Chapter 158 – 158. This Guy’s Popularity… A Stalker Followed Him… [The Skeleton’s Aims][2]
“…”
Jang Man-cheol remained silent with a stern expression when Tae-sik Kim asked if he was what the Skeletons had asked for.
“Hmm… I guess my guess was right. It’s me that the Skeletons want.”
It was silence, but under the circumstances it was a sufficient answer.
Therefore, Kim Tae-sik commented that although Jang Man-cheol did not directly admit it, what he said seemed to be correct.
‘If there was something the Skeletons wanted from Daeseong-gu Camp, and they conveyed it to Mancheol, I think Mancheol would have shared it with Yujin as well. Then, Mr. Eugene must have told me some story.’
No matter how much that was expected, it was difficult to say it out loud due to the nature of the matter.
However, Kim Tae-sik was that confident.
‘After the reorganization of the shopping complex, Mancheol began to trust even more the stories I told him about Mana and zombie waves.’
‘It’s a burden. No matter what, I would have definitely told you because I was in a situation where I firmly believed that I was the person who could solve the problem.’
It is not for nothing that Jang Mal-cheol feels dependent on and feels comfortable with Kim Tae-sik.
To soothe his childhood friend’s sister’s heart, Kim Tae-sik answered her phone and came to her through the zombie forest in one go.
In addition, not only the human trust but also the overwhelming display of clearing out the zombies at the shopping complex in just two days also played a role.
Since it was a solid trust based on those, Kim Tae-sik judged that if the skeleton group’s request had been a general request, they would have told him straight away.
‘But there is no request for anything from the Daeseong-gu camp… Meanwhile, the Skeletons are watching me quite closely… So, isn’t that the most likely story?’
The Skeleton Group, which closely identified their opponents who seemed much stronger than them,
However, rather than holding back, the Skeletons began their activities again.
If the intention was to be friendly with Kim Tae-sik, he would have tried to contact him first.
Otherwise, it was enough to be interpreted as an intention to catch Kim Tae-sik.
“Yes… The Skeletons want you to step forward…”
“I guess they even knew that there was an exchange between my brother and our camp…”
Jang Man-cheol, who was silent for a long time, eventually admitted that Kim Tae-sik’s guess was correct.
“First of all, Eugene doesn’t know that fact. Originally, I was the only one who knew about it, but somehow it seems to have caught the attention of some citizen representatives here. “I wonder if there’s a frag…”
“Fortunately, the citizen representatives didn’t know that Eugene’s sister and older brother were dating, so she didn’t seem to have told Eugene’s sister.”
The situation was much more complicated than expected.
It is not just a conflict of whether to save Kim Jun-ho or not.
A selfish discussion was taking place at the Daeseong-gu camp on whether or not Kim Tae-sik, who was clearly an outsider of the camp, should be thrown to the skeleton team.
‘Mancheol must have been tougher than I thought.’
The miserable bottom of the survival camp that we protected without even sparing our lives.
Kim Tae-sik indirectly felt the frustration that Jang Man-cheol felt.
‘Anyway, those kids are bigger than you think, right? It’s great that they were able to figure out Junho’s movements and catch him… But trying to catch me using Daeseong-gu survival status as a tool means that they figured out quite early on that I had interactions with Daeseong-gu survival camp…’
‘And as Mancheol said, they planted spies in the Daeseong-gu survival camp, or at least leaked information separately… Hey… Are they the same bastards who got their heads smashed in an instant so they couldn’t figure out the situation…?’
The style of the Skeleton Group that Kim Tae-sik had heard about was to create an atmosphere of blatant fear, typical of a group of gangsters. However, Kim Tae-sik stuck out his tongue at the style of the skeleton group, which changed into a completely different style after a short dive.
“Okay… Then what do they say about me? “Well, did you say something like let’s meet somewhere or what are the terms of exchange with Junho?”
Afterwards, Kim Tae-sik asked specifically about the skeleton group’s demands.
“That’s so strange, bro… First of all, you expressed your intention that what you want is a brother… But there’s nothing specific about it… I feel like they just threw the topic out there…”
“So, the representatives of ordinary survivors here are becoming more and more imaginative.”
Scratching… Scratching… Scratching… Scratching…
In response to Kim Tae-sik’s question, Jang Man-cheol scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
‘If that’s the case… They’re primarily targeting me… But ultimately, they’re targeting Daeseong-gu Survival Camp…’
Through the information provided by Jang Man-cheol, Kim Tae-sik figured out the intentions of the Skeleton Group.
‘That’s right… Anyway, since I found out that I am friendly with Daeseong-gu Survival Camp… I guess I felt there was no room for negotiation… If I had solidified that line, I would rather target things that are friendly with Daeseong-gu Survival Camp. That’s a good thing…’
Taesik Kim connected himself with the Daeseong-gu Survival Camp, and the puzzle of the Skeleton Group’s recent moves seemed to fit together.
‘If you had attacked me alone… My freedom of action would have increased and it would have been easier for Mancheol or Yujin to help me if the situation were to arise.’
‘But since they attacked Daeseong-gu and made a indirect attack… The general public became self-conscious and became so noisy that their concentration was ruined.’
It was not Kim Tae-sik or Jang Man-cheol that the Skeletons kidnapped Kim Jun-ho and actually touched him.
They were the general public at the Daeseong-gu Survival Center.
This stimulated the anxiety of the overwhelming majority of the opposing camp.
‘The result was that Mancheol’s feet were completely tied up.’
Jang Man-cheol was caught between Kim Tae-sik and Daeseong-gu Survival Camp and was in a situation where he couldn’t do anything.
As a result, Jang Man-cheol not only felt embarrassed, but also found it difficult to step forward, and ultimately his leadership within the camp was shaken.
This meant that the strength of the protective shield protecting Daeseong-gu Survival Camp was weakening.
‘I’m telling you to join this Asari board…’
In most cases, Kim Tae-sik could have stayed in fire mode across the river.
However, if Jang Man-cheol and Jo Yu-jin are caught in the middle and have a hard time, we cannot just ignore that.
Kim Tae-sik’s guess is that the skeleton side seems to be inducing such a composition.
‘It looks like you’re really confident… Sticking with me…’
Sigh…!
Taesik Kim,
Indeed, he was a Bantorai.
In his opinion, the Skeletons seem to think that they have a good chance of winning if they only deal with Kim Tae-sik without the support of others.
When I read that sentiment, the corners of my mouth rose.
“First of all, Mancheol. My brother will visit Daeseong-gu Survival Camp again tomorrow. “Even if you tell Eugene about the situation, I think it’s right to do it face to face.”
“In some ways, you could say that I am a party to the current situation, so I think I should talk to the Skeletons or the ordinary survivors in the Daeseong-gu camp through you.”
So Kim Tae-sik decided to visit Daeseong-gu Survival Camp for the second time.
**********
ㅡPuuuuup!!!
ㅡPuuuuup!!!
Two mana bullets were fired.
-Peruuuuuck!!!
“–Kuuuuu!!”
-Pooooo!!!
“ㅡKkusssss!!!”
Those two mana bullets accurately smashed the heads of two zombies.
“Okay! Nice!!”
Seeing the situation of Manatan being hit, Taesik Kim reacted more violently than usual.
“It’s significant! “It’s much bigger than expected, isn’t it?”
Furthermore, Kim Tae-sik reacted as if he was talking about someone else’s business.
“Dohee, you shoot much better than me. “Even though I barely practiced, I can already hit two mana bullets like that. Wow…”
It was actually someone else’s story.
One step behind was Kim Tae-sik, who was hard at work coaching Yeon Yeon-hee’s Manatan.
“Fuck…”
Even though she received such special praise, what came out of Yeon Yeon-hee’s mouth was a refreshing insult.
“If the bastards of Daeseong-gu Survival Camp fail, I will smash their heads like that…”
Kim Tae-sik promised a second visit to Daeseong-gu Survival Camp through a phone call with Jang Man-cheol.
Under normal circumstances, Kim Tae-sik would have gone alone.
When Yeon-hee Yeon heard that the Skeleton Group was targeting Kim Tae-sik and that the ordinary survivors of Daeseong-gu were trying to protect Kim Tae-sik, Yeon Yeon-hee was shocked.
So he threatened to accompany them, and the two were heading to Daeseong-gu Survival Camp together.
“Great… I feel reassured, Dohee… To be honest, I haven’t had many people clashing with my teeth, but I think I’ll gain strength when I have you by my side.”
Chuck!
Kim Tae-sik showed a harsh attitude towards Yeon Yeon-hee, who fiercely cursed and showed his fighting spirit.
Normally, Kim Tae-sik would also have dissuaded Yeon Yeon-hee from accompanying him.
However, when he saw Yeon Yeon-hee’s eyes turned away, he realized that this was not an appropriate situation.
So, Kim Tae-sik decided to go together and work together as much as possible.
“Are you feeling safe? Yes, my male cub, just trust me. This sister will protect you. “I can’t see another cub making my male lonely, that’s bullshit.”
Yeon Yeon-hee smiled with a cool expression and joked with Kim Tae-sik, who gave him a thumbs up.
‘I can’t let Taesik go through what I went through. ‘I’ll be by your side when you’re lonely.’
Yeon Yeon-hee was bullied in college.
I know very well how mean it is and how lonely it is for the crowd to band together to make someone a scapegoat and ostracize them.
And the man named Kim Tae-sik sympathized with her pain and punished Choi Seong-jun, the awakened tentacle pervert who was the epicenter of the pain.
Yeon-hee Yeon-hee cannot bear to see that precious person suffer the same loneliness that she experienced.
“Haha! There’s no way I’m experiencing loneliness, Dohee! Next to me are you, Yu-jin, and I also have a younger brother named Man-cheol. Anyway, I feel like I did well in my past life after being embraced by a pretty girl like you!”
Chin!
Kim Tae-sik held the shoulder of Yeon Yeon-hee, who was joking.
At first, it was a game that started to appease Yeon Yeon-hee’s anger.
However, it also feels good because it was a bond that I had never experienced in my past life.
Then at that moment
“!!!!!!!”
Kim Tae-sik, who was holding Yeon Yeon-hee’s shoulder, felt a sense of déjà vu.
ㅡSwish!
Kim Tae-sik looked behind him, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
“What? What’s the matter?”
Sigh!
When Kim Tae-sik looked back, Yeon Yeon-hee also looked back.
“…”
Taesik Kim looked behind him in silence for a moment.
“No… I guess it was a mistake…”
Tilt…!
Afterwards, he shook his head slightly.
“But when I actually go and see Eugene’s face, I think I’ll calm down, Taesik. “She has such a healing face.”
“That’s right haha!”
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Afterwards, Kim Tae-sik and Yeon Yeon-hee went to Daeseong-gu Survival Camp again.
Sssss going going really been sooooo…
So let the two of us retrace our steps again.
“Wow… Hero’s senses are quite good… I guess I should pay more attention, right?”
A woman with short black hair who observed Kim Tae-sik and Jo Yu-jin in the shopping complex area lifted her cloaking status from the rooftop of the building where Kim Tae-sik looked back.
