Chapter 1181. Annihilated (1)

The police officer, Jo Han-Bong, bowed apologetically and tried to explain. “My sincerest apologies, ma’am. Apparently, someone discovered some kind of hazardous material nearby. We also don’t know the specifics as we’re merely following orders.”
“Well, I’ll be. Why do we have to go through with this inconvenience, young man?”
“My apologies, ma’am.”
“No, no. Don’t apologize, officer. You haven’t done anything wrong, after all. You’re just doing your job, anyway. Okay, so... We’re supposed to get on this thing?”
“Yes, ma’am,” said Jo Han-Bong.
“Really? Where will this bus take us, though?”
“A temporary shelter has been set up inside the Wolmyeong Gymnasium, ma’am. More temporary shelters are being prepared in nearby elemental schools as well. You will be taken to one of those places.”
“Really...? You aren’t taking us to some other weird place? Like a secret lab?”
Jo Han-Bong could only smile weakly at that. “E-eii, ma’am. Please don’t joke about things like that.”
“Okay. Well, I’ll believe you.”
