Chapter 345 The Cunning Dragon Country People!
The day after receiving the notification letter from the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, there were still three days left before the South Korean Kingdom was to pay reparations.
"Your Excellency! Something...something is amiss!"
In the past two days, the number of evolutionists in many civilian forces has decreased at an abnormal rate!
We just did a rough count and found that at least five thousand evolved individuals are missing in the last two days!
"At the interim prime minister's office in South Korea, someone reported."
Five thousand? How is that possible?!
Upon hearing this news, the South Korean Prime Minister's eyes widened in disbelief.
Although South Korea has a large number of survivors and a significant number of evolved individuals.
With a population of five million, the probability of awakening on the night of the spiritual energy revival tide is approximately one percent.
Although a significant number of evolved individuals have been lost in the past few months, the number of evolved individuals in South Korea still remains above 30,000.
This is also the main reason why, despite constant friction and ongoing warfare with North Korea after the country's recovery, they were still able to spare considerable energy to prepare for dealing with the Northeast Allied Army of China.
Although North Korea's social system is somewhat abstract, its fighting power is real.
However, due to its poverty, South Korea was unable to catch up in terms of population with South Korea, which had been brought along by its adoptive father and thus developed rapidly, and became a bitter enemy of developed countries long ago.
If the population were equal, South Korea might already be defeated.
Even so, the loss of five thousand evolved individuals is an unacceptable number for South Korea.
That's almost one-sixth of the number of evolved beings!
In fact, in order to obtain more evolved meat and make evolved individuals stronger, South Korea encouraged them to hunt evolved creatures.
Evolvers who did not join the army only needed to hand over half of their daily earnings to the national treasury.
The government controls the military, and the military controls firearms. An army with organized firearms is something even powerful evolved beings would fear.
Therefore, even if the evolved beings were unwilling to hand over half of their prey, they had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Humans are social animals. Without large-scale population gatherings, even powerful evolved beings would be in great danger in the wild.
However, the South Korean government is willing to accept evolved individuals into the military, even though the military's evolved individuals are nominally required to hand over all their daily earnings.
In reality, military evolved individuals can simply hand over the remaining portion after satisfying their own consumption needs.
This is actually much better than the situation of civilian evolutionists, since hunting is not a government-employed job with guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood.
Hunting can be a gamble; you might end up catching nothing all day, and then you might even encounter a powerful evolved creature. You could send a group of people in, only to end up with nothing and suffer a huge loss.
Even so, the South Korean people's aversion and fear of the military are deeply ingrained, and most people still prefer freedom. Therefore, the number of civilian evolved individuals in South Korea is twice that of military evolved individuals!
This is precisely why the absurd situation of five thousand evolved beings going missing was only discovered at this point.
The coastline near Seoul is excellent, stretching for hundreds of kilometers with sandy beaches rather than towering bay cliffs. In order to gain more, the evolved beings will choose to travel further and distance themselves from the hunting locations of others.
Otherwise, the competition for prey between different evolved beings would intensify significantly.
If the situation becomes serious and a fight breaks out, people could die.
This is also part of the reason why the South Korean government took so long to realize this.
While hunting, you might encounter powerful evolved creatures and be killed by them.
It's also possible that the two evolved beings would fight over prey, resulting in casualties.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for dozens or even hundreds of evolved beings to die every day in Seoul; sometimes, hundreds of them may even die.
But in the past two days, five thousand evolved beings have died, which is definitely not normal!
"Damn it...it must be those guys from China!"
These damned creatures are just as cunning as their ancestors!
They first wrote a letter to provoke us, demanding compensation in five days.
They had already taken action against us long ago!
The South Korean Prime Minister widened his eyes, looked around, and then gritted his teeth.
These days, the only strange things that have happened are those guys from the Dragon Kingdom!
Now, those guys from the Dragon Kingdom have just wiped out the army he sent, killed their only fourth-tier expert, and are writing to them demanding compensation...
As a result, such huge casualties have occurred in just two days!
If these two things are unrelated, he'll eat shit upside down!
"Then... Your Excellency, what do we do next?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, those people from the Dragon Kingdom silently killed five thousand of our evolved beings without our knowledge. Are we really their match?"
“I read the letter they gave us, and it was all fake!”
They were attacked by the troops we sent and suffered heavy losses...
This is clearly a trap they're setting to lure us in!
"Those cunning Chinese, how despicable..."
……
The connection between the two events was too obvious, and the cabinet ministers were all filled with righteous indignation.
Seeing that these cabinet ministers, one by one, had just noticed some disadvantages and started to belittle themselves, the South Korean Prime Minister was immediately furious.
He finally managed to rise from a puppet figurehead controlled by major conglomerates to a prime minister with real power, riding the wave of the spiritual energy revival. How could he be defeated by such a small difficulty?!
"Pass on my order! Organize military evolved individuals, as well as evolved individuals from various civilian forces, and mobilize at least ten thousand of them!"
Everyone proceed to the naval port to prepare for boarding!
We'll circle around from the west coast of the peninsula to the east coast, to the beach where those Chinese camps are located!
I will personally command the fleet and ensure they don't see the sun rise tomorrow!
The South Korean Prime Minister stood up angrily and then spoke decisively.
“But… Your Excellency, we don’t have command of our fleet, it’s… it’s General John’s…”
At this moment, a cabinet minister timidly raised his hand and offered a reminder.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere of the entire cabinet meeting suddenly became deathly silent.
The most powerful army in South Korea is not their native troops, but the bald eagle troops stationed in South Korea.
After the spiritual energy revival, those black and white gentry knew that they were outnumbered.
Therefore, under the command of General John, the commander-in-chief of the US military in South Korea, the army, navy, and air force were all moved to a naval base near Seoul.
With control of various powerful military weapons, and with many powerful evolved beings among the Bald Eagle's troops stationed in South Korea, South Korea was still unable to break free from Bald Eagle's control even after the spiritual energy revival.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the United States, relying on their undeniable military strength, intensified their attacks on South Korea.
For example, South Korean boy bands, girl groups, and all sorts of good-looking people, regardless of gender, would be sent to naval bases.
For example, whether those soldiers hunt evolved creatures depends solely on whether they want to play or not.
The South Korean government needs to allocate a large portion of the "evolutionary meat" from its national treasury to supply the bald eagle soldiers at the naval base.
Now, whether the navy takes action, and how it takes action, does not depend on the Prime Minister of South Korea.
