Chapter 1969 – [Kimjang-Cheol Comes to the Zombie Apocalypse World as Well]

During the visit of the Prime Minister over there, Yoo Han-sol came out… To be precise, the official policy of the government of the unified Republic of Korea and the government of reconstruction was set.

The existing government of the Republic of Korea on Jeju Island will now be referred to as the Provisional Government of Jeju Island. Rather, I think we made a lot of concessions when we gave it the title government.

And when it came to responding to the Prime Minister or anything like that, I decided to hit Rep. Jang Hae-joon, who was a pro-government figure. Since we’ve been close to that side from the beginning, it’s easy to talk to them, and in the end, they’re on our side, so there’s no need to worry about betraying them.

“I don’t know if it was a month ago, but in the current situation, Assemblyman Jang Hae-joon knows whose side to take. At best, treat him with an appropriate level of condescension.”

“Hmm, the work itself isn’t much different from what I’ve been doing so far, but since it’s something the President has ordered, I think I should at least have a business card to match that.”

“We will appoint Yongsan-gu Mayor Park Moon-young as Prime Minister of the reconstruction government. Then, as the only member of the State Council, if we recommend Rep. Jang as Minister of Foreign Affairs… You know that, right? I believe you know what the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs is like.”

“Just give it a try, Mr. President. We will reform and reform!!! We will do our best for the people of the reconstruction government!!!!”

The position of Minister of Foreign Affairs is reserved for diplomats, so the political background is light, so there are many paths to success. The former mayor of Yongsan-gu is doing it now, but later he can become prime minister and sometimes even president.

Of course, it would be better for a person like that to be under the control and wield the reins. If he becomes president, he is a merchant who will ruin the country, so he should not be allowed to become president… At least the title of minister is not going anywhere, so he was satisfied and decided to focus on his work.

“Ha, is it okay to do this, uncle?”

“Okay, good job.”

“I’ve been representing the mayor’s union for several years, but politics is still difficult…”

“Me too, but don’t be like me. If I’m wrong, I beat and kill.”

“I think that would be better. Wouldn’t it be okay to do this because the world is like this?”

“Now that we are overcoming it, we should move away from the ways of the previous collapsed society.”

“… That’s true too.”

I taught Yoo Han-sol various political techniques I knew. Even though my political skills are at the level of a novice politician, I am still better than a complete beginner.

Yu Hansol has done many things as the leader of the mayor’s union, but the know-how of running a country and politics is another thing… You should teach it well when you can.

During this time, no one other than me played. Craftsmen help with various things while rebuilding Yeouido and Yeongdeungpo.

“First of all, there are many things to consider in planning a city by applying and using technologies that can be deployed as much as the level of technology allows, so it will likely take some time.”

“I’m sorry I’m asking you too much, father-in-law.”

“No, it’s quite fun to twist things that don’t work around and fit them together somehow. It’s fun to achieve something.”

First, there is a limitation that technology that is too advanced cannot be distributed because it is tackled by dimensional civilization, and even considering that, people here will not be able to maintain and repair technology that is too advanced, so technology that is similar or one or two generations ahead must be used. There are limits to the technology that can be used.

Of course, we’re building it and that’s how it’s possible with our technology, but operating it even after we leave is a different problem. It’s not like we can stay next to each other forever.

As the city has to be built with many factors in mind, the selection and use of technology is rigorous, but the craftsman does it for you. Hmm, what should I say… It feels like building a stone tower? For some reason, it feels like you are building a beautiful tower by aligning natural stones into shapes. Still, it’s good that you’re not having a hard time.

And speaking of Eden. Even though Eden was working, he was doing something unexpected.

“Paper please.”

“I don’t think anyone has a passport.”

“I know, I just tried it.”

As reconstruction government cities were established in Yeouido and Yeongdeungpo, many survivors came to see them.

A high wall built to block zombies. In a certain movie, the survivors were robbed while singing, but it is a much stronger and safer wall than that. It can probably be seen from the Gangbuk area across the Han River, so you can see the extent of it.

Moreover, a radio broadcast was made to gather survivors. Survivors from Yeongdeungpo and its vicinity managed to scrape together, but people gradually began to gather from more places, and thanks to the survivor rescue teams sent from here.

Human survival was greater than expected, and even in this situation where the apocalypse had progressed, a significant number of survivors gathered. And to that extent, those who needed to be filtered out had to be filtered out.

“The immigration checkpoint is this way!!! Please stand in line in your turn!!!”

“No cutting in line!!! Uh-huh, that guy!!!!”

The people of the mayor’s union armed with guns… No, are they now the soldiers of the reconstruction government? They were supplied with new combat uniforms and looked like soldiers, and they controlled survivors wishing to enter the country.

As it represents the government of the Republic of Korea, any Korean citizen can accept it. However, outlaws are excluded.

And for that purpose, Eden deliberately stepped forward as an immigration inspector.

“Your name?”

“Go, this is Kang Yun-su.”

“… Hmm, really? Then where have you been surviving so far?”

“No, I lived in hiding near Noryangjin. Then I heard the news and came to visit.”

“There are no lies in that answer, right?”

“Of course!!!!”

Although there is no [Earth’s Bookshelf] Here on Earth, Eden originally has the right to view Gaia Records. Thanks to the protection and blessings of the Absolute One of nature and the Nature Lord, you can get a free pass no matter which planet you go to.

Lying in front of Eden? That doesn’t work as long as you’re an Earthling. I’ll recite everything about your past that you don’t even know about.

“He lied about his name and his whereabouts. His quality is not good, so subdue him and kill him.”

“Huh?!?! Now, wait a minute!!!! What do you mean?!!!!!”

“The uncle’s name is Kim Dae-yoon, not Kang Yun-su. And he was active in the Boramae area, not Noryangjin. And he was not just a survivor, but an outlaw? He has a record of raping and murdering four women. The outlaws he was working with… Ah, did they come in together? I guess I’ll have to deal with that too.”

“Now, wait, what, what?!”

“I guess it’s inevitable that you kill people for survival, but you killed 16 people just for fun or for full-scale plunder? Should I tell you the names of each person you killed? Oh, you’ve also eaten human flesh, right? Aside from that, is there anything else? I’ll tell you anything you’re curious about, so would you please tell me before I die?”

“Fuck, fuck, it’s all nonsense!!! You’re just saying everything!!!!!”

“Oh, by the way, your mother may have told you that your father died when you were young, but that’s not true. Your father had an affair and ran away. Considering that you also abandoned your wife and ran away when the zombie outbreak broke out, isn’t it a case of failure?”〈 Br〉

“… What?”

“Let’s end the story here. Regardless of the number of people killed in the first place, under the laws of the Reconstruction government, outlaws are subject to summary execution. So, goodbye.”

“Now, wait a minute!!!! Wait, I’m like, aaaaa!!!!!!!”

At first, people who came for immigration inspection were surprised or interested when they saw Eden’s appearance, which was in many ways removed from this world, but gradually their gaze changed to awe or fear of the indescribable being.

Of course, this kind of scare wasn’t the only thing that happened. On the contrary, I was able to write positively because it was a world like this.

“Yes, Tae Kang-hyuk and his family have been permitted to enter the country. Welcome to the citizens of the reconstruction government.”

“Thank you!!! Thank you so much!!!!”

“Oh, by the way, do you know her as Kim Mi-sook?”

“Huh? If you’re Kim Mi-sook… Isn’t that your mother’s name?”

“Yes, that’s right. But why did mom…”

“Misook Kim is also alive. If she goes in, you will be able to meet her later under her guidance.”

“Uh, Mom?! Is Mom really alive?! Ugh, oh my god…!!!”

Several years have passed. If you had been thinking that the family members you couldn’t contact were virtually dead, and then you were finally able to meet them… What could this be if not a reunion of separated families?

Eden, who already had a smart mind, was able to use ether and as a result, something had changed, and he was showing processing abilities beyond that of a computer. It would be incredibly complicated for her to dig up people’s past relationships and obtain and organize various information through it, but she definitely looks like Hanon.

No, he was half-human and half-Hanon from the beginning. Have you grown? I’m so glad I’m smarter than my dad.

Immigration screening was not something that would be completed overnight. Although Eden said that it was unreasonable to say that she was doing it with human resources, she did not think that the number of survivors was decreasing as the days passed.

So, a temporary survivor camp was set up in front of the immigration office. Of course, the facilities and equipment there were far better than what they had lived in before.

“Can I really stay here?”

“Yes, it’s like a single room in a container house, but it has hot water and heating. Oh, and we’ll provide you with meals, so please come out during meal times.”

“I wonder how long it’s been since I felt something like this…”

The peak of the survivors’ reactions occurred during meals. Because the weather was cold and the health of the survivors had to be taken into consideration, the menu item was oatmeal. Of course, it wasn’t just white oatmeal, it was white stew made with boiled chicken, something my father-in-law would like.

It was surprising that oatmeal containing meat was being distributed to the survivors in this era, but what they paid attention to was the side dish, more specifically kimchi. Since it was light oatmeal, I thought it would be better to have a more spicy side dish, so I served it and the response was very positive.

“Kim… Chi?”

“It’s not like canned food. It’s kimchi that was made recently, so it’s crunchy…!!!!!”

“Delicious!!! Delicious!!! Delicious!!!”

It’s not that there are no ways to eat kimchi in this world. Although kimchi is an ingredient that is difficult to preserve, there is no way to store it in canned food or other ways.

However, it has been several years since the end of this world. Will the existing remaining resources remain relatively intact in such a place? No matter how well it is stored, eating kimchi is bound to be rare, and even that is not preserved kimchi, but rather freshly made kimchi.

Of course, since it was soaked not long ago, it has not aged well, so the taste is a bit lacking. But that wasn’t what was important to them, so they ate the side dishes at random.

On the other hand, there were some menu items that went well with kimchi. Honestly, I can’t stand kimchi with chicken oatmeal.

“If you want more, please come~.”

“Here!!!! Here, please give me some more kimchi!!!!!”

“A lot!!! Please give me a lot here!!!! I’m going to die after eating kimchi today!!!!!!”

“Can’t I stir-fry this? I want to eat stir-fried kimchi!!!!!!”

After all, Korea is a nation of kimchi. It makes me happy to see you eating well.

Kimchi itself can be eaten in any way, but proper kimchi is different. The kimchi you buy at a convenience store and the kimchi made with kimchi are completely different.

The reconstruction government quickly accepted the survivors, and before we knew it, the population reached 100,000. It was an incredibly small number compared to when Seoul had a population of 10 million, but in today’s era, 100,000 is a huge number.

Hey, even China and leader, which are said to have such large populations, probably have a population of 10,000, not 100,000,000. Rather, since there is a large population there, the damage once an incident occurs will be significant.

Anyway, it was time for the election. Since this is the first election of the reconstruction government, we plan to do our best to help.

“… I’m a little worried about this. I’m the interim president now, but what if I don’t get elected?”

“Why are you so worried? Even if you can’t do it, someone other than you who is trustworthy will be elected, so don’t worry.”

“Is that really true?”

“The people are not stupid. In fact, in this situation, they know who should become president to make the country better. Oh, just in case, I should spread the word that the reason I applied was meeting you… “

“Isn’t that media manipulation?!”

“Is it manipulation for me to support you? Is there some kind of illegal compensation involved?”

“Uh… No? But wouldn’t trading art be a bit of a problem?”

“The United States is also planning to do it? Although the precedence relationship has changed, it would be foolish for Korea not to do something that the United States should also do. And if they are already receiving compensation for it.”

“… Is that so?”

“Anyway, it’s not about manipulating the media, it’s just about informing the truth, so there won’t be a problem. Anyway, good luck to the president!!!!!”

“Somehow, the tone feels more like a curse than a congratulation, so I suddenly feel a sense of rejection…”

“It’s an illusion.”

You are the president you chose!!! Hold on to evil with all your might!!!!!

Anyway, that is how the first presidential election for the reconstruction government took place. Although there were several candidates, most of them were executives of the mayor’s union. Other than that, it was nothing more than a run to publicize the names of representatives of other mediocre survivor organizations.

That in itself is not a problem. Since this is the home ground of the mayors’ union, the president will actually be chosen by one of the mayors’ union members. There’s just one thing…

“People are complaining about why my dad isn’t running for office.”

“I am the President of Korea over there!!!!!!”

No, why are these bastards trying to make someone else’s Korean president their president!?

Civil servants are prohibited from holding concurrent positions!!!!! Moreover, what kind of novel and crazy talk is this about serving concurrently as President of Korea?!?!?!
