There was a time when the sky was blocked for a while after the Wyvern appeared.

The closure, which was thought to be temporary, has since been prolonged with the advent of the 7-star dungeon.

Civil aircraft without firearms became a risk in itself, and all but a few short-distance routes were closed, and only fighters were flying in the sky to fight flying monsters.

As all logistics had no choice but to use the sea, each country's trade itself became difficult.

Even that sea monster appeared this time.

Exactly, a huge sea monster.

The risk has increased significantly with the advent of 'mythical monsters,' a nomenclature whose origins are unknown.

Even during the period of human prosperity, which once extended its activity to space, only a very small fraction of the sea was explored.

The mythical monsters that devoured the sea by nesting in the deep sea, where even firearms are useless, cut off the sea route for all mankind.

Due to its huge size and lack of prior information, it suffered considerable damage at first, but now it is possible to hunt without using tactical nukes if you attack the weak points well.

But that's also the story of when they came out to sea.

The land was cut off as the number of monsters increased due to the simultaneous dungeon break, and routes and sea routes were also blocked.

Hundreds of cities divided into city-states had to come up with their own way of survival.

Compared to small towns that immediately started stockpiling supplies, the damage caused by the movement of logistics in large cities has not yet affected the lives of citizens.

Even the leadership was not without worries.

Korean government.

These days, not a single day goes by without an emergency agenda.

The meeting was in full swing again due to the simultaneous appearance and appearance of enormous large sea monsters.

"In a way, isn't that unfortunate? Now that Japan, which has a superior maritime power, is stuck, there is no need to worry about their provocations."

"Uh-huh, what's the problem with war now? They are all going to starve to death."

"That's something we have to deal with from now on, and I'm glad we avoided the immediate threat, isn't it?"

"Things have gotten ridiculous. If things were going to be like this, Busan independence should have been prevented desperately."

Just as Japan is in crisis, Korea is also in crisis.

There was a time when they lived in the city and used the nearby fields as arable land to get their produce.

There were also guilds that rarely set up small farms to farm.

However, as large-scale agricultural products were imported from the planet Aruka, field cultivation decreased, and now, a large-scale agricultural complex has been established in Icheon.

The Icheon Agricultural Complex is still being maintained as it is under the protection of a military base stationed nearby as a national project, but as the number of monsters in the field gradually increases, it is unknown when it will be closed.

"It is impossible to feed all the citizens of Seoul with rice from the Icheon complex."

"The ship is cut off, so it's difficult."

The planet Aruka, the largest grain producer.

South Korea had two bridge portals leading to it.

One in Busan and one in Jeju Island.

The reason that I was able to relax even after Busan's independence was because it was possible to procure enough food from Jeju Island.

"Isn't it enough to deploy maritime power while operating food carriers?"

"Uh-huh, if a carrier takes damage during a battle, isn't it a hoax anyway?"

"Everyone, calm down."

When President Ryu Dam, who had not seen him, said a word, the ministers, who each had their faces screaming, shut their mouths.

"What about forecasts from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry? Is the stockpile enough?"

"10 months is no problem. But even before that, if citizens start to feel insecure, it is too late."

"What's even worse is that more than half of the stockpiles are in each guild. If they lock the stock, the surge will be faster than that."

People's panic is more of a problem than the immediate supply and demand.

There was a war of words over how to maintain the land route to Busan by concentrating the military forces and how to maintain the sea route with Jeju Island, but there was not enough time to choose one.

"Both go."

It's not just Seoul.

Cities such as Daegu and Jeonju also needed supplies, and the existing roads decided to protect transport vehicles even if the military was too heavy.

Fortunately, bloodstone, which is the fuel used to drive vehicles, is now more readily available than before.

"Collect all subspace artifacts. We will set up a separate food procurement team for Jeju Island."

Slow and responsive, we judged that it was too much for a large transport ship, so we sought a logistics solution with Jeju Island using a high-speed ship or a high-speed transport drone.

Small cargo space decided to get help from subspace. A large space is very rare, but a small one is still quite affordable, so I thought it would be as effective as a small carrier.

We must solve the food supply and demand problem before citizens become panic-stricken.

It's not an immediate problem because large cities have large stockpiles, but some small towns have a problem that is enough to cut rations right away.

In particular, the small towns on the North Korean side were already on the verge of collapse and were in the process of self-reliance without any help from the regime.

Suho City, which is expected to have the least population density among small towns, has undergone extensive farmland reclamation with the return of the president.

Cuckoo.

The ground turned over and the soil was mixed.

Suho, who had finished the work of dozens of heavy equipment in an instant, rubbed his stomach.

"I'm hungry."

What heavy equipment is more efficient than this?

"How about noodles?"

good.

"How many bowls would you like?"

six.

Yep.

Dong-soo quickly called and finished the order.

"Yes, I will show you right away when I come out. Yes, eight bowls."

"Are you two bowls of people who didn't even work?"

"Hey, why aren't you working? Are you all looking at me like this?"

There are two Awakeners in the Guardian Guild with video memory skills.

Seo Min-soo and Han Dong-soo.

The two took turns following Suho, taking every move.

It served as a black box to prevent the manipulation that occurred last time in Japan, and it was also used for filming a video to be uploaded to YouTube.

Of course, for Suho, there is nothing more and nothing less than a companion.

"What were you planting here?"

"Sweet potato. here.

Suho grabbed the box Dongsu gave him and threw it into the air.

Whirrik.

At that moment, the wind blew, and the cut sweet potato pieces were scattered here and there.

As Suho used the 'fast growth' skill, it quickly took root and sprouted.

He overturned the wide field and over-exploited his skills, so his coordination quickly ran out.

"Wow, I think I can see why America coveted you so much."

The sweet potato field spread out in front of you now is a whopping 5,000 pyeong.

It took only an hour and twenty minutes for the fields to be planted and for the sweet potatoes to sprout and spread their leaves.

"Let's eat noodles."

Just then, a motorcycle from the inner city arrived and unloaded the iron bag.

"Oh, the boss is always working hard."

"It's no big deal."

"Haha, if you have time, what can I do with onions? The price of onions is gold because of the clutter these days. gold.

"The next field is to plant onions."

"Aww, thank you as always. It is a godsend that I closed the store and joined the Guardian Guild. I am very comfortable and happy these days."

The owner of the Myungga Noodles restaurant was excited, and after rolling up the noodles he brought with him, he went back with an empty bowl.

The sweet potatoes were grown in an instant using the power of harmony. When the 5,000 pyeong field became green with sweet potato leaves, Suho moved to the wasteland next to it.

Even though he did clearing, planting and growing crops, there was nothing he could do about it until harvest.

"Wow, if you have a real brother, at least you won't have to worry about starving."

Dongsoo acknowledged the United States, which paid attention to the value of Suho's rapid growth skills from the beginning.

This skill is a scam.

Physical constraints such as fields or nutrients are not the problem.

It's a skill that reduces the 'time' of growth itself.

'No, you are a fraud.'

Beasts are just monsters unless they are ruled by guardians.

A castle surrounded by forests protected by monsters.

After the group of monkeys took their place on the outer wall, the monsters in the field that had been hiding from time to time disappeared altogether.

It was still a vast outer fortress site with most of the wasteland, but development was progressing step by step.

The roaming wild beasts even act as police officers, so it can't be any safer than this.

Suho again plowed a large wasteland.

Earth Slam is a skill comparable to earthquakes, but it is not a telekinesis, so it cannot pick out stones.

However, that did not mean that there was no way. Suho split the stones and split them to the level of pebbles, leveling the fields.

Onion seeds that had not been prepared in advance were purchased in bulk at the Seongseong Store in the field that had been cleared, and they were roughly thrown around and used for rapid growth.

It was half grown and stopped due to lack of coordination, but Suho didn't care. It's not just his years that raise them.

Even if you leave it alone, it will grow.

Only the harvest time is different.

"Let's do this today."

"Yes, then where are you going?"

"Ah, you're following me around like crazy."

"Think of it as your personal assistant."

Suho wondered what the person who took these measures was doing now.

"Smile, what are you doing now?"

"You went to the association."

I had a business to do with the management office, so I took a transport drone.

If you go by land, you can't go there, but it costs twice as much for security personnel. Even now, wolves were escorting freight vehicles between Seoul and Suho City.

"Let's go see Gunwoona."

"Geonwoo, I was passing through the North Gate with the party master earlier."

Well?

It looks like he went on a field hunt.

If my younger brother finds out, I'll be mad again, but I'm attacking the dungeon right now... .

At that time, the area where the portals of the outer fortress occurred in the distance became noisy, and Suho showed curiosity.

what?

"Shall we go?"

The fortress of Suho City is about the size of a very small town.

On the other hand, Oeseong is a large area that is about half the size of the old Uijeongbu area.

It still feels like an abandoned wasteland like the days of old fields.

The portal was created in the ruined abandoned garter, and the area around it was roughly cleaned up and a temporary tent was set up to play the role of the portal management headquarters.

Food trucks from the Guardian Guild were doing business nearby, and the tables and chairs laid out for anyone to use were full of outside mercenaries, their staff, and reporters resting for a while.

"The ground has been shaking since a while ago, isn't it somewhere near Park Soo-ho?"

I do not know. Shall I go?"

The senior frowned at the junior reporter's question.

"Arthur. I am not the only one who has been bitten by a wolf while wandering around."

Investigations were not allowed in the first place.

However, journalists cannot be quiet.

He came all the way here after disguising himself as a staff by asking a mercenary clan or guild to know.

"Uh-huh, I even hit the inside ban . Are you hiding any great secret?"

"Aren't you Nanda?"

"No, why are you so unprofessional? Aren't we reporters to reveal that?

"Yeah, reporters, try to think hard about the coverage. I came here because I was told to go to work."

The two arguing reporters were chatting while eating sweets, and when they saw a woman sitting to one side, their eyes widened.

"Wow, old man. Don't you think that girl is very pretty?

"It must be beautiful to see that it is covered tightly."

He even wore a large mask on his hat, but it was difficult to hide his beauty. A woman who seems to be beautiful just by the atmosphere.

There was an aura that made men's instincts provoke for nothing.

"Where do you belong? Looking at it, I think it must be a step somewhere."

The jumpers and clothes worn by the staff usually have the mark of the guild or clan.

The unidentified woman in a leather jacket seemed to have felt the gaze and gave off a very uneasy atmosphere.

"Something familiar ."

"Are you a celebrity?"

The senior reporter, who kept an eye on the woman while shedding the words of the junior, who was insignificant, opened his eyes.

"He, that woman."

It's definitely that person.

The most famous woman in the world for her beauty.

Yes?

"Akiko!"

Hiro's woman.

" ."

The senior reporter's voice was not small, and it reached Akiko's ears.

She, who had been showing signs of impatience before, got up quickly with a frustrated face.
