Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 159

Episode 159
As the weather warms, it’s not just the ice that melts.
The last of my patience has run out.
According to the reporter, there were attacks by armed groups on government facilities around Christmas.
While there have been previous protests and violence against government facilities, this attack was different in its professionalism and the quality of the equipment.
More than a dozen mortars fired inside the government compound, which was surrounded by barbed wire and concrete walls, and sporadic fire with rockets struck warehouses and outposts.
It is unclear how many casualties there were, but it is certain that the five-minute mortar barrage resulted in dozens of casualties.
According to the story, at that time, a select few were holding a Christmas party inside the walls.
People cite the empowerment of each shelter as a backdrop to the group attack.
After Yang Sang-gil’s fall from power, citizens demanded that a representative be appointed to replace him, but the Incheon government, as before, only gave vague answers and used a strategy of buying time day after day.
Citizens who had already been fooled several times could no longer tolerate it. Each shelter unit formed its own power.
If it were a past government, they would not have just stood by and watched, but now that the government’s power is not what it used to be, they just stood by and watched.
The full story of this incident, which is circulating on Palenet, is that some of the shelters that were empowered received weapons from the Legion faction and caused this incident.
Currently, in Incheon city, tanks, helicopters, and armored vehicles are controlling each road and maintaining strict security, but I am not sure.
Another cold spell is predicted, but will we be able to maintain our vigilance then as we do now?
Public opinion on the Internet is also not good.
Coincidentally, the one at the forefront of the attack is Dongtan Mom Baek Seung-hyun, who is already famous worldwide.
dongtanmom: There were hundreds of empty containers on the deck, and each container could fit four families of three. It wasn’t even a single-story building.
The container house that was built on the fourth floor was packed to the brim with people. Those who have seen off the evacuation fleet will know. It wasn’t transporting livestock, it was transporting bean sprouts.
It might have been better than the African slave transports, but the conditions were just as bad. There was shit everywhere and the smell of urine.
dongtanmom: The ship suddenly stopped. It was in the middle of the night. It was around 2 in the morning. The captain made an announcement. He said that some cabins were leaking water.
I thought it was because my cabin didn’t leak. Soon, the people in the “leaky” cabins came out onto the deck and transferred to another boat. But when I looked at the kids in the leaky cabins, I didn’t see many of them getting wet.
The streets are dark and the night is long, but if there’s someone wet, the floor will also get wet, and that water will definitely catch the starlight and sparkle, but that’s not the case, right?
Dongtan Mom started telling the story of how she went to China.
It may seem like he is simply telling the story of his experiences, but his intention is obvious.
The aim is to criticize the government for abandoning hundreds of thousands of people in China.
His story hasn’t yet covered the part where he went to China, but the level will gradually increase.
His revelations will only fan the flames of anger that are currently burning throughout Incheon.
I think this is Baek Seung-hyun’s typical way.
If you look at the way he keeps his mouth shut and then opens it when he thinks it is to his advantage.
dongtanmom: Why is the atmosphere so cold? Those kids who are going over there, they’re like the typical Ttanttara kids? I heard rumors here and there that they were selected for that reason.
But I still believed in the Republic of Korea. That’s it for today. Yum yum……
His post received hundreds of comments, a spectacle you would expect to see on PaleNet.
There’s no need to look at the comments.
It’s all anger and hatred and screams on the verge of explosion.
In fact, this scene should have happened last year.
This should have happened a long time ago, when the pioneers abandoned the people and so many froze to death.
The patience or gentleness that is unique to Koreans gave me another year, but now even that generosity has reached its limit.
Probably by this time next year, the Incheon government will no longer exist.
I don’t know if there are any special measures, but I don’t know.
Separately from South Korea, which is rushing towards its end, Viva! Apocalypse! is preparing a grand event to celebrate the end of the year.
MELON_MASK: After listening to the opinions of many users, I found out that live requires more resources and manpower than expected.
I also really like Dongtan Mom’s videos, but that’s something only Dongtan Mom can make. 92% of our bulletin board users are reclusive loners, so where are the people?
If you don’t have enough equipment, and on top of that, you don’t have enough equipment and video editing skills, then no one will watch your live broadcast, right?
So, instead of a video, I decided to replace the last live of the year with a photo exhibition to commemorate the end of the year.
They are holding a photo exhibition to wrap up the year.
It’s a photo.
It certainly has a lower barrier to entry than live.
To be honest, I feel like it would be burdensome for an individual user like me to compete with content of such a scale that relies on the power of video experts, background players, and page numbers like Baek Seung-hyun.
Anyone can try photography with just a camera and the right subject, so the barrier to entry is lower than the live broadcast that Dongtan Mom has set high expectations for.
But low barriers to entry mean more competition.
The story goes that even a dog or a cow can jump in.
When it comes to photos, it’s a topic that even older users who don’t move around much might want to try once in a while.
In fact, many of those old users are photography experts.
“······.”
Of course, this skeleton could not be missing from this global festival.
At least on the internet I’m a very active guy.
Traditionally popular photo subjects include historical buildings, children, animals, and nature.
The value of a photograph increases when it reflects the times.
It’s obvious if you think about the M9 before the war.
The gathering hosted by Jonnae-non that day – M9, who never grilled meat at a restaurant but only ate it, is a fool you can see anywhere
M9 of the Destruction Period is treated as an extraordinary human being, although I don’t know for sure, living alone in a slanted apartment.
Perhaps, the keyword for this photo exhibition is the spirit of the times.
This destruction, the civilization and destiny we all share, seems to be the deciding factor in this photo exhibition.
Now that I think about it, I took some photos in the past and they became popular.
There was a photo of the backs of Rebecca and Suu holding hands against the backdrop of the particles dispersing as the giant creature disintegrated when it arrived.
In the photo from two years ago, you can feel the family, the child, the beautiful background, the spirit of the times, and even the universal beauty.
Me two years ago, am I doing pretty well?
But is this enough?
With this level of quality, winning isn’t out of the question.
Is it so common to see a giant piece of paper, with hundreds of thousands of glowing particles swirling around in the middle of the night?
Plus, we have the best models, mother and daughter Rebecca and Sue.
But this victory is, somehow, unimpressive.
If I were in my current state, I could probably do more.
I think I’m a bit more emotional now than I was back then.
It is not unreasonable to say that it is a masterpiece that will touch the hearts of all Viva! Apocalypse! users, much better than the previous masterpieces.
The problem, of course, is the material.
I would appreciate it if a giant bell would appear like it did two years ago, but they are not the type of people who come when called.
I need something that can surpass me from two years ago without the need for a super-large bell. Is there anything good?
While I was pondering the matter, the radio rang.
It’s a defender.
I let out a shallow sigh before receiving the call.
Looks like he’s finally leaving.
It’s complicated, but this too was planned.
I responded to the message, thinking that he would send it to me with a smile.
“Oh, yeah, what’s going on?”
“Skeleton.”
It was affectionate to have the correspondence.
I asked cautiously.
“Are you going now?”
“No, there’s some left.”
“okay?”
“Do you have time for Skeleton?”
“hour?”
“Yeah. Do you want to go to Seoul?”
“seoul?”
A desolate landscape, the city where I was once born and raised but now nothing but ruins, passed before my eyes.
“Why in Seoul?”
“To take a picture.”
*
seoul.
Now the capital has become a ruin with everyone leaving and no one left.
It is definitely a romantic subject.
Da-jeong’s plan is to take several photos using the empty street as a set.
This time, for the Melon Mask-hosted Photo! Apocalypse! entry.
Well, I took a picture of us while I was at it.
“Memories fade, but photos remain, right? And when else would we have the time to take pictures like this?”
Come to think of it, I’ve never taken a single picture with these friends.
“Now that we’ve set our departure date and it might be our last, wouldn’t it be okay to do a day trip?”
It’s a day trip.
It might not be bad.
I happen to have a good item.
Boooo …
This is the Humvee I received from Rebecca and her daughter.
It does eat up a ton of oil, but there is plenty of it.
furthermore.
“Wow, what is this?!”
The Defender siblings reacted just as I expected.
“This is no joke.”
“Why does Skeleton look more awesome today?”
“······A car worthy of Mr. Su.”
As expected, the car is nice and worth seeing.
“Where did you come from?!”
“You said there were American soldiers living next door.”
“They gave this to me? Their hands are big too······.”
While Da-jeong was surprised, Defender looked around the car with a serious face, then knocked on the bonnet and opened his mouth.
“It’s not bad, it’s okay. The engine noise is a bit annoying though.”
He looked at the two of them blankly and asked.
“Who made the heart?”
I was curious.
Who is that cute little guy that put a heart on my Christmas tree?
I thought it would be affectionate, but it seems not.
Dajeong glanced at the Defender.
“······Is that you?”
“sorry”
The defender answered with a blank expression like a murderer.
“ah.”
But there is one more person.
The guy watching from behind the corner of the house.
I think I know without even looking.
This is Heo Jong-cheol, who lives off of Defenderne.
The Defender, conscious of my gaze, asked for my understanding.
“Skeleton, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier, but I think we need a photographer. I really want to keep a picture of the three of us.
There has to be a photographer. And this guy. You know, he’s Awaken. He can definitely tell when he’s ambushed. He’s done some weird stuff before, but he’s a good guy at heart. At heart.”
Defender explains the efficacy of Heo Jong-cheol like the “Effectiveness of Duck Meat” hanging on the wall in the old restaurant.
He thought it was funny that she spoke so quickly and incoherently, and answered leisurely.
“It’s okay if we go together.”
I don’t have any ill feelings towards Heo Jong-cheol personally.
There may be some strange things about humans themselves, but in the end, it was this world that ruined the 18th generation, including Heo Jong-cheol and Defender.
Heo Jong-cheol’s thoughts are not entirely wrong, because as he said, if we kill everyone in Incheon, the rest of the people will be safe, at least in theory.
Besides, now he seems to be reflecting.
Whether I reflect on it or not, this will probably be our last meeting.
Maybe we’ll meet as enemies, but what difference would it make if there were one more?
I also want to leave a photo of me, Defender, and Defender’s younger brother side by side, and I think it’s good.
When I gave my permission, Heo Jong-cheol suddenly bowed at a 90-degree angle to me and apologized passionately.
“I’m sorry I didn’t notice it before!”
“No, it’s okay. Feel free to talk.”
“No, but that famous fr…….”
I looked at him and smiled and said something.
“We are all people in a world that is going to perish anyway, so does that matter?”
That’s how the journey began.
A white-painted Humvee raced across the packed snow toward the devastated capital, its engine roaring.
Defender also has a truck, but the reason I chose the Humvee is because the weather is nice.
Surprisingly, the Humvee is more sensitive to cold temperatures than my motorcycle, and when the weather gets warmer, people get active.
If people are active, it goes without saying that looters and murderers are also active.
If you’re in a Humvee, you’re safe from blind bullets.
In a way, it means that the most dangerous and unfair variables can be blocked at the source.
I asked the Defender as I watched things quickly pass by outside the car window.
“So, when are you going to the Legion side?”
“January 2nd”
“Tomorrow or the day after.”
“uh.”
“Are you ready?”
“Yeah. Just bring your body.”
The one in the passenger seat is a Defender.
He sits comfortably, but his sharp eyes are restless and nervously searching for any possible danger. Behind him are Heo Jong-cheol and Da-jeong, but the distance between them is quite far.
It seems like they’re still not on good terms.
Heo Jong-cheol glanced at her from time to time, but she didn’t seem to have any major complaints.
This guy seems to like Da-jeong.
“Should I put on some music? To get me in the mood for a trip?”
Da-jeong gave her opinion from behind.
Me and the Defender ignored it.
Even if it is a trip, driving while playing exciting music is crossing the line.
Seoul is not a safe place.
There are no people, but new species are walking around.
The ones I named Meatball and Caterpillar.
Seoul was also famous for being home to all sorts of hideous mutations.
I wish everyone would freeze to death, but can things in this world go that way?
The point is that there is no harm in being careful.
Unlike games, there is only one life in real life.
The Humvee arrived in Seoul in half excitement and half caution.
A somewhat sad sight appeared before us: a half-built, giant building on a frozen lake and an abandoned amusement park.
Clank-
He grabbed his gun and got out of the car.
“There’s no one around. I don’t see any mutations.”
Heo Jong-cheol said, looking around with eyes filled with a soft glow.
After being safely secured, Da-jeong got out of the car.
“Hey, it’s over here too.”
She opened her mouth, looking around with eyes filled with memories.
“This neighborhood is so expensive that I haven’t been here many times.”
“You want to take a picture here?”
The atmosphere is not bad.
The image of that half-collapsed, mega-building is particularly striking.
“This place isn’t bad either.”
Today’s cinematographer is Da-jeong.
She looked around with her eyes wide open and a displeased expression on her face, but then suddenly her face brightened and she opened her mouth.
“How about the subway?”

(Bluebull**) -Recommendation 50-
It’s so cruel because I think there will be an episode where Defender blindly trusts people and follows them like his father and then regrets it.
What’s the difference between the father who trusted the owner and the defender Jong-cheol trusted?
(Antimatter**) -Recommendation 45-
Suddenly going to the Legion faction is unsettling, but the photo…? Don’t die, Defender…
(now**) -Recommendation38-
Ah, I hope Park Gyu is happy. It looks like he’s going to eat pork cutlet before his surgery. ㅠㅠ
(One Two**) -Recommendation 36-
Come to think of it, I don’t think both Suune and Defender knew that they were going to leave.
I wish I could come back because I can’t leave Skeleton alone
(Bluebull**) -Recommendation34-
Defender hates his own father and doesn’t know that he is following in his footsteps…
It is not wrong to trust others, but in a world where it turns into sin, it is not me but my family who pays the price.
Father is mother, Defender is affectionate..
(Kir***) -Recommendation 22-
Somehow I’m becoming more and more anxious about Jongcheol…
(Suga**) -Recommendation 16-
I’m getting anxious because they’re raising flags more and more openly…
If this continues, we’ll all die and Professor Awaken will awaken.
(Gubne**) -Recommendation 13-
If Defender disappears, Jongcheol will probably force Dajeong to do it.
(k5546***) -Recommendation 12-
Da-jeong is a very kind person.. In the apocalypse, you can’t go underground.
(SIN***) -Recommendation 12-
I hope that even if I go to the Defender Legion faction, the worst will not happen…
I think it would be the saddest if the defender came to kill the skeleton
(Ex*****) -Recommendation 10-
If you kill Jeongho and Dajeong, I’ll shit with my pants on
(Duwangwan****) -Recommendation 7-
Why are you so impatient that you can’t even set up a flag? Everyone around you
Everyone in the comments here is anxious ㄷㄷ
(***Dad) -Recommendation 6-
Lotte World… If you imagine the tower being torn in half, it really feels like an apocalypse.
(Passionate***) -Recommendation 5-
Where on earth do you get your episode material from?
I am still amazed today.
(Ro****) -Recommendation 2-
Surprisingly, Jongcheol is a true lover, so he might die in her place.
(Banggu Seok***) -Recommendation 2-
It’s near my house lol
