Chapter 2152 – 2152. Eternal Eden
Irina has been going crazy lately.
It was because the residents of her 101st building demanded a solution to all the problems that had just erupted from her.
“I need food! I was so hungry yesterday that I even passed out!”
Cried the self-proclaimed starving woman. She looked good for starving. Since the world is the world, we have emergency food hidden in the house. Even if there was no immediate food aid, there was no such thing as immediate starvation.
“The 103 guys are going to fight again! They must be taking it easy on us! We have to show them a lesson!”
The residents of Building 101 were highly poisoned by the incident that had happened the other day. When I recall only Building 103, it was crying out for battle. But do you fight with Building 103 here? It just meant everyone died. No, Seong Yu-jin will step in, so only 101 buildings will be lost.
“Sung Yujin. He only favors Building 103. I heard that Building 103 is hosting Seong Yu-jin… We do too. That way you won’t be discriminated against.”
In short, let’s bribe. However, those around him frowned and objected to his opinion. It meant that there was nothing to offer. In fact, he didn’t want to give up his own. You don’t want to take a loss.
“Helminth! You must kill the parasite! We are all going to die from parasites!”
Others told more fundamental stories.
But there was no way to tell the parasite apart. I couldn’t just kill it because I suspected a parasite. Voting has also been suspended. Even if parasites were suspected, they could not be killed.
“Miss Irina. We cannot stay still like this.”
“Miss Irina. I need food!”
“Miss Lana! You must make a decision! Make a decision!”
Her Irina’s eyes died every time her own name was called here and there. She was regretting it now. Had she known it would be like this, she would not have become a peer. What would you say to me in this situation? There are no solutions to all problems.
I should have definitely turned down the same representative seat last time… Not to be preoccupied with a little food.
It was better when Shin Ji-hoon, the former representative of Building 101, was alive. Back then, all he had to do was keep quiet.
“Everyone! It’s overheated! Calm down for now! Isn’t Irina-san also in trouble!”
A young man stepped forward and calmed the residents. Woo Tae-hyun. He was a man who always helped Irina. He was close to the deputy representative of the 101st East. She was also the cause of Irina becoming her co-leader. Because Woo Tae-hyeon recommended Irina as her co-representative.
Woo Tae-hyun smiled at her Irina. Man nice smile. However, Irina was burdened. Even though Woo Tae-hyeon draws a line, he tries to cross that line by a narrow margin. I know you’re a good person… He was a bit of an annoyance to Irina.
The eyes of the residents are focused on him. Sweat dripped down Irina’s blonde hair, wearing her hood. She didn’t like to go out in front of people.
“Well, let’s watch for now.”
“You want to just watch? If you stay still, you will become a Hogu!”
“…”
“Miss Irina. I have to make a decision!”
“…”
“My friend is dead! The bastards from Building 103 shot them!!”
“…”
People didn’t want to stay still. Irina forced her mouth open.
“… Food aid will come soon. We’ll make sure we distribute food, so she won’t starve to death. The problem with Building 103 is… I’ll talk to Yebin unnie. I don’t think it’s a problem we can solve alone. No battle. I’ll talk to Eugene Seong, who is also an expert on parasites.”
“No, you’re leaving everything to someone else, right?”
“Isn’t Building 103 not ignoring it if we take the initiative to solve it?”
“Sung Eugene is an expert? It’s just crazy.”
“Rather. How would you rather leave the apartment? I heard that Seongak Elementary School is a good place to live because there are no parasites and there are many people…”
Before people get excited again, Woo Tae-hyun stepped out.
“Come on, calm down. Let’s wait as Irina said. You can’t hold out until the next ration comes. And it is better to solve problems through dialogue. Parasites have no choice but to be careful as of now.”
The 101 motion meeting was concluded. People disperse. Several men glanced at Irina. Even if she wears a hood and a mask, you can tell she is a beauty just by her exposed eyes. In particular, her dynamite body is not easily covered even with a puffy jumper.
“Miss Irina. Are you tired? Go in and rest. I will take good care of people.”
“… I’m sorry it seems like you’re only entrusting things to Taehyun.”
“Are you okay. I’m helping Irina because I like it. Oh, would you like to have dinner together in the evening? There is a hidden ramen.”
“… Sorry. I think that would be a bit difficult.”
He knew from long ago that Woo Tae-hyeon was fond of him. However, Irina had no interest in Woo Tae-hyun. No, there wasn’t much of her own interest in her other people. She said that the only thing that mattered to her was basically herself.
“Are you going to go in the room and spy on him again today?”
“Yes. Just in case.”
Irina broke up with her Woo Tae-hyeon and went into her own house. There were only four door locks. She couldn’t help it. Because of her innate beauty, she gets caught up in an unwanted accident. So far, more than seven men have tried to break into her house.
Irina went to the veranda window and sat down with her bow. A monster cat basked in the sun below, and she was grooming. It was one of the variants circling the outskirts of Saetbyeol Apartment. My name is Butterfly. It was a cat raised on the street by a cat mom who was an apartment resident. Cat Mom was eaten by a cat.
Even if it was boring and annoying, she continued to watch. The moment that cat enters the apartment, catastrophe will happen.
‘Even if the apartment is messed up right now, it will be sorted out soon. If you think rationally, you will know that now is not the time to fight each other. If things get serious, Yebin will intervene. Just like it has been until now.’
Seong Yoo-jin… I don’t know. She is a person who does herself a favor, probably because of her appearance. She’s a person with that much power, but he might be a good person in that he doesn’t force himself on anything.
‘A good person… No How many people have died since he came?’
She was not resentful. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a bible that resented the death of others. She just wishes it would pass quietly.
Two hours later, Irina was called by Sung Eugene. Considering Sung Yu-jin’s status in the apartment, she couldn’t help but go.
Seong Yu-jin and Choi Hye-jin were eating.
Galbijjim.
High-quality food that cannot be compared to canned food or ramen. It was food that made one’s mouth salivate just by smelling it.
“Hyejin Choi. Don’t just eat meat.”
“Okay. Okay.”
“Don’t just eat meat.”
“… You are eating potatoes too.”
Seong Yu-jin shook her head and invited Irina.
“Wouldn’t you like to eat together? The quantity is sufficient.”
“… No. Are you okay. Why did you call me…”
“I have news to inform only the same representative. Did you know that food aid is coming the day after tomorrow? I just got a call from the government, and the amount of food aid has been reduced by a third.”
“… Yes?”
“If you watch the news, you will know, but I heard that the variant in Mokpo was caught and restored. They say that support supplies go in first and food aid will be reduced for the time being. All the people join forces and say blah blah… This is a decision made by the government, not me. I can’t help it.”
“… Then food distribution…”
“It should be divided as equally as possible. Ah, what I’m eating right now is from Seongak Elementary School.”
Can’t you support me at Seongak Elementary School? I couldn’t ask the question. Because the answer is obvious.
“Do you want to eat braised ribs?”
“… No.”
“We will start voting the day after the food arrives. Are there any suspected parasites?”
“No.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“The people in Building 101 were suspicious of you.”
“Yes?”
“You say you’re always locked in your room? They said it was a parasite. All the people in Building 101 I interviewed with today pointed at you. If this happens, I have no choice but to put you on the execution table.”
“…”
She said nothing Because her hair turned white. Her blue eyes fluttered relentlessly, and her heart raced madly.
“I-I am not a parasite.”
She was so upset that even her voice trembled.
“Of course I think so. But it doesn’t look like the people from Building 101?”
“Who. Who snitched on me?”
Everyone in Building 101. Even though Seong Yu-jin had said that earlier, Irina was distracted and asked back. All you have to do is go back and find out the villager you interviewed today. However, Seong Yu-jin kindly showed her the list.
Building 101 interviewed 11 people. Among them was Woo Tae-hyun.
“Do you know a man named Woo Tae-hyun? They were sure you were a parasite.”
Irina was dizzy. Woo Tae-hyun is trying to kill himself? Why? Did you covet the same representative position? Then you can ask for it I had no interest in such a burdensome place.
“I think Woo Tae-hyun and these guys have different intentions. I think the CEO is Woo Tae-hyun… Coveting the same representative position… He must be trying to scare you.”
“… What are you doing by scaring me?”
“Well. Gaslighting?”
“…”
“What are you going to do?”
“… What should I do? The people in Building 101 follow Woo Tae-hyeon better than I do. Even if I insist on something, if Woo Tae-hyun opposes it, he won’t listen. How… How should…”
Irina’s body trembled. These political issues were not zero. All she had on her mind was running away. But where should she run away? Seong Eugene gently touched her shoulder as she fell into panic.
“Calm down. I’m on your side. I will help you. I am the manager of the vote. Execution is ultimately my heart. If I refuse, nothing happens. You will not be executed.”
It would have been astonishing if anyone else had heard of it. But strangely, she felt reassured by Irina’s words.
“… Eugene.”
The highest power is on their side? Even if I don’t do anything, I’ll take care of it? For a moment, Irina looked very cool in Seong Yujin. Why does she say that she understands that a man with ability is the best?
“What is Eugene? They look similar in age, but just call me Eugene.”
“Oh, no. I am comfortable with this.”
“What if it’s convenient? I think we’ve become friends. Would you like a drink? And watch some TV.”
Irina suddenly came to her senses. Seong Yu-jin felt like a man playing tricks on him. Isn’t that some kind of flirting?
Just like before, it was hard to refuse. Didn’t he say that Seong Yu-jin helped him? And in the living room he pointed to, there was a daily life that he couldn’t see recently, such as TV and cola. There was also a woman named Choi Hye-jin here.
“Joe, just a little…”
Irina sat down on the sofa. The cold cola I drank in almost three months was thrilling to the point of tears. The ice cream he recommended for dessert also melted in her mouth.
Most of the news was on TV. The contents are related to Mokpo. What Sung Yu-jin said was true.
• • •
Voting, which had been suspended, resumed.
The apartment atmosphere is shit. After I came, close to 100 residents died, so it was natural if it was natural.
“Today we vote for 10 people. The first target… Irina.”
Irina, who was in the crowd, was startled. She looked around.
Woo Tae-hyun vomited anger with a shocked expression.
“What bastards dare to kill Irina-san… ! Don’t worry, Mr. Irina! I will vote her no for her Ms. Irina!”
“…”
Irina clamped her mouth shut. She quietly stepped forward. She met her eyes with hers. She also met yesterday for an interview. She informed Irina that not only 101, but also some people from 102 and 103 had snitched on Irina.
She and she even informed Woo Tae-hyeon of meeting other people from Dong. She made her deal to win Irina’s vote against her. Funny enough, Lee Ye-bin and Kim Sang-ki accepted the deal. They saw Woo Tae-hyeon as her peer, not Irina.
‘Woo Tae-hyun, you bastard. I used some of her hair to have Irina.’
A benefactor who saved me from the brink of death. When she succeeds, she cannot help but harbor feelings beyond trust.
‘But it doesn’t work. Irina is mine.’
While thinking about how to kill Woo Tae-hyun, Woo Tae-hyun was passionately appealing to people for Irina’s innocence.
“Ms. Irina is absolutely not a parasite! I can risk my life! Everyone! Trust me and Irina! I will take full responsibility! Don’t forget what Irina has done for us!”
I threw a small pebble at Woo Tae-hyeon. Blood spattered from his forehead.
“Shut up, kid. It’s been fucking noisy since before. Start voting without procrastination. From Irina. Irina. One minute for her self-advocacy.”
Irina’s and her eyes met. I nodded her head at her.
“… As a fellow representative, I was not trusted by people. It must be that I don’t deserve it. I will quit the same representative. And I… It is not a parasite.”
She shut her mouth as if she was done talking.
She didn’t beg for life like everyone else. She didn’t even cry and plead. Woo Tae-hyun was taken aback by his confident and calm attitude.
“Irina is not a parasite! I bet my work! I guarantee it with my life!”
Taehyung Woo shouts. I ran to Woo Tae-hyeon and threw a porridge. Two of his front teeth were smashed.
“You bastard. Why are you fucking with me I never gave you permission to speak.”
“Uh, uh… Irina has a parasite… No…”
“It is very tearful. Start voting.”
342 in favour, 308 against, 245 abstentions.
It was the result of manipulation. Originally, there were 417 negative votes.
Irina sat down involuntarily. Her insides repeatedly contracted and expanded. I approached her shocked. It’s covered by a baggy jacket, but… Seeing that it smelled like weed, he seemed a little tired. It wasn’t surprising. Among those sentenced to execution, there were quite a few who were bored.
It seems you don’t trust me 100%. Well, it wasn’t even that close.
“What?!”
Woo Tae-hyun is shocked. He looks around him as if he has been betrayed and glares at Buildings 102 and 103 as if they were going to kill him.
I declared to people
“Irina is not a parasite. Guaranteed in my name. The cubs are parasites, so they will be executed.”
