◈ 221. Hyunjin (3)

If you want to catch a tiger, you have to go into the tiger’s den.

Hyunjin was convinced that in order to bring down the Balbal Group, he had to go deep into the Balbal Group.

The footstep group was too alert and large to be taken down from the outside.

Starting from the bottom of the footstep group and working your way up to the top was not realistically possible, so Hyunjin had to use a method that would allow him to climb up faster.

I thought it would be possible with the help of CashUp.

Of course, the possibility of his identity being revealed was also high.

Creating a new industry through cash-up has never been easy.

I tried a few things but they either didn’t work or took too long.

“We have to take down the Footsteps Group right now. If we’re too late, we might not be able to turn back.”

The Republic of Korea was gradually becoming more dictatorial and militaristic.

By pressuring Russia, they forcibly annexed Sakhalin Island and the Maritime Province, and were eyeing Japan’s Hokkaido with their eyes on it.

They were trying to force Okinawa to become independent, and were pressuring the Japanese government by claiming that Tsushima Island was historically Korean territory.

In Gyeongsangnam-do, they announced an ordinance on Tsushima Island Day, demanding that Tsushima Island, which is under Japanese occupation, be returned, and repeatedly insisted to the government that Tsushima Island be returned.

The Japanese government dismissed the request as unnecessary since Tsushima Island was not a disputed territory but a place under Japan’s effective control, but it seemed as if it was still bitter inside.

The war with China also caused enormous and irreparable damage to Japan.

Unlike the previous Sino-Japanese War, China also had powerful military power.

Of course, China did not easily gain the upper hand in a war with Japan, which displayed militarism.

Furthermore, the Japanese army, which invaded China with support from the United States, showed signs of victory by occupying the area around Shanghai.

This time, hundreds of thousands of Japanese youths were pushed into mainland China without any proper training, in the hopes that they would be able to completely occupy Chinese territory.

China, with enemies on all sides including India, Southeast Asia, and the Uyghurs, felt threatened because it could not give its full power, but fortunately or unfortunately, the world’s largest dam, the Three Gorges Dam, eventually collapsed.

The massive amount of water from the Shanshan Dam destroyed nearby cities one after another and eventually reached Shanghai.

It was natural that hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers were submerged.

China also suffered enormous damage, and Japan also suffered irreparable damage.

In addition, large-scale naval battles between the Chinese and Japanese navies completely destroyed the war-fighting capabilities of both countries.

Of course, neither country signed a ceasefire or anything.

Since the damage on both sides was so great, they hoped that if they pushed just a little harder, they would win and receive massive war reparations.

If there were no guns, they showed a primitive war using swords and bows.

If World War III was a nuclear war, then World War IV will certainly be fought with spears and stones, as the war scenes from the Middle Ages were portrayed.

Of course, it’s not like modern weapons weren’t used at all.

Above, fighters and bombers fought fiercely without any damage, and missiles flew without rest toward the enemy’s strategic targets.

Nuclear weapons had to be used, but strangely enough, nuclear missiles somehow became useless.

When nuclear missiles flew to South Korea, South Korea strongly protested to China and even threatened to go to war if it used nuclear weapons again.

In fact, the moment a nuclear missile flew from China’s nuclear missile base to the Korean Peninsula, the war was effectively over, but the Chinese government had to make huge concessions, judging that it could never win the war if it had to deal with South Korea as well.

The South Korean government also did not move its troops after receiving concessions from China, believing that it was not yet the time.

Although the United States pushed back, its influence in East Asia was virtually lost.

Unexpectedly, the zombie outbreak has significantly reduced America’s power, and war has broken out in Europe as Islamic forces attempt to overthrow the country through large-scale terrorism and massacre of civilians.

The United States, which was more concerned about Europe than East Asia, seemed to have concluded that it could sufficiently check China through India and Japan.

Of course, the biggest reason was that the situation in the United States was not so good after President Trump became the president of the United States.

One of the biggest reasons was that the United States was in such turmoil that it seemed as if an East-West war was about to break out, and there was no room to look outside.

In fact, Texas and neighboring states declared independence.

Even in the past when things were going well, there were movements by some states in the United States to gain independence, so it was as the world became a mess that they attempted to gain independence.

In this way, southern China was completely destroyed by water.

There were still many people alive, but they gradually died out as they became isolated and received no government support.

India, Uyghurs, and Taiwan tried not to miss the opportunity, but that summer was the hottest ever.

In a time of record-breaking temperatures amid drought, India experienced a midsummer temperature of over 60 degrees Celsius, causing massive numbers of people to die.

This is also the case in Southeast Asia, where the areas near the equator have become heatwave zones where people cannot survive.

There was no way to confirm how many people had died.

The situation became unmanageable when the Balbal Group, which had been providing food and water, also cut off its support.

From this point on, it was no longer war.

Even as southern China was being scorched by a heat wave, those who had survived in Southeast Asia and India began a large-scale migration northward.

Since it was a migration for survival, it was impossible to stop it even with the military.

Even in Japan, with temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius every day, many elderly people were collapsing from heatstroke.

Although the Korean Peninsula was not spared, each time, as if by some miracle, the heat cooled down or it rained, and we were able to escape the worst of the situation.

Above all, the extreme climate of the Korean Peninsula was somewhat alleviated by the massive sea canal, so the damage was less than that of other countries or regions.

So, South Korea began to desire to become a hegemon beyond East Asia.

And among them, there was a footstep group.

Hyunjin was included in the exploration team of the Footsteps Group and was tasked with exploring certain items in an abandoned land.

Completing such exploration gave Hyunjin a significant amount of points and level experience.

In addition, as he was promoted quickly, he gained trust within the Baljeol Group.

And then I finally got to meet CEO Lee Jae-woo face to face.

“Team Leader Kim Hyun-jin, thank you for completing this mission. It couldn’t have been easy.”

“It wasn’t that difficult.”

“Even if it’s not the height of summer, isn’t it a place where it’s hard to find clean water in temperatures above 50 degrees? It’s amazing that you were able to complete your mission without any damage. I have high expectations for you.”

“thank you.”

Hyunjin smiled with hidden emotion at the thought of gaining the trust of CEO Lee Jaewoo.

Jaewoo continued talking to Hyunjin while rubbing her uncomfortable arm.

“When I look at you, I think of an old friend of mine.”

“yes?”

“He was a great friend.”

To Hyun-jin, Jae-woo was like a father to her.

Of course, Hyun-jin’s father and Jae-woo didn’t know each other.

First of all, Hyunjin had no memories of her father.

“You. Where are your parents?”

“Ah! He passed away in an accident when he was young.”

“Oh. Is that so? I’m sorry.”

“no.”

“He must have been a great person.”

“thank you.”

Jaewoo spoke as if he knew his parents, but that couldn’t be true, so Hyunjin thought he was just saying it out of politeness.

“I will give you one more mission.”

“Please speak.”

“Come find the seeds.”

“A seed? What kind of seed is it?”

“They say it’s the seed of the morning glory.”

“Are you talking about a dandelion?”

Hyunjin was puzzled by Jaewoo’s words to find seeds of a plant he had never heard of before.

“The original name is different, but I call the seeds of that plant ‘jinmangcho’.”

“I see. But what happened?”

“It looks like this.”

Hyunjin saw Jaewoo take out a plant and show it to her.

It was a rather strange-looking plant.

“It looks like a tulip.”

“Yes. Well, it’s not a tulip. And the seeds are inside the buds, like the seeds of a fruit.”

“Where can I find it?”

“The top of the mountain.”

“Is this normal?”

“Yes. They say there is one tree blooming on each mountain peak.”

“May I ask why you are looking for seeds of this plant?”

“You don’t need to know that.”

Hyunjin decided not to ask any more questions, thinking that he had not yet earned Jaewoo’s trust to that extent.

In fact, what the Footsteps Group was looking for through their investigators was not only the raw materials for the treatment of the Haze virus, but also the raw materials for treating various infectious diseases.

The raw material for the treatment, which grows only in areas with relatively high elevations, was first discovered by the Balbal Group and they attempted to mass-produce it.

However, the failure threatened to disrupt the mass production of the cure.

It was then confirmed that this raw material plant began growing in alpine regions around the world.

This raw plant grew by producing spores like a bracken fern.

Although the spores could be carried quite far by the wind, they died at lower elevations.

In the end, it only grew above the height of the Gaema Plateau on the Korean Peninsula.

The plant grows from spores that fall naturally, and produces therapeutic raw materials by harvesting them, as they have the characteristic of not growing artificially.

The treatments produced in this way played a major role in establishing South Korea as a hegemonic power.

There were also raw materials that could be used to make cancer treatments, various infectious disease treatments, and even hair loss treatments, and explorers were searching the world for these raw materials.

The problem was that these cures existed deep in the wilderness where no human being lived.

To be exact, they were things Jincheol had brought from a lost world that was much more medically advanced than Earth.

At first, I only planned to bring the raw materials for the treatment of the Haze Virus, but through Dr. Olivia, I acquired the raw materials for treatments of other diseases, and spread these plants to remote areas where people do not go, such as near the equator.

Although there was a purpose of training Hyunjin, the plants and raw materials in question did not grow near human habitats and sometimes acted as strong poisons to people.

One of the raw materials, the luminous spores, emit strong toxicity when attached to soil or rocks, but are used as raw materials for various therapeutic agents.

“All right.”

“Then thank you for your hard work.”

As Hyun-jin went out of Jae-woo’s office, Jae-woo saw the flowers of the Chinese chives blooming.

“Whew! How long will I have to endure my nephew’s hatred? Where on earth is that Jincheol? How many of these coupons do I have to collect?”

As the flowers of the wild chrysanthemum bloomed, I obtained a coupon for sleeping from the flower.

Jaewoo, who had acquired the coupon, threw the coupon into his drawer and closed the drawer.

“Hyunjin. Find your father quickly. I only trust you.”

Jaewoo just wanted to tell Hyunjin his secret, but he sighed when he realized he couldn’t.

In fact, I myself kept forgetting it from time to time.

It seemed like there was a ban on cashing out.
