Hunter of the Perished World

A voice rang out in fear of calling someone on the intercom.

“I am Lt. Ramfil, executive officer in SMCP Portless. ”

[Welcome to HMCP Portless, Tribune. I'm Lieutenant Dagon, Doorman.]

“Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Dagon. ”

Ramfil's original rank was a rank lower than that of the so-called executive, but the rank itself was meaningless due to the nature of the job.

Executives, regardless of rank, treated themselves as colonels, treated as lieutenants, and higher-rank executives, depending on the situation.

Ramfil was also a temporary executive, so no matter what rank he was in, he had nothing to do with all but Warlords in Fortress. But Ramfil did what he did. In the end, there was nothing bad about respecting each other.

[Bailiff, before you open the door. Please explain who you see as a group.]

“These are the people who help me on my special mission. We're going in with you, so bring some extra CP suits. ”

[Outsider entry requires Warlord's permission.]

“I'll wait.”

Ramfil waits at the door, and a few moments later he hears back. Rather than having a fairly fast reporting system, the executive appeared and the whole of Fortress was nervous.

[Permission granted]

“Very well.”

[We will dispatch a leadership team with additional protective clothing. You can approach them and the armored car.]

Soon after Ramfil sent a call, Gene drove an armored car and arrived at the gate of the keep.

“Surprisingly, I thought we'd have to wait outside without permission. ”

“There are very few portless who don't need an executive. I tend to take care of conveniences. Bringing in an outsider is actually not that much of a problem. ”

“Weren't you a temp? ”

But Lamfil replied briefly, "How do you know about your period?"

“I know how people feel about executioners. ”

“How does that feel? ”

“Heroic and sad at the same time. ”

“Hmm…. I can do that. ”

It is the executioner who must face the cold wind, the homeless, and monsters and slatters. Wargrave soldiers are the ones who are most afraid of the outside world because they live in a quiet environment. But the enforcers are the ones who wander the wilderness devoted to Wargrave.

Of course, the heroic, and at the same time the older soldiers feel sorry for the enforcers. It's like treating a poor hero.

Leona didn't look too happy to be able to enter Fortress.

“It's overwhelming, so I'm afraid. ”

Instead, Leona was somewhat afraid of this facility because of its foreign nature. Soon the door will open and a squad member emerges from Fortress in protective clothing. As soon as they saw Ramfil, they bowed down and Ramfil bowed down.

“It's an honor to meet you, Praetor. ”

“Nice to meet you.”

Every squad with a full body of protective clothing was holding a laser rifle. The ground inside Fortress was dangerous due to high CP levels, so almost all personnel were wearing protective battle suits on a daily basis.

Of course, Ramfil did not need protective clothing because he was subjected to megaframe treatment, and the progress was rarely affected.

Jean wears protective clothing to avoid worthless suspicion, and Leona wears protective clothing with the help of her leadership team without knowing what it is.

“Ouch, so frustrating... Ugh! It's hot! ”

Leona frowned at the taste of death when she wore her full body armor to the mask. Jean was wearing a protective clothing with a coat, so she looked like a very fat person. He looked quite silly in his protective clothing on the armored car.

Leona smiles at Gin.

“You're being silly. ”

“So are you. ”

“Is that so?"

Leading the way, Leona and Jean walk while Ramfil drives the armored car. Immediately, the door closes with a heavy voice. Inside Fortress there was a fog level close to green.

“I don't know what it is, but it's so bumpy. ”

Ultra-concentrated CP causes tremendous pain upon inhalation. Of course, wearing only a functioning gas mask can neutralize most people, but even touching the skin is not safe.

In a haze of faint green, the leadership team escorts Jean's group to a large elevator.

“I'll take the car to the car elevator. ”

One of the soldiers who had been handed the wheel disappeared somewhere, and soon the ground began to go down by itself.

Whoo-hoo!

“Oh! Oh! What, what is this? ”

Leona is frightened to see the ceiling lid slowly closing as the ground grows dull. Jean gave it to Leona.

“Don't make a fuss, one by one. It looks gone.”

“The child is naturally surprised to see this. ”

“It's not just children who say that. ”

“He's just a kid everywhere. ”

The leadership team laughs to see if Jean and Leona have fun arguing. Ramfil stood still and said nothing about what he was thinking.

In fact, Ramfil was mostly bruised like that.

The three took off their protective clothing after crossing one of the protective doors.

“Please return all weapons you have. I'll return it when I leave. ”

That was for Leona and Jean. I came to Fortress, of course, to follow Fortress' laws, so I gave Leonardo a scrap gun and a revolver to watch Jean return weapons with ease.

But it's an empty place, and Gene deliberately pulled a bunch of weapons out of it. The leadership team was frustrated to see the first time they pulled weapons out of the void.

“What is this…. ”

“Understand the skill of a hunter. ”

However, Ramfil's eyes do not relax.

"No wonder it's called a amulet."

"Is that right…."

An outsider who broke the common sense. So, the leadership team decided that it would be someone with the right abilities and reasons.

In fact, it doesn't have to be, but Gene had every reason to return the hidden weapon on his own.

“I have a request to follow the laws of Fortress with all my heart. ”

“Well…. What is it?”

“Do you support firearms here? ”

“Ah…. The Great Barrier is the main mission, but there are maintenance men. ”

“Give me some maintenance. And I want to talk to you. You can do it yourself, but you don't want me to touch the equipment, do you? He won't tolerate having a weapon. ”

It was absurd to ask you to be responsible for the repairs since I took the time to repair the weapons. However, Gene was going to use what was available and pull out the mulberries using the fact that he was an executive's colleague.

“Mmmm... I'll make a suggestion.”

Gene nods happily in response to the squad leader. Across the blockade, the entry and exit procedures began.

From Leona's point of view, the process of entering Wargrave Fortress was quite annoying.

“Sterilize.”

Takeover!

“Ow!”

I had to get weird white smoke to get rid of toxic substances that might have been buried, and then I had to take a disinfectant shower as well. The rest of them were enough, but the medical team, including Ramfil, checked Jean's group for infections. Fortunately, there were no fatal epidemic reactions.

As they crossed the barrier, such tests continued, and in the end, both Gin and Leona were able to get in after washing their bodies, providing the most basic cleanliness, and wearing Wargraves' regular clothes. The clothes you left behind were cleaned and promised to be returned. Gene only took items that were at risk of damage, including amulets.

“Juul was a medicinal tree. ”

Leona sticks out her tongue to make sure she's tired of all this hygiene. Only after taking antibiotic injections, as well as various internal medications, the three of them were able to enter Fortress.

“Are they doing this every time they come out and go in? ”

“Almost, even in protective clothing. ”

Leona shakes her head in response. Upon full entry, the team was waiting again after the shortened process, and this time they were all taking off their protective clothing.

“Let's go.”

Then, when she got to the cavity, the central terminal, Leona opened her mouth.

“Wow... ”

Leona had never known such a clean space could exist in the world. Built-in basement cavities had new walls, 65533; R, a lot of people were going back and forth on the ground, and dozens of transparent elevators were going up and down without rest.

But they were clean and neat at all.

Standardized facilities and equipment were orderly, and were therefore too heterogeneous compared to the outside without mess.

Jean and Leonardo were wearing regular clothes at Fortress, so I didn't get a glance. In the beginning, there were over 10,000 residents in Fortress. That's why Gene and Leona didn't see eye to eye because they didn't know each other well.

“We'll get you to your place first. Do outsiders know how to look at a map? ”

“I know. ”

“Then you have nothing to worry about. We have contacted each facility with external visitors. In bedrooms, meals have an attached dining area. ”

“Thank you.”

I didn't have to listen to that explanation because I knew the structure of Gina Fortress, but I didn't pretend to know. Although it's an exclusive group, he's an executive colleague once inside.

That's why the views and attitudes of the leaders were quite favorable. The group moved to their residence and was assigned a non-combatant unit in the middle of the residence and a place to stay for a private family home.

It was a multi-story home with a household, and the interior was naturally clean.

Jean, Ramfil and Leona will be staying in this accommodation during their stay in Fortress.

“You can eat in the dining room, or I'll bring you some botanicals, so you can cook indoors. ”

Fortress' men lived a machine-worked life, but had the attitude to ensure maximum freedom for Gene, Leona and Ramfil. Of course, there was no reason to refuse.

That leaves the other leaders scattered, and only the squad leader.

“Does the magistrate meet Warlord immediately? ”

“I intend to. ”

“I'll walk you through it. ”

“Are you going to wait here? ”

“Sure, there's no reason to meet the Warlord. ”

At that, Ramfil nods. After a day or two, I was going to commandeer the armored car and leave. Leona continues to wander around in mysterious and unfamiliar ways. Window, curtain, tablecloth, and bathroom are all in order.

I had seen it all, but it was too strange. Even Juul who cares so much about hygiene compared to Fortress is just a stable.

Rather, because it is so clean and foreign, Leona is restless, while Gin sits comfortably on the couch.

“You look familiar with anything. ”

“I've lived a long time. ”

Of course, Leona understands that ordinary humans can't live for 200 years.

“Was it all like this in the old days? ”

Leona asked around, but Jean knew exactly what it was asking.

“Almost."

Unlike the ruins left behind and the present, in the past it was so clean and clean. Not all of them, but not all of them. Seeing people walking through windows, Leona couldn't believe how many of these people lived underground.

“I don't think we're farming. What do all these people eat? ”

“Further down, there is a large aquaculture facility.... Anyway, there's a facility where you can build farms without sun and soil. Food is produced there, livestock is produced there. ”

Wargrave Fortress was able to collect astronomical levels of chips and use them to automate or turn significant compartments into low manpower. A few technicians manage giant underground fields, raise livestock to support this massive fortress.

Fortress is fundamentally self-sufficient. In recent cases, such as Busan Fortress, it operated as a low-powered system with only a few researchers left, but most of it was this way.

Leona did not understand the concept of producing everything underground, but Jean thought it was.

The soldiers immediately brought the parasites, and Gin placed a metal box full of parasites in the room.

“What is all this? I don't think it's the Searation... ”

Looking at the can of regenerative steel, Leona tilts her head, and Jean sweeps through the letters written on the can, pulling something out and grinning.

“The idea that the Searation is the best food in the world will change. ”

“What's that? ”

“It's one type of food called noodles, or noodles, among others... ”

Gene spoke in an emotional voice.

“It's ramen.”

Gene takes out the instant noodles in the steel can, almost joyfully, and drops them next to the countertop. Gene didn't like Wargrave much, but he rated it fairly highly in this area.

I make small quantities of things that I don't need to survive. And they usually have sweets that people ate before the apocalypse, or instant food like this.

Of course, Leona had never eaten noodles.

Leona didn't eat well when she had chopsticks of ramen stewed by gin.

Although children are weak in spicy taste, many children do not even know that they are spicy in the first place.

So, Leona burst into tears when she first experienced the spicy flavor.

“I'd rather be a monster fish! What's this pain? ”

Leona didn't know the word "spicy," so she expressed it as "painful," but Gene thought it was funny and embarrassing.

“Ugh... ”

Gene was dumbstruck to think that Leona would react this way.

“Then I'll eat it all. ”

Whoo-hoo!

Of course, I didn't even worry.
