Episode 89

The real soldiers looked at me as if they couldn’t believe it.

“Are you sure there’s more milk exactly like this?”

“Can you get me some real milk? This milk is really delicious!”

I smiled at the soldiers and asked.

“Where does fresh milk come from?”

“It’s a cow.”

“Yes. I raise that cow, and that’s why it has such fresh and delicious milk.”

The milk in the bottle was freshly squeezed milk today.

As the mosquitoes disappeared, the livestock in the eastern floating seaweed area grew plump and the dairy cows produced rich, fresh milk.

Even though I don’t like milk, it was so rich and delicious because it was the first time in a while that I had milk.

So I brought it with me in a bottle on purpose.

Nurse Jang said that the milk I drank had been pasteurized, so it couldn’t help but taste worse than fresh, raw milk from the cow.

“Should I get you some more milk? No, should I add milk supply as an option to the mercenary contract?”

“yes!”

The soldiers shouted together.

“Then, you guys will protect the cows.”

“Don’t worry. If you can drink milk, I will protect you as a VIP even if it means sacrificing my body.”

The soldiers beat their chests and made a promise.

Here, the defenses east of Trash Island have been solidified.

Haha! I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Detective Kim! You’re the best!”

The soldiers rushed to me, cheering, and tried to throw themselves at me.

I hurriedly dodged and warned.

“You guys, if you make me float even a little bit in the air, there will be no milk.”

Only then did the soldiers’ excitement die down.

Maybe it’s because the kids have been on the boat for so long, but they’re a bit unstable.

Well, I guess I’ll feel better once I get to the island.

Then, shall we now lead the traps and go negotiate with Commissioner Son?

I did most of the peace negotiations with the Navy, and I carried out this infiltration all by myself, so I definitely need to get some bang for my buck in these negotiations.

* * *

Commissioner Son’s expression hardened.

“So, you want the North Earth?”

“Yes. There’s nothing but shit there anyway, right? And considering how dedicated I’ve been to Dream Island so far, I think that’s more than I can ask for.”

I looked Commissioner Son in the eye.

The two of us glared at each other without giving an inch.

“Just give it to me. Detective Kim, you’ve worked hard all this time. Not only did you save the island, but you even made the Navy surrender to us?”

“That’s right! And fortunately, we were able to negotiate a reasonable compromise with the Navy and form an irregular force.”

“Yes. Financial issues aside, if we had taken a risk and accepted the Navy as a regular employee, too much power would have been given to the Commander-in-Chief, and some guy could have become a dictator like a governor.”

Commissioner Son’s political opponent, Commissioner Nam, looked at Commissioner Son as if he was the culprit.

I have oiled the committee members a bit through Hyunwoo’s father.

I slaughtered a few chickens from the Eastern District and they were very happy.

Even if I hadn’t oiled it, they would have actively opposed the strengthening of Chairman Son’s power.

Well, thanks to that, the Navy got some pretty good terms, including permanent residence and port stationing of ships on the island, provision of food and water, and prior consent to attack orders, so it wasn’t a waste of a chicken.

Still, my words played a bigger role in the negotiation.

In some ways, debating and negotiating with politicians was similar to dealing with gangsters or criminals.

Rationality and irrationality, absurdity and just cause, and fierce battles of wits and brains.

I had a tongue that was honed from fighting with those who lied without blinking an eye.

It’s unlikely that you’ll get tired.

I said, straining my eyes even more.

“With the help of a mermaid, I’ll make a sewer and clean up all that poop for you. What do you think?”

“As expected! Detective Kim! Where can you find someone who contributes to the island like this?”

“The dirty streets will become cleaner thanks to Detective Kim.”

“Commissioner Son! This will make public health, a long-cherished dream of Dream Island, possible. You must sign quickly before Detective Kim changes his mind.”

Even the unoiled commissioners were excited by my proposal and pressured Commissioner Son.

To them, feces and sewage are just smelly garbage, but to the floating seaweeds, they are an extremely nutritious source of nutrients and fertilizer.

Commissioner Son took a long breath and muttered.

“Haa~ The northern part of the Earth will become Alaska.”

Russia sold Alaska to the United States, and vast oil and other resources were discovered in Alaska.

‘What if Russia had never sold Alaska?’ That’s one of the historical assumptions that many people make.

Chairman Son signed the contract and shook my hand.

“I lost, Detective Kim!”

“Yes, it is. It is a win-win situation for both parties. I felt it once again during the negotiations. Chairman Son is the right person to take the position of the tyrant of Dream Island.”

“Haha! Thank you for saying that. I’ll help you a lot.”

My support made Commissioner Son, who had been feeling defeated, feel better.

The interim presidency held by Commissioner Son was about to end, and new elections were scheduled to be held.

If I, the hero who saved the island, supported it, then the tyrant was a given.

The agreement between the Navy and the Islands made me a landowner.

He may be the richest landowner in the world, submerged in water.

These were also lands whose utility would increase in the future.

In addition, the land will gradually become more crowded with the proliferation of floating seaweed and debris washed up by the tide.

But the lands were still close to the original ore.

Not only was it barren and desolate, like Mars or the moon, but it was also fraught with hazards, including sewage, leaked toxic chemicals, and aquatic pests like mosquitoes.

That is why there is a task, like terraforming, that must be pioneered and developed so that humans can survive.

First, we’ll deploy experts and the navy among the apartment residents, and once things are somewhat sorted out, we’ll accept the pioneers.

As I was leaving the Capitol building, planning out the terraforming plans in my head, Bomi ran up to me with a look of discontent on her face.

“mister!”

“Hey, Bomi!”

“Sir, when are you going to leave to look for Jiyeon?”

From the moment the Navy was brought in, Bomi was eager to leave for the Ark Tower quickly.

But there is an order to everything.

If the rear is not organized, even if you save Jiyeon, you may not be able to return.

In a world submerged in water, the issue of fuel and food supplies became a matter of survival.

“We’re almost ready. We’ll be leaving soon. By the way, Bomi, have you finished the investigation of the hatchery I asked you to do?”

“Yes. I searched it thoroughly.”

“I know. I said I would analyze the findings and report back.”

“Here it is.”

Bomi handed me the document with a confident look on her face.

The document was handwritten, and it was quite complete, with even photos attached to the drawings.

“You, Jungwoo did this for you.”

“Huh! How did you know?”

Bomi stuck out her tongue.

“But I worked harder on the investigation. I was the one who found the experimental records there.”

Bomi found a folder in a crevice in the wall of the incubator.

Bomi and I suspected that Jiyeon had hidden the documents on purpose, but we couldn’t know for sure.

The document contained something like an experimental record.

However, since some of the content was written in cryptic symbols, it was impossible to know exactly what the experiment was.

I said, looking through the documents.

“Oh, Doctor, you’ve finished your interpretation.”

Dr. Oh had studied the Ark’s inscriptions to the point where he could read them.

Bomi flipped through the pages of the document and pointed to a place.

“Yes. He told me what he interpreted through satellite communication. Here, it says that he conducted an experiment to synthesize sea lotus stamens with mermaid eggs.”

I thought the Ark Church was trying to secure water by purifying it with the pistils of the sea lotus, but it turns out they were trying to create a new egg.

If you eat an egg made this way, the ability characteristics you acquire through transformation will change.

But, as in the case of the Governor, the success of the experiment may not have been easy.

“Hmm. The experiment seems to have made some progress. The problem is that the addiction is so strong that it’s hard to control the subject. So they’re going to try to improve it using red pufferfish poison. However, the experiment failed due to the subject’s death.”

They also made eggs with various other ingredients.

Among them were hundreds of thousands of people.

It was created by extracting the core of a hundred thousand mermaids and combining it with a mermaid’s egg.

After countless failures, I finally succeeded.

It was said that the Hundred Thousand Eggs could control other living creatures like the Hundred Thousand Eggs.

But unlike the Hundred Thousand Dungeon, which implants thorns and is remotely controlled, it must be placed near the brain of the creature it is intended to control.

What the heck! Under these conditions, what kind of creatures can I control?

Something like a whale might be possible.

I can’t know for sure because not all of the experiments written in the document were completely completed, but I think I have a rough idea of ​​what kind of supernatural abilities would be manifested and what kind of physical changes would occur if I ate a certain egg and was transformed.

Since information is absolutely crucial in battles with enemies, even just this much would be equivalent to turning on a map hack in SXcraft.

If you see someone who seems stronger than you, run away, and fight a weaker enemy, isn’t that a surefire strategy?

“haha!”

When I burst out laughing, Bomi glanced at me and said,

“Sir, I feel like I’ve been having a lot of fun by myself lately. Do you have any women hidden away? Or did you find some dirty magazines in the trash?”

Human sexual desire remained intact even when the world was underwater.

Among the traded goods, sex-related products were not only traded in large quantities, but also quite expensive.

And, unofficially, shops where women served men and men served women were also thriving.

“No. You know that, Bomi. I live the life of a monk who looks at women like stones.”

I said solemnly.

Perhaps because it was related to survival, expanding the land and acquiring resources was much more fun than dating women.

And it was much more rewarding and enjoyable to defeat the Ark guys one by one.

“Hehehe. Human women are probably boring. It’s much more fun to play with pretty mermaids, so they stay in the water all the time. When are you going to rescue Jiyeon?”

Bomi smiled strangely at me.

The mermaids were transformed into the mermaids from movies and fairy tales under the oppressive diet of Mermaid Queen Hyang-i and Nurse Jang.

The islanders, who avoided the mermaids because they were considered ugly and rough, even went on a tour to the west, where the mermaids reside, just to admire their beauty.

“What are you talking about? I told you, you train in the water.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll believe you.”

I felt wronged, but I changed the subject because I thought it would sound like an excuse if I said more.

“They said the Hallasan Lake renovation is complete. Let’s leave when the trading ship that went to the apartment returns!”

“Wow! Alright! Wait! Jiyeon! I’ll go save you!”
