Mountains and Sea (1) ― North end of Republic of Korea Branch of One Mind Salvation Church

Grumble-

The heavy vehicle screamed and rose into the air.

Thanks to this, Kangsan, who had been crushed, regained his freedom of movement, but he was unable to get up.

Wow~

Rotten blood continuously flows from the crushed lower body, staining the road.

Her upper body, which was relatively intact compared to her lower body, was wriggling around while looking intently at her younger sister.

My brother’s once kind and warm, empty eyes.

She couldn’t help but cry and stare endlessly into those eyes.

She used her strength to pull the hand that was holding the river and sea, but she could not be dragged away by the river and sea.

A feeling that the whole body is being weighed down, as if there is weight in the air.

Wedge-!

The sack of gun protruding from somewhere fluttered and swallowed up Kangsan.

“Kkieeeek―!”

Kangsan’s loud hand gestures as he thrashes more violently inside the white sack.

“… … .”

Kang Bada stared back with trembling eyes.

The leader of the Salvation Church, who was quietly extending his hand, answered her gaze.

“If he came back now, it would be quite embarrassing for both of us.”

“… … Ah.”

The river and sea nodded with a small sigh.

If it was my older brother who reacted particularly violently to the leader of the Salvation Sect, it wasn’t an impossible possibility.

She looked around the area with empty eyes.

The chilly air and the messy roads.

Park Jin-heon, who Kang San said he was bringing with him, did not show his face even during this uproar.

If so, there is only one reason.

“Bar, Park Jin-heon… … I have to find Park Jin-heon.”

“It’s amazing.”

The old monk smiled softly and shook his head.

“However, it is none of your business now.”

He pointed to Kangsan, who was trapped in a sack.

“Soon, the awakened people of the Republic of Korea will settle the chaos and come this way. Please protect your brother at that time.”

As the cult leader said so, he summoned a glass bottle emitting bright light from his right hand.

A zombie cure is gently handed over to Kang Bada.

Kang Bada carefully grabbed the bottle and bowed with a trembling head.

“This too.”

Another item given to her.

“I dropped it on the floor.”

A voice that resonates with her as she holds the city power ‘Grace’ in her hands.

‘There’s a reason for everything.’

Kang Bada pondered as she looked at the jewel that had still lost its luster.

“You said everything happens for a reason.”

then.

“Why did you give me this jewel? Is it really just a scout?”

Why on earth do you do this to me?

Park Jin-heon’s sudden escape and his brother becoming a zombie.

A sudden disaster occurred in a country where peace seemed within reach.

She had neither the time nor the will to sort out her hair, which had become so complicated.

I just ask him.

To the leader of the Salvation Church who looks down from above as if he knows everything just like that woman.

He asked with a meaningless smile.

“Then why did you get bail again?”

“… … .”

She didn’t say anything when the question came back unexpectedly.

He opened and closed his lips several times as he looked at the jewel sleeping in his hand.

Sooo!

The hair of Kang Bada, who could not open her mouth until the end, was shaken by the sudden wind.

“… … Damn.”

I heard Yoon-kang cursing as he rushed in from behind.

Wow~

Kangsan is tied up in a sack and crying mournfully.

Yoon Kang frowned as he looked at Kang Bada, who was holding back her tears and pursed her lips.

“… … Fuck.”

With that alone, Yoon Kang was also able to understand the situation.

“… … I’m glad my old man and mother haven’t come yet.”

He trudged over, put the sack on his shoulder, and gestured to the river and sea.

Kang Bada, staggering towards Yoon Kang, shows him a zombie cure.

Yoon-kang looks at the leader as he puts the zombie cure he received from her into his inventory.

“The mother and other awakened people are looking for that bastard, Park Jin-heon… … ”

His face was seething, perhaps because he was still not used to using polite language, or for some other reason.

“That guy is probably right. These days, you don’t even see me piercing my nose, so I’m doing such stupid things… … .”

Grumble!

He clenched his fist, which was shaking with anger, and put the river on his opposite shoulder.

“Thank you for the cure. Soon my mother will clear the square and come this way.”

Yoon Kang finished his message as an advance team member and quickly kicked the ground.

Nettle liquid!

A river riding on a large back that disappears as quickly as it came.

She turned her head and looked at the leader of the Salvation Sect with complicated eyes.

“… … .”

The leader didn’t say anything until the end and just smiled softly.

***

Awakening people were busy coming and going at the northern end of the Republic of Korea branch, which was chillingly quiet.

Work was being done quickly to remove the half-destroyed vehicles and check to see if there were any zombies that might have been missed.

“We cleaned up the vehicle that broke into the customer service desk in front of the leader’s office. I completed cleaning up the zombies, checking carefully to see if there were any other zombies I missed.”

“What are the casualties?”

“None. The vice principal is also safe.”

The vice-captain in white armor reports the matters organized next to me.

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

I nodded and checked again the towering Republic of Korea branch in the back.

“Kids these days learn differently.”

It’s a car stuck in an iconic building.

That’s an annoying application that’s not typical of a stupid kid.

It was so absurd that a lot of dry laughter came out.

“… … Sorry, leader.”

It was “. What crime can the vice-captain have?”

I stared at Ha Chae-kyung, who was in the center of the awakened people on the Minguk side, looking at the accident scene with a shocked face.

And I swung around and looked for the cheeky face that still hadn’t joined me.

“… … If you’ve searched this much, you can be sure.”

“Yes, I can’t find Park Jin-heon’s whereabouts anywhere in the Republic of Korea.”

Hearing Kim Hae-il’s confirmation, I looked around the accident site again.

I imagined a development of my own based on the noise I heard during the speech and the rifles and cars still left at the scene.

I don’t know the exact reason yet, but a conflict arose between Kang San and Park Jin-heon.

Kang San, holding a rifle, and Park Jin-heon faced off.

Bang – Bang – Bang!

Kang San fires a rifle at Park Jin-heon.

Cuuu!

A vehicle that cannot be stopped with such ammunition attacks Gangsan.

Keekeeek!

And zombies pouring out of the vehicle surround Kangsan, who cannot move.

Park Jin-heon, seeing this, fires the zombie bomb vehicle he hastily prepared at the Minguk branch.

Kwaaa!

A car crashes into the Minguk branch making a loud noise.

Eventually, Park Jin-heon throws away all the prepared vehicles and quickly runs away somewhere.

I looked closely at the road at the northern end of the Republic of Korea branch, where the guy ran away.

The first question that comes to mind is, of course, why did you betray us?

Park Jin-heon’s status was a member of the Republic of Korea’s leadership that no one could deny.

Although he didn’t seem to have much of a say in it due to issues such as his age and personality, it wasn’t that big of a problem.

Age is ultimately a problem that can be resolved with time, and personality also has the potential to become more mature with age.

This means that he was at the top of the pyramid, both in name and reality, in the large group that combined Expos No. 1 and Expo No. 2.

But why?

‘… … He really is a proper asshole.’

The answer was obvious.

The ugly desire clearly revealed in his lack.

The man who more faithfully desired sexual intercourse with a beautiful woman than anyone else was convinced that he could not fill that need here.

‘If you think about it that way, persimmons are a much better product.’

Actually, there was no way I would have allowed that.

Ha Chae-gyeong and Kang Bada, whom he clearly coveted, were once placed under my special care.

Additionally, the beauties of the Salvation Church were also beings that could not be obtained even if the person died.

So, he probably abandoned the beauties he couldn’t get and ran away to somewhere else.

Ah, should I say it’s not a flight, but a conversion?

I raised my head and gazed at the forces advertising on the electronic display board these days.

Among them, the force that Park Jin-heon finds most attractive is –

[We are looking for proud ‘Daehan’ comrades to achieve this great cause together! We promise tremendous rewards and benefits to comrades who join with meaningful information and majors!]

“Number 3.”

I muttered that and continued thinking again.

Attending the meeting and providing meaningful information to Park Jin-heon, who knows all the abilities of the awakened people on the Republic of Korea side, would be a piece of cake.

Plus, it’s a major.

I looked at the neatly cleaned Republic of Korea branch and smiled.

“If terrorism were a major, it would be a major.”

From Park Jin-heon’s perspective, he will enter Daehan with great pomp and authority, possessing both meaningful information and majors.

There you will receive quite a large reward.

If so, take one step further.

Did he really act just after seeing that ad?

I quietly wiped my chin and cleaned things up.

Could it be that the Republic of Korea took such drastic action after contact with Daehan?

Maybe it was a natural inference, or maybe it was a slightly exaggerated leap.

The problem was that the Republic of Korea’s security was so lax compared to the sanctuary and paradise that were my complete territory.

Thanks to this, there were a lot of cumbersome processes that I didn’t have to do in my area.

There was no heavenly protection, and with new citizens joining the Republic, it was not possible to weed them out with ‘proof of faith’.

However, if they are all forced to join the Salvation Church, the reason they worked so hard to create a nation will be in vain.

The Republic of Korea had to exist as a puppet city to manage citizens and awakened people who were resistant to religion.

“Hmm… … .”

Rather than sitting still because we are in a difficult situation, we need to come up with our own measures.

First of all, it didn’t really matter whether this action was number 3 or not.

The next target is definitely Daehan.

I need to go and help Jinheon, who is smiling brightly, come to his senses.

The timing wasn’t bad, as the slots that had been full since obtaining the beginning were about to be expanded.

“… … Mr. Guwon.”

At that time, I suddenly heard a muttering from the seat next to me.

Before I knew it, Ha Chae-kyung had approached me and was looking up at me with trembling eyes.

“… … sorry. On the festival day everyone was waiting for-”

Her beautifully frowning expression as she soothes her upset stomach.

I whipped my head around to see the water gradually filling my eyes.

The vice-captain and other vigilantes who served me.

In addition, even the awakened people on the Republic of Korea were far away, keeping a certain radius of distance from us.

I looked at her and shook my head with a soft smile.

“This is just an accident. It’s not your fault.”

“No. Our person, Jinheon… I am… That child is like this… ”

In the end, my eyebrows furrowed in sadness as I saw the tear stains embroidering my pure white cheeks.

Well, when I think about it, this may be Ha Chae-kyung’s first betrayal.

He is the first awakened person to leave his two warm homes.

Park Jin-heon left as a legend in many ways.

“You have helped me in many ways so far, but you are only causing trouble like this… … I-”

I should have paid more attention to the children.

I shook my head in self-reproach filled with moisture.

Because I am also responsible for her not being able to put all her efforts into managing awakened people.

I carefully wiped away her tears with a warm smile.

“… … Ah.”

Ha Chae-kyung looks up at me with red eyes and a small exclamation.

“What can you do with the guy who betrayed you with the intention?”

“… … .”

“Are you planning on proposing a law against betrayal by awakened people, like the law against boarding trains?”

Ha Chae-kyung quietly bit her lip in response to my question.

He spoke one after another while looking at the red lips that stood out beautifully.

“Didn’t you join hands with me because you really wanted to make everyone happy, not because of such a ban?”

A small smile burst out at the sight of Ha Chae-kyung quietly pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing Ha Chae-kyung’s appearance as a human being invisible to others, I also hugged her shoulders with an unusual smile.

“Then I guess I should stop crying now. The picture we draw will be filled with tears.”

“… … It wasn’t a flood.”

Seeing her speaking calmly, I smiled even more.

[50%: Happiness for all of us]

[50 %: Complete love from Han Gu-won]

Still, it seemed like it wasn’t just damage.
