Life Mission

– Description: One of the six Disasters that are veiled in mystery. Somewhere deep in the Amazon, Bon Load was first revealed through Evil Queen. No Lifer nor mutant other than she has seen him. There’s no way of knowing what he looks like or what his abilities are. He is an opaque presence, but there is no doubt that he exists. All of the mutants born between Evil Queen and Bon Load were level 8s, and it is impossible for Evil Queen to conceive 7 level 8s on her own. This is indirect evidence that Bon Load has the same ability she does. There were originally 6 level S missions, but there are now 5 due to an unidentified phenomenon. Take on this challenge if you are ready to test your luck at the 5 opportunities.

– Reward: 190,000,000,000 points, dream box.

Strategist looked over the level S mission on his PDA, and went back to the screen.

Ruler of Bones.

The description alone shows what the difficulty will be.

“Move here.”

“Summon to one place.”

100,000 members entering, World Federation’s Lifers move in unison. It is a wide open space that can’t be found in the Amazon.

It is an artificial base camp that Lifers had created while investigating the Amazon. There are a few other places as well.

Woong!

Hundreds of planes are summoned to a spot on the field.

They are basically armed, but Lifers supplement what is lacking. They are battle weapon sentinels that are capable of vertical takeoff and landing like helicopters.

They had wanted to bring tens of thousands if they could, but they could only bring 300 into a level S mission and each was worth 10 billion points.

They have combat ability that would allow 3 or 4 of them to fight like a mutant. It can transport 1 force, 100 people.

In the case of supplies, there wasn’t enough even after filling each Lifer’s own levels S through B space compression bag, so they filled a few more. Even a level B space compression bag is approximately the size of a 1400 square foot apartment. There’s no need to even mention the upper level space compression bags. There is a lot of supplies.

It would be enough for one person to survive inside a mission for over 3 years.

They invested all of their personal points and World Federation gave enormous support as well.

Top level Lifers who had more than enough points brought in multiple times that.

On top of that, they released the owner recognition systems so that others could use it if they die. That is the extent to which they put their survival on the line.

Boom boom!

An iron wall was built up in case of attacks from mutants near the base camp.

The linemen were 100,000 top level special cyborgs.

It is easier to think of each Lifer being in charge of one cyborg. They are 200,000 all together – a force in which all of World Federation’s abilities are focused.

“Bloody Kingdom entered as well.”

“If they complete their mission and we fail ours, it’ll be an embarrassment for us and our influence will crumble. This isn’t a simple mission. It’s an invisible war.”

Strategist voices his thoughts in response to Weapon Master talking to himself.

Level S mission fail.

That would mean this place becomes a grave for 100,000 people.

If they fail, going back alive is unimaginable.

If Bloody Kingdom succeeds, they will ride that momentum to swallow Mechanic City. Entering at the same time means they are using their missions as an excuse to wage war.

If World Federation takes over Mechanic City while World Federation is in a state of failure, the world they know will be flipped inside out. Even level B Lifers boast the abilities of an army division or corps alone. It might be too much with frontal confrontation, but there’s no solution for regular citizens.

The chances of success and failure are similar for the two powers.

World Federation’s points are as high as their power and Bloody Kingdom’s are as low as their standing.

“Africa is wide. It’s easier to be active in than this damp ground.”

Though they are wearing battlesuits, humans are land creatures. Africa’s wide land is a positive factor for Lifers because they walk on land.

It is a favorable environment for several reasons but the Amazon on the other hand, is extremely unfriendly.

Even without mutants, humans can’t live here for many days.

Weapon Master looks at the giant forest in the distance. Other Lifers looked over as well.

“There’s no use in complaining since we’ve already entered.”

“Right.”

If they were going to consider who had the advantage, they should have discussed that before entering.

It’s stupid to quibble over that after entering.

This is the only chance they’ll get to quit the mission, but they have no thoughts of doing that. They only have one assignment from now on – advancing.

***

Dozens of sentinel cross the Amazon sky. The role of the sentinel spread out east and west with headquarters at the center is to search the area.

Bang bang bang!

The moving sentinel maintain heat and fire weapons like attached cannons.

Their opponents are flying mutants that are approaching from everywhere.

There are thousands of them, but they hit the ground without leaving even a scratch because they are only level 3 and 4.

Mutants swarmed in a frenzy following the smell of flesh and blood, trying to get a bit of the chunks of flesh.

Since there are a lot of dying mutants, a lot of mutants come in. The sentinel wandered the sky and opened the door after watching the atmosphere.

Bang bang bang bang!

Several missiles with the power to flatten a 4 to 5 floor building land in the middle of mutants that are eating. They might run away if they fire a machine gun. They were gifted with power from the beginning. The ground is different from the sky. There is no end to hiding places.

After the sentinel sent a few more bombs, they spread out here and there. Then the force level Lifers on board were sent to the ground. They halted battle only after completely sweeping the area.

[Zone D, Area 29 attack completed.] [Zone D, Area 29 attack completed.] [This is the core leader. Currently, we have completed the full attack on zone D.]

Strategist divided the Amazon like Mechanic City and classified zones to create a map.

The initial summons area is always a safe place. They arrived at the base camp they created here, and went up one by one.

In the entire Amazon area, they marked the places they attacked in blue and the places they hadn’t in red. There were still more places marked in red.

It took 15 days to attack to zone D.

They could finish to zone Z with this calculation in three or four months, but that’s impossible. There are few strong mutants in the beginning. The quantity and quality get better over time.

They are in the process of sweeping through the Amazon. They could encounter level 7 and 8s.

[This is zone E area 1. We have found a species we suspect to be level 7. It isn’t recorded in the pictorial book and predict it is a mutant that hasn’t been discovered yet.

[What is the environment and mutant distribution like?] [There are hundreds of underlings near the mutant, but there is nothing special other than that. We will send in force if you give the order.] [Go in after three forces have gathered.] [Roger!]

They need to be cautious starting from level 7.

Even level B Lifer have to go in in dozens, and they need multiple times that if there are underlings as well.

Each sentinel has one party of level A Lifers. But they can’t forget that they’re in a level S mission. They need to be careful. The search was carried out only by the sentinel. They could only search by foot after there was primary confirmation from the sentinel.

300 sentinels.

The capacity is for 100 people excluding two cyborgs in the cockpit, so 30,000 people are being dispatched at the same time.

World Federation acted in three teams.

That means 90,000 people. The other 10,000 either guarded headquarters or took on support duty. Rankers and top level A Lifers with 8 to 9 combination battlesuits or above, did nothing but wait at headquarters.

It will create a difficult situation if they follow out into ordinary missions and someone dies. Their mission is to fight Bon Load.

They’ll move only if a level 8 or beyond is found.

The 90,000 people need to handle up to level 7.

It can look like some people are working and some are resting.

But their duties were assigned by ability. A level S Lifer could do a level A Lifer’s job, but the reverse is not true.

They were in the process of thoroughly dissecting the Amazon. Many of them will die. Before they come face to face with their final goal Bon Load or even after they meet him, it’s unknown how many of them will have survived once the mission is complete.

All they can do is their best. They hope and hope for positive results.
