Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 133
Only Krnovel
Episode 133
69. Message from Space (2)
That’s right.
This voice, that tone of voice.
That’s my senior, Baek Seung-hyun, who went to China.
But how are you still alive?
At present, all of China, except for a few provinces, has fallen into the hands of monsters.
In particular, the ruins in the video he released are an environment that is not much different from a literal “other world.”
however,
coral8108 : No, what is that?
XDs_Grrrrr: Shanghai, Shanghai!
Anonymous 13: Wasn’t China completely eroded?
LVRM: It’s eroded. The live broadcaster who’s filming this show is in an eroded area!
Anonymous 100: I also applied for a live and got banned. I think I know why I got banned.
Rupert Gauser: I can’t believe it.
gijayangban:?
Suddenly a message appears at the top of the screen.
I was wondering what it was and it was chatting.
Viva! Apocalypse! in real time! Added a feature that allows users to chat while watching the broadcast.
As expected, the creator of our world also chatted in a larger and more colorful font than others.
MELON_MASK: The current broadcasting Vivarian is a Korean account holder, and her nickname is Dongtan Mom! Dongtan Mom! Hello?
Instead of answering Melon Mask’s question with her voice, Dongtan Mom answered with a rather witty gimmick.
A woman’s hand, presumably his wife, held up a sketchbook in front of the screen.
The sketchbook had the word “YES” written in large crayon letters.
The response from bulletin board users who saw that reaction was enthusiastic.
Anonymous 13: Haha! This guy! He’s funny!
LVRM: How can you not lose your sense of humor in such a situation?
demoliton’86: How are you alive?
yamasakiem: How did you get to China?
I_HATE_NY : Show me your face, my love.
unicorn18 : Ugh.
Ohio9: Hey! Who’s that girl next to you?
mmmmmmmmm : Wow~ Mom~!!!!!!
SKELTON: ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Hmm, is that it?
gijayangban : ?
…
…
As the bulletin board heated up, the one who naturally took charge of the event was Melon Mask, who had full authority over our bulletin board.
MELON_MASK: Hey! Dongtan Mom! The scenery of Shanghai you sent me was really impressive, but is that all? There are people who applied for the live performance besides you, so can I hang up the line?
Then suddenly the screen shook left and right.
Probably shaking his head.
It appears that the video equipment is attached to the helmet or forehead.
His feelings were soon revealed through a sketchbook that Baek Seung-hyun’s wife had scribbled on with crayons.
– SHOW TIME
Showtime?
Are you trying to show me something?
What else do you want to show there?
As everyone was questioning, a dull, low growl suddenly came from the speakers.
Booooooooo—
Dongtan Mom’s showtime began amidst the sound of stomach rumbling.
He suddenly flew up into the sky.
Just like Superman.
But soon the screen revealed the identity of the object that had made him fly into the sky.
It’s a crane.
He floated himself by tying an elastic rope or something similar to the end of a crane.
A close-up of the screen showed a bearded man operating a crane atop a tower, giving a thumbs-up.
The screen turned again to show the quay and the ground beneath our feet, dyed in ashen grey.
conceive.
That’s a huge container ship too.
It is the flagship of the evacuation fleet, probably named Hope.
Not a single refugee was seen among the crowds that had filled the deck.
There is only an empty deck, as if it had been swept away by the waves.
Dongtan Mom’s vision seemed to circle the deck diagonally, heading toward the ashen city beyond it.
Suddenly, Dongtan Mom’s eye level suddenly lowered, and with a thud, Dongtan Mom landed in the gray city.
As soon as he stepped out, the zombie-like screams echoed from all around.
Dongtan Mom’s run has begun.
The place he headed to was a half-broken warehouse across the docks.
As we entered the warehouse, red eyes opened from beyond the darkness, filling the entire warehouse.
Dongtan Mom showed a grenade in the center of the screen, pulled out the pin, and threw it at the zombies.
Boom!
The screen was briefly obscured by explosions and dust, and when the dust cleared, a box of what appeared to be Chinese combat rations appeared.
Dongtan Mom lifted it up in a flash.
“Yum!”
While spitting out his signature lines, like an incurable disease.
Then Dongtan Mom’s vision soared into the sky again, revealing hundreds of zombies and gray-white monsters that even he could not identify chasing him.
Dongtan Mom turned her head towards her home base, leaving behind the increasingly distant remains of destruction.
-Hope
A few people were standing on deck, waving at him.
As she landed on the deck, Dongtan Mom covered the screen with her palm and said her final words.
“Yum yum:
That was the finale of Dongtan Mom Live.
“……”
To be honest,
It was cool……
I’m not the only one who thinks this.
gordonfreiman : I can’t believe it!
X’Ds_Grrrrr Dongtan Mom! Is he a god?
Anonymous 666: It was a fantastic show! It was even more fantastic because it was real!
Dies_irea69: We missed out on a great talent
Zebusika: Dongtan Mom! Goat
Rupert_Gauser : Oh my god!
Alnasru_Alipasha: God protect him!
mmmmmmmmm : Oh my god! I’m dying!
Diesirae? Why can’t I see that guy?
Live! Is Apocalypse a different mechanism than before?
Anyway, not only that human trash, but also thousands of users are going crazy over it.
Palenet users who are not qualified to chat were spamming our bulletin board and worshipping Dongtan Mom. One thing is certain.
The whole world is cheering for Dongtan Mom.
The worst user on the bulletin board has now become a global influencer.
The world’s most famous man, Melon Mask, was no exception.
MELON_MASK : Dongtan Mom! You are truly fantastic!
What is this feeling?
Do you have feelings of inferiority, of being left behind, of being inferior to others, and of being worthless?
Could it be that this professor feels inferior to Dongtan Mom?
No, I do feel that way a little bit, but I just saw something strange in that video.
It wasn’t just zombies chasing Dongtan Mom.
Among the zombies, there were otherworldly monsters that I had never seen before.
It is not an alien species.
It only lives around the rift and if it comes out to Earth it cannot survive for long and disappears.
So is it a monster?
That could be possible, but it seemed inferior to the monsters that had their own elegance and superiority. The number was not as many as zombies, but it was a considerable number, making up one out of ten zombies.
There must have been at least 40 mixed in there.
Above all, it actively pursued humans while mixing with zombies.
It is a monster’s characteristic to kill humans who invade its territory, but monsters are generally static. They don’t chase people in groups like that. What on earth could it be?
I wasn’t the only one who had the same question.
Anonymous 68 Was that just an extinction?
Extinction type?
Is this a new category?
I’ve never heard of it, but I’ve been out of the workforce for a long time.
It’s only natural that a new monster, type, or theory or two will appear without my knowledge.
The show isn’t over yet.
Following the shocking Dongtan Mom’s Showtime, Melon Mask has awarded the broadcast rights to Live! Apocalypse to the hottest and most talented Viva! Apocalypse! users around the world.
For a full three years since the war began.
The bulletin board users of our world were not simply corroded by erosion and destruction.
Rather, he was sharpening his sword in the dark and deep darkness, shaking hands with loneliness and waiting for the day when his true worth would be revealed.
The following broadcasts feature a man living in a machine, a real naturalist living a primitive life in the middle of the Canadian forest,
Users with their own unique stories and dramas, such as a near-death bomb victim living a lonely life in a city where all life was lost after a nuclear attack, or an indomitable animator releasing their own self-produced animation, competed to show off their own colors.
It’s really hard to believe, but at the end of the broadcast, another Korean user also appeared.
“Hi~ My name is M9. People say me the cliffhanger. Let me introduce my sweet home, the hope, miracle in Seoul.”
It’s m9.
Perhaps because he was strongly conscious of Dongtan Mom, he had his cell phone firmly attached to his head with blue tape, and while speaking Konglish in the first-person view, he suddenly showed a video of himself running breathlessly to his slanted apartment and climbing up the apartment like a madman.
They say that a dog that has been studying for three months can recite poetry, and even though he had lived in a slanted apartment for over two years, he showed quite nimble movements, but the broadcast was forcibly ended as the cell phone hanging from the hook fell and rolled down in the slanted space that appeared to be an elevator shaft, and the sound of “Fuck!” was uttered.
So today’s live ended.
While numerous users were communicating with users around the world by expressing their emotions in the form of chat, Melon Mask expressed his thoughts through a dedicated message window.
MELON_MASK: It was a very impressive broadcast.
MELON_MASK: For the past three years, I’ve been stuck in the middle of space and thought about becoming cosmic dust like the unfortunate Donald, but seeing you all working so hard gave me hope.
MELON_MASK: Live! Apocalypse is going to be streamed once a week, on Sundays at 12:00 PM, Greenwich Mean Time, for one hour. Why once a week? There are technical issues, and there’s also the issue of running out of material. To be honest, if we broadcast like this 24 hours a day, every day, it’s obvious that the quality of the content will decline. I don’t want to turn Live! Apocalypse!, which we’ve ambitiously prepared, into a broadcast that gets ignored.
Definitely someone who knows something about Melon Mask.
He may not have the same savagery as John Nannon, but he was far superior to him in terms of technical prowess and creativity, especially in his understanding of the community. The Melon Mask made up for the week-long gap in meaning.
MELON_MASK: The biggest goal was to give you guys a little hope. What should I say? The fun of waiting? Holidays, birthdays, or things like the start of a movie or event you’ve been waiting for. Those things have pretty much disappeared since the war started. There’s news that they’ve closed the rift in India. I’m not sure, but I heard that they’re trying in Korea too. But aside from those grand things, I wanted to give you something to look forward to once a week.
MELONMASK: Why, when you guys are no longer attached to life and are about to pull the trigger with a .45 caliber gun on your temple, you might change your mind by saying, “Ah! Today’s live! Apocalypse! Wasn’t it?” Anyway, thank you for your support today, and anyone can become a main character like Dongtan Mom, so don’t be shy and challenge yourself! The door is always open. However, I hope you can tolerate the weird beatboxing.
Surely that beatbox isn’t talking about me?
No, it won’t be.
In any case, the creator of our world, who suddenly appeared and spread fun, excitement, and above all, hope, is in a difficult situation, as he revealed in the introduction.
But it seems that his situation was more serious than expected.
MELON_MASK: ……..I’m going to die soon, though.
The chat window, which had been slow for a moment, became noisy again.
Everyone asked why.
X’De_Grrrrr: Why?
Jekyll: Why?
Hashire V4: Why?
Defender: Why?
siao_Xin : Why?
Anonymous 101: Why?
Rupert_Gauser : Why?
gijayangban : Why?
Thisaki: Why?
SKELTON: Huh?
…
…
I also added my own comment.
However, shortly after sending the message, a warning window popped up.
-For early authorization recovery, please contact our Help Center.
“no.”
What did I do wrong?
Did I get caught?
To a guy named VIVABOTO14 who looks like an ordinary employee and not even a melon mask?
But this is not a situation to be angry.
Before I could even apply for the restoration of my anger authority, Melon Mask told me a shocking story about his current situation.
MELON_MASK: Sorry, but I don’t think I can last another week. I have no food or water. In order to survive, I need to recover the remaining areas, including the cultivation area, but I can’t recover Plus Ultra with my current strength.
Melon Mask’s death is imminent.
In fact, the appearance he revealed himself was not much different from that of a dying person who had suffered from long-term malnutrition.
MELON_MASK: But even without me, Live! The Apocalypse will go on! We will deliver a small gift to Dongtan Mom via a solar-powered ultra-long-distance drone from our headquarters. Then, shall we listen to Dongtan Mom’s message?
Melon Mask granted special chat privileges to Dongtan Mom.
Special chats were placed in the golden spot, lower down from the center of the screen, unlike the regular chats which took up the upper left corner of the screen.
What will our Dongtan mom say?
Yum yum, maybe?
That’s probably the most likely one.
But the chat with Dongtan Mom that actually appeared completely shattered my expectations.
dongtanmom: Why give up?
“?”
dongtanmom: Why are you giving up? Our family that was abandoned in China is still alive. And you have the energy to send us a message, don’t you? If you have any troubles, ask for our help. If we put our wisdom together, we might be able to survive. Viva! Apocalypse! Isn’t that right?
It’s not something that someone who uses equipment from a dead person without paying a single penny to Melon Mask should say, but Dongtan Mom’s voice struck everyone’s heartstrings again after the overwhelming visuals he had shown them at first.
MELON_MASK : Dongtan Mom⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
The melon mask was no exception.
dongtanmom: Tell me about your current situation. There must be other hunters here besides me.
The moment I saw that message, I immediately ran to the settings function and requested a nickname change.
[Would you like to change SKELTON to professor?]
Click!
[Oh no! That nickname already exists!]
“Nimi..”
While I was away for a while, Live! Apocalypse entered a new chapter.
A dark, weightless world.
In the pitch-black space where blackened blood drops still float, Melon Mask seeks to survive with the resources he currently has, receiving advice from bulletin board users including Dongtan Mom.
MELON_MASK: No guns or anything. I have blunt weapons, but they’re beyond my strength. I have a few drones, but since they’re in zero gravity, they can’t change their orbits at will, and their own power, which runs on a 16V battery, can’t even kill zombies.
MELON_MASK: Some assembly is possible.
MELON_MASK: Compressed air? I think there was similar equipment.
MELON_MASK: I’ll give it a try.
Perhaps the most fitting title for that cosmic-scale show would be “Saving Melon Mask”?
