NO.41 Counter Corridor

>

Wow, this place is massive! I didn't know there's a whoppin' fortress here on the sea!

Don't rock the boat...

Seeing that he can't get Nanami to listen, Watanabe turns to the rest of you, who are sorting out equipment.

...Who put her on this op?

No idea how she even found us...

I heeaarrd you! You guys are badmouthing Nanami, aren't you?

I'm still mad... but since it's you, Commandant... I'll let it slide!

I heard it, though! Nanami reserves the right to punish Commandant [player name] how Nanami sees fit!

Shh, quiet down. We're almost there.

The speedboat comes to a halt next to a rock close to the fortress base.

Here is fine. Thank you.

What Watanabe-San asks, we fulfill!

You were the one who put an end to our seventeen-year civil war, after all!

Just doing my job, son.

We are all descendants of the soldiers in the old days. The dead don't hold grudges, so neither do we.

Those things that used to differentiate soldiers from each other... uniforms, titles, callsigns... they no longer exist.

The soldiers of this era... we fight together, for a common cause.

We descendants of the Forsaken shall work our hardest to achieve Mr. Watanabe's goal!

...Hmm. Remember to come pick us up in two days.

I thought it looked colossal from the distance. But now that we're getting closer—

The size of it is truly intimidating...

Wouldn't be a doomsday fortress built in the post-Pandemic Age if it didn't have a decent size.

It's different from doomsday fortresses built during the world wars or the cold war era.

The doomsday fortresses built during the Post-Pandemic Age were always designed so that the inhabitants never had to leave if they didn't want to. The owner probably spent lots of money on it.

But I don't see anyone in there.

Yeah. In the fortress, people could have hidden away from the Punishing Virus...

...The only thing they couldn't hide from was conscription. Besides, the location of this fortress is perfect. With a pair of binoculars, you could surveil the entire bay.

Yeah. When times are tough, humans are worse than any calamity.

Anyway, we need to find a way inside.

If we want to get into the fortress, we must get through the "counteractive corridors" on the outside.

For an attacker to invade, they would first have to find the fortress' weak points in the counteractive corridors, which are riddled with hardpoints.

The hardpoints should no longer be in use, but... expect lots of roaming Corrupted.
