The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Nampo Port.

It is a North Korean trading port in Nampo, located right next to Pyongyang.

In the past, trade was active, but due to unprecedented US sanctions on North Korea, there was little activity other than trade with China.

The economic impact was, of course, enormous, leading to economic collapse.

And, of course, the damage caused to him went to the North Korean people.

rising prices and decreasing wages.

As a result, the people are starving.

Rice for humanitarian aid for this purpose was unloading from a large boat.

"Come on, pull it up as it is, it's good."

On the ship, Koreans were carrying rice using forklifts.

Thousands of rice were unloaded from the boat and loaded onto the train.

Sungjin took off his work clothes and secretly looked at the scene from the boat.

'A lot.'

It is about 50,000 tons of rice.

Although the amount is insignificant compared to 9 years ago, in reality, the amount was huge.

Recently, South Korea and North Korea have not provided rice support for nine years as relations deteriorated.

Exactly when I was MB, it was done only once and then I quit.

Then, as negative perceptions about nuclear weapons and provocations spread, the rice support was stopped.

And negative perception of this spread.

But it wasn't too bad of a support one by one.

In the beginning, the places where this rice could be used were limited.

This rice, which has been improved to suit Korean tastes, is difficult to resell and has a short shelf life because it has already been polished.

About six months, this is hard to use as military food unless a war is started right away.

There was rice support through WFP just in case, and they promised to send agents to monitor whether rice was properly distributed to the extent possible.

Thanks to these efforts, the United States, which is imposing sanctions on North Korea, also granted assistance.

'… I can't say it's completely harmless though. I'll just let you do this.'

The cost of rice and transportation is all borne by Korea, so it costs more than you think.

Still, it was much better than secretly smuggling coal or giving it in cash.

Agents were seen inspecting each rice and getting on the train.

Among them, Seongjin looked at what seemed to be going to Pyongyang for a moment, and then immediately drew attention.

Originally, I was going to take that train to Pyongyang.

Since North Korea is Pyongyang, I thought it would be Pyongyang if we were to gather information, but before coming here, we changed our plans after hearing the story from the broker.

'Monsters that hunters cannot read monster information.'

The experiment we saw earlier at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima.

Animals and monsters that became monsters there were just like that.

Because it does not exist in another world, it is not recognized as a monster.

If that's the case, then these guys would transform animals or humans into monsters and then release them in North Korea, and there was no way such a monster would appear in Pyongyang.

Even if it's North Korea, it's clear that it's guarding it as well as Pyongyang.

That's why we investigate other places except Pyongyang first.

Because if you investigate monsters, you might be able to find out where the monsters originate as well.

🥺🥺🥺-

Dozens of the shadows of the Shinigami escaped from the shadow of Seongjin.

"Heh, heh heh..."

A skinny, short, tall man in a military uniform was running down the mountain road.

As he exhaled, he desperately descended the mountain without slowing down at all.

If he accidentally sprained his leg, he could roll off a steep mountain pass and die.

He was better off than being caught up in being behind him.

"Chwiik-"

Orcs' harsh noses.

It was the monster that gave so much attention at school.

I had heard of monsters appearing before, but it was my first time seeing them in person.

I heard that monsters appear more frequently these days, but maybe that's why I got caught while stealing potatoes.

His gun had been thrown away.

He even tried to kill the orc by shooting at first.

But he didn't get hit most of the time because he had never practiced shooting.

Rather, he attacked them and only aroused their anger.

His companions were killed by the swarm of orcs that followed him, and he threw away his heavy gun and fled.

'If you answer, it's over. Dom needs to run away faster... .'

It wasn't just about going fast. You have to get rid of that monster.

Or I have to return to the military base... He ran like crazy and got lost on the road.

He was wrong in thinking that if he went into the mountain without thinking, they wouldn't be able to chase him.

It looked like a pig, but it was extremely fast, and it rode mountains well.

So he had no choice but to run faster than before.

"Heh heh. Heh-"

My eyes were blurry and my steps were heavy because the oxygen wasn't properly supplied to my brain.

Sweat dripped down like rain, and the uniform was clinging to his skin.

I felt a bad feeling of discomfort.

"Ah."

He finally found a way.

It is a path that looks dreary with a cloudy view, but it is a path that has been passed many times.

Just go down the mountain this way and you'll see your comrades scouting.

This time was for sure.

Hope is visible.

Dopamine was released from the brain, expressing joy.

My body was energized and my legs felt lighter.

Like-

Cheeky-

I feel like I have no legs.

Although I fell, I got up right away with my arms on the ground.

The orcs were still chasing them from behind.

There is still hope, but it has not arrived.

Because of the dopamine that was released from the brain, there was no pain.

But it wasn't the only thing that didn't feel pain.

“Everything… legs…”

It was only now that I noticed the feeling that my legs felt empty beyond being light.

It was never dulled by dopamine or adrenaline.

was cut off

The leg, which was cut off from the knee, is rolling on the ground.

Blood spewed out of the cut surface, and he could no longer move.

On the contrary, he had never felt this pain before.

"Chwiik-"

"Chwi-ik."

Whoops, whoops-

An orc bit off his severed leg as if chewing his pig's foot.

Another orc bit off the other leg, and a crunching sound was heard.

And the rest of the orcs surrounded themselves one after another.

Drooling seemed to mean eating himself.

'Ah, the dam.'

Orcs reach out their hands.

A wretched arm grabs the whole body, and an orc pulls out his sword.

Maybe it's cutting it down so that everyone can eat it.

… gave up

put strength in the body.

Even if it wasn't, it was hard to run, but I was dazed when bleeding occurred.

I closed my eyes slowly.

I couldn't see it even if I opened it anyway, and my eyelids were heavy and it was hard to open.

That was when I half lost consciousness.

"Is it a pig this time?"

The last thing I heard was the words of South Korea.

👌👌👌👌👌

The last thing he saw was the red blood of the orcs.

***

Tackle-

Seongjin grilled meat in a burning bonfire, waiting for the person he saved this time to wake up.

It had been three days since he had been here, but she could not be properly informed.

He has already traveled all over North Korea.

The Grim Reapers looked for anything suspicious, and monsters chased or hunted them.

Most of the monsters were orcs or minotaur-like monsters, and no humanoid monsters were seen yet.

Obviously, when humans became monsters, various monsters were mixed.

There was a high possibility that only the failed monsters were released.

'I can investigate by myself, but I've researched everything up to now.'

But she didn't get good results.

I thought that if I traced back the monsters, I would be able to see where they came from, but the results came out slower than I expected.

Alone also has its limits.

So now the situation is pretty good.

"Ummm..."

A North Korean soldier who had lost consciousness rose in pain and shook his head.

Then, startled, he got up and rubbed his legs.

The leg that had fallen off was clearly attached.

It was pasted by Sungjin through initial recovery. It was before the orcs had finished eating their legs, so he could barely attach them.

Seongjin changed her eyes to those of a snow girl and looked into his eyes.

The moment his white eyes lit up his eyes, his judgment dropped.

"Are you ready? You're very dehydrated, so let's drink some water and eat some meat together."

"Oh, thank you."

The man answered Seong-jin with a hazy mind and ate the water he received from Seong-jin, and then ate the meat.

He didn't think of Sungjin's appearance and tone as strange.

Considering that this is North Korea, there is nothing wrong with being misunderstood as a spy, Seong-jin from South Korea.

It was thanks to Snow Nyeo's hypnosis that she used as her mutation skill.

Of course, it was not without restrictions.

Rather, it belonged to many.

First of all, it can only be done with a single target, and the duration is also not very long.

The effect was also just a slight movement of judgment, attention, and emotion.

It could be said that it was a sub-skill of the taming skill that completely obeys the monster.

But it wasn't without its advantages.

Unlike the taming skill, this can be used for people other than monsters, and above all, if you use taming, the target monster loses its memory, but this was not the case.

There were few skills as good as this to get information.

So now the situation is good.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

The position of the benefactor who saved his life and the situation where there is only one person.

It was appropriate to bring out information while having a conversation.

As much as Nurari said taming skills were their specialty, most North Koreans acted as if they were tamed, but this hypnosis wouldn't be affected by it either.

"Eat slowly. I won't steal it."

"Ah, I'm sorry. Mr. Ryopsa. You can't eat the rice that's gone bad lately. I don't know if you're your own meat."

"is that so."

Seongjin said that and ate the meat.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Fortunately, the source of the meat was not asked.

The meat I'm eating now is oak meat.

Living in a different world, knowing that the meat of monsters is quite delicious, I have been eating this meat here as well.

I would like to give the battle food I bought with points, but I couldn't give it because it was an item.

'Well, it's because it tastes better.'

Seeing his happy expression on his face, the tension seemed to have completely relaxed.

If you are talking, there is no time to do it alone.

"There are a lot of monsters these days. Where do they really come from?"

"I don't know either. My comrades didn't seem to know, and up to the president, they mostly appeared in the north, but the ten directions come all the way to the south, and it's like Irida Michu."

"Isn't the principal not mobilizing a hunter?"

"I'm more serious about the safety of the leader. It's in Peyang."

I asked about the information I knew about, and when I looked at the easy answers, it looked like a person with wider feet than I thought.

It's a bit difficult to understand because it's North Korean, but I can understand it roughly.

Then you will know this too.

"Have you not been collecting people or animals recently?"

People and animals needed to create monsters.

If you only find out about them, you will be able to find out the location of Nura-ri as well.

And this would be impossible to collect unless you publicize them extensively.

"People? Animals? And, I see, recently, a lot of people have been dragged to the Kyohwaso and the Kwanliso. I've said nothing about being dragged away even with a little bit of fuss. Animals were... given a lot when the chief was born. Why? And..."

Sungjin listened to him and nodded his head.

And he realized what he had missed.

This is North Korea, where socialism is rampant. So that means it can be coercive.

And the most inconspicuous method of its coercion was the use of criminals.

"Thanks for the story. May I ask you one last thing?"

Seongjin said as he pulled out a magic stone from his inventory.

After showing him the usual bribe, the man opened his eyes wide and wiped his oily lips and said:

"Of course I do."

His eyes were full of greed.

The country where bribery is most common is North Korea.
