Hiding A Logistics Center In The Apocalypse Chapter 48

Hiding a Logistics Center in the Apocalypse – Part 48

(Customer Recruitment (1))

The sky over Beijing was clear all day yesterday.

Ironically, the dust from the central western desert enveloped downtown Beijing in pungent air in just one day.

“Well, this is a nobleman.”

Yunyang was wearing the KF-94 mask that I had sent him.

We were climbing together the desolate Baekmang Mountain, which still bore the marks of battle.

Peace has come to Beijing, freed from the tyranny of Belzebub.

Looking at the collapsed buildings, bones strewn along the roadside, and polluted groundwater and forests, you may wonder what kind of peace this is, but just sweeping away those horrible bugs was a touching thing for them.

“It’s going to take a long time.”

This time, you have to take a pretty long breath.

Although many people still survived in China, Beijing suffered near-total destruction.

“Sweep it a little more there!”

“Be careful not to get dusty!”

They are martial artists.

They pretended to be the city's cleaners, herding the corpses of dead bugs into one place; on the other hand, they pretended to be the city's undertakers, transporting the remains of Beijing citizens to agreed-upon locations.

There will be a fire outbreak.

White, acrid smoke will cover Beijing like a cloud.

Become a pure white cloth to mourn death.

Unyang added bitterly.

Maybe it will be the last event to mark the end of this city.

“It might just become a completely abandoned land. And all the people are dead…”

Human hands were needed to rebuild the city.

But the citizens of Beijing were annihilated, and with the world in ruins, there was no way Chinese people in other regions would be able to afford to lend a hand.

In that China, there is a labor shortage. The world has truly been turned upside down.

“Still, I’ll come by often.”

With those words, we turned our heads.

A long blue oval.

After clearing the Gate of Belzebuh, a portal connecting to subspace was installed in the center of Beijing's Second Ring.

Beijing has completely collapsed, but the martial artists, including Yun Yang, still remain here.

It was also Unyang's request that the portal be installed.

“I will definitely, definitely go to help.”

Yun Yang emphasized once again.

Before the final battle with Belzebub, he had promised to repay my favor.

Although there was no immediate major threat, it was truly reassuring to have him and other martial artists as our allies.

Moreover, that was not the only reward he had prepared.

***

“No, you can’t. Great Swordsman!”

The martial artists all raised their voices.

It was because of Unyang's major announcement.

“I’m just lending it to you. I’m not giving it away completely, so why are you making such a fuss?”

As I said before, all of these were Chinese martial artists with a proud history and tradition.

Of course, they had martial arts books, which were the most important route for the awakened members of the 'Murim' lineage to become stronger.

The problem was precisely that history and tradition.

Most martial arts books were exclusive martial arts books that contained the symbolism and secrets of each martial arts school, and were so exclusive that they were not even shared among martial artists.

Yunyang fired at the martial artists.

“Before the destruction, it was like that. It was when we hid in the mountains and proudly upheld the legacy of our ancestors. But now it’s different. How much weight can this secret be given to the death of hundreds of millions of people?”

Yun Yang added, pointing to Kim Sol and Min Woo, who were sitting on one side of the conference room table.

“We have confirmed through them that martial arts are not just for us martial artists. Who among us can deny So-Jeo Kim’s talent? Didn’t So-Hyeop Baek also show ample potential?”

Awakening into ‘Murim’.

What was initially thought to be a concept only for the Chinese was actually a huge stem that could also be applied to those with awakened physical abilities.

For example, Baek Min-woo, who awakened the Inspector class, showed that it was possible to add the swordsmanship he learned from Unyang to his skill tree.

If we recall that the sword's power had become much stronger than before, the effect was also remarkable.

“Ugh···”

“No matter what, the emergency letter···”

At Unyang's words, which were full of strength, the martial artists began to groan in frustration.

one side···

'···It really is a bed of thorns.'

I was also extremely uncomfortable.

It's something I never asked for.

I was stuck between those who immediately offered to give me a gift and those who tried to dissuade me.

Although Yunyang maintained his firm decision, he was giving me an apologetic look.

and,

The one who broke that trend was Kwon Ryong, the number two man in the martial arts world.

Taang!

She put down a book, as if the table was about to break.

At that, all the martial artists gasped in shock.

“Break… Break and Build the Divine Fist?”

“Kwonryong! Are you in your right mind right now?”

The atmosphere was unusual.

Rather, it was a more violent reaction than when Yun Yang declared that he would hand over the Jeokgang Sword Technique.

It was a scene that naturally showed the power of the secret weapon of the Pachuksin Kwon among the martial artists.

On the other hand, Kwon Ryong's words were simple and clear.

“Don’t you know grace? I am so embarrassed right now that I can’t even raise my head.”

“No, it’s not that I don’t appreciate it···”

Someone raised a voice in protest,

“Then what can you do for Mr. Kim So-hyeop? How can you repay his help?”

“······”

He quickly shut his mouth and Kwon Ryong's story continued.

“When Kim So-hyeop arrived here, did he ask for anything in return for giving us the fresh air? Did he ask for money for the freshly cooked food and clean drinking water he provided? How many of these people would have survived if Kim So-hyeop had not been here?”

I couldn't help but think that way.

'···Every word is correct, isn't it?'

It was in a floating posture.

I couldn't just nod my head in this situation.

Kwon Ryong concluded the story as follows:

“You all should learn from Kim So-hyeop. You should not grasp like a child, but give like a great person to truly grow.”

Well, that's true.

Anything that you just grab onto becomes bad inventory.

Take it out, take it out, and send it by several truckloads before new stuff arrives.

Did her words get through to you?

Bam.

Thud.

On top of the Shrine of the Axis, several, no, dozens of martial arts books began to pile up.

Hands trembling.

If it weren't for the copy, I wouldn't have been able to accept it.

"eww······"

However, there were still a few people who could not come up with the emergency number, but it was not something that could be forced.

chuck!

Just took the lottery ticket to everyone.

Although it is said to be a reward, it is something that is helpful to me as well.

Meanwhile, the method of putting these dozens of emergency books was decided from the beginning.

—

◈ Category product registration (2)

-You can create a new category to be included in the logistics center (up to 2 times)

(However, creating a new category incurs a cost.)

—

I still had the ability to create a new category.

The name is···

“Pax, please create a new category called ‘Mugongseo’.”

[Creating a new category costs 5,000 magic stones.]

[Do you want to create a new category?]

“Go ahead.”

[All right.]

[You received 5,000 magic stones.]

[Category creation in progress···]

[There are 68,616 magic stones remaining.]

“Put all the martial arts books placed here into the subspace.”

[This item falls under the 'No-Gongseo' category.]

[Registration fee calculation in progress···]

Tiring!

[The total cost required for registration is 4,113 magic stones.]

[The cost has been received.]

[There are 64,503 magic stones remaining.]

[Proceed with registration···]

[You have obtained the martial arts skill, 'Chilseongsu (Seven Star Hand)'.]

[You have obtained the skill 'Break and Build the Divine Fist'.]

[I have obtained the martial arts secret, 'Nahanbo (羅漢步)'.]

[You have obtained the martial arts secret, 'Golden Top Nine Style'.]

[You have obtained the martial arts skill, 'Sword Banishment Technique'.]

[Mugongbi-geup, 'Bongsin-gon (封神棍)'···

Dozens of martial arts manuals were swept into the subspace.

The value of the emergency books was infinite.

Because we could have immediately developed Kim Sol and Baek Min-woo, and we could have further strengthened the power of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other friendly forces.

I also heard that even if you don't know about other martial arts books, abilities related to the martial arts or lightness skills can be partially trained by people who aren't physically awakened.

'···Ugh.'

Thanks to that, I was full, but I had no intention of ending it like this.

It's a subspace logistics center.

There was no way I could just eat and not poop.

A large conference room.

I sat around a table in the middle and gave each of the martial artists back the martial arts books I had read.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo!

Bind together the dozens of books they gave you.

It was the so-called Complete Collection of Martial Arts.

Bam!

Bam!

As the tower of martial arts books piled on the table increased, the martial artists gathered in the conference room were overcome with a strange emotion.

The reason is simple.

tome.

I only put out one volume.

But it came back as dozens of volumes.

I asked.

“You gave me the martial arts book. But as a result, did I become weaker?”

There was no need to even answer.

Of course, it would be difficult to utilize all of them, but the martial arts books were the power itself for the martial artists.

All of these were exaggerated dozens of times.

But there was another story that was truly important.

“At least for now, it’s not a question of which of us gets stronger or faster.”

A conference room shrouded in silence.

I gave a direction for us to go.

“The Interdimensional Chamber of Commerce is the one who is instigating this whole situation. They are bringing other dimensional forces to Earth and using it all as a means of making money.”

"ah···"

The martial artists fell silent.

They too must have heard things like ‘bidding competition’ and ‘business rights’.

“What is really important to us in this situation? Martial arts? Leveling up? A more powerful weapon?”

Everything was already given to me.

Food, supplies, enhanced weapons, potions, magic, and even martial arts books.

Because everything was prepared as a tool to survive destruction.

but···

“No. What we need is people.”

“······?”

The martial artists opened their eyes wide.

It even has the ability to install portals.

I was able to spread all the items I had collected so far all over the world.

But, one very important thing was missing.

'There are no customers.'

If it were Pax, they might have made a joke like "Tiring! Customer, this is an unregistered product!"

customer.

The power to exchange goods with the logistics center, achieve proper growth, and participate in the war with the Chamber of Commerce.

It was exactly the moment when that presence was needed.

“People. We need a lot of people. People who can be as strong as we are.”

What we had to do was simple.

First, save as many people as possible.

Second, to develop and arm those who have been saved in this way.

Third, gather them all together and smash the chamber of commerce's pot.

That was the huge 'business goal' that the logistics center had to achieve.

Oops!

With both hands outstretched, I tied the knot of this magnificent speech.

“So we don’t have time to bicker among ourselves. We have to share everything we have, whether it’s the liver or the gall bladder. For that, I…”

“I will copy your liver and gallbladder infinitely.”

“······?”

The ending comment was a bit messy, but that's what it was.

***

The conversation with the martial artists ended successfully.

Now it was time to return to Korea.

There was a need to discuss the ominous situation in neighboring countries with Yoo Seong-cheol.

So, I was just preparing to return to the portal in Incheon.

At that time, Minwoo brought surprising news.

“···There is a hierarchy?”

“No, it hasn’t appeared yet… It said that it will appear if you put in a thousand magic stones.”

It was a hierarchy obtained through the <Dimensional Existence Registration Application>.

However, Minwoo said that the moment he reached level 10, he was able to obtain the 8th level and dimensional account in exchange for magic stones.

Moreover, it is impossible to level up further without hierarchy.

“What about your sister?”

“I didn’t say anything like that?”

Meanwhile, Kim Sol, who had already obtained a rank through the <Registration Application>, did not receive such a message, and was simply growing steadily, looking towards level 13.

There was more to it than that.

“Then, as you level up, the hierarchy will continue to rise?”

“Probably so?”

“Then I’m ruined?”

“······?”

Kim Sol-i is level 13, and Min-woo is level 10.

But I was still struggling at level 5.

This is because the cost increases as you level up.

Even this time, a whopping 100,000 magic stones were required to reach level 6.

It was a message that we must overcome the coming destruction with this fragile glass body.

At that time, the Red Gangun Sword Unyang also approached us.

Although he had already said goodbye to the people of Murim, he came to express his thanks and greetings separately.

I asked him.

Because I was curious about the future moves of the martial artists.

“First, we need to deal with the damage here in Beijing to some extent. After things are mostly settled, I plan to look for an elixir.”

“Is it an elixir?”

“Yes, there was a rumor that there was an Awakener in Yunnan who could make elixirs. I will acquire the martial arts book you gave me and continue my training, but if there is an elixir, I cannot miss it.”

“Ha··· Just one bite···”

Without realizing it, a ravenous appetite came out first, but Unyang laughed heartily and grabbed my shoulder.

“How could I forget Jeonggyeom Sohyeop? The elixir will be a copy?”

“I see, right?”

We laughed together, thinking about the welcome that would come pouring out like a BB gun from the portal.

But right after, Yunyang, who had stopped laughing, added to me.

“The Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce I mentioned earlier···”

“Yes, why is that?”

“I heard from government sources that a branch of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will soon be established in Japan.”

“···Branch?”

After the bidding competition.

The invasion of the Chamber of Commerce seemed to be progressing slowly.

Yun Yang added.

“Yes. We haven’t confirmed what that means either… but if you happen to go to Japan, please be careful.”

“Okay, I’ll make sure to be careful.”

“If anything happens, please let me know. I will always leave a contact person around the gate.”

He reiterated that he would be there whenever support was needed.

“Thank you, Daehyeop. Then···”

“Yes, good luck.”

After saying his final goodbyes, Unyang slowly headed back to the hotel.

But I was really preoccupied with the word 'branch' in the Chamber of Commerce.

'···Look at these kids?'

I was planning to start a business in earnest.

The intention is to start in Japan and gain commercial power in East Asia.

It seemed that the liver was firmly out of the boat, as they dared to aim for the territory of this Pax Fulfillment Center.

One additional thought occurred to me.

chapter.

Could it be the government's version of a chamber of commerce?

Then wouldn't it contain a lot of documents that they use among themselves?

If so···

“Isn’t there also an application for registration of existence…? A higher version?”

It is unimaginable that you can gain rank through leveling up.

Level 10, level 20, and beyond.

I didn't have the confidence to afford that much money.

so···

“My mouth is watering.”

I was planning to raid their branch and get the documents.
