Chapter 59: A long way to go (1/2)
Jin has taken down some notes regarding the monster's weaknesses. Especially when it comes to the Naga Slaughterer and its Rowan crawlers.
”These kinds of monsters are horrible. And the last time I saw one of these was the last time I was checking for other monsters to kill and then they almost wipe out a user squad from what I have seen and if it wasn't for me those people would have died at the hands of those monsters.”
”They are not merciful either they think as humans as mere ants. And mere slaves, those kinds of monsters are meant to be put to death by our weapons.” Jin exclaimed as he writes down everything he could see on his notes. And after a few minutes, Sun Xue tap his shoulder and said
”What are you doing Jin?” And Jin looked at her and said ”Remember what I told you earlier. Focus on what you are doing and don't mind me alright” Jin smiled and leave the classroom.
Sun Xue ``Why is he so rude to me… like I did something so bad to him`` Sun Xue pouts and feels so irritated while looking at Jin leaving the classroom.
``I wanna see how are they doing in their training sessions`` Jin remembered his squad members as he felt that he was lacking something and that is the completion of the 29th Squire Squad.
”Sadly I only have a 30-minute break and the next thing we need to do is assess ourselves depending on our Squad leader tactics” Jin whispered as he sighed and looked at the glass window as the light from the sun dazzled him. He then heads towards the mess hall to grab some food for his breakfast.
After eating they were now all summoned to a dome training. The Dome training is a Metal floor and the walls are metal. And above them is only an arc that is slowly becoming a cylindrical dome. Inside the as it gets darker and darker as the cylindrical automation slowly covered the facility. And after it's fully covered, it also became transparent and so the light was directed at them.
Tan Shan was in the middle and overlooking each one of them that was on the ground. ”I want you to partner up yourselves” And suddenly the floor near Tan Shan opened. After it was opened a rack of the weapons of the Squad leaders appeared. ”Get your weapons and fall back in.” Tan Shan ordered as he looked at them. All of them replied with a confident tone of voice ”Yes, Sir.”
And all of them break formation and grab their weapons. Jin runs up to the rack and saw the XDR-Rifle and grab it, and so a Red tab appeared.
[XDR-rifle has been contaminated with unknown substance cannot be used.] ``What the heck I can't use my weapon? What happened`` Jin looked at the XDR-rifle and only a Red tab and a warning only appeared in front of him. ”Sir, I have a problem with my weapon.”
But Jin was not alone all of their weapons are contaminated. ”No worries, just grab your weapon and return back to the formation.” And Jin replied as he felt a bit depressed as he can't use his XDR-rifle. ”Due to some implication, this may happen outside of the walls. That contamination on your weapons is also so-called as XE-W virus. It is the abbreviated word for the Xeronomic Exo-Weapon virus.
This kind of virus was the first inflicted virus to players outside of the walls. This virus,” Tan Shan showed a parasitic-like worm in a tube.
”Because this virus was a weapon killer virus. It doesn't affect the person or the player or any human being it the only problem is it doesn't make the weapon usable for a long time. Until now this virus is only half cured. And half cured weapons do not function properly sometimes those half cured weapons lead them to further implication of their abilities.”
And one of the candidates clasped his fist and shouted at Tan Shan. ”THEN WHY DID YOU PUT THE VIRUS ON MY WEAPON DID YOU KNOW THIS WEAPON IS VERY SENTIMENTAL FOR ME!” the Squad leader from the 15th shouted at Tan Shan, and Tan Shan walked towards the enraged Squad leader.
Tan Shan grabs his collar and quickly pinned him down. The 1st squad leader grabs Tan Shan's arms but he was not able to remove them.
And Tan Shan looked at him in the eyes, the way he looked at the Squad leader was so fearsome it almost made the 15th Squad leader peed himself. And then Tan Shan said with his authoritative voice.
”Do you know how many friends of mine died because of that virus? Do you know how much time I tried to fix their guns just to make them able to fight the monsters? And you hear a trainee trying to shout on a senior officer”
Tan Show punched the Squad leader's face thrice in a row.
”Now get up, you a little piece of trash” Tan Shan turns around and says ”Because of that the N.D.A.M has given you the new weapons that you must acquire. For now, those weapons are for disposable and put it at the bin over there”
after Tan Shan said that there was a sudden appearance of a hole near Tan Shan.
One by one all of the Squad leaders throw their weapons in the hole. ``I feel bad the XDR-rifle has been with me since day one and now I am letting it go and having a weapon that I am not used to.`` And then Tan Shan looked at them as they felt that their most precious was lost due to a virus.
”Now that all of you are worried about what weapon you will use. Then don't worry. The N.D.A.M have taken care of it. Remember the time when all of you need to give blood samples before entering phase 1 of your training. Well, those blood is the one that made these new weapons for you.”
