Her words left Everlearn speechless.

An entire city of humans imprisoned, under the hold of an enemy race like the Nakros.

How would the living conditions be in such a setting?

But then one thing confused him.

When a human sees a Nakros, entire Corer army teams are deployed to eliminate it.

But Nakros are imprisoning humans instead of killing them outright?

Why would they hold humans as captives instead of killing them?

"Anything that stops the government from reaching there?" he asked, as her hand moved over her keyboard, the map zooming in to reveal even more cities.

"There are a lot of factors, and firstly," she said. "Tale City is the center of an E-grade continent."

"Look, there are five more cities surrounding Tell, and as you can see, each of them is filled to the brim with Nakros."

She gestured, and Everlearn could indeed see the crazy number of green dots.

"If Tale city has to be rescued, the government would have to break through about three layers of Nakros-infested cities before reaching them, no matter which side they try to come in from."

"The only path possible is through the sky. Nakros don't fly, nor do they have any technology enabling that, but even that is stupid."

"Sending a plane right in the middle?"

"Even if the Nakros in Tale City are being dealt with, they can simply ask aid from the other Nakros in the surrounding areas, who will bombard the human plane from all sides."

"I don't imagine even a powerful squad surviving an assault from that many Nakros," she said, and Everlearn's heart unconsciously sank.

The one thing the Nakros suck at is flight, but they can jump and are fast.

Besides, Tale City is at the center, almost like an encirclement had been made.

'They're not just brutish like they said. They're using their brains too,' he thought quietly.

"Mind you, Tale City is just one of the cities," Sara said, continuing,

"There are dozens of other cities in the same predicament."

"The government will have to retake one city again and again to reach the deeper cities. That's the only way, but such a method is also flawed: By the time they get through and reach the deeper cities, all of those humans would have likely died already."

"A good example is humans in Tale City. They're all as good as dead right now, unless somehow an unreasonable miracle happens," she said, and Everlearn's brow furrowed before he made his choice.

"Here," he said, pointing at Tale City.

"Yes?" Sara asked.

"This will be our first mission: We find a way to free the humans in Tale City."

"WHAT!?" Sara screamed in shock.

"But...I just explained to you, it's impossible," she said, looking at Everlearn, who continued.

"The timeframe will be a month. If we fail, we'll disband."

He said, and she fell quiet before asking, "What's your plan?"

"It's simple," Everlearn said.

"Fly to the center and drop down onto Tale City from above. That way, we avoid having to break through the city one by one."

"Then, we get rid of the Nakros around Tale City. That should be easy, as there's already a hole in their defense," he said, and Sara's brows furrowed.

"What hole?"

"Look at the number of Nakros in Tell City versus the number of Nakros in other cities," he said, and she looked at the numbers, surprised.

"In Tale City, there are only 22 Nakros recognized, about one-third of the number of Nakros in other cities."

"The Nakros believe Tale city is impossible to invade, so they smartly placed fewer Nakros to guard it while putting more in the other cities before Tale."

"That makes Tale City the weakest infested city." He said, but Sara wasn't fully convinced.

"But even if you drop down and get rid of the Nakros, you will have to transport the humans, and that takes time."

"That much human!? You can't use a helijet. You have to use a large plane, which is too slow."

"Before the humans are freed and sent back up into the plane, it would already have been bombarded by Nakros from all other cities."

She explained, and she was correct.

"If the humans can be evacuated fast, they'll succeed. If they fail to be evacuated fast, the Nakros would catch up, and all would be destroyed."

"The biggest problem is the evacuation time."

"That's true. Unless there's a way you can snap your fingers and the entire TaleNakros prison disappears, stored away somewhere," she said, and Everlearn's brow furrowed.

"Wait, you said stored away?" he asked, and she nodded.

A place that can instantaneously store something.

That was the System Shop.

If he could truly descend upon TaleNakros Prison and take the humans with a single touch, storing them in the System Shop, he might succeed.

'Hey System, can I keep humans in the Shop Space?' he asked, hopefully, but light quickly dimmed in his eyes.

║The System Shop only stores non-living materials.║

'Is there a gadget in the shop that can store living things that I can buy?' he asked.

║Yes, there is one.║

'Show Me,'

║Mech Gadgets: Xoldor Living Store Ring║

║Description: A storage space created using the Ancient Xoldor Helix Protocol. It is the size of a living room, measuring 5 meters in height, 4 meters in length, and 3 meters in width.║

║Effect: Contains breathable air; hence can store living things for 5 hours!║

'Perfect! This is perfect!'

Everlearn almost shouted, but when he looked down, his breath caught in his throat.

║Price: 1,500,000 Purchase Points!║

'The Fuck!?'

║Hehehehe, Broke Sucker║

║You're trying to buy an Ancient Mech Gadget. What did you expect?║

The system panel mocked, and Everlearn's brow twitched as he dispersed the panel.

There were a million and one things he could buy with that amount of points.

It was dumb to exchange that much for a single Mech Gadget.

"I think I have an idea," Sara said, and Everlearn turned to her expectantly.

"What's that?"

"How about using a…"
