Chapter 431 – Moving
“It is heavy equipment with a powerful exoskeleton and armor. It is not a mission that requires such equipment, but there is nothing you can do to hide your identity.”
I quite liked it.
A robot rather than a tight suit.
There wouldn’t be many men who wouldn’t like riding a robot-like weapon like this, which looks like a scaled down version of a magic weapon.
I put myself inside the open front armor.
First, the gloves on the limbs are closed. And the torso… And finally, the face armor was covered.
For a moment, my vision seemed to get dark, but then it got brighter.
I saw Zaid and Lynette looking up at me. I turned my head here and there, but I didn’t feel anything blocking my vision.
I briefly moved my arms and legs.
The operation itself was not difficult.
It felt like it was moving according to my thoughts.
It was similar to the giant painting I often do, but I must say the response was a bit slow.
However, I didn’t feel very frustrated.
This happens to me as well, so I can feel the difference in reactions. The pit bull moved as smoothly as I thought, to the extent that an ordinary horse would not be able to sense this subtle difference.
The fuel seemed like a magic stone, and it felt like it was drawing a bit of the rider’s magic attribute.
“… I adapted faster than I thought.”
Zaid nods in satisfaction when he sees me moving the pit bull.
Maybe I’m just happy that I won’t be held back.
“Then, let’s begin the operation briefing. The place we’re going to is Devodeau. It will take about an hour from here to the operation location. And the target is… Devodeau’s magic power plant.
“Magic power plant? Wasn’t it about rescuing Pantheraine?”
My question was natural.
These are the group that liberates Panthera slaves.
Suddenly attacking a power plant… It was unexpected from my point of view.
“You are not qualified to participate in such an important mission yet. We are supporters. Pantheraine’s rescue will be done by another team.”
Simply put, it seems like they don’t entrust important tasks to beginners.
If we terrorize the power plant, another team will take advantage of that opportunity to help the Pantheraine escape.
“There are two magic attribute power plants in Debodu. Our mission is to paralyze them.”
“Two?”
“Yes.”
Is a power plant that easy to commit terrorism?
I just do what I’m told, so I’m just doing it.
After Zaid finishes the operation briefing, he hands Linette and I a thin piece of metal that looks like a 100-won coin.
“… What is this?”
“Put it on your temple. It is a device that erases all memories related to Rebellion. I hope not, but if you fail the mission or are captured, it will be activated. You can return it after the mission is over.”
Selecting and erasing only the memories you want… Is that even possible?
It would be amazing if that were possible.
Or… Just saying… A murder extermination device…
Lynette, as if she had experienced it before, casually opened the cover of his helmet and attached the round metal piece to her temple.
Even though it was her suspicious item, I didn’t think it would cause much harm to me, so I followed her lead and attached her metal item.
I could not feel any action directed toward me from the metal attached to my temple. I guess I will only know when the memory deletion function is activated.
The open cargo door of the transport ship was closed.
“Then let’s go. Bark, you can look over the Pitbull’s manual during the trip. It won’t be that difficult, so you’ll have plenty of time.”
Study the pitbull manual…
‘Cosmos please.’
Now that Suni is gone, the only thing I can ask for is Cosmos.
〈Why me?〉
“I am always grateful to you for always being by my side. Cosmos, you know that right now, the only person I can trust is you.”
〈Hmm… Then there is nothing we can do.〉
Unlike Suni, it was a little annoying to have to praise her, but it was worth it.
Like the van we rode in, the transport ship did not show us any outside scenery.
This time, I decided to stretch my consciousness and look outside.
The ceiling of the building opened.
I could see the dawn sky slowly clearing the darkness.
The transport ship carrying us floats up. However, no noise or vibration occurred.
The fuselage of the transport ship slowly assimilates with the surroundings and becomes transparent.
Since you are doing such a dirty job, isn’t the concealment function essential?
The shuttle, which was soaring high into the sky, began to fly in a certain direction.
At some point, the skyscape that touched the hull of the transport ship appeared slightly distorted, and at the same time, we entered a dark passage.
I thought it might be the city sky… That is, a flight passage opening in the ceiling.
I also tend to blink sometimes.
The fact that this place is underground.
The demons built a city by creating huge dome-shaped cavities of various sizes. Those cities were built all over this planet.
I also heard from Sunni that there is a spiderweb-like passageway between cities that allows transportation such as cars and airplanes to move.
Did the transport ship that picked us up travel for about an hour?
“Arrived.”
As if Zaid had received the report from the pilot, she got up from her seat.
Lynette, who was next to him, was startled and stood up to follow him. It was a soft landing that didn’t feel like it had moved that much.
The rear cargo compartment of the transport ship opened, and a green forest landscape was visible.
It won’t be on the ground.
I’ve spent quite a long time in the demon world, but I’ve never seen anything like this on earth.
This must be one of the underground cities.
It was a clear forest sparkling with morning sunlight.
A forest made up of real trees with life.
I’ve seen many street trees in the city, but this is my first time seeing such a dense forest.
Well, if you look at the city street trees, it might be possible to create a forest.
Every time I realize that this is underground, I, who come from a civilization with less technology than the demons, am amazed at how they built such a civilization underground.
When we all get off, the transport ship disappears.
I didn’t leave.
It seems like a concealment similar to that used during flight has been opened.
“Wouldn’t things become easier if we did something like transparency?”
“It’s not a mission that requires that much preparation. We don’t have great defenses. The security robots we’re dealing with don’t have that much combat power.”
When you hear the term terrorist attack on a power plant, it sounds like a very grand mission, but looking at Zaid’s attitude, it didn’t seem like it was such a difficult mission.
“Map data of the vicinity was sent. The power plant is about 10 minutes away from here. It is moving.”
Zaid takes the lead and starts moving.
Linette and I also followed him.
As Zaid said, after traveling for about 10 minutes, we found a small power plant visible under the cliff.
It was a power plant in the shape of three small domes.
Will it be the size of an elementary school?
The power plant was smaller than I thought.
“For now, wait… The operation… Starts in 23 minutes.”
Unlike Lynette and me, Zaid seems to be given separate instructions.
-Tweet. Tweet.
I spent time listening to the birdsong that was often heard.
As if the time had come, Zaid opened his mouth again.
“Bark charges in first, drawing the attention of the security robots. Then Lynette and I take advantage of the confusion to infiltrate the power plant.”
It can be said to be a diversionary operation.
“Bark, your mission is simple. You just have to deal with the security robots until I tell you to retreat. There’s no need to worry. The security robots’ weapons will never hit your heavy armor.”
“I’m just saying that you can just have fun destroying the security robot.”
“Yes. And Lynette.”
“Yep!”
“Your role is important. Considering the return time to the shuttle, you need to finish everything and come here within 20 minutes. Can you do it?”
“Yes! No problem!”
Lynette, who was in full military spirit, answered.
“If you exceed the time limit, the Predator will intervene. You must escape before the Predator intervenes. If you do not join us by then, we will leave you alone and return. Remember.”
“I will never fail.”
The Predator seemed like a pretty scary thing to them.
“Bark, begin the operation.”
After receiving Zaid’s instructions, I jumped off the cliff without hesitation.
-Thud…
The 3-meter metal robot appears to not feel any stress even though it jumped off a cliff over 20 meters high.
-Thump thump thump.
I drove the pit bull and ran towards the power plant.
The power plant was surrounded by a smooth fence.
The pit bull hit the fence with its shoulder.
-Kwaang!!
With a loud bang, the pit bull broke the wall and entered the power plant site. There was no damage to the pit bull’s shoulder.
-Beep! Beep!
A loud alarm sounds.
Inside the power plant, flying drones and bipedal robots began to appear.
Zaid said the power plant’s security robot couldn’t do anything about this pit bull. I don’t completely believe what he said, but he didn’t seem like a person who would lie.
If you lied, you can forgive me later.
I decided to take on the security robots with just the pure strength of a pit bull.
This robot called Pitbull seems to be quite expensive equipment. However, since it was not my property, I felt comfortable even if it was handled somewhat roughly.
