Chapter 424 – [What Do You Do in the Rapture? Are You Busy? Can You Help Me?]

At that time, Ha Baek-ri’s father, Ha Jung-wook, was at the immigration checkpoint.

If you ask why he was there, it’s personal intent. In the first place, a person with the spirit of self-sacrifice, who voluntarily chose a job as a firefighter, could not stand still in a situation where the earth was heading towards destruction.

He came here on his own. Of course, it’s not his bare body. The current situation is full of dangers on all sides, not knowing when an unexpected situation will break out.

The first thing that comes to mind is an enemy species, but he knows it. He said that if there is anything more terrifying than an enemy species, he is a human being.

Wooooo!!!

“……How nice it would have been if I had equipment like this when I was working.”

What wraps his body is a light powered suit, on the one hand, similar to the one currently being developed by the US Army, but the effect is vastly different.

It enables even ordinary humans to use more power than force users, and can be active for up to 72 hours on a single charge, and there is no limit to startup time because it receives a separate wireless energy supply in the city in the first place.

If he had had this kind of equipment when he was active as a firefighter, he was confident that he would have been able to rescue people even if the chemical plant was burning down.

Shion, who gave me something like this just to control civilians, is also Shion, but it’s also because she needs to work hard.

“You can go here and complete the entry procedure. Please go slowly.”

Buzz buzz!!!

After the city was completed, people flocked like bees. These are the people who chose to migrate to Mars rather than knowing when someone might mutate into an enemy species.

But not everyone was like that.

In any case, the procedure through the Internet is informal. You may not be able to pass through the immigration checkpoint. There is absolutely nothing in this world as there were those who dropped out among the 1st Mars migrants that Zion decided to bring in.

“Let go!!!! Let go of this!!!! Why am I!! Why did I get eliminated!!!”

– Identification counterfeiting is illegal and does not work. Since you are not Jinyoung Woo, I cannot pass you through.

“What are you talking about!! I’m Jinyoung Woo! That’s right!!!”

-If you do anything further, we will suppress it with force, Mr. Kim Yi-han.

“Ugh…”

Sometimes people tried to enter the country by falsifying their identity.

In addition, there were a considerable number of people who tried to enter the country through various means. It is medicine to sneak in secretly or bribe someone who works in the field like Ha Jung-wook now.

In the end, they were eliminated because they could not cross the line set by Zion. If you lived a normal life, even if you were jaywalking or dumping garbage, unless it was habitual, you won’t be deducted enough points to be eliminated. The people working here were also well aware that those who were eliminated were not selected because they had sinned first.

So, on the one hand, they can act resolutely… But there was another opponent who was worse.

“Please! At least let the baby in first! Please!!!”

“………..”

Among those who try to smuggle in, the worst are those who want to buy their sympathy.

Not that they are bad, of course. However, those who follow the rules and control so that chaos does not arise are not bad either. If there’s anything bad, it’s the current situation.

Can’t accept Even babies have to wait their turn. Of course, since nothing has been done, the procedure is quick and easy for babies and minors.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not looking at it like that. If there is a record of leading bullying or having been sent to a juvenile detention center for committing a serious crime, you will be out. Even if there is no record, those who have crossed the line, such as throwing bricks from a high-rise building, are exceptions.

“If you go this way, you will be able to go through the immigration process separately.”

“Ha, but…”

“A child needs a parent, so it is possible to enter the country with her family. Even in the worst case, we can bring the child into the country.”

“Ah…..!!!”

The face of the child’s mother has a bright color. Seeing that, Ha Jung-wook’s face brightened a little.

If you see that you worry about your child first, it proves that you are the owner of a personality with a high possibility of passing the screening at least.

Suddenly, he looked at the complexion of the child in her arms and asked.

“Is the child ill?”

“Yes…… My fever hasn’t gone since yesterday…”

“Let’s go over there and go together to the ward. I’ll treat you separately.”

The only field that Zion, with its outstanding technology, is not confident about is biotechnology, but Horizon’s medical facilities are perfect enough to make the average life span of an ordinary human being over 100 years old.

There is no problem with surgery or recovery, and even cancer can be solved with a few pills, so the hospital is always busy, but patients are quickly discharged and are entering Mars.

In this way, Ha Jung-wook is faithful to his work at the immigration checkpoint in Mars.

“…….”

But he was also his father. Baek-ri, his son, couldn’t help but be worried. Moreover, if the earth became like this because of his son’s choice.

But he came now and there was nothing he could change. At least you have to do your best in what you can do in the given environment.

“I hope you’re doing well…”

He inquired after his son, who would be away.

It was better not to answer that question.

*        *    *

Alyssa Near, who is currently the head of the coalition government, has reached the point where even two of her bodies are busy. Still, as a Force user and a manager’s terminal, the calculation field had already surpassed the computer level and was over at that level. In fact, dozens of people were handling the work alone.

“Requesting asylum in Egypt…Please make this a top priority and arrange a means of transport there. Perhaps an aircraft will not be enough. First, we will requisition to the nearby Middle East and then give some merit thereafter.”

“Allie’s specifications, and this document…”

“Where are you from?”

“I’m from my country”

“Please, please. I think it’s because of the problem of sending troops, but it’s not the worst case yet. The US is still holding up well. The problem is that the distance between the US and Korea is too far…”

Although it is still possible to use electronic devices now, there is a strong possibility that the Raff energy will become so thick that it cannot be used except for cars.

If so, it was like saying that resources or manpower would be almost isolated. They also had to prepare for it.

“First of all, let’s gather sensor force users separately and train them. In the end, it will be a problem caused by Raff energy permeating electronic devices, so if you train that type separately, you will be able to use the aircraft later.”

“But besides that, I also need to receive flight information…”

“That can be coordinated here. That should be easy.”

Zion can’t help directly, but it can provide information about the aircraft’s location and route guidance. It’s not about touching the enemy directly, it’s about helping them move.

However, you cannot rent your own transportation. Even now, they are helping me just barely, so if I cross the line, there will definitely be interference, so I had to avoid material and direct things.

“Currently, there are too many people flocking to Korea. Security is becoming unstable, so it is necessary to expand security forces.”

“Isn’t this country already declaring martial law?”

“Because I’m busy preparing for the red species…”

“I can’t do it. First of all, I have to call up Korean reserve forces to replenish my troops.”

Mipil doesn’t know the heart of a soldier!!!!

It was a sound that would have made Korean reserve soldiers faint if they heard it, but there was nothing like that in the face of the crisis of humanity. Since martial law fell in the first place, there is no sanctuary here in the yard where the servicemen who went on leave have returned.

In addition, not only the Korean troops but also the USFK were busy moving. In order to prepare for the enemy species, regardless of whether it is the Korean army or the US military, all of them received live ammunition, so it is not strange that gunshots are fired anytime, anywhere.

“And even with security forces replenished, cults are now spreading among civilians.”

“A pseudo-religion?”

“Yes, as a result of the investigation, it is said to be a group called the Second Adventist Society.”

“My head hurts”

Alyssa was absorbed in her work and sighed for the first time interrupted by a frustrating situation.

You can do something by making up for the lack of money and lacking people, saving money, and arranging them in the right place, but it is not a religion.

As society becomes chaotic, humans need more people to lean on. If Baekli had become a hero in the present situation, he might have taken over that role.

But since his image has fallen to the ground, all that remains is Alyssa Near. But she can’t hold her firm position for herself. She only gained recognition by saving people by seeing her future, but she could not save them by force.

“As chaos continues, people want the appearance of the absolute. Humans are weak creatures that cannot live alone.”

Humans are social animals. However, he does not mean that he can overcome all crises just because he forms a society.

The concept that arose as a result of that is God. And the God who existed from the beginning, not the concept that was created, is called the manager.

But there is no god in this world. Only the manager, Ellie. Even if you prayed to all the existing gods, there was nowhere for those prayers to go. Their cries are in vain.

She hoped to overcome the futility and get up and walk. Even if she fell again while crying, she wanted the humans to move on.

But human weakness finds a place to lean. Even if it’s a pseudo, no, in this situation, you have no choice but to listen to the religion that whispers sweet words.

“Do you have any data?”

“Yes, here it is”

Her secretary or her separately handed over her papers about her Adventist Jesuits. As she flipped through it quickly, she memorized some important information and quickly drew conclusions.

“It must have already taken root, so suppression will be difficult.”

“Yes, if I could have stopped it by suppressing something like religion, I would have done it a long time ago.”

“But if you leave it like this, it’s like letting a tumor grow. Something needs to be done.”

As the representative of the present coalition government, she obtained the right to disregard human rights. Of course she couldn’t put people to death just because she did that, but she could beat her to life imprisonment and put her in jail.

The problem was not the oppression, but the damage that would occur there. If religion is suppressed, trouble will surely arise. Whether positive or negative, the latter is more likely now.

But it’s better than waiting. Even if there is a backlash, it would be better to suppress it while the forces are low, thinking about the future.

“If you try to subdue it with normal military forces, there will definitely be damage. Mobilize a small force user team to subdue and arrest only the officers and religious leaders.”

“All right”

Such pseudo-religions lose control when they lose their original head. That will hurt, but it’s still better than having someone with ill will instigate them. Anyway, in the current situation, most civilians are in control.

Alyssa left her signature on a separate operation approval document, officially filled it out and issued an order. Perhaps in a few days they will be caught and imprisoned.

And a short break. Alyssa soothed her fatigue with a light snack and a cup of coffee. She goes beyond the sweetness and soothes her tired body a little.

Fatigue exists even at the administrator’s terminal. Just as fatigue builds up even if she is a transcendentalist, so was she, who was just a terminal.

“……You are having a hard time.”

“It’s not a big deal. And since there’s still more to do… I’ll have to work harder.”

To her secretary’s consolation, Alyssa shook her head. So far, dozens of people are taking care of what needs to be done, but it was only natural that there were more to do. She was able to do it because she was herself. If not, the coalition government would have collapsed before that, let alone established.

On the one hand, there are some good points. It’s because we were able to save more people by coping with it in the early stages. Even now, people rescued from northern Africa are arriving fast.

Rather, it is the construction of residential areas that has not been able to catch up. It doesn’t have 3D printer technology like Xion, but even if we tried to install a simple prefabricated building on earthworks, there were so many people that the problem was that there wasn’t enough space to accommodate it.

We have no choice but to set up a temporary area with military tents from the military… But that won’t last long either.

“The situation is really bad. It’s like… Watching the rapture.”

“Rapture? Do you believe in Christianity?”

“Yes, I’m not very religious, but I used to go to church on the weekends.”

As she listened to her secretary, Alyssa was silent in her thoughts.

“……The Rapture, that’s right. The world will be destroyed and only the chosen ones will be able to survive.”

“Perhaps the method of evangelism by the Society of Second Adventists was also aimed at that. The rapture is near, and only those who believe in the Lord can survive. Believe in our Lord, the Second Advent Jesus, that’s a rough logic.”

“It’s more problematic because it’s clumsy and persuasive.”

“If Jesus heard it, it would be the sound of shouting.”

If the worst thing happened, there is a high possibility that all the fakes like ‘I’ll pick up a whip and beat you in place of Jesus?’

I would normally do that, but in this situation, I’m trying to take care of my own greed, and I’ve been face to face with Jesus Christ in reincarnation, so even though I don’t believe in it, I’m going to insult the target of my own respect.

“If this situation is indeed the Rapture. The two most important things must be met.”

“Are you saying two things?”

“One of them needs Jesus Christ, or a Messiah who will deliver them.”

“That’s obvious…But what about the other one?”

“Anti-Christ. To be precise, an enemy of Christ.”

The antichrist does not mean that it is the red Christ. To be precise, the enemy of Christ is the Antichrist. It’s not the enemy, it’s the enemy.

“Antichrist includes the red dragon of the Apocalypse, the beast of the Bible, and the false prophet.”

Haha! It’s really strange. Among them, at least two seem to have been established.”

There was a sense that the beast would fit into the enemy species, and the false prophet would fit into the pseudo-churches that are currently active.

However, the remaining one, the red dragon of the Apocalypse, has yet to appear.

“Then, will the red dragon of the Apocalypse appear at the end of the end of this earth? I wish it wouldn’t appear.”

“I do not know……..”

Alyssa stretched her words, then she spoke in a voice full of anticipation, although she was not sure.

“If you’re lucky, you might see it.”

“Usually, it’s bad luck, isn’t it the opposite?”

“I do not know”

She smiled quietly.
