Episode 163 [ LA CITY(1) ]
Jamsil theme park and shopping mall that was previously used as a hunter training center.
Now, thanks to Eve’s renovation, it has been transformed into a battle fortress.
In the past, robots were fighting instead of humans in a place that was used as a sparring ground for training centers.
Shane was engaged in a battle with two industrial robot golems that were over 3 meters tall.
Shane was moving nimbly among the golems swinging their heavy fists.
Boom.
Shane, who dodged the golem’s arm, threw a punch.
thud.
The golem fell backwards after receiving a heavy shock to its chest.
Another golem took advantage of the gap and rushed forward, but Shane gently pushed the shoulder of the running golem.
Tuk.
Iron clashed with iron, but Shane felt as if he was being pushed by soft cotton.
Shane gently circled the golem.
He spun around and punched the golem’s side as it moved forward.
bang.
The golem’s side was crushed and it fell forward.
Kudangtang.
After blowing away the two golems, Shane released his power.
Several numbers passed through Shane’s eyes.
My physical condition wasn’t bad.
Eve’s repairs were excellent, and the equipment brought from the other world made his body much stronger than before.
However, other positive numbers passed and a red warning sign remained on the screen.
It was a warning about an electronic brain that could not be repaired.
Shane calmly erased the warning sign.
After a while, Kyung-hoon came into the sparring room.
Unlike Shane, who had his body repaired here, he had traveled diligently to the other world. Fortunately, people were saved and the complicated situation has now calmed down to some extent.
“Time has passed. Space movement is possible. “Can we leave?”
“This side is okay too.”
[It’s not okay. I broke it again. There are several broken golems in Busan. It can only be repaired and not produced yet.]
Eve got angry when she saw the fallen golem. They said they were using it for testing, but they destroyed it like this.
Shane said, scratching at the camera.
“Let’s leave quickly.”
Hearing Eve’s low sigh, the robot and the awakened person jumped into the silver hole.
*
Old LA downtown.
A silver hole appeared in the ruins where only rubble remained.
And Kyung-hoon and Shane jumped out of the hole.
Crumbling.
The monsters wandering the ruins looked towards the two people.
The robot checked its machine gun and Kyung-hoon took out his sniper rifle.
“You can barely see any shadows or cover. “I don’t think the Stealth Cloak will have much effect.”
Just as Kyung-hoon said, the monsters were slowly approaching the two.
“So are we going to break through?”
“Yes, I think we should do that. wait a minute. First, let’s send out scouts and move.”
Kyung-hoon opened his backpack and took out the drones from inside.
These drones were finally equipped with mana stones through continued modification. Although it was not equipped with an offensive weapon, its operating time was now almost infinite.
-Now it can withstand the Earth Dragon’s attacks…
Now it can block the Earth Dragon’s electromagnetic attacks, but the monster ends up becoming Shane’s bait.
Weeeeeee.
Four drones flew in all directions.
Tu-tu-tu-tung.
And Shane fired bullets at the approaching monsters.
The monsters became a hive and rolled around on the floor.
“Oh, it’s pretty quiet. “I didn’t expect much because it was a machine gun silencer, but it was useful.”
Shane’s machine gun had a thick silencer on the muzzle.
It wasn’t at an inaudible level, but it was still loud enough for the average person to not hear from more than 20m away.
“Well, I don’t think it will be of much help.”
The noise was reduced, but the number of monsters running did not decrease.
The appearance of Shane and Kyung-hoon seemed to have caught the attention of almost every monster in this wasteland.
-Currently, more than 100 objects are running this way. The number of monsters that react to the movements of other entities continues to increase. If you’re stuck in one spot, there’s a good chance that it will be a tedious battle.
Shane responded to Eve’s words after checking the surroundings with a drone.
“Then we should run.”
“Yes.”
The robot and the human kicked the ground at the same time.
Whoop.
Dust rose up. At the same time, they broke through the dust and ran forward.
Kuaaaa.
The monsters that had approached cautiously began to run after them.
Like scorpions with shells. From huge monsters to dozens of monsters that looked like ants. Various insects seemed to have grown huge and were running towards them. The monsters were very fast, but the humans and robots were faster. The sight of more than a hundred monsters following behind the two as they ran, kicking up a lot of dust
. It was truly spectacular.
Buuuuung.
While running for a while, the sound of flapping wings was heard from behind.
-Some of the monsters are flying.
Gyeonghoon turned his head at Eve’s words. Just as she said, the monsters were spreading their transparent wings wide. It was flying into the sky.
“Are you a ladybug this time?”
The way the flying monsters shed their shells resembled insects flying.
Kyung-hoon turned and raised his sniper rifle. He ran backwards and fired the gun.
Taang! Taang! Taang!
The monsters flying into the sky They were shot one after another and crashed to the ground. After
shaking off the flying monsters,
Kyung-hoon ran forward again. Buuuuung.
I heard the sound of wings flapping again, but this time I did not turn.
Before I knew it, I had entered an area where buildings were rising up.
Dozens of buildings were in front of me. The buildings were soaring high.
It used to be the center of LA, but now it has turned into a fortress-like place with a wall made of several buildings.
A wall surrounded by buildings and various materials surrounded the building area.
“Where is the entrance?”
-There are entrances, but they are all tightly blocked. I think it would be better to climb over the wall.
“How about inside the fortress?”
-I couldn’t check inside the building, but there was no sign of anyone outside. Hearing
Eve’s words, Shane opened his mouth.
“Then let’s go up and think about it.”
Kyung-hoon also nodded.
The windows of the building that were used as walls were tightly blocked, so there was no way to get in.
But that couldn’t stop the two people.
Kyung-hoon held on to the protruding part of the protective wall and climbed straight up, while Shane climbed to the top of the protective wall. He fired his fist.
Swoouuk. Bang.
His fingers dug into the wall, and Shane wrapped the rope connected to his fist and pulled himself up.
“That’s a foul.”
-You can do the same thing if you get a prosthetic arm again.
At Eve’s words, Kyung-hoon grumbled a little
. -It’s a joke.
Eve shamelessly replied that it was a joke.
The two stood on a wall built up to five stories high.
They knocked down small buildings. The protective wall, which was reinforced with various waste materials such as rebar and cement plates, looked quite strong compared to when seen from a distance. The monsters that followed stopped under the protective wall. The monsters that were flying also did not go beyond the protective wall. Kyung-hoon and Shane came up just below
. The monsters went back without looking up to the top of the security wall. They looked at the top of the security wall for a moment and then slowly turned around. -Why are they going back? There
seem to be a lot of monsters that can climb up.
At least, there is a reason why the flying monsters can’t climb over. “ Well,
is it time to go home?”
“Or maybe this is someone else’s territory…” Hearing
Shane’s words, Kyunghoon looked around the inside of the fortress.
Inside this fortress, the appearance of the old LA city area was preserved.
The road remained, and even sidewalks and bus stops were visible. Unfortunately, there were no street trees in sight.
Traces remained on the protective wall. Several Vulcan cannons were left rusting on top of the protective wall.
“This must be LA City.”
“I guess so. “It seems like they stayed here for a while even after the city was destroyed.”
I didn’t know why there were no buildings left in other parts of the city, but as Shane said, it seemed like people had fortified downtown and held on for a long time.
Weeeeeeeee.
Drones flew between buildings.
-There are no signs of popularity or monsters outside the building. Can I check inside the building?
“Check it.”
Drones entered different buildings. Infrared cameras began scanning the interior of the building.
[Biological reaction! There are several.]
Dismissal!
[Drone Unit 1 has been destroyed.]
Kwasik! Kwasik! Kwasik!
[Unit 2, Unit 3, Unit 4. All were destroyed.]
It took only an instant for the drones to be destroyed.
“Could it be that they hid inside the building and waited?”
Kyunghoon looked around at Shane’s words.
A long passage less than 2 meters wide connected the buildings.
It seemed dangerous to create spatial coordinates here. There was a risk of attack and the security wall could have collapsed.
“At least we have to make it inside the building…”
Clap.
At Kyung-hoon’s words, Shane reloaded his gun.
“Then I guess I’ll have to clean up a building.”
Kyunghoon chuckled at Shane’s words. He was right.
“Then where shall we go?”
“What you see over there is an observatory, right? “I think it would be a good idea to go to that circular building.”
Among the many tall buildings, I saw a building that looked like bits of corn.
-Us bank tower. At 310 meters tall, it is one of the tallest buildings in LA.
Eve didn’t seem to object either.
The two quickly jumped off the firewall. Stepping on the protruding wall, the robot and the awakened person easily landed on the floor.
The interior was very large, perhaps because the entire city was turned into a fortress.
An abandoned vehicle was standing on the side of a wide road, and trash covered in dust was rolling around on the road.
“Are you not planning on suddenly attacking me?”
“well. “The mana flow is low and life is not strong.”
Kyunghoon sneakily approached a nearby building.
Crrrrrrr.
Mana stirred inside the building along with a low sound.
Kyunghoon stepped back.
“I think they’re telling you not to come in. “Are they monsters that have made the building their nest?”
Shane shrugged his shoulders at Kyunghoon’s words.
“But you can’t just go back…”
-You must obtain information on the mana stone mounted on the spear.
Since it was made here, the only place to find out was this city.
“Then eventually we will have to build a nest.”
Kyung-hoon arrived in front of the building and looked up.
A huge circular building was overlooking the two.
Kyung-hoon hung the sniper rifle on his shoulder and took out his sword. Shane also had an additional greatsword strapped to his shoulder.
The mana bomb was not taken out. It was a building that had been abandoned for a long time. If you make a mistake and the building collapses, it would be a disaster.
The inside of the dark building was quiet and desolate.
“Let’s go in.”
Kyunghoon entered the building and Shane followed him.
Karrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
As soon as I entered the building, the atmosphere changed completely.
A swarm of life rose up, and red eyes emerged from the darkness.
Black, red, and spotted wild animals began to walk out of the room from behind the pillars and from the second floor railing.
“Are they cats this time?”
Kyung-hoon was reminded of the cat boss he first saw at the factory.
They were bigger monsters than the cat boss I saw back then, but they didn’t look that different.
Kyaaaang.
The monsters rushed towards Shane and Kyung-hoon, and Kyung-hoon and Shane swung their swords and fired machine guns.
Ta ta ta ta.
The loud sound spread outside the building.
*
The puppy opened his eyes brightly.
Ta ta ta ta.
A loud noise was heard outside the window.
bruise.
The puppy quickly ran in front of the window.
The sound was coming from underneath the building.
Are they bad people? Could it be the owner?
I didn’t know which one it would be, but I couldn’t keep doing this.
Woof woof woof.
The puppy ran out of the living room.
The living room where the dog left was empty. There was no housekeeping and the bookshelf was empty.
There was just an old photo lying on the table.
A photo of a young couple, a child who has just started walking, and a golden retriever puppy.
In the photo, the family and dog were all smiling brightly.
