I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 224
Episode 224 [ Satellite (1) ]
Rocks, building fragments, and steel structures were scattered across the desert.
In a desert full of monster fragments, a fist-sized jewel was half buried in the sand.
It was a gem that had turned half cloudy.
The area where the jewel was embedded was full of ordinary sand, but from a little distance away, red sand was slowly approaching the jewel.
It was a sand stalk that was slowly approaching, like roots growing longer or tentacles extending.
Although he was barely able to move, the blood-red sand seemed unable to give up.
Little by little, the red sand got closer and eventually arrived next to the gem or mana stone.
All the tentacles made of red sand quivered.
There was still hope left.
They were holding on with the remaining breath that everyone had gathered, but when they reconnected with the mana stone, they were able to restore the clan.
I managed to get over to this world and regain my strength, but I couldn’t end it before I even started.
It was right next to it now. The sand rays gave their strength one last time. The red sand stretched out towards the jewel.
widely.
Just before the sand covered the mana stone, a hand came down and snatched the mana stone.
The stream of sand moved desperately along the mana stone, but was scattered in vain by the powerful trampling of feet.
‘Ah no…’
With the last image, the red sand lost its life.
Tuk. Tuk.
Kyunghoon brushed the red sand off his shoes.
“The mana stone was pulled out, so how are you still alive?”
-Because it is a group-type monster, it seems to survive by consuming the mana in its body. But it seems like it’s only for a moment.
As Eve said, the red sand that Kyung-hoon stepped on lost its strength and was scattering.
The other sands had already lost their red color and were mixing with other sands.
Kyung-hoon picked up the scattered red sand.
“What is this in the end? “It just looks like sand.”
-This is my first time seeing it too. I will have to collect it and study it.
Drones were flying above Gyeonghoon’s head, and small spider robots were moving and collecting red sand.
Kyunghoon scattered the sand he had picked up and looked around.
Sand, rocks, abandoned building materials, etc. The desert was filled with the remains of monsters.
“Are you sure it’s from Africa? No matter how I looked, it was all stuff that came from the desert…”
Of course, there were deserts in Africa, but no matter how much I looked, it didn’t feel like they came from Africa.
– It was only an on-site inspection, but I couldn’t find any material that looked like it came from the African region. Excluding the current area. It is believed that they all came from the Arabian Peninsula.
Kyung-hoon watched the small spider robot diligently filling sand.
“So the Broken Monarch is from the Arab desert?”
-I’m not sure. If you look at the probability, it’s more than 80%.
Gyeonghoon nodded at Eve’s words. He then put the half-consumed mana stone into subspace.
“Is it possible for a monarch level to surpass that? Like this. When that happens, the problem gets worse…”
It’s only been two years since the cataclysm occurred.
It was absurd that an Earth-sized wave that destroyed the other world had already occurred, but a monarch-level monster had appeared. It
had been blocking the dimensional portals created by the monarchs. Kyung-hoon didn’t understand.
– I’m not sure, but this monarch-level monster seems to be a special case. Since it was a monster made up of a group, it seems to have been able to pass through even small portals. It was just
as Eve said. The monster made of red sand was its own. They split up into groups and went over the portal.
Eve’s words sounded quite plausible, so Kyung-hoon decided to accept that reasoning.
“Do you think it’s possible to analyze that dimensional portal?”
-It is quite difficult. The shape is different from the existing pattern. It feels like looking at the original before translation. If there are a lot of samples, duplication or modification is impossible with a dimensional portal alone. “I guess so…”
Modified
monsters Instead, if humans had been able to move, they would have been able to bring Isabel right away…
Now, let alone remodeling, even reproduction itself was impossible.
Gyeonghoon sighed. It was not an easy task.
“Then, this monarch-level monster . We decided to continue researching the issue… Now, the only remaining question is who is Shane?”
Kyung-hoon looked embarrassed when he saw the robot talking to Rosalia. The silver wolf was yawning next to the robot. “I don’t know if it’s okay.
”
-Miss Rosalia is a very intelligent woman. I don’t think there will be any major problems. “A robot? AI? Is
n’t it like magic? It’s like it’s wearing a camera cap or talking through a microphone…”
Rosalia, an intelligent young woman, could not believe the robot moving in front of her.
“If you keep my story a secret, I’ll tell you a more interesting story. “Something like Kay’s mistake or Eve’s sigh.”
It’s not human to say such childish things while petting your pet. You would never believe it if he was wearing a helmet and had bandages wrapped around his hands.
However, in her eyes, the camera-shaped head and the mechanical arm that had just been attached were clearly visible.
“Rosalia just needs to be known as Executioner Shane. “Although it is an AI created through mana engineering, it does not distinguish itself from other people in EV.”
Rosalia nodded as if she had come to her senses at Kyung-hoon’s words that had come to her before she knew it.
“So that’s why you wore a helmet. All right. I won’t tell anyone. To Vasily and to Dad. “I will keep this secret until I die.”
“I don’t have anything to go to that extent…”
“And like I said last time, please call me Rosa.”
“….thank you. Rosa.”
Shane patted Connie and looked at them both.
-That’s fascinating. Are you spreading pheromones? Such blind faith.
Shane’s voice came through the earphones.
-He made her father president and made her walk. There is no way not to trust it.
-Oh, it was like that. Then what?
Shane immediately understood Eve’s explanation. It was because he was no different from himself.
Kyung-hoon didn’t like something about their conversation. He said to Shane.
“Other team members will soon arrive. “It would be better to disguise it.”
“It’s so uncomfortable… but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Shane took off his hat with a regretful expression, took out his helmet from behind his back, and put it on the camera.
He put his hat on his back and began bandaging his hands.
Rosalia looked at that figure in wonder.
“It’s really Shane. But even if you just wear a helmet, it doesn’t look any different. Wow, it’s amazing.”
Kyung-hoon muttered as he looked at Rosalia.
“She’s an intelligent woman…”
– She’s a girl with a lot of emotion.
Eve slightly excused herself at Kyung-hoon’s words.
Rosalia must have been excited, so she continued talking, unlike usual.
“If it was made through mana engineering, it would be like the one in that fantasy movie. Is it like the Ego Sword? Like the sword has a soul…”
“Soul.”
At Rosalia’s words, Shane stopped wrapping the bandage and Eve also showed interest.
-Soul is an interesting theory. It seems worth investigating.
Perhaps because it was a story about themselves, they both seemed very interested.
‘It’s an AI created through mana engineering…’
Although Kyung-hoon didn’t know much about science or mana engineering, he thought he should pay more attention from now on.
“But can I ask this?”
With Shane’s permission, Rosalia cautiously opened her mouth.
“Are there any more robots like Shane? Kei seems to be a human… The executioner who appears next is also a robot…”
Kyung-hoon shook his head as he looked at Rosalia.
[People are approaching.]
At that time, Eve announced the approach of people through the microphone.
In the distance, the people who escaped from the helicopter and the people who stayed behind were approaching together.
Shane rewrapped the bandages and Rosalia looked around and waved at the drone.
“Eve, it’s been a while. “I guess you’re supporting Kay.”
The EV special operations team, including Rosalia, were all aware of the existence of Eve, Kyung-hoon’s supporter and EV’s administrator.
They have received Eve’s help several times, both when operating with Kyung-hoon and when receiving help from drones or other robots.
[Yes, nice to meet you.]
Eve responded to Rosalia’s greeting. Eve continued speaking.
[And to answer your question, Shane is currently the only robot in EV that can think for itself.]
Rosalia nodded in response to Eve.
But Eve’s answer did not end there.
[There is no robot, but there is one more AI.]
Rosalia tilted her head at Eve’s answer, but Kyung-hoon smiled bitterly.
A little while later Vasily and the rest of the team arrived and they were all amazed at the sight that had unfolded.
People asked Rosalia how she defeated the monster, but Rosalia shook her head.
“I didn’t see it.”
Even if she saw it, she had an expression that said she would never say anything.
People looked at Kyunghoon and Shane again, and Shane opened his mouth.
“I think we should prepare for camping first, right? “The helicopter is broken, so in the worst case, we might have to walk all the way to Tehran.”
At Shane’s words, pilot Halima sighed with a gloomy face, and people had strange expressions on their faces.
– Contact was made with Tehran. We decided to send a helicopter soon.
The branch leader sighed as the mana stone flew away again, but Eve did not tell the story.
Instead, she gave me other news.
– Contact me from the island. The rocket launch is ready.
“Is it finally complete?”
Kyung-hoon’s eyes lit up at the news Eve delivered. Two years of hard work has finally borne fruit.
Kyung-hoon, who was looking around to share the good news, ended up laughing.
People were running around eagerly to set up camp.
Trees were torn from the building debris and piles of rock and concrete were brought in to build a windbreak wall.
Although it was a sudden incident, the expressions of the hard-working operation team members looked very bright.
Shane was also making camp with them without taking out any supplies he had.
Kyung-hoon, who was watching the scene, gave instructions to Eve.
“Tell them to send the helicopter slowly.”
-yes? Oh, I see. I’ll put you on hold for a few hours.
Eve also now immediately understood Kyung-hoon’s words.
The expressions on the faces of the team members working hard to build the camp looked like children coming out to play. They were team members who had a hard time due to ongoing operations. I needed to rest for a few hours.
“Sure, Shane is good.”
Unlike him, who was constantly driven, Shane knew how to understand the situation of his teammates.
But Eve’s words were different.
-It seems to me that he did it because he wanted to camp in the desert with other people… but
seeing as Shane even took out a beer box and a guitar from his back, I thought Eve might be right.
Kyung-hoon watched the scene and then turned around.
It was time to shoot the rocket.
A silver hole was created in front of Kyung-Hoon, and he jumped into it.
In the desert on an evening with a red sunset, people’s laughter bloomed along with bonfires.
And on the other side of the world, the launch countdown began.
