Episode 206 [ People Preparing (2) ]
The sound of metal crashing was heard in the quiet ruins of New York.
Crash. Crash.
It wasn’t a sound coming from just one or two places.
Squeak.
The rats that had recently increased in number took refuge in the ground again.
Clap, clap, clap.
Black robots appeared among the ruins. They were spider robots with eight legs. The robot’s upper body was equipped with a machine gun and grenade launcher.
The robots were very similar to the robots that used to be at Seoul Airport.
Spider robots the size of small cars scanned all around with infrared cameras on their heads.
Buuuuung.
Drones passed over the spider robot.
The all-black drones and spider robots were like villain robots in movies looking for humans.
But what the robots were looking for was not humans.
Robots searching the streets stopped in front of a building. It was a half-destroyed five-story building.
The robots aimed at the entrance to the building.
Wow!
Before the robots fired their weapons, a roar was heard from inside the building.
Monsters came out of the collapsed building.
They were all monsters that ran on four legs. But among them, there were monsters wearing old clothes.
[Confirmation of mutants. [Start shooting]
A monotonous voice was heard from the robot, and then the machine gun opened fire.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
The monsters running through the door were hit by machine guns and fell to the ground.
As the fire continued, the shields shattered and the monsters bled to death.
Wow!
It wasn’t just the door. Mutants kept coming out of the broken windows.
The spider robots’ machine guns changed direction.
Ta ta ta ta!
Machine guns poured out in all directions.
Most of the mutants fell covered in bullets, but there were also mutants who were unharmed.
There were mutants who jumped out holding thick iron plates that looked like iron doors, and there were also mutants who made their bodies like armor.
Although it was a machine gun that gave off powerful firepower, it was not enough to deal with monsters with shields unless it was a mana bullet.
Kwasik.
One spider robot was torn apart by a mutant. The mutant tried to run towards the other robot.
However, a slightly different noise was heard among the machine gun noise.
Tutututu!
Rather, it was a rather light machine gun sound.
However, the mutants who had withstood the barrage of machine guns were shattered with the sound of new gunfire.
Another robot appeared from behind. It was a humanoid robot wearing an old cowboy hat.
It was Shane.
Shane’s body was a little different than before. The rough, scrap metal-like body had been transformed into a sophisticated form.
For two years, Eve and SG Electronics developers continued to replace his body with improved parts.
However, on the outside, the body, covered in dust and full of scratches, looked no different from before.
The only thing that was particularly different was the steel backpack attached to the back.
At first glance, it looked like a battery backpack, but there was no reason for a robot powered by mana stones to carry batteries.
The shooting stopped when all the mutants running out of the building fell.
Clap.
The lid of the backpack on Shane’s back was opened. Shane shoved the machine gun into his backpack.
The enormous machine gun, which was 1.5 meters long, was shoved into the iron backpack.
It was no ordinary backpack. Finally, it was Omar’s new subspace backpack.
Shane took out a spear from his backpack.
“Where is Isabelle?”
-I almost caught them all!
The robot shook the camera at the girl’s voice coming through the walkie-talkie.
“I’m getting more and more unable to handle this…”
Boom! Coo!
At that time, a vibration rang out from beneath the ground where the robots were standing.
Something was coming up.
The spider robots quickly dodged to the side. Shane also left.
Kwaaaaang!
The ground where the robots were was burst open and a huge red centipede came out.
It was a centipede whose body was as thick as a bus.
The spider robots tried to shoot at the monster, but Shane stopped the attack first.
The centipede that popped out was not in good condition.
The monster was not a red-skinned centipede monster. It looked red thanks to his own blood covering his entire body.
Moreover, the centipede had several spears stuck in its body.
These were the spears that Isabel carried.
The entire body of the centipede monster came out of the ground.
Dozens of the monster’s legs were cut off.
Neither the antennae on the head nor the poisonous claws on either side of the face were visible.
The monster lost its direction and twisted its body wildly.
The centipede monster came out, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
The monster looked very painful. However, it did not seem to be due to a spear stuck in the body or a severed leg.
The monster looked as if it was suffering from stomach pain.
“I ended up doing it again.”
Shane scratched the camera as if he was embarrassed.
The monster that was destroying the walls of the building and shaking the ground eventually stopped moving.
thud.
The monster fell to the floor and its mouth opened.
“Shane! “Please take it out!”
And a human voice was heard from inside the mouth.
The robot opened the monster’s mouth.
A person crawled out from inside. It was a girl whose body was covered in mucus.
Shane took out a large water bottle and towel from his backpack.
He poured water on the girl.
Gurgling.
When the water in the bucket was used up, all the slime was finally washed away.
Puha!
The girl shook her wet hair. Her tightly tied hair shook, spraying water in all directions.
“It’s a towel.”
Shane placed a towel on the girl’s head.
“Hmm, Uncle Shane, are you angry?”
A girl wearing a towel smiled awkwardly at the robot.
“Well… I guess you’re the one who’s worried, right? It’s not like Bailey’s following you around. If there’s a problem down there, it’s hard to help.”
Shane shook his head as he looked at Isabelle, who had grown taller and lost much of her youthful appearance. Isabelle
is now at the age where she can be called an adolescent. A period of turbulence and turbulence, commonly known as puberty.
Two worlds . Instead of Kyung-hoon and Eve, who were busy running around, it was Shane who suddenly took charge of Isabelle.
He had no idea what to do with this disobedient girl.
“But it worked out as planned. Thanks to you for picking up this centipede-like monster.” “We sent all the mutants hiding underground out of the ground, and we were even able to catch the centipede monster.”
The problem was that her plan was all improvised. She
also found the centipede monster by chance while looking for mutants, and because she touched it for no reason, she couldn’t catch it properly and it went on a rampage. The centipede monster even attacked a
nearby mutant bunker . They messed it up, and as a result, the mutants came to the surface, but this couldn’t be considered a proper plan. As
Shane looked at him quizzically, Isabelle also rubbed her head with a towel out of embarrassment.
“You can skip everything else, but go inside the monster’s body and extract the mana stone.” “It was dangerous.”
As soon as Shane finished speaking, Isabelle hid the mana stone in her hand.
Using her special ability to jump into the intestines of a giant monster. It was a dangerous act that could end up assimilating into the monster’s body if she did it wrong. Even she knew that
this was a dangerous thing to do. I knew it very well.
But if I only moved safely, I couldn’t catch up with Uncle Gyeong-hoon or fight with him.
Two years had passed, but I was now only at Class B. Compared to Uncle Gyeong-hoon, my growth was much slower.
Of course, compared to other awakened people in the other world. It was an incredibly fast growth, but the only person she could compare herself to was
Kyung-hoon. Shane, who was looking at Isabelle with her head down, patted her on the shoulder. “
But you did a good job. Your improvisation wasn’t bad. It was also great that you could catch this much of a monster by yourself. ”
At Shane’s words, Isabel slightly raised her head. A bright smile was blooming on her face.
Shane was able to realize once again. As expected, the human female in puberty was unknown.
She smiled brightly at Shane. He approached.
“It was okay, right? Kyung-hoon would say you did a good job, right?”
Isabel was much brighter than when she was young.
Thanks to Eve’s continued education and colleagues, she now looked like a girl her age.
But when it came time to fight, she turned into a different person.
For a moment, Isabel Shane, who was looking at him, took a step forward.
“Let’s go back. I think Bailey will wake up soon.”
“yes!”
Not long ago, Bailey fell into a deep sleep. It felt like hibernation.
But Shane and Isabelle could tell that Bailey wasn’t sleeping.
It was preparation for evolution to the next level.
Kyung-hoon moved away from the group for a while, and Shane and Isabelle cleaned up the area around Washington and New York.
It was a decision made for Isabel’s safety, but it seemed like a bad idea.
“Uncle Kyung-hoon will come soon too, right?”
“Well, it’s an ordinary monarch-level hunt. “Unlike you, I prepared properly, so it won’t be difficult.”
Isabel nodded.
“sure. “Because it’s Mr. Kyung-hoon.”
Isabelle was not at all bothered by the sarcastic comments about her.
She looked completely different from an ordinary girl, but neither Isabel nor Shane knew anything different.
The two headed to Manhattan with spider robots and drones.
Manhattan’s ruined basement was being restored after the New York monarch disappeared.
Following Jamsil’s hideout, New York’s underground city was being created as Kyung-hoon’s new base.
***
Just as Shane thought, Kyung-hoon’s hunt ended without difficulty.
It was a hunt that took a month to prepare and lasted for two weeks.
The middle of the Rocky Mountains.
A giant the size of a garden was lying in front of a huge cave that looked like a dragon would live in it.
It was a one-eyed giant with two heads.
Foam was leaking from the fallen giant’s mouths, and dozens of broken spears were stuck in its feet and legs.
He was a monarch who fell into numerous traps for two weeks after eating animal carcasses sprinkled with poison potions.
The fallen giant had several holes in his chest. These were the holes created by Gyeonghun’s greatswords exploding.
-Compared to what I had prepared, it wasn’t that easy.
Eve’s voice reached Kyung-hoon’s ears as he stood in front of the monster.
Kyunghoon checked his clothes and clicked his tongue.
The body armor was tattered.
After returning from the US, the results of two weeks of running around were still visible on my clothes.
“How many have you caught so far?”
-We caught 7 individuals after New York.
“Is there really no answer at the level of a monarch?”
Although I hunted the monarch level diligently for two years, I had no intention of upgrading from SS level.
-But now is not the time to take on more challenges.
Gyeonghoon looked out over the mountains to the east in the distance.
Beyond was Yellowstone.
It was a place where there was a next level monster named Overlord level.
A year ago, I almost died while trying to see what kind of thing it was.
When I think about that time, I still break into a cold sweat.
“know. “That’s not what’s important.”
Gyeonghoon put a fist-sized mana stone into subspace and entered the huge cave at the back.
It was a huge cave that really looked like a dragon would live in it.
It was a cave created by a giant who was all dead outside.
Bones were piled up and many human objects were also visible.
But Kyung-hoon didn’t care.
He headed to the corner of the cave.
It was a place with a large pattern engraved on it.
Although it was a small pattern compared to the entire cave, it was still a pattern tens of meters in size.
The pattern looked similar to that of a portal.
Something like black smoke was swaying above the pattern. And the mana was being sucked out towards the smoke.
“If you include New York, it’s the fourth…”
Kyung-hoon raised his hand to the black fog. And it created a characteristic.
I didn’t even specify where I wanted to go, but the black hole was wide open.
Kyung-hoon could tell where this hole led.
This hole was connected to Australia in the other world.
