Hunter of the Perished World

People believe in Hive and they don't believe in Hive. But the Hive will be real. There is definitely an ecosystem of monsters dying and killing each other in a huge colony. Gene didn't check it with his own eyes, but he thought it was likely.

Monsters attracted by humans have ironically created an ecosystem of monsters.

But real, real dangerous monsters don't come out.

Therefore, there is a Hive, but people are only looking at the convenience. In such a short walk, the metropolitan area is maintained.

With more humans and more monsters than ever before.

Gene arrives at the client's house and delivers a flyer. He looks at the nearby Leona first, rather than the joy of the hunter's arrival.

”Never mind. He's a do-gooder.“

”A apprentice?“

He nods as if he knew, though it was a warm reaction. The house only used an old apartment, but the fact that there was a house with a clear personal space allowed him some space.

Either way, you have a home. Either you bought it from the original owner or you got rid of the owner without even knowing it. It was also important to keep as much as it was in an age when no one guaranteed my rights.

Gene asked straightaway.

”Quest?“

”Follow me.“

The flyer did not include any details, so it was necessary to meet the client further. He prepares to leave, then heads somewhere, where there is a single-story building with a lock.

Chug, chug, chug!

He grunts, opening a few layers of padlocks.

”Damn, I just bought this building for a cheap price. I knew you'd have this problem. “

Grumbling at Gin and Leona, who don't know the details, is useless, but he whispers, shaking his key in a sturdy lock.

”I was totally scammed. I never thought rats would nest in the basement. “

He had just decided to set up a restaurant after buying the cheap property from the market. But it was a story about monsters living underground.

”I should have known when it was fucking locked up. “

However, the seller quickly sold the item and couldn't find it by running off somewhere. In the end, the seller was wrong, but he didn't know much about the product and blamed himself for buying it. It's foolish to buy such cheap things in a world that no one trusts.

Ting!

”Damn it! “

There, the last of the locks even broke through the breach. He sighs as his face flushes red and gazes at Gin.

”Nothing's working. Wait. Get the cutter…. “

Punk!

Gene squeezes the lock in his hand and squeezes the lock. Jean said briefly, looking at the dumb-looking client.

”I don't pay for my hard work. “

”... I'm sure you're good at it. Come in.“

The owner nods with a expressionless look as he looks at the power of crunching the lock with his bare hands.

Leonardo sees the enormous power of Jean's grip and shakes his head in horror. As soon as the client touches the switch on the dim interior, a light comes on.

Automotive power systems using reactors were widespread within the metropolitan area. Using energy was solely my responsibility. Quite a spacious interior for a store.

”I like the conditions here. The neck is fine, and the store will be fine once the monsters are gone. Any thoughts? If you're a hunter, you can take care of the monsters here. “

Jean smiles deeply at the client.

”I tend to prefer a garden. “

The client smiles as if he was just saying that he wasn't interested in real estate. Gene stands in front of a staircase going down a subtle hidden basement.

”There could be another iron gate down there. I haven't been down there since I almost died. I won't ask, just clean it up and I'll give you 100 chips. “

”I want you to give me half your advance now. “

”Here you go. “

The client handed you the chip to see if you knew that much.

Chalgrak

Gene checked the 50 chips in the client's pocket and put them in his pocket. Leona has seen Jean handle the quest, but it is quite strange to see such a clever landscape up close.

It was the work of a dry and dry hunter. It looks like a daytime landscape where there is no tension, but it actually kills something.

Leona looks so strange and amazing.

”Will you wait here? “

”I don't have anything else to do. “

There must be overlap of minds to keep an eye on the hunter's work.

Heavy iron gates were intertwined with chains, and the client's complexion changed as Gene began to unravel them. Come to think of it, being here means the hunters are going to start hunting monsters, which means you might miss one and come up here.

”Cow, boy. Are you okay?“

The client stutters and asks if Leona is curious, just watching Gene do it. Leona shrugs as if her client didn't understand.

”What are you so afraid of? “

I was surprised once by the attitude of why I was scared after leaving the naturalized one, and the client was surprised again when he saw the kid pulling a Juju Island rifle out of his bag like that. Leona admired the fact that she had just seen gin, she checked the ammo in the magazine, combined it, and pulled the loading lever.

Heave-ho!

It looked like I had shot several times.

”Ugh... “

The hunter said with a shivering expression that the client thought the bud was different from the aspiring.

”Well, well... I'll just stay home. “

”Of course.“

Heave-ho, heave-ho!

Before Jean can break the chain, the client returns to a desperate step.

”Good to be prepared, but I'm not going to use a gun. “

”Why?“

”Wasting ammunition on fools is less productive. We're doing this for the money. Use it in self-defense for now. “

”Yes.“

Leona nods. It was a start to raise the funding for 200,000 chips, and in order to collect it quickly, all the hunting had to be done at a minimum cost. The iron gate leads to the basement, and the basement is blocked by another chain of iron doors.

As you get closer, you hear a small sound.

Chop, chop!

‘Rats are right for once.... ’

By measuring the sharpness and magnitude of the sound, you can tell it's a monstrous rodent. At times, clients often said that they could not believe what they were saying because they were writing monsters down as smaller or weaker species. If the quest is too dangerous, there are a lot of hunters who didn't take care of it in the first place.

As you unchain, the cracking grows louder from the inside.

Heave-ho, heave-ho!

”Stay away a little bit. “

The gin is a steel blade in its right hand and a pair of gloves in its left hand. The door can be opened at any moment. Leona takes about three steps back and watches Gene.

Tsk, tsk...

Then, I opened the door with only a slight opening. Inside, a brown mouse the size of a child's torso grunts, staring at the camp with sharp teeth.

Grrrrrrrrr...

It was an unbelievably eerie and sharp voice. A monster rat that eats bone fragments in a hundred minutes. Rats were more vigilant than attacking. As if to ask Jean to leave, she looks like she's growling with a twinkle in her eyes. She warns you that she won't be fun when she comes in.

‘Actually, it looks like a mole. ’

Monsters have thought judgments, and even though their intellect varies from person to person, they are similar to animals.

Those moles formed a herd's nest underground. The attack on the nest of the beast is the same as the death penalty. There are cubs in the nest, and they will desperately try to kill him to protect them, and they will never escape.

Gene pondered for a moment. Equipment is convenient and easy to solve, but now is the time to be brave.

”Wait here. “

”What are you going to do... “

Heave-ho!

”Madness!“

Boom!

Gene opens the iron door roughly, then quickly goes inside and closes the door roughly. Leona was frightened because she didn't think Gene was always this stubborn about winning.

Khhhhhhh!

The nest invaders hear a rattling sound.

* gasp, gasp * I'm fine!

And the sound of something being punched and crushed resonates.

Chop, chop!

Boom, boom! Boom!

Leona doesn't look like a fool, but she feels like she can see the mess that's going on inside.

About ten minutes later, the noise subsided and the iron door opened powerlessly.

”Are you okay? “

”That's it. It's been so easy so far. “

Hunting with a gun is easy. Gene should be used to this by now. Leona disappears from the sight of countless chunks of flesh.

Even though they didn't use a single bullet, they cleared out the monster's nest in no time.

”No, why have you been such a pain in the ass all this time? ”

Then, after a long while, the hunt for perseverance vanishes. According to Leona, Jean pinched herself.

“…… look at me. ”

“ ……. ”

Gin, which was covered in monster flesh, saliva, bodily fluids, and blood, was truly the shape of a ghost.

“I see.”

Obviously, I couldn't help but leave. Definitely the result of a naked fight was never cool.

“That's why I'm going out like this. Get your client and get him some clothes to change while he's coming. I need to clean up after myself. ”

“Clean up? What's left... ”

Boom! Boom! Chop!

It was a fool to get shot by a guard on the subway. Leona tilts her head to see what's behind it, but soon she can figure out what it is.

Chop, chop!

Gene is trampling the nested baby rats one by one. Every time I am trampled, a pathetic sound echoes through my throat. Somehow, Leona creeps up to the top of Huddak.

Even though I did it as a quest, it didn't look very desirable.

The client was once surprised to see Gene's molestation, and once again astonished at how many giant rats he had cleared out of the bird.

“Is the bird over? ”

“No, those who went out into the dungeon haven't come back yet. There's more of them here. ”

“Well, then what should I do... ”

Rats dug a hole around it, as it was a nest. Rats who went to get food may not have returned yet. But once the nest was destroyed, it was important to take back the basement.

The hunt is over, but Gene tells me more things to do.

There were a lot of people who just did my job and left, but Gene was still the type to do the work and finish the job according to the client's original purpose. Gene points to the cave that was pierced by the rat corpses scattered in the basement with lamps.

“Don't burn these rat carcasses or burn them. These tunnels are the deepest. Push them all over here." After that, you can cement the hole and block it, and once you've done that, you're done. ”

“You want me to just dump the body here? That way, the dead hunters will be attracted to you. Maybe if I put cement on it, it'll penetrate and come back up. ”

It was a reasonable question to ask if the monsters who smelled the corpse would rather catch the monsters and call in other monsters.

“What do you think happens when the rats out there bite their cubs? ”

When I returned to the nest, all the cubs were dead, and the other rats guarding the nest were torn apart, and the corpse hunters crawling into their dens were gnawing on my colleagues' corpses.

“Ugh... They're fighting amongst themselves? ”

“That's right. If two monsters fight in this cramped den, one of them will win anyway. The dead hunters will be swarming, and the rats will come back one by one, and the dead hunters will kill all the rats." They'll go somewhere else if they just take their food anyway, so you don't have to worry. They're not nest builders, so they'll just make sure the rats are dealt with and find the other bodies. ”

The creature in a position it could not grasp was actually used to hunt using the same creature. Since it was a point of view that he had never thought about, the client nodded his head to see if Jean had a clear opinion.

“Yes, I see! ”

Not only did I solve the problem now, but I also prepared the abdomen to solve the problem later, so I remembered a smile on his face.

“Move now, for now. We must seal the breach first. ”

“Oops! I should do that. ”

The client left in a hurry because he had to plug the hole before the rat came back.

“You have to pay the money back. ”

“Oh, look at me. Thank you, huntsman!”

He pays Gin and leaves. We had to move quickly to get the cement and regenerate the makeup. Gin and Leona are back on the streets. After dressing heavily with the clothes the client brought, you put the bloody clothes in your backpack.

“Let's go to the next place. ”

“Do it again? ”

When Leona asked, Gene looked at Leona as if to ask her something like that.

“You have to do 10 quests a day for this level. No time to rest. ”

Leona had a hunch that it was the wrong choice to follow. However, Gene was already taking care of the flyers and looking for the next location.
