Chapter 88 (1/2)
Lim Si Hyun and Han Chang Jin discussed with each of their groups’ cadres. Cha Jun Sung neglected it. He did not care where they went because it was all the same to him.
There are over 10 cadres. 5 of the 6 vice masters of Seven Stars participated and it was a similar case for the government. A lot of people in high positions had come.
“She’s familiar.”
“Who is?”
“That woman over there. I have seen her somewhere, but I can’t remember where.”
When Cha Jun Sung nodded toward a woman, Park Jin Hyuk’s eyes followed the direction. It is to where the cadres are gathered. They are just having a droll conversation and there is not much to it.
“She’s pretty. People always think that they’ve seen someone somewhere even if they haven’t if they’re pretty.”
“Hey.”
“Woah woah! Did you see her at Seven Stars?”
“I felt the same thing when I saw her at Seven Stars. Have I gotten old too?”
Jung Hye Ryung remains in Cha Jun Sung’s eyes. He has a feeling he can recall. He is not able to remember because they had met in passing to sell items.
He cannot help it because he had only seen her once, and more than half a year has passed since then.
“Forget it.”
He would have remembered if it were important. She must be someone he does not need to know from the way he cannot remember her. It is only a headache to try to force himself to remember.
When Cha Jun Sung turned his attention away, Jung Hye Ryung looked at him.
She had not imagined that he was such a great and famous Lifer. What else could he be hiding? No matter how many layers are peeled off like an onion, they do not get to his core.
‘Maybe he can’t remember me?’
Jung Hye Ryung’s pride was stung. She is fine if he did not have interest in her, but to not be able to remember her after meeting even if it was only one time….that was too much.
She spoke with Lim Si Hyun separately. He had been surprised when she said that Cha Jun Sung completed Field of Meat, but he quickly came back to reality. That is in the past.
She even thought about talking to him first. It is not easy for a woman to do. Since it is not the right atmosphere to do so now, she will try prodding him later when the time is right.
-[We will use the stem to go down. Everyone start moving.]
Lim Si Hyun revealed the results of their meeting. The stem is at the front of the boat. The cadres had made the decision in anticipation of the problems the force could face.
In addition, one of Seven Stars’ vice masters used to be in shipbuilding, and his observation was one of the deciding factors,
“The outside is wrapped like this because the boat’s purpose isn’t what we’re thinking.”
It is bigger than a few aircraft carriers combined, and the outside is protected with a steel barrier. It would be able to withstand even a typhoon.
Did the description say that it had been boarded once it left the infected city? It was created for survivors. It is a resolution with more than the natural features of a boat.
“People involved with the boat like the captain, senior officials, and stewardesses will stay in rooms closest to the stem in order to assure smooth sailing.”
Otherwise? It is inevitable that they will gather to the corner. That is the aft. Due to the nature of boats, complex structures are concentrated in the aft rather than the stem.
That distinction decreases in the lower levels, but the stem is the more comfortable area to move in at the top floor.
If the stem is blocked, it interferes with the sailing. That is why everything unnecessary is pushed to the back. This includes passengers, their rooms, luggage, and freight.
In order to prepare for mutant attacks and to wake the battle senses, it is wiser to go through an easier area than it is to go somewhere difficult.
If they go through the aft, they might have to fight with a lot of mutants at the same time among complicated structures. They need to be smart in their actions.
They did not even consider the center. Once they go down, they would need to choose between the front and back again. If they take the wrong path, they would have to search through the entire boat.
-[We will enter. Cha Jun Sung, please lower Hercules.]
-[Okay.]
“Go down and check to see if it’s safe. Kill mutants and hide if it’s dangerous.”
Hercules opened the steel floor. A black space welcomed the force. It is so dark that they do not have the courage to go in willingly even with their vision goggles.
Woong!
Cha Jun Sung linked the PDA to Hercules’ eyes. A hologram came up with a vivid scene. There are some infringements, but it is relatively clear.
The color of the scene changes. Hercules turned on his thermographic and infrared mode. From the outside, nothing can be detected.
“It’s really quiet.”
“Did they all go on vacation or something? How is there not even 1?”
