I am Noble

Surprised Jeong Hyojoo suddenly woke up. No, that's how much it's worth, and they're all gone? She grabs the rest of the phone in a hurry.

“Director Nam! What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Give me the phone! I have to ask him!”

“Are all the monsters you've captured gone? No, why? What made you disappear? ”

“Give me the phone! ”

“Who stole it? Or did Brownie eat it? Did you really do that? ”

The young couple who could not sleep while enjoying each other all night welcomed the day in a panic from the early morning. After the two of them argued over the phone, Lee-chul had to wait for a long time.

* * *

“Someone didn't steal it. It's not like another monster came and ate it. ”

The government mobilized military forces to monitor the Honam and Nonsan plains throughout the night. It was never an outside job. There are over 2,000. You can't steal that many things by avoiding the perimeter of the troops, nor did other monsters sneak in and eat them.

Several soldiers testified that they stood guard at dawn, and site investigations began to contour somewhat.

“It was before my shift. There was definitely a dead monster in front of me, and suddenly it turned into smoke. And then they disappeared as if scattered. It was as if it had been absorbed into the ground. I reported it as quickly as I could, but I was scolded. ”

Yeong-woong and his wife also flew to the scene on V-23. In the morning, they were devastated by the cleared plains. Jung Hyojoo, who lost several trillion won at once, was stunned.

“What is this……. ”

Crystalline scientists rushed in and inspected the area where the dead monsters were, using expensive equipment. I carried out an investigation with all my emotional equipment.

The result was surprising.

“A faint decision was made on the ground where the dead monsters were. ”

Remaining in the explanation of the elderly, Cheol did not conceal his surprise.

“Doctor, are you sure? ”

“Monster bodies decompose naturally and crystalline energy seems to have been absorbed into the ground. ”

“Is this possible? ”

“It's our first time, too. I never heard of any of this being reported. ”

Surprised Kyungwoong quickly intervened.

“You let the dead Yellow Mob down just for one night? So what about the crystalline extraction process? I could put the dead stuff in storage. Is that okay? ”

“That's not true. It is customary to dispose of monster bodies the day they are purchased. ”

“Yes?”

“If the process equipment does not fail, it is best to do so immediately. Never keep it for more than a day. It's time to finish the follow-up at the latest before midnight. ”

When the distributor buys a monster corpse, the distributor immediately transports it to a processing plant for crystal extraction. After the final treatment, only a little by-product and a little green crystals remain. For the company, storing it in a crystalline form is an immediate process because it costs little.

“In the process, most of the tissue that your body forms turns into smoke and disappears. There is a view that crystals are naturally absorbed. Anyway, except for crystals and a little bit of byproduct, there's very little blood or guts or leather left. ”

Unlike the Yellow Mob, the Red Mob is absorbed into the crystals as soon as it dies, and all the components that make up its body are transformed into energy. There are also no by-products.

“So you're saying that crystalline energy caused natural degradation because it wasn't processed immediately after capture? ”

“That's a compelling reasoning at the moment. Not one or two, more than 2,000 disappeared. We have eyewitness accounts of soldiers. And where the body was, the emotional equipment reacted. ”

“If crystalline energy is absorbed into the earth, then what happens to the land? ”

“I don't know about that. ”

He added with an embarrassing expression.

“But I don't want to do any farming on this land. A land where monstrous bodies have been decomposed and absorbed, so we don't know what's going to happen. ”

“What, if anything, are you talking about? ”

“You can't expect that either. It's unprecedented. It's dangerous because it's unpredictable. ”

The congressman who came down from Seoul to here understood the meaning of the elderly scientist and nodded. A land where more than 2,000 dead monstrous corpses have been absorbed. It contains more uncertainty and danger than land contaminated with radiation. Who can be sure what will happen after planting crops like this on this land?

“What's the deadline, then? ”

In the question of rainfall, the professor shook his head.

“I don't know that either. We need to do constant research and analysis. ”

“You mean indefinitely prohibited. All these vast plains. ”

“That's right.”

The face of the rainstone became stiff. It wasn't usually that serious. The union professor couldn't erase his smile if he realized his thoughts.

“There will be rice turmoil next year. ”

This year's harvest is over, so next year's rice consumption is irrelevant. But next year, I won't be able to build a farm. If we don't farm next year, we won't have enough rice for the next year.

Korea's rice growth rate barely exceeds 80%, and the Honam Plain and Nonsan Plain have become unusable. It was not a shining rest for a year, but it was a situation that I could not guarantee for how long. If this becomes known, there will be a storm on the agricultural market.

No one can predict what effect the crystalline energy absorbed on the earth will have. You can't plant rice on such anxious ground.

“This is bad.”

Mr. and Mrs. Yu explained it to me as well. However, Su Kyung Woong didn't really feel it. We just know that there will be a serious impact on rice supply from next year onwards.

Ordinary people will be devastated, but have little influence on wealthy people like Yusuf. Maybe that's why we're in trouble. 'Even though I heard the thought, I didn't feel like my foot was on fire. It's not his fault this happened.

The government wanted us to catch the Yellow Mob. I wiped it out with sweat. So it wasn't his fault. Janice fulfilled her responsibilities properly.

* * *

Nonsan, it is said that the Honam Plain has become unusable. Yusuf, of course, was also asked to keep a secret. But secrecy won't last long. When spring comes, I want to keep it, but I can't keep it.

“Maybe I should buy some rice. ”

However, just in case, in order to prepare in advance, Yeong-woong bought the dried, lightly sourced rice. He didn't buy a barbershop, he bought supplies for his family and employees for years. And they kept it in an empty warehouse. Based on the total market volume, it was less than an ant's tears, so there was little effect on the market price.

I was worried about Jeong Hyoju.

“What's the big deal if the rice pulsations start next year? Shouldn't we do something? ”

“Why us? It's not our fault. The government will take care of it. ”

“You know, social responsibility. Wouldn't it be great if we stepped up and prepared for something? ”

“Social responsibility……. ”

I couldn't get a hold of him. In fact, he was a little uncomfortable. When it became known that the grain reserve had become unusable since next year, there was chaos, and I knew that there would be food waves from the next year, but I remained still.

However, it was impossible to steal his property. I didn't know what Jeong Hyoju was giving, but I didn't think I could give it away.

In fact, I was dying for thousands of green crystals to fly away, but the situation was too serious to talk about now. You can't just ask a resident for money at a funeral because you have a debt to collect.

“How many blue crystals can I give you? Buy some food with that. You saved a lot for decoration, didn't you? ”

“Should I?”

“Good. It's common to us anyway. I can be colorful. ”

As I was saying, the rainstones came to the mansion.

“I'd like your help. ”

After a brief greeting, he takes it seriously. Su Kyung Ung was also half expected.

“Tell me. I'll listen and think about it. ”

“As you know, grain cultivation is no longer possible on the largest plains of my country. No one knows how many years this is going to last. If the food rate drops fast and the rice rate drops even further, it's a disaster. Otherwise, the United States is in trouble because of the Red Mob in the Great Plains area. ”

“Yes.”

“The president originally considered it a long-term advantage if our country could take advantage of the Korean relationship, even if it suffered some indirect damage. That's why I didn't urgently ask Captain Yeong-woong for American aid. ”

“Well, I didn't want to go to America anyway. ”

Rain stones made a light bitter smile.

“Actually, I thought so, too. The President doesn't know Captain Yeong-woong very well. ”

Su Kyung Woong was silent for a moment. Jeong Hyojoo, sitting next to me, quickly stepped forward and said.

“We also feel a moral imperative that we actually have to deal with this crisis. You're rich.”

“You're wonderful. It's actually not that easy. ”

“Thank God for the blue crystals we collected. I think I can spare 10 of them. ”

Every time I got bored, there were close to 20 Blue Crystals I collected. Half of that is close to 10 trillion won. Although it is a common item for both of them, it is a tremendous luxury to others.

“I'm not looking for financial help. Governments are not so shameless. ”

“Really?"

Yeong-woong became slightly anxious. No, you refuse to take 10 trillion won? How absurd are you trying to make a request?

“The United States has failed to deal with the Red Mob in Great Plains. The area is a nuclear-free zone for the last resort. It's the largest grain cellar in America. ”

“Hey, Senator. No way?"

“If Janis' attackers defeat the beast, you can ask them to use a certain area of the meadow in return. So we can solve the food crisis. ”

“I told you I'm not going to America. He was beheaded by the United States once. ”

“We'll figure it out. I will risk everything in this country and prevent the United States from doing anything unfair to you. If you come up with a solution, will you go to the United States? ”

Rain stones were persuaded with a gentle tone. However, Su Kyung Ung did not answer with his mouth tightened. Eventually, he returned without earning any other income.

After he returned, Su Kyung Woong remained silent for a long time. Jeong Hyojoo waited for him with half his worries. I looked out the window and thought about it. He looked sad and hugged me from behind.

“Twenty blue crystals, maybe 10 trillion? Can't we just collect 20 a year and buy enough rice? ”

“Wouldn't it be possible if the United States were to defend the grain reserve? ”

“What if I can't? ”

“The food market is going to be a mess. ”

“ ……. ”

If so, buying food for money may be meaningless. But blue crystals are closer to strategic supplies. Maybe I can buy it myself with blue crystals?

Although South Korea's food growth rate is at its worst, there are several avenues to cope with the American Red Mob. However, the Yellow Mob's contamination of the plains has left South Korea in an urgent situation.

Rain rocks said they would ask for tillage instead of answering U.S. requests. As global food shortages escalate, it will be an excellent means of survival.

But the problem is, you can't trust the United States. The U.S. 's obsession with security is unimaginable. America, who knows more about the dangers of the Red Mob and the Black Mob, will let the gold in my arms slip away? Rain Stones said they would find a solution, but who can guarantee that it will work in the United States?

“This is a concern. ”

The plains were too contaminated to cut and refuse. Nevertheless, it was dangerous to step on American soil.

It is not his fault that the plains are contaminated, and he has no obligation to do anything about it. But if I close one eye like it's none of my business, there's a little frostbite in the corner of my heart.

“Hyoju, what do you think? ”

“I wish we could help, but I don't want us to be in danger. ”

“Isn't that right? ”

She bypassed saying she didn't want to go to America. That part was the same idea. So I informed the government through Leaving a thought like that.

And it was only a day after the notice.

… so we can have a serious discussion together for a solution. Please feel free to share your time zone.

The president contacted me directly.
