Hunter of the Perished World

[117] The Hive (2)

The giant oysters were worth walking with, and the place collapsed and collapsed, so I could guess the current situation.

“Whatever drilled the tunnel must be extinct or grounded by now. ”

Everyone was equipped with night-vision goggles in a dark tunnel. It was foolish to light up in the dark.

“Are we going to the entrance? Or are we going to the exit? ”

It was a question of whether to go to the route that was used in the past, or to the route that came out when you escaped.

“It's the exit. The place that went in was a floating place that couldn't get out. ”

It was foolish to go to the place where we found it because the ground collapsed and not into the Hive. Despite the chaos, they were able to remember exactly how they escaped.

Sometimes, some memories can never be erased, and for both of them, the memories were very intense.

If people knew there was such a web of spiders underground in the metropolitan area, they would have panicked immediately.

And the monsters that come out of the underground network of some giant monster make a mess of the city.

There were a lot of hidden exits and entrances, most of which could be untouchable.

Whether it was to store data on the helmet, the diversion was to consciously move around the camera, etc. Based on this data, we were planning to subdue the Hive.

This place was solemnly quiet because of CP that was too strong to withstand even monsters. Gene notices the situation and asks.

“Yuan, is your objective to bring down the Hive? ”

“That's all I've lived for. ”

“Why?”

“I don't know.”

Despite betraying the hunters, the remains have gone their own way.

“I've lost so much here, that's all I can think about. ”

I went through things that were nothing compared to being a mere beard. He didn't say anything, but Tae-Mar knew what it was like to feel a sickness.

My disciple, who taught me hard and became a hunter together, lost friends who had been with me for a long time. Hunters sometimes march in teams of Jonah, and in metropolitan areas that are more frequent. Tae-Mar had such colleagues, and Tae-Mar and Hae were such colleagues.

After losing everything in one day, life did not take a step there.

All the life after that was to come back here.

But it doesn't end with you coming back. Now we must complete our reconnaissance and get back to life.

“Do you remember what the Hive looks like? ”

“It's very dirty.... It was a filthy place, and it made no sense that such a large underground space could be created. ”

It was Tae-Mar's answer.

“You'll see soon enough. ”

The scaffolding quietly walks as if it were quicker to see. There were no monsters because of the enormous toxicity here, so there were no encounters with nasty monsters until we reached the entrance to the Hive.

There is a sliding hole between the collapsed tunnels.

“You're still there. ”

Taehon and the plague climbed up there desperately like worms. Without hesitation, one by one, they slip down to the real Hive.

‘Different from the air. ’

I can feel the heavy, sticky air swirling around my neck. Until just now, it was just a cave carved with rocks, but from the moment I came down, I could feel that both gin and ramfil had changed.

Tsk, tsk...

You hear a threatening sound that you don't even know where it's coming from. You hear strange noises from a distance, whether monsters are fighting monsters or keeping them flowing.

The sound that came from a quiet but distant place was the first I had ever heard. The walls were dried-up with mucous membranes or mucous matter, and the unidentified hairs were moving slowly, rattling like creatures, surrounded by underground plants like clods. All around, the vines seemed like caverns occupied by giant trees.

Underground plants that breathed looked like tentacles.

Both the Taehwan and the Relic have hardened like a stone. The only hand left in the marriage is slightly twitching.

Even the air and atmosphere changed, so now the four were like entering a completely different world.

And the two who had experienced that other world needed time to reflect on their fears and overcome them.

“From here on out, I'm in front. ”

Guidance is over, so Gene is now the best at handling the situation. Gene pulls out a phantom vane, puts it on his back, and joins a magazine filled with AKM assault rifles in his right hand.

From now on, I didn't know what was going to happen, and I had to have nerves all over my body.

Knng! Knng! Sew him up!

The way down was wide, and Gene looked around in a distant, resounding sound. It was unclear what these caves were dug out of or what colonies were made of while inhabiting large underground spaces. The way the living walls wobbled was horrible enough to make the match even when the dizzy people saw it.

Gene walked slowly, checking everything in sight. Others followed slowly.

‘I imagined there would be a Hive, but this strange place...' Looks like the walls are almost alive. There are monsters like that, but they don't live underground like this... Luckily, you're not harmful. ’

When it is determined that it is impossible to turn a perfect circle, it retreats. Operations are fairly autonomous, but Gene can already feel the arena of many monsters coming from afar.

Ramfil was thinking the same thing as Gin.

What the hell is this place? ’

It was just a peculiar ecology for monsters with massive colonies. The stench of the air, the strange vegetation that covered the surroundings, and the forks that appeared seemed to have pierced the ground, but they seemed to exist.

At the fork in the road, Gene didn't think long. The way back is remembered in your head. Just to recap, Gene went in wherever the fork appeared.

Queek, queek, queek!

Zec

Suddenly, Gene raises his hand to stop the group. In front of you is a corner where you have to turn around and go.

Woodpeck! Woodpeck!

Queek! Queek!

It was the sound of a predator biting something. Gene prepares his weapon and slowly approaches alone, propelling his head into a corner.

‘That... What is it?

A humanoid creature, with a grotesque tentacle all over its body, is squatting and gnawing at something.

It was a strange plant that made up this wall.

Queek, queek!

However, the biting plant screams, bleeding dark red blood every time the evil tentacle tears itself apart as if it were alive. I have no idea where that thing is making that noise, or where it's eating it.

Following Gin's signal, others remained stationary.

I've never seen a monster like that before in my life.

It is unnecessary to think so.

When dealing with the unknown, the answer is simple.

must be struck.

[Darkbone active, 1 second.]

Pot!

Black fog gushes from Gene's body, and he disappears from where he stood.

Whoo-hoo!

And the next moment, Gene's phantom vane was bashing the tentacle monster's head in.

Blah!

And the beast, which is expected to hit the head in a single blow, bursts out rather than cuts. Gene does not stop, but strikes the tentacle monster debris several times.

It's more about chopping it down than cutting it down.

Boom, boom! Boom!

“Crazy…. ”

Gene, who had been knocked down four times in just one second, was looking at the beast that had suddenly become flesh and blood. His flesh was trembling, but he was definitely dead.

“It's over. Come on. ”

The other three slowly approached. The corpse of the slowing creature and the vegetation that was eaten twitched were rotten.

“Yi, the monster here is so quick.... I can't believe you took care of it..."

Tae-Mar was dumbfounded as if she was tired, and so was the pandemic.

“What's with the look on your face? ”

But Ramfil asked me something else. Though the hunt was successful, Gene's expression was horribly stiff.

“I activated the Dark Bone... He had to strike four times before he died. ”

You approach the moment and ambush the monster in the middle of a meal. However, the tentacles on my body became tangled and rigid as soon as I struck the sword. I sensed and reacted to the attack in such a short time.

The phantom vane destroyed the creature, not slaughtered it. The sickness reaches out its right hand toward the twitching tentacle.

Glug glug!

Blue flames pour out, igniting the tentacles. The tentacles wriggled in the flames of a very high fever and immediately became charcoal and stopped moving.

“The tentacles here should think of each tentacle as an individual creature. They all move in separate directions. ”

“It's not the tentacles that come out of the body, it's the other creature, the tentacles, that's attached to the monster. ”

Therefore, each tentacle senses a crisis as an individual creature. So, in fact, what Gene killed was not just a monster, but a collection of many tentacles.

Gene's expression hardens because he can't shoot even this small creature with the Darkbone active.

“Tentacles grow or shrink at will. ”

Taehon spoke of the tentacle-like monster that appears most often in the Hive. Tentacles grew and decreased spontaneously, but the most important thing was that they were also free materials to thin. The robbery has just turned out just like before.

“It can turn into a whip or a blade, so it's better to shoot from a distance to deal with tentacles. ”

Gene had just dealt with the monster in a fairly dangerous manner in the past.

Tentacles become spears that attack enemies, and at the same time, they surround themselves and add strength to their shields to defend themselves from attacks.

“Even shooting from a distance, these tentacles' reflexes are fast enough to react to bullets. ”

Ammo is always faster than sound, unless you use subbullet. But the tentacle's reflexes are responsive to flying bullets.

And they say tentacle monsters are the most prevalent. The appearance and shape are different, but most of them depend on tentacles.

At the bottom of the food chain, even plants and eating monsters have reflexes that transcend sound speed. Jin mutters with a bitter smile.

“Maybe people have been mistaken. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“The Hive's monsters are coming to the surface, which is ridiculous. ”

The monsters of the metropolitan area are from a completely different place, and the Hive may be just a hive, and there won't be any monsters up there.

If these monsters come up, ordinary hunters won't be able to cope at all. Existing monsters live just above the Hive or in the city in the first place, and the Hive was just discovered by accident and has nothing to do with the monsters on the ground.

He nods heavily, as if the marriage and the plague would be correct.

If there is no connection between monster damage on the ground and the Hive at all, there is no reason to subdue the Hive.

‘No, it's getting bigger. ’

Even if the Hive is gone, the monsters on the ground aren't gone, so there may be a reason why Dominators need to continue to subdue the hive even more.

Apart from Gin's tension, the prevalence and the reaction of marriage were the opposite. They had to wage a tremendous amount of neurological warfare to catch one of these monsters, and sometimes the hunter was sacrificed.

Gene, however, said the level of the monster was high, but the fact that he finally beat him up in a second, did not change.

Of course, Gene was only as cruel as he said he was.

‘Tentacle…. ’

I had a bad feeling that I had already climbed up my back.

While scouting the Hive, the scouts dodged an enemy. There was no need to raise awareness by unnecessarily drawing the attention of the monsters. Even with the silencer in place, the shooting is large, and the attack is inevitable. Fortunately, Gene knew how to get out of the enemy's sight even in the first place.

It was a bodied empirical knowledge only given to those who had treaded on unknown lands countless times.

Marriage and moribund were forced to marvel at the moving camp, continuing in concealment and concealment. They can see the enemies, but they are moving from where they can't see them to a different location, making sure only reconnaissance is carried out.

The monsters didn't see the scouts, and Jean knows how to breathe and move better than anyone.

The Hive was a place of myriad of streets and massive spaces. There were, of course, relatively many more monsters in the large space. The Hive was certainly a vast land that dominated a considerable range.

Monsters with tentacles aren't the only ones. The deep darkness sensed by the infrared camera rises like smoke everywhere, suddenly staggering, and it blazes.

Queahhhh!

The tentacle monster swallowed by black smoke suddenly starts spraying tentacles towards all sides.

Boom, boom!

The tentacle monster controlled by the possession starts to attack for no reason, and the other monsters who saw it flee.

‘Ghosts…. ’

The evil spirits that appear suddenly from nothing and radiate tremendous horror towards the surrounding area just spray the only malice that is wet with such frenzy. It seemed to remind me of a terrible memory of the time when the fear overwhelmed my colleagues and they were being shot at.

If it was Gene, these three could easily be taken over by such horrors. The demons haven't detected them yet, but we needed a countermeasure if we're going to face something like that.

Gene sends a signal to the party with a beacon to bring him closer. Four men hide behind the rocks, and Gene pulls out a spell.

Using the letter "Minus" in the number of circulations, the formula of "Minus" in the number of circulations is used. ’

It was supposed to be conscious, but as long as the Dark Bone's energy was present, the process was unnecessary.
