"So, this is the building." Kanaria raised her head, looking at a rather small building. Since it was a special laboratory, she originally thought that the building would be a skyscraper, but this one only had three floors.
Melody, on the other hand, said, "I'm afraid that this building is not that simple."@@@@
"What do you mean?"
"I notice some radiation coming from the underground. If there is no protective suit, we might have to go out as quickly as possible. I'm running the calculation right now." Melody's expression turned grim.
"Radiation?" Kanaria suddenly fell silent. If that was the case, then this building was definitely dangerous. "But aren't those materials banned? The radiation can mutate the beasts. There are a few places with high radiation, which causes a Tier 6 beast to be as strong as a Tier 8 beast."
"We don't know anything about it, but we might have to investigate it properly. You said your mother is the one sending you here, she must want you to acquire it as her movement would be monitored and under some suspicion. Either way, we don't have a lot of time. Clovis and Jay still need our help."
"Indeed." Kanaria nodded in agreement. They could think about the reasons later. Retrieving the information was more important.
"Let's go inside." Melody took a deep breath. "According to my calculation, we only have thirty minutes inside unless we have a protective suit."
The building itself was mostly covered with concrete. There weren't many windows as if to contain the radiation from spreading outside.
When Kanaria and Melody entered the building, they were greeted by a messy hall. Everything seemed to have been toppled down. There were a lot of trails on the floor.
"This is..." Kanaria's expression turned serious.
Melody, on the other hand, took out the ground radar and placed it on the floor. In that instant, she got a reading. "Kanaria."
Kanaria instantly frowned when seeing the radar. "So many?"
"Do you think that we're actually the ones getting the short straw?" Melody smiled wryly.
"I guess the beasts are attracted to the radiation. In fact, all those beasts might be mutated beasts... It's going to be a hard battle."
"You're still planning to go?" Melody looked surprised that Kanaria didn't have any fear of these many beasts.
Still, Kanaria and Melody didn't panic. They simply aimed at the second target and shot them when they were still waking up.
*Bang!*
With the second shot from both of them, there was only one beast left on this floor. Kanaria immediately aimed her pistol at this last one while Melody listened to the surrounding noises.
*Shriek!*
*Qieek!*
There were a lot of sounds coming from the lower floor. And all of them seemed to be climbing up.
*Bang!*
Kanaria killed the last beast on the floor as Melody said, "They are coming toward us."
Kanaria nodded her head and grabbed the rifle back. Since they were going to defend this position, it was better to have a bigger gun.
Melody, on the other hand, calculated the movement of the beasts and predicted the door leading to the second floor.
"There it is!" Melody marked the door on the skyglasses.
"!!!" Kanaria immediately adjusted her aim toward this door. Even she could hear the screeching sound from the beasts. From Melody's marker, it looked like the beasts were mostly rats that had mutated to be as big as a human's child.
And those rats started climbing up together.
'Here they come.' Kanaria squinted her eyes. The moment the mark Melody put on them reached the same level, Kanaria pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
The rat died instantly, but the other beasts stepped over its dead body and started coming out in rapid succession.
*Scree!*
