Chapter 222 – Naked Dungeon Life Side Story (30)
“It’s a little different from what I thought, isn’t it?”
Arrived in the Gobi Desert.
A desert that is bigger than the Korean peninsula stretches to the end of the horizon.
However, there was a gap from the desert I had imagined.
Weeds that grow sparsely on dry land.
The sand dunes in my imagination were nowhere to be found.
“It’s still in its infancy.”
“Is it so?”
“Yes. From here, we plan to move by helicopter.”
“It’s a helicopter…”
“The jet is fast, but it’s difficult to get back on board in the middle of the desert, so I decided to use the helicopter out of necessity.”
“That’s it, jump up and get on… Oh, that’s it.”
It’s not just me going, I have luggage.
Besides, if you come up with decent loot, the helicopter will be easier to retrieve.
“Do you want to leave right away?”
“That’s right. Enticing them this way would cause severe civilian damage.”
Three High Awakeners of the guidance station dispatched from China.
There is a pilot to drive the helicopter and five people to help with other chores.
All were Awoken.
“Ah, the belt is fine. It’s easier to escape if you don’t wear it.”
The only female Awakener among the guides approached me from the seat of the helicopter.
It seemed like he was thinking of helping me put on my seatbelt.
I don’t know what the Chinese authorities meant by attaching such a beautiful woman, but I was moved by the fact that she was consistently trying to listen to my help.
Is this also a beauty world?
Even if it’s not, I heard that strange rumors are circulating internationally about me.
Reveal a woman or whatever.
No, is there a man in the world who is not like that?
I’m really dumbfounded.
Anyway, it seems that the Chinese guys used their brains.
Out of the 8 people except me, this woman is the only one.
I don’t know now that her waist is bent in Korea, but later, when she gets hungry, she will be my only option.
When that time comes, that already pretty appearance will attract attention.
It may take days or hours in the middle of the desert, and there will definitely come a time when you want to make it dirty.
If possible, I would like to go back to Korea as soon as possible, holding back for this time, but I don’t know people’s business.
Tata Tata.
Two huge helicopters that are as big as the military aircraft I first rode a month ago cross the Gobi Desert.
It’s dirty and noisy because it’s made in China.
All the way through this boring noise, I had to listen to the guide’s explanation of the seriousness of the situation.
“So many? Did they all come out of the same gate?”
“We’re not sure how far. But considering their strength, we think the probability that they’re all from the same gate is high. There’s no way that several such powerful gates flowed in reverse at the same time.”
“What about the Chinese transcendentalists?”
“…Everyone is in a situation where they can’t make time for their missions.”
“Not even one person? Even if we presented only 1/10th of the amount we proposed, there would have been many transcendentalists who would immediately move.”
“The authorities’ transcendents are never driven by money!”
“Oh, this, I must have misunderstood. Sorry, sorry.”
Even though I put an apple on it, I didn’t let my guard down at all.
There must be an obvious ulterior motive behind them calling me here.
It’s definitely not just to fend off monsters.
I quietly closed my eyes and thought.
The materials Hong Eun-young handed over before boarding the plane to China.
Among them, there was one passage that caught my attention in particular.
There was a proviso that it was not 100% reliable because it was claimed by a Taiwanese professor who was a self-proclaimed Chinese expert, but it was convincing enough.
He was convinced that there was a powerful transcendental figure unknown to the outside world in China.
Here’s why.
In the present era, an unprecedented incident called the gate is engulfing the whole world.
Nonetheless, China still maintains a one-party dictatorship.
Even more powerful than in the past, they are controlling the people, and the prison-like system is working more perfectly.
Not to mention the media, internet barriers are getting higher day by day.
Then, of course, there must have been an outburst of dissatisfaction from within.
No matter how much brainwashing you do from a young age, you will have a problem at least once.
In particular, those who possess superior power will long for freedom, and it is likely that a revolutionary force with power was naturally born.
But now China is quiet as if nothing happened.
Too much of that too.
It is likely that there will be enough transcendentalists who have at least a few exiles abroad.
In addition to this, detailed additional explanations were written over several pages, but I was convinced by the professor’s argument only with this content.
No, it definitely will.
Inside China, there is definitely someone who is in perfect command of countless awakened people and transcendental people.
And this is my opinion, not the professor’s argument, but it is highly likely that someone possesses special abilities like Chihiro, rather than simple military force.
Because I can never guarantee that there is no longer a being with a special skill like mind control that the former president had.
If not, maybe there are people like me.
Oh, that’s really bad.
Thinking that a guy like me is hiding in Japan and even China makes my eyes go dark.
Maybe it’s because I’ve already killed one, but my thoughts often flow in that direction.
Please, I sincerely pray that it is not the only one.
“Transcendental Master! We have arrived!”
I slowly opened my closed eyes and looked out the window.
Sheer cliffs visible in the distance.
Sand dunes stretching in all directions.
Among them, there are countless pits that have been hollowed out as if a meteorite had fallen.
Most of the area around the pit was dirty with charred sand and soot.
It was a sight as if a bomb had been fired, but my guess is probably right.
I heard that the Chinese side is mobilizing fighters to lure monsters across the desert toward the Chinese border in a different direction.
This is probably a sign of it.
“Can’t you see the monster?”
“I’m looking for it now. I’ll find it soon.”
The pilot communicated with someone from time to time.
Then, suddenly, a loud beep-beep-beep noise filled the inside of the helicopter.
“I found it!”
Apparently, a radar similar to the one used in Korea is installed inside the helicopter.
After finding the signal, a large army of monsters gathered through the window caught my eye within minutes.
“How would you like to do it? Do you want to get some distance and then move to the ground? Or…”
“What’s bothering you so much? I have to go right away.”
“Then what shall we… Do? Will you be enough alone?”
“Look around here.”
I yawned and turned on the stretcher.
Then he jumped through the open helicopter door and into the middle of the desert.
“One minute is enough.”
* * *
Come to think of it, the Chinese seemed to have already figured out my strength.
A request for dispatch to such a place.
It also means that I was sufficiently aware of my powerlessness to name me rather than other transcendentalists.
Usually, it’s normal to aim for the magical power amplification of other awakened people through me.
Just like the Okinawa Awakening Bureau did.
But they don’t show any signs of that at all.
Far from lined up with people who want to increase their mana through me, the guys who followed me as guides acted as if they had no idea that I had such an ability.
So it’s more suspicious
Burn 2 trillion to use me only for combat purposes?
Considering the scale of China’s economy, you might say that it’s not that big of money, but it’s not an amount that would be easily given as pocket money to someone who transcends the country next door.
There must be a purpose…
Gurgling.
“What. Are these guys weak?”
Monsters groaning grotesquely and spilling their burdens.
Vomiting appears in the grodesque appearance.
From the size of a human to the size of a house.
It was a type of monsters I had never seen before, with skin that melted and flowed around a rocky body.
There are so many of them that they want to be in the thousands.
Pajik Pajijik!
The brain sword cried.
In an instant, hundreds of surrounding monsters were charred to death.
“Am I strong or are you weak?”
I ran across the sand like a dance, and each time an electric current flowed in all directions.
The monsters just turned into corpses one by one without doing anything.
There was no need or reason to use any other ability.
I don’t have to play around with people watching me.
Only tens of seconds.
Thousands of monsters seen around were swept away.
No crisis dared to show itself.
With the sword slung over my shoulder, I turned my head toward the helicopter floating in the distance.
It meant to stop watching and come down here.
“Did you say there were dozens of monsters like this? But, is it really impossible to solve without me?”
While I was complaining, two helicopters landed softly, creating huge winds of sand.
It took a long time to find a safe landing spot.
“Thank you for your hard work! Transcendental Master!”
“You were really… A wonderful person.”
“Didn’t everyone really die? In such a short time… I can’t believe it…”
As they get off the helicopter, they spit out their impressions as if they were squeezed.
“Transcendentalist? Where… Are you uncomfortable?”
But all the while, my expression was rotting.
A female Awakener who could not see this spoke up.
My first words in front of them were:
“Kaak Tuk! Fucking helicopter!”
Eyes, nose, ears, mouth.
There was no place where the sand did not go into the hole called the hole.
