Chapter 342 – 342. Good News From Euphoria [Witch Claudia’s Sad Promise][1]
“Big… To be honest, the atmosphere after the rejection wasn’t that good…”
Jang Man-cheol, who heard Kim Tae-sik’s guess, spoke in a cautious tone.
At the after-party after winning the battle against the Icarus zombie, Jang Man-cheol told Kim Tae-sik that the Taewang Metropolitan Awakened Association had been created and that its leader Seong Min-su had come to visit.
The purpose of coming was to join the Apocalypse Survivors Association.
He explained in detail that he refused considering the special situation of the Daeseong-gu Survival Camp Association.
“It was pretty bad. “Mancheol gave me a really good shot.”
Kim Jun-ho added emphasis to Jang Man-cheol’s vague tone.
“Huh? “I gave Seong Min-soo a good punch?”
However, it seemed like this was the first time the parties had heard of each other.
“Taesik cannot be influenced by his older brother and use people as tools. I want to treat you sincerely. You said that. “The moment he heard those words, Seong Min-soo’s expression hardened.”
It was worth it.
At the end of the conversation, Jang Man-cheol almost confessed his faith as a follower of Kim Tae-sik.
Kim Jun-ho, who was watching from the side, began to see things more objectively.
“Okay? Hmm… I was just saying some bullshit like Seong Min-soo said that our camp seems to have become closed due to Tae-sik’s influence.”
As I was listening to Kim Jun-ho, Jang Man-cheol also remembered the situation at the time.
“Kuh… Mancheol, what are you talking about like that? “Hide your face as much as possible at the negotiating table with the other party…”
Kim Tae-sik, who was listening to the two people’s conversation, leaned heavily on the sofa.
Kim Tae-sik did not hear any details regarding the conversation between Seong Min-soo and Jang Man-cheol at the time.
Seong Min-soo suggested that he join the Apocalypse Awakening Association, and he only said that he refused.
Then, he felt a new sense of emotion as he learned about the detailed emotions.
It was a very arrogant expression and posture.
He felt very satisfied that Jang Man-cheol described himself as a person who treats people sincerely.
However, as he was followed, he could not express it openly, so he enjoyed it by pretending to teach his attitude toward negotiation.
“Hmm… Should I have done that too? Was I just too unskilled? “Maybe I should have just kept quiet until my brother came down…”
Jang Man-cheol, a follower of Kim Tae-sik, was a person who really listened to him well.
When Kim Tae-sik, his idol, gave him stern instructions, he quickly became reflective and looked back on his past remarks.
“No, no, that’s enough! “I just said this out of respect for you and to tell you to improve further. That’s enough, Mancheol.”
Sigh…!
Kim Tae-sik literally controlled his follower, Jang Man-cheol.
He adjusted his posture again and gave a skillful compliment.
“Seong Min-soo probably also knew. Anyway, the official leaders here are you, Man-cheol, and Kang Seok-gu. “I am a being that only uses my power in battle, but I have limits when it comes to political influence.”
Afterwards, he gave a psychological analysis of Seong Min-soo’s side.
He began to show off his accumulated political consulting skills as a keyboard warrior.
“So, I thought that once I first get a meaningful answer from you, it would be easier to take control of this area from now on.”
“In fact, it was used as a useful long-term goal in joining the Apocalypse Awakened Association, and if it did not go as planned, it was used as a starting point to divide this side.”
“The specific roadmap for what we are doing now may have been created recently when the Awakened Associations began to emerge, but the information being used appears to have been collected for quite some time.”
“At first glance, I think that the timing, that is, the fact that it came after I left for Seoul, was also an influence. “I’m saying this because they knew I was away.”
However, Taesik Kim was a truly recognizable keyboard warrior in his past life.
This is because he is the one who carried out Ilquito against the friendly people of the large community.
It was Kim Tae-sik who showed off his political and manipulative talents to the fullest.
He also knew from the beginning the existence of Seong Min-su, the official Hidden Awakening of Taewang Metropolitan City.
This is because Seong Min-soo was the person that the camps paid the most attention to when they attempted to organize the area in preparation for the zombie wave.
‘He was a meticulous person… Considering that he didn’t end up joining Jang Man-cheol’s gang… There’s no way he didn’t use his influence to keep tabs on me with that kind of personality…’
The window through which Kim Tae-sik was able to obtain some information regarding Seong Min-soo was Kang Seok-gu.
Because there was a confrontation between the best outlaw camp in Taewang Metropolitan City and the best awakened camp, Kang Seok-gu learned a lot about Seong Min-su’s tendencies and how to lead the group.
However, when preparing for the zombie wave, the story about Sung Min-soo that I heard from Kang Seok-gu was pushed out of the priority list because there was so much work to do.
“Did you know that our camp was noisy in the beginning?”
“Wouldn’t you have known? “I think I came here with confidence based on those things.”
“Anyway, the Daeseong-gu Survival Camp and the bunker are separate structures, so if you tamper with them, cracks may occur again.”
Kim Jun-ho mentioned the crazy dog incident where Kim Tae-sik exposed his erection to the world.
In the past, I would have been a bit embarrassed,
However, since he had now openly formed a harem, he reacted indifferently.
“So, that’s what Taesik said, Mancheol. Seong Min-soo wanted to negotiate with the Apocalypse Awakened Association while being the head of the Taewang Metropolitan City Unified Awakened Association, which included our camp. “I thought you were an ordinary awakened person anyway and could just press it with your own strength.”
“Oh fuck, thinking like that makes me angry? My basic physical strength is now B level? “The tenacity and awakened mace power are class A!!!”
After hearing Kim Tae-sik’s answer, Kim Jun-ho roughly summarized the situation to Jang Man-cheol next to him.
Simple King Jang Man-cheol was extremely sarcastic and expressed his anger.
“That was the primary goal, and if it failed, what Seong Min-soo can think about is the isolation of our Daeseong-gu Survival Camp, right Taesik? Are you considering the possibility that such a video was filmed for that purpose?”
Leaving behind Jang Man-cheol, who was venting his anger, Kim Jun-ho inferred another purpose other than the simple spying purpose mentioned by Kim Tae-sik.
“Yes. Anyway, from Seong Min-soo’s point of view, if they can’t absorb us, they must be in the top position in the eyes of the outside world to be able to walk into the future.”
“But that doesn’t mean they won’t take the risk of fighting us directly, and I think they wanted to induce division and collapse within us by completely isolating us.”
“By fixing the image as a survival camp that does not join the Apocalypse Awakening Association, which has a good image and has become a trend, a survival camp that is suspected and criticized online, and a survival camp that has many suspicious aspects.”
It is unknown whether the video related to the Daeseong-gu Survival Camp battle currently circulating online was actually filmed by Seong Min-soo.
However, in one way or another, Seong Min-su’s side seemed to have sufficient background to set up a fishing ground in the future.
And for those who want to set up a fishing net
People’s perception of the Daeseong-gu Survival Camp is currently circulating online.
I concluded that it was a very easy target.
“Sniff… As the camp gets bigger and bigger, we can’t ignore the general workforce… But as time goes by, the impact will become more and more severe, bro…”
Scratching…! Scratching…! Scratching…! Scratching…!
After listening to Kim Tae-sik and Kim Jun-ho, Jang Man-cheol scratched his head in embarrassment.
This is because Jang Man-cheol, who is in charge of the actual administration of the Daeseong-gu Survival Camp Association, clearly felt the problems of being isolated.
“You can’t just leave children unattended forever… You have to make them study and give them some pastimes to do…”
The ultimate survival is prosperity.
For prosperity to be achieved, daily life must gradually recover.
Within the community, various things happen, jobs exist, and synergy must occur between members.
So recently, Daeseong-gu Survival Camp also accepted refugees under certain standards.
In anticipation of this happening in the future, Kim Tae-sik was clearing out the vacated site with Gangwon-do hunters.
However, as Kim Tae-sik said, when the image of Daeseong-gu Survival Camp deteriorates,
There will be no more influx, and there is a risk that people who were there will actually leave.
“But in the end, the foundation that supports our survival camp is special… That is why it is too risky to form an alliance with Seong Min-soo and join the Apocalypse Awakened Association…”
It was thanks to this overwhelming ability derived from Hero Kim Tae-sik that a relatively small survival camp like Daeseong-gu Survival Camp was already able to achieve this.
If it were revealed very publicly and condemned by the public, it was obvious that something close to a witch hunt would occur.
“Yes, the risk is high.”
Kim Tae-sik accepted Jang Man-cheol’s concerns.
“But that’s just the story as it stands now. If we achieve something even greater than this, the leadership will change…”
If Yeon-hee Yeon-hee became Kim Tae-sik’s harem designer
Kim Tae-sik was already becoming the designer of a new world imbued with the thoughts of the goddess.
*********
“I like it… It’s a different feeling of comfort than the bunker…”
Kim Tae-sik lay sprawled out and complained of extreme comfort.
Kim Tae-sik, who had used his body and mind while clearing the lot, fighting off zombies, and discussing countermeasures for external situations, was taking a proper rest.
Haha!! “Simply lying down like that is not the happiness here!”
The place where he was located was none other than Claudia’s Yongsan Tree Fruit House.
“You have to drink this fragrant tea~ Drinking tea and resting is the proper completion~!”
Just like that, Kim Tae-sik was lying down on the sofa in the treehouse.
Claudia was serving tea for him.
“Ugh… Thank you Claudia…”
Cheok…!
Kim Tae-sik accepted the teacup handed to him by Claudia with an air of arrogance.
“And what’s going on, Claudia? “He said he had very happy news and that he had something to tell me.”
Claudia has been spending most of her time doing research at the tree fruit shop these days.
Then, when it’s time to sleep, I return to the bunker.
However, Claudia called Kim Tae-sik, saying that she had good news that could not wait until dinner time.
“So… There was news from Euphoria?”
Right…!
Claudia sat on the chair next to the sofa.
Holding a teacup neatly in both hands, she seemed quite flushed and somewhat nervous.
“Athena graduated from the Imperial School this time…”
Athena, the barbarian girl who gave Claudia a new goal during her wandering days,
There was good news from that girl.
