Hiding the House in the Apocalypse Episode 347

141. Review

Current temperature is 5 degrees.

It’s snowing even though the weather is relatively warm.

The weather is changeable.

Warm days and cold nights.

The snow falls and melts, and the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly.

The vast plains except for the road were turned into mudflats.

The refugees that were often seen are nowhere to be seen, and all around is quiet.

The snow that was falling in the sky soon turned into rain.

It’s inefficient to be outside on a day like this.

“I’m taking a day off from work today. Everyone, please rest comfortably at home.”

Today, everyone rested.

They didn’t even post a sentry.

Any kind of vigilance can be replaced by surveillance equipment, and the weather is such that neither humans nor mutations want to move.

Well, if it’s a guy who picks weather like this to attack, then I guess I’ll have to suffer.

It’s a good day to be on the internet.

Due to a series of events that have been happening around me over the past few days, I’ve neglected to log into the bulletin boards and have missed a few hot topics.

I can quickly catch up with the progress of the bulletin board by picking out a few of the most popular posts that were recently uploaded and reading them, but sometimes I feel like slowly catching up with issues from a point in time when I didn’t know about them.

Isn’t going back one of the fun things in life?

This is what is called a review.

Slurp slurp–

I ground the coffee beans left by my friend, Mr. Dragon, and brewed coffee.

There aren’t many left now.

I probably won’t get to savor the flavor of these fragrant, once-in-a-lifetime beans again until this winter is over.

With a cup of fragrant coffee, I went to the popular articles and started reviewing the parts I had missed.

Here is the main culprit that made me think of the romantic plan called review.

It’s the melon mask.

When the invasion of Necropolis began, Melon Mask showed no reaction.

It wasn’t until two weeks later that Melon Mask made its first public appearance.

MELON_MASK : Not happy

He didn’t look very happy.

In the following article, he mentioned several factors that were currently making him unhappy, and surprisingly, the Necropolis, which I had worried about, was not a big factor.

What really weighed down the melon mask was health concerns.

MELON_MASK: The decrease in muscle mass and bone density, and the increase in intracranial and intraocular pressure when staying in a zero-gravity environment for a long period of time were problems that were expected before coming here, and we prepared medication and programs for them, but as everyone knows, the duration of my space stay is more than twice that of the previous Guinness World Record holder.

MELON_MASK: I’ve felt it before, but now I can see it for sure. My body itself is dying. I feel it anew every day, as each and every cell loses its function.

MELON_MASK: After much thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have no choice but to return to Earth in order to survive. Humans are designed to live under gravity. Of course, I know that the situation on Earth is not ideal. But isn’t it better than slowly dying here?

In the following article, Melon Mask reveals the current status of his partner, Bumpy.

The ferocious sloth mutation was floating like a water drop in the dark area, its eyes closed.

I don’t know his exact condition, but he looks to be in poor health.

It has been revealed that even mutations cannot survive in the extreme environment of space.

Melon Mask spoke bitterly about this, revealing a sad, obviously aged face.

MELON_MASK: In the end, the story is that we, the creatures of Earth, cannot live outside of Earth. There are no chains or bars, but from the moment we are born, we are bound to Earth and destined to die.

MELON_MASK: Humans are more insignificant than we imagine.

Our world’s creator, Melon Mask, may not die immediately, but he won’t live long either.

To improve his health, he must go to Earth, the planet he was born on.

But we know that the chances of him going to Earth are slim.

Inside his space shelter, there is a rocket that will take him to Earth, but maintaining and adjusting it is a task, and even if he arrives safely on Earth, it is difficult to guarantee survival.

About 40 percent of the habitable area has been eroded.

The rest of the realm is a haven for all manner of marauders, murderers, and mutations, and even if you miraculously avoid them, you’ll have to struggle to survive in the harsh environment that is Mother Nature.

MELON_MASK: I won’t go to Earth like before, but I think I need to think of a way now.

MELON_MASK: I’ve gotten the OK from the rocket technicians at headquarters, but the problem is what happens after it gets to Earth. The landing site after entering the atmosphere is in the middle of the ocean, and there are no warships or anything to escort it. I’d like to hear everyone’s opinions on this.

MELON_MASK: I will also actively listen to the opinions of my friends from Necropolis, so whatever is good. Inspire me. Give me hope that I can live.

It’s an interesting story, but it’s not really my story.

Because I don’t own a ship that sails the ocean, nor do I have any knowledge of aerospace technology.

I just understood that Melon Mask’s plan to return to Earth was now explicitly in progress.

The next issue is our school’s bulletin board star, Baek Seung-hyun.

Baek Seung-hyun, who had only occasionally posted survival reports since arriving at Scrap Island, posted a large number of posts while we watched the fight of the neighboring refugees.

dongtanmom: This is the reality of Korea.

The giant oil tanker Hope, carrying Dongtan Mom and 868 people, arrived in the waters off Jeju.

What came out to greet them were two warships with a chilling atmosphere.

“I warn you. Return immediately. You will be given one hour to leave this area immediately!”

The difference between a slow-moving ship that can barely move and a modern warship armed with guns and missiles is obvious.

Baek Seung-hyun’s wife used a loudspeaker to request relief supplies.

“Everyone is starving and we’ve run out of water. Can’t you give us water, food, and even some relief supplies?! Even if you give us a small corner of the island, we won’t go, so can’t you give us anything?”

She, who had been a young wife who knew nothing about iron, now radiated a strong energy that was comparable to that of her husband.

“We are all citizens of the same Republic of Korea!”

Whether her words were convincing or to ease the Hope’s return, a Jeju naval ship sent relief supplies using a drone.

dongtanmom: This is the hospitality of Jeju.

The relief supplies were very meager.

Starch powder that appears to be an improved version of a nutritional bar, a bandage made from recycled resin, and a white anti-inflammatory pain reliever.

Even though there were over 500 people on board, they only provided enough food for about 30 people.

After sending a very small amount of relief supplies, the warships resumed their show of force, circling the Hope in a threatening manner.

“No further support is possible. Return immediately. I repeat. No further support is possible. Return immediately.”

dogntanmom: Maybe you could say you were lucky just by not killing it.

Baek Seung-hyun turns around and that’s where his short series ends.

Although he did not reveal his next destination, people expected him to sail south.

At least the cold wave will not reach the southern seas as much.

I’m also curious about where my senior Baek Seung-hyun will go.

It’s not that I’m compatible with him and I don’t find him personally attractive, but my small wish is that he lives a long life.

In a sense, that gentleman would be one of the people who is fighting the hardest in the midst of the destruction where everything is falling apart.

I looked at my watch and went outside.

The raindrops have thinned out.

The ground was so muddy that we changed our shoes into boots and climbed the hill that seemed to be the guardian deity of our territory.

On the hill, there is a makeshift outpost and observatory built by Ha Tae-hoon.

To block the wind, we built a perimeter with plywood and created a small shelter in the corner covered with plastic.

I stepped onto the wooden, solidly reinforced observation platform and looked around.

No one approaches as expected.

It’s not the rain that’s the problem, it’s the land itself.

Unless it’s a solidly paved road, the area outside the road is filled with mud flats that can reach up to your ankles.

If anyone were approaching right now, they would take the road, but few people would want to be active in these weather conditions, as everyone values ​​their own lives.

Only those with a clear purpose will be able to overcome these adverse weather conditions.

When my body cooled down a bit, I went back into the bunker.

From the chimney of the winter house built in front of the bunker, the fragrant aroma of baking bread was coming out along with white steam.

As we entered the bunker, Rebecca and her daughter came to us.

“Skeleton. Try this.”

Rebecca held out a freshly baked loaf of bread.

It was a loaf of bread that was completely different from the bread I saw at the bakery, and had blackened spots in it.

When I tasted it, a mild flavor rather than a sweet one coated my tongue.

The inside of the skin is not soft, but rather sticky and stretchy, like eating dumplings.

Still, it’s freshly baked bread.

I usually eat meals that focus on nutrition rather than taste.

It can’t be tasteless.

“Are you okay?”

“I made this to test out my new oven. Next time I’ll try mixing in some other ingredients.”

“good.”

I resumed reviewing the bulletin board while eating the bread Rebecca had given me.

In fact, I already noticed from the moment I sat down in front of my laptop that this issue was the hottest topic on the bulletin boards recently.

The moment I opened the bulletin board, everyone was talking about that topic.

armeegruppe_B : About the Seoul Reconstruction Plan

Kim Byeong-cheol posted the article.

This diehard soldier with a particularly strong obsession with Seoul is planning to revive the capital of South Korea once again, despite its past failures.

Even though he had a powerful group and resources called the Legion Faction, he failed. If you think about it carefully, it was not because he had a powerful group or because he was lucky.

The so-called Legion Faction is nothing more than a loose alliance of warlords.

The moment he loses the support of the warlords, Kim Byung-chul is reduced to an ordinary warlord A, neither here nor there.

An unfortunate monster eruption dampened Kim Byung-chul’s ambitions, and the civil war that followed demoted him from a major warlord to a minor warlord, but despite this, Kim Byung-chul is now advocating a plan to revive Seoul with even greater enthusiasm than before.

That must be the biggest confidence.

armeegruppe_B: The 14th level Awaken, Woo Min-hee, the director of the National Research Institute (administrator level), who stands shoulder to shoulder with the saviors Kang Han-min and Na Hye-in, has decided to help rebuild Seoul.

Woo Min-hee and Kim Byeong-cheol joined hands.

To be exact, Kim Byeong-cheol would be Woo Min-hee’s subcontractor.

However, the fact that Kim Byung-chul is talking about this publicly in Viva! Apocalypse!, which Woo Min-hee is clearly watching, is in line with Woo Min-hee’s will, or at least, Woo Min-hee’s acceptance of this matter.

Woo Min-hee, who had been exercising strong influence while living on the outskirts of Incheon, but had been living in seclusion near Paju, has finally broken his long silence and come to the forefront of the times.

I want to know her true feelings, but Woo Min-hee’s personality is such that she will never give me an answer unless I tell her first.

armeegruppe_B: As you know, the government’s asset warehouse contains not only enough supplies to feed hundreds of thousands of people for years, but also various facilities to survive on their own in a long-term disaster situation like the current one.

armeegruppe_B: The governments of the past looked down on people, but now it’s different. We need people. People who can acknowledge this hellish situation, forget the past, and sacrifice today for a better future.

The world goes on while we only see the danger right in front of us and focus our attention on it.

Kim Byeong-cheol’s reconstruction of Seoul naturally had a great impact on many people.

Of course, the ones who filled the bulletin board were not our bulletin board friends, but the dead.

Deadman4452(KOR): This time, something feels good?

Dead Man 992 (KOR): Woo Min-hee? I remember hearing about it. Although he’s not as famous as Kang Han-min, I heard he’s one of the top five Awakeners in the world.

Dead9913(KOR): Whoever it is, if it’s a Savior-level Awaken, isn’t that enough? At least they can somehow deal with those damn monsters, right?

Dead Man 483 (KOR): Winter has just begun, but it seems like the long-awaited spring is coming at the same time.

…

…

Many users are responding positively.

This shows how highly rated the official Over 10 Level Awaken is.

But of course, there are negative opinions as well.

Dead88215 (KOR): I’ll stay with our group. I’ve been moving around like a bat, but it hasn’t been a good experience.

Dead1411(KOR): I don’t know. There are a lot of warlords in Gangwon-do, right? What if those guys come?

Dead832(KOR): I’ve already been fooled by the South Korean government three times. That damn Jeju Island, that damn lottery, that damn refugee fleet. I’ve been betrayed all of them. I guess I was lucky in the case of the refugee fleet. Haha.

Dead33113 (KOR): If you’re in a stable group, I don’t think you need to risk your life and gamble. Everyone, just stay calm. Kim Byeong-cheol is a guy who’s already been screwed twice.

…

…

As I read the articles that came up like a swarm of bees, I thought of John Nae-non and Valentine’s Day once again.

“······.”

It is because of their sacrifice that the current trend can exist.

If Necropolis had not come to Korea, and if it had not been able to gather people to a fancy place called Viva! Apocalypse! through Necropolis, it would have been impossible to post a “notice” like this in this time of destruction.

Kim Byeong-cheol and Woo Min-hee’s intentions seem like a good thing to me right now.

All you have to do is let it flow and see what results come later.

“······.”

As soon as I posted, I hit refresh and tried to find my post buried in a flood of dead people.

One post caught my eye as if by fate.

It came from a word that was very familiar, yet rarely encountered.

A_FOOL : Status.jpg

He is a rare bulletin board user in the flood of the dead, and I was interested in his nickname because it was my first time seeing him.

But nicknames have a special meaning.

FOOL.

It is the widely known call sign of Kang Han-min.

But if you ask me if that is Kang Hanmin’s exact call sign, I would say no.

The truth is this.

When Jang Gi-yeong gave Kang Han-min the call sign “FOOL,” which means fool or clown, Kang did not refuse the dishonorable call sign, but rather smiled naturally and demanded that the article “a” be added in front of his call sign.

A friend of mine, now deceased, who knew English well, once mockingly remarked that he didn’t understand why he asked for the indefinite article “a” instead of the definite article “the” to refer to a specific object, but the call sign A_FOOL soon became legendary.

“······.”

Is it Kang Hyeon-min?
