Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 153

Episode 153
“······”
He clenched his fists quietly, without any of the usual cheering.
I finally did it.
I finally got the position I wanted so badly.
As the hardships I had endured to wear the armband flashed before my eyes, I felt the darkness of the bunker surrounding me. I had lived in this silence and darkness for three years.
Completely alone, with no one next to me.
There was no hope or faith in the future.
I just lived.
I was left here for so long because I couldn’t die, because I didn’t want to think about any other way of life.
Actually, there was something else I really wanted.
But that’s something I can’t have.
It’s similar to a human who can’t fly wishing for wings.
If you can’t have those wings, I think you should at least have fake wings.
Let’s look at the bulletin board.
There are a lot of posts, but I haven’t read them all.
Even though I opened my eyes and scrolled down roughly, most of the opinions were negative.
In particular, the word “manipulation” appears in every sentence as if it were a given.
Even though it’s blurry, there are some nicknames that are clearly distinguishable.
dongtanmom: No, does this make sense?
mmmmmmmmm? What is this? Is this manipulation?
berkut_break: An illegitimate monarch is bound to become a tyrant.
I won’t listen to the loser’s opinion.
VIVABOTO14: The detailed voting results are below. Please take a look and give your opinions~
The votes are out.
Let’s check it out.

“····Phew.”
I endured it for ten years.
It was a stroke of genius to prepare 300 spare accounts.
I don’t even want to imagine if they had prepared only 10 as originally planned for Valentine’s Day.
But why cover 302?
The ending is a little concerning, but whatever is good is good.
I already have the armband.
There’s no need to worry about the little things behind the scenes.
Because anything done by humans can always involve errors.
Not long after the results of the election were announced, Valentine, the number one contributor to the victory, sent me a message.
Message from Ballantine: Congratulations, Skeleton!
SKELTON (Skeleton Tears) Thank you. If you ever need anything from me, just call me. I’ll go wherever you are!
Message from Ballantine: I appreciate that, but I have one concern.
SKELTON: Yes? What are you worried about?
A message from Ballantine: You have to let go of a lot to wear the armband.
SKELTON: What?
A message from Ballantine: You need to separate yourself from the forum. I’m saying this because I’m a fairly large site operator and have some experience.
I think I know what you mean by saying that.
He answered with a light smile.
SKELTON: I am Skeleton.
Leaving Valentine’s Day behind, I posted my first diary on the bulletin board to commemorate my becoming the bulletin board administrator.
SKELTON: (Notice) Captain Skelton speaking!
“……”
The heart.
It’s filled.
*
I admit that I wore the armband in an inappropriate way.
I did use a bit of a tricky trick.
But the reason I wore the armband was not for my own personal greed but for a public purpose.

Click click
I can post 6 articles per second.
Being able to post 6 posts is consistent with being able to delete a similar number of posts.
There is no need to explain in detail what is happening in the world due to the current cold weather.
As a backlash, some beggarly people are crawling in from PaleNet and messing up the bulletin boards. There was a time when the water quality was good when PaleNet was reopened, but that was only for a short time.
Soon the bulletin board was overflowing with so many begging posts that it was impossible to enjoy bulletin board life. Only I could quickly and cleanly remove such begging posts.
“······after.”
This is not the only duty of a bulletin board manager.
Among the malignant seeds that flowed in from Palenet, there are not only depraved people who openly suggest prostitution, but also necrophiliacs who continuously upload the corpses of people who died miserably.
It is full of grotesque psychopaths who post extremely sexually explicit photos, rape, cannibalism, torture, and other unspeakably horrible acts and then post them for authentication.
It is also the role of the bulletin board manager to delete and block the posts of these psychopaths.
I have seen all sorts of tragedies in China, so I am indifferent to such things, but not everyone in the world is like me.
Users who are rarely seen on the bulletin board have also expressed their discontent, saying they cannot participate in the bulletin board due to the increasing number of disgusting photos on PaleNet.
It’s so rare for someone who doesn’t write to write at all to do so.
Someone needs to get those disgusting pictures off the bulletin boards.
So my role on the bulletin board is a kind of cleaner.
Waking up earlier than anyone else, he sweeps the bulletin board with a broom, sprays water on it, and scrubs it clean to make it look nice, so that everyone can have a pleasant bulletin board life.
Of course, I have no intention of wearing the armband and lording it over others.
I am a “volunteer” with pure intentions.
Of course, I know that there are a lot of negative opinions about me.
ㅇㅇ: Operator’s armband!
ㅇㅇ: Skeleton manipulation
ㅇㅇ: Operator’s armband, step down!
ㅇㅇ: Who the hell gave Skeleton a vote?!
ㅇㅇ: If it’s a registered vote, can’t you just reveal your ID? It’s possible in the system, right?
ㅇㅇ: Hyunmu! Baekho! Cheong! Run away!!!!!!!
······
······
Everyone suspects foul play.
Well, I wasn’t really that popular.
But was it really worth being this suspicious?
Park Gyu-do was also slightly hurt by the endlessly vicious public opinion.
No, manipulation?
It’s true that it’s manipulation, but isn’t it inconsiderate to say it so blatantly?
Still, there are a few supporters who send me positive opinions in the corners of the bulletin board.
Anonymous 458: Apart from the fact that it’s a bit of a ripoff, it’s good work. As soon as a really weird article is posted, it gets deleted.
Ballantine: I like how clean the bulletin board is.
Defender: One of our captain’s hands seems to be fast.
ㅇㅇ: Did you do it with those quick hands?
······
······
I repeat, I didn’t wear the armband to get praise or special treatment. That’s why I wore the armband.
That’s because I don’t see anyone who is more enthusiastic about managing our bulletin board than I am. If there’s a friend who can do it better and is more enthusiastic than me, I’ll gladly give up my position.
I was enjoying such a faithful life as a captain.
A message has arrived.
Message from VIVA_BOT014: Skeleton
Vivabot?
Why is this woman looking for me?
SKELTON: What’s going on, Vivabat?
Message from VIVA_BOT014: I’ve been getting a lot of feedback from people saying that the voting was rigged, so I’ve been analyzing the voting logs and there are a few strange things going on?
SKELTON: ?
Message from VIVA_BOT014: Do you really not know anything?
SKELTON: (Skeleton straightens) Yes. I don’t know anything.
Message from VIVA_BOT014: Hundreds of accounts that I’ve never logged in before suddenly showed up and voted for Skeleton.
SKELTON: Is that true?
Message from VIVA BOT014: I’m keeping an eye on it for now. I’ll let you know when I get the results~
“no”
Where in the world is there something like this?
Why is a woman who used to work so haphazardly suddenly working so hard?
They say that if you do something that people aren’t used to doing, you die······.
Anyway, one thing is certain.
“……”
My time as captain is running out.
Even a little analysis of the logs will show that 300 tin accounts voted for this Skelven!
SKELTON: (Notice) Captain Skaven speaking!
Since it has come to this, let’s swing our power around without any regrets before we get kicked out.
mmmmmmmmm: ?
hmm?
mmmmmmmmm A fake armband?
m9 This kid, he got caught at just the right time.
mmmmmmmmm: Why do you keep imitating my greeting? Is it not enough to just manipulate the votes?
SKELTON: (Skellon enraged) Have you forgotten who I am?
mmmmmmmmm: Who the hell is that? It’s the fake captain’s armband skeleton~
SKELTON: (Bulletin board manager) Say it again.
mmmmmmmmm:?
SKELTON (Notice) I told you to say it again…………….
mmmmmmmmm: (M9 groaning) Ah, no, why are you suddenly like this? We can joke around between us. Why are you suddenly getting angry?
SKELTON: (Notice) Does the bulletin board manager look like your friend?
mmmmmmmmm: No, you’re the same user. You skeleton bastard. You’re serving without pay, but you’re wearing an armband. Do you think I look like your boss?
Click
SKELTON: (Notice) m9 blocked for 72 hours.
For a moment, the entire bulletin board froze.
No one dares to object.
Anyone stupid enough to not know who’s holding the knife right now would have already died off.
As I look at the quiet bulletin board, I feel like something is filling a dark place I didn’t know about.
“······Phew.”
Is this power?
Power feels good.
Why didn’t I get into politics sooner?
That guy Lee Sang-hoon is having fun doing this all by himself.
So that’s why he died quickly.
SKELTON (Notice) Personal attacks or unfounded suspicions against the bulletin board administrators will result in a 72-hour blocking.
SKELTON: (Notice) Banned words: Manipulation – Forgery – Election Fraud – Hacking – Phoenix – Black Tortoise – White Tiger – Blue Dragon, etc. Any words that metaphorically or imply manipulation will be immediately deleted and blocked for 72 hours.
Besides, I’ve endured it enough so far.
Waking up at dawn and losing sleep over hundreds of malicious comments, I manually delete them one by one. What? Manipulation?
And on top of that, you’re persistent with Vivabot?
You should have done it in moderation.
In my opinion, this board needs order more than love and service.
Only a ruthless, bloodless, and tearless iron fist can cure the rotten nature of our bulletin board friends.
ㅇㅇ: No, isn’t that too much?
Anonymous 458 Real skeleton. This one doesn’t look right.
Anonymous 1702 Really.
Anonymous 1844: Take it easy. Poor Emgu.
ㅇㅇ: Oh my.
Defender: ······.
There are many complaints, but they are all anonymous.
That one was just released.
That must mean he’s afraid of my gaze.
But there are clueless people everywhere.
dongtanmom: Yum yum······ A loner wears an armband and others······do not know their place······.
“?”
Knock knock
SKELTON: Who made that yum sound…?
This skeleton not attaching a horse’s head is a sign of the highest level of anger.
Dongtan Mom is a strange person, but she seems to have some sense.
dongtanmom: ······What are you doing?
SKELTON: Block!!!!!
Do you want to block dongtanmom for 72 hours?>
“······”
SKELTON: (Notice) Due to malicious aggro, Dongtan Mom has been processed for 72 hours. Please follow the bulletin board rules.
Let’s see the bulletin board reactions.
ㅇㅇ: Wow······
Anonymous 458 Skeldon. Isn’t that too much?
unicorn18 : Eek!
Anonymous 1844: Wow······
Yeah yeah: You’re a tyrant, you tyrant ᆞᆞᆞᆞᆞ
Defender: ······.
······
······
I am the only order and law of this board.
No one can stop me.
Why, I went through so much trouble to wear the armband.
Even after becoming the captain, he served harder than anyone else.
Isn’t this something you can do?
While we’re at it, let’s go one step further.
SKELTON: (Notice) Skell’s beatbox “THE FINAL” will be uploaded soon.
SKELTON: (Notice) Please like and comment on Skeleton’s beatbox “THE FINAL”. Those who don’t like or comment will be identified and blocked for 24 hours~
If not now, then when?
Let’s wield the ultimate power before we get kicked out of the armband.
My ambitions, however, were crushed shortly after I posted that article.
VIVA_BOT014 has revoked your manager rights>
“?!”
The notice from Vivabut came right after I lost everything and was kicked out.
VIVA_BOTO14: Oh my. I was hoping, and it was as expected. It was a foolish idea to give armbands to regular users. I tried it just in case, and it was as expected. For that reason, the bulletin board keeper system will be discontinued as of today.
Those who were unfairly blocked by Skelton will be restored immediately, and Skelton······ You know what?
“······”
Should I write a reflection paper?
“Senior~.”
While I was writing a heartfelt letter of reflection, Woo Min-hee contacted me.
“Hey, Minhee, what’s going on?”
Are you really going to nitpick about something that happened during the live?
I responded to the call with a slight sense of annoyance.
“Senior, do you have any anti-tank weapons or vehicles at your house?”
“No, why? Suddenly?”
“They say a new type of looter has appeared in the Chungcheong province.”
As expected, our Lady Woo is an unpredictable person.
Suddenly, valuable information is thrown out.
“They are guys who ride snowmobiles and they attack isolated survivors or small groups at dawn.”
“······okay?”
I haven’t heard it yet.
No, maybe it’s natural not to be able to hear.
If everyone had died from those looters on snowmobiles, no one would have been able to post on the internet.
“Where did you get that information?”
“One of our informants was killed. He was providing information from the Legion-controlled area, and he was killed right after the communication.
They say that even though they were soldiers who had been active on the front lines, they were defeated without a fight. They say that they were also a group of professional soldiers.”
“That’s serious.”
In this harsh world where temperatures drop below minus 40 degrees, there are those who ride snowmobiles and prey on survivors.
It’s a simple reversal of thinking, but it’s extremely lethal.
It’s a story about a world where people die if they don’t heat their homes, and they attack by targeting signs of heating.
They are clearly targeting the enemy, as they attack at the most malicious time of the day, right before dawn.
“When the weather gets warmer, I have something to leave to you. I don’t want you to die this winter. That’s why.”
“······thanks.”
I was so focused on the armband for a moment that I completely forgot about it.
That the world we live in is not such an easy place.
I had briefly forgotten that this was a place where a little carelessness could lead to death and destruction.
“······.”
Still, I have to finish writing the reflection paper.

(mandu***) -Recommendation56-
Minhee is kind… I see her contacting him right away because she was afraid that her senior would block her and she would feel bad about it…
(One Two**) -Recommendation 50-
It’s a bit sad to think that today’s clowning was the professor’s survival instinct to restore Skeleton’s mental state.
Park Gyu-ga looked perfectly fine at the moment, but he suddenly shot him in the face, similar to a colleague from his time in China.
(Meat***) -Recommendation 48-
302 Surface Fake 300 votes, 1 vote for me, 1 vote for Valentine, all the people who really know have turned their backs ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

(lllll****) -Recommendation36-
Wow, I got ready to really kick the blanket today, so I took out 5 winter blankets, but 3 were enough haha
(Practical**) -Recommendation 26-
The episode title is [Tyrant], so it’s about a psychopathic dictator like Kim Jong-un who commits tyranny by piling up supplies in a shelter.
I thought it was going to be a punishing episode and was expecting a brutal old school Hunter Professor…
What the heck is this… This isn’t Hunter Park Gyu!!!!!

(n8974***) -Recommendation 17-
It wasn’t Professor Sunshine but Wind Skeleton who showed Woo Minhee the human mind.
(round***) -Recommendation 13-
When Defender was on the verge of taking revenge on the old Justine, Park Gyu looked at him bitterly and warned him.
I think it would have felt like a reversal if you saw Defender taking a “…” shot.
