Chapter 570 The Demon God Descends on South Korea

boom!!!

Another missile exploded above his head.

Kogas's patience had finally reached its breaking point.

"Aww!!!"

He looked up to the sky and let out a furious roar.

The sound waves visibly spread outwards, causing the snow on the ice field to be shaken and thrown into the air several meters.

He didn't want to be used as a target by these damn bugs here.

A subordinate had previously relayed this information.

Another human settlement was discovered about several tens of kilometers to the southeast.

He planned to vent his anger over there first, and settle the score here later!

Kogas's massive body soared into the air, flying rapidly through the dark polar sky.

With a flight speed of over two thousand meters per second, it created a gully of air currents stretching for tens of kilometers across the ice field.

Behind him, the missiles of the Great Xia were still in pursuit.

However, conventional missiles cannot keep up with the speed of an eighth-tier demon god moving at full speed.

In just a few dozen kilometers, or a dozen seconds, Kogas arrived quickly.

He slowed down, his domain spreading out like an invisible net covering the icy plain beneath his feet.

He caught it very quickly.

Beneath the ice, at a depth of about 800 meters, a dense mass of life forms huddled together.

Weak and frail, like a swarm of maggots huddled in their nest.

The quantity is enormous!

Kogas's mouth split open, revealing a row of black fangs.

He landed on an ice field covered in snow.

The ice beneath my feet let out a muffled groan, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards for hundreds of meters.

He lowered his head, his crimson giant eyes staring at his feet, but he didn't sense anything that made his heart tremble.

That's great!

……

This underground city is called Ershou.

The only remaining core city of South Korea in the post-apocalyptic era.

When it comes to South Korea's survival history during the apocalypse, it can be summed up in one word: tragic.

In short, they deserved it.

After the news of the Great Slowdown of Earth was announced, countries around the world began frantically searching for suitable locations to build underground refuge facilities.

With its powerful infrastructure capabilities and national system, the Great Xia Dynasty simultaneously constructed thirty-six underground cities named after the Heavenly Gang in the North and South Poles under the Ark Project.

With its vast territory and long-standing heritage, the Russian bear has also established a firm foothold in the Arctic Circle.

Needless to say, the United States, with its deep pockets and global military network, has seized a large territory in Antarctica.

If it weren't for the united resistance from the Russian bear, the Great Xia, and the 80 countries, the United States would also have a place in the Arctic.

As for South Korea?

What say can a peninsula country, whose land area is smaller than a province of Daxia, have in the face of the end of the world?

When it comes to territorial disputes in the Arctic, any one of the following countries—British Daxia, Russian Bear, or the Republic of China—could easily crush South Korea.

The Koreans don't even have the guts to go to the Arctic to join in the fun.

Finally, having no other choice, they had to swallow their pride and beg their big brother, the United States.

The United States did not refuse.

After all, having one more dog to guard the house is better than having one less.

But the cost...

South Korea poured all of its accumulated foreign exchange reserves, gold reserves, strategic material reserves, and technological expertise into the pockets of the United States.

They even demanded that someone be sent.

South Korea's young and middle-aged labor force was transferred in whole units to work as laborers at the United Kingdom's Antarctic base under the guise of "joint construction cooperation".

They did all sorts of dirty and tiring work, from digging tunnels and moving supplies to building facilities.

Someone died?

Just add it.

And so, South Korea finally managed to acquire a small, worst piece of land on the edge of the United Kingdom's Antarctic territory.

The area is so small, barely enough to build an underground city.

This is the origin of Ershou Underground City.

In addition to this core city, South Korea has also built a city underground within its own territory.

But that city was built for those who weren't qualified to board the Antarctic migration fleet, and the conditions were appalling.

It's not even comparable to the Heavenly Gang City of Great Xia, let alone a fraction of the second-rate underground cities of the Eagle Kingdom.

The people of South Korea all know that it's uncertain whether that city can survive for ten years.

A massive earthquake caused by tectonic plate movement occurred, and it was gone just like that.

Although Seoul has preserved nearly ten million people from South Korea, life in the city is far from as good as outsiders imagine.

The city's ecosystem is a miniature version of the old world.

It was even more naked and ugly than the old world.

Because underground, there is no sunlight, no sky, and no room to escape.

Everything was compressed into a cage of reinforced concrete.

Ordinary people live in cubicles of concrete, like pigeonholes.

Each cubicle is less than ten square meters, and a family of three would have to walk sideways if they were squeezed in.

My daily routine consists of three things: getting up, queuing for food rations, and digging at the bottom of the ground.

That's right, digging.

The construction of Ersou was rushed, and many areas are still unfinished.

The work of expanding the underground city relied entirely on the manpower of these ordinary people.

They work ten hours a day in the damp and sweltering bottom, in exchange for a food ration that is just enough to keep them from starving.

What to do if you get sick?

Sorry, medical resources are prioritized for "VIPs".

People at the bottom have no choice but to bear it all on their own.

We made it through; we'll keep digging tomorrow.

Can't make it through?

Then let's find someone else to do the digging. Dungeon resources are limited, so we shouldn't keep useless people around.

The upper levels of the underground city are another world altogether.

The tycoon's bosses live in spacious underground villas with artificial sunlight, a circulating garden, and a heated swimming pool.

Politicians' daily work consists of meetings, wrangling, dividing the spoils, and incidentally adding an entertainment room to their underground mansions.

Everything we eat and use is the best.

While ordinary people were eating compressed biscuits, they were drinking rare red wine.

A few months ago, a nuclear war broke out on Earth.

Global nuclear bombing has devastated the Earth, causing the existing order to collapse completely.

Ershou City repeatedly dug tunnels leading to the surface, but these were repeatedly blocked by missiles launched by the Great Xia.

Strangely enough, these high-ranking officials weren't angry.

It wasn't that they were particularly calm; rather, they simply had no intention of leaving at all.

What can you do if you go out?

South Korea doesn't have nuclear weapons; if they go abroad now, they'll just be targets.

Rather than being chased and beaten on the surface, it's better to stay underground and live your own quiet life.

Therefore, the ruler, Park Chang-da, made the decision: let them live and multiply peacefully underground.

But with nearly ten million people crammed into an underground city, if they aren't given some entertainment, trouble is bound to break out sooner or later.

These people do have some brains.

They continued to promote the "entertainment through entertainment" theory, producing some terrifying live streams and variety entertainment programs.

Horror live streams evolved from old-world entertainment models, and their content consists of nothing more than eye-catching, life-threatening games.

The common people were completely engrossed in watching it, partly because it was truly captivating.

On the other hand... it's because if the "contestants" who participate in the show win, they can get a lot of wealth and a better place to live.

And those who lost?

Nobody cares.

As for those glamorous girl group members, those girls who were adored by thousands on stage and worshipped as goddesses by fans, they are now nothing more than accessories at the dinner table and in bed of the upper class.

In the apocalypse, the aura of idols fades faster than the sunlight on the ground.

This is Ershou City.

A city rotting beneath a layer of ice.

The outside world has been turned upside down, while some people inside are barely surviving, while others are indulging in pleasure.

No one expected that the real apocalypse was hurtling towards them at a speed of two thousand meters per second.
