Chapter 431 – [What Do You Do in the Rapture? Are You Busy? Can You Help Me?]
I wonder what would change if only 3,000 people were put into the field when the control of the military or force users was not working properly, but the important thing was their image.
Mars immigration checkpoint, the only hope to survive. And at a glance, people wearing powered suits that cannot be made with modern technology lead and control them. That fact alone was enough to reassure people that they were close to their destination.
– Are you okay with that, bro?
“It’s okay. My daughter will grow up well. She will do well.”
Currently, at the immigration desk without Hibiki or Ha Jung-wook, Ruri was filling the void.
She is smart and now knows how to use people, so she should be able to fully control herself in the midst of chaos.
-I envy you. Shall I introduce you to my son later?
“I’m already dating someone!”
– Nice! Let your wedding be a buffet! I’ll give you plenty of congratulatory money!
– I’m going to oil the belly fat in a while.
– You wouldn’t end up eating galbitang in this day and age, right?
“These guys!”
It was a conversation that didn’t fit the situation, but it was nothing more than a joke to relieve tension. The enemy species are coming and people are in fear, but they are also nervous and depressed, so nothing is done.
Anyone who has worked in the field should be the first to give hope that they can live. If the firefighter is in despair first, then the person being saved will also despair.
“The judging table is this way! Slowly line up and go! There’s not much left!”
“Huh…Thank you…Thank you!!!”
He comforted people, supported the weary, and controlled the refugees near the checkpoint little by little. By cooperating with nearby military units, the situation was improving little by little.
At least, until the red species comes along.
“OFFeeeee!!!”
“It’s a red species!!!!!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
“Save me!!! Help me! Help me!!!!”
Only a few medium-sized ones appeared. They can be caught if there are a few force users, but it is difficult to catch them with military units, and to refugees, their very existence is a fear.
Ha Jung-wook hesitated. He was a firefighter, so he often stepped into places where his life was in danger. However, that was limited to disasters, and it was the first time I had to fight a creature attacking me with malice.
Risking one’s life to save someone and risking one’s life to fight are similar, but different. But that’s why there was little hesitation. It was different, but risking their lives was the same.
Clap!! Geeing!!!
The wrist cuffs of the powered suit opened and soon emitted a blue light. And as the loaded plasma was fired, his body was stunned! And cut cleanly.
In order to kill with firearms, anti-tank missiles are a medium-sized enemy species, but when you see that effective hits are easily entered, it shows that weapons loaded with humanoid size are stronger than missiles.
“……..”
Even with such technological prowess, it is quite disturbing to think of the situation that Zion cannot easily touch and the great demon kings behind it, but what is important is not that, but the people who are threatened.
Ha Jung-wook, who defeated them lightly with a plasma cutter, let out a sigh of relief. No matter how easy it is, the life-or-death work is frustrating.
-Jung Wook!!! Dozens more are coming this way now!
“Yes! I’m going!!!”
-I’ll support you too!
Their number gradually increases. There is an army and there are force users, but the appearance of enemy species at such a close distance reveals the current disastrous situation, but I had to run straight to the scene without time to think about it.
Eventually, at the place where they arrived, they saw two firefighters who were fighting against dozens of enemy species while protecting the refugees.
“There are too many of them! First of all, send the refugees away from here!!!”
“Yes!!!”
As they struggled like that, little by little, they led the refugees to the judging table. Occasionally, they were injured, but thanks to the medicine built into the powered suit and its durability, no one died yet.
Wow!!!
However, there are also limitations. Even if you can handle anything up to medium size, from the extra large size, the size is beyond imagination, so even if you wear a powered suit and shoot a plasma cutter, at best you will only stab people with a needle.
No, even with a needle, people can die if they get stabbed in the wrong vital spot, but they don’t have that vital spot, so it’s rather the worst. With the giant advancing, they had no choice but to quickly evacuate the people.
“What are the troops doing!!!”
“You’re busy too!”
They are concentrating on defense by dragging the reserve army, but the number of opponents is too large and widespread. It’s a big deal that Incheon allowed them to invade.
Huge feet aim at people. The insignificant action was filled with malice and began to stamp it down as if trampling on an insect.
“No!!!!!”
Ha Jung-wook shouted that, but there was nothing he could do.
But at that timing, Baekli flew in and appeared.
“This bastard!!!!”
Kwaaaaang!!!!
Nothing special, just a body slap. But the effect was good. The body of the guy who tried to trample the refugees staggers as it is, and he loses his balance and falls.
I know that if it overflows, a bigger disaster will happen. So, Baek-ri used his infiltration characteristics to disintegrate his body, and then shattered it with his fists. Its flesh and blood pour down like rain, but at least no one will die from it.
“Are you okay? Uh… No, Dad?! Why is Dad here?”
Baek-ri, who saved them, tried to greet them, wondering if he was the one whom Shion sent support, but was surprised to see Ha Jung-wook among them.
No wonder. I couldn’t even care about my family because I was so absorbed in my immediate work.
“Somehow, it happened. But… You seem to be having a hard time.”
“……Well, that’s right.”
Ha Jung-wook asked worriedly as he looked at Baek-ri, who looked exhausted.
Baekri recovers even from a moderate amount of overwork with a little rest, and even recovers from super-regeneration properties, but it was noticeable that his hands and feet were now slightly scratched. It means that he is using his strength to the extent that he cannot properly recover from such wounds.
It’s about that much even to a normal person, but Baekri doesn’t take a break, it’s not that he doesn’t want to, but there was no time for that.
If even Korea collapses, there is no hope left. The remaining humans on Earth must suffer and die, fearing that they will die at any time in hell with nowhere to escape.
“Don’t talk too long. You’re doing your best right now. Work hard.”
“……..!!!”
Tears seemed to come out of his words. A comfort that he could not reach even if he had heard from others resonated in his heart.
He’s a little bit, but seems like he could hold out longer.
Really very little though.

They’re also starting to show up at a coalition government facility near the jury.
It appears so close that it is almost right in front of your nose, inciting the anxiety of those who thought it was safe, and that anxiety turns into fear and puts people into panic.
“The Rapture has arrived!!!! Only those who believe in our former pastor, who is the Second Coming Jesus, will be able to survive!!!!”
“I believe!!! I believe!!!”
“The leader of the coalition government who persecuted our state, go away!!”
Pseudo-religions proliferate and grow by eating people’s fears and fears. In this situation, wanting to lean on God is the natural behavior of a person, so he aimed for that.
But the fundamental problem remains unresolved. Even pseudo-religions end up being eaten by the enemy species. Adventist leaders are using them to put themselves in a position to make greater demands on the United Government.
The situation has changed drastically, and the failure to deal with the escaped Adventist leadership has now returned.
“What the fuck”
“You’ve been drinking it for a while.”
“……Sorry if you felt uncomfortable.”
“No, I also want to curse coolly.”
At once, the members of the Second Adventist Society were called up. The more chaos increases, the more such a religion becomes more prevalent.
Even if they were to be killed, they should have rooted them out long ago, but they made a mistake in their judgment. With belated regret, Alyssa sighed.
“It’s not too late now. Let’s go back to America first. It’ll be fine as long as the US is still holding out.”
“Then what about the rest of us?”
No matter how much they are infected with pseudo-religion, they are also human. Besides, in a situation where you don’t know when you will die, isn’t it right to choose an option that can reduce your fear a little bit?
Even if you know it in your head, the reality is that your heart can’t. If you really want to incriminate, you will have to ask the people who led it, not the people who took refuge in a pseudo-religion.
“I will keep my word. I will not leave this planet until the last person on Earth has passed to Mars.”
“You can make that promise even if you leave for America.”
“Can we do it even if we try to achieve it after Korea is taken away?”
The immigration checkpoint will be fine, but there is no way you can let people in when you can’t access it. Besides, since they are already able to cross the sea, it is only a matter of time before they reach a country where they can go by sea, such as Australia or the United States.
They are like locusts. It will devastate everything it passes through and eventually eat this star. In a figurative sense, of course.
“Once this place is taken away, it is over. There is no turning back.
Both in a symbolic sense and in a realistic sense. Alyssa has no intention of leaving this place. Even in a situation where they came right in front of me like now.
“Then, if the situation becomes dangerous, you may be forced to attend.”
“Then I will do my best to resist.”
“Such nonsense…”
“I haven’t been forced to do it once, but I’m forced to do it, so please listen to that much”
[It seems to be somewhat similar to being forced to do something important]
Startle!
Hearing a soft voice coming from somewhere, the two turned their heads to find the source.
A landline installed in a coalition government office, through which voices were coming out. And the main character of the voice is the person he knows well.
“How, no, it’s pointless to ask. Then why?”
[I called because it seemed like a dangerous situation]
“I can still hold on”
[He said something to me in the past. Parents said that they do not show weakness to their children. I didn’t know that before, but I think I understand now.]
“………”
Alyssa forgot her words.
Parents do not show weakness to their children. I don’t want to worry as much as my own children, so if I show that kind of side, it’s only when I’m really tired and tired.
[This was not the original plan. Seeing that, I thought I should help.]
“Right now, firefighters in powered suits are enough, and if you intervene any further, you…”
[Isn’t it difficult for people to control because safety is not guaranteed?]
The conversation between the two was not a conversation between the heads of an organization.
Where is the head of a group that refuses to give an advantage? It was more like a conversation between people who didn’t want to bother their families.
[Besides, they came right in front of me. Maybe in a few days, that place will be dangerous.]
“It’s an ordeal to overcome.”
[If you want to avoid yourself, I would think it would be okay, but it’s a problem because I don’t want to do that. So I’m trying to help
“……You know very well that it doesn’t mean anything anyway, right?”
She is the terminal of the existence of Administrator Ellie, not herself. There is no such thing as her existence being extinguished if she dies here.
If you think carefully about the gains and losses, it is better to let her die in the end than to provoke her great demon king by meddling.
But that’s only when it’s a calculated thought.
[Sometimes there is more to the world than calculation. To be honest… What is the gain and what is the loss, would you just watch the family die?]
“………!!!”
[Even if you pay the price, it’s something you can endure]
From Zion’s mouth, I heard the word family. Alyssa was stunned by the fact, and her eyes were watery.
Soon, a wave of energy flows. It takes hundreds of years of human development to produce energy that can only be used on a planet-by-planet basis, and a refined wavelength spreads to the level of a transcendental being that no matter how much technology is developed, it is impossible to reach with technology.
For the first time on this Earth, Shion began to manifest her own power as a transcendental being.
[Paradise closer than you think (ZION)]
A huge dome of energy 100 kilometers in diameter covered the city.
