Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 28
Only Noblemtl
Episode 28
‘Although Choi Sung-hyun’s talents haven’t fully blossomed yet, that’s something that will work out as time goes by.’
With that in mind, Sehyuk opened his mouth.
“Bicycles and motorcycles. Can you fix broken ones?”
In a destroyed world, the existence of a means of transportation is the minimum requirement to avoid death by isolation.
Now is the time to think about transportation.
“A bicycle would be easy. A motorcycle would probably be possible.”
“Okay. Then let’s go rescue them together later.”
In an apocalyptic world where monsters rule, simply wandering outside carries with it a risk.
So it is inevitably difficult to move far.
Without the ability to survive and without a means of transportation, they will eventually eat up all the materials around them and die.
‘Until now, I’ve only walked to places that were a 10-minute walk away.’
Sehyuk also only went back and forth between the broken shopping district and its vicinity.
As part of a strategic choice not to do anything risky.
‘But it’s time to expand our scope of activities.’
Sehyuk and his group have become quite strong now.
Enough to be able to deal with groups of melee weapon-wielding, capable marauders without difficulty.
Secrets hidden around here.
Now we’re ready to unearth those secrets.
And, for Sehyuk’s purpose, a vehicle was absolutely necessary.
‘I have to go to Seoul someday.’
Because the origin is in Seoul.
Of course, it has to have that much strength.
In the long term, we need to secure a means of transportation to get to Seoul.
Now is the moment when the first step begins.
Sehyuk took Choi Sunghyun for a quick tour around the house.
“This is my house. If there’s a problem, ring the doorbell in the yard. Then I’ll come in.”
The moment Sehyuk finished saying that and was about to enter the house.
Choi Sung-hyun showed a hesitant attitude.
An attitude where you have something to say but can’t say it.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Is it true that, by any chance, Cha Ye-seong can make prophecies?”
“It’s true.”
Hearing that, Choi Sung-hyun’s face became determined as if he had made up his mind about something.
As soon as Sehyuk saw him, he knew what the man was going to say.
“Are you curious about the life and death of your parents?”
“How did you know my parents?”
Choi Sung-hyun makes an expression as if he has met a ghost.
Sehyuk gave him an indifferent look.
“While I was at it, anyone would know. Okay. Okay.”
Sehyuk turned around and headed back to the mansion where the three of them lived.
Se-hyeok was also quite concerned about whether Choi Sung-hyun’s parents were alive.
He is also Korean, a person from the Confucian cultural sphere.
Since we became allies, I wanted to find at least my parents.
I feel a little bad about suddenly calling Cha Ye-seong out at night, but I think he’ll understand.
Ding dong.
With that in mind, Se-hyeok rang the doorbell of the house where Cha Ye-seong lived.
“I came here because I needed a prophecy. I’m sorry.”
Boom!
Cha Ye-seong doesn’t come out even after ringing the doorbell.
Instead, there was a sound of something falling inside the house.
“Wh, what’s going on!”
Soon, Cha Ye-seong appeared, gasping for breath.
Se-hyeok looked around Cha Ye-seong’s room in silence.
To find out why I came out late.
When she felt Se-hyeok turn his gaze into the room, Cha Ye-seong hurriedly spread her arms and covered the room.
“Man, you shouldn’t look into other people’s rooms without permission!”
But Sehyuk had already seen it.
Hiding beneath her blanket were numerous aluminum cans and green glass bottles.
The room itself was very clean and had a cozy atmosphere.
Clean white wallpaper, a fluffy blanket, and neatly arranged books.
At first glance, the room resembles a hotel or a high-class study.
It certainly would have been the case if it weren’t for the bottles in question.
“If you’ve had a drink, make sure you handle it properly.”
“No, there’s nowhere to throw it away now.”
Cha Ye-seong places bottles of alcohol on the floor as if he is embarrassed.
Her face was as red as a carrot.
“If you leave it outside, I’ll clean it up. By the way, I’m sorry about last night.”
“No. If you call me even at dawn, I have to run there. So what is it?”
Instead of speaking, Sehyuk pushed Choi Sunghyun forward.
“What is it?”
Cha Ye-seong looks at Choi Sung-hyun with narrowed eyes.
Instead, he intended to speak, but Choi Sung-hyun just rolled his eyes around as if he couldn’t get the words out of his head.
Eventually, Sehyuk lowered his eyes and spoke instead.
“This guy is curious about the fate of his parents.
“Oh, I was looking into it personally. I thought it might be helpful.”
Cha Ye-seong nodded with an expression of understanding.
She too has to find her parents.
Same situation.
And Cha Ye-seong let out a small sigh and trailed off.
“Mr. Choi Sung-hyun’s parents… I think they’re alive, but I’m not sure.”
I know he’s alive, but I have no idea what he’s doing or where he is.
The situation is worse than that of Cha Ye-seong’s parents, who are presumed to be in the Suwon area.
Still, Choi Sung-hyun smiled.
“I’m just glad to know you’re alive.”
Although Choi Sung-hyun’s eyes were filled with tears as he said those words.
The eyes were filled with hope and longing.
Tub.
At that moment, Sehyuk grabbed Choi Sunghyun’s shoulder.
“Don’t be weak.”
“ah….”
“Cha Ye-seong’s parents, that is, Mr. Go Jeong-hwan’s older sister and her husband? Anyway, I promised to find them too. If your parents are still alive, I will definitely find them for you.”
Sehyuk looked at Goh Jeonghwan with an expressionless face.
Still, Go Jeong-hwan could feel something in that expression.
“Strictly speaking, it’s not me who finds it for you. It’s you who finds it. With your own strength.”
Although his expression is stern, Sehyuk is a dependable person who keeps his word.
“I will make it so.”
Seonghyeon Choi, who was looking at Sehyuk who was speaking without any change in expression, let out a small laugh as he watched him.
“Okay. Let me do it quickly. In return, I will learn how to become stronger.”
“Really? Then let’s look around together a little more. Is that okay?”
Se-hyeok took Choi Seong-hyeon to his mansion.
It was to inspect the facilities inside the house and to find out what level of Choi Sung-hyun’s abilities were.
These were things that had to be done since we brought Sunghyun Choi.
For a brief moment, Choi Sung-hyun disappeared to inspect the facilities inside the house.
Soon after, Choi Sung-hyun came out of the kitchen management office, wiping away sweat.
“There’s nothing that needs to be fixed inside the house. And as for the electrical and plumbing systems inside the house.”
Choi Sung-hyun looked around the house.
“I don’t know when it will turn off. I think it’s still running because there are still parts of the infrastructure that are alive outside.”
And Choi Sung-hyun briefly talked about the related content.
‘Does capital need a water source and electricity needs a generator?’
Choi Sung-hyun concluded that the system was still maintained thanks to water pipes, water tanks, and power plants that had not yet been destroyed.
“Then is it possible to supply it on our own? Can we make generators and water purifiers?”
“I can make it, but it requires too many materials for my ability.”
And Choi Sung-hyun started to explain again, hesitating.
“To summarize.”
“It’s difficult to make a water purifier, but even if we could make one, bringing that much water here would be a huge undertaking.”
“You don’t have to bring it. The water purifier itself is worth trying.”
The material will eventually run out.
‘You may have water bottles from the store now, but later on you may have to drink rainwater or stagnant water from the lake.
If it’s rainwater, it’s noble.
Stagnant stagnant water on the lake shore, and the parasites that may be in it.
Sehyuk didn’t want to go back to those days again.
‘In the end, there is only one answer. We need to improve Choi Sung-hyun’s machine-handling skills.’
As the destruction began, humans began to understand a little more about the powers they possessed.
Before the regression, people called that ability ‘talent’.
‘The way to develop talent is to continue to act in a related field. The more you succeed in difficult tasks, the more you develop.’
With that power, those who awakened magical powers were able to create things that did not previously exist.
‘There’s no way it’s impossible for Choi Sung-hyun.’
Sehyuk immediately started checking Choi Sunghyun’s power.
“Tell me what you learned after the destruction began.”
“Well, I think I learned a little more about other fields that I had previously learned about in passing.”
Choi Sung-hyun continued speaking.
His level is roughly that of being able to recycle scrap metal to create existing items.
‘If you can recycle scrap metal, that’s pretty high-level technology, isn’t it?’
It seems like he can’t use magic power yet, but I can teach him.
“Okay. I like it.”
“Thank you. But, why?”
Sehyuk laughs so hard the corners of his mouth split open when he sees Choi Sunghyun.
At the bright expression of the person who had never done so, Choi Sung-hyun began to tremble slightly with an anxious expression.
“I have something to tell you. You will follow it without question, right?”
There is only one thing to do to unleash your potential.
Infinite effort.
That’s it.
Because there is no royal road to development.
As soon as the sun rose, Se-hyeok left the house with Choi Seong-hyeon.
It was to find the tools that Choi Sung-hyun had left in the store.
Fortunately, the professional construction company was still in the same condition as when Se-hyeok took Choi Sung-hyun away.
I considered the possibility that thieves had broken in, but ruled it out considering there were few survivors around.
‘Just in case, I brought a monster corpse and blocked the entrance.’
Sehyuk looked at the pile of monster corpses piled in front of the broken glass door of the professional construction company.
It is a device to prevent the weak from entering, and at the same time, it is a kind of warning.
To show that this is the realm of people who can kill monsters like this.
If it were an ordinary person, they would go back even if it was out of anxiety.
If you are a strong person, you will definitely meet him someday.
“Clean up.”
After lifting the bodies one by one and placing them down next to each other, Se-hyeok and Choi Seong-hyeon went into the construction company.
“Choi Sung-hyun. Do you remember what we talked about yesterday?”
“Are you saying that I should try to make as many things as possible with the tools?”
“okay.”
“Oh, of course I remember.”
The concept of ‘talent’ emerged as destruction began.
According to pre-regression studies, the more effort you put in, the more your talent grows significantly.
That’s why Sehyuk made up his mind.
I’m going to drive Choi Sung-hyun crazy.
“Make sure to pack tools that can be used to make things rather than materials. Materials can be replaced somehow.”
“All right.”
While Sehyuk looked around the store again, Choi Sunghyun went inside as usual.
“Then I will pack the necessary items.”
After leaving those words, Choi Sung-hyun disappeared.
Sehyuk recalled his memories for a moment, then opened the tool box next to his desk.
‘You said it was here?’
He didn’t come here simply to carry Choi Sung-hyun’s burden.
His hands slowly picked up the tools in the tool case.
Shovels, hammers, sickles, etc.
Not the ordinary ones, but the large, crude tools used in actual construction work.
These tools were essential to Sehyuk’s plan.
Because there were plans to build many structures around it.
To protect the house.
* * * After returning with Choi Sung-hyun and the construction company’s tools.
Sehyuk was sitting on the sofa in the mansion, turning the frequency on the old radio.
It was something I did periodically.
To find out what the surviving survivors are doing and what the situation is in other areas.
Most of the time, no transmissions are received, but this work is originally done with a small hope in mind.
To hear the little news that comes across every now and then.
Sehyuk continued to turn the frequency without saying a word.
In the midst of that, Sehyuk’s hand stopped.
A frequency that is caught while making a noise.
Inside, a young man’s voice began to be heard.
Sehyuk’s face hardened as he listened to the voice carefully.
[Ah, ah. Can you hear me? I am transmitting this for the public good, even if it means straining my ability.]
[A typhoon is making landfall. It will bring strong winds, rain, and thunderstorms.]
‘Is this finally the time?’
This typhoon wasn’t one that was supposed to come and then suddenly disappeared.
It is a typhoon that would have gone down in history as causing record damage if civilization still existed.
‘Damn. If this happens, we’ll have to prepare for flooding. And we’ll have to pray that the power plant and water pipes don’t burst.’
Typhoon and heavy rain.
A disaster that strikes hard even when civilization is intact.
Now is the apocalypse era, when all countermeasures have collapsed.
‘If any damage is done, the negative effects will be irreparable.’
In addition, there is one more problem.
The first day after the destruction when a typhoon and heavy rain hit.
The future that lies ahead.
At that time, a troublesome disaster occurs that must be prevented.
Before the return, the humans who blocked Sehyuk’s path.
Those scumbag enemies who were trying to kill him.
If we leave that disaster alone, they will reap huge rewards.
