Chapter 1970 – [Kimjang-Cheol Comes to the Zombie Apocalypse World as Well]

Yu Hansol was elected in the first presidential election for the Reconstruction Government of the Republic of Korea without any problems.

They say they have raised a certain amount of money, but there are a lot of people in the mayor’s union, public opinion is swayed there, and there are even rumors that the reason I support him is because of him, so it’s only natural that he gets elected. With this, he became the rightful president of Korea with no room for anyone to criticize him.

Well, in Korea before its collapse, it would be possible for a young man in his 30s to become president. What we need in this era is not a politician who is stuck in the back and forth, but a young man who can see reality and quickly change and adapt.

“Congratulations on being elected president. It’s going to be a thorny road from now on.”

“It won’t be an easy path. But I’ll try my best.”

“Yoo Han-sol, please also amend the bill regarding re-election. That way, like your father, you can become president again when your term ends.”

“Eden, you!!!! If you say that your father will take office again when he returns, you can’t do that!!!!!”

“Dad, give up. There’s no point in denying reality anymore.”

“Ooooo!!!!”

To be honest, when I go back, the election is over and the results are… I’ll write about it.

Anyway, that’s not something to worry about right now. It’s something you can think about when you go back after your vacation.

Jeju Island Provisional Government Prime Minister Yoon Jeong-hwan, who is staying here while the election is going on, also whined. However, there was no reason to meet him anymore, and I thought he would take care of it since I was hitting on Rep. Jang Hae-joon for some time… But this time, it was not him, but someone else who whined.

He is nothing else but the president. Even though he could not come in person since he was not considered a prime minister, he contacted us through the restored communication network.

No matter how the Provisional Government of Jeju Island is treated, the President shows his face, and if this side is also completely ignored, it will not look good. Even if you eat taffy, you have to eat it after confronting it. Otherwise, it’s better to just watch it because you’ll end up saying something later.

Jeju Island’s infrastructure is relatively intact, and since this area has been restored, satellite can also be used, so video calls can be made through it. The image of the President of the Provisional Government of Jeju Island, who looks haggard but otherwise healthy, is shown on the screen.

-Nice to see you. In Korea…

“Hello, President Kim Jun-young of the Provisional Government of Jeju Island. I am said to be the worst president of a unified Republic of Korea.”

-…

What, why, what. You’re not planning on doing that and making a fuss because he’s the president of the Republic of Korea, are you? From now on, the legitimate government of the Republic of Korea will be the reconstruction government!!!!

Other places don’t have the resources or justification to form a government, so they’ve just been treating those who came to Jeju Island as the government, but now they have a choice, right? The power of the state comes from the sovereignty of the people, and isn’t it obvious which government the people will choose?

So, it will always be called the Provisional Government of Jeju Island. Where are you going to say it’s the government of the Republic of Korea?

Seeing our response, he tried to somehow change our minds. But he has already crossed the irreversible river.

-I know we have deep rifts with each other. But nothing in this world is permanent. We will work hard to improve our relationship in the future, so why not give us a chance to reconcile little by little?

“Even so, if we fall into crisis, it is obvious that we will abandon ourselves and run away again, so why do this? From the perspective of the reconstruction government, the credibility of the provisional government on Jeju Island is lower than that of North Korea before its fall.”

-President Yu Han-sol…

Yu Hansol’s eyes were burning with hostility.

Although President Kim Jun-young was not entirely responsible for the government’s abandonment of the people, it was clear that he was at least most responsible. I have never heard of a change in the president, so it is true that the president abandoned the people and ran away, and although it was a special situation, he continued to sit in that position.

“Now is not the time to fight among humans, so we will not engage in full-scale military activities. However, that does not mean we will support the Provisional Government of Jeju Island. Since we abandoned the people and ran away, let’s take care of ourselves without the people.”

-There are Korean citizens on Jeju Island as well. Will you also abandon them just because they are under our influence?

“We don’t have enough money yet, so we’ll leave it as is for now, but we won’t throw it away like anyone else. Once it stabilizes, we plan to support and help the people of Jeju Island.”

-Then wouldn’t it be much better to help them by cooperating with us now?

“Even if we provide material support to a government that abandoned its people and ran away, there is no trust that it will return to the people. North Korea has also sent a lot of materials, such as rice and other things, but it went to the military and did not return to the North Korean people.”

-…

Yu Han-sol’s hostility toward the Provisional Government of Jeju Island was so ferocious that he would have killed anyone who was in front of him without even raising a sword.

To begin with, he was a survivor who lived by killing zombies and outlaws. Even though he was surpassed by President Kim Jun-young in terms of age and political power, his venom overpowered even the desk-biting president.

President Kim Jun-young, who was silent for a moment, eventually began to raise his voice as to what was unfair. In addition to this humiliating treatment, I think there was quite a bit of stress due to various incidents that occurred because the Jeju Island government lost its justification.

-Then what should we have done? Infected people were everywhere and the chain of command was dysfunctional. It was obvious that Seoul, the most densely populated city in Korea, would become hell!!!! It was an unfortunate incident, but it was the best choice we made under the circumstances. But what should we have done!?

It’s difficult to expect common sense to respond to a supernatural situation called the zombie virus. If you look at it, it seems like no government is functioning properly except in the United States. No, the United States seems to be relatively okay not because the government is fine, but because it is a place where people carry guns.

Anyway, let me respond to President Kim Jun-young’s impassioned speech…

“I should have died.”

-What did you say just now?

“If he wasn’t going to be able to protect Seoul, he should have at least died in a desperate fight. It’s so shitty to see him stay alive and complain.”

-So you’re saying that everyone should have died there when Seoul collapsed!!!!

“Who wants to search everything? Even if they take refuge in Jeju Island, the president and other major politicians should have remained in Seoul. If that’s the case, wouldn’t they have at least established a cause?”

Their greatest responsibility was their title as those who abandoned the people and ran away among themselves. As long as you are a politician chosen by the people, you lose all justification when you abandon the people.

In that case, someone else should take responsibility. At least if the president and other politicians die while protecting Seoul, that will save them. Even if other politicians who took refuge in Jeju Island plan to do so in the future, if the president and some politicians died fighting the same fight, isn’t there any room for criticism?

It’s okay for the remaining people to die and take responsibility… But they abandoned the people in pursuit of survival. Killing others for survival itself is something that Eden condones during immigration screening, so that’s true, but that’s the standard for ordinary people, not politicians.

Politicians elected by the people’s vote are in a position to sacrifice for the people, not to sacrifice them. So it’s only natural that they get criticized.

“It would be great if you died fighting. At least the survivors won’t reject you so much, and if you recapture Seoul later, you will have a justification for doing it for the sake of the dead. But what about you? You’ve exhausted your power. That’s the end of your power.”

-Well, the thing…

“You don’t really think that a person who was elected as the representative of the people will get nothing in return for abandoning the people? This is the price. Complete disregard and neglect. You will just fester in there and die. We will take care of it among ourselves. If you understand, please contact us. Cut it off.”

And contrary to what they say, we end contact first. Just as you get upset when the other person hangs up first when your feelings are hurt, this person also thought about that and hung up on purpose.

With that, the work with the Provisional Government of Jeju Island was roughly concluded. If you keep what you have and hold on to it, you won’t be bothered in the future.

“You can do something by mobilizing the military, but…”

“There would be no oil, and most of the military there would become local warlords and survive on their own, so there would be nothing there.”

“Ah, it’s not really a toothless tiger. It’s a tiger that has lost all its teeth, claws, and muscles. At that level, even if it fights with a human, the human will win.”

Jeju Island military? I can’t come because I don’t have any oil. Mainland army? They also have no intention of abandoning the people and listening to government orders. What can you do?

Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t do it at all. Since the only thing left was my mouth, I tried my best in that direction.

-Our government of the Republic of Korea does not recognize the existence of the reconstruction government that is currently occupying Yeouido without permission. They are nothing but an organization like North Korea that is illegally occupying South Korea’s territory!!!

Communication is alive. Well, even now, when survivors are walking around listening to radio broadcasts, it doesn’t mean that they have no means of communication.

However, not everyone can hear it, and even in Jeju Island, it is only a story from a distant country. Moreover, we have other means.

[Notice to survivors. We plan to distribute supplies throughout Korea for the remaining survivors. Please do not give up hope and survive. We will be there soon.]

Since we need an army, we make separate helicopters and such, and use them to distribute various supplies to each region. Currently, it is about Seoul, but we plan to gradually expand the scope.

Since ancient times, the person who gives food is the best. It was obvious who would be considered better: the government on Jeju Island that abandoned the people and only talked about it, or the reconstruction government that took direct action and distributed various supplies.

[Unlike others, we do not abandon our people. Come to Seoul. If you can’t afford it, survive. We will one day rebuild the Republic of Korea. The time has come to end this long winter of despair.]

The radio talk broadcast by Yu Hansol himself was trustworthy even though his voice was young. Although I wrote my own script, it also reflects my own thoughts, so it is also a sincere statement.

Oh, and one more bomb.

[The Reconstruction Government of the Republic of Korea does not recognize the existing Government of the Republic of Korea, which abandoned its people and duties and ran away. The officials of Jeju Island’s Provisional Government believes that since they gave up their people to save their own lives, their power also disappeared at the same time. So don’t listen to the provisional government of Jeju Island. We do not abandon our people, but also include those living on Jeju Island. We will visit them too someday.]

Our broadcast must have been quite impressive, and the situation on Jeju Island was also not very good. A few days later, a survivor came from Jeju Island… No, is he a refugee since he was under the government’s jurisdiction? Anyway, they came.

I wonder how they got here, but it seems they came from the Yellow Sea via the sea and the Han River. Since the zombie virus only infects humans, the sea is relatively safe, but I think I was lucky to come here on a yacht.

Of course, apart from that, the situation for the refugees was not that good. Since it was on the sea, even if you survived by catching fish, it would not have been easy to cross the winter sea.

“Thank you for your hard work. Our reconstruction government welcomes the residents of Jeju Island.”

“Thank you. But is this really Yeouido? Ugh, it’s changed a lot.”

“Of course, Yeouido is right. First, eat your meal and get your body back on track. You must have had a hard time coming here on a boat…”

“One of the people I rode with was a former soldier… I was able to get gas through his connections and only run the engine when absolutely necessary, so I was able to come. Ugh, thinking about those bastards in government…!! !”

They say they got the oil, but ‘Abura is me!!!’ Considering the position of the Provisional Government of Jeju Island, which says the same thing, it is unlikely that it was obtained through legal means. Looks like you hit a ginpai.

Still, thanks to this, I was able to know the situation on Jeju Island very well. But when I listened to the stories they told, it felt like a North Korean defector was talking about North Korea.

“The government confiscated all the supplies on Jeju Island and distributed them through a rationing system. No, but they gave only enough to ordinary citizens so that they would not die, and most of it went to the soldiers. They probably used the military on their side to maintain power. I think it was because they had to make it so that the superiors lived much more prosperously than us, and they gave us only a small amount of rations from the U.S… We felt like we would starve to death if we continued like this, so we escaped.”

“You made the right choice. First, rest comfortably and recover. Oh, I’ll give you a ration card here, so you can eat separately or buy what you need at the market.”

“City, market?! Is there a market? Enough to buy and sell things?”

“Of course.”

Thanks to them, radio broadcasts became much more aggressive towards the Jeju Provisional Government. The true face of the Provisional Government of Jeju Island was revealed on a large scale.

[Our reconstruction government has come to protect refugees who escaped under the jurisdiction of the Jeju Provisional Government. According to them, officials of the Provisional Government of Jeju Island are monopolizing supplies and American rations and using them to maintain their power. The way they mobilize the military is like seeing North Korea before its fall.]

[Jeju Island residents!!!! Seoul, come to Seoul!!!! This place really has it all!!!! There are no zombies and you can eat your fill!!! It’s the same place before the destruction!!!!]

Even if a bad situation is exposed, aren’t politicians just getting richer in this situation? Do you think people will stay still?

The Provisional Government of Jeju Island tried to make excuses by saying it was a lie, but they had no time to do so. That was the catalyst that led to the revolution in Jeju Island.

The reason it was not a coup was because it was not caused by the military, but by citizens, and it was not for power, but for survival and anger against the incompetent leadership, so it was closer to a revolution. Of course, they will try to stop it since they are working together with the government and the military…

Anyway, why does the military shoot at its own citizens? At that point, I had seen the entire ball field.

-Fuck!!! I joined the military to make a living, not to shoot people!!!!

-Aaaaah!!!!

-We too, the upper part is like shit!!!! Fuck, the reconstruction government is doing so well, but what are these food-sucking bastards doing?! I won’t do it, fuck!!!!!

-What? You bastard, that’s a protest!!!!

-Fuck you!!! Die!!!!!

This is not the time of the 5th Republic, and there are people who object when people are told to shoot. Rather, there were people who shot the superiors who gave orders and charged back toward the government.

The current situation on Jeju Island, as observed by Cherubim, is so bad that the absolute chaos and the dog god are satisfied. And the existing government of the Republic of Korea, which had nowhere else to run, was captured by the angry people and soldiers without any time to do anything.

Politicians who are responsible for abandoning the people, including the president, are full of their bellies. Even in this situation, they ate well and had stomachs, so even if they died and became ghosts, it would be a good time.

-Gu, fellow citizens!!!! Calm down!!! We will make improvements again regarding the distribution issue…

-Everything the reconstruction government says is a lie!!! It’s no different from North Korea’s propaganda broadcast!!! Don’t be fooled by those words!!!!

-Well, without us, there would be no rations in the United States!!!!

Politicians who have abandoned the people are on the verge of death at the hands of the people, which makes them look quite ugly. On the other hand, there is a realistic problem that if the Provisional Government of Jeju Island completely collapses, there will be problems with American distribution… But there is no such thing for those who are blind.

-I’m dying!!!!

-Burn it!!!! Kill it!!!! These bastards, how much did they have to eat to turn into pigs like this?!

-Are you the only ones with mouths? You bastards!!!! I started looking into it when I left Seoul!!!!!

They died in many ways. They were captured by angry people and were dismembered, shot or burned. In particular, in the case of President Kim Jun-young, he was beheaded, and his head was placed on a stick for everyone to see.

In this way, the provisional government of Jeju Island disappeared. It was the end of those who abandoned responsibility and duty and only greedy for power and greed.

… Honestly, it’s so fucking flirty!!!!!!!
