Chapter 257: For the new life (3)
“Don’t worry. Three hundred is just the recommended number. I believe the limit is about one thousand people. We have a third cavern that is suited for the injured, and there are a total of fifty rooms for patients.”
Ron said, “But you all seem hungry, so we must prepare food to eat first. The first to fifth storage is all set for food. Send people to…”
“Lieutenant Kim Gitae. Take some men with you to the storage.”
“Yes, sir. Let’s move!”
Chulmin issued the orders and people quickly moved to prepare food.
“There’s a giant cooking facility and bathing space in the second cavern. You can use it as you like when you are done eating. Oh, and there’s also an emergency operating room and medicine that have been prepared in the third cavern.”
Ron explained further as people began to stand guard at the gate. They were finally in a safe place.
-707 people from the alleged origin of the emperor’s homeworld have arrived.
-2 K2 armored vehicles, 12 buses, 12 container trucks, 5 K200 armored vehicles, 38 regular vehicles, and 12 pick-up trucks have come through the Gate. Possess various weapons.
-100 are wounded. They are currently at the nearby base camp. In need of doctors and medicine.
-A man named Park Taesoo requests to have a meeting with the emperor.
‘Park Taesoo!’
It was an emergency memo and was quickly sent to the command office in Lown Peak. It was then transferred directly to Joonbum.
‘He’s here!’
A man’s face came to his mind. It had been over ten years, but he had never forgotten him.
“Oh! It’s him!” Jinpok spoke as he gritted his teeth. Joonbum then remembered the incident from the past.
“Wait- are you?”
“Oh, how I was beaten up so badly back then! I was traumatized!”
Jinpok chuckled, but they were not spiteful words, they were more of a joke. Joonbum laughed.
“Haha, that made you become who you are now. You must thank Taesoo.”
“What?! I was a good man!”
“Oh, so you don’t remember bullying me?”
“Me? Bullying an emperor? The War God?”
“Yeah. Don’t you remember you bullying me a while ago to give presents to your wi—OOOP.”
Jinpok quickly covered Joonbum’s mouth as generals and soldiers around began to walk away with awkward smiles. The only one who left was Doral.
“Well, I guess I do owe him one,” Jinpok admitted as he sat down.
“I expected it to be him if someone did come over, but…”
If there was anyone to come over, it would be Taesoo. It was obvious as he had given up the ownership of the nearby area on Earth to Taesoo. And he knew how Joonbum and his mother had disappeared with huge amounts of goods that he had sold to them.
‘Did Earth… collapse?’
“It seems that Earth is in serious trouble.”
Jinpok voiced out Joonbum’s thoughts.
“I’m curious about what happened.”
He spoke calmly. He, too, was worried, but there was nothing they could do at this point.
“It must not be zombies.” Doral spoke up suddenly.
Jinpok then shouted, “Dammit, I was going to say that first!”
“But it seems that humans did turn into those monsters.”
“Yeah. It’s much more than that.”
The empire had already discovered evidence from the monsters that some of them were once human.
“Yeah, well, we knew they came from Earth. How can we not when they are things from Earth filled inside their bellies? I even managed to taste canned drinks after ten years.”
Joonbum smiled. There was a monster that swallowed a whole vending machine that they killed a while ago.
“First, humans changed into monsters, and second, other living beings also changed. The third point is that the monsters can’t be handled even with the advanced technology of the other world.”
Doral commented as Joonbum and Jinpok frowned. Then, the horn that signaled monster attacks sounded. It had only been about thirty minutes into their rest period.
“They’re here again.”
Joonbum picked up a sniper rifle and moved out.
