Upon reaching the BS-1 floor after getting information from Aiden, Tae-jung could feel the air was different as soon as she got out of the elevator.
It’s refreshing, but somehow it makes me feel good.
There was also a sweet scent that might be a bit unfamiliar here.
Its identity was right in front of my eyes.
A spacious bridge in the form of a transparent tunnel looking out.
Flowers and plants were scattered to the left and right like a garden, and it felt like I was in a sky garden on the roof of a general shopping mall.
“It is definitely different. How much money did you get right?”
The size was also large, but it was a mysterious taejeong how maintenance was going.
Crossing the bridge with anticipation, he operated the button as in the previous place.
Squeak-!
Contrary to what I thought there would be some great security, the door installed on the outer wall opened too easily.
So, the inside that I saw was truly luxurious itself.
First of all, the scale was bigger than any place I’ve seen so far.
The distance between the front and back, left and right, was considerable, and if I had to compare it, it felt bigger than the lobby of the old Myeongdo Hotel.
What was surprising was the facilities inside.
This place, which was expected to be filled with luxurious furniture and decorations, was, in a word, a primeval forest.
Beginning with a huge two-story tall tree, mysterious trunks and numerous plants climbing the walls in all directions.
There was even a small waterfall in front, and things that looked like sparrows (?) were constantly chirping around.
How the hell did you implement this?
This was a robot base located quite deep in Antarctica.
A huge amount of money would have been spent not only on management, but also on moving the scion and seedlings.
Such a luxury in a room only occupied by a few people.
I thought it was a waste of something, but I couldn’t help but open my mouth.
“Still, it’s cool, it’s cool. What are the people who write these places doing?”
I couldn’t help but wonder.
Wouldn’t this be enough for real key figures to live there?
Tae-jeong started looking around the room, looking for the hallways as in the previous place.
“Is this it?”
A small inlet lined with plant stems next to a waterfall.
Upon entering, a luxurious lobby appeared with a pure white background.
“There was a separate lobby.”
It’s a while to stick out your tongue at a considerable scale.
He soon found an aisle in the middle of the cabin.
Curiously, unlike other places before, the passage was blocked by something in the form of glass protruding forward.
Devices that can be opened are nowhere to be seen.
“I think I need some permission here too.”
Taejeong looked around and found a guide robot to help her.
But even after washing my eyes and looking for it, the robot couldn’t even look at it.
“In this wide space, people of this class use it, but isn’t there a common guide robot? Is this for privacy?”
It was a plausible idea.
But it didn’t really matter.
The important thing is that you have to open the glass wall of this passage to enter.
After thinking about what to do for a while, Taejeong decided to go with the regular method (?).
Zwang-!
Plasma surged from his lightsaber.
At the same time, I cut the glass wall with all my might, and a gap opened as if leather was being ripped apart.
“Isn’t that glass? Does it happen in a strange way?”
Confirming that it was not broken but cut, Taejeong cut the membrane along the rim.
The film that came off rolled around on the floor and went inside, and he could see a door right in the front and center.
Contrary to his expectations, there was only one room here.
That means that there is a high probability of being a key person among key personnel.
After confirming that there was no device to operate, Taejeong summoned plasma and hit the door without hesitation.
Weeweewing-!
Plasma that resonates and does not enter.
It was a familiar situation somehow.
“Could this be it?”
It was the barrier of the weapons control room.
As anxiety creeps in.
The lightsaber in his right hand disappeared, and spear blades were summoned in both hands.
Thicker and more terrifying plasma erupted from both of his hands.
Wheein-!
As expected, plasma that does not enter as if blocked by an intangible wall.
With a dark expression, he let out a sigh and murmured.
“Looks like the same material. If that’s the case, there’s no point in coming here.”
It was a big disappointment because I came with high expectations.
In this way, it was impossible to look at important places that would be clues to the quest.
“Do you have Freesia?”
It was a word I called just in case.
But the answer comes back.
-Freesia is currently in a state where her consciousness is sealed.
“Are you still sleeping? When it’s like this… Don’t you have a way too?”
-It’s difficult to tell you anything related to the progress of the quest.
It was an answer that I expected enough, so I didn’t feel any emotions anymore.
“great. solve it yourself Let’s see. Well, you can never go through this door. Plasma doesn’t work because there’s no point in using other weapons. Then somewhere else… Well? for a moment.”
He muttered to look around the other floors, then looked up at the ceiling as if he remembered something.
“No matter how high-tech it is, there won’t be vents. There will be water pipes and plumbing. At least I have to use water.”
He mumbled as if possessed by something, and began to look everywhere with a hawk’s eye.
I didn’t see anything like that in the aisle.
All walls from the ceiling to the exterior walls.
But outside, things were different.
Unidentified holes visible as soon as they come out.
It was the same as the vents seen in modern times.
Using the blaster, he rose into the air and tore open the ventilation shaft with his hand.
A cover that comes off surprisingly easily.
The problem was that it was so narrow that you couldn’t see inside.
A narrow aisle where even one’s head cannot enter.
It was barely enough for one fist to enter.
“ah. I think it would be good to just check that this is bent.”
It headed down the hallway, but it wasn’t a problem getting in if you knew.
This is because he has a rare fraudulent skill called Flexion.
The problem was that since the reuse time was 7 days, it could only be used once.
If you go in and get blocked, it’s like throwing skills away.
After taking off his gloves and putting his hand in, and trying to get as close to his face as possible, Taejeong finally decided to use a lightsaber to widen the hole.
However.
Wheein-!
“How is the entire building solid?”
An attack that doesn’t even eat seeds.
In the end, he decided to float in the air for a while and roughly grasp the structure from the outside.
Conclusions were quickly reached.
“If there is no ventilation here, it will fall into another place in the room. Then you have to dig the ground. How deep is this? It’s not like there’s another base on the other side. No matter how you think about it, this is the right place.”
Having made up his mind, Taejeong asked Gerard.
“Can you do this while wearing a suit?”
-Available.
“great. I’m a bit nervous about this… 1.87 cm.”
Taejeong took a deep breath and immediately activated the superelectronic flexion.
Then the surroundings moved in slow motion, and in an instant his field of view was filled with a huge outer wall.
“this… did it happen?”
As if he didn’t realize it, he used the blaster to move away for a long time.
And a huge ventilation shaft that can be seen.
It was certain that his body had shrunk.
“Wow… Can you go up there?”
The actual height of the place where the ventilation hole was located was not very high, just over 2 meters, but as his body became smaller, it was more than a high-rise building with more than 50 floors.
The maximum altitude of the blaster is about 150 meters, so considering that the performance has fallen together, it is about 1.5 meters.
But this wasn’t too much of a concern.
Fortunately, he had a supercharger that he got from coming here.
Taejeong, who put a supercharger on her blaster, raised the altitude to the maximum.
Then his new model rose in an instant and reached the ventilation shaft.
As soon as you enter, you will see a corner on the left.
It meant there was space for something.
A little bit of a smile on your lips.
Turning the corner revealed an endless passageway.
It was on the way to the room hallway.
“Also.”
His new model moved forward rapidly.
* * *
Inside an unknown cave.
Dozens of hunters were hunting a huge monster.
However, the look was a little strange.
Men and women standing in front and tanking without equipment.
Outside of that, people who seemed to be dealers were watching as if they were watching, and the deals were being put by mages in the back.
What was even more bizarre was that the mages’ magic did not discriminate against allies.
“Move quickly! Do you want to die!?”
“I don’t think I can anymore.”
“What a weak voice. I have to go back.”
“hey! Come again later.”
At someone’s warning, the hunters who were tanking scattered in all directions.
A terrifying mass of fire falling at the same time.
It instantly expanded its range and wrapped around the monster, and the two hunters who could not avoid it were burnt to death.
“Those bastards! I will kill you.”
“Don’t say you’re full, and if you have enough mana, hit your shield. They all look like they’re going to die.”
“My mana ran out immediately. Even if you have the equipment, you should catch it or not… … .”
When the two men were having a short conversation while watching the monster, a shrieking sound came from the left.
“Kyaaak!”
When I turned my head, a female hunter who appeared to be Asian was being crushed by the monster’s foot.
Several hunters running to save it.
But with no equipment or mana, all they could do was die together.
That’s how five or six Hunters ended their lives again.
Another man stopped the man who was trying to run towards them.
“Don’t let go!?”
“Wake. Now is not the time to be thinking about others. Concentrate on surviving unconditionally.”
“Looking at that, how… … .”
The man clenched his fists and tried to look away, but on one side, the European-looking Hunter’s hands sensed an unusual storm of mana.
“what? Did you still have that much mana left over there? for a moment. But the direction… … .”
The direction the magic was flying was strange.
The monster is on this side, but why does the magic fly towards the entrance?
The doubts did not last long.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
An explosion occurred and the dealers and wizards at the entrance were engulfed in flames.
Right then.
A shout echoed from the other side as if it had been promised.
“Everyone run away!”
The man who tried to jump out at the sound and the man who caught him.
Their eyes met in midair.
‘let’s go. This could be your last chance.’
The people who became one body started running toward the entrance.
The hunters escape from the cave one by one.
But that opportunity was not given to everyone.
“Keep!”
“Aagh! My, please!”
“Live… … .”
Some hunters who moved quickly succeeded in escaping as people in the rear died.
One of the executives who was managing them approached another executive and asked.
“Shall we follow him?”
“Leave it. Regardless of whether you starve to death or freeze to death, you won’t be able to get out of here unless you have a boat. More than that, since the shield is all gone, I think I can catch it now.”
“Yes. I will power it on.”
The hunt started again as if nothing had happened.
