Haroon

The members of the Smashed Forge who were contacted through Bell were concerned for several days.

"We've got problems, but let's go!"

Baran, the head of household, has finally made a decision. The families had no objection to his decision. I wanted to leave anytime. However, there were many problems with the migration, so I was looking at that time.

"What about there?"

"Wouldn't it be better than here?"

"Of course."

Haran and Serran were brighter than worried.

"Contact the storm base and inform them of our decision and prepare to evacuate. I'll talk to my friends."

Baran plans to take all his friends on his way to the storm base this time.

'We can't live in a place like this where we don't know when we're going to get off the barrier, not right now.'

I no longer have confidence in the Union government. If Harun's words are true, there must be some action already, but Union is silent.

'Eventually, the Borderers will throw them away.'

The bottom people of a society have no choice but to have any society. The Union government doesn't seem to know that it can't maintain a proper society without embracing them. Anyone can become a Border, and if we do this, who will follow the Union? I don't know when the barrier will shrink even if I try to avoid it this time but I can't live here.

I thought you might need artisans like yourself if you're in a storm station, so you'd better move out while you're treating them. The rest of the seaweed and serran in the shop were worried. In the meantime, I was distracted by the lack of shop work, so I didn't really know what was going on in the world to focus on the game.

"But do you really want to reduce Union?"

"I'm sure. Harun is not the one to say anything."

"Well, I can trust him. It's a story from a long time ago."

"We have to rely solely on domestic waters since the trade with the outsiders stopped anyway, but we can't keep up shop properly without domestic waters, so we're on the move."

"Moving your belongings is the most important problem, by the way."

"Harun will take care of that."

That's what I said, but it's not really an ordinary problem. Everything that began with the mining furnace had enormous weight. I was worried, not about the problem to solve by personnel, but I thought that Harun would do something about it. They believed that Harun had done things that were close to impossible for them, but not difficult.

"You can play games, right?"

"Of course. I heard from Hyeryun that if you become a member of a fan base, you have to determine your affiliation. If you want to make money through the game, you can go to the Merchant Guild. Or do something else and enjoy your leisure time."

Harlan and Serran begin preparing to move to the storm base, worrying and anticipating. Jinsu heard the news through Bell. Jin told her friends about the barrier reduction. Although they were both orphans like themselves, the three friends decided to take immediate action on their families in District F. There were many rooms in the house where he lived, and if there were not enough, he could live there because he bought the house where Harun used to live. My friends who had been classified as incapable and could not take care of their family properly were shrugging their shoulders for a while. Jinsu should have taken it before, but the three friends were deeply moved by Jinsu and Harun, reflecting that they had not fallen into the game.

"Thank you, Jinsu! I will repay Commander Harun and your kindness with my life at all times."

"Thanks to you two, I can be a son and a brother for the first time." I feel the same way. "

"There's no need to be nervous at the door of your family in District F. And with my salary from the mercenaries, my family became comfortable. This is all because of you and the captain. I've been abandoned by the Union as incompetent, but if I have to, I'll go to the burning sulfur of hell."

The three friends, as well as the other two friends, graciously embarrassed Jinsu. Jin told me that Harun was the one who could live with his friends like this. And this misconception led to Harun's immense salary of his friends' share of the money he gave him.

"Jinsu, what should we do?"

I couldn't answer my friends' questions easily. The five friends were following him around like chicks and looking at him. He shows an attitude to follow the decisions he makes.

"Should we just head into the storm base now?"

The words brighten their faces.

"Then we're good. We are the Hidden crews of the gale mercenaries. If you enter the base, how much will you still not approve?"

"Yes. Even if we don't admit it, our hearts will be at peace."

"Now we can make quite a bit of money, and we won't be sorry at the base."

Friends' reaction was to enter the storm base, regardless of the barrier reduction. He wanted to. It was Harun who allowed him to live with this ease of play. I wanted to help Harun like that. That's why I'm worried.

'No! Uriah, it will be easy to enter the base, but there must be a Node inside the Union other than the base.'

Of course, others, other than themselves, were helping Harun, but Jin wanted to help his brother who had left and opened up a new life for himself. (Goldron: Warm)

'There are many people at the base who will help Harun besides me.'

When I thought about it, my worries disappeared.

"No, a man here!"

"Why?"

"There should be a Node inside the Union. That's what we can do to help the storm base now."

The friends nod at the decision-making but make a face that they don't understand.

"I understand that, but is there anything we can do to help in reality?"

"I don't know about that."

Jinsu may be anxious, but she has decided not to move to the base for the time being.

"Maybe the Savvy Guild, or Under City, will help?"

The mover's words give me a stronger look in his eyes.

'Undercity, led by people who rebel against the Union system, may be helpful to civilians or Harun.'

Xavi Gild, who had accidentally helped the Green Elves in the Skyloop Mountains on his way back, was leading Cowan Union's Underground City. Those directed towards a free and democratic Union have been pushed out of the barrier or threatened with assassination by Union forces since the dawn of Human Rights. Most of them fought the dictatorship of a group of scientists and economists, but one by one they were forced to flee. It was underground in Union, the planning city, where they gathered to avoid an assassination. Originally, a large aqueduct was built 30 meters underground in Union. The people gathered here have gathered together to build a giant city like an ant house underground. According to Savvy's guild master Ryu, underneath Big Union there is an undertow city everywhere and its own social system. They now have the knowledge and skills at Union to exert a strong influence on Union's underground economy through the black market.

Most of them actively participated in political activities and built their own societies, unlike those of passively living terrestrial communities as well as highly educated ones. Of course, they are not self-sustaining, so they are closely connected to the ground, but their abilities are exceptional. They were a minority, but were recently accepted by the Big Union to reduce the barrier to a large number. Barrier reductions have been the trigger for rapid growth of their power to survive for over 100 years. Jinsu and her friends were able to save those who were almost killed, surrounded by Orcs in a famine situation. I still don't understand it, but the guild members of Savvy's guild treated themselves as lifesavers, saying they saved their lives despite being a game. They were astonished by the fact that Jin is a member of the Hurricane Mercenaries Hidden and that they live in Kowon Union.

- In reality, we know that there are storm troopers and that there are Nodes outside the barrier. Maybe we have a lot to deal with. If you need anything at any time, not just a deal, please find it. Under the Kowon Union lies our undertow city.

After escaping the Skyloop Mountains, I was able to convince myself that the words were not empty.

"Excellent! Let's discuss it with the commander first. Maybe it'll help the commander, too."

Jin decided to try to communicate with Bell first.

Midnight.

Today, it was a bad night for the barrier to be opaque enough to swallow up the moonlight. Most of the residents in District F fell asleep early for work the next morning, while a handful of vagrants and joyful lifestyles wandered the streets of joy in search of alcohol and sex. Circle Street is a huge circular street that separates commercial and residential facilities from non-house (honeycomb) areas close to the barrier. But there were a lot of defense forces gathered on that street.

"What?"

"I don't know. I heard there will be an Org attack....."

The Defence Forces converged at the designated location, but were buzzing with anxiety about what it was. This is clearly not an ordinary operation. At this rate, all the rangers would have been assembled.

"Shouldn't Org's raid keep you near the barrier?"

"I know. What are you thinking up there, circles?"

Defence forces have looked at areas commonly referred to as the Border Area. The F district, which has been declared incapacitated by the Union government, or has been displaced from social life, is also precisely divided into three regions. Adjacent to Zone E is a region of moderately wealthy and affluent employment, with the lowest level residents living near the barrier living in a studio apartment called a B house. Intermediate Circle Street also overlaps with commercial and residential facilities. As the Defence Forces wait, the commanders disperse after the meeting. And on the inside of Machu Union, a lot of construction machinery was converging on Circle Street.

At the center of Circle Street, which was 20 meters wide, there was a divider about three meters wide, which had already been dug deep. I heard it was for the construction of the electrical grid, but somehow it didn't feel like the atmosphere. The defense forces have begun to quake. I was surprised at how things were going so differently from the original operation.

"Commander, what's going on?"

A soldier couldn't help but ask the platoon commander who gathered them.

"Formal operations have been undertaken. Barrier Reduction!"

"Yes?"

The soldiers are furious.

"The administrative staff has been thinking about the lack of energy due to aging in power generation facilities for a long time. So that's what comes out of the barrier. Then it was natural consideration for the disposal of the missing persons, criminals and system resistors who had no need of Union."

"Hiccup!"

Some of the nervous soldiers came out with hiccups.

"Through many discussions, the administrative and Senate decided to expel Border Regions and Borders from Union. This is the boundary. Our job is no longer to let those who are no longer residents of Union damage the newly constructed steel wall, but to prevent it from crossing over."

"...."

The soldiers can't say anything with a pale face. Then someone asked me a question.

"Are you... going to kill me?"

"If you approach the steel wall, so be it. They are the pathogens of our Union. Those who enter have already been selected and all the remaining ones do not need them. Spare me your useless pity."

A few soldiers with low military experience tremble. Until just now, I thought I was a resident of the same Union, but for a moment this street had completely changed with boundaries. They could not easily acknowledge the disconnection. Rumors of the barrier shrinking have spread secretly from time to time, but no one thought it would be carried out in such a full-scale fashion.

"Once again, the Humans on the other side are no longer the Inners. Alcoholics, drugs, and sex addicts have been eating our Union for years. As they drift away, the rest of them will be able to live a richer and more stable life than they do now. Therefore, useless pity is forbidden."

The platoon commander told the crew exactly what he had just heard at the meeting.

"Well, still…"

"Slurp!"

Someone hesitates and tries to say something, but the platoon commander blinks and shuts up in a hurry.

"From this point on, those who interact or transact with others will be driven out without hesitation. Remember, it applies to you as well as to your family."

"… yes!"

Though no more complaints were coming out of the mouth, the commander's gaze at the Beahaus area was greatly shaken.

"Damn! About a million people fall asleep on the outside. '

15% of the Union population disappears at once. They will fall prey to their ascents, or, if they are lucky, they will have a hard life as outdoorsmen. It was hard for him to accept the fact that many of those humans were pushed out of the barrier at once without any choice.

"Phew! I can't help it. '

This is not just happening in Kowon Union. Many big unions have already said that they will reduce or reduce barriers like this. In anticipation of this, the Union government's statement that the good residents had moved further inward should only be true.

"A steel barrier will be erected at precisely 0: 30 in the middle of the street at the base location. Our mission is to prevent attacks by outsiders and infiltration of the Union, just in case. From now on, I authorize the launch of the particle gun!"

The massive construction machines were already gripping steel plates three metres wide and seven metres high, waiting for orders to be issued. I started to see people on the other side of the street. Residents who woke up to the sound of the massive construction machinery, or residents who had just come home, were observing the disturbance in the middle of the night with curious eyes.

"Snipers, shoot the outsiders on the streets as soon as orders are given. As the commotion grows, it will only be for us."

When the time was right, the commander pulled out the Beamsord without a word and rushed it up.

Pibbing! Peeing!

Snipers fire a particle bomb at the villagers watching this way. The distance was only 10 meters, so the inhabitants who were hit by the particle bombs flew into the fractured body without screaming properly. As the witnesses vanished in an instant, the giant Remicon cars that were on standby began pouring reinforced concrete solution into the deep hole already dug through the large hose. Next was the construction machinery. Machines with giant tongs become a pair, lifting a huge steel plate and inserting it into the reinforced concrete solution.

"From now on, solid concrete is the most important day. It is an order from the superior that objects approaching the barrier should be exterminated unconditionally. Climb the elevator, everyone."

The eye of the platoon commander had a lift with a breast-height safety net for 10 people to ride on. It is commonly used in construction, but I did not know it would be used for this purpose. The guards take their weapons and climb up to the lift. As the iron scaffold ladder moved, it climbed to a height that was clearly visible beyond the 7 meters high wall.

Phew!

When the eyes of Tressie Street caught sight of the darkened beachhouse area and its center, the Defence Force heavily sighed for a long, unsuspecting sigh.

"Should I be glad I'm not nervous at all? '

'Dammit! We have to be exterminated overnight to be the prey of mutants. This is like the life of a fly. Isn't this how I ended up in District D?'

The Defence Force's gaze was dull.

- Destroy anything approaching the wall! Repeat! Destroy all objects approaching the Wall!

The battalion commander who was with him received orders from the earphones, frowned and gave orders to his troops via a communicator. When the Defence Force switched the particle guns from a safe mode to a firing mode and crossed the chin of their chest height, the steel wall, which was already seven meters high, was bent in a section of their own 300 meters.

"What is this?"

"What's with the wall?"

The residents of Biehouse, surprised by the sound of the machine ringing in the middle of the night, began to roar in amazement at the existence of the tall steel wall.

"Aah! There's a dead body!"

"What the hell is going on?"

The villagers come out first and are surprised to see the dead body shot and scream.

- Open fire!

- But they just watch...

- Shut up. We don't want any more. Fire in the hole!

At the commander's command, the defensive forces on the lift start firing.

Ping! Ping!

"Huff!"

"Grrrgh!"

"What? What's wrong?"

Surprised by the sudden appearance of a steel wall, the villagers start to collapse screaming, being shot at by the Defence Force. At that time, the construction machinery that built the steel wall began to build a huge brick on the steel wall, three meters thick and 3.5 meters wide by the large transport conveyors. It was a reinforcement facility to enhance the wall's guarding. In just a few hours, the barrier will collapse inside the firewall. This will leave residents exposed to contaminated environments preoccupied with the immediate survival challenges they face. Until then, this slaughter will continue. Starting in the area close to the steel wall, the lights of the houses began to light up, and it didn't take long for things to get ugly. This barrier's minification policy has been drastically pushed to 30 Big Union sites. The policy, which was triggered by the energy issue, was designed to separate criminals and incapacitators who were plagued by the union economy from those who remained.

With the exception of some unions, I have already selected and changed my residence during the preparation period of about a year, and I have integrated the zones from S to F into three zones again. Within the three zones of NS, NI and NO, the freedom to transfer residence was given and treated the same. Very soon, residents who were busy living a day under the Union regime of extreme selfishness and materialism began to forget about the incident that produced numerous outsiders. It is because residents were terrified that they could be expelled from the barrier if they and their families were wrong. Rumors of the disappearance of many residents who had expressed negative opinions about the Union system in some way have raised such horrors. This policy, which artificially pushed about 20% of the entire population out of the barrier, was not a natural disaster, caused the atmosphere of each Union to be dire. Depending on the situation, everyone was anxious that this might happen again, and as a result, more and more people were accessing the virtual reality games.

The area outside the barrier was in extreme turmoil at the moment. There was a riot, but there was no one to enter, so the area began to be destroyed differently every day. Starting with the burning and looting of the shops, a group of people formed their weapons and raised their forces to survive. But that was also a moment. Over time, they had to travel with the herd to survive. Starving people have fallen out. It was only because the powerful possessed limited resources and distributed only to their own hordes. Since there were no production facilities, there was no hope, many residents were able to escape to the mountain range where the outsiders were gathering at night, despite the lack of information. Desert blowing sand winds caused the city to build up sand to reach thigh temperature, causing the scorching sun to turn into a ghost city during the day, and buildings exposed to contaminated environments began to age at a rapid rate. Reality has had a lot of impact on Beyond Games. Once the number of connectors decreased significantly.

There were many newly introduced gamers, but many of them were borers classified as large-scale incapacitators. For them, it is now a proposition to seek food and survive the fight against mutants. Virtual reality games have become entertainment that can no longer be enjoyed. That's why attacking Castle Darkness in the Devil Mountains has been disruptive. Among the members of the lower guild, there were quite a lot of Borders. Harun, who had been obsessed with attacking the last castle after hearing the news of the barrier reduction, could only spend a day after the bay. He finally managed to reach the third castle. Harun gave the hard-working battalion commander and his advisors time to relax and new information came to life as an excuse. Bell and Ari welcome Harun out of the capsule.

"What's going on?"

"It was so full that neither my sister nor I felt any signs."

In fact, Bell and Ari's ability could not help but know that they were working too much. Bell was monitoring GG's characters, including fleas, in real time while Ari was working on the base, and Ari had only just learned how to create a barrier through a suit worn by alcoholic shearers with Saul.

"Anyway, I have to go by myself!"

"I'll be ready."

Harun, along with all his bikes, has now entered Zone F, where the barrier has disappeared. The two moons are illuminating Zone F, which is carelessly static.

"Why is it so quiet?"

"About eight percent of the people who were thrown out of Union left here this evening."

Bell was already aware of the situation here.

"Getting out?"

"Yes, brother. Those disabled or expelled from the National Guard or Union bureaucracy left for the mainland to the southeast. Also, those in the lower group of GG left with the herd."

Almost 800,000 people are left in the eighth half. Bell and Ari heard about a million people who were abandoned at Union on their way here. Many of them lack special abilities, have no clear workplace, and are hostile to the Union system. Those with distinct jobs and families were mostly left alone because they were allowed to stay first. Among them were those who were closely associated with violent organizations and non-citizens who were not outside or registered to be born, and those who were once citizens but were rendered useless by various accidents.

"South-east? Trying to get into the vertebrae?"

To the south-east of Union are high, rugged mountains that connect with the vertebral mountains. Perhaps they were searching for the villages of the Outer Towns scattered in the Spinal Mountains. It moved faster than Harun thought, but there was a reason. Harun's eyes are filled with worry, looking southeast. A ferocious Orgash, driven down from the north by a civilization of Orgasms, sits to the south.

"Rumors of barriers shrinking have been spreading for a long time, and recent residential changes have been frequent, so perhaps the leaders of the herd are prepared in their own way."

Well, rumors of barrier reductions have been spreading for over a year. Now that the barrier is gone, they know better than anyone that staying here will only consume the food they have and make the Orcs and Harks worse.

"So there's two halves left?"

It was strange to walk the dark streets of silence as dark as death. It was once the foundation of a desperate life for itself, but now the dust piled up on the ankles has turned into a ghost city in one day.

"Yes. There's about 200,000 left. But that's weird. Before we left, we checked the satellite for life reactions, but there aren't many thousands left in this city right now."

"Really?"

Harun's eyes narrow.

"Strange. I couldn't find anything on the satellite, but the rope went out like 200,000 times."

"That's really weird."

It's unbelievable that a person close to 200,000 disappeared without a trace, even if they hadn't detected the satellite.

"Then where are the rest of them?"

"I'm detecting a bio-response around Tracy Street."

A hologram created by a tiny computer on Bell's wrist was dotted with blue dots that indicate bioreactions to the Tracy Street where various violent organizations were parasitic.

"Let's go!"

Harun quickly makes his way to Tracy Street. Harun takes the guards and Bell into the streets, keeping the crew on a hundred convertible bikes waiting at the entrance to Tracy Street. Trash Street was as dangerous as Glory Gaia's underlings. I didn't know what kind of attack I would get if I drove my troops in at once.

"Oops!"

Trash Street, which was once a tranquil, but once called a street of pleasure, was completely destroyed. Lots of shops were destroyed or burned down. That wasn't all. There were a lot of dead bodies in the streets. Most of them were supposedly elderly or prostitutes.

"What the hell is going on?"

It's understandable that there was a riot. It can be driven mad enough by the reality of being abandoned and the fear of mutants. They were living a desperate life, so I could understand the frenzy and seizures that erupted at the time. But most of the bodies on the streets are elderly people or children. In the middle there were young corpses, but they were whores with deep makeup and cheap perfumes.

Glory Gaia, did they commit these murders? '

Glory Gaia's underlings were the ones who used to dominate this Tracy Street.

'But with their intelligence, they'd already be out of here.'

I thought maybe Glory Gaia's upper tissues had completely removed the lower tissues. The moment I entered the narrow alley where the moonlight didn't lift properly, Harun's steps stopped. Someone grabbed Harun's ankle.

"Who are you?"

"Ugh… Help me, please!"

Seeing the groaning, it was clear that he was a child. I lift the goggle to dust, and look down, and I see a boy, about eight years old, collapsing and desperately grasping his ankle.

"Please take us with you. I'll do whatever it takes. I'll accept male visitors as well as pickpockets, so please...."

I could see the twinkling eyes among the dried blood and dirt on my face, whether I was hit by someone. From what I could tell, he seemed to have been raised on the streets without registering his birth and carrying pickpockets. Harun hugged the boy. The skinny boy's body, which does not feel like flesh or muscle at all, was only as light as the weight of his life.

"What's your name?"

"There are no names. They call me ribs."

Poor thing. She still had a name, but she didn't give anyone a name.

"Oh! You poor thing!"

Bell suddenly approached the boy's mollusk and quickly checked his condition as he was in tears.

"Three broken ribs and a broken ankle. His right arm was dislocated and he had an intestinal bleed."

"Heal me quickly!"

Harun steps out of the alley onto his bike. I felt relieved in the eyes of the boy in his arms. I finally met the Guardian.

"Hang in there! I'll make sure she doesn't get sick. Okay?"

"Yes, beautiful sister!"

Ribs glances at Bell's face with his gorgeous eyes. Bell, who had learned the art of internal combat from Harun, had a different ability than Harun and Ari. It was the ability to treat with stage. Bell, who had helped several times with his medical expertise, accumulated his strength at an astonishing rate through Harun's internal aerial examination, which had the effect of healing wounds.

Bell takes off his gloves, pulls his strength up and spills it into the boy's body. I wrapped around the broken ribs and ankles and moved the bones to find their place. Rarely developed muscles and ligaments began to rapidly activate, receiving the aura of the Ari. After that, I put my dislocated arm together and gently touched the bleeding intestine. Until now, I frowned and groaned arrogantly in pain, and the face of the ribs relaxed.

"What happened here?"

"Well..."

The boy named Galbi was also unaware of all the situation. He was just brutally assaulted. He opened his heart to Harun and Bell and told them everything he knew. Bell or Harun, who heard Ribbon, was able to understand the situation roughly.

"Looks like the guys in Glory Gaia's undercarriage got angry."

"Yeah, Ari's right."

Glory Gaia's lower forces seem to have been abandoned by her superiors. He had no idea that the barrier was shrinking, except for a portion of the brain. After placing them in such a situation, those who were soaked in madness and anger unravel the anger at the bottom of the criminal organization that has allowed them to make a lot of money. After the benefits of the poor old people and prostitutes who made them make money through bees, pickpockets, thieves, and prostitutes disappeared, they unleashed fear and anger on them throughout the day. Especially adults and elders have been subjected to their anger. Now, most of the Humans on this street are children, and there are only a handful of prostitutes.

"The bad guys said they were going to a place called Cloud Mountain in the southeast."

I don't know where Cloud Mountain is, but it's probably related to Glory Gaia.

"I'll always kill you all!" '

Harun lets out a fierce fury. If we follow them now, we may catch them, but now is not the time.

"Bella, how much can you hold at the fan base?"

"We can accommodate up to 1,500 people in a few days' work."

Turning an empty basement into a residential facility won't take long. We've already stockpiled quite a bit of supplies. Moreover, it was not lacking in manpower because the Baran family brought their fathers-in-law families from the black market with huge materials.

"Can you cure a drug addiction?"

The other day, Harun asked you to find a way to cure the addiction while appointing Hyeryun as the base's medical director. I said it too much at the time, but I was curious about the progress.

"Adults find it difficult to heal. And Azman's opinion. but he said that exposure to drugs would take less than five years, and if he was growing up, it would take time, and the sequelae, but it would heal."

Unfortunately, that's a relief. Harun calls his men into the streets and lurks them out of the building.

"We are the gale mercenaries! Now that we're here to rescue you, those of you who are leaving Union with us, please step outside as soon as possible. This will soon be a world of mutants. We don't have much time. Come out quickly."

The crew roars through the alleyway on their bikes.

"Come out quickly! We must move within the night!"

"Organds and Harks will be here soon. Hurry up!"

The crew is roaming the alley raising their voices, but few people come out.

Damn it!

Poor people who have lived their whole lives locked up in these narrow streets and raised them. They will rarely do anything of their own accord. Those who give freedom do not know what it is, and will now be obsessed with extreme horror and hidden in a narrow, shabby space. Harun takes off his helmet and screams while he walks around the alley among the crew. It was time for him to go into a building and convince him to come out, then give up and turn around.

"Mister!"

There is a voice calling out to him in the darkness. The sound comes from the stairwell leading to the basement of the building. You can see the shining eyes of the moon shining on the faint staircase.

"Who?"

Harun has a curious thought. Although he has lived in District F for several years, he knows very well. Moreover, Tracy Street has rarely been here. Slowly coming out of the darkness to the entrance where the moonlight shines was small. I noticed a little girl who looked so small and slender that she could barely stand on her waist.

"... and you?"

I was familiar with it, but my memory was not clear.

"It's a spot. I recognized it because of your clear, intense eyes."

Whereas the bruised girl's face could not tell how she got hit where and how, her lips and cheeks were swollen.

"Spot?"

"Yes. I was an advocate for you back then. He said he lives around here."

"Ah!"

I just remembered. A little whore I met on the black market the day I got smashed and armored by Baran. Spot smiles widely as Harun recognizes him.

Cute kid! '

She smiled beautifully. It's amazing that Spot recognizes the unique impression that joyfulness gives to the opponent just once.

"Sir, were you in the gale mercenaries?"

"Yes."

"Wow! You look great! I was gonna go in there when I grew up."

"Did you?"

Harun smiles unconsciously. Beyond is not an adult-only game, but due to the price of the capsule, there are very few children who play Beyond among the minors.

"Tsk! You don't believe me, do you?"

"No, I believe you!"

Harun shakes his head and smiles. The girl looked so cute. Wouldn't Belle be like Spot if she were a few years younger?

"Tsk! Stop if you don't believe me. I'm not lying. We know you because the Helnites who bully us every day and treat us like animals are the ones we fear the most because they're the storm troopers."

Hearing that, Harun seemed to know what Spot meant. The Helnite will be the lower tissue of Glory Gaia. If they had access to Beyond, they would certainly have been Darkness' lesser defenders. The storm troopers have crushed the Darkness several times in the Mats Plains and Devil Mountains. Apparently, some of them were members of the violent organization that took over Trash Street. Hearing their own stories, Spot has no way of knowing what's going on, but he doesn't seem to know that the Helnites who are harassing him are afraid of the blast troops.

"Will you save us?"

"Yes!

"Others have abandoned children and women like us for nothing, so why do we need the blast troops?"

"… what?"

Harun's expression is dull and silent. I didn't think Spot would ask in such a logical and orderly fashion.

"Do the storm troopers also need sex partners or angry targets?"

"...."

Harun closes his eyes, his heart suddenly eaten by Spot's words. My heart tells me how I've been treated. Harun shakes his head without a word because his heart aches.

"Then it's even weirder. There's nothing we can do."

"... there are very few children where we have a storm trooper. Almost all grown-ups. He wants our base to be filled with children's chattering and laughter."

"Really? You really don't want anything from us?"

Already deeply wounded, the soul is constantly staring into Harun's eyes as if trying to figure something out.

"No, I wish I had something. I want you to be our future."

"The future?"

Growing up like garbage in a place like this is a spot with an awfully clever face, but I don't think you can understand that.

"Will you be educated if you go to the storm base? So you do what you want. You can be a mercenary behind us, or you can cook, or you can be a doctor. We are short of brothers and sisters."

"Ah!"

Did he finally understand Harun? Spot smiled widely. Although his face was a mess, his smile seemed to bring in the moonlight and illuminate his surroundings.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"But we can't do it without a semi-long. There are already a lot of friends who are dead because they don't have any medicine, and they still don't have the strength to move properly, and they want to come out, but they can't. The Helnite demons who abandoned us said that we couldn't make excuses when we grew up because of the seminars."

"You don't have to worry about that. There is a way out of this drug."

"Queek!"

Spot, who was momentarily dumbfounded by Harun's words, suddenly ran to Harun screaming. Harun, who instinctively sought to strike a spot, looks at the moonlight tears and hugs her to hug his thigh.

"Uh-uh-uh!"

No matter what was so sad, Harun took a deep sigh at the weight of just over 20 kilograms. It was literally a flesh on the bone. I thought that Spot, who looks 10 years old, might actually be a few years older.

"I know it's a bad pill, but I took it. I couldn't help but watch my brothers and sisters get addicted and my bones break and my muscles die. When I ate it, I was not hungry, and I was able to accept whatever perverted behavior my guests were doing, as if they were dreaming. We all knew that if we kept taking that medicine, we would die, but we had no choice. The supply of drugs was suddenly cut off, and the pay went up, and people who were addicted and weak died in piles."

"Phew!"

Harun sighs deeply. It was Himself who caused such a situation.

"My mom died recently, too. because all I had was my bones and my body puking blood all the time, and I couldn't get enough customers unless I was a pervert, so I didn't make enough money to live in a seminar. And recently, there have been fewer perverts looking for a little girl like me. They're terrified men with shadows of death, rich men living in the inner parts of Union, who have recently been cut off."

Perhaps Spot had to live a more difficult life after his mother died.

"My mother died. I'm so glad I don't take those pills anymore. She was addicted to bone marrow, and she didn't have enough semi-longs, so she couldn't move her fingertips unless she drank. The mother I saw before I died was the one I saw in my dream. It was a beautiful, warm mother. The cloudy, blurry eyes that always glowed like stars. She braided my hair beautifully with her warm hands. You're not supposed to take those pills. I want you to find a guardian who doesn't give her the medicine. The first time I saw her, her eyes were clear."

"I'll be your guardian!"

Harun's voice is hard, but he's struggling to speak up because his heart is being eaten.

"Ahhhh!"

In Harun's arms, Spot cries for a long time. Harun warmly hugs the spot without saying a word. I was very careful because I thought it would break if I held it tightly. The crying subsides, and Spot finally stops crying.

"Mister, put me down!"

"Why?"

"I'll go get my friends."

The face was covered with tears, but Spot's face was shining brightly.

"Sure."

Spot had a wider network than I expected. As soon as Spot moves like a squirrel, people who didn't come out even though they were screaming began to come out. Hyeryun provided a light meal while treating the wounded children and women along with the medical staff while shed tears. Most of them remained starving for two days, leaving them without injury. After the first people left, they started searching the building in the second place. According to the children who came out, there were not many people who were uncomfortable with their behavior because they were heavily addicted or sick in the buildings.

Spots and a few other children played an important role in the work. It was for those who feared outsiders. Harun first sent more than 1,000 children and women to the base. More than 100 men will be arriving at the Bike base. Harun, who asked for various preparations for the new brothers and sisters through Bell and Ari, suddenly heard a woman.

"He's an angel."

Turning to me, I saw a young woman sitting on her back against the wall with her drug addiction not working properly. Following her gaze, she saw spots leading her crew around this building.

"Her mother was a whore like me. She had a beautiful smile like a flower. I grew up in a pretty good house, but I got pushed out of the district because I was incapacitated, and I met the wrong guy and I drove here. I've been tamed by Helnites with drugs, but I've helped people live a life that's more pitiful and difficult than they are. She's dying, but she's helping us on your behalf. I used to get beaten up every day by swarms or by side for people who were starving like me because they couldn't accept guests. Because he always lived with bruises, they named him Spot, meaning" stain, "but he always cheered people up. like now."

In this situation, it would have been if Spot hadn't lost his bright smile. Harun's eyes widen as he looks at Spot.

"A young boy is so much better than me! '

Now he has a lot of things. He now had a lot of power, whether it was luck or not, because of his efforts. But even with that power, he could not turn his eyes to those who lived through suffering in this darkness. It breaks my heart to think that I might have saved more people if I had thought of them earlier.

"Thank you! I don't know what we can do for the gale mercenaries, but if we can get out of this stinking, filthy place, it's a big favor to us." I need a favor. "

"What is your request?"

"For addicts like us, just give them some food and leave them here. Kids haven't been on drugs for a long time, and they're growing up, so there's a chance, but we're not. We can't do anything with our useless bodies."

"No one is useless!"

"… no one is useless?"

"Yes. I'm a little better at being poor, but I can empower people who think life is hard."

Anyone who thinks his life is a burden can be comforted by seeing someone who is objectively more pathetic than himself.

"If you see people living more vigorously who think they're more pathetic than themselves, you can make the world resent you and reflect on who you're not trying to be."

"...."

"A man cannot live alone. Human beings are always living with someone to compare and compare. You may be disappointed in your incompetence in life, but that's what all beings experience when they leave you with and without abilities. If these children come to the base, who will they rely on? Can you trust and accept the brothers and sisters of the old base on the face of the earth? Adults like you should hug them and nurture them until they find emotional rest. And who says you can't cure a drug addiction?"

"... are you telling me you can cure a drug addiction?"

Is it because her words are too sharp? Or is it similar to how she feels? The women who gathered nearby and waited for the bike to return saw Harun in unison.

"Drug addiction destroyed the brain cells, but the human body has a mysterious and mysterious ability. Even if it doesn't regenerate, the rest of my life is just normal. I'm willing to break free from addiction, but I can rehabilitate as long as I'm strong."

"I, really, really?"

"Yes. The chief physician at our base is confident. If you go to the base, there will be drugs and rehabilitation programs available to treat your addiction. Just think about quitting your drugs."

"Hehe! Hehe!"

"I can live! Hehehehe!"

Harun's adamant words bring tears to the nearby women's eyes. Drug addiction makes it hard to get there. Now I was unable to make enough money to buy drugs, so I had to endure the withdrawal painlessly. Withdrawals destroy the mind as well as the body. Many colleagues chose suicide because they could not endure the terrible pain. The women here have had children or have barely endured the strings of hope for life. But the situation was hopeless. After all, Union, which was the foundation of life, has reduced the barrier.

The contaminated air had already had a serious impact on their health, as well as their own. There, even those who forgot their hypertension abandoned themselves. I thought all that was left was to be fed by the Orgna Harks. A ray of hope shined upon them. The hope that did not come even though I had always remembered came to me at the deepest hour of despair. A lot of tear-dried eyes were on Harun and the squadron of thundering mercenaries running hard for them. Survivors who were left on Tracy Street were transported to the storm base three times. A bicycle left behind by an alcoholic leaflet that had recently attacked the base was very helpful.

"This is where we live?"

"Queek! I love it!"

"I've never seen a place so clean!"

The women who looked around the base were surprised and dumbfounded by the amazing facilities, but even though the children had lived rough lives, it was inevitable. From now on, I was so excited to see where they live that I was busy. Spot had already familiarized himself with the few faces of the base and was poking around and passing the information on to the children. Dr. Hwang and the warden took the necessary steps, including identifying the immigrants and assigning rooms for temporary residence with some of the brothers and sisters. The rest of the brothers and sisters were busy helping Bell and Ari to create a living space in the empty basement. The brothers and sisters, who were not connected, handed out their clothes and supplies. The production group used sophisticated robotic arms to make restless furniture, while the staff prepared delicious food. After a late breakfast, people gathered in several places, including restaurants and plazas, and received greetings from Harun and the base leader through holographic footage.

- It doesn't matter what life you've lived here so far. You are now a new member of our base. We are one family, and it will only be a safe and comfortable place to live if every family strives to protect it. The existing brothers and sisters are working hard to make room for you now, so you will have your own room soon. Take a few days off to see what it's like to live in my home and be guided on how to live. You need to tell me what your life will be like now so you won't be able to feel it.

The people were looking for peace of mind due to the greetings from the leaders of the storm base and the sincere attitude of the members of the storm base who came here. At least there's a belief that this place won't bother them. When the new brothers and sisters were standing at the intersection of anxiety, expectations and intersection, a ceremonial meeting was held.

"Do you have a head count?"

Harun's gaze was on the Warden first. That was the most important thing.

"Yes, sir. 3,024 total persons, 2,211 women, 813 men, 654 adults. Among adults, there are 112 men over the age of 40, and they have all kinds of diseases."

It was probably a natural outcome. Whether he is an adult or a minor, a healthy man leaves all of Union. The rest of the men are either heavily addicted to drugs and are uncomfortable with their movements or elderly.

"Children under the age of 10 are 1,541 and the rest are 16. It is estimated that all children close to the age of majority have left Union."

"I see. What's the health of the new family members?"

This time, Hyeryun caught people's attention.

"Most of the new brothers and sisters are addicted to drugs. The addiction is very severe for adults. 200 people left with involuntary involuntary involuntary physical dysfunction, and the rest are exhibiting abnormalities in their intellectual abilities, nerves and muscles. In the case of children, the older they get, the more addicted they are to girls than boys."

The report of Hyeryung made people's faces worse. The new brothers and sisters are so deeply exposed to drugs that it is hard to find normal teeth.

"What are the potential treatments?"

"According to a simulation on the main computer at the base, under 10 can be cured in six months. Youths under the age of 16 will recover to a significant level in about a year. The problem is that for adults, even after treatment, it's hard to find normal intellectual and motor skills with dead brain cells."

"Do your best, Doctor."

Hyeryun was intrusive and sad all the time during the report. She had brought in her lenses so far, blaming herself for not seeing people standing at the edge of despair.

"Chief Bell, how about building a residential facility?"

"The current fair rate is 34%. Not only the base members, but the artisans who came with Baran a while ago are working hard, so I think I can complete it in two days."

Thank goodness. I was able to be less worried because I had enough ingredients.

"Chief Ari, how did you decide on the assignment?"

"Yes, that part was decided by Dr. Hwang's advice. Once you have a family, you decide to assign two rooms. And in the case of adults, I decided to assign a house for one person and two people for children. We are confident that these measures will be a big part of growing emotional stability as well as social security for children who are not experiencing family experiences."

"Well done, Ari. But does it really help?"

I had good intentions but became concerned. He too grew up in a dependent family, but he was only unhappy in his childhood. Given the fact that we don't even care about our blood relatives, this can make our children unhappy. Dr. Hwang stepped up and replied to Harun's concerns.

"It's because the program is not running properly at Union at the moment. You can't just leave your child in a foster home and pay for it. Through constant education of foster parents and a variety of programs that the whole family can join together, we can make a family. It took a lot of human resources to do that, and it happened because they didn't have this kind of careful support, and they didn't even have a proper social atmosphere, because they didn't have a biological family. Just in the early days of Union, these support programs led to proper households being created."

"Very well. I trust only Dr. Hwang."

Harun believed in Dr. Hwang's wisdom and administration, although he was anxious. Since when did he oversee training at the base?

"You have nothing to worry about. Unlike the Inners, our outsiders value our family very much. Moreover, the child mortality rate is so high that the perception of the child or the adoption is completely different from that of Inner."

As I continued to speak to the warden, I was even more relieved. He understood their words well enough. Outers are deeply in love with their children due to high infant mortality due to the contaminated environment. Children were the future of the village because they lived in a village of only hundreds. Even if the parents die, the whole village cares about supporting them. Women are precious in contaminated environments. Women who are weak in adapting to the environment not only have low birth rates, but also die easily. It was the same for mutant organisms. That's why Oregon invades Union or Outer Village and kidnaps women.

"The new brothers and sisters are the lonely and poor people who were neglected at Union. Please try to accept me as a family member."

"Don't worry, Commander. We have already been educated enough, and since we were in the same situation until recently, there are no brothers and sisters who will be victorious."

The warden was confident, punching himself in the chest. The base accepted new brothers and sisters several times. The first were residents of the village, and the second were lenses. The third is the outsiders who come by family unit. They are not all different at all. Harun trusted the brothers and sisters, as well as the base chief. To put it bluntly, everyone lived a lonely and miserable life. Moreover, he hoped that the base would come back lively, since many children and women that were hard to see at the base had flown in.
