I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 330

6 days have passed.

The first pace, the referee’s tower, is still in progress.

About 120 towers have fallen so far. It has doubled since the first day.

Humanity’s response is absurd.

Even though all you need to do is block the monsters flowing out of the tower, the prevailing opinion in the world is to attack the tower and safely wait for the next phase like in the United States.

[The Ministry of Defense of Japan announced the attack on Nagoya Tower. “It is separate from the dispatch of the raid squad”… … ][Starting to enter Toronto Tower, Canada. The commander is a certified second-class Henderson, a Canadian hero. Controversy over recruiting members of the attack squad is inevitable.]

The United States took the lead, carrying guns and swearing, so other countries secretly started to try to attack the tower.

The core of these arguments is that they will quickly attack the tower and secure the safety of their own citizens before dispatching a raiding force, which is also absurd. because.

[American sign Hunter Hines, still staying on the 8th floor. Request for 4th troop reinforcement from the Association.][Hines “Now it’s really all over. I can clear it 100%.” Confidence. However, the number of deaths is not disclosed.]

The United States, which was at the forefront of attacking the tower, slipped. Most of the hunters who climbed the tower with Hines were either dead or wounded.

Even now, I should have broken my stubbornness and focus on defense, but it was a problem because too many people died from attacking the tower.

Now, Hines and the U.S. Department of Defense have reached a point where they have to somehow achieve achievements in the tower so that their citizens can be disregarded.

Why do the upper-heads have such a difficult and painful life? In the last days, is prestige so important?

Humanity is at stake right now, so why do we keep trying to plan after Nemesis has passed?

“Top Master!”

Ea appeared from the air.

“This is a report from the secretary. A large-scale anomaly has been observed in the Pacific Ocean by the Overseas Disaster Observation Unit.”

“You’re finally here.”

I stretched out and got up from my seat.

“Let’s go to the second floor.”

“Yeah.”

Currently, the role of the command and control room of the tower is being taken over by Daeseojae. When I went down to the second floor by taking the magic circle elevator, the structure had completely changed.

The bookshelves were attached to the wall and computers, monitors, and communicators were laid out in the space secured. People were frantically beating keyboards or communicating somewhere.

“Are you here? Top lord.”

Jeong Seo-jin in a suit approached and bowed his head.

“Anomalies in the Pacific, right?”

“Yes. The second phase has begun.”

Jeong Jeong-jin spoke with a stiff face.

“Nemesis will come down.”

The Tower of Judgment is just a taste.

This is the real start.

“I’ve prepared the screen, so let’s watch it together.”

I moved to the center of the command and control room following Jeong Jeong-jin’s guidance. The expansive Pacific Ocean can be seen on a large screen reminiscent of a movie theater screen.

The sea was raging violently.

“Observation of magical proton fission reaction! Confirmation of entry into disaster!”

“Coming soon!”

Hearing the shouts of the observers, I widened my eyes.

It was hard to believe even looking at it.

Neither the ground rises nor the island rises. The Pacific Ocean suddenly covered with smooth land.

It is as if the ground was selected and installed from the palette of the editing program.

Then it crackled and the picture quality started to deteriorate.

“All observers are down!”

“Communication disruption is happening!”

I said with a sad smile.

“Please put it on the satellite image.”

After a while, the screen observed from the satellite appeared.

Disappointment erupted everywhere. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a large piece of land that could be called a continent appeared in a hurry.

“Vegetation is growing fast.”

“It’s amazing. We’re seeing small-scale volcanism and ground uplift.”

This new continent that first appeared on Earth was 1.5 times the size of Australia.

Right over there, there is Nemesis, the boss monster of this disaster.

Now, we must send raids from all over the world to advance to that new continent.

And if we eliminate Nemesis, we win. Humanity is completely freed from disaster.

However, no planet has cleared Nemesis so far. I don’t think it will be easy.

Beep Big.

Then I heard a communication sound from the ear mic I was wearing. It was a communication from the Federation.

“Yes, Commander-in-Chief.”

– Commander-in-Chief! Just like the Oracle prophesied, a new continent has appeared!

It was Phil’s voice.

“Yes, I’m watching. Are you ready for the raid?”

-Hmm, there are no major changes in the list I sent you last week. Rather, it was reduced. Some member countries said they were suddenly switching to their own priority system and pulled out more troops… … .

The attack force is currently on standby until the 24th Fleet. The starting points are also different.

Japan, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Mexico, Peru and so on.

The reason the starting point is different is because of the country’s defense policy problem.

And the main force of the Federation is the 1st Fleet departing from Singapore. The power of the Federation and the European Union is concentrated here.

I thought for a moment and said.

“If you enter in a hurry, you can get hit. Nemesis is a clever monster that changes strategy and tactics according to the situation. We will enter at the most certain time after considering the sea conditions and the movement of the monsters.”

– Then you will know. The Federation will also focus on collecting information.

As soon as I finished the call with Phil, another call came. This time, it was Jin-Ra who was preparing at the scene.

“Senior! Are you looking at the sky now?”

“Sky? I’m a horseman now.”

“Come out and see! Everyone’s in a riot!”

Jeong Jeong-jin went outside with her torch and looked up at the sky.

“…what is this?”

In the blue sky, I saw huge numbers written in red.

[8, 121, 295, 018: 7, 000, 000, 000][47:58:12]

Numbers with unknown meaning are not the only ones we can see. As the second phase began, it seemed that those numbers could be seen in the sky all over the world.

‘This was not in the Nemesis of the other world.’

It is not the language of monsters often seen in dungeons or Erendel, but the reason why it is written in Arabic numerals from the Earth.

Perhaps Nemesis wants us to be conscious of that number?

“Jin Seo. What do you think?”

Jeong Seo-jin, who was quietly pensive, opened her mouth.

“Let’s look at it from the top. ‘8.1 billion’ on the right continues to decrease. The ‘7 billion’ on the left is fixed.”

“What does 8.1 billion mean?”

“I think it’s the population.”

I blinked my eyes.

“The world’s population is 8.1 billion?”

“Recent statistics were about 7.3 billion, but if you include those who aren’t estimated in the statistics, it’s probably about that. Disasters have always been sensitive to population numbers. There was a high probability of disasters and cracks happening in places with large populations. And the numbers The reason for the decrease is…”

“You mean there’s a battle going on all over the world, right?”

“Yes.”

I put my hand on my chin and looked up at the sky again.

“Then what is 7 billion?”

“I’m not even sure, but if I use my imagination to guess… … when the number of people on the right decreases to 7 billion, something else may change.”

“Are you saying that the death target number… is the same?”

Jeong Seo-jin let out a bitter laugh.

“It feels bad to think about it, but it’s only speculation.”

“Then what’s the number at the bottom?”

[46: 26: 52]

Over time, the numbers were declining.

“Maybe it’s time.”

Jeong Jeong-jin turned on his smartphone and counted the time.

“From the left, hours, minutes, and seconds. Currently, the international community defines the time it takes for a cesium-133 atom to vibrate 9,192,631,770 times as 1 second, but in that case, 1 second is slightly off. I don’t know if it was an error caused by Nemesis’ unfamiliarity with the Earth’s concept of time, or if it used a different time zone, but it is.”

“…what are you explaining so hard? So you’re just marking the time?”

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I see the numbers go down on a regular basis.”

I crossed my arms.

“Then what will happen when that time is over?”

“…well. Only bad guesses come to mind.”

It’s like a countdown. Do you feel like something big is about to happen when time runs out?

When you become conscious of time, you become mentally agitated and your heart becomes impatient. But even that may be Nemesis’ intention.

‘Advancing into a new continent is not enough no matter how careful you are.’

We entered the tower again.

When I connected to the real-time news on my mobile phone, there was already a debate about the number reflected in the sky.

Beep!

Then I heard the mic’s communication sound. Again, this was a call from Secretary-General Phil.

“Yes, Commander.”

– Commander! You need to come to headquarters for a moment!

“I’ll be there in five minutes.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In principle, the commander of the raid should be at the field or headquarters, but I have a warp gate.

Since it is free from space constraints, it is possible to wander around the site, headquarters, and horse tower at will.

I took the Baro Wharf to the command and control room of the headquarters of the Swiss Federation.

“Oh, Commander-in-Chief! You’ve just arrived.”

Phil rushed out. Even though he was very excited, his body was soaked in sweat.

“What happened?”

“Yes, please look at the screen first.”

Seeing the changed screen, I couldn’t help but frown.

“A lot.”

In the sea, countless underwater monsters were bustling with their upper body exposed. It’s hard to even imagine how many black things there are under the water.

The sky wasn’t too bad either. Winged flying monsters swarmed in swarms.

“This is a satellite image of the sea near the new continent. You have to penetrate monsters of this size to enter the new continent.”

“A lot of people will die before they even arrive.”

Neither the sea nor the sky are good conditions for hunters to fight. There are exceptions like the Lion Fleet and the Sky Castle, but they are only a few. Hunters must rise above the continent to fully utilize their power.

“After the satellite image was exposed, the presidents of the association are already sticking their tongue out. There is no one leaving right now, but the morale is definitely going down. And…”

“?”

“There is one problem.”

Phil turned the screen.

“This is the news of the 7th Fleet departing from Argentina, the Brazilian and Argentine fleets.”

“Ah, those bastards… did you do something else?”

I saw the video Phil had printed out.

Monsters from the sky were pouring down the deck like a swarm and attacking the hunters. The underwater monsters that came up from the sea bit the ship with indiscriminate attacks. Just looking at the video gave me goosebumps.

“The 7th Fleet, which was moving to the gathering place, was attacked by monsters first.”

“……awhile.”

“Why?”

“Can you give me the video back?”

Headquarters staff played the video backwards.

“Yes, stop here.”

The video stopped.

“Please zoom in on the right edge.”

It wasn’t fully captured in the video, but I could see a huge black arm coming out of the air holding the ship.

I clicked my tongue and said.

“It’s a gun barrel.”
