I Alone Resurrect Chapter 207

I Alone Resurrect Chapter 207

Tokyo (1)

“Yes, that’s correct. Tokyo is now completely in the domain of the undead. You can consider that no survivors remain.”

Shin Tae-gil was desperately explaining something while holding onto the telephone.

“We have confirmed that due to powerful magical energy, all electronic equipment in Tokyo has been rendered useless.”

– Are you certain?

The voice of a middle-aged man came through the phone. It was none other than President Han Seung-hoon.

“I am certain.”

Shin Tae-gil licked his dry lips and continued speaking.

“I fully understand the concerns you have, Mr. President. However, this is an opportune moment. We can’t keep them rotting forever, can we?”

– Hmm…

“If you permit, I will send him along with that man. This operation will be perfectly kept secret.”

A sigh from the president could be heard over the phone.

– I understand. I approve.

“Thank you.”

After ending the call, Shin Tae-gil pulled out a cigarette and lit it. As the flame ignited, the tension pressing on his shoulders seemed to slightly subside.

“Whew… Permission has been granted.”

Exhaling smoke, Shin Tae-gil looked at the man before him.

“Now it’s time to keep the promise. Will you lead them? Mr. Choi Min-jun.”

Choi Min-jun, who was putting on a coat, nodded at Shin Tae-gil’s words.

“I’ll do that.”

Population of approximately 14 million.

Recognized as one of the world’s top 3 cities and undisputedly the largest and best city in Asia, Tokyo had now fallen into a playground for the undead.

Flames rising everywhere.

Ruins of collapsed buildings.

Abandoned vehicles scattered across the roads.

The dead wander around as if it were their own home.

In just three months, Tokyo had become a city of death.

“The atmosphere is terrible.”

Gazing at the cityscape under a gloomy gray sky, Kang Hyeon muttered.

“This is almost similar to the state of Beijing, isn’t it?”

“It seems even worse.”

Yoon Na-rae responded to Kang Hyeon’s comment.

“Ah, my first trip to Japan turned out to be bitter.”

“Yes, it’s unfortunate.”

Shin Seong-ah nodded in agreement.

“Oh right. Seong-ah, you had some otaku tendencies too, didn’t you?”

“Not at all.”

Shin Seong-ah answered firmly.

“Anyway, you’ve never been to Japan despite loving manga so much?”

“I had never been abroad even once before the Dungeon incident.”

“Really?”

Kang Hyeon, who had been thinking about something, suddenly frowned.

“Don’t tell me your first overseas trip was to China?”

“Yes.”

“I see…”

The trip to China to clear the A-grade Dungeon, ‘The Great Sanctuary Krokta’.

She might not have called it a trip, but it was nonetheless Shin Seong-ah’s first time abroad.

“Oh, thinking about it again, that’s not correct. I have been abroad before.”

“As expected?”

“Yes. Didn’t they say the black market was overseas? That was my first overseas trip.”

At Shin Seong-ah’s words, Kang Hyeon and Yoon Na-rae fell silent.

“Forget it… Let’s stop. It’s making me sad.”

“Yes.”

Shin Seong-ah, always reliably responsive.

“We’ve arrived, but what do we do now?”

To change the gloomy atmosphere, Yoon Na-rae shifted the topic.

“We need to find that Tera or Dera or whatever.”

“How?”

“If we cause some commotion, won’t they come out on their own?”

“And if they come out, can we win?”

“Seems like we can’t.”

The atmosphere grew even more dismal.

Yoon Na-rae glared at Kang Hyeon.

“Do you have a plan?”

“I have a plan to hit you.”

“…”

“First, let’s go inside. Our goal is to keep that guy from doing anything and tie him down here. That’s why we’re waiting for Team Leader Shin Tae-gil’s support.”

Shin Seong-ah nodded at Kang Hyeon’s words.

“Excellent plan.”

“As expected, I knew you’d think so. Let’s go in.”

“Yes. Finally, a proper Japanese tour. I’m strangely excited.”

“Uh… Right…”

It looked more like the residence of the King of the Underworld than Japan, but geographically, it was indeed Japan. They decided to overlook this minor detail.

“Hmm, are there really no people?”

Entering Tokyo’s urban area, the situation looked even more severe than from the outside.

No matter how powerful the enemy, could a city deteriorate this much in just a few months? Such a question arose.

“Mr. Kang Hyeon.”

At that moment, Shin Seong-ah whispered in a small voice.

“Someone is watching us.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Please don’t look, just listen. 3 o’clock direction. Behind the abandoned bus.”

“Okay.”

Since no magical energy could be detected, they might be civilians, but it could also be a skilled individual hiding their magical power. 

In any case, needing information now, the group continued walking calmly, not wanting to lose the person Shin Seong-ah had discovered.

“I’ll break away and capture them.”

“Okay.”

At the moment when building debris obscured their view, Shin Seong-ah quickly hid herself.

A moment later.

“Kyaaaa!”

Upon hearing the scream from behind the bus, Kang Hyeon quickly approached.

“What? It’s just a child?”

The girl Shin Seong-ah had captured was barely seven years old.

“Why is a child here?”

“I’m not sure either.”

“Let her go for now.”

“Yes.”

Shin Seong-ah released the girl’s arm. The girl looked warily at Kang Hyeon’s group.

“Hello?”

Kang Hyeon greeted her with a bright smile. He intended to appear friendly, but his fierce face made it seem like a threat.

“Oh no. She might cry.”

“Shut up.”

But the girl didn’t seem entirely scared of Kang Hyeon.

“Hello…”

She bowed her head carefully while greeting them, her vigilant eyes never leaving Kang Hyeon’s face.

“I’m Kang Hyeon, a big brother from Korea. What’s your name?”

“Michiko.”

“That’s a pretty name.”

“Thank you.”

Michiko bowed her head at Kang Hyeon’s compliment.

Kang Hyeon pulled popcorn from his inventory.

“Here’s popcorn. Do you know what this is? Popcorn!”

“Yes, I know.”

“I’ll give this to you.”

Michiko showed signs of hesitation at Kang Hyeon’s words.

“My dad said I shouldn’t accept things from strangers…”

Michiko spoke her mind despite seeming intimidated.

“Don’t you like popcorn? It’s so sweet and delicious.”

At that moment, Kang Hyeon chose to use a eating podcast strategy.

He filled his mouth with popcorn and chewed noisily.

“Wow Delicious.”

Yoon Na-rae looked at him with a pathetic expression, but Kang Hyeon didn’t stop.

“Mmm, popcorn is the best. So sweet.”

Michiko’s eyes grew wide, and she swallowed her saliva watching him.

Kang Hyeon subtly noticed her reaction and held out the popcorn.

“Want some?”

“Yes.”

“No. Didn’t you say your dad told you not to accept things from strangers?”

Michiko looked conflicted.

“Now I don’t have a dad, so it’s okay.”

“Oh, I… Is that so? I’m sorry.”

He wasn’t sure why he was apologizing, but felt he should.

Michiko quickly took the popcorn Kang Hyeon offered and stuffed it in her mouth.

“Is the popcorn tasty?”

“Yes!”

“From now on, don’t call me ‘mister’, call me ‘brother’.”

Michiko shook her head while her cheeks were stuffed with popcorn.

“Sure, sure. That’s good.”

Kang Hyeon, who had been smiling like an uncle, suddenly glared at Yoon Na-rae.

“What, what is it?”

“Go get some drinks. Coke or something.”

“Why would I…”

“Shh! Hurry and get it. Michiko is choking!”

Coincidentally, Michiko started coughing as if understanding Kang Hyeon’s words.

“Go now!”

“Tsk! Always making me do these chores…”

Yoon Na-rae left grumbling.

Kang Hyeon turned his attention back to Michiko.

“Michiko. I have something I’m curious about. Can I ask you something?”

“Yes.”

“Are you the only one here? Are there no other adults?”

“Yes.”

“Huh?”

Kang Hyeon was taken aback by Michiko nodding as if it were obvious.

“Where did all the adults go?”

“They were all eaten by monsters.”

“Oh… All? Everyone?”

“Yes.”

Michiko continued eating popcorn while speaking.

“Oh… So how long have you been alone?”

Michiko looked up at the sky as if thinking.

“The moon rose three times…”

She repeatedly opened and closed her small hands.

“Three days!”

“Were there people before that?”

Michiko nodded at Kang Hyeon’s question.

“Brother Jun-ae, who lived in the apartment in front of my house, was in 5th grade. We were originally together, but he was caught by monsters.”

“Hmm… I see.”

Her matter-of-fact tone made it difficult to know how to comfort her, so Kang Hyeon just nodded.

“The uncle Kiyoichi who lived across the street was also eaten. Emiko, who lived next door and was in middle school, was also eaten.”

“R-really?”

Once Michiko started talking, she chatted non-stop.

‘Is this okay?’

A child speaking about someone’s death as casually and calmly as if it were nothing.

Her appearance felt somehow grotesque.

Kang Hyeon suspected that some kind of defense mechanism might have been triggered due to the immense shock.

‘Her parents must be dead too.’

Though he didn’t directly ask, he was certain.

If the parents were alive, they would never have left the child to become so disheveled.

At that moment, Michiko’s handclap sound woke Kang Hyeon from his thoughts.

“That’s right! Emiko wasn’t eaten by the monster!”

“Huh? So is she possibly nearby?”

“No. Scary uncles took her away.”

Michiko’s words made Kang Hyeon’s eyes light up.

“Scary uncles?”

“Uncle Danto, the uncle who sells fruits at the market.”

“That uncle took Mieko?”

“Emiko.”

“Right. Emiko.”

“Yes! I saw him taking Emiko! Even though she didn’t want to go, Uncle Danto told her to follow him. And…”

“And?”

When Michiko hesitated to speak, Kang Hyeon urged her on.

“Uncle Danto seems to be friends with the monster there. The monsters listen well to Uncle Danto.”

“Oh… Is that so?”

Kang Hyeon smiled inwardly.

‘Bingo.’

She must be talking about undead monsters.

And if the undead listen to Uncle Danto, there are only two possibilities.

Either Uncle Danto is a high-ranking undead.

Or he’s trash attached to the undead.

‘Anyway, whichever it is, his skull will be crushed just the same.’

Kang Hyeon, smiling, patted Michiko’s head.

“Thank you for telling me. Michiko is such a kind child.”

“Hehe. You’re welcome.”

“Do you happen to know where Uncle Danto is right now?”

“Yes. But be careful. Uncle Danto lives with the monsters.”

Michiko whispered in Kang Hyeon’s ear like it was a secret.

“Don’t worry. This is a secret, but this Kang Hyeon is actually incredibly strong.”

“Really!? How strong are you?”

Michiko asked with a surprised expression.

“Umm… Know Power Laser?”

“No. I don’t know.”

“Ultraman?”

“I don’t know that either.”

“Anyway! Super strong!”

“Yes.”

Michiko nodded as if she couldn’t help but believe him.

“So. Will you tell me where that Dante uncle is?”

“Uncle Danto.”

“Right. Uncle Danto.”

“Hmm… Are you really strong? Can you beat the monsters?”

“I told you I can!”

After contemplating for a while, Michiko spoke.

“Yes. I’ll tell you.”

“Michiko! Thank you!”

Kang Hyeon smiled brightly as if truly delighted.

Yoon Nae-rae, watching this scene from the side, let out a deep sigh.

“Oh… This human being trained by a kindergartener is actually my guild leader…”

“You must believe.”

In a dark bunker.

A man’s voice echoed.

“Let us pray to the Apostle Dera Asas who provided us sanctuary.”

At the man’s words, hundreds of people bowed their heads.

“And let us pray to our sole god who permitted all of this. Lord Agon.”

This time, people knelt and pressed their heads to the ground.

The man looked at this scene with a satisfied smile.

“Very good. Now rise.”

People slowly stood up at his words.

Around them, various horrific undead were positioned by type.

“I will now provide today’s provisions. Let everyone eat with gratitude to Lord Agon and Lord Dera.”

When the man signaled, zombies began to move.

Low-level monsters called zombies who had raised the dead.

Due to their low magical power, their bodies were decaying in real-time, emitting a disgusting smell and having grotesque appearances.

-Splat!

They served an unidentifiable stew.

The people could hardly distinguish whether the foul odor came from the zombies or the stew.

“Thank you.”

In the past, they would have immediately thrown it in the trash, but now things were different.

Everyone bowed their heads and obediently received the meal.

“Good. Excellent.”

The man who was looking at this scene proudly returned to his room.

Before him was a rare feast in these times, including a steak.

“Well, shall I start my meal?”

The man rubbed his hands and picked up a fork and knife, cutting the steak.

As he put the neatly cut square steak in his mouth, a rich flavor spread.

“Now is the time! Now is the time to drink wine.”

A glass of wine is drunk when the meat’s aroma is full!

This was the man’s favorite way of eating.

“Kid. You don’t know how to eat. At times like this, you should drink beer.”

“Huh?”
