Hiding a House in the Apocalypse

unicorn18: It’s going to take some time to review. Be patient. Getting a plane up and running isn’t exactly easy.

Just because I sent the data didn’t mean I was heading straight to Jeju.

I hadn’t expected to leave immediately anyway.

Of course, I hadn’t made the mistake of handing over the entire disk.

Not that Unicorn had even asked for that.

This disk was my lifeline.

I didn’t know exactly what was inside, but it was too valuable to give away outright.

At any rate, since Jeju’s decision would take time, we had the opportunity to analyze the data left behind by the mysterious Chinese scientist.

The one who pushed for its translation and analysis was Cheon Young-jae.

“We don’t have anything else to do. Might as well crack it open. Aren’t you curious why those bastards were so desperate to get this?”

He had earned that right.

He had fought on the frontlines of a near-hopeless battle, risking his life.

Since we weren’t moving out immediately, Ha Tae-hoon stayed in the hut built by Rebecca and her daughter.

The battle was over, but the Chinese military wasn’t the type to forgive and forget.

Vengeance ran deep in them.

If they decided to track us, we had to remain vigilant.@@novelbin@@

While Cheon Young-jae volunteered to stand guard, Ha Tae-hoon and I sat down with a translation program and online dictionaries, attempting to sift through thousands of files.

“… …”

To be honest, I had no idea what I was looking at.

And no amount of staring would change that.

This was like handing a book to a caveman and expecting him to interpret it.

Ha Tae-hoon wasn’t faring much better, but at least he had an edge.

He was better at Chinese than I was and had a four-year college degree under his belt.

Having money meant that even failure wasn’t the end of the road for him.
