Episode 260 [ Mt. Baekdu (3) ]
Missiles hit the peak of Mt. Baekdu, where the flames had not yet disappeared.
Just before arriving on the ground, the symbol engraved on the missile warhead glowed brightly.
An awl-like light protruded from the pattern engraved on the missile warhead.
The moment the light took hold, the missile passed through the flames and collided with the black film.
Kwasik!
The light like an awl was broken and a hole was created in the black film.
The missile warhead was half embedded in the black membrane.
And at the same time, a bomb loaded onto the warhead. A mana bomb made from bat monster guano exploded.
Kwaaaaang!
The explosion poured toward the front of the warhead as previously set.
Unfortunately, the explosion did not break the black membrane, but swept through the inside of the membrane through a hole.
Quaaaang! Kwaaaaang!
EV missiles continued to pound the black curtain.
There were some missiles that exploded without being able to pierce the hole, but many missiles were able to pierce the hole and pour out flames inside the black membrane.
And a missile fired from India hit the black curtain.
Flash!
The world was engulfed in white light.
Although she was wearing goggles, Isabel unconsciously covered her eyes with her hands.
[It’s nuclear!]
With Eve’s shout, a huge red flame soared into the sky.
“In the end, there was a country that shot.”
[Missile path confirmed. [It is a missile launched from India.]
Wearing darkened goggles, Kyung-hoon stared at the ball of red flame rising into the sky.
“Isn’t there anyone with me?”
[Everyone is taking shelter in the tank and building.]
I expected the missile to fall by mistake, but I couldn’t have been reassured that they wouldn’t use a nuclear missile.
At least minimal preparations were made for nuclear missiles.
[A shock wave arrives. Please prepare.]
Isabel bowed at Eve’s words. Then, he moved his mana and unfolded the Cheongeunchu.
It felt like my body and the rooftop of the building had become one.
Quaaaaaaa!
A nuclear storm struck.
Small trees were uprooted, wooden buildings collapsed, armored vehicles were shaken, and tents that could not yet be moved were blown away.
A nuclear storm hit Kyung-hoon and Isabelle as well, but they were not pushed back even one step.
The storm that had spread outside was sucked back in the next moment.
And the flames turned into a mushroom cloud and soared into the sky.
“What about radioactivity?”
Gyeonghoon looked up at the sky.
Although it was bright daylight, the sky was twinkling with small blue fireworks.
Lights spread across the entire sky.
[Currently, the radiation level in Samjiyeon-eup is 0. The radiation level in the surrounding area is also dropping rapidly!]
“Really ! “I think Dahee is the goddess of healing.”
Isabelle looked at the sparkling flames and said,
Papapak.
The flames that filled the sky were the last screams of the radioactivity disappearing due to Dahee’s purification properties.
[If I had known in advance that radioactivity could be purified, I would have been able to make a lot of money, but it would be very disappointing. .]
Thanks to the Mana Stone Generator, all nuclear power plants have now stopped operating.
[Still, there are quite a few power plants that leaked radioactivity due to the government collapse before they were shut down, and there are many countries still suffering from radioactive waste. This will still be of great help. .]
However, Dahee’s current status and popularity were nothing compared to her ability to purify radiation.
Thanks to saving countless lives, she was already famous around the world, especially in the United States, and was called the second coming of an angel and a great goddess in North Korea.
But now, she She was just a scared girl.
After the nuclear blast passed, she came out of the building and pleaded with Bailey, who had turned into a lion. “Now,
you have to fly slowly and slowly. You’re a cute puppy, so you won’t drop me, right?”
She begged Bailey with a tearful face, but Bailey only tilted his head. He
looked cute as a puppy, but the sight of a winged lion tilting his head was just scary.
She glared at the rooftop of the former Communist Party building with a half-crying expression. I forced myself to get on the lion’s back.
Kyaang!
“Kyaa!”
When Dahee got on Bailey’s back, Bailey roared loudly and Dahee was startled and fell on Bailey’s back.
Bailey spread her wings wide and raised her mana.
As the wings flapped, mana spread out in all directions.
Mana moved the air to support the lion’s body, and Bailey flew into the sky.
Dahee fell on Bailey’s back and screamed.
“slowly! careful! crying! Kyung-hoon oppa is too much!”
Unfortunately, Dahee’s voice could not be heard on earth.
Kyung-Hoon nodded as he looked at the winged lion flying high in the sky.
“Bailey still flies well.”
“Bailey is a good girl. “I will get along well with Dahee.”
Kyung-hoon looked a little ambiguous at Isabelle’s words.
“I feel a little sorry for Dahee, but I can’t help it.”
[There is no other way to prevent the radioactive fallout.] Since
the Eurasian Allied Powers were all located around Mt. Baekdu, it was not possible to move the clouds and blow the fallout in different directions like before.
In the end, there was only one way to purify it, and in order to purify the fallout that went up to the sky, Dahee also had to go up to the sky.
There were monarch-level monsters on Mt. Baekdu, but they couldn’t launch helicopters or planes.
In the end, Bailey had no choice but to pick up Dahee and go up to the sky.
[If the nuclear weapon had not exploded, Bailey and Dahee would have been able to participate in the operation right away, but they suffered losses.]
“Well, you will know if it is a loss or a gain.”
After a while, the mushroom cloud disappeared and Baekdu Mountain reappeared.
The once beautiful Baekdu Mountain has lost its appearance.
Missile showers had turned the ground and rocks upside down, and nuclear explosions were burning forests and grasslands.
The area around Cheonji on Mt. Baekdu was even more messy.
The shape of the crater was different from before.
Part of the crater must have been broken, and the water from heaven and earth was gushing out from one side of the crater in the form of a waterfall.
Fortunately, most of the monsters that had settled around the crater and throughout Mt. Baekdu seemed to have died in this attack.
[Russia and the United States are taking pictures of Mt. Baekdu with reconnaissance satellites.]
Eve immediately put the photos taken from the satellite on Kyung-hoon’s goggles.
Numerous monsters were spread out inside the crater.
The tree-shaped monarch put his burning body into the sky and put out the fire, and the other monarchs also had their entire bodies burnt black.
And the monarch that Gyeong-hoon had opened his eyes to was nowhere to be seen.
It seemed to work better than expected.
“Was it impossible to stop the pattern?”
But the pattern still remained.
And the overlord with a black body didn’t look any different from before, perhaps because of his body color.
[Still, one overlord is not visible and has caused damage to other monarchs as well. In addition, most of the regular monsters were wiped out. It’s not a bad achievement.]
Kyung-hoon nodded at Eve’s words. It was as she said. The proper battle hasn’t even started yet.
“good! “Operation begins.”
[I understand.]
Eve delivered Kyung-Hoon’s instructions to the military headquarters and the Awakened command.
Weeeeeeeee!
Sirens rang and executives shouted.
“Move quickly! “Operation begins!”
“Start the tram! They say EMP protection is sufficient. “Anyone who leaves late is a brig!”
“The radiation level is 0! “It doesn’t come out quickly!”
“Self-propelled artillery units re-check whether the prepared shells are extended-range shells and prepare for heat dissipation! “We are first!”
Military executives shouted until their throats hurt, and the soldiers gritted their teeth and ran.
They were on their way to fight monsters that could withstand nuclear explosions, numerous missile bombings, and even nuclear weapons, but the soldiers gathered here were all veterans who had gone through countless battles.
It was the same for the awakened ones.
The awakened people, their faces more determined than ever, took up their weapons and left the building.
We heard from the beginning that it would be a difficult fight, but when we saw the power of nuclear weapons, we all felt it for ourselves.
But there were no awakened people running away.
Not to mention the awakeners of the Eurasian Union, as well as the awakeners of EV and the awakeners of other countries who came to support were well aware of the importance of this battle.
“Each Awoken party must move with a pre-planned mechanized force. Never move forward and use tanks, armored vehicles, and robots as shields.”
“We need to reach the summit at the same time as possible. “Don’t even think about helping the destroyed tank; leave your fallen comrades to the soldiers!”
The awakened people heading to their positions once again heard cold instructions.
However, the awakened people did not say anything to those giving instructions.
The people giving orders were military executives, not members of the Awakened Association.
All low-ranking military executives. They were all tank commanders or drivers.
They each gave their salute to the awakened people running by, and the awakened people shook their hands and bowed their heads.
The omnipresence was completed in an instant.
Grumbling.
As soon as the awakened people got on the chariot, the chariots departed.
Tanks and armored vehicles from all over the world, brought here on trailers by freight trains, began moving toward the summit of Mt. Baekdu.
At the same time, the guns that had completed their deployment began firing.
bang! bang! bang!
More than a hundred self-propelled guns and towed artillery fired shells toward the summit of Baekdu Mountain.
It was an attack that would not have much effect on the remaining monsters, but just blocking their view to prevent them from noticing the approaching attack unit was enough support.
“Don’t stop! There’s plenty of ammo! Cover the crater!”
The officers’ shouts reached the soldiers’ ears through the artillery fire.
The EV special operations team, dressed in matching black military uniforms, was also gathered in one place after completing all preparations.
The best awakened people gathered from all over the world, wearing body armor that Kyung-hoon brought from the New York underground and carrying the best weapons made by Omar.
Kyung-hoon, standing in front of the operation team, looked at each person.
Rosalia and her silver wolf Connie. And Vasily, the shield awakener.
Two team leaders and dozens of team members following them.
Robots Shane and Isabelle wearing helmets. Two executioners.
The best colleagues and team members. And many awakened people and the country were helping him.
There was silence between them for a moment.
-I think you need to say something.
Eve whispered softly into Kyunghoon’s ear.
And Kyung-hoon really only said one word.
“depart! “Let’s go hunt monsters!”
“yes!”
-Master, you won’t be a great orator.
Eve could be heard sighing, but Kyung-hoon and the Awakened people did not feel anything lacking.
They also started running, following the troops and awakened people who left first.
*
Boom! bang! bang!
While artillery shells were hitting the summit of Mt. Baekdu, the mechanized unit and the awakened people were able to get close to the top of Mt. Baekdu in time.
Although the surviving monsters interfered and the tank overturned on the rough road, most of the awakened people and more than half of the tanks and armored vehicles survived.
As the troops approached the summit, the bombardment stopped.
And beyond the crater, a monster appeared.
Thick tree branches fluttered over the crater wall, and a huge butterfly rose into the sky.
And a monkey engulfed in flames also appeared.
Kyung-hoon frowned when he saw the monsters.
All the monsters looked fine.
Some monsters had incredible recovery speeds, and all monarch-level monsters had some self-healing abilities, but there was no case where they all became healthy at once.
Eve, who checked the satellite, told us the reason.
[It seems that the butterfly monarch’s spray is curing the monsters.]
Gyeong-hoon narrowed his eyes and glared at the monsters.
Human feces were being sprayed from the butterfly wings. And when I looked closely, I could see that the monster’s body was still healing after coming in contact with the human waste.
“Is there a healer?”
-The monster to be defeated first has been decided.
I couldn’t back down just because there was a healer. As Eve said, the variables just had to be dealt with first.
Mana was now gathering around the monsters. The enemies were preparing to attack.
Kyunghoon put his hand to his ear.
“Start attack!”
Gyeonghoon’s orders were conveyed to everyone through Eve.
Bang! Bang!
The battle began with tank artillery fire.
