Survival Records of 3650 days in the Otherworld - Chapter 289

It was hard to believe at first and no one was sure how long the effect would last. The earthquake that hit North America caused a heavy tsunami to affect the entire world, turning everything into chaos. However, that was only the beginning. The Asian continent was divided into many pieces and a lot of the land sunk into the vast seas.

Everything that existed was swept into the sea. It was hell on Earth. Human civilization was no more. At first, people tried to help each other to survive, but that didn’t last for long as their own survival became more important.

People began killing each other to survive and only the strong stood on top in the survival of the fittest.

In that world, Suhee and Youngah barely made a living by prostituting themselves. At least it kept them alive for another day. Soon, they started living with those who came for their services. They bonded with each other and that helped them all survive. They had kids and finally a semblance of peace.

However, that didn’t last long. The men who had protected Youngah and Suhee were killed, and so they had to find others to protect them.

‘We have no choice anymore.’

It was hard to endure it any longer, especially with what just happened.

-Get her out of here! We can’t have her here anymore!

-What?! We have nowhere we can go! Please don’t cast us out! I will sleep with you every night! Please!

-That b*tch bit that thing off! I can’t let this one pass. We can’t stay with crazy people. I can keep you, but not her, she’s done for. So, you either leave with her or stay alone. You decide.

It was the decision made by the group. It was cold, but correct.

“Suhee. Let’s go.”

“Y-youngah?”

“Let’s go find your kids.”

“R-really? Are we going to go find Jungho and Misun?”

Suhee looked excited to hear those words.

“They must be crying for me. We will have to go find them and feed them with… oh, where is the food?”

Suhee barely managed to get up and began to search the area for the lump of potatoes she had hidden.

‘Yeah… at least we will go without any pain…’

Youngah bit her lip as she thought about the cliff not too far away from their location.

“Okay. Let’s go. Come on.”

Youngah got up and began to walk out toward the door as people turned to look at them.

“People, I’m leave to find my kids! Farewell!”

Some looked away and some began to sob quietly, but no one got up to stop them from leaving.

“I’m sorry.”

A small voice spoke up and Youngah smiled. She had seen this happen many times before. The man who spoke opened the door for them and Youngah and Suhee walked out. They were under a bright blue sky.

“Hey! Look at the sky! Wow!”

The cool fall sky had appeared and Youngah and Suhee stood there looking up at it. Suhee then turned to Youngah and asked, “Okay, where are we heading to now?”

“That way. We’ll check the cliff and find a way from there.”

“Sure. That place is high, so we can see where to go. Or maybe we can even find traces of where our kids went.”

Of course, that was impossible. Their kids were most likely were taken away by monster birds. Youngah shook her head and grabbed Suhee’s hand tightly as they started walking.

“Okay. Let’s go now.”

“Thank you, Youngah.”

Then, they moved. It wasn’t too far from their location, but their starved and weary state made it hard for them to even walk up to the cliff. Soon, they reached the place.

“Wow… I can see everything. It’s great,” Suhee said as she stood in the comforting breeze.

“Yeah… let’s search from here.”

It was time to make her move now. Youngah placed her hand on Suhee’s shoulder. She felt an excruciating heartache for what she had to do.

“…?”

Suhee’s hand came up to her shoulder and grabbed hers.

“Hehe. It was so fun when we used to do broadcasting back then.”

“Yeah… I wish to go back to those times again.”

“Youngah… Thank you.”

“Huh? For what?”

“This is it, right?”

“What?”

“Will I be joining my kids?”

Youngah started trembling.

“Thank you.”

Suhee nuzzled her face against Youngah’s hand as the two looked out toward the sea. The cool breeze felt so nice. Just then, a giant bird began to dive down at them. It was those birds that took Suhee’s kids. Suhee gripped Youngah’s hand tightly and Youngah also looked up.

Gunfire was heard, and the monster bird fell down past the cliff.

Then, came the siren and…

-This is an announcement to all surviving people in the area. We are soldiers of the Khalodian Southern Army. Please stop avoiding or attacking us should you come into contact with us.

-We are currently eradicating the monster population on Jeju Island in order to take back the island. Please let yourself be known to avoid any accidental gunfire on you.

-Our army is over 10 million strong. We are doing our best to rescue any people that might be in the area. Please help us rescue you if you are in hiding.

And that wasn’t the only sound. Youngah and Suhee saw a flying vehicle that they had not seen in the last decade.

“A h-helicopter?”

“Ah!”

The helicopter flew over to them and landed.

“Are you hurt?”

“Ah…”

“It’s an angel!”

Arwen with his blonde hair came out of the helicopter. The two women instantly forgot why they had come to the cliff.
