Chapter 1887 – 1887. Eternal Eden
It’s not well known to the general public, but the reason why Korea can’t properly manage its internal affairs is 70% due to its neighboring countries.
North Korea, Japan, and China.
North Korea goes without saying. It’s a hostile nation that everyone knows about. South Korea hasn’t signed a peace treaty with North Korea. It’s just an armistice. A temporary halt to the war. North Korea is constantly eyeing South Korea.
Japan. Even if they pretend to smile and extend a hand, they’re the kind of people who might stab you in the back at any moment. Isn’t it their special trait to strike first without a declaration of war? To avoid being caught off guard, they had to be constantly watched.
China. It’s better than the other two, at least. Thanks to its absurdly large population and the massive population density of its major cities, the D virus had a devastating effect. Even though the D virus was predicted, they couldn’t stop it.
Seoul, with its high population density, wasn’t in a position to talk, but it was nothing compared to China. Moreover, China had a large number of Awakened and Players due to its large population. Thanks to the D virus, they were struggling to control them. The power of the chairman, the ruler of China, was wavering.
‘It’s times like these that we need to be careful. It’s common to deflect internal troubles to the outside.’
Lee Yeon-hee moved by helicopter. In this era, helicopters were the most convenient. There were hardly any evolved birds, and even if they attracted the aggro of zombies on the ground, zombies couldn’t do anything to a helicopter in the sky. Most mutants also couldn’t do anything to a flying helicopter.
Lee Yeon-hee received a report from an agent in the helicopter. The spy’s abilities, movements, appearance, and so on.
‘Invisibility ability. The purpose is to observe Korea’s movements and return. How funny. Using an ability perfect for assassination just to gather information? In this era?’
It was an assassin.
An assassin sent to kill high-ranking officials, including the President of Korea. Perhaps Lee Yeon-hee was also on that assassination list.
But he was caught by an NIS agent. It was a world overflowing with Awakened. It was only natural to expect that there would be someone who had awakened the ability of invisibility. Even if the body becomes transparent, it doesn’t actually disappear, so it can be caught with a thermal imaging camera. In fact, this spy was caught because of that. He didn’t know that thermal imaging cameras were installed all along the border.
The helicopter soon arrived in the mountains. It was a secret base of the NIS. Several agents came out to greet Lee Yeon-hee. Lee Yeon-hee gave a slight smile and nodded, then walked neither too fast nor too slow. There was a sense of dignity in her as she walked, wearing a black suit and holding her back straight.
Lee Yeon-hee met the Awakened spy who was forcibly sitting on a chair. The spy, who hadn’t been harmed yet, glared at Lee Yeon-hee with fierce eyes.
“NIS Deputy Director Lee Yeon-hee…!”
“It seems you know me. Well, it would be stranger if you didn’t. I’ve caught and killed at least 100 spies from your side.”
“It was a mistake for you to show yourself! I will avenge my comrades here. Blame your complacency!”
The spy opened his mouth. Click. His tongue flipped over, and a small firing port was created. A small needle coated with poison was fired from the port, aiming for Lee Yeon-hee. But the needle stopped abruptly in mid-air and fell weakly to the floor.
“An Awakened?!”
“There’s a saying in Korea. Water knows the answer.”
Suddenly, water appeared in the air. The water didn’t fall straight to the floor but flowed towards the spy’s head. The water piled up, covering the spy’s head.
Lee Yeon-hee quietly watched the scene. Water torture was not new to her. She knew well the limits of human endurance.
‘That surprise attack was a Technologist’s technology. I knew there was a Technologist in North Korea, but… I didn’t expect them to start human modification so soon.’
If Bionics could evolve the body, Technologists could modify the body to create cyborgs. Each had its own advantages and disadvantages. From a national perspective, Technologists were better. It was difficult to completely control the direction of evolution.
‘All of North Korea’s resources are probably focused on that Technologist. It would be better to eliminate them before they become too dangerous… but it’s not easy.’
Lee Yeon-hee tortured the spy for over 10 hours, extracting information.
The spy’s target was not the President but high-ranking officials in the Ministry of National Defense. The goal was to shake the military. If successful, North Korea would have invaded South Korea soon. Because North Korea’s situation was that bad right now.
After extracting everything she needed and killing the spy, Lee Yeon-hee came outside. She was about to get some sleep when two agents rushed towards her urgently. Another incident had occurred. Lee Yeon-hee was about to frown without realizing it, but she managed her expression.
‘I should smile since it looks good.’
She greeted the agents with a slight smile. It was important to gain people’s favor wherever she went. The NIS was no different, and just by smiling at the agents, she could leave a good impression.
“Take it easy. Was it necessary to run like this when you could have just sent a message?”
“We did send a message, but there was no reply…!”
“Ah. I was a bit out of it after finishing the interrogation. What’s the matter?”
“An earthquake has occurred in the Kanto region of Japan! It’s a major earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5!”
“Hmm. That’s unfortunate. We need to rescue the Koreans in Japan… but that’s not our job.”
She barely managed to suppress the cheer that was about to burst out. Japan’s misfortune was her happiness. She hadn’t forgotten the Japanese colonial era. The fall of the Korean Empire was also due to Japan and the pro-Japanese traitors.
“China has secretly requested cooperation from our government! It seems that the Awakened and Players are not being managed!”
“That’s not for me to decide, but South Korea doesn’t have the resources right now. We’re already struggling just to keep North Korea in check.”
China was known as the world’s factory, but in this situation, running a factory? How? The whole world was in chaos, and logistics were almost impossible. Especially the sea was worse. Marine life was not immune to the D virus.
“There are signs that the US is trying to approach S!”
Lee Yeon-hee’s face slightly hardened.
S.
Sung Yu-jin.
In Lee Yeon-hee’s opinion, she was the strongest Awakened in South Korea. The US, which understood the importance of Awakened better than anyone, wouldn’t just sit still.
Of course, she had been monitoring Sung Yu-jin from a distance in preparation for this situation. She had no way to recruit Sung Yu-jin, nor was she confident that she could succeed, so she had just been watching.
“Is it a CIA agent?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. Weren’t the CIA agents in Korea supposed to have been eliminated during the zombie outbreak?”
“It seems the intelligence agency didn’t completely grasp the CIA’s information.”
“Who is that agent?”
“David Kim.”
The agent spoke with a more serious tone than ever. David Kim was a person of interest among the CIA agents. There were more than 10 Awakened in Korea who had been recruited by David Kim. Among them was an Awakened with a potential of 4 stars.
David Kim was also a priority target for elimination, but it wasn’t easy. It was difficult to even locate David Kim’s whereabouts.
The reason why the agents had such serious faces was probably because of David Kim. They had experienced a lot of trouble because of David Kim several times.
“We need to snipe S while monitoring her.”
“Otherwise, we need to contact S first and recruit her. I heard the President is also keeping an eye on S. If we push a little…”
Unlike them, who were in a hurry, she was relaxed. From the moment she heard the name David Kim, she thought it was a good thing. What she needed more than anything right now was information about Sung Yu-jin, and this incident would allow her to observe Sung Yu-jin’s reaction.
“No. There’s no need for that. Stick to my orders. Just watch from a distance. S is different from other Awakened.”
“There are rumors that David Kim is an Awakened! And a powerful one.”
“It’s okay. I’ll take responsibility if things go wrong. Have I ever failed when I gave an order?”
“No. You haven’t. Yes. We will follow your orders.”
“For such urgent news, there’s nothing we need to do right away. I’m going to eat ramen… would you like to join me?”
The agents looked at Lee Yeon-hee with surprised eyes.
“Deputy Director, you eat ramen too?”
“Is that not the image I give off?”
“Yes. We thought you only ate fancy food…”
“I used to when I was younger. But now I eat ramen often. Korean ramen is the best instant ramen in the world.”
“Well, I wouldn’t go that far…”

I was meeting Choi Hye-jin again today. Choi Hye-jin, who was restrained in a corner of the lab, was no different from a beast.
‘She’s trying to bite me as soon as she sees me. Has the zombification progressed?’
It didn’t matter. I went inside the cage, grabbed Choi Hye-jin’s head, and used my ability. My stamina was draining away. The fact that it didn’t drain away all at once was the effect of practice. The more my stamina drained and I became fatigued, the more Choi Hye-jin recovered.
When Choi Hye-jin had recovered to some extent, I let go. There were conditions for healing others. I had to be in contact with the person I was healing. If I broke contact, the healing would naturally stop.
“……”
Choi Hye-jin, with a gag in her mouth, looked at me, lay down on the floor, and spread her legs, revealing her vagina. It was a posture of submission.
‘Even if I forcibly heal her, her memories don’t disappear.’
Even if I completely healed her, she would still remember what had happened.
“Good job… um?”
Because she had spread her legs wide, her vagina was exposed, and I could see inside. It was a clean, pink vagina that made me want to bury my face in it and suck it right away. But it was slightly different from the shape I knew.
“This bitch, she broke her hymen again while masturbating.”
I clicked my tongue.
This bitch broke her hymen almost every day. Even if I ordered her not to break her hymen, it was useless. A beast is a beast for a reason. It does whatever it wants, so it’s a beast. When she gets horny, she breaks her hymen while masturbating.
‘Should I cut off her hands? That’s a bit boring.’
I squatted down on the floor and reached out to Choi Hye-jin’s vagina.
