chapter 7
7 Tues – Endless Expansion(4)
Bats are not legions.
They just live in groups.
So, they didn’t care what the hell was on the land covered with their excrement.
Although some instances found anomalies, they just ignored it and went out hunting.
[Stupid and stupid. What would you expect from such beasts? But it’s a good thing for us
“I am…”
I let out a sigh of admiration.
The six walls that stretched out completely covered a part of the seventh floor.
Those chunks of meat that split rapidly over the course of ten days were not nests.
For the corps, it was a new nest made after the production nest and brain, a kind of forward base made for battle.
[The Legion asked a question. Should I annihilate them right here and now? And he made his own judgment about it. The answer was no. It’s enough for us to just drive them out.]
“Why? The invested energy is too large?”
[It’s just a matter of time anyway, because they’ll all be our food]
The Legion is at war with the bats.
Bats were more likely to just get kicked out and leave the place than to fight with a high probability.
Where are the bats that have been kicked out?
They have no choice but to go up or down.
[Those who come downstairs will be our food, and hundreds of bats pouring upstairs will crack the balance]
“From that rift and chaos, we will take the fisherman.”
[Yes. When a sudden chaos comes and collapses in the existing ecosystem, we eat it whole]
wicked and deceitful
But it will definitely be an effective tactic.
Whether the bats are eaten or not, the prey will only increase and decrease anyway.
All the prey, the corps was going to eat it whole.
“No, but what are you going to do by covering the wall with a piece of meat like that?”
[Now that we have built a fortress, we need to attack from a distance]
The six walls trembled.
What are you going to do with the advance?
A few bats looked at them with interest, but they didn’t move because their intelligence wasn’t that high.
But at that moment.
“…what?”
“Easy profit!”
“Quick! Queek!”
The bats screamed and spread their wings all at once and struggled like crazy.
In the meantime, bats that looked to be at least several dozen fell to the ground.
What the hell did you do?
[The corps imitated the strategy of the White Cave Ants. They fired acid with their mouths, but we fired a more powerful acid poison in a more advanced form. Poisonous stings from the six walls lodged in the enemies’ bodies. it’s not just a sting It is a stinger made of the same ingredients as hollow bones]
“crazy.”
It was way beyond my imagination.
And this method worked well.
Bats have thin skins.
In addition, the wings wrapped in a film are weaker.
This meant that they were very vulnerable to the stinging stinger.
Even if there are hundreds of them, the effect is maximized.
[The corps’ target has been eaten. The bats felt threatened and chose to run away in confusion rather than face it properly. It’s our victory
The empty 7th floor is now ours.
The nest continued to grow and fell to the ground, killing the rattles of bats and feeding on their bodies, down to the last drop of blood.
However, in the current situation, the upstairs, the 8th floor is probably the more chaotic.
Hundreds of bats must have flocked to it with excitement.
“It’s going to break, it’s going to break.”
[It will look like that. But that’s not it]
I came out of the test and muttered a little, but he immediately refuted it. embarrass people.
“Isn’t that what?”
[The Legion found the most effective tactic, and it worked, but we do not have overwhelming power yet]
“…”
Should I be strict?
But apart from that, I couldn’t help but feel the pressure.
[Account level increased to 2. Now, 20 kinds of samples that can be provided, and the feedable food has increased to 40 kg]
“Are you going to keep working with me after all?”
laughter came out.
However, if that was a problem that I and the player had to deal with, there was nothing I could do.
I had to.
“For now, let’s hold on to the tree.”
[Do you have any plans in mind?]
“…I do not know.”
It was a very difficult problem.
Where can I find easy-to-find, inexpensive, and high-calorie food?
After talking with my classmates for a while, I returned home as it was.
“Do you both have no plans for the afternoon tomorrow?”
After work late at night, my mother called me and my sister.
We both nodded, we already knew.
[If there is a problem with our lineage…]
“It’s not like that, you idiot. It’s just a brief visit.”
Returning to the room, I said a word to the guy who crossed the line.
“Tomorrow, I’m going to see my father.”
What’s the use of telling an unknown hacker like this?
I sighed and sat across the bed.
It’s only been 10 years now.
My father was torn apart and died in front of our eyes.
Even if I think I’m an adult now, it’s hard to think back on the things I did back then.
“Let’s think about something else. What to put as a sample. I don’t think I can take advantage of that opportunity.”
[Good idea]
“Isn’t insects a little insufficient now? Of course, if you look at the monsters in your neighborhood, all the animals here are docile.”
My thoughts extended to reptiles, birds, and mammals.
The question is, how do you save them?
In fact, when I see that rough and terrible alien cave, there are people like me that I really want to put in, but they are the ones I don’t dare to approach.

“I’m sure your father will be happy when we come.”
“…yes.”
“Now let’s go.”
10 years now. have to get used to it
Contrary to his usual personality, the younger brother, who was hardened without saying a word, left first.
When that disaster happened, he was only 7 years old, and it was a bigger shock than me.
[Is the business over? Currently, the corps is occupying the 8th floor]
A message flowed on the phone screen.
I didn’t even try to open the app.
I know how to do it, and I’ll let you know if anything big happens anyway.
I folded my phone and glanced into the rearview mirror.
The ossuary building was seen moving away.
“I have to come here often.”
Mother’s voice is soft
I closed my mouth.
It’s been 10 years already, and even if I get used to it, it always looks the same.
“Hey, I’ll have to go back.”
“I do that.”
The car that was going well even in silence towards the setting sun was blocked by other cars filling the road.
Soldiers and police were crowded in front of me.
The police were blowing whistles and detouring cars.
“Attention everyone! The gate will open in front of this soon!”
“This is the control section! Go back!”
Some policemen were holding loudspeakers and talking nonstop.
Seeing the soldiers gathered, I wondered if the gate was right.
“It’s okay. The soldiers are already preparing. Maybe there are also hunters.”
“Uh… um.”
I took my mother’s hand, which was holding the gear.
It was cold and trembling.
My mother was still extremely afraid of the gate and the monsters pouring out of it.
Who is not afraid of those monsters, but even more.
it’s bound to be They are the monsters of hell that once destroyed our family.
10 years ago, when the response system, people’s responses, etc. were all inexperienced.
From the day my father sacrificed to protect my mother and me when I was young due to the attack of the hellish men, I started to build a systematic system and build up my skills like now.
I just bit my lip.
They were the object of my fear, but they were also my enemies.
Of course, I was just an ordinary person with no power.
Even when I went to the army, I was so lucky that I never had to go out because of the gate.
“Those are the Hunters.”
Then my mother pointed to something in the distance.
In the distance, I could see the silhouettes of several people descending in a flying helicopter.
It was the soldiers and those who had the same power as those who fought against the demons.
“The demons will come out.”
“…let’s go back now.”
Kang Do-yeon, who had been keeping her mouth shut, also urged her mother to help.
In fact, my eyes were still on it.
[Are the prey and specimens you mentioned referring to monsters from another world?]
When I read the message, I was terrified.
Useless fucking garbage.
It was the chimney that I would rather use as food for our children.
“You’re right. I’ve been thinking about using monsters as food and specimens.”
I went back to my room and blew it out.
I don’t know if it’ll be possible to take pictures of these guys, even with their bodies being taken care of.
If it succeeds, I’m not at the level where I have to worry about my life, not my photography.
[It may be difficult right now. But growth, it might be different if you grow more]
“How?”
[Our relationship is not a one-way street. I don’t know when that will be, but if the Legion has an ego, ask. What do we think of you? How can I repay the favor I have received?]
“It’s very reassuring.”
There was a laugh, but it wasn’t a bad feeling.
I wouldn’t like it to say that they recognize and appreciate my efforts.
[To do that, you have to keep fighting and eating. Now it’s on the 8th floor. Then these guys Where the spiders that keep blocking our reconnaissance live]
And at the same time, our new goal was renewed.
