Hiding the House in the Apocalypse

17. presentiment

After a while, I received the TV wave.

The president has made a statement.

I didn’t listen properly.

It was because the sewage pipe was blocked and I had to constantly go back and forth in and out of the shelter to clear it.

I didn’t even have to listen.

“It is not true that the government is moving to Jeju Island.”

It’s been bullsh*t from the start.

I started working on the plumbing with the TV on.

The main culprit for clogging the pipes was fallen leaves and garbage accumulated around the sewer outlet.

Garbage aside, where did the fallen leaves come from?

“The reason military planes frequently take off these days is not to move government assets to Jeju Island, but because of the Japanese threat. On the 3rd, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces Navy sank a humanitarian refugee ship with 150 Korean nationals on board, which departed from Busan without warning shots…”

I went back and forth between the shelter and the outside while listening to the broadcast.

There is a distance between the sewage pipe and the air-raid shelter.

A small stream flows along the low hill where the main air defense shelter is located, but the flow rate is low and there are too many eyes to see, so a sewage outlet was installed on the side of the river at a distance.

As a result, it’s a great decision, but at times like this it’s a bit annoying.

“It is true that some government assets were moved to Jeju Island, but this was arbitrarily handled by Lee Sang-hoon, director of the Information Strategy Bureau of the National Risk Committee…”

I thought about turning off the TV there, but I wanted to do a broadcast like this again, so I left it on and resumed work.

I put a wire mesh on the outlet side to make up for it and let the water flow.

It is clean.

I also did a septic tank cleaning.

It is a work that sucks up the sludge that has settled at the bottom of the septic tank with a hose and pump and sends it to another place.

Even while the pump was sucking up my excrement, I listened to the broadcast in my spare time.

“The government will release the government stockpile within three days and start unlimited rations, as well as conducting emergency free medical examinations for children and adolescents. Contrary to what some media outlets and rumors say, our government has stockpiles of three years’ worth of major consumer goods, including food and medical supplies…”

I also thought about pouring it directly into the river without installing a separate septic tank, but the smell of human feces is pretty terrible, and the only thing is that if the sediment sticks to the outlet, it tells you that there are people living here, so I installed it with the help of my mentor, John Naenon. did.

Of course, I regret it every time I clean it, but it’s a wise decision if you spend that brief hard time.

My air-raid shelter is not a temporary refuge, but a place where I will live until I die.

“oh! f*ck!”

sh*t splattered at the corners of his mouth.

I spit out the nutmeg character and returned to the shelter, and a warm voice greeted me.

“Our government will be with the people forever.”

At that point, the broadcast was turned off.

It’s a waste of electricity, and I don’t think I need to listen to it anymore.

Still have an income.

3 days.

It will be quiet for at least 3 days.

I just have a bad feeling, though.

First day.

I circled around the shelter and checked the condition.

The main focus was to check whether the detonation lines connected to the main air defense shelter toward the dummy air defense shelter were working properly.

There were no defects, but there were two places where the camouflage was exposed.

It can be dismissed as insignificant, but in times of crisis, that small difference can mean the difference between life and death.

After carefully disguising the detonation lines, new explosives were installed in front of the secret passageway from the dummy shelter to the main shelter.

It’s not strong enough to blow out a door, but it’s just to wipe out the idiots inside the main air-raid shelter with a single button.

Even behind the secret entrance, I prepared a death trap and a cover that only I could use to prepare for the worst.

In the afternoon, the meat that was put in the dryer in advance was made into preserved food.

What I’m trying to make is a so-called pemmican, which is made by drying the meat, grinding it in a blender, mixing it with dried cranberries, and hardening it with oil.

It has a long shelf life and is rich in nutrients.

There were no plans to make it right away.

It’s called preserved food, but it can’t be more efficient than canned food, and my taste is a bit picky.

It felt like insurance in case the freezer or generator couldn’t be used.

However, it was revealed during the Choi Joong-ryeong incident that not everything went as expected.

I don’t know when the second or third lieutenant colonel Choi may invade my territory.

There will come a time when the days get colder soon, but it is ubiquitous.

I think it took 3 days to spare. I hurriedly watched the video and made it, but it was quite edible, perhaps thanks to the chef’s excellent taste.

However, it is not a recommended food except for the characteristic of preservation.

hands go too far

SKELTON: (Skelton cuisine) I made pemmican!

So, I split my lack of time and uploaded it to the community.

I don’t like it, but it’s fresh, so there are quite a few comments.

The headhunter also commented as if he was free for a long time.

Defender: I like guys who are good at cooking.

The moment I read the article, I was stunned.

“?”

Why is this kid doing this?

hopefully that’s it

That… a man who likes men…

do you want to unfriend? No, if you turn it off, it seems like it will speed up the time for the reunion, so let’s be patient.

With a sense of horror, I stored thirty-six servings of Pemicon mixed with plenty of preservatives in a cool place.

On the second day, they toured dummy air defense shelters and repaired firing routes.

It is a task to remove things that the opponent can use as cover in advance while aiming with a real gun at each bullet hole and cover point.

This work was done before, but it was done before the war, so the environment has changed a lot between then and now.

In particular, weeds that grow jingly were a problem.

Smashing with a scythe all day long, I remodeled my territory into my own.

Despite going through such hardships, the caution that combat is the last option remains unchanged.

I’m alone and the enemies I have to deal with are endless.

The level of the enemy is also a risk factor.

When a country collapses, soldiers become the most dangerous group, which is evident from the examples of India and China.

It is unlikely that the plane heading to Jeju Island will be full of soldiers.

Daram Kim also said.

There aren’t that many seats for soldiers on Jeju Island.

Just then, a transport plane passed overhead with a roar.

I suddenly had a thought.

Is Daram Kim riding in there?

I think it’s time for him to go too.

That night, after soaking in a hot tub to relieve the fatigue of the day, I connected to the community with a glass of preserved milk.

Recently, the users who run Sangjongga are reporters.

Living in Seoul and spreading the news of the city in real time, it is impossible not to be popular.

…

Sure enough, Popular Articles now feels like a dedicated bulletin board for reporters.

It’s like John Naenon in his heyday.

One post by the reporter left a very strong impression on me.

Gijayangban : Airport scenery these days.jpg

There were a lot of people at the airport.

people who want to fly

The military and police are blocking it, but some of them barged into the runway and blocked the transport plane asking for a ride, and an angry club beat them down.

No one died, but the scene in which the blood flowed from the broken head and stained the gray-white concrete was reminiscent of a scene where a monster killed my comrades and covered them in blood.

The third day after the presidential statement.

I checked my weapons and ammunition and sharpened my ax blades under the sunny sunlight.

It was a calm and quiet day.

The atmosphere of the community also shared a languid sense similar to mine.

Call it the calm before the storm.

Each of them talks about ordinary daily life, but everyone’s interest is in Seoul.

Still, there was a small commotion in the middle.

Defender: I was certified because I kept saying it was a woman.

A headhunter took a picture of his hand and posted it.

The hand, with its long white fingers, was quite pretty, but its compact shape and protruding veins invariably revealed that he was a stout adult man.

My prediction was right.

Headhunter, that’s a man.

What a woman silhouette or what, we talked a lot about nonsense, but when the headhunter confirmed it, it became quiet like a lie.

Only one user, who strongly insisted that he was a woman, continued alone with an unconvincing argument.

unicorn18 : (Information) Even a woman’s hand can look like a man’s hand depending on the lighting and angle!

There was no user who agreed with that statement.

Anyway, it seemed that the world’s human hunters had finally run into trouble.

The guy who silently posted cynical factual violence and murder certifications, unlike him, revealed his difficulties on the bulletin board for everyone to see.

Defender : Does anyone have bullets left?

I clicked

-Get a 5.56mm bullet. The more, the better. This side has plenty of supplies except for medicines such as canned food, batteries, clothes, oil, etc. The person I want to exchange is DM.

Possibly. There are people who worry that I kill a lot of people, but the bulletin board users don’t touch me.

After all, I’ve been killing so many people that I have no choice but to run out of bullets.

Even if he proposes a trade, if you look at what he is doing in the current situation, he is a guy with a different mindset from the general public.

But this guy is my internet friend.

A message from Defender: Skeleton. Do you have any bullets left?

SKELTON: not really

Message from Defender: Give me some if you have them. do you want something

Message from Defender: Please reply

SKELTON : has left the chat room.

Message from Defender: Don’t make any modifications. Are you looking for

“······under.”

This friend isn’t really a threat to me.

Combat power is estimated to be at a considerable level, but that’s it.

In a wild field with many variables, the match will be decided depending on the preparation and luck of that side, but the possibility of me losing to him in a situation where variables are excluded is extremely rare.

I just have to say it doesn’t fit.

There will be at least one movie genre that everyone hates to see.

For me, it’s a horror movie.

Life itself is empty, so why do we need to see it?

The headhunter is like a horror movie.

I keep seeing that horror movie guy.

Message from Defender: Just kidding, seriously dangerous now. I touched guys with ties to the military. I’ve been scouring the area for a fortnight and I think we’re going to have to fight it out soon. I don’t know about the other guys, but if it’s you, I believe in you. Skelton. Help me out.

It was clear from his words and actions until now that this guy wasn’t the type to lie.

how will we do it?

Perhaps the answer was predetermined.

SKELTON: (Skeleton, the man of loyalty) Where are you?

Defender and I are not much different from each other.

Message from Defender: (Defender impressed) Cool skeleton!

The meeting place requested by Defender was an unexpected place.

This is the amusement park side of Yongin.

During the war, it was thoroughly abandoned by chemical bombs, so let’s meet around it.

It’s not a place I particularly like.

The area is a gray area where government control has not been carried out since before.

There is an area nearby that is occupied by an infiltration type monster, but it is not dangerous as long as you do not get close to it because it is not a wandering type, but a stationary type.

Mutations have not been reported, but in fact, the most feared thing during the trip is a sudden gunshot.

Going to meet the defender is said to greatly increase the probability.

have to be hesitant

After not getting an answer for a while, he texted me.

A message from Defender: If it’s hard to come, should I go? Because I’m sorry But I don’t have a car so I have to walk.

SKELTON: No, I’ll go. Only tell me the safe route.

It’s dangerous, but I’d rather go.

I don’t want to tell you my area.

Human hunters are bluffing, but my realm is not so easy to spot.

We exchanged messages with the human hunter and discussed the rendezvous schedule.

Since it is a dangerous area, we had to discuss the route by looking at the map in 100m increments.

This was the last routine of the third day before the storm.

The next day, everyone waited for the next news from the reporter Yangban’s fingers.

I pressed refresh repeatedly with an expressionless face, with a strange feeling that I couldn’t tell if it was nervous or anticipation.

keystone : (Bad news) Status of bastards in tents next door – still not out

Anonymous 118: Doesn’t the server response speed seem slower than before?

iamjesus: He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.

unicorn18 : My tail got hard…

Anonymous 552 : The current situation in Seoul.jpg

Kyle_Dos: It’s upper angle fishing

SKELTON: What would you like for lunch today?

…

…

The home of my heart that is always calm.

In the afternoon, the reporter finally posted.

Gijayangban : Current situation in Seoul.jpg

The result exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The government kept its promise.

They say they are distributing food and providing medicines as promised.

I stretched, feeling half relieved and half hopeless.

You somehow got over the hurdle.

A transport plane roared over my shelter.

Shall we try disinfecting bedding in sunlight?

As I was tidying up the bedding, the K-walkie-talkie suddenly made a sharp beep.

Personal identification number: DARAM

It’s Daram Kim.

“…”

someone said

Bad hunches always fit because people don’t count good hunches.

But are there too many cases where people count good feelings?

If it’s a life that can count good feelings,

“senior. How much is the air defense shelter? Is there room for three people including me?”

It may well be a happy life.
