Apocalypse in Water Episode 9

Episode 9

I wanted to open the window right now and scream for help.

Should I reflect light with a mirror to let people know I’m here, or make a flag that says SOS?

No, wouldn’t it be better to set it on fire to make it stand out?

Anyway, once the structure is built, it’s goodbye to this apartment full of monsters.

Ah! Wait a minute. There’s that wee monster I saw yesterday.

Even though it’s daytime, I wonder if it won’t react to light.

Then it might end before it’s even structured.

As I recalled the sight of the raccoon monster, my excited mind calmed down.

I shook my head vigorously once.

It won’t work. It won’t work.

I muttered to myself as if giving advice.

“Caution and patience save lives in the field.”

The submerged apocalypse is as urgent and dangerous as the scene itself.

You can’t afford to let your guard down for even a moment.

I analyzed the current situation objectively.

Then, vulnerabilities in the situation that had been hastily judged began to appear.

If that transport isn’t coming to rescue the survivors in the apartment, but to take refuge in our apartment.

No matter how much I looked around, it was a vast ocean except for our apartment.

I still don’t know why only our apartment survived.

If that transport plane had been on a transport mission and had been aloft since yesterday.

You must have seen the world submerged in water from above.

Then shouldn’t we somehow find a place to land?

Or, when the military airport was under water, they took off in a hurry and tried to fly to a higher altitude airport, but the world was already underwater.

Both hypotheses seemed much more plausible than the hope that they had been dispatched to rescue survivors from the apartment.

I crossed my arms and looked at the transport plane.

They’re taking refuge in our apartment, which is a bit suspicious.

First of all, our apartment doesn’t have a runway.

A helicopter might be able to land on the roof, but a plane wouldn’t be able to land there.

Still coming here, maybe you’re out of fuel?

In fact, the altitude of the transport aircraft was gradually decreasing.

I hoped that transport plane would arrive, either to rescue or to evacuate.

In a world submerged in water, there was the preciousness of life, but the items in the transporter were also coveted.

Military supplies were highly reliable in terms of durability and strength.

And if the transported goods are weapons like guns, they will be quite useful in dealing with monsters.

Moreover, if they had taken off to avoid the world from going underwater, it was expected that they would have had a lot of survival supplies.

“Over here! Please save me!”

At that moment, a scream was heard.

I turned my head to find where the sound was coming from.

It was building 106.

Men and women were leaning out of the windows and shouting at the top of their lungs.

I was trying to warn him that it might be dangerous, but the man set off a firecracker.

The fireworks bloomed beautifully like flowers.

The woman also turned up the brightness of her cell phone and waved it around like a fan at a concert.

Oh my god! That damn monster is going to appear.

But I took a chance and shouted.

“Hey! It’s dangerous. Put the firecrackers away and turn off your cellphones immediately.”

The man and woman turned around at my warning, but looked at me with an expression as if asking what I was talking about.

The two just kept muttering, but they didn’t throw away the firecrackers or turn off their phones.

I yelled at them again.

“It’s dangerous. Hide the light right now!”

“Nam Isa. What does it matter if I’m holding fire or shit?”

The man frowned and shouted.

The woman muttered loudly as if to be heard.

“He’s trying to do everything to get rescued first. The transport plane is really big. Seriously.”

I felt frustrated, but it wasn’t the first time I’d encountered a situation where someone who had been saved from drowning was asked to hand over their bundle without hesitation.

Even though I protected him from a crime, he instead demanded compensation for the damage.

There is no need to be particularly kind or helpful to these people.

I nodded downwards with my chin.

“Why? You want to come down and have a go? You go down and jump into the water.”

The man kept swinging his sword without looking down.

The man’s personality didn’t seem good, but I thought that maybe he had become nervous and edgy as the world went underwater and his life became uncertain.

I no longer have the will or the will to help.

I saw a raccoon monster coming up.

I hurriedly closed the window.

The man looked down, perhaps sensing something strange about my behavior.

“Hey! What the f*ck!?”

The man and woman screamed in surprise.

The raccoon monster that appeared above the water was already climbing up the outer wall of Building 106.

Its countless legs and gnarled body gave it the unmistakable appearance of a civet, but its spherical head had only a mouth and long antennae.

The man and woman hurriedly hid inside and closed the window.

However, the raccoon monster remembered exactly which 18th floor they were hiding on and quickly climbed up.

I took out the monster guide and looked through it.

“Oh! Here it is.”

I found a picture that resembled a fox monster.

The name of the fox monster was Muljine.

It is said that the size ranges from as small as a little finger to as large as almost 10 meters tall.

It is said that the water snake moves by detecting light with its antennae and catches and eats its prey by secreting acid from its mouth that can melt steel.

The skin made of carapace is impervious to most attacks, but if damage occurs, it can be cut off like a lizard.

Even if the middle is damaged and cut off, surprisingly, the two sides can reassemble.

There were several additional explanations, one of which caught my eye was that the internal organs were very fragile and soft.

It felt like a clue to how to get rid of the water bug, but no specific method came to mind.

By the way, this monster encyclopedia is awesome.

It’s actually a lot more detailed than I thought.

Having this gives me the confidence that I won’t be easily defeated by those monster guys.

The water snake put its large mouth on the window through which the man and woman had escaped.

Then the glass melted.

Muljini went inside.

After a while, I thought I heard a scream, and then a water snake came out through the broken window.

“Hey you! You little monster!”

I waved and shouted at the water snake.

However, as written in the Aquatic Monster Guide, the water snake’s antennae seemed to have difficulty detecting sounds and movements.

As expected, the Water Monster Encyclopedia was a huge hit.

At that moment, ‘Boom!’ a sound of something breaking was heard.

I turned my head in surprise.

“Huh! What is it?”

The transport plane was under attack.

The left wing of the broken transport plane was seen falling off.

And then a huge object was seen going into the water, creating a splash.

There was a section on giant monsters in the monster guide, and the object I just entered seemed to be about that size.

The transport plane, which had lost its wings, tried to stay level, but its fuselage shook violently and it was about to crash.

Then again, a huge silver pillar rose up, creating a spray of water.

It was a giant monster with a pointed snout, sharp teeth, and a long silver body that could swallow a helicopter in one bite.

The monster saury spread its dorsal fin wide and waved it as it leapt forward with all its might.

The transport plane climbed upward with its nose up even though it had one wing missing.

The transporter staggered as if it would fall at any moment, but narrowly avoided the monster’s huge teeth.

“Whew~”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a long tongue shot out from the mouth of the monster saury that was falling into the water.

No, what kind of fish is that, I thought, isn’t this foul play?

The monster’s tongue wrapped around the transport ship’s fuselage like a noose, then tore it in two.

The cargo from the broken transport ship fell into the sea, as if the contents of a torn box had spilled out.

There were trucks and Hummers, and wheeled cannons in wooden and metal boxes.

Among them were human-shaped figures.

He fell straight into the water without a parachute.

“Oh my god! Shit! F**k!”

I let out a torrent of curses.

It wasn’t because people died and the items inside the transport ship couldn’t be rescued.

It was because I was overwhelmed by a giant monster in the sea.

How can we sail if there’s a guy like that?

I thought this apartment was unstable.

In a way, it wouldn’t have been strange if it had been submerged in water right now.

Because I didn’t know why I had to stay afloat.

I thought it would be better to build a ship and go out to sea.

Even if the water pours down enough to submerge you again, you will be able to withstand it stably, and if you sail and fish, you will also be able to secure food in the long term.

And I have to find those Ark guys and get revenge.

But there was a problem with putting this into practice right away.

The most important ships were missing, and water supplies were a problem.

Still, it seemed like there might be a way to solve it.

But should we give up when such a giant monster lurks in the sea?

I looked at the sea with a blank expression.

At that moment, a dazzling light poured down.

Hey! What is this? The sun hasn’t set yet.

The light flashed and disappeared repeatedly, as if sending a signal.

I frowned and chased the light pouring down on my face.

The light came from Building 108.

A young child was seen holding a small hand mirror on the 18th floor.

Who is it? A survivor?

The boy noticed that I was looking at him, so he put down the mirror and picked up a sketchbook so large that he had to stretch his arms out to see it.

The boy, who looked like an elementary school student, seemed calm even though it was the apocalypse.

It seems like he doesn’t have any parents or guardians. Is he a bold person? Or is there someone else hiding?

I don’t know what happened in Building 108, but maybe there was an urgent situation where he had to use violence to force his neighbors out to survive.

If so, wouldn’t it be that you discovered your own dark nature and stopped trusting other people?

As the boy turned the pages of his sketchbook, a drawing appeared.
