The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 242
Episode 243: Attraction (2)
“Wow…!”
“Byungmin!”
“Don’t disturb the ranks and stay calm! “Byung-min leaves behind and Min-cheol takes his place!”
After the name of Dokgi was changed.
From there, the monsters that appeared began to become incredibly strong.
-Kuung…
I somehow won the battle, but…
“I’m sorry. Sergeant Shin. “The protective clothing was torn.”
“…no. “What do you have to be sorry about?”
This underground strategy only works if you can block the poison through protective clothing.
Soldiers who were injured enough to tear their protective clothing had to leave immediately.
‘Thanks to my cooking, I was able to come back even if my protective clothing was torn.’
A poison resistance dish I made.
The reason I didn’t eat it on a regular basis was for this time.
Even if the resistance of the protective clothing is pierced or the protective clothing is torn and miasma invades.
If you eat my cooking.
At least I was able to secure the resistance until my return.
Private Lee Byung-min, moving up the aisle at incredible speed.
After seeing him off.
Me and the soldiers.
I looked at the corpse of that powerful monster.
“…The equipment is different?”
“That’s right.”
The slave monsters I met on the outskirts.
Although those guys were strong enough too.
Even an ordinary squad from our unit was barely capable of dealing with it.
Now that only elite soldiers were gathered, it should have been assumed that there would be no enemies at all.
but.
The monsters I faced here were different.
[Slave restraints for mine excavation]
The problem is that the monsters themselves are getting stronger.
The real problem was that restraint area.
‘At first, I thought it was nothing more than a mechanical device that controlled the slaves as they pleased…’
But when I think about it.
In the first place, they are guys with such incredible technical skills.
There is no reason why
that technological power cannot be used in battle.
Burbubbububububbung!!!
“Shit.”
“Another strange attack…!”
An enormous amount of brilliance emanating from the restraint sphere.
Everything that the light touches turns to dust and scatters.
The monsters encountered inside were not simply controlled.
Something like that.
The machine embedded in the spine was attacking with unknown technology.
That wasn’t the only part that gave me goosebumps.
‘It’s not even for combat!?’
If what I saw is true.
The restraints that demonstrate tremendous combat ability are not for combat…
[Slave restraints for mine excavation]
[This is a slave restraint with special equipment that can destroy everything except the magic stone to proceed with the excavation.]
[It is an object designed to operate indefinitely without depletion of power under a special environment, and in order to achieve this, an environment filled with the pain and magical power of the slave who wears it is needed].
“Does that make sense!?”
It was just equipment for digging down this mine.
‘Slaves for simple labor on the outskirts… slaves for excavation in the depths.’
It makes sense that this mine was being excavated in a different way from that of humanity.
They were using such ridiculous equipment.
It would have been entirely possible to create a hole measuring tens of kilometers across the entire mountain.
“Whoa… whoo.”
“I guess it’s fortunate that these guys didn’t show up in the beginning.”
When attacking the outskirts, low-level soldiers and awakened members of the production team were also present.
If only these guys had come out from the beginning.
There may have been quite a few victims among the weak soldiers at the time.
‘It really gives me goosebumps.’
For now, they say it is for mining excavation purposes.
If there were people wearing real combat restraints, how strong would they be?
Fortunately, they said that this mine is located in the capital of their race.
It is also said that the Dwarven succeeded in completely controlling their world.
There didn’t seem to be any need to deploy a large amount of combat weapons here.
If that had been the case, we wouldn’t have been able to break through easily.
but.
I thought it was possible that a strong enemy would appear.
A certain amount of hardship was expected from the time the gate was opened in the first place.
Nevertheless.
This is why this gate offends me.
It was separate.
-Gooooo… Gooooo….
Pabababababang!
[Wise Entyror]
[Freshness – Lowest]
It was a monster that looked like a huge tree.
The guy swinging his fist like a tree root at us.
The speed was not that fast, but the power contained within it was enormous.
It is certain that even a mere graze will result in fatal wounds.
In addition to such tremendous punches, menacing rays of light still emanate from the tentacle-like restraints.
But despite such a brutal attack.
There was not the slightest hint of life in that monster’s eyes.
Rather than living….
hesitating….
in those eyes.
Tears of blood and pain were flowing.
A guy who only has reason left but has already lost all bodily functions necessary for survival.
Of course, that mechanical device can forcibly control a dead monster.
To make it easier to control, only the sense organs were saved.
A dying body would be in great pain in itself.
A body that moves under the control of a machine.
In addition, they have to continue to suffer from a poison that is much more severe than in the outskirts.
-!@%!@^^^!
That monster.
It was swinging an attack towards us and saying something.
-master.
‘huh?’
however.
The vampire in the shadows heard that voice.
Ariella said.
-That guy just now. Dwarven spoke.
‘what?’
She absorbed the blood of the Dwarven and learned their language.
If so, it wouldn’t be a lie.
That guy is probably a slave race.
A guy like that spoke the words of a Dwarven.
‘Even though they are slaves of a different race… there are people who have learned the language enough to mine underground mines.’
Among the slaves, there would have been a need for a slave to manage other slaves.
It was not strange in itself to have slaves who taught language.
I was just a little curious about what was said in this situation.
Actually…
it was obvious.
‘What did you say?’
-They’re asking me to kill them.
‘….’
To incredibly strong monsters.
An enemy that even has machines made with Dwarven technology attached to it.
If it was original.
Even if we are made up of elite soldiers, it is natural for us to fall into crisis.
-This machine is not for combat, but there are gaps, so please take advantage of those gaps.
The reason why I couldn’t do that.
This was it.
Huh!
‘!?’
A powerful attack aimed at me.
It was obvious that I would not be able to dodge properly and would suffer great damage.
-Go… Gooooooook…!
The speed slowed down a bit.
As if something was holding it.
It was easy to guess the reason.
‘I resisted…!’
These monsters…
were not our enemies.
Rather, you could say that they are allies.
‘Not only does it tell us about their weaknesses, but it also provides help at important times.’
Even though the enemy came to kill them.
They weren’t afraid of us.
Instead of being afraid….
‘In fact, they even seem to welcome it.’
A life of endless slavery.
Those who can put an end to it.
I thought that someone who could bring them proper death had come.
These guys helped us with all their might.
Even though the deeper you go, the enemy monsters become stronger.
It was thanks to this that the battle was established to some extent.
The higher the original level of the monster, the better.
As a result, the time to resist that [restraint ball] has also increased.
That makes our battle more advantageous.
It’s definitely not a bad situation.
“I feel… very dirty.”
One of the reasons I decided to attack this gate.
This was it.
This underground mine…
was so hideous, cruel, and dirty.
To think that there are monsters suffering like that in the basement of our fortress.
Even if you try to sleep, it seems like you can’t sleep.
Suddenly –
finally.
A monster that not only reveals its weaknesses but even deliberately stops its attacks.
Let’s cut off that monster’s head.
-!@$$*!*!….
-He says thank you.
Only then did the monster appear.
I was able to collapse with a relaxed expression.
“…this guy.”
“It looks like he wanted to die.”
What does the monster’s words mean?
Ordinary soldiers had no way of knowing.
I felt like I could roughly figure out what was happening from that expression and atmosphere.
“It just keeps going.”
I left those soldiers behind.
He said as he moved deeper.
“Sergeant Shin….”
“Did you tell me? “We… will kill every single monster in here.”
“….”
“It’s no different from what you’ve been doing so far.”
“…yes!”
“surely. “It is just as Sergeant Shin said.”
however.
Apart from the fact that I wanted to go deeper.
Let’s go down a few more meters.
There was a reaction among the soldiers.
“…sigh.”
“Sergeant Shin. “I think that’s it for now.”
“…I see.”
In areas where protective clothing cannot withstand the miasma.
It has already arrived.
We head back the way we came down.
I moved my body towards the ground.
* * *
“Are you here!”
“okay.”
Let us succeed in returning to earth.
Blue-collar soldiers welcomed us.
“Then the technical books obtained during this expedition….”
“They are old.”
“Oh oh…!”
As soon as I get the technical books from the underground, I entrust them to Ariella and the vampires to translate them.
The production workers are happy as usual when they turn over the translated notebook.
“ah. But… you came a little early this time. “If I made a mistake, I almost wouldn’t be able to hand over the Mark 9.”
“huh? okay?”
“yes. The original schedule was to complete it in time for the raid team’s return. Because everyone was so enthusiastic, it was completed faster than expected. “I think you came back a little faster than expected this time?”
A blue-collar soldier asks with a puzzled expression.
“It would have taken a much longer time than now to get to the point we expected… I guess the monsters we met along the way were a bit weak?”
“no. “It’s the opposite.”
“yes?”
“The monsters have actually become stronger. “The reason I was able to return so quickly was different.”
I explained to the production staff what I had discovered underground.
There is a section in the middle where the nature of the poison completely changes.
From that point on, the speed at which the poison grows stronger becomes much faster.
“As a result, we had no choice but to return much faster than we had originally expected.”
“…okay.”
Blue-collar soldiers who listened to me.
Their expressions turned a little more serious.
“…Sergeant Shin.”
“huh?”
“Saying things like this… hurts our pride and is also disrespectful to Sergeant Shin.”
The expressions on the faces of the soldiers who continued speaking.
It contained a bit of regret.
“If that is true. “With our current protection, we won’t be able to reach our goal.”
“what? They keep bringing me technical documents. “If you use that technology…”
“Actually, we were just starting to talk about it among ourselves.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Slowly… it seems like we’ve reached our breaking point.”
Representative of the engineers.
Corporal Lee Gong-woo stepped forward and spoke.
“The technical book that Sergeant Shin brought me was definitely of great help. “The development of our technological capabilities is beyond imagination.”
“okay. So we thought it would be okay if we just kept bringing technical documents….”
“We thought that too at first. However, at some point, the technical books they provided often contained overlapping content.”
The guy seems embarrassed about himself.
He continued talking while scratching the back of his head.
“No matter how great the information is… the changes that occur when you first get it are the most dramatic.”
“That’s right.”
“We achieved dramatic growth through the technical documentation we first received… but from the information we received afterward, we had to sort out what was useful and what was not. Of course, I was able to learn a lot of skills in other fields through that alone. “To put it bluntly, if we were to make war weapons now, we would be able to make something that is at least as superior to what we had before.”
“It’s not the poisonous side.”
What those dwarvens were researching was magic engineering.
It was not medicine or self-study.
Those who succeeded in conquering the entire world in the first place.
There would have been no need to conduct research on resistance to poison.
The only thing that has happened is the Earth has been at war with each other firing off biochemical weapons.
“The ability to develop weapons and armor has increased tremendously. The research on poison resistance was carried out by ourselves, referring to ideas seen in other studies. “We were able to come this far because the ideas were great, but it seems like we have reached a limit.”
With that said.
Corporal Lee Gong-woo is a prototype Mark 9.
No.
“…Whew.”
[No. 1 completed version of corps system protection]
“This is the finished product.”
“yes. “It’s the best we can make at this point.”
The first finished product.
