Episode 226 [ Advance (1) ]

Isabel and her group’s accommodation in the basement of New York had no windows, but was made like a comfortable home.

A cozy living room with each room and an electric stove that mimics a wood-burning stove. And a restaurant.

Of course, when you leave the living room, the bleak passage to the underground base is revealed, but Eve wanted to at least create a cozy atmosphere in Isabel’s lodgings.

And the group liked this accommodation.

Isabelle and Bailey. And Shane too.

Today was a long break.

Isabelle placed Bailey on her lap and listened to the sounds coming from her.

Crackling.

The sound of burning wood could be heard from the electric stove. It was a recorded sound coming from the speakers.

Shane’s voice came along with that sound.

“..We ended up getting caught because the wolf dug up the sand. I was worried, but luckily, he was a fan of Kyung-hoon. He said he would keep it a secret. And we had a campfire in the desert until the stars came out.”

He told Isabel stories about the other side of the world.

Shane’s story was interesting.

“We didn’t have any meat, so we ate ramen and beer, but everyone had fun. They also liked the guitar I played.”

-It’s probably a lie. There’s no way he would have liked a country song that was decades old.

Eve tried to argue with his words, but that made the story even more enjoyable.

The robot was living each day really faithfully.

Even when he was left alone. He enjoyed life by fishing, and even now that he went out to help Kyung-hoon, he used the short time he had to watch the sunset in the desert. It

was a life he never knew would stop. He planned to see and feel many things until the end of his life. While

listening to Shane’s story , Isabel looked to the side.

On the sofa. There was another person who was busy living his life, sleeping like the dead with his clothes on. It was Kyung-hoon. A

thin blanket was covered over Kyung-hoon’s sleeping body. Kyung-hoon didn’t need such a blanket, but Isabelle was left behind. “I couldn’t see him.

“Was Kyung-Hoon also there?”

Shane shook his head at Isabelle’s words,

“He said he had to launch a rocket and went straight to the other side of the world after catching the monster.”

-The satellite was launched successfully. The satellite is still working hard to detect mana.

-Because I haven’t slept in nearly a week. Even a powerful awakener is bound to be tired.

After crossing over to this world with Shane, Kyung-hoon laid out the supplies and immediately fell asleep. That’s it.

He was using the cooldown time that would enable him to travel between dimensions as sleep time.

“Eve should have let me rest.”

-That’s why I came forward like this.

Isabelle looked a little depressed.

“Everyone is working hard, but I can’t help.”

-What are you talking about? I tried really hard.

Wow.

When she looked depressed, Bailey looked at her.

“No. I’m fine.”

As she was petting Bailey,

“Let’s check it out then.”

I heard Kyung-hoon’s voice from next to me.

Kyung-hoon, who was lying down, was sitting on the sofa.

“I could sleep a little longer...”

Kyung-hoon shook his head at Isabelle’s words.

“I slept enough. Special time has come back, so now it’s time to go.” “I have to go.”

Although he didn’t fall asleep very long, Kyung-hoon seemed quite refreshed.

“Then, let me get ready too.”

Shane also stood up. He headed to the warehouse to fill the subspace bag.

Isabel stood up with a nervous look on her face.

Bailey came down and took a seat next to her, and Kyung-hoon stood next to her and watched her.

Isabelle put her hands in front of her. Stretched out.

Mana flowed out and her hand headed forward.

Black lines began to be drawn in the space away from her hand. It looked as if the space was splitting into dimensions.

Isabel focused her mind toward the splitting space.

The black lines gradually gathered and blended together. The cracked dimension returned to its original shape and a black hole began to form in the center. “It’s amazing, as expected. Unlike

me, it’s closer to being forced.”

When Shane came out of the barracks, Connie, who had been lying down, jumped up.

The silver wolf clung to Shane and waggled his tail.

-How amazing. Do all dog and wolf monsters follow Shane?

Shane shook his head at Eve’s words.

“No way.”

-We will know when more samples come out.

While Eve and Shane were talking, Kyung-hoon expressed his gratitude to Rosalia.

“Thank you for taking good care of me.”

Rosalia smiled at Kyung-hoon’s words.

“It’s something that only Connie and I can do.”

Kyunghoon looked a little sorry.

Because Shane’s true identity was discovered, Rosalia and Connie were assigned the role of guarding the barracks.

Shane headed to the barracks where the EV special operations team was located with Rosalia and Connie, and Kyunghoon walked to the command barracks.

The surrounding area was full of barracks and troops.

Although it was only a short time, many troops had already gathered.

Tens of thousands of elite troops, including troops drawn from Russia, troops from the independent Manchurian state, and even Korean troops, were gathered in this field overlooking the Daxing’anling Mountains.

There were also many awakened people from the Eurasian Union.

Russian awakened, Chinese awakened and Korean awakened.

The awakened person waving his hand from a distance was also an awakened person he knew.

He was a regular ground trait awakener.

“K!”

Kyunghoon also waved his hand.

“I didn’t know that Jeong-gyu would also participate.”

“Damn, I got hit too. “I never thought that person would behave like this.”

It was clear that Jinhyuk was that person. It seemed that the president of the association had entrusted something to Jeong-gyu.

After complaining like that, I felt like I should ask Jinhyuk what was going on later when I had time.

It seemed like they were talking too loudly to each other. The man next to Gyu-gyu was frowning as he looked at Gyeong-hoon.

‘Are you an awakened person who uses a sword?’

The awakened man had a sword strapped to his waist.

In order to cooperate with soldiers, most of the awakened people in the army were using spears.

It was rare to wear a sword like that naturally.

It seemed like he was either good at swordsmanship or had a specialty in that area.

Kyung-hoon slightly bowed his head to the awakened person and hurried his steps towards the headquarters barracks.

Kyunghoon muttered softly as he walked.

“You are very good at mana exercises. “I guess he’s not an ordinary awakened person.”

Kyung-Hoon could feel the mana flowing inside the bodies of monsters and awakened people even from far away.

The mana of the awakened person with the sword that just passed by was much more complete than the level of the awakened person.

Perhaps the task that Gyu was in charge of was related to the awakened person standing next to him.

“I guess I’ll have to ask as soon as this operation is over.”

-I will also search the association’s materials.

If he had not awakened in the military, the information could have remained in the association.

As Kyung-Hoon walked away, Gyu-Gyu smiled brightly.

“You’re lucky. “I can’t believe I met Kay here.”

While serving as Eun Eun’s bodyguard, Jeong Gyu saw countless supplies, gold, and money flowing around.

Kay was Grace’s superior. It was good to have my eyes stamped in advance.

“Do you know someone?”

Youngcheol asked from next to me.

“Oh, we went hunting together a few times. “Your skills are really good.”

Yeongcheol frowned again at Jeongyu’s barely concealed words.

He looked back at the direction where Kyung-hoon had disappeared.

I could tell just by looking at him that his skills were good.

The body movements and leisureliness were something that an awakened person with poor skills would never see.

But that wasn’t why he frowned.

I don’t remember exactly, but

I’m sure I’ve seen the man who just passed by somewhere.
