Episode 8 – Emergency Defense (2)
第八集-紧急防御(2)
It was finally the promised time.
终于到了承诺的时刻。
I gathered on the line 3 platform with the party. Every member was checking their weapons. Lee Hyunsung seemed to have handled it properly.
我和当事人一起聚集在3号线站台上。每个成员都在检查他们的武器。李贤成似乎处理得很好。
“I did as Dokja-ssi asked."
“我照Dokja-ssi的要求做了。”
Since the weapons they had used so far were very old, I asked Lee Hyunsung to produce new weapons. The materials were from the grade 8 underground species, the groll that were killed in the struggle last night. The blades and spears were made by cutting the horns of the groll. They weren't long enough but they were appropriate as a temporary measure.
由于他们迄今为止使用的武器都非常古老，我要求李贤成生产新的武器。这些材料来自于昨晚在斗争中被杀死的8级地下物种。刀刃和长矛都是通过切割长矛的角制成的。它们虽然不够长，但作为临时措施是合适的。
Jung Heewon smiled like she was satisfied.
郑熙媛笑了，好像她很满意似的。
“Isn't this much lighter and durable?"
“这不是更轻更耐用吗?”
"Ah… Dokja-ssi, Hyunsung-ssi. Thank you very much."
“啊......道佳-西，贤星-西。非常感谢。”
Yoo Sangah bowed. The groll's horn couldn't be used to make a blunt weapon so only Lee Gilyoung was still carrying a weapon from a ground rat. Lee Gilyoung was silently gazing at the ground. This sulking child… I stroked his head and said.
刘尚雅鞠了一躬。格罗尔的号角不能用来制造钝器，所以只有李·吉尔扬还拿着一只地鼠的武器。李吉英静静地凝视着地面。这个生气的孩子......我抚摸着他的头说。
"It won't be easy. This situation can be more dangerous than yesterday. Are you all ready?"
“这不容易。这种情况可能比昨天更危险。你们都准备好了吗?”
The party members nodded.
党员们点点头。
"Then we will start."
“那我们就开始吧。”
From now on, it was a fight against time. We had to work as quickly as possible before the Landlord Alliance noticed the situation. Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung disappeared to their respective floors for their missions, while I started climbing the stairs with Lee Hyunsung.
从现在开始，这是一场与时间的战斗。我们必须在地主联盟注意到情况之前尽快行动。当我开始和李贤成一起爬楼梯的时候，郑和元、柳善雅和李吉英消失在各自的楼层里去执行他们的任务。
Lee Hyunsung spoke in a voice without any confidence.
李贤星用一种毫无信心的语气说道。
“Dokja-ssi, I am unsure."
“Dokja-ssi，我不确定。”
…He was the core of this operation. He shouldn't be talking like this. I deliberately answered in a strong voice.
...他是这次行动的核心。他不应该这样说话。我故意用强硬的声音回答。
"It will be fine."
“一切都会好的。”
However, Lee Hyunsung's face was still timid.
然而，李贤星的脸仍然很胆小。
“I think that people are relying on me more than they should. I'm not sure I can do well."
“我认为人们对我的依赖超过了他们应该做到的程度。我不确定自己能否做好。”
“Hyunsung-ssi is a dependable person."
“贤星思是一个可靠的人。”
“…Thank you for saying so. In fact, this is my first experience. When I was in the army, I never got someone's trust like this."
“谢谢你这么说。事实上，这是我的第一次经历。我在军队的时候，从来没有像这样得到过别人的信任。”
It was the first time I've heard this story. That reminded me, I didn't really know about Lee Hyunsung's army life. Ways of Survival only mentioned it in passing.
这是我第一次听到这个故事。这提醒了我，我并不真正了解李贤星的军旅生活。《生存之道》只是顺便提了一下。
"Once this is over, I want to hear Hyunsung-ssi's story."
“一旦这一切结束，我希望听到贤贤四的故事。”
I said it casually but Lee Hyunsung was more shaken than I thought.
我随口一说，但李贤星比我想象的更震惊。
[The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has started to open his heart to you.] [Your understanding of the character 'Lee Hyunsung' has greatly increased.] “Sometimes I feel strange when talking to Dokja-ssi."
[李贤成这个角色已经开始向你敞开心扉了][你对‘李贤成’这个角色的理解大大提高了。]“有时候我和Dokja-ssi说话的时候感觉很奇怪。”
"Huh? Why…?"
“啊?为什么......?”
“It seems like you knew me from a long time ago… I can't explain it well…" Lee Hyunsung scratched his head and trailed off. "Ah, I don't mean anything strange. I just…"
“好像你很久以前就认识我了......我没法解释清楚......”李贤星搔了搔头，慢慢地说完。“啊，我没有什么奇怪的意思。我只是......”
“I know what you mean."
“我明白你的意思。”
"Thank you. I'm also curious about Dokja-ssi's story."
“谢谢。我也对Dokja-ssi的故事感到好奇。”
"My story?"
“我的故事?”
"Yes. I have never seen a person like Dokja-ssi before. I'm curious about what you did before this happened."
“是的。我从来没有见过像Dokja-ssi这样的人。我很好奇你在这之前做了什么。”
Somehow, I felt a bit strange. The 'supporting cast' of the novel I read was curious about me. I had a bit uncomfortable and had an itchy feeling.
不知怎么的，我觉得有点奇怪。我读的那本小说的配角们对我很好奇。我觉得有点不舒服，而且有一种痒痒的感觉。
“It isn't very interesting."
“这不是很有趣。”
"I still want to hear it."
“我还是想听。”
Suddenly, a question popped into my head.
突然，我脑子里冒出一个问题。
If Ways of Survival hadn't become reality, would Lee Hyunsung be living in the same world as me? Or did the novel suddenly emerge as a reality? I didn't know. One thing was for sure. Lee Hyunsung was now a 'living person' in front of me.
如果生存之道没有成为现实，李贤星会和我生活在同一个世界吗？还是小说突然变成了现实？我不知道。有一件事是肯定的。现在李贤成在我面前是一个活生生的人。
"Oh, Yoo Jonghyuk's friend. Did you come to negotiate?"
“哦，柳永玉的朋友，你是来谈判的吗?”
At this time, a number of middle-aged men came forward. Chungmuro's Landlord Alliance.
这时，一群中年人走上前来，他们是忠武郎的地主联盟。
“Hmm…but where are the women?"
“嗯......但是女人在哪里?”
The middle-aged man who spoke was holding a woman by her hair. She was part of the group that had been in the five spaces green zone just yesterday. The man laughed at my gaze.
讲话的那个中年男子抓着一个女人的头发。她是昨天刚刚进入五个空间绿区的小组成员之一。那人看着我的目光笑了起来。
“Ahh, this friend didn't see her land… This matter doesn't concern you."
“啊，这个朋友没有看到她的土地......这件事与你无关。”
"S-Save me. Help me!”
“救救我，救救我!”
The woman was gazing at me pitifully. In my head, the constellations of the 'absolute good' started clamoring. But I waited. It was because I had someone who would act instead of me.
那个女人可怜巴巴地盯着我。在我的脑海里，绝对善良的星座开始吵闹起来。但我一直在等待。那是因为我有一个可以代替我演戏的人。
“Let her go."
“放开她。”
It was Lee Hyunsung.
是李贤星。
“Who are you?"
“你是谁?”
Lee Hyunsung looked at me after the middle-aged man's question. It was like he was asking for permission. I nodded.
在那个中年男子的问话之后，李贤星看着我，好像他在征求我的同意，我点了点头。
[The character 'Lee Hyunsung' wants to practice justice of his own will.]
[李贤成这个角色想要按照自己的意愿实践正义。]
[The character 'Lee Hyunsung' is about to evolve.]
[李贤成这个角色即将发展]
The allied members pulled out their weapons and exerted a tremendous momentum. I checked the time. It was time to begin. I raised my stats with my coins.
盟军成员拔出了武器，发出了巨大的冲击力。我查看了时间。是时候开始了。我用我的硬币提高了我的统计数据。
[1,200 coins have been invested into 'stamina'.]
[投资了1200枚硬币用于‘耐力’。]
[Stamina Lv. 15 -> Stamina Lv. 18]
[体力吕15-体力吕18]
[Your stamina level has increased dramatically!]
[你的耐力水平大大提高了!]
[1,200 coins have been invested into 'strength'.]
[1,200枚硬币被投资于“力量”。]
[Strength Lv. 15 -> Strength Lv. 18]
力量Lv15-力量Lv18
[Your strength level has increased dramatically!]
[你的力量水平大大提高了!]
This was the maximum efficiency with minimal investment.
这是以最少的投资获得最大的效率。
[Coins Possessed: 20,450 C]
[拥有的硬币:20,450°c]
I had another place to spend the remaining coins.
我还有另外一个地方可以用剩下的硬币。
Kwaaaang!
夸昂！
Small blasts were heard all over the subway. A big and small uproar followed. It was the signal.
地铁里到处都是爆炸声，接着是一阵又一阵的骚动，这就是信号。
"Hyunsung-ssi!"
“贤星思!”
Lee Hyunsung nodded. We ran forward towards the men in the front row. The confused alliance members shouted.
李贤星点点头，我们冲向前排的人群，混乱的联盟成员大声喊道。
"What, you bastards!"
“什么，你们这些混蛋!”
[The exclusive skill 'White Pure Star Energy' has been activated.]
[独家技能“白色纯净星能量”已被激活]
Sukakak!
苏卡卡克！
"Kyaaak!"
“ Kyaaak! ”
The arm of the middle-aged man holding the woman's head flew away. The middle-aged men froze at the blood that emerged. Lee Hyunsung and I ignored them and kept running. The middle-aged men belatedly chased after us.
那个中年男子的手臂托着那个女人的头飞走了。那些中年男子被涌出的血吓呆了。我和李贤星忽略了他们，继续跑着。那些中年男子姗姗来迟地追赶我们。
"These crazy guys! Stop them!"
“这些疯子!拦住他们!”
A corridor on B2. It was the private land of Gong Pildu.
在B2上的一条走廊。它是公庇都的私人土地。
[You have invaded private property!]
你们侵犯了私人财产
“Surround them!"
“包围他们!”
The alliance members waiting in front discovered us. Some of the alliance members were missing, so there were less than expected. 20 in the back, 12 in the back. However, it was still a lot of people.
等在前面的联盟成员发现了我们。一些联盟成员失踪了，所以比预期的少。后面20个，后面12个。然而，还是有很多人。
Well, I had no intention of dealing with all of them.
我没打算和他们所有人打交道。
The moment I was about to clash with the alliance members, Lee Hyunsung moved ahead of me with a steel shield.
就在我要和联盟成员发生冲突的时候，李贤星拿着一个钢制盾牌走在我前面。
[The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has used the stigma 'Great Mountain Push Lv. 1.']
[“李贤成”这个角色使用了“大山推吕1”这个标志。]
Kwakakakak!
夸卡卡卡！
Lee Hyunsung used his tremendous muscle strength and they fell like dominoes.
李贤星用他巨大的肌肉力量，他们像多米诺骨牌一样倒下了。
[The character 'Gong Pildu' has activated 'Armed Zone Lv. 4!]
[人物‘宫皮都’已经激活了‘武装区吕4!’]
Turrets started to rise from all over the territory. The turrets were charged with red magic bullets and were prepared to fire. There were five mini-turrets. The level of Armed Zone had rised again.
塔楼开始从各地兴起。炮塔装有红色魔法子弹，随时准备开火。有五个小型塔楼。武装区的等级再次上升。
"Dokja-ssi!"
“ Dokja-ssi! ”
I overtook Lee Hyunsung and at the same time, I received his shield. As soon as the solid shield entered my hand, a stunning shock from a bullet pushed me away.
我追上了李贤星，同时，我得到了他的盾牌。当坚实的盾牌进入我的手中时，一颗子弹发出的惊人的冲击力把我推开了。
Kwang! Kwaang! Kwaang!
光!光!光！
It was heavy, as if I was hit by a cannon. The arm holding the shield was in pain. The level 19 magic power was strong. But I had to hold on.
它很重，就像我被大炮击中了一样。拿着盾牌的胳膊疼痛难忍。19级的魔法很强大。但我必须坚持下去。
[The compensation effect of Unbroken Faith has increased stamina to level 20.] [A toughness that is one step higher has protected your body.]
[坚不可摧信仰的补偿效果增加耐力到20级][一个更高一级的韧性保护了你的身体。]
“A cheeky tenant is here."
“一个厚脸皮的房客来了。”
Beyond the voice, I heard Gong Pildu's gruff voice.
除了声音之外，我还听到了龚皮尔度粗哑的声音。
Our feet were tied up by the powerful magic bullets while the alliance members were still chasing us. The durability of the iron shield was falling. Now it could only block a dozen magic bullets in the future.
我们的脚被强大的魔法子弹捆住了，而联盟成员还在追赶我们。铁盾的耐用性在下降。现在它只能阻挡十几颗魔法子弹在未来。
Gong Pildu spoke like it was interesting.
龚皮尔都说话的样子很有趣。
“I don't think you came here to pay a fine. What is going on?”
“我觉得你不是来交罚款的，到底是怎么回事?”
“Now I will quit being a tenant."
“现在我不再做房客了。”
"How interesting. Are you coveting my land?"
“真有趣，你是在觊觎我的土地吗?”
"We'll see. More than that…"
“我们拭目以待，不仅如此......”
[Some of the trespassers' stats are reduced by the effect of Gong Pildu's private land.] …It had started. This was why Gong Pildu's power was scary. The special effect of Armed Zone was a 'private land debuff.'
[一些入侵者的属性由于贡皮尔都的私人土地的效果而减少]已经开始了。这就是为什么龚皮尔度的权力是可怕的。“武装区”的特殊效果是“私人土地初次亮相”
Red magic power started condensing on the turrets.
红色的魔法开始凝结在塔楼上。
[The character 'Gong Pildu' is preparing the 'strengthened magic bullets.'
“宫皮都”这个角色正在准备“强化魔弹”
As long as the combo of 'private land' and 'armed zone' wasn't broken, there were very few incarnations who could deal with Gong Pildu.
只要“私有土地”和“武装地带”的联合体没有被打破，就很少有人能对付龚皮尔度。
"Die."
“去死吧。”
The moment that the enhanced magic bullets were about to be launched, I heard the screams of people from far away. The wounded landlord alliance members were rushing to this side.
就在增强型魔弹即将发射的那一刻，我听到了远处人们的尖叫声。受伤的地主联盟成员们纷纷跑到这边来。
“P-Pildu-ssi! The land…!"
“皮尔杜-西!土地......!”
There were signs they were injured by something sharp. Lee Jihye had moved. Now was the time. I looked at Lee Hyunsung.
有迹象表明他们是被尖锐的东西伤害的。李继惠已经搬家了。现在正是时候。我看着李贤星。
“Hyunsung-ssi, now."
“现星星，现在。”
Lee Hyunsung's eyes were shaking.
李贤星的眼睛在颤抖。
“Smash it."
“砸了它。”
Lee Hyunsung raised his fists up high. He looked uneasy and irritated, but there was also a firm determination not to retreat.
李贤成高高举起拳头。他看上去心神不定，有些恼怒，但他也有一种坚定的决心，决不退缩。
[The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has evolved.]
[李贤成这个角色已经进化了]
There was a blinding light and silver aura started to appear around Lee Hyunsung's bdoy.
一道耀眼的光芒和银色的光环开始出现在李贤星的胸部周围。
I was a bit emotional at the sight. Lee Hyunsung's 'character evolution' was one of the scenes I liked most in Ways of Survival. It was the reason why Steel Sword Lee Hyunsung was called one of the strongest supporting characters. That is― [Due to the character evolution, a new stigma has been opened.]
看到这情景，我有点激动。李贤成的人物进化是我最喜欢的《生存之道》中的一个场景。这就是为什么钢剑李贤星被称为最强大的配角之一。也就是说-[由于性格的进化，一个新的耻辱被打开了。]
When it came to 'one blow', Lee Hyunsung was considered one of the strongest in Ways of Survival.
当谈到“一击”时，李贤星被认为是《生存之道》中最强的一个。
[The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has used the stigma 'Great Mountain Smash Lv. 1.']
[“李贤星”这个角色使用了“大山撞吕1.”这个标志。]
Pale magic power gathered around Lee Hyunsung's fist and within seconds, Lee Hyunsung's arms became big enough to transcend common sense.
苍白的魔力聚集在李贤星的拳头周围，几秒钟之内，李贤星的手臂变得足够大，超越了常识。
"Haaaat!"
“哈哈!”
Lee Hyunsung's fists flammed down onto the ground.
李贤星的拳头挥向地面。
Kwaaaaang!
嘎嘎嘎！
There was a loud sound and the fragments of the broken floor scattered in the air. The alliance members screamed.
随着一声巨响，破碎的地板散落在空中，联盟成员们尖叫起来。
"W-What?"
“什么?”
Jjejejejeok!
杰杰杰克！
Dangerous cracks spread across the ground and the positions of the turrets started to twist. The magic bullets were fired towards the wrong place. An explosion spread and dust clouds rose. Then after a while.
危险的裂缝在地上蔓延，炮塔的位置开始扭曲。那些神奇的子弹射向了错误的地方。爆炸蔓延开来，尘土飞扬。过了一会儿。
Ku ku ku ku!
酷酷酷！
There was a great vibration and the ground of B2 started to collapse.
出现了巨大的震动，B2的地面开始塌陷。
[The green zone has been destroyed.]
[绿区已被摧毁。]
[The character Gong Pildu's private land has been destroyed.]
[人物龚皮尔都的私人土地已经被破坏。]
I looked at the collapsing ground and grinned towards Gong Pildu.
我看着坍塌的地面，对着龚皮尔都咧嘴笑了笑。
"Let's go back to the days when we didn't have our own land."
“让我们回到我们没有自己的土地的日子。”
