Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 154. Eradicating Plague (2)

Urf, along with the other six people, guided the sun crew cautiously, vigilantly around the sandbar.

“You must not leave a trace. This is humanity’s last hope.”

“… … I think they should care more than us.”

The place where I arrived after being wary of the keys for a long time was a huge underground shelter.

Gee ying.

The iron gate, which seemed to be 3m high, was opened and a large living space appeared.

An underground space where about 300 people are busily wandering around just by looking at it roughly right away.

Even the state of the infrastructure is quite good, it seems like you are in a future space that is presented as a movie on Earth.

It’s amazing to think that the outside is on the brink of destruction.

At the same time as the huge door opened, countless people looked at the sun.

The mana waves that felt like one were rat tails.

The state of physical development that made me cringe because I couldn’t eat well.

Let alone a fight, even if you sit still, you look like you will do it tomorrow.

“Now I have to formally greet you, warrior. May I ask your name? Oh, my name is Urf.”

“Ah, I am Yoon Tae-yang.”

Urf continued with a brief explanation of his world.

The host, which the natives say, has characteristics similar to the monsters known to Earthlings as zombies.

Infection if bitten.

They have no reason and act only with destructive desire or appetite.

Physical attacks are almost impervious unless the level is high enough to shatter the body.

The problem is that this monster is not a basic zombie, but a zombie that would appear in a monster story.

By way of strengthening a part of the body or having psychic powers.

In other words, these so-called hosts were stronger than any creature the natives had ever seen.

“So from one day, those ‘hosts’ suddenly appeared, and in order to counter them, put the host data into the supercomputer and create a weapon against them?”

“yes. It was a biological weapon.”

Urf’s expression was not good.

-It’s kind of obvious.

-Imitate a zombie – > Birth another zombie variant – > Stronger than the original zombie – > Life or death.

“What we developed was a biological suit, to be exact.”

“Bio suit?”

“We were researchers residing in the fort, but we originally had combat personnel on our side as well. We called them knights. Like the hero, they were boxes that could stand against the host with the power of the body.”

They thought to fight against them by wearing the biological suits given by the researchers and narrowing the body level gap with the host through the strengthening effect.

And unfortunately, things went as expected by viewers.

The knights wearing biosuits were infected.

“… … We call them the second host.”

“If it’s the second host.”

“yes. These are the monsters we just encountered.”

Salomon, who had been listening, interrupted.

“Did those so-called hosts suddenly appear?”

profit.

Salomon asked, lighting a cigar.

“yes. Really at some point… … He said. The first recorded discovery was near the sea adjacent to the fort, but probably not the original origin. Hosts have a habit of migrating overland rather than waterways.”

When Urf and other researchers first discovered the host, it was likely already advanced enough to emerge from the sea.

“Who is the researcher who developed the host biological suit weapon?”

Maybe it’s because he’s in the mood to point out one of his colleagues as the culprit.

Urf was startled.

But Salomon’s question was valid.

If this host plague was not a natural occurrence, there was a possibility that it was something artificial.

Above all, this dimension where the sun party fell is the dimension that Purkas has been working on to some extent for the invasion of the dimension.

It is said that there is a possibility that the plague was the work of Purkas.

At some point, the host plague circulated without the natives knowing its origin.

Frankly, it was more difficult not to suspect Purkas.

Urf muttered for a long time, but soon opened his mouth as the sun and his party looked at him stubbornly.

“Dead. Specifically, he committed suicide. The researcher who developed the biological suit, so the research director was the wife of a knight.”

The wearer of the biological suit developed for the first time became the first 2nd host, and the researcher who saw her husband who had become the host put a gun to my temple and pulled the trigger.

-Uh…

-Suddenly, Tallulah… -You

can apologize within 3 seconds.

-What’s going on?

Urf seemed to be the younger brother of the research director who committed suicide.

However, the department was completely different from the director of the research institute, so he said that he could not intervene in the director’s research at all.

“… … Sorry. It’s not a good memory.”

“Still, to defeat the plague and restore the fortress… … There’s nothing you can do about it.”

“So you guys can’t stand against the host on your own?”

“You can fight against it. However, the difference in durability is too great to fight all-out.”

The sun nodded, looking at the skin-to-bone features of the natives.

Hundreds of people live underground, and food supply was not smooth.

Messiah asked Urf.

“They call us warriors.”

“yes.”

Urf looked at the floor and hesitated.

If Urf’s older sister was a researcher related to bio-weapons engineering, Urf was a researcher who researched transportation and warp gates using mana.

“The 10th generation supercomputer in the center of the fort was not used, but fortunately there was a 3rd generation supercomputer that was destroyed in the vicinity. Based on the computer’s computing unit…”

“Ah, that’s the explanation.”

To summarize Urf’s words, it is a third-generation supercomputer, and he created a machine that searches for and spatially transfers intelligent life that ‘has more than a certain amount of power’.

Of course, there was no common creature that could deal with the host based on mana distribution or intensity.

Even by Urf’s standards, it was an absurd experiment.

It is an experiment at the level of literally begging the sky for a miracle, with the success rate converging to zero.

Even the intelligent lifeforms summoned in that way had no reason to help them.

But it worked.

several times too.

They even assisted the natives in disposing of their hosts.

“There were people who came before us?”

“yes. Although it failed… … .”

“What about those who failed?”

“… … dead.”

The Taeyang party exchanged glances with each other.

– Purkasne.

-Looks like the devil sent it?

-yep.

– I guess I should be suspicious of him too. It might be the demon lord.

-Really.

Ran asked.

“So what can we do?”

“… … The first thing I would like to ask is… … It’s a food problem. There is a warehouse with a large stock of food in the fort.”

please be the first

It is a story that there are not just one or two things to ask for.

Urf seemed to be ashamed, but he couldn’t lift his gaze from the ground.

Salomon tilted his head.

“Considering the frequency of the monsters we encountered on the way, aren’t a few of them worth moving?”

“The closer you get to the fortress, the more hosts there are. The cause has not been revealed to us yet, but the biosuit production process has been entered into the supercomputer.”

“So you’re still making host production kits in the heart of that fortress?”

“… … yes. In addition, when no one uses the biosuit produced, the supercomputer judges itself and develops artificial lifeforms to wear biosuits and wears them.”

-The supercomputer is the host body.

– The source of plague. super computer?

– Probably right.

“Artificial lifeforms wearing biological suits are the 3rd host.”

After hearing Urf’s explanation, Taeyang scratched his head.

“So you’re saying there’s a 1st host, 2nd host and 3rd host?”

“yes. As for the average power, you can think of the 2nd host as the strongest, and the 3rd host as a downgraded version of the 2nd host.”

“Who is the first host?”

“… … Depends on the object. Because it is a naturally occurring object, its abilities vary greatly. Perhaps the most powerful instances are in the primary host. However, there are definitely weak individuals, so you can see that their average ability is slightly below that of the 2nd host.”

“The variable is the highest for those who are the first host. Is there any way to tell them apart?”

Urf nodded at the words of the sun.

“The second host has a human appearance and parts of its body are overdeveloped. It’s part of the biological suit. arms and legs, etc. The 3rd host looks like the 2nd, but is smaller. It looks the same as the second host, but you can think of it as a child’s body.”

“A child.”

Ran frowned, as if hearing the words was terrible.

“And the first host… … It was also based on a human figure, but the mutated figure is more primitive.”

primitive.

I thought I knew what it felt like.

There was something like an iron core embedded in the second host’s right arm.

I felt like I could feel something artificial.

“The last thing you want to ask of us is to destroy the supercomputer in the center of the city?”

Urf was startled by Messiah’s words and waved his hand.

“no! Destroy! The 10th generation supercomputer is humanity’s last hope.”

“Hope?”

“Although it malfunctioned briefly, a 10th generation supercomputer is essential to restore our world to its original level of civilization. All you need to do is secure a database stored on a supercomputer. Besides, it will be much easier to fix errors than to destroy them. The 10th generation supercomputer has a strong defense mechanism… … If you do it wrong, there will be a massive explosion that will blow up the entire fortress.”

Ran asked Taeyang in a small voice.

“Is a 10th generation supercomputer the goal of Purkas?”

“I told you to eradicate the source of the plague. Just look at the words… … .”

“Even if you destroy the machine, you can just reassemble it.”

“but. that’s right Actually, the most important thing in a machine is the blueprint.”

The world of Urf certainly seemed to be a civilization with overwhelming technological advances.

Listening to what they say, even though they received help from Purkas, it seems to be true that they connected the dimensional labyrinth and their own dimension instantly.

But nothing was certain yet.

It is forbidden to jump to conclusions.

Especially since it’s a strategy against a powerful being like the devil.

“Just take out the database and we’ll be able to find the answer to the plague through other, lower-generation supercomputers.”

To be honest, at this point Urf felt shameless.

– Why do you think I saw this somewhere?

-Isn’t it a typical development of an rpg game? Did you name your slave a warrior?

– Warrior. I’m hungry, so cook me some rice. Oh, of course, meat side dishes are basic.

-No hahaha I wonder if it’s the order to treat the warrior first, even if it’s a delicious meal hahaha.

– That’s why you’re in such a hurry~.

– Lol lol.

The sun looked around.

The natives of the dimension who regard the sun group as their last hope.

Perhaps because of repeated failures, there are also concerns and doubts in the eyes.

-… … It might seem a bit pitiful.

-This isn’t poverty porn, it’s actually like this.

– ㄹㅇ What are the sins of the children born there?

Hoo-wook.

Salomon exhaled smoke and murmured.

“… … In fact, these guys are also in a pitiful position. Because of Purkas’ dimensional invasion, they’re getting hit and runnin’.”

Taeyang pondered for a moment.

And soon decided.

“For now, let’s sweep that place called the food warehouse.”
