Hiding the House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 71



42. paradise (4)

clap.

Everything comes at a price.

I felt that the time to fight for the cause or the fate of the world had already passed, but if the trajectory is in line with my survival, wouldn’t it be fighting for the cause?

I checked the weapon and checked the saro.

I removed the shakyongdo and other things to make it the same as the shakyongdo while digging a death trap in my shelter.

You must prepare for battle.

It’s not that I intend to use my stronghold as a defensive base.

If the soon-to-be National Assembly troops fail to drive out that group, probably those friends belonging to the Legion, it is obvious that sparks will fly against me.

At that time, you won’t be able to cheat with a three-inch tongue.

They will probably drive me harshly, search everything, and maybe even torture me.

While I was painting candles on the stairs leading down to the main air-raid shelter, Ji Young-hee came to visit me.

I moved to the camouflage house and greeted her.

“The blood test results came back. I tried over the radio, but there was no reply.”

“I’m suddenly not feeling well.”

“Do you have a cold?”

“It seems to have a similar energy.”

“You should get well soon. Oh, by the way, Hunter Park, will you continue to live there? It bothers me that a competent person like Hunter Park is living in a place like this.”

“are you okay. Actually, my knees are bad. I can’t walk much.”

He lied as if he was breathing, examining her face.

Still businesslike and mechanical face.

She looked like a doll that was beautiful but somehow devoid of humanity.

In the past, the humanity that secretly resented his father, or something like that, feels diluted.

Even if she hadn’t suffered badly, this would also be the change the war had left her.

Ji Young-hee looked at me in the shade and said.

“Are you interested in the Legionnaires?”

“no. I am not interested in either group. Shall I say I’m tired? It doesn’t fit well with organizational life.”

“okay. I am going to go.”

She handed me the blood test results.

Results are normal.

Rebecca and Sue don’t have any big problems.

However, Rebecca said her liver level was not good, so she enclosed a pill to improve her liver level.

With the added warning that it is to be taken one tablet per day, after meals.

Moments later, vehicles, including trailers and trucks, left the scene.

The big cars disappeared, but workers repairing the runway and technicians restoring the plane were busy moving on the runway.

There are a lot of people, but what catches my eye is a white plane that is absurdly beautiful in this terrible world.

Now with two wings, it seemed to fly gracefully at any time.

I suddenly thought.

If you could get on that plane, where would you go?

These are the questions and answers I had with Park Cheol-ju.

Is India good?

They said the rift was closed.

But I have to go there, I am a stranger.

In a way, the caste system is a system that is as cruel as monsters, and it is people who divide each other’s classes.

Wouldn’t it be treated like a monkey that a foreigner with a different appearance should go?

What about the Ogasawara Islands?

I had no idea, but after hearing Chairman Park Cheol-joo’s words, I became interested.

But even if you go there, things won’t be much different.

Since I can’t speak a word of Japanese, I’ll still be a stranger.

Even in Korea, is there a place for me, a stranger, to go?

As I wandered through the fortified air-raid shelter, I found a laptop that had been put away in a corner and opened it.

＜Viva! Apocalypse! Korean Board＞

I saw insignificant articles coming up still.

“······hmm.”

yes, here it is

this is my paradise

let’s put it like that

If you think deeply, you will only get mental illness.

*

The walkie-talkie rang loudly from early morning.

“This is Colonel Cho Seong-yong of the 21st Pioneer Corps. Can you hear me? This is Colonel Cho Seong-yong of the 21st Pioneer Corps. The area you are occupying without permission is land that has been granted to our Pioneer Corps. We retain all rights except for the use, profit and disposal of the land. yet again······.”

I quickly washed my face and checked my sympathy outside.

“……f*ck.”

Disappointing power arrived that made me swear in my mouth.

It is a pioneering team.

Minhee Woo, did you have any thoughts?

Sending such rubbish at the point where the other party presumed to be legionnaires.

The core of Legionnaires is not equipment.

Their heart is the seasoned soldiers who have gone through all the battles.

All of the writers who I witnessed as bodyguards of Park Cheol-joo were former soldiers with rich experience in combat.

Probably not like a bodyguard.

Legionnaires.

Everyone, including Kim Pil-seong, is a legionnaire.

How can a chaebol whose house has been destroyed and become a beggar hold on to a powerful bodyguard?

Is that why you pretended to be crazy?

While various thoughts came to my mind, I watched the situation.

Cho Sung-yong brought about ten vehicles, including one armored personnel carrier.

“I will start the search now. We would be obliged for your cooperation.”

Pioneers wearing armbands approached the US military base.

bang!

A sharp gunshot was heard.

A scream of despair rang out.

“aaagh!”

A high-pitched scream of pain.

“aaa!!”

It’s horrifyingly high and long.

Maybe the shooter induced this scream.

went up the hill

Indeed, a man was lying on the floor, screaming terribly. There was blood all over the floor.

“go away.”

Pilseong Kim’s voice rang through the walkie-talkie.

“I’ll just get on the plane and go. Our president is going to Japan, but why are you so intrusive? no fun.”

Workers at the airport were loading heavy nuclear warheads into the fuselage while the K-walkie-talkie rang incessantly.

The nuclear warhead was dotted with electronic devices that appeared to be detonators that had never existed before.

I also noticed that people who looked like technicians seemed to be explaining something to people who looked like pilots.

Looking at the busy yet orderly response, it seems that the family of Minhee Woo and I is gradually becoming a reality.

“These people~. You can’t understand the language. I will use my skills as I did not comply with the eviction order.”

Cho Sung-yong’s voice rang through the walkie-talkie.

What on earth do you believe in and say such things?

After a while, Jo Sung-yong’s confidence was revealed.

boo woo woo woo-

it’s a helicopter

A combat helicopter is flying this way.

“See? Can you see? b*tches? All of you are behind!”

Jo Seong-yong laughed with his subordinates.

Certainly, it is no exaggeration to say that combat helicopters are angels of death against small combatants.

fast, strong and hard.

But before it could reach the scene, a sharp roar was heard in the eastern sky.

“ah.”

A sigh, presumably from the Pioneer Corps, came from the radio.

It is an anti-aircraft missile.

Anti-aircraft missiles flew straight across the sky towards the helicopter.

The combat helicopter tried to evade maneuvers, but was hit by a missile flying at Mach speed and exploded in the air.

“Is the skill event over?”

Pil-seong Kim’s mockery resounded before the scattering debris even fell to the floor.

this made it clear

There was already a 99% chance, but these guys.

100% legionnaires.

It sounds like an army.

It was probably because they had radar networks all over the place, and as soon as helicopters appeared, they fired surface-to-air missiles waiting dozens of kilometers away.

Maybe fighters were also deployed in the sky that we can’t see.

that’s the army

The most powerful violence that humans have.

To deal with such an army, this side must also face it with an army.

It’s very simple common sense, but Woo Min-hee didn’t do that.

What is certain is that my fate is at stake.

“Park Hunter~ Park Hunter~.”

Pilseong Kim is calling me.

are doubting me

This is a warning message.

No, maybe, it might be proof that you can afford to find me in this situation.

just as expected.

uh- uh- uh–

An ominous sound, like the howling of a ghost, came from the sky.

I immediately ran into the shelter and prepared for the commotion that was about to happen.

bang! Kwak! bang!

bang!

It’s a long-range bombardment.

155mm shrapnel bombs struck the frontier camp as if measured with a ruler.

Few can stand up to the firepower of artillery.

Even monsters melt, let alone humans.

“retreat! retreat!”

Those who survived in the frenzy turned around and tried to run away, but ironically, the artillery shells chased after them, considering the speed of their retreat.

Only two of the ten vehicles managed to escape.

What was left were countless shell holes, black ash, and bodies scattered beyond recognition.

“The worms have swollen livers.”

Pilseong Kim refined his voice.

“Park Kyu. Are you there? Can I talk to you for a second?”

Didn’t answer.

No need to.

It’s just to let you know that I’m here.

I, Park Gyu, left this place.

He fled from this realm without a word.

A few drones soared into the sky.

They were carefully scanned in all directions around my stomach house.

“Park Kyu. Come out if you’re listening. You could have pushed something. i can forgive Let’s just get one thrush? huh? Really. I have no intention of killing Why did you kill the professor?”

“…”

“Come to us. Come as legionnaires. We can be treated in Legionnaires too. There are also Awakens here, but they don’t try to catch monsters. We’ve got work to do. I don’t think you know what I mean, but that’s how the world is. No, who knew that so many North Korean kids would come over?”

Pilseong Kim keeps talking.

I just listened.

will only listen

Until this storm passes.

Soldiers soon appeared in my domain.

They searched the camouflage house nervously.

There was the sound of things breaking and kicking against the walls of the container.

“be careful. There should be booby traps around here.”

Kim Pil-seong’s voice is heard from the wiretapping device.

The guy is close.

My comrade who competed with me for cold weapons is looking for me in a nearby place.

There are no booby traps except for bombs planted in dummy shelters.

At least nothing was made to look like a trap to be seen.

There are tricks such as traps that cleverly adjust angles and steps to break ankles, and shrubs and weeds in front of cliffs to create optical illusions that make people take a wrong step, but no artifacts are installed.

Because the greatest defense of my realm is stealth itself.

The death trap is inside the air-raid shelter.

I checked the trip wire on the Craymore and double checked the connections on the button to which the remote detonator was connected.

beep-beep-

The motion detection sensor blinked incessantly.

east west north south. across all directions.

“Nothing.”

“I’ve been looking for ventilation or something, but I can’t find anything like that.”

“There are no signs of survivors on the sewer side either.”

A wiretapping device relayed their conversation to me.

Soon, Pilseong Kim heard his voice.

“What about drones?”

“I haven’t found it yet.”

“There is a high possibility of hiding in the bushes. Since you’re naked anyway, assume you’re moving on foot and scan the area intensively. I wouldn’t have gone far.”

Immediately after hearing that voice, the walkie-talkie rang.

“Park Kyu. Isn’t that Daram Kim?”

“…”

“The cheeky girl who was even a member of the committee. Ah, now you are the colonel.”

“…”

“It was made by Colonel Kim. that he planned I bought nuclear weapons from the Chinese to wipe out those bastards who used us happily and vomited up.”

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Is it because of my mood?

Bad assumptions or imaginations always come true.

The face of my junior, who brought her family to my shelter and was surprised to see my toilet, flashes before my eyes.

Why did you make that choice?

Could there be any other way?

Would she have made the same choice if my toilet had been in a different place?

You never know.

She looked at me and said I looked young.

I’m not so stupid that I don’t know that it’s a bony mockery.

I, who suffered various difficulties in the field and faced a crisis, ran away from the battlefield and leisurely built an air-raid shelter.

It’s different now.

My juniors have never looked so young.

The voice of Kim Pil-sung came from the wiretapping device.

“Call Daram Kim. what? Are you busy? It wasn’t bullsh*t, it was Park Gyu who blew it. Connect now!”

After a moment of silence, the radio rang again.

“hey. Park Gyu.”

“…”

“Are you here? huh?”

“…”

“Daram Kim said that you live in an air-raid shelter here? huh? Shall we start playing hide and seek?”

I let out the last sigh remaining in my lungs and opened my eyes.

and said

“······we are here.”

One of Hunter’s iron rules injected by Jang Ki-young passed by as if drawn.

“Come and kill me.”

stand aloof before death

I’ll say it differently.

I won’t die ugly

I will not be caught and slaughtered like pigs and dogs.

I will injure and bite even one more person until I die.
