The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 399



Only Noblemtl

Episode 399 North Korea.

“… … Since when has it been like this?”

“I think it’s been about half a day.”

After arriving at the 423rd Battalion

The first thing I saw was Private Park Tae-jun sitting near the radar, shaking.

“Ugh.”

With your eyes closed.

A guy shaking and bleeding from his mouth.

“Is it okay for me to stay here like this? I need treatment… …!”

Unlike in the past.

Our unit, which had some spare time, had dispatched several troops to the 423rd Battalion.

Taejun also had a therapist to treat the guy’s leg.

“You can’t touch it now!”

“what?”

“Sergeant Park Tae-jun strongly advised me. He said that he might act a little strange, but you must never touch him… …!”

Even the therapist couldn’t do anything

I watched the guy tremble.

“Suddenly, what is this… … .”

“We don’t know either. You said that guests were coming today and that we had to prepare to welcome them… … and then suddenly you did this.”

I was embarrassed by the sight.

soon.

“… … Cool.”

“… … !”

A guy who spits blood out of his mouth once.

And then.

“ah…….”

The guy who had been trembling with his eyes closed opened his eyes.

He looked at my face and smiled faintly.

“It’s been a while.”

“You, Inma… … !”

***

Private Park Tae-jun, who was released from his bizarre state, was immediately taken to the infirmary.

I also followed him to the infirmary and asked the man receiving treatment.

“Are you… … okay?”

“For now.”

But you say it’s okay.

The guy who’s still dripping with cold sweat.

“What happened all of a sudden?”

“It’s nothing, just.”

The guy took a sip of water and said.

“I used my abilities a bit.”

“Astrology? If you use that, it will turn out like that?”

I frowned at those words.

It’s true that the guy has been a bit of a troublemaker lately.

It was the legs that were the problem, I’ve never seen him use his abilities like this.

Rather, before his legs became like that, he was a guy who was good at exercising and in good health.

“Just think of it as me overdoing it a bit. I knew this would happen.”

“You knew… … What did you do to make it so difficult? No, in the first place.”

Those soldiers said.

He said he had to prepare because guests were coming.

That is to say.

“You knew I was coming… … so you went out of your way to come?”

The guy was expecting my visit and was making a fuss.

Isn’t that what happened as a result?

Let’s think about it that way.

I couldn’t help but frown.

‘… … Well, there was a separate reason why I wanted to visit here.’

The barriers blocking each region were opened.

What will happen in the future?

It’s a situation where nothing is expected.

‘A guy who until recently was practicing astrology that was almost like prophecy.’

If it’s Private Park Tae-jun’s ability.

I just thought I might get some hints about what’s going to happen next.

“I never told you to do something like this.”

“It’s not necessarily like that.”

I never wanted to push myself to demonstrate that ability.

Let me say this with a frown.

A guy who laughs bitterly.

“Do you remember what I said before?”

“What kind of thing.”

“If that barrier disappears, my astrology will also become weaker.”

“… … I did say something like that.”

This guy’s astrology is.

Astrology, despite its name, is heavily influenced by geography.

Private Park Tae-jun is one of the officers in our unit.

In fact, that level was far from being enough to be called a leader level.

Because I was in a position where I couldn’t move properly in the first place, it was difficult to gain experience.

However, this position had a great influence on his ability to demonstrate overwhelming abilities.

When the places to see are limited to Gangwon-do due to that barrier.

Even in Gangwon-do, where our unit was stationed, the high mountains provided a significant advantage.

After that barrier is gone.

I said that the moment you have to travel all over South Korea, that advantage will disappear.

“So? What does that have to do with the current situation?”

“Well, it was worse than I expected.”

“what?”

“Actually… … Until recently, astrology itself was not even used.”

“… … !”

This was the first time I heard this.

I heard that the barrier would open and the abilities would be weakened.

There was no reason why one could not use force.

“Right after that barrier disappeared, I tried to look at the stars as usual. But.”

and.

The reason was not unfamiliar to me.

“There are too many impurities in that universe.”

“Impurity?”

The guy looked up at the sky.

He said with a frown.

“When I looked up at the sky like this, I saw stars against the black background of space. My astrology was based on those stars. Our unit was especially good at seeing the stars, so we were able to demonstrate abilities that were honestly beyond our capabilities.”

“Is something different now?”

“My abilities haven’t changed. But now I see different things in that universe.”

“Other things?”

“At first I thought they were a new type of stars… … but they weren’t.”

The guy seemed uncomfortable looking at them for too long.

He said, looking up at the sky.

“It was the pupil.”

“… … .”

“This may sound harsh, but listen carefully, Youngjun.”

A guy who opens his mouth with a frown.

“Something unidentifiable. Out there… … looking this way.”

“… … .”

***

Something unidentified looking out from outside.

Taejun was grimacing as if he felt uncomfortable just thinking about its existence.

I thought I knew what it was.

‘Beings from outside the world.’

And, that’s why.

Honestly, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘This guy… … discovered those beings on his own?’

I was barely able to recognize them with the help of my foreknowledge.

Unlike me.

Taejun succeeded in perceiving those beings with his own power alone.

“I don’t know why they’re looking here, but I don’t think their intentions are good.”

“… … .”

“Well, it doesn’t really matter what their intentions are. What’s more important is that their presence interferes with my astrology.”

“They are bothering you?”

“I don’t do it on purpose. My ability is based on observing stars, and they are similar in size to stars. It’s bound to be confusing, right? So I had to rework my astrology a bit to match them.”

A guy shrugging his shoulders with a pale complexion.

“It’s not that I’m being unreasonable because you came. It was something I had to do, but I just kept putting it off because I wanted to put it off so much.”

“… … .”

“No matter how much I don’t want to do it, I have to do it since the commander is coming, right?”

“… … Phew. So, so? Did you find out anything?”

Let me say this with a sigh.

“Ahem. It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face, so I’d like to chat about this and that, but… … Unfortunately, I’m not feeling well… … Let’s get straight to the point.”

The guy straightened his posture.

He said, taking a posture that made it seem like there was something there.

“Right now, is there a radio our unit is transmitting on?”

“uh.”

“That… … It would be better to hide information about us.”

“… … ?”

Suddenly, I tilted my head, wondering what this meant.

Taejun said with a frown.

“Our secret is leaking somewhere.”

“what?”

“I don’t know exactly where. It’s probably somewhere beyond my reach. But, there are those far away… … who are getting information about us.”

I had no choice but to open my eyes wide.

Even if that barrier opened, the guy’s power was weakened.

It was closer to a decrease in density as the range of that ability expanded.

The guy’s abilities must be targeting the entire Korean peninsula right now.

however.

Information about us is spreading beyond Taejun’s abilities.

This is it.

‘A barrier that has not yet been opened.’

In a foreign country.

Because it meant that information about us was known.

“I wondered how this was possible… … but only one thing came to mind.”

“It’s a radio.”

Radio that can be transmitted over that barrier.

Through that radio, there are those who are gathering information about us.

‘That radio’s transmission range isn’t very wide either.’

maybe.

It must be some country close to us.

“If we just kept revealing the monsters’ weaknesses like we did before, then we could do it. However, it wouldn’t be a good thing if others found out about us.”

“in other words?”

“As for information about us, information we know, etc… … it would be better to keep it hidden.”

He said with an anxious look in his eyes.

“I don’t think the intentions are good.”

***

Anyway, like that.

After looking around Gangwon-do as a whole, I returned to Chuncheon.

‘… … The weather is leaking, huh?’

It’s a somewhat plausible word, though.

Ultimately, it means that there is a force somewhere overseas that is collecting information about us.

I wish it were human though.

‘It may or may not be human, that’s it.’

If Taejun said something like that, there’s a high chance that the information gathering wasn’t done with good intentions.

In the future, there will be restrictions on transmitting information via radio.

If we ever need to convey any information about ourselves, it will be verbal, not radio.

So, the way to do it is to go directly to those who need to receive the information and deliver it to them.

‘It’s going to be annoying.’

Thinking like that.

The moment I returned to Vimana… … .

“Sergeant Shin?”

“huh?”

There was a guy who came up to me and talked to me.

“Suhyuk? What’s going on?”

One of the few squad leaders in our unit.

It was Private Seo Su-hyeok.

“Could you please go somewhere with me for a moment?”

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“Actually.”

Private Seo Su-hyeok opened his mouth with an expression that seemed unusually nervous.

“After that barrier opened, there was something I really wanted to check.”

“hmm?”

“I’m going to check it out now… … I’d like Sergeant Shin to come with me.”

I don’t know what’s going on.

It’s quite rare for Soo-hyuk, and not any other guy, to ask me to go somewhere.

“… … I guess so.”

Now that I’m back in Gangwon-do.

There was a lot to do though.

There was nothing I couldn’t do to just hang out together for a little while.

A little while later.

I was riding in the vehicle with Private Seo Su-hyeok.

I left Chuncheon and started moving somewhere.

‘… … This car. Strangely, there is no vibration.’

A road that you travel on, leaving the driving to the engineers.

I opened my mouth while looking at Soo-hyuk.

“So, where do you want to go?”

“… … .”

Okay then.

The guy opened his mouth with a very serious expression.

“As you know, Corporal Shin, I can see beyond that barrier under certain conditions.”

“Oh, yeah. That’s right.”

[Shooters] have a basically long-range vision.

It’s not just shooters, most sniper-type jobs are like that.

There.

Suhyuk, this guy, after experiencing my cooking, all his senses became more sensitive.

The guy’s visibility was so unparalleled that no one in our unit could match it.

‘The black wall only appears when you get close.’

If it is a distance where no barriers appear.

The guy can see beyond it.

Through this power, Gyeonggi-do was able to communicate with Gangwon-do.

“After Corporal Shin crossed over to Gyeonggi-do, the corps secured territory in Gangwon-do… … and tested this power in many ways.”

“You want to try it?”

“I checked not only Gyeonggi-do, but also the lands bordering Gangwon-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do.”

“… … !”

In that regard.

I opened my eyes wide, looked at the guy’s face, and asked urgently.

“so!”

If you think about it, it’s obvious.

There’s no way the guy’s vision would only be activated against Gyeonggi-do.

“What happened!?”

At the time I moved to Gyeonggi-do, the southern part of Gangwon-do had not been occupied.

Now that the legion has succeeded in occupying Gangwon Province.

It’s normal for the guy to be able to check out the areas in the south as well.

……but.

“Unfortunately, there were no major findings.”

“… … .”

“The area near the wall is so hot that it’s hard for people to live there. Since it’s an environment that’s hard for people to live in in the first place, we haven’t been able to confirm what happened to the people there.”

“I see.”

“I thought about asking the survivors to come near the barrier through the radio… … but I gave up because I thought there might be unnecessary casualties.”

Even our unit, which has the ability to build up its own level of tolerance.

Anyone except for someone like me who had basic fire resistance would have a hard time even getting near that barrier.

Gyeonggi-do, the cold air from those ‘Belsnickels’ helped to ease the heat of the wall.

Humans from other regions would not have been able to even approach Soo-hyuk within sight of the guy.

“I guess you could call me a substitute.”

“huh?”

“There is one more place I haven’t checked yet.”

what?

“That place alone I couldn’t see it with my own eyes. Perhaps the barrier seemed stronger than in other areas.”

“… … ?”

“Then. Now that [Beginner Protection] is over. Now that the barrier’s power is weakened… … I thought maybe I could see it?”

A guy who continues talking as if it were a given.

but.

I couldn’t help but tilt my head at the guy’s words.

‘Isn’t the land bordering Gangwon-do only Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do?’

There are places you haven’t checked.

I was wondering what else I could check here.

“Not below… … I’m talking about above.”

“topside?”

Only then did I.

I could figure out where this car was going.

“You… … No way!”

“yes.”

Gangwon-do is the northernmost province of South Korea.

Let’s say it’s further north from here.

“I would like to find out about the situation in North Korea.”

Because there is only one place.
