Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 140

Episode 140
72. Unicorn18 (1)
It’s now been three years since the war began.
The current temperature is minus 10 degrees.
In the past, headlines would have been filled with news about underwear selling like hotcakes and the lack of reserve power, but by today’s standards, it’s warm weather.
I finally came out, shook off the blanket, and disinfected my room with sunlight.
I looked around the surrounding mountains and rivers dyed white while drinking hot mixed coffee.
As always, it’s a wasteland with nothing.
Except for the occasional wild animal sighting, the scenery is so unchanging that it feels like time has stopped.
I patrolled the area, checking the conditions as the winter sunlight seeped into every corner of Evil.
After the patrol is over, we mount a transport cart on the back of our motorcycle and head down to the valley.
Because the weather is like this, the stream water is frozen like an ice rink. We take out the electric drill loaded on the cart and make holes in the ice, and use a hammer and chisel with both hands to separate the ice, pull it with a hook, and load it onto the cart.
That big chunk of ice is the water we’ll be using today.
The water tank side somehow managed to survive the sub-zero temperatures thanks to its own insulation measures, but the pipes that pump groundwater from the water tank side were frozen, so I had to refill the water by hand every morning.
I’ve recently taken up the hobby of leaving the radio on while I’m working.
There are many frequencies I listen to, but the one I enjoy listening to the most is the regular broadcast of the Legion Wave.
Because there is music, there is a story, and there is a voice that is pleasant to listen to.
“It’s a rare warm day. According to the weather forecast, this warm weather will last for about four days. Samhansaon. I really miss those words these days.
When I think of winter, the food that comes to mind is naengmyeon (cold noodles) and jeon (spicy pancakes) that go well with naengmyeon. Instead of the so-called Samdaemyeonok (spicy noodles), I like the naengmyeon restaurant run by a displaced person in Dongdaemun Market.”
I have no idea who is currently in charge of propaganda for the Legion, but I get the impression that he is a fairly sophisticated person.
Rather than criticizing the Incheon government, it is about continuously revealing their affluence and leisure.
When I listen to the broadcast, the recent tragedy in Incheon that has been posted on Paynet sounds like something from a distant world.
It is said that in Incheon these days, gunfights, not protests, are taking place frequently.
It is not a battle by the military.
Random people shooting random people.
Corpses are strewn everywhere, and fires burning the corpses are rising throughout the city.
The struggle of all against all that was seen in the outskirts of Seoul in the past is being reproduced in Incheon. Perhaps the absence of hope has taken away the last of people’s patience.
At a time when the island of hope called Jeju Island was revealed to be an illusion.
The city’s security is still barely maintained, but judging by the information posted on Palenet, it is only getting more and more dangerous. The aftereffects have inevitably spread to our bulletin board as well.
ㅇㅇ: She’s pretty and young. I’m looking for someone to take her with me. (Photo by Yu)
ㅇㅇ: Former idol trainee // Only those who have a bunker
ㅇㅇ: I modeled it~ Anyone who can bring it~
Minjaepapa: I’m really sorry, but is there anyone who can save our family? I’ll pay it forward and serve for the rest of my life! Please! ᅲᅲ
ㅇㅇ: Former actress.
…
…
People are selling themselves.
This is from the bulletin board of the doomsday group, once the most despised and pointed at group in South Korea.
Maybe that’s why I’ve been a little afraid to write lately.
SKELTON: (Skeleton yawning) Haaaaaaam~
Even in this kind of useless nonsense,
Minjaepapa SEKLTON! Where do you live? I’m a father of a seven-year-old. My child and wife are dying. Please, please, can you help my family? Yes? I’ll do whatever you say!
This kind of begging follows.
It’s not just me.
Keystone! We are a family of four, me, my wife, and my son and daughter. We are good people who listen well. Please take us in. We will be more than worth the food!
ㅇㅇ: Anonymous 458, where are you? Are you close? How big is the bunker there? Do you have enough food?
ㅇㅇ Foxgames! Excuse me, but where do you live? It’s really scary here, I can’t live. Could you please take my family in?
…
…
Every time our bulletin board users write a post, the outcasts of Palenet follow them around and call out their nicknames.
Of course, there are exceptions.
mmmmmmmmm: (Recruiting new subscribers for The Hope) Come on~ Come on~ Come on~ Come on~ Irasshaimase~
mmmmmmmmm: Why aren’t you commenting on me? It’s so warm here.
dongtanmom: Yum……
However, these are extremely rare exceptions.
The current atmosphere of the bulletin board is so bleak and sticky that it is impossible to write anything.
To be honest,
It’s disgusting.
Did John Nae-non foresee this future when he poked a hole between our message board and PaleNet?
Iron Frog –
The thick ice fell away.
After securing it in advance, they connected a chain and pulled it up forcefully, putting it on a cart.
Empty-
I don’t think so.
John Nannon’s insight would not have reached that far.
After all, human insight has its limits.
Likewise, patience has its limits.
unicorn 18: You guys, do your best!
Unicorn 18 was shocked.
That friend, who would only write nonsense even if war broke out, the world collapsed, or the sky fell, finally got angry.
unicorn18 Is this a refugee board?! Why can’t you tell your dirty and vulgar stories somewhere else? Why should we be responsible for your lives?
They say even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I also added a comment after the righteous lion of Unicorn 18.
SKELTON: (Skeleton Anger) Right! I wholeheartedly agree with Unicorn 18’s statement!
But there is no way to go against the trend.
The screams of Unicorn 18 were soon buried under more, more gritty writing, leaving no trace.
Even this cry of anger was nothing more than a straw to be grasped at by those whose lives were in danger.
ㅇㅇ: SKELTON! Please! There’s a car too! Just tell me the location!
SKELTON! My child is dying. If you don’t help, my child will die!
ㅇㅇ: I have never lied in my life. SKELTON. Can you please just let my family survive this winter? I swear it on everything.
…
…
I thought that this shouldn’t be happening.
Our bulletin board was created for users to pool their wisdom and strength to prepare for the future in the age of destruction, not for people I don’t know to scream for help.
“Skeleton. The message boards are a bit cloudy these days, aren’t they?”
It looks like Da-jeong is also raising both hands and feet.
“I’m going to have to leave the forum for a bit. I need to prepare some live content. Do you want to help Skeleton?”
“No, I can’t appear live.”
“Why? I think a skeleton would be enough, but try to catch the mutation. We’ll take a picture of it.”
“Ah, there are circumstances that make it so.”
To be honest, I feel like Woo Min-hee is 90% caught up in this situation, so I can’t reveal any more of my information. However, Woo Min-hee is also annoyed by the current situation.
gijayangban: Look at the bulletin board⋯⋯.
A consensus began to flow among our bulletin board users that things couldn’t go on like this.
Anonymous 458: Can someone please block PaleNet? It’s fucking fucking annoying.
Anonymous 1181: Seriously, you fucking bastards. The ones who treated us like lunatics before the war are now begging for our lives because they’re about to freeze to death lol
Berkut_Break: It’s clear that our board is now broken to the point where it can’t function as it should. Who should tell Melon?
It’s a very unfortunate story, but Melon Mask is in a state of refusal to receive messages.
Anonymous 458: If the text doesn’t reach Melon Mask, can’t you send it to another operator?
Anonymous 424: When you do Live! Apocalypse!, it seems like there’s an operator, Vivabot.
tntn_Orthopedics: I just sent it to them and they are rejecting it too?
RkkaRa: So, do you mean I have to wait until the live?
There are 5 days left until the live.
5 days.
It may be a short time, but it will be a long time for our bulletin board users who look at the bulletin board all day in this cold winter. And on top of that.
Defender: Because of the PaleNet guys, we can’t see the requests for help from our bulletin board guys.
As the Defender said.
On our bulletin board, there have already been many friends complaining about food and fuel shortages since summer.
It seems that many of them have joined Diesirae, but I don’t know the truth because I have already blocked them. I know that they are somehow surviving by helping each other on nearby bulletin boards.
The value of a PaleNet user’s life and that of a user on our bulletin board may not be different, but at least they are different within our bulletin board.
We saw the same future, thought the same things, prepared bunkers and similar shelters, prepared for the apocalypse, and for the past three years, somehow we found common ground by reading the same posts on the same bulletin board.
If we need to save someone, shouldn’t our bulletin board users be given priority over PaleNet users?
However, if things continue like this, it will be impossible to properly participate in the bulletin board, let alone help fellow bulletin board users.
Someone had to draw the sword.
I have a knife.
There probably will be.
There is a certain fate between me and Viva.
Also, that Melon Mask thief bastard owes me money.
SKELTON: (Skeleton’s resignation) I will negotiate with the operator!!!
No one commented on my post, but I got one heart.
It’s the Defender’s.
I don’t know if that heart belongs to the Defender or to Da-jeong.
After submitting the application, I sent a message to Vivabot.
SKELTON: Wait, do you have time?
A reply came from Vivabot soon.
VIVABOTO14: Did you receive the package?
It seems I’m being treated specially.
It seems that Vivabot, which other people have refused to receive, is willing to talk to me.
Well, let’s consider it a kind of reward for all the hard work you’ve done in the past and for your contributions to the advancement of mankind. He got straight to the point.
A Korean user has created a hole in Viva! Apocalypse! that connects to a private site called Palenet, and through that hole, numerous malicious users are entering and muddying the waters.
It’s a shame that my Jonnaeanon is breaking the bridge between PaleNet and Viva! Apocalypse!, but if we leave it like this, our bulletin board will die.
Perhaps this trend could lead to the Viva! Apocalypse! user hunt that has already happened several times.
If you open the lid and look at the articles that say things like “He’s a former celebrity” or “He’s an idol” that you saw this morning, you might find that they were written by men armed with guns or clubs.
SKELTON: Anyway, the situation is this serious.
I wrote a long explanation and waited for Vivabot’s response.
There is no word from Viva.
After briefly checking the water tank status and returning to my seat, I found a text message from Vivabot.
VIVA_BOTO14: That’s a big deal. I had a similar request before.
“hmm?”
Similar requests?
Has anyone else besides me consulted Vivabot about this issue?
But that doesn’t work, right?
Melon and Vivabot are likely to manage messages by only allowing messages from registered users, rather than refusing to receive random messages.
I can talk to Vivabuddha because I received permission to do so in advance.
But I don’t know if anyone else has made a similar request.
Are you Dongtan Mom?
If you’re a Dongtan mom, you deserve it.
He is the popular guy who wrote the first Live! Apocalypse so brilliantly.
SKELTON: Are you Dongtan Mom?
VIVA_BOTO14: Huh? Why Dongtan Mom all of a sudden?
SKELTON: No, I’m the one who asked about blocking PaleNet.
VIVABOTO14: No.
SKELTON: Who is it? Then?
VIVA_BOT014: Are you curious?
SKELTON: Yes.
VIVA_BOT014: Mr. Skeleton, why don’t you try making some content? Then I can tell you about it.
SKELTON: Beatbox?
VIVA_BOT014: You are one of only 12 people in the world who possess the Golden Fleece. Wouldn’t it be helpful to upload videos of you catching mutations and such to improve the quality of your live broadcasts?
SKELTON: What about beatboxing?
VIVA_BOTO14 : Block?
“……”
This woman is no pushover.
Surely it’s not AI?
Well, I confirmed with my own eyes that it was a person.
I took a deep breath and asked her the question again.
SKELTON: Let’s think about it. Hunting. So who? The one who asked the question besides me.
Promises are meant to be broken.
however,
VIVA_BOT014: unicorn18.
“uh?”
An unexpected answer came out.
“Unicorn18………?”
Unicorn18.
Not an ordinary user.
The exact position is at the bottom of the community similar to this skeleton.
Aren’t you always talking about pretty girl anime that no one cares about? Aren’t you looking for an innocent woman in this terrible era where rape is commonplace? A slightly lacking user who once clung to me and acted cute.
But that friend is exchanging messages with Vivabot.
I checked the spelling to see if I had seen it wrong.
right.
It’s unicorn18.
Feeling very confused, I asked Vivabot again.
SKELTON: Unicorn 18? Really…..?
VIVA_BOTO14: Yes. Really? But what is that disbelieving reaction?
SKELTON: No, do you think that user would send a message to Vivabot? He’s just an aggro user.
VIVA_BOTO14: I used to think that way too. But you really don’t know?
SKELTON: What is it?
VIVA_BOTO14: That unicorn guy also has the golden fleece.
SKELTON:?
VIVA_BOT014: Seriously, don’t you know each other?
“……”
It feels like I’ve been hit hard in the back of my head.
Unicorn 18 is the holder of the golden fleece.
The total number of Golden Fleece, the token of a S-class hunter, is 12.
Three returned to Korea.
One of them went to me, and the other two went to Kang Han-min and Na Hye-in respectively.
So they are also S-class hunters.
Because before they came along, the concept of Awaken didn’t exist.
In a way, it’s like free riding.
Could that be the reason? Not long after Kang Han-min and Na Hye-in received the Golden Fleece, the Hunter system was reorganized and the S-class Hunters, including the Golden Fleece, disappeared like a mirage.
By the way, Unicorn 18, a bulletin board user I know very well, has the golden fleece.
SKELTON: What is Unicorn 18’s real name? Is it Kang?
VIVA_BOT014: No. During the first live, he only authenticated the Golden Fleece and did something weird, so I blocked him for 24 hours. I don’t know his name, face, or gender.
There are two main possibilities.
Whether the golden fleece certified by Unicorn18 is real or fake.
But if the Golden Fleece is real, then the identity of Unicorn 18 is once again a binary choice.
Are you Kang Han-min?
Is it Na Hye-in?
In my opinion, Unicorn 18 is closer to Kang Han-min than Na Hye-in.
Seriously, Kang Hanmin
Has it been on our bulletin board all along?
Are you saying that you spent three years in the same space as me?
“……”
My heart is beating fast.

(properly**) -Recommendation113-
The Republic of Korea will be ruined because the two golden fleece people are acting like that.

If it was Na Hye-in like this, it would be really funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅌㅌㅋㅋ
(now*) -Recommendation 47-
I saw a comment that someone predicted that Unicorn18 would be Kang Han-min. Is that true?
(Simple*) -Recommendation 36-
But considering what Kang Han-min has done so far, it seems plausible…even in the past
I have a history of being aggro-drag queen in the community lol. How can someone like that quit the community?
(One Two**) -Recommendation 17-
Is there the greatest gallery in Earth history where two S-class Hunters exist?
