I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 149
Episode 149 [ Revenge VS Revenge (6) ]
The lava that had flowed to the bottom of the mountain stopped.
The huge monster stopped and looked south.
The mana that filled the distant southern sky disappeared.
I could no longer feel the mana of the monarch who had given up his position or the mana of the other monarchs who had been fighting with him.
I don’t know what happened, but both monarchs’ energy disappeared.
thud. thud.
The monster took his steps back. Now was not the time to wake up. There was no reason to care about the dead monarch.
The monster again immersed itself in the lava-infested earth.
The monster looked at the sky one last time.
Mana was flowing somewhere.
More time was still needed.
The monster sank into the lava and began to fall asleep.
***
A huge amount of mana gathered.
Kyunghoon’s body trembled.
I thought I wouldn’t be able to go up any further after reaching S rank, but it looks like there’s still room for me to go up.
-It’s a lot of mana. If you catch four or five more monsters of the same grade, you may be able to upgrade your grade.
However, Eve’s words disappointed Kyung-hoon.
You can kill four or five monarch-level monsters by yourself. It couldn’t have been easy.
This time too, the fisherman managed to catch a non-normal, monarch-level monster by attacking a trap.
Honestly, if it weren’t for the monarch of Cheonggyecheon, there was no reason to attack him.
When Kyunghoon opened his eyes, Shane was standing in front of him.
He was just as messed up as when I first saw him. Shane held out his hand to Kyunghoon.
Two mana stones were placed on top of the hand.
It was a very beautiful jewel. The mana stone was very large. It looked bigger than a walnut.
The slightly smaller brown mana stone belonged to the Flesh Lord, and the red and yellow mana stone belonged to the Earth Dragon.
“This isn’t much of a loss, right?”
-It can’t be any damage. I don’t know if there is a mana stone generator that can use this, but this one mana stone should be enough to maintain the development of a mid-sized city.
Kyung-hoon’s appetite whetted at Eve’s words. To be honest, it didn’t really hit me how much my income would increase.
“It wouldn’t be possible for Omar to make equipment that could use this mana stone, right?”
-I have never installed a mana stone like that even here.
Kyung-Hoon looked at the sword, with only the handle remaining. The shattered sword felt even more of a waste.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to search around this city? Even if they escaped anyway, there’s no way they would have taken everything with them. “There may be other things left, like that gold bar.”
Shane intervened in their conversation. It was a plausible statement.
“It was too dangerous.”
-Shane needs repairs first.
But Kyung-hoon and Eve looked at him and said something else.
As expected, Shane’s body was once again in disarray.
Thanks to that, I was able to catch the monarch-level monster safely, but I couldn’t help but feel worried.
“Shane is so reckless. “They say their bodies are stronger than humans, but we need to be more careful.”
Although he had a body that could be repaired and replaced, he could not come back to life if his main core stopped.
Kyung-hoon couldn’t help but be worried about Shane’s recklessness.
But Shane instead stared at Kyunghoon.
-…Do you think you have the right to say such a thing, master?
Eve explained why Shane was looking.
-I am a living witness to how dangerous my master fights.
Kyung-hoon had no choice but to change his mind at Eve’s words.
“Let’s go find it. “I hope there is some useful equipment left.”
After the cold wind passed for a while, the surviving drones began searching around Sajik Stadium.
*
Most of the buildings were destroyed, so I didn’t expect much, but fortunately, I was able to find the place where the military headquarters was located shortly.
Yeonje-dong, Buk-gu, Busan. It was an underground bunker in Mulmangol.
It was used as a military facility in the 1970s and 1980s and was then abandoned, but it appears to have returned to being a military facility again.
Because the buildings were destroyed, it was rather easy to find.
After moving Shane to the Awakened Training Center, Kyung-hoon headed straight to the underground bunker.
“Wow, it’s so big.”
The bunker was much larger than expected. The main passage alone was nearly 1km long and wide enough for a dump truck to enter.
Kyunghoon’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the spacious interior. It was perfect for use as a hideout.
“Hmm, there must be a place like that in the other world, right?”
-A private company has purchased it and is developing it as a tourist destination. It is impossible to use it as a hideout since it is also on TV.
Kyung-hoon’s appetite whetted at Eve’s words. It was a pity, but it seemed like I would have to be satisfied with the bunkers of this world.
“But can you go around with me like this?”
Now, Shane was receiving repairs at the former Awakened Training Center, which had become Eve’s factory.
Eve was also in charge of the repairs.
However, her cell phone was in Kyung-hoon’s inner pocket. It was natural to be worried.
-We have placed as many repeaters as possible wherever the owner moves. Network latency is less than 4ms.
A delay of about 0.004 seconds is sufficient for repairs here.
Kyung-hoon was asking if it was possible to do two things at the same time, but when he thought about it, Eve was able to control dozens of drones simultaneously. It wasn’t anything to worry about.
Traces of different facilities remained in several rooms in the bunker.
The living quarters of officers and soldiers filled with old bedding. Rotten food warehouses, dusty briefing rooms and operation rooms.
Fortunately, there were no traces of monster attacks inside.
Everyone left this place voluntarily.
Inside the bunker was an armory and a VIP room.
Kyunghoon first headed to the VIP room.
Grumble.
Kyung-hoon opened the iron door.
The VIP room was not empty. A corpse in a suit was sitting on a chair.
It was an old corpse. The body was a desiccated mummified body thanks to the environment inside the cave.
However, Kyung-hoon was able to figure out who the mummified body was by looking at the photo on the wall.
“Was it the president?”
It was a face I had never seen before. It was a similar world, but still not the same.
There was a blood stain on his head and a gun rolling around on the floor.
-There is a more than 90% chance that it was a suicide.
A darkroom murder in a place like this. There was no way this could have happened, so it seemed clear that it was suicide, as Eve said.
Kyung-hoon walked in front of the dead president’s body.
Fortunately, the president had left something behind. There was
a piece of paper spread out on the desk. It was the president’s last message.
Kyung-hoon said the paper was I picked it up.
[In the end, I couldn’t stop it.
Today, the Republic of Korea has disappeared from history.
The last people have just left the bunker.
Now, the Prime Minister and some of the cabinet members, as well as the remaining citizens, will escape to the United States through the portal.
Only a few thousand . Only 100 people survived. The country was lost and the people were lost. Now, only a few refugees will continue their lives in the United States.]
“America?”
Eventually, we found out where the portal was connected to. But what he found out made Kyung-hoon depressed. He
continued reading.
[I thought we were too complacent. I
thought the crisis was over as we had prevented the cataclysm after a huge amount of damage. .
Many countries were ruined and the world was filled with monsters, but Mana was blinded by the new energy and ignored the danger. For a few
years, great progress was made with Mana…
Even though exploration by high-ranking awakened people was blocked at that time. . No, if I had just helped them as much as possible and brought them back safely, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.
No, I don’t even know how many years of happiness I had thanks to them. ]
Kyung-hoon frowned.
“Is this the story again? What on earth did they go to and where did they go? “Did you throw it?”
It was something that also appeared in the article I saw in Daejeon. I was reluctant. I felt like I had to look into it properly. The
article reached the end.
[Regret was too late.
The monsters that came down from the North were a mix of monsters we had never seen before.
We couldn’t stop it. The army was wiped out, and only a few awakened people remained.
Except for the United States, other countries seemed to be no different. There were many countries that had already lost contact.
The United States also seemed to be fighting a difficult fight, but in the end, the hope of humanity lies with them .
I think I have to walk.
My wife and children are dead. I can’t run away anymore. It’s too late, but I plan to take responsibility. I don’t know
who will see it, but this is my last penance.
-President Choi Il-hwan]
Gyeong-hoon folds the paper, Eve He opened his mouth in a hurry. It seemed like he was worried about Kyung-hoon’s feelings.
– It seems to be a portal connecting to the United States. I think I understand why it was installed so large. I thought I knew why
they even used a baseball stadium to draw the pattern. Thousands of people came to America. It would have been unavoidable to send it.
Fortunately, Kyung-hoon was in a good mood. Rather, he tilted his head.
“Wouldn’t that be enough to move a huge amount of supplies? If we had come and gone in advance, we could have saved a lot.”
-It was made late, and it would have been difficult to use continuously for the same reason as the Samjeonggeom.
Eve’s words whetted Gyeonghoon’s appetite. He felt sorry for the broken sword again.
Gyeonghoon put the folded paper in his pocket. This article was not for him to read. .
Kyung-hoon looked down at the corpse.
It was no one else’s business. His world was just barely able to prevent a cataclysm.
It was preventing damage with less damage than this world, but that didn’t give him peace of mind.
“Then, shall we check the armory?”
Kyung-hoon spoke in a deliberately bright voice. There was no need to give up hope yet.
And inside the armory, Kyung-hoon received an unexpected reward.
“Oh my god. This is all Awakened equipment?”
The armory was filled with awakened weapons.
More than half of them were equipment with mana stones embedded in them.
Kyung-hoon’s mouth opened.
-It’s a significant amount. It seems to be leftover equipment that the awakened people could not use.
“They said they didn’t have enough people . “Is it?”
Just as the plane was abandoned due to a lack of pilots, it seemed that the equipment was left like this due to a lack of awakeners.
A lot of diverse equipment was visible.
Swords and shields with mana stones embedded in them. Body armor and accessories with mana stones embedded in them. The handle had a lot of mana stones embedded in it. There was also a rifle in sight.
But Gyeong-hoon’s eyes could not leave the same spot.
[Instant death in life, instant death
in life] [Cut down the evil in the mountains and rivers and make it right]
Swords with the words engraved on the blades were lined up in
a row. Five in total. There was
a mana stone in the handle. It was the Samjeong swords that were stuck.
-This battle doesn’t seem to be a loss.
It was just as Eve said. Kyung-hoon took out the sword. As he pushed in the mana, the words glowed brightly.
***
Two days later, Kyung-hoon and Shane shook hands at Sajik Baseball Stadium. I did.
Shane had finished repairs and it was tidy, and golems were roaming around the baseball field restoring patterns.
“Are you sure you can be alone?”
“When have you not been alone?”
Kyung-hoon was speechless at Shane’s answer:
“I’ll be back soon.”
“You can come slowly. It’s useless to come until the restoration is finished anyway.”
It was just as Shane said. It wasn’t just a matter of drawing a picture.
The golem was made to move automatically, but Omar had to match the material for the pattern and make it, and the portal machine had to be maintained and tested. It was
difficult to complete in a day or two.
” I will continue to move forward on time. “I have to take the gold anyway.”
With those words, Kyung-hoon crossed over the dimensional door.
Shane turned to see the black holes scattering.
The sea off Busan was visible in the distance.
Shane headed to the sea with a fishing rod made of a long iron pipe.
In his other hand, he held an iron bucket containing the meat of an earth dragon and a flesh lord.
“I don’t know if there are any fish.”
The robot started walking to the port to make its small wish come true.
