Hong Kong International Airport.

Perhaps I’m slowly getting used to this unfamiliar situation, but as soon as I leave the airport, I take a quick look around.

I was trying to find an employee who would pick me up, but for some reason I couldn’t even see the nose.

“That’s strange. “The branch said they would send someone on time…”

Lee Ah-young muttered as she checked her watch.

At the same time, I made a noise of disgust.

“I haven’t been on many business trips, but somehow I never show up on time.”

“Well, it might be a little late. “Try making a phone call.”

I called the contact number saved at Lee Ah-young’s request.

However, I just keep hearing unanswered ringtones and for some reason I don’t answer the phone.

I walked again several times after that, but the result was the same.

“This is so…”

In the end, I gave up on the call and put my phone in my pocket.

“I don’t come to the airport and I can’t contact you… It’s because people who say it’s urgent have no manners.”

“Isn’t there an emergency dispatch?”

“How urgent is it that you break the promised time?”

I responded in an annoyed voice.

It’s not that it’s not, it’s that it’s not manners.

Even if you can give in and be late, shouldn’t you at least get a call?

If we don’t come out or get a call, they’re telling us what to do.

“Well, we can just take a taxi, but if we just leave, we might get lost, so let’s wait a little longer. Would you like to go to a nearby cafe?”

“Haa….”

I felt really bad before I even started, but what can I do?

We soon moved to a cafe inside the airport.

Just like at the airport, I waited quietly for 10 to 20 minutes in a crowded place with a lot of people.

And even though an hour has passed.

Still no contact.

“I’m starting to get angry.”

“That’s strange. “There’s no way I’m making you wait this long.”

“Didn’t you just forget about this? “I haven’t seen these people that way, but they handle things very poorly.”

I just can’t get over this.

It was a time when I thought I would have to say something firmly when we met.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

Suddenly, sirens started sounding at the airport.

“Emergency news will be delivered to passengers at the airport.”

Immediately, an emergency broadcast rang out inside the airport.

“Currently, the Hong Kong branch has declared the operation of a red-level dungeon that appeared two hours ago to have failed.”

“…What?”

At the completely unexpected news, Director Lee Ah-young and I jumped up from our seats at the same time.

But the shocking news didn’t end there.

“In addition, the subjugation situation in the yellow grade dungeon that appeared at the same time is also not good, and monster escape movements have been reported, so passengers are advised to evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible.” “What does that mean…?

”

“Red level and yellow level appeared at the same time?”

“This is new news. It is said that additional yellow grade dungeons have appeared in the eastern part of the country.”

“…!”

As if the simultaneous appearance of the red and yellow grades was not enough, an additional yellow grade appeared within two hours?

What on earth is going on?

“Also, the National Assembly has issued a level 2 emergency order as of now. I repeat once again. There is a risk of monsters escaping, so we ask all passengers to evacuate quickly to the nearest subway station or shelter…”

Before the words could be finished, tens of thousands of people at the airport, including the cafe, began to move at the same time.

Faces in panic.

People began to flock to the exits, and the airport quickly became chaotic.

“What on earth is this…”

I racked my brain to understand the situation.

At that moment, the cell phone rang.

Finally, I received a call from the Hong Kong branch.

“I’m sorry. The situation was so urgent that I couldn’t contact you. Where are you now? “Are you okay?”

“We’re still at the airport. Rather than that, what is this situation now? “Three dungeons that were supposed to appear once a year appear in just two hours.”

“We are currently assessing the situation. First of all, we will send a rescue team right away… so… don’t move from there… go to a shelter… take refuge…”

“Hello, hello!”

Jijijik-.

The call seemed to have become unstable and the call was disconnected.

Thanks to this, I could immediately see that the current situation was more serious than I thought.

“How about we go out and take a look at the situation?”

Director Lee Ah-young asked quietly.

I refrained from answering and gathered my thoughts.

If the monster has truly escaped, early response is very important.

However, considering that the operation is said to have failed, it is clear that it will take a long time to prepare for urban warfare in the branch’s current situation.

In that case, as Director Lee A-young said, it would be better for us to at least take care of things first.

…It was a moment when my thoughts went crazy up to that point.

thud-!!

An enormous shock was felt throughout the airport, as if something huge had crashed into the building.

At the same time.

Damn it!

The ceiling cracked and debris began to fall.

Below, there were hundreds and thousands of citizens who could not evacuate.

“Mr. Joo Jun-woo!!”

“…Damn it!”

[Acquired Skill: Protection Blossom]

Immediately, a protective shield unfolded in the shape of a flower.

Kugugugugung-!!

The airport completely collapsed.

***

“What the fuck is this…!”

Branch Manager Hwang Ga-hwi could not understand this situation with common sense.

That’s because Hong Kong is not a place where many dungeons appear in the first place.

At most, the average is around 100 per month.

The average appearance grade is only blue.

Moreover, the last time a red-level dungeon appeared was eight years ago.

But not only did the red grade appear without the supernatural being able to detect it, but the yellow grade also appeared at the same time?

Director Hwang almost wondered if he was dreaming.

But the reality was harsher.

“Director, they say the Hong Kong International Airport has been attacked and collapsed!”

Before I could even accept the situation, another disaster struck.

“The airport collapsed…?”

“yes! The rescue team was dispatched right away, but the entrance and everything else completely collapsed, making it impossible to identify any survivors. It is estimated that there are more than a thousand people who have not yet been evacuated…”

“Damn it…!”

Why on earth is this happening?

Red level subjugation failed.

An additional yellow grade dungeon appeared before the situation was resolved.

Monster escape imminent.

In addition, even the airport was attacked.

This has clearly gone beyond what the branch can resolve.

‘Should we ask the mainland for help? Or to the International Association….’

No, that’s really the last resort.

If you hurry up and hand over the branch to Karma Corporation, they may take care of it.

Yes, aren’t they the ones who commanded large-scale operations in the US branch?

This is a situation that can be easily resolved…

“Wait a minute.”

At that moment, Branch Manager Hwang opened his eyes wide as if something occurred to him.

“CEO Kim… What happened to CEO Kim? Didn’t he say he was at the airport too? “You rescued me?!”

“That’s right, they were dispatched, but they were a little late…”

“…”

Soon, Branch Manager Hwang’s face became thoughtful.

CEO Kim is still at the airport?

Inside that building that had fallen like a piece of paper….

At that moment, Branch Manager Hwang’s legs lost strength and he slumped down on the spot.

“X is done.”

It was really X.

***

“Ugh….”

I struggled to get up in the dark space.

Even though I deployed my defense shield, my whole body felt tingly as if it had not been able to absorb all the shock.

‘If it had been just a little bit later, I would have become a rat…’

I muttered and looked around, but the building had completely collapsed and there was only darkness where I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.

“Mr. Jun-woo, Mr. Jun-woo!”

Director Lee Ah-young looked for me using the flashlight of his cell phone.

“Mr. Joo Jun-woo! are you okay?!”

“yes. What… are the others safe?”

“I don’t think anyone was hurt.”

Director Lee Ah-young illuminated the surroundings with a flash.

At the same time, hundreds of survivors trapped here were revealed.

All of them had faces that were in a state of ecstasy and their whole bodies were shaking.

A situation where everyone is in panic.

It was only natural in the face of a disaster that came out of nowhere.

“What on earth is going on?…”

Director Lee Ah-young muttered as he watched the scene.

Then he looked at me and asked.

“Did a monster attack?”

“I guess that’s true given the circumstances. But…”

I frowned and trailed off.

Yes, if the entire airport collapses in an instant, it is certain that it was attacked by a monster.

But regardless, even if the monster escapes quickly, it is too fast.

No matter how red it is, it makes no sense for a monster to escape just 2 hours after appearing in the dungeon.

The only reason monsters escape the dungeon is because as time passes, the dungeon’s supernatural faction becomes increasingly unstable.

Lee Neung-pa, the force that maintains the dungeon in this world.

Dungeon grade and stability are proportional to the strength of this supernatural faction.

However, the longer the dungeon is maintained, the more unstable the faction becomes, and at the same time, the dungeon slowly begins to collapse.

When it becomes difficult to maintain the dungeon any longer, the monsters finally escape.

So, for a monster to escape the dungeon in just two hours, this means that the supernatural faction must be extremely unstable from the moment it appears.

The problem is that if the supernatural faction is that unstable in the first place, the appearance of the dungeon itself is impossible.

In other words, this current situation makes no sense at all.

High-risk level dungeons that appear continuously.

A supernatural faction that has been extremely unstable since its appearance.

The monsters escaped the dungeon just 2 hours after they appeared…

While I was thinking about them.

‘Fuck, no way…’

I felt something jump out of my head.

Could it be…

is this the work of an international association…?

If the International Association randomly created dungeons using dimension stones, everything would be explained.

Just like it did to us before.

But why…?

Even if the attack on us was for a hostile takeover, the Hong Kong branch had no reason to go to such an extent.

There is still a week left until the registration grace period, so there is no reason to attack the Hong Kong branch…

“…I guess I got caught.”

After thinking about it, I clicked my tongue and opened my mouth.

“What do you mean you got caught?”

“We are trying to take over the Hong Kong branch. “It appears that this has reached the Chinese association’s ears.”

“…!”

Director Lee Ah-young’s face darkened.

“I guess he asked the International Association for help.”

“Are you saying that the dungeon was randomly created using dimension stones?”

“There’s nothing else I can think about. “They are probably trying to delay the contract by making as much of a mess as possible.”

“That means…”

“Yes.”

I answered quietly.

“We are trying to retake the Hong Kong branch while we are trapped here.”

“….”

Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes became quite serious.

A planned disaster, not just a disaster.

His face seemed angry at that fact.

“…Let’s break it down and get out.”

Finally she said.

“You can’t sit still. “You can just destroy this much debris…”

“No.”

“yes?! Why?!”

“Isn’t the space too small?”

As I looked around and spoke, Director Lee Ah-young sighed softly.

Yes, it’s just that you’re buried under rubble. If you use skills, you can easily escape.

But in the current situation, it is impossible.

Hundreds of people are gathered in a narrow space. If they use their skills in a place like this, they could be in danger.

Above all, since we do not know where and how many survivors remain, we cannot hastily remove the wreckage.

“Then what should we do? If things continue like this and the Hong Kong branch is taken over…”

“What can we do?”

I also spoke with mixed feelings.

“I can only hope that the rescue team comes before then.”
