Hiding a Logistics Center in the Apocalypse – Part 30
(Fences and Networks (1))
By the time we all finished eating together.
My sister-in-law gave each of us a small glass bottle.
It was an ampoule containing a red solution.
“What is this?”
“It’s a potion. I combined the nutritional supplements from the distribution center with the medicine I brought from the hospital.”
By the way, it was my sister-in-law who had awakened her <Alchemy> ability.
The ability to create new substances by mixing existing substances.
I don't know the level or specific ability, but if the items in the subspace can be used as materials, it would be possible to display the ability to an unprecedented degree.
The potion's ingredients were also dazzling.
“I combined collagen, tryptophan, liquid hyaluronic acid, and various herbal medicines. Rather than focusing on various effects, I focused on wound or fatigue recovery and soothing effects.”
It was literally a potion in itself.
Perhaps because it was an item made with the <Alchemy> ability, I was able to check the potion's information like any other item.

Clank.
I poured the red liquid, which was shaking nicely, into my mouth.
The unique sweet pharmacy strawberry flavor lingered in my mouth···
"oh···?"
A fresh energy enveloped my body.
It felt like all the fatigue that had built up without me knowing had disappeared in an instant.
.
.
.
After finishing my meal, I went outside with my P999K radio.
Wheeee···
Perhaps because I cleaned up those guys, I didn't see any enemies around me.
Of course, not all of Uijeongbu will be like this.
The 1st Corps would have taken control of Paju, Goyang, and Uijeongbu.
Meanwhile, by now, the government forces would have reclaimed the Dobong-gu area that I had passed through and would be slowly attempting to enter Uijeongbu.
I radioed the Joint Chiefs of Staff to get a more accurate picture of the situation.
Thump thump···
The signal rang, and soon after, Operations Headquarters Chief Yoo Seong-cheol received the radio transmission.
From there, I asked about the movements of the 1st Corps.
“You mean the 1st Corps? Thanks to you breaking through the air defense line, we are able to occasionally fly drones. Fortunately, we don’t have too many troops. Our troops are concentrated near Baekryeon Mountain to face off against our government forces… But we can’t use the troops deployed at the front. In the end, most of the ones wandering around Uijeongbu and Goyang are goblin variants. But…”
He paused for a moment and then continued speaking hesitantly.
“They are pretending to be the military and drafting people.”
“Are you joining the military···?”
“Yes, you might wonder why they would act like soldiers with goblin faces… but they drive around in armored vehicles. They even have the Taegeukgi hanging on the back. There are quite a few people who came out just in case and ended up being taken to concentration camps.”
A ruined world.
Many people still had high expectations.
That the government will resolve this situation.
They were using that very expectation to lure people.
To use them as sacrifices to increase their power.
'what···'
However, my actions remained unchanged.
The plan was to hunt goblins, liberate the camps, and reach Goyang, where the 1st Corps headquarters would be located.
I suggested it to Yoo Seong-cheol.
“Chief, it won’t be easy to come up after taking care of the aftermath, but… please hold on a little longer.”
“···What are you talking about?”
“I will now head to the Corps Headquarters. I will sweep away the 1st Corps, so please continue to follow them and take care of the people who came out of the camp.”
“···The 1st Corps? Are you talking about Jeonggyeom alone?”
“We are a pretty big family.”
“No, that's···”
Yoo Seong-cheol looked quite embarrassed.
No matter how much you know about my abilities, it won't be easy to take on a single legion.
I added one condition.
“Instead, I would like you to lend me all the weapons, equipment, strategic materials, and supplies that the government forces will recover this time.”
"ah···"
Yoo Seong-cheol looked like he was finally understanding.

I've already rented a helicopter once.
And then there was me, the model borrower who returned it in less than an hour.
He also knew that I had the ability to duplicate objects.
Yoo Seong-cheol, who had been thinking for a moment, answered.
“It’s not something I can give permission for. But… I will do it on my name. This is a matter of national survival.”
The existence of the country.
Yoo Seong-cheol spoke as if the Republic of Korea still existed.
Unfortunately, that wasn't true… but you never know.
However, it would be more correct to say reconstruction rather than continuation.
"then."
“I wish you good luck.”
That's how I ended my communication with Yoo Seong-cheol.
'A goblin in an armored car…'
It didn't feel like a threat to me.
It might be a bit tough, but you could probably defeat it by dropping a helicopter on it or throwing a hot bowling ball at it.
Wheein.
It was with those thoughts that I returned to subspace.
It seems like you've been waiting for me all this time.
The older brother who was guarding the portal extended his hand to me.
“Jeong-gyeom, take this.”
“···?”
Red stone.
“Why do you have this···?”
It was a reinforced stone.
.
.
.
About a week after my father's country home became a fortress.
They said that a strange guest came to visit here.
“It was some kind of rhinoceros-like beast. It was just ramming the house with its horn.”
At first, I didn't think much of it.
Although many monsters have attempted to enter, the fortress' armor has held out strongly.
But this guy was different.
“Every time I hit it, the wall caved in. And then there was an explosion. It was almost like it was going to break through…”
Fortunately, the bastard's attack was stopped.
Because of the griffon, a monstrous bird that appeared in the sky.
The two monsters that faced each other fought for two days straight, day and night.
and···
The victorious griffon ate the rhinoceros' flesh and leisurely left the fortress.
The rhinoceros carcass that remained.
It was said that a reinforcing stone remained there.

“······”
After receiving the reinforcement stone, I sat alone and lost in thought.
“···How should I use it?”
Right now, the reinforcing stone has two main uses for me.
One is to knight the Ghost of Camelot.
And the other one is to strengthen one of the objects in the subspace.
My conclusion was the latter.
“It’s not like we’re short on manpower.”
From the all-weather knight Lancelot, to the brute strength of Bedivere, to the tanker Kim Sol and the healer Big Sister.
Although it wasn't perfect, it was a decent full party.
There was only one problem remaining.
“Then the question is what to strengthen···”
actually···
The answer to this dilemma was decided from the beginning.
I immediately went into the <laboratory> and isolated one 'object'.
And I asked Pax and used the reinforcement stone I just received.
like that···
The magnificent object appeared before my eyes.
—
[AGM-114 Hellfire Missile +1]
Grade: [Rare]
Description: [Failed to load information. You can enter your own description.]
Attribute: [None]
Options: [Penetration], [Explosion]
—
“[Explosion] Missile… I can’t stand this.”
Hellfire missiles mounted on a captured Black Hawk.
It is literally 'hellfire' fired from the portal.
The [Explosion] option was really key.
While a normal missile can travel at Mach speed, the subspace launch speed is less than half that.
A situation where even if you hit the enemy, the impact may not be enough and it may misfire.
But if you [explode] them on your own, I could safely send them to the pit of hell.
and···
“That’s not all.”
—-[Items that can be strengthened]—-
◈ Shipping time [1 second]
◈ Shipping distance [50m] [+]
◈ Shipping speed [up to 150 km/h] [+]
————————-
It's been quite a while since it was strengthened.
Because I didn't feel any particular need for it during that time.
Moreover, the cost was considerable.
Maximum launch range at level 3 is 100m.
At 10 magic stones per meter, you would need 500 to max out.
The maximum shipping speed was 300 km/h, which also cost 5 magic stones per kilometer, or 750 at maximum.
A whopping sum of 1250 in total.
It was originally an amount I couldn't even imagine…
[The amount of magic stones you have is 2,396.]
I stole the magic stone from the 220th Brigade Commander, and I also killed countless goblins on the way up to the government's house.
As a bonus, the acquisition of magic stones became much faster thanks to the dimensional account.
It was an amount that could easily be handled by now.
Without a second thought, I paid the magic stone.
[All right.]
[Received 1,250 magic stones.]
[There are 1,146 magic stones remaining.]
So, all the preparations are done.
When I told Yongsu Lee, who was taking a short break, about my departure, he asked me.
“Are you going by helicopter again this time?”
“No, we have to go by car. There are a lot of people locked up in the camp, so we have to release them before we go.”
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I planned to gradually reclaim the area around Uijeongbu occupied by the 1st Corps.
Starting from the end, slowly eating it up.
***
Kugugugu···
An armored vehicle roaming the ruined city center.
The rough engine noise was adding cracks to the asphalt.
Kookooow.
The armored vehicle stopped for a moment.
The aircraft that had gone on a distant mission was returning for an unknown reason.
The Taegeukgi, which was cleverly hung, swayed continuously.
Pushy···
Click!
The half goblin poked his head out of the hatch.
To hold them accountable for leaving the operational area for whatever reason.
“Hey, what are you doing here?! Right now···”
but···
Wheein.
Four portals appeared around the armored vehicle that had been approaching out of nowhere.
That was, without a doubt, a missile.
Wheaaaaaaaaa!
“······!!"
An air-to-ground missile fired straight ahead in front of you.
Talk.
The end met the armored vehicle…
Kwaaaaaaaah!
'Hellfire' erupted in all directions.
Whirl!
The top of the armored car rotated and soared into the sky.
A hollowed-out armored car.
The fuselage containing the blazing hell slowly collapsed to the ground.
The sound that follows soon follows.
···Kuung.
“Whew!”
This time I stuck my head out of the hatch.
It was an armored vehicle stolen through <category product registration>.
It was an item I had no idea about the year or the model of, but it was the best at surprising those guys.
Just like they were disguised as the military.
It's already been three hours since we left Uijeongbu.
He showed off his missile skills by firing missiles at goblins and armored vehicles as soon as he encountered them, and liberated prisoners from dozens of camps.
Pooh!
The door to the concentration camp opened coolly like a bottle cap.
The trapped people poured out like soda, but unfortunately, the condition was not very good.
Because I was locked up for quite a long time.
but···
“The potion is quite useful.”
Potions were continuously dropped through four portals.
Even if it doesn't completely cure it, it will at least prevent the condition from getting worse.
This gave them enough time to arrive with government forces.
By the time we had destroyed dozens of armored vehicles and camps,
We arrived in Goyang, where the 1st Corps headquarters was located.
Wheeee···
A gloomy sky and ominous rising smoke.
The corps headquarters was located at the top of the slope leading from the guardhouse.
If it was long, it was long.
Because it was the 1st Corps that kept interfering with the process of meeting the families.
“Let me see your face, Commander.”
Now, it is time to meet.
