Chapter 115 - Secret Facility Underneath Beomgye Station (2) (1/2)
Just like Minsok said, the smoke coming from the ceiling of the station building led into the subway and tunnels.
Sungwoo stuck his head out and lit the flashlight on the repeating crossbow. However, the ray of light did not go far. There was only endless darkness like the throat of a giant marine animal.
“Let’s go inside.”
They jumped off the railroad tracks and walked.
Tramp–Tramp–
However, the deeper Sungwoo walked through the tunnel, the stranger he felt about this particular place. It was an empty space with nothing special, which made him more suspicious.
He soon noticed why he felt so strange. Obviously, this place had been left unattended after the fall of this place, but there was no pool of water inside.
‘Suwon Station was half flooded.’
Underground facilities such as this were inevitably susceptible to flooding, so they needed the constant management of drainage facilities and water pumps, but this place wasn’t flooded at all.
‘If that’s the case, somebody is managing this place?’
Of course, since Sungwoo was not fully aware of the geographic situation of this place, it’s possible this underground place was well managed.
His suspicion turned out to be correct.
“What’s that?”
It was beginning to be brighter little by little, then a white light poured out from ahead.
Then, a white plastic curtain appeared and blocked the whole passage, but could be opened and closed with a zipper. It seemed like a kind of temporary quarantine facility.
“I used to see it in zombie movies. Isn’t that the mark of the government?”
On the left side of the entrance door, where Minsok pointed, the Taegeuk mark, the symbol of the Korean government, was attached. Below it was the description of the facility.
-Ministry of Public Administration and Security: Disaster Response Committee
-Quarantine Test Facility B-2
– Off limits to outsiders
“I think this is a government facility, given this kind of sign,” Minsok said.
Sungwoo frowned at his remark.
“I think the problem is whether the people here are public servants or not.”
The reason why Sungwoo came here was to find the crazy guys behind the Evolution Society, but it was an unexpected government facility that greeted him.
What’s the relationship between the insane scientists who have been making mysterious plots and the government that disappeared at the start of the game?
‘Can it be true that the Evolution Society guys are from the government?’
Of course, it was possible that the key government officials drew cards and became players. If that’s the case, they, too, were influenced by the quests, so they must be struggling to survive somewhere.
Even though they lost all the vested interest and power due to the collapse of the government, it’s possible that they were maintaining a large group somewhere because they used to govern the Republic of Korea.
‘Whatever it is, it is no longer an organization we can trust and follow.’
Even if such a surviving power group was still functioning somewhere, it was not appropriate to call them ‘the government.’
Sungwoo opened the zipper and entered the cylindrical vinyl area. Then, another door appeared ten meters away. It was as if there was something like a terrible virus beyond that door, so they seemed to have quarantined it in multiple ways.
Rattle-
He opened the second door and entered. Then, a facility with a relatively high ceiling appeared. Several pieces of experimental equipment were installed inside the tunnel, which measured four meters in height and eight meters in diameter. And there appeared something terrible before their eyes.
“Ugh?”
-Raid Boss monster ‘Ghoul King’ has appeared.
Kuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeh!
Finally, the Raid Boss monster appeared, but it was not complete.
“What the heck is that?”
Inside a huge vinyl tube was a huge purple ghoul, with his limbs cut off, bound with a white chain. A white magic circle over his head circled and restricted his movement.
That helpless guy was the Raid Boss monster, “Ghoul King.”
