Chapter 17: The Inevitable Fate of Trash Mobs (4)
* * *
From a historical perspective, it was almost inevitable for the Korean government to stake everything in cultivating Superhumans.
After the Korean War1, there were no resources left in the devastated land, even the infrastructure was not worth mentioning.
And their only lifeline, the Kaesong Dimensional Portal, was not even owned by South Korea. With the entrance managed by the Soviet Union and the exit by the Americans, South Korea was left with no authority whatsoever.
Despite witnessing the immense wealth generated by the Dimensional Portal, South Korea had no choice but to bow their heads and be grateful for the leftovers left behind by the two superpowers.
And in the face of this unjust reality, some people arrived at one conclusion: All that remained in this country were people.
This thought did not change even as the Cold War2 intensified and South Korea achieved economic development with massive aid from the United States.
In fact, it became even more solidified.
- Just the people. People are the only 'resource' left in this country.3
