Chapter 1854 – 1854. Eternal Eden
I woke up the fainting Jin Jianggu and interrogated him. Of course, it was an interrogation accompanied by torture. It’s been a long time since I’ve done torture with my own hands, but it wasn’t particularly difficult. Biting nails and breaking toes. I threw away the skin in a suitable part and stabbed it with a weapon.
“Ouch… I’ll tell you! I will tell you!”
The gangster’s loyalty was more than I thought.
Jin Kang-gu came to capture Na Chae-young on the orders of the alpine group boss. I did have a relationship with the moneylender I killed a few hours ago. The alpine boss seemed to have buried the moneylender case by shabashah with the cops.
“The boss gave me a gun and told me to bring Dr. Na because the boss of Taewang wants to see Dr. Na! There are no other orders! I wondered if the boss himself was trying to avenge his older brother by asking Dr. Na! While trading Dr. Na with the boss of Taewang!”
Hasik. It was the name of the loan shark I killed.
“What else is Taewang? Are you a gangster?”
Na Chae-young opened her mouth with a serious face.
“The gangsters who rule Gangnam, Seocho, Songpa, Seongdong, Dongdaemun, Gwangjin, and Yongsan in Seoul. They practically rule the underworld of Seoul. It’s an organization whose scale has already surpassed the level of a gangster. Why is the king’s boss wanting to meet me?”
“I do not know! The boss just told me to bring you!”
“What about Bister? Where did you get the medicine from?”
“I bought the medicine from a member of the Taewang side. 100,000 won per pill. If you eat it during a fight, you get excited and the pain goes away, so our kids have it as a must.”
“… How did you know I was here?”
“I put a transmitter on your car on the orders of the boss. I knew your whereabouts from before. Could it be that we traded with you, who is extremely dubious, for no reason.”
“… That’s right. I have neglected you too much.”
After interrogating him a few more times, I decided that there was no more information to find out, so I grabbed Kang Jin-gu by the throat and electrocuted him to death.
“I am Dr. What do you think is the reason why Taewang’s boss is looking for you?”
“… It’s probably to make sure I’m a technologist. The boss of Taewang already knows about the player.”
“What are you going to do? Are you going to meet Taewang’s boss?”
“That would be suicidal.”
“I don’t mind fighting them.”
“As for the moneylender case, it seems that the Gosanpa is somehow indifferent, but if another battle breaks out in Seoul, the police will not stand still. There is no reason to do anything stupid.”
Dr. Na stood up. Nervously, she began to organize her surroundings.
“What are you doing, don’t stay still and help me organize things. Since this location has been discovered, we must go somewhere else. He’ll probably be back here in a few hours.”
“Is there another place to live?”
“I have a place in mind.”
I got up from my seat. Following her instructions, I packed up the items and moved them to a truck hidden in the back of the thrift shop. Items that are difficult to move were placed in the disintegrator.
“Tear the car apart and put it in the disassembler. The resources are too precious to be abandoned.”
“… No, no matter how hard it is to break a car.”
My physical abilities are less than half of reality. It was difficult to dismantle without tools, let alone lift the car.
“Then just throw it away.”
I spent almost four hours sorting things out, packing them in the truck, and leaving. I drove the truck, and Na Chae-young banged her tablet PC in her passenger seat. Her mood was not very good. She glanced at the tablet PC and saw a plan chart.
“Things got messed up. She was about to start working on the fortifications…”
“Where are you going now?”
“Here.”
Kindly turned on the navigation app and showed it. I opened my eyes wide in an unexpected place.
“Songak Elementary School? Is that also in Gangseo-gu, Seoul?”
“The school closed two years ago when the number of students dropped. Even though it is in Seoul, the population of that neighborhood is small. Besides, rumors spread that it was an elementary school built on graves, so no one came close. Originally, it was planned to be used as a different building this year… It has been postponed for some reason because of political issues.”
“Is the doctor the owner of this school? That’s a lot of money.”
“It can’t be.”
“… Are you going to seize it?”
“Anyway, a zombie avalanche will happen in 30 days. Even if we’re trespassing, we can get past it. Just say it was an emergency.”
“I don’t think the government will like it. Is there any reason why you have to be here?”
“Because it’s Seoul.”
I tilted my head. Could that be the reason?
“… It’s the story of Eternal Eden, where players can choose their class and starting point before the game starts. So, which starting point would the player prefer?”
“… A great power?”
“That’s right. Because it is advantageous If a country has strength, even if something breaks out, it can be quickly dealt with. Originally, most of them chose the US. Because it has many advantages. Not a few players choose China. If you hold power well, in a sense you can grow faster than the United States.”
“Why did Dr. Na choose Korea?”
“There is less competition in the early stage than the US or China. Besides, the reason is that I was Korean.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not Seoul, right?”
“Seoul is the center of Korea. You need to be in Seoul to get resources more easily… Because the population is large, we can recruit good talent.”
After listening to it, I think what Na Chae-young said is right.
The truck continued into the school, and I checked the relatively quiet street. Seoul doesn’t necessarily have state-of-the-art buildings. Most of the buildings here are old. There were also quite a few empty houses.
“There is a back door at Sungak Elementary School. Even though the road is rough, it’s a good place to avoid people’s gaze. Let’s go back there.”
“Okay.”
There was a small mountain behind Sungak Elementary School. The back door was locked. Na Chae-young got out of her car, unlocked her school gate, opened the door, and got into the passenger seat again.
“Did you have the key? It’s also good.”
“Last time I came, I broke the old lock and replaced it with a new one.”
She was surprisingly good at acting.
We moved like thieves. No matter how closed the school was, if the lights were on, people would be suspicious, so the lights were kept to a minimum and the furniture was removed from the truck.
“Let’s start by setting up the furniture and lowering the gun. We’d better move the other machines tomorrow morning. The urgent thing is, of course, the generator.”
Fortunately, the electricity was cut off, but the water came out normally. Still, it’s a little reluctant to use it as drinking water right away, but it’s true.
“It’s groundwater. It doesn’t matter if you eat it.”
“I don’t drink unless it’s bottled water.”
“… Surprisingly, you have a high-class mouth.”
“It’s a problem because it’s too advanced.”
Na Chae-young and I looked around the school together.
The school has a total of 5 floors. There were three annexes to one main building. There was even a swimming pool in the basement of the annex. In the basement of the main building there was a boiler room and a storage room. The boiler was left for recycling purposes, but it was unknown how to use it. There were only old desks and chairs in the storage room. Most of it looks like garbage.
What I expected was the infirmary, but it was empty, including medicines and even a single bed. There is nothing in the science room except for the human body model. The music room was also empty. To put it bluntly, there is nothing but a boiler.
‘The reason Na Chae-young chose this school was because of the fence.’
The fence surrounding Seongak Elementary School was quite high at 5m. It’s hard to get over the fence without tools. It will be especially effective against zombies with low intelligence. In fact, the only openings for zombies to enter are the front and back doors. It means that if you block those two places well, it will be a safe place from zombies.
‘I’ll have to make sure there aren’t any dog holes tomorrow during the day.’
Na Chae-young and I put a bed in a room on the first floor of the main building.
“You use the bed.”
“What will my doctor do?”
“We have to re-plan. You’ve lost your place, and you must think of ways to use your powers. Above all else, I need to make a knife for you to use.”
“Come to work.”
I took off my clothes on the bed and said while I was naked. Even when Na Chae-young saw my naked body, she didn’t blush. She just frowns at her.
“I would have said I had work to do.”
“Did you forget the details of the transaction? One hour a day. I will use that hour now. No, it’s past midnight, can I use two hours?”
“… To be precise Are you going to spend an hour? Are you going to spend two hours?”
“One hour. What’s left will be used tomorrow.”
“…”
Na Chae-young walked over and sat down on the bed. She’s smart, so she’ll know what I want. If you don’t know my inclination after looking at my nymphomaniac characteristics, I’m an idiot.
“One hour a day, you decided to be my sword.”
“Instead, Na Chae-young becomes a woman for an hour a day.”
“… I’m going to earn time. I’m going to collect about 15 days and use it all at once.”
“Fortnight? Where are you going to use the knife?”
“There is a war weapons research institute in Gangwon-do. It’s under the Department of Defense, but it’s a secret research institute different from the Defense Science Research Institute. As the name suggests, it is a place where all kinds of weapons of war are researched and tested. We need the combat AI there.”
“How else do you know that?”
“Eternal Eden. This is one of the reasons why I chose Korea. One of the most valuable technologies in Korea is combat AI. Surely you wouldn’t reject it as dangerous?”
“It’s dangerous, but not impossible, right?”
If it’s impossible, I won’t even try. Na Chae-young saw my skills and judged that I had potential.
Chaeyoung Na nodded her head and sat down on her bed, setting her alarm on her smartphone. An alarm will sound in exactly one hour.
I confirmed that Na Chae-young’s shoulders were trembling slightly. She started during the day and she was trembling the whole time. She must be because of what happened during the day. Because she experienced murder for the first time in her life.
She grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her to her bed. The bed mattress was shaking. Na Chae-young, lying on her bed, looks up at me with her expressionless face. Even if she offered herself to me, she seemed unwilling to cooperate. It didn’t matter though. I smiled and started undressing her.
