31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 241)
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Crash-!
The elevator lowered the giant soldier with Kang Seol, Seol Hong, and Chi Woo deep into the mine shaft..
“It's so high..”
“The only hope is that the elevator works properly..”
There was a lot of strength in Seolhong’s shoulders..
This job was risky and risky, but every decision we made was directly related to the success or failure of the job..
Quickness and accuracy of judgment were all important..
Bleep.-
A measuring instrument that cries loudly.
“Is your hearing higher than expected??”
“…I don't think it's a normal number. Far exceeds the average figures delivered..”
“Something happened..”
“I hope it's a simple collapse... At this level, I'll lose my mind the moment I take off my protective clothing..”
“Is it that much??”
“It's not like I'm in a deep place, but if it's like this….”
Clap…
Clap…
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
The giant soldier radiated light from his headlights..
“Everything is in a state of collapse... Reaching the survivors' location will also be problematic..”
“Do I need to look at the map??”
“It is okay to input it into the aircraft before entering. However, the problem is that the information is incomplete because it is cut off in various places.….”
Seeing Seolhong like this was a little unfamiliar..
The scene where she takes the lead and gets things done and Kang Seol follows suit was something I've never seen before..
“You're amazing..”
“Me??”
“yes.”
“It's not really that great. It was just a child's greed.”
“greed?”
Seolhong looked back at Snowfall with his breathing apparatus hanging on him..
“Are you used to praise??”
“…well?”
“I couldn't do that. I've never done anything worthy of praise, but the only one who could praise me was God..”
Seolhong seemed to remember his childhood..
“There was no way he could stand out in a field where other brothers were ahead. Instead of praise, there was disdain. but… Everyone was happy when I handled tricky computing devices and got dirty. That's why I dug into it. Because I want to be praised.”
“That's a childish thought..”
“Still, it wasn't something Yonghwa could learn from. Because it is a talent that is not recognized more than Taoism, martial arts, or any other talent..”
eat…
she laughed.
“But isn't it funny? At best, people's lives depend on knowledge that comes from a child's sense of inferiority. Life is truly unpredictable.”
While Seol-hong and Kang-seol were talking about various things, Chi-woo suddenly intervened..
“Hey guys, we're done talking.?”
Kang Seol and Seol Hong's heads turned to Chiu..
“When you're done, can you take a look over there??”
“huh?”
“That is….”
Regardless of the level of collapse, Kang Seol and Seol Hong determined that the cause was the collapse of the supports supporting the tunnel..
but.
Now, when Chiu sees the huge hole formed in the direction he is looking through the periscope, his thoughts change..
“What is this?”
“This collapse… I don't think it's an ordinary problem..”
“What are you going to do? I'm going down?”
A hole where you can't see the bottom clearly.
However, given the location, heading down through this hole seemed like the best way to save time and fuel..
Kang Seol and Seol Hong nodded..
* * *
A miracle is nothing special.
The fact that there were no deaths even though the mine collapsed was enough to be called a miracle..
However, to those who actually survived, this was not considered a miracle..
“Shit….”
The fuel in the protective clothing was gradually decreasing..
When the ship drifted, people would die and kill each other due to limited food..
There was no guarantee that something like this would not happen to the buried miners..
Total of 22 survivors.
they are still alive.
Fuel continued to dwindle..
“we… We're all going to die.”
“you! Don't be so lucky! When the rescue team comes, everyone will get out alive..”
“Rescue team? Did you say rescue team now? Who do you think will come to save us? It wasn't an ordinary mine that collapsed, it was the Guyotan Mine that collapsed.!”
“…….”
“Do you think they'll spend the money to rescue us from Sunni? These guys are going to crash the funeral... Moreover, Sodong is hated even by Khan, so a rescue team is something that can only be dreamed of..”
Three days after the incident, arguments like this have occurred countless times..
“Shit… I can't die and leave my babies alone.!”
“Don’t you think Seongchi will take care of you kids? Man, don't be too sad about death..”
“That's not important! I want to see it for myself! this… I don't want to die in a basement like this.….”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“What are you talking about??”
“This isn't all because of that?”
“shut up! Don't make up strange words for no reason!”
Recently, something strange happened in Sodong Mine..
The mining plan gradually expanded the area of Sodong Mine, and in the process, a door with a strange pattern appeared a few days ago..
Since this was a very recent incident, it took me a while to decide whether or not I should report this to mine management..
In fact, there was a case where mining was halted due to the discovery of ruins nearby..
If that happens to Sodong, miners who do mining will not be able to make money for their families and will face a miserable situation..
Because the mine was at risk of being shut down, the workers eventually decided to talk more about the matter..
however.
Kiyiyi profit…
- What, what! the door suddenly opens…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
It was then that the mine collapsed..
In an instant, the instrument that detects ear energy started screaming, and even though I was wearing a protective suit, I felt a tingling sensation..
It was like this after that.
The tunnel leading to the ground collapsed and the ground they were standing on also collapsed and they fell down..
Fortunately, the protective clothing worked properly and the impact of the fall was alleviated, but the problem was that a lot of fuel was consumed in the process..
The miners did not realize that this event had significantly changed the topography of the mine. Also, the fact that most of the tunnel would have collapsed would make it difficult for rescue teams to enter..
However, everyone here knew that if a burial accident occurred in the mine, the probability of them returning safely was very low..
Moreover, this place was difficult to enter except for large soldiers, and I also knew that most of the large soldiers were out for maintenance in Hongyeon..
In other words, there wasn't even a hint of hope..
“cold….”
“Come on! Because it’s warm near the giant bottle.”
“ah… That's enough there.”
“why?”
“They say it would be unlucky to be next to him..”
“What's wrong with giant soldiers? Anyway, the temperament is….”
Sweet... sweet…
The miners who had just been talking looked up..
Five mechanics hanging on a giant bottle.
The miners who were enjoying the warmth near the giant soldiers asked them:.
“Hey, I can't fix it.?”
“…….”
“You can't fix it? It's already been 3 days.”
“The power engine is half destroyed and I will be grateful if it can be fixed here without any equipment.?”
“So what exactly is the situation??”
“The other one is completely unusable, and normal operation of this one is also impossible..”
It was a miracle that neither of the large vessels were damaged. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have been easy to enjoy the warmth of the giant soldier..
“therefore….”
“Tell me how many times. Because it was operated so hard, some parts of it survived, but it was almost out of fuel, so it wouldn't be able to get up to the ground..”
“…After all, this is our grave..”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
vibration transmitted to the ground.
“What on earth is this talking about earlier?….”
“Hehehe….”
“Couldn’t we have opened something dangerous? That's right, I'm cursed!”
“Don't you shut up? Are you saying we are all cursed and will die here??”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
“It's all over! It's coming this way!”
“Ooh, don't be ridiculous! They're a rescue team trying to save us.!”
No, that couldn't have been possible..
Rescue teams find buried miners three days after the incident.?
It was impossible..
Regardless of the difficulty of discovery, 3 days would have been a period in which a rescue team could not have been formed in the first place..
In other words, the vibration heard now may really be the reality of the curse..
Someone was holding prayer beads in his hand and praying.
“Oh God… Oh God… Please protect us. Please return it to its family..”
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd-!
“Wow!”
The miners were clinging to the giant bottles and shivering..
The vibration felt throughout the wall gradually increased..
and soon.
Poseok…
Part of the wall collapsed.
“uh… Uh oh?”
“that….”
What appeared beyond the wall was Towang Unit 1, a spherical giant soldier with Seolhong moving around..
“Towang? It's Towang!”
A man praying with a rosary shouted.
“It's God! God has appeared! You heard my prayers!”
The man approached where Towang Unit 1 was and shouted..
“It's here! It's here! God! Please save me!”
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
Towang broke the wall and came inside..
The size is not enough to say it is huge..
It was much bigger than the other giant soldiers here..
In addition to Towang's violent size, it also had an eccentric early form. It really felt like a god had descended underground..
Seolhong's voice was carried on the sound board and circled around the cavity..
“found.”
* * *
Seolhong and Kangseol appear through the wall and tell the miners one by one what happened on the ground while they were buried..
“Rescue team? It's a rescue team?”
“came for us?”
When they heard that it was a rescue team, even the mechanics stopped what they were doing and rushed to the large soldier that Seolhong was riding..
“Is it true??”
“Rather, this is Towang Unit 1, right? Why is this junk….”
“I drove this all the way here?”
Clap…
Clap…
“Get out of the way, you might step on it..”
“Uh oh….”
King To of Seolhong approached the giant soldiers that were being repaired and the giant soldiers that were sagging..
snowfall asked.
“Is there a problem??”
“I'm going to check it out now..”
Jiyiing…
A long wire flowed out from Towang's arm and connected to the fallen giant soldier..
Beep-
The state of the giant soldiers appeared on Towang’s screen..
“The power engine is completely unusable. Other than that, the other parts are usable.”
Jiyiing…
This time the wires were connected to another giant vessel that was being repaired..
Beep-
“Umm… . The situation is strange..”
“What kind of problem is this??”
“Only the power unit of this giant soldier is intact. Almost everything else is damaged. The situations of the two giant soldiers are completely opposite..”
“if….”
Giiiiiiing…
Clap…
King To of Seolhong stretched out his hand and placed his hand on the power engine of the giant soldier..
“Now, wait! what are you doing! stop!”
“You can't mess with it without any knowledge! If you make a mistake, the power unit explodes.….”
Pushyyyy…
The overheated power unit opened with smoke, and Towang pulled out the power engine from there..
In the process, the mechanics screamed as if they were going to faint, but Seolhong did his job without blinking..
giiiiing…
Clap-!
The power engine was transferred to another giant soldier..
Kiiiiing-!
- Hello world! Bright morning! I am…
“Oh oh oh!”
“what! They say it can't be fixed!”
When the miners glared at the mechanics, the mechanics protested..
“I told you it was in a situation where there was no equipment! Of course, if we could replace the power engine, we could do that too.!”
“joy! Let's go first!”
Everyone approached Seolhong..
“Has the protective umbrella not worked yet??”
“A protective umbrella? what is that?”
The mechanics asked back.
Beep-
Beep beep-
Seolhong touched this and that for a moment and then shook his head as if he had been hit..
“Oops, this feature has been removed from the new model..”
Then he hit something hard..
Seolhong takes out two batteries from a giant soldier with the power engine removed..
And connected it to Towang.
Soon, a mechanical sound came from Towang..
- hazmat umbrella works.
Jiiiiiiing…
Indeed, like the spray of a fountain, a hemispherical barrier resembling an umbrella was formed..
Snowfall said with admiration.
“…The meter reading went down.”
“Tell me when it turns green.”
“It's already green.”
“Then you can take off your protective clothing..”
Clap…
Cheeeeee…
The control panel opened and Seolhong and Kangseol came out of it..
The two of them took off their protective clothing and felt like gods to the miners..
“Was I right? Because it's God?”
“Wear protective clothing….”
“what? The instrument returns to normal readings.….”
Seolhong said.
“Everyone can take off their protective clothing..”
“It's a lie….”
At that time, I felt like something fast was moving..
pot-!
push…
push…
The protective clothing was automatically removed..
To be precise, Chiu took off their protective clothing visors..
“Huh... what!”
“Uh, uhh?”
“It's true?”
Seolhong spoke to them..
“As long as the protective umbrella is in effect, you'll be fine..”
“Did To, Towang also have this function??”
“so who are you?”
“I am….”
She reveals what she couldn't say before.
After hearing all the circumstances, people lamented..
“I liked it as a rescue team... It's an old Towang.….”
“Are we all three without the others??”
“stop! Come to your senses! These are the people who came down for us.!”
“You little moles, I apologize on your behalf..”
Some characters apologize to Seolhong.
snowfall asked them.
“I also have a question about this.”
“Please tell me.”
“Do you have any idea as to what caused the collapse??”
“That, that….”
The miners glanced sideways at each other. After looking at each other for a while, the person who seemed to be in charge came forward and spoke..
“ha… Actually, I think it's all because of that door..”
“…door?”
“that is….”
A man continuing his explanation.
A door with strange patterns and strange strings and paper attached was discovered, and when the door opened on its own, the Sodong Mine collapsed..
“what? Puhahahaha! What is that, a ghost's doing??”
Chiwoo laughed loudly..
“…….”
“If all of this were the work of a ghost, it would be worth watching, giggle.….”
Kang Seol glared at Chi Woo and said something..
“Chiwoo, be quiet..”
“…How?”
When the atmosphere was about to get rough, Seolhong interrupted the flow..
“surely… she felt that way.”
“yes? what does that mean?”
The miners looked puzzled and asked her what she meant..
Then, Kang Seol, who was next to me, answered instead..
“We had a strange feeling the whole time we came here..”
“weird… feeling?”
“Yes, do you know how much time has passed since the accident??”
“3About one day….”
“Even if the mine shaft collapsed, would it take three days to get from the mine entrance to here??”
“That's because they were clearing away the rubble.….”
Seolhong refuted the man’s words..
“No, we didn't clear any debris on the way here. We continued to move along the established path and direction. Of course, it also consumed a lot of fuel..”
“…….”
I wandered for three days over a distance that could have been reached in a few hours..
Snowfall was assumed to be the cause of this..
“Space is constantly transforming. It'll probably be the same even if I try to get out of here..”
“Hehe… Well, that means….”
he said, looking around the mine..
“That door. It looks like something got out of that door..”
“Unbelievable….”
“Do you have any other information to speculate about the situation??”
At that time, the miner who was sitting alone in the back came forward..
The young man frowned and said this:.
“…radish. I clearly heard it when the door opened.”
“…yes?”
The story that poured out of the man's mouth was a story intertwined with an old legend..
“Mr. Hwageumu… You woke me up….”
Hwageumu.
In the East the name was legendary.
And the name of the evil dragon, Hwageumu, came from a completely unexpected place..
Zech…
Seolhong, Chiu, and Kang Seol’s gazes crossed..
