Chapter 199 – Temples
The children’s mouths widen at Ignis’ words.
“Crazy! Did I hear something wrong? That… The old man is a confession?!”
“I, sir. Are Ignis-sama’s words true?”
They seemed shocked to hear that I had confessed.
‘That, was that a confession?’
At that time, I said it without much awareness, but I thought that I could think of it that way.
In particular, the gazes of Lee Ji-ah and Baek Seol-hwa looking at me are pitiful. Behind him, Chaewon was also seen silently protesting.
“Heeing… Oppa…”
The gaze pouring from them.
And the pressure you feel from that gaze.
I felt an unknown coolness down my spine.
‘Damn it… I never thought that what Ignis sniffed at me would come back like this.’
“Why is everyone doing this? Is this such a surprise?”
Ignis tilted his head at the gloomy atmosphere of the girls and said.
“Then this is a surprise… That old man is a confession. What a surprise!”
Perhaps because of Ignis’ force, Han Suji was uncharacteristically cautious of her words.
“I don’t understand. It’s natural for a man to want a woman he likes. My father alone has over 20 wives. Compared to him, there are very few masters. In order to leave many offspring, the more wives the better.”
More than 20 people…
Will you become an emperor?
…Was a bit envious.
“Crazy! Mister, what are you going to do?”
You shouldn’t be shaking here.
Can’t be shaken
You have to keep your mind straight.
Even for my girls!
“Kuhm. People shouldn’t have a narrow-minded view. You should also know how to respect and accept other good cultures.”
-King. King.
I heard a dog barking somewhere.
Chaewon shakes her head.
Jia still had a sullen face.
She also seemed like she would have to try hard to comfort her later.
“Nanggunnim, this is a fair statement. I was shaken unknowingly at the words that mygunnim confessed. If you are your companion, you should have a broad heart… But this incident made me feel that my training is very insufficient. Is.”
Seolhwa bowing his head respectfully.
Fortunately, she seemed impressed by my words.
“I’m satisfied with being your master’s slave!”
Suni, who was next to her, smiled brightly and hugged my arm.
“20 wives? Slaves? Everyone is crazy!
Han Suji grabbed her head as if she had a headache.
“Keuheum. Then, let’s all talk to each other.”
I decided to step aside so they could get to know each other better.
“Ah! Mister. Where are you running irresponsibly?!”
-King. King.
I neatly ignored Susie, who was criticizing me.
Originally, I was planning to even include them in a party, but now is not the time.
I decided to do that separately later.

Pyeongtaek.
Camp Humphreys.
This is where the US military was stationed before the world went awry.
Daniel Burns, commander of the US Forces Korea, quickly sorted out the chaos in Humphreys and built a barrier to create a safe zone to protect the survivors.
Daniel was looking around the top of the barrier as always today.
“How about contact from the mainland?”
“Doesn’t exist.”
Adjutant Walter Anderson, who was walking beside him, answered.
Contact with the mainland was good in the early days.
However, at some point, contact was cut off and it has been over 3 weeks now.
Even when they contacted me, they only told me to wait, but even in my home country, there seemed to be no sharp countermeasures.
Now, it was right to gradually give up hope for the mainland. I thought so in my head, but I couldn’t help but still have lingering lingering feelings.
“What about food?”
“It will depend on the supply situation in the future, but… About 3 months are left.”
Daniel looked under the barrier.
I could see zombies wriggling like maggots under the barrier.
Now, bullets are too precious to be left unattended.
And the problem is not those.
The giant ones that pop out from time to time were the problem.
Previously, one side of the barrier was broken by that big monster, and I barely managed to fix it.
In addition, a bigger problem was the recent increase in the number of zombies flocking to the camp.
It was a mountain beyond a mountain.
I still had to endure.
But he only endured.
“What do you think? Do you think these unkillable things will come in droves?”
“I don’t know about that. But we can’t be optimistic. Wouldn’t it be better to prepare in advance?”
“Huh…Yes. I can’t be optimistic.”
In the distance, I saw zombies constantly swarming one by one.
And there were also Awakeners who poured their psychic powers on those zombies.
Not just zombie monsters.
Even in the camp that accepted a significant number of survivors, problems were rife. Humphreys was like a ticking time bomb that was ticking away day by day.
The face of Daniel, the leader of the Humphreys, was deeply troubled.

Before going to Pantera.
He instructed me to create a living area in the Survivor Camp and Cheonbubu, which I had received.
And after that, I left it to Seol-hwa and I hardly cared about it.
I decided to check the progress.
Seolhwa and Ignis followed me.
Ignis followed because he wanted to see what kind of world this place was like.
“After all, it’s an apartment again.”
It was an apartment by the river.
“There is a person in the department of heaven who knows the construction business well, and he said that it was a high-end apartment built by a construction company with a fairly good reputation.”
“Pantera’s mansion is great, but that building is even more amazing.”
Ignis said that while admiring the towering high-rise apartments.
Just looking at the exterior, it seemed that way.
That said, it wasn’t a great building to the extent that it would stumble upon Liliana’s mansion, which was plastered with magic.
Hey Ignis, he said, “Don’t you know that there are dozens to hundreds of generations living in that one building?”
The inside of the apartment complex was cleaned so far, so it didn’t look messy.
If you didn’t know, it was well organized to the point that it would just look like a luxury apartment without people.
To be honest, there was nothing like an apartment as a residential space nearby.
“Cleaning the inside is the final step. And I’m just thinking of putting up a barrier to prevent monsters from entering the surroundings.”
While listening to Seolhwa’s briefing, I looked around.
Like a luxury apartment, the landscaping was quite good.
“Is this the place Jia and Chaewon chose?”
It was an apartment building built a little far from the others.
“Yes. We intend to use an entire apartment as the place to stay.”
Not only us.
There were also about 20 women I had rescued from the den of marauders.
It is possible to use one house per person, but wouldn’t it be okay to use the surplus house for a different purpose than storage?
“There is only one thousand divisions. Survivor camps are thought to be between one and two apartments.”
If electricity comes from the magic attribute generator, the elevator will work and there will be no great inconvenience.
“But… There is a problem.”
“Problem?”

They gathered together the officers of the survivor camp and Cheonbubu, who worked together to organize the living quarters.
Snowflake is to my right.
Ignis was standing on the left.
People’s eyes glare at Ignis next to me.
Not only did he look like a foreigner, but he was 180 cm tall, and his outfit was unique, so he couldn’t help but draw attention.
“I think it will be difficult to restore the water supply.”
A senior man with a towel around his neck said to me, as if he had been working until recently.
No matter who could see it, there was a force full of experts in this matter.
I didn’t learn martial arts.
He seemed to be a person from the Heavenly Division.
“Hmm… You think it’s going to be difficult?”
“Yes, I have to bring in water, but the original water intake pipe seems to have been damaged somewhere. I have to restore the water intake pipe, but it is difficult to find and there is no guarantee that only one part is damaged. I wonder if it will be difficult in the current situation…”
He blurs out his words and looks at my eyes.
Seeing that he spoke difficult words, he seemed like an expert with his own knowledge.
It was a story that the water intake pipe had to be repaired to use the waterworks, but it was difficult to find and restore it in a world where monsters roam around like now.
‘Should I dig underground water?’
I thought about that for a moment.
Liliana’s mansion in Pantera came to mind.
For some reason, clean water comes out profusely.
I guess I’ll have to meet Liliana and ask her.
What if a sharp number still doesn’t come out?
‘As expected, groundwater?’
Groundwater digging equipment wasn’t difficult to obtain in the original world, so I wasn’t too worried.
“I’ll figure out the water problem first.”
Everyone made a puzzled face at my words
There was a record of what I had done so far, so there was an atmosphere where everyone was expecting a little bit.
After a rough meeting, they dispersed for work again.
“Ah, Lim Sung-kyung, you have something to tell me, so stay.”
Im Seong-seong was summoned.
He was an ordinary person managing the current camp.
He was also the lieutenant of Seo-Won Jang, the owner of the original survivor camp who was killed by me.
Trusting my back, I was acting as the 3rd person at the Survivor Camp after Seolhwa while being a normal person.
“Yes, please.”
“I’d like you to send me a woman who can drive.”
“You mean a woman who can drive… I understand.”
At my request, Lim Gu-seong made a puzzled face, but he answered without much fuss.
