Chapter 108 – 108. Athletic Center 3
Why did I try to save Nayeon by pushing her into limbs?
Why does it hurt me so much to die after being sent to die?
I don’t know my heart either.
Was Nayeon such a precious person to me?
Not even that.
She was just a member of a gang who had been planning to catch and kill her for a long time.
The soft appearance she showed me was just a fake appearance created by fascination.
Didn’t I actually kill Hee-ju with my own hands? Then why did you try to save Nayeon?
And why is it so vain?
Her mind is confused, and she feels irritated and nervous.
But even in that situation, I am killing the fallen men step by step.
I have to do what I have to do… No matter what you think in your head, your body steadily processes the uncertainties around you one by one.
Every time you kill, a message appears saying that coins have arrived, but even when you look at the numbers, it doesn’t enter your mind.
When I saw Hannah lying there, she was dying with a blade stuck in her chest.
When did it happen… Did you stab the man who hit me earlier?
The funny thing is that, unlike Nayeon, I don’t feel any emotions from the dying Hannah.
The weight and meaning of death are different. I know enough, but I feel like I’m being awakened once again.
“Thank you for your hard work. I’m sorry.”
I spoke to her as kindly as I could and freed her from her pain.
An empty sports center. There is no threat now. A place that became a building with no one in it.
No. There were three women on the fourth floor.
I went up to the 4th floor, picked the lock, opened the door, and immediately put the women to sleep.
Three naked women. It looks like livestock, not a person.
I thought about saving him, but I didn’t feel like it.
You can send it to the logistics center, but… I didn’t want to do that. Let’s just assume that everyone here today is dead.
He killed all three women and went on a search.
No one can be felt within a 100 m radius.
I finally feel at ease.
All threats are gone, and Mina will be a little safer now.
“Ha.”
I sat down on a chair that looked soft.
Suddenly, many thoughts swirled and danced in her head.
I’ve done a lot of things, so now I have to justify myself.
I have to come up with a lot of excuses or excuses and justify myself by making them if I don’t have any.
Okay. I tried to deal with either Nayeon or Jeonga.
These were women who were already being ruined. Maintenance costs are also high. These are the women who made the wrong first move in the first place, right?
Hanna just cast a charm to use it. She originally tried to kill me.
All of this is for Mina’s safety.
End of self-rationalization.
Fuck… Is it really over? Is this it?
There must be a more plausible reason. Is there anything? I was right, and it was an unavoidable circumstance… Isn’t there something like that?
“Ha.”
Does not exist. There is no way something like that exists.
It makes no sense to talk about it without mentioning the most important thing.
I’m just trash.
How can it make sense for a scumbag to rationalize after doing so many stupid things?
This is something that has been done ever since the world became like this, and with the addition of charm, the techniques have become a little more vicious.
I just used the charm skill to deceive and toy with something that should have been killed right away.
You were going to kill me in the end.
The method just got a little dirty.
“Ha.”
How many times have you sighed?
In the end, that’s the problem.
Who do you kill, and who do you not? That problem.
Seunghee and Mina. And the people at the distribution center. And Yeji, Minji, Heeju, Nayeon… Differences from them.
The first meeting is a problem. People who start with bad feelings cannot turn back no matter what they do.
Once a rift has been formed in a relationship, no matter what happens, the rift cannot be bridged.
Even charm is not a way to solve it.
This is not a solution unless the charm is applied 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The fake love that was created becomes a mirage and disappears the moment the fascination is released.
You really have to do this damn thing to realize this simple thing.
You idiot.
Everything Nayeon said when she died was true. You idiot and bad bastard. That’s accurate. She was a smart woman after all.
The course of action became clear. At least my cloudy head feels a little clearer.
You can’t be a real asshole anymore. Let’s quickly organize what needs to be organized and forget about it.
If you really want to get a girl, you have to be more cunning or give up.
From now on, you shouldn’t do such idiotic and idiotic things.
The first time was a mistake, but the second time was a result of skill.
Let’s not do amateurish things like this anymore. It’s so ugly.
In the end, the conclusion is this. It’s not like she’s reflecting on what she shouldn’t do, it’s like she’s resolving to do better.
It’s a desirable attitude fit for a truly crazy world.
He is a trashy person who fits perfectly into this trashy world.
Ruler. Finished organizing.
Now stop thinking about useless things again and let’s live a little more crazily in this crazy world.
I went down to the first floor.
An empty building. It looks perfect for someone to move in and live in.
Should I start a fire? Hmm. Done. If someone comes in and lives there, they catch them and kill them again.
Gulp
The sound of a pig interrupting my thoughts.
Ah… There was that.
“What should I do with this? It’s a waste to kill it… Should I take it to the distribution center?”
They kill people at random times, but feel like pigs are a waste. I’m really crazy.
But how do I get this? It’s annoying.
There are three pigs in total.
I will take this opportunity to check whether sleep is involved in animals as well.
I aimed accurately at the pig and used sleep.
The pig immediately fell asleep. Oh… It works? I finally realize this.
It’s not that big, so I think you can lift it and move it.
As long as I have a car, I can take them to the logistics center.
I looked at the cars parked nearby. Are there any cars that can be driven?
Fortunately, these guys had surprisingly many cars. I think it was because there were so many people, and they had to travel far.
Cars, SUVs, trucks… All the car keys were in the car.
This is something I am very thankful for. It saved me a lot of trouble.
Truck… Fortunately, it was Otto. I’m really glad about this too… If it had been manual, I would have hit it.
You won’t accidentally step on the clutch, turn off the engine, and hear the car behind you make a roaring sound, but manual driving feels psychologically repulsive.
If the auto is a bumper car, the manual feels like a space battleship.
It’s a story that people who know how to drive a manual car would scoff at, but I’m sure they did the same at first.
They brought the car to the side of the pig pen and loaded the pigs into the back of the truck.
If the pig wakes up like this, doesn’t it just jump out of the back of the truck? But I don’t want to tape a pig.
Let’s drive carefully. Anyway, since this is my first time driving a truck, I won’t be able to drive that hard.
The pig was heavier than expected.
Plus, it’s annoying to have dirty things on my clothes. Fuck. They’ll just tell you to come and get it. Why am I doing this?
If I stop like this anyway, I’ll end up looking like an asshole, so I have to finish it… Oh, the fucking smell.
The truck started with all three pigs loaded.
The smell is so bad that it doesn’t go away even when I open the window.
While maintaining detection, I roughly estimated the direction and headed toward the logistics center.
Since I don’t have a navigation system, I drive the truck slowly, following a familiar route as much as possible.
But the truck is so fucking noisy… How are these guys driving without detection? I think it will attract all the people around it.
How did these guys live while driving something like this? Gang is perfect too.
I even had to refill my sleep once in the middle, and after many twists and turns, I arrived at the distribution center.
I was afraid that if a car suddenly approached, I would be surprised, so I put my face out and Soju was surprised to see my face.
“No! I was surprised! What’s with the truck all of a sudden!?”
“Why are you standing guard every time I come here? Are you being ostracized or something?”
“What are you talking about? It’s because this is my role. Also, can you please call me by my name instead of always calling me Soju? My name is Seo Jin-young?”
“Okay, if you can remember. Go get the leader.”
“I haven’t radioed yet. He’ll be here soon.”
“Ah. Is radio working now?”
“Yes. I had a bit of trouble getting the antenna from the supermarket.”
Hmm. So, will Seunghee’s walkie-talkie work again? I don’t know how far it is from here to the bunker.
“Are you here? Huh? What is it? What about this truck?”
Seung-gyu comes out after listening to the radio and looks surprised when he sees the truck.
I widened my distance from him and moved away from the electric shock range, then spoke.
“You’ll be even more surprised when you see what’s behind you.”
“What’s behind it… Oh, pigs!? Three of those? Where did they come from? Did they catch them in the wild?”
“No. It’s long, so to speak… Anyway, I picked it up. Can I raise it?”
“I really wanted to raise it, but… I’m so thankful for it.”
“Do you need more chickens?”
“Chickens? Of course. The more chickens, the better. In a world like this, anyone who doesn’t need chickens is crazy.”
“Good. Do you know where the sports center is next to Jang-dong?”
“Well… I don’t know if you put it that way.”
“Miss… It’s hard to explain because I don’t have a map. Do you have a map?”
“A map? Yes, Jinyoung. Can you bring me a map?”
“Yes, brother.”
Jinyoung rushing inside.
“But why the sports center?”
“This pig is also brought from there. There are a lot of chickens in the chicken coop there, so let’s move them on our own.”
“Um… Yeah.”
Seung-gyu didn’t bother to ask if he had killed all the people there.
He is also a person with good sense. I think I probably had a good social life before the world collapsed.
Jinyoung quickly brought a map, and I unfolded the map, showed him the location of the sports center, and handed it to Jinyoung.
“Are you going to keep your distance like that even though I have no intention of harming you?”
“It’s still early. Let’s close the distance slowly.”
When I learn reflexes, then I will be able to go near him without hesitation. Until then, I don’t want to get close.
“Okay, that’s your freedom. So, if you go here, there’s chicken?”
“Yes. There will be more than ten, so go. I will also give you this truck, so you can use it as you wish.”
“You’re giving me this? Then what about you?”
“I have to walk.”
“Oh, my life is really tiring. That’s right. Well, I have your own thoughts, so I won’t stop you. And I’ll be grateful for the truck. I already needed it, so it’s perfect.”
“Then I’ll go. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Are you ready to go already? Just wait a moment, Jinyoung. Go and tell Yujeong. I’ve prepared something for her. Bring it. I’m sorry I keep ordering you.”
“No, this is it. I understand. Furthermore, I’ll come back quickly!”
Jinyoung went inside, and I asked him because I was curious about what he had prepared.
“What are you giving me?”
“You can look forward to it.”
A moment later, Jinyoung came running in a huff, holding something.
They handed me something in an insulated bag and I opened it.
“Chicken?”
“That’s right. I’ve finished all the preparations. Go ahead and eat it, whether it’s grilled or boiled. I didn’t think there would be any seasoning, so I brought those too, so enjoy it.”
“It’s a raw chicken. It’s so… Precious. But can I give you this much? Three?”
“How much are you giving me, and it’s only three chickens?”
“That’s it.”
“Anyway, take it. When I finish eating the MRE, I come and take it. Even if I don’t have anything to do, I often come to hang out.”
“I see. Then, there’s nothing more, right? I’ll go.”
“Okay. Go. Take care.”
“Hyung! Bye!”
It’s a heartwarming scene unlike any other in this world. Enough to make you think, even for a moment, that the world is normal.
By the way, it’s raw chicken… Seunghee will like it. What is your reaction when you see it? Of course, you’ll like it, right?
