Chapter 360 – [Mars SimCity Build It]

When Baekli woke up, it was the second day since the base of the enemy race in Beijing collapsed.

The injured limbs were all restored, the base was destroyed and the hostile species were exterminated, and they were almost in a state of lull.

It wouldn’t be strange if the situation improved dramatically as what was more needed here was time, not firepower.

But the fight could never be called a victory. One of the reasons for this was the loss of Hibiki, the master user.

That was the biggest loss. He would rather lose dozens of other Force users than lose his only eight master users, but the reality hasn’t changed.

“Ugh…”

Hibiki’s back is visible in Baekri’s memories. His back, which took the time to make the operation a success until the end.

He had no time to be sad. Baek-ri tried to shed tears, but he gritted his teeth and held it in.

What I needed now wasn’t crying or a funeral. It’s time to do something else that Hibiki has entrusted to you.

The hero is not even given a moment to grieve. But he is called a hero because he endures it.

“You’re awake!!! I’m glad you’re safe!!”

“Ah, yes…”

“I’m sorry for Hibiki-san… But thanks to you, I was able to destroy the base in Beijing. Now, all that’s left is to deal with the trivial remnants.”

Upon hearing the news that Baekli had occurred, Liu Xiang, a powerful man in China, came to visit him.

It was a great sacrifice from his point of view, but it was fortunate that he was able to obtain Beijing in the end. Even though there is a civil war and there are a lot of things to do, Beijing, the capital, has a lot of symbolic meaning.

“First of all, I prepared a small but insignificant party. If you like, you can attend…”

“A party?!”

It wouldn’t have been so bad if it was all over. The dead are the dead and the living are the living.

But it was a party that hadn’t been done yet and hadn’t paid any respects to the dead. I couldn’t understand it, so I asked nervously.

“Did you pay condolences to the dead? Did you deliver the news properly? Did you destroy the Russian and American bases?

“Ah, that’s… I’m sorry”

He meant he was sorry in words, but inwardly he didn’t. Baekli instinctively realized that.

Anyway, the opponent only supported Hibiki and Baekri to get Beijing. He was already the hegemon of the new China, if armed conflict was possible now that the civil war had caused power struggles and even the great king had disappeared.

Humans want help when they are in trouble, but they are stingy when others ask for help. In particular, people who have a lot of things covet what others have more than what they have.

“…….That’s Okay”

Baekli decided to stop talking. In an instant, the disgust passes.

Did Hibiki die while fighting to protect such a human? If that’s the case, what on earth is the value of protecting such a person?

Of course, it wasn’t a fight to only protect Liu Xiang’s second-class certificate, but being included in the middle of it made Baekli shake the value of judgment.

He has yet to properly see the bad side of humans. His good side, even though he had learned from watching his own father, his firefighter, was immune to the onslaught of malice.

“I’m going straight to Russia. Please take care of that separately.”

“Can’t you rest more?”

“It’s okay. It’ll get better as you go, so you’ll recover soon.”

Even the super-regeneration ability is useless against space-based attacks. It’s not just the loss of a part of the body, it’s higher-level damage, so the ability to regenerate doesn’t work either.

But it gets better with time. I lost my mind for a while, and in the meantime, my body recovers with full power, and after a while, I should be able to recover most of my condition.

“And ask other countries to cooperate. Especially for countries with master users.”

There were many sacrifices in attacking bases that were not properly expanded. There is no guarantee that the same method will work, and Russia’s stronghold is much larger than China’s, so it needs more troops here as well.

Hibiki has to do the job. And Gar-Recal, who will be in America, also had to be taken down.

Baekri and Hibiki both struggled against his avatar, but I can’t even guess how strong the main body is. Transcendentalists who can move freely but use their body’s power without restrictions… They had to move in unity with the world, not just one or two countries.

“And…A guest has come.”

“A guest? Okay, since I’m not in a situation to meet anyone…”

“I think we should meet.”

Baek-ri expressed doubts about his attitude. There was no way it would come out like that unless it was a fair number of guests.

Eventually, Ye-jin entered the hospital room after a long absence from the hospital to meet Baek-ri.

“Yejin?! No, why are you here?!”

“I came to see my brother for a while because the situation seems to be getting worse after playing.”

Since Liu Xiang’s second-class diploma is a story between a man and a woman, he quickly slipped away. In that respect, it deserves commendation.

Soon, only Baek-ri and Ye-jin were left in the hospital room. An awkward feeling flows between the two.

“How have you been? Quite a lot has changed and incidents have exploded…”

“I was playing with my little dog in my mother’s spaceship. Until the advent of the Great Demon King, I thought it was okay, but this time the matter is different.”

“…..Okay”

The reason why Ye-jin decided it was okay is that the Great Demon King, unlike the enemy species, does not randomly exterminate mankind.

Even if it is judged, mankind will not become extinct. It’s just that it takes a pretty big hit, but after that, it only develops more rightly.

However, the hostile species……As in the present situation, were rapidly expanding their territory in order to destroy mankind. If it can’t be dealt with within one year at the most, humanity will irresistibly perish.

“How’s the aunt? Doesn’t she want to do anything else?”

“Rather, you are concerned about what happens after this. After the Earth is destroyed.”

“…….”

“But he said that the number of humans that can be saved is only 100 million.”

“Only 100 million…”

Out of billions of people, there are only 100 million. It’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of It was clear that Shion was already convinced that humans would perish at the point of preparation.

The request for withholding the referee means rejecting the interference of the Great Demon Kings. Not only the great king but also his acquaintances were included in it, so Zion could not be touched.

Normally, the survival of mankind through migration to Mars as it is now also belongs to interference, but since it was declared and carried out before the convocation, if it had not been possible to do it through expedients, mankind would really have gone extinct.

“I have to stop somehow”

A better story would be to make what Zion prepared useless.

All she’s doing is the lesser evil to avoid the worst of her. Even if the Earth perishes, it is to make it possible for humans to live on Mars.

But it’s better to defeat Gar-Rekal and live on Earth. Baek Li will choose the best over the lesser evil.

“You must be busy with various things. But I think seeing your face will give me strength.”

“What are you flirting with? If you’re working on something you haven’t seen in a while, that’s normal.”

“…I’m sorry about that. It looks like you’re glaring at me from behind.”

“Ah, I would. But you’re not there right now, are you?”

Worst of all, he is messing around in Moorim. Even at its worst, it lacked the ability to know what was going on in other dimensions in real time, unless it was communicating directly.

Zion, the only watcher, is rather a bystander. As much as she is the same woman, she understood that part well.

So, it’s a perfect time for men and women to play with fire.

“I knew you would be very depressed, so I came to give you some comfort, but it’s a bit brighter than I thought.”

“Huh? No, I just don’t have time for that because I have a lot to think about.”

“I thought it was a perfect opportunity. Besides, wouldn’t there be no time left for Russia?”

“It is, but…”

Sneaking, Yejin grabbed Baekri’s hand.

A warm feeling is felt. It is smaller and softer than Baekri. There isn’t a single callus on her hand, so she feels like a high school girl her age.

“Aren’t you tired of flirting? I hope you go out a little too.”

“No, that’s why out of nowhere?!”

“Then you hate me?”

“It’s not like that! I really like it! I like it enough to want to go out with you!!!”

“I definitely heard the answer.”

“Oh!”

Yo oh oh, the ruined Ye-jin must have learned from her fox, Dang-dang-i, so Baek-ri made the first thing she liked come out of her mouth.

She easily and often says that she loves her lover, but it is a big question who confesses first when they are still having a fling.

“Times are tight, but I think the nights are long”

“……When you come back, I will be killed by you.”

“At that time, we can get scolded together.”

Ye-jin smiled and intertwined the hand she was holding.

*        *    *

Shion was making various preparations to prepare for the lesser evil, not the worst. At first, she thought of preparing slowly, step by step, but if the situation was like this, she had no choice but to move herself as time was money.

The first and most important thing is clothing, food, and state. There are three. It was because it was necessary to do the minimum human-like work.

“Uh, um…Why am I here?”

“Because among the current migrants, the only person working in the construction industry is Kang Moo-hyuk.”

“If you look for other people, don’t you? There are thousands of people, but I’m not the only one.”

“Of course there is, but there is only one person who has direct experience working in the field because he is a person in the architectural design or design field.”

“……That’s me.”

One of the first passers of the Mars migration program, and currently dating Shin Hee-young, who is planning to become the first couple among Mars migrants, he is alone with Xion.

Since Shion’s position is a position, it’s not as much as the last interview, but I’m quite nervous. Rather, I was curious about what to say this time.

“Currently, the area being terraformed is expanding every minute. However, it is just ordinary land that has not yet been designated for use. There is a need to build residential facilities and agricultural facilities necessary for living.”

“But that’s Shion-sama…”

“It’s awkward if you use the word ‘Nim’. Please call me comfortably.”

“…So Shion-san. If it’s architecture, isn’t Shion-san an expert too? I heard on the news last time that you designed your own house.”

“It is.”

Zion’s major is architecture. It was also a field in which he was confident enough to design the house he used on Earth himself.

The work that Kang Moo-hyeok was entrusted with could have been done by Shion instead… No, rather, it could be done even better.

“There are two reasons. One is that I don’t have enough time to do it myself, and the other is that it’s meaningful for you to do it yourself, not me.”

“Are we us?”

“If I wash the rice, cook for you, and even give you a spoon, isn’t it your responsibility to scoop it up? If you can’t even do that, how are you going to live without me?”

“Ah, that’s right… I told you to teach me how to fish instead of giving me fish.”

“Exactly”

Zion is the one who will leave someday. That time is probably around the time when the worst will die at the end of its lifespan.

The worst is absolute to Zion, just as Zion is absolute to the worst. No matter how much I invested in Mars, it was natural that I would eventually leave in search of the worst.

However, if humans who do not know anything and only know how to use it remain on Mars, it will be ruined someday. I couldn’t fix even a small error, and I was stumped, and then it piled up and one day I was hooked and perished.

“Even though I’m a construction worker, urban design isn’t my major… Besides, if you’re at that level, it’s not something I can think about.”

“Most of the problems can be solved by using Horizon’s equipment. There is also equipment that can materialize the blueprint through brain waves, so don’t worry.”

“That’s really cool!!!!”

In fact, it is a secret that the equipment was made to be used for writing comics or novels without drawing.

“More people will come in from now on. More than Mr. Kang Moo-hyuk thinks.”

“Um… Aren’t you in too much of a hurry?”

“We have to hurry. I can’t go into detail, but there is a reason we have to hurry.”

I can’t say yet. Talking about it would only lead to more confusion.

Keep it a secret until you can keep it a secret, and if you get resentful later because of it, of course you have to bear it. That is the responsibility.

“Current Mars migrants are likely to sit in important positions in their respective fields in the future. This is because I have decided and selected them and I am a proven person.”

“That…….”

“Then, please. Mars Urban Development Manager”

“I was a substitute in that district…”

“Isn’t it good for super-fast promotion?”

Shion smiled lightly and said.
