The Origin of Species

(There was a problem with 245. Half the posts were registered. If you're not connected, please read 245 again.

We started in Russia and landed in Gangwon Province via the East Sea. It's been a long time since I smelled it. The situation is complicated, but the hot sun and the smell of the sea give me some time to relax. Lindsey looked at the clouds in the sky and said with a kind face.

“Sir, are you going to Seoul now? ”

“Shouldn't you cover your face first? ”

“Yes. Hehe. I'm really sorry about the shopkeepers, but we have to steal masks and sunglasses quickly! ”

Why is it so cute to say you have to steal? She claps her firm butt and continues to walk the mountain path. Avoiding people is easy because they have a lead. And as soon as night fell, I stole several masks and sunglasses from Gangneung. Of course a baseball cap, and of course Lindsey was the only one who used it. Honestly, if five people covered their faces, they were more likely to catch attention.

There's something else you stole. Tablet for instant internet access.

Unlike the underworld, Earth was able to acquire information in real time. It would be an advantage and a disadvantage to the enemy. Do you still not see how the world works at all?

“Sam, I've never seen anything like this. Wow, the United States and the Middle East are working together. ”

Surin's words are one word from Payne.

“That's it? Israel made peace with Palestine. ”

The sailor continued to look for information on the tablet and said a word.

“But still my country. We haven't been getting along well with North Korea. Well, that sounds complicated. No, does this make any sense? Look, I heard that the United States and Japan support North Korea. China.”

Comments went haywire underneath the article. I thought that I could not understand the sudden changes in attitudes in the United States and Japan, and I also saw hopeful comments that could be unified. Of course, there were comments below that would be united by North Korea.

“What a mess. Panic.”

“Sir, the pig in North Korea is still the same. This could be the end of the war, right? If you look at the attitude changes in other countries, you can guess what's going on. ”

Sudden change in attitude. It was the fact that there might be constructs behind them. Most people took Bonaparte's word for nonsense, but we believed it.

South Korea's political situation and public opinion were also quite complicated. But I'm not interested in that. This was no longer a comfortable country for us. Rather, it will be much more comfortable for the Nonenese Empire to survive. The only thing that matters is that there are families here.

The first thing to do in Korea was to meet the clan members' families. It's just me and Commander Young-chul. Wouldn't your father or Damwon find you first? We moved as soon as it was night. It was quick to Seoul.

“Sam, I don't feel as good as I thought. Ugh, fine dust. ”

“Heh heh. Sis, it's good to see you, though. Can I not go to my family? ”

“Well, I'll have to hear it. Honestly, I don't know what that means. But don't you think we should make sure she's doing okay? ”

“Isn't it near my sister's house? in Hannam-dong.”

“My parents lived separately. Well, it's not a very nice place. Honestly, I wanted to give you a house, but I couldn't afford it. It's a lot of rent for me. ”

Surin unties the rubber band around his head. There were long hair marks, but I brushed them off a few times.

“Hmm, those humans. I don't know how you're doing without me. Are you sure you haven't already been hit by a construct? ”

“Oh, robots. ”

Lindsey seemed to break her lips if she was worried. But my gut tells me. Our families will be fine. In fact, Bonaparte was an unusual case for the public gardens as well. That's probably why he did it. Surin tapped Lindsey on the shoulder.

“Oh, don't worry, I'm just kidding. How do they know about every single one of us? Even if they knew, they wouldn't have used their hands yet. I just believe it. ”

“Aren't you worried? ”

“Well, those human lifelines would be as tough as whale tendons, so they'd be alive for sure. ”

Lindsey laughs awkwardly at her words. Maybe you're not used to calling your family "people." But Surin didn't seem to hate his family that much. If you didn't want to see it in the first place, you wouldn't have wanted to come. And he wouldn't even consider giving you a house on a D.A. 's salary.

But who am I supposed to follow? To be honest, I'm sorry about Surin, but Lindsey's parents came under more pressure than her parents. I thought it was more because she grew up to be really loved and loved.

In the meantime, the leader remains silent. Oh dear! By the looks of it, the sailors are probably feeling the most isolated. She doesn't have a family. Then she said.

“I, my family, am just you. So there's nowhere to go. Anybody want to put anybody to sleep? ”

And then she looks at me. Yeah, I'll take you with me.

Fei was deeply troubled to see us like that. Bonaparte's words will bother him and he will want to make sure that his family is still alive. Especially after hearing Surin's words, it seemed to shake more.

“Fei, check it out then. ”

“But here the United States is · · · · ·. ”

“Swim. Swim. We'll be there soon. ”

“Hiic.”

He expressed an exaggerated admiration, then said with a serious look.

“Then I'll make my move. ”

“Yes, and first you wait in the United States. Gather the sinners as discreetly as possible. You have to lead on that continent. If you see Bonaparte later, I'll send Bonaparte to you. ”

“I understand.”

“Hey, don't look so serious. Awkward.”

“Hehe, is that so? I'll see you guys later. It's been a long time since I've had a proper swim. ”

Fei has left and now I have Surin, Lindsey and Seonbae. Lindsey said it first.

“Teacher, I'll go to my parents first. After the teacher says hello, heh. I think I need to take some medication. Maybe she collapsed in shock. ”

“Let's go together for now. I don't know what's gonna happen. ”

Lindsey's parents may not have been replaced by a human construct, but they could have reported it to the government. The government had already created a department that was largely responsible for missing persons, and was actively encouraging reports of one returning missing persons on the bay.

“Yes, sir. Then come with me to the front of the house. ”

She was wearing a mask, but the tail of her mouth clearly went up. Seoul's streets have not changed since then or now. Complicated world and incredibly busy people. They pour drinks to soothe everyday fatigue.

“Representative Kim, what's really going on here? ”

“Deputy, is war that easy? I still don't believe it. Atlantis. Isn't that a little too much in the 21st century? Aliens are gonna come out of nowhere. ”

“Phew. But there might be a real commandment at this point. That's what international politics is all about. ”

“This surrogate. That's your problem now? A deal like ours is a problem tomorrow. Huhu.”

“Heheh heh. Isn't that right? ”

Definitely a different atmosphere from Russia. My country was quite familiar with the atmosphere of war. There was anxiety everywhere, but there were also a lot of people who were optimistic. It may be due to North Korea's actions so far. Or a general lack of safety in South Korea.

However, the feelings on people's faces were clearly different from before. I feel like I'm trying hard to hide my anxiety. Atlantis and Mouu were much more unknown than North Korea. So, what's Atlanta doing now?

Then I heard the voices of others.

“Tomorrow? Meeting at the U.N.? ”

“Yes. They say it will determine the direction of the human race." ”

“I want us to go first before they go first. I heard that even superpowered people can't avoid missiles. You can't attack if you can't see it. Heh heh. Half of them. ”

“So it's not as dangerous as I thought it would be? Words are superpowers. They're worse than technology. I want the North Koreans to spray anthrax or mass-produce. ”

“Hehe. Yeah. But you have to be careful with noble patients. I don't know where he's hiding. The broadcast said that ranged combat is advantageous for us, but difficult to get close to. ”

“Oh, you bastards. I'm gonna die. Why 'd you get brainwashed and come back here? ”

Their words grip the foreman's fist. False information has already been dug deep into society. Even if the truth is known, it is not easy to change it once it begins to be propagated. I said, holding the foreman's hand.

“Never mind. You know that on the Internet. There are people like that, and there are people who think normal thoughts. Drinking is supposed to make you brag. ”

“Sir, I'm still angry. Brainwashing? That's ridiculous. ”

For the record, the Internet did not kill missing people, but also said that they had to capture them alive and free their brains. They're primarily human rights organizations. And there were a lot of people who were in on it. Neither of us was happy about it anyway.

“Those bastards, they might all become fertilized eggs if they want to. ”

“Sunbae, stay here, as long as there is no threat. This is a country where families live. ”

“Yes, I'm just saying. The situation is frustrating. What do we do now? ”

The answer was fixed anyway. Reclaiming the power I originally had. And making a new connection to humanity on Earth. Then there might be a fight with Atlanta, and there might be a fight with Guia.

In fact, it was essential to see blood in the process.

Especially not humans on Earth.

Civilization clashes with civilization.

In the history of the Earth, one of the two civilizations has vanished or been absorbed. By a stronger civilization.

We used the cab for stolen money. Thanks to her, Lindsey's house was able to arrive quickly.

“Sir, don't worry about me, I'm fine. ”

“I'll be outside for a while. ”

“Heh heh. I only have 10 minutes. Don't stay too long. ”

“Got it.”

I hugged Lindsey tightly and patted her back. Soon she approached the house and rang the doorbell. Then Surin opens his fingernails.

“Phew, what are you so nervous about? ”

“Prosecutor, you have nothing to worry about. Lindsey's parents are very righteous people. ”

“Hey, I'm more worried that you're saying that. ”

“Well, and more for the daughter than that sense of justice. ”

It was then that people who looked like Lindsey's parents ran out of the door. They hugged Lindsey and dragged her into the house.

Boom!

The gate closes quickly.

I listened to their voices. Although not as much as the line, our hearing is also far superior to that of ordinary people.

“Lindsey? Is this Lindsey? ”

Lindsey cried and replied with a trembling voice.

“Ugh, yeah. Mom, it's me."

“Oh, my daughter. Ugh. You've been through a lot, haven't you? I heard you were brainwashed. ”

The voice of a man who comes then.

“Honey, let's go inside. People are going to hear you. ”

“Oh, look at me. My daughter, let's go inside. It's dangerous out there."

You hear the door close, and their conversation continues.

“Oh, thank God. You're alive.”

“Dad. ”

“We just wanted you to be alive, even if you were brainwashed. It's okay. That's all I need to do to stay alive. It's really Lindsey, right? Let's see, my daughter. ”

Then I heard Lindsey's crying voice.

“Dad, stop touching my face. It's Ha Joo-hyuk's daughter. And I wasn't brainwashed. ”

“Really?"

“Honey! Is that important right now? We have to feed the baby first. My daughter, I'll make you something delicious. ”

Their voices were all filled with tears. At the same time, it's an unthinkable pleasure.

Surin said.

“It's warm. I don't think there's anything to worry about here. Sam, I'm going home, too. ”

“Prosecutor Kim, come with me. ”

“No, I'm going alone. I don't want to show you his house. ”

“Hmm."

Surin waves his hands and walks away.

“Don't follow me, I'll take that taxi. Right, Sam? ”

“Prosecutor Kim, got it. Then don't forget my home address that I told you about. ”

“Huh, am I Anga? Don't worry, you're sure you're still at home? ”

“Maybe. I think someone I know left it there. ”

He had already written a will just in case. Damwon also did something similar to me.

The Commander may be fighting over our assets with my relatives right now. Maybe the law has some advantages for relatives.

I watched Surin leave and told the crew.

“It's a front.”

“Yes?”

“I guess you'd better follow me, then, wouldn't you? ”

“Yes. I don't know what it is, but I've been a little anxious. ”

My gut feeling was the same as the lead. I feel very uneasy.
