The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029: Regulations

Despite the ongoing battle, dead bodies continued falling inside the crater sporadically in their hundreds.

In a world of endless conflicts, the bodies produced were also endless, and these bodies were not a waste, they could serve as a source of food, used for experiments, and hundreds of other possibilities, and in the instance of this crater, life itself... The Chaotic vitality harvested from the Shiik was purified and compressed into life-saving pills that aided Explorers in the war effort against the Calamities.

These pills were popular on countless continents and were one of the foundations that held up the war effort. The humble Shiik Calamity beasts, known as one of the weakest Calamities in existence, made such a thing possible.

Things had remained relatively stable inside the crater for the past tens of thousands of years. It was a new pit and there was no reason why a Heroic Ranked Calamity should appear inside for another hundreds of thousands of years, thereby making the supervision of the crater to be quite lax. Today was the day when the supervisors of this pit descended into it to harvest.

It was a normal procedure and they had performed it dozens of times in the past, and thereby they anticipated that nothing out of the norm would occur. Although there was always a degree of danger to this procedure.

Three people, two males and a female, wearing large suits of gray with glass covering over their faces that would remind Rowan of the Hazmat suits from his previous universe descended into the crater using a large platform that glided downwards using an unknown forcefield application.

The three people were Heroic Ranked Explorers, and with their power, they could enter the crater and escape with their lives if they did nothing to trigger the horde below, nevertheless, Shiik beasts were known to be fairly docile and preferred eating the dead than hunting the living.

If they followed protocols then they had nothing to fear. They descended in silence for a while before it was broken by a voice,

"Every time I come down here, I don't know why I always expect something different, but nothing ever changes. I really hate this place," the female Explorer sighed and squeezed her fist tight as she watched bodies falling past them and descending into the darkness miles below.

The male Explorer by her right side shrugged, "Eeh, you get used to it after a while. I have been doing this job for thirty years, longer than both of you, and the most danger I have ever gotten into was being crushed by a falling body," he chuckled weakly but was smacked by the last male Explorer beside him,

"she was not referring to the nonexistent dangers here fools, only the tainted Aura that remains and twists the mind. There is no reason life should be found in this pit of corpses, but even from up high, you can feel it and it's sickening. Besides you only have a few months of experience over the two of us, and that was because you were lucky to have a faster transport that brought you here."

The Explorer who was smacked frowned, before retorting,

"I never knew you became a mind reader, why should it be one thing and not the other."

"Because it's pretty clear what she meant... not about your..."

A flurry of words was exchanged between the two men and any observer here would understand that both men were hopelessly infatuated with their female partner and were always looking for an opportunity to grandstand in front of her. Well they could not be blamed, they were the only three Explorers for hundreds of miles around.
