2029. 03. 05. Monday morning.
I wake up in an officetel that has been transformed into a fixed residence.
As the sunlight streamed in through the window, I got up from the bed and felt a warm sensation through the soles of my feet.
It’s been 6 months since I lived my second life, and now I’m accepting unlimited heating.
Soon, after clearing his throat with water boiled in an electric kettle, he turns on the TV with the remote control and approaches the equipment locker on the other side of the room to check the condition.
Armor and gauntlets were placed inside the glass tube.
They said it would adjust the humidity and temperature on its own, but I had to check it with my own two eyes to solve my problem.
%RH (humidity) 39 and the temperature is 23 degrees.
Each number is suitable for preserving the jewel, but only after stirring it with your hands, you will be relieved.
It was cool just right.
Hororok.
In response, I head to the sofa with a hot mug in hand. In my ears, the anchorman’s voice delivering the morning news flowed into my ears.
[The People’s Bank of China has taken measures to lower the benchmark interest rate by 0.5 points at once. It was the first time in three years that the People’s Bank of China significantly lowered the benchmark interest rate, and when the northern front was pushed back and the domestic economy shrank, it again actively intervened.]
[According to the announcement of the Supervisory Bureau, last February, the number of newly awakened people was 638, of which 442 people will be admitted to the training academy. This is a 9 percent increase compared to the same period last year, and it also means that the proportion of those subject to exclusion has decreased by that much. In particular, the main reason is that the frequency of accidents has decreased in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.]
[The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy just yesterday announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Russian side. Although not binding due to the nature of the memorandum of understanding, it is news that state-owned companies in the energy and mining sectors, such as Tatneft and Bashneft, have been included one after another. Experts say that Russia’s participation in the excavation of breeding grounds will affect the change in the attitude of the United States.]
[The last brief message is words, words, words from a spokesperson for the Department of Defense. Bu Seung-soo, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, finally mentioned the issue at the awarding ceremony last February. It seems that there was a misunderstanding in the process of communicating with the hero Lee Yong-soo, and the Ministry of National Defense announced that it would be happy to accept the award of medals to incumbent heroes. However, I remain silent about the content that former and incumbent generals objected to… … .]
It took a while for the news to flow out of the wide screen.
At first, I thought it was a normal winter news.
I thought it would be better to eat breakfast than to hear about the incidents and accidents I was involved in.
rattle.
As soon as I opened the refrigerator door, I saw a plastic pack containing salad, meat, fries, and fruit.
The note on the lid said to eat it in the microwave, leaving out the fruit and salad compartments.
Despite Park Yoo-jin’s kind advice, I take it out and chew it. Since I was already indulging in too much luxury, there was no need to warm it up.
In the midst of this, unpleasant subtitles appear one after another on the TV screen.
[Comprehensive statistics for January and February in the metropolitan area: 71 dead and 166 injured.]
It’s also a problem that the word ‘comprehensive statistics’ leaves out the fact that the majority of them were killed by the Awoken, but there are many other points to point out.
Excluding provinces, only the metropolitan area was targeted, and even that was clear that the casualty figures were manipulated.
From November of last year to February of this year, more than 600 people awakened, but about 400 people were eligible for admission.
If the number of people in the rain is killed one by one by simple calculation… No, even if one of the two was finished in the line of serious injury, 100 people died.
71 people?
It’s not worth it.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the series of deductions are quickly swept away by the parrot’s rampage.
＜What do you think while eating a high-quality lunch box? Rather, take care of me. Give me some food!＞
“… … .”
＜Bob! feed! Diet! feed! Give me some food!＞
Just a moment ago, I was dozing off with my eyelids closed.
The new head screamed in protest, adding a quack-quack voice.
＜You don’t want to wake up? Then give me one of those green grapes.＞
“… … .”
＜mmm, the walnut next to it.＞
Did something exciting happen?
Even as it digs into green grapes with its beak, the twitching of its hips does not know how to stop.
＜Of course not. Because today is a very important day. It’s a waste of time to show off a socially critical perspective like you.＞
“What is important?”
＜It’s the start of the new semester at the fostering academy, the first overseas team convening, and the day we go to meet the monster living in the Han River! What if the person does not know?＞
As I frowned at the sound I didn’t understand easily, the parrot finally uttered a proper explanation.
It is related to the mission of the Goddess.
＜Because either UAE or Russia will open a new path. Quetzal is in the west and eagle is in the north. remember?＞
“… Isn’t it too close to the north? Besides, it must be a wasteland either way, so how can you find it in that vast land mass?”
＜No, no. did you forget you don’t have to find They’ll figure it out. Even if I talk all the time, he won’t listen, won.＞
Then I saw it.
Venetus is just a special case, because the previous high-level monsters were impatient because they couldn’t kill me.
But the problem is… In this case, the merits of the two options were sharply divided.
Although the first schedule was a meeting with the B-7 attack team, they entered the HT Group building dressed in white uniforms.
Because it was the first day of class, I boldly skipped classes in the morning, but in the afternoon, I had to stop by the nurturing academy to apply for the dispatch of the ‘raid 1’ raid.
At first glance, I think it’s cumbersome and useless, but there are times when being affiliated with a nurturing academy helps.
For example, it simplifies complex procedures.
“There will be no problem leaving the UAE and Russia, right?”
“Even though the hero Lee Yong-soo is a minor, there is nothing legally involved. If dispatching is possible within the nurturing academy, overseas departures are handled in the same way as in Korea. If the organizer posts the mission and the engineering commander accepts it, it goes out. At this time, the B-7 team will sign a separate contract. As the main raid role.”
“… Can’t I just go out as a member of B-7?”
“Yes. They said it could be a problem under international law. Utilizing the Awakener training system is also an expedient, but… Because nominally different is different. If you haven’t graduated at all, it’s better to use the dispatch system.”
On the 6th floor of the West Building, in the raid meeting room.
At Park Yu-jin’s answer, the engineers sitting around the desk expressed their dissatisfaction by clicking their tongues.
Unlike the United States, where the number of dispatches per year is fixed, the Republic of Korea, which does not limit the number of dispatches except for rest periods, was relatively spacious, but I think the limit is excessive.
In response, Kim Sang-hoon, head of the engineering team, evoked the atmosphere by tapping the desk with his knuckles.
“Anyway, since there is no problem with departure, let’s move on to the next step. First, let’s check the UAE side data.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s start with pages 1-6.”
As the full-fledged discussion was about to begin, the quick-witted manager slipped out of the meeting room, and as soon as he turned over the thick paper, unfamiliar territory came out.
At first glance, it resembles boots, the United Arab Emirates.
“The destination is the Buhassa oil field, about 190 kilometers southwest of Abu Dhabi. It’s not exactly an oil field, it’s an oil production area that spans a wide area. About 22 percent of this area was occupied by monsters.”
“A recapture mission? If it’s a desert terrain, I’ll curse you.”
“you’re right. Attack groups from India, Israel, Greece and Italy will participate, and assuming the operation period is early April, it is said that it will be around 30 to 33 degrees.”
“… This could put you in a difficult situation from weapon management to supply. The main target is a level 3 monster, and the group is 630… The average rating is pretty high. It is unusual to start with the basic 7th grade.”
“Yes. Apparently, the environment is the environment, so the local monsters say they take the survival of the fittest method. The weak will be eaten.”
In response to the engineering captain’s answer, Go Won-cheol, a station master, picks up a saliva and swallows it.
Although the number is small, the weather is muggy and the average difficulty level of the monsters is high. Moreover, it was obvious that all the monsters with regional characteristics were new to them.
If he had been a little closer to the existing C-9 engineering corps members, he would have spit out swear words.
The talented person who joined midway has no choice but to present a problem in a polite manner.
“I like the strong regional characteristics. Vladivostok is close to the Korean Peninsula, so there must be monsters similar to them, but even if there is no information here, there is too little.”
“I was going to consider the Russian proposal as well. Let’s move on to page 2-3.”
As if he had waited, as he mentioned the next order, the sound of turning papers filled the meeting room, and soon the second briefing followed.
The topography of Vladivostok is familiar from having seen it many times, but something sticks out… It also resembles a snail’s head.
“The operational area is Artium, about 46 kilometers north of the port of Vladivostok. A part of the Trans-Siberian Railway was destroyed, and they said they needed the help of a person with special powers to restore the section. Contrary to the UAE, it will stay between minus 3 and 1 degree around April. However, it is not the time when it snows a lot.”
“Sounds good so far.”
“Yes. The problem is the size of the monster horde. Russia shares borders with the Chinese provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang. And both are plagued by high-end breeding grounds.”
“The exact size… … ?”
“It is written on pages 2-7. One level 3 monster, four level 4 monsters, and about 2,800 other lower level monsters.”
“This crazy… … .”
In an instant, swear words burst out of the snout of Seonghan Choo, a man with the ability to poison blood.
It’s not like it’s not, but at this point, it’s a medium-sized wave, and even 5th and 6th grade monsters are included, so the comparison was meaningless.
Then, suddenly, the organizer of the meeting comes out and relieves the worries.
The amount of power being put in will be significant.
“It is a well-known fact that Russia is a powerhouse of talented people. Not only military units, but also 1st to 3rd grade heroes will be put in. Erast Denisov, Ia Rozhkova, Greta Andreyev and many others will be fighting alongside you.”
And the group’s facial expressions change in an instant.
Erast Denisov, a meteorologist and ranked 11th in combat support.
Ia Rozekova, a tough guy who ranked 21st in the international rankings.
In addition, to Greta Andreev, who is famous for her split magic.
They were heroes that were mentioned from time to time in the publication of the International Association of Specialized Persons.
I killed one of the three with my own hands, anyway.
It was enough to make Choo Seong-han excited.
“Then it is definitely Russia. I don’t know when we can meet… … . Hmmm, we’ll see later, but until then, they’re heroes that aren’t easy to meet. If you take this opportunity to build friendships and get advice, wouldn’t it be as good as that? I will choose Vladivostok.”
To this, the air chief responded with a short reply.
“Yes. However, one thing must be made clear. The final destination will be determined by Lee Yong-soo’s decision.”
“… Yes?”
“In the case of UAE, it is an issue under discussion by HT Construction, but this is a mission suggested by the Russian government. I did not invite B-7, but Lee Yong-soo. Keep everyone in mind.”
The words were spat out at the questioner, but his gaze remained on me.
