Episode 179 [ Went on the road (2) ]
When communication was lost, Shane tried to leave right away. But Kyung-hoon and Eve stopped Shane.
It couldn’t go on like this. Shane’s body, which was full of water, had to be repaired.
Kyung-hoon brought Shane to the Jamsil hideout. And Eve also stayed in Jamsil. It was for Shane’s repairs.
Three hours later, Kyunghoon returned to the United States alone.
Bailey ran around Kyunghoon, but Shane was nowhere to be seen.
“It will take time to fix it. “Since we don’t have time, we’ll go together.”
Kyung-hoon spoke kindly, but Bailey didn’t respond and just climbed onto her cushion and closed her eyes.
It didn’t seem like it would be easy to become friends.
*
A wilderness where bushes roll around and monsters roam around looking for food.
The Navajo Autonomous Country, which was created to protect (confine) the Navajo Indians, was then and still is a very desolate place.
Buuuuung.
The jeep was speeding through the wilderness. A car with humans in it for the first time in a long time. It was the car Kyung-hoon and Bailey were in.
A wild dog that was picking through the bushes raised its head.
Sniff. Sniff.
It smelled. A sweet scent I haven’t felt in a long time.
It was food. The wild dog’s molars began to grow long and its fur sprouted.
The monster started running towards the car.
At that moment,
boom!
The monster’s head exploded and its molars flew into the sky.
bang!
Almost at the same time, a gunshot was heard from the car. It was a very small gunshot.
bang! bang!
The gunshots continued several more times.
Other wild dog monsters running towards the car were thrown to the ground. The heads of all the fallen monsters were smashed.
Crash.
Kyung-hoon put down the sniper rifle on the seat next to him and got back behind the wheel.
“It attracts more attention than I expected…”
When Shane drove the car, it didn’t attract this much attention. As expected, there was something about people that attracted the attention of monsters.
Kyunghoon looked back and said.
“Are you sure you are telling us where there are no monsters?”
…bruise.
It was a lame answer. Kyunghoon sighed.
It wasn’t easy to become friends.
Still, it was clear that he understood what was being said to some extent. At least there weren’t many monsters along the way.
The road became increasingly difficult. The road had long since been damaged, and rocks and faults were beginning to block the road.
It was when Kyung-hoon was driving the car, clicking his tongue.
The puppy suddenly got up from his seat.
bruise! bruise! bruise!
Bailey looked ahead and barked urgently.
Huge mana was blooming from the front.
A lot of dust rose from the front of the car.
Chrrrrrrrr.
And a loud rattle was heard in the dust.
Sigh!
Kyung-hoon suddenly stopped the car. Because it was downhill, it was not easy to stop the car.
Chrrrrrr.
The sound of the bells became louder and the dust settled little by little.
When the dust settled, a huge coiled snake appeared there.
It was a huge snake that looked to be 100 meters long. When the snake waved its tail, the sound of a bell was heard again.
“Is it a rattlesnake this time?”
A snake’s head rose from the center of the coil. The snake monster opened its mouth.
Pop. Pop.
Liquid dripped from my molars.
And the ground where the liquid fell sizzled and melted. It was poison.
bruise!
The dog jumped out of the car.
Crumbling.
Bailey pulled out his wings and puffed up his body.
Kyunghoon looked around.
“Are you an outsider?”
Rocks were cleverly stacked next to the car. It looked like a group of naturally created rocks, but it seemed to be blocked and impossible to escape.
The back road was uphill. It didn’t seem easy to step down.
No matter how you look at it, this road was a kind of ant hell created by that monster.
Crumble.
Now Bailey has completely transformed into the form of a winged lion.
The lion growled at the snake, and the huge snake was not able to attack easily because the enemy suddenly appeared.
It seemed like a monster battle was about to break out.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time.”
Kyung-hoon waved his hand at the transformed Bailey and took out the Samjeongsword lying on the passenger seat.
Because I didn’t have Eve, I couldn’t use my special moves carelessly.
However, the lack of a single shot did not reduce the abilities of an S-class awakened person.
Kyung-Hoon raised his mana.
thud.
I couldn’t hear anything, but I felt like I heard something.
The snake monster’s eyes turned sideways as it looked at the winged lion.
Bailey couldn’t move either.
Gyeonghoon’s mana took over the area.
Pot!
Kyung-hoon launched himself towards the monster snake’s head.
The monster snake also saw Kyung-hoon approaching. But I couldn’t avoid it or attack it.
The monster snake screamed inwardly.
I came up to the ground because it smelled delicious, and what kind of lightning was this?
Kyung-hoon’s image was filled with the enlarged snake eyes.
Suddenly.
A huge snake head soared into the sky.
Fuaaaaaa!
Blood spurted from the cut neck.
Cooung.
The upright neck collapsed.
It was just one sum. The monster that was commanding this area collapsed in an instant.
Gyeong-Hoon stood over the monster and wiped the blood off his sword. He calmed down his surging murderous spirit.
Only then was Bailey able to move his body.
“I made such a mistake. “It was poisonous.”
Kyunghoon frowned as he looked at the bulletproof vest. Smoke was rising from his chest.
Kyung-hoon had a displeased expression on his face, but Bailey wasn’t looking at him like that.
whine.
Bailey, who had already returned to being a puppy, was in the car with his head buried in the cushion.
“Why is he like this?”
Kyung-hoon returned to the car after extracting the mana stone from the monster’s body and tilted his head when he saw the puppy.
The car started again.
After that, the monster attacked occasionally, but the car never stopped.
Because Bailey gave directions well.
Fortunately, after that, Bailey seemed to listen to Kyung-hoon well.
Kyung-hoon was satisfied because it seemed like they had become close friends.
***
Outside New York City.
Crackle crackle.
The fireplace in the living room of an abandoned luxury home was burning again for the first time in a long time.
Thanks to the porous walls, the bonfire lit in the fireplace was not very warm.
But the girl was satisfied with this much.
It wasn’t easy to start a fire once you left the city. It was clear that the monsters would catch their eye.
There were some special characteristics and experiences I had in avoiding, but most of those experiences were within the city.
Although it was a city full of monsters, the city was a familiar place for her to play hide and seek.
Tomorrow, I would be leaving the city I had been living in.
My worries burned like a bonfire.
“I can do it. you can do it.”
She chanted the spell again.
A boiling sound could be heard from the bowl hanging over the bonfire.
The soup seemed to be ready. She took out the meal with an iron skewer.
It was a soup with barely a few pieces of meat visible. But she started eating the soup with a satisfied face.
I was worried because there wasn’t enough meat, but I was able to catch a few rats while moving.
Most of the blood was drained and put into bags, and some were used as food.
The meal ended quickly. She looked at the empty bowl with a disappointed face.
As always, the soup was lacking. But she was able to quickly shake off her regret.
If you developed an appetite for no reason, you could turn into a monster like adults.
Adults who couldn’t stand hunger ate monster meat and became monsters themselves.
Even if she died of hunger, she didn’t want to be like that.
The sun was setting.
Beep!
And a sound similar to that of a flute was heard from afar.
Beep!
This time it came from a bit closer.
They were trackers.
The girl turned on the fire in the fireplace with a gloomy expression. The lights went out.
I was amazed to see those monsters running around and catching other animals and monsters.
But this time she was the target.
She squatted down in the corner of the darkening living room.
The girl took out a cloak from her bag and covered herself. It was an item that hid human scent.
It was monster leather, so it had a lot of odor, but it was still warmer than nothing.
We turned off the lights and hid the human scent, so monsters wouldn’t find us at night.
As soon as I finished preparing, I started thinking more.
She muttered with a gloomy face.
“Should I just hide?”
If you hide in a deep cave, monsters won’t be able to find you.
There were monsters following her. Bailey might be in danger if he took the monsters with him.
The girl shook her head. I knew it was dangerous, but I couldn’t hide.
“I want to see Bailey.”
The girl buried her face in her cloak.
The sun set and the girl fell asleep.
Beep!
The sound of a flute continued to be heard over dark New York City.
***
By the time we entered Columbia, Shane’s repairs were finished.
Kyung-hoon parked his car at the entrance to the Rocky Mountains and moved to a hideout in Jamsil.
Bailey followed Kyung-hoon’s order to wait.
The puppy stayed in the car until Kyunghoon and Shane returned.
Ugh.
A silver hole was created next to the car, and Shane and Kyung-hoon escaped from the hole.
Shane was clean again.
[There are not many parts left. Please be careful.]
Eve grumbled, but Shane didn’t seem to listen.
“Bailey!”
As Shane walked to the car, he called out to the dog and
wow! bruise! bruise!
The puppy lunged at Shane.
Woof woof woof!
Bailey clung to Shane and licked the robot’s body.
The camera got soaked with dog spit.
[No, I drained the water, but this time is it dog saliva?]
Eve grumbled again, but Shane tilted his head as he examined the dog.
“Is this guy a little strange?”
Kyung-hoon approached and answered his words.
“is it so? I heard it was okay. We became very close while we were alone. “Now Bailey listens to me, too.”
Kyunghoon looked at Bailey and grinned.
“right?”
Grrrr.
When Kyung-hoon laughed, the dog trembled.
Bailey put her head down on Shane’s chest and started whimpering.
“You seem scared?”
A surprised Shane petted the dog.
[It’s true that you’re scared. What on earth were you doing while you two were together? Did you really beat the dog for not listening?]
“Me? “Bailey?”
Kyunghoon looked at the puppy with an absurd expression.
After a little commotion, the group set off again.
The car crossed the Rocky Mountains and continued east through Colorado.
Meanwhile, Gyeong-Hoon traveled to Manchuria through dimensional travel and eventually succeeded in creating a defense line to protect Korea.
Although there were many hardships, the group was eventually able to stand in front of the old sign.
[50km to Washington DC]
We finally arrived at the capital of the United States on the eastern side of the continent.
*
The girl looked at the white building with a tired face.
She had barely arrived here.
Outside New York was more difficult and dangerous than she thought. We only crossed two cities.
She was much thinner than when she left New York. He had bloody bandages on his arms and his clothes were old and tattered.
But she didn’t give up. Even if she collapsed on the street, she had no intention of stopping.
Beep profit.
A small sound of a flute could be heard from afar.
She looked back for a moment and then walked away again.
The white building, formerly called the White House, saw her off alone.
