## Chapter 304 – 30. Emergency (9)
+++
Somewhere deep in the Korean peninsula’s forests.
In a place where nothing seems to exist, there’s a subtly distorted area.
It’s so faint that you wouldn’t notice unless you looked closely, but whenever swaying plants or fluttering leaves pass through, clearly distorted visual information is transmitted.
And it’s on a considerably wide scale.
Dozens of military vehicles appeared in such a remote location.
Screech.
Soon, the vehicles stopped.
Right in front of the area where information was distorted.
“Definitely, you can see it if you look closely.”
“…This is the limit for now. We should be satisfied that it’s invisible to satellites.”
While they were talking in hushed voices, despite it being nighttime and them wearing sunglasses, the space in front of them rippled.
A massive gate suddenly appeared in what was clearly a dense forest with barely a path.
Goo-woong.
No sound was heard, but it felt like that sound was there.
What could be called a steel fortress stretched out to the left and right, and in the center was a massive gate.
What was unique was that the walls extending to the left and right, and the seemingly endlessly high gate, were faintly cut off in the middle.
That’s because what was in front of them was a giant dome-shaped base that had been made invisible.
Beep beep.
Clang.
With a deafening roar, the gate opened.
Beyond the gate was a military base of considerable size.
Intense beams of light from lanterns shone from the inside out, scanning the military vehicles, and soldiers wearing helmets and bulletproof vests moved in groups.
Beep, beep!
The stopped vehicles entered inside, guided by the soldiers.
.
.
“Hmm, this is quite a difficult operation.”
“…I’m sorry. But there was no other way.”
Han Chae-young slightly lowered her head at the branch manager’s words, who was glaring with a dissatisfied look.
The branch manager looked at her disapprovingly, clicked his tongue, and put down the tablet.
“Is this even possible?”
“We can’t delay it any further. I can’t tell you for security reasons, but please understand that we had no choice but to rush the plan. It needs to be ready in at least two months.”
“…”
The branch manager glared, but Han Chae-young looked back without giving in.
She understood the branch manager’s feelings.
The operation is already tight, and now they’re being told to whip things up and speed up the results?
Easier said than done. If that were possible, the National Intelligence Service would have already brought down the Goryeo Group.
But she also had something to say.
Due to a sudden hacking, a huge amount of information about the Abyss had been leaked, and the amount of information that was definitely leaked was estimated to be over 4,000 items.
If you include the ones where we don’t know if they were leaked yet, the number would be much higher, so in this situation, taking our time is out of the question.
We have to speed things up and proceed with the plan as soon as possible.
“Hoo… Well, I’ll try to do it somehow…”
“Thank you.”
“…How much did you bring?”
“Five S-type Great Demons.”
“You brought so many cars, and only five?”
He had been told that there were dozens of vehicles, but the supply for dozens of vehicles was only five Great Demons?
“It’s still a test model, so the cost of maintenance is considerable.”
“…That means the rest are all devices to maintain those five.”
“Something like that.”
The branch manager nodded, pressing his temples as if he had a headache.
“Okay. I’ll try my best.”
“Thank you.”
The branch manager nodded and waved his hand as if to tell her to leave.
Han Chae-young lightly bowed her head and left the branch manager’s office.
“How did it go?”
The adjutant who had been waiting outside asked.
“How else would it go? A company employee does what the company tells them to do.”
“…Is it possible?”
“We have to do it, even if it’s not. Or we’ll die. Do you want to die, Assistant Manager?”
“Huh? Don’t even dream of saying that. I want to live a long life.”
“Me too. We all have to live a long, long time.”
Han Chae-young went up to the ground base, which would be the busiest.
The troops and researchers she had brought, and the structures containing the S-type Great Demons, were just being deployed.
“…If that works out well. The tide could turn.”
“!”
“If we can just fit the last puzzle piece… if only that happens…”
The S-type Great Demon was modeled after the strongest Great Demon, the headquarters chief.
It had a very fatal flaw, but if that could be resolved, it could be a glimmer of hope in this barren world where the whole world is being dyed by Goryeo, or so she believed.
“To do that, we need to capture a Knight… or even a Demon.”
“If that happens, it would be really goo-“
Kwaang – !!
“?!”
That’s when it happened.
An explosion occurred in the ceiling with a tremendous roar.
The dome screen that had been creating the sky lost its light all at once, plunging the base into darkness, and a loud alarm sounded throughout the base.
The only light was from the buildings on the ground and the lanterns shone by the soldiers.
Perhaps because of that, the soldiers’ panicked voices and the clattering of guns echoed even louder in the strangely quiet atmosphere.
“C, Commander…!”
“Could BioTech already be here?!”
Speak of the devil,
As soon as Han Chae-young’s words were finished, insect-like things began to pour in through the hole in the ceiling.
Pitter-patter!!
The movements were so large and grotesque that they could be recognized immediately even in the dark.
“M, Monsters!!”
“Ugh! G, Giant cockroaches…!”
“Eek!”
Giant cockroach-like things, easily over 2 meters in size, attacked the base in swarms.
The surprised soldiers immediately responded by pouring bullets, but they ricocheted off the thick armor.
Taang – !
Tu-du-du-du – !
Fortunately, large-caliber machine guns and anti-materiel sniper rifles worked.
They inflicted damage by penetrating the thick armor. However, even if they intercepted one or two of them, the number was so large that it was not enough to respond.
“Kkeuaaaaaack!!!”
The giant cockroaches that were not intercepted attacked the humans on the ground, shoved their genitals into their mouths, and laid eggs indiscriminately.
The victims’ stomachs swelled up in an instant, rendering them unable to fight, and soon the eggs inside hatched, tearing open their stomachs and spreading hundreds of wriggling things like giant maggots.
“U, Uwaaaack…!”
A sight that shattered the mind just by looking at it.
Han Chae-young bit her lip hard and slapped the assistant manager, who was out of his mind, hard on the cheek.
“Get a grip!!”
“H, Huk…! C, C, Commander…!!”
– Kieeeeck!
“Kkht…!”
Giant maggots hatched here and there, each one a disgusting thing the size of an arm, slowly approaching Han Chae-young.
Her whole body was covered in goosebumps and her limbs trembled as if she was in a horror movie, but she quickly drew her gun.
Taang – !
Fortunately, the larvae were not that hard.
They exploded with a thud from a single shot and died on the spot.
Han Chae-young fired wildly until her magazine was empty and dodged.
‘Photon refraction or sound shielding are meaningless against monsters. We could end up with friendly fire…!’
“C, Commander…!”
“I said get a grip!”
She slapped the still dazed assistant manager again and dealt with the bugs swarming from all directions.
Pulling the trigger with one hand, she used her empty hand to find a magazine and replace it as soon as the bullets ran out.
With her unerring skill, she blew up the maggot-like things.
“We need to activate the S-type.”
“U, Ugh… S, S-type?”
“Yes. S-type!”
“B, But… how…”
Tu-kwaa – !!
At that moment, a tremendous roar sounded and the surrounding air was sucked in to one side.
A railgun was fired.
All the cockroaches in the line exploded, temporarily clearing the area.
But the hole in the dome grew that much larger, and more monsters immediately began to enter.
“I, It’s blocked on all sides, so we can’t go…!”
“We have to break through!”
Han Chae-young charged.
She ran, stepping on and bursting the disgusting and horrible larvae.
“U, Uaaaaaaa!!!!”
The incompetent assistant manager followed behind, flustered.
+++
– Tu-kwaa – !!
– Uaaaaack!!
– S, Save me!
– Shoot special bullets!!
– Call the Great Demons! Soldiers can’t handle them!!
– We have to break the eggs first! Dealing with the larvae is the priority!
– You crazy bastard!! The bugs are running wild right now, what are you talking about larvae!!
Pandemonium.
If there was a hell on earth, it would be that place on the screen, but Min Ji-ah smoked her cigarette with a nonchalant look.
“How long are you going to play on the ground?”
“…I’m sorry, Chairman. We are currently looking for the entrance.”
“Find it quickly.”
“Yes.”
“Ah, Great Demons.”
The base was being devastated.
The monsters that had been creating a hellish scene so terrible that it was hard to watch suddenly began to explode.
The Great Demons in the base had begun to be deployed.
They were extremely angry at the sight of the bloody and fleshy battlefield and wildly swung their swords and such.
Each time, the bugs that didn’t even get hit by bullets were sliced like tofu and spewed green blood.
“It’s so strange. Knights, Demons, and Great Demons. It’s amazing that those primitive weapons are the most efficient.”
Min Ji-ah found it strange.
It’s already 2077.
In this era where missiles can be planted within a 5-meter margin of error on the opposite side of the earth, which is at least 20,000 kilometers away, it’s really laughable that those sword tricks still work.
“Chairman, we found the entrance.”
“Pour them in.”
“Yes.”
Following her orders, about 10 times more monsters than before began to be deployed.
Not only the dome-shaped base itself, which had already lost its invisibility, but also the surrounding land was covered with black monsters.
– Zzzzz.
“…?”
At that moment, Min Ji-ah’s phone rang.
– Aunt
– Long time no see
– Send me some pussy pics.
– Wet ones
“…”
It was Go Mu-yeol’s message, ruining the mood.
“…I’ll be away for a bit. Keep watching.”
“Yes. Please go ahead, Chairman.”
