Chapter 182

Episode 182. [Isabel (2)]

Unlike other buildings, the White House did not suffer much damage.

Instead, the dried trees, grass, and remains changed color.

“Is it poison?”

Kyung-hoon touched the dead tree. There was still a tingling feeling.

Unlike other places, there were a lot of remains around the White House and inside the building.

It seemed like the monsters couldn’t eat it because of the poison.

Thanks to the passage of time, the remaining poison did not seem that dangerous, but Kyung-hoon warned the group.

However, this did not mean that there were no fights at all.

Several monsters and mummified corpses remained. It was a trace of a fight between an awakened person who withstood the poison and a monster.

However, the mummified awakened people and monsters also changed color. Even though they were awakened, they were not completely unharmed.

“Did the entrance collapse in the end?”

Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue as he looked at the stairs of the West Wing of the West Building of the White House.

I don’t know who knocked it down, but the stairs were collapsed. It seemed like it wasn’t even that much.

“I don’t know the exact location, but I can’t just blow it up, so it’s embarrassing.”

It was a pity for Kyung-hoon, who knew that the underground bunker was located under the West Wing.

While Kyung-hoon and Shane were saddened by the collapsed stairs, Isabelle was walking around the ruined building with her dog.

Fortunately, Isabel quickly recovered her strength with just a meal and a potion.

To normal children, these ruins would have been very dangerous places, but to Isabel, it was just an ordinary building next door.

Moreover, the adults who were supposed to be careful didn’t know why they should be.

“You shouldn’t eat bones that have changed color. Understand?”

bruise! bruise!

The girl and the dog walked around the building, having a normal but strange conversation.

Isabel still seemed to be dreaming.

To meet a real, live person, and even more so, there was even a talking robot and Bailey with him.

It was like a scene from The Wizard of Oz.

“But I’m not Dorothy.”

She sat down and placed her hands on the floor.

Ugh.

She released all the energy flowing in her body onto the floor.

The underground structure began to form in my mind.

“I think I found it...”

Isabel stood up. she asked Bailey.

“Can you bring Shane and him to that room over there?”

Isabelle pointed to a room at the end of the hallway.

bruise! bruise!

Bailey waggled her tail and ran to where Kyunghoon and Shane were.

Isabelle walked towards the room she pointed to.

It was a room in the southeast corner of the building. A room that is different from other rooms in a circular shape.

It was the office of the President of the United States.

A moment later, Kyunghoon and Shane also followed Bailey into the office.

“Where is Isabelle?”

bruise! bruise!

Kyung-hoon asked, but Bailey just ran around the room and barked.

Kyunghoon looked back at Shane. Shane shrugged.

“Not everyone understands me.”

The office was empty.

It was then.

Kugugoogung.

I could hear the sound of machinery moving under the old carpet on the floor.

Shane and Kyunghoon quickly cleaned up the carpet.

Cracks began to form on the floor beneath the carpet. And the crack gradually widened to become an inclined passage.

Shane and Kyunghoon looked down the aisle.

Isabel stuck her head out at the end of the aisle.

Suddenly.

When I opened the door, the musty smell became even stronger.

“Did the body smell rotten?”

Kyung-hoon looked inside the situation room and frowned.

There was no body in the situation room.

All that remained were skeletal remains and pieces of clothing.

All the remains have changed color. The remains showed signs of being poisoned.

The last traces of that day remained intact in the situation room.

From remains that looked like they died while crawling toward the door to remains scattered on chairs and desks. It seemed like everyone died at the same moment.

“It looks like there were no awakened people here.”

Inside the situation room, only remains were visible.

From what I have seen so far, the awakened person remains a mummy even after death. It was because of the mana left in the body.

“Are you saying that the American leadership in this world does not include Awakened people?”

The stairs collapsed and there was no sign of an emergency exit.

The fact that the Awakened were not included was unbecoming of America, which loves heroes.

However, considering the nature of a person who does not want to lose power, there was nothing that could not be understood.

Kyunghoon and Shane immediately started searching the situation room. It seemed to disturb the rest of the dead, but it was inevitable for Gyeong-hoon, who was hungry for information.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get much information.

All I knew was that the people who died here were the last American president and key cabinet members.

And, we were able to find a bag that was still intact behind the president’s remains and several documents with unusual information written on them.

“There’s no Federal Reserve bullion in New York.”

The gold bars in the basement of the New York Federal Reserve Bank had been moved to another location.

An underground fortress located deep underground in the Rocky Mountains.

Gold bars were moved to the fortress where the North American Air Defense and Space Command and the Northern Command command and control center were located.

In addition to gold bars, various American assets were moved to the fortress to prepare for attacks by monsters.

Various cultural assets, relics, items, and various important documents.

It appears that the U.S. government was planning to use this fortress as a kind of ark.

“But there was a major attack before the people could withdraw there.”

All the people who had to be evacuated were dead underground.

“I guess I should go.”

“I guess so. “I need to find gold bars or other items.”

Shane was also used to it by now.

“It’s not just because of the gold bars. “There is an Air Defense and Space Command there.”

Kyunghoon pointed his finger at the ceiling.

“There are still living satellites.”

From the moment he came to this world, Kyung-hoon was good at using navigation. At least the GPS satellites were alive.

“Having a Space Command means being able to control satellites. “If we connect satellites, we will definitely be able to obtain useful information.”

Even if Kyung-hoon could use space movement, the Earth was too large. Kyung-hoon couldn’t visit them all.

Since we couldn’t launch a satellite right away, we had to look at the world using a satellite.

“With Eve, you will be able to control it well.”

[It seems possible.]

Eve agreed with Kyung-hoon.

“We might be able to find out where the American weapons left there are. “It may be useless in this world, but it will be helpful in the other world.”

Of course, it may not be of much help in dealing with monsters, but monsters were not the only enemy that Kyung-hoon and EV faced.

I didn’t know that it would be much more helpful than awakeners and items when dealing with humans.

“And among those weapons is this.”

Kyunghoon placed a heavy briefcase on the desk.

A light was blinking in the corner of the bag.

Like the mana stone generator in this underground bunker, there seemed to be electronic equipment in the bag that was powered by mana stones.

Strangely, it was a bag with handcuffs hanging from the handle. It seemed like he was handcuffed and holding a bag before he died.

“Is this the bag that the presidential aide is said to be carrying?”

Isabelle and Bailey did not understand their conversation. The girl and the dog tilted their heads as they looked at the light in the bag.

“Yes, it is a nuclear bag. “It contains a device that authorizes the use of nuclear weapons.”

Shane also looked at the bag. The light on the bag kept blinking.
