Hiding a Logistics Center in the Apocalypse – Part 22
(Into the Darkness (2))
An inner wall connected to a castle wall.
As I entered through the entrance, a dark, quaint corridor came into view.
Pillars lined up everywhere.
Since it was not an area that could be passed by car, the number of people allowed to use it was first placed in a subspace.
My younger sister, Kim Sol, who had barrier abilities, stood in the vanguard, and I followed behind, with my older sister in the middle.
So the three of us, each holding a portable searchlight, slowly made our way through the darkness.
The interior was eerily quiet.
The corridor extending in front of my eyes did not seem very deep, but at the end of it, there was another corridor connected to the left and right.
To put it simply, it was a two-way street…
It wasn't time to worry yet.
"ah!"
Kim Sol, who was leading the way, touched the back of her neck.
and···
Ssak!
A moving shadow was captured.
But no matter how hard I waved my searchlight, I could find nothing but a corridor surrounded by thick pillars and a dark silence.
When the older sister shined the light on the nape of the younger sister Kim Sol's neck, two teeth marks were clearly visible.
Kim Sol-i ran wild for a long time.
“What, did you get bitten?”
“Just wait a minute.”
When I put my older sister's hand on it, the wound quickly healed with a soft light.
“Ah… it tickles.”
Kim Sol scratched the back of her neck and made an annoyed summer day expression.
Ssak!
I heard the thing moving again, so I shipped the goods without delay.
It was a studio light installed in Korando.
Wow!
The dark and damp corridor was now illuminated by the bright sunlight.
Then···
Their bodies came into view, along with the shadows of the distant leaning pillars.
Two sharp fangs, and bat wings.
We couldn't help but think of a very classic race that appears in fantasy worlds.
“···Vampire?”
.
.
.
“Oh, why does it itch so much?”
“Hold on a little longer, you little one.”
Fortunately, Kim Sol did not follow the vampire clichés, such as her eyes changing color and showing signs of distress, or suddenly craving blood.
Rather, thanks to my older sister's healing ability, even the remaining wounds had completely disappeared.
There was actually a separate problem.
Ssak!
Sasa sasa sak!
months!
That there wasn't just one guy.
There were a dozen or so vampires perched on each pillar of the corridor.
months!
Ssak!
One flew in and caught my attention, then another one came closer and aimed for the nape of my neck.
As I tried to snatch the one that approached me, a new one appeared and left a tooth mark on my arm before turning away.
Of course, thanks to my older sister's heels, it didn't feel that threatening.
But even so, the blood that had been taken away was not regenerated, so I quickly felt dizzy.
Sasa sak!
Ssak!
Ridiculously fast speed.
There was hardly any opportunity to counter the attack.
Tudadadadadada!
I took out my rifle and shot, but most of them missed, and even if I did hit a few times, it didn't do any damage like the skeleton knights before.
It certainly seemed to be a higher-ranking species than the bats that lived outside.
It would be effective if it was a bowling ball +1 with the [Penetration] option, but even if you shoot at a speed of 150 km/h with auto-tracking, it would be difficult to keep up with their speed.
just···
Kwaaang!
It only hits the pillars of the poor hallway.
By this point, one thing had become clear.

The fact that my younger sister Kim Sol was the best restaurant among us.
Ssak!
The vampire rushed in…
Taang!
Kim Sol chased the guy away with her fist that was wrapped around the barrier.
Ssack!
bang!
They created a strange summer day ecosystem, as if they were playing catch with each other.
And the vampires···
Booo …
Whenever I forgot, I heard the creepy sound of wings flapping in my ears.
“Oh, this is seriously fu*king annoying!?”
Kim Sol swung her fist.
A woman swinging her fist at a mosquito.
That was my older sister.
She complained as if she had been wronged.
“Why do you keep picking on me?”
“Could it be because I’m sweating?”
“I’m dying, Kim Jeong-gyeom.”
A warm feeling gradually began to creep in.
A corridor that feels impregnable.
There was no way right now.
If you can't catch it, you have no choice but to avoid it.
We opened a portal like a mosquito net and returned straight into the subspace.
Ting! Ting!
Vampires hovered around the portal like mosquitoes caught in a net.
With a messy flapping sound.
***
“It’s difficult···”
The situation is such that a proper exit has not even been found yet.
It was obvious how tiring the journey ahead would be if we were continuously exposed to vampire attacks.
After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision.
I decided to use the reinforcement stone I obtained by hunting the second skeleton knight.
At first I was thinking about strengthening the rifle.
However, the rifle only served to fire bullets and was not an object that directly hit the enemy.
Even if the [Penetration] option was added to the rifle, it was unknown whether the effect would be applied to the bullets.
That doesn't mean···
“···It’s a bit too much to use on bullets.”
Originally, a rifle was designed to fire a bullet by striking the primer in the cartridge.
It sounds like it's causing some sort of small explosion, and if the [Electrify] option were to be activated at this point, an unprecedented situation could occur where I, who was holding the rifle, would die first.
The reason I used a fire attribute strengthening stone with [Ignition] attached to a bowling ball instead of a rifle was the same.
so···
What did you choose?
This is a simulated virtual space in a laboratory.
Pax floated a hologram of the product I ordered into the air.
[Electric pest mosquito repellent extra large IA-ic200, price is 59,000 won.]
Wooooow-
A mysterious object wrapped in a soft blue light.
It was a tower-shaped insect repellent with rounded corners.
“It sounds kind of plausible.”
This is an item that was carefully selected.
Because it was difficult for any object to hit them at an attack speed of 150 km/h.
They say offense is the best defense, but defense is also the best defense in itself.
I don't know what you're talking about, but that's it.
Last summer, I thought of our beloved Adidas mosquitoes and Tinkerbell friends flying over our screens.
Knock! Knock!
A thrilling item that makes our flying friends even hotter during the hot summer.
I was planning to use the strengthening stone I got yesterday on that item.
[Reinforcement Stone (D)]
Attribute: Electric
Options: [Penetration], [Electrification]
Anyway, this one too was given the [Penetration] option.
It would be a threatening tool even against vampires that are immune to rifles.
I planned to leave the corridor with this trap around me like a shield or barrier.
Pax asked.
[Would you like to use a strengthening stone for this product?]
“Okay, apply it.”
[All right.]
[You received one reinforcement stone.]
[Applying reinforcement···]
[Reinforcement completed.]
Support-support!
Taaak!
A terrifying sound was heard from the insect trap.
I didn't even want to imagine what would happen if I even touched it with my fingertips.
But there was something else that was truly interesting.
It was the item description that the system window displayed.
—-
[Electric Pest Mosquito Repeller Extra Large IA-ic200 +1]
Grade: [Rare]
Description: [Failed to load information. You can enter your own description.]
Attribute: [Electric]
Options: [Penetration], [Electrification], [Taunt]
—-
The only options originally attached to the reinforcement stone were [Penetration] and [Electrification].
But there was one thing added.
“···Provocation?”
It usually refers to the ability to draw enemy aggro.
To lure them into a better striking position, or to trap them.
In other words···
“That’s what a trapper does···?”
The reinforced mosquito repellent still emitted a soft blue light.
A captivating light to attract flies.
It depended on the enhanced options.
“That means···”
There was no need to use the trap as a shield, nor was there any need to 'launch' the trap at the vampire.
Because it wasn't meant to be used like that in the first place.
In other words···
All I had to do was just leave it outside.
***
Taaak!
Exactly!
The sound of beans roasting in the electric fire could be heard through the portal.
The [Provocation] option was definitely working on the vampires.
Tata dadadadadadadak!
“Oh, looks like one of them got caught for real.”
It was a trap that was made by manipulating the holograms of the <laboratory> and connecting dozens of them one by one.
Each had a large-capacity power bank connected for camping.
and···
“These kids are all gone.”
Our Mrs. Kim Sol went out carrying a club.
It was a weapon I created using the <Laboratory>.
—-
[Electric Pest Mosquito Repeller Extra Large IA-ic200 + Wooden Baseball Bat]
Grade: [Semi-Rare]
Description: [Failed to load information. You can enter your own description.]
Attribute: [Electric]
Options: [Penetrate (-1)], [Electrify (-1)], [Taunt (-1)]
—-
The blue coil-wound baseball bat had a modern yet anachronistic design that crossed paths between a fusion-punk lightsaber and a savage tribal chieftain's wooden bat.
Actually, to tell you the truth…
'···It's just an electric fly swatter.'
Compared to the reinforced trap, the performance itself has declined.
The +1 mark disappeared, the grade was downgraded to semi-rare, and a minus tag was added to the options.
It seems that the original power was weakened when combining the strengthened item with other objects.
But anyway, the word 'penetration' was attached.
In other words···
puck!
Phew!
It meant that Mrs. Kim Sol was strong enough to defeat the flying vampire.
Back-to-back home runs.
But it wasn't enough to handle the vampire's bite, as the 'infestation bat' broke with each strike.
Kim Sol didn't care.
He just showed off his slow pace and reached out his hand to me.
I have newly shipped the 'Insect Bat' registered as a product.
puck!
Bam!
In this way, the summer retreat in the corridor ended successfully.
It was a national human victory.
.
.
.
Steaming corpses of vampires, roasted in an electric fire.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any reinforcement stones, but I was able to get some magic stones.
Then, we felt an unfamiliar presence.
It wasn't a vampire.
If that were the case, I wouldn't have been able to help but run towards it when I saw the soft blue light.
The older sister opened her mouth slightly.
“···Ghost?”
Something whitish moved between the pillars of the corridor.
Three… four… that number wasn't small.
But a bigger change has occurred.
Kookookookookook!
All the structures that made up the stone walls, pillars, and corridors began to shake.
As if it were a living being.
The arched corridors resembled the maw of a giant monster, and crucially, the spiral staircases snaked up and down like sawtooth.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The floor shook like trembling gravel.
The stairs that had pierced through the upper and lower levels crashed into each other and rushed toward us.
The appearance is like···
'···Teeth?'
The structure of the castle was so fierce that it seemed as if it would eat us up at any moment.
For several days, I felt like I had been thrown into a pen of starving animals.
Of course, it didn't have to be that way.
I used <Product Recovery> to enter the portal with my two older sisters.
Then, I slowly looked at the outside situation while looking at the portal that had become a safe window.
Dddddddddddddd!
If you were to go into a shredder with meshing iron teeth, would this be what you would see?
But since it was a subspace portal that could not be destroyed by any impact, we could only watch in real time as the piles of rocks were shuffled around.
But one thing was certain.
That we are moving somewhere.
At that moment, the corpse of a dead vampire was seen floating away along with a pile of rocks in the landscape.
A strange fortress that uses its stairs like teeth.
If the bastard's goal is to eat everyone…
Our destination would be at the end of the bastard's metabolic process.
