Chapter 167

Episode 167 [Woof. ]

“...CQ CQ This is LA CITY. Anyone who receives the call, please respond. CQ CQ....”

Crackling....

I broadcasted for a while, but there was no answer.

[It looks like he’s not there. I think we should broadcast when the other person is communicating.]

It’s unfortunate, but Eve was right.

“By the way, when is the next transmission?”

Kyung-hoon looked embarrassed at Shane’s words.

next day.

Fortunately, communication came in again at the same time.

[....Crackling. Chick. [This is a New York City broadcast...]

Kyung-hoon and Shane, who were in the broadcast room, suddenly stood up from their seats.

The dozing puppy also rubbed his face with his front paw.

I couldn’t do anything else after receiving a call that might be a person. Kyunghoon and Shane stayed in the broadcast room for almost 24 hours.

“Shh!”

Shane put his finger in front of the camera to silence Bayley, and Kyung-hoon quickly grabbed the microphone.

Eve’s translation was not necessary. Kyung-hoon poured out the words he had been repeating all day.

“CQ CQ This is LA CITY. Broadcast now. “I’m listening! Are there any survivors in New York? CQ CQ...”

Kyung-hoon was in the middle of shouting.

The broadcast I was hearing was cut off.

Kyunghoon stopped talking. He looked at Shane.

“It’s not wrong, right?”

The robot shrugged its shoulders.

*

Click.

The girl who pressed the button looked at the radio with a surprised expression. It was impossible

to hear an answer .

Even though she played the recorded broadcast every day, she never thought she would hear an answer.

I didn’t think about it.

I was just keeping my old promise to hear my father’s voice.

[...Crackling... LA CITY. CQ CQ Please answer....]

The voice that had stopped came again.

The girl bit her nails.

What should I do in times like this? What did other people do? What did Mom and Dad do? Thoughts

raced through her mind.

She closed her eyes.

‘Even in human form, it’s a human voice. Even if it comes out, you can’t believe it.’

‘You have to doubt and doubt again.’

The voices of adults she heard a long time ago vaguely came to mind.

Her expression darkened. Memories of the past only left her depressed.

“Idiot...”

The girl sighed. There was no way to contact her anyway.

This walkie-talkie Now, only the recorded tapes could be played.

Thanks to the mana stone, it was still moving, but the radio that had been modified for broadcasting was already damaged in many places. It

was impossible to change the frequency, broadcast for a long time, or connect a microphone.

The radio had long ago been replaced with a microphone . The connection terminal was broken.

As a child, she didn’t know how to fix the modified walkie-talkie.

She pressed the button again.

Click.

The broadcast came on again.

*

[This is the New York CITY broadcast....]

The voice came from the speaker again . “Whew...”

Kyung

-hoon breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn’t hear an answer, but communication wasn’t lost.

[This is a recorded broadcast. We just picked up where we left off. It’s probably a tape recording. Areas where the tape was stretched were confirmed.]

“Still, I don’t think the machine is broadcasting automatically...”

At least someone heard Kyung-hoon’s voice and turned the broadcast on and off.

[It could be AI or a doppelganger.]

Kyung-hoon sighed at Eve’s answer.

“I’m in a situation where I won’t be able to trust anyone even if I meet them.”

Contact was suddenly lost, but the next goal was decided anyway.

Kyung-hoon looked at the group and opened his mouth.

“It’s a long way to New York. “Let’s get ready and set off.”

We haven’t solved all the secrets of this city yet and haven’t found the mana stone embedded in the spear, but survivors are the priority.

“Are you okay? There’s a lot to do in that world too. It will be difficult to stay in this world for a long time... Shall I go and visit first?”

Shane wasn’t wrong.

It was a journey across the American continent. As Shane said, Kyung-hoon had a lot of work to do in the other world to continue traveling in this world.

Kyunghoon nodded.

“We need a lot of help from Shane. First, I will go to the other world and come back. “I have what I need to travel.”

“It seems there is some way. Come back. “I’ll just tidy up this place in the meantime.”

“be careful. “There are many monsters that are stronger than expected.”

At Kyunghoon’s words, Shane patted Bailey on his shoulder.

“There is this guy. If you search the building, you might be able to get information on the window mana stone.”

After a while, Kyung-hoon moved to another dimension just in time, and Shane started touring the city with Bailey.

In Shane’s hand was his machine gun, and on his shoulder was the Samjeongsword that Kyung-hoon had left behind.

Crumbling.

Bailey puffed up in front of the new building.

Los Angeles City has become noisy.

Fortunately, there were no captain-level monsters living in the other buildings.

The mutant pets in the nest were attacked by robots and transforming dogs, and the LA City ecosystem collapsed in an instant.

***

Office of the CEO of SG Electronics, one of Korea’s largest companies and currently the world’s leading manufacturer of mana engineering.

The owner of this large and wonderful room was now the most famous scientist in the world.

The famous scientist was currently lying face down on his desk, groaning.

“It’s hard...”

The cool and glamorous girl who was seen at external events was not here. There was only a researcher who was tired and unable to sleep. The research that

Kyung-hoon and EV had entrusted to him was still piled up in a heap.

Fortunately, the company’s work was handled by EV . She was helping a lot and leaving other technologies to the company’s researchers, but she couldn’t do what Kyung-hoon asked her to do directly. Hye-rin

muttered with her chin resting on the desk.

“A portal. You brought such a ridiculous item... .. Are EVs really torturing aliens?”

Even though she received blueprints and samples, she and SG Electronics were still unable to produce a proper product.

As she was lazing around like that for a while, a male voice came from behind her.

“I guess you’re very tired.”

“Hi!”

Surprised, Hye-rin quickly turned around.

Kyung-hoon was waving his hand with an embarrassed expression.

“How did you get in here? Ah...”

Before she could finish the question, she understood right away.

The man standing in front of her was someone from a company like this. He was an awakened person who could break through security even with his eyes closed.

However, although Hye-rin was very happy to see the man, she could not face him right now.

“Wait a minute!”

Hyerin ran to the bathroom next to the room with her face covered.

Shuaaaa.

The sound of water flushing in the sink was heard.

“A bare face is fine too...”

– There was a trace of drool left behind.

After a while, Hyerin looked at Kyunghoon with a neat face.

He looked as confident as before, but his earlobes had turned red.

“What’s going on? “I don’t think you came here to see me.”

As much as she respected Kyung-hoon, Hye-rin now knew Kyung-hoon’s personality well. He was not one to visit secretly without reason.

“I need the portal test equipment I made some time ago.”

Hyerin made a puzzled expression. The test equipment that Kyung-hoon mentioned was an experiment that could hardly be called a failure.

“It was pretty small. It seemed portable.”

“That’s for testing purposes. “For official products, the pattern has to be drawn, so it’s impossible to make it that small.”

Hyerin continued.

“It’s a piece of equipment that can’t move through space. “It was created just to check whether portals can be connected to each other.”

“I know.”

“There’s no problem with giving it to you, but I don’t know what you’re trying to use it for. I don’t know if it has the ability to move through space, but it’s completely useless.”

As she said, it was a useless item without the ability to move through space.

However, the story was that if you were an awakened person capable of space movement, you could move to another portal through this equipment.

If Shane was holding this equipment, Kyung-hoon could use spatial movement to find wherever Shane was moving.

Kyung-Hoon had no intention of abandoning either world.
