I Picked a Mobile From Another World
Chapter 174

Episode 174 [ Mutant (1) ]

Volcanic ash covered the sky.

Ash covered the sky like a cloud and fell like snow on the city and fields.

And lava came rushing in.

People ran out into the streets.

bread! Bang bang! bread!

The road was full of cars trying to run away.

Sigh. bang!

Accidents continued endlessly due to cars trying to get away first. The road quickly turned into a parking lot.

“You can’t go by car!”

“get off! “You have to walk!”

People in fear abandoned their cars and began running away.

With my back turned to Mt. Fuji, which was spewing fire and smoke, I frantically moved my feet to escape the lava that was chasing me.

*

The moment the volcano erupted,

an earthquake exceeding magnitude 5 occurred in Tokyo.

Earthquake warning broadcasts were issued throughout Japan, and an emergency team was gathered at the Tokyo residence.

The purpose was to check the damage caused by the earthquake and prepare countermeasures.

But they could tell right away that the earthquake was not the problem.

Gray clouds were spreading over the horizon.

An emergency disaster response headquarters was immediately established in the Prime Minister’s Office.

bang!

The Prime Minister came rushing in.

It was a task force that was not yet properly prepared, but the Prime Minister did not pay any attention.

“What on earth happened!”

The people in the room looked at each other. Eventually, the Deputy Chief of the Fire Department stepped forward.

“Mt. Fuji erupted two hours ago.”

“I know that! Everyone in Tokyo knows it, and everyone in Japan knows it! “The whole world knows!”

We hadn’t even finished talking yet, but the Prime Minister got angry.

He was a prime minister with a bad temper from the beginning. The Deputy Chief of the Fire Department continued speaking.

“The volcanic ash is spreading and lava is pouring down and sweeping the surrounding area.”

He confirmed the report that had just come in.

“Mt. Fuji is covered with lava, and Fujinomiya, Susono, Mashima, Numazu, Fuji, Fujiyoshida, and Gotembashi, which are close to Mt. Fuji, are currently being swept away by lava.”

The Prime Minister turned pale at the deputy director’s report.

All were cities with more than tens of thousands of people, and some cities with more than 100,000 were included.

It was only two hours. I wonder how many people ran away…

“It’s ridiculous, it’s only been 2 hours…”

“That’s right. I don’t understand the speed of the lava and the amount of lava doesn’t make sense. “It already slowed down a while ago and I had to stop.”

It didn’t make sense that Mt. Fuji suddenly erupted before that, but it wasn’t a situation to even discuss that.

“Fortunately, the western side is blocked by a mountain range, so the lava is not flowing any further, but the lava continues to flow in on the other side.”

The Prime Minister quickly checked the Japanese evangelism spread out on the table.

If it’s the other way around, it’s east. Fortunately, the southeastern part was connected to the sea.

But the northeast was different.

After passing Gotemba City, which is said to be currently being swept away by lava, there was Odawara City with a population of 200,000, and

beyond that was the Tokyo metropolitan area with a population of 40 million.

“Fortunately, Odawara City is connected to the sea, so it looks like Tokyo will be safe.”

The Prime Minister unconsciously sighed in relief and then glared at the Deputy Director.

“Such nonsense!”

“Fortunately, Kotenbashi and Odawara City are connected by a canyon. The National Fire Agency and Self-Defense Force engineering teams were dispatched to collapse the canyon. If we close the canyon, we will be able to stop the lava from flowing into Odawara City.”

“Oh, is that so?”

The prime minister looked puzzled.

“Welcome. We had to get approval for blasting.”

“It’s not like there’s a place nearby that’s licensed, right?”

“Only the Sakawa River and the Tomei Expressway pass through the canyon. There are some approvals, but I will avoid them as much as possible.”

“Then implement it!”

“thank you.”

The deputy director bowed his head to the prime minister.

Tokyo and Odawara City were now safe.

But the prime minister’s expression did not improve at all.

It just prevented the biggest danger. There were already tens to hundreds of thousands of casualties. I didn’t even know that the greatest damage had already occurred since the war.

“The broadcast cameras are ready.”

The Prime Minister nodded at the words of the Chief Cabinet Secretary who came in with him.

Now it was necessary to reassure the public.

*

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It was a huge explosion. The mountainsides on both sides of the river burst apart at the same time.

A landslide began. The mountains on both sides of the canyon collapsed simultaneously.

Fortunately, the blast was not delayed.

The explosives buried by the engineers succeeded in collapsing the canyon before the lava poured in.

Wow!

Firefighters and engineers cheered as landslides covered rivers and roads.

Doo doo doo.

The broadcasting station’s helicopter was taking pictures of the scene from the sky.

“It was breathtaking! Can you see it! The lava is already flowing! “If we had been a little late, Odawara City might have been submerged in lava!”

A reporter on a helicopter looked out the window and enthusiastically reported the situation.

Just as he said, the lava was already right in front of us.

Grrrr.

Lava buried rivers and burned valleys. Cars abandoned on the road were buried in lava.

Gotemba City, visible far behind, looked like a city in hell.

The place where the city used to be became a lava lake, and only tall buildings stuck out above the lake.

Creeping.

Lava crashed into the collapsed canyon. The lava that hit the earthen wall hardened and the lava was pushed upward.

However, it seemed that the lava would not be able to overcome the collapsed canyon.

Reporters, engineers, and viewers watching the broadcast breathed a sigh of relief.

But then the ground started shaking again.

Coo coo coo coo coo.

It was an earthquake. However, it was a different earthquake than normal earthquakes.

It’s like an animal passing through the ground…

Fuaaaaaa!

A huge pillar rose up through the piled up earthen wall. It was a pillar covered in red flames.

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

It was an earthworm monster. The monster began to stir.

“It’s a monster! A monster engulfed in fire bursts out of the ground! The monster opened its mouth. Even your mouth is full of fire. Flames came out of the monster’s mouth! The direction… ugh!”

bang!

The helicopter crashed in a fireball.

Fuaaaaaa!

More monsters protruded from the earthen wall. Lava spewed out from the holes where the earthworm monsters came out.

The wall built by the engineers was washed away by the lava that spewed out.

The engineers and firefighters who were watching were swept away by the lava, which rushed towards Odawara City.

In front of the lava were giant earthworm monsters.

*

“Stop it! Get everyone out! “You have to stop them from coming to Tokyo!”

At the Prime Minister’s order, fighter jets and combat helicopters loaded with missiles and artillery shells were dispatched.

Pilots were ordered to blow up everything in the city with private houses nearby.

Fighter jets and combat helicopters roamed through the city of Odawara, which was engulfed in lava.

People saw fighter jets and helicopters and waved for help, but the pilots turned away from them to look for monsters.

But the pilots couldn’t spot the monsters.

The capital defense unit was dispatched just in case.

Tank units were deployed on the border between Odawara City and Tokyo, but no monsters were seen.

Crrrrrrr.

Lava flowed into the sea from Odawara City as expected.

Everyone thought it was a blessing in disguise, but that thought changed in less than a day.

An earthquake occurred again in Tokyo. It was a local earthquake that did not exceed magnitude 4.

Crrrrrrr.

Buildings began to collapse one after another.

Shibusawa Station, Isehara City Hall, Tokyo Stadium…

Monsters have started wandering underground in Tokyo.

***

Gyeonghoon and the group also had to go underground like earthworm monsters.

“I’ve been to Las Vegas so far, so I’m not telling you to go there, right?”

Kyung-hoon frowned when he saw the deep hole.

It was a sewage pipe that barely escaped from the sand. When I opened the lid, a tremendous smell rose out.

Shane, who couldn’t smell, just shrugged.

“If the entire strip area wasn’t buried in sand, there wouldn’t be a need to go to the sewer. But no.”

An endless desert stretched out behind Shane. This was where Las Vegas was located. The

metropolis with a population of 500,000 was buried in the sand, with no trace of it.

Hotels in the entertainment district of the Strip were sticking out of the sand, but those hotels The lower floors of the desert were buried in the sand.

Even monsters seemed to avoid the desert. Hotels that escaped over the sand were not inhabited by monsters.

Unfortunately, there was nothing inside the hotel. Only

a few dried corpses and casino tokens were rolling around.

It was disappointing. Just as the search was about to end, Bailey found a brochure.

Inside it was written about a bunker built underground on the Las Vegas Strip.

A bunker that was safe even from monster attacks. It was a casino bunker for entertainment in a dangerous era.

– Crazy.

Eve looked at the booklet and was disgusted, but Kyung-hoon was able to understand it.

Even in a world infested with monsters, the rich and powerful existed. It might have been natural for a gambling house to be created for them. Luckily,

I found a place to look for, but unfortunately, all the roads to it were blocked. .

It was a bunker built underground in the strip area. A bunker connected to the basement of the hotel. Of course, everything was buried in sand. I was about to give up again, but this time,

Eve said that it was probably connected to a sewer pipe, so I ended up here.

Whip! Whip!

Puppy . When he smelled the smell, he shook his head and ran away.

Bailey seemed like he would never go into this sewer pipe.

Kyung-hoon didn’t want to go in either, but he couldn’t back down because of the smell.

Kyung-hoon put on a gas mask and went down.

Climbing the ladder . After descending for a while, I arrived at the bottom of the sewer pipe.

Strangely, there was still water in the sewer pipe.

Thanks to the gas mask, I couldn’t smell it, but the sticky air that touched my skin told me how bad it was inside.

Slap!

Shane too. He landed on the floor.

As Shane splashed the water, the air also stirred.

Kyung-hoon could feel mana in the sticky air.

“I couldn’t see the monster, so I guess it was in here.”

The two immediately took out their weapons.

Kyung-hoon took out a sniper rifle, and Shane also held a machine gun.

It was a sewer pipe made strong with concrete. At this level, there was no fear of it collapsing. With a

thump, a thud,

the two men moved forward along the sewer pipe. . Thanks to Eve, I didn’t have to worry about getting lost.

Contrary to what I expected, I didn’t see any monsters. I just saw a few surviving rats quickly passing by. It wasn’t

far to the bunker

. I think I walked for about 30 minutes.

After passing several intersections, I saw the entrance to the bunker. The two people were greeted by a thick, circular iron door that was half-open.

Then

, a person could be seen

underneath the open entrance .

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

?

“Human? Mutant?”

-It is not a mutant. 36.5 degrees. It is human body temperature.

Eve confirmed it with an infrared camera.

Is it human? However, Kyunghoon and Shane did not approach right away.

It was thanks to my previous experience.

“If you are human, please raise your hands and stand up!”

Crash.

Kyung-hoon shouted and Shane aimed the machine gun.

The man stopped moving. There was no sound of chewing.

The man slowly stood up with his back facing me.

“Raise your hand!”

Kyung-hoon shouted again, but the man did not raise his hand.

Instead, he slowly turned towards the two people.

There was a rat’s tail in the man’s mouth. What he was eating was a rat that had just passed by.

The man opened his closed eyes. The man’s eyes were shining red.

Kyung-Hoon had seen those eyes before.

The eyes of a gourd hunter. And the eyes of those who have gone crazy.

-This is a contaminated awakened person. A human who ate monster meat!

One after another,

people walked out through the half-open entrance to the bunker.

Men, women, old people and young people were all wearing nice clothes.

Their eyes were all shining red.
