Chapter 1967 – [Kimchi Season Also Comes to the Zombie Apocalypse World]

Retaking Yeouido and the National Assembly building from Yeongdeungpo Station wasn’t that far in terms of distance, but it wasn’t easy either.

Yeouido is a place where many major national facilities, such as the National Assembly building and broadcasting stations, are concentrated, so the population density is high on weekdays. Instead, there aren’t that many people on weekends, but the zombie apocalypse didn’t happen because of a holiday, so what happened over there is obvious.

Thanks to this, the bridge from Yeouido to Yeongdeungpo has already been blocked. There are so many zombies that you can’t easily get past them.

“In the past, when the Han River froze, there were people who came across it… But not these days.”

“It’s strange to be there. Anyway, are you ready to attack there?”

“We’re recruiting members for our combat unit. And… I’m going to go with you.”

“… Hey, I don’t know about it, but usually the representative of an organization goes out on something like this.”

“But the representative cannot be left out in such an important manner. It would be much more effective if I go and retake the National Assembly building myself.”

“This guy has the mindset of a politician. Well, that’s enough. If you think that way, let’s do it.”

We cannot help them directly. Since ancient times, the government that was established with the help of foreign powers has many problems, including legitimacy, so even if we are representatives of Korea on a different level, we cannot openly help.

So, they have no choice but to do it themselves with their own strength. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t help at all. Because I can help you in areas that are not noticeable.

“I put purified water in a canteen… I figured out the distribution of zombies in satellite orbit and researched a relatively safe route. If I go that way, I’ll be able to avoid the zombies coming.”

“Ah, thank you!!! I never thought you would help me this much…”

“Well, I’m sorry for not being able to help you more. And you don’t get just one chance, so if you don’t think it’s the right time, step back and regroup. What’s important is people’s lives.”

The ones moving are about 50 people from the market union. In fact, considering the size of the mayor’s union, more people could have gone, but since all that was needed was to occupy the National Assembly building, the zombies could react if more people moved.

The good news is that it is winter when I start working. As long as you don’t make a sound, you can achieve your goal without being cornered by zombies.

All 50 people participating in the operation to recapture the National Assembly building were vaccinated and armed with firearms taken from the military unit. Since the distance itself was not long, I did not pack a lot of food and lightened my load.

“Once we get the National Assembly building, I will use my authority to recognize you as Korea’s reconstruction government. At that time, I can visit you and provide support, so just bring weapons and such.”

“If you succeed, you can achieve everything, right? I understand.”

Since they had to obtain a just cause through their own efforts, they could not provide direct help, but on the other hand, full support was possible as long as a reconstruction government was established. Because support to the national government is larger and can provide better benefits than support to simple survivor organizations.

Of course, various political problems and such may arise in the process, but it is not a problem to worry about. Compared to that annoying thing, there will be a lot of people to save…

Afterward, the team to recapture the National Assembly building departed. We see them off.

“I took care of the nearby zombies and outlaws, so there won’t be any problem.”

“Anyway, you’re having a hard time too. I heard you were on vacation, but aren’t you still working even though you’re on vacation?”

“What? I accepted that. How can I tolerate the fact that the kids don’t know what kimchi is?!”

“Kimchi is important. It is also mentioned in the Goguryeo Subakdo!!!!!”

“As far as I know there is nothing like that on Subakdo.”

While we watched the situation over there with some degree of cherubim, we worked separately in the mayor’s union. Since all political issues were taken care of, there was nothing else to do except negotiate separately with the United States until they succeeded in recapturing the National Assembly building, so I was actually the most relaxed.

Eden was trying to freeze purified water to use as extra food for people and left it in the basement of a building. As long as it can be stored in a cool place, it can be stored for years, so it can be used later when needed.

My father-in-law, who was observing the National Assembly recapture team as a cherub, expressed considerable admiration for their skillful attitude. Even from former Hanon’s perspective, it appears to be an efficient action.

“Wow, you’re more agile and efficient than I thought. You have a gun, but when you encounter zombies, you use cold weapons to deal with them. Are you wary of zombies coming after hearing the noise?”

“That’s right. Honestly, guns are convenient, but if you don’t do it wrong, they can attract all the nearby zombies.”

“If you can recapture it, we will move it… Still, it deserves high marks for not taking unnecessary risks.”

Now that he’s gone, we have no choice but to support him. Even if they go back little by little, I hope they succeed as they gradually head towards the National Assembly building.

As the Lord in charge of trials, they have been through enough trials so far… Now it’s time to get the results through easier trials. Come to think of it, maybe I should have looked at the life curve before leaving. I didn’t feel anything particularly bad, so I thought it was okay.

I took a detour and moved carefully, so it was inevitable that I arrived after the sun had set after walking normally for an hour or two, but at least I received a call from them in the evening. He delivers the good news through the walkie-talkie he brought with him.

-Finally arrived!!!

“Oh great. Shall we move then?”

-No, not yet. Because of the zombie outbreak, terrorism or something like that, the situation here is not good and there are a lot of zombies. I think we can definitely say that we have recaptured it only after blocking the entrance and clearing out the zombies inside.

“You better be sure about that. Call me when it’s done. I’ll be there right away.”

-Yes!!!! Don’t worry!!!

It is not enough to visit Hajisa, but to completely occupy the place, it can be said to have been recaptured. Just as the United States won the space race during the Cold War by planting its flag on the moon.

Wandering around the large capitol building, hunting down zombies and disposing of their corpses… It’s a task that takes quite a long time. Of course, no matter how much food I brought, it wasn’t a problem because I only brought enough food for two or three days, but I think it would be quite difficult.

It looks like the National Assembly building is not in good condition. The entrance, which would normally be locked, was cracked.

“If I hear the news that the president and politicians have gone out of their way in the midst of their hardships, I will say, ‘I’m going to the National Assembly building because this is what’s going on.'”

“That’s right. So it looks like there are a lot of zombies.”

If they’re going to go after it anyway, wouldn’t they at least attempt a terrorist attack on the Capitol? Well, if you think about it, the Blue House is probably the same.

Anyway, the cleanup took about a day more. With that, the recapture team safely recaptured the National Assembly building and raised a flag with the words “Mayors Union” On the flagpole in front of the National Assembly building as proof.

-Completely organized!!! We have recaptured the National Assembly building!!!

“Then we have to go through the procedures. Establish a government for the reconstruction of the Republic of Korea and announce it.”

-Oh, is that so?

“And since it is a democratic country, prepare for voting. Since it is an urgent situation right now, you can serve as interim president, but if there is no vote, problems will arise later.”

South Korea is a democratic country. In order to be recognized as a reconstruction government, those aspects must be met in order to be justified. No, if the reconstruction government system is a monarchy, it is the Joseon Dynasty, not the government of the Republic of Korea. In the first place, Yu Hansol is not even the Jeonju Lee clan.

Anyway, Yu Hansol confidently announced this to everyone in the Mayor’s Association via walkie-talkie. He recaptured the National Assembly building with his own strength and established a new government with the survivors.

-With this, we announce that the Mayor’s Union has been established as a government to rebuild the Republic of Korea, independent of the existing government that abandoned the people!!!

“”””Waaaaa!!!!!!!””””

In fact, it is no different from the National Foundation Day. I wonder if the voices of the Mayor’s Association people are really loud and spread out in all directions, irritating zombies in the distance… But what do you think? Anyway, I took care of the nearby zombies, so if they come, I just have to stop them. I have the power to do that anyway.

And with this, the justification was established. As the largest surviving organization remaining in Seoul, they recaptured the National Assembly building with their own strength and established a reconstruction government based on it. All you need is support.

While I was playing, I visited them at the National Assembly building with Representative James, bringing with me a separate negotiation with the United States.

“Congratulations on the establishment of the reconstruction government, CEO Yu Hansol. No, should I call you President now?”

“Please put temporary in front of it. The election has not been held yet.”

“The United States supports the establishment of a reconstruction government. This is not simply a representative of the Special Countermeasures Committee, but a diplomat with diplomatic authority, conveying the United States’ will, so you can view it as the will of the higher-ups.”

“Oh, have you become the U.S. Ambassador to Korea?”

“Yes, that’s right. However, there is a problem of position, so we cannot ignore the Korean government in Jeju Island… Still, we also support the reconstruction government.”

No matter how much they say they are abandoning the people and trying to show off, they cannot just spit out the existing Korean government like it is chewing gum that has lost its sweetness. There is nothing to gain by being treated well, but the government has legitimacy, so politics is something that cannot be abandoned even if it seems like a vice.

Accordingly, the United States decided to recognize both governments. The intention was to gain what was gained by walking a moderate tightrope on both sides, but as expected, this was also politics.

I shook hands with Yu Han-sol, now interim president of the Republic of Korea’s reconstruction government. Even if the Earth is from another dimension, it is an opportunity to meet as the president of Korea and the same country. Yu Hansol also responds with some formality.

“As the president of a unified Republic of Korea on another level, I congratulate you on the establishment of the government to rebuild the Republic of Korea. We promise to provide full support, including various resources and zombie vaccines needed for reconstruction in the future.”

“Ah, thank you, sir, no, President Choi.”

He must be in his 30s now, but he is the president of the rebuilding government of a zombie apocalypse world. You must have a heavier responsibility than me.

It is said that the president and politicians all died in the meteorite disaster on the other side of the Earth, but in the end, it was a big stumble and not something worth ruining. However, since this is a situation where it is completely ruined and has to be rebuilt again, it will be several times more difficult.

Afterward, we moved to a conference room inside the National Assembly building separately from Yu Hansol and talked about work in earnest. First, we need to deal with the expansion of the influence of the reconstruction government and various other issues.

“I will give you everything you need to rebuild the government, including vaccines, resources, equipment, food, etc., So put it on credit. The repayment period will be about 1,000 years and will not reflect the inflation rate.”

“No, the fact that it does not reflect the inflation rate is essentially a giveaway, but the repayment period is a thousand years?!”

“It will take a good 100 years to rebuild, but it is money that I have no intention of receiving anyway. In fact, even if I just want to give it, I have to accept something as long as I act from a government-to-government perspective. Otherwise, I will be tackled by the dimensional civilization. Instead, they will set the condition of losing a lot of money, so on the contrary. We won’t even talk about dimensional colonies or economic invasions.”

“Ah… I see.”

“We will set the prices for the items we support, but if you look at the national budget, it won’t be much.”

All that goes into producing this or that in Horizon or Cherubim is energy. As long as you have energy, you can synthesize and cultivate almost anything.

So, if you calculate it later, wouldn’t it at most be equivalent to Korea’s electricity bill for several decades? That is a huge amount of money, but considering that it is necessary for national reconstruction, it is an absurdly small amount.

“Oh, can I make up my mind and move now?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“First, let’s completely destroy Yeongdeungpo and Yeouido. We should spread construction drones and use existing buildings if we can and improve them. Oh, we should turn Yeouido Park into a plant facility and produce food. We can also raise livestock there.”

“Garden of Eden… No, I don’t know how many branches there are, but it seems like there are more branches in the world.”

“Actually, I’d like to just make one sun, blow it all up, and build a new one from scratch, but I think that would blow up everything else as well…”

“No, Eden?!”

“Of course. It would be better to build something new than to reorganize unmanaged and neglected facilities or buildings.”

“Adult craftsmen too?!?!”

“Ah, of course, I don’t think we’re just destroying the base or environment that was created through the efforts of those who have survived so far. It’s just a matter of efficiency, so consider it a Hanon habit.”

It’s a good thing that I thought about it but didn’t put it into practice. That’s proof that there is a human heart.

They say they will tear down their old house and give them a new, really nice house, but who doesn’t fall in love with their old house? If you destroy your old house without consent, they will probably be reluctant to give you a new house later.

In any case, Yeouido’s high-rise buildings and various facilities were improved and made into residential areas or other facilities. Honestly, it’s not just about having an apartment, it’s about having something else to create a lively atmosphere.

In addition, a factory is also built. Cherubim will supply it for a while, but since we can’t make something every time, we need a factory to make it here as well. Oh, of course we are also building a power plant.

“It feels like playing SimCity. I guess that’s why her mom likes building buildings.”

“Real SimCity is just a little different…”

“Anyway, it’s not a big deal since it only takes a few days to build. It’s starting to look like a city.”

Some areas of Yeouido and Yeongdeungpo were unrecognizably different. The place, which was practically a ruin due to lack of maintenance for several years, has completely changed and turned into a near-futuristic city.

Oh, of course, we also take measures against zombies. Build a wall to prevent some zombies from entering and allow them to come over only through the gate. If you try to get over it, you’ll probably be grilled by electricity. On the other hand, it is safe to say that we are building a fortress.

“Uh, something is changing a lot. That’s…”

“What are your honest impressions?”

“Okay!! Oh, but I think it’s a bit wrong to go this far.”

“A good thing is a good thing. Oh, by the way, I am planning to revitalize the currency and market, so I will upload a plan for that, so please approve it.”

“Huh?! How do we stimulate the economy?!”

“First, since we can’t use the existing currency, we will turn it into a rationing system and distribute freely usable ration cards and use them as a substitute for currency. And we will supply food ingredients and daily necessities to the market, and through that, we will hire people who need more ration cards and use them. … That’s how the economy is revitalized.”

“It’s a market. Although we were also a market association, it feels strange to go back to the days when we really ran the market.”

“We need to slowly return to our daily lives and show the sweet taste of peace to those who come in the future. Oh, that’s right. And prepare for the Korean government’s tea bagging.”

“Oh, I’m looking forward to that?”

There is a broadcasting station in Yeouido. The power grid was not restored in Korea, but even though TV could not be used, radio broadcasts could be broadcast, and through this, the existence of the reconstruction government could be announced and survivors could be gathered while screwing over the existing government.

I really wonder how the kids over there will react.
