Episode 140 [End of the Earth. The Beginning of the Sea (3) ]

The robot was dirty.

The cape that Kyung-hoon handed over was even more worn than before, and the robot’s body was a mess of scratches and soot.

But the robot looked better than before.

“You came here riding something ridiculous.”

Shane muttered as he looked at the sea monsters that filled the beach.

Kyunghoon also shook his head.

It was ridiculous even for him to think about it. To come back alive from the belly of such a huge monster.

Shane suddenly jumped on the sea monster’s corpse and pounded it here and there.

He walked towards the monster’s stomach and stuck his hand into the corpse.

Deep.

My hand was stuck deeply.

The sound of the drill rotating was heard, and a moment later the sound of wire winding was heard.

Drurr.

Shane pulled his hand away. The hand he pulled out was holding a large mana stone.

Shane said while throwing a mana stone to Kyung-hoon.

“It looks like a captain, but how did you catch it in the sea?”

Eve was the first to respond to Shane’s words.

[I used the method Shane taught me. [I overcharged the Samjeonggeom using the mana from the mana stone on my phone.]

Her voice was the same as before, but the robot and Gyeonghoon could feel that she was proud.

Kyung-hoon, who received the mana stone, suddenly remembered the items in his backpack.

He took out a machine gun from his backpack.

It was an M249 machine gun.

A mana stone attached to the handle and a body full of scars. It was a machine gun that Shane had thrown away and the monster had cut off the barrel of.

The gun came back repaired.

The barrel of the gun was replaced with a new one, and the damaged body was polished to a shine.

“The only thing I found in the collapsed garden was that gun. “I managed to restore it, so it will be useful.”

-I think the expression “good enough” is wrong. Who was it that diligently cleaned the gun every night?…

But Eve, who was teasing Kyung-hoon, also did her best to restore the pattern engraved on the inside of the gun barrel.

As he kept coming up with new patterns to replace the right one, Omar’s skills went up a notch.

The robot grabbed the handle of the gun.

Ugh.

The mana stone began to emit a soft light.

“Good.”

He said, looking at the gun.

Although it was just a single word, Kyung-hoon and Eve were satisfied.

Shane, who was looking around at the gun, suddenly put his hand in the pocket tied to his waist.

He took out a heavy-looking golden stick from his pocket and threw it to Kyung-hoon.

chin.

It was heavier than it looked. And it wasn’t a gold bar, it was a gold bar.

A 12.5 kg gold bar with a serial number of 99.9 percent purity.

“I found it in this city. “I didn’t need it, but I brought it because I thought you might need it.”

Meanwhile, the price of gold has risen a lot. If it weighed this much, it would have been close to 1 billion.

It was something that would have made ordinary people roll their eyes.

However, Kyung-hoon had quite a lot of gold bars like this and was still making them in the Congo.

Still, this was more than enough to cover the repair costs of the gun. Kyung-hoon happily accepted the gold bar.

“Thank you. “Is there anything else like this?”

What Kyung-hoon said as a joke received an unexpected answer.

“That gold bar was brought as a sample. “There was a mountain of gold bars piled up in the basement of the ruined bank.”

Kyung-hoon’s mouth widened at the robot’s words.

He quickly looked at the gold bars. It

was a 400 troy ounce (12.5 kg) international standard gold bar with no indication of the manufacturer or distributor. As far as

he knew. These gold bars were used for only one purpose.

– It seems that the gold bars held by the Bank of Korea are correct.

At Eve’s words, a spark flew out of Kyung-hoon’s eyes.

“Where is it? Let’s go right away!”

As soon as Kyunghoon finished speaking, Shane took the lead. It seemed like he had planned to take me with him from the beginning.

“Follow me.”

Shane seemed satisfied with the repaired gun.

He fired mana bullets at the monsters he occasionally saw.

“It’s coming again.”

“Have you finished tidying up?”

Shane shook the camera at Kyung-hoon’s words.

“I only went around the outskirts where there were no nests. I just stopped them from attacking there. Now that I look at it, I think they gave it a cursory look because it wasn’t a living thing.”

Tuta tata.

He said, spraying bullets toward the alley.

Kuehhh!

The monsters that were hiding in the dark of the alley, looking for an opportunity, were swept away by the flying bullets.

It took two hours to move along the coast. The two arrived in front of the ruined building.

The letters [Bank of Korea] remained above the entrance.

This destroyed building was the Busan headquarters of the Bank of Korea.

“It looks like the building collapsed and a passage opened into the basement. “I was looking for a monster and I found it.”

He flipped the iron plate hanging next to the building wall to the side. There was a small hole under the iron plate.

The robot went down first, and Kyung-hoon followed.

Gyeong-hoon went down to the basement through a side road and was mesmerized by the sight before him.

104 tons. The underground safe was filled with 8,300 gold bars weighing 12.5 kg.

Gold bars originally stored in England and transported to Korea after the cataclysm.

All of the gold bars that the Bank of Korea held as reserve assets were gathered here.

-In the end, the transportation of gold bars ended here.

Kyung-hoon came to his senses when he heard Eve’s voice.

If the monsters had pushed all the way to Busan, it was clear that all existing currency would have been useless.

The only thing that can be used is real currency, such as gold.

The presence of gold bars here meant that all of the country’s assets were left here.

“Does the proper Korean government end here?”

No, I didn’t even know if I had escaped from here. The country of Korea could have been the last to destroy Busan.

While I was lost in those thoughts, Shane opened his mouth.

“I guess this will be helpful, right?”

It wasn’t much of a help. If all the gold bars were intact, it would be worth close to 8 trillion at today’s prices.

Kyung-hoon’s assets were incomparable, and even compared to EV’s assets, it was not a small amount of money.

The problem was that there were too many of them.

104 tons. Even with the enhanced characteristics, it took 00 round trips to transport everything.

“I’m full.”

Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue as a thought came to his mind.

Before, he was happy with even a small gold ingot.

But now, even after seeing the mountain of gold bars, I was worried about the number of round trips.

He shook off his worries and decided what to do first.

“I need to register the coordinates.”

It wasn’t something to finish in one go. Therefore, the coordinates of this place had to be registered through dimensional movement first.

Then he looked at Shane.

“Let’s go together.”

Those words were full of sincerity.

It was the same thing as before. There was nothing to catch this time.

But the camera on his head just stared at him.

After a while, the robot opened its mouth.

“Would I be able to walk down the street in broad daylight in that world?”

It was an unexpected question. Kyung-hoon couldn’t answer his words right away.

The robot didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to the answer. He kept asking questions.

“Is there anyone who will tolerate my informal language?”

“Isn’t there anyone who wants to catch me and take me apart?”

“How many people will see me as their equal?”

Kyung-hoon couldn’t replace the words to continue answering the robot’s questions.

The robot asked one last painful question.

“Does anyone else know about Eve other than you?”

Kyunghoon shook his head.

No one knew her identity. And I couldn’t tell you.

There was no way to describe her without describing her own characteristics.

It was the same with Shane. There was no way to explain it.

“I am free for the first time. “I still want to enjoy this freedom.”

Kyung-hoon could only nod his head at the robot’s words.

“Go ahead. “I’ll wait here.”

The robot leaned against the wall and looked at Kyung-hoon.

Persuasion was difficult. Kyung-hoon silently put the gold bars into his backpack.

Thanks to the equipment in my backpack, I was only able to carry about 500kg, but it wasn’t a small amount.

“It won’t take long.”

“The sun has set anyway, so I’ll just sleep and come back in the morning.”

Kyung-hoon sighed at the robot’s words.

It was really disappointing.

He wanted to show the robot many things.

I wanted to show you a beautiful night view.

I wanted to show a peaceful world.

I wanted to show a city that is still in good condition.

And I wanted to boast about what I had accomplished.

But it was just as Shane said. I couldn’t take him now. The world over there couldn’t accept Shane yet.

Kyunghoon spread his hands toward the floor.

“Creating a dimensional corridor.”

A black hole appeared swirling across the floor of the vault.

The robot also stared into the black hole.

Kyung-hoon waved at the robot and jumped into the hole.

At the sight of Kyung-Hoon, he disappeared into a black hole, and the hole turned into black smoke, scattering in all directions.

“Is this a portal? “It’s fascinating.”

The robot continued speaking as he watched the smoke disperse.

“You did well. “It should be a help, not a burden.”

From what Kyung-hoon and Eve said, Kyung-hoon in the other world didn’t really need their help.

There was money and a huge organization that could sway the country, and there were people who followed and countries that cooperated.

Even if an old robot was added, there was no way it would be of much help.

Moreover, the effort to conceal his presence was bound to become a burden.

I wanted to follow along, but I couldn’t right now.

He too wanted to see a peaceful world, but it wasn’t the time yet.

*

Phew!

Kyung-hoon jumped out of the black hole.

-Are you okay?

Eve asked Kyung-hoon, who was getting up.

“I was short-thinking.”

-Shane is too stubborn.

Eve continued speaking.

-I am satisfied now. This is different from what a stubborn robot says.

Kyung-hoon nodded at Eve’s words. The two had been together for a long time. He could tell whether Eve’s words were sincere or not.

“Now that I think about it, there was something I didn’t tell you, Eve.”

-What is it?

“But I don’t plan on doing this because it seems like it could lead to bad results.”

-What do you mean?

Eve kept asking, but Kyung-hoon didn’t answer.

Instead, he quietly repeated the words thank you to himself.

Kyung-hoon poured the gold bars he had brought on the floor. The gold bars piled up in the room were distracting to my eyes.

But it wasn’t just gold bars that dazzled the eye.

Precious metals brought from department stores in the other world and cultural assets brought from Seoul Airport were showing off to each other.

However, other people could not see the precious metals and cultural assets here.

The items in this warehouse were the same items that existed in this world. Since both are genuine, the items in this warehouse could not go out into the world.

It was similar to what Shane said.

Kyung-hoon opened the door to the warehouse and went out. When Kyung-hoon went out, the door was locked.

It was a door that could be opened from the inside even when locked, in line with Kyung-hoon’s characteristics.

After going out the door and climbing the stairs, we found the main building of the pharmaceutical company.

It was bright outside the window.

It was the same dark night in this world, but the surrounding area was now brightly lit in red and construction was underway.

It was an expansion project for a pharmaceutical company. Large buildings were going up.

The small pharmaceutical company that Kyung-hoon bought was in the process of being transformed into a huge potion company.

*

The next day, Kyung-hoon and Shane were on a high building watching Sajik Baseball Stadium through a telescope.

“That’s the monster’s nest.”

“Is it the same reason as in Daejeon?”

“I don’t know because I didn’t see it. All I know is that the giant monster isn’t moving from that nest.”

Thanks to this, Shane had no choice but to wander around the sea side.

It was not accurate information. There was no guarantee that there would be portal equipment in that baseball stadium.

But that alone helped a lot. At least we found a place to search.

Kyung-hoon started taking out weapons and equipment from his backpack.
