Chapter 22
“What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing.”
Clunk-clunk-.
Do-jae sat in the passenger seat of the heavy 5-ton truck, heading somewhere.
His expression was complex and subtle.
‘A field assignment on the very first day…’
He didn’t find the assignment strange.
A hunter is one who chases dungeons.
Do-jae himself had often ventured beyond Gyeonggi Province, sometimes heading to Jeolla or Gyeongsang Provinces for hunts.
Then what made him so sullen?
‘This is my first time ever coming to North Korea.’
In the past, North Korea wasn’t a place just anyone could go, but that’s no longer the case.
Under the pretext of subduing the monster-infested lands caused by the dungeon break within North Korea, entry into the country had become possible.
‘I never imagined it would be this empty.’
In the early days of the Great Cataclysm, unfortunately, there weren’t many hunters in North Korea.
The reason was that most of the awakened individuals who gained abilities fled across the Yalu and Tumen Rivers to China or overseas.
This led to a slow response to the monsters, and over time, the situation gradually spiraled out of control.
Now, the nation barely maintains its system.
With nuclear weapons.
In a world where humans possess the ability to intercept flying missiles and send them hurtling into space, how could nuclear weapons possibly help maintain the regime?
The North Korean government held its own citizens hostage.
That is, the plan to drop nuclear weapons on their own country!
