Regress and Eat

088 Screening Quest (2)

The whole floor was covered in mud due to artificial rainfall induced by China.

Dew rain sprinkled through the misty waters.

Two aliens walk in the rain as it stands.

Given the weapon and its path, it appears to be guarding the perimeter.

‘Earth is a rank A Awakener. ’

It's consistent with what we've seen in our previous lives.

Strange clothing focuses on the expression of religious laws, identity, and occupational markings rather than the ability to hide and protect the body.

My naked body was revealed everywhere my clothes were not covered. Arms and legs covered in light brown fur have tight muscles.

A head that resembles a buffalo on its shoulder.

I'm reminded of who they are.

The Botanists! ’

Heave!

The wild Adam draws a line in the air.

At the same time, one side of the body collapsed and expanded to red. A trajectory that is close enough to be chased with my own eyes.

His right hand, covered in a dark red crust, strikes an alien forehead that resembles a cow.

Qajik!

The skull crumbles and the face crumbles.

Before the botarc falls to the ground.

Shhh!

My flying sword slashes the head of the man beside it.

Without even proper resistance, both lives were lost at once.

Above the mud, a stream of blood mixed with rainwater blends into a strange color.

Bloop!

Raises the sword to create a flame that burns in the rain.

Burn the corpse with it.

“You don't care about this behavior in the coalition, right? ”

He turns his arms back to normal and nods as if he were annoying.

“If you look carefully at the treaties they enforce, there is only one direction to go. that everything has to be done as intended by the system. ”

“How is it that a human refugee of the Trustee can't be slaughtered, and aliens invading the Earth can be killed? ”

“Precisely divided, the Awakened refugees and the Awakened who have invaded another dimension. ”

An alliance that wants more dimensions to enter the main quest.

Therefore, it was understood that the potential for Awakening was to prevent genocide.

“But killing Awakened would make entry to the main quest more likely? ”

“This way, the system will consider it a situation where the Awakenings are intertwined and killed. I only deal with one of them for a good reason. ”

I couldn't understand it even if I heard it.

“Anyway · · · ·. ”

Adam looked at the green soil he had stepped on and the landscape unfolding around him.

“What are you doing, barging into another dimension? ”

Adam's world doesn't seem to have ever been connected to the dungeons of the Bo 'Tark dimension.

I mean, how many times do you have to tease these guys about their ecosystems?

I nodded, following his gaze.

“I think this is the purpose of the invasion of Earth. ”

Once a small town, the area had changed so clearly that it was hard to find its old form.

Asphalt, sidewalk block and cement are all removed.

Instead, the soils of rust, excreted by giant worms, are spread out.

And on the fertile soil, which is made up of alien intent, there are plants like corn that are gracefully located.

Adam looks at Bo 'Tark and says,

“Apparently he's a herbivore. ”

I confirmed his hunch.

“Look at their size. You have to eat a lot of sheep to move that body. Isn't the tall grass planted here a stock? ”

This is not speculation, but information that has actually been revealed in the future.

Adam listens to me and approaches the plants and looks carefully.

And then he said,

“Oh, right. This class is ridiculously lacking in absorbable nutrients when consumed as compared to the land area it occupies. ”

No, how can you just look at something like that?

I admire it in my gut, but I ask it out loud.

“Is that so?"

In fact, that's what the Botanists have been working on over and over again, shrinking their size and maximizing their inclusive nutrients.

That was the best they could do with their biotechnology.

‘Since the tutorial began much earlier than Earth, there are many Awakened, but technology is far behind. ’

Politics is a dictatorship system on New Year's Day, violent in nature and very favorable.

You can't even imagine trading the skills and resources you need while interacting with the people on Earth.

‘You got off on the wrong foot. · · · · · · No, all pagans cry out that they have to be enslaved or killed. A non-negotiable people. ’

There is only one reason why such Botanists are constantly interested in other dimensions and are attempting to invade.

Food.

Due to the industrial revolution initiated by the tutorial, the population increased dramatically, requiring more food · · and more land to cultivate food to support it.

‘Unfortunately, there are many Awakened. Enough to be a gangster on another level. ’

They showed a great focus, especially on Earth.

The reason was simpler than I thought.

I look at the stock plants of those taller than human height.

‘Photosynthesis is not important for the growth of this plant. The right soil is ready and growing abnormally fast with enough water. ’

In the world of Botany, it produces the majority of its annual food during the rainy season, which is less than a few weeks a year.

‘The farms they've built on Earth will be more of a pilot concept than a real food supply. ’

The dungeon's perimeter collapsed and returned to Earth. The first thing they did was capture the civilians and drive them into one place.

Then he released giant worms, changed the soil properties and planted plant seeds.

To test if you can grow up well in this world.

‘Immediately, the Chinese government sprayed them with man-made bills all month. ’

Satellite optical lenses do not penetrate thick clouds.

While it was aimed at stopping satellite imagery in other countries, its choice led to unexpected situations.

Cooperation of the Chinese Communist Party (?) Thanks to this, the crops at the pilot farm have exploded.

The result was of great interest to the ruler of the Botanics, the High Priest.

‘If I had just let it go, the seeds wouldn't have survived the cold, dry winter in Beijing. If plants don't grow well, aliens might give up and go back to the world. · · ’

Beijing's response to conceal the crisis resulted in aliens taking a deeper interest in the planet.

“Well, shall we go in further? ”

Adam rushed me.

*

Botark's means of communication seemed to be below the level of the Great War of Humankind.

Even if you enter from the outskirts, killing sentries one after the other, their camp remains silent.

Just before arriving at the center.

Adam frowns.

“What, there's more of them than I thought? ”

I threw a fluoroscope over him, too.

The moment I recognized the scene that Adam saw.

I kicked my tongue.

“Damn, that's it? ”

In his past life, the Chinese government ignored the hostages and launched an air raid on them.

“There are more than a thousand people who came here and camped, right? ”

The gate leading to the dungeon will definitely have entry restrictions.

But it is a limitation on the number of people that can remain in the dungeon to any extent.

Assuming a gate connected to the dimension of Botark expands the dungeon repeatedly, there are about 100 people restricted.

The 100 enter the Botark Dimensional Gate, circle the dungeon associated with it, cross the border and enter the dungeon assigned to the Earth before invading Beijing.

From then on, the number of people limit of the gate returns to zero.

And if 100 people enter · · even if they do this 10 times, a thousand people can invade the earth.

‘Let it go like this and there will be more numbers. But we can't just wait for the Chinese government to attack us. ’

Critically, the previous life did not end in an air raid.

Despite experiencing merciless bombings, ambassadors who care more about the planet send more troops to Earth than they did in the first place.

‘Now that I think about it, it's reckless and incomprehensible, but how can I 100% understand the alien way of thinking? ’

The result was a large-scale faction war in China's territory.

The Communist Party's decision to blow up Beijing was an honor to return to victory over China, but it was always just a scar.

At that time, China's tremendous power was one of the causes that later led to its collapse.

“What are you going to do? You just jumped in? ”

I shook my head.

Hostages' lives will be in danger if this becomes an all-out war.

“There are other ways. ”

Decided to hide in here, and one of the few hands I touched in my hand.

I triggered the fluoroscope and looked around.

Soon I noticed what I was looking for.

“Hey.”

I point with my finger to a place.

Increasingly to the heart of the blockade, the human buildings disappeared, and only the farms built by Bo 'Tark and tents used as temporary residences were available.

But in the meantime, some buildings have remained intact.

Mostly low-rise buildings like gyms and exhibition halls. This is used for holding hostages.

But there was only one skyscraper left standing in the rain.

My finger was pointing at it.

“Hmm?"

Adam did not pull out the collarbone this time.

“Can't you see? ”

“It's too far. What's in there? ”

I keep it in mind.

The limit for detecting that strange organ in place of its clear [fluoroscopic] function is about two kilometers.

But apart from that, another ability to detect hidden beings didn't seem to be particularly affectionate on the streets.

I think about it and say it.

“There's quite a lot of them on top of that building, and there's been some unusual behavior. ”

When Adam heard my plan, he raised his mouth.

“Indeed! That's a good idea. ”

We immediately triggered [Stealth] and soared to the top of the building.

While crossing the rainy sky, it was quiet as if no one had noticed the Botar Garrison below.

And...

‘As expected, you're controlling it here. ’

The windows on the top floor are all smashed.

We both looked inside out the window.

One of the most glamorous suits I've ever seen is a Botark, and like escorting him, many ranks of soldiers are waiting with weapons.

Bo 'Tark, the security target, is holding an odd-looking flute.

I identify myself based on information I have read in my past life.

‘That's the priesthood. ’

The dominant class of the Botanists, the priests, were watching from outside the window with their flutes.

Beyond the barricade is the centre of Bo 'Tark Garrison, a prisoner camp, and this building.

And the farm is open, surrounded by encampments.

On the outskirts of the farm, there are successive big and small earthquakes, the building collapses, the ground splits, and a stop operation is underway.

The priest's gaze was on the outskirts of the area.

The sovereign is plowing the ground there.

Giant worm! ’

It turns out that all the worms that Bo 'Tark released on the outskirts are eight.

One time, the priest who was observing him blew a flute at his mouth.

The worms react instantly, though they may not be heard in the human ears. The path of those who have traveled far has twisted and changed.

I looked at when the priests intervened, mostly when the worms were about to leave the barricade, or on the contrary, when they were about to enter the perfectly constructed interior of the farmland.

And every time I play the flute, Mana glitters from my fingers and soaks into the flute.

I keep my eyes peeled for the movement.

Adam whispered to me when we saw him together.

“Strange noises coming from here. Shall we hit?”

“Wait a minute.”

His expression is questionable.

It wasn't until a little while after I said so.

“Now.”

Adam stretches out his palms as if he was waiting.

Beyond the broken window, his fingers aimed at the inside of the building were bent, flaring out at an odd angle.

Dook dook!

The flesh clumps and the capsule is connected between the finger bones and the beak rises from the palm of the hand. And two eyes emerged from the back of the hand joint.

So, the red bird with the wings of the capsule appeared where Adam's right hand was.

His lips open.

“Go.”

Shhhhh!

Birds flap their wings.

His wrist remained blunt, without cuts or sharp edges, where he fell on his thin legs.

Small birds fall at an angle in the cloudy sky that rains fog.

It leaps into the windowless window in an instant.

“ @ # $@ # % # @! ”

Those who find it scream loudly.

“! # $!!! ”

The priest yells with his finger at the bird.

The escorts rush in with weapons, as if to respond.

It's too late.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The red bird lifts its beak and cries in a eerie voice.

At the same time.

Papa Papa Papa Pot!

Bird explodes.

Hundreds of pieces of meat rush towards the top floor of the building, like a thunderstorm.

Fragments of flesh and bone grind inside like Claymore's shotgun.

The weapon is enhanced by Mana's aggregation.

After the explosion, there was no one standing in the building anymore.

“Shall we go in?"

Step over the window frame.

The interior was muddled with traces of an explosive bird, and debris from a Botark corpse torn apart by it.

Ugh!

Debris collects from all sides to reconstruct Adam's hand, as if rewinding the video.

A hole in the concrete wall comes out of the twisted bone, and a flesh through the eye of Priest Bo 'Tark rises into the air.

While he was recovering, I lifted the flute the priest held.

I try to roll Mana in this way. Like I just saw.

At that time, we observe how the worms on the outskirts move.

Adam was interested in seeing me like that.

“Okay, I got it. ”

I made one pattern and blew the flute without fail.

Currrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Immediately, the earthworms who were obsessed with destroying the building on the outskirts suddenly dug the ground and disappeared underground.

The noise is clear and loud here because the speed is too fast and the movement continues in unison.

Below you hear the roar of the botars, bewildered.

I also saw people approaching the building to see if there were any defects.

‘What a waste.’

Let's wait a few seconds.

Boom, boom, boom!

The earth shakes without cause with a thud.

The sound of the ground crumbling sounds much closer than before.

Down below, Bo 'Tark's shouts and screams are in chaos.

Adam looks out the window, his chin curled in one hand.

“Amazing! ”

I look away, too.

There, I saw the worms digging a hole beneath the ground and quickly moving back together again.

Those giant creatures never touched the hostage building or the skyscraper where I am.

The real owner, Bo 'Tark, is tearing up the farmland and garrison tents with great care.
