all run
The structure of the base was so complex and messy that it was unbelievable that it was built by a civilization with the technology to erect buildings 9,000 meters below sea level.
Every time I passed through the gate, the height and width of the aisle, the shape, the color and amount of lighting, etc. all changed, so after walking a little bit, I got motion sickness and my head became dizzy.
‘Did it be made by a nasty person who likes to bully people? What’s the situation?’
-It’s a bit messy because the structures that were produced by various companies that formed a consortium were forcibly attached together.
‘Anyway, there is a degree. It wouldn’t be strange at all if a monster jumps out of the pipe and attacks you.’
Smack!
The sound of something wet hitting something that can never be heard naturally.
The moment everyone’s eyes were focused on the ceiling, Yoosung instantly kicked off a nearby wall, jumped up, and cut the pipe with an axe.
“Ki-yi-yi!”
A scream of pain erupted, and at the same time, only the upper body of the Deep One fell between the cut pipes, spilling blue blood and internal organs.
Meteor said it was not a big deal to the people who were sweating after realizing that the monster was moving right above their heads.
“Looks like you can get into the pipe too. Be careful, they’re nothing strange about popping out from anywhere.”
“·······.”
“Are you afraid?”
People’s faces turned red at Yoosung’s subtly sarcastic question.
No matter how scientifically advanced the future world is, miners’ lives are dangerous and difficult.
Of course, their personalities were bound to be rough and boisterous, and even those who did not actually have such a personality acted as if they were strong, at least on the outside, in order not to be looked down upon by others.
As such miners, of course, there was no way they could remain still after being subjected to such blatant provocations.
“It can’t be! How can you be afraid of a guy who mixes a frog and a fish?”
“Well, then! I was just taken aback by how quickly he died.”
“Hmmmm, at least what these guys are saying.”
The person closest to him started tapping the corpse of Deep One with his foot, and the people around him also began tapping the corpse or spitting here and there as if it were some kind of ritual.
‘The people who work here are all people who have undergone enhancement procedures. Looking at the specs, it’s enough to face one or two Deep Ones head-on. The problem is not the body, but the mental part.’
Even if you can fight and win, if you are consumed by the fear of confronting the unknown, you may be defeated in vain.
That’s why Yooseong thought it was necessary to instill in people the perception that Deep One is not a big deal, but that he can defeat it enough through this process, even though it may waste some time.
“Damn it! What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”
Looking at the miner who tapped his shoulder with a confident expression on his face, Yooseong smiled brightly and said.
“Why are you waiting for me when you don’t have to wait? Why don’t you go first?”
“Hmmmm.”
“I’m kidding. Let’s go.”
Yoosung walked forward, patting the red-hot miner on the shoulder.
It is dangerous to leave the vanguard to others.
What people were showing now was not real courage, but a bluff that I wasn’t afraid, that in reality, with the slightest chance, I could collapse in an instant.
Of course, in order not to create that opportunity, he had no choice but to take on the most dangerous front line, not someone else.
Beep!
The moment the gate opened and the passage on the other side was revealed, the sound of someone swallowing dry saliva resounded.
A group of people staring in this direction, tightly clinging to the floor, walls, and ceiling. And as soon as the situation was over, an order came from the captains of both sides.
“Kyaaa!”
“launch!”
The group of Deep One screamed and rushed recklessly, and at the same time as the meteor withdrew, the people behind them started firing at random toward the other side of the aisle, aiming their weapons.
Speaking of weapons, they weren’t that great.
As the base was built for the purpose of collecting resources, there were items with strong destructive power, but if the walls were broken, it would be a strengthening procedure, and it would be deadly from water pressure, so there was no choice but to bring items with less than a certain power.
“Kek!”
“Grumble!”
Of course, even those weapons were enough to inflict blows.
Sparks fired from a slightly modified flamethrower fill the passage, and dozens of nails fired from a nail gun pierce the flesh and scatter blue blood.
An attack so strong that if it were a group of ordinary humans, it would collapse in an instant.
However, the opponents were followers of foreign gods, not humans.
Doo doo doo!
Yoosung shouted as fear spread at the sight of the Deep Ones gradually closing the distance without being intimidated by the baptism of flames and nails.
“Stop firing! All ready for battle!”
Holding the ax tightly, Yuseong took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.
‘There’s a gap.’
The biggest problem with dealing with them was their density.
Chejutsu has no meaning against those who rush into a mass and fill the space itself.
But in the current situation, the story is different.
Yooseong, who showed a flashlight and dug into the group of Deep Ones in an instant, raised the ax above his head.
Dark Moon 16th. chopping firewood.
A herbivore that, in a sense, resembles a telegram that is taken down at once with the strength of the whole body.
Spreading wood chopping, he split the man in front from the top of his head to the groin, and drove the momentum up to strike it diagonally, cutting off the arm of the man next to him.
‘I don’t finish it.’
The moment you take the time to finish it with certainty, you are swept away.
As long as he inflicted moderate injuries, the people behind him would finish off properly, so now was the time to ride on the momentum and move forward endlessly.
Kwajik!
Meteor, who activated Sura Sensei, began to rotate his body like a windmill, correcting the angle in real time so as not to touch the enemies’ bodies in the slowed down time.
If he had done this with a normal cold weapon, he would have lost momentum and stopped without being able to cut down a single one, but the weapon Meteor is holding now is not a normal cold weapon.
In front of the cutting force of the plasma aggregate, the repulsive force of the bones and flesh was as if there was no force, and of course, the rotation of the meteor did not stop, and the bodies of numerous Deep Ones could be cut into pieces.
“Keew!”
Maybe half of them had been defeated, perhaps realizing that they couldn’t keep going like this, but they tried to step back to regroup, but Yooseong couldn’t just watch it.
‘Thorns.’
Thorny vines protruding from nearby corpses shoot out like snakes, trapping their legs. Only three of them lost their balance and collapsed, but this gap was enough to knock them down, just as it doesn’t take a lot of strength to topple a domino.
Kwajik!
The spinning of death unfolded once again.
The rotation stopped and all that was left were Deep Ones dying or screaming for death, people making absurd expressions, and meteors covered in blue blood all over their bodies.
‘…was it a bit excessive?’
-···I think it’s too much.
This is not a martial arts or fantasy world.
No matter how good a weapon is and how much people have undergone strengthening procedures, what will people think of an existence that grabs an ax and attacks dozens of strange creatures head-on and shoots them invincible…
“Whoaaa!”
“Hahahaha! You monster! If I get out of here alive, I’ll buy you a big drink! Oh my God, how did I not know about this monster?”
“Are you going to just watch that bastard do all his work by himself? Let’s take care of those who are still alive!”
“Huh? What are these thorny vines?”
“Never mind. It might grow thorny vines from its body.”
“is it?”
‘…It’s stupid to worry even for a moment.’
I was a little lost in the look of people who accepted the situation so calmly, but anyway, this fight raised morale significantly.
After completing the confirmation kill and maintenance, the group started moving in a slightly brighter atmosphere, and soon after, the group they encountered also succeeded in defeating them without difficulty.
“Damn it! They were just weird looking, nothing special!”
“Can you get there in 15 minutes?”
“Ah, I was scared for nothing.”
A perfectly relaxed atmosphere.
Even Yoosung, who was holding on to the tension from exchanging silly jokes and occasionally hearing laughter, felt somewhat relaxed.
‘At this rate, you think you’ll be able to go back and pick up the people in the warehouse in time? Since there are about 20 people left, it’s an opportunity to earn 2 million points. Should I go back now?’
everything is easy
It was so easy that I suddenly felt uneasy.
‘Something is strange. It’s mind-bogglingly easy for a grade C- and an incident related to the infamous Cthulhu Mythos. If you look at it objectively, it’s easier than Aris.’
Although he benefited greatly from his skills and equipment, if he thought calmly, it was a difficulty that could be overcome with just Jerome’s body.
After somehow defeating the first Deep One, all you have to do is join the people in the warehouse, arm yourself, and move to Area C-5, where the submarine is located.
Of course, in that case, it would be impossible to defeat them in an instant with breakthrough tactics like now, and casualties would occur every time we fought, which would lower our morale and slow us down. .
Something is wrong.
And those predictions came true.
Beep!
“Stop!”
Meteor, who was about to open the gate to the next area, had no choice but to stop moving at Casey’s scream close to screaming.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Inundation has begun in the area beyond.”
The faces of the people who checked the machine Casey held out were distorted.
It was confirmed that the area that had just been opened was blinking in red, indicating flooding.
“Then I have to go back. Is there an alternative route?”
“You can go back to Precinct K-15. It’ll be about three minutes late, but…”
Beep!
Another echoing sound and a newly added red flashing zone.
And before I could even ask what it meant, countless beeps started ringing out.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
“…the areas around us are being flooded one after another.”
A terrible silence where you could even hear the sound of a needle dropping.
But they didn’t even have time to despair.
Empty! Empty! Empty!
The sound of metal colliding with metal coming from somewhere.
Realizing that the sound was coming from outside the base they were in, Yooseong said with a white face.
“…everyone run.”
this is not a game
