Chapter 22
Episode 22 [Reveal (1)]
A black hole appeared in the room, and Kyung-hoon jumped out of it.
He returned safely today.
But Kyung-hoon frowned as he looked at the dimension door.
“I guess I should go there sometime.”
Another door next to the living room. Unlike other doors, it is unknown where it leads.
Every time Kyung-hoon saw that door, he couldn’t help but worry. He didn’t
know where it would land, so he looked away every time, but he couldn’t look away forever. Or, just… It might have been more dangerous to leave it alone.
Either that or it really wasn’t a big deal.
In any case, he had to open the door in time. As soon as
the dimensional door disappeared, Kyung-hoon immediately took off his clothes and headed to the bathroom without any worries.
Even though a lot of time had passed. “I was still a little dizzy. It was because of the gas emitted by the toad monsters.
The dizziness only went away after taking several baths. After washing,
he put his clothes in the washing machine. He planned to run them again and again until the smell went away.
” “I guess I have no choice but to throw away these clothes, right?”
Unfortunately, t-shirts and body armor could not be washed. This was because both were cut off when the wound was inflicted on the side.
The flesh is healing and the scabs are falling off, but the bulletproof vest has become a waste product.
It was a shame because it was a bulletproof vest that I got from the other world, but it was less disappointing because it was not a bulletproof vest with a pattern on it.
After finishing washing his clothes, Kyung-hoon looked at the equipment he took out of his backpack and eventually sighed.
“Do I have to go to Dongmyo again?”
My body armor was ruined and my radio was destroyed.
I could recycle the gas mask, but I had to get more consumables, such as purifiers. I only had
about half of the explosives left, but I was also out of all the bullets with the emblems on them.
Strong guys . Although the gun had little effect on him, there was a big difference between having one and not having one.
‘If you recycle the recovered bullets, you can save a few bullets…’
I bought a reloading set for that, but it was impossible to work at home. It was close.
He shook his head and looked at the gains he had made this time. He
didn’t even take out the tens of kilograms of junk with the pattern engraved on his backpack. Even if he took it out, it would only take up space.
This time, he almost couldn’t get through the dimensional gate because of the junk. I was able to return thanks to climbing and removing some heavy equipment.
However, I had high expectations for the junk. Although it might not be usable right away, it was sure to be of great help in research or recycling.
Next was a large mana stone . Wow, a big sword.
The mana stone was taken from a crocodile monster, so it was bigger than other mana stones and the color was bright.
‘Is it a mana stone one level higher?’
Gyeonghoon looked at the mana stone with a happy face.
There wasn’t much room to use it yet, but just looking at the mana stone reminded him of his victory back then and made him feel good. He put the great sword back
into his backpack.
When the crocodile monster used it, it looked like a heavy sword. Looking at it now, it was completely different. It was too big for him to use.
However, this great sword was clearly made by humans.
I remembered seeing the English name engraved on the blade along with the beautiful pattern in the underground shopping mall next to Cheonggyecheon. The
useful weapons and equipment there were useful weapons and equipment in Cheonggyecheon. It was clear that the monsters had taken it all.
“There are more than one monster that uses weapons better than humans, right?”
Because there were monsters like that, the humans lost the fight. If the monsters were strong, it would have been difficult to defeat intelligent humans. .
Putting aside the worries that came to mind, Gyeonghoon checked the last items.
Several sheets of drawings dipped in oil.
They looked very ordinary, but the important thing was the patterns engraved on them. Designs that
gave a mysterious ability called mana.
And, the drawings. Looking closely, I could see that in addition to the pattern, mana stones had been planted invisibly.
I wanted to make equipment using this blueprint right away, but unfortunately, it was impossible right now.
However, Kyung-hoon repaired the factory and prepared various tools and tools to make it properly. I was thinking of giving it a try.
The next day, Kyung-hoon sold the remaining gold bars to raise money and finalized the contract for the factory. The
factory owner seemed a little worried when he saw Kyung-hoon trying to restart the factory, but he didn’t say anything more.
Kyung-hoon He immediately called the builders and repaired the factory.
The builders were very surprised when they were told to repair only one factory in the ruined factory complex. But they had no choice but to follow the client’s instructions. In addition, Gyeong-hoon paid more and extended the work period
. was reduced.
It was no longer difficult to conduct chemical experiments at home. I kept hearing strange smells coming from people around me.
Moreover, I had to pile up the junk I had brought in separately, and I had to make pattern equipment.
‘First of all, what are the ingredients? Should I check?’
Kyung-hoon decided to scrape off the pattern engraved
on the junk and have it analyzed for its composition. First, he planned to recycle the pattern engraved on the scrap, but if the scrap was to be used up or more quantities would be made, he needed to know the correct ingredients. After even ordering
factory repairs , Kyung-hoon got hungry after seeing the money left in the bank account.
As he continued to pour money in without restraint, what seemed like a lot of money was slowly running out.
I was lucky enough to find a large amount of money, but now I felt like I had to cut back on my spending or look for a new source of money.
‘ ‘Just this once.’
That was my decision, but this time I had to spend money again. Before going to the other world, I had to pack up my equipment again.
In the end, I had to go to Dongmyo again.
Kyung-hoon was embarrassed. He had been told that he came too quickly the last time he visited, but this time, what did he say? I didn’t even know if I would hear it.
***
“Wow! brother! Welcome!”
Kyung-hoon, who visited <Han River Company〉, blinked at the unexpected result. Eun-hye’s expression was completely different from what he expected. Instead
of getting angry, she was very happy to see him.
“No way, you…. ,Do you like me?”
Her expression did not change despite Kyung-hoon’s absurd words.
“I really like you. It’s hard for me to have a lover, but I’ll get you everything you need as much as I can. Just tell me!”
An incident from a while ago came to Kyung-hoon’s mind.
‘Strawberry-flavored potion.’
Kyung-hoon guessed why she was doing this.
“Surely, that medicinal water helped?”
“Oh, did you know? My father ate it and his health improved a lot. Even the doctors were surprised. “After the test, it appears that the tumor has shrunk significantly.”
“Tumor? Was it some type of cancer?”
Kyeong-hoon was surprised by Eun-hye’s words. He thought he was just unwell, but it seemed to be more serious than expected.
“Hmm, didn’t you tell me? Anyway, the doctors said it was a miracle, and the other patients were all surprised. “It is difficult to completely cure it, but it is possible to be discharged as long as you take good care of yourself.”
Like the ‘mint-flavored’ potion he used, the strawberry-flavored potion he gave to Eunhye seemed to be very effective.
“Good.”
Kyung-hoon felt better after hearing her words. It was a very pleasant experience to be able to help someone who had been helped in the past. Of course, it was quite thrilling to get
revenge on someone who had been wronged in the past, but…
At that time, Eun-hye was a small person . I asked in a voice,
“But are there any more divisors?”
Kyeong-hoon frowned at Eun-hye’s words.
‘Could it be… you’re not asking for more?’
There are still a few more left, but the continued free service was declined.
Eun-hye, who could not see Kyung-hoon’s expression, continued speaking.
“Seeing that my father’s condition has improved, an old man hospitalized in the same hospital keeps asking me to introduce him to the person who sold the medicine. see.”
Kyunghoon’s expression relaxed. Fortunately, Eunhye was not that type of person.
“They say he’s very rich. Don’t you think it would make some money? If you do well, you might become rich.”
“Do you earn some referral fees in the meantime?”
“Oh, no way, I’m going to do something like that to the person who helped me. Dad is keeping his mouth shut too. If you want, you can meet me in person.”
The corners of Kyung-hoon’s mouth turned up.
“I’m not much of a businessman yet.”
“Hmph, I’m still a 20-year-old with a dream.”
Looking at her running a store, she seems to be doing much better than most business people, but seeing that she hasn’t been exposed to the world yet, she wasn’t wrong.
“So, do you have any thoughts?”
“no.”
Kyung-hoon shook his head at Eun-hye’s words.
“Huh? “Is there more?”
Instead of answering, Kyunghoon just shook his head.
“Well, it’s a shame, but that old man is also full of dark energy, so it might be better not to do it.”
Eunhye accepted Kyunghoon’s answer on her own.
Kyung-hoon was also disappointed, but it was too dangerous to do business with goods from the other world.
If I were to be traced back for no reason, I might become a test subject, just as Hyerin worried.
Kyung-hoon gave a note to Eun-hye, who was disappointed.
Eunhye looked at the note and raised an eyebrow.
“No, it’s been a few days since I finished all of this!”
Eun-hye, who was greeting Kyung-hoon with a smiling face, shouted loudly,
“Bullet-proof vest, a walkie-talkie, several water purge cans, and…”
Eun-hye sighed as she read the items written on the note. She looked at Kyung-hoon with suspicious eyes.
“They say hunters are going crazy these days, but you’re not working there, are you?”
“What do you mean?”
Kyung-hoon asked with a surprised face. It seemed like the story of the hunter had spread to this point.
“There are rumors floating around on the Internet. That’s true. Hunters are spreading rumors these days. They said they were hunting monsters. “It seemed like he was completely angry because so many dogs had died.”
The hunters seemed to have spread the word by word of mouth instead of posting on the Internet.
“no. “It has nothing to do with hunters.”
It was relevant before, but not relevant to these items now. And I had no intention of doing much hunter work in the future.
“Then I’m glad. They say it’s a monster that even bullets can’t hit. But if you do, you won’t live long.”
Hearing Eunhye’s words, Kyunghoon looked at her with a bewildered expression.
Considering the things she had handed over so far, what she said just now was absolutely ridiculous.
And, the guys fighting Kyung-hoon now were monsters more dangerous than the guys she said.
After finishing speaking, Eunhye took the note and went into the store.
“Luckily, it doesn’t cost a lot of money. I’ll give it to you for free this time. It’s a special service.”
Her voice coming from inside the store was very lively.
But Kyung-hoon didn’t hear her. It was because I received a call from Hye-rin a little while ago.
-Did you watch the broadcast? There’s a story about mutants on the air. Oh, it looks like it’s coming out at the same time on CNN and in other countries. The World Health Organization is making an announcement.
Kyung-hoon turned on the TV installed in front of the store.
The old TV turned on and a middle-aged black man was making a presentation on the screen.
Subtitles flowed down the screen.
-…Many animals are now mutating. We at the United Nations and the World Health Organization are working together with governments around the world to identify the cause of the mutation and treat it. The reason it has been kept secret so far was to prevent global chaos. I would like to apologize again here.
When he paused for a moment, flashes erupted from all directions. Then, I kept hearing voices calling for him.
-sorry. I’ll take questions later.
He blocked people’s questions and continued talking.
-Unfortunately, our efforts have failed and we have clearly learned that this situation will not end any time soon. Mutations will continue to occur in the future, and unless we stop them, they will spread further.
He said his last words in a sad tone.
-And, we humans are also included in mutations.
The presentation hall suddenly became quiet.
-Please do not be deceived by rumors. And animals or livestock that behave strangely around you. And if anyone is there, please report it as soon as possible.
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen was covered with reporters’ raised arms.
The screen changed back to the studio. The announcers’ surprised faces were revealed without filtering.
“Was it true what the hunters said?”
Eunhye, who came out in the middle, opened her mouth with a surprised face.
It was a story she had brought up a little while ago, but it seemed like she didn’t believe the hunter’s words either.
“Really.”
Kyeong-hoon’s decisive words made Eun-hye look at him. But he was so worried about the future that he didn’t notice what Eun-hye was seeing.
The latch was opened.
What he did may not have helped much, but he ultimately succeeded in breaking the information control.
From now on, the awakened people were not experiments but dangerous beings.
-What should I do now?
Hyerin’s voice came from the cell phone and asked,
“Okay, what should we do now?”
Kyunghoon stroked his rough chin.
