Rebuild World

175 Hall Monsters

Akira and the others moved the debtor's exploration location from the garden to the building. With no one to clean up the body, the building remains miserable with traces of resistance. The body is rolling everywhere, with dry blood spreading on the floor. There were massive traces of blood scattered all over the wall.

When I saw those sights when I entered the hall, hunters like Akira were relatively flat, but non-hunters like Elio had greatly distorted their expressions.

A light exploration of the building found a room with a relatively large number of bodies cluttered. Whoever took away the indoor goods without showing interest in the carcass' possessions cluttered the carcasses aside to be disturbed in carrying them out. Corbe decided to do the debtor identification work here.

Akira had some prediction of the situation in the building as the one who created some of this tragedy. But I noticed the part that was very different from what I expected and it seemed a little strange. Alpha realizes how it is.

"Akira. What's wrong? If you still regret that you fought so flashly, I'd like you to refrain from all kinds of imitations that would invite you to this situation yourself. '

'No, not that way. There's so many bodies rolling around in the room and there's so much blood splashing around, I didn't think I'd smell much for it or anything. "

'Oh, that's the thing. That's a composite reason. A prosthetic body or a cyborg doesn't smell as bad as some biological parts rot. Sometimes the healing pills that are commonly used in life affect the organism, and there are plenty of preservatives even after death. And it is also said that the colorless fog that is spreading in the east suppresses the stench caused by rot and so on. Well, the wilderness doesn't smell unexpected.'

"Is that what it is"

"The bodies are pretty harsh, but most of them were destroyed in battle. Other than that, it leaves quite a bit of the original shape. At least to the extent that Elio and the others can discern the debtor by photographing the body's face."

"Speaking of which, you are."

When Akira got a certain satisfaction, she still lost interest in the surrounding situation. That's a lot out of the ordinary thinking, but Akira doesn't have that awareness.

Next to Elio and the others working on confirming the body, Levin is making provisions for the possession of the body.

Even high-performance firearms are only iron scraps if the damage is cruel. Even if it can be repaired, the purchase price drops dramatically. Reinforced clothing and other items are relatively expensive to purchase, but many items have been adjusted for personal use and are not suitable for resale to others. The sale also requires quite a bit of passing, and the amount of the purchase falls exceptionally from the purchase price. It also takes time to remove the fortified clothes from the corpse.

For this reason, Levine was able to check the damaged condition relatively easily, and was separating items from firearms that were likely to sell at high prices that were easy to assume. When Corbe sees how it is, he looks at his face.

"Hey Levin. I told you not to neglect your job."

"'Cause it's okay. This is all the bodies rolling around. We'll have to wait longer for Elio and the others to finish checking, won't we? I'm just using my time in the sky."

"If the time is empty, you should go check it out. Be on your perimeter, too."

"He said he was doing that too. I'll be fine."

Levin laughs lightly but continues his sorting work seriously. It is not a relic of the old world, nor is the object to be taken home a relic, so it is not caught by the restrictions on the sale of cuttlefish. It doesn't cost ammunition. You have to make money here to pay off your swollen debts.

Corbe also knows what happened to Levin. Therefore, after complaining, I just had to exhale gently.

Remember Akira's mild doubts while guarding her surroundings.

"Hey Corbe. I think I've already spotted a good number of debtors and carried them out, but are there that many debtors?

"Hmm? Yeah, it's not that much if it's just for the financier I got the job for, but the guy named Tomezima, the vendor, talked to the other vendors and put together a single piece of information on the person being searched for. I mean, we're looking for financiers' debtors all over the place. That's why it's quite a few. Plus, there's not a lot of people out there looking for debtors."

"Why so little?

"I don't know the details, either. Rumor has it that an unexpectedly expensive artifact was found in an unexpected ruin. Maybe they're putting people on the job for you."

It should be noted that Corbe has not fully recovered from his previous experience of being eaten and killed by monsters in the search for ruins, so he did not feel comfortable riding the rumors (rumors) to explore the ruins. Levine was unable to make his way to the collection of relics due to restrictions on the search for relics by cuttlefish.

"... right"

When Akira let her eyes swim slightly, she answered that and then shut up to cut the white.

Corbe was slightly surprised, but he didn't care deeply, thinking that Akira would be interested in the rumor of the hand if she were a hunter.

Akira suddenly turns her gaze to the entrance and exit of the room. Corbe was also caught and looked at you, and you could see two men coming into the room. Levin also stopped working hands when he noticed them.

When the men came straight to Akira and the others, they spoke comfortably to Corbe.

"Isn't that Corbe? It's strange to see you here."

Corbe had a slight look on his face.

"Peppa. What can I do for you?

"No, I just rang because you were there. I don't need anything. Nevertheless…"

Peppa sees Akira and Elio as worthy, then lightly.

"You've fallen a long way. Are you earning a dime for pulling these kids' rates? You're already a fine hunter collapse. After all, life's tough when you can't get to the ruins?

"You seem free to be in a place like this without you going to the ruins or anything like that. Or did you come here to fish for possession of the body? Well, the hunter who can't find a busy relic when he goes to the ruins is right, I suppose?

"Hey..."

As a result of the light incitement, Corbe remained flat and Peppa distorted her face in a grumpy manner.

A man named Bosch, who came with Peppa, stops Peppa.

"Peppa, leave that alone."

Peppa stopped pounding her tongue and poking her any further. Corbe makes a gentle snort and gives Bosch a dumb (awkward) look.

"Bosh. Hold on to Peppa for a second. I'm sure it's in your service."

Bosch is laughing lightly. It's a grin for old friends.

"Don't say that. It would have been Corbe's role. I'm working on it, too, huh?

"Hmm. It's your job now. Doesn't matter. You know me, but I don't know what it is, but don't make me poke around in vain. I know it's dangerous."

Corbe and Bosch had a cheerful atmosphere.

"So, what's Corbe doing here? Didn't you come here to fish for the carcass?... right?

At the end of Bosch's gaze, Levine, who decided the situation was fine, was resuming sorting work. Peppa was pointing her scornful gaze at that Levine.

"I'm just here to search for a debtor. The guys with them helped with that.... uh, leave him alone. Debt is the act of Song. As a person with light surveillance, I can't even tell you not to concentrate on paying off debts."

When Corbe answered that, Bosch frowned.

"You're still working on the gold loan chores?"

"... well, there's a lot going on here too"

"I don't know what to say about this, but if you get too used to working in the city, you won't be able to go back to hunters. I'm guessing you're gonna be back, aren't you? My arm has healed too. I think it's time to start exploring some light ruins with rehab, huh?

"... I know."

Corbe was slightly discouraged by his friend's bitterness.

Tiol chews (squeaks) the torso part of the cyborg inside the scattered room of the body. He is gently lifting his body like a mass of metal to his mouth with only his right hand.

Tiol's left arm is no longer a person's arm. There was a large gun-like thing growing out of his shoulder, to be exact. As each part of the cyborg is eaten and disappears, the gun growing from the shoulder grows larger. And when a certain shape formed, it fell off his shoulder and onto the floor.

The floor is littered with some part formed in the same way. Those parts come with something like a fine arm. Those parts start to move the arm cleverly. The parts grabbed each other, attracted, combined, and became mechanical monsters of unmistakable shape called autonomous walking gun seats.

A newly manufactured pedestrian gun seat walks out and lines up next to a previously manufactured fuselage of the same lineage. Numerous fuselages lined up neatly in the room.

Tiol suddenly stops that hand, who kept eating metal and such silently. And I turned my gaze in one direction. The only thing at the end of my gaze is the walls of the room and the bodies of the orthodox or cyborg. But Tiol could see the sight beyond the wall of the room, further ahead.

Turn your gaze so that Tiol gives some instructions to the mechanical monsters. Then the mechanical monsters start moving together. As the fuselage retreated (dug) the debris that was blocking the entrance and exit of the room with the barrel, arms and legs, they left the room in a controlled motion.

When Tiol saw that all the fuselage had left the room, he again began eating nearby metals, such as Hunters' gear and steel flesh.

Akira continued her perimeter vigilance with training while chatting with Alpha. And when he spotted a slight swing in the enemy results of the intelligence-gathering equipment, he tried to slightly irritate his face and examine the detailed reactions.

But before that, Alpha will alert you.

"Akira. It's a monster."

"Monsters? Aren't they other hunters or something?

"Inhuman cyborg hunters and such are taking collective action by chance. It's up to Akira to consider that possibility. '

'Okay. Then I'll ask Elio and the others to give me back the weapons they lent me. "

'No, you can keep that on loan. corners (because of this), so let Elio and the others work as well. I didn't sign up for their escort.'

'Are you all right?

When Akira looks a little surprised, Alpha smiles confidently.

'Elio and the others are fine because I'm in command. Think of Akira as training and do something for yourself.'

Copy that.

Akira began replacing the AAH assault gun and the A2D assault gun magazine with anti-aircraft heavy loads.

Elio and the others are wearing the goggles they also used during training. This goggle doesn't have a lot of functionality on it itself, but I can still communicate short distances within my peers, so I use it outside of training.

The same indication of instruction appeared on the goggle as it did during training. I look at Akira in amazement at the various instructions that Elio and the others suddenly showed up in my sight. And I panicked and moved as instructed by Akira, who was showing an attitude that didn't even tell me to move.

Corbe gives Akira a rugged look as he heightens his guard over how Elio and the others are doing.

"What happened?

"It's a monster. Get ready."

There has been no such reaction to Corbe's or Bosch's information-gathering equipment. Kolbe, who still knows Akira, moves quickly to prepare for a response. But Bosch and the others did not hide their suspicions as they moved. Peppa sends an obvious gaze of skepticism to Corbe.

"Hey. You believe those kid words?

"You judge by yourself. You can't even make your own decisions, but you're gonna fuck with other people's decisions?

Peppa pounds her tongue in a grumpy manner before attaching to the placement. Bosch laughed bitterly too, then followed Peppa. Neither believed Akira. I believed in Corbe, who judged Akira's words reasonable.

Corbe scolds Levin when he sees him still working on the sorting.

"Levin! How long have you been doing this! Cut it up!"

Levin exhales in disgust.

"Why do you have monsters? You're dating 'cause you say you can make money without ammunition, right?

"Then you're the only one beating the monster. You're wearing fortified clothes for once, aren't you? It's better than life."

"Damn. If this makes a deficit, what am I doing here..."

Levin also began to prepare for a response whining (crushing) dissatisfaction.

Akira and the others are in position. Prepare for enemy assault at the entrance and exit of the room and by the side (buckwheat) of the big hole that was empty (a) on the wall.

The Ellios are in a relatively defensive and easy position with a tense face. I was waiting for Akira to follow the instructions on the goggles while placing the gun from Akira in place of an affordable rubble.

An enemy shadow hidden in the shield was shown permeably on Elio's goggle with a DVTS minigun. Elio pulls the trigger according to the instruction to shoot out every shield. Continuous and resounding shooting signaled the start of the fight.

A large number of bullets are released from the DVTS minigun. There is a hole in the brittle shield, crushing it and crushing the mechanical monsters behind it. Thanks to the fact that the gun rack, also a connecting device with the arm of the motorcycle, held down the recoil, even Elio, who was not wearing fortified clothes, managed to control the DVTS minigun.

But the excitement of crushing enemies with flashy attacks was not enough to scratch (or erase) the fear of action. Elio eats up his teeth, suppresses his fears, and continues his sweep ready.

The other boys have managed to keep shooting the same way. By compensating for the lack of strength with command by Alpha and the quality and quantity of bullets, the Ellios managed to keep their advantage.

Akira had stopped the enemy a short distance from the Elios. Together with the training, without the support of Alpha and without the use of manipulation of physical sensory time, the position of hidden and invisible enemies will be explored with information-gathering equipment, while often aiming at enemy weaknesses and shooting anti-aircraft heavy ammunition.

Slightly climb out of the entrance and exit of the room and continuously fire anti-aircraft heavy ammunition into enemy aircraft like a moveable simple fence with strong armor. Then the opponent stops moving. But Akira doesn't even know if she could really destroy the enemy with it. Shooting a bullet in my head. He filled his armor with holes and kept shooting until he decided he had destroyed enough vital internal engines.

From the side of the armored fuselage that was turned into iron scraps by Akira's attack, a legging-born machine gun rides itself out and starts shooting indiscriminately. Akira quickly pulled herself back and dodged enemy bullets at her leisure. The defensive coat I wear allows me to fight back even while eating some bullets, but I had decided beforehand that I could cut through without a bullet. This is also training.

The situation is almost glued to the point where Akira is pushing it slightly. Akira was aware of the current situation to the extent that she would have been able to destroy it in no time with Alpha's support.

I'm still short on strength. While Akira thought so, at the same time, she realized her own growth, thinking that it would have been difficult to maintain this adhesion if she had been here a while ago.

As Akira gazes across the wall around the enemy area, the head gear reads the motion of its gaze, and the collaborative information-gathering equipment temporarily improves the accuracy of the surrounding information-gathering. Then an enemy invisible to the naked eye was shown in the display area of the head gear.

Akira makes sure that the enemy's muzzle is not facing her and gets on with it quickly. He then continuously fired anti-aircraft heavy ammunition into mechanical monsters like walking machine-guns, deforming and destroying enemy barrels and machine parts to a large extent.

The information-gathering equipment currently used by Akira is fairly high-performance, with only accessories for fortified clothing purchased at a high price. Enough to be able to imitate Alpha support with respect to opponents, etc. However, there was a difference in the quality of cloud mud, such as the distance and precision of the enemy.

Whenever Akira acquired new knowledge, experience, and further equipment and strength, she was aware and more strongly aware of Alpha's remarkable anomalies. That's the same thing this time.

But now I think I'm in battle, and in order to get the extra prying out of my head for now, I switch the direction of the doubt to something that has to do with the current situation.

"Hey Alpha. Where did these guys spring from? It's not like they're around the city, is it?

'Right. It's hard to imagine a group of people moving through the wilderness into a museum. Maybe just one small monster with self-enhancement came in and then added more ingredients scattered around here. "

Akira dislikes to distort her face.

'... Alpha. I guess this question is also a little out of the limit of training on its own, within the support of Alpha, but tell me about the size of the enemy. Forgive me for continuing to defeat an ever-increasing number of enemies. "

'It's okay. It's not a big deal, and there's no sign of reinforcement. If it's dangerous in the first place, just Akira will escape. "

'Right. That's good.'

Akira relieved (mostly) and switched her mind to continue the fight.

The Corbes were also calmly dealing with enemies attacking them from another direction. The enemy possesses the utmost threat of a struggle if he is a runaway hunter. But the Corbes are all quite powerful. There is also a mix of people who have improved their gear with debt. I was dealing with it without a problem.

I am a little surprised to see how Akira and Elio are doing as Peppa battles. Because those who thought it was a gathering of children who could only carry luggage are showing unexpected good luck.

"Hey Corbe. What are those kids?

"He's a member of a legendary prison party."

"The Jailed Party? Hunter's? Drancam is doing a lot of things with the addition of children, but did some inmate even begin to imitate them?

"No, it's the one from Slam Street, even when it comes to the Jailers."

Peppa will check on Akira and the others again. Thanks to Alpha's command, Elio and the others are making quite a move. Akira is moving rather bluntly because she is fighting with restrictions combined with training. As a result, there is no difference between Akira and Elio's movements in isolation. To the extent that only one person has quite a mix of strong ones. There was no such thing as a powerful man to survive aboard an Ezont family stronghold by himself at least.

"Maybe you're even putting training on the kid so he doesn't have to go to the ruins to blunt his arms?

"Later for prying. We're in battle. That's too distracting. Or you can only go to low-difficulty ruins because I'm gone, and you can't return to your loose consciousness?

"Say it."

Peppa laughed and flushed Corbe's mild provocation, while intensifying his attack on the enemy to show off. Several enemy aircraft were destroyed in a short time, turning them into a thousand pieces of flying iron scraps. Corbe also covered with a mild laugh.

Akira and the others continued the fight after that while retaining their advantage. It didn't take long until all the mechanical monsters stopped functioning altogether.

Letters of the end of the battle floated around Elio's goggles, disappearing along with all the other information that was displayed. The Ellios, freed from the tension of battle, show their thoughts. Those who exhale in relief. Those who cheer lightly. who enter the scene. Those who rejoice. A lot.

Elio was exhaling in relief (mostly) with joy as well. And I was happy to survive, confident that I could fight unexpectedly, and when I tried to give myself over to the excitement that had boiled down, I saw Akira and Corbe and the others.

Akira in plain sight. Corbes of attitude to the extent that they have done unwanted troubles. Levine is about to return to sorting items to be taken home as soon as possible. When Elio saw it, he felt as if he had been shown the difference between a hunter and one who was not, and he was struck off most of the excitement that was boiling.

"... Still, winning is winning"

It's no different than the fact that we fought so hard. When Elio reconsidered, he laughed and nodded.

It confirms the remains of a mechanical monster destroyed by Corbe.

"It's not a museum defense device. What the hell are these guys? I didn't hear they were just here to search for the debtors. Speaking of which, what are the Bosches doing here? It's not a carcass, is it?

"Yeah, we just came here to investigate at work. Depending on the results of that investigation, it's like a city coming to burn this place down."

If monsters live on base sites, feed on corpses, etc. and breed to create massive nests, they can't be left on boulders (just as well) on the urban side. Whether we can count on the efforts of the local population or whether we should send troops to ash them in our minds, it is a request for an investigation as a matter of judgment.

Bosch exhales.

"Just look around lightly and it will be gold. That's the kind of easy job I had, but this made it worse if I didn't look into it closely. Corbe, if you're free, why don't you help me?

"No, we're going home. Looks like it's no longer a place to take a kid wandering around, and the debtor search job doesn't include fighting monsters."

"Right. Then we go back to work.... Oh, yeah. We are also being asked to crusade for general purpose because of our work. What about you?"

"No."

"Right. In that case, if we keep this up, the crusade reward won't be our total. If you don't like that, send me the hunter code on that side later. I decided to join along the way, and I'll add it to my crusade request. If it doesn't arrive by the end of the day, it's all ours. Bye. Peppa! Let's go!"

Bosch calls Peppa and walks away. Peppa sounds grumpy at Corbe trying to follow it.

"Bye, hunter collapse!... If you can fight, you have to be motivated."

Corbe was pointing a bitter smile at Peppa as she left with her dislike.

Akira asks somehow.

"Now, what's the relationship?

"Oh, those are the guys I used to work with in hunter operations. Well, it slipped out hard. I annoyed you to the point where you disliked me. That's all. I'm leaving.... Levin! We're leaving! Cut it up! You stay on your own, but you won't wait!

Levin stops the sorting and rushes to start getting ready to take back what he has chosen. Ellio and the others hurried to prepare for their return.

Stopping Tiol from eating a thousand pieces of metal and pointing his gaze at the wall of the room. The gaze was pointing in the direction where Akira and the others had finished the fight. Tiol was firmly aware of the sight of a place that was invisible to the naked eye.

The extended vision has a string floating around describing the situation in a language that is not for human use. Dispatching individual exterminated. Poor battle power disadvantage. Evacuation recommendation. Tiol understood the meaning of the letters and did not distort (boil) his expression slightly.

Tiol points his gaze at another wall in the room. Then point the left arm at the large, arm-shaped cannon that is attached precisely to the left arm. A shell fired along with the roar broke through multiple walls, creating a path that ran all the way outside the hall.

And when Tiol went out of the hall through the way, he ran straight through the garden, and vanished into the wilderness that lay ahead.
