Episode 50

 

#Episode 50

 

Their demands were simple.

 

The normalization of the northern Korean Peninsula.

 

And the United States and Japan would maintain close relations with the Republic of Korea that would be rebuilt later.

 

When you think about it, it wasn’t that difficult a task, but normalizing the North Korean region seemed extremely difficult for them.

 

Even to me, who was a complete outsider to diplomacy, it seemed excessive.

 

Of course, since I wasn’t the type to refuse what was being offered, I readily accepted.

 

Moreover, this time the association presidents would stay on the Korean Peninsula for a few more days and even share satellite photos with us, so it seemed like the work would become much easier.

 

‘With this level of support, I should be able to catch this monster a bit more easily.’

 

I let out a sigh of relief and entered my lodging.

 

At least until the next day, before receiving the satellite photos, I thought that way.

 

* * *

 

The next morning.

 

“…No way, that’s a lie.”

 

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true.”

 

“No… I mean, how can there be a desert in North Korea!?”

 

I could see satellite photos of North Korea that had been desertified into a desert, specifically one of bright red soil.

 

Finding it hard to believe, I looked at satellite photos from other countries, but they weren’t much different.

 

It had reached Hamhung City and the surrounding Bukchong County and Bujeon Town, and even extended to Jangjin Town and Yodeok Town.

 

With a bit of exaggeration, at this rate, the desertification might reach South Korea.

 

“No, the speed of desertification is way too fast, isn’t it?”

 

“We think so too. Originally it was less than half of Hamhung City, but suddenly it started increasing exponentially.”

 

I had planned to take my time and depart leisurely this time, but it seemed I wouldn’t be able to do that.

 

No matter what, the speed of desertification was far too fast.

 

At the current predicted rate, it would reach the DMZ in a month.

 

Moreover, in that desert lived Death Worms, S-class monsters over 3 kilometers long.

 

And around them, countless large and small subordinate Death Worms also emerged.

 

Just thinking that such creatures might come down to South Korea made my mouth feel dry.

 

“Sigh… I need to prepare to leave quickly.”

 

“At the earliest, when are you planning to go?”

 

“At the earliest today, at the latest I need to depart tomorrow.”

 

When dealing with high-grade monsters, the faster the better.

 

Just look at the Han Bingrong incident – you could see what happened when high-grade monsters were left alone.

 

Moreover, this time the territory was even wider than that.

 

Since there was no telling what kind of mess had already been made, I needed to depart as quickly as possible.

 

When I urged them, Reynold called someone over and said something, then received something.

 

“I didn’t expect it to be used this way… but please take this.”

 

“Car keys? What is this?”

 

It was a smart key that we commonly know, but it had several additional functions.

 

“I didn’t expect it to be used this quickly… but please come outside.”

 

When we came outside, I could see Hunter Kang Cheol-u and Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, both wearing masks, diligently constructing the city.

 

Since Hunter Kang Cheol-u usually handled the driving, I called for him.

 

I had put masks on them beforehand, crafted with all my might, to hide my ability to revive people.

 

“Chul… I mean, Jeonwoo! Come over here!”

 

“Oh, understood!”

 

Jeonwoo, who had been helping with reconstruction, came over and stood beside me.

 

When Reynold pressed a button, a vehicle in the distance automatically approached us.

 

It was a vehicle with huge wheels, similar in size to a tank, and it definitely had the feel of an American strategic weapon.

 

“This is a vehicle developed by our military. Since it was made for operations in remote areas, it should be much more useful than your current vehicle.”

 

Even to my eyes, it seemed to incorporate many complex technologies.

 

In other words, it looked expensive.

 

“Is it really okay to just give us something like this?”

 

At my response, Reynold smiled warmly.

 

“It would be troublesome if you’re surprised by just this much. Once the land routes are normalized later, I’ll show you even better things.”

 

While handing me the car keys, Reynold gave me several explanations.

 

Most of the car’s functions would be automatically determined and used by the onboard ultra-high-performance AI, but to prepare for emergencies, someone should hold the steering wheel.

 

He also explained several other features like mana shields and ultrasonic mana detection, but Hunter Kang Cheol-u was the one mainly nodding and listening rather than me.

 

“As expected of Hunter Cha Hyeon-su’s companion, you understand quickly. Very good.”

 

“Thanks to him, he’s an excellent tanker I can trust to watch my back.”

 

The interior of the vehicle was also very spacious, making it good for rescuing refugees if we encountered any.

 

Honestly, last time I thought I was going to die from the difficulty of bringing those kids out of Han Bingrong’s territory.

 

Hunter Kang Cheol-u was so impressed with the car’s performance that he even clapped.

 

“This might sound a bit crude, but this is amazing…”

 

“I’m glad you like it. So, when are you planning to depart for the raid?”

 

At Reynold’s question, I briefly checked on my companions.

 

Even just looking at Jinu, excluding the summons, he possessed the monstrous body of an S-rank Hunter.

 

Since we had essentially gotten free level-ups in Han Bingrong’s Domain this time, our morale was at its peak.

 

“Actually, I was most worried about transportation since it’s a desert, but at this level, we could depart immediately if we just pack the necessary supplies.”

 

“We, the Four Countries, have already prepared all the basic supplies…”

 

When Reynold gave a signal, Seo, who had been watching from the side, brought over a black backpack.

 

It looked like a functional bag, but inside it contained a subspace that could hold endless amounts.

 

I couldn’t even imagine how much a subspace of this size would cost.

 

As I stood there bewildered, Reynold casually pointed to the car and said.

 

“That thing is cheaper than the car next to it anyway.”

 

“How unfair…! If I had known this would happen, we should have brought a tank too.”

 

“Haven’t you received support yet? We’ve already given orders to send it, but you’re slower to act than you look.”

 

After confirming Han Bingrong’s subjugation, they seemed like countryside grandmothers trying to pack one more thing for us.

 

I just chuckled and humbly bowed my head.

 

“…With such devoted care, I’m embarrassed to have nothing to offer in return.”

 

“Of course, we just hope you understand that we’re staking our lives on this matter.”

 

“Most of the necessary items are packed in the bag, so you just need to wear these two things directly.”

 

It was a black ring and a transparent pearl bridge to attach to the body.

 

“The bridge is a kind of body cam. We plan to use it to monitor the situation in real-time while comparing with satellite images. The ring next to it is communication equipment.”

 

“If any danger is detected on satellite, that bridge will display holograms in your field of vision, Hunter.”

 

The parade of technology they spoke of so casually was mind-boggling.

 

“…You mean real-time briefings are possible?”

 

“Yes, we use all this even for handling B-rank monsters.”

 

“We originally wanted to prepare more for you, but we came in such a hurry…”

 

Even this didn’t seem like much to them, as everyone wore nonchalant expressions.

 

‘The technology gap is really incredible…’

 

Even when the country was intact in the old days, there was much talk about falling behind in technology, but now I couldn’t even predict how severe the gap had become.

 

Just as I was grinning at the thought that this level of support was practically free, Reynold quietly stepped forward.

 

“Um… Hunter. This is our request, but would it be alright if we analyzed the footage from that body cam?”

 

“That’s not particularly difficult. Go ahead and do it.”

 

“Oh…! Really?! Thank you!”

 

They were overjoyed at my permission.

 

They must think they’ll learn something from watching the body cam.

 

Anyway, Baek Do-hyeon and Kang Cheol-u won’t even be properly visible to their eyes.

 

I’ll reveal it someday, but now isn’t that time.

 

“This should be enough to depart immediately.”

 

“Yes, just in case, we’ve filled the bag with supplies necessary for survival. And…”

 

Karsheva quietly approached me and whispered in my ear.

 

“The red button inside is a precision strike button. It’s set to fall at the button’s location, so press it and throw it wherever you want.”

 

“Precision strike means…”

 

“It’s a missile deployed in the Hasansky District of Primorsky Krai.”

 

Hasansky is the region closest to the Korean Peninsula.

 

They must have hastily deployed it to the front lines because of the Korean Peninsula becoming Makyeong.

 

“I understand for now.”

 

Ordinary missiles wouldn’t work against S-rank monster-level enemies.

 

Then this precision strike couldn’t be an ordinary missile – did they put a nuke in it?

 

Since Karsheva seemed reluctant to reveal more and was watching the other countries’ reactions, I also nodded without saying more.

 

“I hope there won’t be a need to use it.”

 

“I think so too.”

 

After finishing the conversation, I gathered my companions again.

 

Even though we were going on another expedition after just one day, no companion complained.

 

“Sister Sheva, this moisturizing cream is really good!”

 

“Uncle Reynold, will you give us other tools when we come back!?”

 

“Sei, give me more snacks!”

 

I could see evidence that some had been bribed with treats, but I didn’t bother to acknowledge it.

 

* * *

 

“My lord, this thing does zero to sixty in 2 seconds?!”

 

“No shaking but it’s this fast!?”

 

Jinu and Chul-woo exhaled in amazement.

 

Actually, I was just as excited, but there were many things to check immediately.

 

[Ah, Hunter Cha Hyeon-su, can you hear me?]

 

“Yes, I can hear you clearly.”

 

[No communication issues, no body cam issues, confirmed. We’ll begin guidance from now on.]

 

The vehicle racing at terrifying speed instantly passed through Paju and was breaking through the completely destroyed DMZ.

 

Even through the bizarre terrain and Korea’s merciless mountainous landscape, we could travel as peacefully as staying in a hotel room.

 

Hunter Kang Cheol-u felt ecstatic as he raced toward Kaesong like this.

 

Naturally, there were no monsters blocking our path.

 

“My lord, should we continue advancing straight to Hamhung like this?”

 

“Yes, let’s go as fast as possible. Time is of the essence.”

 

The scenery outside the speeding vehicle changed rapidly in real time.

 

Even so, North Korea’s situation was far more serious than South Korea’s.

 

While South Korea had managed to hold off monsters until the end, concentrating them only in specific areas, North Korea had monsters positioned everywhere without any such resistance.

 

We were passing by quickly, but even on the roadside, monsters that appeared to be at least C-rank were crawling around casually.

 

“How terrible.”

 

“This is what a real Makyeong looks like… At least in South Korea you can avoid them.”

 

I was clicking my tongue and shaking my head at the horrific scenery outside the window when a voice came from the ring.

 

[Hunter Cha Hyeon-su, there’s a horde of 60 monsters including three A-rank monsters 711 meters directly ahead.]

 

At the tone that seemed to be asking for my intentions, I naturally nodded.

 

“If they’re A-rank monsters, let’s deal with them on our way. Please display their location.”

 

[Understood.]

 

Shortly after, a hologram appeared not only in front of me but also in front of Hunter Kang Cheol-u.

 

“Should we ram into them and clean up the trash before we start, my lord?”

 

“Is that okay?”

 

[Yes, since it was originally made for that purpose, there’s no problem at all.]

 

The car pressed the accelerator even harder and rammed into the monster horde ahead.

 

A little over ten monsters flew magnificently through the air and died instantly.

 

Unfortunately, the A-rank monsters that were in the rear were unharmed.

 

Screeeech!

 

As the car stopped with a clean drift, my companions poured out as if they had been waiting.

 

I pondered for a moment and thought of the body cam on my chest.

 

‘They said they want to see, so I should show them at least once.’

 

I summoned Desperado and got out of the car.

 

Desperado, who had rested and was in peak condition, became excited and began glaring at the monsters.
