I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 60 [ Wave (1) ]

Even though the load increased, it was not that difficult to get out of the city and break through the siege.

It was entirely possible to cross the wall and enter Turkey. However, getting on a plane and returning to Korea had to go through several steps.

The boy’s identity was an issue. Fortunately, I had two passports prepared in advance, a man and a woman, so if I had made a mistake, I would have been tied up in Turkey.

After resting for a day in Turkey to open the portal, the two arrived at Incheon Airport via Dubai and Hong Kong.

The story was that the boy, Omar, was a Hong Konger who came to Korea with Kyung-hoon’s identity guarantee.

There were many places where illegal and forgeries were involved, but fortunately we were not caught until we left the airport.

Kyung-hoon once again thanked Jin Xia-wei for his help.

‘If I had gone to the United States or Russia, I would have entered as a VIP instead of using a false passport like this…’

He felt a little sorry when he saw the boy holding his hand and looking around the airport.

But Omar didn’t care. I just looked around with a curious expression.

When I left the terminal and went to the parking lot, Jin Xiawei was waiting.

She looked surprised when she saw the boy next to Kyung-hoon.

“Oh my… it’s a child.”

She abandoned her listless expression and hugged Omar.

-In terms of age, he must have been in middle school….

Kyung-hoon looked at the surprised Omar and shrugged his shoulders. If the two got along well, Kyung-hoon would feel comfortable.

The three got in the car and returned home.

Jin Xiawei, who heard Omar’s age in the car, seemed a little surprised, but she hugged the short boy again.

-Are you saying it stimulates maternal instinct?

Kyung-hoon couldn’t answer Eve’s question.

Fortunately, the three had no difficulty talking.

Both Jin Xiawei and Omar could speak English, and Kyunghoon had Eve, an all-purpose translator.

The three returned to the officetel in time. But Kyung-hoon and Omar could not rest.

“Shouldn’t we have a welcome party?”

Jin Shawei headed toward the city center, dragging the two people who had unpacked their luggage.

The place she headed to was her bar.

It hasn’t opened yet, but the interior decoration has been completed.

Jin Shawei raised his finger and scanned the bar.

“I decorated it as a ‘classic bar’ because I wanted to set it up with jewelry. How does it look?”

Kyunghoon looked around the bar.

Various alcoholic beverages were lined up on the shelf behind the luxurious long table, and luxurious tables and seats were sparsely placed behind it.

Tables covered with glass tubes were arranged between the tables. The back was where jewelry and accessories would be set.

Even to Kyung-hoon, who doesn’t know much about bars, it looked very classy.

She smiled when she saw Kyung-hoon’s expression.

“It was rather difficult to find a bartender. I’ll introduce you to the owner when we officially open.”

Jin Xiawei said as he laid out beer and chicken on the table.

“Why chicken and beer? I came to the bar…”

“It hasn’t opened yet. When it opens, I’ll officially invite you.”

She smiled at the confused boy.

“Since a new family member has come to Korea, we should treat them the Korean way.”

It seemed like he only bought it out of annoyance, but Kyung-hoon didn’t have any complaints.

“But there are no drinks. Omar is not old enough to drink yet.”

She tilted her head at Kyung-hoon’s words.

“Huh? I heard you’re in your mid-teens. Then you have plenty to eat.”

“I’m a minor…”

“It’s not rum, it’s beer. I bought beer on purpose because I said I was a minor.”

Kyung-hoon could not help but shake his head at Jin Xia-wei’s words. I couldn’t help but wonder about the environment in which she grew up.

gulp.

But Omar went one step further. While the two were talking, they were drinking beer from the bottle.

This kind of alcohol was not unfamiliar to him. There was no reason to discriminate between age and drink on the battlefield.

Kyunghoon raised both hands.

The three started a chicken and beer party.

Jin Xiawei seemed to like Omar very much.

She took Omar to her Korean language school and to the factory and bar.

Because Jin Xiawei was young, they didn’t seem like mother and son, but the aunt and nephew almost seemed like siblings, with a huge age difference between them.

“Still, it’s impossible. It looks so different.”

Kyung-hoon, who was sitting in his studio watching the two people, shook his head.

Jin Shawei and Omar were working in a studio separated by a partition.

Jin Xiawei was making a bomb while frowning, and Omar was looking at a shield with a symbol on it and drawing lines on a new shield.

Until recently, I had been using the factory alone, but now it felt crowded.

-There are only three people.

“Three people is a lot.”

Kyung-hoon, who was looking at the two with a full face, approached Omar.

A young-looking boy was sitting in front of the workbench and groaning.

At first glance, it seemed like child abuse, but Omar was only at the factory for a couple of hours.

He wanted to stay longer, but Jin Xiawei wouldn’t let him.

“How’s it going?”

“I think I know what those simple symbols mean.”

After all, it was right to leave it to the experts.

“But I think the awakened people at EV are really amazing. How can they make it like this already?”

-It can be made through repeated improvements in practice for nearly 10 years.

“The materials are also different. I just made it with ordinary dye, but these people drew patterns with amazing materials.”

Although he was a passive and quiet child, he became a different person when he made objects and talked about their characteristics.

Omar continued speaking as he drew a line on his shield.

“Because the materials are different, when you use the properties to change the properties of the material, the performance changes.”

He put his hand on his shield. The line he drew began to shine.

Ugh.

The light soon disappeared and the ordinary dye turned into a line radiating mysterious energy.

We were able to find out why the ingredient analysis had failed so far.

Since the characteristics of the material were changed using properties, there was no way it could be identified using analysis equipment.

“You can change it by dipping your hand in the dye, but it is not easy to capture the image. You have to change the way you use the characteristics depending on the use. It is most stable to change it after drawing.” -I think that was the reason why the master kept failing

.

Since the materials scraped from various equipment were mixed together, it was surprising that even one piece was made properly.

A moment later, a new shield with a pattern was placed in front of Kyunghoon.

It was simpler than the equipment with complicated patterns in his backpack, but it functioned without a problem.

Kyung-hoon, holding the shield, smiled as he felt the mana flowing from his hand.

Alchemist and blacksmith. The Awakened Association and EV.

The cornerstone has been laid.

Now it was time to build a house.

***

Time passed.

The number of subscribers to the EV website exceeded 1,000, and the number of members of the Korea Awakened Association exceeded 20.

Of course, there were more awakened people registered, but not all awakened people in Korea became members of the association.

Awakened people sometimes belonged to the government or entered corporations.

Other countries were similar. More and more awakened people were coming out into the world.

However, after the demonstration by the Korean Awakened Association, no further mutant hunting by the Awakened took place.

Officially, governments have not left mutant hunting to the Awakened. The problem could be resolved with existing public power, but there was no way to give the opportunity to those ignorant people.

Of course, many tests were being conducted in secret, but few people knew about them.

Rather, the awakened people were becoming a problem due to another problem.

Manuus, an inland city in Brazil.

The same story was playing on the TV hanging in the Police Special Operations Battalion (BOPE) branch.

[Awakened crime is rampant in many countries. In Brazil, robbers, including a group of agitators, attacked a cash vehicle and robbed one million reais. There is talk that the laws against awakened people need to be strengthened. ]

Marcelo looked at the TV and clicked his tongue.

“Awakened people are just the same people, but there’s no way there aren’t criminals. Moreover, if they have powers like Superman, there’s no way they can stay quiet.”

“I think it would be a good idea to catch it and throw it into the Amazon.”

A junior next to him agreed with him.

“You’re talking about killing them all. Can you survive just because you’ve become stronger?”

Marcelo shook his head.

The Amazon was a place where no one could tell how many mutant monsters had increased.

It has been a long time since we lost contact with the indigenous people who lived in the Amazon.

The government tried to step in and check several times, but only suffered huge losses and withdrew.

“It’s not easy to catch one that jumps out of the jungle, but if you put it in there, it wouldn’t last even a day, right?”

“It’s to the point where I don’t know if I really joined BOPE or became a hunter.”

Marcelo also sighed at his junior’s lament.

Manuus was a large city with a population of 2 million, but unfortunately it was located in the middle of the Amazon River. The monster’s damage was significant.

BOPE also had to deal with mutant monsters more than it did with gangsters and robbers.

Marcelo looked at the distant horizon.

It wasn’t visible because it was obscured by buildings, but the jungle was not far from the city.

“We really should have abandoned the city like Marcelo said.”

BOPE was well aware of the dangers of monsters as it had been dealing with monsters for so long.

As the person in charge of the scene, Marcelo went after the police officers and the mayor’s office to say that the city should be abandoned, but everyone only gave them a murmur.

“The guys coming out of the jungle are getting stronger, but how strong are the guys inside…”

The junior was worried about the strength of the guys inside, but Manuus was more worried about something else.

It was clear that the monsters were also living things. If their numbers increased, there would be a shortage of food, and if there was a shortage of food, they had no choice but to move.

Grumble.

And now his worries have become a reality.

A sound like thunder was heard from the jungle outside the city.

A black wave spread out over the jungle and rushed towards the city. These were birds living in the Amazon.

It was a new time when the sky was dark. People were frightened and clung to the windows.

Weeeeing.

The emergency bell on the wall of the BOPE branch screamed and cell phones rang in unison.

The members at the branch packed their equipment with stern faces.

The junior who was always scoffing at him also looked at Marcelo with a pale face.

“I guess that’s what Marcelo was worried about…”

Marcelo inserted the magazine without saying a word.

The TV screen that had been criticizing the Awakened for a while changed.

[This is a special report! This is a video sent to us by our reporter who was just filming a documentary in the lower Amazon. After the video, contact with the reporter was lost.]

Along with the announcer’s urgent comment, a video of giant monsters running and destroying trees was played on TV.

A variety of terrifying monsters attacked the screen, from monsters the size of cars to monsters larger than buses.

The screen stopped and the announcer continued.

[It’s not just where the reporter was. Reports are coming in from many places. All over Amazon! Everyone living near the Amazon is advised to evacuate!]

The screams of monsters could be heard on the screen.

Kuaaaaang!

Marcelo and the crew could also hear the screams.

A roar came from far away in the jungle outside the city.

The first wave has begun.
