Sleepman of a Ruined World 190

Chapter 190 – 190. Return

As I rode the electric wheel to the distribution center, I thought about the four women I left behind.

The women agreed, but I don’t know if this is a good thing.

The fire at the water park won’t go out right away, and it’s not a bad idea for the four of them.

That’s why I tried it, but honestly, I don’t know if it will work.

This is the first time since the world went down that I have made a suggestion to someone like this.

That’s not my way. If it were me, I would have taken only Yoon-seo to the main camp and imprisoned the four, and killed the other three.

But I also have to think about the future a little bit.

There is a logistics center, but we don’t know how long it will be maintained.

If the four women from earlier break into the distribution center, I wonder if they will be able to stop her.

Well, since all physical infiltration routes are blocked, it seems like we can somehow prevent it… It’s hard to be sure, though.

Because transparency isn’t useful for nothing… It won’t be easy unless there is detection, and it can be utilized systematically.

In any case, we need a place where we can receive food in a stable and continuous manner.

That’s why they’re thinking of eating that garden or whatever it is.

Because I have no intention of farming myself.

I don’t like it even if it’s just a pastime. I have no intention of living while kneading dirt. I don’t know… My thoughts may change when I get a little older.

I arrived at the logistics center while thinking about this and that.

Donghyun, the invisible person guarding the entrance, called Seunggyu, and he came out and listened to my story.

Seung-gyu shows a strong curiosity about greenhouse rice farming. Of course, it is possible.

There is nothing more important to him than realizing self-sufficiency.

In the truck driven by Seung-gyu, Jinyoung, me, and Minjun, who uses metal painting, set out for the greenhouse.

“But… Is it okay to go by car like this?”

A cautious question from Jinyoung, who is very worried. I know what you feel. It must have been somewhat shocking to Jinyoung, who was secretly hiding.

“Don’t worry. If someone finds it and approaches, it’s actually something to be thankful for.”

He understands what I mean and looks at me with an envious expression. Well, since the skill is to create soju, it is understandable that he makes that expression.

“What is your skill proficiency?”

“Me? I’m the master.”

“Oh? Really? Then you can’t choose the second skill because you don’t have any coins?”

“Yes. Haha.”

“Me too.”

“Me too…”

Seung-gyu and Min-jun, who are driving, also answer awkwardly.

Okay. Time solves the problem of skill, but ultimately it comes down to coins. To learn a useful skill, you need 200,000 or 300,000, but that’s not easy.

There is no way to make money in a short period of time unless you take out a group like me that worked hard to save in one go.

And that is impossible for them.

“There are no people coming near, right?”

“Nothing. It’s been a while since I’ve met an outsider. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

Of course it’s a good thing, but it’s not a good thing for those who need to build strength.

Because peace and strength cannot coexist.

However, I have no intention of giving them a coin shuttle… However, it is not easy to ask people to go out and hunt.

These people are also a problem.

How great would it be if you had an opportunity like this and happened to meet people with 300,000 in hand.

Three people holding 300,000 coins suddenly run out and get hit by a truck.

Then it would be nice if both issues could be resolved.

Well, it’s hard for something like winning the lottery to happen. I’m having a delusion that doesn’t make any sense.

It didn’t take long to get to the apartment with the greenhouse.

Seung-gyu is a pretty good driver and there are no obstacles, so driving a car can move faster than you think.

If you don’t have to worry about being attacked, there is no better means of transportation than a car.

If so, what is your flying skill level?

After arriving at the apartment and seeing the greenhouse, Seung-gyu was quite impressed and looked around and took pictures.

You probably want to apply it to logistics centers as well.

Jinyoung and Minjun also look around to see if they become interested.

This system is certainly a structure that will arouse curiosity even if you are not interested in farming.

Rice farming in a greenhouse. It’s somehow cool.

“Isn’t this enough to harvest two or three times a year?”

“Isn’t that right? I think it’s similar to double or triple cropping in places like Southeast Asia. But will my intelligence be able to handle it? Is it okay to do rice farming since it is irrigated?”

“Well, I’m not an expert either… So I’ll have to study. There are people who do this. Wouldn’t it be possible? But it’s really amazing to see rice growing this winter.”

After looking around, I loaded all the rice piled up onto the truck.

Seung-gyu looks at the growing crops with a sad look.

An expression that seems to want to stay and wait until it grows up and then collect it all.

However, perhaps due to his situation, he takes a regretful step forward. The expression on your face as you get into the truck is quite unpleasant.

While returning to the logistics center, he didn’t meet a single person. Unfortunately.

It would be best if wanderers passed by the logistics center one by one.

No… What are you talking about? The best thing is for them to be self-sufficient without being exposed to external attacks for the rest of their lives.

Seung-gyu says this when he sees me arriving at the logistics center and about to leave right away.

“Are you going to go? Why don’t you take some rice with you? It looks like it’s brown rice because it hasn’t been polished, but you don’t hate it because it’s brown rice, right?”

“That doesn’t matter… It’s heavy. Besides, my backpack is heavy right now. I’ll bring the car later.”

“That’s right. I always take care of yours, so I stop by often.”

“I understand.”

So I left the logistics center and started going back to the bunker.

It’s a bit strange to come out with so much weight and go back so soon… What do you think? Of course, skill mastery is more important.

Even while returning to the bunker, there was not a single human being encountered.

I remembered what Yunseo said. There are at least three more places like gardens or castles.

If so, it makes sense that there are no people.

Did you say Uijeongbu, Namyangju, Suwon, Incheon, Bucheon? If people are being dragged from all corners of Seoul like that, it’s understandable that it’s becoming difficult to meet people.

Rather than starving to death or being attacked by people while searching for food in the city center where you can’t get anything, it might be better to go to a place like that, work comfortably, and receive food.

Because the life of a peasant may be better than a life of beggar. If it were me, I would never do both.

But honestly, if it starts with something like making soju, it will be difficult.

What are you going to do with it? Hmm… What would I do?

Letting his guard down just because he’s empty-handed, he summons Soju and hits him on the head?

Or make a Molotov cocktail and set fire to people’s places? Not bad. I don’t know how to make a Molotov cocktail.

However… No matter how much I think about it, I went a bit too far in creating soju with my skills.

Well, did Jinyoung know that the world would turn out this way? In fact, if it were a world where people didn’t just kill each other, but those who managed to survive worked together to survive, it would have been a pretty good skill. Unlimited soju production. It’s a dream skill for people who like alcohol.

It was just bad luck that things went so drastically.

I think about the camp again.

Will there be any women left when we return to the camp?

When will the fire go out?

In the worst case scenario, the lights have already gone out, all the coins have been picked up, and all the women have left without a single one left?

What… It may be bitter, but the loss is not that great. Of course, that’s why I suggested this.

The best situation is for the women to catch all the guys who went out and stay and wait?

Then we will be able to attack the garden as promised.

Ah. I don’t know. I’ll be able to check it out when I go back later.

Because it wasn’t such a ridiculous suggestion… I hope you accept my offer.

How on earth do people make such unenforceable promises?

Promising something based solely on trust and understanding in a non-binding state? It’s really amazing.

Even though it’s a proposal that won’t hurt you, how can you make a promise that will end up being followed if you make a mistake?

That’s why I don’t understand people going into something like a garden or a castle to work.

You could be exploited as soon as you enter, but no one will save you or sanction you, so how can you trust that and go in?

I don’t understand. How is that possible?

Even in that situation, do you think it is better than the current situation? Is it that dark?

I don’t know because I’ve never been in that situation. Anyway, I don’t understand.

Almost arrived at the bunker. Still peaceful surroundings.

Today is Saturday, so there are four days left until Wednesday morning.

I brought recovery potions and have plenty of coins, so I can learn invisibility. Seunghee and Seah would be disgusted if they had to take the potion again.

As I opened the bunker door and entered, everyone looked surprised, as expected.

The happy, yet surprised expression on his face is a bit funny. And Anna smiled seductively when she saw me.

Wow… Just by looking at the facial expression, it’s sexy.

The events of last night naturally come back to mind. Wow… It’s so good.

“You got here quickly!? Is there any problem?”

Mina asks me with a worried expression. I touched her shoulder once and said,

“No. I reached my goal faster than expected. Furthermore, I made a big statement and left, but I came back quickly.”

Then she carefully put down her backpack.

When I put down my backpack differently than usual, Seunghee and SeAh look at it with curious expressions.

When I opened the backpack and showed them what was inside, the two people looked horrified.

“Ouch!”

“Wow… What is this? Where did you get this?”

As expected, the reaction was fierce. I moved my backpack into the living room and placed the recovery potions on the floor.

“Ugh… I don’t like it!”

“Well… Why are you piling it up here? Really? Starting now?”

“That’s right. I’ll wash up and come out, so get ready. We’ll start right away. I want to become skilled as quickly as possible, so I might make it a little harder.”

“Aaaaah!”

“Ugh.”

Seung-hee is making a fuss and Se-ah is showing an open expression of disgust.

What are you going to do? There is no place for you to run away.

“Do I do it too?”

Mina comes closer to me and asks carefully.

An expression that says you don’t want to do anything. I smiled and said to Mina.

“No. My skill comes first. Let’s do Mina and Anna a little later.”

“Oh. Really? I’m glad.”

“Thank goodness!? You traitor!”

“Why! Just us! Mina does it too!”

I ignored Seunghee and SeAh who were squealing and went in to take a shower.

I’m going to have to do this in the future, but what if I already hate it so much?

And I don’t know why I don’t like it. Isn’t it good to be strong? I don’t mind even saying thank you for doing this… Anyway, gas out.

After washing up, Seung-hee and Se-ah are sitting in the living room with expressions like cows before being slaughtered.

No matter if you like it or not, you have no choice but to do it in the end. Okay. Giving up quickly is good for your mental health.

“Okay. Shall we get started now?”

“Ugh.”

“Ha.”

Seunghee and Seah sigh deeply.

And Mina, who watches from across the river as if in awe, and Anna just smiles.

The two people started preparing to study Korean next to us.
