The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 445

Episode 445: Proposal for cooperation.

“… … You guys?”

“Hello, Mr. President.”

“I didn’t expect to see you here.”

The first ones to come out to greet us were people from Gyeonggi Province.

To begin with, this place is part of Gyeonggi-do.

Even if they haven’t yet exerted their influence throughout Gyeonggi Province, I expected they would be here.

“I thought it would be quicker for you to enter near the north, so if we were to meet, I thought it would be inside Seoul.”

and.

I looked at Jo Beom-seok, who was looking at us with a puzzled look on his face, and thought.

‘These people… don’t you remember what happened in there?’

Of course, me and the other unit members as well.

I had regained all my memories from back in Seoul.

However, they seemed not to remember what they had experienced in Seoul.

The reason is, probably.

‘They entered Seoul a little later than us.’

Obviously.

I remember they came the day after we entered Seoul.

And, there were a few repetitions.

The last time I fought with my godmother was on my first day in Seoul.

At the time when the Great Mother’s second world was demolished, they would not have entered Seoul.

This is just my guess though.

‘These people were treated as if they had never entered Seoul in the first place.’

Because I had never entered it in the first place.

I have no memory of what happened inside.

Perhaps the guild message I shared with the Gangwon-do legion inside there was also processed as if it never existed.

This is an other world created by the power of an ‘outside being.’

Although he has stepped down, he was a being of tremendous status.

Since this happened because of the interference of such a being, there are probably many parts that are difficult to understand with common sense.

and.

Those who were treated as if they had never entered Seoul at all… … .

“We were watching the situation from here. It looks like the inside is like that, so it’s not easy to get in.”

“Those people.”

“Our circumstances are the same. We came here at the invitation of Seoul, but it would be crazy to go inside… … So we joined here for now.”

Seoul, where hell is spread out.

As a result of waiting outside without being able to enter.

All the survivors who had come up from the south of Seoul joined here.

“Then it’s better.”

“How did it go?”

“It’s a trap.”

Lieutenant General Kim Hyeon-seok looked at them and said.

“A trap… …?”

“We went to Seoul as soon as we received the invitation message. Thanks to that, we already had some idea of ​​the situation in Seoul.”

“That quickly?”

“It’s a call from the government. It’s only natural that the military would respond immediately.”

No, that’s not a given.

I had great doubts as to whether that was the right call, and I prepared very hard for any possible crisis.

We only arrived slightly earlier than them.

“Anyway, I went to the location that was in the invitation message… … but there was nothing there.”

“That means.”

“I think that message was a trap sent by the monsters of Seoul to lure humans to where they were.”

“I did consider that possibility, but… … I didn’t know it would be true.”

Jo Beom-seok just had a bitter expression on his face.

There were some who didn’t.

“Ha, a trap… …!”

An old man who looks quite old.

It was a grandmother named Yoo Jeong-suk who was said to be the representative of the survivors from Gyeongbuk.

“Then, the government of the Republic of Korea… … .”

“I guess we should consider it as virtually extinct.”

“That can’t be… … !”

An old man with a look of despair on his face.

Her forces only sought minimal survival in that Gyeongbuk land.

Those who have given up even increasing their power in the hope that one day they might join the government.

“Then what should I say to the other guild members… … .”

“Guild Master!”

But that government disappeared.

Even the message she had thought of as hope turned out to be a trap, and she couldn’t even control her own body.

“… … Wait a minute. I have a question.”

But at that time.

A man who had been listening to our conversation calmly looked at us and asked a question.

“Those clothes you have. The design is quite different from what I know… … Are they really military uniforms?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What the heck. In this fucking world, I don’t think there’s any other group that would wear uniforms like that… … Are you guys the ones I’m thinking of?”

The man who said he was from Daejeon.

In response to Kang Shin-cheol’s question.

Kim Hyun-seok nodded slightly.

“My name is Lieutenant General Kim Hyeon-seok, the commander of the corps.”

Okay then.

Kang Shin-cheol and Yoo Jeong-suk, two people, open their eyes wide in surprise.

“Well, if it’s the Legion. That… … .”

“Hahaha! That was right.”

Kang Shin-cheol threw the cigarette he was smoking on the floor.

He came towards us and said.

“To tell you the truth, I wasn’t really interested in the idea that the government or anything was alive in Seoul. Even now, when I hear that the message was a trap, I’m not particularly interested.”

“Is that so?”

“There is only one reason why I came all the way here. Do you know what it is?”

“I think I know.”

“Thank you guys… … Huh? You think you get it?”

Kang Shin-cheol flinched and stopped talking.

Lieutenant General Kim Hyeon-seok shook his head and said.

“But, you don’t have to say thank you.”

“… … ?”

“We were just doing our duty. If we get blamed for not being able to save the residents of other areas sooner, we have nothing to say. That radio too… … It’s just unfortunate that it was the only way we could do it.”

To Lieutenant General Kim’s words.

Kang Shin-cheol stared blankly at that face for a moment.

“I told you not to say thank you, but I didn’t mean to tell you not to, did I?”

He soon opened his mouth.

“I know full well how crazy it is to keep that damn duty in a world like this. My colleagues and I have benefited from it. So… … thank you.”

“… … Yes. Thank you.”

“If you ever need anything, just call me. I’ll be happy to help you out as much as you’ve been grateful to me.”

A man bowing his head towards us.

After receiving the greeting, Lieutenant General Kim looked at the gathered survivors and said.

“As I said! Seoul has been destroyed. The government of the Republic of Korea has effectively disappeared.”

“… … .”

“but!”

Even though I’m not even using any skills.

To anyone who saw him now, he looked like a charismatic leader of a corps.

“That message may not have been meaningless. After all, the people who survived gathered here.”

“… … What does that mean?”

The reason I came to this southern part of Seoul is.

There was a definite reason.

“Even if the government disappears, cooperation among the survivors is possible.”

“… … !”

To Lieutenant General Kim’s words.

Yoo Jeong-suk’s expression seemed to brighten noticeably.

“Hmm. Even if the government is gone, let’s at least cooperate among the survivors gathered here. That’s it… … The Gyeonggi-do Association is in favor. Of course, we’ll have to talk about what kind of cooperation it will be.”

“Oh, Gyeongbuk-do will agree! Tell me more about that cooperation… … .”

Yoo Jeong-suk hurriedly agrees.

Although the government she first sought after had disappeared.

It’s not that there was no substitute.

“What kind of cooperation is the Legion thinking of…?”

The corps that absorbed the military units in Gangwon Province.

I could fill the role she wanted.

* * *

Kang Shin-cheol and Yoo Jeong-suk.

Representatives of both forces were surprised by our identity.

He seemed to accept that fact.

the other side.

“Kim Hyun-seok… Lieutenant General, Irani?”

There were some who doubted our words.

The awakened people of Gyeonggi Province seemed to have doubts about our language… …or rather, about one word.

“Hey, talk to me for a moment… … .”

The representative, Association President Cho Beom-seok, came forward.

He tried to tell us something.

“Chairman. Wait a minute.”

at that time.

There was a hand holding Jo Beom-seok’s hand.

“… … It’s true.”

“Miss Lee Seo? What is that?”

“Kim Hyun-seok… … no.”

Han Yiseo.

She looked at us with those eyes.

… … with eyes that can discern truth from lies.

“Lieutenant General Kim Hyeon-seok, you are a lieutenant general.”

“… … !”

Jo Beom-seok opened his eyes wide in surprise.

She advised Jo Beom-seok in a small voice.

“If what you say is true, then so be it. But how can that be?”

“I don’t know that far ahead either.”

“Hmm. Those guys aren’t the type of people who would break the rules and get things done.”

“maybe…….”

She was a little skeptical.

and.

“There must have been things going on between them that we don’t know about.”

With a curious look on his face.

looked at us.

“… … Is that so? If that’s the case.”

“You haven’t forgotten the policy we set in advance, have you?”

In that regard.

Jo Beom-seok also nodded slightly and stepped back.

“When in a situation where you are not sure about something, you first take the same position as the legion.”

“Yes. I guess I can explain the details later.”

Jo Beom-seok finished the conversation up to that point.

He approached the people, coughing loudly.

* * *

“Ahem.”

“Oh, Mr. Chairman? You have something to tell me.”

“Oh, well, that’s it. Cooperation is good, but I don’t think this is a good place to have an important conversation. There’s a base for the association nearby. We can have a conversation there… … .”

After that.

Naturally, a meeting regarding cooperation was held within the Gyeonggi Province area.

‘The trip to Seoul has been canceled, but… … our goal hasn’t disappeared.’

Our goal is to check the situation in each region through survivors who will gather in Seoul.

The idea was to build a cooperative system if possible.

Even if Seoul is destroyed.

Cooperation between the remaining regions of South Korea was still possible.

and.

‘The meeting will be beneficial to us.’

We had several meetings here in Seoul, and I have those memories.

Lieutenant Kim will still have that memory intact.

I think I can lead the meeting quite flexibly.

‘… … If there’s anything that concerns you.’

I turn my head.

I looked at a force that was quietly watching this conversation.

“for a moment…….”

“… …Who are you?”

While Lieutenant General Kim was talking to people from Gyeonggi Province and Gyeongbuk Province.

I approached the force and spoke to it.

Okay then.

“… … Four… …!? Forty… …!?”

“Sister? What all of a sudden?”

A woman.

When he saw my face, he started to look visibly embarrassed.

‘The church that came from Chungnam…’

There shouldn’t be any major problems with cooperation with other forces.

The only thing that is a little annoying is that the survivors of Daejeon led by Kang Shin-cheol are not interested in cooperation.

but.

‘These are things we need to be a little wary of.’

The person with the second highest level in our unit after me is Sergeant Lee Min-jae.

but.

The head of that religious group is Private Lee Min-jae.

Of all the Awakened people I’ve seen so far, he was the one with the highest level, excluding me.

‘The people who came with me are also quite high level… … .’

perhaps.

Of those who responded to the recruitment in Seoul, this is the only group that may have achieved a force on par with our corps.

“You’ve seen me. Your goal must have been achieved.”

“Ah, ahh… … .”

These were so many variables.

If there is one thing that is fortunate.

“For now, go back to your land. After you return… … .”

I’m in Seoul.

I have met them several times.

Every time, what they said remained in my head.

“Gather your strength and wait.”

“Ah, ahh… … That word… … !”

Let me say it like this.

She nodded hurriedly, her eyes filled with emotion.

“I will follow your will… … . Mighty One… … .”

A woman who bows deeply and acts in an attitude that is almost burdensome.

Let’s hear her whisper something to the people of that sect.

“We are too far apart physically to cooperate right now. I think it would be best to discuss it again when our areas are connected after some time has passed.”

“… … I understand. If that’s what you mean.”

The figures on the religious side returned to their home base.

Because of this.

The variables in cooperation among those gathered here have disappeared.

“Then let’s move to our base for now. You can get more details from… … .”

A little later.

Each force that remained here began to move to their base in Gyeonggi Province for a meeting.

“Huh? Sergeant Shin?”

“Aren’t you going with us, Sergeant?”

and.

I decided not to go to that meeting.

“Over there is Lieutenant Kim… … No, the Lieutenant General will take care of it. Even if I go there, there’ll be nothing for me to do.”

“That is true, but.”

“I have other things to do.”

“Any other business?”

To the questions of such soldiers.

I shrugged and answered.

“There is someone I need to look for.”

like that.

Separated from the soldiers, I began to act separately.

[Environmental fairy tale]

Leading a body that has become transparent.

We enter the inner city of Seoul, which has become hell itself.

One target.

‘Yeouido.’

In a time zone that no longer exists.

This was the very land where the leaders of Seoul were seated.
