I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 30
Episode 30 [Experimental Subject (1)]
“It’s definitely not 200 million won, is it?”
-200 million dollars.
Kyung-hoon stared blankly at his phone screen at the number on a different level.
-Both of them sent 100 million dollars each. Since it is not completely cured, this is not a bad number.
“It’s not that bad, it’s amazing.”
Gyeong-hoon had now crossed into another dimension with a factory under his name, but if you look at it closely, he was still just a small citizen.
He was dumbfounded by the huge amount of money.
-You can’t spend all the money that came in. It would be better to keep it for a while and distribute it to long-term investments. It seems like a good idea.
Kyung-hoon was disappointed at Eve’s words.
“So it’s money that can’t be used now?”
– You could just exchange some of it for gold and take it back to Korea. This world doesn’t yet recognize space-expanding backpacks. There is no need to worry about getting caught for smuggling.
Eve’s words made Kyung-Hoon feel like a criminal.
“Let’s do that.”
Kyung-Hoon answered in a shaky voice.
After that, Kyung-Hoon mailed the remaining potions to each other by courier.
He was completely cured. You may think that you need more because it is not, but the healing potion was limited to that level anyway.
Besides, there was only one healing potion left.
“You don’t know how to make a healing potion, right?”
-Yes, there was no such information.
If I couldn’t get more potions, I had to find out how to make them.
“There’s still a long way to go.”
Anyway, making money by selling potions went well.
Now it was time to do the last thing he had to do here in Hong Kong.
Kyung-hoon carried his backpack and headed to Kowloon Park.
Although it was late in the morning, he could still see elderly people exercising Tai Chi.
He put earphones in his ears . The sight of Kyung-hoon crossing the park with his backpack on was no different from that of locals taking a morning walk.
Kyung-hoon moved to a place with no people as much as possible.
He left the path and entered the forest, and when he confirmed that no one was watching, he immediately walked into the dimension. I opened the door.
Sigh.
A black hole was created next to the tree, and Kyung-hoon jumped into the hole.
A black hole appeared on top of a building near Jungnangcheon.
As soon as the hole appeared, Kyung-hoon jumped out of it.
Kyung-hoon’s expression after coming out. It was not that good.
When I entered the dimensional corridor, I found that the control center portal where Eve was originally located was blocked. The fact
that the portal was blocked meant that I could no longer go out of the portal. In the end, it meant that the basement of the control center had collapsed.
” “What happened to the control center? Should we check?”
-It has already reached the end of its lifespan. It is reasonable to assume that it has closed itself.
It was just as Eve said. I felt a little disappointed, but going there again was a waste of time.
After thinking about it, Kyung-Hoon finally decided to go to his original destination.
Gyeonghoon stood on the rooftop and looked at Jungnangcheon. Perhaps because time had passed, the water level had gone down a lot.
Gyeonghoon came down from the building and headed toward Jungnangcheon. When I arrived at the Jungnangcheon Stream, it seemed like I could now cross the river I had worked so hard to cross last time without a bridge.
And, Kyung-hoon has already destroyed the last remaining bridge.
He looked at Jungnangcheon again. Fortunately, the giant fish monster that destroyed the bridge seemed to have returned to the Han River.
Now it was time to go to the next destination.
The next destination was the [Awakened Training Center] south of the Han River, where I had originally planned to go.
“The evacuation location is the awakened training center, right?”
-According to the last information provided by your main body, the awakened people who received the call must go to the awakened training center south of the Han River. I didn’t know exactly
what the situation was, but the humans who were pushed out by the monsters were the first to go. It seemed like a defense line had been set up on the Han River.
In the meantime, the area north of the Han River was abandoned, and the awakened people received a call to gather at the training center.
“It’s good that we don’t have to worry because it’s the same place.”
Gyeonghoon walked straight into Jungnangcheon Stream. Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the inside of Jungnangcheon Stream was clean even when he checked with his improved eyes. The
flow speed was not fast and the depth did not reach waist level.
Although his pants were wet and uncomfortable, Gyeonghoon was able to safely cross Jungnangcheon Stream.
And, We went south along Jungnangcheon Stream. First, we planned to check the Han River.
Leaving the collapsed apartment complex next to us, Gyeonghoon walked along the riverbank.
Fortunately, there were almost no monsters to be seen near Jungnangcheon Stream.
‘Is it because of that big fish monster?’
Gyeong-hoon, who went south for about an hour while looking around with puzzled eyes, was able to arrive at the banks of the Han River.
“Oh my…”
Unfortunately, there were no intact buildings to the south of the Han River.
Hearing that they had set up a defense line based on the Han River. I was a little hopeful, but it wasn’t a cease-fire line, so there was no way the front line could be maintained. There was no way the Awakened Training Center I was going to would be okay, but I still had no intention of changing my goal. But there was still the problem of crossing the Han River. There was at least a bridge over
Jungnangcheon
. Although they remained, there were no traces of the Han River bridges. Since
there were no buildings blocking the view, you could see far away, but there were no bridges anywhere.
“If the defense line was set up based on the Han River, there is no way the Han River bridges would be fine…
” The problem was the giant fish monsters that quietly appeared through the river water.
Kyunghoon took out his phone and looked at the menu. I immediately saw the menu I wanted.
4. Monster Encyclopedia
He pressed the button.
[Nail Lett: A rat made huge by mana. As a characteristic, it has strong claws. They tend to form family groups, build underground nests, and store various items in the nest. When hunting, you can get surprisingly good rewards.]
When he pressed the button, pictures and descriptions of monsters continued on the screen, starting with the rat monster he first encountered.
“After all, it’s impossible to search for them one by one.”
There were many types of monsters in the encyclopedia, but the interface was very poor.
To find the monster you wanted, you had to check each one one by one.
“Eve.”
-Please point your cell phone camera in the direction of the monster.
Kyung-hoon took out his cell phone and pointed the camera at the monster leisurely crossing the Han River.
-The name of that monster is ‘Big Salurus.’
[Giant fish-like monster that first appeared in the Amazon River. . It is a captain-level monster, and the fact that this monster appears in the river means that the entire river is polluted with monsters.]
Eve found the encyclopedia and read its contents. Kyung-hoon immediately turned off the encyclopedia menu and put his cell phone in his pocket.
“Thanks to Eve, it’s convenient… but pointing the cell phone camera at the monster every time might be problematic.” I
thought I’d have to find another way when I got back. In any case, I had to use
a rubber boat without power to cross the Han River, which is infested with giant monsters. Crossing was impossible.
Swimming made no sense, and moving to the sky was unthinkable.
Then the only thing left was down the river.
Gyeonghoon started walking east along the riverside.
The goal was Gwangnaru Station. Tunnel under the Han River. It was a connected subway station on Line 5.
***
While Gyeong-hoon was moving east along the Han River, Jin-hyuk was conducting an operation with the military in the original world.
Deep in the mountains of Gangwon-do, not far from the ceasefire line.
Jin-hyuk and his successor, Kim Seong-jae, were He was hiding in the bushes and keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
The mountain was quiet. If it were any other time, the sounds of mountain birds would have been noisy, but nature, invaded by humans, remained silent and waited for people to leave. Jinhyeok was silently
observing the surroundings as usual, but Seongjae had been silent for some time. He was sticking it out.
In the end, Seongjae couldn’t hold back and grumbled.
“Do we have to continue to work together with the military? “I wonder if someone didn’t join the military… I feel bad because I feel like I’m being treated like nothing more and more.”
It was a small whisper, but the anger from all that time was contained within it.
Jinhyuk also couldn’t bear to refute his words. He felt the same way to some extent.
In the beginning, operations that were carried out with mutual help, as in the phrase “cooperation between the military and civilians,” have recently degenerated into something completely different.
All actual strikes and important matters were handled by the military and they themselves were left out of the picture.
Today’s operation was especially severe.
The center of the mountain where the operation was in progress was surrounded by only soldiers, and they were left on the outermost edge of the network, standing guard indefinitely.
“If we want to do it this way, we leave all operations to the soldiers. It’s hard to handle civilian areas, so there’s no reason to continue being treated like this.”
However, there was no way he could stop doing something that seemed like he was doing it right when the president even came forward and
apologized. Jinhyuk and Sungjae were well aware of this reason. However, he was angry at the continued bullying and grumbled.
He said something again . It was time to get down. Jinhyuk raised his hand and stopped Seongjae.
Seongjae immediately looked ahead with a serious expression.
Jinhyuk raised his index finger and pointed at 11 o’clock. ‘One person at 11 o’clock.’
Seongjae couldn’t see anything, but he believed Jinhyuk’s words.
Jinhyuk said that there were soldiers who were superior to him, but he had never seen anyone as skilled as Jinhyuk.
Seongjae quietly held the gun and pointed the gun in the direction Jinhyuk pointed. .
The adjustment is automatic. Since the target was not visible, I planned to sweep the surrounding area with aimed fire.
There was no need for passwords or warnings. I was dealing with a mutant monster anyway.
Jinhyeok pulled the trigger first.
Ta-ta-bang!
And Seong-jae’s gun lit up. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Tree branches broke, and blades of grass scattered in all directions.
Then, a translucent film fluttered in what was thought to be a grove of grass. “I can see
it
!”
Seongjae also found his goal. He immediately changed the magazine and tried to shoot again.
It was then.
Jinhyuk raised his hand to stop shooting.
“Stop shooting! Stop!”
At Jinhyeok’s sudden command, Seongjae stopped shooting, and the object that looked like a forest quickly retreated in the opposite direction. It
looked like a mutant. As it retreated, it continued to change its color from dirt to wood.
Moreover, it retreated too quickly. Tracking was impossible.
The radio rang loudly as if he had heard a gunshot. As the radio continued, Seongjae had to report first. When I finished the
radio call and looked back at Jinhyuk, he was looking down at the spot where the target had been a moment ago.
Jinhyuk There were dots of blood spraying where I was looking.
“Why did you tell me to stop shooting?”
Seongjae asked, standing next to Jinhyuk. Jinhyuk had never experienced anything like this before.
Jinhyuk answered in a dark voice.
“It was a person. ”
“yes?”
“It kept changing color and moving quickly, but it was a person.”
“What is that?”
The rumors he had heard all along came to Seongjae’s mind.
A story about mutant humans being imprisoned in the military and being experimented on. The story is that they are trying to artificially create mutant humans.
Even the Minister of Government Administration and Home Affairs was summoned to the prosecution, but the government denied such rumors until the end.
But now it seemed like I had come across one of those rumors.
“I guess I should just keep my mouth shut, right?”
Jinhyuk nodded at Seongjae’s words.
The military was mobilized. There was no way an individual could do something like this.
Jinhyuk had seen many things in the military just like Kyunghoon. Although he hated injustice, he knew that there were some things he could not do.
“For some reason, it seemed like they kept turning to the outskirts. “I was doing something like this.”
Seongjae seemed satisfied after finding out how the situation had turned out.
However, Jinhyuk’s expression did not calm down. Jinhyuk started this job to help people.
I knew that mutant humans could be dangerous, but shooting at someone just because they were dangerous was a different matter.
Gunfire began to be heard in the distance. A mutant human who was running away was discovered.
The sound of gunfire continued, and a moment later, a report came on the radio that a mutant monster had been captured.
Seongjae immediately began preparing to withdraw, but Jinhyuk was still standing in front of the blood stains.
Jinhyuk’s eyes sparkled as he continued to look at the blood stains.
Next to the blood stain, I saw a strange fallen leaf. A lone, clean fallen leaf among the blood splatters around it.
Jinhyuk picked up the fallen leaves. The leaves turned into a cloth with words written in blood on his hand.
Jinhyuk grabbed the rag.
I found something like this and I couldn’t stay still.
I needed advice.
In times like this, there was only one person I could trust and ask questions.
