Reawaken the World

Elena and Sara (Part 2)

"People from the eastern district learned the technology from the old world to fight against monsters from the old world and came up with many different ways to improve one's physical abilities. One way is to use nano. It has many different effects such as using force fields to strengthen muscles, improve cells, or even genetic modification. And when it comes to highly advanced nanomachines, they can even replace a person's cells with cells made by nanomachines and transform their body similar to a cyborg. They may look exactly the same as a normal person, but these people will be able to flip a car or become resistant to bullets without using enlarged clothing."

 

"Actually Sara almost died due to certain circumstances and received treatment using nanomachines. The treatment itself was a success, he could escape death and even obtain a better body. But because of that, he couldn't survive without nano."

 

"His body is actively consuming nano in his daily life and his consumption is increasing as he works as a Hunter. But nano charging takes a lot of money."

 

"He could actually undergo treatment to eliminate the dependence with nano, but he would need a large sum of money and he would be left with a weak body. It would also require more money to take care of his weak body. In short, they are problems that can only be solved with money. And since he didn't have much wealth, he could only maintain the status quo."

 

 

"One of the reasons why Elena bet on the rumors was because Sara needed money to keep her life. Not to mention that Sara who was their main fire power would be less burdened if they explored the area with weak monsters. The nanomachine Sara consumed when she fought was replenished by distributing the nano stock on her chest, and now her chest was already shrinking. Since Elena knew how it looked when Sara had a full stock of nano, she couldn't help but worry about seeing Sara's current condition."

 

"Elena looked at Sara intensely and said."

 

(“. But if you keep going like this, I'll sell my own equipment and force give you Nano, you know. ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Sara looked back at Elena with an equally sharp gaze."

 

(“Please don't do that. If you do that, we will have less equipment and it will be harder to earn money. How long do you think it will take us to get all this equipment? ”) 

 

(“That's nothing compared to your life. When push comes to shove, I will do that and let's bounce back together. If today's expedition goes well, we'll spend our money first to replenish your nano, okay? ”) 

 

"He will not accept objections. That's what his eyes said. They had been friends since before they started working as Hunters. Their conversation had led to a situation where either one of them had to retreat or they would not reach a compromise, so Sara simply accepted it and made a light smile."

 

(“Alright, I understand. But really, we really can't live without money. ”) 

 

"Elena smiled back at Sara."

 

(“Isn't it too late for that? Hunters are like that, right? ”) 

 

(“Well, that's true too. ”) 

 

"With so much on their minds, Elena and Sara headed to the ruins of Kuzusuhara City with a smile."

 

" *** "

 

"About still moving around the outskirts of the ruins of Kuzusuhara. He had indeed thought of searching for relics since he came to the ruins, but there were many other Hunters in the ruins. Therefore, he had to keep moving to avoid bumping into them."

 

"Thanks to Alpha's advanced enemy detection capabilities, Akira was able to avoid crashing into monsters or Hunters. But there was no way for him to search for relics or continue his shooting practice, so Akira was a bit disappointed."

 

[About, we should move again. ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

(“Again? Why is this place full of people? And also, is it really common for destruction to become crowded like this? ”) 

 

[It depends on the ruins, but these ruins should have been abandoned. When I met you, there was no Hunter but you. Even after that, the only other Hunters I saw around this place were the two people you killed the other day. ]

 

"Akira's expression turned grim."

 

(“... Then, doesn't that mean they're tailing me? Are they looking for me? ”) 

 

"A little worried, he couldn't help but think that these Hunters were looking for him for the exact same reason that the Hunters were stalking him the other day. But this time, they brought along many other Hunters."

 

"Alpha then smiled and tried to calm Akira."

 

[Don't worry, even if that's the case, you'll be fine because you've got me. ]

 

(“Yeah, I'm counting on you for that part, but ..”) 

 

[After all, I don't think those Hunters were specifically targeting you. I have a feeling about their purpose here. That's why I said, there's nothing to worry about. ]

 

"Then Alpha went on to explain to Akira about the rumors that Elena and the other hunters heard, the source of the rumors, the source of the rumors, and the things the other Hunters were looking for after hearing the rumors. After listening to Alpha's explanation, Akira understood that he was the main reason for everything that happened, and his face turned pale."

 

(“So, that's what happened, yeah. It's getting more and more troublesome. ”) 

 

[Well, because it's just a rumor. I'm sure only half of the people who heard it actually believed it. It will soon pass once they know they can't find a relic. That's why I don't think you should worry about it. Let's go . ]

 

 

"About feeling a bit complicated about people flooding in with destruction because of what he was doing, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he just put those feelings aside. He continued to traverse the ruins by following Alpha. "

 

" *** "

 

"As for Elena and Sara, they still haven't gotten any results. Although Sara expected that, she still felt disappointed when she sighed."

 

(“Although I didn't expect much, I never thought that this would go to waste. ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Elena laughed bitterly and tried to comfort Sara."

 

(“If it's that easy, then someone will find it first, you know. Let's continue to search patiently. ”) 

 

(“Even if you say so, I don't feel like we'll find anything if we continue to look blindly like this. Elena, do you have a clue or something? ”) 

 

(“I'm actually looking for the kid's footprints. If it is true that a child finds an unexplored area as the rumors say, then there may be some small footprints that will take us there. ”) 

 

(“As expected of you, you always have a unique point of view. ”) 

 

"The work on Elena's team is clearly distributed. Elena's job is to gather information, while Sara's work struggles. And they're well equipped for each other's work."

 

"The main equipment for Elena is the information gathering device. It was a high-tech device for reconnaissance consisting of motion detectors, sonar maps, and advanced scope. He used it to gather various information such as mapping ruins or scanning and finding enemy hideouts. He also carries a weapon, but compared to Sara's equipment, his art is only a light weapon."

 

"Sara's "main equipment is a powerful weapon. Usually, one needs to use an enlarged outfit to handle the weight and kicks of the gun, but he can swing it everywhere due to his strong body. As for her armor, she was equipped with sturdy armor to handle the situation when she needed to be Elena's shield."

 

 

 

"Elena who was responsible for gathering information did all she could to answer Sara's expectations. Because of Elena's incredible skill, she could find footprints in the dust-filled ruins flying by. But the result was not as expected. So Elena could only reply back to Sara with a bitter laugh."

 

(“Well, I still can't find any small footprints, but I did find adult footprints. ”) 

 

(“It's still a lot better than blindly looking. So where do we see next? ”) 

 

(“Let's find a place where a small child might go. Ah, right, let me tell you this when I still have a chance, Sara. The colorless fog is getting thicker, so be careful. ”) 

 

(“Accept . If it gets worse, let's go back. It will be your call to decide when to return, Elena. ”) 

 

"Elena and Sara then moved deeper into the ruins while guarding their defenses."

 

" *** "

 

"About moving carefully inside the ruins. To avoid bumping into the other Hunters, he hid inside an abandoned building. He observed the situation outside the building with binoculars."

 

"Every time Akira finds another Hunter through his binoculars, he will wonder if that Hunter will be coming home soon. Alpha notices the action and talks to him."

 

[About, since this is a good opportunity, I will explain to you about the colorless fog. ]

 

(“Colorless fog?”) 

 

[Yes. It's starting to get thicker. Look at that direction. ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"Alpha then went into Akira's binocular field of view and pointed her finger."

 

[See in that direction and in this direction, can you find the difference?]

 

(“... I don't see any difference, they look the same. ”) 

 

[Are you sure?]

 

"Alpha smiled at Akira as if she was urging Akira to take another look. So Akira looked again but this time more carefully. But he could only see buildings lined up in both directions, a common sight in the ruins. They are exactly the same as him. But since Alpha seems to be expecting an answer, Akira tries his best to look for their differences."

 

(“. ”) 

 

"Alpha then smiled and nodded strongly."

 

[Feed . The colorless fog on the right is thicker. ]

 

(“...That's it?”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

[This is the most important part. It's fatal for the eastern Hunter not to know this, so listen carefully. ]

 

"To Akira who seemed confused, Alpha smiled as if to push him and start his explanation."

 

 

"Colorless fog is the name that people in eastern districts give to certain phenomena. Unlike ordinary fog that appears white from the scattering of light, the range and thickness of this colorless fog can only be observed from the blurring of the field of view."

 

"All areas within the colorless fog will blur. If it only obstructs the view to some extent, it might pose some problems but Hunters can easily overcome it by using high-tech information gathering devices, but the effect of the colored fog does not stop there. There are many unexplained phenomena that fuse with the colorless fog."

 

"Radio waves, electromagnetic signals, even sounds and smells will also be affected in a colorless fog. Both living organisms and machines will have problems in obtaining information about their environment. It was as if all kinds of powerful jamming devices were active at the same time. The performance of thermo-optical camouflage will be greatly reduced to the point that it is almost useless. Then starting from the optical key, all types of keys will be considered unusable. Wireless communication will be filled with noise and fog can even affect wired communication several times."

 

"In addition, all weapons will lose their power and range. Trajectory will be highly distorted which worsens accuracy. And when the colorless fog is thick enough, even the path the bullet took will be visible."

 

"This phenomenon greatly affected Hunter's activity in the eastern district. Inexperienced hunters like Akira, could not fully understand the dangers of this phenomenon even after listening to Alpha's explanation."

 

(“I, at least understand that it will be bad when the fog thickens. ”) 

 

"Alpha could clearly see how much Akira understood the situation, so she shook her head and explained in seriousness."

 

[You don't seem to understand it completely, so I'll just explain the part where it affected you back then. First of all, the reason why monsters could not easily attack people in the eastern district was because of the colored fog. The monsters were also affected by the fog. Thanks to that, these monsters had a hard time finding people thus allowing humans to stay here. If that fog does not exist, even the monsters on the other side of the ruins will be able to detect your existence. The detection function installed in their weapons made by the old world was very powerful. ]

 

"Regarding whether Akira really understood the importance of that monster's detection ability, he at least understood how important it was to avoid enemy detection. He nodded as if he was amazed."

 

(“I understand now, it is indeed important. ”) 

 

[And one more thing . Once it became extremely thick, it would affect monsters, humans, and machines, thus lowering their ability to detect enemies. In the worst-case scenario, you might even be able to find the enemy faster than me, you know. That's why for now, if the fog gets thicker, then you should cancel the destruction expedition and return to the city. ]

 

"About awe listening closely to Alpha's words, he finally understood the danger of fog."

 

(“... Wait, doesn't that mean when the fog is thick enough, there is still a great chance for me to meet monsters even with your support?”) 

 

[Yes, right. ]

 

(“.... If I encounter a monster, what do you think is the possibility that I currently win?”) 

 

[In cases where the fog is thick enough, and my support is hindered to the point of being useless, all your encounters will likely be close encounters. At that point, there will be very little hope for you. ]

 

(“.... Just now you said that the fog is getting thicker, right?”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

[Yes. ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"About suddenly stopped talking and used his binoculars to keep an eye on the enemies around him. Of course, it was extremely rare for fog to even be that thick. But Alpha who knows it just keeps it a secret while smiling mischievously."
