Chapter 2165 – 2165. Eternal Eden

“Mr. Seong Yu-jin. “Can I talk to you for a moment?”

A neat-looking man wearing a suit spoke to me. It’s a good impression, so it’s a first impression that people of all ages will like him.

I knew who he was. It was impossible to tell that he was a man who had recently become famous. More than half of the reason he is famous is because of his handsome face, but the other half is because he is a rising star.

“This is Dooho Doo, the brown bear from Gyeonggi-do.”

“Oh. Do you know me?”

“I’ve seen it on the news so many times, how could I not know? Of course, your performance was also impressive. “He fought the giant mutant one-on-one and won.”

“It was a little small to be called a giant variant, but… I did win.”

Doo-ho Doo, as his nickname “Brown bear” Suggests, is an awakened person with the ability to transform into a brown bear. From what I could see, the brown bear was definitely not an ordinary brown bear, but a brown bear with enhanced physical capabilities. There’s no way an ordinary brown bear can deal with a mutant.

“What business do you have for me?”

I didn’t want to get involved with Han Doo-ho if possible. Because if a handsome guy is next to me, the spotlight is taken away. The proverb that gives an ugly person an extra piece of rice is bullshit. In reality, handsome guys eat more and play better.

“You seem to be more impatient than you look.”

“The bus will leave soon. As you have to deal with monsters, you also need to be mentally prepared. “It’s something you risk your life for.”

“You’re not wrong. Well then, let me be blunt. I plan to found the Korea Awakened Federation, an organization for the rights and interests of awakened people. Seong Yujin. Won’t you join me? It would be of great help if Seong Yu-jin were to join us.”

Awakened League? I know it just by hearing the name. The goal is to create an organization similar to the real-life Hunter Association.

But will that work in this world? The biggest problem is that the number of awakened people is small. There are probably less than 10,000 awakened people in the current Republic of Korea. And the power of the awakened person is not that great.

In reality, there were hunters with powers called natural disasters. Even if he was just an A-class hunter, he was stronger than any battalion-level unit. I was able to be treated well because I had power. Who are the awakened people of this world? Right now, even just me, I won’t be able to reach a C-level hunter.

Calculation result. The Awakened Alliance causes more harm than good.

“I’m sorry, but I have an organization that I am responsible for.”

“I’m not saying to abandon Seongak Elementary School. “You can just lend me your name for now.”

“Sorry. The Awakened League isn’t very attractive. “I will leave.”

“… The Awakened Alliance is an organization for awakened people. We never know when the South Korean government will try to control the awakened. We need to prepare, even if only to prepare for the worst.”

“Haha. Mr. Doo-ho, you worry too much. The Korean government is friendly to the awakened. In that sense, the Awakened Alliance may be seen as hostile to the government.”

“The current government may be friendly to the awakened, but there is no telling how the next government will change. So we need to come together and prepare in advance.”

“I don’t think it’s too late to think about that.”

My will was firm. In the end, Han Doo-ho sighed. It was a sigh of giving up.

“Sung Yu-jin, you don’t care about fellow awakened people. He was disappointed.”

“I was disappointed too. Aren’t we just blindly creating an Awakened League? “Is this really an organization that protects the rights and interests of awakened people?”

“… Hmm. “You don’t trust me.”

“We met for the first time today. Mr. Han Doo-ho discussed the creation of the Awakened Alliance. How do I trust Doo-ho Doo?”

“… This is embarrassing. I will admit my mistake. Still, the Awakened Alliance will definitely be created. If you are interested, please contact me later.”

Han Doo-ho left behind a business card. Looking at his red face, he seemed really embarrassed.

The business card he received was roughly stuffed into his pocket.

There will be no need to join the Awakened League in the future. At first glance, it seems like an organization that doesn’t have much power.

Eventually, the bus arrived at the entrance of Sunwol Large Hospital. When I got off the bus, I was greeted by reporters with cameras and citizens who came out to see the sights. This was possible because the large Sunwol hospital was located near the city center.

‘Looking at this, it seems like the countryside is better than Seoul. ‘The last time I saw Busan, it was in pretty good shape.’

Seoul has not yet secured enough security for citizens to move freely. Since it was a place with a population of close to 10 million people, there were zombies and mutants lurking everywhere in Seoul.

“Awakened people! Aren’t you afraid?!”

“How do you support Gwangju?”

“Please say a word to the citizens of Gwangju who are watching!”

Reporters made a fuss. It was amazing in a way. Even though the large hospital in front of me is full of mutations and mutants.

‘Do they not think that a variant could emerge and attack them?’

Do you completely believe that the military and police surrounding Sunwol Large Hospital will protect you?

Either way it looked stupid.

Of course, I hide this thought. Because there is a camera in front. He answered the interview with sincerity and a friendly smile.

“I ran to Gwangju one step at a time for the citizens of Gwangju. I’m not afraid of mutations at all. I will protect the citizens of Gwangju!”

Shout out proudly. Reporters and citizens gave me thunderous applause.

“Seong Yujin! Seong Yu-jin!”

“Zeus of Seoul!”

“Rain God Seong Yu-jin!!”

Citizens chant my name. To me, they looked like tickets. The vote that will make me president.

“Okay, okay, this is the end of the interview time.”

The police showed up and cleared the place. They took us to a tent set up at the entrance.

• • •

“This is a variant that has taken over a large hospital in Sunwol.”

A man in a police uniform played a video on a TV screen. It was a video taken by a reconnaissance drone.

There was a picture of a 2 m tall woman with long hair. There were four breasts on her back, and her hands were two to three times larger than those of an adult male. Just by looking at her appearance, she was a terrible female monster.

“We call this monster Catherine.”

There was a name tag hanging around the monster’s neck. The name written on the nametag is Catherine. When she was human, she seemed like a foreigner.

“Catherine acts secretly and without warning. Please be careful about that. Additionally, Catherine’s main mode of attack is by grabbing and crushing with her hands. The steel drone could not resist her, and she was crushed.”

The human body is weaker than steel. The moment she was caught by Catherine, she was supposed to die.

“The mutants in the hospital are monster rats that have mutated from rats. It is 50 cm in size, moves around at a similar speed to a dog, and is highly aggressive. “Be careful because saliva has paralyzing properties.”

The police briefing ended. All the awakened people decided to move together. In the current situation, it was judged that it would be dangerous to disperse.

Before starting the operation, Doo Ho Doo took out the camera from his bag. The police officer frowned and approached Han Doo-ho.

“Why did you take out the camera?”

“It will be broadcast on the Internet. There are many people who are curious about how our battle progresses.”

“… Please turn off the camera. It is not good for the operation to be leaked.”

“Operation leak? Are you kidding? The opponents are variants and mutants. Are you really saying that mutants and mutants watch the broadcast?”

“… It may have a negative emotional impact on viewers.”

The police reached for Doo Ho Doo’s camera.

Mate!

Han Doo-ho slapped the policeman’s hand away.

The atmosphere becomes cold. Doo Ho Doo smiled coldly.

“… What are you doing now? Are you interfering with official duties?”

“This camera is mine. What are you trying to rob? If you are a police officer, can you rob citizens?”

“It’s not a robbery, I’m just trying to keep it for you.”

“Isn’t that extortion? And citizens have the right to know. Does it have a negative impact on citizens? Go to the Internet. It’s easy to watch videos of people dealing with zombies and mutants. Or are you trying to control the media? If you want to take my camera with you until the end… I will stop the operation here and inform the citizens. “The Korean police are ignoring the people’s right to know and are trying to control the media.”

“…”

The police officer’s expression turns red and blue. He barely swallowed his outburst of anger and turned around and left the tent.

“Ha, the police, who do nothing, are trying to control us… “You’re out of your mind.”

The people next to Han Doo-ho nodded as if it was natural.

“That’s right.”

“Are all the police in Gwangju like that? “How can you ignore us like this when we came to help?”

“Let’s make this a public issue and bury that police officer socially.”

“Whoa, everyone, calm down. You were so excited. I don’t like this either… We should treat it as a happening and move on. Don’t you have something important coming up?”

The awakened people gathered around Han Doo-ho. They seemed like the awakened people that Dooho Doo had recruited. It seems like Dooho Do is sincerely trying to create an Awakened Alliance.

The other awakened people also said something to Doo-ho, saying he did a good job.

‘Anyway, that police officer was a bit strange.’

If nothing else, the camera control went a bit overboard. Among the awakened people gathered here, how many of them came to help with pure hearts? There will be less than one person. It was clear that everyone had come here to become famous. But cameras are banned? Just a police officer?

‘Seeing as the police retreated so easily, it must have been arbitrary to confiscate the camera.’

If the government had issued an order, the story would not have ended so easily.

‘I feel something strange.’

I suddenly remembered that the large Sunwol hospital is related to Ilwoo Group.

I wonder if they will use their hands openly… I quietly raised my guard.
