Chapter 108
Blue House, since President Lee Myung-hui was granted mercy, Kim Hye-ri, the head of the National Special Affairs Handling Group, has successfully taken over the power of the country in accordance with the Wartime Autonomy Law.
At a meeting with a limited number of participants, she made the final decision and officially decided to release the latest research results to the public and delegate the right of self-defense to individuals.
Soon, alarms sounded across the country one after another. This highest-level warning indicated the breath of a major event.
Residents who still had the conditions turned on the TV, and sure enough, the TV signal was restored again.
A few minutes later, a new live screen appeared on the TV, and the screen prompt bar showed that this was the highest level of emergency news.
[All citizens, please note that this is not a drill, please listen carefully. ]
Then, the soldier who shot the president last time appeared on the podium, and she issued a martial law order in a strong suit and solemn expression.
[From August 17, 2020, that is, 12 o'clock tonight, in accordance with Article 77, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution and Article 2, Paragraph 2 of the Martial Law, I hereby declare that the Republic of Korea has entered a state of emergency martial law. 】
【At the same time, the military is in charge of public security and justice in the martial law area. The military has confirmed the phenomenon that the majority of non-specific citizens have transformed into unknown creatures. 】
【Although the specific cause of the mutation has not yet been determined, experts speculate that the mutation is related to human desires, rather than viruses transmitted through the respiratory tract or blood. Those who have symptoms such as hypothermia, nosebleeds, fainting, auditory hallucinations, and visual hallucinations should be isolated immediately. 】
In a convenience store without "people" in Yongsan District, Seoul, a dishevelled man is watching TV.
【Unknown creatures have excellent recovery and rebirth abilities. Before they are completely transformed into unknown creatures, severe amputations and injuries cannot be recovered. This is the only time to eliminate unknown creatures, so we call it the golden time. 】
【If the unknown creatures are subdued, please be sure to burn them. This is currently the only way for the public to deal with unknown creatures. 】
While listening to TV, the man cut his arm with a utility knife.
The tip of the knife pierced the skin, and blood flowed, but within a few minutes, the wound on his arm healed again.
Except for the blood on the utility knife and his arm, he had no scars on his body.
There were a lot of bloodstains around his seat, and it was obvious that this was not the first time he had hurt himself.
"I see."
The man said to himself, and after unplugging his fully charged mobile phone, he left the convenience store with his backpack.
...
In the nursery on the first floor of Green Home, the survivors gathered together to watch the latest emergency news.
[The military is capable and willing to solve the current situation. Please make sure you survive and wait for the problem to be solved. Good luck to everyone. ]
As the female officer on the screen expressed her final hope, the TV lost signal again.
The same emergency news, different people get different information from it.
Supermarket owner Jin Shixian waved his hands excitedly and said: "Okay, okay, we are fine, just wait for the soldiers to rescue us."
"As long as we hold on, the army will come to rescue us."
Public exam man Lu Chengwan also said happily: "I know, I know."
For Lu Chengwan, although he has not completed the qualification confirmation, I believe that in this special case, the country will also make special arrangements.
According to this understanding, he is now also a member of the government.
The big eater Jin Bingri sitting behind the two of them has become serious since he heard the news.
Looking at the two idiots who are not able to grasp the key points and rejoice here, he couldn't help but kick Lu Chengwan: "She wants us to find a way to survive."
Kim Bingri frowned and glanced at Lu Chengwan and Jin Shixian. The two of them were so confused about the seriousness of the matter.
"Is that what she meant?" The smile on Lu Chengwan's face completely disappeared, and he asked back.
Kim Seok-hyun smacked his lips and replied, "No problem, she told us to hold on and wait for her to solve the problem."
"Right? That's what I meant."
"Hold on for what?" Big eater Kim Byung-il sighed speechlessly with his head tilted up.
"Yes, that's what I meant." Kim Seok-hyun and Noh Seung-wan had a rare tacit understanding, and his opinion of Noh Seung-wan also changed.
In Kim Byung-il's eyes, this was a tacit understanding between two idiots. He stretched out his hand and asked, "Do you really think that's what it means?"
"Yes." Kim Seok-hyun and Noh Seung-wan answered in unison.
Kim Seok-hyun pointed at Kim Byung-il and threatened, "If you don't think so, give me back the money you owe me."
"..."
And skin care expert Liu Zaihuan focused on the cause of the monster mutation. He asked the person behind him, "She said that desire will turn people into monsters? Is this reasonable?"
"Didn't you also see a bunch of monsters outside?" Sun Huiren replied.
"So what Kim Dae-jung said is true. Monsters are not spread by viruses at all."
...
14th floor, room 1408.
Jiang Minhao shook his head, thinking of the clown man before, and said: "Humans really have endless desires."
"Golden period, we must grasp this important time point." Fatty detective Li Chenglu said.
...
In the apartment management office on the first floor, Kim Dae-jung and his three friends, Li Enhe and Xu Yijing also read the latest news.
[I don’t know if Nam Sang-won called Seo Yi-kyung? Minami Aihara definitely knows more about monsterization. 】
Jin Dazhong asked Xu Yijing: "Xu Yijingxi?"
"Um?"
"Excuse me, what should we do in the current situation without rescue?" Jin Dazhong asked Xu Yijing tentatively.
Xu Yijing thought for a moment and replied: "Well, first of all, we need to stabilize the psychology of other survivors, and then distinguish the mutants to prevent them from suddenly mutating and hurting others."
"In addition, the collection of survival supplies must also be put on the agenda."
Jin Dazhong nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "There must have been many outbreaks of monster transformation before. Xu Yijingxi, do you know anything about this matter? After all, you were also a public official before."
Jin Dazhong unlocked his phone and handed it to Xu Yijing. On it was a screenshot of a blog post written by Ke Lu Ping Lu.
Xu Yijing's heart trembled inexplicably when she saw the words "Kelu". She remembered a conversation she had with her fiancé Minami Xiangyuan a month ago.
Kelu Kelu is the name of Nan Xiangyuan's blog. Even though Nan Xiangyuan tried his best to cover it up, Xu Yijing still realized that something was wrong.
She originally thought that Minami Xiangyuan might be a little afraid of marriage and wanted to vent his pressure, so he registered an account privately.
But before she could find out everything, Minami Xiangyuan's whereabouts were unknown.
"Where did this come from?" Xu Yijing covered her mouth, holding back tears.
"Xu Yijingxi, do you know anything about this matter?"
