Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1)

“Yes.”

“Collect the supplies?”

For starters, Kim Seojun’s group hadn’t managed to take much from Hongyuan Mine.

As soon as she heard Kim Seojun’s plan, Major Lee Hyena didn’t raise any major objections.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

That was why leaving all those supplies there was also a waste in many ways.

It was inevitable.

With a battle against a terrifying monster like a Tank Bug ahead of them, loading the military truck with supplies, increasing its weight, and reducing its mobility would have practically been madness.

Of course, there was something that made her doubtful.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Eight hours.”

“What about the route?”

“According to Private First Class Park Boseop, there won’t be any problems. apple But it’ll take us about eight more hours to reach the Polish headquarters.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Under normal circumstances, perhaps it would be, but now they were heading to the Polish headquarters and, according to Major Jan Zabłocki, although they currently lacked troops, they weren’t suffering from a shortage of supplies.

Was it really worth investing a considerable amount of time?

The more, the better, but eight hours was hardly a short amount of time on planet Amotia, which had now turned into a genuine apocalypse.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“After securing the supplies, we need to blow that place up.”

Kim Seojun knew that as well.

Even so, the reason he had made that proposal wasn’t solely because of Inventory.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. abandon I’m sure there will be surveillance equipment there. agent We need to take care of it, and the safest way is simply to blow up the entire mine.”

“Blow it up?”

There was something equally important.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

The Chinese headquarters possessed the largest force on planet Amotia.

“They’re the kind of people who keep stealing even after the Gate has been destroyed. timber They won’t leave the people who took their things alone, even if they were the original owners.”

“No. acid If they discover that the original owners recovered their things, they’ll have even more reason to try to kill them. antique There’s never been a better time to eliminate evidence.”

Furthermore, they were among the people one least wanted to get involved with on the entire planet Amotia.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Furthermore, she didn’t have the authority to question it either.

Command was in Kim Seojun’s hands.

After hearing that, Major Lee Hyena stopped asking questions.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Explaining it to Major Jan Zabłocki, who from that moment onward would accompany them to the Polish headquarters.

Only one thing remained.

“Supplies?”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course, he didn’t raise any objections either.

“Good, then we’ll depart.”

Vroooom!

“I’m not shameless enough to be a passenger riding for free and then start arguing about the destination on top of that.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

That didn’t mean it was peaceful.

They didn’t encounter any major problems along the way.

Once the preparations were complete, the vehicle started moving again in the direction of Hongyuan Mine.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

And they were quite lethal.

Living mines created by the Mog to confront humans on that enormous planet!

They were mines.

Groups of Mogdogs were stationed everywhere, usually around ten individuals.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes, sir.”

“There’s a group of Mogdogs one kilometer ahead. riddle Go around them.”

As soon as someone entered the area of a group of Mogdogs, they would begin shrieking like mad and attract all the Mogdogs in the surrounding area.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Every time it goes up one rank, my visual acuity increases by 1.’

Even so, the reason that didn’t pose any problem was precisely Kim Seojun’s eyes.

Thanks to the new item he had obtained, his Hawk Eye talent had risen to rank E.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“The trip is pretty comfortable thanks to you, Sergeant Kim.”

Naturally, there was an enormous difference between 3 and 4, and Park Boseop was experiencing that difference firsthand.

And although he couldn’t be completely certain, after that rank increase, Kim Seojun’s visual acuity seemed to have reached 4.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Instead, his expression hardened.

Kim Seojun didn’t respond to Park Boseop’s words.

‘There are too many mines.’

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

‘It’s true that they took down the Tank Bugs, but……’

That meant the Mog had concentrated their attention on that area, and it wasn’t as though they lacked reasons to do so.

From his perspective, the number of Mogdog groups present in that region was far from normal.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

To be exact, each group of Mog had its own leader, meaning special individuals who acted independently, like tribal chiefs of sorts.

The Mog normally weren’t capable of reacting that quickly.

But Kim Seojun knew something.

That was why, even if they cooperated with one another, they usually didn’t do so that quickly.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

That fact was what worried Kim Seojun now.

Except in one particular situation.

‘Even if we find the Queen, in the current situation it’ll be impossible to receive support from space. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com ’

‘Even so, the fact that they’re mobilizing this quickly means the Queen is about to be born.’

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

In most cases, as soon as the Psykers located a Queen, the warships waiting in space concentrated their fire on that location.

And naturally, with the chaos caused by the destruction of the Gate, it was practically impossible for them to receive proper support from space.

It wasn’t that there were no Psykers capable of doing such a thing, but they were extremely few.

Naturally, when Psykers found a Queen, they didn’t challenge her to an honorable one-on-one fight right then and there to kill her.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

‘We have to survive on our own.’

That was precisely why supplies were so important.

In any case, from Kim Seojun’s perspective, everything was in the worst possible state.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

The Polish headquarters would probably have abundant supplies, but there was no way they would allow him to put all of them inside Inventory.

The Chinese had already taken care of “laundering” them, so he could safely store them inside Inventory and use them whenever he needed them.

In contrast, the supplies at Hongyuan Mine were different.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“There are no signs that anyone has entered since we left.”

And after a long journey, they finally arrived.

For many reasons, Kim Seojun had to return to Hongyuan Mine.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Only the two of us will go in, Major.”

Fortunately, everything remained exactly as it had been when they left.

To be precise, the small stones Kim Seojun had placed inside the entrance in a way that only he could recognize were still exactly where they had been.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Looking at them, Lee Hyena felt that it was a shame.

They quickly reached the warehouse, and as soon as they entered, they saw mountains of supplies stacked up.

They already knew the way.

After confirming that, Kim Seojun took Lee Hyena without hesitation toward the place where the stolen goods were stored.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Kim Seojun addressed her.

They wouldn’t even be able to take an eighth of all that.

“Major.”

It was then.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

At Lee Hyena’s question, Kim Seojun showed her.

“Your ability?”

The stacked supplies began to disappear.

“This is my ability.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

While Lee Hyena watched in surprise, Kim Seojun continued storing the supplies inside Inventory one after another.

“W-What the hell is this?!”

“Huh?”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Kim Seojun told her.

“There are two reasons why I’m showing you my ability, Major. advance The first is that our situation is this urgent and dangerous. abstract The second is because I trust you.”

When she finally understood what it meant, Lee Hyena was dumbfounded.

At those words, specifically upon hearing the word “trust,” Lee Hyena’s expression changed.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

After thanking him, she asked.

“Is there any way I can help you?”

“Thank you.”

She nodded.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

At those words, Lee Hyena immediately began moving.

“It isn’t easy to pick up each thing one by one and store it. arena So hand me the supply crates.”

“Understood.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Using her Super Strength, she began handing Kim Seojun the heavy supply crates.

“Here.”

And she continued.

“Here you go.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“……Here.”

“Here.”

Again and again.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

More than dozens of times.

And when the number finally exceeded three digits, an exclamation of amazement escaped Major Lee Hyena’s mouth.

“……This is insane.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Because all the supplies that the Chinese Space Forces on planet Amotia had devoted themselves to stealing had fit inside Kim Seojun’s Inventory.

Kim Seojun was surprised as well.

That entire enormous amount.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I could even fit a hover bike in the remaining space.’

‘It really all fit.’

He already knew approximately how much space he had, but after personally storing all those supplies, he understood just how absurd it was.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Faced with that fact, Kim Seojun made a brief comment.

Not only had he not run out of space, but he still had plenty left over.

“We won’t have to worry about supplies for a while.”

Upon hearing it, Lee Hyena thought that this wasn’t simply enough for “a while.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“So if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask me.”

With that amount of supplies, if only Kim Seojun were taken into account, he could probably spend the rest of his life without ever receiving supplies again.

At the words that followed, Lee Hyena let out an incredulous laugh and nodded.

“Underst……”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

At that instant, both of them closed their mouths.

It was then that a voice suddenly echoed through the place where they were.

— Respond.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Without making the slightest sound, they looked toward the place the voice had come from.

There was a radio there.

Their gazes changed.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Upon hearing it, Lee Hyena thought.

— This is headquarters. palette Respond.

The voice came from the radio again.

— Respond.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

It was then.

‘There’s no need to look for trouble.’

In front of Lee Hyena, who had even suppressed the sound of her breathing, Kim Seojun began to move.

The best thing to do was ignore it.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Responding.”

“Responding.”

He approached the radio, adjusted the language pack several times, then pressed the call button.

As soon as she heard the Chinese produced through the Chinese language pack, Lee Hyena was completely dumbfounded.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

It was practically the same as breaking into a house to steal and answering the phone when the owner called.

‘What the hell?!’

And that wasn’t all.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Kim Seojun continued the conversation directly.

— An accident? arctic Why didn’t you report it?

“I’m sorry I haven’t responded until now. sphere There was an accident.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“There was an explosion while we were dismantling a Psyker’s supplies.”

— An explosion?

Kim Seojun answered the question.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

— No. sphere For now, remain there and take care of organizing the situation.

— What condition are the Psyker’s supplies in?

“A very large explosion. legend We suffered many casualties and extensive damage.”

“They’re so badly destroyed that their original form can’t even be recognized anymore. agent I apologize. meadow We’ll organize the situation as quickly as possible and return to headquarters.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

He indicated with his eyes that she could speak now.

Once the conversation ended, Kim Seojun removed his finger from the call button and looked at Lee Hyena.

“Thank you.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sergeant Kim Seojun, what are you planning?”

Kim Seojun replied.

Lee Hyena immediately asked.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Before long, headquarters will send troops here. audit To eliminate their own subordinates.”

“And what does that have to do with answering the radio?”

“Our relationship with China was never good, but now we’ve already crossed a point of no return.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. canvas Because no superior would leave a subordinate alone after they tried to keep his things for themselves.”

“Who would believe there was an explosion and the items disappeared? matrix Much less when what disappeared were the belongings of a Psyker Agent.”

“Eliminate them?” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

At those words, Lee Hyena recalled the conversation Kim Seojun had just had and finally understood.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

From a superior’s perspective, it would inevitably look like a shameless trick.

Only one answer appeared in Lee Hyena’s head.

“I’d send troops.”

“Instead, they’ll think this they found something extraordinary inside the supply crate, and because of that, their subordinates are willing to risk their lives to take the stolen goods for themselves. adjust In that case, Major Lee Hyena, what would you do?”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“A Psyker?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, you would. armor Someone trustworthy and with proven capabilities, capable of getting here as quickly as possible and recovering a valuable item. voyage And in space, there’s only one type of person capable of doing something like that.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Are you planning to kill a Psyker?”

“I have no intention of doing that.”

Lee Hyena looked at him in surprise.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

They were existences best avoided provoking unless there was certainty that they could be killed.

He knew perfectly well what kind of monsters Psykers were.

Kim Seojun immediately denied it.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

The reason he had done all that was simple.

“What I want is to confirm something.”

“If this matter was carried out at the level of a Major, it’ll be impossible for them to send a Psyker. portal But if they send a Psyker here without the slightest hesitation, it’ll mean that whoever is running the supply theft has a higher rank.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“I think someone with the rank of Colonel is involved in this. alert In other words, the head of the Chinese branch on planet Amotia.”

“Higher?”

Kim Seojun intended to identify his enemy more precisely.

And he already had a fairly strong suspicion about that.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course, that didn’t mean that the position of head of the Amotia branch was an important position reserved for powerful people.

While other countries usually appointed officers with the rank of Major or lieutenant colonel as heads of their branches, China had nothing less than a shangxiao, in other words, a Colonel, commanding its branch.

The greatest proof of the scale of that force was precisely the rank of the head of the Chinese branch.

The Chinese headquarters on Amotia boasted both the largest size and the greatest strength on the entire planet.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

He was someone who would never receive a star.

If that had been a planet flowing with milk and honey, the other countries wouldn’t have skimped on investments either.

And there was only one reason someone with the rank of shangxiao would end up assigned to a place like that.

It was, without a doubt, a dead-end assignment.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

And from the moment that happened, he had only one objective for the rest of his career.

Someone whose path toward success had ended.

At one time, he had advanced rapidly in his career, but when the faction he had backed lost an internal power struggle, he was immediately relegated to a dead-end assignment.

That was the case for Colonel Wang Lei.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Naturally, he didn’t intend to make money by accumulating ordinary supplies.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

That was why the first thing Colonel Wang Lei did upon assuming his post on planet Amotia was establish a system for stealing supplies.

“I’m going to line my pockets as much as possible before I take off this uniform.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

And finally, one had taken the bait.

He had scattered bait everywhere while waiting for a big fish to bite someday.

His true objective was Psyker supplies.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

And just after stealing those supplies, the news arrived.

Hawk Eye!

They had managed to find out where the supplies requested by that Psyker Agent representing the United States would be delivered.

‘Now that the Gate is having problems……’

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

But Colonel Wang Lei wasn’t worried at all.

In truth, it was a situation that should have terrified him.

Something extraordinary had happened in space.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

If he could flee into space at any moment, he had no reason to feel afraid.

It was dangerous for the other soldiers, but it posed no problem for him.

He possessed the strongest air-raid shelter on all of planet Amotia and even had an evacuation craft with which he could escape into space in an emergency.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

An opportunity to collect everything he had stolen up to that point and return to Earth.

‘This is a perfect opportunity.’

Instead, he considered that chaos an opportunity.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

That was why Colonel Wang Lei was waiting more eagerly than ever for the arrival of his gift box.

However, the news he received, far from exciting him, caused his anger to flare up.

“It seems those guys are trying to keep the items for themselves.”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

He was a slender man, and as soon as he entered, he saluted.

A man immediately appeared.

He simply pressed a button located on his office desk.

Faced with that, Colonel Wang Lei didn’t say much.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“Twenty-four hours will be enough!”

Colonel Wang Lei told him.

“How long do you need to eliminate them all and recover the items?”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

And yet he was going to take care of everything in twenty-four hours?

From there to Hongyuan Mine, the destination in question, the trip by military truck required more than ten hours just one way.

The immediate answer was surprising.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

For an ordinary person, that was impossible.

A Psyker!

However, the person who had just said it could do it.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

Those special existences completely ignored the standards of ordinary humans.

“Take care of everything within fifteen hours.”

But Colonel Wang Lei wasn’t satisfied even with that surprising answer.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll provide you with the Wulong.”

At that, the Psyker Agent showed an expression of surprise.

Even for a Psyker, that was impossible.

He imposed an even tighter deadline.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

However, as soon as he heard the word Wulong, the Psyker Agent’s expression changed.

Among all the hover bikes currently manufactured by China, it was the model with the most advanced technology and performance, a machine so extraordinary that even trying to measure its value in money seemed absurd.

Wulong.

It was inevitable.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

They were reserved so that Colonel Wang Lei could escape in an extreme emergency.

And those three weren’t intended for soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

Even at the Chinese headquarters on planet Amotia, there were only three Wulongs.

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

As soon as he heard that, Major Zhang Wei responded without the slightest hesitation.

Three hours later, Colonel Wang Lei received a report.

“I’ll return after taking care of everything within twelve hours!”

Translation of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 16: vs. Psyker (1) by Indra Translations.

“We’ve lost contact with Agent Zhang Wei!”
