Chapter 208

Episode 208 [People preparing (4)]

As always, a national security meeting was taking place in the White House basement situation room.

The appearance of the situation room was very different from two years ago.

From the several meter thick steel walls surrounding it to the dozens of pieces of surveillance equipment lining its interior.

Although great security was applied in the past, it is not at that level now.

It was all because of the CIA director escape incident that happened two years ago.

The attendees of the meeting have changed little since then.

There was a new CIA director and several cabinet members, but the president and the chief of staff to the secretary of state remained the same.

“sorry. “I haven’t caught the underground broadcast yet.”

But the atmosphere was different from before. Instead of the free atmosphere of the time, it almost looked like an army.

The FBI director was reporting to the President, sweating and standing at attention, and all the other cabinet members were watching the President.

After the incident that occurred two years ago, the United States has once again entered the era of McCarthyism.

Following the past craze for hunting down communists, there was now a craze for hunting down awakened people.

The president, who was considered decent in the past, used the swirling mania to consolidate his power, perhaps intoxicated with power, and it showed very successful results.

But even during that process, there were things that made things difficult for the president.

Awakened people who fled to South America and former CIA director. And anti-Americans in South America. Countries across the ocean that are now untouched.

Lastly, a group of awakened people called EV.

I thought I had everything taken care of in the end thanks to organizing it step by step, but suddenly it was an underground broadcast.

It couldn’t have been anything but a headache for the president.

“You’d better catch it quickly. “If you want to keep that position.”

“Okay, okay!”

The President looked at the next person.

Next was the Minister of Defense. He reported with a dark look on his face.

“Preparations for the liberation of Mexico are almost complete. If only Mexico is liberated, we can deploy troops now.”

The President shook his head at the Minister of Defense’s words.

“I didn’t take the time to stop in Mexico. We must save all South Americans suffering from monsters and suffering from civil war. “All cabinet members should keep this in mind.”

The President gave instructions with a stern expression.

The Minister of Defense sighed inwardly.

I tried speaking to stop the car from racing without brakes, but it was no use.

It wasn’t like this until a year ago. The change in the president was difficult to handle.

“All right. “I will do my best to prepare.”

The Minister of Defense did not take further action. He did not want to be like his former defense secretary.

But he wasn’t the only one who felt such rejection.

The man who became the director of the CIA two years ago stepped forward even before the president spoke.

“We have spoken with the Colombian government forces in Bolivia and with the rebels in the rest of the country. “Once the operation begins, there will be a response from within.”

He reported triumphantly to the president.

But the president’s expression did not change. I just stroked the ring on my finger.

The conference room became quiet. After a while, the president spoke.

“Have you found the island where EVs are located?”

The director’s face hardened at the president’s words.

“I’m sorry. Even after checking satellites and various information, we could not find the island. “It appears that the information is incorrect or has already been moved elsewhere.”

The President nodded and looked at him intently.

“I got good information instead. We have located the EV enforcer, called the Helmet Man.”

The president’s eyes narrowed at the urgent chatter.

“You’re not talking about East Asia, are you?”

He already knew that much information. But that wasn’t enough to do anything in today’s world.

“We cross-checked the coordinates calculated from the discovered location and information obtained from former CIA traitors captured in South America. “Over 90% accuracy was guaranteed by a supercomputer.”

The director opened his mouth with a confident expression.

“From a pharmaceutical company south of Seoul, Korea.”

The president’s eyes began to glow ominously.

He praised me for the first time today.

“You did really well.”

“thank you.”

However, I was surprised by the president’s next words.

“Put off all other operations. “Catch him before the operation begins.”

Other people also looked embarrassed.

The Minister of National Defense opened his mouth cautiously.

“Under the current situation, it is impossible to send troops to Asia, especially Korea.”

Sea routes were blocked, and land routes were blocked by Russia and North Korea.

“We have to send special forces, but there is no way they will not find out that we sent them.”

The President smiled at the Minister of Defense’s words,

“We have finally found the location of the key enforcer of EVs who has been harassing us. We must make an example so that we will not be disturbed by EVs during operations.”

Many cabinet members nodded at the president’s words. Realism was of no use. The Minister of Defense took a step back. “It’s okay if you get

caught. If you can’t catch him, kill everyone associated with that Helmet Man. Or even blow up the entire area.” “It’s okay.”

The President seemed to want to go to war if possible.

The madness that had engulfed America was filling the conference room.

“I refuse! Please contact the embassy!”

But the man was stubborn.

“I have immunity. I can’t trust your country. If you won’t let me in, I’ll go back.”

He turned around with an angry look on his face.

But he had already decided to proceed according to FM.

Whoosh!

Sirens blared and warning lights flashed.

Beep!

Outside the window, I saw airport security guards fully armed, running towards me.

“ Everyone, please remain seated. We will proceed according to quarantine regulations. Please make sure you don’t get misunderstood by making unnecessary moves.”

The official shouted loudly.

The Egyptian man looked left and right with a stern expression.

As he looked around, he made eye contact with Jin Xiawei.

He cocked his head left and right.

Jin Xiawei . He opened his mouth:

“It’s the enemy! Take out your weapons!”

The security guards reflexively pulled out pistols from their arms.

Gaaaaa!

Passengers who were watching the situation fell to the floor and screamed.

And the man also screamed.

Kiiiiiiiack!

The man threw his body at Jin Xiawei.

Human. It wasn’t his leaping power. It was the leaping power of an awakened man or better than an awakened man.

He jumped over the screening table and flew straight to where Jin Xiawei and his group were.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bodyguards fired their pistols at the flying man.

Ting! Ting! Thing! Thump!

Most of the bullets bounced off, and only a few got stuck in the man’s body.

The shield surrounding the man deflected the bullets.

Blood spattered, but the man did not stop. Long fingernails grew on the man’s hands. The man’s fingernails grew long. His eyes glowed red.

“Avoid! He is an Awakened One!”

The bodyguards shouted, but Jin Xiawei instead stepped forward.

In her hand, she held a long spear that she had pulled out before she knew it.

“It won’t be an awakened person.”

She threw the potion in her other hand towards the flying man and extended the spear forward.

Whoosh.

It was fast and had a great posture.

Boom!

The potion bottle hit the shield and shattered, and the liquid in the potion bottle covered the shield. And then. The spear followed him.

Kek!

The shield broke through and the spear was lodged in the man’s neck.

Her long fingernails flicked in front of her face, but unfortunately, the nails could not grow any further.

Jin Xiawei tilted her head as she looked at the man with the spear stuck in his neck.

“I don’t think it’s the same as not being an awakened person?”

The face of the man with the spear stuck in his neck was changing strangely.

But Jin Xiawei also seemed to be very relieved.

The man, whom he thought was dead, grabbed the spear with both hands and pulled the pole.

The spear pierced his neck and the man was shot forward.

Jin Xiawei ‘s eyes widened.

Kwaaaang!

And the ceiling collapsed.

A human figure fell between the falling tiles.

As he fell, he stepped on the man’s head along with the spear.

Kwajik!

The spear broke and the man’s head was smashed.

“Oh my god, Kyung-hoon . “You’re my brother, right?”

He gaped at the man who had fallen out of favor.

Jin Xiawei also looked dumbfounded.

But Kyung-hoon was in no condition to pay attention to their gazes.

He looked at the corpse he was stepping on with a serious face.

“It’s a doppelganger, right?”

-I’m sure.

Kyung-hoon frowned at Eve’s answer.

“Has even the doppelganger already appeared?...But how were you able to get here without being detected?”

If surveillance had not been strengthened, it was clear that this place would have been breached as well.

The corpses of monsters that had shed their human form were scattered on the floor of the airport.
