Hiding A Logistics Center In The Apocalypse Chapter 235

Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Episode 235

Side story 6. Blueprint

Bullfight!

The thin membrane vibrated and pushed the fist away.

It feels like the shock is being returned to you in the same way.

“It would have been quite dangerous if we had attacked blindly, right?”

“Yes, my lord.”

Lancelot nodded.

It seems that the knights used Aura to attack the defense barrier a few days ago.

But because the shock came back to me in full force, I ended up having no choice but to leave it alone.

Lancelot slowly rubbed his chin, as if remembering something.

“It feels like······.”

“It feels similar to hierarchy. It’s like attacking someone of a higher rank than me.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what it felt like.”

It was difficult to know exactly to that level.

I can only vaguely guess that he is of a higher rank than me.

It might have been scratched and turned into a blister, but leaving it as is also risky.

I asked the princess.

“You said you checked all the other portals?”

“Yes, that’s right. Access is controlled by the management system······.? This is all that’s left.”

This is a management office that should be used as a base for post-war processing.

It's also a bit unsettling to leave an unidentified portal in the middle of it all.

After much deliberation, we finally decided to strip away the portal hierarchy. The method is······.

“Daichi apparently adopted a useful puppy······.”

It was using someone else's pet dog.

Daichi had a three-headed dog that he had captured from the court. . . .

With a bright smile, Daichi arrived at the management office.

“Mr. Jeonggyeom!”

A young face with a boyish charm.

In contrast, the tattoos that covered his entire body were clearly visible all the way up to his neck.

It meant that the three heads were well sealed inside the body.

“The atmosphere in Japan is not bad these days. The elves and the purification work is in full swing. And······.”

The Japanese Awakeners have been cleaning the sea recently.

At one time, the Yushin Awakening Society seriously polluted the surrounding coastline.

Thanks to that effort, I heard that schools of fish occasionally pass by Busan.

Daichi was rambling on about his recent activities.

As if he just remembered, he asked me with an exclamation of 'Oh, right!'

“By the way······. Why did you call me?”

“I’d like to borrow a dog.”

“Oh, you mean Sam-Sam!”

It looks like they even gave it a name.

Too cute a name for a three-headed monster.

What he needed was to remove the portal's hierarchy barrier.

'You clearly said you could tear down the hierarchy.'

He is the guy who guards the library of the Dimensional Court.

I haven't actually verified it, but according to Buendia, it can tear apart the hierarchy.

Of course, there was one more condition: Daichi had to have tamed the guy.

At that time, he was a guy who had been forcibly captured using Daichi's sealing ability.

“Can you control it?”

“Yes, Samsami is really obedient these days.”

Daichi bragged about his well-raised children.

Then, he confidently called out to the Three Headed Dogs, saying that the hierarchy must be torn down.

“Come out, Samsam!”

“Crewowowowwowwowwowwowwow!”

The three-headed dog, released from its seal, barked fiercely.

I was dizzy because all three heads were barking in turns.

Daichi firmly urged the three-headed dog, who was about to bite, to stop.

“Tch! Then you can’t use it!”

Swaaaaaaah!

Daichi? He sucked the three-headed dog back in.

Then, not even a few seconds later, he took the guy out again.

“Keukkeungkuroaaaakang!”

“Wow!”

It was a repetition of the same process.

'Samsami' continues to bite and Daichi repeatedly seals.

Unlike Daichi, who showed no signs of fatigue due to the results of leveling up and training, the Three Headed Dog quickly grew tired as the seals were repeated.

at last······.

“Kkiing······. Bbit······.”

“Right. You’re pretty, our Samsami.”

'Samsami' raised the white flag first.

'······What does it mean to be obedient?'

The process was somehow successfully controlled.

The three-headed dog began to move according to Daichi's request.

The guy had a serious expression on his face the whole time, but when he reached the front of the guardrail, his expression suddenly changed.

“Kururur······.”

Knock! The guy is on his feet.

Then the head in the middle roughly bit the diaphragm.

Jeeeeing!

The hierarchy resisted fiercely.

The strong waves spread out like ripples.

Until the shock was reflected back to the three-headed dog that attacked.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

The three-headed dog opened its mouth as if in pain, but this time the left head thrust its teeth straight in.

Crack!

Percussion!

The thick legs of the three-headed dog settled on the ground.

Then, the three heads took turns attacking the veil.

Taaang!

Taang.

The shield roughly pushed back the attack, but exposed a gap in the process of reflecting the attack.

I don't know about the first one, but the second and third heads didn't miss that gap.

And finally······.

Ugh!

I heard a sound that seemed to say, 'This is it.'

The tough peritoneum was torn long by the bite of a three-headed dog.

As if that wasn't enough to appease his anger, the three-headed dog twisted its neck from side to side and tore the veil to shreds.

“Alright, Samsam. Come back now!”

Daichi called the three-headed dog.

With a squeak, the guy's form was blown away into dust.

Daichi's body was once again covered in pitch-black tattoos.

and,

“This is······.”

The curtain of hierarchy has been removed.

The hidden portal has finally revealed itself.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out that it wasn't a portal at all.

It was simply a round oval shape, hidden behind a translucent layer of tissue.

'······mirror?'

It was a perfectly flat silver surface.

The edges were swollen due to an unknown wavelength, but no matter how you looked at it, it was nothing more or less than a round full-length mirror.

“Why is there a mirror here······?”

Everyone had a puzzled look on their face.

There is a single mirror placed deep in the management office.

But soon after, I discovered something strange.

“Can’t we see our faces?”

The princess brought her face close to the mirror.

The ruined administrative office was clearly visible, but the princess's figure was nowhere to be seen in the mirror.

It was the same for me, Daichi, Aurel, and the knights of Camelot.

The mirror completely ignored us, as if it were a ghost.

'I guess it's a good thing it's not a portal······.'

That part is positive.

If it had been connected to another higher dimension, there might have been a battle.

It seemed that I would have to take my time and figure out what the mirror was about. But······.

“My lord, my lord!”

Lancelot shouted in an urgent voice.

The knights and Aureol hastily got up, and the princess also reflexively spread her wings.

Their appearance passed through my eyes in an instant.

"······what?"

Shhhhhhh!

They weren't moving.

The person who is moving is none other than me.

It was only then that I realized that the mirror was pulling me towards it.

"for a moment······."

There was no time to respond.

Silver waves just surround me.

Like that, I was sucked helplessly into the mirror.

.

.

.

Wheeee······.

It was a spacious space.

In front of my eyes, the mirror I had just passed was open, like a passageway.

“Everyone must be surprised.”

The mirror contained the group's exact images.

An expression full of shock as I was sucked into the mirror.

But as if time had stopped, their faces were frozen like cold statues.

They won't come to save you.

Outside, time seems to have stopped.

Luckily, the mirror was still open, so it seemed like I could go out whenever I wanted.

“······Shall we take a look around?”

Anyway, everyone is at a standstill.

There is nothing to worry about or keep you waiting for.

Only then did I slowly begin to explore this unknown space that had engulfed me.

“Something feels familiar······. Even the way it’s displayed.”

The first thing I encountered was a square display case.

It was as transparent as glass, but it was difficult to even guess what material it was made of.

As expected, the display case was neatly lined with three-dimensional figures such as spheres, cubes, cylinders, cones, etc., just like the ones we had seen at the <headquarters>.

Swish.

I took out a cube.

Just like the display case, it was made of transparent material, but of course, this time too, I had no idea what it was used for.

'Is this all?'

There was nothing else.

A space where a display case displaying shapes faces a mirror.

Beyond that, there was only a vast, endless void.

There was nothing worth noting······.

'for a moment······.'

Rather, what I felt was a change in myself.

Because a subtle change was detected from the awakening ability that was slowly deteriorating.

"shipment."

Swoosh!

I fired a soccer ball.

A leisurely pace, not too fast.

This time, we shipped an extra basketball, not too late.

Whoosh! Taaang! The basketball that was launched at lightning speed collided with the soccer ball that was already moving ahead.

<Tracking Delivery> successfully applied with speed control.

Two balls each bounced on the empty floor.

It was a precise feat that he had not been able to do in recent times, and it was clear evidence that he had regained control of his abilities.

I stared blankly at the two balls rolling across the white floor.

'······I guess it's a characteristic of this space.'

I had no choice but to judge it that way.

Because there were no other variables other than what came into the mirror.

of course······.

“······It probably doesn’t mean anything.”

If you go back outside, the degeneration will proceed just as before.

It was nice to see my abilities restored, even if only for a little while, but that didn't mean Pax, who had disappeared, had returned.

In this, you can fully demonstrate your abilities, but I have only confirmed that fragmentary fact.

“Should I go out again for now?”

The viewing is over.

I picked up the cube that had fallen on the floor and returned to the front of the display case.

I was thinking of putting the cube back in its original place.

however······.

“Huh?”

The cubes were still displayed in the display case as they had been at first.

As if nothing had happened in the meantime.

As I looked back and forth between the two cubes, the one on display and the one I held in my hand, I was overcome by a strange sense of foreboding.

'this······.'

Empty space and displayed objects.

And that thing is copied infinitely.

It was only then that I realized what the space inside the mirror was.

“······Subspace.”

That was the identity of this place.

***

“My lord!”

“Mr. Jeong-gyeom!”

The group gathered around.

A situation where everything is the same, except that you are surprised by the mirror.

As confirmed inside, time must have stopped outside.

“Are you hurt anywhere, my lord?”

“It’s okay. Nothing happened.”

I looked at the mirror again.

The mirror still turned away from us, containing only cold images of things.

Inside, the desolate landscape of the broken and charred Portal Management Office was clearly reflected.

“······.”

It was just a ruin.

But we had to learn something from these ruins.

Because in the place where the Portal Management Office disappeared, a dimensional station was soon to be built.

But, there was one more thing I wanted to do.

“I thought about it inside.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Lancelot responded to my words.

The other group members also listened to what I said.

My wish was to help them, and by extension, all peoples of the multiverse.

“I should open a supermarket here.”

That was my blueprint.

Creating a new warehouse in the mirror.

So, it was a large-scale relocation plan for Pax FC.
