I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 290
Episode 290 [Predestined future]
The situation room in the basement of the Blue House was noisy with the shouts of generals and ministers.
“We must immediately summon the entire army and set up a defense line at the 38th parallel.”
“The current defense line is too close to Seoul. “If it’s the monster that destroyed Italy, Seoul is in danger.”
“Then what should I do! Are you saying we should wait for Italy to end up like this?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to fight on North Korean soil? “There is an advance route that has been maintained so far, right?”
“It’s impossible. This is an advance route that only clears the western direction. “We cannot build a defense line in time with that.”
“No, then why have you kept it that way? “It was useless.”
“I didn’t make it for something like this!”
“We need to control the sidewalks sooner than that. If the public finds out, they will panic. “The economy that was barely surviving will collapse.”
“Anyway, it will be known when the battle breaks out.”
A sound close to shouting reached his ears, but Kyung-hoon was unable to concentrate on the words.
After entering the situation room and hearing the situation, he felt as if he had sunk into a swamp.
The moment he heard the story about Mt. Baekdu and saw the pattern and black hole in the photo, Kyung-hoon He knew who his opponent was.
As far as he knew, the only monster that could create a black hole was the Black Monster Dimension Overlord.
And the stone monster that wiped out Italy was clearly the Baekdu Mountain Overlord that the dimension monster was trying to summon in the future. The overlord has now appeared on Mt. Baekdu.
Although this alone was not enough to provide an answer, Gyeong-hoon was frustrated with another problem.
Their conversation was continuing to touch Gyeong-hoon’s memory.
I still can’t recall what memory it is, but it is a good thing .
It was clear that it was not a memory.
At that time, the president’s voice reached Kyung-hoon’s ears.
“If you have an opinion, please tell me. It is okay as a division commander and as an awakened person.”
When the President asked Kyung-hoon, the room became quiet.
Everyone looked at Kyung-hoon.
The military, who had already operated together several times, and the cabinet members who knew of Kyung-hoon’s investments and activities also listened to Kyung-hoon’s words. Kyung-hoon’s thoughts
. Everyone acknowledged Kyung-hoon like this.
They said it was an honorary position, but there was no way a country would give the position of division commander to just anyone.
Kyung-hoon came to his senses right away. Now was not the time to search for memories.
Fortunately, he remembered the entire conversation.
For a while . Gyeonghoon, who was thinking, opened his mouth and said,
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to concentrate our forces on the current defense line. It also seems good to strike before we get close to Seoul.”
The generals frowned at Gyeong-hoon’s words.
Gyeong-hoon’s words were not a proper suggestion,
because they were just political talk, saying, ‘This is good and that is also good.’
But Gyeong-hoon’s words were not over.
“But… .”
Gyeonghoon looked at the monitor.
A picture of Mt. Baekdu’s crater with a black hole filled the screen.
Gyeonghoon remembered.
The sight of ordinary soldiers dying in the Battle of Mt. Baekdu in another dimension.
It was helpful, but among the soldiers. No one survived.
“Conventional weapons and ordinary soldiers are of no help in fighting monarch-level monsters.”
Missiles engraved with manazine had not yet been developed, and there was no Eve to command the troops. There was no
way to hit monarch-level monsters with conventional weapons.
“Moreover, monsters above monarch-level tend to make some kind of mental attack. Ordinary soldiers “It’s hard to endure.”
It was just a kind of telepathic conversation, but the image emitted by the monarch-level monster drove ordinary people crazy.
“No, even low-level awakened people are the same.”
Everyone sighed at Kyung-hoon’s words.
Even those who knew the situation to some extent and those who heard it for the first time found it difficult to refute Kyung-hoon’s words.
Kyung-hoon fought the most high-level monsters and knew the high-level monsters best.
Of course, what they knew Although they fought several times more than that, it was hard to ignore Kyung-hoon’s words just because they knew.
“Then what do you want me to do?”
“We need to form a raid team with high-level awakened people who can attack.”
Kyung-hoon walked to the front of the screen.
“First, the army must gather firepower to lure other monsters away from Mt. Baekdu.”
He pretended to collect the monsters gathered on Mt. Baekdu with his hands and throw them out of the screen.
Then, he tapped the stone giant on one side of the screen with his finger.
“After luring the monsters, the stone giant monster that was separated from the other monsters was separated from the other monsters and made into a high-level awakened monster. The raiding party must catch it.”
Kyunghoon’s voice suddenly became quieter.
“That’s the only thing…”
He couldn’t finish his sentence and his face contorted.
A memory came to him.
The phrase he had seen in the two wills came to mind now.
He realized why he felt so uncomfortable.
In the destroyed land of Korea . The wills discovered.
[If only the dimension movers and high-ranking awakened people had remained, it wouldn’t have happened like this… It’s just a pity. I apologize to everyone….] [Even if we had
prevented the exploration of the high-ranking awakened ones at that time. No, as much as possible, they could have been prevented. [If only I had helped him return safely, this wouldn’t have happened.]
The commander’s will left at the headquarters contained the same phrase as the last president’s will found in Busan.
The content was no different from what he said now.
The disappearance of a high-ranking awakened person and a dimensional shifter.
Now was the time when something that had always been curious was happening.
*
People could not see Kyung-hoon’s expression.
That was because those who had glimpsed the possibility in Kyung-hoon’s words were discussing their opinions.
“Uin and High-level “It’s a strike from the awakened ones… I don’t think it’s a bad idea… They’re the ones who attack people whenever they see them.”
“Will the incentive work? If we do something wrong, everyone might flock out.”
“Well, that’s not a bad thing. Because of the difference in movement speed, we will be separated along the way anyway. The only difference is where we fight.”
“It looks okay to me too. It looks like we can block the monsters that are lured down by the defense line.”
Fortunately, there were no more monarch-level monsters to be seen.
There might be more coming out of that black hole, but it would be enough to defeat them before they happen and close the hole.
People saw hope and the plan began to be added step by step.
Even the President sighed. He could barely see the road.
He quietly said to Kyung-hoon sitting next to him,
“I’ve finally calmed down. Thanks to you, I survived.”
Kyung-hoon’s answer could not be heard, but the President continued,
“But what do you think the probability of success is? I’m sure it’s not below 50%, right?”
It was a slightly absurd question, but it was an unavoidable question for the president, who was in charge of the people’s life and death.
This time, we heard Kyung-hoon’s answer. It was a completely unexpected answer.
“What would you do if there was little chance of success?”
It was a small voice that only the President could hear, but the content was completely different.
The President turned his head and looked at the awakened man, who was said to be the strongest in the world.
He had a strange expression on his face.
The President opened his mouth with an angry expression.
“There is no way we are planning a mission that will fail. “Did you take it out?”
The Awakened shook his head at his words,
“I’m sorry. I said it wrong.”
“What on earth does that mean?”
Kyung-hoon slowly opened his mouth,
“For example, if the entire raid that went to kill the monsters were killed and the destruction of Korea, and indeed humanity, was delayed by just a few years, would that be a failure or a success?”
Kyung-hoon has now learned why the destruction of this world came later than the world he lived in.
It was because this world had prevented destruction once. Thanks to the strategy created just now, the destruction was pushed back a few more years.
President He looked at Kyung-hoon.
“You are setting a very sinister example. Are you saying it is that dangerous?”
Although it was actually something that would happen in the future, Kyung-hoon just nodded,
“…Yes, you can look at it that way.”
In response to Kyung-hoon’s answer, the President asked again,
“Then is there another alternative?”
Kyung-hoon closed his eyes.
As far as he knew, there was no alternative. It was the best way he could think of.
If he went with the army, he would only lose more troops. Without the army, he couldn’t hold the defense line.
Bring in low-level awakened people. Even if he gathered them together, it was no different from going with an army.
It wouldn’t help and there would only be no one left to hunt the monsters after the battle.
But if his plan went according to plan, a certain future was waiting. The raiding party would be wiped out and humanity would survive a little longer. .
Kyung-hoon opened his mouth,
“As far as I know, there is no better way.”
The President nodded at Kyung-hoon’s answer,
“Then we should proceed as is.”
The President said with a calm expression,
“Anyway, ever since the monsters appeared, there has never been a time without danger. Many countries have been destroyed. To be honest, only a few countries have maintained civilization. Korea has barely survived yet, but who knows if it will still be alive tomorrow.” You can not.”
In the president’s expression, an exhausted and resigned old man suddenly showed his face.
“If we don’t stop it, everyone will die now, and if we stop it, if we can live a few more years, we have no choice but to proceed with the operation. I feel sorry for the awakened people who have to go on such a dangerous operation, but Sacheon “If I care about Mann’s life, I have no choice but to approve this operation.”
Suddenly, the room became quiet. Everyone was listening to the president.
Everyone had the same face as the president. People in this world were closer to death than Kyung-hoon thought.
The president asked the generals.
“Has it been decided?” Or was there a different opinion?”
“No, we decided to proceed with the operation.”
In the end, it was decided to go with the strategy that Kyung-hoon had mentioned.
Kyung-hoon whispered to the president,
“You will regret it over time.”
“Even if I regret it, I will make the same decision.”
No, it was clear that he would regret it. The will that Gyeong-hoon saw was full of regret.
“Then all that remains is to persuade the awakened people.”
“My family is behind me and I have nowhere to go now. Everyone will follow me.”
The Pacific Ocean and the sky had recently fallen into the hands of monsters.
Now there was nowhere else to run.
“Are you sure Kyung-hoon has no intention of joining the raid?”
Kyung-hoon was different from other awakened people. He was able to escape this country.
But Kyung-hoon shook his head.
“I will go too.”
The President grinned.
“Look, they say it, but dimension shifters are our heroes.”
Kyung-hoon smiled bitterly at the president’s words.
He was no hero. He was neither a person of character nor a pushover.
Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t have the thought of helping people, but the reason he moved was different.
He had to go to Mt. Baekdu.
The summit of Mt. Baekdu was the place where he crossed into this world. This is where he disappeared from the records.
So far I haven’t found any other way to go back.
Portals were also being researched and AI and robots were being created, but they were not progressing faster than the original history.
Even in the world of monsters, there was no way to return to the original world and the original time.
In the end, he had no choice but to place his last hope.
On Mt. Baekdu, where his records disappeared.
Either die or
go home.
There was no word that a body had been found, so it was worth a try.
Kyung-hoon spoke again.
“I will go too. To Mt. Baekdu.”
