Chapter 135

Episode 135 [ Cataclysm (1) ]

The cataclysm had begun, but the world was not yet feeling it properly.

Only a few awakened people and government leaders who had been warned by EV realized it.

People who were not yet aware of the crisis showed interest in the mysterious phenomenon that followed the two-day street fighting in Pyongyang.

Articles and commentary poured out, and neighboring countries watched North Korea with heightened attention.

A few days later, the announcement everyone wanted began.

An important statement began to be announced on Chosun Central Broadcasting.

First, an announcer came out and announced the leader’s death in a mournful tone.

Then, a captain with four stars came out and gave a detailed presentation.

He was Chief Lee Seong-hyeok of the Awakened Guard, who had been a lieutenant general not long ago.

[...Comrade the great leader was enshrined in the Kumsusan Memorial Palace.

The monster that attacked the leader’s comrades and destroyed Pyongyang was able to be annihilated through the combined efforts of Joseon’s awakened people and the soldiers of the People’s Army.] It seemed that everything that

happened that day was decided to be the work of a mutant monster.

Captain Lee Seong-hyuk continued speaking.

It was a message for everyone to focus on their jobs with peace of mind and to carry on the legacy of the deceased leader.

There was no special story. It seemed like all the important stories were over.

People who watched the announcement were greatly shocked by the sudden accident.

But that wasn’t the end of the announcement.

The general raised his voice again.

[Today, the People’s Army soldiers and awakened people decided to wipe out the mutant monster that killed their leader comrade. All People’s Army units decided to head north, where the monsters were concentrated.]

People watching the announcement were confused. It was a very difficult story to accept.

However, the presentation ended with Jang talking about the list of committee members.

[A funeral committee will be formed with 212 people, including Commander Ri Seong-hyuk of the Guards Command, and a funeral ceremony will be held in Pyongyang.] After hearing the

funeral committee list, everyone looked intently at the screen.

The first person on Chang’s committee list always became the leader of the next regime.

It was now clear that North Korea’s new leader would be the middle-aged man on the screen.

While the presentation was going on, Dahee was surrounded by older men in the lobby of the broadcasting station.

“I would like you to stay. “It is everyone’s wish.”

The old man pleaded with her as a representative. A star was twinkling on his shoulder.

These were all people who knew of Dahee’s miracle. They could not forget the feelings of that day.

To them, Dahee was a fairy and an angel given by God.

“Hey...”

Dahee just rolled her eyes with a red face.

Although she overcame the trauma and showed signs of miracles, she was still a young girl. I couldn’t get used to this situation.

She looked for a way to escape. But I couldn’t see such a path anywhere.

There was no one in sight to help.

People who didn’t know her recognized the men’s positions and hurriedly left the place.

Anyone who recognized her bowed their head sincerely and walked away.

Her face gradually became more tearful.

It was then.

“You were here.”

Kyung-hoon’s voice came from the hallway on the other side. He was wearing sunglasses as always.

Next to him, Captain Lee Seong-hyuk, who had finished his presentation, was walking along.

People who saw the two people lowered their heads in disbelief.

Everyone knew who would lead this country from now on.

However, the people who surrounded Dahee quickly fled in fear.

They knew Kyung-hoon just like they knew Da-hee.

On that day, the leaders at the President’s Palace saw Kyung-Hoon drop combat helicopters, ignore bullets, and knock down the awakened people with fallen leaves.

After that, high-ranking party officials stopped treating Kyung-hoon as a human being, in the opposite sense of Da-hee.

Within the party, just as Dahee was called an angel, an apostle of God, Gyeonghoon was called by names such as the devil, the god of destruction.

“I have to go now.”

“Yes!”

Dahee happily answered Kyung-hoon’s words. It was nice to be recognized by people, but she wanted to go home even more.

“It’s a shame.”

It’s time to pay attention.

“Chatting is prohibited through important communications. “Everyone, come to your senses.”

-All right.

-yes!

“..”

As soon as he said that, the communication went silent.

Normally, the company commander would just let things go, but in times like this, everyone knew that it would be better to listen.

But there was a subordinate who still wouldn’t stop talking.

-It seems strange.

The company commander frowned at the unexpected remark.

“What do you mean!”

Even though the question was mixed with shouting, the subordinate continued talking.

-A tank unit is approaching from the north.

It was ridiculous. His company was the northernmost unit.

Moreover, this area was not even Chinese territory.

But he was able to confirm it too.

Kugugugugugung.

Hundreds of tanks were coming down south, dragging dust with them.

Clearly, the land on which that tank was running was Russian territory.

-It’s the Russian army!

The surprised voice of a subordinate was heard through the communication.

-It’s true. Are they also trying to threaten North Korea?

-Aren’t you trying to intervene and play a part?

A leisurely conversation continued among his subordinates, but he could not think with them.

The Russian military formation was not facing towards North Korea.

-shit! All gun barrels are pointing towards us!

-The formation is unfolding. It’s an attack formation!

Urgent communications continued to come in. The signalman on the tank the company commander was riding was also frantically trying to contact the brigade headquarters.

I’m sorry.

Fortunately, the Russian tanks stopped right before the border.

But their gun barrels continued to point towards China.

Just like the Chinese military did to North Korea. The Russian military also began threatening China in the same way.

-What the hell is going on?

The voice of a company member heard on the communication line was Company Commander Li Shiqian’s thoughts.

*

At that moment, the Russian president’s interview was beginning in the Kremlin.

He now seemed more like a mature politician than a businessman.

However, this was not a position for a politician.

He began his presentation without any introduction.

“Russia fully supports the new North Korean government in its decision to stop the mutant monsters.”

Reporters watching the announcement frantically tapped their keyboards as the president spoke strongly from the start.

“The Russian Army has moved its eastern military district south to the border between North Korea and China in response to the North Korean army’s movements, and the Air Force and Navy are also on standby.”

However, after hearing the words that followed, the reporters had no choice but to stop typing and look blankly at the president.

This wasn’t even a problem about the war between North Korea and China. A confrontation between Russia and China. It was a sound that could not have been heard, even if it was a joke.

“The Russian military will also keep pace with the North Korean military. Any country that interferes with North Korea’s operations is considered to be attacking Russia. “I will fight back with all my might.”

All the reporters’ hopes for something disappeared at the president’s last words.

The president was sincere. Here he showed everyone that he was the ruler of the world’s second largest military power.

***

The world watched the three countries with bewildered eyes, and the Chinese government protested to the Russian government with a slapped expression.

However, the Russian government ignored the Chinese government’s protests.

The confrontation between the three countries that began like that did not last long.

-Come back right away! Monsters are attacking the city! Return to full force!

The party’s instructions were given to the entire northern region that had gathered at the border with North Korea.

Finally, numerous mutant monsters awakened by the mana explosion began to move.

The true cataclysm began now.
