Chapter 175: Temptation
Master Smith Under Ministry of National Defense
175 – Temptation
As Myung-jun moved the supply boxes from the 2.5-ton truck by himself, he began to doubt whether his plan had failed. Despite exposing himself for a long time while moving the supplies and being seen alone by several passing soldiers, none of them approached him.
‘Should I just knock them out openly?’
Contemplating a more aggressive approach, Myung-jun quickly dismissed the idea. Knocking out one or two soldiers might be easy, but it was nearly impossible to incapacitate the Inspector hiding within their bodies simultaneously. Even if he succeeded in knocking out a soldier, if he couldn’t subdue the Inspector hidden inside, it would immediately self-destruct, using its highly acidic blood to dissolve the soldier’s internal organs.
The only way to prevent this was to rapidly freeze the soldier’s body before the Inspector could react. While modern humanity lacked the technology to revive a human from such a rapid freeze, this was not an issue for the Liberal Clan. Using their advanced technology, which far surpassed human science, they could revive a human frozen in an instant.
The detailed capture plan devised by Myung-jun and Soo-jung involved using a medical pod capable of restoring even cellular-level damage. They planned to use a rapid freezing capture device that could lower the temperature of a human-sized organism to -120 degrees Celsius in one second, freezing the body of an isolated infected soldier. The medical pod would then restore the damaged cells caused by the rapid freeze.
This method, causing extensive cellular damage, was not something to be used lightly, but they had no other choice. Without such a method, capturing a living Inspector, which would commit s*****e at the slightest hint of danger, was impossible.
Reflecting on this, Myung-jun continued to act as a soldier diligently moving supplies alone. Finally, a soldier approached him and spoke.
