Chapter 614 – 614. The Real Ark 2
Cheongpyeong.
Happy people living a peaceful life.
Of course, they also have complaints. But maybe that sounds extravagant.
Even if you look at the entire world today, wouldn’t this kind of life put you in the top 1%?
After confirming Seung-gyu’s location, he appeared right in front of him.
They were having a great time with Yoo-jeong’s sister-in-law and Hayul, and they are surprised when I appear.
“Seongcheol! How long has it been!”
“Mr. Seongcheol!”
“Wow! Jelly man!”
Yikes. As expected, what I remember is the jelly.
I opened the storage, found some jelly, and gave it to Hayul. A brighter expression.
He takes the jelly and tells Yu-jeong’s sister-in-law to peel it.
When I took it and opened it, Hayul took one out and ate it right away with an excited expression on her face.
“I was worried because you didn’t come at all. I’m glad that nothing seems to have happened.”
“It’s not like I’m going to die easily. Uh… I’m sorry for interrupting the happy time between my family, but I have a place to go for a while.”
“Right now?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah. But who is it?”
“For now, just my brother. And… Your sister-in-law? I have something to ask.”
“Yes?”
“Is life okay here? Is it worth living?”
“Of course. The bunker here is nice… And everyone is liking it.”
“What if I have to move again?”
“Huh? Moving?”
“At least it’s a better place than here.”
“Us… When Seongcheol says that, we can’t help but listen. Seongcheol did all of this too. You’re talking about moving to a better place, right?”
“Of course. I’m sure everyone has just become attached to this place, but please tell me. I’m going to a better place. It’s not like I can’t come back here anyway, so don’t worry.”
“I understand. But… Right now, right? Because of Seongcheol’s personality?”
“There’s no need to be so crazy like last time. Just tell everyone to pack their bags. Then, Seung-gyu, shall we go?”
The gate is opened, and Seung-gyu enters the gate with a puzzled expression.
Hayul waves his hand at Seung-gyu
I’m jealous. After all, children are precious.
After crossing the gate, Seung-gyu looks around with a bewildered expression.
Okay. It’s worth it. The bunkers they live in are of the highest level in the country, but… Because this is a completely different level.
“Hey… What on earth are we doing here?”
“I’m going to talk about it now. Would you like to stay for a moment?”
I immediately opened the gate and brought Minhee and Manager Jeong in.
In the end, the three of us met. Haha. A day like this will come.
“Everyone follows me.”
The room where Jang Ryong used to stay. As they head there, Minhee, Seunggyu, and Chief Jeong cannot keep their mouths shut.
Even at a glance, the sofa looks really expensive. Have everyone sit down and take out each drink from the storage unit.
Three people who were busy looking at the room without noticing that I was offering them drinks.
“Uh. Can I talk now?”
When I said this, the three looked at me in surprise.
It’s cute what people of a reasonable age do. It’s fun to watch.
“First of all, isn’t this place a bit flashy?”
“I thought I had seen and seen a lot of things in my life… But this is quite amazing. It’s not just a flashy place, but every single item is truly luxurious, isn’t it?”
“Of course. This is the hideout of a guy named Jang Long, who took China into his hands after the world collapsed.”
Three people who are surprised by my story. Manager Jeong is surprised again even though he heard it earlier.
“You mean… Mr. Seongcheol dealt with the person who is said to be Jangryong…?”
As I nod silently, Manager Jeong and Minhee look a little fed up.
And Seung-gyu seems very unfamiliar with this story. Well, I didn’t really talk about this over there.
“I can’t tell the whole story, but I’ll tell you briefly. The three people here were the three highest-ranking people. Jang Ryong, Go Ryong, and Wang Ryong. Jang Ryong was in charge of China, Go Ryong was in charge of leader, and Wang Ryong was in charge of Southeast Asia. But…”
I told him everything about the current situation except for the skills.
When the story was over, the three people looked tired.
“So… There is no one alive in China, leader, or Southeast Asia?”
“No. It’s not that bad. If you look around, you’ll find them alive everywhere. There seems to be quite a bit left in leader, and there seems to be a lot of left in Indonesia in Southeast Asia.”
“Hehe… Still, it’s really hard to believe. So… Is Seongcheol the strongest person in the world?”
“Well, there’s a lot of the world we haven’t explored yet. The United States is alive and well, we haven’t even seen Central and South America yet, and there’s Europe. There’s also the Middle East and Africa.”
“Do you plan to visit all those places?”
“Of course. Anyway… I’ve finished my story, now let’s talk about yours. Let me introduce each of you first. I should have started with this, but I’m not used to communicating with people, so I haven’t done that yet.”〈 Br〉
Minhee smiled slightly, and Manager Jeong and Seunggyu glance at Minhee.
“First… This is Seung-gyu hyung. Uh… Was he Mr. Kim?”
“This is Seung-gyu Kim. Nice to meet you.”
When Seung-gyu says hello, Min-hee and Manager Jeong nod.
And. This is incredibly awkward. I wanted to pretend to do something cool, but it wasn’t easy.
“Seung-gyu… Is currently leading about 20 people in Cheongpyeong. He has leadership skills. He is a good person.”
Seung-gyu scratches the back of his neck as if he is slightly embarrassed.
Next, I looked at Director Jeong and said.
“This person is Manager Jeong. His name is… Uh. The manager’s name was Seon-gyun, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. My name is Jeong Seon-gyun. Nice to meet you.”
This time, the three people greet each other again.
It somehow looks like members of society meeting and greeting each other. It feels very natural. I’m dying of awkwardness.
“This person is currently running a place called Fence in Dongducheon. The total number of people… How many are there now?”
“About 400 people.”
Hmm… Did about 100 people die while attacking North Korea? That’s quite a bit of damage.
“That’s right. And this is Jeong Min-hee. She’s leading the castle. About 200 people?”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Minhee Jeong. That’s right. That’s about it.”
Hello again. Well, that’s enough…
“Minhee. Manager Jeong is the original owner of Uijeongbu, where you live.”
“Ah. I see. Thank you. Thanks to you, I’m using it well.”
“Aha. These are the people who said they would come into the empty space in Uijeongbu. But… What about the castle?”
“That’s right. We caught that guy in the fortress and killed him, and Minhee became the lord of the castle.”
“Oh my. Don’t talk about that castle lord.”
Minhee looks slightly embarrassed.
It’s definitely different from when it’s just me.
It’s a bit strange because I feel like I’m seeing a side of Minhee I don’t know… That’s good too.
This is probably what it looked like before the world collapsed. Because she was a decent member of society.
“Anyway, there is no other reason why I called the three of you. This place is a very secret bunker in the mountains west of Chengdu, China. It is like a secret base that goes far beyond a bunker, but it is extremely safe. The facilities are also It’s spacious and self-sufficient. I think it’s enough to accommodate 300 people, but looking at the size of the facility and the space, it seems like we can bring people from three places together, so there’s no need to risk living separately. No, it’s better if we all stick together.”
“But… I understand the purpose.”
Seunggyu’s cautious words. I looked at him and Seunggyu continued talking.
“I don’t think it’s my place to be here. Considering the size, isn’t it right that Cheongpyeong should just quietly come in with these two people leading it?”
“Anyway… It seems like everyone is trying their best to appear humble. I don’t think so. You have to lead this place with these two people. That’s what I decide, so everyone follows without saying anything. The name of this place is Ark. The leaders are the three people gathered here.”
“The leader is Seongcheol.”
Manager Jeong spoke, and Minhee and Seunggyu nodded.
“Of course, if it’s necessary, we do it. But it’s the three of us who take care of all the practical work. Placing people, producing food, and making sure they can live the rest of their lives without problems. That’s the job of the three of us.”
“You just have to keep doing what you’re doing, right? More comfortably in a more comfortable place?”
Neat words from Director Jeong. I nodded and spoke to what he said.
“That’s right. So now the three of you need to figure out the inside of this place and come together to decide on residential layout, personnel deployment, and security. I’m going to open the gates to each area right here on the lowest floor, so we’ll go back and forth and once we’re done with the layout. Please move immediately.”
When I paused for a moment, three people waited for me to speak.
“Sigh. Let’s see. Tomorrow… At noon. From Fence, all the external team, from Castle, Yejun and Dohyun, from Cheongpyeong, Minjun, Donghyun, Jinyoung, Seungju, and Junghyun… And what? Even Jaehyun Yoon. Please gather like that.”
“All the outside team. I understand.”
“Yejun and Dohyun. I understand.”
“Minjun, Donghyun, Jinyoung, Seungju, Junghyeon, Jaehyun. I understand.”
“Then follow me. Let’s go down to the lowest floor.”
I took the three people down to the lowest level of what had now become an ark rather than Jangryong’s hideout.
The three people who saw the runway, airplane, helicopter, and large empty lot all shook their heads.
“Just wait a moment.”
After saving the empty space on the lowest floor, I first teleported to Dongducheon, found a suitable empty space, and used the gate toward the ark.
After repeating Castle and Cheongpyeong, I returned to the ark and spoke after confirming that the three gates were standing side by side.
“This is the beginning. The gate will not close for a long time. The maintenance time is quite long. So, you can come and go as you like, and Minhee saves all three places. You may need it.”
“Okay.”
“Then, do your best. I believe in the abilities of the three of you.”
“Oh… As expected. Are you just throwing it away like this and leaving right away? That’s like Seongcheol.”
“Ah. Was this person like this there too?”
Minhee with a mischievous expression. Director Jeong looks as if he has met a comrade.
“Yes, of course. And I always leave as if running away.”
“Oh. That happens to us all the time too.”
This time it’s Seunggyu hyung. Ah… For some reason, I feel like I have to leave here quickly.
“Then I’ll see you at noon tomorrow. I’ve done enough. I trust you guys.”
And then he teleported away as if running away.
Ugh. That kind of atmosphere is difficult. No matter how familiar the people are.
The place I was teleported to was Hokkaido. A place I came to after a long time.
I built an ark… You have to take care of the number of passengers.
I put them all together, but I feel uneasy about them alone.
No matter how they gather… Because even one special detachment can cut it all down.
Certain force is needed. And there is a very suitable person there.
“Oppa!”
When I go to Haruka and Aki’s house, Haruka finds me and hugs me with a face that looks like she’s about to cry.
What do you want? Why is he filming a new wave by himself?
“I thought you’d never come again…”
“Huh? Why me?”
“At that time… You just left like that…”
“Didn’t you say you’d see me later and leave? Don’t worry…”
Well, the atmosphere at that time was a bit like that. I left as if I would never see him again.
As I was comforting Haruka, who was crying, Aki appeared with a sigh.
A complex expression looking at me. Why is he looking at me like that again?
“First, sit down. I have something to say to you two.”
Haruka and Aki sat at the table, and I sat in the seat Haruka had mentioned.
Actually, it’s quite awkward to say it. It wasn’t like this until I came here.
“You two. Do you plan to leave Hokkaido and live with Koreans?”
Haruka and Aki look at me with an expression that asks me what I’m talking about.
I told those stories to them.
Simple situations in China, leader, and Southeast Asia and stories of survivor groups I created.
And even the story of gathering them all in one place.
“But why are you and Haruka there?”
“Because I need a strong person to protect it.”
“Just because?”
“There is also a reason why I want to keep watching it because of that excuse.”
Actually… This is crazy.
Minhee. And the five women of Fence, and even the women of Cheongpyeong.
No one knows what will happen if those women gather together.
Maybe my reputation will be ruined for the worst.
Besides, it might never be a good idea to take Haruka and Aki to a place like that.
But… It is necessary for me.
Ark. That is exactly the boundary I set.
It’s like a determination to kill all the humans outside.
Seung Mi Se-an I have no intention of taking your woman to the ark.
These are the four women I truly care about. And the ark that must be left behind.
Because I think I want to divide it into two parts.
“I want to go.”
Haruka’s bold answer. He knew it would be like this.
“Then… “What about Aki?”
“I don’t know.”
“Okay. I’m not asking for an answer right away. Noon tomorrow. Think about it until then. And I hope you accept my offer.”
“I don’t know.”
“Okay. I won’t force you. Then, I’ll see you tomorrow at noon.”
“Huh? Are you going to leave like this!? What about dinner!”
“My presence will interfere with Aki’s thinking.”
“Hey…”
“Then I’ll go. See you tomorrow, Haruka.”
“I understand. I can’t help it.”
“See you tomorrow, Aki.”
“Ha. I understand.”
Aki sighs and answers me.
But even if you say it like that, I have a feeling it will go. For some reason, I feel that way.
