Episode 310
Borin’s eyes, staring ahead, were cold.
A cold aura was blowing across his originally expressionless face.
Her gaze was directed to a large factory on the outskirts of the North District.
Most of the commercial districts and factories were concentrated in the central area where the city hall was located. In particular, the main production facilities were located near the city hall.
It was a measure to efficiently manage all goods produced in Neo Seoul at the city hall.
That doesn’t mean there weren’t commercial areas or factories in other districts.
Each area produces items that are self-developed, less important, or absolutely necessary for the area’s survival.
The factory that Borin is currently watching is one of those places.
The factory was where food was produced for the elves.
The elves of Kurayan were primarily herbivorous.
The plants of the Kurayans were so nutritious that they did not necessarily need to eat meat. Thanks to this, they had no problem sustaining their bodies by eating only fruits and grass.
But the situation on Earth was different.
The land was so barren that there was not enough space to grow plants.
Although Mt. Bukhan was preserved to some extent behind Neo-Seoul, it was impossible to develop it.
Because the city designated it as a special preservation area.
So the elves created their own food production factories to survive.
The material, which appropriately mixes cultured meat and cultured plants, is focused solely on the survival of the elves.
It contains all the nutrients that elves need, and although it doesn’t taste that good, it still helps keep the elves in peak physical condition.
Of course, not all elves ate factory-produced food.
Many elves enjoyed eating meat.
The elves also changed a lot when they came to Earth.
At first it was an inevitable choice for survival, but now there are many elves who enjoy the taste of meat.
Borin was one of them.
She believed that meat-eating strengthened her fighting spirit, so she enjoyed eating meat. It wasn’t that she disliked factory-made artificial food.
Her house was also filled with factory-made food.
This factory was very important to the survival of the elves.
That was why Borin was angry.
“How dare you mess with the food factory.”
While watching Eli, I detected a suspicious flow.
The Blue Leaves Special Forces followed the flow and came here.
Eli’s associates have been frequenting that factory recently.
It was clear that something secret was being planned.
Borin ordered the Blue Leaves Special Forces.
“Come in.”
“yes!”
“We need to subdue all of Eli’s associates and find out what they are up to, so everyone brace yourself.”
“yes!”
The Blue Leaves Special Forces answered briefly and thickly.
It was a matter of touching none other than Eli’s close associates.
If things went wrong, there might be internal strife.
Even though he was exiled, Eli’s influence in the Northern District was still strong.
I had to get everything in order at the factory before Eli noticed.
As it was a major facility, the factory was protected by a magic circle.
As a translucent membrane blocked the blue leaf special forces, Borin gave an order.
“Release it!”
“yes!”
With the answer, the Blue Leaf Special Forces took out a round iron plate from their bag and attached it to the magic circle.
Pass!
In an instant, sparks flew from the iron plate and a blue current spread throughout the magic circle.
The identity of the iron plate was the key.
A universal key that can neutralize and open the magic circle spread across the main facilities in the North Zone.
Using this key will temporarily disable all magic circles.
Just like right now.
Tsk tsk tsk!
A large door was created centered around where the key was installed.
Borin and the Blue Leaf Special Forces passed through the door and entered the factory.
“What is it?”
“Why was the protective magic circle lifted?”
Those at the factory entrance were startled and made a noise.
They saw a special force of blue leaves entering the factory.
“What the heck! What the heck?”
“Stop.”
They blocked the path of the Blue Leaf Special Forces.
Borin looked at them with a cold gaze and said.
“We are the Blue Leaf Special Forces, under the orders of Lord Serian. We will consider anyone who stands in our way as a traitor and deal with them.”
“traitor?”
“what?”
Those inside the factory looked dumbfounded.
Most of the people working here were elves or dwarves.
The elves flinched at the word traitor, but the warlike dwarves were rather angry.
“On what basis do you say we are traitors?”
“Do you just follow Serian’s orders? You accused me of being a traitor without any evidence, so you must take responsibility.”
The short dwarves raised their voices.
A normal elf would have flinched at the dwarves’ aggression, but Borin was different.
“We can start looking for evidence now.”
“what?”
“Let’s take a look around the factory. If it’s clean, I’ll admit my guilt and step down. And I’ll also step down from my position as the leader of the Blue Leaf Special Forces. So get out of the way.”
“Fuck! Do you think that makes sense?”
“Why doesn’t that make sense? It’s simple. You guys get out of the way, and we go in and check. Don’t you understand that?”
“No! This is our sweat and blood factory. We can’t just open it up to you.”
The dwarf desperately refused to listen to Borin.
For a moment, a cool smile appeared on Borin’s lips.
“Rejecting what I say now is refusing the orders of Lord Serian. It is clear treason. What are you doing? Not opening the way.”
“ancient!”
The Blue Leaf Special Forces charged towards the dwarves and elves blocking their way with an answer.
Shhhhh!
The rapiers in their hands flew at a terrifying speed.
“Fuck! Stop it.”
“Who knew it would happen?”
The factory’s dwarves and elves took out their war hammers and rapiers and resisted the Blue Leaf Special Forces.
Borin snorted.
“It’s clear that there’s something fishy about it.”
They’re desperately blocking it because they’re being stabbed. But their power is not enough to stop the Blue Leaves Special Forces.
Even among the same elves, the level of fighting power is different.
The elves and dwarves of the factory are no match for the Blue Leaf Special Forces, who have been deployed on countless dangerous missions and have walked the line between life and death.
“Ahh!”
“Ugh!”
The Blue Leaves Special Forces instantly neutralized those blocking their path and opened the way.
Borin walked down the path they had opened and headed into the factory.
At the entrance to the factory, there were artificially grown plants growing.
As I pushed through the plants and entered, a vast space appeared.
On one side of the factory, there was a row of giant test tubes. Inside the test tubes, which contained a special culture medium, artificially cultured meat was growing.
On the other side, plants brought from Kurayan were being grown.
Borin, who had been looking around the inside of the factory for a while, went deeper.
As we entered inside, an iron door appeared along with a bulkhead.
It was a secret space inside the factory.
The factory blueprints did not indicate that this space existed.
Clank!
The door was closed from the inside.
“Phew! Annoying… … .”
Crunch!
Borin sighed and swung his rapier, and the lock was cut like a piece of paper.
Borin entered the secret space without hesitation.
In that moment, her expression suddenly crumpled.
It was because of the smell of blood coming from inside.
“what?”
This was the first time I had smelled such a foul smell of blood in the North District.
The faces of the Blue Leaf Special Forces, who had subdued the elves and dwarves outside and entered, also changed like Borin.
“Ugh! Woof!”
“Shit!”
The moment I smelled the strong smell of blood, I gagged.
They forced themselves to suppress their uncomfortable feelings and went inside.
The moment they entered deep into the secret space, Borin and the Blue Leaf Special Forces’ eyes opened wide.
“crazy!”
“what’s this?”
A horrific sight beyond imagination unfolded before their eyes.
Human corpses were skewered and hung in the air like meat from a butcher’s shop.
The human corpse, dismembered into parts, had numerous insects attached to it.
Wheeing!
The bugs were flapping their wings and gnawing at the corpse.
A Blue Naksan Special Force agent asked Borin with his mouth covered.
“Captain! What is that?”
“I don’t know… … I guess.”
Although he had completed numerous missions and seen many evil spirits, this was the first time he had seen insect-like creatures inside a secret space.
It was as big as an adult’s forearm, had four pairs of wings, and ten legs. It had large, hook-like teeth in its mouth, and its four pairs of eyes moved in different directions.
The tail also looks like a scorpion.
It looked like a grasshopper that had been inflated hundreds of times and then composited with other insects.
The insects, sensing the intrusion of strangers, looked on together.
The sight of tens of thousands of insects staring at me was so terrifying that I almost wish I had seen it in my dreams.
Kekekeke!
Wake up!
Their teeth chattered and made a strange noise.
It was as if they were having a conversation among themselves.
Borin, who saw the sight, quickly gave an order.
“Close the door.”
“yes?”
“Don’t let a single one escape here. Close the door now.”
“Yes, yes! I understand.”
The Blue Naksan Special Forces hurriedly closed the door.
After that, the magic awakener of the Blue Leaves Special Forces melted the door and the gap between the doors with super-hot flames. This was a measure taken because Borin had cut the door lock.
Borin muttered with a bitter smile.
“I hope you can hold out for a while.”
Huhwahwahwang!
At that moment, insects that sensed the crisis all flew into the sky.
Tens of thousands of insects swarmed and flew towards the green leaf special forces all at once.
The sight of countless insects rushing in, their teeth chattering, was terrifying. But Borin didn’t waver at all.
“Come at me as much as you want, you dirty insects!”
***
bang!
A loud noise shook Neo Seoul.
The impact was so great that the vibrations were felt in other areas as well.
Zeon paused for a moment and looked in the direction where the loud noise came from.
Not far away, flames were rising high into the sky.
“what?”
“It’s towards the factory.”
People startled by the explosion screamed as they looked at the flames.
The place where Zeon was was the North sector.
We came in to get the cooperation of the North sector in tracking down Hotsim.
Zeon frowned.
Because I had an ominous feeling.
This kind of premonition is almost always wrong, so I couldn’t just ignore it.
“Tch!”
Zeon clicked his tongue and walked towards where the explosion had occurred.
After a while, he arrived at the very factory that Borin had entered.
Red flames were shooting up through the factory ceiling.
The intense heat made it seem as if the factory walls would melt at any moment.
On the factory floor lay elves and dwarves who had been subdued by the Blue Leaf Special Forces.
It was when Zeon passed them and entered the factory.
bang!
An explosion erupted from the iron gate inside the factory.
The iron door burst outward as if a tremendous impact had been made from within.
Boom!
There was another loud explosion and the iron door shattered.
Then a huge number of bugs poured out at once.
Wheeing!
“Don’t let even one escape. It will be a disaster for the North sector.”
It was at that time that Borin’s urgent voice was heard from inside.
‘A disaster is coming?’
Without another second thought, Zeon opened the subspace.
Chorus!
A huge amount of sand poured out.
“Sand tornado.”
The sand swallowed up the insects in an instant.
There were many bugs trying to get out, but there was thousands of times more sand.
Gosh!
A sand tornado spun around terribly, gnawing away at all the insects.
