Chapter 286 – Loud Hazing
“That’s amazing…”
“The scale is definitely different…”
As soon as they get off the plane, Kim Hyun-joon and Kim Ji-hoon look around the airport and stick out their tongues.
Not only them, but everyone on the plane couldn’t help but stick out their tongues.
A huge barrier built behind the airport.
A barrier much taller and thicker than the 8-meter-tall Yongsan Shelter is built high enough to enclose not only the airport but also the large city of Melbourne.
Its length alone is 80 km.
The only part not covered by the barrier is Port Phillip, a harbor south of Melbourne, and all the buildings outside the barrier are shattered and laid on the ground.
Because it could have served as a ladder for monsters.
“Amy, how many people are there exactly?”
“Including you, there are 1,232,472 people.”
“… “
Camilla at a loss for words.
Not a thousand, but ten million.
A staggering number of people, little more than the population of Seoul.
Therefore, the most valuable thing here in Melbourne is a house where you can stay.
Offices, warehouses, shopping malls, stores, and other places where they could avoid the rain and wind were always filled with people, and those who came to Melbourne late had to build a new house or give a huge amount of coins to those who settled first to buy or rent the house. Do.
Of course, there were people who made huge profits in the process, but the joint army, which is the control tower here, does not intervene to that point, intervenes only when crimes or rule violations occur, and sometimes only uses force to mobilize, and is operated like a real government.
“Hey… Looks like nothing happened here…”
“Iknow, right…”
First of all, people heading to the control tower in downtown Melbourne.
However, rather than walking or using a means of transportation such as a helicopter, dozens of buses that have come to meet you at the airport are running down the road.
“Brother! I feel really good about coming here!”
“Mi, Minseo unnie! It’s a clothing store over there!!”
“What?!!”
Min-seo immediately responds to Na-yeon’s cry, and moves over to the seat across from her until she gets on the bus.
Not only Min-seo, but all the women on the bus looked at the shops filling the street, filled with clothes, bags, shoes, and underwear that would satisfy women’s needs, and her eyes twinkled.
But Melbourne wasn’t just a city that attracted women’s attention.
The city is also home to sports events that you might not be able to see now, such as soccer, basketball, baseball, American football, and cricket.
And it was a place where you could enjoy entertainment and pleasure all day and night.
Of course, it took so many people’s sacrifices to establish this position, and it was only possible because there were still people fighting for their lives outside the barriers.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t have any special benefits.
They were just a job that was respected and respected by people, and those who did not are living in society by earning their own way.
A perfect society where monsters and people coexist.
“But that doesn’t mean the city isn’t without its downsides.”
“What are the downsides?”
“In a stable life, people are giving up fighting monsters one by one. It’s because I don’t think I have to fight for my life.”
“Why is that? Didn’t you say you had enough defensive troops?”
“Yes. But what if it just keeps getting smaller?”
“Ah… “
“And coins that people use instead of money. It can only be obtained by killing monsters. However, if people who risk their lives and fight for a moment don’t get involved in people’s lives and just use the store, this society will collapse.”
At Amy’s words, Camilla nodded her head.
Monsters are constantly getting stronger, and people are stagnant.
If people who gave up fighting the monsters because of the gap that widened went out to earn coins themselves, a huge sacrifice would follow.
And the power gap that is emerging instead of the gap between the rich and the poor.
The gap is creating huge inequality among people, and even if they use the difference to cause problems, there is no strong punishment.
That’s why Amy emphasized that she should not cause trouble when communicating via satellite phone, and that she must abide by the rules and laws.
Because the control became more difficult after the focal point of James Carter, who was able to suppress people with power to some extent, disappeared.
“Ah… I guess he was a good person? Righteous?”
“Yes. Always upright and right… He was such a nice guy.”
“… It’s a little different from someone else. Well, Hajin is also sure of her own values.”
Amy asked, staring at Ha-jin, who was looking out the window passing by with Camilla.
“What kind of person is this Hajin? Until James gets back, is he the one who can take his place?”
“… Hajin?”
“Yes.”
“Ah… I’m sorry, but don’t expect too much. It’s good if World War 3 doesn’t happen… “
“Yes?”
“Heh heh… No. But are you still far away?”
The bus stops on the side of the road just before Camilla’s words are finished.
And the people who got off the bus looked up at the soaring high-rise building with their heads held high.
This is the allied control tower.
There were people from all over the world, so Koreans and Chinese as well as various people were working as interpreters, and the people at the shelter, which were divided into Koreans, Americans, and Chinese, followed the interpreter, heard about the rules and what to observe, and then went into a simple examination. .
As for being an inspector, there wasn’t much of a difference.
As in the Yongsan Shelter, people’s personal information was recorded, and after examining whether there were any physical symptoms that could cause them to turn into monsters, they checked the information window and recorded their stats and characteristics.
Because it has so many different characteristics, it was a necessary procedure to arrest criminals based on people’s characteristics when a crime occurred.
“By the way, is your sister from Korea?”
“No. She is a former international student in Australia.”
“Ah… “
“By the way, Ms. Lia, can I ask you something?”
“Yes, ask.”
“That monster… Are you really okay?”
“Will you cover?”
“Weir?”
“Ah, my name is Daegari. Is it special? Hehe~”
“Yes… Little…”
Min Cho-hee, one of the Korean interpreters, looks at the head with a worried expression.
However, when she saw Lee Da-sol and the Elementary Commandos fighting and fooling around, she withdrew her worried gaze and said.
“By the way, where will you be staying?”
“You haven’t decided on that yet?”
“Ah… I didn’t explain that. There is no dictate where to stay here. She just needs to stay where she wants to stay. Ah! Except for those joining the Allied Forces.”
In Melbourne, people are free to choose where they live.
However, the city, where the safest allied control tower is located, had no place to stay by those who preoccupied it in advance, so those who arrived late were inevitably pushed out.
“Then what should I do..?”
“If you look around and don’t find a place you really like, come to Koreatown.”
“Is there a place like that?”
“Yes, they come from so many different countries, and people from the same country or similar regions live together, except for downtown areas.”
“I see… Then where is Koreatown?”
“It’s a town along the beach called Altona.”
“A beach? Wow!!”
Unlike Lia, who likes the word beach, Min Cho-hee has a bitter expression.
Like her expression, she is a beach because she likes to talk. The beach located in the harbor has no barriers, and monsters come through it day and night.
Furthermore, the area called Altona was cut in half by the barrier.
That means it’s the frontline area that’s in contact with the barrier.
So, one of the most dangerous areas in Melbourne was Altona.
“What?! Really?”
“Does that make sense?!”
“Crazy… “
“Let’s go quickly!”
“… Why are you doing that..?”
Unlike Min Cho-hee, who tilted her head and moved her eyes after them, Lia was delighted to share the news she had heard with others.
The reason why the soldiers are running is because it was obvious without looking at it.
And there, as Lia expected, soldiers and inspectors were whispering around Ha Jin.
“Ah, fuck… What kind of zoo monkey am I?! Did everyone watch it?!”
“Calm down.”
“Brother, come down~”
“Hey, hang on! It’s just because it’s amazing!”
“What are you holding back?! It feels like shit, really..! Hey, interpreter man!”
“Yes… Yes?”
“Translate. If it doesn’t go out within 3 seconds, they’ll pluck out all your eyes.”
“… Me?”
“Shall I take yours first?”
“Oh no!! Everyone go! If you don’t go within three seconds, I’ll pluck out your eyes!”
Soldiers and inspectors gossip without pretending to hear despite the shouts of the interpreter.
And Ha-jin, whose face was distorted and veins sprouted on his forehead, slowly got up and walked in front of a soldier who was the size of Jackson.
“Fuck off, you bastard.”
“… What?”
“Wat is what the hell is.”
Swoop- Gap!
Ha-jin’s left hand, which was slowly lifted up, grabbed the soldier’s shoulder, and at that moment, a desperate scream rang through the prosecutor’s office.
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
Kwaaaaak!!!!
“Quaaaaa”
The soldier’s screams became more desperate as the strength in his hands gradually increased.
And his colleagues, who had been stunned for a moment, screamed and swung their fists and feet at Ha-jin.
“Denzel!!”
“Leave it! You crazy bastard!!”
“How dare this bastard..!!”
For now, two fists and one foot flew from the nearest place.
Swoop- Swish!!
A fist flying from the right and Ha-jin strikes down his raised right arm toward his foot.
Awesome!!!
Awesome!!!
With a terrifying bone sound, the soldier’s arm, covered in thick muscle, was broken, and the shin that stretched under it was also broken.
And on the face of the soldier swinging his fist from the left…
Kwajik!!!
He swung the soldier who was holding him by the shoulder and struck the back of his nose with the shiny top of his head.
Then, the silence of the prosecutor who came in an instant.
And Paul and his team, who arrived late, quickly grasped the unfolding situation and intervened between Ha Jin and the soldiers.
“What happened?!”
“That is… Therefore… I told them to turn it off, but it didn’t turn off…”
Paul, who had been briefed on the situation by the interpreter, blinked his eyes blankly for a moment, then sighed and grabbed Ha-jin’s wrist, who was still holding the soldier’s shoulder.
“Let go.”
“You want me to let go…?”
“I’ll let you go, so tell them to turn it all off.”
“I’ll let you go, so everything goes off…”
“… Everyone disbanded. Oh, and there’s also a face I haven’t seen before. I’m Paul Smith. It’s all off when you say nice things.”
Upon hearing the name Paul Smith, the soldiers showed a slight agitation and left the inspection site one by one, and the inspectors quickly returned to their seats clearing their throats.
“Whoa… Are you done now?”
“It’s okay.”
Swoop-
Dump!
“Keugh..! You bastard..!!”
“Take this idiot with you.”
“Yes.”
“Follow me.”
Paul’s teammates took the soldier with his eyes wide open and grabbed the shoulder that Hajin had let go of, and left the prosecutor’s office, and Paul asked the interpreter for a more detailed explanation.
“Ah… Therefore… It feels bad to watch… “
“Did you do that for just that reason? Why else? Didn’t you make discriminatory remarks or make provocations?”
“There wasn’t anything like that…?”
“… “
After hearing her detailed explanation, Ha-jin turned around with a pleasant smile, unlike Paul, who was more absurd.
“What the hell has this been like since the first day..!”
“Yes, bro. How important are first impressions…”
“On the first day, I have to tell you what kind of person I am so there is nothing bothering me. And are you dating? First impressions?”
Kwon Joo-hyeok, who sighed while looking at Ha-jin, who responded to Kim Hyun-joon and Kim Ji-hoon’s words in turn, also helped.
“Eh… I’m more worried about the future…”
“Hey, honestly, I have nothing to worry about.”
“You are funny! There is no one else to worry about but you?!”
“Okay? I have the ones I’m most worried about. They have no thoughts.”
“What..? Who are you talking about?”
“Who is who? Those colts.”
“… “
“… “
“… “
At Ha-jin’s words, not only Kwon Joo-hyuk, but also Kim Hyun-joon and Kim Ji-hoon blinked her eyes blankly.
Because I forgot about Ha Jin’s worries.
The existence of the most worrisome guys, the elementary school special forces…
And the annoying sound you hear.
“What are you, Lee Bural?”
“This old bastard..!”
“Hey! Catch that bastard!!!”
“Break your legs first! Hang on and lose!”
“Ha… These idiots…”
“Kheelheel~ Kill it! This body will eat what you eat!”
In this way, the loudest declaration ceremony in history was held at the Allied Control Tower.
