42. paradise (1)
Viva before destruction strikes! The most popular section in Apocalypse! was “Show off my shelter”.
Apocalypseists from around the world have revealed their refuges and inspired many others on the same path.
In fact, each of the shelters they certified had merits that made them nod their heads.
Shelter did not necessarily mean digging an air-raid shelter or building a defense facility.
A Canadian user has completely mastered the ways of Native Americans and has certified through his overwhelming camping skills and hunting skills that he can live without cumbersome equipment or construction.
The refuge he boasted of was an endless primeval forest.
On the other hand, there were wealthy users who shut everyone’s mouths with overwhelming money.
No one dared to throw up in front of the Arabian oilman, who was equipped with survival necessities as well as bodyguards and helicopters on a luxury yacht worth over 100 billion won.
It was Chairman Park Chul-joo, a former conglomerate, who built the most splendid refuge in Korea.
It is safe to say that his fortress, which built a magnificent fortress on a hill, was equipped with agricultural and livestock products facilities, and even a small golf course, was a small world.
However, the fort was destroyed by an unexpected artillery bombardment and fell into ruins.
The legionnaires’ artillery shelled for no reason, and the chaebol’s fort collapsed helplessly.
After that, few people know about the fate of the chaebol family.
They came to my territory two days after the Jeju fleet arrived.

Message from unicorn18: Noon! Won’t you upload the beatbox again?! I’m on a full beat now! (@@ )( @^))(@@ )( @@)
Recently Unicorn 18 sends me messages every day.
Why are you doing this?
I think I know why, but it’s a little burdensome.
But it’s better to be patient.
“…”
It is strategic ambiguity.
It actually worked.
“senior.”
Shortly after Skelton’s Beatbox (4) was uploaded, Minhee Woo contacted me directly.
“Senior, don’t you have any strange hobbies?”
“What are you talking about?”
“No, no. nothing.”
She cut off communication as if she were running away.
There is no way to know the woman’s intentions, but perhaps she was a little suspicious of this skeleton.
Well, personal identification number and Viva! Apocalypse! If the nickname is the same, everyone would be suspicious.
There is a lot of debate going on in Failnet and our bulletin board.
The main topic is, of course, the evacuation fleet to Jeju Island.
A video released by the government showed numerous ships standing in a row against the backdrop of the blue Jeju Port, spitting out countless people.
The people who arrived in Jeju Island were waiting for their families with happy expressions on their faces. Or, I hugged a person who seemed to be a welcome crowd.
It’s an emotionally moving video in this era where there’s not much to be happy about, but some people have argued that the video is a fabricated fake.
Among them, the most passionate was m9, the best name on the bulletin board in Jeju Island.
There is no way to know what they did before the destruction, but now m9 is working as the best fake video discrimination expert in Korea.

“······What.”
I’m not sure.
This side hasn’t done much research, and it’s tiring to doubt the facts.
Still, it’s fun to see a positiveist and a negativeist engage in a keyboard battle and fight.
Seeing how the time like homework goes by in a flash if you look at it for a while.
But before that, there is work to be done.
organize food
rustle
The food warehouse, which seemed to last forever, began to reveal empty seats one by one.
In particular, the consumption of the freezer is extreme, which is intended.
Even if I ate the same food, I ate the food preserved in the freezer first and tried to dispose of it.
After operating the freezer for nearly three years, electricity is also electricity, but the risk of not being able to operate the freezer is too great.
It is good to blindly accumulate a lot, but that is after securing infinite power and safety.
My territory is a safe place, but no place is 100% safe.
No one knows when another crisis will strike.
It would be better to reduce the specific gravity of frozen food and change it to a form that is easy to preserve even if it is left frozen.
Like replacing raw meat with smoked meat, making pemmican like before, or switching to beef jerky or sausage.
The biggest trouble is the prey given by Gold.
From nob le mt l dot com
Gold threw away some beasts and stopped looking for my territory.
He seemed to think that that was enough for the treatment fee.
So, he thinks the price of his life is one boar, two elk, three chickens and three pheasants.
I ate chicken and pheasant alone in a hurry, but the problem is four-legged beasts.
Especially gorilla meat.
I can’t possibly eat this.
The hurdles are too high for me, who cannot even eat wild boar meat.
Well, I guess I’m still not hungry.
Seeing them complaining about side dishes in this terrible world.
Still, this elk meat is a great source of protein.
I heard that deer meat is rich in protein.
How should I eat this guy?
After much thought, I think it would be better to make sausages.
Unlike beef jerky, the volume does not decrease and the preservation power is quite high.
We have ingredients and utensils for making sausages.
After thinking about it, I immediately started working on it.
The half-skinned skin was stripped, the corpse dismembered, and the flesh and fat separated from the bones.
It was a time-consuming task, so I left the walkie-talkie, radio, and communicator nearby.
Weiying—
The minced meat was ground up and dropped into a large bowl.
White fat is next.
It’s not from elk, it’s pork fat.
When making sausages, it is said that whatever meat is mixed with pork fat, the flavor is better and it is made beautifully.
When grinding fat, the point is to go with crushed ice.
A half-full bowl of red minced meat was topped with white liver fat like a sauce.
A smooth start.
I’m going to make one today and finish it tomorrow too. including wild boar meat.
I don’t know how it tastes, but if I’m hungry, won’t I eat it too?
It was the time when I tried to spur my work with that thought.
A car horn sounded in the distance.
Is it a pioneering team?
I took off my gloves and looked around through the periscope.
A jeep is standing on the side leading to the US military base.
It doesn’t appear to be a pioneering team.
Seeing that there is no loud flag symbolizing them.
What kind of person could he be? After observing for a while, this time the walkie-talkie rang.
tooth support-
“Hunter Park Gyu? Are you alive?”
A young woman’s voice.
It is a voice in memory.
As I was trying to remember who it was, they contacted me again.
“This is Ji Young-hee. who helped before. Are you alive?”
Why do you ask me if I’m alive twice?
I could have answered, but I ignored it for now.
If I have something to do, I will come this way, and then I will know how many people have been brought from this side and what they have come for without having to talk about it.
I put the bowl under the periscope and started kneading.
The important thing is to mix well so that the curing salt containing sodium nitrite does not clump together.
Sodium nitrite is said to kill if ingested more than 10g at once.
But if you don’t put this in, another person-killing germ will develop in the sausage.
Therefore, if you do not want to die from eating sodium nitrite, you have to rub hard.
snug-
While rubbing the meat dough vigorously, he continued to look at the sympathy from the outside.
After kneading it about 30 times, I think I observed the outside.
The radio was no longer heard.
No jeeps ever came here.
Instead, another vehicle appeared at the US military base.
not one or two
it’s a huge group
A large fleet of vehicles—one container trailer, two large trucks, and five four-wheel drive SUVs—appeared in my domain.
The scale was so great that I immediately stopped work and checked the armament.
Firearms and live ammunition, grenades and recoilless guns, claymores.
The Javelin, which will be used in an emergency, also has a battery attached just in case.
beep-
While listening to the sound of the Javelin, I reported the news to the sniper mother and daughter through the bulletin board.
“There is a large convoy of vehicles in front of me right now. It’s far from that side, but know it.”
I received a new communicator from the Defender siblings and presented it to the sniper mother and daughter.
A walkie-talkie is good and the Internet is good, but for short-distance communication, there is no such thing as a communicator with its own encryption function.
“okay. Call me if anything happens.”
Sue replied.
“huh.”
My heart is grateful, but I have no intention of dragging them into a fight.
I don’t know if it’s an unfortunate fight for one or two people, but asking for help against an enemy with an overwhelming difference from the start is no different than dying together.
Lee Park-kyu did not live without conscience to that extent.
I wanted to contact the Defender siblings, but to go there, I have to go through the ordeal of gold.
First of all, I informed only the mother and daughter of the sniper and continued to look for sympathy from the outside.
The sun was now leaning west in the middle of the sky.
The sunlight was rather stinging than warm, and at the end of the field of vision, a haze rose without fail, disturbing the watch.
I thought for a moment.
I wondered if it was wrong to tell Ji Young-hee where I was.
That’s not going to happen.
When you feel anxious, you regret everything.
So, it seems suspicious.
I will say it for sure.
I did the best option I could at the time.
I don’t regret my decision
All evening they hadn’t left the air base.
It was obscured by the trailer’s cargo and other obstacles, but it appeared to be working in front of the US military base.
“There are people on the side of the US military base. It’s not a pioneering team, but I don’t know what its purpose is, so please refer to it.”
I also contacted Defender.
“okay. Skeleton.”
The work of mixing the meat was resumed.
It was sparse, but the meat, which had been cold for a long time, was now at a temperature similar to my body temperature.
Spices, seasonings, and MSG were added, mixed once with a machine, and the meat was injected into a collagen shell called a sausage casing.
For a first time, it worked well.
The sausage casing was unexpectedly resilient and held up well, resulting in a well-shaped sausage.
But the taste will be difficult to expect.
To cover the taste of the meat, it was made by grinding the meat and adding various spices to it.
Is it the food you eat to live?
But even this would be a luxurious meal for people in Incheon.
Right now, even defenders and snipers will enjoy it.
After making about ten such sausages, I looked toward the air base.
“hmm?”
For a moment I doubted my eyes.
It had to be.
Because they were having a barbecue party.
“no.”
I immediately came out of the shelter and took a closer look through the telescope.
About 15 people gathered around the fire.
A mixed group of men and women, each holding a glass of beer, smiled as they watched the meat cook.
There’s no way the smell from that side could permeate this way, but watching them string various vegetables and meat on large iron skewers and cook them thickly on a charcoal grill, I can feel the scent wafting all over the place.
An involuntary thought.
Are you trying to lure me with food?
“…”
That would be an overestimation of yourself.
However, it is true that the scenery has softened my guard to some extent.
“excuse me. Can you hear me?”
said into the walkie-talkie.
“I am Park Kyu. Do you remember?”
*
“long time no see. Park Kyu Hunter. There was no contact, so I thought something had happened.”
Ji Young-hee did not accompany her father this time.
I didn’t have to ask.
A more important person was standing in front of me, glaring at me with wide eyes.
Park Cheol-joo.
He is the chairman of Seokju Group, the two largest conglomerates in Korea, whose traces are hard to find now.
Instead of talking directly to me, he leaned down and whispered something to the older man who seemed to be a subordinate.
The man said something to Ji Young-hee, and Ji Young-hee answered with a wave of her hand.
“Hunter Park Gyu is not the kind of person. live alone here I checked with my father several times.”
It seems that I am the one who is suspicious.
It’s because I always doubt whether others are predators or not. In fact, I will look similar in the eyes of others.
It’s an era where the mere fact of being a young, gun-armed man can be enough of a threat to strangers.
Wouldn’t it be more vigilant if it was a person with a hunter label?
Ji Young-hee led me to another table.
It was a dark spot away from the fire, but she still served me a plate of meat and a glass of beer.
“Alcohol is fine.”
“I have a Coke, too.”
“Coke, please.”
I ate meat while she went to get a Coke.
“!”
Eyes flashed open.
it’s real beef
how long has it been I’ve never eaten such delicious beef.
It’s not just beef.
The freshness of the paprika and green onion that is put together is alive.
As I was frantically devouring a skewer, Ji Young-hee approached me.
“Would you like more?”
“No, it’s okay. I ate enough. Rather, what’s going on here?”
I slowly emptied the rest of the plate and listened to her story.
Ji Young-hee did not tell a single story of herself.
Why is she hanging out with Seok-ju’s group and where has her father gone?
Instead, she spoke in her characteristic timid tone the purpose of those who acted with her.
“Are you thinking of going to Japan?”
“Japan?”
I doubted my ears for a moment.
it’s Japan
Currently, Japan is implementing a complete containment policy.
No ships, aircraft, or persons are allowed to enter Japan.
Rumors circulated that a refugee ship carrying thousands of people departing from Busan had been sunk by Japanese warships.
At least to my ears, the words of going to Japan sounded like going to die.
“Japan? Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
“I got permission. Because the chairman has connections with Japanese politicians.”
“okay. Where are you going in Japan?”
“He’s going to the Ogasawara Islands.”
Ji Yeong-hee smiled and took out her cell phone and showed me a picture of an exotic tropical island, probably taken for tourism promotion purposes.
“The president told me.”
she smiled.
“Let’s get out of hell and go to paradise.”
I didn’t ask how I was going because that smile looked so happy.
I know how hard it is to have even a little hope in this terrible world.
I had a good meal.
That would be enough.

The day has passed.
Following yesterday and today, I watched their work from afar while making elk sausages.
The container door opened and something was pulled out on a forklift.
The moment I confirmed the identity of the cargo pulled out of the container, I exclaimed involuntarily.
it’s an airplane
Although not yet assembled, the plane harbored the hope of taking it anywhere in the world in its elegant silver fuselage.
