Chapter 429 – [What Do You Do in the Rapture? Are You Busy? Can You Help Me?]
All Baek-ri could do was wander around and do what he could.
The number of people who could deal with the raging enemy species was few and far between, and the reality that the battlefield was being pushed out by the numbers… It was not a situation where one could have hope.
“Keuuk…….”
“Gwa, are you okay?”
“It’s okay……Don’t worry……”
Like last time, Baek-ri didn’t sleep, wandering around and saving people. But unlike last time, this time only a handful of people could be saved.
So-so-so-so!!!
“Kuu……!!!”
Even if the situation is finally over after confirming and killing a 100-meter-long enemy species with a blue resonator, what comes back to him afterwards is not a compliment to the person who saved him, but just a voice of resentment.
“Because of you!!!!”
“What should I do!!!! I have to throw away everything I have and leave because of you, but what should I do!!!”
“You son of a bitch!!!!!”
Bai Li couldn’t say anything to them. No matter what you say, in the end it will be nothing more than an excuse.
I can only quietly save people and get pointed at. That was the only thing allowed to Baekri.
No matter how many people you save, no matter how many people you save from danger, in the end, you will be cursed. Because the current situation itself was created by him.
But that also didn’t last long.
Because the nuclear bombs launched by Russia even caused radiation, no, the hostile species that were actively spraying radiation and contaminating the earth were no longer able to reach their vicinity with normal electronic devices.
For ordinary soldiers, radiation is dangerous if continuously exposed. Even a Force user would not benefit from being exposed for a long time, let alone an average person.
In the end, the front quickly invades Asia and goes over.
Nothing was good Several countries have already collapsed in the current situation.
So far, the United States and Russia and other major powers have been maintained, but other countries have collapsed. In particular, places like leader, where the population is large and the security and environment are not so good, collapsed in at most a few days and became the nest of hostile species.
The enemy species that entered the hundreds of millions of won that could not be transferred to Russia began to invade East Asian countries in earnest wriggling.
“Aaaaa…”
Bai Li couldn’t help but despair. In reality, he realized that no matter how hard he struggled, there was a limit to the number of things he could save.
And in an even more hopeless situation that he brought it on himself.
* * *
Current hostile species are like volcanic eruptions spewing out.
Even if one or two places are prevented from erupting, it will eventually break through the weak point and erupt.
Europe and Russia are somehow blocking people by replacing them, but Asia is relatively weak in defense.
First of all, there is leader. Of course, leader has a large land area and a large population, and its defense budget is the fourth largest in the world.
Nevertheless, leader collapsed, ironically, because of its large territory and large population.
Even among the great powers, things like public order and civic consciousness are falling, but there was no way to properly control in a chaotic society. At the same time, in the case of rural villages, the army often abandoned and retreated no matter how many people there were.
By the time Baekri entered leader, I could see an aircraft flying and crashing into a building.
The aircraft, which seemed to be headed for Korea, was smashed into two pieces, and there were people on it, like an leadern train famous for its eccentricities.
Smashed, crushed, burned, the city is devastated, and the enemy species begin to fill the void. It was gruesome and cruel, and I felt like I was watching the end of the human race.
No, it’s not a feeling, it’s a fact and a reality. You shouldn’t look away from there.
“Aaaaa…”
It seemed that he would forget even the language of Baekri in his life dying like an ant. A lump of metal that felt like it was hot inside because it was cold inside got caught in my chin, and a feeling of stuffiness weighed down my lungs.
No matter how busy you are, no matter how hard you try. After all, they dig in, eat, and break. All that remains is rubble.
Leader’s number one population has become rather poisonous. Enemy species that devour them and increase their numbers quickly begin to invade all of Asia.
As the area of activity widened, the number would spread as much, but the number of them exceeded such common sense. Tens of thousands of enemy species are pouring into the city every day, and no matter how they endure, super-large enemy species that are over 100 meters or 200 meters long will destroy the army.
To deal with them, you had to have at least a master user. However, the number of master users was at most a few. In contrast, super-large enemy species appear without even trying and destroy the city.
As the quality of the guys who had been pushing with the number of troops improved, the speed of progress increased explosively.
The same goes for human confusion. No matter how much reading and control people try to control, humans run out of control in the face of survival issues.
“The living don’t have to live!”
“That’s right!!!! Let’s start with the people here!!!”
“Everyone! Follow the controls!!! This will only add to the confusion!!!!”
“Get out of the way!! Get out of the way!!!”
Every day, in front of the immigration checkpoint, there was a commotion with people trying to get in.
No wonder. If there is no hope, emotions do not go anywhere and run out of control, but if there is hope in front of their nose, they are directed there. If you can see a ray of light in a cave you can’t see right in front of you, even if there is a cliff in the middle, it’s a human being.
I tried to control it, but to no avail. They were already in a state of panic, and not only Koreans but also foreigners of all kinds and languages were mixed. Confusion that has caught fire cannot be easily quelled.
Just as a campfire can be extinguished with a bucket of water, but a forest fire cannot be extinguished by rain.
If so, the only way to solve it is to let it calm down naturally… Or make it listen by force.
Wow!!!
“What?!”
“Are you guys kidding me?”
Hibiki appeared in front of them. People stumbled and fell even with the simple rolling of her foot, which made the ground vibrate. Thanks to this, the chaotic scene was briefly lulled.
Looking at Hibiki, who is growling and showing off her strength, makes me feel like my flesh is going to tremble. He said that the thing in front of him was a person who was only at the level of more than 2 meters even with the horns together, but a presence like Mount Tai crushed them.
“Did you think he would do anything if you rushed at him? Didn’t the days of fooling around pass by once upon a time?”
“Uh, uh…”
“Ha, but there are also children!!!!”
“So what?”
Hibiki cut them off just to their displeasure. His actions are, frankly, natural.
Even if survival is the priority, if you use that as an excuse to force yourself, it’s just arrogance of the weak.
“Even if we let you guys in, there is a limit in the end. There are people who can’t get in that much. That’s why we’re controlling it on purpose, but if you don’t follow it and come in randomly, is it worse than bullshit?”
“Ha, but…”
“Can you say the sounds that will come after that to the people in the order ahead?”
Suppress dissatisfaction and fear by force. It’s obviously an action that has limits, but at least it was possible for now.
If you wield a whip, the next step is to give him a carrot. Hibiki gave them a chance to return.
“It’s not like I’m going to die right now. If I wait a little longer, I can get in. Before that, would it be much better to apply for entry first and get a higher order number than to whine here?”
Even if I try, nothing will change. You have to act. That’s what they do.
If it really breaks through here and people push through to the immigration checkpoint, Shion will close the Dimension Gate directly connected to Mars without adding or subtracting.
Even if your life is at risk, no, as long as your life is at risk, there is a line that must be followed. Zion did not have the mercy to show even to those who did not keep the line and crossed it.
“Do it in moderation and go home. Think carefully about what is better than whining here!!”
Everyone scattered at Hibiki’s cry. There were still people in the seat who still had lingering lingering feelings, but they were at a level that could be controlled.
But with this, you will start to buy a full-fledged grudge. No matter how right it is, if you feel bad about yourself, you will have a grudge. Hibiki, who became the target, might suffer that damage.
“……You are having a hard time.”
“Well, that’s what I’m supposed to do”
Ha Jung-wook and Hibiki’s age is a bit older than Ha Jung-wook, but Hibiki is at a loss for words. It’s not that he’s spoiled, it’s that he doesn’t care about the show. As much as that, I don’t really care if the other person speaks plainly in the first meeting.
And in his previous life, even in front of a god of mythology, he would wear shorts, and there was no one he could respect.
“There must be a limit to that. It’s because they haven’t come this far yet.
“If I die no matter what I do, I’d rather die while struggling to live… Or I couldn’t do anything because I was terrified.”
“You know well. Did you do that kind of work? I don’t think you’re a Force user.”
“I was a firefighter.”
“It’s a good job”
Anyway, both of them have done something to save people. That consensus brought the two together.
“Looks like we’re nearing the end. How far has the immigration situation progressed?”
“It’s about 70 percent done.”
“About 70 million, then?”
“Yes, I’ll have to look at the data to find out the exact numbers, but…”
The remaining 30 percent. That is, at most 30 million people. 1 billion in all.
The wasteland of North Korea, and even Japan, where there is nothing left of radioactivity after the strongest Great Demon King Phantom wiped it out. It is developing and attracting a lot of people. But even so, the number is only in the hundreds of millions.
Humanity, which numbered nearly 7 billion, was now rapidly shrinking. Already, the collapse of Africa, the Middle East and leader has reduced that number by a third.
Even if the survivors are not clear, there will be no big difference. Eventually, if you come to Korea via Russia, Europe, and China, it is only a matter of time before it drops to less than half.
“Don’t feel guilty about what has already happened. What we have to do now is to do our best, and feeling guilty and taking responsibility is what comes after that.”
“I know in my heart.
“Hold on a little longer, it seems like things will end after a while.”
“…That ending doesn’t mean it’s good.”
Ha Jung-wook sighed. Hibiki encouraged him by patting him on the back. In many ways, he is also suffering from heartache.
If this happened because of one’s own child, and no one else’s, then his or her parents must also bear the weight. The weight of humanity is not something an ordinary human can carry.
“But Hibiki-san is right. We have to do our best now. We have to do our best to save at least one more person.”
“Oh, did that feel like working as a firefighter?”
“Yes, in a situation like this, if I added my efforts, I might only save one or two more people, but I still have to save more people.”
“Why do you think so?”
“As a person, it is natural.”
“He’s his father’s son.”
For what Baek-ri did, we must ask for forgiveness and apologize. But if I had to give him one excuse, it was not because I had malice.
To the end, Baekri made such a choice to prevent the judgment of the Great Demon King, who died without a single resistance. If there’s anything I haven’t thought of, it’s just what happened after that.
“If they come down to the Tuman River up there, I’ll have to go that way instead of here. If I’m not there, then I’ll take care of you instead of me.”
“Are you okay? There are many people better than me.”
“I have to put someone who is trying to save one more person in order to save even a little more.
Hibiki’s brain isn’t bad, but he’s not brilliant. However, the reason I can do this well in dealing with and controlling people is because I have a unique charisma and artificial intelligence supports me separately.
As long as you are flexible enough, it doesn’t matter if someone else takes over. On the contrary, in some ways, it will be better than Hibiki.
“……Okay. Let’s do our best.”
“Yes, that’s how it should be. Let’s have a drink together later. Oh, do you drink well?”
“I do drink, but…”
“Look forward to it later. I’ll bring you a good drink.”
Hibiki laughed and left. People’s panic is also coming to an end after the tidying up.
A hint of despair looms in the distance, but they have not yet given up hope. Because the more difficult the situation is, the more you have to hold onto it……. And because this becomes the strength to live today and tomorrow.
“Baekri, cheer up”
Concerned about his son who must be suffering from far away, Ha Jung-wook murmured softly.
