The Returner

The Republic of Korea's response to the gate incident was not as swift. No matter what happened, the Republic of Korea administration, famous for responding to wolves, took the first step at the expense of supernatural movements.

By quickly declaring the commandments and uniting the order system with the president, we are ready to fight monsters at any time. The troops opened up the old magazine and finished repairing the vehicles, finishing the setup to allow the combat troops to deploy quickly in any situation.

The evacuation of civilians also created a complete manual to minimize sacrifices.

The results of Song Jung-soo's insomnia were even better than I imagined.

But there was one problem.

“This is no kind of old compassion.... ”

Song Jong-soo kicks his tongue at the bureaucrats lying on the sofa.

But I couldn't swear at them.

They give up their comfortable homes because they don't know when or what will happen, and they all spend the night here.

However, if nothing happened until the third day, people would become droopy.

“Why is there no movement? ”

The United States, China and Germany were struggling. Conventional weapons have made enormous sacrifices against almost pointless monsters and are deployed with abilities and armies.

Nevertheless, Korea, next to the nearest spot, was now very peaceful.

“… what about Pyongyang? ”

“No movement. ”

“Well……. ”

Song Jung-soo looked at the monitor with a slightly confused eye.

In other spots around the world, monsters are pouring out of pooled faucets, and the only ones in Pyongyang are very still.

I don't know if Lee Hyuk did it once or for some other reason.

Yoon Young-min clears her throat and said.

“I think I have too much time. ”

“I'm sorry about Jaecerung. ”

It was like a bombing on the finance side. With all three axes leading the global economy down, the stock price was plummeting like Niagara Falls and even trade goods were stopped.

Thanks to this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Finance were not satisfied with food supply in case of an incident.

“You were a battlefield. ”

Just now, after visiting the relevant department and asking questions, Song Jung-soo, who was expelled, sighed when he heard the deputy secretary tell him to come back later because he was going to die.

“Why aren't the monsters coming out? ”

The Secretary of Defense replied with a pudgy face.

“If you ask me... I'm no Gate Specialist... ”

“Hnng.”

What made them even more perplexed was the fact that the portal was no longer open as the dimensional door opened.

We should be able to turn the reserved troops back into action, even if the gate is open. Since the gate is not even open, KSF and the Army are still only playing meaningless nonchallenging remarks.

“Do you have any requests for assistance? ”

“… Yes, nothing. ”

In the case of Germany or the United States, the surrounding country is currently busy SOS playing. When Germany collapsed, European nations were beating all the free reinforcements created by the gate to Germany, while allies from Canada and South America were also supporting the entire force.

However, none of the countries in South Korea sought support.

‘Cause we're the closest thing to a spot. ’

In common sense, the first country to be swept away was Korea. Therefore, no one is requesting troops from Korea.

“… What should we do? ”

“I see.”

“Hmm.”

Ironically, South Korea has been having the most peaceful days since Black Monday.

“Oh, shit! ”

Lee Hyuk shouted as the character died.

Choi Jung-hoon muttered helplessly as he watched the scene.

“Who plays the game in this situation, or the company that spins the game server in this situation.... ”

Of course, no matter what happens in the world, the company that maintains the server is not wrong. He's the one who did something wrong...

‘I'm not sure I blame you. ’

Not only Lee Hyuk, but everyone else was staring at the monitor dazed.

“I don't have anything to do. ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu shrugged.

“You know, when I had to go every day, I was so dirty I couldn't eat it, but I didn't go for a few days. I can't eat this because it's hard. ”

“Right?"

“Aren't you going to be unemployed? ”

Choi Jung-hoon, who heard the conversation, turned his head and looked at the top. Seo Ah-young, who had put the mirror away, had been cremated and then erased and repeated.

“… what are you doing? ”

Seo Ah-young looked at Choi Jung-hoon and replied casually.

“I'm looking at which makeup works best. I couldn't do it because I was busy, and I wanted to do it all. ”

“Oh, yes. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled awkwardly and walked out with a cigarette.

"I can't get used to it. I'm going crazy. ’

I understand only when the crew is playing. Honestly, since they had been brutally beaten, I thought I would have to rest this much to survive the big fight that was coming.

What Choi Jung-hoon couldn't really adapt to was that he had nothing to work with.

You haven't had a single day of work in 10 years. I don't know what to do with my work.

If he were an ordinary worker, he would be able to learn how to spend his time after work, but he was not an ordinary worker, and there was nothing on his computer other than for work.

The same goes for cell phones.

Should I get some sleep? ’

This sleeping room was built for this occasion, but since it was a habitual place to sleep like a corpse due to extreme fatigue, I couldn't sleep because I was going into sanity.

“Hnng.”

While Jung-hoon was thinking about what to do, the door opened wide, and Lee Hyuk frowned arrogantly and asked for a cigarette.

“Oh, damn it. Why are you playing games like this, you lunatics? ”

‘You're the crazy one. ’

Choi Jung-hoon, who knew that truth is sometimes buried for peace, did not want to break the peace he had come for a long time by saying it out of his mouth.

“Are you not well? ”

“The server was left with nothing but total lungs, so the difficulty went up. Humans who have nothing to do. ”

"You're one of those people who doesn't do his job. ’

It was Lee Hyuk who was lying on his back and spitting in a row.

“Why is there no movement on the Pyongyang side? ”

“Why are you asking me that? ”

“You're the best man on the planet right now. ”

“... This is a whimsical professionalism. ”

Lee Hyuk opened his mouth to see if Choi Jung-hoon was right.

“I don't know why exactly. You get hit and run, and you're scared and you might not come this way, or that spot won't be accessible. ”

“Accessibility?”

“If you have to go to another neighborhood with one gate next to the Han River and one at the top of Everest, which way would you go? ”

“Huh?"

I hadn't thought about that part.

“No, it's the same thing with cartoons. ”

“The cartoonist has never been to the market. ”

“... Wow, look at the persuasion. ”

It was Jung-hoon Choi who realized the importance of covering the scene.

Is this the part where you have to go to the market to draw a cartoon?

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Yes.”

“How long will this peace last? ”

“… I heard other countries are pooping blood right now, but does the word 'peace' come out of their mouths? ”

Lee Hyuk's gaze was strangely contemptuous, and Choi Jung-hoon raised his hand.

“No! Peace in my country! My country!”

“What is this in the age of globalization? ”

“Are you going to keep driving like that? ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled. In fact, the situation in other countries was not as serious as I thought.

Unlike the prediction that everything would be swept away if monsters appeared, monsters and Demon Kings were not as active as they thought.

“Well, as I said before, the creatures of the Mahjong system have a notion of time that is nothing compared to humans…. From your perspective, the invasion hasn't even been an hour since it started. ”

“The concept of time is relatively long. ”

“Yes, well……. If we slow them down over there, things might happen that won't move forward a bit until we're old enough to die. ”

Choi Jung-hoon's face became a little serious.

Should I tell them to stop attacking? ’

If what Lee Hyuk is saying is true, the current response that provokes them by attacking them may be leading to humanity's downfall.

“As long as it's just the horses. ”

“Yes?”

“You know what, Alpha? ”

The face of Jung-hoon Choi who heard the word Alpha was distorted.

“I don't think we should let him finish this aesthetically because of what he did. ”

“… of course. ”

The alpha Choi Jung-hoon saw was the most appropriate word for an egotistic psycho. Normally, those with moderate photopathy tend to move more impulsively than reason, but Alpha was a completely insane and completely calculating species.

It is the most difficult type to deal with.

I could not have imagined that the Alpha, who had devised a plan to drive Lee Ji-hyuk of the world to his death, had not made a plan since the opening of the gates with the Magic System.

“But what happened to him that made him such a person? ”

“You should ask Christopher, not me. It sounds roughly like someone who was recruited to do a capability experiment in the United States. ”

“Human experiments? ”

“… maybe. ”

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue.

“But they do everything behind their backs, pretending to be clean. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled. He was more of a narcissist than an anti-American, but he could not deny Lee Hyuk's words. Because it was true.

“Anyway, for now, we need to deal with the Alpha first. ”

“I'd do that if I could, but isn't he the one who's never been found? Do you think that's possible in this chaos? ”

Lee Hyuk's words made sense.

However, Choi Jung-hoon's opinion was different.

“The reason the Alpha has been hidden so far is because its existence is not widely known. America certainly wanted to deal with alphas, but it didn't want them to be known to other countries. because alphas are like their cheeks. ”

“... This is what I look like. ”

“That's right.”

When you hide a bad corner, things end up blowing up big. Unfortunately, this was a case in which the United States had a legitimate accident while hiding the existence of Alpha.

“… well, the United States will take care of it. ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders and walked back into the building.

Choi Jung-hoon glanced at Lee Hyuk and sighed deeply.
