Chapter 385
The first thing I did when I got home to Gallagon was move the mountain crawler.
It wasn’t that difficult to load a guy as tall as 100m onto the Gigacracker.
Although the Gigacracker is a super weapon, its root is a mining ship. There is a large gate used to load minerals. The Mountain Crawler was moved by modifying the eroded ship to fit the size of the gate and then docking it.
Management was left to Coldblood and Mini Screamers. In fact, there was nothing to call it management. All I had to do was transfer minerals to the giga cracker and feed them whenever needed.
After moving the mountain crawler, I asked the kids to bring me a few things I needed. This was because they would not stop by Aadhai’s nest and would go straight to the Megacorp colony.
And the first one that brought what I said was PS-111.
“I brought you MPS-05.”
He put down the mini screamer he was holding in front of my body.
[Zuzuzuzu (It’s been a long time)]
“Go! Go!”
MPS-05, a small screamer with a female face and eight metal legs, raised one leg and greeted me.
This cute mini screamer is a model specialized for disrupting and connecting communications. It will be useful when attacking Megacorp research facilities.
‘It was quite helpful when I infiltrated Berzan 02 before.’
MPS-05 worked its legs diligently and crawled up onto my body, which was connected to the ship.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess I’ll have to try transplanting the newly acquired traits later.’
‘Warp Creature’ was not the only trait gained from eating the Metallic Gremlin. I was also able to secure ‘Radio Interference’, the ingredient for ‘Hijacking’, which was a great help to my survival for a long time.
Combining the radio interference and ‘dexterity’ traits results in a hijacking trait that allows you to control a machine for a short period of time. It would be a great help to port this to the new Mini Screamer.
‘Or should I just give it to PS-111?’
By using the ‘Double Helix Monolith’ obtained as a space monster type level 2 reward, you can pass on up to 2 characteristics to him. I already transplanted one trait to him before, so now there is one more left.
‘I gave them stealth maneuvers.’
Among the creatures received from the slave trader in Berzan 02 was ‘Snow Banshee’. It is a silent predator that leaves almost no traces even when walking through the snow. The result of this characteristic of Snow Banshee is ‘stealthy maneuver’.
I, who already possessed this trait, handed it over to PS-111 before feasting on Snow Banshee.
Stealth Maneuver is a feature that reduces body weight while maintaining defense. It can be said to be an appropriate trait for a guy who is next to me in infiltration-related activities. In fact, the guy who received the trait was quite satisfied.
If you learn hijacking from here, you will become a specialist in infiltration and information warfare.
‘There is no need for radio interference anyway.’
The importance of radio interference has decreased since the acquisition of the ‘dark curtain’ that can nullify the detection system. Hijacking, which not only disables the machine but also controls it, is still useful, but is not really necessary in the presence of PS-111.
‘Well, I’ll think about the details later.’
After PS-111 came to me with a mini screamer, the others returned to my boat shortly after.
“Big adult” “Food” “I brought it”
“It’s baby food that babies eat!”
“It’s amazing that it looks like a mushroom and tastes like this.”
“That’s right.”
The four who came down to Adhaj’s nest poured out the things they had brought in front of me. Plants that looked like pieces of oyster mushrooms were piled up like a mountain.
That’s a plant that grows around gallagon nests. I’ve had it once before.
‘It tasted like canned apricots with the taste of almond milk.’
It looks strange when you look at the combination, but it was more edible than I thought.
「Big adult」「Why」「Young kin」「Food」「Eat?」
Adhai tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand. As he said, that is a plant that blue gallagons mainly eat. The plant itself has a lot of water and is very nutritious, so it is used as a staple food for young gallagons.
At that time, number 26 next to me raised its tentacle as if he knew.
“I know! Are you trying to sperm? sperm!”
“It’s not sperm, it’s storage. “Please pay attention to your pronunciation.”
[Zzzzzzzzzzzzz (That’s right, I’m trying to save it)]
Fortunately, this encounter with a group of metallic gremlins went well. However, there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. The side effects of ‘starvation’ should not interfere with behavior and thinking.
So I asked them to gather food for me to eat whenever I was hungry.
‘Well, I’m not the only one who eats it.’
I looked at the Heavenly Mother who had gone with the children to look for food. Assembling her griffon form, she took a bite of a plant fragment.
“Do you think it would be okay to cook and eat this? “It’s not poisonous.”
“There’s actually a soup made using mushrooms that look similar to these.”
「Really?」
“I’ll try making it later when I get a chance.”
Gryphon and Mutant Screamer, who still had a relatively large amount of human spirit left, were discussing how to make food taste good.
“….”
Behind the two who were chatting amicably, Se-chan was seen eating food hungrily. The guy who survived on only a few calorie bars before arriving had lost a lot of weight.
Being infected with parasites does not mean that you have escaped human limitations. If you don’t eat, you will starve to death.
‘He knows very well about LV-06, the place I’m trying to go.’
You must keep them alive as much as possible until they arrive.
「Then, I will bring more baby food to save.」
「People」「Support」「Food」「Move」「Please」
[Z(Yes)]
「I will go and come back too.」
“Me too.”
“I hope you have a good trip.”
After that, the kids went back and forth a few more times, and there was enough food in the boat to last for about a week. It takes about 5 days at most to get to LV-06, so I guess this is enough.
‘Then let’s go.’
After confirming that each child was in their desired spot inside the boat, I prepared for faster-than-light sailing. As the ship surrounding me was engulfed in blue light, the group of metallic gremlins staying nearby also began to move in the same way.
‘Originally I thought about not taking him.’
To intelligent beings who have entered space, metallic gremlins are no different from the grim reaper. When we enter the star system with them, everyone will only focus on that silver cloud. In the meantime, I can disguise myself as a ship and land safely on the colony.
After a while, a strong pressure hit the outer wall of the ship, which was covered with living tissue.
A realm that transcends light and space guides me. I flew towards a star system far away from here with my new friends, number 26.
–
Megacorp officially designated colony LV-06.
Every colony in Megacorp is operated according to specific goals.
Some have human resources as their main commodity, while others have as their main goal the mining of planetary resources. The same goes for LV-06, located in the N-51 star system.
The main product of this colony is entertainment.
LV-06’s owner, the Prime Capital Zhao family, uses the planet as an entertainment filming location. Most of the buildings built on the planet, as well as the humans who live within them, can all be considered sets created for entertainment purposes.
As a result, the fate of the colonists depends on what kind of entertainment the owner wants to create. Things like dropping a bomb on someone’s head to film a war story, or forcing them to actually kill their family for a realistic drama.
LV-06 is where all kinds of unethical acts take place in order to provide enjoyment to consumers.
However, the place that was a living hell not long ago has become quite quiet recently.
Ever since Li Zhao, governor of LV-06 and director of the Entertainment Resource Improvement Research Institute, returned to Mars about a week ago, the entire planet has been in disarray.
Is that all it is? Not long after the civil war ended, a sudden announcement by Megacorp’s CEO created a subtle atmosphere among the colony’s administrators.
“Here’s the next news. There is a response from within Noble Capital that they are considering the ‘temporary federal promotion theory’ proposed by CEO Akira Yujin in a positive direction. If this comes to fruition, relations with Star Union and the Cult Empire will improve…”
“Yes. There is nothing unusual in the lab. yes. yes. “We will keep an eye on it.”
An office decorated with luxurious furniture.
A man was talking on the phone with his eyes fixed on the news broadcast from the hologram device on his desk.
“yes? If you say construction, it was buried underground 10 days ago… Oh, no! What a puke! Absolutely not!”
As if something was wrong, the man got up and lowered his head to the terminal.
“I will check and post a report right away! Governor Li Zhao. then.”
Eventually, the man, acting governor, looked at the terminal where communication had ended and sighed softly.
“Whew, I have to check the security of the lab, and check on unnecessary underground construction… Tsk, I’m not good at sleeping today either.”
The acting governor clicked his tongue and turned his attention to the holographic news.
「Star Union decided to share information about Outspacer special entities as a truce gift, and Megacorp responded….」
“Ha. “No matter how scary Outspacer is, there’s a truce with those crazy tin bastards… huh?”
He fell silent when he suddenly saw a red message appear on the news.
“Metallic Gremlin appears in the N-51 star system… What?!”
As soon as he understood the message, the acting governor’s complexion turned pale. He urgently began tapping on the computer next to the hologram device.
“Metallic Gremlin! “That’s also on a large scale?”
The acting governor was on the verge of turning away due to the completely unexpected situation.
As long as he is on the planet, he will never be attacked by metallic gremlins. Because they can’t fly in a planet’s atmosphere.
But that doesn’t mean you can be reassured. Communication satellites installed outside the planet, fleets that monitor the star system, etc. are not safe. If anything goes wrong with them, it’s all his fault.
After a while, the entire defense fleet stationed in the colony was dispatched to exterminate the Metallic Gremlin group. A star system map was output from the holographic device, and the movements of the fleet were displayed.
Triangle-shaped marks from colonies and space fortresses move as if surrounding the X-shaped mark. In a few minutes it will collide with the X-Mark.
‘please…!’
Just as I was praying for the incident to end with minimal damage, an abnormal phenomenon occurred in the hologram.
The X mark indicating a group of metallic gremlins suddenly disappeared.
“uh? “Why is this like this?”
While he was panicking, wondering if the enemy had disturbed the detection system, a new report came to him.
‘Confirmation of leaving the group? what? Did you really run away?’
I couldn’t believe it even after receiving the report, so I even contacted the defense fleet directly using a communicator. The answer was the same.
“ha ha ha.”
Only when he was sure that the crisis was over did he relax and sink into his chair.
‘I guess I should have a drink.’
Although Li Zhao had asked me to do something, I felt like I couldn’t write a proper report in this mood.
As I was about to leave the office, the personal communicator in my pocket rang. He checked the communicator and frowned slightly.
“Huh, when did this guy get here?”
The person who sent him the message is a business partner he has known for quite some time.
‘I was just about to have a drink.’
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to receive entertainment from the other person. He thought for a moment and then activated the communicator.
“Is it strong? Didn’t you say you were busy with a recent transaction?”
He left the office, talking to someone somewhere on this planet.
