Episode 135 [ Cataclysm (1) ]
The cataclysm had begun, but the world was not yet feeling it properly.
Only a few awakened people and government leaders who had been warned by EV realized it.
People who were not yet aware of the crisis showed interest in the mysterious phenomenon that followed the two-day street fighting in Pyongyang.
Articles and commentary poured out, and neighboring countries watched North Korea with heightened attention.
A few days later, the announcement everyone wanted began.
An important statement began to be announced on Chosun Central Broadcasting.
First, an announcer came out and announced the leader’s death in a mournful tone.
Then, a captain with four stars came out and gave a detailed presentation.
He was Chief Lee Seong-hyeok of the Awakened Guard, who had been a lieutenant general not long ago.
[…Comrade the great leader was enshrined in the Kumsusan Memorial Palace.
The monster that attacked the leader’s comrades and destroyed Pyongyang was able to be annihilated through the combined efforts of Joseon’s awakened people and the soldiers of the People’s Army.] It seemed that everything that
happened that day was decided to be the work of a mutant monster.
Captain Lee Seong-hyuk continued speaking.
It was a message for everyone to focus on their jobs with peace of mind and to carry on the legacy of the deceased leader.
There was no special story. It seemed like all the important stories were over.
People who watched the announcement were greatly shocked by the sudden accident.
But that wasn’t the end of the announcement.
The general raised his voice again.
[Today, the People’s Army soldiers and awakened people decided to wipe out the mutant monster that killed their leader comrade. All People’s Army units decided to head north, where the monsters were concentrated.]
People watching the announcement were confused. It was a very difficult story to accept.
However, the presentation ended with Jang talking about the list of committee members.
[A funeral committee will be formed with 212 people, including Commander Ri Seong-hyuk of the Guards Command, and a funeral ceremony will be held in Pyongyang.] After hearing the
funeral committee list, everyone looked intently at the screen.
The first person on Chang’s committee list always became the leader of the next regime.
It was now clear that North Korea’s new leader would be the middle-aged man on the screen.

While the presentation was going on, Dahee was surrounded by older men in the lobby of the broadcasting station.
“I would like you to stay. “It is everyone’s wish.”
The old man pleaded with her as a representative. A star was twinkling on his shoulder.
These were all people who knew of Dahee’s miracle. They could not forget the feelings of that day.
To them, Dahee was a fairy and an angel given by God.
“Hey…”
Dahee just rolled her eyes with a red face.
Although she overcame the trauma and showed signs of miracles, she was still a young girl. I couldn’t get used to this situation.
She looked for a way to escape. But I couldn’t see such a path anywhere.
There was no one in sight to help.
People who didn’t know her recognized the men’s positions and hurriedly left the place.
Anyone who recognized her bowed their head sincerely and walked away.
Her face gradually became more tearful.
It was then.
“You were here.”
Kyung-hoon’s voice came from the hallway on the other side. He was wearing sunglasses as always.
Next to him, Captain Lee Seong-hyuk, who had finished his presentation, was walking along.
People who saw the two people lowered their heads in disbelief.
Everyone knew who would lead this country from now on.
However, the people who surrounded Dahee quickly fled in fear.
They knew Kyung-hoon just like they knew Da-hee.
On that day, the leaders at the President’s Palace saw Kyung-Hoon drop combat helicopters, ignore bullets, and knock down the awakened people with fallen leaves.
After that, high-ranking party officials stopped treating Kyung-hoon as a human being, in the opposite sense of Da-hee.
Within the party, just as Dahee was called an angel, an apostle of God, Gyeonghoon was called by names such as the devil, the god of destruction.
“I have to go now.”
“Yes!”
Dahee happily answered Kyung-hoon’s words. It was nice to be recognized by people, but she wanted to go home even more.
“It’s a shame.”
“He is a child with a family.”
Captain Lee Seong-hyeok was also very disappointed. If it weren’t for his position, he might have clung to her like other soldiers. Of
course, it was because of Da-hee that he regained his strength.
After seeing Da-hee’s light that day, he regained his strength again.
He decided to protect the people and this land that Dahee saved. Seeing
the sad expressions on the people’s faces, Dahee quickly answered,
“I like it here too! I’ll come often!”
“Oh oh!”
Everyone looked touched by her words. It was like a gathering of believers.
“Can I come too?”
“If you want to come, come. Who can stop you?”
Kyung-hoon briefly joked, but the captain did not take it as a joke.
-The probability of breaking through the current North Korean army and entering Pyongyang is more than 70%. And if you use space movement, it is 100% possible.
Eve whispered in Kyung-hoon’s ear. Kyung-hoon said, I shook my head.
“Then I will take Dahee back for a moment.”
“But I’m worried. China won’t sit still.”
After General Lee Seong-hyuk took power, all awakened people in North Korea registered on the EV website.
And General and Gyeong-hoon each signed an alliance as representatives of North Korea and EV. Of course, this alliance was an alliance that was not announced to anyone.
The alliance The first step was to move most of the troops on the ceasefire line to the northern border. It
was a decision made by General Lee Seong-hyeok based on EV’s explanation and advice of the cataclysm. It
was a natural move for him, but it was very difficult for China, which was acting as North Korea’s protector. It was absurd.
“It’s okay. EV will solve that, not me.”
Captain Lee Seong-hyeok nodded at Gyeong-hoon’s affirmative answer.
In any case, the only thing North Korea could trust right now was EV. Moreover, the words of the man from EV were trustworthy.
*
That day, Gyeong-hoon and Da-hee returned to Korea through Russia and left the area around the cease-fire line. North Korean troops began marching toward the North.
Governments around the world, which had been in a state of complacency at the time of the announcement, were shocked by the North Korean military’s movements. The
South Korean and U.S. governments were puzzled by the unexpected situation, and the Chinese government was extremely angry.
[We committed this coup] [The government cannot be recognized. Stop the military immediately and return to your original position!]
The Chinese government issued strong warnings to the new North Korean government every day.
However, North Korea did not stop its military despite China’s warnings.
The North Korean military continued to attack one after another . Arrived at the northern border.
In the end, the Chinese government decided to show its skills instead of warning.
“Move the entire northern theater!” In case of emergency, border entry is also permitted!”
After the Chinese president’s order was issued, a 170,000-strong army began moving toward the North Korean border.
War clouds began to swirl between China and North Korea.
***
Unexpectedly, the Chinese military moved quickly.
The lead group arrived at the North Korean border in less than a week.
Among them, the first to arrive was the 5th Armored Brigade, the pride of the 80th Army Group.
The Type 99 Tank Battalion, which arrived at the banks of the Duman River, turned its port towards North Korea and entered a state of alert.
The Li Shiqian Company, deployed to the far north, was also on guard.
Four tanks headed toward North Korean territory.
Although it looked very brutal on the outside, there was a lot of chatter going on inside.
-I don’t know what they’re going to do with those old-fashioned weapons.
-Isn’t that crazy? How dare you point your gun at China?
-This time it won’t just end with a military demonstration, right?
-I guess not? It looks like there’s a lot of fire coming from above. It seems like they are at least planning to change the regime.
-South Koreans and Americans shouldn’t start a fight for no reason.
-What are you going to do if someone starts an argument? The economy was bad, so it was time to light a firework.
Company Commander Li Shiqian clicked his tongue at the story coming through the communication.
Even in his opinion, the North Korean army across the Duman River was decades behind.
1 2nd generation tanks and old armored vehicles. Short soldiers wearing tattered clothes.
No matter how you look at it, it didn’t look like they were going to lose.
But now the subordinates were too careless.
Even with a weapon like that, the latest tank could be broken if it was continuously beaten.
It’s time to pay attention.
“Chatting is prohibited through important communications. “Everyone, come to your senses.”
-All right.
-yes!
“..”
As soon as he said that, the communication went silent.
Normally, the company commander would just let things go, but in times like this, everyone knew that it would be better to listen.
But there was a subordinate who still wouldn’t stop talking.
-It seems strange.
The company commander frowned at the unexpected remark.
“What do you mean!”
Even though the question was mixed with shouting, the subordinate continued talking.
-A tank unit is approaching from the north.
It was ridiculous. His company was the northernmost unit.
Moreover, this area was not even Chinese territory.
But he was able to confirm it too.
Kugugugugugung.
Hundreds of tanks were coming down south, dragging dust with them.
Clearly, the land on which that tank was running was Russian territory.
-It’s the Russian army!
The surprised voice of a subordinate was heard through the communication.
-It’s true. Are they also trying to threaten North Korea?
-Aren’t you trying to intervene and play a part?
A leisurely conversation continued among his subordinates, but he could not think with them.
The Russian military formation was not facing towards North Korea.
-shit! All gun barrels are pointing towards us!
-The formation is unfolding. It’s an attack formation!
Urgent communications continued to come in. The signalman on the tank the company commander was riding was also frantically trying to contact the brigade headquarters.
I’m sorry.
Fortunately, the Russian tanks stopped right before the border.
But their gun barrels continued to point towards China.
Just like the Chinese military did to North Korea. The Russian military also began threatening China in the same way.
-What the hell is going on?
The voice of a company member heard on the communication line was Company Commander Li Shiqian’s thoughts.
*
At that moment, the Russian president’s interview was beginning in the Kremlin.
He now seemed more like a mature politician than a businessman.
However, this was not a position for a politician.
He began his presentation without any introduction.
“Russia fully supports the new North Korean government in its decision to stop the mutant monsters.”
Reporters watching the announcement frantically tapped their keyboards as the president spoke strongly from the start.
“The Russian Army has moved its eastern military district south to the border between North Korea and China in response to the North Korean army’s movements, and the Air Force and Navy are also on standby.”
However, after hearing the words that followed, the reporters had no choice but to stop typing and look blankly at the president.
This wasn’t even a problem about the war between North Korea and China. A confrontation between Russia and China. It was a sound that could not have been heard, even if it was a joke.
“The Russian military will also keep pace with the North Korean military. Any country that interferes with North Korea’s operations is considered to be attacking Russia. “I will fight back with all my might.”
All the reporters’ hopes for something disappeared at the president’s last words.
The president was sincere. Here he showed everyone that he was the ruler of the world’s second largest military power.
***
The world watched the three countries with bewildered eyes, and the Chinese government protested to the Russian government with a slapped expression.
However, the Russian government ignored the Chinese government’s protests.
The confrontation between the three countries that began like that did not last long.
-Come back right away! Monsters are attacking the city! Return to full force!
The party’s instructions were given to the entire northern region that had gathered at the border with North Korea.
Finally, numerous mutant monsters awakened by the mana explosion began to move.
The true cataclysm began now.
