Episode 500: The 6th Catastrophe (1)
USA LA.
It was a quiet afternoon.
At a time when people were spending their daily lives gathering three or three, a child who was being led by her mother looked up at the sky.
"mom. Look over there."
"Yes?"
I raised my head.
The moment she checked where the child was pointing, the mother's complexion turned pale.
"Do, run away… … Fuck!."
A black shadow snatched her mother away.
As soon as she floated into the air, her fragile body was torn to shreds, and the city that used to be lit by sunlight was dyed into darkness.
There were hundreds or thousands of monsters.
The human form flapped its wings and attacked people indiscriminately, and there was no more peaceful atmosphere in LA.
Wow hey hey!
The emergency bell rang.
USA.
The world's most powerful country created a dedicated response team for each city, and responded quickly as soon as they heard the news that a monster had appeared.
The head of the 2nd team dedicated to LA.
Steven looked up at the blackened sky and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"A class-C monster, harpy, attacked the city in a swarm. As thousands of harpies are confirmed with the naked eye, it is presumed that this is a omen, and we will mobilize two dedicated LA response teams to solve the situation. Central Headquarters confirms where the source of the omens is, and at the same time asks for reinforcements. dried."
"Yes."
right beside.
There was a member of the response team.
Steven ended the radio, passed a man he called Marlin, and drew his sword.
"Please come back. To deal with the monsters while ensuring the safety of the people."
"all right."
pod.
Steven ran forward.
In an instant, he dug into the space where the harpies were concentrated, and he began to slaughter the harpies at random.
poof.
Kyaah!
Class A Hunter Steven.
He was classified as a talented person in the United States to the extent that it was evaluated that he might be promoted to S-class within the next two to three years.
Obviously, Steven's strength was outstanding.
He did not stop even after slaughtering dozens of harpies, and Marlin and hundreds of his teammates joined the battle to ensure the safety of people.
primary suppression.
That is why the United States is called a great power.
Their ability was so great that they were able to react in such an instant, no matter what happened.
It was then.
Stephen, who was looking for another opponent by flying the harpy's head, suddenly felt a surge of power in the sky.
pod.
Quiet rumble.
"Ugh."
A cataclysmic beam annihilated the earth.
Steven avoided it for a moment, and looked up at the sky with a pale face.
huge existence.
A monster huge enough to be incomparable to the harpy he had just dealt with, flapping its wings the size of a high-rise building, was looking down at Steven.
"… … A harpy queen."
I got goosebumps.
I found out then
The appearance of the S-class monster, the Harpy Queen.
Stephen picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
"S-class monsters have appeared. It is very likely that a catastrophe that was not a foreshadowing had begun. say it again The S-class monster, the Harpy Queen, has appeared, so quickly raise your troops… … ."
That moment.
Wow!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
A destructive force exploded on the ground again.
As Steven, he could no longer continue the report.
His death marked the beginning of a full-scale catastrophe.
* * *
American news.
South Korea immediately declared an emergency call.
Representatives of the central government, led by President Kim Jeong-tae, were convened, and they quickly reported the information received.
"President. It is said that the Harpy Queen, an S-class monster, has appeared in LA, USA. Besides, seeing that monsters appear in Chicago, New York, Houston, etc., it is clear that this is the 6th catastrophe."
"It's not just that. In Madrid, Spain, an elemental golem, an S-class monster, also appeared. It's unlike any catastrophe I've ever experienced. No matter how catastrophic it was, there were no instances of multiple S-class monsters appearing from the start, but in this catastrophe, two S-class monsters have already appeared. Considering the red time, it is impossible to predict how many S-class monsters will appear."
"Once we mobilized the forces of the capital, we entered the defense system. Give us orders."
raining report.
Kim Jung-tae responded calmly.
It was a desperate situation, but it was not a matter of the immediate destruction of the Republic of Korea.
"Chief of Information."
"Yes."
"What is the current situation in Korea?"
The most important thing was Korea.
No matter what problems arose in countries around the world, it was not the fire that fell on the feet of Korea.
said the intelligence officer.
"There are currently no special signs in South Korea. It seems that the red point was avoided in this catastrophe. Considering that American cities are being attacked, Red Point is presumed to be the United States or Spain, where S-class monsters are infested."
red point.
This is information acquired through repeated catastrophes, and there was a country where the intensity of attacks was particularly severe in the catastrophe.
It was called the Red Point.
Red Point receives tremendous attacks from the moment the catastrophe begins to the end, and the 'boss monster' that announces the end of the catastrophe also appears from Red Point.
blast furnace.
It was a reassuring issue.
If the Republic of Korea had been designated as a red point, the power of a weak country would not have been able to survive for a few days.
said Kim Jeong-tae.
"Even if South Korea is not a red point, it is not yet at the stage of reassurance. As of now, we don't know when, where, or what problems will arise. Each legislator, including the Ministry of Intelligence, closely monitors the situation in the Republic of Korea, and if there is any problem, respond immediately to cut off the problem. keep in mind While the five catastrophes were repeated, some countries that responded complacely met the worst outcome of destruction. The Republic of Korea needs to be more careful than ever so that it does not face the same consequences as them."
"I will keep that in mind."
"I will follow your orders."
It was a strong voice.
People showed their loyalty to Kim Jung-tae due to his charisma that grabbed lawmakers at once.
It was then.
As we were about to wrap up the emergency meeting, an intelligence officer broke into the conference room and told us about the desperate reality.
"It's urgent. A monster wave has occurred in Incheon!"
Monster wave.
It meant the fact that the Republic of Korea faced the threat of catastrophe.
* * *
The atmosphere was chilly.
A phenomenon in which monsters appear suddenly.
That was Monster Wave.
Because it meant that monsters were constantly rushing in like a wave, some of the lawmakers spoke in an urgent voice.
"Monster Wave. South Korea is no longer safe."
"If it's Incheon, it's near the capital. The moment they collapse, Seoul is attacked in an instant. We need to send troops quickly. Blocking the monster wave, mainly in Incheon, is a way to reduce losses."
It was a reasonable solution.
It was necessary to solve the first problem and prepare for the subsequent situation.
By the way.
Kim Jung-tae looked at the lawmakers who spoke with cold eyes.
"Are you saying that now?"
"Hey, what… … ."
"As always, in order to protect the Republic of Korea, we must act according to principles. red time. Monsters from all over the world appear for the first three days from the time of the disaster. And only when we have to deal with all those monsters and the boss monster, we say that we have finally stopped the threat of catastrophe. But, at a time when the first day of red time has not yet passed, do you mean to open the gates of the capital and help Incheon? Incheon is only near the capital, but it is not the capital. That means it's not something we need to address right away."
It was a cold reaction.
capital city people said.
Kim Jung-tae is a wise president.
Because of his presence, those who stay in the capital can be assured of safety in the face of catastrophe.
But.
Local people were different.
Due to the clear wall dividing the capital and the provinces, the local people had no choice but to be drawn to danger.
A man called a human without blood or tears by local people.
He was President Kim Jung-tae.
Kim Jung-tae turned his gaze away from the bewildered lawmakers and spoke with a firm voice to the majority of his followers.
"If the capital is opened, the Republic of Korea will be over. We will focus on ensuring safety here in Seoul until the end of red time. rather good thing Incheon Government and Roman Dmitry. They revolted against the work of the central government. Their destruction will be a good example for the future of the Republic of Korea."
laughed
Burying himself in the chair, he revealed his cruel side.
"It would be good to get some rest now. Before the catastrophe is over, this kind of leeway won't be common."
* * *
At that time, Incheon.
Kim Jun-hyuk also understood the situation.
"A monster wave has occurred. According to the report of the scouts, the monsters will arrive in Incheon within the next 30 minutes, and the scale is so large that it is difficult to fully understand."
secretary's words.
It was disappointing news.
Kim Jun-hyuk calmly accepted that fact.
He hoped to avoid the catastrophe as much as possible, but that didn't mean he didn't expect such a situation.
Tickle.
I turned on the mic.
If you say it through this, all Incheon citizens will be able to hear it.
[This is Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok. Just now. We have received a report that a monster wave has occurred near Incheon. The catastrophe has begun. It is the sixth catastrophe that has destroyed mankind, and we must fight to survive again, as we have repeated over the past 20 years. Don't be agitated. Respond calmly. We've been preparing for catastrophe, and fear can't solve any problem.]
It was a calm voice.
Kim Jun-hyeok, who made the problem seem like a non-problem, continued his conversation with such a peaceful and calm voice.
[From now on, all Incheon citizens, please go to your assigned location. Ordinary citizens who are not participating in the battle will go to shelter, and vigilantes will protect ordinary citizens and help them reach the shelter without missing a single one. And keep that in mind. Whatever happens outside the shelter, never come out. Typically, a catastrophe will ensure the minimum safety within a full month after the end of the red time. Even if you are anxious inside, trust me as the mayor of Incheon and put your own safety first. Control yourself and be patient. We promise to all the citizens of Incheon. I will never leave you and run away. so… … .]
grabbed the mic.
Putting his hand on the end button, he uttered his last words.
[See you in a full month.]
tuk.
I hung up the mic.
Kim Junhyuk looked at the microphone for a moment without saying a word.
this catastrophe.
Two S-class monsters appeared from the start, and the first monster wave in Korea occurred near Incheon.
Perhaps the self-centered central government and other local governments that are too desperate to live on will not help.
indeed.
Can Incheon survive on its own?
Although he knows that this is impossible with common sense in the world, Kim Jun-hyuk only wanted to deny common sense this time.
'Last three months. We had a tough time.'
Roman Dmitry.
trusted him
In the time I spent with him, a flame of hope spread in Incheon.
'At first, I was skeptical. Even as an S-class hunter, he witnessed a powerful blow that destroyed hundreds of monsters at once. Is it true that Roman Dmitry believes in only one person and can handle the catastrophe independently of the central government? But now it's different. The more I got to know him, the more convinced I was that it was him, not the central government, who would protect Incheon. If it were not for him, no one could guarantee Incheon's safety.'
"Whoa."
took a breath
My heart raced.
As the blood boiled, his expression became so calm that it felt cold.
"If we survive, the game will be completely changed in Korea."
He pulled out a pistol from his pocket.
After checking the magazine, he got up and went outside.
squeaky.
outside the office.
The direct commanders had already gathered.
Kim Jun-hyeok quietly walked between them and asked Park Chul-min, who was right next to him.
"How about Roman Dmitry?"
"You are on the first line of defense just like Captain Lee Tae-seong."
"is it."
There was nothing more to say.
from 3 months to now.
When a catastrophe struck, Incheon conducted countless simulation exercises on how to respond.
blast furnace.
"We go to the second line of defense."
"all right."
The catastrophe has begun.
If we cannot secure the safety of Incheon.
As the mayor of Incheon, he will never come back here alive again.
