No matter 5f70cbace5 how Ye 7d73691052 Ilhoo felt, 7733465f71 there was 14af106bc6 a clear 7d7a4c669d reason why 48b48ca8d4 our team 8b12b0ef3a gathered today. As the blinds 1bc9d058f1 blocked the sunlight ad9fa0cfce from the window, d0988992db the screen floating 20efba7252 in the dim 22a89ebe45 room became clear. The screen 9816aaf434 displayed the 4952f36a55 data we c476d364fe received through 4315d56002 the hunter 011fb10997 watch yesterday.5ca099758bbd1f08

Ye Ilhoo stood in d00281459d front of the large fde1516517 screen. The map and text d2094fe8e3 projected from the projector 06c66fee2d dappled his handsome face. He spoke f556aa59dd in a 18dc4f74e8 somewhat stiff aa5cf402a1 voice.40b3e9c531915c2f

When I let out 10959548db a slight chuckle, Ye 195682865b Ilhoo shot me a e32a073e41 sharp look. Sorry. I raised 2fa270e1ef my hand d31cb95de8 slightly in 938b36f972 apology. Only then did his e1b069f356 cold gaze move away.724d82ec250421c0

“You’ve probably already reviewed the materials we received yesterday, but I’ll announce it once more. The gate precursor phenomenon appeared the night before last, and the expected appearance time is around 2 PM tomorrow. It’s an A-rank, so if we handle it as usual, it should be fine, but as you know, there are always many variables.”9e7e1edfa5ffe006

In large dca58bf8fc guilds like 02995a2e30 the state-run 161495e7ae Hunter Center 27f65d119b or IDEA, d273311586 there were 2d4f1b54c4 systems in e7cd49a459 place to 405ec65edd roughly predict 921d3356a7 when a 17e80c07bd gate might b83f428a86 appear.b213e34b6f385f42

One of these was c8f8307656 catching the precursor phenomenon 2d7db3d5c0 that appeared in the d3dc91dd03 air. Although academia still f147f848c5 debated the exact d3b11a1e76 reasons why spaces 99b892c851 from other dimensions ec4595fa4e opened, it was 80d228e7f7 certain that a‘gap’formed as space-time 056f49ca12 twisted, and dungeons c2331b512f appeared through this 43da368c70 gap.7be6d7262b986805

Just a few years ago, it was said that predictions could be made within half a day, but now errors were only about an hour or two at most. It must have been the result of some crazy scientist’s intense research.554b2240c1ef4b2e

Anyway, it wouldn’t deviate much from the predicted range we were informed of. I checked my hunter watch. There were about 25 hours left until 2 PM tomorrow.5655c5070784a888

“Given the rank, we’ll focus on defense first. Like last time, having Kang Baram rush out and sweep everything is too risky. The boss and I discussed it with the strategy team, and Chae Goya will lead first.”c7a4ec9ba4ae2635

Ye Ilhoo paused df2972adc9 and glanced at a2e8d2ba58 Chae Goya. Perhaps because it was e8c2cf04a4 the first time entering fe6041e0ee a gate after such f70de9d558 a meeting, Chae Goya c5f4647582 nodded stiffly with a 92505483f5 tense face.78e37afca0dcd957
