Purge Day (4)
Lee Gyeongbok and Genome approached the toppled package truck. Maybe because the tire was blown out and it was considered neutralized, the back door was open.
"Wow, look at how fresh this supply crate is."
Genome exclaimed happily upon seeing the supply crate inside, spreading laughter through the chat window.
- Seriously, hyung's mouth is on fire today, Lol
- What is this LOL, is it a seafood market or what
- Didn't you know? If you eat supply crate sashimi right away, it's killer LOL
- LMAO is this some kind of live supply
- Hey! Try it for once!
As viewers expected, Lee Gyeongbok and Genome quickly opened the supply crate.
"Oh, medkit and quick bullets! There's also a scope!"
"And this side has armor."
Various gun attachments, healing items, and armor appeared one after another. Genome quickly fully equipped his assault rifle.
Since Lee Gyeongbok had a shotgun quest, he wasn't particularly interested.
"Oh?"
What caught his eye was another shotgun—a sawed-off shotgun with the barrel cut in the middle.
"Qdari, if I get a kill with this, does it count for the quest?"
- LMAO this is technically a shotgun but...
- But officially it's classified as a pistol LOL
- Qdari must be really agonizing right now
- If na leaves it out, it looks cheap, but putting it in costs more money
- What will Qdari choose?!
There was no answer in the chat window.
- Na's just deliberately acting like na doesn't know, right?
- na na, just saving na's money instead of answering
- Did Qdari guys just run away?
- Come on, it's Qdari—na's not gonna bail on stream
Lee Gyeongbok shrugged after checking the chat.
"Silence means consent. I'll just assume it counts and take it."
As the chat again filled with laughter at his reply, genome came from inside carrying a large box.
"Whoa! This looks just like that, you know?"
"That?"
"Yes. Judging by the size, I know exactly what it is."
Grinning, genome opened the box. Inside was a heavy, large-caliber weapon.
― WA! Minigun!
― Big one's here! Big one's here!
― This is a *really* big one LOL
― That's wild LOL
― Anime machine! Thank you!
― Steel snail sound effect playing automatically in my head?
― No, Lol, it's a heavy machine gun!
A weapon boasting fierce backlash but overwhelming firepower.
"Just in case, let's load it onto the truck."
With their looting complete, the two got back onto the truck.
* * *
They arrived at the training center in no time.
Lee Gyeongbok narrowed his glabella and looked around.
"Already done looting?"
He spotted players leaving the training center in the distance.
- That's way too fast
- Should still be in the middle of fighting right now
- For real LOL, they're not as quick at cleaning up as Godple and Genome
- Is there a top-tier player over there?
The viewers also expressed suspicion. But Lee Gyeongbok soon guessed the reason.
'So it really was teaming.'
He recalled the four stream snipers who dropped at the training center. In a battleground as fierce as the training center, teaming would offer a clear advantage.
'They're backing off, thinking they have no chance.'
The players who picked the training center were all confident in their skills—which included knowing when to hit and run.
They must've planned to do just basic looting, then regroup and retool elsewhere.
"Can't just let them go, now can we?"
Just because he knew the inside story didn't mean he could let it slide. This was a battle royale where everyone is an enemy.
As Lee Gyeongbok said that, he pressed on the accelerator.
"Genome! Get ready!"
"Roger that!"
Genome answered the call, but it didn't come from right next to him. The passenger seat was currently empty.
"Get ready..."
Genome was at the back of the truck, holding the mounted minigun. As he pulled the trigger, the minigun's barrels spun up.
― Purge! Purge! Purge! Purge!
― Let's sweep them all up!
― You trash! Here comes Minigun Genome!
― What's with the bean gag LOL
― It's a bullet party!
"Fire!"
With the viewers' cheers, the minigun began spewing bullets.
[GENOME 》M134HG》 BrownRatTom]
[GENOME 》M134HG》 GreyCatJerry]
As the bullets started flying like crazy, other players began getting shredded.
"Aaah! Strength makes light! I feel so pumped!"
Genome made sure to fill the audio, drawing laughter in the chat window.
― He's nuts LOL
― My gun is freaking big and beautiful!
― What's with the Doomguy joke LOL
― Bududududut!
― Stop with the filthy sound effects!
― Is this... battle royale?
It wasn't just players who were mowed down. Genome also targeted the vehicles parked outside the training center.
"Take this! There's no paradise for those who run away!"
The honeycombed vehicles finally couldn't hold up and began exploding. Players scrambling to escape were plainly shocked.
"What the hell, sh...!"
"Who are these maniacs?!"
It was a scene that would hardly strike anyone as odd—the sight of a man in a suit wearing a mask on a truck, firing a minigun.
While Genome covered the area in a hail of fire, Lee Gyeongbok smoothly drove the truck around the perimeter.
[GENOME 》M134HG》 ItalianMario]
[GENOME 》M134HG》 ItalianLuigi]
With the kill messages piling up, genome felt satisfied. Then, something felt off.
'... But is the minigun always this accurate?'
Even if it was mounted, it was still on a moving truck. Sure, he was aiming carefully, but he'd never landed shots this precisely before.
'No way, could it be...?'
A fleeting thought passed through his mind. Genome lowered his voice and spoke to the viewers.
"Everyone, this aim is just too spot-on."
- Ah LOL he's hyping himself again?
― Hyung? Still, hyung has top streamer mechanics!
― For real, showing off in front of Godple just gets you embarrassed
― Get lunch ready! Get lunch ready!
The viewers thought he was joking. But Galaxy's next words changed the mood.
"No, seriously. Before I even aim, the enemies are just lined up perfectly."
Question marks popped up in the chat window. So Genome shared his theory.
"I thought it was a coincidence, but what if Purple is lining up my shots for me?"
- What even is that LOL
- As if LOL, is he really adjusting your aim while driving?
- Ah LOL, even for Godple, that's a stretch LOL
― Hyung? Aren't you just trying too hard since you're duo streaming?
Everyone, of course, didn't buy it. How could he help aim for someone he couldn't even see, behind him, while driving?
But Genome didn't think so.
He was the first to have pointed out Lee Gyeongbok's sixth sense.
"Then next, I'll intentionally aim a bit off. Let's see what happens."
If he deliberately missed, they'd see the result. The viewers agreed.
- But what if it actually works?
- Then he's a true divine yeah LOL
- For real, not legend-tier but myth-tier
- Whoa, I'm getting goosebumps, why do I feel like it'll work?
- Really? This is real?
Chat was now half disbelief, half eager hope. Soon, another test subject appeared.
Genome, pretending nothing was wrong, pulled the trigger again.
"Ha-ha! Die!"
As promised, he deliberately aimed wide. The truck jolted as it shook.
And to their astonishment...
[GENOME 》M134HG》 DetectiveWatson (HEAD SHOT!)]
[GENOME 》M134HG》 AssistantSherlock (HEAD SHOT!)]
The scattered bullets hit and killed the test subjects with perfect accuracy.
"Insane...!"
- ????
- Huh?
- How is this possible?
- Actual aim-correcting just from driving?
- LOL, totally legendary
- Wow, this is blowing my mind
- And they weren't just kills, they're headshots LOL
- This is like the blessing of a god LOL
- Is this a prank? Right? This is all fake, right?
- Actually a pre-recorded broadcast LOL
Shocked, genome left the audio empty, and viewers tried to deny reality. But what had happened could not be undone.
As the minigun's ammo ran out, genome returned to the passenger seat, dazed.
"Genome?"
"You were helping my aim, weren't you?"
"Ah..."
When Lee Gyeongbok asked, genome countered with a question. Lee Gyeongbok hesitated, then replied with an awkward laugh.
"You could sort of tell, huh?"
Since Genome's and Lee Gyeongbok's audiences overlapped a lot, he already knew what was happening.
His half-admission made the chat window positively erupt.
- Ah LOL, what's the point of attachments, just bring Godple
- Seriously LOL, godple solves everything by himself
- Petition: one Godple per family (1/10000)
- Agreed! Overwhelming agreement!
- Breaking news: youth incontinence up, one streamer is the cause
- Nietzsche, you were wrong!
- Nah LOL, there was no Godple back then, so Nietzsche was right
- Nietzsche: I'm telling you, god was dead back then!
Amid the viewers' boisterous excitement, Lee Gyeongbok gave a sheepish smile. Genome watched him for a moment, then shook his head.
"Wow, everyone. This is what it's like to ride Purple's carry/bus. It's so smooth, you don't even realize you're on board. It takes someone like me to notice!"
― Ceaseless hype, what is this?
― What! Let me ride too!
― Genome is just leeching off this broadcast LOL
― Is this even a country?
Like a pro, he quickly snapped out of his shock, bringing the mood back up.
Meanwhile, unlike the festive mood, Lee Gyeongbok was still acutely on edge.
'Where are the stream snipers?'
He and Genome had taken out plenty outside the training center, but none were stream snipers.
'It has to be because of the broadcast-sniping.'
According to the tips before the match, the stream snipers were watching the broadcast. Maybe they were wary of his firepower and left early.
"Hm, looks like the training center's all cleared up. Since we loaded up from the package truck, looting the bodies would just give the stream snipers more time."
The items from the package truck were stashed in the truck's rear. There was no need to give the stream snipers any leeway by looting on foot.
Genome nodded lightly at the decision.
"Ah, right, let's do that. Let's see, the safe zone is activating, so next up..."
With the kills stacking up, the number of survivors dropped below 60, and the blue zone formed.
Genome opened the map to pick the next destination.
'Hm?!'
A prickly sensation, like muddy water, spread over his sixth sense. Lee Gyeongbok immediately checked the rearview mirror.
The roaring engine sound came next.
"Coupe?!"
Genome realized, a beat late, and turned to look back. Two two-seater cars were barreling down the road behind them.
They prioritized performance, so the engines were loud, and the speed was impressive.
"Freaking cowards..."
- What's this? Why are they together?
- WTF, it's teaming!
- Stream snipers! Stream snipers in a herd!
- Ugh, these less-than-dogs
- LOS-ER-S APPEAR
- How'd they find *two* coupes?
Genome and the viewers immediately guessed who they were. Even Genome's usually laid-back face turned stern.
'We can't outrun them with the truck's speed.'
Lee Gyeongbok judged the situation grimly. A pickup truck had no chance of outrunning a coupe.
'But I wasn't planning to run anyway.'
He hadn't thought of running in the first place. Apparently, neither had Genome, who immediately leaned out the passenger window.
"No-mic, full tryhard mode."
Genome's sudden switch in mode was met with cheers from viewers.
― Hyung! Show them what's up!
― Lesson time!
― They're all dead, those stream snipers LOL
― Show us their IDs, their IDs!
― Mark the losers, so sharp LOL
At Genome's gunfire, the snipers' cars swerved. But they, too, had come prepared.
"Careful!"
"Ugh!"
Lee Gyeongbok's warning came just before a flash grenade was thrown from the coupe. Genome had no time to react.
With gunfire following, genome groaned and ducked back inside.
"You okay?"
"Ugh... yeah! All thanks to my vest. These punks are only going for body shots."
He was hurt, but not fatally. Lee Gyeongbok, keeping a firm expression, glanced at Genome in the mirror and spoke.
"Genome, didn't you say you're good at driving?"
"Huh?"
Why bring that up now?
But Lee Gyeongbok didn't explain.
"Take the wheel."
With that, Lee Gyeongbok slammed the brakes. The tires screeched, and the chassis lurched.
Suddenly, the distance to the coupe shrank.
Genome was startled, but wasn't able to collect himself before Lee Gyeongbok's next move.
"Pu, Purple?!"
Lee Gyeongbok flung open the door and jumped out. Genome quickly grabbed the wheel, looking for Lee Gyeongbok.
Amazingly, he was now standing atop the coupe's hood.
"This crazy...!"
"Sh...!"
Of course, the snipers were even more shocked than Genome. But for Lee Gyeongbok, that brief moment was plenty.
Time enough to pull the trigger on the sawed-off shotgun in his hand.
"Crack!"
With a boom, the window shattered and the sniper in the passenger seat tumbled out.
As if expected, Lee Gyeongbok immediately took the vacated seat. The driver hurried to reach for his pistol, but—
"Ugh!"
Lee Gyeongbok's fist was faster.
A perfect hit to the jaw sent the driver into a "knocked out" state. Lee Gyeongbok effortlessly took the wheel, then planted the remaining shell of his shotgun in the man's head.
All this took less than 30 seconds.
― Wow LOL
― Feels like I'm watching a movie
-(gamalcon)(gamalcon)(gamalcon)
― Can a human really move like that?
― LOL, because he's not human!
― Touch even a small Godple and you're all dead LOL
The viewers were beside themselves with excitement. Yet Lee Gyeongbok remained cold and composed.
Because there were still snipers left to deal with.
"Just die already!"
"You...!"
As Lee Gyeongbok broke off, the remaining snipers attached themselves to the truck. As their gunfire rained down, genome ducked low and fired back with his pistol.
Lee Gyeongbok-nimbly grabbed the wheel and closed in from the opposite side.
"Genome! Open the passenger door!"
"What?!"
Genome and the viewers both were baffled. Wasn't opening the passenger door suicide at this point?
But no explanation came.
"If God tells you, you gotta do it!"
Even so, genome clenched his teeth and swung the door open. Beyond it, the waiting snipers grinned in anticipation.
Their creepy faces, and the muzzles right in front of them.
As tires screeched—Genesis's pupils widened. Lee Gyeongbok, in the coupe, drifted barely in front of the truck.
The coupe, whirling around, blocked the snipers' coupe.
A shocked sniper, just like Genome, hurriedly turned his muzzle.
"Huh?"
Oddly though, the coupe was empty.
"Try to live a little nicer, will you?"
The voice came from beside him. Without anyone noticing, Lee Gyeongbok had leaped from the coupe and was now hanging on the passenger door.
Grinding his teeth, the sniper tried to aim again, but the coupe crashed, jarring the car.
"Purple?!"
"Just a sec."
Lee Gyeongbok smoothly slipped into the passenger seat and yanked the wheel.
With a crash and explosion, the coupe Lee Gyeongbok had been in blew up.
"Aaargh!"
The impact threw the sniper clinging to the passenger seat out, and the second coupe caught fire as well.
Genome stared wide-eyed into the mirror. The second explosion sounded, and both coupes were completely engulfed in flames.
― No way LOL
― That was insane, for real LOL, delayed attack with a grenade
-???: Try nerfing this too!
― Legend again LOL
― Just be more godly LOL
"Whoa..."
Genome stopped the pickup truck.
He couldn't just gloss over what Lee Gyeongbok had done.
― Told you to play the game, but he's shooting a movie again LOL
― Huh? Isn't this a movie set?
― This is the carry/bus Godple gives?
― Feels like a Gdneyland attraction LOL
― Breaking: sale of L company drinks falling, cause is streamer Purple!
― Right LOL, who needs soda with Godple's stream
-77eok! So refreshing!
― Those snipers must feel so owned, right?
As expected, the viewer reactions exploded just like the cars.
"You okay?"
"Huh? Yeah, yeah, I'm... No, but seriously, are you really human?"
Genome stammered as he looked at Lee Gyeongbok, still in disbelief.
- Oh LOL, I know that expression
- That's, that's it! Mad Maximum LOL
- LMAO, you mean the face of the actor shocked by the stunt?
- Stunts are kid's stuff LOL
- Witnessing a miracle, what else do you expect?
"Guys, this is completely different from watching on screen or in person. Wow, I've never experienced anything like this in my life."
Lee Gyeongbok gave a wry smile. But knowing they couldn't just stand around, he moved to change the mood.
"Ah, the ending's a little disappointing."
"Huh?"
"If I'd finished with a shotgun, I would've earned 100,000 won."
That remark set off another wave of laughter in the chat.
― Ah LOL 100,000 won is irresistible
― Did the earlier sawed-off kill get credited?
― Yep, it counted LOL
― Qdari guys are reading the room LOL
― Now you're realizing he's truly god-tier
― For real LOL, handling things well
"Wow, I'll give you the 100,000 won."
"Huh?"
Genome's sincerity was obvious. But as he came back to his senses, his on-stream banter resumed.
"Honestly, guys—watching this for free is basically a crime. You can't buy an experience like this, even with money."
"If you put it that way, maybe I should ask for more?"
"Ah... You can't give me a discount?"
― He's nuts LOL, asking for a discount
― How do you haggle with a god?
― Genome, that's just pathetic...
― Now you're just "Chu-nom" (cheapskate Genome) LOL
― Seriously negotiating live? My heart's getting stingy
― You're really trying to haggle at this timing LOL
― Why can't we just have a cool transaction?
Genome's banter brought the mood back again. He clapped his hands to regain focus.
"Okay, good. Stream snipers, cut down instantly! Now it's time for some fun! Let's see, according to Genome's recommended route..."
He quickly shifted back into stream host mode, not forgetting his role as co-streamer and navigator.
"Hmm, judging by the safe zone, we need to head to the 'Resort.'"
Genome pointed to the next destination. Lee Gyeongbok's eyebrows rose slightly as he checked it.
'That spot is for sure...'
Unfortunately, stream snipers still remained, contrary to Genome's optimistic words.
Unlike the four snipers just dealt with, two had landed separately.
The resort was where they dropped.
