Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 539

closed area (1)

“There have been cases where thousands of people have been slaughtered without any indication.”

A conference room located at the inner gateway of the Kurvas Dam. said Keegan, who projected a hologram on the wall.

“As a result of investigating the cause of death, it was confirmed that all showed the same high fever, seizures and confusion. I realized that the strong exposure phenomenon was the cause.”

A map of the central district of Balkan, a megalopolis projected through a hologram.

“The area where the exposure occurred is Area 25. It is the first area designated as a closed area along with District 19.”

“Are you saying that the Kurvas Dam was built to prevent radiation exposure in Area 25?”

Keegan nodded at Felix’s question.

“The phenomenon of exposure to magic particles is difficult to detect, and it takes a long time to recognize the seriousness of it as it accumulates and accumulates in the body.”

“… … .”

“However, if the water resources of the 20th District are concentrated, it is also possible to dilute it to a level that is harmless to the human body.”

“… … That’s a dangerous story.”

Felix said with a tired expression.

“If this fact is known, the Central Council will not be safe either.”

Keegan nodded to Felix’s words.

“If this is disclosed to the outside world, some city council members may have to step down. But that’s all.”

“… … .”

“Decades have passed, and now the interests surrounding the Kurvas Dam are so complicated that we don’t know who to hold accountable for.”

Even if this problem is announced to the outside, who will say to stop this huge multi-purpose gravity dam and solve the problem of the closed area?

Stopping the dam to briefly check for exposure-related issues will shut down half of the water supply facilities in the 20th zone.

The financial loss that occurs in the meantime must be truly astronomical.

No one wants to step forward knowing that fact, nor want to take responsibility.

Especially because I know that this huge city has a mountain of problems that have festered and rotted like that.

“The academic community has concluded that it is virtually impossible to artificially generate exposure to magical particles.”

Illya, who had been quietly listening to the explanation, continued.

“Magic particles, which supply stable and efficient power to life, require enormous investment to disintegrate or annihilate.”

“… … .”

“Even if the decomposition process is exposed for a long time, it is difficult to harm the human body due to exposure to magic particles… … . To think that such a phenomenon has been going on for decades on this scale.”

Illya’s eyes shone sharply as she looked at Keegan.

“What kind of experiments have you been conducting in Area 25?”

“… … Back to the point. The problem is that in recent months, the phenomenon of exposure to magic particles has been getting stronger.”

“… … ”

said Keegan, looking around with a slightly stiff face.

“If this continues, it would not be strange if harmful particles were leaked to all water facilities in the 20th district.”

The direct flow of exposed particles, which are highly harmful to the extent that dilution is impossible through the water of the dam, directly into the water supply of the 20th zone.

The human casualties and financial damages that will occur through the process are difficult to dare to measure in terms of scale and figures.

“The upper part believes that there is a high possibility that a runaway occurred at the particle power plant located in the deepest part of District 25.”

Keacon continued.

“So you will aim to enter the closed area, find the power plant, and remove the cause of the exacerbation.”

“Where is the specific location of the power plant?”

Immediately upon Felix’s question, Keegan had his attendants distribute something.

A blurry distorted satellite image. It is difficult to recognize the shape because the image quality is severely blurry due to how old and old the data of the photo is.

“This is a picture taken by an elemental satellite right before Area 25 was designated as a closed area.”

“The quality is terrible… … .”

“Fortunately, Mr. Kyeon-roe here seems to be able to detect the level of exposure to magic particles to some extent, so there shouldn’t be much difficulty in finding the way.”

“If I hadn’t recruited Mr. Ban, the difficulty of this task would have been much higher.”

At Illya’s sharp point, Keegan laughed bitterly, unable to refute.

“Isn’t it really surprising that the presence or absence of a mage determines the success or failure of an operation like this?”

“… … .”

In fact, Ilya shut his mouth at the most reasonable refutation.

To be honest, it was self-evident that even if Ilya and Felix’s strength and values ​​were combined, it would be difficult to catch up with just one Lennok.

high-ranking superintendent. Among them, everyone here understood the value of a wizard who completed and surpassed the hierarchy with pure magic.

“There must be more that need explanation.”

“yes?”

Lennok’s sunken gaze turned to Keegan.

“The location of the dam is District 22. The closed area is Area 25. Even if you go straight from a nearby place, it is difficult to break through due to the barriers blocking the area.”

“… … .”

“According to Lucinda’s words, the time for the biometric code to be alive and functioning is at most one hour. We spent about 20 minutes traveling and briefing, so we should be in front of the entrance to the closed area within 30 minutes.”

Lennok knocked on the table without waiting for Keegan’s answer.

“Considering the word ‘shoot up’ you said earlier, it seems that you want a method of ejecting and falling over an enclosed area… … . Then, before that, we have to reach the launch pad or the ejection port.”

Only Lennok’s voice echoed in the quiet conference room.

“The fact that we haven’t told you yet means that there are hidden circumstances or secrets in the location or function of the launch pad itself.”

“… … A high mage’s intuition is truly remarkable. Did you already understand that?”

At the same time as Keegan smiled and snapped his fingers, the attendants began stacking military equipment beside the table.

Clack, clap!!

Suits and gas masks similar to those worn by others, as well as firearms and mechanical equipment, communication devices and accessories.

Keegan said in front of the attendants who quickly divided and distributed equipment that appeared to be screen transmitters, location tracking devices, and communicators in front of the four people.

“What I am about to tell you is something that should be kept strictly confidential. That’s why I’m telling you this last.”

The moment Felix hesitated, Keegan’s face hardened.

“In the closed area… … There are survivors still alive.”

“… … A survivor?”

“We don’t know who they are or what purpose they serve, but there are certain traces of their survival.”

Keegan lowered his voice and whispered quietly.

“And in the Senate, for some reason, there are members of Congress who periodically send out food boats for them.”

“… … .”

“At this point, it’s the only way to get something into the lockdown. Other methods are administratively, physically, and technically inaccessible.”

After listening to Lennok’s words and Keegan’s explanation, everyone finally fully understood the operation.

Board the food relief boat, recognize the biometric code on the barrier of the closed area, and enter.

We need to find the particle power plant inside the area and remove the cause of the exposure phenomenon.

While the others fell silent at the difficulty of the absurd operation, Keegan started hooking up the screen transmitter.

“The Kurvas Dam’s underground evacuation route is connected to classified military facilities, including an island where a food aid launch pad is located.”

“… … .”

“In order to activate the relief line, the soldiers guarding the launch pad must be occupied and penetrated simultaneously from four directions.”

Finally, Keegan, who attached Lennok’s transmitter directly to his chest, spoke.

“Operate the four different instrument panels at the same timing to activate the launch pad and get on the relief boat.”

That strange gaze, half of an old man and half of a young man, stared quietly into Lennok’s eyes.

“I will take responsibility for all the clean-up of the work.”

* * *

The conference room where the four superhumans left.

In the space where dozens of attendants still remained, there was a tense silence.

The sound of swallowing saliva, resounding heartbeat, and regular beeps are mixed together to create a strange melody.

Beep, beep, beep… … .

Amidst the beeping, someone quietly asked.

“Would it be okay?”

“What do you mean?”

One of the attendants was staring at the wall of the conference room with a worried expression on his face.

“Apart from the other three, there is a circumstance that in the case of Kyeon-ro, he has recently been seriously injured.”

“… … .”

“I heard that it would be difficult to move around without a life support system, but the conditions are not too bad for this operation… … .”

No matter how powerful and great superhumans the high-ranking wizards are, they too will eventually die when their brains and hearts fail.

Even a sorcerer who demonstrates great value and talent in other areas than combat ability, in the end, cannot avoid acting alone in such a special operation.

An underground evacuation route leading to the island where the food aid launch pad exists. The senator’s private soldiers guarding the road.

It’s not just about dealing with them.

“Considering the environment of the evacuation route, we need to have an attendant who can fight even now follow.”

Underground evacuation routes are strong against external shocks, but are quite weak against internal shocks.

It wouldn’t be strange if, in a cramped and dark passageway, he used high-powered magic or techniques excessively, the passageway collapsed in its entirety and he was buried alive dozens of meters underground.

In the end, you have to reach your destination using enough magic power, sophisticated skills, and strong physical strength that won’t damage the passageway.

In this aspect, isn’t Kyeon-rok a superman who is in fact placed in completely opposite conditions?

It is an extreme situation in which it is difficult to guarantee success even if many-on-one battles are repeated endlessly through the manifestation of one’s own fighting ability and local scale magic.

Even if he is a magician who has accumulated an unrealistic record in the dark, can he demonstrate his skills in conditions and environments that suppress his abilities to this extent?

But before Keegan could answer, he turned his head toward the wall the other attendants were looking at.

“… … Azlan didn’t say anything about it.”

“… … .”

“The other team members also had no comment on the safety of the dog. It’s none of our business to intervene.”

Each of the four screens that floated on the wall of the conference room moved quickly, and deafening sounds of gunfire and explosions began to resonate in succession.

Kwaaaaang!!

The four screens land on the ground at almost the same time and run at different speeds.

The movement of attacking the island where the food relief ship is located and the missile launch pad located in the center from four different directions.

= How could an outsider infiltrate this far… … !!

= They are criminals trying to invade the closed area, subdue them immediately!!

Tatatatatatang!!

As the area of ​​the island is not small, the number of soldiers guarding the four directions toward the launchpad easily exceeds hundreds in each direction.

As much as they protect the secret area directly related to the closed area, all the soldiers are magic users at a considerable level.

Not to mention the support of firearms, they are not at all afraid of close combat using magical powers and rush at them without hesitation.

The four-pronged supermen’s transmitter screen gradually increases its shaking prior to the full-scale battle.

That fleeting moment when the other attendants were watching with a tense look.

[Before boarding the relief boat, there is one fact I want to check briefly.]

Lennox’s calm voice echoed through the conference room.

[I heard that the purpose of the food aid ship is for survivors who may be alive in the closed area.]

“… … .”

[But the senators I know are not so benevolent or compassionate. Rather, I wonder if it is to hide the real purpose by putting up such a justification.]

“… … It is a fact that has been verified through various circumstances that there are survivors in the closed area.”

[okay?]

Lennok laughed.

[That situation is, Manager Grimes. Is it because you are a survivor of the closed area?]

“… … !!”

Keegan didn’t answer, but it was inevitable that the faces of the other attendants who were assisting him would turn pale.

[An unusual appearance with a mixture of youth and aging. It was too heterogeneous to be a natural constitution or a chronic disease. It looked very close to a man-made disaster.]

“… … .”

[If the phenomenon that happened to your body itself is related to the radiation exposure, you can also guess what is going on inside it to some extent.]

“What do you want to hear?”

[I just want to hear the answer to my guess. If it wasn’t now, I wouldn’t have had a chance to ask.]

“This is a question that I cannot answer.”

[Occupy the launch pad and wait for the relief boat to activate.]

Clap!!

At the same time, a heavy metal friction sound came from beyond the screen.

[In the meantime, think slowly. It will be enough time to change your mind.]

“What the hell does that mean… … .”

Keegan tried to answer that, but soon opened his mouth blankly when he saw the video projected on the wall of the conference room.

Unlike the other three screens projected through the transmitter.

The landscape of the video projected from Lennok’s transmitter was changing completely differently.

Paji Jiji!!!

The moment you pull out a thunderbolt and throw it into the empty air, a soldier rushes in from the darkness and puts his head into the brilliance.

Awesome!!

The upper part of the neck disappears on the spot, and the corpse spurts blood.

It doesn’t end with a single coincidence.

If you fling the flames under your feet, the superman who rises from the shadows will burn alive.

If you raise the muzzle of a revolver above your head, as if you’ve been waiting for it, you’ll be hit at a defenseless vital point.

Every time the colorful magic glows through your fingertips, illuminating the dark underground evacuation route.

Instead of avoiding the trail, the soldiers rushed as if they wanted to die.

As soon as he grasps the opponent’s speed and position, he anticipates the next move and casts magic there.

It is impossible to avoid the magic thrown in advance, and it leads to death by catching the breathtaking and exquisite breath on the verge.

A workshop that penetrates and overwhelms so perfectly that even a superman who has surpassed human reaction speed cannot react even if he sees it.

Even the attendants who were watching the scene through the transmitter stared at the screen at a loss for words.

“This, this… … .”

“… … .”

Overwhelming predictive ability close to foreknowledge, exceeding the speed of cognition.

It is not an area that can be explained by fighting battles or analyzing patterns.

Combat intelligence hardened into a single ability by repeating countless combinations and calculations of intuition, judgment, experience and hands.

“Is this the way a high-ranking mage looks at the world… … .”

The words that one of the attendants muttered in a daze perfectly represented the feelings of the others.

You can’t share the moment even though you’re watching it yourself. You understand with your head, but you cannot accept it with your heart.

Even though he knew that he was a human being who lived and breathed like himself, all the lines of movement and judgments extending from the tip of his head and magic had already crossed the boundary of life.

Udu doo doo!!

The magic of electric shocks and flames rising through his will did not miss even for a moment.

Like a moth to the flames, like a madman galloping head-on to death.

The appearance of superhumans who madly rush towards the brilliance of Lenok’s magical power, dying so easily that it was pointless.

The hand that wields magic power is infinitely slow and leisurely.

The speed of dying humans beyond the transmitter changes fiercely and furiously, as if grinding people.

Kagagak!!

= Aaaaaaaaa!!

= Why, why don’t you avoid it! hold on!! Occupy a seat and stay in formation!!

=Boo, it’s impossible… … !! It reads perfectly right from the start of the offensive- oh ok!!”

The superhumans guarding the passage were not blindly charging at Lennok.

On the contrary, they desperately try to pull back somehow, take time, maintain formation, and hold out until the number of people accumulates.

Even such a trivial movement seizes the gap, turns the body, burns the head, and extracts the marrow.

The movement of magic that dances on the wizard’s fingertips has already surpassed even other superhumans’ understanding.

The moment the verbal fight and psychological warfare begin, the first move is to see through all the patterns and dispel the opponent’s magic backwards.

As if looking into the future, grabbing the opponent’s collar and sending him to death, fragments of lightning flashed and scattered countless blood all over the aisle.

An unrealistic battle that seems to jump over the timeline and foresee and guide the outcome of others in front of one step.

The other three are also breaking through the evacuation route, demonstrating their unrealistic combat abilities without hesitation.

The battle that Lennok showed was not even a fight to the death in which he competes with his opponent in strength and speed.

Deaths falling one after another like water flowing, countless corpses falling one after another according to the gestures of hands as if they were staged.

Beyond it, like a wave parting, the path opened, revealing the control room.

coo!!

The shape of a huge island visible through the window wall of the control room, and the shape of a rocket-like food relief ship located in the center.

Even the mighty barrier tens of meters in height stretched out in front of such a relief ship.

The only passage to Area 25 was right there.

The hand seen through the transmitter screen grabs the button on the instrument panel without hesitation.

Keegan, who finally came to his senses, pressed the communicator and shouted in surprise.

“You must not activate the instrument panel yet, you must simultaneously activate the devices in the four areas to unlock and unlock the barrier’s door… … !!”

[I promised that you would take care of the aftermath.]

“… … yes?”

Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

At the same time as Lennok’s answer, a red warning light began to flash in the meeting room where Keegan and his attendants were located.

[warning. Accessing system control authority of Kurvas Dam facility… … .]

[Allow permission to intrude. Compulsory closure of the underground evacuation route security system.]

[Forcible ejection of the southern evacuation route control authority. 3 types of same access rights linked, forced ejection.]

The system of the Kurvas Dam and the security system of the relief ship are linked at the same time, and the security of the other three places is forcibly taken.

Lennok hadn’t intended to wait for the other three from the start.

jump!!

The door to the control room, which had been tightly closed, opened wide, and the path leading to the relief ship descended through it.

The moment Felix and Ilya began to be seen at the end of the other three evacuation routes.

The tens of meters of barrier stretched out in front of the relief boat wriggled, slowly tearing down the wall and starting to reflect the landscape beyond.

The sight of the barrier blocking the other side of the closed area starting to sink on the spot.

While Keegan watched with his mouth wide open, only Lennok’s voice echoed over the transmitter.

[Door opened. I will enter the closed area from now on.]
