## Chapter 90 – Pursuit
“I’m back.”
Han Do-gyun, who had been dozing in the shade, rushed to Ryusia upon her return.
“Sia, where have you been? Why are you so late?”
“Sorry. A school of fish appeared last night, and I was chasing after them like crazy… I ended up going quite far. So I rushed back, but I was still late.”
“Don’t push yourself next time, Sia.”
“Okay, I won’t.”
Ryusia then handed over her backpack, which was filled with fruits and drinks.
“This much? And even ice?”
The others gathered around, one by one, at the mention of ice.
“I really caught a lot. That’s why they gave me so much. Enough talk, let’s eat before the ice melts.”
The men smiled contentedly.
Yu Hana did as well.
“Thanks for the food, Sia.”
“You’re welcome.”
Each person took their favorite drink and poured it into a disposable ice cup.
The cool ice made them feel like they were truly alive.
“Wow. The world looks so different now. Sia, you’re the best.”
“You’re a hero, a hero.”
The kids gave her thumbs up.
Of course, not everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves.
Evelyn and Oh Se-young, who knew the inside story, couldn’t bring themselves to smile.
She had been gone for a whole day.
They didn’t even want to imagine how much she had panted under that man.
“Yo, Evelyn. What’s wrong? Why aren’t you eating?”
“Se-young, here, you eat too.”
Knowing that the food was earned by selling her body, they couldn’t easily reach for it.
They even felt instinctively that they shouldn’t eat it.
However, when Yu Hana and Oh Se-jun each offered them a drink, they couldn’t refuse and accepted it.
Of course, the moment they took a sip, all their worries vanished.
“Evelyn, you were so against it, but you’re drinking it so well. Hehe.”
“Se-young, is it good?”
Good? More than that. A cup of drink with ice floating in it brought the two to a state of enlightenment.
It wasn’t a joke; they felt like they were bursting with energy they didn’t even have before.
Everyone was happily enjoying the cool drinks that Ryusia had brought when one person quietly watched her.
‘Something’s fishy.’
Lee Min-hyuk stroked his chin.
He had been tall and handsome since he was young.
Thanks to his athletic, outgoing, and sociable personality, he was popular, and especially because he was of mixed race, almost like a foreigner, he often received confessions from girls.
So he could date and sleep with many women, regardless of whether they were daughters of wealthy families or commoners.
His gut was telling him that Ryusia was acting strange.
‘It’s not just her. The overall atmosphere of the girls has been weird lately.’
There was a slightly chaotic feeling.
The female gender itself always caused such an atmosphere, but this time it was a little different.
Usually, Yu Hana or Evelyn created that atmosphere, but this time they were quiet.
‘Yu Hana just seems tired, and Evelyn seems to be hiding something.’
Hmm. What could it be?
What are they hiding?
‘I can’t let this go. I need to investigate.’
So, that night, as he was heading into the forest with the group, Lee Min-hyuk said to Kim Jae-jun,
“Jae-jun.”
“I’m listening.”
“Can I skip today?”
“Are you not feeling well?”
“Yeah, I’m not in good shape. I’ll take a day off.”
Kim Jae-jun looked at Han Do-gyun and Oh Se-jun, and they nodded in agreement.
Thanks to Oh Se-jun’s [Communion] ability, hunting itself wasn’t difficult at all.
Finding the prey and preparing it after catching it was just annoying.
Even so, they had plenty of time, and after hunting briefly at night, they focused on the main quest all night long.
Even if Lee Min-hyuk was gone for a day, there would be no problem with meal preparation.
“Alright, take a day off.”
“Thanks, guys.”
As they headed to the hunting grounds, Lee Min-hyuk, who had returned to the settlement alone, quietly watched the other classmates.
‘Huh? Ryusia is going somewhere?’
She pretended to go to the bathroom, then slipped away towards Jung Seo-hee’s group.
‘I’m getting a feeling. Smells like cheating.’
Having slept with many women and having stolen other men’s women countless times, Lee Min-hyuk immediately sensed it.
This was definitely a cheating scene.
Sure enough, Ryusia walked up to Jung Woo-jin, hesitated, and then hugged him.
The two soon moved away from the others, found a spot on the beach, and began to kiss, suck, and rub their genitals together.
“Ah, uhn. Heuh. Haaah.”
Lee Min-hyuk, who had secretly followed them through the forest and witnessed the scene, widened his eyes.
‘Holy shit, no way. Is this real? That ice queen Ryusia is riding him and shaking her ass? Making such vulgar moans?’
It was clear that she had done it more than once or twice.
Lee Min-hyuk immediately felt his dick swell with power.
‘This is awesome. If I play my cards right, I can get some.’
He had been looking for an opportunity to sleep with the girls in his class.
Ever since he was a freshman in high school.
Of course, during his school days, the influence of each family’s background meant it remained just a fantasy in his head, but now it was different.
This place was a wasteland.
A world different from Earth.
It was a barren land with no laws or family influence.
There would be no problem if he laid his hands on the girls in his class here.
‘But I was worried about what to do because I could get fucked over if I messed with the wrong one, but to think this opportunity would come.’
Lee Min-hyuk grinned.
‘I’ll threaten to tell Han Do-gyun and make her give it up.’
His head was filled with plans to knock Ryusia down and sleep with her.
‘First, I’ll have her suck my dick with all her heart. Then I’ll shoot a few loads right inside her pussy.’
Lee Min-hyuk’s dick was already so swollen that it was hard to control at the thought of sleeping with Ryusia.
He didn’t care that she was Han Do-gyun’s girlfriend.
Lee Min-hyuk was the kind of guy who would climb on top of Kim Jae-jun’s fiancée, Yu Hana, and sleep with her if the opportunity arose.
‘They just started, so they’ll probably be done in an hour or two, right? I’ll wait here patiently and approach her when she’s done and going back.’
He was watching the two lovers’ love affair in the darkness while having such lewd thoughts when suddenly,
Thud.
A dull sensation was felt on the back of his head.
‘Huh…?’
Thud, thud, thud.
His reason immediately snapped.
When he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, the dim sky had disappeared, and the dawn sky was faintly brightening.
And he heard a whistling sound.
‘What is it?’
He couldn’t understand.
He had clearly witnessed Ryusia’s affair and was waiting at the edge of the forest to threaten her and sleep with her when she returned…
‘Why am I lying here?’
To be exact, he was lying down, but he wasn’t still.
His body was moving little by little.
“Keuh.”
As he regained his senses, his head throbbed, and sensation returned to his entire body. The back of his head was aching, and the pain in his back and ankles was severe.
Lee Min-hyuk tried to lift his head to check his condition and soon realized that he was lying on a sled.
With his whole body tightly bound with ropes.
Creak, creak, creak.
And someone was pulling him from the front.
A rope was in her grasp, and the rope was connected to his ankles.
“Hmm hmm~”
The whistling sound was coming from the woman.
It was unbelievable.
A woman was pulling his 184cm body with just one hand.
‘No, that’s not the point, damn it. I need to get out of here now.’
On the opposite side of the woman’s rope-holding hand, there was a blood-stained police baton.
It was obvious whose blood it was.
Lee Min-hyuk desperately struggled. But even with his athletic strength, he couldn’t untie the ropes binding his body.
“Hmm?”
Wriggle, wriggle.
“Heh. You’re awake, honey?”
“!!”
Steward…ess?
Why is this woman here? Wasn’t she dead?
“Just lie still. I’ll wake you up when we get there. Rest well until then.”
“Mmph! Mmmph!”
“Yeah, I love you too. I want to share our love right now too, but we can’t because there might be intruders here.”
“Heeeuuuh!”
“Let’s go somewhere where no one else is and share the love we couldn’t share with each other. You can wait that long, right, honey?”
The woman then raised the police baton high.
Lee Min-hyuk shook his head from side to side, telling her not to, as he saw the black club and the woman’s eyes above his head.
“Mmph! Heeeuuuh!”
“Hehe. I love you too, honey. So let’s just wait a little longer, okay?”
The police baton moved. It moved with a flash, leaving a black trail.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The last thing Lee Min-hyuk saw in his fading consciousness was Lee Hyun-ji, smiling grotesquely and eerily.
Her pussy was dripping with wetness, her juices dripping down.
“Oop. Well, since our honey is asleep, shall we move again?”
In the black world, the creak-creak sound was heard again.
Followed by a cheerful whistling sound.
“Hmm hmm~”
***
Lee Min-hyuk had gone missing.
“I will begin the search.”
The second disappearance.
Kim Jae-jun took the lead in the search for Lee Min-hyuk.
“I believe this incident and the Kim Tae-hoon case are the work of the same person.”
“Jae-jun, does that mean you think Kim Tae-hoon was murdered?”
“That’s what I think.”
The first time could be a coincidence, but not the second time.
There’s a saying, isn’t there?
The first meeting is a coincidence, the second is inevitable, and the third is destiny.
It was already approaching inevitability.
He judged that it was too much to dismiss it as mere luck.
“He’s probably just slacking off somewhere because he doesn’t want to work.”
“He always wandered around and didn’t work whenever he had the chance.”
Some of the girls expressed skeptical opinions, citing his usual behavior.
But I, who knew who the culprit was, highly valued Kim Jae-jun’s judgment.
His judgment was accurate.
But only one thing, unlike last time, he didn’t seem to know that there was an accomplice this time.
‘I wonder if Lee Min-hyuk was taken away safely.’
That accomplice was me.
The night before, for some reason, I felt a stinging gaze.
It’s not that I have any special intuition, but I periodically activate [Danger Detection] for safety, and I suddenly saw that someone was constantly spying on me and the girls in my class.
+
[Danger Detection]
Grade: Legendary
Description: Displays danger elements in color. Consumes stamina when activated.
-〉 (Special Ability) Displays the sensory range of creatures.
+
The special ability I got after completing all the enhancements.
Display of sensory range.
The range of vision, hearing, and smell of creatures was displayed on the floor as a carpet, and from yesterday, I saw that someone was frantically looking at me and the girls in my class.
After confirming that the target was Lee Min-hyuk, I sensed it.
‘He smelled something.’
Actually, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
He goes over to that group every day to get his dick sucked, so it would be stranger if the men living with him didn’t notice.
‘Of course, it’s not as easy as you think to check that out when you’re exhausted. And the girls are wearing masks and acting thoroughly.’
But Lee Min-hyuk is different.
He’s an expert when it comes to women. I thought he would notice someday.
And as expected, Lee Min-hyuk became suspicious and pretended to go hunting but returned.
After confirming his return with [Danger Detection], I made a decision.
To throw him to the hunting dog as food.
[Would you like to use ‘Note’?]
[Note has been delivered.]
I called the hunting dog, saying it was time to eat, and held up my smartphone high to lure the prey.
Then Ryusia came to me with a blunt face and grumbled.
“…What now.”
“You know why, don’t you?”
“You’re not satisfied even after doing that much yesterday?”
“I can’t help it. What can I do if I want to do it with our Sia again?”
“…….”
I took Ryusia, who was hesitating and hugging me gently, to a secluded place.
And my hunting dog didn’t miss Lee Min-hyuk, who was alone and separated from the group.
Lee Hyun-ji, who had finished hunting in an instant, disappeared leisurely with her prey.
It seemed that she had erased even the traces while moving, and when I looked around the beach early in the morning, there was not a single sled mark left.
She was a truly thorough woman.
‘Now there are three men left.’
Kim Jae-jun, Han Do-gyun, Oh Se-jun.
I don’t know how long they can last.
The hunting dog is full right now, so it’s not dangerous… but I know revenge well, and that period will never be long.
Revenge is like thirst.
If you let it go in vain, you’ll be comfortable, but if you don’t, every day will be nerve-wracking.
So the hunting dog will soon return.
To drink even the blood of the remaining prey.
To quench her burning thirst.
And now there was a being who was burning with new revenge.
“No matter what anyone says, I will catch this culprit. Anyone who doesn’t want to come doesn’t have to.”
Like the saying that revenge breeds revenge, Kim Jae-jun was burning with enthusiasm.
And this was an opportunity.
“I’ll pass.”
“Me too.”
The women all slipped away.
From the start, Lee Min-hyuk was not popular with the girls in our class. Rather, he was someone they avoided.
They knew too well what kind of man he was and how he usually looked at them.
“I will go with you.”
“Me too.”
The men all decided to go together.
Regardless of whether they liked or disliked Lee Min-hyuk right now, they needed even one more person to survive in this wilderness.
“Seo-hee and I will help too.”
And I also expressed my intention to participate.
“Why you…?”
“I can’t just see it as someone else’s problem.”
“Thank you.”
Kim Jae-jun made a surprised expression when I expressed my intention to help, but he accepted it with joy.
In this way, a search team consisting of four men and Jung Seo-hee was formed.
Jung Seo-hee whispered in my ear.
“Woo-jin, but do we really need to step up?”
Actually, there was no reason for us to step up.
It might have been better not to participate.
No matter how long the search took, the girls could be easily fucked while the men were away.
But I was curious.
‘He seems so confident.’
Kim Jae-jun, who was declaring his ambition to solve Lee Min-hyuk’s disappearance, was overflowing with confidence.
I was curious how he would find the hunting dog who had erased even the traces on the sandy beach.
So I was watching to see what he would do, and he showed a truly amazing method.
“A wild boar?”
Oh Se-jun appeared, dragging a wild boar.
He had used his [Communion] ability.
‘He managed to find a wild boar. No, maybe he found it easily because there are more of them than I thought.’
When you rest at the edge of the forest during the day, you can often see wild boars. That means there are many of them.
‘Snakes must be dying just as much.’
I don’t know who put the wild boars on the island, but the island’s ecosystem was definitely changing.
“How are you going to find him with a wild boar?”
Jung Seo-hee asked curiously.
Oh Se-jun shook Lee Min-hyuk’s clothes in front of the wild boar’s nose and answered.
“Wild boars have a better sense of smell than dogs. They have about 35% more olfactory genes than dogs.”
The wild boar, which had smelled Lee Min-hyuk’s scent, began to move. It was not a joke; it moved in the direction that Lee Hyun-ji had gone.
It accurately pinpointed the point where she had succeeded in hunting the day before.
‘If this goes on, she’ll be caught soon.’
There was no hesitation in the wild boar’s actions.
It stopped from time to time, but when Oh Se-jun shook Lee Min-hyuk’s clothes again, it grunted and moved forward without hesitation.
But my hunting dog was smarter than I thought. The wild boar suddenly went to the sea and stopped abruptly.
“I don’t see any torn clothes like with Kim Tae-hoon.”
Han Do-gyun, who had quickly looked around, said.
In other words, the body was not disposed of in the sea.
Then why did the wild boar stop here? Oh Se-jun clicked his tongue.
“It seems they washed Min-hyuk’s body with seawater.”
In short, to remove the smell.
I had never told Lee Hyun-ji about the others’ abilities, but Lee Hyun-ji, who had followed them every night, must have already figured out Oh Se-jun’s [Communion].
Even the fact that he could freely control animals.
‘I missed this. If they erased the smell of sweat and body odor with seawater, it would be difficult to continue the pursuit.’
Of course, if they steadily searched the area and worked hard, they might be able to resume the pursuit somehow…
But the sun was too hot.
And they didn’t have enough food.
“Jae-jun. What do you want to do? I can’t go on.”
Oh Se-jun seemed to have made the same judgment as me and subtly expressed his opinion to Kim Jae-jun.
But Kim Jae-jun shook his head.
“No, I’m going even if it takes time.”
“In this heat? What about food?”
“We’ll move at night if it’s too hot, and I’ll figure out the food somehow.”
Kim Jae-jun then handed me another ring.
[Reflection de Gardier Ring]
[Value: ₩127,000,000]
[Cash Payment: ₩127,000,000]
The moment a ring worth over 100 million won came into my hand.
‘Haha.’
This was why I participated in the search team.
I thought that Kim Jae-jun, who was blinded by revenge, would continue the search no matter what.
“With that much, I can get four times the food I got last time, right?”
“Of course.”
“Since the situation is like this, I’ll put the amount on hold and eat little by little.”
“Do as you please.”
And so the search began.
Actually, the search was just the wild boar and Oh Se-jun suffering alone.
That’s why Kim Jae-jun actively pushed food to the boar and Oh Se-jun.
His eyes were burning like fire.
‘Kim Tae-hoon and Kim Jae-jun were related by blood, but they also grew up together since they were young.’
Perhaps that’s why Kim Jae-jun was pouring all his energy into digging into this case and finding the culprit.
He was convinced that if he could just find Lee Min-hyuk, he could point out the culprit and even avenge Kim Tae-hoon.
Thanks to that, my pockets were quickly swelling.
[Sold ‘Trinity Ruman Solitaire’.]
[Obtained ₩112,100,000 in cash.]
[Sold ‘Tivani D Bracelet’.]
[Obtained ₩65,100,000 in cash.]
‘It’s swelling up so fast.’
Our pig had a really good appetite. It ate an enormous amount.
Of course, it was also a problem that I was ripping off the price of the items by 1,000 times.
‘But what can I do? I’m the only one who can provide food on the spot right now.’
There was only sand around, and there was no food to farm on the ground.
Even if there was, another wild boar had already dug it up.
But our rich young master still had jewels hanging all over his body and didn’t care about that much consumption.
He was a truly welcome VVIP customer.
[Sold ‘Trinity Ring’.]
[Obtained ₩35,200,000 in cash.]
In fact, the ‘Trinity Ring’ was the ring that Kim Jae-jun had sold to me a while ago.
For reference, he never wore the same accessories.
In other words, that meant that Yu Hana had created the ring with [Origin].
‘It’s a goose that lays golden eggs. If I do well, I can earn 30 million won every day?’
I was excited and working hard when a notification appeared in front of my eyes.
[A sudden event has occurred.]
We, who were walking behind the wild boar, all stopped and stared at the air.
[A heat wave will begin now.]
[A quest has been created.]
+
[Survive the Heat Wave]
Description: Survive the heat wave for 30 days.
Life Allowance: Quest rewards are increased 5 times during the heat wave period.
Reward: ???
+
Heat wave? A heat wave?
“Hmm?”
Jung Seo-hee, who was not a player, expressed her doubts when everyone suddenly stopped moving.
But soon she also sensed the change.
Not with the artificial notification of a quest, but with her whole body.
“I suddenly feel like the sun has gotten incredibly hot.”
##
Could it be just the sun?
The air has become incredibly humid.
Heat haze, never seen before, rose fiercely above the coastline.
It was so humid and hot that I felt breathless.
My high stamina stat prevented me from having difficulty breathing, but unlike me, the others were definitely not in good condition.
Even Han Do-kyun, who had resistance to heat, was panting and sweating profusely.
So, how could the others be doing any better?
“Guys… it’s not just me having trouble breathing right now, right?”
“To the shade. Let’s get to the shade immediately.”
In the end, the search became a washout.
With this level of heat, the temperature wouldn’t drop easily even after the sun went down.
‘Lucky break. Is the sky cheering for Lee Hyun-ji’s revenge?’
How could something like this happen at this exact moment…
Conversely, it could be said that Lee Min-hyuk was abandoned by the heavens.
Terrible for him, indeed.
“…Let’s go back.”
Eventually, Kim Jae-joon, panting from the terrible heat, declared that he was going back.
No one voiced any opposition to that.
It was truly murderous heat.
“We have to endure this… for 30 days?”
Expressions filled with despair.
The children couldn’t even manage a self-deprecating smile in an environment that felt like being inside a boiling pot.
But only I was smiling brightly.
It wasn’t just because I had overflowing stamina.
‘Sweet. So, it’s 5x rewards from now on?’
I wasn’t making enough points anyway, so this is perfect.
Let’s sweep up points for 30 days.
