Chapter 344 - The Zone Of Transition.

"Open the border gate!"

Whoosh!

"Maintain a single file entry formation!'

The patrol of clownfish soldiers listened to the orders of the patrol commander as they piloted their military-grade shuttles through the huge gate that separated the zone of transition from the working-class zone.

For the first time since transmigrating into this world, Sebastian got the privilege of traveling through a real marvel of clownfish technology.

Unlike the transport shuttle that Sebastian entered when he traveled to the Aurora Hospital, the military-grade shuttles were far more formidable.

A common fact about them was that they were all shaped like giant clownfish. Their huge exhausts blasted out blue flames as these gigantic machines of technology took the step forward into the next zone.

Not all the soldiers of the clownfish army were made up of clownfish, the army would be too one-dimensional and limited in capacity then.

Powerful predators of other species were also able to join the army after passing a lot of tests, but the military doctrines of the army still revolved around the primordial culture of clownfish.

As the 3 huge military-grade shuttles that carried the patrol team drove through the huge gate, Sebastian was able to admire its gigantic size, architecture, and the magic runes running through its metallic frame.

This huge gate that demarcated the working-class zone from the zone of transition was called the Gate of Transition.

Though Sebastian learned of his mission assignment a little too late, he was able to react fast and improvise to get as much information as he needed.

Of course, for information, the first person that he contacted was music master Galosh. This was the only clownfish that Sebastian was acquainted with who had the qualifications to provide the information that he needed.

He was not disappointed, the music master helped once he asked and this was why he was not entirely surprised on seeing the huge gate.

Also, the music master explained more about the zone of transition to him. From what the music master explained, the zone of transition was the heart of this clownfish city that kept everything running smoothly.

He could not wait to see it and confirm for himself.

Throughout the last month, he was already in a dilemma on how to start his preparations for the great infiltration into the zone of glory.

Now, he saw this mission as a great opportunity to engage in a scouting operation. The clownfish here were intelligent, they were wary of him too because of his strength, but he believed that he could still do something.

Time waited for no man. He wanted to enter that zone, get the information that he wanted, meet the motherf*cker lord if possible, and get on with his life.

Over the past month, for some reason, he felt that he needed to accumulate power faster. He absolutely couldn't afford to settle for such mediocre speed.

Whoosh!

As soon as the 3 military-grade shuttles crossed the boundary of the huge gate, a mechanism was activated as steam was emitted from its corners while it made loud grinding sounds as it slowly closed back up.

Immediately after the huge gate was closed shut, the 3 shuttles were engulfed in darkness while they still moved forward. This way, Sebastian could not track exactly what happened until they saw light again 10 seconds later.

Through the large see-through glass of the shuttle that he rode on, Sebastian let his eyes adapt to the light again before he fully took in the sight before him.

After the 10 seconds of darkness, the 3 military-grade shuttles appeared in what seemed like a busy underwater port.

Sebastian's eyes briefly widened as he took in the sight that was before him. 

This was a massive underwater port filled with a lot of activity. 

Numerous shuttles, both military and nonmilitary-grade moved back and forth, underwater speed trains ferried across, and even captured beast transport was being used, forming a hub of activity here.

The zone of transition was not explained much in the map that Sebastian bought when he just arrived here, music master Galosh was the one who explained this zone to him and it was exactly as the master described.

The zone of transition was like its name said, it was the zone and heart of transportation that divided the truly elite zones from the others and also enabled easy transportation between both tiers of zones.

It looked similar to a giant airport, but an underwater one. The zone of transition was the smallest of the zones but experienced the most daily activity.

There were 4 huge airways or better still shuttle-ways that were built in 4 different directions in this zone. These were the most prominent structures that made up the zone of transition.

At the end of these 4 shuttle-ways were huge gates that were similar to the one that Sebastian was taken through before entering here.

According to the music master, the shuttle-way on the left led to the factory zone, the one on the middle led to the central business district which was the district of the higher-ups, while the one on the right led to the sacred zone of glory.

Of course, the shuttle-way at the back that the military-grade shuttles that Sebastian took came from led back to the working-class zone.

This was the main reason why the zone of transition was called the heart of the clownfish city. It was the pivot that divided the 2 tiers of zones.

Apart from the most prominent shuttle-ways, the zone of transition was also comprised of giant sea anemones that served as giant mechanic workshops to repair faulty shuttles and a lot of other essential structures.

No sea anemone was dedicated for entertainment in the zone of transition. It was simply a fast transition zone, no shuttle stayed here long enough for its passengers to have the luxury of entertainment.

As the 3 military-grade shuttles completed their security checks and started driving towards the shuttle-way on the far left, Sebastian's brain was constantly active as his attentive eyes took in the full sight before him.

His eyes were like cameras and his brain a storage device, he refrained from using any of his magic senses that he could activate like a skill to avoid trouble but his eyes were already enough to do the job. 

He scanned the massive number of soldiers that were mobilized here, guarding 24/7, he scanned their positions, point of focus, and he also thoroughly scanned the 3 shuttle-ways that led to the 3 most important zones.

Of these 3, he scanned the one at the far right more thoroughly.

Compared to the other shuttle-ways, the shuttle-way at the right received no traffic but still, it was the most heavily guarded.

Sebastian guessed that the visible security measures were just a fraction of the actual security scrutinizing every corner of this shuttle-way.

His eyes grew sharp. A lot of obstacles were already standing on his way to his goal, but he was not ready to give up, he would definitely get there.

Whoosh!

Amid his thoughts, the 3 military-grade shuttles completed another transition and officially entered the factory zone.

To Sebastian's frustration though, they did not get to enter deep inside the factory zone so he could observe it, the organized army was already set and was waiting for their arrival.

With their arrival, the rescue army force was ready to move.
