Episode 189 [I brought a weapon. ]
After deciding on a new grade, Kyung-hoon checked his body.
Perhaps thanks to absorbing mana, Kyung-Hoon’s body immediately returned to its original color.
Although the grade did not increase, the characteristics seemed to have been strengthened to some extent.
“Is it possible to get about 30 tons?”
Gyeonghoon looked satisfied as he moved the mana in his body. It had increased several times.
But Eve immediately made him aware of reality.
-The M1 tank weighs 65 tons. It seems difficult to move even one tank at once.
Gyeonghoon thought of the military equipment lined up in the square. It was all very heavy.
Kyunghoon shrugged his shoulders. It was impossible to move everything anyway.
He looked down at the floor. A green stain remained on the iron plate.
“I need information.”
If the same thing that happened in this world happened in the other world, the problem was not about animals turning into monsters.
I needed to know when, where, and how monsters from other worlds would come over.
Various efforts were being made, such as using the power of EVs to strengthen body temperature measurement, but these were not enough.
-There will still be time. We were safe for a few years after the cataclysm.
“That’s strange too. “I think the speed of change is different.”
According to the data we have checked, Kyung-hoon’s world is changing more than twice as fast.
Although Kyung-hoon and EV were able to prevent many of them through their efforts, the reason they still suffered great damage was because of the rapidly changing world.
That’s why I was so worried.
If the monsters’ massive attack began before sufficient preparations were made, it would be impossible to stop it.
“First, I have to restart the work I stopped.”
He headed back to the satellite control center.
Eve started hacking the control center again. There were no more interruptions.
-Internal verification completed. The fortress is safe. It will likely take time to get control of the satellite. You can also visit the underground warehouse.
A warehouse filled with gold bars, artifacts, and weapons.
But Kyung-hoon shook his head.
“Let’s go together after work.”
Kyung-hoon had no intention of leaving Eve alone.
-….All right. I will finish it as quickly as possible.
This time Eve didn’t respond either.
The control center became quiet and a slightly comfortable feeling spread throughout the room.
Time has passed.
-Control has been taken over.
Eve opened her mouth.
-24 reconnaissance satellites in operation. 40 GPS navigation satellites and 12 other satellites are operational. Unfortunately, only a quarter of the satellites that were operational at the time of last operation were communicating.
That was enough.
“First, check the American military base. It would be nice to have some useful equipment left…”
– We will first operate five reconnaissance satellites passing over the United States.
On the large screen with a world map, only five waveforms remain among the numerous waveforms passing through the map.
– Pentagon and White House We will check the most likely places by combining the information confirmed at and information on U.S. military bases in the other world.
-Fort Manperson Base, Joint Base San Antonio, Scott Air Force Base, Norfolk Naval Base…
Satellite photos appear on the screen along with Eve’s words. They passed by one after another.
Battleships buried in the sea on the runway with broken tank craters.
No intact military base was visible anywhere in the photo.
Kyung-hoon frowned. The monsters seemed to have clearly annihilated the American army.
‘The fleet that came to LA City. ‘Did he survive because he was on the sea?’
But that fleet has now sunk off the coast of New York.
‘If I make a mistake, this could be my last time at this base.’
When I saw that poison was used to kill only people, I expected it to happen.
But the only place where poison was used was an underground fortress in the Rocky Mountains under the White House, where other monsters could not attack. As the disappointing
pictures continued to pass by, Kyung-hoon’s disappointment grew more and more. It was time.
The screen that was passing quickly stopped.
Numerous planes were lined up endlessly in a wide field.
-AMARG. This is a decommissioned military aircraft storage area. About 4,000 remain. There are traces of monsters, but the planes seem to be safe. Human base. It wasn’t even a weapon that could be used right away. There was no reason for the monsters to destroy it. It
was just a collection of retired aircraft that could not be put into actual combat right away.
“This is a big deal, right?”
However, it was a completely different story for Kyung-hoon.
-There are more than 200 F-15s, more than 400 F-16s, and a significant number of F-18 Chinook helicopters and C-140 transport planes. The
retired American planes were the latest planes that other countries could not use because they did not have them.
Moreover, there were instances where active-duty military aircraft were sent here because they were pushed out by newer military aircraft. Although
the F-22 was not found, it was clear that this alone would be of great help. -Even if the
F-22 is found anyway, it is difficult to operate it. A
look at the decommissioned military aircraft storage The satellite continued to check other bases.
Most of them were destroyed, but there were some that were still intact.
It was like an armory or munitions factory that was not in use by humans. If we did well, it seemed like we could get more useful weapons.
“Good. First, let’s start with a usable plane .” Let’s move it. Surely the fighter jet won’t exceed 30 tons?”
-If it is not a transport plane, it is lighter than that.
“Then shall we check the underground warehouse?”
It was when Kyung-hoon was about to retrieve his cell phone.
-Could you check for a moment?
Eve stopped Kyung-hoon.
The screen changed again.
The satellite images disappeared and the world map was displayed again.
But this time, it was not a map with only outlines . . It was a map painted in bright colors.
Numerous yellow dots were scattered across the colored map, with pink dots interspersed.
Several places on the map had red dots on them.
Looking at the map, Kyung-hoon tilted his head.
Korea . Some of the dots were blinking in gray.
Seoul, Daegu, Busan, etc. All of them were along the path that Gyeonghoon had taken.
-This is data from a satellite launched just before the base stopped operating. This satellite measures the amount of mana on the ground. It was being measured.
After all, it was the United States. Trying to determine the mana amount from a satellite. It was unthinkable for other countries. – If the mana amount is
high, it is displayed in dark colors, and if it is low, it is displayed in light colors.
Listening to Eve’s words . Kyung-hoon nodded his head indifferently.
It seemed like something great academically, but it didn’t seem to be immediately useful.
Instead, he asked curiously.
“What are those gray dots?”
-It marked the points where the mana amount had drastically decreased over a certain period of time.
Seoul, Daegu, Busan, etc. These were all places where monarch-level monsters had died.
Gyeonghoon narrowed his eyes. He glared at the dots on the screen.
Filling the map. Yellow dots and occasionally pink dots.
“Are they really marking the locations of captain-level and monarch-level monsters?”
-There is no explanation, but it seems very likely.
Gyeong-hoon clicked his tongue when he saw the dots on the map.
Even a half-crazy monarch-level monster was barely able to be caught using fisherman’s tricks.
All of those monsters are those pink dots.
But That wasn’t the only problem.
There were red dots all over the heavens and earth of Mt. Baekdu and the continent.
If pink was a monarch-level monster, there was no guessing what kind of monster this red color could be.
“Is it a mountain beyond the mountain?…”
There is also a red dot in the United States. It was stuck. The red dot was located in Yellowstone, a famous tourist destination.
“But why did we suffer while having a satellite like this? “Wouldn’t it be okay to hit the red dot with a shower of nuclear missiles?”
Kyunghoon said with a serious face.
-The base was destroyed before satellite information could be downloaded. Although the satellite has been in operation for a long time, we are the first to download mana information.
“Am I having bad luck? Or did you deliberately set the time?”
Now that time has passed, it was something unknown.
But the timing was too appropriate to call it luck.
In Kyung-hoon’s mind, a monster that took over the computer and a doppelganger that could turn into a human came to mind.
“It would be better to think that we have at least obtained all of the human information.”
The monsters that destroyed this world were not the stupid aliens from novels and movies.
Kyunghoon stood up with a stern expression.
I pushed the memories of earlier, when I was happy about the abundance of mana, to the back of my head.
It was less strong than expected.
“Let’s move the weapons first.”
There was a lot of work to do, but first we had to make the house safe.
When the time came, he created a silver hole in the floor. It was a space portal leading to Grand Canyon National Park.
These were the spatial coordinates closest to the old fighter jet storage facility in Tucson.
He planned to run straight from the Grand Canyon to Tucson.
The locations of the captain and monarch levels were known to some extent through satellite. It was enough to run and crush other monsters.
Kyung-hoon jumped into the hole and the screen on the wall continued to show a world map alone.
Excited.
The red light on Mt. Baekdu blinked. The red light seemed to become brighter little by little.
***
A few days later,
Eunhye was standing on the dock with her mouth sticking out.
It seemed like the previous terrorist attack had been resolved well.
Fortunately, the stolen gold bars were returned, and she was able to receive a lot of consolation money.
Thanks to this, her family’s life was completely worry-free, but no matter how she looked at it, this was not something she could handle.
“Can you forgive me if I have treated you carelessly in the meantime?”
Gyu-Gyu, who followed as a bodyguard, was saying things like this with a stern expression on his face.
Eunhye sighed inwardly and looked around.
The dock was full of soldiers. Next to her were a line of generals with stars, and an armored vehicle stood to one side.
They say it was because of a previous terrorist attack, but no matter how you look at it, the security was too excessive.
‘What on earth are you bringing?’
I heard that they were bringing weapons that would be helpful to the military, but I had no idea that I would be receiving such expenses.
After a while,
boo!
A huge transport ship came in outside the dock. It was a transport ship escorted by the Coast Guard.
The EV emblem was engraved on the side of the transport ship.
“Hwiik. “When did EV get a ship like that again?”
Gyu-Gyu whistled next to him. It felt like I was asking her, but I just wanted to know about Eunhye.
The ship docked at the dock and the rear unloading ramp opened.
People looked at the open ramp, but instead of a military vehicle, only a person wearing sunglasses walked out.
“Sir…. K!”
Eunhye was about to call out her name but quickly changed her words.
Kyung-hoon, wearing sunglasses, saw her and waved his hand.
Kyung-Hoon walked towards the generals standing next to her.
He said, looking at the Air Force general wearing two stars.
“You are the Air Force Logistics Commander, right? I’m here to tell you about EV. The first batch is five F-15Ds and 200 ALARM missiles.”
An aircraft covered with netting as an unloading ramp was being dragged out by an Indian car.
The generals’ eyes widened. They were doubtful even when they came here.
“So is it true that you can also get a tank?”
“Is it possible to get anti-ship missiles?”
The army and navy generals who had stayed back rushed out.
“Let’s keep the order. The air force takes priority in the second batch. The air force is the most urgent right now.”
The Air Force Logistics Commander waved his hand at them. And he smiled brightly at Kyung-hoon.
“EVs are truly Korea’s great allies.”
Kyunghoon also smiled.
“As long as you pay the price clearly, we will prepare it without a hitch.”
There was a mountain of weapons that had not yet been brought.
He handed over as much as he needed to Korea, and the rest were weapons for him and EV to use.
The weapons were ready and there was enough money. Now land and soldiers were needed.
From the beginning, weapons transactions were not conducted solely in cash.
