steal or die

“Huh… ! huh… !”

As the screen stretched, the surrounding background passed by the two of them.

Paik Geon-wu briefly marveled at the new world of nothingness that unfolded in front of him. Hearing Ha Yeon-woo’s words, he immediately kicked the ground.

Now I was running to death, cycling bets through my breath.

Naturally, Ha Yeon-woo was following him at a moderate speed.

“Can you go and take care of it first?”

“This is the first time, so the roads may cross… ! Better move together!”

After being asked a question, Paik Geon-woo pondered for a moment and then gasped for breath to express his opinion.

“please… please… .”

Soon after, he closed his mouth and almost cried, playing with his feet.

Didn’t ask again.

I know very well that it is better to follow the choice in this case.

It wasn’t that Baek Kun-wu was wrong. Because Ha Yeon-woo had only one thousand experiences in this neighborhood.

The purpose is not to wipe out everything, but to save his parents, so just following and assisting was one of the good ways.

A sign at the entrance to Busan that I just passed by in the vicinity of Gumi, where there was a clash with a group of rogue birds.

I don’t know exactly, but it’s a distance that would take at least an hour by car. The two covered that distance in just fifteen minutes or so.

It would be slower than a simple calculation because it wasn’t just using the road, but it was a story that it moved at a speed that was almost equal to the maximum speed of the vehicle.

There were forces that could collide, mutant creatures, and groups of presumed survivors, but they were all ignored.

To be precise, the hostile creatures couldn’t catch up, and the group presumed to be survivors were ordinary people without mana, so there was no conflict.

‘It’s luck for this guy.’

Although he moved to a place where no one seemed to be present, the fact that he never faced the Awoken forces meant that the sky smiled at him.

Because that one bump will decide whether you can save your parents or not.

Of course, it was a situation where life and death could not be guaranteed at the moment.

The current location of the two is near Sasang Station in Busan.

Passing through the half-destroyed Gimhae International Airport and crossing the Nakdonggang River, they were about to enter Busan in earnest.

“The sound… .”

Things Ha Yeon-woo noticed through his senses even before he passed the airport.

Paik Geon-wu, who noticed it belatedly, stopped and began to distinguish them.

“A fight between forces… .”

As if he had figured out the cause, he muttered while gnashing his teeth and met his gaze.

From noble mtl dot com

Like I don’t know what to do.

‘He’s awkward getting help.’

It was worth it.

It is because he awakened at an age when he could not even escape from the arms of his parents, and based on his overwhelming talent, he has always lived in the position of the strong, helping and giving generously.

Moreover, even if it was a disaster, there was almost no damage to the awakened people in Seoul.

In fact, isn’t this the first ‘wall’ that Paik Kun-woo goes through?

It is not necessarily a lack of force that hits a wall.

Psychological anxiety, unresolved obsession, sense of loss, sense of defeat, inferiority, fear. Each of those things are elements that act as walls.

Contrary to the situations that you have always been able to handle and overcome with your own abilities, your heart is in a hurry, and you are confused because the answer is invisible.

It was too young. Because I couldn’t get my head around it at all.

What is the beginning and end of the quarrel you hear around you, where are your parents, and what needs to be resolved first.

He sighed and continued talking at the sight of his gaze, unable to prioritize.

“A place where your parents would be. Think in order of closeness.”

Paik Kun-wu nodded immediately and replied after a while.

“… I think the first thing that comes to mind is a house and a store.”

“store?”

“I bought a building for you to rest comfortably. There is a cafe on the first floor… .”

Saha-gu, Busan, the hometown of his parents and his hometown.

It is said that preparing a house and building there was the first thing he did after earning money while living as an awakened person.

He added that the main house was a house and the building was a building, and they all purchased land and built it separately after the gate incident.

Both of them are not destroyed by quite a few monsters, and there are bunkers and survival items underground, so temporary evacuation is possible.

“The house and shop are 5 minutes on foot.”

“First of all, stop by from the nearest one, and remove anything that gets in the way if it gets in the way.”

Paik Kun-wu nodded with a firm expression as if he had sorted out his thoughts at Yeon-woo Ha’s words. I immediately kicked my feet again.

“Then I’ll go home first!”

* * *

Saha-gu is located at the southern end of Busan.

On the right side, in Jung-gu, Dong-gu, Busanjin-gu, and Nam-gu, large and small clashes continued from a few hours ago.

It continues even now, but there are only three or four places that show the aftermath enough to shake the ground.

In other words, it was also that the winner of the fight had been roughly determined.

“f*ck… Dog-like pups… .”

squeak-

The man’s neck dropped at once as he lay down with his stomach showing and swearing.

From that moment on, the son-in-law becomes as quiet as a rat.

Thanks to the action of the man who cut his throat, the noise at the scene was reduced, and the atmosphere calmed down.

It was worth it. The man I just killed was the head of the forces that were occupying this place, and most of the people who drew their swords and fought back in Jung-gu died.

“Kimura-sama!”

Kimura consciously brushed off the blood on his sword.

One of his adjutants approached and began to report.

“It seems that the cleanup here in Jung-gu, Busan is almost over.”

“Has the base been prepared to bring the mainlanders?”

It was safe to say that they first infiltrated Nam-gu and cleared Busanjin-gu, where the city hall was located in the past, and even Dong-gu and Jung-gu were virtually taken over.

The reason why the operation was focused on inland passages and coastal areas was because they thought of the future.

It was necessary to bring in the remaining survivors from the Japanese mainland, and it was close to setting a path forward.

“There is still one place left.”

“You left?”

As a Japanese, there was no way he knew the topography of Busan.

“The inland passageway is progressing smoothly, but the southern part of Busan has not yet been completely cleared.”

The adjutant pointed to one side and said.

“It’s a place called Saha-gu, but if we clean up that place, all of southern Busan will fall into our hands.”

Hayato Kimura.

A middle-aged man known as the strongest man in Japan, a former ministerial-level official of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, moved his gaze along the tip of his finger.

“The marines clear the occupied territory. Gather food together, select a building to use as a barracks, and then switch to chokepoint guard duty.”

“All right.”

Unlike Korea, where males were unconditionally drafted, Japan had a system of military service.

Therefore, unlike Korea, which created a separate unit composed only of awakeners after the Gate incident for discernment, Japan melted the awakeners into the existing organization.

Marines who are like soldiers are all non-awakened.

Most of Haejo, a noncommissioned officer, Haewi, a lieutenant officer, and Haejwa, a commander-level officer, were awakened people.

In the case of ministerial-level executives like Kimura, all of them are high-ranking Awakeners, except for the head of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Since he was in Tokyo at the time of the disaster, he must have died long ago. As of now, I didn’t even know.

“We will reorganize the organization around the Three Stars. Keep in mind that you have to infiltrate quickly and clean up quickly so that even one more person in the mainland can buy.”

Second Class Haejwa, who was in charge of the adjutant, quickly disappeared after saluting with a determined expression.

Kimura, who was left alone, muttered as he casually looked over the horrors they had created with their own hands.

“Japan hasn’t collapsed yet… There is no way the Great Japanese Empire will perish by monsters.”

Contrary to what he said firmly, the current situation in Japan is miserable.

Not to the level of war or terrorism, but to the extent of slaughter and plunder by launching an invasion.

After the disaster, the government, which continued local warfare, declared its own survival and perished, and virtually all of the four islands except for Honshu, the largest of the four islands, were occupied by monsters.

Of course, the situation was similar in Honshu, the beginning and end of the Japanese continent.

The economic level of the residents, the urban landscape developed, and the importance set by the state were of no use.

There was no way the monster would attack because it covered that.

The capital cities of Tokyo, Saitama, Nagano, and Tochigi prefectures were wiped out by monsters in less than a week, and out of dozens of prefectures, only five remained that could be described as being dominated by “humans.”

From then on, only animal senses, instincts, and primitive things became the driving force that moved people.

Full-fledged riots and tribulations that began with the fall of Tokyo.

Running away from strong monsters, dealing with weak monsters, the gathered people build up their forces one by one. Even in the midst of the ending where everyone died, each other killed and coveted each other.

Kimura judged that there was no future.

At least, the majority of the military was composed of awakened people. Among them, in the case of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, it was fortunate that the military standard was alive.

In addition, the unit where Kimura was located was located in Shimane Prefecture, which is the closest to Busan.

Thanks to the mountainous area by the sea, there were many survivors, and the number of people who fled from other cities amounted to tens of thousands.

The preceding news was also heard from the Awoken who had fled and their families.

Executives from the Self-Defense Forces, who are like real Awakeners, civilian Awakeners who gathered after hearing rumors, and civilians driven into a corner. Food is getting scarce, and monsters are suffocating little by little.

It was time to make a choice.

No, in fact, everyone who could have an opinion knew. that I have to go to Korea. Other than that, there is no hope for the future.

It was not that there were no mutant creatures in Japan.

I also confirmed that their level was at most 3rd or 4th tier.

In the case of ants specialized in collective action, they had a slightly higher risk, but they were still much easier to deal with than monsters.

If so, I had no choice but to naturally arrive at the hypothesis that Korea without Cube would have already found some stability.

As long as there were no monsters, it was an environment where the Awakened could plan for the future, unless they were massacred.

It was this morning that the elites were brought over like that.

They came to this place using high-level Awakeners and ships that were still operational.

Of course, there was damage along the way.

There were no monsters in the sea, but there were many mutant creatures.

It was only after losing a boat to a large school of unidentified fish that it docked at Busan Port.

Only 3,000 people arrived at the end of the sacrifice.

There were no mechanics, cleaners, or cooks to service the facilities.

All of the combat troops gathered with the promise to give their lives if they were not taken away.

Some of the non-awakened ones were recruited and brought in as young and promising combatants who were active in the unit.

“It’s not my fault, it’s not Japan’s fault.”

With his eyes flickering in madness, he made a resolution, and he moved again to invade the Sahagu the adjutant said.

“It is such a world… If you don’t take it, the world will die… .”

* * *

“mom! dad!”

A spacious 6-story building located in the downtown area of Saha-gu.

It was Baek Geon-wu who screamed loudly from the entrance without thinking about enemies or monsters.

The first house I went to was Heotang.

It had a relatively intact appearance, but the inside was empty.

Even the locking mechanism worked normally, and when I opened the door and went in, the food inside the basement was the same.

Meaning no one has stopped by since the incident.

Paik Kun-wu, who saw this, panicked again, but Ha Yeon-woo thought rather positively.

A luxurious two-story mansion in the central district. The fact that there were no signs of any intrusion means that the situation was roomy.

The building here also had a fairly intact exterior.

Unless you lose your life in the beginning. It is safe to say that the chances of survival increased dramatically.

Of course, even if I explained to Paik Kun-wu right now, his anxiety didn’t seem to diminish, so I didn’t bother to say it.

The lobby on the 1st floor of the building we entered.

“someone… there is.”

Paik Geon-wu added strength to the sword in his hand and muttered as if chewing.

This is because the identities of the owners of the feeling still felt are unclear.

The huge lobby, which would normally have a resident security guard, was empty, but there were a lot of people in the shopping mall covered with various items.

Apparently, the owners of this building are their parents.

If an unknown force is occupying, there is a very high probability that the way to find the family has become distant.

When Paik Kun-wu walked past the lobby with an expression that he would kill anyone who occupied the building without his parents’ permission.

“Who, who are you?”

A cautious voice came from inside the tightly closed shopping mall.
