SGC | Chapter 35

No matter how 8dda44054e Ye Ilhoo felt, f9fceb70ab there was a 9516bc8716 clear reason why d94478fde9 our team gathered cdc3d39861 today. As the dcec3542cc blinds blocked b653d61cd2 the sunlight 7644f363ce from the 0def675608 window, the 8962383a6f screen floating 5012f61769 in the 7960f8a18e dim room 0712d54f1d became clear. The screen displayed the cfe313ca4a data we received through c424c18c2b the hunter watch yesterday.cd96a68e8e042015

Ye Ilhoo stood in acbbd279ad front of the large cc1f977a12 screen. The map 0700e7d28d and text 52de84db48 projected from df6066a18b the projector 1ceba49b12 dappled his f539d92adb handsome face. He spoke in b6c3a21afa a somewhat stiff 36bc4938b4 voice.714f406024319d47

The people gathered here weren’t exactly on good terms with each other. Yet, their earnest responses made them seem like well-behaved elementary school students listening to their teacher.439b028d72ae22ca

When I let out 5a087762c9 a slight chuckle, Ye 26605a00d7 Ilhoo shot me a 27cd0a9097 sharp look. Sorry. I raised my hand 0bd88ebbd5 slightly in apology. Only then did his 2b61f47756 cold gaze move away.39f033df3b67b049

“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.”9a4dd0dd67b06d3e

In large guilds 938e9e24c9 like the state-run f079b4ff0a Hunter Center or 9f75b03886 IDEA, there were 5f5dbfe44b systems in place bdcfcbc0cc to roughly predict e646419dfc when a gate bc96b9b6f8 might appear.275a26e997c6a003

One of these was 1626057200 catching the precursor phenomenon 3bed17ca9c that appeared in the 780d6dd8ba air. Although academia 9610cebf73 still debated 53fea19aed the exact cc7405354c reasons why 3b872b2853 spaces from d750234245 other dimensions 1b2122a4f3 opened, it a8a15c85e9 was certain 126f0ecdd1 that a‘gap’formed as space-time dc583a6d35 twisted, and dungeons 0b670217b0 appeared through this 47e821939e gap.c7942dfd72ff93da

They monitored 30b931d675 the designated 2593d6df8d area day 579afb592c and night 1a3a9fb499 with specific 0a48873b20 frequencies, and 24d2288e90 when a 202dfa28e3 signal was e2e5589cf3 detected, they 74ac47f4f0 analyzed how 225f81bbf5 much space-time 444212c883 had twisted a38c55e1fc to roughly 2e8d51a9fa estimate the 5858da6d31 appearance time.f11093477bb57ad9

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.d7750c23c05a1062

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.9b0c17ad28cd6ffa

“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.”8627c4d3dab78b53

Ye Ilhoo 62aaedb80a paused and 51f839dd61 glanced at 6e0e0a1359 Chae Goya. Perhaps because it d3a691c3d1 was the first 7fe45af507 time entering a a27cb9b457 gate after such 2b020196dc a meeting, Chae ce8751f403 Goya nodded stiffly 25fa92fcf2 with a tense 6063165ba3 face.69bb5afd69e088cd

“But when you use your ability, you usually smash the ground and destroy everything. While our team can avoid it—Chae Goya with his summoned creatures, and Ryumin and I easily—when collaborating with other teams, it might restrict other hunters’ combat.”47be832acae38860

As Ye 5c81c50f02 Ilhoo said, 335f202cc7 disrupting the 15beb058d0 ground to 71f4fe5c61 buy time 0f077d7d94 was a 2224bec1e8 technique I a22513b5c8 often used.12d6cf6369c9ed14
