    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 539

    Closed area (1)

    “There were incidents where thousands of people were massacred without any warning.”

    A conference room located at the inner gate of Kurbas Dam. said Keegan who projected a hologram on the wall with a projector.

    “After investigating the cause of death we confirmed that all of them had the same symptoms of high fever and confusion. “I realized that the strong radiation exposure phenomenon was the cause.”

    A map of the central area of ​​Balkan a huge city projected through a hologram.

    “The area where the radiation exposure occurred is area 25. “It is the first area designated as a closed area along with District 19.”

    “Are you saying that the Kurbas Dam was built to prevent radiation exposure occurring in Area 25?”

    Keegan nodded to Felix’s question.

    “It is difficult to detect the radiation exposure phenomenon from magic particles and it takes a long time to recognize its seriousness as it is concentrated and accumulates in the body.”

    “….”

    “However if we concentrate the water resources in the 20th district it is also possible to dilute it to a level that is harmless to the human body.”

    “…It’s a dangerous story.”

    Felix said with an expression of boredom.

    “If this fact were to become known the Central Council would not be safe either.”

    Keegan agreed with Felix’s words.

    “If this fact is made public some city council members may have to resign from their positions. But that’s it.”

    “….”

    “Decades have passed and the interests surrounding the Kurbas Dam are now so complicated that we don’t know who should be held responsible.”

    Even if this problem is made public who will say that this huge multi-purpose gravity dam will be stopped and the problem of the closed area will be solved?

    Simply stopping the dam to briefly check for radiation-related issues will shut down half of the water facilities in the 20th district.

    The financial loss incurred in the meantime would be truly astronomical.

    No one wants to come forward or take responsibility even though they know the fact.

    Even more so because I know that there are mountains of problems that have festered and rotted in this huge city.

    “The academic world has concluded that it is virtually impossible to artificially generate radiation exposure to magic particles.”

    Illya who was quietly listening to the explanation continued speaking.

    “Decomposing or destroying the magic particles that provide stable and efficient power to life itself requires a huge investment.”

    “….”

    “Magic particle radiation is something that is difficult to cause damage to the human body even when exposed to the decomposition process for a long time… I can’t believe that such a phenomenon has continued on this scale for over several decades.”

    Illya’s eyes shining sharply as she looked at Keegan.

    “What kind of experiments have been conducted in Area 25?”

    “…Let’s get back to the point. The problem is that the magic particle radiation phenomenon has become increasingly stronger in recent months.”

    “…”

    Keegan said looking around with a slightly stiff face.

    “If things continue like this it won’t be surprising if harmful radiation particles leak out to all water facilities in the 20th district.”

    Radioactive particles so toxic that they cannot be diluted through dam water flow directly into the water supply in the 20th district.

    The human casualties and financial losses that will occur through this process are at a level that is difficult to quantify.

    “The upper management believes that it is highly likely that a runaway occurred at the particle power plant located in the deepest part of Area 25.”

    Kiken continued.

    “So your goal will be to enter the closed area find the power plant and eliminate the cause of the worsening radiation exposure.”

    “What is the specific location of the power plant?”

    In response to Felix’s question Keegan immediately had his attendants hand out something.

    A blurry distorted satellite photo. The photo data is so old and old that the image quality is so blurry that it is difficult to even recognize the shape.

    “This photo was taken via a spirit satellite just before Area 25 was designated as a closed area.”

    “The picture quality is terrible….”

    “Fortunately it appears that the master here can sense the concentration of magic particle radiation to some extent so you won’t have much trouble finding your way.”

    “What I’m saying is that if we hadn’t been able to recruit Ban the difficulty of this matter would have been much higher.”

    Keegan couldn’t refute Illya’s sharp point and smiled bitterly.

    “Isn’t it really surprising that in an operation like this the presence or absence of a wizard determines the success or failure of the operation?”

    “….”

    Illya closed her mouth at this truly reasonable rebuttal.

    To be honest it was obvious that even if you combined the power and value of Ilya and Felix it would be difficult to catch up with Lennok alone.

    A high-ranking superhuman. Among them everyone here understood the value of a wizard who had completed and surpassed the hierarchy through pure magic.

    “There are probably more things that need explaining.”

    “yes?”

    Lennok’s sunken gaze turned to Keegan.

    “The dam is located in area 22. The closed area is Area 25. Even if you head straight from a nearby area it is difficult to break through because of the barrier blocking the area.”

    “….”

    “According to what Lucinder said the biological code can survive and function for about an hour at most. “We spent about 20 minutes moving and briefing so we should be at the entrance to the closed area within 30 minutes.”

    Without waiting for Keegan’s response Lennok pounded the table and spoke.

    “Considering what they said earlier about ‘shooting up’ it seems like they want it to be ejected above a closed area and fall… Then before that it will have to reach the launch pad or in front of the ejection port.”

    Only Lennok’s voice rang out in the quiet conference room.

    “The fact that we haven’t told you that fact yet means that there are hidden circumstances or secrets about the location or function of the launch pad itself.”

    “…The intuition of a high-ranking wizard is truly amazing. Did you already understand that?”

    At the same time Keegan smiled wryly and snapped his fingers attendants began piling up military equipment next to the table.

    Clap clap clap!!

    Suits and gas masks similar to those worn by others as well as firearms mechanical equipment communication devices and auxiliary equipment.

    Keegan spoke in front of the attendants who were quickly distributing the equipment that appeared to be a screen transmitter and a location tracking device communicator in front of the four people.

    “What I am about to tell you must be kept strictly confidential. “This is also the reason why I tell you this fact at the end.”

    The moment Felix paused Keegan’s face hardened.

    “Inside the closed area… there are still survivors alive.”

    “…A survivor?”

    “We don’t know who they are or what their purpose is but there are definitely traces of their survival.”

    Keegan lowered his voice and whispered quietly.

    “And in the Senate for some reason there are lawmakers who periodically send food relief ships for them.”

    “….”

    “At this point it is the only means of getting something into an enclosed area. “Other methods are administratively physically and technologically inaccessible.”

    After hearing Lennok’s words and Keegan’s explanation everyone finally fully understood this operation.

    Board the food relief ship recognize the biometric code on the barrier of the closed area and enter inside.

    We must find the particle power plant inside the area and eliminate the cause of the radiation exposure phenomenon.

    While the others remained silent due to the ridiculous difficulty of the operation Keegan began connecting the screen transmitter.

    “The Kurbas Dam’s underground evacuation routes are connected to classified military facilities including an island where the food relief ship launch pad is located.”

    “….”

    “In order to operate the relief line the soldiers guarding the launch pad must be occupied and breached from all four directions simultaneously.”

    Lastly Keegan who personally attached Lennok’s transmitter to his chest spoke.

    “Use four different instrument panels at the same time to activate the launcher and board the rescue ship.”

    The strange gaze half old and half young stared quietly into Lennok’s eyes.

    “I will take full responsibility for cleaning up everything.”

    * * *

    The conference room where the four superhumans left.

    There was a tense silence in the space where dozens of attendants still remained.

    The sound of swallowing the echoing heartbeat and the regular beeping sound are all mixed together to create a strange melody.

    Beep beep beep….

    Someone asked quietly between the beeps.

    “Will it be okay?”

    “What do you mean?”

    Someone among the attendants was staring at the conference room wall with a worried expression.

    “Even though the other three people are the same in the case of Fast there is evidence that he recently suffered a serious injury.”

    “….”

    “I heard that it is difficult to move without a life support device but I wonder if the conditions are too bad to carry out this operation….”

    No matter how powerful and great a high-ranking wizard is they too will eventually die when their brain and heart are damaged.

    Even if you are a magician who demonstrates greater value and talent in areas other than your combat abilities you cannot avoid acting alone in such special operations.

    An underground evacuation route to the island where the food relief ship’s launch pad is located. The senator’s private soldiers guard the road.

    It’s not just a matter of dealing with them.

    “Considering the environment of the evacuation route we need to have attendants who can fight even now follow us.”

    Underground escape routes are strong against external shocks but are quite weak against internal shocks.

    If you use high-power magic or technology excessively in a narrow dark passage it is not surprising if the entire passage collapses and you are buried alive tens of meters underground.

    In the end you have to use magic power sophisticated technology and strong physical strength to avoid damaging the passageway to reach your destination.

    In this respect isn’t Do-rei actually a superman in completely opposite conditions?

    This is an extreme situation where success cannot be guaranteed even if many-to-one battles are repeated continuously through one’s own combat ability and local-scale magical expression.

    Even if Lightning is a magician with an unrealistic track record in the shadows is it possible for him to demonstrate his skills under conditions and environments that suppress his abilities to this extent?

    But before Keegan answered that question he turned his head towards the wall where the other attendants’ gazes were directed.

    “…Azlan didn’t say anything about it.”

    “….”

    “Other team members also had no comment about the safety of Goryeong. “It’s not for us to intervene.”

    The four screens on the wall of the conference room each moved rapidly and ear-piercing gunshots and explosions began to echo one after another.

    Kwaaaa!!

    The four screens land on the ground almost simultaneously and run at different speeds.

    A movement to attack the missile launcher located in the center of the island where the food relief ship is located from four different directions.

    =How could an outsider infiltrate here…!!

    = These are criminals trying to invade the closed area. Suppress them immediately!!

    Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!

    As the area of ​​the island is not small the number of soldiers guarding the four directions leading to the launch pad easily exceeds hundreds in each direction.

    As they guard a classified area directly related to the closed area all soldiers are users of considerable magical power.

    Not only does it support firearms but it also charges in without hesitation without any fear of close combat using magical power.

    The screen of the four-pronged superhumans’ transmitter gradually becomes more shaky before the full-scale battle.

    That split-second moment when other attendants were watching with nervous expression.

    [There is one thing I would like to briefly confirm before boarding the relief ship.]

    Lennok’s calm voice echoed throughout the conference room.

    [It was said that the purpose of the food relief ship was to provide items for survivors who may still be alive in the closed area.]

    “….”

    [But the senators I know aren’t that merciful or compassionate. Rather it may be that they are trying to hide their true purpose by using such a justification.]

    “…It is a fact verified through various circumstances that survivors exist in the closed area.”

    [okay?]

    Lennok laughed.

    [The circumstances are Manager Grimes. Is it because you are the survivor of that closed area?]

    “…!!”

    Keegan didn’t respond but it was inevitable that the other attendants who were assisting him would turn pale.

    [Unusual appearance that combines youth and aging. It was too foreign to be an innate constitution or chronic disease. It seemed very close to a man-made disaster.]

    “….”

    [If the phenomenon that happened to your body itself is related to the radiation exposure phenomenon you can have some idea of ​​what is happening inside.]

    “What do you want to hear?”

    [I just want to hear the answer to my guess. There was no chance to ask any questions other than now.]

    “This is a question that I cannot answer.”

    [Occupy the launch pad and wait until the relief ship is activated.]

    Slam!!

    At the same time a heavy metal friction sound is heard from beyond the screen.

    [In the meantime think slowly. It will be enough time to change your mind.]

    “What on earth does that mean….”

    Keegan was about to answer but then saw the video projected on the wall of the conference room and opened his mouth blankly.

    Unlike the other three screens projected through the transmitter.

    The scenery of the video projected from Lennok’s transmitter was changing completely differently.

    It’s so scary!!!

    The moment a lightning bolt is pulled out and thrown into the empty air a soldier running from the darkness catches his head in the light.

    Wow!!

    The image of a corpse spouting blood with the upper part of its neck disappearing on the spot.

    It doesn’t end with just one coincidence.

    When flames bounce under one’s feet the superhuman rising from under the shadows burns alive.

    If you raise the muzzle of the revolver above your head you will be hit at the defenseless vital point as if you were waiting.

    Every time the colorful radiance of magic power spreads through your fingertips and illuminates the dark underground escape route.

    Rather than avoiding the trajectory the soldiers rush towards it as if they want to die.

    The moment you understand the opponent’s speed and position you anticipate the next move and cast magic there in advance.

    It is so dangerous and exquisite that it is impossible to avoid the magic thrown in advance and it catches the breath right before it and leads to death.

    An attack and defense that attacks and overwhelms the gap so perfectly that even superhumans who have surpassed human reaction speed cannot react even when they see it.

    Even the attendants who were watching the scene together through the transmitter stared at the screen speechless.

    “This is….”

    “….”

    An overwhelming predictive ability that is close to foresight that surpasses the speed of cognition.

    This is not an area that can be explained through numbers fighting or pattern analysis.

    Combat intelligence that has been solidified into a single ability through intuition judgment experience and countless combinations and calculations in one’s hands.

    “Is this how a high-ranking wizard views the world?…”

    The words that someone among the attendants mumbled absentmindedly perfectly expressed the feelings of the others.

    Even though you are seeing it in person you cannot share that moment. Although I understand it with my head I cannot accept it with my heart.

    Even though he knew that he was a living breathing human like himself all the movements and judgments coming from his head and magical power had already crossed the boundary of life.

    Thump thud thud!!

    The magic of electricity and flame that rises through will does not go astray even for a single moment.

    Like a moth rushing toward a flame like a madman rushing headlong toward death.

    The appearance of superhumans rushing madly towards the radiance of magical power rising from Lennok only to die so easily that it was pointless.

    The hand that holds and wields magical power is infinitely slow and leisurely.

    The speed of people dying beyond the transmitter becomes fierce and violent as if they are grinding people down.

    Let’s go!!

    =Quaaaaa!!

    =Why why don’t you avoid it! Hang on!! This means occupying space and maintaining formation!!

    =It is impossible…!! “The offensive has been read perfectly from the beginning – ugh!!”

    The superhumans guarding the passage are not blindly charging at Lennok.

    Rather they struggle to somehow retreat back waste time maintain formation and hold out until the number accumulates.

    Even the slightest movement forces you to take advantage of the opportunity turn your body burn your head and pull out your marrow.

    The movements of magical power dancing through the wizard’s fingertips are already beyond the understanding of other superhumans.

    The moment the battle of numbers and psychological warfare begins the first move is to see through all patterns and dismantle the opponent’s magic.

    As if looking into the future and grasping the opponent’s collar to send them to death fragments of electricity flash and countless blood is scattered throughout the passage.

    An unrealistic battle that seems to jump across the timeline and foresee the endings of others in advance and guide them.

    The other three people are also breaking through the evacuation route demonstrating unrealistic combat skills without hesitation.

    The battle shown by Lennok was not even a fight in which one competed with one’s strength and speed and faced death.

    Death falling one after another like flowing water. Countless corpses falling one after another according to hand gestures as if staged.

    Beyond it the road opened like waves splitting revealing the control room.

    Wow!!

    The shape of a huge island visible beyond the control room window wall and the shape of a food relief ship resembling a rocket located in the center.

    A magnificent barrier tens of meters high spread out in front of the relief ship.

    The only passage to enter Area 25 was right there.

    The hand visible on the transmitter screen grabs the button on the instrument panel without hesitation.

    Keegan who finally came to his senses was so startled that he pressed the communicator and shouted.

    “You must not activate the instrument panel yet. You must activate all four devices at the same time to unlock and open the barrier door…!!”

    [You promised that you would handle the cleanup.]

    “…yes?”

    Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

    As soon as Lennok answered a red warning light began flashing in the conference room where Keegan and his entourage were located.

    [warning. Accessing system control authority of the Kurbas Dam facility….]

    [Intrusion into permission permitted. Forced closure of the underground evacuation route security system.]

    [Forced ejection of control authority to southern evacuation route. Forced injection in conjunction with 3 types of access rights.]

    By linking the Kurbas Dam’s system and the relief ship’s security system at the same time the security of the other three locations was forcibly taken over.

    Lennok had no intention of waiting for the other three from the beginning.

    Jump up!!

    The tightly closed door of the control room opens wide and beyond it the road leading to the relief ship descends.

    The moment when Felix and Ilya began to be seen at the end of the other three escape routes.

    The tens of meters of wall stretched out in front of the relief ship began to wriggle and slowly break down illuminating the scenery beyond.

    A sight where the barrier blocking the area beyond the closed area begins to sink.

    While Keegan watched with his mouth wide open only Lennok’s voice rang out over the transmitter.

    [The door opened. From now on we will enter the closed area.]
