Chapter 109 - Shadow Moon XLIX (1/2)
”Chinese? What's that?”
”It's an Old human language, many languages were lost after the apocalyptic war, and more were left unused after the integration of galactic language in the Age of Space Exploration.” Said Eve.
”I see I remember learning about it in school that Earth used to have more than 1000 different languages. I still find it stupid whenever I think about it, I can't imagine a planet so small having more than 6000 different language how the hell can they effectively communicate with each other. Well, whatever. what does the inscription means?”
”According to the translation it's (Death Valley)” said Eve.
”That's it? What does it even mean? Well now that I think about it maybe it does make sense since there's a gigantic monster in there that are capable of piercing through a 10 or so meters solid reinforced steel wall. It should be some kind of warning I guess.” Said Arc scratching his head.
”Eve do we know anything about this Death Valley?”
”They're a lot of reference regarding Death Valley but none actually referring to that steel door.” Said Eve.
”I guess as much. I'm worried if that thing can disrupt our plan in Enigma City it'll be a waste if we have to abandon it after spending so much on the operation to take over it.” Said Arc with a furrowed brow.
”Boss I don't think it will come don't to it Tom and the rest have bought significant firepower in that operation, after all, I don't think a mere monster can defeat them.” Said Tiffa.
”No you got it wrong Tiffa, I'm not worried about them being defeated because I know they won't be, what I'm worried is the number of casualties it will bring to get that victory, I hate unnecessary death especially if it can be prevented.” Said Arc.
”I see,” Tiffa dint speak more as she knows her Boss personality it's useless to convince him, since to him the life of his men is more important than any money spent.
”We need countermeasures against the thing inside that Death Valley. Eve runs a simulation to counter-attack those things.”
”No problem Boss”
...….
”Speed up the process of taking over the rest of the City, and send the remaining Idle force to back up Wedge. Ordered Tom.”
”Yes, sir.” Although they were curious about the sudden change of plan they didn't ask any question.
Tom massage his glabella it has become a habit as of late.
”Biggs! Hmm, what's up to Tom? Something happens?”
Biggs was surprised by the sudden call from Tom in his private Comm.
Something indeed happens, check your comm I've sent you a file.
Very quickly Biggs checks the Video file, it's the same report of Brutus from Shadow Unit.
”Hmm, that going to be a problem,” said Biggs.
”I know what to do, Tom. Where almost done here I'll back up Wedge as soon as possible.” Said Biggs.
”That would be for the best, the faster we ended this fight the better we can prepare.” Said Tom.
”But doesn't that monster makes your blood boils Tom?” Said Biggs Grinning.
