Chapter 173: Coming now (4)
Chun Yeowun’s body in a Nano suit crossed the sky. The speed of flying, spouting white magnetic particles, was close to Mach 13. It would have been impossible if it had been just by his own power, but a suit made of Gaterium Nano particles made it overcome the air resistance.
Information and visuals of outside were displayed simultaneously on the inner side of the Nano suit so Chun Yeowun can see. He was now flying toward a city surrounded by the Gate Wall, with the magnificent Tae Mountain behind.
It was Taean City. Before coming of the the Gate, Taean was famous as a tourist city thanks to the sacred Tae Mountain, and was now only acting as a small town because it was blocked by a Gate Wall. Beyond Tae Mountain, the barrier was visible from afar.
‘Nano, hide me.’
[Activating reverse panel shield.]
As reverse panel shields were applied to Nano suits, the suits became transparent.
‘Deactivate the magnetic particles. I will fly myself.’
[Yes, Master.]
The magnetic field particles that were sprayed from the foot stopped. Chun Yeowun pulledup his energy and changed the way he flew to Air Sword. Last time, he had been detected by Defense Department because of being caught in the infrared camera network while crossing the Gate Wall. Chun Yeowun was annoyed by this and learned lessons from it to quietly cross the Wall.
[Crossing the Gate wall in… 50 meters, 30 meters, 10 meters.]
Chun Yeowun passed over the top of the wall. There were concerns, but with the technology of this era, the camera could not detect the reflection of the reverse panel.
It was the same time at an abandoned building in the northeast of Taean City
There were numerous monitors inside an underground room, and they were showing underground tunnels on screen. The tunnels were which underground express trains ran.
The images on the monitor were hacked and transmitted by surveillance cameras installed in tunnels, and there was a man in his 40s wearing a white lab coat who was closely monitoring them.
He felt somewhat nervous, tapping his finger on the table and couldn’t take eyes off the tunnel connected to Jenam City. The red letters “All travel prohibited.” were blinking on the front panel of the tunnel. Man in a ab coat sighed.
‘Maybe I am paranoid. The Gate s open and the tunnel to Jenam City isn’t even running. What am I worried about?’
He looked at the broken old cell phone he had placed on one side of the table. This man was the man behind the machinated voice of the mysterious organization that Chun Yeowun was talking to.
‘I don’t know what I’m doing.
He came to the surveillance camera room because a word ‘I’m coming now’ was on his mind. But it was foolish to think about it. Although Taean City is close from Jenam City, it took 40 minutes by underground express train. However, the suspension of the service due to the Gate Warning made it impossible from coming into the city.
“Doctor Suh.”
Someone opened the door in the monitor room and called him. A man in his late thirties dressed in gray suits with all-white hair walked in.
“As you said, we’ve sent all the information to the head office and formatted and deleted all the stored data.”
A man called Doctor Suh stood up.
“Good job. Discarded the papers too?”
“We incinerated it all. Once they’ve loaded the vehicle with not disposable research specimens, we’re ready to pull out.”
“Okay. All we need to do is format the monitor room then. Let me know when you’re ready.”
The ordered Doctor Suh tried to sit in front of the monitor again. But the man with all-back hair came close to the monitor roo.
“Doctor Suh. We still have a month before we move our base. Is it okay to do this without the approval of the head office?”
He prepared to withdraw because of the order, but did not welcome the idea. Even if it was the judgment of the person in charge, all those who belonged there could have been sanctioned if they were to move freely without the approval of the head office.
“Just in case.”
Doctor Suh spoke in nervous look, and the man asked back.
“Is that because of the target?”
“We’re preparing for all possible outcome.”
A man of all-back sighed at Doctor Suh’s words.
“Even if the gate is closed due to the capture of an Alpha Dangerous Entity, it will take at least two or three days for the Warning to be lifted. We won’t be late even if we wait for the approval of the headquarters.”
“It’s up to me to decide.”
“…You don’t trust our security.”
The all-back-haired man was the head of security protecting Doctor Suh. He just couldn’t understand Doctor Suh’s nervousness in front of him like that. Doctor Suh turned his head and said to him.
“You also have seen the video.”
He also saw a video from Jenam City. Two videos, which was only 2 percent transmitted, was 10 seconds, and 8 seconds. The first video was of Chun Yeowun using Bullet Force Qi in hundreds of ice words.
“…It was godly power.”
He had no choice but to admit it. He, too, had goose bumps all over while watching the video.
Doctor Suh said, biting his lips.
“Do you know why I have a long career in this field? That’s because I have keen sense. If there’s any danger, you have to be prepared for it. That is my job.”
“Protecting you is also the job of the head of security. And we have manuals for dealing with monsters like that.”
At the hard voice of the security chief, Doctor Suh shut his mouth. It was because he recognized that the man’s pride had been hurt.
‘Ugh… these machos…’
Even though he now was working as a title of “Security Officer,” Doctor Suh knew that he was also experienced with several battles, including the Gate Defense War. These people trusted only their own experience before what was to come. Doctor Suh, who judged that no further mixing of words would agree, spoke to him.
“You must get ready. My decision to moving the base will not change.”
With a stubborn attitude, the security chief sighed once again and replied.
“Yes, si…”
At that moment, they felt the vibration in the building. To be exact, it was not the vibrations of the building itself. Doctor Suh immediately turned around and saw surveillance camera footage installed outside the abandoned building.
‘!!!’
