I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 70
Episode 70 [Doppelganger]
Puck! Pow! puck!
puck.
…
…
At some point, I couldn’t feel any relative resistance.
Kyung-hoon also unconsciously stopped swinging his fist.
He stopped punching, but Kyung-hoon couldn’t come to his senses.
The world seemed distorted and it was difficult to breathe. My body tingled.
[ Come to your senses…. Wake up! ]
I felt like someone was shouting from afar, but it was hard to tell what they were saying.
Burning…
It felt like I was in boiling water. I felt like my body was turning inside out and my skin was boiling.
The mana pushed in by the monster completely turned his insides. The mana in my body continued to twist.
Now I felt as if I was filled with mana not only inside my body but also outside of my body.
It seemed as if the whole world was made of mana.
“I’m dizzy…”
Kyung-hoon began to lose consciousness in the confusion.
A mumbling sound was heard again.
[…up… B grade… …hard!]
*
The inside of the hangar was full of flames.
Not all monsters were hit by bombs, but none of them caught fire. Thanks to the shield and the ability to heal wounds, he hadn’t died yet, but that was all.
Ugh. Grr.
The monsters moved towards the enemy with their bodies on fire. I crawled on the floor and walked unsteadily. Where they were headed, there was Kyung-hoon, covered in burns.
Kyung-hoon sat down in a daze.
Beneath his body was a mangled corpse with several knives and weapons embedded in it.
The heat inside the hangar was such that it was difficult for living things to withstand it.
Sizzle. Sizzle.
Although his shield was stronger than that of the monsters, Kyung-hoon could not help but get burned.
The flaming monsters approached. There were no monsters intact, but as dozens of monsters approached, they seemed to be surrounded by flames. The monster that came closest stretched out its hand towards Kyung-hoon. A burning hand came right in front of his nose.
The monster holding out its hand didn’t know, but Kyung-hoon was no longer suffering from burns.
Unlike before, the heat did not penetrate into the shield, and the redness of the burned skin was gradually subsiding.
Flashing.
Kyunghoon opened his eyes.
He finally came to his senses thanks to the effect of his level increase.
He pulled out the sword from the corpse and swung it.
Suddenly!
The fire surrounding Gyeonghoon was cut in half. The upper and lower bodies of the monsters were separated.
Kyung-hoon took out a potion from his backpack.
It was a potion made by Jin Xiawei. It smelled bad because no fragrance was added, but now was not the time to worry about that. The bottle neck broke and Kyung-hoon swallowed half the potion and sprinkled the rest on his body.
Chii Iik.
The potion boiled in the heat, but the effect was clear.
The burned skin became fine and the pain disappeared.
The remaining monsters wriggled and crawled towards Kyung-hoon. There was no need to deal with them.
Kyung-hoon ignored the approaching monsters and ran to the hangar door.
Grrrr.
The hangar door was also covered in flames.
However, he escaped through the fire and through a narrowly opened door. After running to the runway, Kyunghoon looked back.
Hurrrr.
The hangar was on fire.
And the mana was burning too.
Mana erupted from inside the hangar and spread in all directions. And a lot of it also flowed to Kyung-hoon.
It was Kyung-hoon who was watching the scene with an expression of admiration.
But it was even more amazing a little while ago.
The mana released by hundreds of monsters as they died was enough to fill the airport.
That was the reason why Kyung-hoon’s grade went up.
Kyung-hoon checked inside his body. Mana, which had been mixed up a while ago, has stabilized.
Moreover, the amount of mana increased depending on the grade.
“I feel like there’s something mixed up, but I guess there’s no problem?”
Kyung-hoon, who was checking his physical condition, tilted his head. Mana felt a little different than before.
[Are you okay? The cameras are broken so we can’t check the situation.]
Eve’s voice came from the inside pocket where she kept her cell phone.
During the battle, the wireless earphones flew off, so Eve had no choice but to speak through the speaker.
Of course, even if I had earphones left, I couldn’t stay healthy in that heat.
Kyunghoon first took out his cell phone from his pocket. Cell phones made for military use were different. It was a little scorched, but my phone was still intact. The bulletproof vest was well protected and the backpack seemed to be relatively safe.
The burnt ends of the hair were a problem, but it was negligible since it saved his life.
[When viewed with a cell phone camera, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong. It is difficult to determine accurately due to the low resolution.]
The drone also ran out of battery and crashed onto the runway.
Eve had only one eye left: the cell phone camera.
“Well, let’s check it out later.”
Kyung-hoon shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing wrong with moving mana and he didn’t feel any other problems.
He decided to put the mana problem aside for now.
No monsters escaped from the burning hangar. Mana stopped flowing and the flames gradually decreased. Kyung-hoon He opened his mouth as he looked at the hangar filled with flames.
“That monster. No, it’s not known, so it probably doesn’t have a name, right? “Can I add it?”
[It doesn’t matter. I will add it to the encyclopedia.]
“Then there is something similar. It is called a doppelganger.”
[I will name it Doppelganger.]
Kyung-hoon asked Eve again,
“But do those monsters also have mana stones?”
[I think there is.]
Kyung-hoon also had the same thought. He sighed.
“You mean we have to cut open the burnt corpse and dig up the mana stones?”
There were hundreds of human-shaped corpses.
“Can we not do this?”
Kyung-hoon felt terrible about taking out the mana stone for the first time.
But I couldn’t not do it.
It seemed to be the same everywhere that it took more time to clean up after an intense fight.
Gyeonghoon took his time collecting mana stones.
They were pulled out not only from inside the hangar but also from monsters lying all over the runway.
Unfortunately, the monsters that destroyed the spider golem left no trace.
Instead, a huge hole was created on one side of the runway. It was the traces of a spider golem’s self-destruction.
“It’s a shame. I wish I could have kept using it.”
[This time, while modifying and controlling the structure, we have figured out the structure to some extent. As research on the use of mana stones progresses, self-development is also possible.] Kyung-hoon looked at the
cell phone in his hand. When I hear things like this, I sometimes get worried. ‘ Well,
it’s probably similar to being a genius.’
Gyeonghoon let go of his worries and prepared to go back.
He grabbed as many guns and ammo as he could find with the emblem on them.
Unfortunately, they were unable to search the entire airport.
Other monsters that had noticed the huge explosion were slowly approaching. And so did the day. It was getting dark. It was time to go back.
Kyung-hoon looked at the hangar, where only the remains of fire remained.
“Other guys who make fun of people are a problem, but that old man was really dangerous. “His skills were much better than mine.”
It was a monster that overwhelmed Kyung-hoon, who held a weapon with his bare hands. It would have been impossible to win if he had not risked his weak body and started a dog fight.
[His skills were better than those of the awakened instructors in the training video.]
“Judging by the stickiness in his hands, he has been training for a long time. Has he spent a long time among humans?”
[There is still not enough information.]
“It’s all burned down, so there’s no way to check from here. Should I go down to Daejeon…” [
It’s better to go back and think about it. We don’t know when the remaining doppelgangers will return.]
More than half of the doppelgangers were not seen. Everyone was away for the search, but Kyung-hoon and Eve didn’t know that.
“Let’s check it out next time we come. There are a lot of things left behind. If the number of those who return is small, we have to deal with them and take them back.”
Not only did he have to take any weapons that might have been left inside the building, but he also had to take the items inside the half-broken transport plane.
Kyung-hoon packed up a few relics and jumped into the black hole.
“The level has gone up, but there are no enhancements to the characteristics?”
[The characteristics of dimension shifters are not well known. You have to look for it yourself.]
After the conversation between Kyung-hoon and Eve, the hole closed.
Crackle crackle.
The airport where Kyung-hoon disappeared was very desolate.
The hangar, where the fire was dying out, was emitting only black smoke, and only the doppelgänger corpses with their chests ripped out were left scattered everywhere.
Other monsters that could not approach because of the monsters that had taken over the airport slowly approached the airport.
Crumble. Cry.
The monsters saw a huge amount of dead bodies that night. A party of monsters broke out.
*
Three days later, Kyung-hoon reappeared at the airport.
“There’s nothing?”
Wow.
– It’s really empty.
Even though the drone passed by and searched the airport, there were no monsters.
The bodies scattered on the runway were no longer visible, and the hangar was empty.
– There were many traces of corpses being dragged away. Other monsters had taken them. It appears to be.
Fortunately, all the monsters took were corpses.
Gyeong-hoon was able to find regular firearms and Awakened firearms in other buildings. He
was also able to obtain quite a few bullets with emblems engraved on them. It was not enough to create an Awakened unit, but it was enough for one person to use. It was a sufficient amount.
Gyeong-hoon said as he was taking the relics from the transport plane.
“It’s good because there’s nothing, but…”
Contrary to what he said, Gyeong-hoon looked uneasy.
“It’s true that another monster took the body, but where did the remaining doppelgängers go? ?”
-There is not enough information. Even if you check the surroundings with a drone, you can’t see any monsters that look like doppelgangers.
Gyeonghoon sighed and put the artifact back in his hand.
“You announced the information about doppelgangers, right? Even if everyone thinks it’s strange, you have to tell everyone.”
– Yes, I added it to the posts EV posts around the world. Unfortunately, most people don’t seem to believe it.
“It has to be that way. “It’s hard for me to believe it, even after seeing it in person.”
I needed more strength. The power to make people believe and force them to move.
The goal that was vaguely in Kyung-hoon’s mind became increasingly concrete.
*
Weeeeeee.
An underdog looked at a drone flying in the southern sky.
It was something I remembered. He had seen the destruction of that machine through the eyes of his clan.
He was able to recall some more memories.
The time when I was in human form and the time when I was asleep to maintain that form.
And I was able to recall how I transformed into another monster to search for humans and how the clan leader suddenly called me. Underdog looked south, where the drone was flying. There was an airport there. He had to go back to that airport.
“Kang,
” Underdog cried lowly toward the south.
The memories that came to mind were scattered again. Because the connection with the clan was lost, memories could not be maintained.
Moreover, I couldn’t understand the memories that came to mind because it was written in the form of an underdog rather than a human.
The young doppelgänger, or rather the Underdog, followed the other Underdog heading east. Disconnected from his clan, he was no different from an underdog.
Unless he encounters another higher species, he will end his life among these underdogs.
Just like other scattered clans.

When Kyung-hoon returned with the last relic, the broadcast was broadcasting special news again.
It was news of the failure of a multinational force joined by the U.S. government and several countries.
