moving city, ark

No, the pipeline buried in the ground was not affected much from the beginning to the end, but the parts inside the isolation compartment had problems because of Ifrit, or because of the origin stone.

The mechanic who rushed to the isolation cabin dropped the tool bag in his hand.

The transparent hatch, inside lies a sleeping... this brat...

The hatch is curved, and the light green liquid fills the main body of the isolation compartment below, submerging the sleeping Ifrit.

The little guy only had a simple protective suit on his body, and conspicuous black crystals had spread from all parts, refracting colorful light.

You don't need to guess, you know that these origin stone crystals are the culprit for this little guy turning into a little sun.No wonder it can cause issues with devices.

This is the heat released by life and flesh as fuel.If she was brought out without any treatment, she would be completely engulfed by the origin stone with the intense heat in the blink of an eye.

...Is this the ruthless words of that big fireball...

What the hell.

"Open the hatch."

"...The remote control is also malfunctioning. The manual switch is on the top of the isolation cabin, you should be able to see the emergency operation screen, the password is ****"

"Tsk."

The outer wall of the isolated compartment was hot to the touch. It was unknown whether it was because of the Balrog, or the heat inside had penetrated the material of the compartment wall.

The password was correct, the hatch cover slowly lowered towards the bottom, and the calm liquid surface with brilliant brilliance gradually appeared in front of the mechanic without any barrier.

But he dared not relax his nerves.

However, it seems that it will take a while for the hatch cover to be retracted to the bottom...

Letting out a 'huh' breath, he tried his best to calm himself down, and shifted his gaze to other places in the isolation cabin.

Then I noticed a box fixed in the top card slot that I noticed just now when I turned on the manual switch.

Out of curiosity, he took advantage of this moment to open the lid.

Inside were neatly stacked towels, probably for wiping after Ifrit came out, and above the towels, a sticky ball of colorful objects.

However, from the traces of melted plastic products and sugar cubes, he still recognized what it was at a glance.

"..."

"...It was Ifrit who begged me to help her bring it in, saying that after the experiment was over..."

Hemer's words disappeared abruptly at this point, but he probably understood why.

After the experiment is over...

"..."

"Oh, what a troublesome brat..."

The mechanic quietly operated on the screen.

module pause

Take replacement parts, tools, and a different drone from the bag.

After putting the milk stick slightly larger than the No. [-] battery into the card slot inside the drone, the drone lifted off, and an emerald green aperture the size of a washbasin projected down, and then quickly locked his right hand under the control of the mechanic. s position.

This was originally used for emergency treatment of small-scale serious wounds, but now...

The mechanic grinned.

"****, the next thing is, the difference between a man and a man."

……

The originally noisy battlefield fell into strange silence after a period of time.

Hemer in the observation room stared nervously at the mechanic on the screen, his arms protruding into the liquid almost reached his forearms, and the beam of light cast from above moved slightly from time to time.Even though she was watching from above, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat like a mechanic.

Then, she noticed the status monitoring screen on the side.

In the red area, one piece turned into blue, followed by the second...the third piece, which is...

"Homer..."

The mechanic's voice was filled with deep fatigue and slight tremors.

"The test passed! Just close the hatch!"

call……

The hatch cover gradually rises.The prepared raw materials are reacted, mixed, processed, and split in different instruments and pipelines, all the way to the final terminal.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see this troublesome little guy under the liquid surface, and his eyes opened a little.

... who knows.

It was the first time he met such a difficult kid.

第 45

Chapter 45 Battle

"What's wrong, boss?"

Place……

"You have regressed from before."

Headquarters Components Section...

"Since you failed to kill me this time, I will fight back."

Equipment blockade area...

"Don't blink."

ruins.

boom--! !

The debris covered the ground was once again swept up by the shock wave like a meteorite falling, and scattered like shells in all directions.

Broken building materials and equipment, tables, chairs, benches, door panels and cabinets flooded the ground and walls that survived the disaster in the distance again.become the same waste.

In the center of the empty ring-shaped ruins, there is a man in a suit and leather shoes, and under the aftermath of the spell, Vajfan, whose silver hair is flying straight.The broad shield still stands.

"Seriya, it doesn't make sense for you to destroy this place. The data blockade is at the other end, and I won't let you go there."

The governor's tone did not fluctuate in any way, as if the ground under his feet was still intact.

In the open space made of ruins, a conspicuous circle of moderate size was drawn on the General Component Section covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

The data blockade area is located at the other end of the straight-line distance of more than two hundred meters.Not long, but the premise is that this man is not standing here.

……

Until 1 minute ago, the governor was still sitting in his office in the same building, waiting for the results from the Balrog project laboratory.

However, he didn't realize that there seemed to be something wrong until he received the news that Serena suddenly appeared near the component department and pointed at his component department regardless of anyone's obstruction.

Then, the wall of the component section was smashed through.

The special protective building materials did not have any blocking effect. When he, who was standing outside the gate of the component department, also rushed all the way from outside the wall, the result was already obvious.

"Boss, sitting in that comfortable chair, did your brain degenerate along with your body?"

Serena showed a different side from the usual one. On her usual rock-like face, there was a defiant and mocking arc: "You can't convince anyone with your mouth."

The governor was silent for a moment.

"Maybe. But there are still many things in this world that can't be dealt with by only one person or a pair of fists."

"Heh... Your transformation is more thorough than I imagined."

"Aren't you the same? I never thought that you would do this for Ifrit."

The fluctuations of spells are accumulating and boiling with the two people's old-fashioned chats, like two volcanoes that have already burst into bubbles, but no changes can be seen from the outside world.

All other personnel in the component department have been evacuated.Except for the man standing in front of Seraya, the blocking effect that other people can play may not be as good as those walls that can see the outside at a glance.

The scene that broke out next, probably won't be just a greeting as it is now... The two people in the confrontation are very aware of this.

However, the slight sound of approaching made the two of them come to a slight stagnation.

It was the sound of trampling on debris.

What appeared in the sight of the two was a slender and snow-white figure.

The governor narrowed his eyes.

"Ms. Kelsey... Although I don't know how you got here, I don't want to destroy our friendship with your company."

The two standing in front of them were like two human-shaped volcanoes that were about to erupt, but Kelsey's face remained calm.

She has two tablets in her hands.

"I personally suggest that the two of you get some necessary information before starting the fight. This was given to me by a drone when I entered this building. I think you should be familiar with it..."

She lit up one of the tablets and raised the screen facing the two of them.

What appeared in front of the two people who were silent was a face they were really familiar with, the white Li Boli—the white-faced owl who had never shown his face from the beginning to the end.

But the background is more interesting.

It's clearly not a data center in a lab, but...

"The data blockade area...you helped her get in?"

The governor's gaze completely turned to Kelsey.

When Serena made the previous move, he could guess that the equipment and materials in the laboratory must no longer be counted on.The only thing left is the part saved in the component section backup.

That's why Saria came over, and that's why his office was here.

"She was there before I came here. It's not difficult to verify. I only heard that there were a few out-of-control mechanical dogs nearby, which caused some trouble."

Kelsey spoke calmly, and the face on the screen, which also showed no expression, also spoke at this time.

"The Balrog project, with a total of 13274 items of data, has cleared 64% of the data and is expected to be completed in 1 minute and 22 seconds."

"...Mel..."

The governor's whispered soliloquy floated in the air.

rush over?Notify others?Saria, who was opposite him, obviously wouldn't give him the chance to do so.

...It is really an unexpected turn of events.

"Although I don't know how much time and investment Rhine Life has spent on this project, there is also a piece of status data called Ifrit stored on this tablet. But these should be sent to Here it is."

Kelly continued,

"According to my personal medical knowledge, without the support of relevant equipment, a patient whose ore disease has progressed to this level can already be sentenced to death."

"...Even if Rhine Life can save her, the cost of starting the whole project from scratch may be many times higher than her current value."

"……and,"

Kyle Heat paused for a moment, and then continued blankly, "It also needs to be established under the condition that your company's main experimental group can continue to operate."

"..."

"Hey, Boss, the gap between your appearance and my impression is getting bigger and bigger."

But the man just kept silent.

Kelsey closed the tablet in her hand and replaced it with another one.

"This is the purpose of Tower of Babel's coming to Rhine Life Laboratory to purchase equipment. I explained some of the basic pharmacology and manufacturing processes above. As the general manager of Rhine Life Laboratory, I think you should have no problem understanding these."

While speaking, she stepped forward and handed the tablet in her hand to the silent chief governor.

The fluorescence of the screen flashed across the man's face, reflecting characters and words in those pupils.

"...Inhibin..."

"...This kind of thing will not be prepared as easily as it is written."

Just like everyone knows how nuclear fusion works, but few countries can actually create nuclear weapons.
