Episode 81. 5th Rift (2)
The whole city is noisy with alarms.
Ray got permission to land on campus with almost the highest priority. It was thanks to BS immediately taking action.
Besides, the airship stops at the taxi stand?
This was also possible because BS is the owner of Sunrise River Sky.
However, the actual owner of the apartment was separate.
Laura Oh, the eldest daughter of the ‘Roly-Poly Company’.
In this way, BS exercised its influence everywhere without revealing its existence directly.
While the children are away for a while.
Ray called BS.
“Professor, I am.”
– I got permission to fly.
“I also ask for permission to land on the Echo Base. The kids brought their friends. There is a student named Kudanji, and it seems that the kids want to go with them.”
– It’s a club… … You mean the one sponsored by Silas Meyer Gonom?
“yes.”
– hmm… … .
It’s not an easy decision for BS either.
After much thought, he opened his mouth.
– Let’s burn together and set off. Be careful. The situation is dire.
Ray waited anxiously for the children.

‘It’s a crack… … .’
This was the first time Ray, even BS, experienced cracks.
The current city-state system began 300 years ago. It was right after the transition period of 200 years had ended.
The most recent crack occurred exactly 102 years ago. At that time, the world population was about 80 million people, of which 11 million died.
‘At that time, Bravo Base suffered the most damage.’
More than half of the deaths came from the Bravo base. It was because a rift opened near the Bravo base.
Perhaps this rift will not be as damaging as it was 100 years ago. In the meantime, mana firearm technology has developed by leaps and bounds. Each country had enough reserves of rare stones to use in case of emergency.
same time.
Dio watched in silence as Dante packed his things.
“Shall I get you something to drink?”
“exorcism. Give me plenty of carbonated water.”
“I get it.”
D.O filled a large eco-bag with drinks and energy capsules.
“Is this true? Are you still doubting that I am not a simulation?”
“That’s why MR is dangerous. If you get too immersed in it, the line between virtual and real blurs.”
“Haaa… … . Echo Base should have been turned upside down by now. I don’t know if my family will be okay.”
“Can’t you reach me?”
“It’s a mess from the start. The antenna doesn’t float.”
“okay?”
Dante pulled out his phone and checked it.
“Is mine an antenna pool? Contact me with this.”
“what. Is it because I used a cheating cell phone?”
Dio tried to contact Dante on his cell phone, but was unsuccessful.
Why is Dante’s cell phone exploding, but D.O’s is not? Simple.
The BS division, including Dante and Alicia, communicated through a private satellite in the name of ‘Laura Oh’.
The BS division uses mobile phones equipped with low-orbit satellite communication capabilities.
Normally, it goes through the base station of a general telecommunications company, but when BS divisions make calls, it is switched to satellite communication.
“madam. Can’t connect.”
“Let’s go for now.”
Dante encouraged Dio by patting him on the back.
I didn’t bother to give light consolation such as ‘it will be okay’.
Ray picked up the children and moved to Agras 3rd Airport. There, I transferred to a 10-seater plane.
A model equipped with stealth function, monster detection radar, and anti-monster mana missile. This is the high-end model that Dante rode when he first visited the BS bunker.
Dante looked out the window.
Planes that had not been cleared to take off were lined up.
The airport was a mayhem.
Dante and his party got off the runway and immediately transferred, so they couldn’t see the situation outside.
While Ray prepares for takeoff.
The children talked to each other as if they were anxious.
Dio took the seat next to Dante.
“But can we fly?”
Everyone was equally anxious.
Can you fly properly through the mana storm that covered the sky?
Alicia, who was browsing the Internet, spoke.
“A regular airliner won’t take off. Everyone seems to be stuck at the airport.”
“Senior Al. Aren’t we also regular airliners?”
“Isn’t it? We must be VVIP airliners? don’t worry too much This plane has everything you need. Right, mister?”
Ray gave an OK sign overhead.
It was just a gesture to reassure the children.
‘under. Oh God.’
Mana Storm itself does not affect flight. So there was no need to be anxious about the shimmering aurora.
The problem is cracks.
For now, I can only hope that no rifts will open in the travel path.
Ray told the necessary story for the anxious children.
“Guys. Mana Storm has little to do with flying. So don’t be too scared Understand?”
Alicia replied in a playful voice.
“I think you’re afraid of him the most?”
In fact, Alicia was right.
Five lives are in Ray’s hands. I couldn’t help but feel a great sense of responsibility.
After waiting for about 40 minutes, the plane took off.
Although it took some time, it was a miracle that a passenger plane was approved in this country.
After exchanging text messages with someone for a while, Dante tapped Dio on the forearm.
“hey. You said your house was in District 8, right?”
“uh.”
“When you arrive, take your family to District 13.”
“Area 13? It’s a research lab over there.”
“There is a first-class bunker in the basement of the research center. I told you to make a place for your family.”
“really?”
Alicia, who had been listening, burst into exasperation.
“damn! I was talking to my dad too. Did you talk to Dr. Grace?”
“uh.”
After hearing the story, D.O. liked it very much.
He was so happy that he grabbed Dante’s face and tried kissing him on the cheek.
Dante was frightened and pushed Dio’s stomach with his foot.
“Aww. Did you turn?”
Dio didn’t care and rushed at Alicia.
Double Q (SS)
Frosted Eye Beam (SS)
Lion’s Roar: I’ll Go Behind (EX)
I sat down only after being beaten with a 3-step combo with time difference.
“and… … . I’m so grateful. Thank you so much. Thank you also senior Al. for caring about A grade 1 bunker for my subject.”
The bunkers in the lab are only two levels.
There were only grades 1 and 2.
In Level 1, poison samples are moved first, and the immediate family of superhuman researchers stays.
Grace did not make this decision blindly.
If Alicia and Dante had come to the lab, they would have been assigned to a first-class bunker.
However, since the two of them were going to BS’s bunker, they decided that it would be okay to give the place to D.O’s family.
Gu Danji tapped Alicia on the back of her hand and asked a question.
“Where am I going?”
“hmm… … . wait for a sec?”
Alicia approached Ray and asked quietly.
“mister. Just how?”
“BS said okay.”
“Eh? Really?”
Alicia tilted her head.
I’m honestly surprised
Although we rode the same plane, I thought there was a high probability that Danji would end up going to the bunker on the lab side.
Ray continued.
“You know that. BS is that everything has a plan.”
“but.”
Letting outsiders into the bunker?
It’s a lot of doubt, but it’s not something to think about deeply.
BS has plans for everything.
One word was enough.
Because BS is someone who doesn’t act for no reason.
Alicia looked at Dante and nodded once.
I was thinking of explaining the details to Danji after D.O.
After escaping from the sky above Agras, the mana storm also subsided. It was a level that was clearly distinguished by the naked eye.
‘Then does the rift open near Agras?’
Dante knew three things about the rift.
First, dragons always appeared in the rifts.
Second, there were massive casualties every time.
Third, the cracks opened about every 100 years. The shortest cycle was 83 years and the longest was 132 years.
And the number of times the rift opened in the earth was only five. Data is lacking. This means that it is difficult to predict.
If so, did the Superman Association deliberately hide the signs of a rift? right.
Will you deceive the people? Wrong.
Modern people always live with anxiety. News of the deaths of superhumans and miners sacrificed on outer planets is delivered about once a week.
There was no need to press the news of a rift that might open at any time. Another reason for this decision was that there have always been precursors before cracks.
mana storm.
As expected, the dragon will appear in the next 2-3 days. This means you have plenty of time to evacuate to a safe zone.
Humanity has thoroughly prepared for the next rift for 100 years.
For now, the key was what kind of ‘ability’ the dragon would appear in ‘where’.
Dante was more concerned about his friends than his safety.
‘The BS bunker will be safer than most first-class shelters.’
I had no doubts about that part at all. Otherwise, there was no way BS would have mobilized all of its personal connections and even called the bunker.
‘If you haven’t met BS… … How was it?’
Charlie Base is basically an underground city, and the city itself is a huge bunker. 5th grade, the lowest grade.
And a separate high-end bunker facility was prepared deeper underground.
The affluent middle class buys 3rd and 4th grade bunkers, and the upper class owns 1st and 2nd grade private bunkers.
Where will the common people go?
A grade 5 bunker, it was his own home.
The children rarely talked while on the move.
‘Jjoon this child. I should be safe… … .’
‘I guess Freesia went to the Stella bunker, right?’
‘I didn’t even say hello to Fabio Gonom and came out.’
Among them, the person with the most thoughts was Claudio.
The atmosphere in District 8 is usually rough.
It had the highest crime rate of all 527 districts in the six countries, and hundreds of serious crimes such as drugs, assault and rape were committed every day.
About an hour after flying.
Ray asked Dio.
“Claudio. What is your home address?”
“uh… … District 8, 77-93 Street, Unit 227, Complex 3.”
“Huh. Are you from District 8?”
“… … yes.”
Ray clicked his tongue inwardly.
A person from Echo Base District 8 enrolled in a prestigious academy?
It was a very rare case.
‘That bastard’s parents must have had a hard time waking up.’
“If you have a picture of your family, send me one.”
“A picture? hmm… … .”
“Can you go to District 8 by yourself and bring your family out?”
“Yeah… … .”
“I don’t have time. hurry.”
D.O connected to the in-flight Wi-Fi network and sent the photo to Ray.
“Any nicknames you had as a kid or information that only your family would know.”
“A star-shaped red spot on your buttocks?”
“I get it. Bring your family to the laboratory through acquaintances. Are you fine?”
“I would be very grateful if you could do that. I wonder if it’s just a nuisance… … .”
Alicia, who was listening, asked aloud.
“mister! Who are you going to send?”
“Who is who? It’s Karum.”
“If it’s Karum, is it my father, Karum Smith? I’m sure you’re a trustworthy person!”
D.O. was at a loss as to how to express his gratitude more.
“Thank you so much!”
“What is this about? If my kids are friends, they are all my kids.”
Dante raised his thumb against the back of Ray’s head.
“Uncle, thank you too.”
“What is gratitude? He’s my best friend’s son, and this is nothing.”
When it comes to lifelong friends for superhumans, most of them pick their academy mates.
It was because they went through hard training and missions together, and there were many opportunities to meet them even when they went out into society.
Looking at the 4 Musketeers, Rey also remembered her academy days.
Echo Base 3rd Airport.
At the airport, Karum and D.O’s families were there to meet them.
“Haengnim!”
“Oh, my princess!”
From noble mtl dot com
The heartbreaking reunion of the Smiths continues.
D.O also exchanged greetings with his family.
Like Dante, a miner’s child, Dio did not have a very friendly relationship with his parents. Because we didn’t have much time together.
Alicia gave a word of advice to Carum.
“older brother. Take care of Dione’s family.”
After roughly organizing the situation at the slaughterhouse, Karum decided to join BS’ Bunker.
Alicia didn’t ask to leave with her. Because adults have things to do as adults.
“Gorum Gorum. She’s my princess’s friend, so of course you have to take care of it.”
“Not a friend, but a junior.”
Karum clicked his tongue.
“If you are one year older, you are friends. Kkondae, kkondae, very.”
“It’s been a while since we met, let’s not be like this, brother. What a nerd!”
Dio carefully intervened in the conversation between the father and daughter.
“But doesn’t senior Al go with you?”
“huh. We’re going to the bunker a short distance from here. The lab kids are nice, so take care of yourself. There’s a kid the size of Everett? You just need to avoid him.”
“I will keep in mind! So thank you, senior. Dante and you too.”
Ray clapped his hands and sorted out the situation.
“Then let’s scatter right away. Is the situation also a situation?”
Karum tapped Ray’s forearm lightly.
“Please take good care of our Risha.”
“Don’t worry and go.”
Danji also said his last goodbye to D.O.
“Goodbye D.O. We’ll see you soon!”
Karum watched the airship take off with a pleased expression.
‘I thought I couldn’t make friends after getting hit in the back of the head by my best friend. Great job, our Risha!’
