Chapter 22 - Backstab Crisis (3)

The hidden ending of Bio Crisis.

Since no one had seen this cutscene before, the chat window was filled with anticipation.

-WA! First reveal!

-Has there ever been anything that wasn't a first reveal? Haha

-True words.

As the view brightened, the chat window was flooded with ‘?’ and ‘haha’. This was because John was holding a rocket launcher in the cutscene.

"Let me clarify, finding the rocket launcher is correct. I just... used it."

With this line from Kyungbok, the audience's laughter grew even louder.

-Just (can't do it without Purple)

-Purple must be working hard on homework, haha

-Pros, pay attention! ^^

-Ah, so a rocket launcher is needed?

-But there wasn't one, right?

-There was one, right?

Meanwhile, John put down the rocket launcher and rushed to Sandra, who had fallen. Her body was covered in wounds, as if she had been caught in an explosion.

"Sandra, are you okay?"

"I'm... not... okay."

It was clear she was in pain.

Naturally, the audience expressed their dissatisfaction.

-No way;;;

-This is a bit too much?

-If someone sees this, they'll think Purple made a mistake.

-Ah, haha, suddenly it's all clear.

Fortunately, the audience's attention quickly shifted. A monstrous roar suddenly came from below.

-What, this isn't the ending?

-What else is left?

-Backstab Crisis, indeed;;;

-Just let John and Sandra be happy!

John hurriedly helped Sandra to her feet.

"How can this be..."

"We need to request rescue again."

He laid Sandra on the sofa and quickly connected with the military.

<Thank goodness you're safe. We'll send a rescue team right away, so please wait.>

"How long will it take? The zombies are coming."

<We'll get there as fast as we can.>

John gritted his teeth.

But urging them wouldn't change anything.

"...I understand."

His complex expression was followed by the view darkening.

-Phew, looks like the timing won't match.

-Ah, haha, this cliché is so overused.

-Really, can't they just come right away?

-They'll save them, right? Haha

-They'll save them... right?

The chat window was filled with worried comments, trying to act calm.

The scene then changed.

John and Sandra were back on the helipad, but the situation didn't look good.

John was keeping the bio-mechanisms at bay from the railing.

But there were too many.

"Sandra!"

"John...! We're out of ammo...!"

He turned his head sharply. Sandra's face was filled with despair.

It wasn't over yet.

The noise of thumping drew their attention to the barricaded rooftop entrance.

"Oh no..."

The zombies that had invaded the building had clearly reached this point. They were in a dire situation, with no ammo and two helpless people.

-Ah, haha, this is so cliché. So cliché!

-They won't kill the protagonist and the heroine, right? Right?

-Just let them escape! I'm getting dizzy!

-Is this a bad game? A great game? A bad game? A great game? A bad game? A great game?

-These people who approved this story should all be fired.

-If they keep backstabbing, they should frontstab too, right?

The chat window was trembling with anxiety.

The thumping and the monstrous roars from below grew louder. Shadows of despair fell over John and Sandra's faces.

"John..."

At that moment, Sandra handed John the last magazine. John quickly reloaded.

But her target wasn't the zombies.

"I don't want you to see me as a monster."

Sandra grabbed the gun and pressed it to her forehead.

-Oh, please...

-Sandra, why are you doing this!

-I'm crying? I'm really crying?

-I failed. I failed. I failed. I failed.

The audience's feelings were mirrored in John's shock. But Sandra spoke first.

"I already heard everything. Before you came, from Jessica..."

"What?"

"We might mutate even if we escape... because we were together..."

Her words sounded like a rebuke to John.

But Sandra...

"But not for a single moment."

She smiled at him.

"I don't regret the time we spent together."

A close-up of her face, with tears at the corners of her eyes contrasting with her smile.

Naturally, the chat window exploded.

-Sandra punch ㅠ! Sandra punch ㅠ!

-Stop the death flag! Stop the death flag! Stop the death flag!

-Please, let our Sandra live ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-How much? How much to fix the ending!?

-I'll, I'll become a dog! Woof! Woof!

But their wishes were not conveyed. John's trembling finger pulled the trigger.

"Thank you."

Sandra closed her eyes.

The view rose to the sky, and a gunshot was heard.

The chat window froze as if time had stopped.

But the view then descended to show a bio-mechanism falling with a hole in its head.

"Look, Sandra...!"

Hope had returned to John's face. A close-up of Sandra's body showed her wounds slowly healing, similar to John's symptoms.

-Wow!

-Sandra's regeneration kicked in!

-The elixir and the compatible factor must have worked together, haha

-Ah, haha, I knew it (I didn't)

-Ah, haha, I'm tired of this kind of plot (picking up the fallen heart)

-Pros are so cute, haha

But it was only a moment.

With a loud crash, the barricade finally broke, and zombies burst out.

-Damn, haha, can't relax at all.

-It's over (putting down the heart)

-What the heck, why did you put it down, haha

-But they'll survive with the elixir, right?

John and Sandra hastily opened fire, but it seemed impossible to stop the flood of zombies.

Just then.

The sound of buzzing wings came from above. As the two looked up, someone jumped from a flying drone.

The man landed with a heavy thud, fully equipped with protective gear and a helmet. He immediately started eliminating the zombies.

-Oh?

-It's a happy ending!

-Ah, haha, now it's more relaxing.

-But it's not the military?

-Not a respawn farm either?

-What is it?

As the audience's curiosity grew, the cutscene continued.

"Did you get bitten!?"

"We're fine!"

In response to his question, John answered urgently. The man nodded and threw a grenade while crouching.

Zombies were scattered by the explosion, and the man quickly fired a flare into the sky.

A helicopter soon descended, but it wasn't a military one.

"I'll cover you, hurry!"

As the ladder was lowered, the man shouted. John sent Sandra up first and followed.

Though bio-mechanisms appeared, they were no match for the man.

He skillfully defended and grabbed the ladder. The helicopter then started to ascend.

"Thank you for saving us!"

"Me too. But... who are you?"

Sandra didn't lower her guard. The man, sitting opposite them, removed his helmet.

-What? What what what?

-Wow, haha, haha, haha

-Ah, haha, this is a welcome twist!

-Ah, haha, I'm blown away

The chat window was filled with excitement as his face was revealed. Kyungbok had a feeling.

"My name is Ryan Kim. I used to be a police officer, but... as you can see, I do this kind of work now."

-Great game! Great game! Great game! Great game!

-Here comes Ryan, haha

-Info: Ryan Kim is the protagonist of the console version of Bark.

-They definitely gave him special treatment, haha

Kyungbok immediately understood the situation from the following chat.

"There's a lot to tell you, but... it's best to rest now."

In response to Ryan's words, John and Sandra nodded. They then firmly held hands.

The view pulled back to show the cityscape. The helicopter flew away from the city, now filled with zombies, and the view gradually darkened.

[Chapter 5. 'EXIT' End]

The ending text appeared, along with the Bio Crisis logo.

-The highest high!

-Really, it's amazing, haha, haha, haha

-Is it a good ending? Is it a good ending? Is it a good ending? Is it a good ending?

-This is what a game is, haha, haha

The audience was ecstatic.

Kyungbok, looking pleased, opened his eyes wide as the screen brightened again.

"What? There's more?"

The cutscene wasn't over yet. The chat window was filled with question marks.

"Is it a cookie video? It's been a while. I'll keep watching."

The ruined Respawn Farm headquarters.

A military helicopter landed on the rooftop.

"Clear."

"Clear!"

A man descended, escorted by soldiers. He immediately headed to the principal's office.

The office was in chaos. Soldiers checked for safety and quickly began to clean up.

The man looked at the torn photo of the principal and spoke.

"Jessica, did you ultimately fail?"

This comment filled the chat window with question marks.

-What is it?

-Wow? No way?

-Jessica wasn't part of the principal's family, haha

"Woah... Jessica was the principal herself."

Kyungbok's comment quickly appeared in the chat.

-Oh, haha, haha, last-minute twist

-She was maintaining her youth with the elixir.

-Sika's tears, haha, haha

-When setting up the Honey Team, she should have switched sides, haha

-I thought Sika Coin was delisted, but it was a scam, haha, haha

As the soldiers finished cleaning up, the man turned and turned on the computer.

Kyungbok couldn't open the encrypted files, but the man easily opened and checked them.

The scene then switched to the monitor.

The document was filled with unknown graphs, numbers, and images representing cell mutations.

[Project Eternal.]

The man smiled at the title at the top. As he and the soldiers collected the data and left the office, the screen gradually darkened.

[Thank You For Playing!]

The text indicating the true end appeared.

-Oh, haha, it's a hint for a sequel

-Well... it's really over.

-There seems to be a mole in the military?

-The next one will be on a larger scale, right?

-Wow, haha, this is revealed now.

-Really, it was so much fun, haha, haha

-It's a happy ending, which is a relief...

The audience finally accepted the ending with relief.

"Woah... the next one will be really fun too."

Kyungbok added his comment.

His sincerity was evident, given how much he enjoyed the Bio Crisis broadcast.

-Oh, haha, I want to see Purple messing with the military.

-With that physique, anything would be fun, haha, haha

-Just crush the Overlord~

"Thank you for the donations. I really enjoyed it. I'm happy to have played such a great game with all of you."

-Oh, haha, so sweet.

-Really, no regrets.

-Oh, haha, the tiredness is for tomorrow's me!

-The date has changed, so it's today, haha, haha

Despite the fatigue from staying up late.

'This is the taste of streaming.'

Kyungbok's heart was filled with happiness at the audience's sincere reactions.

"Well, thank you for watching until the end. I'll see you in the next stream!"

-Bro! You did a great job!

-See you!

-Bye!

Kyungbok, as always, smiled widely and said,

"Have a good night, Truba!"
