Episode 150. Creating the Environment (2)

E woke up in a dirty room in a shabby motel and raised her head, clutching at her head that was so sore it felt like it was going to burst.

“Damn.”

Although he ran out of the hospital room with great enthusiasm, he could not be completely free from the side effects of the implant.

Considering the amount of implants and medications that would have killed a person hundreds of times over, it was unrealistic to think that he could only get away with a headache.

Since I couldn’t expect breakfast, I had to figure out how to eat on my own.

But E, who didn’t want to move her body, slightly turned her posture and picked up the tablet.

His hand slipped. He clicked on the Internet article on the main page, then frowned as he realized it was about him.

“They are a bunch of guys with nothing better to do…….”

Although it was a short article, it contained all the information about him.

His name, his original home, and the story of how he conquered Blacrohn in the past – that’s all.

The conclusion of the article was always the same: the citizens of Stella City must unite and stand together as one against external threats.

It was just as he said. Elecharmoni became a victim, a scapegoat for E’s cruelty.

This may have been Hansanwoo’s intention as well, but the city did not try to hide it or feel any resistance to it.

Just like a dog that listens well, he would just let out ridiculous cheers like, ‘As expected from Stella City!’, ‘As expected from Hansan!’

“Disgusting little bastard…….”

E opened the door to the inn room and went out to find a nearby restaurant.

As usual, the quality wasn’t great, but it was still a lot better than the food he was used to eating in Blacrohn.

Just as he was about to go down the stairs, he saw messages unfolding before his eyes.

-It’s been discovered.

“who is this?”

-I am the owner of the motel.

It wasn’t strange. His face was exposed, and naturally there was a considerable bounty on his head.

But the fact that citizens could report him to the police so casually was a reality that was, at least to his imagination, completely incomprehensible.

It was common sense that a normal citizen could not be friendly with a salty person.

The reward was huge, but anyone with a good head on their shoulders knew better than anyone that the police would never return the money in full to the citizens.

They will find fault with everything to reduce the reward money, and they will make excuses like there were financial problems to delay the reward money payment.

Even if the exhausted reporter tries to sue the police, nothing will change. The court is not a place for the poor, and the fights that take place there are merely announcing the outcome of a match that has already been decided.

“That’s stupid.”

However, people who ruin their own lives by making irrational choices often drag people who had nothing to do with their mistakes into the ‘swamp of inefficiency’ along with them.

– We’re surrounded.

Shooting them one by one was inefficient. Even if you killed all the pursuers, nothing would change.

E, who had taken his gun and weapons, placed a bomb and jumped out the window.

“Should I thank you for giving me time to sleep?”

He couldn’t even say he had enough rest. He had been chased until dawn, and had to get up again only a few hours after going to bed.

The muscles that were not completely relaxed were complaining of fatigue. Screams were erupting from all over the body as if they could not bear the intense movement.

-Criminal found. Arrest initiated.

-You have the right to remain silent, and the right to have a lawyer present-.

A boring recording of robot voices flowed out.

“This is how you write numbers…….”

It must have been a measure to minimize casualties. No matter how much Hansan treated the police’s lives like dogs, he couldn’t have continued to waste lives on such a futile pursuit.

But that was just a vain hope.

“They’re all the same accomplices.”

E detonated the detonator he had installed in the motel.

“Where are you planning to eat raw?”

It’s illogical behavior. He has plenty of bombs, but they’re not infinite.

It was not rational to use bombs to deal with civilians who had nothing to do with the target.

But as always, people who act irrationally not only get themselves into trouble, but also those who are not related to them.

A brief smile passed by. E continued running down the road without stopping.

But a giant screen that filled one side of the building stopped him in his tracks.

Hansanwoo’s voice flowed out. It was nothing special.

Lately, he has been issuing statements condemning ‘visor-wearing terrorists’ and the citizens have been enjoying the sight.

But the content of the video was a little different.

“That crazy kid…….”

A huge tank with Hansan’s mark on it was running through a familiar wasteland.

“T, isn’t this too much? I understand how Hansan feels, but… this is war!”

The blonde diplomat sighed deeply.

I could understand. When I first experienced terrorism, I never thought I would have to do something like this.

“It’s not war. I and Hansan also trust the US government. I don’t even think there’s a government behind this.”

“Then why…….”

“But that doesn’t mean we can just let it go, right?”

“Ahem…….”

The man let out a sigh.

“Hundreds of people are dead. We still haven’t caught the perpetrators. If the U.S. government had orchestrated this, we wouldn’t be sitting here talking.”

“Well, I guess so.”

“Then can you handle this yourself?”

It’s not that America is weak. They were still a superpower, and there weren’t many who could threaten their stronghold as a nation.

But, being bitten and torn apart by numerous companies was no different from other countries or the United States.

“I think you’ll have to say a lot of regrets here and there. It won’t be easy.”

The administrative power of the country was greatly weakened. Just as there were many streets in Stella City where it was declared that ‘the police would not enter because there were too many criminals’, there were also numerous slums, or rather slum areas, on a national scale.

Blacrohn is only a city. It is much smaller than Stella City, which is practically a country, and it is not a city that the United States cannot push out with all its might.

But giving it your all was not something that could be decided by just a few diplomats or politicians.

Even moving the US military requires the cooperation and consent of companies.

Many companies, including Hansan, had invested heavily in the US military and had stakes that could move it.

“Just close your eyes for a moment.”

“Still, we can’t allow Stella City’s military to set foot on American territory!”

“We will make up our own reasons. There is no need for soldiers from Stella City to enter Blacrohn as soldiers.”

No matter what others worried about, our goal was clear.

“The US government probably wouldn’t be too happy with a city like Blakron either. If they want to put people there to control it, they can do that.”

In fact, this was not something I did with this person’s permission.

The trams were still moving. Stella City was moving as one.

“Still, I believe you will not send back or attack the soldiers who have already moved.”

It was a mistake for him to destroy Elecharmony. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like he thought about it that much before moving.

Hansan was a huge company, and with the exception of a very small number of companies, there were quite a few companies that cooperated with Hansan’s policies or projects.

Until he committed terrorism at an event, people thought there was a reason for his actions.

I thought it was the work of companies fighting against Hansan, and that I could avoid the blade if I just kept my distance from Hansan.

But he did not compromise.

“This isn’t a problem that can be solved by stopping me alone. I only represent the companies in Stella City, I don’t control them.”

“Your humility is excessive. The rumors about you have already spread throughout the council…….”

“This has nothing to do with my power. Even if I desperately try to stop it, other companies will lead their own private armies and come to this land.”

The reason they moved in a somewhat controlled manner was because they were part of the military of ‘Stella City’.

Many companies will send soldiers to Blakron to avenge the terrorists and test new weapons. If that happens, neither the US government nor I will be able to control it.

“Let’s go cleanly.”

The diplomat nodded with difficulty, as if he understood what I meant.

“I will report this to my superiors. I don’t think this is something I can handle alone.”

“I wish you had said that sooner.”

“It must have already arrived.”

The diplomat looked at me with blank eyes, not noticing the smile on my lips.
