Chapter 194 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]
Because the area of the underground facility was wide, there were quite a lot of entrances. There are about 5 entrances on a site the size of a small village. Probably, unlike the UK and Korea, one would be insufficient because the staff of the general facility and the staff of the secret laboratory are divided.
If you add the presence felt underground and the presence on the ground, it is a number that easily exceeds 10,000 units.
The depth… The depth was deeper than other research institutes. It seems that one of the apartments has dug into the basement.
No, facilities in Korea and England are at least research facilities, so even if they did some construction, this is a bit strange.
Atlas’ secret research facilities were usually large, but not unusually large. You might think it’s big because it’s China, but is it possible to build a building of this scale without any rumors?
There’s something more hidden, but it doesn’t seem to be revealed. My hunch roughly says so.
[The important thing is information. This time, it’s better to pretend to be a snake than to attack openly]
“This is Snake”
[Look for cardboard boxes first]
Even so, unless it’s a game and the guards aren’t crazy, if there’s a cardboard box in the middle of the street, it’s natural to look at the contents.
…..No, since you already know what the contents are, are you deliberately ignoring them? If you meet the person in question, you should pretend to have found it, but if it’s in a cardboard box, you can say, “I didn’t see it” And move on.
It’s a surprisingly believable story.
[There is nothing more useless than arguing over game settings]
“Anyway, I have to sneak in. Is there a map of the laboratory on the ground?”
[Wait a moment. I’ll upload the data right now]
Almost immediately, data came to mind in the eyes of the raccoon mask. A map of the entire research complex comes into view.
As this is the last known laboratory, we must obtain the information we need. First of all, I decided to visit the main computer room to get information on the ground lab.
No matter how much less than the underground secret laboratory, there is a high possibility that the above-ground laboratory will have some information. Since the research institute in Russia was blown up without a trace, the mulberry must be picked in China.
I entered a building by following the map of the laboratory on the ground sent by Zion. Although it is a building with a height of about 2 or 3 floors, the entire building was used as a computer room, and large computer hardware was humming and operating inside.
Fortunately, the doorway was open. The employee who came in first was working hard, bringing a laptop and plugging in a LAN cable and programming something hard.
“It’s nice that I don’t have to steal passes.”
I quickly went in and inserted the hacking tool into the conspicuous USB port. Hardware lined up in a row, right beyond that, there is an employee working, so you have to get out as quietly and quickly as possible.
[Hacking complete. You can get out.]
At Shion’s words, I quickly retrieved the hacking tool and got out of the computer room. There was no one to encounter when the absolute fate of fate gave him a blessing.
I decided to sneak up on the roof of the building and listen to the information Shion had figured out.
[Hmm…… It seems that Force user research is being conducted more honestly than I thought. There is a considerable amount of research data that has been accumulated.]
“What is the level of your research?”
[This is quite an advanced level. I don’t know if it’s because of the large budget or because of the high speed of development because of the human experiment, but it seems that it has reached a significant stage]
“What is your research field?”
[Weaponization of Gaia Force]
“…….”
You were researching a pretty practical part?
Basically, Gaia Force is highly volatile. It has only been about 20 years since this ability appeared on this earth, but the reason for the slow progress in research is the strong volatility of the Gaia Force.
The Gaia force released to the outside of the force user quickly disappears. I breathed my will into it and experimented with it, but it disappeared after a while. It would not be easy to develop energy that is difficult to store into a weapon.
However, it is obvious that development will change the current society. If you can deal with the enemy species with the military rather than the force user, you can at least defeat the enemy species that are appearing now.
Although humanoid enemy species also enter the ranks of transcendentalists, there is a possibility of winning if you use Gaia Force as a weapon to open the dagger.
“Is there any other information? Information about the underground facilities…”
[There is no such thing as a map of underground facilities, but I got some good information through the employee’s personal chat]
“Good information?”
[How to sneak into an underground facility]
“Five?”
If destroying secret laboratories in Korea or England was just an action genre, this time it’s a stealth action. It is said that obtaining information is more important than destroying everything.
The location of the elevator going down to the underground facility has already been identified. However, to get there, the only way to get there is to smash the elevator and enter the passageway, but there is a high chance that you will be caught.
Can’t we take the pass and go down? There will be CCTV in the elevator, so you can get in.
[There is an incineration facility set aside for data incineration in the research center. All discarded research materials are sent to an incineration plant and are disposed of there without any spillage. It’s a fairly large incineration plant, but […
“Doesn’t the waste from the underground facility also get disposed of there?”
Mostly human corpses.
A secret laboratory in Korea or England had a nearby river, so it would have been easy to dispose of the waste generated from the research, although in case it would be flooded and destroyed altogether. If you grind it roughly and sprinkle it on, it becomes fish food.
However, since there is no river around here, it will not be possible to treat it, so you have to bury or burn it, but it is better to build a separate incinerator inside the facility than to take such a risk.
[Other places are monitored by CCTV, but as the incineration plant is a place, there is no separate CCTV there. Moreover, it is connected to the basement, so you can go there]
“Normally, I don’t think about going in, so security is bound to be low.”
Force users are people too. You have to breathe to live, and you may be able to withstand the heat of an incineration plant for a while, but in the end it will only be a matter of time. If you enter the underground facility through such a place, it is dangerous unless you are a master user.
Wouldn’t it be better to set up security facilities assuming that there are only a few master users in the world? Would it be better to just keep it and save money? It looks like the latter to me.
[The incinerator is located at the north end of the facility. If you look at it now, you will see a faint smoke coming up.]
“Oh, I found it. Thanks for letting me know.”
As Shion told me, I headed towards the place where the smoke was rising. It’s attached to the laboratory, so it’s smaller than a full-fledged garbage incineration plant, but you can still see it rising from a large chimney. And the closer you get, the more you can feel the acrid smell.
Toxic, nasty smell of burning paper, food waste, and other plastics or vinyl-like compounds. And… There was a faint smell of burning corpses.
Of course, it’s a smell that normal people can’t smell. I’m familiar with the smell of burning corpses, and I have an excellent sense of smell, so I’m distinguishing among them, but even Force users are few who have felt the smell of burning corpses, and it’s not like they can feel like a Force user.
You’re good at dealing with waste. These guys.
In front of the incinerator, several people who seemed to be employees were gathering and dropping garbage at the entrance of the incinerator.
I waited a little while and waited for them to finish their work.
Maybe it took about 30 minutes. After disposing of all the garbage in the incinerator, they left to go to other jobs. After making sure no one else was nearby, I opened the incinerator’s entrance.
“The smell is really strong. Should I increase the range of the force field…”
The entrance is quite large, perhaps designed to accommodate bulky items. Thanks to that, it doesn’t seem to be a problem even if one person enters.
I went down into the incinerator as it was. Sliding down the slanted ramp, passing the garbage that seemed to be caught in the middle, the flame of the incinerator burning below catches the eye.
Roaring!!
A burning fire. It’s really an analog incinerator. It’s much better to do this. If it were an incinerator with no other purpose, the internal structure would have become complicated while doing separate thermal power generation.
Rather than thinking and designing it, this is the best. Besides, if you design it that way, you won’t be able to use it in a secret underground facility, so this is good.
[Since I’m designing the architecture, I’m reminded of the things I did before reincarnation…]
“Look at the lengthy talk in case someone isn’t your science department. Hagisa, you majored in this field.”
[My house was also designed by me. The construction was outsourced separately, but it was made without the slightest construction error. Garbage is inside the insulation, no worries about that]
“I admit that one”
The bottom of the incinerator was littered with ashes. And within it, the familiar bone fragments are also noticeable. The last traces of people who burned and disappeared are scattered in places like this.
At the bottom of the wall on the opposite side of the passage where the trash falls on the ground, another passage of similar size is visible.
“I think you found it?”
[I can’t hear it well because of the burning sound there]
“Ah, I’ll call you back after I get out.”
I climbed through the passage again.
Maybe this one is right The land of the incinerator also belonged to a fairly low axis, and since the incinerator was built in a long form there, it would go down about 2 or 3 floors underground. Then it must be connected to the basement here.
The more you climb up the aisle, the more you go up, the rotten and rotten smell vibrates. Surrounding the body with a station field won’t get dirty or smell bad, but it still feels bad.
I would understand if the smell of the filth was simply rotting food, but this is the smell of rotting corpses. It was far from the incinerator, so the heat couldn’t reach it, and the rotting flesh made me feel the unpleasant sensation of being mushy.
“These bastards are so…”
You can see the end of the aisle. It is not the light of the ball flower, but the artificial light. Confirming that there was no presence, I opened the door of the incinerator and went outside, no, inside from the other side.
The first thing that catches your eye is the huge grinder. The grinder’s bloody discharge was right in front of it.
It may get clogged in the middle to put the corpse as it is, so I’ll grind it once.
“I can’t eat hamburgers for a while.”
I suppressed my anger and entered the secret underground laboratory.
When you look at the facility with a wider sense, the scale of the dirty and spacious facility enters your senses. Even if the area I grasped from the ground is several times that of the facilities I saw in Korea and England, even if it is deep, it seems to be dozens of stories.
However, unlike that side, the structure was not complicated. I was about to go down, but I went to the far end of the floor and went down the stairs and barely went down one level or something. The elevator was also a building with a relatively decent structure on each floor.
Do you have any plans to dispose of this separately? There’s no robbery nearby, so you can’t flood it?
[Have you arrived?]
“Yeah, I’ve arrived. But the area here is no joke, so I don’t think it’s a joke to walk around while avoiding CCTV.”
[In that case, wouldn’t it be okay to disguise yourself?]
“I don’t know what will happen later because I have a dirty impression.”
[Then take control of the security room first. Then you can delete all the videos later]
“Hmm”
There was truth in Shion’s words. This facility is too large for even the country to walk around avoiding people and avoiding CCTV. I don’t know if I’d rather break it all down.
There’s a possibility that my true identity will be discovered… But it’s still better than just wandering around. All of the people who work here can’t get out alive anyway.
Isn’t that cruel? If I were to question that, I should have said that in Korea in the first place. When I entered through the incinerator earlier, there was a shredder and traces of it?
There is no need to treat them as human beings who have eaten ethics. This is what Phantom, who is in charge of ethics, agrees with, not me in charge of society.
Humans are human because they are different from animals. If humans are like animals, there is no need to distinguish them with the word human.
Are humans and monkeys the same as primates? Not at all. There is a definite difference there.
[I don’t really like killing people either. Even so, a person who cannot be summoned even as a child is cheap even if he dies]
“If you said that, I’ve said it all.”
First of all, I found a resting room after avoiding the blind spot of the CCTV to get around comfortably. In such a large facility, there is no shortage of facilities used by researchers, so I choose clothes there.
It wasn’t difficult to find because it was close by. It wasn’t even locked, so I sneaked in and searched for the locker.
The locker has its own electronic door lock, but it is not a complicated structure. It’s just a jjimjilbang locker level. With this structure, not only Zion but also Nation can be opened.
I sneaked open some lockers and rummaged through my clothes. I took out a white gown that seemed to be worn by a researcher, put it on, and took out a mask to cover my mouth and nose. If you walk around while coughing, you’ll know you’ve caught a cold.
There was no employee ID card that doubles as an entry pass here. Honestly, it’s important to use it for security reasons, so there’s no way I’ll leave it like this. However, I found a spare necklace with a case that I wore with my employee ID.
“If I go around inside out, I’ll be able to pretend to be a cosplayer”
[There’s no way I can just come in here, so I’ll probably be fooled in no time.]
“Instead, even if you don’t know the general public, you shouldn’t meet Force users. They have a good sense of privacy.”
Besides, even if I cover my nose and mouth, my eyes are dirty. Even if you don’t know if you’re passing by for a while, there’s a high chance that you’ll be caught if you talk in earnest.
Oh, I’m not just talking about it, it’s really like a stealth action, so my heart started pounding.
[I’ll update the minimap there as soon as I go around]
No, even the minimap?!
If so, now you have no choice but to break the jar and go around!!!
