Chapter 262 – Preparing for War

[This is an area where the store is not available.]

“… “

Because of this message that pops up in front of my eyes, in a place where I can’t even buy a cheap flashlight, I’m just passing the time I don’t know how much.
Exactly how long has it been?
I’ve slept twice since I came here, so I think it’s the third day, but I can’t say for sure.
It’s impossible for me, who fell in a place like this, to wake up after sleeping like I usually do.

“… Isn’t that another?”

A place where there is no danger except dark, quiet and lonely.
And even if I’m sleeping, because of my sixth sense, if a dangerous situation arises, the power of the characteristic will wake me up on its own, so there’s no reason why I can’t sleep as usual just because it’s a dangerous place.

“Fuck anyway! If you dragged it all the way here, why don’t you send a boss mob to play with it! Or even tie him up and torture him! You pervert bastard!!”

No matter how much I shouted, the answer never came.
I know now too.
That no matter what kind of fucking light I throw here, there’s no answer or change.
But it’s too frustrating and boring to stay still.
To the point where it really pisses me off.

“If you’re going to do this, play a drama that will drive you straight! Fuck… Isn’t this just trying to drive people crazy and commit suicide in this way?”

Are you really going crazy?
Now I have all sorts of thoughts.
Wait for a sec.
If you’re pretending to be dead, why don’t you come and check it out?

Dump-

“… “

I passed the time without even breathing as I lay down on the floor like a shrimp, sliding my body to the side.
30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes…

“Puha!! Huh..! Huh..! Fuck!!!! What the hell do you want from me… “

Hwareuk!!
Hwaruk- Hwaruk- Hwaruk- Hwaruk- Hwaruk- Hwaruk-

“Fire… It’s fire!! It’s fire!! Puhahahaha!!!”

The flames that appear in the air as if lighting a torch are lined up in two lines, creating a straight path as if asking me to follow them.
Is it a trap?
If I follow the path created by those sparks, isn’t there a huge monster waiting for me?

Swish- Tadat!

I stood up lightly bouncing my back.

“Then I have to go~ hehe… “

No matter what.
Even if hell unfolds at the end of the road that those flames guide, it will be less boring than now if there is only one thing to beat.

Jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-

***

There are only 3 days left until the war in Lia’s dream unfolds, and it is the 9th day since Ha-jin disappears.

“You stupid child…! Where the hell did you go…!”

Kim Hyeon-joon, who had been muttering as if grinding his teeth while clenching his fists, let out a deep breath and calmed down his heart calmly as he watched the people pouring in.

“Chairman, the old man! Did the captain really disappear?!”
“You’re right right now, just kidding around. So be quiet.”
“You’re asking out of curiosity!”

Among the Elementary Commandos, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and Yeongdamin 6th were banned from entering.
In fact, he intended to ban No. 1 from entering the conference room and only allow No. 5 into the conference room, but thanks to the riot, claiming that he was the leader of the elementary school special forces, he was finally allowed to enter the conference room up to No. 5 as a guardian.

“No. 1, from now on, before you say anything, get permission from No. 5. If you make noise again, it’s okay.”
“Mr..! I’m a lot stronger now… Aww!! I will be quiet!!”
“Ha…”

In the end, Kim Hyun-jun, who jumped over the large meeting room table as if flying in the sky, rather than having a honey night, No. 1, who had his fist pierced the top of his head, wrapped his head tightly and closed his mouth. Did.

“Now then, let me explain why I asked everyone to gather like this today. As some or most of you may already know, according to Iria-san’s dream, a large-scale war will break out here in three days.”

As soon as Kim Hyun-joon finished speaking, people started to stir.
Of course, Choi Ho-il and other general representatives and Camilla and other American representatives were not particularly agitated, but the Chinese who risked their lives to Korea were different.
Among the 1.4 billion Chinese people, reflecting the situation at the time, even though there were many strong people as strong as Hajin, they could not stop the advance of the three kings who joined forces.

“How do you know that? Are these monsters from China? This person is asking.”
“I don’t know for sure until then. And… “
“I will explain how you know.”
“Thank you.”

Yeo Min-jung, who is fluent in Chinese, explained to the Chinese representative about Lia’s ability to foresee the future through dreams, and thanks to this, Kim Hyun-joon was able to continue the meeting.

“As you all know, that stupid bastard… No, Kang Ha-jin is missing. There’s no word yet on where they went, whether they’re safe, or whether they’ll be able to come back, and if they want to defend the shelter, there’s a very good chance they’ll have to fight the monsters without being strong.”
“This, can you win..?”
“It’s hard to give you an answer until you see it for yourself.”
“I guess… Sorry. You asked a stupid question.”
“No. I understand you are anxious. That’s why we called today’s meeting.”

Kim Hyun-joon, who read the questioner with words saying that it was okay, turned his head to look at Min-seo and Ju-ha attending the meeting, then turned his gaze back to the people and said.

“The current shelter was built and protected with your blood, sweat, and the lives of those who died. As such, there is no safer place in Korea than here, and there is no place where people can live as well as here. If you abandon the shelter and leave, you’ll have to start all over again. The process may be easier than it is now, or it may be incomparably more difficult.”
“Wait! What do you want to say, captain, that we fight monsters without Kang Ha-jin to protect the shelter?”
“It is about making a choice. Stay and fight the monsters to protect the shelter, or leave in search of safety. Instead, if we were to leave the shelter, our destination would not be Korea.”
“It’s not Korea..? What do you mean?”
“Currently, all three helicopters are mobilizing to locate the monsters. However, if monsters enter Korea from China or other countries mentioned above, war with monsters will become an unavoidable reality no matter where they flee in Korea.”
“There is a limit to running away from Korea, so let’s move on to another country, isn’t that what you mean?”
“Yes.”

At Yeo Min-jung’s words, which neatly summarized the situation, this time, even the Chinese and the survivors of the existing shelter started to stir.
Move to another country
Where?
How?

“There are monsters like serpents in the Han River, but there must be bigger and stronger monsters in the sea! If the idea is to cross the sea by boat, that’s impossible! It’s a monster, because even if you kill it, if the ship is destroyed, everyone will die.”
“Then using a helicopter?!”
“Helicopters do not fly as long as airplanes. And the sky is not without monsters! No matter where you go to the island, it is certain that such a place will be full of flying monsters. Therefore, helicopters are more dangerous than ships. If the monsters even run into the propeller, that’s it.”

Land, sky, sea, and even underground.
Monsters exist everywhere.
Still, people have gotten a lot stronger, and now with the shelter’s power, it shouldn’t be a problem to move anywhere.
Of course, if you move on your own two feet without relying on a means of transportation.

“If you want to escape, you have to be somewhere within walking distance…” So you’re saying you have to move in the country after all?!”
“Or go over to North Korea and go to China or Russia.”
“Let’s go to Russia this winter?! They all want to freeze to death! And when I hunted with them, they were really strong. Let’s go to China, where people like that fled. That’s even more nonsense!”
“Then, in the end, there is only one conclusion. Stay and fight.”
“… “
“… “

Those who raised their voices and shouted among themselves eventually reached a conclusion.
To stay and defend the shelter and fight.
And this was the reason Kim Hyeon-joon held a meeting with a larger number of people than usual without expressing any opinion.
To allow each person to make their own conclusions and decisions and choose what remains in the shelter.
It’s a different mindset than choosing to remain at the shelter after accepting that there is no place to escape from being left by someone else’s decision.
However, Kim Hyeon-jun was not as afraid or anxious about the upcoming war as people are.

“I understand that everyone is mentally anxious and worried just because there is no Kang Ha-jin. But believe me. You are strong enough to overcome the hardships to come.”
“That’s right. Hyunjoon’s brother… No, like the captain said, everyone has become a lot stronger, right? And even without Ha-jin oppa, there is the captain, there is head, there is Jackson oppa, there is Ji-hoon, the vice-captain and us, and there are reliable kids here. Monsters? Say oh ‘Cause we’re gonna destroy them all Right, Juha?”
“Yes, of course.”
“You’re right! Queen No. 1 Mama!”
“… Don’t call me that.”
“All right. Mama compared to the Great King No. 1.”
“Wanna die?!!”
“Oh my god..!!”

Tadat!!!

People laughed at the sight of Minseo screaming and jumping up and turning around and exiting the meeting room.
It’s okay for people to fight against monsters that are more dangerous than themselves, but it’s a little funny to think of them being in a state full of worries only for them to deal with small fish.

“Then we’ll get up and see. There are only a few days left, but I have to become a little stronger.”
“So, let’s go hunting! Even if strong guys come, how strong will they be?”
“That’s right. These are the guys we’re dealing with. Rather, this time, let’s quickly deal with the small rodents and set the ball properly! Captain, if you’re going to fight, you’re betting something like a reward, right?”
“Yes, it is.”

Seeing the people who seemed to have overcome their fear and regained their energy, Kim Hyun-joon smiled softly while answering, and at that moment, a loud propeller sound rang out.

Doo doo doo doo doo!!!!!

The helicopter flew over the outer wall of the shelter and landed on the roof of the headquarters building, and at the same time, an urgent voice flowed from Kim Hyun-jun’s radio.

– Captain! The monsters have been located!
“Where is your current location?”
– Our current location is about 100 kilometers north of Pyongyang! And the exact number… Impossible to comprehend.
“You mean too many to grasp? Or do you mean you didn’t figure it out?”
– It’s an incomprehensibly large number.
“I get it. Notify the control room. Currently, all non-combat personnel are transferred to the underground bunker in Yeouido. Supply ample supplies and thoroughly seal the entrance.”
-All right.
“And from now on, a level 1 emergency alert system will be maintained. Hurry up the installation of additional outer walls and install 5 additional guard posts to the north. Also, close the hunting grounds in the north and make sure to control the entrance.”
-All right.

After finishing the radio call, Kim Hyun-jun turned his head to Ahn Tae-jin, who was next to him.

“Vice-captain.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Relocate all explosives to the north, except for the collapsed buildings Leah said she saw in her dream. And buy all the explosives with the available taxes and deploy them further.”
“I understand, Captain.”

Kim Hyeon-joon, who quickly gave all the current necessary orders, checked the back of Ahn Tae-jin as he left the meeting room, and then asked Min-seo and Ju-ha, who were still in their seats.

“The head?”
“This kid left the house excitedly because he didn’t have Hajin oppa?! Just come in…!”
“Couldn’t you have gone to take sides with the other monsters…?”
“No. Gary isn’t that bad, and he’s not that stupid either. Then Ha-jin oppa comes, I know I’ll be beaten to death, but is that so? If I went to fight alone first, then I went to fight… “
“No way… “
“This stupid bastard…! Brother! Let the helicopter fly!!”

Min-seo urgently shouted for the helicopter to fly, and at that time, the head, which had disappeared since yesterday, was lying flat in the mountains densely filled with trees.

“Whoah~~~ I’m afraid he won’t come.”
