Hunter of the Perished World

Mr. Odin, who was working, tilted his head to the report that the secretary brought.

“Hmm? Say that again. ”

“Reportedly, Ramfil may be a soldier from Wargrave. The Wargrave uniform was found on the package. ”

“Hmm…. There's a chance he found the uniform somewhere, isn't there? Or for camouflage...”

“Given the ranks and badges, there's very little chance of that. ”

“… Why are Wargrave soldiers traveling with hunters? If you were going to do something in the first place, there wouldn't be one or two Wargrave Fortress... ”

Mr. Odin frowns at the less likely report. If not, we can't rule out the possibility that the hunters are working together on Wargrave's quest. Whatever your intentions, you wouldn't know it if Wargrave Soldier was wandering around with a twisted skill.

Is Wargrave planning something? No... I'm too cautious to say that. ’

It was too conspicuous of an act to dismantle the gang from the sight of it moving in secret. Rather, it was more likely that the Wargraves in the area were virtually unrelated.

Collecting chips is more than just one or two nearby Fortress, so you can request support. Collecting the chips without doing so was unlikely, in fact.

‘I don't know what it is, but it's very unpleasant.... ’

Whether or not it was related to Fortress, just not knowing about it was enough for Mr. Odin to offend.

“Make the call." I need to talk to you. ”

“Yes.”

Luwin's assistant swiftly touches something and soon makes something on Mr. Odin's desk cry.

Tiri RiRi Ri!

It was a phone call.

Communication symbolizes great power in this era, and it cannot be used by anyone. Mr. Odin also built an internal network, but never allowed it to go outside.

Communications soon became available only to Odin Corporation in this metropolitan area.

Of course, that communication was being used in any location that was not included in the metropolitan area.

[It's been a while, Mr. Odin. It seems like it's been a while since you've called in person.]

“Hello, Commander. It's been a long time."

Connected was the total leader of the Wargrave Central Asian army. The ruler of this metropolitan city and the ruler of all Wargraves in Asia were in contact.

It was a natural thing to do, but it was quite recent to establish this contact system.

“Despite my curiosity, I contacted them. ”

[What do you want to know?]

“Do you happen to know of a Wargrave Soldier by the name of Ramfil? Recently, it has to do with big and small things in this big city... Honestly, I don't think it's appropriate to ask the Commander. I wanted to ask you if you know anything. ”

Sometimes it's better to bump your head in person than to roll your head. If the Commander was consistent with Morse, it would be suspicious, and if he said he would look into it, he would be able to reconfirm his faith.

But the Commander's reaction was completely unexpected.

[Ramfil? Did you say Ramfil?]

“Yes? Ah... Yes, but…. ”

[I'd like you to elaborate.]

“Hmm?"

Mr. Odin tilts his head when he has an unexpected reaction. As Mr. Odin hesitates for a moment, a nervous voice erupts from behind the handset.

[This is very important to us. Where did you see the executor?]

"Enforcer"?

Luwin notices something strange is going on.

District 83.

Ramfil, who had traveled a long way from the 82nd precinct, said as he looked around.

“Things have been different around here. ”

Unlike other places where the billboards and commercials flashed, 83 districts remained intact but had a eerie atmosphere without a single person. It was only rats that walked along the main road and the small roads, of course.

Somehow, the green cloudy fog shifted at the far end of the road.

It was a fluke to answer Ramfil's question.

“There used to be a pharmaceutical factory complex. ”

The remains were moving cautiously in an exoskeleton-reinforced suit.

In the distant past, there were many pharmaceutical companies, and thanks to the factory complex, 83 districts were teeming with traders selling to workers and their workers.

“Something's come up? ”

“There was a pharmaceutical gas leak at a company called Grimpills. It was the largest factory, and it had a big aftermath. ”

The answer this time was the marriage.

“Was it a dangerous gas? ”

“This is exactly where the major drug industry used to be, for example. So we refine and store the CP extracted from the chip. If you use the right amount, the risks are low and drugs are definitely effective. ”

It was 83 districts in the past that brought together factories of similar industries to form industrial complexes. As the description grew longer, Gene hung up.

“A massive CP gas storage tank exploded. Is that correct?"

“That's right.”

“That's right.”

Both nod at Jean's words. The CP gas tank used at the drug factory exploded. That meant that very high concentrations of CP gas were spreading around.

“Why did that happen? ”

“There's talk of Grimfelds being attacked by some kind of industrial spy, and there's talk of terrorism of some angry citizens selling drugs. Well, it could simply be a malfunction. ”

The sickness continued to walk.

“But the important thing is that the gas tank exploded and exposed the factory and, of course, a lot of the people working in the area to ultra-concentric CP. ”

“... That must have been terrible. ”

Everyone here knew what happens to people who are heavily exposed to chaos Poison. Die or become a vagrant. Tae Marriage was hard to imagine at that time.

“A lot of the people in this area inhaled CP, and their lungs melted, or they had acute seizures, and the vagrants in '83 touched another gas tank and triggered a chain explosion, enveloping the entire area, as well as the surrounding area, in CP gas. At the time, even the hunters were struggling to clear the area. ”

Since then, the vagrants in 83 have been cleared out by hunters, but no more people can live on land and buildings already contaminated with ultra-concentrated CP gas. Since then, this area has been left in ruins, a place where no one can live.

Of course, occasionally, people who are hit and beaten and can't live in Harlem sometimes become bored wanderers trying to live here.

Tae-Mar said that and stopped walking, and everyone stopped. There was already so much green fog that it was visible to the naked eye. Taehorn took the mask from his coat and wore it skillfully with one hand.

In the case of guardians, the helmet itself has the function of the protective mask, so all you have to do is activate the cleansing function.

The pandemic looked at Gin and said,

“CP concentration is high from this region. Wearing a mask... ”

“I'm fine. ”

“So am I. ”

Gin and Ramfil did not wear gas masks. Gene had just recovered quite a bit of energy, but Ramfil was originally a cyborg, almost immune to CP. They no longer questioned or questioned Gin and Ramfil.

The scout enters the green mist.

“We searched everywhere for the Hive, but the last one we found was in 83. It's not a dangerous place, so I didn't expect to barge in. ”

The last place they searched the entire city was right here in District 83, where they found their way into the Hive from this barren wreckage basket. A hole in the metropolitan area and a dangerous place, but within 30 minutes of walking, people lived nearby.

Ramfil felt that it was strange, yet somewhat understandable.

Ordinary buildings were stabbed by chaos Poison, but we didn't really know what was different. Ramfil saw in real time that the CP concentration checked in his eyes was unusual.

At this level, it was close to the Mass Confusion Point (MCP) on the inside of Fortress. Even though it was outside, the inside was even worse.

Taehwan and the pandemic continue to check the exact location of the area, circling the area. The fog is not serious, but it limits the visibility, and all is gradually fading away.

Kieeek, kh-ug.

Far away, you hear the sound of something that is neither human nor animal. But the scout does not stop walking, just pulls out his weapon.

Naturally, it is natural that these abandoned spaces are mixed with non-human ones. Everyone walks slowly, nervous.

I didn't say anything, but they stood in line. In the following order: Yuan, Tamarry, Lamfil, and Jin, each of them advances slowly, wary of the front, left, right, and rear.

Three are veterans and Ramfil is a soldier. It was enough that we didn't have to have this conversation.

I had to check the top, not in front of my eyes, where to look while walking through the city. Without any conversation, they proceed cautiously and slowly.

Fluffy

You hear footsteps coming and going from the building somewhere and the sound of something moving. Monsters were cautious as the scouts were cautious.

Slow progress continues for about a decade, and the lead etiology raises a hand.

“I think he's gone. ”

Those who wanted to be monsters or vagrants disappeared, leaving only a distant sound.

Enemies don't always raid.

They are also creatures, so they also retreat when the opponent appears dangerous. In this case, something lurks around and eventually gives up the raid and disappears.

“I'll speed it up a bit. ”

The pandemic speeds up, followed by three. However, he did not hesitate to keep an eye on his surroundings.

Whether rumors of scouts spread in the buildings of the housing complex or they felt a dangerous atmosphere of scouts, monsters fled as they passed by. Even the monsters of ignorance felt the crisis and ran away.

Suddenly, the pandemic stops.

“Almost there. ”

“... This is bad. ”

Suddenly, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, the buildings turn into rubble. The buildings that collapsed in a circle were showing vividly what the explosion was like back then.

The CP extracted from a mass of energy called chips was also poisonous and contained energy.

It was no wonder an explosion of this magnitude was created because such a mass of energy exploded.

There wouldn't even be a trace of a factory complex in the waterfall.

Ramfil said.

“We need to disinfect it properly when we get out. ”

Even if he wasn't a vagrant, he was at a tremendous CP concentration that would get pinched by CP and cause damage to the surroundings. But he said, "Don't worry about the pandemic."

“I already have a team of Admirals in place at the Station. ”

“Excellent.”

I felt again the eternal truth that capital is convenient.

The scouts walked the 83 precincts where the ruins began.

The entrance to the Hive is not exactly the entrance, but a kind of tunnel in which the earth collapses and is exposed, close to the entrance to the Hive.

The tunnel was huge enough not to collapse completely in the impact of the explosion.

Jinn and Ramfil have never seen anything like it, but the remains and marriages are staring at the pit, frozen like a stone.

I lost everything here and never thought I'd be able to come back.

The hunter's remains were once again a servant of the Odin Corporation who used them, and the marriage became crippled. They had hardly encountered each other since then, but now they share their fears and their defeats.

“Let's go.”

Taehon speaks out, and the pandemic nods.

They go back into the giant hole that once swallowed everything they had.

And then there's the Devil Hunter and the Wargrave Executive.
