like this.

I pulled up the switch and made the van move on the ocean.

I then jumped on to the road of miracle.

It felt like my intestines were turning when the van landed on the ground.

Put the wheels back to normal.

I ignored the Baek Gyeongs following from behind and stepped on the gas.

Hadron Cannons were fired from behind and caused explosions.

However, Baek Gyeong wasn’t able to follow the van in terms of raw speed.

As such, it should be possible to increase the gap by driving to the end of this road and then escaping back into the ocean.

Cold sweat fell like a waterfall.

Even An Gyu-bum didn’t open his mouth in such a situation.

It probably means that he can distinguish the time and location.

The van’s RPM reached 10,000.

Even so the van’s interior was as quiet as could be.

It had good riding quality, low noise, it can’t be helped but be called perfect. It felt like I was advertising though.

Either way, I let out a sigh of relief at Baek Gyeong’s figure that could be seen from the back mirror getting further away.

A Baek Gyeong then appeared while splitting space.

I remembered a skill that I forgot due to being preoccupied by the Hadron Cannon.

Dimension Gate : Rips space apart to open a dimensional entrance. Allows long distance movement.

“Damn it!”

I hurriedly turned the handle. My reaction time when timed probably wouldn’t pass 0.01 seconds. But the location was far too close.

Baek Gyeong’s body was sent flying roughly.

I confirmed Baek Gyeong’s corpse that was rolling on the ground without a head.

“He sure is dumb. To jump in front of a driving car.”

Edward said so as a light smile appeared on his mouth.

Baek Gyeong was in a hurry as well. He tried to teleport as rushed as he was an ended up in front of the van.

But the van’s speed was already reduced.

And Baek Gyeongs appeared from here and there as they split space apart.

It was already impossible to run away.

I hurriedly skimmed through the Delta Store.

Was there an item that could help overcome such a situation?

There was Internal Space Expansion, Exterior Plate Reinforcement and Booster attached as additional options to the van.

But they were currently locked. Even if they were all added I didn’t think that it would be possible to run away from Baek Gyeong.

“Is there no other choice but to fight in the end.”

It was the option I wanted to avoid the most. To fight a battle against 90 level 10 Baek Gyeongs.

I glanced at the back. I might have to toss those guys as bait and escape.

If I ended up in a desperate situation.

Would I be able to do so?

No, I didn’t take out all my cards yet.

I opened the item list.

The monster army of 2,000 was waiting for my orders inside.

If I used them up it should be possible to open up a path somehow.

I was thinking like that when I could see something shining in the sky above.

I had an incredibly bad feeling about this.

The moment I realized it was a missile, it exploded with a flash.

“Ahhh!”

A scream came out unintentionally as the van flew up.

I didn’t scream even at the Hadron Cannon’s might but I couldn’t help it. Because I knew what a missile was like after all. A scream had come out on reflex.

Red flames embraced the surroundings. Is it fire after water.

I moved the van for now to escape the center of the explosion.

However.

With sounds that seemed like it would destroy my eardrums explosions appeared one after another.

In a situation where I couldn’t grasp what was happening I couldn’t do anything besides driving the van.

The van that barely managed to escape the missile barrage crashed into the cliff of water.

I operated the switch to float to the top of the ocean and turned my head to see the situation at the back.

As the electromagnetic field made by the Hadron Cannons slowly disappeared the ocean was slowly gathering towards the center while the Baek Gyeongs that got caught up in the explosions died off.

Even the fact that they were vulnerable to firearms despite their strength was similar to human hunters.

“Is it over now.”

The dead Baek Gyeong numbered ten.

The rest were still on the cliff or were in the process of running away.

I didn’t know where the missiles came from but they had saved our lives.

Even if they were missiles they weren’t long range use. I only got a glimpse of it but it was about 3 meters long.

It was too small to be a cruising missile but too big to be a tank missile.

It didn’t seem like the range would pass dozens of kilometers either.

“What was that explosion just now?”

An Gyu-bum rose from his seat while taking off his seatbelt.

“Can you not tell even after seeing it?”

“Was it some kind of magic?”

Ah. I guess it was too fast for this guy to be able to see it.

As I explained simply An Gyu-bum opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“Missiles from the ocean you say? That’s weird.”

“What is?”

“The number of ways to fire missiles from the ocean is limited. It’s either to sail a boat or to fly a jet.”

There were monsters in the ocean. There were some in the sky as well but since they didn’t exist at high altitude airlines were still doing well.

“It was probably a jet.”

The missiles came flying not long after the Baek Gyeongs approached us. It must have been very close for it to arrive in that time range.”

“Certainly, a jet would have been eye catching.”

I nodded my head. However, it was hard to think that it was a boat.

In the first place, a boat made with steel couldn’t endure monster attacks after all.

This was the same no matter how tough the metal was.

Even a level 1 monster would be able to penetrate the most powerful alloy. If it was a tank it would be possible to see it and attack but it was impossible to do the same for the ones underwater.

“Hm…… then what is it? Is it a ghost……?”

What I thought was a simple matter started becoming a haze.

Then the ones that helped, no, it’s not helping now that I think about it. It’s only certain that they were trying to kill Baek Gyeong. They wouldn’t have thought that a van would come out safe after getting hit by missiles after all.

I’m somewhat mad thinking about it that way.

It means that they thought that it would be fine even if we died.

“How about we find out who they are.”

“WAit.”

I opened the window and sent an eagle out the window.

Of course, it would be impossible to find them so soon. Even if it was a short distance it would be dozens of kilometers after all.

The waves on the ocean were peaceful as if the tense battle just now was a lie.

We were on standby about 10 km away from New Alaska.

An Gyu-bum opened his mouth as if he suddenly remembered something.

“Now that I think about it, I forgot.”

“What.”

“This van. Why is it different from the one you gave me?”

“Because this one has additional options to it. Wasn’t the one you wanted one that could block hunters’ attacks? I thought the one I gave you would be sufficient.”

“No. In the first place, the one I wanted was the one you were using.”

“It’s the same van. Just that the options are different.”
