I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 61 [ Wave (2) ]

Basement of the White House in Washington.

The people who move the United States, and indeed the world, were gathered in the White House Situation Room.

From the president to heads of administration, security advisers to generals.

They were all listening to the national intelligence chief’s briefing with serious expressions.

“The mutant rampage in the Amazon that occurred yesterday caused great damage to several South American countries. Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru, which span the Amazon rainforest, were affected. In particular, Brazil, which makes up most of the region, suffered the most damage.”

The screen the intelligence officer was pointing to showed a map of South America colored red.

“Each country is deploying police and military forces to deal with it, but unlike the other three countries, Brazil is in a desperate situation to stop it. One-third of the country is the Amazon rainforest. The front lines are so long that cities inside the rainforest cannot even be approached. there is.”

The President asked a question with a sombre expression:

“Has the cause been identified?”

“The cause is the monsters inside the Amazon that had been left alone for so long. The number of monsters continued to increase, so the monsters were unable to withstand and poured out all at once.”

A graph was drawn on the screen. It was a graph showing the accumulated amount when the monster was not dealt with. The

line graph gradually went up and stopped at some point.

“Growth should stop when food runs out, but instead, another method should be used. “It was chosen.”

“Why didn’t I expect this before?”

The head of national intelligence looked embarrassed in response to the president’s subsequent question:

“Too many theories have been poured out. Since this was a first-time experience for humanity, I couldn’t tell which was the correct answer. We also mentioned to be careful about EV, but it was only a passing comment and was included in several research projects.”

When the word EV came out, everyone looked upset. The president also asked the next question with a bad look on his face.

“Is there any damage on our side?”

“We are identifying Americans who have visited the country for business and travel purposes. “There are some people I cannot contact, but fortunately, I don’t think there will be any major damage.”

“It’s a blessing in disguise.”

“Four countries declared a state of emergency and one country was almost at war, but for them, it was just someone else’s pain. The

president glared at the map on the screen. Brazil, with half of the country turned red, caught his eye.

” Would it be possible to send troops?”

“Other countries and, unfortunately, the Brazilian government will reject it. The damage will be great, but in the end, we will be able to resolve it ourselves.”

In response to the information chief’s words, the president spread both his hands. It was a gesture that seemed to release steam. He showed a very straightforward attitude as a president with an entrepreneurial background. The president thought he could use

this opportunity to fix the disobedient South American countries, but he thought too quickly. “I guess

there’s no need to rush there.” Then the problem is the economy…”

The President began with a sigh. The Chairman of the National Economic Committee stepped forward. As

he stepped forward, a waterfall of stock prices appeared on the screen.

“It was the worst day since Black Monday. “The Dow Jones fell nearly 20%, and stock prices around the world fell even further.”

Everyone in the room sighed.

“The problem is that this is not the end. As things stand now, it is clear that stocks will continue to fall. When the market opens today, it is certain that they will fall by more than 5%. A disaster worse than Black Monday has already been confirmed.”

The president pressed his forehead with his finger. He really wasn’t being president.

Of course, he was able to reduce this loss thanks to being president, but considering the stress, he wasn’t happy at all about saving money. “Why? It only

happened in one place in South America, right? ? It wouldn’t have been something that would spread around the world in this way…”

Since he was an entrepreneur, a lot of explanation was needed.

The National Intelligence Director explained again,

“It wasn’t like the South American incident would have caused this much of a problem. The problem is that people are aware that this can continue to happen in the future.”

The Amazon is not the only rainforest and natural area that is inaccessible to humans.

There are numerous islands in Africa, Siberia, and Southeast Asia, and mountain ranges in each country.

“Things like this happen. “If this continues, it could cause the greatest damage since World War II.”

The President rubbed his face with his hand. That couldn’t be possible.

As long as there was no damage to the United States, it did not matter if there was damage greater than that of World War II. However, if that happens, an economic collapse worse than a major crisis will occur around the world.

This world is economics. It was a place that ran on money.

And the President of the United States was the one who had to maintain that trend for the United States. As an American supremacist, he never forgot that.

“Then what should I do?”

As the President spoke, the White House chief strategist behind him opened his mouth:

“First of all, the President must give a speech and press conference before the stock market opens. “The United States must declare that it will not stand by and ignore this situation and that it will join forces with other countries to deal with all the mutants that have been left alone.”

“I guess it’s not just a declaration.”

“Yes, troops should actually be dispatched. “We must use the UN or form a coalition to wipe out the mutants.”

“Wouldn’t your belly button be bigger than your stomach?”

It was clear that such a large-scale deployment of troops would be no joke.

This time, the four-star general sitting behind him stepped forward. He was the Marine Corps commander in charge of mutants.

“This is not war. Even if you pour out a large amount of firepower, it is difficult to inflict damage. There is a great risk that nature will become a wasteland.”

It was funny to hear a soldier talking about nature conservation, but no one in the room laughed.

“We have to go directly through the jungles and forests and strike the mutants directly. We need mechanized units, but we also need a lot of capable small units. And…” The general continued with a shaky expression. “Awakening to

fight

. people are needed. Mutants can break through firepower. We need someone who can take the time even in close combat.”

Everyone looked like they couldn’t do anything about the general’s words.

It was already expected that the Awakened would participate in the fight. It was faster than expected, but the United States was preparing long ago.

But the general’s words did not end there.

“In order to properly use the Awakened, you need equipment.”

He looked at the CIA director sitting behind him on the other side. The director looked away from him. If the CIA hadn’t made a mistake, he wouldn’t have needed to say anything. “There is currently only one place that can make Awakened

equipment. We have to negotiate with EV.”

The president’s face twisted.

***

At the same time,

the owner of EV was looking at the destroyed airport.

In the meantime, too much had happened in the original world. Although a considerable amount of time has passed, Kyung-hoon has finally come to this world. I was able to arrive at Seoul Airport.

Destroyed planes were left rusting all over the place, hangars were destroyed, exposing their sternums, broken cars and turrets bent like taffy sticks. Unlike other places, this airport was in ruins.

“There are traces of battle left.”

From Seongnae-dong to Garak-dong to Seongnam-si. On the way down here, traces of small-scale battles could be seen in many places.

But I have never seen traces of such a large-scale battle.

“I’m curious, but I guess I’ll have to go back from here again.”

Kyung-hoon patted his backpack and prepared to create a portal.

“Is it soon time for the New York Stock Exchange to open?”

“There’s about an hour left.”

“Will it fall further?”

“Even if you come up with a defensive plan, it will only reduce the downside.”

It was something that had already been experienced in this world. The United States’ response was also predictable.

I didn’t know exactly when it would happen, but I knew that the first wave would occur soon based on information from this world.

Of course, I had no choice but to leave it in passing to avoid misunderstanding. There wasn’t, but a warning was also posted on the Internet.

‘It was all useless…’

And thanks to people’s disbelief, he ended up hitting the jackpot in options trading.

– Yesterday, he made a profit of about 50 times. The profit margin was similar to that of the 9/11 incident. This is high. And it is expected that profits will continue to increase in the future.

So far, the doubling of profits earned by EV’s shell companies has been buried in the money earned in a single day.

Although it is distributed among the paper companies, Kyung-hoon is now worth about $10 billion. It was done.

Kyung-hoon didn’t look very happy. It was clear that as many people had suffered as he had earned. Although it was necessary money, he couldn’t help but feel bitter. – It was only a fair transaction. Kyung-hoon chuckled at Eve’s consolation. What she

said

. That’s right. It was just because I wasn’t used to it yet.

Now was not the time to look back.

And he was planning to repay the regret he had by going to the place he was going to now.

Wow.

A black hole has been created.

The place he will go this time is the place he made while traveling around the world. It was one of the portals.

Kyung-hoon jumped into the hole.

***

A day has passed since the incident occurred. The

peaceful city of Manuus, where the Amazon River flows, no longer exists.

The electricity was cut off, and phone calls and broadcasts stopped

. The fire was going on and people could still be heard screaming.

All the cars were stopped and there was not a living person to be seen on the streets.

The streets no longer belonged to people.

Strange looking monsters were roaming the streets. A

huge crocodile with six legs was seen on the bus. A two-headed spotted jaguar was fighting with its head over a human corpse.

Marcelo, who had been observing the street from the wall, turned his head when he saw the man-eating monster. It was

a scene he had seen tirelessly all day, but it was something he could never get used to. It was a sight.

“What’s it like outside?”

A junior lying on the floor asked him,

“Be quiet. You can’t even see the monsters.”

The junior smiled at his words. The smiling junior had a bloody bandage wrapped around his eyes.

It was an injury sustained while traveling here yesterday.

The junior had bandages wrapped not only over his eyes but also his stomach. The bandage was completely ripped off. It was a wound that was difficult to live with.

“It looks like the monsters have returned to the jungle. Will they come to the rescue now?”

“It will come soon.”

He answered his junior’s words in a tired voice.

There was no way it would come. It was a city built in the middle of a rainforest.

As long as the river was safe, we could have used it, but there was a monster in the river that looked like a crocodile.

“Sobbing.”

“Ugh.”

“It hurts. It hurts.”

“Save me, Mom. Ugh. Ugh.”

He heard people sobbing in his ears. Everyone tried to be as quiet as possible, but they couldn’t help but sob.

He looked around.

Hundreds of people were lying or sitting on the floor in the hall.

There were more injured people than healthy people. But few people received proper treatment.

Where he was now was the central hall of a high-end hotel in Manus.

Yesterday, they saved as many people as possible and entered this hotel.

I lost most of my men in the process, but fortunately I was able to meet them here.

It rattled.

A young woman opened the door to the hall and came inside.

It was a woman with her hair tied back. Although he was wearing a loose military jacket, it did not hide his toned body.

Although she looked like an ordinary South American woman, she was an awakened person.

When the incident occurred, she gathered the awakened people and created a hideout in this hotel.

Use your might to build a defensive wall at the entrance and lure approaching monsters elsewhere. Thanks to the hideout she and the awakened people created, many people were able to save their lives.

“Is there a problem?”

“Ah, do you have any flares left? “We have to light a flare.”

“yes?”

She made the confused Marcelo light a flare.

Red smoke rose outside the hotel window.

“Surely you were able to contact the outside? “Did the government send the military?”

“No. I contacted the outside world. It came from EV.”

“EV?”

Marcelo tilted his head. It was a name he had heard before.

“But I think crazy people are right. I can’t believe I’m receiving items at a time like now. “I almost cursed into the satellite phone.”

It was something I couldn’t understand at all. But he soon saw an even more outrageous sight.

A person was running across the street to the hotel.

It felt like a car was speeding by.

The charging monsters were cut down and the cars that blocked them were thrown off the road.

Arriving in front of the hotel, he absurdly climbed up the wall.

A moment later, he came in through the hotel window, where smoke was billowing out.

It was a man wearing dark sunglasses.

He opened his mouth to the female awakener.

“You posted a request to purchase equipment on the trading bulletin board, right? It has been delivered.”

Kyung-hoon, carrying a backpack, grinned.
