Chapter 376

–

“What is the estimated time of arrival?”

“Expected to be a 20-minute walk.”

“Make sure all life support functions are working properly. “Don’t forget to check the spare oxygen capsules and medical kit.”

“yep!”

Inside a transport ship that landed dozens of kilometers away from its destination.

The 21 pirates checked their equipment one last time before departing.

“The wild animals that live here have fucking thick skin. So penetrating bullets and armor-piercing bullets are the basics. “Replace them all.”

“All right!”

The members of the Hamilton Cartel are all former Megacorp soldiers. Even before becoming a pirate, he participated in several battles. Is that why? The sight of them checking their reinforced clothing and Gauss rifles looked very familiar.

“Power, power suit activated. depart.”

At the command of their leader, Strong Hamilton, 20 pirates activated the bio-helmets they wore on their heads.

This place is like a hellish planet, boiling with high heat. That’s why everyone prepared special reinforced suits mainly used for battles in outer space.

The reinforced clothing worn by pirates is a new product released by the Garmelda family.

Unlike regular mid-level reinforced suits, it completely protects the entire body like a space suit. Not only defense but also strength support functions have been greatly enhanced, allowing operations to be performed even in harsh environments.

The door of the transport opened, and Se-chan got out ahead of him. Pirates wearing thick reinforced clothing followed suit.

“It’s really shitty weather. “Captain.”

“It’s like this no matter where you go on a volcanic planet. “If the helmet comes off, it will fall off, so everyone be careful.”

Contrary to what he told his subordinates, Se-chan did not wear a helmet. Although he was wearing specially designed goggles, most of his face was exposed.

The air outside the transport ship was hot enough to burn the skin of an ordinary human in an instant.

However, it is thanks to his skin that he was able to appear with a bare face. His face, not protected by the goggles, was covered with leather that was as rough and hard as a rock.

Se-chan underwent a gene transfer procedure that only high-ranking members of Megacorp could receive. The scorching heat and toxic air pose no threat to him.

In fact, he casually checked the communication status.

“Vice Captain, can you hear clearly from above?”

「Communication status is smooth. “No problem.”

“Okay. Then move.”

“yes!”

21 people armed with high-tech mechanical equipment started running.

Strangers race through a desolate land covered in fire and ash. The footprints left on the black ground quickly disappeared due to the volcanic ash blowing away with the hot wind.

Since they were running wearing reinforced suits, their speed was surprisingly fast. Every time I took a step, the massive body jumped several meters into the air.

Even while running, my eyes were constantly moving. The purpose was to check whether there were any dangerous elements nearby. Various information related to the surrounding environment was continuously displayed on the visor attached to the helmet to support the user.

「Confirm movement 150m away at 2 o’clock!」

「Confirmed by gas erupting from underground! The movement of living things is not detected.”

“Hey you idiot, are you out of your mind?”

“I’m sorry!”

Ten minutes had passed since departure, but no dangerous elements were found.

Everyone was relieved that they didn’t encounter any enemies, but it wasn’t too cold.

‘...Something is strange.’

Planets with extreme natural environments, such as volcanic planets, ice-type planets, and ocean-type planets, have something in common.

It is a threat not only to the environment but also to native creatures.

As befits monsters adapted to a harsh environment, their physical specifications are enormous and their belligerence is extremely high. So, Se-chan predicted that he would encounter wild animals at least once while traveling to where customer S was.

‘But I didn’t see any living things for 10 minutes.’

To be precise, no ‘living things’ were found during the move.

There was no such thing as seeing an animal moving in the distance or capturing a monster in the sky. There were no traces of predators or traces of animals wandering around.

And now I see that there are more than one leather similar to that.

“The blood hasn’t hardened yet. It hasn’t been long since I took it off.”

“What on earth are these bastards doing?”

“It’s dangerous out here, so let’s get out.”

But contrary to what they said, the two could not leave right away.

A colleague went inside to check the computer. Even when I tried to contact him through the communicator, there was no answer.

“what. “Where did this guy go?”

“Hey?” Answer me.”

All I could hear on the other end of the communicator was silence.

They ran to the spot where their colleague was before he disappeared. Only the computer pad used by a colleague remained in its place.

The size of this facility is not very large. If one of the three disappears, there is no way for the remaining two to know.

There is someone else in here besides them.

Recognizing that fact, the two tightened their grip on the Gauss rifle and guarded their surroundings.

“Captain, the situation here is very shitty. We have to retreat quickly...Captain?」

「Chijijijijijik」

「Damn it! Hey, try contacting the ship.”

“Wrong. “This one is working too.”

Since they were both soldiers, they knew very well how bad the situation was. They turned their backs to each other and slowly moved towards the entrance.

While passing by the corpse skins hanging from the ceiling, something foreign caught the pirate’s eyes.

A human female head lay in a pile of metal fragments. You might wonder if there were a lot of human heads in this place full of corpses, but all the skins here were headless.

Therefore, the head lying alone could not help but be more noticeable. This is especially true if it is the head of a beautiful woman who is presumed to have been quite beautiful when she was alive.

‘Fuck, what kind of crazy bastard would do something like this...’

The woman’s head even had its eyes wide open. It was very eerie because it looked as if it was alive.

At that time, I thought pirates were a bad thing.

The woman’s eyes moved.

“uh?”

Eyes that move slowly as if a camera is turning. When the pirate saw that, he felt the back of his neck becoming wet.

Then the pile of metal began to move. The pirate’s head gradually moved upward as it met the woman’s eyes.

I thought I had placed the severed head on a metal pile, but I was mistaken.

‘It’ was a giant spider with the head of a human woman.

“Where are you going?”

‘It’, which felt no emotions, grotesquely bent its neck and looked down at the pirates.

The moment they saw their comrade in the guy’s hands, they vaguely understood.

Why is there only leather hanging from the ceiling?

However, the pirates, overwhelmed by the sight beyond common sense, were unable to move.

“I needed more muscles and bones to tone my body, and you came to the right place.”

A moment later, a scream came from outside the mysterious structure.

The victims’ deaths were soon buried in the fierce heat.
