Episode 343. Norwegian Team

Thanks to the great scientist Isaac Newton’s masterwork Principia, humanity became able to calculate momentum from any object with mass that has velocity.

No, perhaps everyone has known since prehistoric times that getting hit by something flying at high speed hurts.

It’s instinct, after all.

People commonly use the expression “hitting a rock with an egg,” but eggs are heavier than you’d think.

Eggs also have mass, and if velocity is added, they have momentum, so wouldn’t even rocks feel some pain?

But if a stone and an egg of the same mass come flying at you, you can definitely tell.

It’s better to get hit by the egg than the stone.

‘These training bullets must also have sophisticated engineering design applied, but the principle would be the same.’

If two objects have the same mass and velocity, their momentum would be the same, but that doesn’t mean the impact force is identical.

‘The direction in which force scatters at the moment of collision differs depending on the material’s hardness and structural differences.’

Simply put, an egg shatters into pieces, so it can’t deliver energy as completely as a stone of the same mass.

Car bumpers work on this principle – they crumple easily to absorb impact well in case of accidents.

It’s not simply made weak to charge car owners more repair costs.

…Probably not, anyway.

Yeon-woo nodded as he watched Kim Su-hyeok taking his stance.

‘I trust American technology.’

This was a show bringing together shining stars from countries around the world and various fields – how many safety tests must the production team have conducted beforehand?

They would have very carefully considered the impact force that protective equipment could handle, the maximum impact force that special bullets could produce, and even the damage they could cause to the human body.

However, seeing Kim Su-hyeok’s sniper rifle with its long barrel, even Yeon-woo found himself swallowing nervously.

A longer barrel means increased time under force, so the impact force would inevitably be greater.

‘Hmm, this is probably the impact force closest to the critical point among the production team’s considerations.’

And he could now witness the results of that experiment with his own two eyes.

Click─.

Bang─!

The bullet that flew through the air with a loud gunshot hit the protective gear guarding Gunnar Hundsen’s unfortunate area, just as intended.

“Guhhhh─!”

The Norwegian expert who had been discussing the terrain they would advance through next widened his eyes upon hearing Gunnar’s scream that seemed to simultaneously inhale and exhale air.

Rather than a sound from a human mouth, it felt like the sound of a large old tree falling with a crack after the final axe blow.

But being a professional, he acted calmly.

“Ambush! Get down!”

The two men on either side of Gunnar, who had collapsed forward, ducked their upper bodies.

“Hey! Get up! We need to move to cover!”

“Guuuhhh…”

Gunnar, who had collapsed forward while clutching a certain area with both hands, made zombie-like sounds.

The actual impact force was about the same as getting hit by a ball someone accidentally kicked during soccer, but the unexpected shock and the loud gunshot echoing all around sent Gunnar into a panic.

Of course, a soccer ball is also extremely painful.

But it’s not enough to collapse in the middle of a battlefield, foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.

However, Gunnar, who had panicked from the sudden shock, just collapsed and couldn’t do anything.

Bang─!

Another bullet came flying.

This time it hit the left arm of the expert who had been urging Gunnar to move quickly.

“Ugh…!”

Gunnar Hundsen was over 190cm tall with a large build, making it nearly impossible to carry him and escape while under attack.

“Just lie down in the bushes for now! Hey, Pedersen! We need to take cover quickly and return fire!”

Staying by Gunnar’s side like this would accomplish nothing.

Protecting the team leader was important above all else, but the knee-high bushes would provide some concealment for him, so it was strategically correct for the other two to quickly take cover behind the trees in the back and return fire.

And anyway, with all that mud covering his body, his life wouldn’t drain much either.

Having quickly made their decision, Pedersen and Rekdal moved rapidly in crawling positions and hid behind trees about 20 meters away.

“Where the hell are they shooting from? The gunshot is echoing so I can’t pinpoint it exactly.”

“It’s not a rifle. This is sniping…!”

At Pedersen’s words, one team came to mind in Rekdal’s head.

A team with special weapons.

There might be another team that had achieved a different Achievement without them knowing and obtained special weapon acquisition rights, but for now, Rekdal knew of only one team.

“The Korea team! It seems to be Ryu’s team!”

***

While Kim Su-hyeok took position and sniped, Yeon-woo lowered his stance and charged at high speed toward where the Norwegian team leader had fallen.

He had maintained this same position in the battle against the French team at the center of the island, where they had achieved their first elimination.

While Kim Su-hyeok tied down the enemy’s vision with sniping, the agile and skilled marksman Yeon-woo would approach.

Since the team leader’s life was important, it would be better if Park Jung-hyeon approached, but the bushes couldn’t hide Park Jung-hyeon’s large frame.

And by this point, Kim Su-hyeok and Park Jung-hyeon had developed faith that Yeon-woo wouldn’t be easily eliminated.

They had begun to perceive him not as a celebrity who needed protection, but as an excellent combatant carrying out operations together.

Park Jung-hyeon circled around through the forest connected by trees, running in a wide arc.

This was to go around further than where the enemies were hiding to avoid sniping, secure a shooting angle, and simultaneously keep watch for other teams that might be nearby.

Thus Kim Su-hyeok from his initial sniping point prevented them from moving an inch, firing whenever even a strand of hair showed in his scope, while Yeon-woo took the role of approaching with swift footwork while hiding in the bushes, and Park Jung-hyeon took the role of circling widely counterclockwise to catch the enemies from behind.

The three men’s roles were fitting together organically and perfectly.

Among the green grassland that had grown to knee height, there were scattered sections that had grown luxuriantly to waist height, and Yeon-woo used these points to approach stealthily and quickly.

Then he could see Gunnar Hundsen, who had collapsed and was groaning while gradually recovering.

‘About 15 meters, I’d say.’

Yeon-woo, lying prone in the grassland, drew his pistol from his waist.

‘At this distance, they must be watching me.’

He wasn’t referring to Gunnar Hundsen, nor the Norwegian team hiding behind trees, nor Park Jung-hyeon or Kim Su-hyeok.

Yeon-woo aimed his pistol at Gunnar Hundsen’s mud-filled pocket without hesitation and pulled the trigger.

Bang-bang─.

Bang-bang─.

It was the same rhythm from the shooting round where he had acquired the sniper rifle before entering the island.

Incredible rapid fire, shooting two rounds at a time.

And those bullets hit precisely on the tactical vest from Coated Company that Gunnar Hundsen was wearing.

***

Meanwhile, the person who was certain Yeon-woo was watching him. No, the people were looking at a large screen.

It was the broadcast control room.

It was the second day of competition, and since the teams were quite far apart from each other, no battles had occurred, so the gallery was starting to feel bored.

The South Korean team had registered Norway on the radar detector they had acquired as a reward and began advancing toward them relentlessly as if they were guided missiles.

And soon, when the radar detector revealed their exact location, the first battle of the second day of competition was finally about to unfold.

When Kim Su-hyeok took position and held his breath to minimize shaking, not only the managers and officials in the gallery but also the players from eliminated teams who had newly joined today held their breath together.

And the gun fired.

One side of the large screen split in two showed Kim Su-hyeok sniping, while the other side showed Gunnar Hundsen through the head cam of Norwegian team player Rekdal.

And that unfortunate incident occurred.

– Ugh!

“Oh, shit!”

“Wow─!”

“Oh my gosh.”

Sighs burst forth filling the gallery as they watched Gunnar Hundsen collapse forward.

It was the kind of reaction you’d expect when a national player missed a penalty kick in a World Cup match.

Since most of the people in the gallery were men, they were only watching through video, but as if they were all linked via Bluetooth, everyone simultaneously felt a chilling sensation in their vital areas.

Until then, no one had felt anything strange.

Except for the Canadian team, who had directly experienced Norway.

Soon after, player Ryu Yeon-woo’s head cam filled the screen as he advanced through the bushes without hesitation, approaching Gunnar Hundsen with clean movements and efficient routes.

And then followed the ghostly skilled rapid fire.

– Bang-bang─.

– Bang-bang─.

Realistic shooting sounds continued to be heard through the speakers installed in the gallery, but something seemed off.

“Huh?”

“What?”

“Why isn’t he out?”

Despite firing a full eight rounds at incredibly fast speed, Gunnar Hundsen’s life count displayed on screen remained unchanged.

It was a natural result since Yeon-woo was deliberately aiming only at the thick pockets filled with mud.

Yeon-woo’s shooting, which very clearly and actively appealed this abnormal phenomenon, made the production team in the gallery move busily.

“What is that! Hurry up and find the cause. Why isn’t the Norwegian team leader’s sensor responding?”

“Joshua! Analyze all of the Norwegian team leader’s past plays starting from yesterday!”

“Yes!”

***

‘This should be enough.’

Having shown this much, even if the most stupid people were sitting at the desk, they would have sufficiently detected the abnormality.

Yeon-woo quickly changed positions and moved a bit closer, then this time precisely aimed at the connecting parts between the pockets and fired.

Bang─.

Bang bang─.

Since the distance was so close, it was easy to hit the back of Gunnar Hundsen, who had collapsed and was curled up like a fetus with his large body.

The bullets that struck the thin spaces between the pockets steadily consumed Gunnar Hundsen’s life.

Whirring─.

Beep─.

The smart watch on his wrist vibrated at the same time as a beep sound indicating “out” came from Gunnar’s protective equipment.

Then, without looking back, Yeon-woo quickly began retracing the path he had come.

It was a clean hit and run strategy.

A tactic of ambushing to strike the enemy and then immediately retreating.

A tactic with a long tradition that has accompanied human history regardless of East or West, ancient or modern.

Simply put, it’s hit and run.

Bang─.

Whoosh─.

The sound of Kim Su-hyeok’s sniper bullets fiercely whizzing past Yeon-woo’s surroundings could be heard.

It seemed the Norwegian team had come out from between the trees where they were taking cover to pour bullets at the fleeing Yeon-woo.

Having lost their team leader so helplessly, they would be ready to seek revenge regardless of consequences.

Yeon-woo, who had returned to Kim Su-hyeok’s position with quick footwork, caught his breath.

“Should we maintain our current position and methodically deal with the remaining guys?”

Then Yeon-woo shook his head and brought his finger to his mouth.

Wheeeet─!

The sound of a high-pitched whistle echoed far into the distance.

It was a signal sent to Park Jung-hyeon, who had gone back as a precaution for emergencies.

A pre-arranged play.

A promise to regroup at a pre-designated location.

They had already extracted the core well, so what need was there to engage in a war of attrition with the Norwegian team whose eyes had rolled back?

“Let’s go.”

At Yeon-woo’s words, Kim Su-hyeok nodded and slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder again.

“Roger. Taking one kill and leaving.”
