I Picked a Mobile From Another World
Chapter 168

Episode 168 [Cowboy]

Except for LA City, Los Angeles was almost completely empty, but some buildings still remained on the port side.

Although the buildings were broken anyway, they were perfect for avoiding the attention of monsters wandering the wasteland.

There was a car that looked completely out of place parked next to the otherwise intact building.

Unlike other rusted and broken cars, this off-road four-wheel drive SUV looks brand new. It was the latest model of jeep that does not exist in this world.

There was no one visible inside the car. It seemed like everyone had entered the building.

Inside the building, a robot and a drone were talking, and a dog was running next to them.

“hmm. Is this the right way to do it?”

[yes. There doesn’t seem to be a problem.]

As Shane asked, Eve moved the drone to check the equipment on the floor.

There was a machine placed in the center of the building.

It was a small machine. A machine that looked like a watermelon on a trivet was blinking.

This machine was the portal test machine brought by Kyung-hoon.

Equipment for confirming coordinates without any spatial movement ability.

Now they had come to a port far from the City to test this equipment.

bruise! bruise!

While Shane and Eve were checking the machines, Bailey was excitedly running around the building.

It was Bailey’s first time outside the city.

This outing was a very exciting experience for Bailey, who had been staying in the City waiting for his owner.

Buuuuung.

[Please step away from the equipment. Test begins.]

The drone retreated to the far wall and Shane called out to Bailey.

“Come on.”

bruise! bruise!

Bailey, who was running around the equipment, ran up to Shane.

Shane also held Bayley against the wall.

And Eve started counting down.

[3 2 1. Move….]

Eve’s voice coming from the drone speaker suddenly cut off.

Woe!

The next moment, the space next to the machine began to distort.

Mana gathered and a small hole opened in the space. The hole got bigger and bigger. It was a hole that sparkled silver.

bruise!

Bailey barked at the sight of the hole, and Shane watched in a daze as the hole was created.

It was a sight I had seen several times, and I had been inside it myself, but it was an amazing sight every time I saw it.

Every time he saw a scene like this, Shane was thankful for his artificial intelligence. As a robot, he knew best how happy it was to feel admiration and happiness.

While the dog and the robot watched, the silver hole became a large hole with a diameter of 2m.

And Kyung-hoon popped out from the hole created in the air.

Downward…

boom!

Kyung-hoon jumped out of the life raft and immediately fell to the floor.

Dust rose up.

The hole disappeared as soon as Kyung-hoon popped out, and Kyung-hoon frowned and stood up.

“We had to make this door the other way around.”

As Kyung-hoon muttered while shaking off the dust, Eve opened her mouth.

[The test had to be done in a safer place. If you do it wrong, you could end up buried in the ground.]

“Then the door itself wouldn’t have been made. And it would be troublesome if you were to test something in the other world and end up in the middle of a military base just because you thought there was a safe place like here.”

As the dust settled, Shane came over.

“Did it go well?”

Gyeonghoon grinned at Shane’s question.

“It wasn’t difficult because all you had to do was move along the space connecting line between the four machines. The direction of making the door was a problem, but it’ll be okay from next time.”

Although there were some mistakes, the test was successful.

Kyung-hoon is now able to move through space wherever this machine is located.

“If I take this machine with me, I can come over there.”

“I plan to install the machine on the other side of the Jamsil base. You won’t be able to come over from the other world all at once, but now you won’t have to be tied down to one place because of me.”

Everyone was satisfied with Kyung-hoon’s words, but the dog glared at Kyung-hoon, who jumped out of the hole. The

human walking around with his robot friend was strange.

It had a strange smell that I had never smelled on its body, and it disappeared and then reappeared. From the book I read with its owner. It looked like a wizard coming out.

[It seems that the owner has a hard time getting close to Bailey.]

There was a faint hint of laughter in Eve’s voice as she spoke sadly.

As she put the equipment back into the car, Shane asked,

“What should we call this equipment? ”

[This is a technology tester for checking portal connections.]

Shane shook his head at Eve’s words,

“It’s too long. They said it was for checking coordinates, so let’s call it a pointer.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

The new equipment was named ‘Pointer.’

While the group was loading the equipment, the dog climbed into the back seat of the car,

and a robot sat in the driver’s seat.

This car was brought from the other world for Shane. He was the one driving it. Of course it was.

“By the way, I was surprised that you could even bring a car like this.”

Shane patted the steering wheel.

“I was only able to get to S-class. “I wanted to bring a bigger car, but this was my limit.”

Although he had become much stronger than when he was finally able to bring a motorcycle, Kyung-hoon was only disappointed.

As the drone landed on the roof and Kyung-hoon got on, Shane played with the start button.

Ugh.

The car started moving silently. This car was also powered by mana stones.

I removed the battery from an off-road electric vehicle that I had hastily purchased and installed a newly developed mana stone generator.

It was an illegal modification and used a small mana stone generator that was not on the market, but no one knew about it except the SG electronics engineers in charge of the modification.

“Then, now that the test is over, shall we return to the City and prepare for departure?”

“Yes.”

Kyung-hoon nodded and

wow!

The dog barked excitedly

. It seemed like Bailey didn’t mind leaving the house either. The group, who had been worried that the dog would follow them, was finally able to relax.

The car left the building and headed toward LA City.

The electric car ran silently across the field.

Monsters were seen wandering around the ruins in the distance, but perhaps because of the distance, no monsters were seen paying attention to the car moving silently.

Shane, who was driving the car, asked Kyung-hoon.

“But are you okay?” “I couldn’t replace the mana stone…”

While Kyung-hoon was traveling back and forth between the other worlds, Shane and Bailey turned LA City upside down.

But they couldn’t replace any information about the mana stone.

Kyung-hoon shook his head at Shane’s words . “I can’t help it

. I’ve set the spatial coordinates, so all I can do is stop by occasionally and look for them.”

However, Kyung-hoon’s face as he spoke was full of regret.

If he could obtain a mana stone that could remove the shield, non-awakened people could participate in the fight against the monster.

Now that the gap between awakened people and ordinary people is increasing, there is no way to remove the shield. It was clear that the weapon would not only improve fighting efficiency but also help narrow the gap between awakened people and ordinary people.

After Kyung-hoon’s answer, the inside of the car became quiet.

The car was driven by an electric motor, so there was no sound of the engine. The sound of the wheels scraping the ground. All I could hear was

a rumble.

At some point, the sound of the wheels got louder. Then the car started

to tremble

. Shane tilted his head.

“Is there something wrong with the engine?”

[That can’t be possible. This is the car I did the final check on. There’s no way a problem could have arisen so quickly.]

Eve immediately refuted this.

Since she was the one who commanded and monitored the modification work remotely, she couldn’t easily accept the statement that the car was strange.

Robot While the and AI were arguing, Kyung-hoon looked out the window.

A dust cloud was rising from the horizon.

“Eve! Dust cloud at 3 o’clock! Check it out!”

[I understand!]

Buuuuuung.

The drone on the roof flew into the sky.

Sigh.

Shane stopped the car, but the vibration continued.

“Earthquake?”

“No, it’s not an earthquake.”

The dust cloud was getting closer and closer.

The drone soared upward and approached the dust cloud.

[Confirmed. It’s a medium-sized monster! Over a thousand individuals! I can’t get an exact number because of the dust!]

Dududududududududududu!

Now, only the vibration is there. Not only that, but there was a sound. It was the sound of thousands of footsteps at the same time.

The dust cloud seemed to be getting bigger. A swarm of monsters were coming this way.

Clap! Buuuuung!

Shane immediately started the car and stepped on the accelerator.

More than a thousand monsters. This was a number that even they could not handle.

The car jumped out like a bullet.

The performance of the electric motor, which immediately reached its maximum torque, was fully demonstrated.

The monsters noticed the car due to the sudden speed, but the monsters had no time to pay attention to the car.

A cloud of dust and the sound of footsteps approaching from afar. Monsters also started running after the car.

But the monsters here were not monsters with acceleration characteristics. The monsters that followed the car gradually fell back.

Now, the dust cloud was also visible in Kyung-hoon’s eyes. I saw monsters.

They resembled cows. They were huge, with curved horns, and yellow fur all over their upper bodies and heads.

Bus-sized monsters that resembled buffalo were running in a group.

“Is it a herd of buffaloes?”

Shane muttered as he looked in the rearview mirror.

From what he said, it looked very similar to the buffalo that lives in America. The only difference was the size and weight. The

monsters that were behind got closer and closer to the group of monsters that resembled buffalo.

Kwaaaaang. !

The monsters screamed and kicked their feet as hard as they could, but unlike the car Kyung-hoon was riding in, they only got closer and closer. Wow

!

The last monster was swept away by a herd of buffalo monsters. Thanks to the shield, the monster did not die right away. It was like a toy. It bounced over the swarm. Thump! Thump!

The monster that had been crushed and bounced disappeared into the swarm of monsters at some point.

Whoop!

And blood spray soared among the swarm of monsters.

Kyung-hoon frowned. It wasn’t a shield that could easily disappear like that.

Other monsters. The group of monsters got closer and closer.

And in the next moment, Gyeong-hoon realized what had happened a moment ago.

Among the group of monsters, water buffalo monsters with much longer horns than the other monsters had jumped out.

Buuuuuung.

Of the monsters . The horns began to glow green.

Buuuuu!

And the water buffalo monsters with green horns ran forward.

Boom!

The water buffalo monsters with green horns hit the fleeing monsters.

A shield rose from the bodies of the fleeing monsters.

And

bam! !

All the defenses disappeared in vain.

Wow!

The horns pierced their bodies. The monsters screamed and rolled around.

The next moment, the monsters that were rolling around were buried in a swarm of monsters. Blood broke out again.

“What I found. Isn’t it the same?”

Shane said to Gyeonghoon. Shane seemed very happy. Gyeonghoon

also nodded.

He found a monster with the ability to destroy the shield of the mana stone attached to the spear.

[But how do we hunt such a large group of monsters? ?]

Shane answered Eve’s question,

“Even if it’s a monster, it’s still herd of cattle, right?”

Whoop!

Bailey stuck her head out between the seats. There was a cowboy hat in the dog’s mouth.

The hat was a gift prepared by Kyung-hoon. I was planning to give it to him when he left, but it seemed like Bailey couldn’t resist and opened the box.

Shane took the hat and placed it on his head.

Shane said.

“Leave the cattle to the cowboys.”

The robot turned the steering wheel.

Sigh.

The car screamed and changed direction.
