Episode 183 [Isabel (3)]
The White House underground bunker was more useful than I thought.
There was no intrusion from the outside and the entrance was never exposed to the outside world.
Among the group, there were two humans who did not need an entrance.
Of course, there were robots and dogs that needed an entrance, but Eve was modifying the entrance switch so that they could easily move around.
I don’t know what to do.
A large industrial robot. The golem was welding on the emergency exit button.
Isabel and the dog were sitting in the back, watching the robot weld with wonder.
Isabel was much neater than before. Her hair was well-groomed and her dirty body became clean. The clothes had also been changed to neat new clothes and body armor.
[The emergency passage opening switch is being modified to be wireless. This is so that Shane and Bayley can open the door from the outside. Shane can just add it to the existing wireless communication module, and I’m thinking of making a voice communication necklace for Bailey as well.] I would have to make a
highly elastic necklace to prepare for transformation, but I also needed to make a necklace to confirm my location.
[This bunker was blocked from communicating with the outside world, so I used the item.]
Eve’s voice was coming from the golem at work.
She was moving the golem and teaching Isabel various things at the same time.
From how to cook with the food and candles that Kyung-hoon brought in plenty and piled up on one side, to how to use weapons and how to operate a walkie-talkie.
He was telling her every single thing she needed.
[But is it okay? It will be very dangerous. If you don’t want to, you can stay in this hideout and wait until we find a way. We can go to a safer place.]
Isabel shook her head at Eve’s words.
“You said you could become stronger. “Then I will do it.”
Not long ago, Kyung-hoon explained the situation to Isabel and asked her if she wanted to fight the monster.
Isabelle agreed to Kyunghoon’s question without much hesitation.
As Kyung-hoon said, it wasn’t to gain the characteristics needed to go to another world, nor was it because he liked fighting.
The simple fact was that one had to become strong in order to survive. In this world, becoming strong was the most important thing.
It was Isabel who had endured that long just to survive. I had no reason to refuse when he said he would help me become stronger.
The idea of needing to be protected by others had long since disappeared from her mind.
“I am the only one who can run away. “I have to be strong to protect Bailey.”
Isabel said, hugging the puppy tightly.
Even though Bailey had to protect Isabelle now, she wasn’t wrong.
Although Isabel’s decision was helpful to everyone, the group felt sorry for the girl.
[If you think so, I’m glad. Still…]
Woof!
At that time, Bailey, who was licking the back of Isabelle’s hand, lifted her ears.
And Eve also stopped talking.
[A monster is approaching. They appear to be monsters chasing Isabel.]
The drone that had landed on the roof of the White House was transmitting sounds coming from the direction of New York to Eve.
Beep profit.
dark night. The sound of the flute was approaching.
Isabel clenched her fists.
It rattled.
Kyung-hoon came out of the situation room and Shane walked out of the warehouse.
They both heard Eve’s words.
The robot shook off the flour from its hands, and Kyung-hoon wiped his oily hands with a towel.
The White House underground bunker consisted of four situation rooms connected by a hallway. The group was remodeling the situation room into a warehouse, a bedroom, an armory, and a living room, respectively.
“It must be the second pursuer unit, right?”
“That’s pretty fast.”
It has only been two days since the entire pursuer unit was annihilated.
“I think it would be a good idea to organize this before approaching the hideout. “I don’t think we’ll get caught, but there’s no reason to have an enemy over your head.”
Shane nodded to the camera at Kyunghoon’s words. Shane walked straight to the armory situation room where the machine gun was mounted.
Kyunghoon looked at Isabelle.
A pale, stiff face and tightly clenched hands. It seemed impossible to fight now.
“First, rest. “You can come forward after you’ve stabilized.”
‘no. ‘I’m going too!’
She wanted to go along, but contrary to her expectations, no words came out of her mouth.
It seemed like the fear remained greater than I expected.
Plus, delicious food, warm clothes, and a safe bunker. I couldn’t open my mouth because my dog was with me.
bruise!
He licked Bailey’s cheek as if he felt sorry for her.
“Phew.”
Was it because Bailey licked his cheek? I felt a little relaxed.
She shouted at Kyung-hoon as he walked through the warehouse.
“I want to go too! can go!”
Kyunghoon looked back.
Although her face had not yet regained its color, her eyes were shining brightly.
Kyunghoon grinned.
“Okay, get ready. Let’s see your skills.”
Isabel got up from her seat and ran to the armory where Shane had entered. The dog also followed her, wagging its tail.
Kyung-hoon followed behind the girl who was running hard. As expected, fighting suited Gyeonghoon’s personality more than working hard.

Meanwhile, in another world, a serious meeting was underway in the White House situation room regarding the Japanese issue.
The cabinet members all looked at the screen in front of them. Videos of Japan preparing for war continued to pass on the screen.
These were all videos taken by CIA Japanese spies.
“Despite heavy damage to Tokyo and the Mount Fuji area, Japan is not stopping its preparations for war.”
And the CIA director sitting to one side was briefing cabinet members on the situation in Japan.
“Korea has already noticed. “It appears that they are continuing to send warnings to the Japanese government, but the Japanese government is not budging.”
The CIA director paused and looked around the conference room. Unexpectedly, the response was lukewarm.
‘Why?’
But he continued talking.
“If things continue like this, our friendly countries, Korea and Japan, will go to war. “We must stop Japan before it is too late.”
CIA Director Danny Lewis. He was the first awakened man to rise to the level of director, having recently pushed out the previous director.
As long as it was clear that the EV power was in Northeast Asia, he could not stand by and watch Japan invade Korea.
‘EV has to stay for me.’
EV was needed for his value as an awakened person to be maintained among these cabinet members.
Without EV, he, like other awakened people, was nothing more than a simple weapon to fight monsters.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Secretary of State spoke.
“Requests for arbitration continue to come in from the Korean government.”
It was a natural request for the Korean government. However, the Secretary of State’s response was completely different from Director Lewis’s thoughts.
“They keep delaying their response. And they are hinting at the Japanese government that they will just sit back and watch.”
Other attendees nodded at the Secretary of State’s words.
Director Lewis frowned. It was a strange situation.
“Is there an operation going on that I don’t know about?”
The President answered his question.
“That’s right. “There is an operation underway that the director doesn’t know about.”
Lewis stroked his wrist with a serious expression.
“This operation is being carried out without the CIA director… Is there any reason why I shouldn’t know?”
The President looked at him with a curtsy.
“The CIA director is blocking information from me, the president, so it’s a natural action for me.”
“What is that…”
“You hid the fact that the most important base for EVs is likely to be the Korean Peninsula.”
Sweat beaded on the back of Lewis’s neck. But he tilted his head with an expression of not understanding.
“Isn’t the EV hub an island in the Virgin Islands below Cuba? “I made sure to report it.”
EV Island, where awakened people are trained and dispatched, has been thoroughly filmed, including aerial and satellite filming.
“That kind of bravado doesn’t work. And I also know that they are organizing the CIA by forming a private organization with awakened people.”
Lewis clenched his fists under the table. It wasn’t just information blocking. The President knew everything.
“You looked at us too easily. “This is not a place where you can pretend to be a superpower.”
The Secretary of State continued with the President,
“I thought it would be nice to have an awakened person among the cabinet members and it would be good for the unification of the awakened people, but you were too greedy.”
Only then did Director Lewis laugh in vain. It was impossible to hold on any longer.
“How did you know? I thought I had all my mouth shut…”
“Is it possible to have supernatural powers alone? And there are so many people with psychic abilities in the world.”
It seemed like he had no intention of telling anyone. Director Lewis looked around.
Before he knew it, bodyguards had entered the room.
The bodyguards had guns in their hands, and there was also a bodyguard who appeared to be an awakened person. It was impossible to fight.
“Then what happens to me? “It won’t be a firing squad right away, right?”
“The United States is a democratic republic. There is no punishment without trial. You are under a pension until the matter is completed. There is no communication with the outside world here, so please rest here first.”
It was nonsense. How many people in the CIA were summarily executed without trial, so they could say something like that. It was clear that they were saying that in case it was necessary to clean up the CIA. “I really intend to stand by and watch the war between Japan and Korea because of EV.
” Is it true?”
Since Lewis had already been caught, he decided to ask a question.
The President readily answered his question.
“The power of the United States is gradually decreasing. The troops sent have withdrawn, and the fleets are returning. But there is still an awakening that encompasses the world. Now, there is an organization… We can’t just leave an organization like that alone.”
The United States was no longer able to control the world, but it had no intention of letting other powers control it.
“But that doesn’t mean we can fight directly against EV, which even the awakened people in Korea believe in. I would be grateful if Japan would step up.”
It would be even better if EV weakened and could absorb the EV organization in the Americas.
“Is this enough of an explanation? Now, we have to continue talking, so please leave.”
The bodyguards came up behind Director Lewis. Lewis got up from his seat with an expressionless face.
He adjusted the watch on his wrist and followed behind the bodyguards.
Fortunately, the bodyguard did not recognize the watch as an item. The conversation up to just now was about Elkani. No, it was Anne. It must have been relayed to the agent.
Now was the time to lean on her.
***
Beep.
It was a black night. Rat people were passing through the ruins of Washington.
They were much more numerous than before. Several rat men were seen, many times their size.
And the locations of all the Ratmen were being identified by a drone monitoring from above.
One Ratman was passing by an old building. It was an ordinary building in ruins.
But Kyung-hoon and his group were hiding inside.
Kyung-hoon was on Isabelle’s shoulder. “ You
said one-on-one is possible, right? We’ll protect you, so show us your hunting skills.”
Isabelle nodded and placed her hand on the wall of the building.
She disappeared through the wall.
Shane and Kyunghoon listened nervously. If I had to, I was planning on breaking the wall and running away.
Fortunately, the monster’s small scream was heard.
She had attacked the monster from behind through the wall.
-You have good sense.
Eve, who was watching with a drone, whispered softly.
Kyunghoon and Shane left the building.
A girl was standing next to the fallen ratman, holding a bloody spear.
Now it was time for Kyunghoon and Shane to make their move.
Ta-ta-ta-tang.
Shane fired a machine gun into the sky.
Beep profit.
I could hear flutes coming from all directions and felt monsters approaching.
-Do you call this awesome?
Eve whispered what she heard on the Internet.
“That’s right, it’s time to catch the bus.”
Kyung-hoon ran towards the rat men.
