An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse

chapter 73



Food shortage (2)

“Are you okay?”

“are you okay. It’s because I got emotional for a while. By the way, mother, are you eating properly?”

Mother shook her head.

“Isn’t there enough food in the fort?”

“huh. not enough There are not enough people.”

Well, since the first wave is still alive, the reward is inevitably lacking.

I checked to see if my mother had awakened just in case, but she didn’t.

“mother. Take this.”

I took out the rare awakening essence and handed it to my mother.

“Isn’t this the essence of rare awakening?”

“yes. Try it.”

“How can I do this precious thing? Give me someone else.”

Mother handed me the essence again.

“How many doctors are there?”

“It’s just me.”

“Then the mother should use it even more for the sake of the patients.”

When I told her to write for the patient and not for herself, my mother reluctantly nodded.

*Geumja Lee Lv 1.

[Job]: Doctor (rare)

[Technique 1]: Osteoarthritis.

-10 coins consumed.

[Technique 2]: Surgery.

-Increases the success rate of surgery by 30%.

-Consumes 100 coins per hour.

[Abilities]:

[Note]: Malnutrition.

As expected, my mother awakened as a surgeon. I wanted to awaken him to a legendary level, but the important thing now was to solve the food problem, so I couldn’t help it.

“The probability of success in surgery goes up by 30%…”

Mother’s eyes widened when she saw the explanation of the technique.

“Are you good at writing?”

“huh. nice.”

He was a person who always thought only of patients, so it’s bound to be good.

I tore up the alum card my mother had given me and put the soybean paste stew and side dishes in front of her.

“I ate earlier, so it’s okay. So eat your son.”

As the savory smell of soybean paste flowed out, a growling sound came from mother’s stomach.

“Don’t worry, I have something to eat.”

He took out 300 hundred ban cards from his inventory and placed them on the table.

“Oh my God. Are these all 100 Ban cards?”

Mother put her hand to her lips, as if surprised by the huge number of alumni cards.

“This should be able to feed everyone here right now. Jun-ah Kang, can I share this with people right now?”

I nodded.

Because that’s what I brought.

I grabbed my card and followed my mother outside.

“General. Take this.”

“Where did you get so many alumni cards…”

The general’s gaze turned to me.

“Thank you for keeping my mother safe. So don’t be afraid to take it.”

“Is that okay?”

“yes.”

When the general beckoned, the officer next to him took a food card.

“General. I just want to have a meal with you and talk to you. Where can I go?”

“I will be at City Hall, so come over there.”

“Okay, then I’ll see you later.”

I went back into the tent with my mother, sat down at the table, and ate without saying a word.

How I wished I could dine with my family again. It was what I wanted so much, but I couldn’t say anything while eating.

Just a few minutes ago, when I met my mother, I wanted to ask all about the truth about the events that happened that day.

Seeing my mother’s thin body, I couldn’t ask. Mother must have seen everything in that terrible scene.

So I just ate without saying anything.

meal is over

After a while, my mother stopped talking.

“Kang Jun-ah.”

“Yes, Mother.”

“Why don’t you ask?”

My mother’s eyes looked at me sadly, almost as if tears would fall.

“What was broadcast in the media is not the truth.”

Over a glass of water, my mother told me the details of the day, and the truth of the incident shocked me.

“Then who were the people at the karaoke room?”

“I don’t know about that.”

The truth of the matter was this.

My family didn’t go to karaoke that day.

I was in a car accident on the way home.

and···. The older brother is dead and the father is missing.

My mother said that she was kidnapped and released in Suwon right before the dome was created.

A contrived development that can only be seen in last-minute movies.

that happened to my family

“Mother, are you sure your brother is dead?”

“…”

The mother did not say anything to the question.

Tears were shed incessantly.

“under…”

There’s not a single thing I don’t understand.

The CCTV footage the police showed showed the parents and older brother entering a karaoke room.

Obviously I checked and my brother and parents were right.

Even after the forensic result, the body came out as my family. If so, it means it was manipulated…

‘Who on earth has what purpose?’

Also, the kidnapper who kidnapped his parents is also strange.

Kidnapping is usually done out of resentment.

It is done for the purpose of asking for money.

However, the abductor did not contact me or make any demands as I was the only family member.

Besides, the reason why he saved his mother.

I don’t even know why I released it right before the dome was created.

There must have been some intention…

“Mom, do you remember anything?”

It wasn’t just a day or two, he was kidnapped for over five years.

There will be at least one thing to remember.

“I don’t know if this will help, but something like this was drawn on the right wrist of the man who brought me the meal.”

My mother took a piece of paper out of her pocket, drew a picture on it, and handed it to me.

There is a pyramid in the middle of the paper.

Eyes were drawn in the upper triangular part.

‘Exhibitionist’

As one of the patterns supported by MA, it was an expensive item that raised stats by percentage.

Rating was a hero.

It was also a tattoo on the neck of Gangnam Sachaewang.

Because it was so expensive and the efficiency was not so high, the only people in Korea who wore the all-seeing eye pattern were Gangnam Sachaewang’s gang.

‘Is it a coincidence?’

It seems that it smells somehow.

“Kang Jun-ah. Come to think of it, I thought I had seen it wrong, but that day the car the kidnapper was riding in suddenly appeared from the front through a portal.”

“A portal?”

“uh. I thought I was wrong at the time, but it was the same as the portal where monsters appeared in the wave.”

No fire accident… The kidnapping incident had already happened more than five years ago, and at that time, Monster Apocalypse hadn’t even been released.

That is, the Awakener does not exist.

But what if it did exist?

If so, what happened at the karaoke room would also be explained.

There are also doppelgangers among the villains.

“And I heard the man bringing the meals on the phone, and I heard that he was Myeong-ho hyung.”

“A name?”

It’s a name I’ve heard a lot.

Instantly, I remembered the conversation I had with Black on the way to clean up the Sema Station Villain Fortress.

Myeongho Lee.

It is the name of Gangnam Sachae King.

“huh. I’m sure I and your father have heard you report to him many times.”

It means that it is not a coincidence that the name of Gangnam Sachae King came out following the exhibition plan.

If the king of private bonds killed his family and relatives, what was the reason?

“Mother, have you ever heard of the name Lee Myeong-ho before?”

“Lee Myeong-ho? Is the last name of the person who kidnapped me Lee?”

“I can’t be sure, but it’s very likely.”

“Do you know each other?”

“We are not close friends. We hung out together in Monster Apocalypse.”

The mother opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.

“You mean he approached you on purpose?”

“I don’t know.”

everything is questionable

If everything your mother said is true.

The guys had superpowers from before.

‘Super power···.’

Since such an ability could not have suddenly arisen, of course it must have something to do with MA. I’m #1 in the world rankings for that game. Maybe their target was me, not my parents.

So, why did they kidnap my parents instead of kidnapping or killing me?

I never know.

Also, if it wasn’t a coincidence, but if the king of bonds was really behind the kidnapper. The approach to me is intentional, as my mother said.

Then I remembered what the boy had said.

-If you could only save one person from drowning, who would you save?

After not answering for a while, he asked again.

-Then if you had to choose between your life and humanity, what would you choose?

Of course, this answer was to choose humanity without thinking for a second. Because humanity includes my family.

I don’t know why he suddenly asked this question, but it just came to my mind.

my mother saved

The father’s whereabouts are unclear.

brother is dead

And there is a person suspected of being behind the incident.

Really, everything is questionable.

So what can I do now?

Of course, to find out the background and ask.

Assuming that the mastermind is the king of private loans…

‘Is it possible with my skills?’

If everyone did the same when starting MA, it would be possible. However, it is impossible if the abductees are forces with supernatural powers before that.

Habitually, the priorities I had to do were established in my head.

“Mom, let’s go to Doksan Fortress with me first.”

“Why poisonous acid?”

“There is a fort I made there.”

“Who are the people here?”

Currently, there are less than 300 people here, excluding soldiers, so the Sema Station Fortress can accommodate enough.

“I’ll take them all. Instead, you should go first with your mother.”

“That’s not allowed. How can you leave so many sick people here?”

As expected, there is no way my mother would leave the patient behind.

“Then take all the patients and go to the fortress of Sema Station. There are several doctors there, so taking care of patients will be much better than here.”

“Will you do that?”

“yes.”

“Then I will.”

“wait a minute.”

came out of the tent

<Summon Lia>

<Summon Pi>

Lia and Pi appeared through the portal made next to the tent.

“Lia. Go to Sema Station and tell Suho Lee to send medical staff and a car because we need to transport patients here, and call Elena-sama’s unit here too.”

“Yes, Master.”

Lia rode the pie and flew to the fortress of Byeongjeom Station.

Go back into the tent.

<Summon Leona>

“Lord. Did you call?”

“yes. Miss Leona. My mother, please.”

“Yes, lord.”

Mother is surprised to see Leona suddenly appearing.

“Mother, this is Guardian Leona, who will protect you for the time being.”

“There’s no need to do that…”

Mother lightly greeted Leona and told me.

“My mother’s safety is the most important thing to me. So wherever you go, go with Leona-sama.”

“Yeah, got it.”

“Leona-sama, no matter what your mother says, you must never leave her side.”

“Yes, lord. I will.”

Leona’s level is 15, and her equipment is also of rare grade, so no matter what enemy appears, she will be able to protect at least one mother.

“Then see you later, mother.”

“okay. Take care of yourself.”

I asked Leona to protect my mother and climbed on top of the castle wall to check the situation.

In the north, Arachne and Muhyul are fighting.

In the east, the soldiers are struggling to stop the villains from continuing to pour in.

Just looking at it, it seems that Arachne is planning to attack Yunggeonneung after tying Muhyul’s feet by hitting and falling.

‘I can’t do that.’

To solve the food problem here, you must first deal with Arachne.

Only then will those who received the scenario in Hwaseong City be compensated and can buy food using coins.

As we hurriedly moved to Muhyul, who was fighting in front of the northern wall, Muhyul, who was transforming into a demon, lowered his head.

“Kangjun hyung, you originally planned to come yesterday.”

Moo-hyul complains about being late.

“Sorry, I have some work. I’ll take care of this, so take everyone and help me on the Eastern Front.”

“all right.”

Muhyul led the soldiers and tanks toward the east.

‘Black, transform into Arachne.’

-Nyan!

The black that is made into Arachne in an instant.

And the enemy Arachne watching it.

I sent Black, who turned into Arachne, towards the enemy Arachne.
