Chapter 159

Episode 159 [ Silo (2) ]

As time passed, people came to their senses.

They closed the hole in the wall, swept up the remaining food, and closed the warehouse.

It was a temporary solution, but there was something more important right now.

Everyone gathered in the conference room on the second floor.

A total of 20 people. A few soldiers and ordinary people. Fortunately, there were no young children in sight.

The number was much smaller than Kyung-hoon expected.

“There is no food and the farms have been destroyed. “What are you going to do now?”

“Do we really have to go outside?”

“Are you crazy?”

“Fuck, we’re all going to die!”

People gathered in the conference room shouted at each other.

“Now, calm down. “This doesn’t solve the problem.”

Although Vanessa tried to calm them down, people’s excitement did not subside easily.

Instead, sparks flew even to Kyung-hoon, who was still.

“This is what happened when that person came! That person needs to be held accountable too!”

A woman shouted, pointing at Kyung-hoon. Kyunghoon tilted his head.

He just came through a portal.

Could it be that when the portal is activated, the monster will notice and attack?

Kyunghoon didn’t understand, but he didn’t refute it.

“Don’t do that. It’s probably not his fault. And maybe we should follow him too.”

Everyone looked at Kyung-hoon as Vanessa spoke.

Kyung-hoon shook his head.

“I have never seen anyone survive in Korea other than me.”

Only now was Kyung-hoon able to give the answer he had been meaning to give to Vanessa.

People looked dejected at Kyung-hoon’s words.

“Then what should we do?”

“Do we really have to go out like this?”

“Or...”

Everyone looked at Dominic.

Dominic shook his head.

“It’s not finished yet. sorry.”

Everyone sighed.

“When on earth will that thing be finished? Honestly, half of the people left here are because of you and that thing!”

A middle-aged man shouted.

Dominic glanced at Vanessa.

Vanessa checked each person with a dark look. She shook her head.

Dominic bowed his head.

“sorry.”

“Then what should we do now? You won’t be able to last even a few days with the remaining food. That farmer, Gilbert, is also dead, so we can’t rebuild the farm. “Are we all going to die?”

Barnetga opened his mouth to a melancholy sound.

“As I said, there is no time. Fortunately, the newcomer is a combat awakener. “I think it would be a good idea for him and a few others to go scout the area.”

The young woman looked at Kyung-hoon and cautiously opened her mouth.

“Can’t we just check on that person?”

But Vanessa shook her head resolutely.

“It’s not possible! “We must go together.”

“Ah...”

What I was saying was that I couldn’t send Kyung-hoon alone.

That was because if I sent Kyung-hoon alone and he disappeared, there

would be no answer. Of course, even if I went out with other people, I could run away alone, but I couldn’t bear to think about that. .Everyone

looked at each other.

“Then there will be about four people who will come out...”

As Vanessa looked at the people as she spoke, everyone turned away from her gaze.

She sighed and continued speaking.

“ “Please support one person with the soldiers.”

The expressions of the three soldiers in the group were distorted. But they could not bear to refuse. The

remaining people all looked at the others. It seemed like they were hoping that each other would step forward.

Dominic raised his hand.

“I am an awakened person, so I will go. ”

Vanessa shook her head at his words,

“No Dominic.”

She sighed again and said,

“I’ll go. It won’t make a difference if you’re moving with a gun anyway.”

Several men tried to come forward after hearing her words, but their lovers and wives next to them stopped them.

The conference room was filled with a dark atmosphere.

***

People parted ways with dark expressions, and only a few people remained in the conference room.

They decided to go outside . It was Dominic who decided to see them off with one of the people.

They went to the armory and got the proper weapons. Rifles and grenade launchers, as well as body armor and camouflage. Vanessa was also well-armed like the soldiers. Vanessa offered weapons to Kyung-hoon as well

. Kyung-hoon shook his head.

They grabbed their weapons and headed upstairs, and Kyung-hoon followed behind with Dominic.

Walking quietly, he asked Dominic a question.

a bit sticky.

But the moment the sword entered the monster’s body, something completely different happened.

All the membranes surrounding the monster’s body disappeared.

The moment Kyung-hoon opened his eyes wide .

Ta-ta-tang!

Bullets tore through the monster’s body.

“What are you doing? Hurry up!”

Dominic, who had fired the gun, shouted at Kyung-hoon.

Kyung-hoon, who had been dazed, came to his senses.

He again ran down with the group to kill the monster. Going down

one floor at a time, the group saved people.

One, two, three. Four people...

When they arrived at the bottom floor where the pattern was drawn, the number of them had increased to 10, including Gyeong-hoon. Thanks to Gyeong-hoon’s efforts, half of them were saved. But the monsters kept coming out. People were shooting at Gyeong-hoon

. They were blocking it from behind, but it was impossible to block them all because they were falling over the railing.

The group did not stop at the bottom floor. They opened the iron door on one side of the square and went down again.

Gyeong-hoon defeated the last monster and closed the door. Fortunately, the monsters didn’t seem to notice that the people had escaped.

Behind the short stairs was a slightly longer passage, and behind it was a rather small basement.

“Is this a place where survival research is conducted?”

Dominic nodded at Kyung-hoon’s words.

Kyung-hoon looked around with a bewildered expression on his face.

Inside the basement, there was a scene that was often seen in science fiction movies.

“There is no way there is a spaceship underground... Is that what I think?”

In the basement, what looked like iron coffins were lying on the floor, connected to machines.

There was glass in the place where the face would be, and there was a place in the open coffin for a person to lie down.

Dominic, who was working hard on the machine, answered Kyung-hoon’s question.

“you’re right. “It is a frozen human preservation machine powered by mana stones.”

“Is it true that the United States has developed this kind of technology?”

Dominic smiled bitterly at Kyung-hoon’s question.

“As you heard earlier, it is unfinished. Although I have conducted a small experiment, I have not yet attempted a defrosting experiment with this completed machine. “I needed a little more time, but...”

Unfortunately, it seemed like time was running out.

It seemed like I had almost gotten the information I wanted. I felt like I didn’t have to keep watching.

Kyung-hoon grabbed the sword and walked down the hallway.

It seemed like the monsters had found the door. After defeating all the monsters, I felt like it was time to talk properly.

Kuehhh.

Monsters appeared at the end of the passage.

Gyeonghoon ran forward one step at a time and began defeating the monsters.

It was then.

Kugugugugugung.

The sound of an iron door coming down was heard from behind.

Kyunghoon turned his head.

A thick iron door at the end of the passage was coming down. It was a thick iron gate, more than 1m thick.

It was Vanessa who lowered the iron gate. She was pressing the switch next to the iron door.

Surprised, Kyung-hoon ran towards him at a fast pace, but he was a little late.

thud!

The iron door closed.

Vanessa opened her mouth with an apologetic face.

“There weren’t enough seats left. I’m so sorry.”

There are 8 coffins on the floor. There are 10 people left. Vanessa was excluding herself and Kyung-hoon.

Kyung-hoon looked at Vanessa with a bewildered expression.

Nothing was going right here at all.

It felt like things were going according to the script.

Kuehhh.

Monsters were coming in one after another.

Suddenly, Kyung-hoon had a question.

Did Dominic do all that research on his own? Did the researcher become an awakened person by chance? Why does everyone believe him?

At the end of his doubts, Kyung-hoon asked one question.

“What exactly are Dominic’s characteristics?”

“It’s a mental connection. It’s about connecting your thoughts with others. Thanks to that, that experiment was possible. His properties allow him and others to maintain their sanity even while frozen.”

The earthworm monsters came right in front of us. Vanessa looked at the monsters with a relaxed face, and Kyung-hoon looked at her face.

Vanessa opened her mouth again.

“His characteristics make everyone who sleeps dream like him.”

Monsters attacked the two people.

Wow!

The world became dark.

***

Gyeonghoon lost consciousness and opened his eyes a long time later.

A large pattern on the high ceiling and floor.

“Are you awake?”

When Kyung-hoon opened his eyes, there was a man in a white researcher’s coat holding out his hand.

It was the same as the sight I had seen some time ago.

Kyung-hoon also held out his tightly clenched fist.

Wow.

Dominic flew away, spraying blood.
