The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 36

 

“Why don’t you go back outside? Don’t humans have homes, property, and families outside the Contaminated Area?”

 

Since we seemed to have gotten a bit closer, I thought it would be okay to ask something like this.

 

Just as I was thinking that to myself.

 

Captain Gong Ju Won spotted us from the rooftop and shouted urgently.

 

“Where are you going! You’re not leaving me behind, are you? Huh? Colonel? Jelly?!”

 

When I waved my hand in greeting, Captain Gong Ju Won jumped down from the 4-story rooftop.

 

As expected, hunters really aren’t human.

 

“I can’t leave.”

 

“…?”

 

I looked up at the voice from above. Chae Heon’s face was frighteningly calm.

 

“…”

 

What did he mean he couldn’t leave?

 

Did he have circumstances he couldn’t talk about?

 

I wasn’t sure, but I could tell it didn’t mean he didn’t want to leave.

 

I gently patted the back of Chae Heon’s hand that was holding my ear.

 

“Let’s go outside together later.”

 

I continued speaking while looking at the sky with the bright moon.

 

“We’ll all go outside together.”

 

“Sounds good!”

 

Captain Gong Ju Won, who joined us late, raised his fist to the sky and swung it around.

 

“Yay-”

 

“Yeah-”

 

Whether we were gathering our energy and spirit or not, Chae Heon turned his head away with dead fish eyes.

 

“Captain Gong, you’re keeping those guys’ mouths shut, right?”

 

“Don’t worry. They don’t know much anyway. Oh, speaking of which, that Red Hazmat Mask guy gave me this. He said he stole something the Scavengers treasured. That guy’s really something else. Hahaha!”

 

What is it? What could it be? I squirmed with curiosity about the item Captain Gong Ju Won had taken out.

 

Then Chae Heon lifted me up.

 

“Huh?”

 

I couldn’t help but be shocked when I saw the item in Captain Gong Ju Won’s hand.

 

“This is?”

Shane, who had been running, swept back his blonde hair and tapped his earphone. If his earphone wasn’t broken, then what he heard must be correct.

 

“Green onions?”

 

– Yes, this purification item is green onions.

 

His secretary added in his characteristic emotionless tone.

 

– It says ‘delicious when grilled’ in the description.

 

They created something incredibly amazing, and it says delicious when grilled?

 

“Ahahahahaha!”

 

He laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and only after a while did he speak with a voice full of laughter.

 

“Whoever it is must be someone with wit. I already like them.”

 

He started walking leisurely.

 

When people around recognized him as the CEO of ‘Revaion Biotech’ and took photos, he lightly waved his hand in response.

 

People cheered and shouted at the greeting from the young CEO who built a major corporation.

 

After greeting a bit more, Shane started moving before more people gathered.

 

“Did you get a sample of the green onions too?”

 

– Yes, we’ll start experiments right away.

 

“Good. What about the report that went to the VIP over there? Did you secure it?”

 

– Yes. I just sent it. To put it briefly, according to satellite observations by the authorities, pollution levels in Yongsan have decreased significantly.

 

“Hmm, same conclusion as ours.”

 

Shane hummed pleasantly.

 

Some say the vending machine is just an anomaly in the Contaminated Area, but he thought differently.

 

There must be something directing this.

 

Shane wanted to confirm that.

 

“What about the drone?”

 

‘Revaion Biotech’ was developing drones that could freely move around Contaminated Areas and collect data. This was one of the fields Shane was most interested in.

 

– We’re currently preparing for test runs.

 

“Perfect. I was just wanting to go in and see for myself.”

 

Shane smiled and started running again.

 

– There’s still the permit issue after the test run.

 

“We’ll get that later.”

 

– Excuse me?

 

“Thanks for the report, Susan.”

 

Shane smiled and hung up.

 

Changes were happening in the Contaminated Area.

 

And only in Korea…!

 

The whole world was paying attention to this.

 

They had to keep up quickly. The slow side would be the loser.

 

He had good instincts. The exciting trembling wouldn’t stop. Whatever it was, he had to get his hands on it.

 

Faster than anyone else.

Green onions are delicious.

 

I wiped my drool while watering the green onions.

 

I never had occasion to eat green onions cooked alone at the hospital, but according to what Chae Heon told me, Spain has a pure green onion dish called ‘calçotada’.

 

It’s a dish where you grill whole green onions and peel off the skin to eat them, which means green onions are that delicious an ingredient.

 

Mm-hmm. Seeing how the green onions were selling like hotcakes, my customers seemed to think the same way.

[Cosmic Coin Holdings: 3,100cc]

 

Definitely, having one more vending machine makes me earn about three times more coins.

 

According to Chae Heon, the vending machine at the hospital would be under military management.

 

Then the coins coming in now are from soldiers working hard to collect Cosmic Coins and supply them to me.

 

It’s not a bad thing, but is it okay to let the government monopolize it like this?

 

Something like a sense of mission as the only purification ability user seems to be boiling up…

 

After finishing watering the vegetable garden, Older Brother and I stood side by side and started exercising.

 

Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!

 

My bouncy body spun round and round.

 

I moved enough to work up a sweat as usual, but far from sweating…

 

Brrr-

 

My body shivered from the cold.

 

The temperature was getting lower and lower.

 

I hugged Older Brother and slipped into the box, pulling the blanket over us.

 

‘Winter is coming.’

 

Even if I’m of alien origin, could the crops survive a Korean winter?

 

Hunting wouldn’t be easy in winter either…

 

With the weather getting colder, I had a mountain of worries about this and that.

 

Winter…

 

“I want to curl up on a warm electric blanket and eat roasted sweet potatoes.”

 

Captain Gong Ju Won, who had come out after washing and was drying his hair, laughed in surprise.

 

“Jelly, sometimes you really seem like a real person.”

 

“I told you I was once a human species from Earth, didn’t I?”

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

You’d think they might consider me a contaminated mutant who used to be human, but neither Chae Heon nor Gong Ju Won seemed to suspect anything like that at all.

 

Why? Because I look too cute? Hmph!

 

“Are you really not going to wash?”

 

Just then, Chae Heon came out of the kitchen. He looked like he was about to start nagging again.

 

“It’s cold! Only cold water comes out here!”

 

I squeaked and wriggled into the blanket to hide.

 

“Jelly doesn’t have to wash for a day or so. Because Jelly is jelly.”

 

Why do I have to wash every day? Why do they wash so well with cold water when it’s this cold? Is it because they’re soldiers?

 

While I was curled up inside the box, a white hand suddenly reached in and picked me up.

 

“Jelly gets dirty too if you don’t wash.”

 

I pouted my lips.

 

Chae Heon carried me into the kitchen.

 

Why? I thought he was going to take me to the bathroom and pour water on my head?

 

Instead, I was instantly dropped into a pot sitting over the fireplace.

 

Plop.

 

At the same time, the warmly heated water relaxed my tense body.

 

‘Oh! Is this a hot spring…!’

 

“Waah-”

 

As I splashed around enjoying the warm water, Chae Heon snorted, then eventually brought Older Brother over and placed him in my arms.

 

I was so moved that my eyes sparkled. I felt both my body and heart warming up.

 

“Thank you, Chae Heon. It’s really warm and nice.”
