I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 177 [ Put up a barricade. ]

Where there was a small pharmaceutical company not long ago, there are now buildings tens of stories tall.

These buildings housed the world’s first potion manufacturing company, famous for treating hair loss.

The company was conducting stricter surveillance than expected. Numerous CCTVs were monitoring the inside and outside, and guards turned on their eyes to check on visitors.

It was so thorough that there were rumors that there were awakened people among the guards.

And underneath the parking lot up to the 5th basement level, where the entire building group was connected as one, there were additional basement floors that people were not aware of.

It was an underground space for Kyung-hoon himself.

The 6th basement floor, which is the lower level of the parking lot that people don’t know about, looked like a huge warehouse or exhibition hall.

Giiiiiiing.

Warehouse robots were moving around and organizing items.

Unmanned forklifts moved pallets loaded with goods, and logistics robots with robotic arms sorted and displayed goods.

A Picasso painting was hung on one side, and a sculpture of a thinking man was erected next to it.

“Now the assortment is right.”

Kyunghoon smiled as he looked at the newly exhibited works.

Meanwhile, only one side of the warehouse was occupied by Korean artifacts brought from the airport.

Those were great items, but since there were Western works like this, it felt like there was a balance between East and West.

“If I had time, it would be nice to bring it from other countries too…” -After

all, I can only see it alone, right?

Unlike gold bars or jewels, relics or works of art could not be seen by people. The moment it was shown to the world, there were two identical works. Both were genuine, but no one thought so.

“The day will come when we can build an exhibition hall.”

Unfortunately, until then, I had no choice but to watch it alone.

The mana stones were organized separately. Perhaps because of the long hunt, the grade was higher than the mana stones of this world.

It was a waste to just use it for power plants. Kyung-hoon planned to use the mana stones he brought for items and accessories that Omar made.

‘And then there was this.’

Kyunghoon looked at his left hand. His wrist was filled with a bracelet studded with mana stones.

Kyung-Hoon put the mana into the bracelet with his palm up.

Wooooow.

The air stirred above my palm.

Kyunghoon put his other hand into his open palm.

The other hand slipped into the open left hand.

In reality, the other hand had entered the subspace that stretched above the hand.

Kyung-hoon took out the hand he had put in.

A long sword rose from the palm of my hand. It was a Samjeonggeom.

“Honestly, I like this one the best.”

Gold and silver treasures and works of art weren’t bad, but now that backpacks are becoming a thing, new subspace items were really necessary.

-But isn’t it difficult to take things out in front of other people unless they are bags?

“Well, you can put your hand in the bag and shake it.”

When Kyung-hoon turned his hand over and shook it, a pistol fell out of his palm. Kyung-hoon grabbed the gun.

“It’s better than a backpack because the entrance width can be adjusted to be quite wide.”

The backpack had a maximum entrance size, but this bracelet was able to extend the subspace entrance to a diameter of 1 meter.

The capacity was also much larger than that of the backpack. As expected, it was a country that held out until the end.

“What happened to Japan?”

-Contrary to expectations, preparations for war have not yet stopped.

Kyung-hoon shook his head at Eve’s answer.

“Preparing for war…”

-The wave hasn’t even ended, so I don’t know what I’m thinking.

Thanks to their experience in the other world, Kyung-hoon and Eve knew that monsters evolve like humans.

However, he had no intention of helping a country preparing for war.

“Send a warning to Russia, North Korea, and the South Korean government in the name of EV. “We also inform them of Japan’s war preparations.”

-All right.

If it was a war between humans, there was no need for EV to take part in person. As long as Japan was alone, other countries could easily handle it.

If he needed help, all he had to do was move Kyunghoon.

“But I don’t know why America is quiet in this situation. Are you trying to survive alone with a policy of national isolation?”

All troops dispatched to countries around the world withdrew, and all fleets that traveled across the ocean returned to the United States.

Thanks to this, the conflict worsened and the sea route became more messy, but the United States did not care.

-The political situation in the United States also seems to be in chaos. EV’s Americas branch is also not easy to manage.

After the route was cut off, the world became increasingly distant. Trade still continued, but companies withdrew their overseas branches and the government closed its embassies.

The tourism industry has already come to an end.

Thanks to Eve and Gyeonghoon, who can move through space, EV assets scattered around the world were still operating well. However, it was impossible to know when these assets would be taken away by the governments of each country.

It was for this reason that he worked hard to build a defense line.

Russia’s northern defense line. And the second line of defense is South Korea, home to North Korea. And the west.

“Are you ready?”

-yes. The test is starting soon.

“good. “Let’s go to Manchuria.”

Gyeonghun was considering the western defense line of the new country created in Manchuria.

A silver hole was created in the floor and Kyung-hoon jumped into it.

Autonomous robots continued to move and clean up the exhibition hall where people had disappeared.

No one knows, but this underground warehouse and exhibition hall is already filled with some of the world’s best artifacts and works.

***

Thanks to the domestic use of nuclear weapons and radioactive fallout, China was divided into several parts and was engaged in a civil war.

The existing Chinese government centered in Beijing and regional warlords divided by military district. They continued to fight with each other to create new borders.

However, the civil war was surprisingly not severe.

This was because the divided warlords all had nuclear weapons. If the fighting intensified, there was a small possibility that nuclear war would break out.

However, the northern region, which declared independence centered on Manchuria, was still fighting fiercely.

Their enemies were not other warlords. They were fighting monsters pouring out of Mongolia.

After the nuclear explosion, the monsters that did not die turned and headed toward Manchuria.

That was the Chinese Communist Party’s operation to protect the capital, Beijing, and the operation was successful to some extent.

*

Chaoyang City, 300km northeast of Beijing.

Although the city became a part of Manchukuo after the declaration of independence, Manchukuo was unable to continue to manage the city.

This was because the city was taken over by monsters even before independence.

If we poured in all our firepower and destroyed the entire city, we could kill all the monsters, but then there would be nothing left.

Moreover, there were still survivors left. They couldn’t rain shells on the city like they did in Beijing.

They had been encircling the area for a while, but the order to enter was finally given.

“Are you okay? “They say guns don’t work on the monsters in the city…”

A private soldier walking towards the city asked the non-commissioned officer in a trembling voice.

The sergeant quickly put a finger to his mouth.

Shh!

He peeked ahead. Fortunately, the awakened person didn’t seem to hear the soldier’s words.

“Speak down! “Awakened people have good ears!”

The sergeant scolded the soldier in a low voice.

The soldier who spoke covered his mouth with a surprised face. The sergeant spoke softly.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a different unit, but we are moving together with Junior High School Li Shiqian!”

“I don’t understand why a war hero moves with our platoon.”

Another soldier sighed in frustration.

Li Shiqian Middle School. He was a war hero who saved countless soldiers from a nuclear explosion and saved the 80th Army Group by gathering broken units.

After that, after being promoted several times, he became a representative of the military awakened group and entered the headquarters.

He suddenly appeared at the front line unit.

“It’s not just that. It seems that foreign awakened people have come to support other platoons. “I heard it came from a place called EV.”

“But I don’t know if this makes sense. “A cooperative operation between awakened and ordinary soldiers.”

Although they spoke in lower voices, the soldiers began to tell each other what they knew.

It was because everyone was worried about this operation.

Soldiers could easily deal with monsters that bullets could pass through. However, for a monster that guns do not work on, the soldiers with guns were just food for the monster.

Most of the monsters in Chaoyang City were monsters that guns were impervious to.

Is it because the soldiers’ voices grew louder? The awakened person glanced back.

The soldiers quickly closed their mouths.

Awakened Li Shiqian sighed inwardly.

He had better ears than any soldier knew. Thanks to this, he could hear everything his unit members were whispering.

‘I’m also skeptical… There’s no way ordinary soldiers would believe it.’

He looked at the spear in his hand with a shocked face.

The mana stone embedded in the spear handle was emitting a mysterious green light, and the spear made of alloy had a luxurious pattern engraved on it. At first glance, it was a very cool item.

But anyway, this item was a spear.

A spear used in the Middle Ages. Moreover, I couldn’t even throw this spear.

Having received help directly, he was able to force himself to believe in EV, but others could not easily believe it.

In order to get the approval of the leaders, he had no choice but to take action himself.

‘Well, if this operation is successful, we will be able to expand our influence within the leadership.’

I didn’t know if I could take control of the political situation with EV on my back.

When he remembered that, his expression became bitter.

Although he became independent to reject unreasonable orders, he still could not get out of the swamp of politics.

‘Only in this way will we be no different from the Beijing guys.’

It may have been because of that feeling of guilt that he came to the scene in person.

“We’re entering.”

A sergeant whispered quietly from behind.

While I was lost in thought for a moment, the troops were entering the city.

The city was different from other cities engulfed in war.

The windows were broken and blood was splattered everywhere, but the buildings looked fine on the outside.

But the soldiers crossing the streets did not relax.

Crumbling.

Just because the building was fine didn’t mean there weren’t monsters.

A huge rat sauntered out of the front door of the building.

“Why is this crazy rat so big?”

The rat seemed bigger than most cars.

“Follow the plan!”

The officer shouted to his troops.

The soldiers raised their guns. It was a monster that looked like a gun wouldn’t work at first glance, but orders took priority.

“Start shooting!”

Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

Bullets rained down on the monster.

Ti-ti-ta-ting!

As expected, the bullets didn’t even touch the monster’s body. They just bounced off the defense shield.

The monster shook its head as if it was bothered. It didn’t even tickle. The monster The prey’s attack was just cute.

It was then.

Boom!

A spear pierced through the monster’s defense shield.

It was a spear fired by Li Shiqian, who ran in while the monster was looking away.

Was it because the monster’s shell was thick? Unfortunately, the spear was a defense shield. It only barely pierced the shell.

However, Li Shiqian was able to smile brightly.

Clink!

This was because the moment the spear pierced the defense shield, the entire defense shield surrounding the monster was shattered.

Puff puck!

The bullets that were bouncing off began to lodge in the monster’s body. “ Keep

shooting!”

The officer shouted excitedly.

It was a strong and large monster even without a shield, but the bullets fired by the soldiers were armor-piercing bullets made to pierce body armor. If

fired together, it had enough firepower to kill an elephant. Without the shield, I was able to catch enough monsters.

thud!

Eventually the monster fell to the floor.

and!

The soldiers cheered. The Awakened helped, but anyway, he used a gun to catch a monster that guns did not work on.

Cheers could be heard from other places as well. It was a shout raised by another unit that entered the city.

Li Shiqian pulled the spear out of the monster’s body.

He looked at the window with a serious expression.

This was no ordinary item. It was an item that could instantly change the way you fight monsters.

EV was definitely different. While humans were fighting each other, EV was continuously creating ways to deal with monsters.

But he was also a little afraid.

“What on earth is EV preparing?”

He didn’t know where this fight would end or why EV would have to prepare such weapons without stopping.

But now was not the time to think about that.

The city had to be taken back and the monsters driven out of Manchukuo.

After that, we had to take power and strengthen our connection with EV.

He grabbed his spear and stepped forward.

The unit members followed with bright faces, and Chaoyang City was able to become a human city again.

Cities occupied by monsters were liberated one after another. The monsters were pushed out of Manchukuo.

Soon after, Manchukuo signed an agreement with EV.

Li Shiqian, the new president of Manchukuo, shook hands with the sunglasses-wearing CEO of EV. Li Shiqian firmly held the hand of the man who saved him.

“welcome.”

Kyunghoon smiled.

Manchukuo became an ally of EV following Russia and North Korea.
