Chapter 2398 – 2398. Eternal Eden
Na Chaeyoung, having finished her work, entered the room. Her expression wasn’t good.
“Dr. Na, what’s wrong? You don’t look well.”
“After hearing you say the variant was strange, I thoroughly dissected it. It was indeed odd. A drug was detected in the variant’s corpse.”
“It’s unlikely the variant caught a cold and took medicine… It’s clear someone intervened. What kind of drug is it?”
“I don’t know. It’s a drug not in the database, so I requested analysis from the NIS. They should have bionics experts in the government. If their bionics skills are good… they’ll let me know tomorrow.”
“No wonder it seemed weaker than other variants. Is it a drug that controls the variants?”
“That’s unlikely. Even bionics experts can’t create such a drug. It’s more plausible that they created a parasite to control the variants.”
“…Is that so?”
Either way, it meant someone was targeting Seongak Elementary School. It wasn’t a pleasant thought.
*Swish.*
Na Chaeyoung began to undress in front of me. She hung her gown on a nearby chair and took off her knit top. The black bra supporting her large, voluptuous breasts looked like it was about to burst.
Since she was always cooped up in the lab, she had a bit of flab around her waist, which was another attractive feature. She then pulled down her skirt and took off her stockings. I quietly swallowed my saliva, looking at her large buttocks covered by black panties.
“……”
Na Chaeyoung, who was lowering her head to take off her stockings, paused. She turned her head towards me and looked at me with narrowed eyes.
“What’s wrong? Do you have something to say?”
“No. It just feels new. Didn’t you used to be shy about undressing in front of me?”
“…When are you talking about? The time to be shy has long passed.”
True, we had been together for over half a year, and we had sex every day except for her period, so it would be strange to be shy now. But it had been a while since I had seen Na Chaeyoung’s body, so I was very turned on.
Na Chaeyoung glanced at my dick and sighed, then finished taking off her underwear. I wasn’t mistaken in feeling the heat from that sigh.
Na Chaeyoung, now naked, was like a bomb. Her H-cup breasts were overwhelming. Her nipples were also large in proportion. The pubic area between her thighs was covered in thick pubic hair. She approached me. I could smell her female scent, which even body lotion couldn’t hide.
She climbed onto the bed and knelt between my legs. She poked the head of my penis with her slender fingertip and brought her face close. Her breath touched my dick.
“One hour. You know?”
“Of course, I know.”
In my memory, it was rare for it to actually end in just one hour. But there was no need to point that out and ruin the mood.
*Kiss.*
Na Chaeyoung’s lips touched the tip of my penis.
The night grew deeper.
It was only after four hours that Na and I fell asleep.

The next day.
We received the drug analysis results from the NIS. Na Chaeyoung said while checking her email.
“To sum it up… it’s an anesthetic.”
“It moved around well for an anesthetic, though?”
“It’s unlikely a variant would be immediately anesthetized by taking an anesthetic. It was probably used to slow down the variants.”
“They slowed down the variants they sent to the enemy? Why?”
“Probably to make it easier for a player or Awakened to control them. It goes without saying, but the attack won’t end with just this one. They also contacted us that the summit will be held normally tomorrow. They’re coming to pick us up with a military helicopter. What are you going to do?”
“About what?”
“If I were the enemy, I’d target Seongak Elementary School when you’re not there.”
“I can’t cancel the plan just because of some punks. I’ll attend the summit. However, the Holy Guard will protect Seongak Elementary School.”
“Okay. I’ll stay at the elementary school too. It’s better for me, the manager, to be there in case something happens.”
“No. We said we’d stick to the plan. You, Choi Hyejin, and Irina are all going to Pyongyang. Especially you, you have to go. If things go well, we might get some technology.”
“It feels a bit uneasy, but… I can’t help it. I’ll follow your lead.”
Na Chaeyoung didn’t seem convinced, but she decided to follow me. Because I was the leader of this group. She would follow my lead unless it was a truly absurd order.
“Wow, I’m going to North Korea.”
Choi Hyejin sat on the desk, giggling.
“I-I’ll do whatever Yujin tells me to.”
Irina, who had been suppressing her presence, didn’t object either.
We prepared for tomorrow, mainly by getting armed.
• • •
The weather on the day of the summit was not bad. The temperature was -2 degrees Celsius, and the sky was clear. Although the ground was covered with white trash.
A military transport helicopter landed on one side of the building’s rooftop. The person who got off the helicopter was Lee Yeonhee, the 4th Deputy Director of the NIS.
Lee Yeonhee, with her black hair reaching down to her thighs, was dressed in a suit. She smiled and said to me.
“It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other in person, Yujin.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while. We’ve been too busy to meet. But I didn’t expect you to move in person.”
“This summit is so important that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the fate of the nation depends on it. And Yujin, you’re currently the most famous and watched hero in South Korea. Other countries are also very interested in you.”
“It must be because of my healing ability. I’ve been using my abilities openly these days.”
“Yes. It’s fortunate that the situation in other countries isn’t normal either.”
The world was a mess.
Even if they had prepared in advance, there was no way to avoid the damage. It was only because the United States was in a better situation that they could pay attention to other countries. What about Korea? Japan? China? They were too busy dealing with the immediate problems.
Japan was in chaos due to the continuous earthquakes, and China had yet to resolve the zombie outbreak. China’s advantage of a large population had become a fatal disadvantage.
South Korea was at odds with North Korea. Depending on the outcome of this summit, there was a 70% chance of the Korean War breaking out.
“Please get in. It won’t take long to get to Pyongyang.”
I checked my equipment one last time and boarded the helicopter. All I had was my cutlass.
Lee Yeonhee also said a few words to the others boarding the helicopter.
“The government is very interested in Na Chaeyoung’s technology. If there’s any technology you need, please let us know. The government is willing to share technology with Na Chaeyoung.”
“…Unless it’s an emergency, we won’t be asking for technology.”
Na Chaeyoung got on and sat next to me. Na Chaeyoung was uncomfortable with Lee Yeonhee. Na Chaeyoung was holding a tablet. The other luggage was loaded onto the helicopter by NIS agents in suits.
“Choi Hyejin, you look healthy. Did you like the sneakers I gave you last time?”
“Of course! They’re limited edition! I’ve hidden them carefully in my room!”
Choi Hyejin liked Lee Yeonhee. It was natural since Lee Yeonhee gave her gifts and favors.
“Irina, you don’t look well. Do you need any motion sickness medicine?”
“Ah, no. I’m fine.”
Irina found it difficult to deal with Lee Yeonhee. Irina, who was extremely introverted, had a hard time dealing with people. She was only comfortable with me. Maybe it was because we had sex often.
Finally, Lee Yeonhee and her subordinates boarded, and the helicopter began to fly.
I looked out the window. Seoul, covered in white snow, looked peaceful on the surface. It was actually peaceful compared to other cities in Korea. South Korea had prioritized restoring Seoul first.
‘It’s natural since nearly ten million people live in Seoul. On the other hand, Jeju Island is left untouched and abandoned.’
I looked down at the ground. Once we were outside the city, it wasn’t hard to see the variants.
A roe deer variant and a wild boar variant were fighting, running through the snowfield. Just outside the city, animal variants were fighting. Now it was becoming more real. The destruction of this world was ongoing.
‘The wild boar won. If it keeps winning battles and preying, that wild boar will eventually become a variant too.’
Outside the city, a new ecosystem was rapidly taking hold.
“Yujin.”
Lee Yeonhee called me. She handed me a stack of documents.
“What’s this?”
“It’s information about the politicians of South and North Korea. There’s sensitive information, so please return it to me here.”
“Is it okay to give this to me?”
Her affiliation was the NIS. Wasn’t this a kind of betrayal? As if she had guessed my thoughts, she was still smiling.
“It’s okay. The subordinates here and the helicopter pilot are all my people.”
“Why are you giving me this information?”
“Because the most important person at this summit isn’t the president or the leader of North Korea, but you, Yujin. At least, that’s what I think.”
“Well, since you’re giving it to me, I’ll take a look.”
I received the documents and read them. It contained not only the relationships between politicians but also their corruption. There was a lot of absurd content. If these documents were leaked, South Korea would be in chaos.
I handed the documents I had read to Na Chaeyoung.
“…Why are you giving it to me?”
“You read it too. I forget this kind of thing quickly.”
“……”
Na Chaeyoung read the documents without a word and immediately frowned. She didn’t hide her displeasure but didn’t put the documents away either.
“Yujin seems to trust Chaeyoung a lot.”
“If I were to pick the most trustworthy person in this world, it would be Dr. Na.”
“……”
Na Chaeyoung’s face turned slightly red. I didn’t say it with that intention, but it seemed like I had scored some points.
“I’m envious. How much can Yujin trust me?”
I looked at Lee Yeonhee, who was sitting across from me. She was smiling as she had when I first saw her. Her smile was not frivolous but pure and wistful. That’s why I couldn’t trust her even more. It was hard to even guess, let alone understand, her true feelings.
“Once.”
“Huh? Once?”
“Yeah. You’ve done things for me so far, so I’ll trust you once. Even if the world turns upside down tomorrow, I’ll trust you once.”
“Hehe. Unconditional trust that only happens once… It’s an unexpected answer, but… I like it.”
It was a slightly different smile than before.

The helicopter safely arrived at the Pyongyang summit venue.
Before going to the waiting area, I was caught by a few reporters and had my picture taken. Seeing the government official glaring at the reporters, the articles would be censored before being published.
Normally, it wouldn’t matter. But with a war about to break out, they were putting a lot of effort into every news item.
From what the reporters were saying, about half of the South Korean politicians had arrived. Of course, the powerful figures, including the president, had not yet arrived.
I went into the assigned waiting room and sat down. There was a bottle of mineral water on the desk, but it looked suspicious, so I didn’t want to drink it.
‘Choi Hyejin, who has a keen sixth sense, has been on guard since we arrived.’
Irina was suppressing her presence so much that I wouldn’t have noticed her if I hadn’t been concentrating. Her ability to use her stealth trait was much better than before.
Na Chaeyoung held up her tablet. She read the words written on the tablet.
(Bugging devices. 5.)
Brain Heaven Style Electromagnetic Waves.
Electromagnetic waves swept the surroundings. She located the bugging devices. She also found three North Korean agents hiding in the next room.
‘Is this a trick from the start? They don’t seem like they’re going to attack right away…’
It was clear that they had business with me. The reason I was here was because I had been invited by Kim Jaeji, the supreme leader of North Korea.
I pondered for a moment and then opened my mouth.
“I want to talk to Kim Jaeji alone. Dr. Na, is there a way?”
Na Chaeyoung blinked her eyes and said.
“…Well, I don’t know much about politics. Why don’t you ask the North Koreans?”
“Me, without any political backing? The South Korean politicians would think it’s strange. They’d think I’m interested in politics. If I act too much here, the South Korean politicians will dislike me. Unless Kim Jaeji directly points me out.”
They must be listening.
Okay, I’m ready. You better call me soon.
About three minutes passed. There was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Lee Yeonhee. Chairman Kim Jaeji wants to have a conversation with Yujin before the summit begins. What would you like to do?”
I opened the door and said.
“That’s what I want.”
