THE LINEUSS ATTACK (SYSTEM)
Chapter 44: Passing the Tunnel

A large and high wall seemed very clear in the view of Rai and the other two young men.

The three of them stopped in front of a large and dark tunnel, this overpass still continuing into the tunnel in front of them.

“This wall was damaged as a result of the attack of the monsters who tried to penetrate the wall and wanted to attack the City of North Lhee.“ Loret said as she looked at the large wall in front of her.

His view followed the great wall that extended around the northern part of the city, it seemed that this wall shut down and protected such a vast city.

But, this wall was no longer intact, some parts were destroyed and perforated, cracks crept and expanded to almost reach the entire wall surrounding the city.

This abandoned ex makes Rai a little able to imagine when a massive attack by monsters occurred.

“You know where?“ is from Flank turned to Loret who suddenly spoke and he asked.

“Logic, I can speculate by analyzing using logic and observation what I see now.“

“Hmm .. okay.“

Flank did not want to continue the conversation anymore, and replied with agreement to the speculation Loret had made.

During Flank's long journey with Loret, Flank often heard remarks from Loret's analysis about a thing or event.

It was no longer strange if Loret behaved like that, it was already his disposition.

“You're sure we'll be in?“ ask Flank to Loret.

Flank's question was not answered directly by Loret, Loret's eyes scanned around and saw the possibility.

“There is no other option, after all this tunnel is short so we have to go there and pass it.“

Shaking his head after seeing if there was a possibility to find another way, it turned out that according to his analysis it was nil.

This short tunnel was not so long, the protective wall of the city was only a few meters thick.

“This wall is not so thick in thickness, so most likely this tunnel is not long.“ Loret said to Rai and Flank while looking at the somewhat dimly lit tunnel.

“Come we enter.“

Flank who approved the result of Loret's thoughts, stepped forward for the first one to enter the tunnel and said to invite the others.

“Featured alertness, Flank.“ Loret did not forget to remind her friend and said while holding an iron weapon in her hand.

“Oke-oke.“ Flank made an okay mark with his hand and he immediately went into the tunnel.

Loret who saw this immediately caught up with Flank and also he invited Rai to go inside.

“Come Rai we enter, the guitar must move quickly before sunset and nightfall.“

Looking back at Rai, Loret said and invited Rai to quickly move.

“OK, I'll be in.“ Rai responded by nodding and saying his potluck.

The three of them took turns entering into this huge wall tunnel.

A dark tunnel they instantly sensed when the three of them entered it, the lighting was so difficult to enter, but luckily Flank, Loret, and Rai found a light source not far in front of him.

True what Loret said, this tunnel is not long because the length of the tunnel follows the thickness of the wall that stands firmly locked the city.

There are also many vehicles that are held here, it seems that all the residents of the city when the incident occurred many are flocking to leave the city, he said, but not all of them escaped and came out of this Central Lhee City, they were restrained due to choking on the crowds that were too excessive as a result of being jammed and unable to get out.

As a result, they all died and were hit by attacks from several monsters that came into the tunnel.

The three of them had to climb aboard vehicles to get to the bright end of the tunnel.

“Residents here have certainly been too panicked when the monster attack event came.“ Loret who was standing on top of the ruined school bus suddenly just spoke.

“Why can you talk like that?“ Flank on top of the sedan in front of the school bus.

“You can see the chaotic vehicles here.“

Loret said as she pointed to all the vehicles inside the tunnel.

“I understand.“

After nodding in response to Loret's reply, Flank's foot kicked off the car's roof footing and jumped onto the other car.

“They must be very difficult to direct and orderly, otherwise this vehicle will not be here.“ Loret said as she shook her head, with her helpless face.

It is unfortunate that this event happened, those who wanted to get away from the death that came, but instead death picked him up faster.

This monster attack happened suddenly, the people thought that the city would not be affected by the attack.

They believe too much in the security of the city to make them confused and less prepared.

When a disaster occurs they can only panic in escaping and eventually make a mess.

Loret and Flank's words were just heard by Rai, he listened and nodded occasionally while looking at the surrounding area.

What Loret said has a point.

This young man was too thinking and over-analyzed the surroundings. The type of man who if anything should think and weigh something.

Pretty good a character like that, usually people like this young man is what is needed by the team.

It did not feel like they were busy climbing up the vehicle, at the end of the tunnel.

The sunlight was still dazzling, making his third body slightly warm.

What they first saw was an advanced path from the overpass they had traveled before, but the surroundings were very different.

A large tree with wide leaves grows well next to a broken path.

All these trees grow beside the existing road. Nothing was uprooted at all, everything was growing well.

Even so, the sunlight could still enter and illuminate them.

The chirping of birds that complements the sound of the leaves are swishing, the sound of nature is beautiful and soothing.

“Why are there so many birds?“

Rai said spontaneously when he heard some birds chirping that many variations and types of sounds.

The question that Rai threw out immediately made Loret swiftly answer him.

“Because most birds ... most birds are not infected by this virus, somehow they can be like that.“

Looking at the tree with such a wide trunk, Loret had the urge to try touching this tree.

“The tree is also not contaminated by this virus, but I do not know for sure,” added Loret when touching the rough trunk on one of the trees.

Flank and Loret had already stopped when they saw Loret trying to come into contact with one of the tall trees that were also large beside the road.

“Why is it like that?“ Rai asked again because he wanted to find out the reason why this tree and some birds did not become monsters.

Basically both of them are living beings in this world, but why are they like no other, becoming monsters and infecting others.

“The answer is simple, we don't know yet. No research running yet, our technology collapses and advanced tools no longer work.“

Loret walked towards the two of them and said with a complicated face.

In this world of advanced technology has been destroyed and can not be used, mankind back again to the era of cold weapons used.

Due to the collapse of technology, it makes it difficult for people to research and find an antidote to this virus.

Rai immediately pondered as he listened to the answer Loret gave out.

It is fitting that the world is still like this and has not changed, technology has been destroyed so that humans have difficulty to rise.

“Come, we're back to walking.“ Flank waved his hand towards the front of the road and said.

Loret and Rai walked behind Flank, and followed the path that was in front of them.

They continued down the road, not knowing where this road was taking them.

According to what Loret said in the building where Rai and the two met yesterday, she said that this road was the route to get to North Lhee City.

This path was already in accordance with what Loret said, but they did not know for sure, whether this was the right path or not.

After a few hours they walked until the sun had gone down and the night had long arrived, the three of them still had not found the end of this road.

Sharp turns, a few degrees turns, uphill and downhill they have passed, but what is around is still tall and large trees and leafy leaves.

“It looks like we were lucky not to meet a monster today here.“

Flank sat leaning under the tree while looking at the ground fire that was in front of him.

The three of them sat on the spacious ground not far from the main road.

After a few hours they followed the road, finally deciding to rest first before continuing the journey tomorrow.

On this road they had yet to find a single monster that had appeared to meet them and tried to attack.

“True, we seem to be lucky not to experience obstacles that are so meaningful today.“

Loret sat on top of the tree where Flank was sitting leaning against the same tree.

“It should be a forest like this that is liked by many monsters, because they come from a forest like this.“

Loret's eyes scanned the surrounding area from above, but there was nothing suspicious around the two of them.

Rai who was sitting on a rock near the three of them could only listen and listen.

Sometimes he nodded and thought about what the two of them said.

“Rai, do you want more information?“

Loret suddenly said to Rai who was below.

He offers an information on Rai, of course the goal is predictable, Loret wants something from Rai.

“There is one piece of information I want to know,” Rai said as she looked up to see Loret sitting on a large twig.

“What is it?“

“Evolver or Fighter who has awakened the ability.“

Rai's mind was nailed down by questions regarding Evolver or the warrior who awakened the ability.

As the two of them showed, Rai was still curious about this, why the two of them could be like that.

“You still have items that can be paid?“ Loret asked in lieu of an answer.

Just like before, there must be a pay on every desired information, nothing is free even in this ruined world.

“Still,” Rai replied casually.

“Oke.“ Loret nodded then she jumped down right in front of Rai.

Before he spoke to Rai for information, he asked Flank to change his eye on them from the top of the tree.

Flank accepted Flank's request, and he climbed up to the top of the tree and sat down on the twig where Loret had sat before.

“First I will explain what Evolver.“ is

Loret stood up and walked in search of a large stone for herself to be able to sit comfortably, after getting her back to the front of Rai to start giving out pertinent information.

“Evolver is a person who has experienced awakening, this person awakened one super ability to one person, so everyone has one super ability when resurrected.

This ability is of various types, some evoke a fast running ability such as cars, motorcycles, planes, then a strong body that is equivalent to several times a normal human, the ability turned into a weapon in his hands, and then the ability to turn into a weapon in his hands, and there's so much more.

Among the ones I mentioned, that ability is not that powerful. Strong evolvers usually come from warriors who awaken the ability to transform into an animal, we call it Malzer.

This Malzer Evolver has many types as well, there is a fighter who can transform into a cat, dog, bird, and others, but in Malzer there is also a strong Evolver classification.“ Loret paused for a moment to take the bag that was on her back placed on her feet.

“Evolver Malzer is a powerful Evolver that has a mutation change into a wild animal, such as crocodiles, lions, tigers, and the like.

In addition, there is also another powerful Evolver, the Evolver that awakens elemental power.

You certainly know what elemental power is.“ Loret looked at Rai and said.

“Ya, I know.“

Rai knew what elemental power was so he answered and confirmed the words addressed to him.

“This Evolver is very respected by people, because on average they are very strong.

Wind controllers and the like are so domineering, their power is much desired by everyone, including me.

But, this Malzer and Mentzer had always been competing over who was the strongest among their kind, the result of the observation of both of them being just as strong, many monsters were killed by this group of two.“

Loret picked up a bottle of mineral water in her bag and swigged down to drink it.

Seeing Loret who stopped continuing to give an explanation, Rai raised a question that came to his mind.

“How do they awaken strength?“

Hearing this, Loret immediately stopped drinking, and closed the bottle she had in her hand.

“Eating stone, intent of swallowing a special stone.“

“Special stones?“

This particular Stone word made Rai recall with the stone that raised his sword.

“Is the stone named Rist Stone?“ Rai asked as he recalled the stone he had long encountered before.

“Where do you know? I haven't told you that special new name.“

Loret was a little surprised as Rai asked like that. Because he has not told the slightest name of the special stone.
