Episode 56. [My own war (1)]
“I’m not doing it!”
Jin Xiawei’s voice was getting further and further away from the mineral spring.
She was now running away down the mountain.
“Tsk, tsk, she runs away because I force her to exercise too much from the beginning.”
The man who was glancing from afar saw that and clicked his tongue.
Kyunghoon scratched his chin as he watched Jin Xiawei shrinking.
-I completely agree. Master and she are of different levels. Just because the master did it easily, it was unreasonable to let her try it right away.
“But… I need to check later so that other awakened people can learn as well.”
Anyway, Jin Xiawei got scared and ran away, so the boat had already left.
Gyeonghoon and Jin Xiawei came to the Bukhansan mineral spring after a long time for morning exercise.
Unlike before, they came to the bottom of the mountain by car, but Jin Xiawei also seemed very happy until they came up to the mineral spring. However
, when she started training to move mana with Kyung-hoon, her expression changed.
As seen in the video, unlike Kyung-hoon who easily moves and collects mana, she had a very difficult time moving mana.
According to Eve, she Just feeling the mana was a great thing, but moving that mana freely was something else.
Due to the frustration and pain that wracked his entire body, Jin Xia-wei eventually ran away.
When Jin Xia-wei left, only he and a middle-aged man remained in the mineral spring. After the mutant came
out, hiking or hiking became very dangerous. Even the mineral springs that were crowded with people were no longer visited. The middle-aged man who was looking at Gyeong-hoon with amusement
focused on exercising again.
Everyone was in danger. Even so, he seemed to be acting the same as before.
When he took his gaze away, Kyung-hoon looked at his fist.
It didn’t look any different from what he saw with his eyes. It didn’t glow, and his fist didn’t get any bigger.
But his fist had a trace on his body . It contained the mana that was flowing.
So far, he had only used the mana for attributes or flowed it to items with emblems. He
did not know that there were other ways to use it, so that was the limit of what he could use.
However, there were other ways to use it in the video.
How to move mana and gather it in one place to strengthen the body.
He thrust his fist forward.
Boom!
The sound of air bursting echoed through the spring.
“What is it? Did you fire a cannon somewhere?”
The man who was exercising looked around in surprise.
The punch just now wasn’t thrown quickly using his strengthened body. I just struck the air with the mana in my hand.
“Is this what Qigong is like in the martial arts magazine?”
The man didn’t know, but Kyung-hoon could feel the vibrations resonating in the air.
-A novel using fictional energy? Conceptually, it’s not that different. After all, both are just using the power inside the body to increase combat power. “Then later, the sword of the heart.
” I wonder if it could be something like swordsmanship…”
– That’s impossible. That’s just a hypothetical technology.
However, the characteristics of the Manado Awakenings that Kyung-hoon is writing about were fictional skills that had only been seen in novels and movies not long ago.
But Kyung-hoon didn’t talk back. I wanted to train a little more than that.
Kyung-hoon ran into the forest carrying his backpack leaning against the iron bar.
“Oh, that’s not a hiking trail! It’s dangerous to go that way these days!”
A man’s shout was heard from behind, but Kyung-hoon had already disappeared into the forest.
If it was calm, it was peaceful, if it was chaotic, the time passed.
Jin Xia-wei never wanted to do anything similar to training after that day’s training.
“Analysis of that potion .” “There is a lot to do to set up a jewelry bar. If you need anything, give me a call.”
Instead, she was busy looking for a new job.
And one by one, the awakened people who had been hiding began to come out and register as awakened people.
EV did not stop awakened people from registering. Be
careful about countries that threaten human rights, such as electronic anklets. He advised them to do so, but he did not use the same strong tone as before.
“It’s not like EV can control all the awakened people anyway… The board has been set, so everyone has to act on their own.”
-Anyway, we took control of the community and initial distribution network. Big trends can continue to lead.
Kyung-hoon scratched his head at Eve’s words.
It wasn’t made with such deep thought. After hearing about Eve’s abilities and working together to create it, things only got bigger.
“Well, it would be good if things became easier.”
An older gentleman sitting in the seat next to him glanced at Kyung-hoon, who kept talking to himself.
“I’m sorry.”
Kyung-hoon apologized to the gentleman and turned on the TV on the seat in front of him.
Kyung-hoon was on the plane now.
-It may be annoying, but you should visit as many countries as possible. After a while, flying becomes difficult. Before that, you need to create as many dimension door coordinates as possible.
What Eve said just now was one of the reasons for this trip.
There was still time left, but according to the records of the other world, flying monsters would soon appear.
The aviation industry would soon be shut down due to monsters floating high in the sky.
Although he could have announced it to the world in advance through EV, Kyung-hoon did not do that.
Even now, there are many people who doubt EVs.
Some people thought he was a prophet or a regressor, but there were also a lot of people who saw him as a mad scientist or a psychic who caused all of this.
It’s going to happen anyway. There was no reason to be suspicious.
Kyunghoon put his earphones in his ears and focused on the TV screen.
[With the gunfight in Jiri Mountain becoming a mystery, the number of Awakened people joining the Awakened Association is increasing. Companies that were paying attention to the government are also trying to attract awakened people in earnest, and there are companies like Baeksan Group that are offering to support the awakened people association…] Kyung-hoon leaned deeply into his seat while listening to the news
. Because of the attention, I had to fly business class, but I was still satisfied with it.
The plane flew quickly towards Turkey.
***
Three American MRAPs (armored vehicles) were running through the wilderness.
It was quiet inside the car. The soldiers were staring ahead with stern faces.
Captain Douglas, who commanded the unit, did not like the guests sitting in the back seat.
He was from the CIA, but he had a strict expression and was not very talented in speaking.
No, to be honest, I didn’t like this operation.
Go to a rebel area surrounded by government forces and take out one person.
Moreover, the government forces were receiving support from Russia, and the rebels were not connected to the United States.
It was like banging my head against a wall.
“Is support available? Rescue is impossible with this number of people.”
Hearing the lieutenant’s words, the agent opened his mouth,
“Once we find the target, there will be air support. Let me tell you now that the operation has begun. An aircraft carrier is waiting in the Mediterranean. All you have to do is find your target and move to a safe place.”
Everyone in the car looked at the agent.
“Goddamn. An aircraft carrier. What kind of operation is this grand!”
Although they had participated in many operations as Navy SEALs, they had not often participated in operations involving aircraft carriers.
Moreover, it was an operation conducted in such a hurry.
“Why don’t you tell me about the operation in advance? “I thought the superiors were trying to kill us,”
another soldier said with a sigh. The atmosphere became a little lighter.
But the captain’s expression was still hard.
“I understand why they’re going to carry out an operation like this when they’re even mobilizing an aircraft carrier. It’s not possible.”
“It was because of security. It is difficult to protect with normal security.”
Everyone shook their heads at the agent’s words. An American CIA agent was scared of security.
“Are you really in a race with Russia?”
“I don’t know if Russia has joined, but our current opponent is EV. We need to take out the Awakened faster than EV.”
Everyone looked puzzled. It was because I didn’t know that a name that was only famous on the Internet would appear here.
“What kind of awakened person is this… even an aircraft carrier?”
The agent opened his mouth at the captain’s words.
“That awakened person…”
A city began to appear on the distant horizon. In the wilderness in front of it, the government army was building a long front line.
★ ★ ★
At the same time.
Gyeonghun is a high hill. He was looking through a telescope at the city vaguely visible on the horizon.
He arrived in Turkey by plane, drove to the border, and crossed the border at night without the soldiers knowing. Although the border was monitored by a
3-meter barrier and heat-sensitive cameras, Gyeong-hoon It was impossible to stop it.
After that, Gyeonghoon ran through the Syrian wilderness.
Before that, he had faster than human speed and endurance, but now that he has learned how to use mana, he has become even faster.
Looking at the dust blowing behind him, it looks like a motorcycle riding through the wilderness. It seemed like he was running.
After running all night, Gyeonghoon was able to arrive at the hill overlooking Evelyde City, his destination, in the morning.
Looking at the city, Gyeonghoon recalled a post he had seen on the website bulletin board a few days ago.
The beginning was similar to the post posted by Jin Xiawei. .
┗ Anne: We also wish someone could help us. But no one can help us, right?
┗ ┗ The original bulletin board will be covered with complaints.
┗ ┗┗ Anyway, we have to listen. If we can help, we will help.
┗ I’m at XXX. I’m an awakened person. I’m not an adult yet, and I’m posting from my family’s tablet and satellite phone. ┗
┗ Where are you calling from the satellite phone? Antarctica or in the mountains?
┗ Anne: No. It’s in the city. It was damaged by the bombing. We lost and the government forces are surrounding us, so we can’t communicate. We’re barely able to exchange the batteries with food. After the adults finished using the phone, I insisted on using it for a while. ┗┗ Oh, if I’m not lying, I think I roughly know the location
… .
┗┗ No way, XXX. Damn, the filtering is killing me. Anyway, there really is no way to help.
┗┗ What can I do? I’m sorry. This seems difficult, even for EV… I want to help too, but it’s impossible.
┗┗ Damn, it’s war at a time like this. . I’m not crazy.
┗ Anne: Like that blacksmith, I wanted to give something made with my abilities to someone else… but since I am the only awakened person, this trait is useless.
┗ ┗ Oh no way. you. Its characteristics….
*EV. I will continue the conversation with Anne.
┗ Uh, suddenly the manager
┗ …….
Kyung-hoon remembered that incident and smiled bitterly.
“I guess my location was discovered, right?”
-I’m sorry. I was late in blocking.
“Well, it’s my fault for going in and out of places where phone calls aren’t working for no reason.”
The system Eve had prepared in advance blocked it, but it was a little late.
“We ran as fast as we could, but I wonder if anyone else came here besides us.”
-We are gathering as much information as possible. Suspicious circumstances have been detected on the Russian side, but we are not sure. ”
Well, we’ll find out when we get there.”
-Please be careful. This is an area that is currently in the midst of a battle. In my honest opinion, if you had ignored this incident, you would have said,
“Don’t worry. “This is my specialty.”
Kyunghoon started going down the hill.
The race has begun.
