Chapter 219
Episode 219 [Second Executor (1)]
One day ago.
Isabel, who woke up from fainting, did her best to create a portal from that day on.
We continued our painstaking efforts to collect the black smoke scattered in the air and turn it into a portal.
Failure continued and mana was depleted. But Isabelle had no intention of letting go of the string once she had caught it.
omg. omg.
That day too, Bailey was licking Isabelle, who was drenched in sweat and out of breath.
Shane watched it. There was no way to help her but to just watch.
Shane took the hat he was wearing and twirled it in his hand.
After a while, the spinning hat stopped.
“You can’t lose to a little kid.”
Shane didn’t put his hat back on and put it on the table next to him.
That night. Kyung-hoon took the time to come to this world.
There weren’t many times when Kyung-hoon came over because of what happened in the other world.
Kyunghoon was in a hurry today too. It seemed like I had to go back as soon as the time came.
But he didn’t skip checking on Isabel either.
“You are really enthusiastic. “He’s very talented and if he works hard like that, he’ll be able to create a portal in no time.”
Kyung-hoon looked at Isabel with a satisfied expression.
But Shane, who was standing next to her and watching Isabel, said something unexpected.
“When you go over this time, I’ll go with you.”
Kyunghoon blinked at Shane’s words.
“You mean the Jamsil hideout? “I don’t plan on stopping by there today?”
-I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about.
Kyung-hoon couldn’t understand it even more.
“Are you saying you’re going to the other dimension?”
“that’s right. Do I need to prepare something to move between dimensions?”
“No, it’s not like that, but…”
Kyunghoon looked at the robot’s camera with a disbelieving face. Of course, his expression was not visible on the camera.
Shane tilted his head.
“I guess I’d be useful, right?”
Kyung-hoon answered in an absurd voice,
“It’s not that useful. I welcome you with both hands. If you hadn’t rejected me before, I would have been singing for help every day.”
In Kyung-hoon’s world now, there were too few awakened people who could fight.
He prepared for two years, but as always, he was underprepared. If
Shane could help, he would be
very welcome. If Shane was a proper awakened person,
no, if his skills and experience were anything to go by, he would be like that in the other world. He might be superior to any awakened person.
“But you said you wouldn’t go to a world where robots aren’t recognized. That world still hasn’t created a proper AI.”
It was something Shane said himself, and his thoughts haven’t changed that much even now.
But in life, you can’t just do what you want to do.
Shane looked at the girl who was immersed in meditation. She had lost much of her youthful appearance now.
She was currently training alone to go to another world.
There was nothing Shane could do for her here.
Kyung-hoon and Eve were also having a hard time paying attention to this world right now.
An Earth-level wave had occurred in the other world. It was difficult to concentrate on this place.
Once Isabel completed the portal, it was clear that she would also go to the other world to help Kyung-hoon and Eve.
“I will be left alone, but it is impossible to fish in the sea off New York because of the sunken ships.”
Kyunghoon smiled at Shane’s words.
He didn’t say why, but Kyunghoon was just grateful that he changed his mind.
Eve probably knew the reason, but decided not to ask.
Kyunghoon patted his chest where his cell phone was placed and then nodded. He nodded,
“Okay, then let’s go together when we leave.”
Kyung-hoon headed to the warehouse to unpack the supplies, and Shane turned his head to look at Isabelle. He
seemed to have finished meditation.
Isabelle and Bailey were staring at him.
Shane walked up next to Isabelle.
“Did you hear?”
“yes.”
“Are you okay without me?”
“Are you going to stay there?”
“No, when Kyung-hoon comes, you have to come with him.”
“Well then, it’s just for a little while.”
Isabelle seemed unconcerned.
“You already wanted to go with us a long time ago, but you’ve been here all along because of me.”
“That’s…”
Shane tried to refute something, but Isabelle didn’t stop talking.
“I’ll be able to make a portal in a little while. Don’t worry, just come back.”
Shane looked at Isabelle.
She was right.
She no longer needed his protection. It was time to keep her promise to help Kyung-hoon. Woof! Woof
!
Bailey barked loudly next to her.
“Yes, Bailey, I’m relieved to have you.”
Shane patted Bailey’s head and stood up,
“Bailey, make sure you wake me up in the morning and don’t forget to eat.”
Woof! Woof!
Bailey responded to Shane’s words.
After that, after making preparations so that he could be alone with the girl, Kyung-hoon and Shane moved to another dimension.
Huaaaaaaa.
The bright light disappeared and a sight he had never seen before appeared in Shane’s eyes. There was
an endless sea, a breakwater, a pier, and rocky mountains and trees in the background.
But there were no signs of people living on the pier or the buildings.
Shane tilted his head.
“Where is this place? Is it a coastal port?”
Kyung-hoon shook his head,
“No, it’s an island.”
“Island?”
“Yes, Ulleungdo became uninhabited two years ago. Now I am the only one using it. It is my hideout.”
The place Shane arrived at was Ulleungdo, the 9th largest island in Korea and the furthest island inhabited by people.
“Is Ulleungdo an uninhabited island?”
“When monsters appeared in the sea two years ago, all the people who lived on this island evacuated to the mainland. Some people disliked them and some refused due to religious issues, but we could not leave them here.”
People had to be evacuated before monsters covered the sea and isolated the island.
Jeju Island, which was self-sufficient, and islands close to the mainland and with bridges were okay, but islands that were not were no longer habitable. “Furthermore, they were located
far from the mainland . “Ulleungdo could never be left uninhabited.”
Ulleungdo, which had been vacated in such a hurry, soon became Gyeonghoon’s base.
“EV has an island and there is a place where I can stay with close people in Korea, but I needed a hideout of my own where I couldn’t tell them.”
Before that, they had built a secret warehouse in the basement of the building, but it wasn’t a very safe place.
Kyung-hoon entered the naval base at the port.
It was a newly built, state-of-the-art building, but the building was empty and the dock was empty. The
same was true inside the building . It was.
The inside of the building was very cluttered, probably because they were in a hurry to get out.
However, the emergency exit light was on in the cluttered building.
Kyung-hoon passed the emergency exit light and stood in front of the elevator.
“It’s on the first floor, is there an elevator?”
-If it’s not up, it’s going down.
Kyung-hoon pressed the button, and the door opened right away.
The robot and the human entered the open door, and the elevator went down.
“We are remodeling a naval base hidden underground and using it as a warehouse and exhibition hall. . Items brought from the other world are also collected here.”
Gold bars, mana stones, cultural assets, and relics that could not be shown to people were all gathered here.
“I’ll show you that later, but first, let’s go to where the portal is.”
Ding.
As soon as Kyung-hoon finished speaking, the elevator stopped.
The door opened and Shane stopped on the spot and looked around.
An unexpected sight unfolded.
A large square, or rather a not-so-small pier, was spread out underground.
A concrete pier and a deep sea. . And various port facilities and repair equipment.
Everything was spread out under the high ceiling where the bedrock was exposed.
This was a huge underground cave with a large pier.
However, the sea was blocked by the rock wall and could not go out.
And next to the pier was a submarine. The ship was floating around.
-This is a secret submarine dock used by the Navy by remodeling an existing underground cave. -When the Navy
withdrew from Ulleungdo, this place was also closed.
-The submarine over there was damaged by an attack by underwater monsters. It looks like they took refuge here.
While Kyunghoon and Shane were walking, Eve explained about this place. -I
finished repairing the submarine, but the sea is like that, so unfortunately, I guess I have no choice but to stay here.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Golems passed by the two people passing through the square.
They were delicate and sophisticated construction robots, different from two years ago. They were
all robots following Eve’s commands.
In the center of the square. There was a large pattern drawn in the middle of the pier.
In the center was a round figure. A large pattern with a machine embedded in it.
It was a portal.
“Through this portal, you can go to Seoul. From there, you can also go to Manchuria or other places.”
Kyunghoon looked at Shane and scratched his head.
“What are you going to do? I think it would be difficult to just show you what you see… Could you please wait a moment until we create something like artificial skin here?”
Right now, there was no time to explain and make the AI with an ego understand.
In a sudden decision, Kyung-hoon had brought Shane here first.
Shane looked around.
On one side, there was a pile of things that humans had abandoned.
A military first-aid kit and A bandana, a canteen, a helmet, a poncho, and a raincoat.
Shane opened the first-aid kit and took out some bandages.
“You have the body armor you brought from New York, right?”
“I have one modified for EV special teams use.”
Kyunghoon took out a bulletproof vest from subspace.
Shane put on the bulletproof vest and bandaged his exposed hands and feet. He
then put the rolling helmet on his head.
Shane spread his arms.
“Isn’t it similar to Helmet Man? If you do this, you’re a robot.” “I don’t think you know.”
Shane, wearing EV’s special team uniform, bandages on his exposed hands, ankles, and neck, and a helmet on his head, did not look like a robot at all. Kyung-hoon looked at Shane with a gloomy expression. “You don’t look like a robot
.
”
“Okay then. Let’s leave. I won’t be busy.”
He was right.
Now is not the time to be depressed.
Kyunghoon and Shane climbed onto the portal.
-I will activate the portal.
Listening to Eve’s words, Kyunghoon opened his mouth.
“I will help you take off your helmet as quickly as possible. I will see what you see. “I won’t let anyone laugh at me when they see it, I promise.”
The man in the helmet raised his bandaged hand.
He gave a thumbs up towards Kyunghoon.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
-Go.
With Eve’s bright voice, the two disappeared on the portal.
After that day.
People got to meet the second Helmet Man.
The new EV enforcer carries a machine gun with bandages on his hands and feet.
People gave him a new nickname to distinguish him from Helmet Man.
Pleasant tone of voice and unusual greeting. And thanks to his exciting shooting, his nickname was easily earned.
‘cowboy.’
It was the nickname of the new executioner.
