Chapter 1155 – [Girl Apocalypse Journey]

After Kim Sang-deok and his gang were kicked out, the survivor community regained peace. There was some confusion, but it didn’t take long to calm it down.

“Today, the survivor community is safe. It’s all thanks to the Powerpuff Girls.”

“Who is the Powerpuff Girls?”

“Me, Eve, and Keter”

“Somehow, it’s just the three of us… But what about your mother?”

“Your mother is not a girl”

“Eden, from the outside, your mom looks more like a girl than you.”

“My mother is a woman with two children!!!!!”

“Isn’t the thing on her chest too big for Keter to be a girl, then?”

“Did you think that when you saw Keter Chichi?! Dad perverted!!!!!”

“It’s big!”

Honestly, I’m a pervert, but hearing that from my daughter is not the only damage!!!! The psychological shock is huge!!!!

Anyway, except for me, my family started to revive the survivor community using their own organs. Shion and Eve work separately to improve the energy efficiency of the nuclear power plant. In the meantime, if I need to work hard, that is also my share.

“I think I need to take care of it well, so I need to fix a few things. I have spare equipment, so if I don’t overdo it in the future, I’ll be able to operate it easily for the next few decades.”

“It’s okay, but what about the radioactive material coming out of here?”

“……Write it”

“Uh huh, wipe your saliva”

“I don’t think I can understand you either.”

Nuclear power generation inevitably produces radioactive waste. It’s a difficult thing to deal with even in modern society, but it’s even more so here, so there are many problems.

And Shion coveted such radioactive waste. If you want to make something like that on purpose at Horizon, you can make it as much as you want, but you get greedy in places like this.

“Isn’t there a difference between eating at home and eating out?”

“That’s true. But if you insist on it, it’s not junk food.”

“Jjondigi or Apollo is not junk food!!!!”

“I know, that’s what it means. But radioactive waste isn’t even food in the first place.”

“Then please call me a freak.”

“Yes, yes”

Eden listened to the story from the side and came out and asked.

“Mom, does radioactive waste taste good?”

“It’s a stimulating taste that seems to be bad for your health. It’s like drinking a soda with a lot of stuff in it.”

“Looks delicious!!!!”

“Eden is you!!!! You can’t use that kind of food!!!!”

“Anyway, even if I eat something like radiation, I think I’ll turn it into spiritual power or ether.”

“That’s true, but you’re still human. You don’t know what effect it might have, so you shouldn’t ingest radioactive substances.”

Even if you eat it, being able to handle it with your abilities and having an effect on your body are two different things. I don’t know where the origin of Eden’s transformation is, but if you look at it, it’s probably done in the stomach, but at least there is no guarantee that there will be no effect of radiation going there.

When Eden eats something like that later, it’s time to awaken Hanon’s characteristics. In the first place, since it’s an energy chain, Hanon, I enjoy eating it. Right now, Eden must be strange to my taste.

“Different races have different tastes. Your mother has a human appearance, so even though she looks like a human with a similar sense of taste, in the field of radiation and energy, her taste is Hannon’s.”

“The taste is different…… Um”

“What’s the matter?”

“So, does anyone find what we think delicious to be bad?”

“Maybe”

In the world of gastronomy, there are only tastes. However, it is difficult for us to understand a race or opponent whose taste is completely different from that of humans.

Kimchi jjigae, which I make the best, boasts a taste that even foreigners who don’t like kimchi or foreigners who are unfamiliar with kimchi jjigae can enjoy it, but on the other hand, there may be people who don’t like it. Because people have as many tastes as there are people.

“Then, is there no such thing as a delicious dish that anyone can eat?”

“Well, Dad doesn’t know either.”

“Cooking that satisfies everyone beyond the matter of taste is like a dream.”

“I’m afraid that if I talk about my dream, Korma will come out.”

“I don’t know if you’ll appear in my dad’s dream tonight”

“Hi -Ik! Eden sounds scary !!!!”

Anyway, it seems that the problem that came out while talking about this became something for Eden to think about. It was evident that he was struggling.

A child’s dream may seem absurd, but it becomes a driving force for moving into the future. That’s the reason why, among the Dream Giants, even those with a bad personality won’t touch a child.

I don’t know what Eden is thinking, but her dreams are bigger the better. In the future, she hopes that she can make that dream come true.

Anyway, besides the power plant problem, Keter and Eden helped with the food problem. It was raised by improving crops that grow well even in relatively cold places.

[It’s similar to a potato, but it’s good to grow because it grows well and can be harvested quickly even in cold weather.]

“Hey, it’s honey. I’ve invested in the greenhouse so far, but if I have this, it will get better.”

“Yerosto made something called a fire spirit stone. In this world, the effect is at least able to be used in a greenhouse, so use it well.”

“The laws of physics are so cheap. It’s really this ability. Ah, thinking about it, I want to use this ability too!!!!!”

The community of survivors in Ruline had many advantages thanks to the nuclear power plant. However, with our help, we were able to lay a solid foundation.

It’s a survivor organization that still has thousands of people, but it might be possible to do 10,000 units later. Of course, all we did was the foundation, so we had to make the infrastructure ourselves before that.

[Actually, I want to explode even a volcano. I don’t like cold places like this.]

“It would be nice if something like a hot spring comes out, but the hot springs will freeze in this weather.”

Yessto was an environment he disliked, but because of that, it was a place where he could express his power most usefully. The coldness of the ground did not work for Yesto, who was swimming in lava, and he, a fire spirit, was able to make things that were helpful here.

It looks like a red chicken, but those who realized that our ability is unusual began to worship Yesto as well.

No, he begins to worship all of us, not just Jesus. It is like watching the creation of a new religion, just like the primitive tribe that met Crong.

“Ah!!!! The worst!!!! Welcome!!!!!”

“Thank you so much!!!! Thanks to all of you, I was able to prevent their coup!!!!”

“Thank you for protecting Captain Ruri!!!!!”

“Worst man!!!! Eat this!!!!”

When I pass by with Ruri, there are many people who give thanks or something close to worship.

Eating in this era is precious. Giving something like that was proof that the other person was in awe of me.

The food I received from a passer-by was not wrapped in wrapping paper, but wrapped in something like a book page ripped out, but when I unwrapped it, there was something like brown yokan.

At other times, you would have just seen it as yanggaeng, but in this era, it doesn’t look pretty. Especially because it reminds me of Snowpiercer.

“Isn’t this made of cockroaches?”

“Try it. It must be quite tasty unlike a protein bar.”

“Hmm”

I took a bite of the brown yokan. When I first took a bite, the texture was not much different from yanggaeng, but after chewing it, I felt a slight chewy taste.

What should I say, crispy taste? It feels like chewing on cookie crumbs.

And the taste was surprisingly delicious. Unlike the appearance of yanggaeng, it is not sweet, but it is salty and savory.

“Mister, do you know what it’s made of?”

“Mealworms?”

“No, otoke know!!!!!”

“I think I knew it roughly. I guessed it especially by looking at your face. I would have tried to bully you, but you’re a thousand years away.”

I’ve tried various ingredients, and it’s not surprising that there are insects among them. Even before the 2000s, eating locusts or pupae wasn’t very strange. These days, the visuals aren’t great, so fewer people eat it.

And insects are much better food in this world than livestock. It’s much cheaper to make a kilo of insects than a kilo of meat, and it works well.

“Besides, mealworms eat just about anything. There’s no big problem with Deok raising them.”

“I will. It’s better than raising cattle.”

“Besides, the mealworms are surprisingly delicious. If you sprinkle salt and stir-fry them, the appearance may remain, but they are savory, so it’s a snack.”

“Did you have any alcohol?”

“If you look around, you’ll find something like normal alcohol. There’s no way there’s an idiot drinking in this weather unless you have some spare time.”

“Russia either went bankrupt a long time ago, or it ran out of vodka.”

“Probably”

If you look around like that, it was a good survivor community with no problems except for Kim Sang-deok and his gang. It’s not a place that Ruri manages for nothing.

Thinking about that, I also think that humans are the biggest problem in the post-apocalypse. When there are more people, garbage is created among them.

“If 5 humans gather, 1 of them will say there is garbage, but that’s shocking. Heh heh, I won’t forget Jirobo-za…!!!”

“Take good care of it from now on. I can’t guarantee that I will come again next time.”

“I think it was because I ate too weakly. Now I have to eat a little harder.”

If Ruri had eaten and acted with her heart, they would have fallen behind a long time ago. The only reason they didn’t was because Ruri looked after them on the other hand.

If we didn’t help in this way, would we have decided to kill them in a situation where one person’s labor was scarce? That was something I didn’t know.

“By the way, what is the name of this organization?

“Just Survivor Community is the name of the organization”

“No, is that okay? If you make it on this scale, won’t you give it a fancy name that will unite you?”

Names are important. A community under one name feels so connected, and that bond calls for solidarity.

If there is a certain scale, it is not for nothing to name it. But even though Ruri led an organization of thousands of survivors, she never made a name for it.

“I don’t really want to build a country or have power. What I want is more people to survive beyond this era.”

“Is that why you didn’t name it on purpose?”

“That’s right. Being a community is nice, but it’s also a distance to reject newcomers. This is a place where all survivors are accepted, not kicked out.”

That’s why the politicians were not easily killed. It seemed foolish, but it was a human choice.

Surprisingly, Luli shows a good side in these places. Yong Ruri also wanted to create a school where those who wanted to learn could learn regardless of race or country, and Mad Max Ruri wanted to create a paradise in a ruined world.

Not all Luries are like this, but I really like the faith-based Luries that I see from time to time. Even if it’s normal to walk around with a dog drip.

“What do you want to do after all?”

“I want to prove that even in a world like this, humanity remains. Did you know that we hold a separate burial for the bodies of those who die in our organization, except for those who go out and die like outcasts?”

“Unexpectedly. A corpse must also be an important resource.”

Human corpses can also be used in many ways. It can also be used as fertilizer and, at least, becomes fuel when burned. If that’s not the case…It’s edible.

It is difficult to grow crops in this era, but humans are relatively ubiquitous. There must be plenty of people who survive through cannibalism like that.

Most of the people in this world died from freezing, but after that, wouldn’t the most people be killed or eaten by those outlaws?

“That’s why the Frostpunk game is like that. The game becomes easier if you give up a lot of human aspects, but instead, I want to become a society worth surviving. I just want to protect my humanity until the end.”

“Is it your own helmet mode?”

“That’s how rewarding it is when you clear it!!!!! It’s the best reward for deceased people!!!!!”

Humanity is worth preserving through such hardships. At least me and Ruri think so.

Between survival and humanity, people who choose survival fall to the bottom with no end in sight, so humans must keep that line.

Humanity is so important that, of course, when asked who is more human between Eve, an artificial intelligence, and a person who is only biologically human by giving up humanity, I would of course choose Eve. Because that makes humans human.

“Captain Ruri!!!!”

“Oh, what’s going on?”

“New survivors have arrived!!!”

“I beg your pardon?”

It’s not unusual for survivors to come in search of a community of survivors, but they’ve already gathered everyone in the area, so there’s no one new to come.

If there are survivors, they’re probably from somewhere other than here.

Ruri also quickly grasped the situation and gave instructions to the people.

“First, move the survivors who have come to a warm place and treat them to a warm meal. I’ll listen to the story later, so prepare them.”

“All right”

It’s good that a guest, a new survivor, has come, but Ruri thought of the cause. You have to see if the other person is a survivor who came with good intentions, but even such a survivor must have a reason for coming to this place.

“I smell it”

“What smell?”

“The smell of burning corpses”

“I know that smell well… I know roughly what it is.”

I thought I wouldn’t be able to see it because Ruri took care of it all, but it seems that I got a chance to see it anyway.

As society collapses and security collapses, outlaws arise. If you are an outlaw who plunders and kills others, you are at least a nobleman, but there are also those who cross the line and abandon the minimum humanity that must be preserved as a human being.

Those guys inevitably smell like corpses. Whether it’s rotting or burning, it smells like a corpse in some way.

“Outlaws are coming, but you’re the only one laughing.”

“Oh, was I laughing?”

“He was laughing. But it was a very scary and unpleasant laugh. It’s fortunate that Eden didn’t see it.”

“No, Eden looks like me, so he often smiles like that”

“What did you pass on to the child!!!!!”

“How is it that a child looks like his father!!!!”

Anyway, this is a good opportunity. I have a good teaching material to show Eden. In a world like this, outlaws are inevitable, so it was a chance to show them once.

Oh, but if it’s a teaching aid, you can throw it away if it breaks after use, right?
