An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse - Chapter 74



Food shortage (3)

“under···.”

Standing on top of a building overlooking Yunggeolreung, a man is breathing a deep sigh.

The man’s true identity is the Mars branch manager. Yoo In-seop.

– Branch manager. The 1st werewolf unit is scattered after receiving near-annihilation damage and heading to Dongtan Fortress.

30 minutes later.

– Branch manager. The 2nd group vampire troops were wiped out, and once the iron man and Arachne encountered each other.

Shortly after pushing the eastern front, the Mars branch manager felt a pounding in his head at the report.

Even so, the annihilation of the vampire troops. All of the elite units are the aces of the aces, made up of rarity.

The fact that such a unit suffered damage close to destruction by one person in less than an hour means that the ability of a once-strong man is beyond imagination.

Staying here longer will only cause you to lose your strength.

It was embarrassing, but it was unavoidable.

“Retreat all troops to Dongtan Fortress now.”

“All right. But what about Arachne, the branch manager?”

“Leave it alone, it will give us time to retreat.”

“All right.”

At the command of the Mars branch manager, the movements of the subordinate Villains began to become busy.

“Ha… It’s a goal hit, really.”

Annoyance welled up in the branch manager.

The elite unit, created by investing all the essence of massacre obtained so far, was destroyed.

Besides, it’s not an ordinary Arachne.

You must also give the strengthened Arachne.

Just to give you time to retreat to safety.

A situation where you can’t help but be annoyed.

After seeing the last of his subordinates retreat to Dongtan Fortress, the branch manager’s gaze turned to Arachne.

The gazes of the red Arachne and the black Arachne mixed in the air, as if blood were all over her body.

-Keah!

-Keah!

Monsters charging at each other at the same time screaming.

The first to attack was the black Arachne.

Its sharp paws stabbed the red Arachne’s skin.

bang!

There was a sound of metal colliding with metal and it bounced.

The red Arachne then counterattacked.

bang!

As expected, the forepaw bounces off without leaving any scars due to the hard skin.

An ongoing battle of sieges.

That time when each other continues to attack meaninglessly.

hooked!

The moment when the black Arachne’s nerves are all focused on the red Arachne.

A sphere flew from afar and penetrated the black Arachne’s eyes and entered her head.

Wow!

A black Arachne writhing in pain.

That wasn’t the end.

Roaring!

The sphere began to burn, burning Arachne’s head.

-Keah!

After the final scream, the black Arachne shuddered and began to scatter as ashes from its head.

“You monster.”

The Mars branch manager muttered after seeing Arachne die.

I thought that if it was a strengthened Arachne, it would take some time, but it died in less than 5 minutes.

“This is a different story.”

Gangnam Sachaewang was like that.

Iron man once chose a production job.

If you do well in the beginning, you can catch it.

however…

Where do you look at that, is it a production job?

Without moving a single step from the seat.

Killed Arachne with a single attack.

I heard from my subordinates that I can move the sphere freely, but I didn’t expect it to be that fast.

“It’s telekinesis…”

this is so scam

The thing that moves the sphere as fast as a bullet.

not even visible

“under…”

The Mars branch manager sighed and took out the book of return from his inventory and tore it up.

A red portal appeared in front of me.

The next place is Dongtan Fortress.

The Mars branch manager disappeared through a portal.

***

[Arachne is dead.]

[The reward has arrived.]

A message popped up in front of my eyes.

“Commander. Arachne… dead.”

After checking the message, the adjutant said to the commander.

“Are you an iron man?”

“Yes, Commander. I have been contacted by an officer who witnessed the battle.”

Hearing the adjutant’s continued report, the commander couldn’t believe it at all.

Arachne was impervious to bullets and shelling.

The clever guy who ran away to the other side when Muhyul, the only countermeasure, appeared. The number of soldiers lost because of him was too many to count.

To think that such a clever and strong guy was eliminated within 5 minutes of starting the battle with a once iron man…

My son Muhyul did that.

Once upon a time, an iron man would come and Arachne would disappear without a trace.

He nodded, but the commander didn’t believe it. I don’t know if it’s 1:1 with Arachne.

There were always villains around him.

Because if I was at a disadvantage, I quickly ran away.

Judging from how he got rid of Arachne in just five minutes, his son was right.

‘perhaps···. Mars may be restored.’

The commander’s heart raced.

“Where is the iron man now?”

“I was informed that it was at Yunggeolneung.”

“Then let’s go.”

“Yes, Commander.”

***

[You have obtained the Arachne card.]

Myuy picked up the card that had fallen on the floor and hovered over my head, scattering light powder.

Not too long ago, I used a tank and even a grenade to kill him, but he definitely got stronger when he saw him fall out of a sphere.

I wanted to keep watching the battle between Arachne and Arachne, but if I did, all the enemies would run away.

‘Hey, transform into fog and follow me.’

Also to remove the runaway smallfish.

I also want to see the fortress of Dongtan Station.

So I chased after the enemy at high speed.

40 minutes later.

The bloody mist that rose thickly in the distance came into my field of vision.

‘no way···.’

I gave up chasing the villain and went up to the roof of a nearby high-rise apartment building to look around.

The bloody fog that started at Dongtan Station was encroaching on the surroundings at a rapid pace.

“driving me crazy.”

I used my insightful eye to examine the fog.

*Death Fog (Awakening)

[Rating]: Legendary.

[Classification]:Virus-Haze.

[Description]: An ultimate Villain-only item that can only be used in the Hall of Slaughter or City Hall and creates a bloody fog within a radius of 5km.

[function]:

– Remaining time: 72 hours.

– Grant various buffs to Villains.

– Grant various buffs to zombies.

-Blood explodes when other beings enter.

-When using the Essence of Massacre, the retention time is increased.

Fog of Death is a Mercury item exclusive to Villains.

To awaken the mist, you need 30,000 Essence of Slaughter, and you need a huge amount of Essence of Slaughter to extend the holding time.

‘It’s only the 10th day of the end.’

Coming out now means that the top ranker intervened.

It is either ‘Gangnam Branch Manager’ or ‘Suwon-chan’.

Whatever it was, I wrote it now.

I must be waiting for someone to stop me.

‘It must be Suwon-chan.’

Because Mars and Suwon are in contact.

Fortunately, it is used in Dongtan and does not reach Yunggeolneung and the Marine Corps Headquarters.

“Hey, transform into Arachne, take care of your surroundings, eliminate all the creeping villains, and if there’s any danger, just scatter into the mist, okay?”

At my words, Black transformed into Arachne and started patrolling around the fog of death, and I walked toward Yunggeolneung.

Currently, the level of the ‘Hope’ Dome, which is a combination of Hwasan and Osan, is level 2 and 1, and it takes quite a bit of time to merge the 2nd level dome.

‘I have plenty of time…’

The problem is the Tower of the End.

Just as there is a Tower of Salvation for the Awakened.

Villains also have the Tower of the End.

The fact that the Mars branch manager has the fog of death means that the villains are already supporting him.

In the end, in order to destroy the Dongtan Fortress before ‘Suwon-chan’ joins them, they need an item to enter the fog of death.

From noble mtl dot com.

To do so, you need Hyla’s Tears.

Hylar’s Tears is an antiviral, providing protection against all types of viruses for 1 hour.

‘It sounds like I have to go to District 2.’

Hyla is a medicinal material that can only be found in District 2, and can be made from Hyla’s tears using alchemy.

After thinking about this and that, I arrived at Yunggeolneung.

“The commander is waiting for you.”

As soon as I arrived at the gate, a soldier came out and escorted me to the meeting room of Yunggeolneung City Hall.

In front of the conference room, a man in his late 50s who looked like a commander was sitting, with a major general and a brigadier general sitting on his left and right.

“Sit over here.”

The soldier led me to the seat facing the commander.

When I arrived, the commanders and generals rose from their seats.

“Thank you for saving the city of Hwaseong.”

The generals along with the commander thanked me.

“I just did what I had to do.”

“Then please sit down.”

As soon as I sat down, everyone’s eyes turned to me.

There was silence in the conference room for a moment.

It was the commander who broke the gloom.

“Could I ask you a straight-forward question?”

“yes.”

“Can you help us restore Mars?”

The commander’s expression was quite serious.

There was earnestness in his voice.

I was honestly surprised.

Since the country is in danger, I thought they would force me to order something like an emergency.

“yes. Okay.”

After I finished my answer, a sigh of relief leaked out from all over the conference hall.

“Thank you.”

“Of course it has to be done. Commander, may I ask you a question?”

“Please.”

“First of all, I am curious about the exact number of people registered with Yunggeolneung and the Marine Corps Command.”

As the commander beckoned, the general I saw at Yunggeolneung a while ago stood up.

“There are 231 ordinary people and 293 soldiers registered in Yunggeolneung.”

It was a much smaller number than I thought.

As the general sat down, the adjutant next to the commander opened his mouth.

“Moohyul knows exactly what the Navy Command is. Just wait a moment and he will come.”

After a while.

The conference room door opened and Moo-hyul entered.

“brother!”

“uh. Merciless.”

“Why are you here so late?”

“Sorry, I have some work to do.”

“How hard I’ve been all this time…”

Tears welled up in Moo-hyul’s eyes as he sighed.

It seemed to be very difficult.

In fact, Muhyul was the only one who could deal with Arachne, so he probably couldn’t sleep properly.

I patted Muhyul on the shoulder.

“I’m fine now. Because my brother is here.”

Moo-hyul’s eyes, wiping away tears and smiling, turned to the commander.

“Dad, why did you call me?”

“Cheolman-nim is curious about the number of people registered with the Marine Corps Command.”

The merciless gaze turned to me again.

He must have been the commander’s son.

“Brother, there are 950 civilians and 50 soldiers registered in the fortress, and 253 civilians and 832 soldiers unregistered.”

“okay.”

Even if the population of the two forts were combined, it would not be more than 3,000.

“Do you have enough food?”

As soon as I finished my words, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became heavy.

“There are about 1,000 left.”

The major, who was sitting next to the commander, said weakly.

‘no wonder···.’

When I said that there was no hope in the faces of the people at Yunggeolreung, there was a shortage of food.

Again, there was only one solution.

“No mercy.”

“Yes, bro.”

“Did you receive the scenario strategy reward?”

As the domes of Mars and Osan merge into one, the progress of the scenario follows Osan, but I asked because the scenario I had already received did not disappear.

“yes. I came in.”

“Did you win first place?”

“of course!”

I was worried that if I caught Arachne, the first place would become vacant, but fortunately, Moo-hyul was accepted.

1st place reward is the Wonder Building. However, only one Wonder Building can be built in the world.

Of course, there is no way he will remain until now, so there is only one reward for Moo-hyul.

“Did you get it as a reward point?”

“Yes, there are no wonder buildings left. So I got 30,000 points.”

That’s enough.

I checked the ranks of the Sema Station Fortress Achievement Shop.

‘5,000 points are not enough.’

If Muhyul buys something from the Sema Station manager’s shop, the achievement shop’s grade will be level 3 and will sell items that will solve the food problem for the time being.

“No mercy. Can I sell some points to my brother to help him solve the food problem?”

“Can you solve the food problem?”

“uh. It costs a lot of coins, but you can get food to last for at least two weeks.”

At my words that the food problem could be solved for the time being, cheers erupted from all over the conference hall.

“Then you have to give it. To trade points, you need to buy a trading voucher, but that opens in the 3rd level of the Achievement Shop.”

“If you spend only 5,000 points at Sema Station Fortress, you’ll get to level 3, so don’t worry.”

Apologize to the Commander.

I headed to the fortress of Sema Station with Moo-hyul.
