111. Merge
It was the night before the storm, which meant it was calm. However, the statement didn’t fit their situation perfectly. The atmosphere in Korea had been quite tense lately. Maybe the storm had already begun. Around August of last year, the first Monster Wave occurred on the Korean Peninsula. At that time, the public’s anxiety hit new peaks, and the phenomenon of hoarding and shortages of daily necessities followed like thread and needle.
The present appearance of the streets seemed to be a recreation of the time in the past. People were hell-bent on buying rice or canned ramen. There was no cut-off in the line from supermarkets to the small shops in the neighborhood due to the Monster Wave incidents reported every day. Ko Byeong-gap received the impression that the news was creating drama again. Their articles were so blatant, provocative, and eerie. Couldn’t they be a little quieter?
But if this was the true role of the media, he didn’t have much to say. It was said that more than 70 percent of Argentina’s land had already been declared unrepairable. Its neighboring countries Chile and Uruguay, were also suffering from the spreading monsters. If the monsters moved north with this momentum, they would soon eat Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil.
“Yes, sir. I’m the one who texted you. Yes, then I’ll visit you around 1 o’clock. Yeah.”
“Are you going out again today?”
When the call ended, his mother, Park Young-ok, spoke.
“Oh, yeah. I’ve got some business to do.”
“In a situation like this, just stay at home. It isn’t bad to stay at all.”
“It’s okay. Mom, don’t go out and stay home.”
“You know your mother. I don’t even know where to go…”
Ko Byeong-gap smiled faintly and fixed his shoes.
“Then, I’ll be back. Call me right away if anything happens.”
“Be careful.”
Ko Byeong-gap, like everyone else, was prepared for any possible emergency. However, his preparation was a little different. The items he was looking for weren’t emergency food supplies such as rice or canned ramen of seedlings and livestock. Such things could be easily obtained even in difficult times with enough money. Fortunately, the money he earned was enough now that he didn’t have to pay hospital bills anymore.
“It’s better to use it than to waste it.”‘
He converted almost all of his fortune to cash. Now, the cash he held was about to run out. He might be criticized for trusting Seo Si-hee and spending his money irresponsibly. However, Ko Byeong-gap had a different idea.
‘I can make money again, but I can’t pick up spilled water.’
If Seo Si-hee’s predicted disaster hit, a bundle of banknotes would be useless as anything other than toilet paper. In other words, it was better to use it now than to hoard it. Ko Byeong-gap was kept busy that day, roaming all over the country to buy crops and livestock. The vendors he met acted as if Ko Byeong-gap was their benefactor. They were grateful that he grew their sales in this terrible situation. It was Ko Byeong-gap who was thankful for them.
“Oh, thank you, boss!”

“No, thank you.”
He stopped by the ranch and bought as many as 200 sheep. He even bought a five-ton mega truck and a trailer to carry them. Earning his license for large vehicles while he was in the military was a godsend. He paid the balance and transferred the livestock to the trailer. Then, he left the ranch and drove to a deserted road. After that, he moved the vehicle over to Ashvilam.
The Goblins weren’t surprised when a huge truck popped out of the air. They just figured Ko Byeong-gap had arrived.
“Lord, did you bring animals with you today?”
Kiriyan, who was just around the corner, guessed so right away. Ko Byeong-gap answered with a cigarette in his mouth.
“Oh, it’s sheep. Hey, you furry guys. Come here, everyone.”
“Yes!”
The Beast Goblins came. Ko Byeong-gap skillfully opened the trailer door and set up a foothold. The sheep were frightened by the Beast Goblins and stood completely frozen.
“Do you know the place where they put up a barrier yesterday? Bring them there and let them roam.”
“I see!”
“Separate the male and females and feed them.”
“Yep! Come on, let’s go! Kerreuk!”
“Meh…”
As the Beast Goblins roared, the sheep moved neatly in three lines. It was a convenient ability.
“It seems like you’ve been moving a lot of things lately.”
Kiriyan looked at the sheep and spoke softly. Ko Byeong-gap breathed out smoke as he answered.
“Well, maybe.”
“Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?”
“Come on, man. What’s wrong with that?”
