Chapter 294 – 294. Cheongpyeong 1
Logistics center.
A place where there is no one anymore.
I thought there would be guys targeting what’s in the warehouse, but there’s no news yet.
Have you already taken it? It could be so.
A place we don’t know. They may have already taken what was hidden in such a place. Because I’m not guarding here 24 hours a day.
Then I have to do what I think.
I went to the freezer and opened the warehouse door.
Even though it is cold winter, the cold coming from inside is much harsher.
I put on the winter clothes in front of the door and entered the warehouse.
I skipped quite a bit, but I still have plenty of MREs.
How… How long do you have? You wouldn’t even think about doing an inventory survey, would you?
I opened the storage and started putting the MRE boxes in.
A box containing 12 MREs. Put those boxes one by one.
The box is not large, so it takes up quite a bit of storage.
I think there were almost a few hundred boxes… There is still a lot in the warehouse.
When I roughly calculated what was piled up, there were 700 boxes in storage.
There are 12 in one box, so this alone is over 8,000.
Oh my god. When you think about it this way, it’s amazing.
8,000. Even if 20 people eat three meals a day, it can last for a month and a half, right? Ugh.
So I filled the storage and went out.
Coming out from a cryogenic freezer makes me feel warm even though it’s winter.
But this… Even if I move it to storage, how many times do I have to go back and forth? I’m going to turn away. This will probably be impossible until teleportation occurs.
Moreover, the problem is that there is no place to store it over there.
I’ll have to ask you to find out. There must be a refrigerated warehouse in that neighborhood too.
Then close the warehouse and try detecting again.
Quiet neighborhood. Are you really not coming?
I can’t just casually ask anyone to watch over this place… I guess I’ll have no choice but to use the old-fashioned method.
I cut a little piece of tape and stuck it on one corner of the door.
And I made it a little smaller and thinner than that and attached another one at the top, so it wouldn’t be visible.
This will work. Then you won’t have to worry about this for a while…
Soaring up into the sky like that.
I put on my sleeping bag and high bar, put on my transparent clothes, and started flying towards the training center.
Nothing special happened in the meantime, right? What could possibly be happening?
Last time I left here, I used a lot of area skill nullification in case I was tracked or something, so no one will know the location of the training center.
If a problem arises, it may be observed while moving, or encountered while searching for something in the local area… To that extent?
No. Well, there are many possibilities if you find a way. Still… They are not what they used to be, so nothing will happen.
Fly quickly through the sky and head to the training center.
What did they name themselves? I hope it’s not something weird.
Who was it before?
When naming the fence, one of the class leaders just mentioned something like ‘hometown’, right?
I hope there are no people like that here.
If you’ve decided on something like that… I will turn it over.
I flew reasonably close to the ground just in case there were people on the way… As expected, there are no people.
There aren’t many places for people to live anyway… It’s obvious.
As we arrived near the training center, we finally caught sight of him.
And it looks quite different since the last time I came.
The garden, which was decorated quite nicely with trees and grass, has been completely dug up.
And before we knew it, the soccer field had become a barn. It wasn’t built properly, and it seems like it’s temporary…
Anyway, almost no trace of the soccer field remains.
And I don’t know where it came from, but there are a lot of agricultural machines standing in the parking lot.
Under… I guess these people are planning to start farming in earnest.
What I couldn’t do properly when I was at the logistics center, I guess I’m trying to do it here.
The scale is quite large, isn’t it?
But how are the boundaries set here? Is it possible?
Since I didn’t know anything about that, I approached anyone who could detect me.
Dive from the air to the ground. And it suddenly stops just a span from the ground.
Flight allows movement that ignores gravity and inertia, so there is no burden in doing this.
It’s a scam. It’s a scam. How is this possible?
“Oh! Are you here!?”
Yikes. After all, it is the future. The future is particularly happy to see me.
Since you’ve already seen me, you can’t avoid me… Ehh…
I’m the only child at the distribution center who hasn’t made up his mind about what to do yet. It just happened to happen.
“What are you doing? It’s cold too.”
“Ah. I’m going to Seunggyu oppa.”
“Really? That’s good. Let’s go together. Where are you?”
“We caught a cow… And are building a cow barn in a hurry.”
“Cow? Catch the cow?”
“Yes. I heard that I went to get plastic and found a cow.”
“Oh. That’s amazing, isn’t it?”
“Plus, we have two calves!”
“Where have you been living like that in this cold season? It must have been difficult to make a living.”
“That’s right. But the cow is a little different from the cows we know. It’s skinny.”
“I guess that’s right. There’s a big difference between what people raised with good fodder and feed and what survived in the wild. But why are you going there?”
“Ah… I thought the cow was getting too excited, so I decided to knock it out…”
“Well, there is no method as sure as yours.”
“That’s right. It doesn’t cause any harm, and you can easily stun it.”
“Is there a soccer field over there if it’s cattle shed? When I saw it from the sky, it looked like cattle shed.”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s there. Because of the smell of feces, we built it as far away as possible.”
“Well thought out.”
If I had been a little closer to Mi-rae, I would have just picked her up and flown away, but we are not close enough to touch her yet, so we can’t.
Well, since I’ve been charmed so much, I think he’ll probably ask me to do that if I tell him, but… It’s not bad to talk while walking like this.
Now that I think about it, I think this is the first time I’ve talked this much since I first brought him in.
It’s true that I’ve been ignoring it for a while.
“Do you like moving here?”
“Yes! Really! Really! It’s no joke! I absolutely love it! The rooms are nice and each has its own bathroom! I can’t have any more wishes!”
A future I particularly like. Well, personal space is important to a young lady.
“What about the other kids? Seungju and Junghyun?”
“Well, they can take care of themselves.”
“Why is the reaction so dull?”
“Yes? Why?”
“No… I came with you, right? I thought the three of you would be specially close.”
“I guess… That’s right. They feel like brothers and sisters, right? But now, all the people in Cheongpyeong are family. They’re all grown up, too.”
“Really? I thought they liked you or were seeing you as the opposite sex.”
“Eh? Ugh. That’s ridiculous. Well, I might have thought that way when I was younger, but not now. They have someone else they like.”
“Huh. Really? I’m curious about that too. Other people’s love stories are always interesting.”
“Hmm…”
Then Mirae leans closer to me and lowers her voice.
“Oppa. You tend to have a loud mouth, right?”
“Uh… No? If I fall into the water, my mouth will be watery.”
“Then that won’t work.”
“I’m just kidding. Tell me.”
Mirae looks around and quietly opens her mouth, as if telling the most important secret in the world.
“Seungju… Likes Hyunjeong.”
“Hyunjeong? Jinyoung’s younger brother?”
“Ugh. Speak softly.”
“Uh, sorry.”
“And Joonghyeon hasn’t shown it yet… But I think Jiyeon likes her older sister.”
“Delay… Um.”
It’s interesting, but… This is getting a little complicated, isn’t it?
I haven’t even heard the girls’ point of view anyway… Hyunjeong is free right now anyway, so there is no problem.
But Jiyeon… Hmm… Uh… Really?
“Anyway, this is something only I know, so please keep it a secret. No one else will notice.”
“Yeah. I don’t come here often anyway.”
“That’s true. But why don’t you come often? Please come more often.”
Mirae’s face looks slightly red as she says that.
Since I was going against the cold wind, it wouldn’t be surprising if it was because of the wind… Probably not because of that.
Hmm. So, in the end, the future is full of no obstacles.
But Joonghyun is so shocking. What a delay. The age difference between you two must be quite a bit, right? Five years old? Six years old?
But what does it matter? Because there is a difference between me and Minhee to that extent.
“Ah, but. Did you say this place was Cheongpyeong earlier?”
“Yes. Ah. I guess you don’t know that yet. My brother said he asked me to choose a name when I went last time.”
“I did say that.”
“That’s why the name was decided. Cheongpyeong, Hoban, and Park Bing competed, and in the end, Cheongpyeong won.”
“Cheongpyeong and Lakeside? Lakeside also means well.”
“But. It’s the same name as the apartment.”
“That’s right.”
“So Cheongpyeong won. Anyway, the name here is Cheongpyeong, and next to it is Cheongpyeong Lake. It seems like we are the only ones in Cheongpyeong.”
“Well, it’s nice that it’s simple.”
“That’s right. Ah. There’s Seung-gyu oppa over there. Seung-gyu oppa!”
Seung-gyu is in the midst of building a barn. And Jinyoung and Minjun.
“Has Mirae come? Quickly, knock that cow unconscious. Quickly. Seongcheol is here too.”
“Yes. Are you busy?”
“That’s right. Because there’s so much to do.”
“Brother came!?”
“Are you here?”
Jinyoung and Minjun also greeted me happily, and Mirae knocked out the mother cow in the meantime.
When the mother cow falls, the two calves next to her cling close to her and begin to cry softly.
“You said you picked up a cow?”
“Don’t even talk about it. I caught it with excitement when I found it… But later, I found out that even if I searched a little, there were tons of cows.”
“Is that much? How do the cows survive this winter?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, it’s a considerable number. But I guess they caught them too quickly. I should have built a barn and caught them.”
“Anyway, if you use growth on those calves, you might be called here, right?”
“That’s true. And what I’m already doing is to raise some dairy cows.”
“Wow. You’re so serious.”
“If you come to such a great place, you should dream big. Sheep also run around here.”
“Absolutely… I’m glad I came.”
“That’s right. It’s all thanks to you. Jinyoung! Pull it there!”
“Yes!”
Seung-gyu is skillfully building a barn while talking to me.
Okay. These people seem to like living in peace like this instead of fighting or killing.
You won’t have blood on your hands… That’s what I do. There is no need for everyone to become a murder weapon.
It’s best to live in peace with just enough strength to protect yourself.
“Can’t you see Donghyun?”
“He went to get materials.”
“Ah. Flight?”
“That’s right. It’s a long way to drive across the river from here.”
“Okay… By the way, when does it end?”
“Why?”
“I thought we could talk.”
“Hmm. Then, shall we take a break? Guys, let’s take a break. Anyway, if we just block the front here, it will be temporarily complete.”
“Hyung. Then we’ll finish it. You two can talk.”
Jinyoung spoke and Seunggyu thought for a moment and then answered.
“Do you want to do that? Then, let me ask you a favor. You have to tie that cow up well. You can’t make it wake up and struggle for no reason. And when you’re done, be sure to give it fodder.”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
Seunggyu looks at Jinyoung with pride. Then he looked at me and said.
“Okay, then what are you going to talk about?”
