I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 32
Episode 32 [Rescue (1)]
“Several sets of military uniforms, several artillery phones, canteens, field shovels, and various military equipment…”
Eunhye sighed after reading the note.
It was a different item from before, but I was still worried about this. They were things that worked.
Eunhye glanced up at Kyunghoon. He seemed more relaxed than before. She
wanted to say something because she felt something was wronged, but it wasn’t easy to say something in a situation where she was being helped. Eunhye expressed her true feelings by pouting, and then went away. He went back and brought back a piece of luggage.
“You know, but some of these items were taken from the military base, so it would be difficult if we got caught.”
“don’t worry.”
“But can you take this?”
Although the size was no joke, Kyung-hoon quickly lifted the luggage.
“Wow, I’ve seen it before, but the strength is no joke.”
Eunhye continued to watch as Kyunghoon disappeared into the back of the alley with his luggage full of luggage.
After confirming that there was no one around, Kyung-hoon put all the purchased items in his backpack and took a taxi back home.
“I need to buy a car.”
Kyung-hoon got out of the taxi and muttered as he watched the taxi leaving. Perhaps because I had money, it became annoying to call a taxi every time.
-We have to buy a house together. I have a studio, but the house is so small that it’s difficult to do anything.
“Okay, let’s finish this job and move on.”
Kyung-hoon also agreed with her. He thought it was time to get out of his own room.
-You need to buy a car that can drive autonomously. Level 3 is good, but level 2 is also fine. I can control it with just a little bit of modification. Eve continued talking. Her tone was business-like as usual, but I could feel a strange heat in Eve’s voice. Kyung-hoon wasn’t sure about his level, but he decided to follow her words if possible
. After
returning home, Gyeong-hoon started sewing for the first time in a long time. The division mark on his military uniform sparkled under the fluorescent lights. Yanggu-
gun, Gangwon
-do. On a hill close to the Civilian Control Line, a man in military uniform was hiding in the grass, looking north with a telescope.
It was extremely suspicious behavior to anyone who saw it, but fortunately no one was around.
Gyeonghoon put down the binoculars and opened his mouth.
“Should I say I’m lucky?”
-It seems like the facility had to be built in a hurry and was not properly hidden. I think it was a bit of a wrong idea, though.
“Well, maybe they didn’t intend to drag it out for long.”
Kyung-hoon put the telescope to his eyes again.
Far into the mountain along the access road from the main road, there was a three-story building.
It was a remaining building that had not been painted properly.
It was a building that was found after diligently searching the entire Yanggu-gun following the information written on the cloth.
Honestly, it wasn’t hard to find.
Eve called several non-commissioned officers she had connections with during her time in the military and collected chatter about soldiers posted on the Internet.
In addition, when we compared the place where Jinhyeok met the mutant human and the newly populated buildings, only the building we are looking at now remains.
“It was recently renovated, and it’s a military building where people who don’t belong to this division, like doctors, come and go.”
It was easier to find than expected, but the security wasn’t lax.
The guard post at the main gate was guarded by soldiers with strong barriers and guns, and soldiers could also be seen standing guard at the guard posts along the high walls surrounding the building.
“It looks like they are all loaded with live ammunition…”
The soldiers holding guns loaded with live ammunition and those without guns did not look the same on guard.
Moreover, the soldiers at the guard post were so nervous that they could shoot at any time.
“The problem is that the muzzle of the gun is pointing inward…”
The guard post was erected facing outward, but the soldiers were pointing their guns inward.
Just by looking at that alone, it was clear that they had come to the right place.
– It was time to head back.
At Eve’s words, Kyung-hoon looked up at the sky. It wasn’t yet time for the sun to set, but night in the mountains came early. “We’ve confirmed the location, so let’s withdraw today, as you said.”
I brought all the necessary equipment, but I couldn’t go in without properly scouting.
Just when Kyung-hoon was about to take out the backpack he had put in the bit.
Rustle.
The sound of breaking through the grass was heard from afar.
“Is it patrol?”
Kyung-hoon stepped back silently.
Behind was the small trench bit he had built. It was a hideout he had dug out of an abandoned grave he had made first upon arrival.
Kyung-hoon pushed himself into the bit and blocked the entrance with a pile of weeds.
‘It feels like I’m completely back to my active duty days.’
Kyung-hoon listened to the sounds outside while holding his breath in the stuffy beat that barely fit his body. There were
two footsteps approaching through the grass. Hearing the sound of them moving leisurely, it was clear that they had not been detected.
“When are we withdrawing?”
“Was it the day after tomorrow?”
Two young men’s voices came closer to the beat.
“But where on earth will the unit be after we leave?”
“I don’t know. There’s even talk going around that they might not come…”
“Huh? So you’re closing this place down?”
“Well, it’s really strange how things are going outside.”
Kyung-hoon, who was listening to the story, furrowed his brows. It was a really bad story.
“Ah, are you talking about having a registration system for mutants?”
“It was crazy. They may have been people before, but now they are all monsters. “That’s a registration system or something.”
“Aren’t some of them crazy? It seems like there are some quiet kids, too.”
“Fuck, you’re saying that because you didn’t see it then. Do you think you’d say that if you saw a guy who couldn’t even get a bullet cut off our kids’ limbs right in front of your eyes?”
The conversation between the two ended with the senior’s angry voice.
After the sound of the two’s footsteps disappeared into the distance, Kyung-hoon spent some more time and exited the beat.
“Do you think you’re in trouble?”
– Yes, at least at the latest. Or maybe it will close sooner than that.
“Isn’t it possible that it’s just a personnel change?”
-It seems like more fighting took place than then. In this situation, it is not a reasonable idea to increase the number of people who know about the situation here.
Of course, there were more times when the military didn’t make sense, but for now I agreed with her.
“Grunt.”
Kyung-hoon made a groaning sound.
The situation got worse. I spent time scouting and trying to find a way to rescue them, but there was no way I would have time.
“Phew, how many times has an operation gone as planned?”
He lamented in a self-mocking voice and took out the weapons from his backpack.
It was getting dark, but it was impossible to withdraw at this point.
After checking the weapons, he checked his camouflage. It would be difficult to enter today, but he had to at least do close reconnaissance.
Gyeonghoon stopped for a moment and waited for it to get dark.
It got dark quickly. After waiting a little while, the world turned black. Perhaps
because it was near the Gangwon-do Civilian Control Line, no other light was visible other than the light shining around the building.
‘Fortunately, the weather was also cloudy.’
Unlike ordinary people, Kyung-hoon could see everything even in complete darkness.
When I thought about it again, I realized how amazing it was to be able to see night as if it were day.
‘Night goggles almost look like a toy.’
After confirming the location of the building and the way to get there, Kyung-hoon relaxed his stiff limbs.
“Then, shall we see how effective this body is against the military?”
After relaxing with light words, he started running towards the building.
Wedge!
Sharp wind. The sound was small, and Kyung-hoon ran like the wind through the grass.
Black trees whizzed by, ditches and streams were pushed back.
It was a movement that no human could do even in broad daylight.
Hunting and training continued after being promoted to D-class. His movements were now completely outside human limits.
The building was quickly approaching. The barricaded entrance was getting closer.
The guard at the main gate rubbed his eyes at the grass swaying in the dark, but he could not find anything.
It was the same with the sentries at the guard post.
One of the two was on guard with night goggles on, but he didn’t notice Kyung-hoon jumping over the wall the moment he opened his eyes.
Poof.
It was a wall built quite high, but Kyung-hoon was wrapped around the wall. He was able to jump over the barbed wire in one go.
After landing gently on the floor inside, he quickly went to the wall of the building and clung to it. The place where Kyung-hoon was hiding was one of the garden trees planted along the building.
‘Phew.’
Kyung-hoon took a deep breath without saying a word.
He thought he would be able to sneak in without being noticed, but actually sneaking in was a completely different matter.
The tension that had built up towards the end was relieved a little.
Although he had not yet entered the building, just making it this far without being detected was enough. It was a satisfactory result.
The mutant humans the sentries were watching were superior to ordinary humans, but using their bodies properly was a completely different story.
Moreover, their level was higher, so it may have been natural that the sentries did not notice.
‘ The problem is inside this building…’
Although they came close to avoid the perimeter, entering this building was a completely different problem.
‘I don’t know the interior structure or the deployment of troops, so I can’t just attack them.’
To be honest, I didn’t think it would be okay to just rush in. If I could kill everyone who stood in my way…
But it was clear that things would get more complicated even after rescuing the people who were captured. If
there was someone inside who could give me information or even a spy who would respond. It would be nice, but I couldn’t hope for that.
‘Maybe I should just look around the outside and then go back and look up the layout of the house.’
Since it was an old building, there might have been some remaining blueprints.
Gyeong-hoon made up his mind, and the moment the guards turned their gaze, he climbed up the wall and soared above the building.
Of course, he was climbing up by holding onto the gap between the window and the wall, but if an ordinary person had seen it, he would have climbed up the wall. It must have looked like it was soaring.
As expected, there was no one guarding the rooftop of the building.
Of course, if it had been a war, an anti-aircraft battery would have been installed, but there was no way to do such a troublesome thing while guarding a mutant.
Kyung-hoon comfortably moved around the rooftop and assessed the situation of the building.
‘The external communication antenna is here, and fortunately the electricity seems to come from outside. There aren’t that many troops… Are they calling from a nearby division?
Or is there a separate unit staying outside?’
In any case, it was a good story for Kyung-hoon.
Unfortunately, the rooftop door was locked. Seeing that it was tightly sealed, it seemed difficult to open without making a sound.
That was when the throbbing pain occurred.
Kyung-
hoon frowned. His head was pounding.
He looked around from the rooftop. While I was watching, I felt a slight peck on my head.
Up until now, I thought it was just a migraine and ignored it, but now the pain was different from those symptoms.
It felt like someone was trying to drill a hole in my head.
‘Perhaps?’
A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he pulled up the mana in his body and sent it to his head.
As there were all kinds of characteristics, there was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be one that attacked his head.
It was the moment when he was just about to surround his head with mana.
‘Can you hear me? ?’
I heard a voice in my head.
