I Became a Mental Health Care Patient in the Apocalyptic Era

Episode 32-Wave Preparation

The tendency of the rulers of this city was not, strictly speaking, evil.

They were doing their best to protect this city in their own way.

It’s ridiculous to think that the best way is for them to monopolize all wealth and systems.

One example is that rather than spending 500,000 won to arm a poor person, they think it is more beneficial to spend 500,000 won more to make weapons for the higher awakening.

It was even judged that raising the standard of living and reducing stress by increasing the wages of upper awakeners by an additional 100,000 won was better than giving up the life of one person living in the outskirts.

It’s a very strange idea, but it’s not wrong at all.

In order to survive in the apocalypse, you have to make more efficient choices even if you look cold.

If the city had kept its current ethos and paid a little more attention to the defense of the outskirts, it wouldn’t have suffered massive damage through the waves, but for the player, it’s far better for the city to move as extreme as possible. .

If this city had been doing its best and moving efficiently, the impact of player actions would have been that much smaller.

Because it’s much more efficient for a player to tell you when a wave arrives just once than to spend money regularly to get information on the outskirts of the city.

It is rather more efficient to take all the benefits that can be obtained from the bias of funds and prevent all the side effects by the player.

“Yes? You said you could see a precursor to a wave?”

As soon as Gahyeon arrived at the academy the next day, he informed his students about the wave.

Since Gahyeon was such an influential person, the news spread throughout the academy in an instant, and the news about the wave reached the ears of the president, who could be said to be a person of power.

There was nothing more for me to do.

Due to the personality of the president, he will go to check the outskirts at least once, and even if the president doesn’t check, Gahyeon and Seoyeon will shout into their house to get information about the wave.

Without the player’s intervention, the wave would have caused great damage, but thanks to the player’s intervention, the money that should have been spent constantly exploring the outskirts could have been saved.

While I was reading a book while having strange thoughts, Park Soo-hyun slapped me on the back and passed by.

I wonder why this guy hit me all of a sudden, he looked at him and saw a raised thumb.

It looked like he was giving me a thumbs up to mean that he did a good job, but if he had gone, he would have been able to finish the job in less time, but I was a little annoyed at Park Soo-hyun, who didn’t even respond until I left.

‘Are you saying that your 3 hours are more wasteful than my 4 hours and Gahyeon’s 4 hours?’

Maybe he thought it would be much more efficient for Gahyeon to speak than to speak for himself.

Before the afternoon passed, the president said that he had been to the outskirts of the city once and confirmed that a premonition of a wave had occurred.

It will consume additional resources to figure out if the wave really happened, so you’ll find out and prepare to stop the wave soon.

‘And we will also participate in wave defense.’

The cadets of the academy were not yet fully bloomed, but they were talented people with great potential.

Depending on their skills, they could easily block weak monsters and improve their skills through field experience.

There could have been cadets exposed to danger during the process, but since the return is overwhelming compared to the risk, we will probably participate in blocking the wave unconditionally.

*********

“The whole city is buzzing.”

“Because it’s almost certain that the wave is coming.”

Seoyeon sighed and looked at her Gahyeon.

Gahyeon was pouting out what she was so dissatisfied with. Even though she had discovered the harbinger of the wave thanks to me, she seemed to have a lot of antipathy towards the current situation where she was getting more spotlight.

“How long are you going to stay like that?”

“I don’t know.”

She leaned her head on her shoulder, sticking close to Gahyeon, who didn’t seem to sink easily.

“I’m fine, so don’t be too heartbroken. What are you going to do out of anger when the other person is fine?”

As she spoke softly, I could feel Gahyeon’s trembling slowly diminishing.

“But… You figured it out, but no one knows.”

“Is it important that someone knows? It’s important that you found the wave early.”

As she was treating Gahyeon’s mental condition, I could hear her footsteps.

“Gahyeon, what are you doing right now!”

Those footsteps approached me in an instant and picked me up and separated me from Gahyeon.

“Because I’m attached? And can you let me go?”

“Okay!”

Jisoo laughed at my words and lowered me.

“Suhyeon said we should meet and have a meeting?”

“I have to. It’s not normal.”

It was decided that the cadets would participate in groups of five.

It is said that it is to minimize the risk that the cadets can take and to maximize the educational effect that can be obtained by moving together, but it did not apply to the main character, Joe.

The main character, Joe, composed of Park Soo-hyun, Yang Ga-hyun, Lee Seo-yeon, Park Ji-soo, and Lee Ju-eun, will never act in a normal way.

“What? You can defy the orders of the superior, so be careful?”

Gahyeon shouted in embarrassment at Park Soohyun’s words.

“Uh, we have a much stronger military power compared to other groups. If that military power listens to only basic commands, the value of utility will decrease, right? No. If our proposed strategy is not accepted, of course we will listen to the orders of the superior, so don’t worry too much.”

Gahyeon let out a big sigh at the sight of Park Soo-hyeon talking calmly enough to feel hard.

“Haa… Yes, do it yourself. Anyway, if it’s a strategy approved by the superiors, it’s a level that won’t make a big difference.”

“Then I know that.”

Soohyun Park nodded and started talking about basic things like hand signals and equipment.

‘The drug is the guy.’

There are no lies in what Park Soo-hyun said.

We will not rebel against the words of our superiors, and we will only act like that when our suggestions are accepted by our superiors.

The biggest pitfall here is that just because a superior does not know all the profit and loss of every operation.

An operation that the superior judges has a risk of about 10 and a benefit of about 15 may actually bring greater risk and greater return.

It was such an operation that Park Soo-hyun was aiming for.

It is said that the risk and return are greater than the upper management judges, so they act by formulating a strategy that can make a big contribution to blocking the wave.

You can ask if such a strategy is easy to understand, but Park Soo-hyun has a sense as a player.

Players have already found out all the basic strategies, so it’s just a matter of going with a strategy that appeals to you.

“Still, it’s good that the base camp provides food.”

“Bring emergency food. You never know what will happen.”

“Why?”

“If the captain brings it, bring it. Don’t be too nervous.”

Park Soo-hyun’s request contained a lot of elements that would be very out of the blue for those who couldn’t read his thoughts, and I resolved the antipathy that came out.

When I intercede while slowly using my flirting skills, the kids couldn’t lose their smiles and just followed my words.

Park Soo-hyun just looked at me as if he was amazed that the advice he had reacted nervously to his words became docile immediately to my word, whether it was because he was a man or because he didn’t know my face.

“Then, I think the basic strategy should be like this. You’ll know more about the details after the wave breaks.”

“But about a wave, if you know it’s going to explode, you can’t prevent it at all?”

“There are cases that can be prevented, but it is not a preventable wave right now. A powerful boss-level monster has appeared and is destroying the ecosystem itself. Even if the boss-level monster is defeated right away, the wave will not be maintained. There is no other way but to keep blocking it until the Tenney ecosystem stabilizes.”

What Seoyeon said was half right and half wrong.

Killing the boss level monster didn’t stop the wave, but he was able to shorten the period as much as possible.

Also, there is not one boss-level monster, but two, and our goal is to kill both of them.
