NOVEL NEXT chapter 60
39. Yuse (1)
When we listen to news or information announcements, we often see expressions involving the editor’s will, such as inflating or reducing work.
The exaggeration and concealment are a way of expressing intentions.
There are as many ways of expressing opinions as people think, and some of them do not mention certain facts at all.
Anonymous848: Damn how many died?
Dolsingnam: I lost contact with my friend outside of Seoul. A relative who survived the war.
Anonymous 458: I heard that the legionnaires almost all left before the monsters arrived.
keystone: Didn’t you buy a million even if you couldn’t do it?
Dies_irae69 : Not even a million. At most, it must be around 300,000. But why isn’t the government making an announcement?
…
…
The government informed them of the monster’s approach, but did not mention the damage caused by it.
Even Failnet is dead.
Concerned about John Naenon’s safety, he sent a message to his subordinate.
A message from 183cm88kg18cm: Oh, I’m alive. It was because the super-large species were flocking to the area dominated by the National Assembly, not the Legion faction. But many people lived there. I would have died a lot.
It seems that the failure of Failnet was not a monster invasion, but a problem with its own network.
The real problem came after that.
-jijik
The government conducted an emergency radio broadcast.
“The national representative election will be held from next Wednesday. Voting is scheduled to be held at the polling place prepared at each evacuation center, and citizens who wish to cast one vote are requested to bring their old ID or evacuation center registration card to the polling place. I repeat once more…”
The broadcast was everything.
Hundreds of thousands, no, millions of people may have died, but an incident occurred, and only the election story was released without mentioning a single hemisphere.
Naturally, there was a lot of criticism on the bulletin board.
Dentist_Kim : I don’t think this is a bit off.
tntn_Orthopedics: How many people have died, but you’re holding an election? they’re crazy bastards this
berkut_break : Oh, I found out when the term of office was extended indefinitely.
Denis_Oldman: Why aren’t they dying? Why are you persistently surviving?
…
…
To the extent that Nunting people who don’t usually write well write.
Even among them, there were many nicknames that even I had never seen before.
Defender : I want to kill them all
In the meantime, the fact that Defender’s complaint was on the popular post was significant in many ways.
The number of likes broke the highest the defender has ever received.
It is said that even conservative people who usually view Defender negatively are sincerely rooting for him this time around.
Defender also posted an uncharacteristically weak post, perhaps feeling burdened by the expectations being poured out on him.
Defender: No, don’t fly. No matter how much I am, I can’t go into the provisional National Assembly building guarded by the military and open fire.
After a while, the failnet was restored.
They have a slightly different atmosphere from us, but they all have the same heart.
On the popular bulletin board of the site, which is like a melting pot of Korean society with more diverse gender and age groups than ours, they criticized the election more hotly and harshly than ours.
The highlight must be the popular bulletin board, which is also the alpha and omega of Failnet.
Read the article with the most comments.
ㅇㅇ : I’m going to kill the bastards at the national doctor’s office (23,123)
– So many people have died, so you’re saying elections? yes try it
My ballot is a bullet.
A stout man with a mask covering his face exposed his gun and posted a murder notice threatening to kill the election committee and all election candidates.
The number of comments is a whopping 23,000.
Gulp
“and.”
that’s a great comment
To get 10,000 more than me who received 10,000 comments…
I also thought about posting a post with a similar repertoire for a while, but I gave up my mind after seeing the posts listed under the bulletin board.
Propofol: A former hunter. Start hunting today (19,839)
ㅇㅇ : Since I am from North Korea, I will not be able to go to South Korea (13,234)
Lim Hyo-chang: I am Hyo-chang Yi-ham from Busan. (11,320)
Monster: Hello? I am a monster. (10,232)
KILLER: See you on Election Day. (9,327)
ㅇㅇ : I’m Awaken hiding my power. (8,234)
…
…
There are too many verification messages saying they would kill the national representative.
But these guys
I don’t think it’s all sincere…
Most of them are jokes while watching in silence.
Anyway, what is the monster?
Why is the monster using the internet to write?
“・・・・・You have sense”
I envy their humor, which can sublimate even this situation into gags and jokes, but on the other hand, I also felt the bitterness of the nameless people who could only express their anger in this way.
The day passed in confusion and fury.
John Naenon’s great work performed the positive function he hoped for without fail.
A large number of Failnet users went to Seoul, which was in ruins, and inspected the site.
Soon, dozens of informational posts were posted, and our reporter man filtered out the right information from the countless pieces of information, edited it, and posted it on our bulletin board.
Gijayangban : This Eruption Seoul damage summary.txt
I don’t like to read long texts, so I’ll keep it short.
1. Damage is concentrated in the southwest of Seoul – the area controlled by the National Assembly
2. Evacuate all Legionists before the super-large species appear.
3. A few large species were observed in the Legionist occupation zone, but all disappeared. little damage
4. The Hope doesn’t collapse
The exact number of deaths was not mentioned.
This is because all figures are close to estimates because they have never been counted properly in the first place.
However, it is widely believed that at least 500,000 people died.
We can only speculate because there is no body.
When a super-large Kraken type is exposed to the rays of destruction shining like a lighthouse, the human body turns to ashes and leaves no trace.
“after.”
I sat back in the chair for a while, drinking the coffee left by Mr. Dragon, and sitting blankly.
The only light in the air-raid shelter with the lights turned off is the sunlight coming in through the open door.
As the shade gradually tilted and reached the depths of the air-raid shelter, in other words, when it reached my toilet standing tall on a platform with a step in the middle, the K-walkie-talkie emitted a unique beeping sound.
Personal Identification Number: REDMASK
Is it Woo Min-hee again?
Contact is very frequent these days.
Could it be that this guy even figured out my true identity…?
It can’t be.
Jonnaenon’s subordinates nailed it as absolutely impossible.
I calmed my thumping heart for a moment and responded to the call.
“Oh~ Minhee!”
“senior! He was alive!”
“Thanks to you, I lived. If it wasn’t for you, I would have almost died. What is it? A real Kraken type is coming all the way to my house. and······.”
“It’s rewarding. Still, I thought our seniors weren’t the kind of people who would die from monsters like that.”
“thank you.”
They say people will die if they do something they shouldn’t.
no way? Minhee Woo, are you working today or tomorrow?
I waited for her next words while imagining such foolish thoughts.
Soon, a gentle laugh sounded through the speaker.
“Did you tell me before? I still think highly of you.”
I did say that.
But, as far as I understood at the time, it sounded nothing but a mockery.
Minhee Woo is such a character.
Anyway, it seems that I have become very weak.
“······It must be old school.”
When I see you can’t stand it and take out the words in your heart.
maybe you’re tired
No, maybe it’s impatience.
In an era where everything dies, collapses, and disappears, there aren’t many opportunities to express one’s true intentions.
When will I have another chance to talk like this?
Of course, I regretted saying this.
I will surely buy a laugh.
After Minhee Woo became Awaken, she was the one who judged hunters of the old era, including me, as worthless.
Well, if you want to laugh, laugh at me.
He is not the delicate and proud professor of the old days.
Failnet and Viva! Apocalypse! It is Skelton, the Internet soccer ball that is criticized by both sites at the same time.
Honestly, Woo Min-hee, who loses to Um Chang-i, can’t get a scratch if she laughs?
however.
“Is the old school really the wrong way?”
Unexpected remarks burst out of my junior’s mouth.
I had to judge for a moment whether she was serious or joking.
After a while, she murmured in a low voice.
“Now that I think about it, it’s a slightly wrong way… ”
“…”
“Are too many people dying? I almost died five times when I was in old school. huh? He also has bullet marks on his side.”
why did you say
“Anyway, senior. can you help me huh? Should I help?”
Apparently, this seems to be the main point.
Let’s hear the contents first.
“What can I do to help?”
“It’s nothing.”
Beyond the speaker, Woo Min-hee’s distinctive high and hateful laughter echoed faintly.
“The campaign trail.”
The moment I heard her words, for some reason, I remembered the various murder notices that decorated the flames of Failnet.
*An armored vehicle is standing at the meeting place.
Soldiers with faces waved at me.
“Park Hunter! Long time no see! Are you all right?”
There are many things I responded to Minhee Woo’s bizarre proposal, but Minhee Woo herself took the biggest share.
In the past, Woo Min-hee was an out-of-control madman.
Originally, he didn’t have a good personality, but after awakening to Awaken’s power, he turned into a difficult person to approach.
It looks like a human being, but it is not a human being.
The scene where she drove the junior male she liked to death and took psychotic drugs while going crazy after that junior died was the decisive moment that made me lose her.
But maybe it’s because I’m getting older?
Woo Min-hee has a better personality than before.
It hasn’t changed that his personality is still at the bottom, but it still feels like he’s come back from being non-human to the edge of being human.
Well, I also went through a lot.
It has really softened a lot.
To the extent that people who only remembered me from my former professor days couldn’t imagine it.
The first thing that moved me was the slightly naïve thought that because I had changed, she would have changed too.
Of course, the decisive factor is the kindness Woo Min-hee showed me at the time of this monster eruption.
I never imagined that he would contact me personally for the real me.
Actually, the information was very accurate.
Woo Min-hee did something that even Kim Da-ram, my most trusted junior, did not do.
At least in front of Umchang, she was an ordinary older sister.
The bad-tempered older sister you see everywhere…
“…”
I decided not to think about what she was doing.
I don’t need to know, and I’m not in a position to pick and choose what I want to eat like a fussy child.
After Daram Kim disappeared, I felt keenly how important strong connections are.
Go blind right now
Viva! Apocalypse! Without it, I would have lived a life not very different from that of primitive people.
Perhaps he was caught in a storm that came by chance while completely cut off from the outside world and died.
I wouldn’t trust Minhee Woo completely, but it didn’t seem too bad to maintain a little connection with her.
It’s a bit of work for that.
It won’t do any harm.
On the contrary, there is a benefit from time to time.
“You mean Seoul? Well, it’s a pity. Mostly the elderly and the infirm died. I have nowhere to go and no will to go. Even if the evacuation siren went off, people who chose to die in their own homes were killed.”
Also listen to information.
“This is something Director Woo Min-hee asked me to deliver.”
Get a can of Juicy, which Suu likes.
“Soon it will be Seoul. Well, you shouldn’t be surprised. It’s because people just disappeared.”
Let’s go to Seoul that everyone is talking about.
“Okay, we have arrived. Hunter Park.”
The scenery of Seoul unfolded before me once again.
Two years and seven months since the war began.
Seoul was virtually destroyed.
Only a handful of people escape from the catastrophe and wander the empty streets.
“ha ha ha······.”
A crazy woman was roaming the streets.
Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn, exposing her breasts, but she didn’t care as she walked down the empty street.
The soldiers watched her but did not stop her.
A piece of what looked like a piece of metal was lodged in her back of the head.
“This way.”
I never would have imagined that I would do something like an election campaign in my lifetime.
Fortunately, the election campaign that Minhee Woo asked me to do is not a general campaign, but something I am good at.
“Our candidate seems to want to hunt a monster for election results. If you don’t do that, you think you’ll lose the election.”
Of course, what she asked for was “campaign”, not “elect”.
As long as you help, that’s enough.
Whether it was helpful to that human or not, so all you had to do was pretend to be there and help.
“That person found a weakness on our side and threatened us, but I couldn’t help it. really. In the past, Da-ram Kim responded, but Mr. Da-ram. I like the rain too. If it were me, I would have killed him.”
The candidate in question was looking up blankly at the ruins of Seoul with his hands behind his back.
The back of the head I saw somewhere.
It’s a familiar face when someone said it.
“Ah, the Hunter song introduced by the National Committee.”
The man turned to me.
“uh?”
The man’s expression darkened.
It has to be.
Because that person, Park Sang-min, had trouble with me at the time of Chairman Je Poong-ho’s incident.
I saw him when the school was being demolished, but it will be the first time Park Sang-min sees me since that incident.
“Everything, you?! Then that?!”
“You can return it if you don’t like it.”
Rather, it went well.
Because I don’t want to be involved with a person like this for even a second.
However, our Congressman Park, unlike two years ago, seems to be in need these days.
“hahahaha. What are you talking about? Hunter.”
If you see me looking at you with a sad face.
“Go! The car is ready!”
