Chapter 249 – 249. Trust 2
“Sleep. Time to draw.”
Four bewildered gazes looking at me.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you know how to draw?”
“No… What the hell…”
Seunggyu tried to say something, but I cut him off and said.
“There were not 30 but 50 of them that touched the distribution center. And they all died here. In the end, these four are the coins of 50 people. I don’t know how many coins they ate while fighting. So. It’s sad that the coins can’t be transferred.”
An expression that says he heard and understood what I said. But that doesn’t mean the current situation will be easily accepted.
50 dogs. These guys have been bothering me for over a week. Those guys were wiped out in less than an hour.
I may have gone a little too extreme, but in fact, this is a predetermined result.
There’s no way these guys can attack me. In particular, if you are flying with invisibility, you cannot use it even if there is an area skill invalidation.
If you hit the floor, all the skills of people within that radius will be released, but there’s no way you’ll get hit by something like that.
Moreover, now, when there is a one-to-one majority, there are many cases where the majority is at a disadvantage.
Because wide-area skills do not avoid allies.
The same goes for me.
If you want to catch me, you have no choice but to block me within range with an area-of-effect skill or hit me with a physical attack, but when I’m fighting multiple people, I don’t have to worry about area-of-effect skills.
Compatibility and complementing weaknesses. There is no reason for me to lose if I fight with people who don’t care about such things.
Unless you make a mistake or accidentally get caught.
“Who do you want to play first? Rock, paper, scissors?”
“Let me do it first.”
“Oh. As expected, Seung-gyu. Sleep.”
When I held out the machete, Seung-gyu calmly accepted it.
Then, without hesitation, I approached the dog.
He was originally a person who developed a tolerance for killing people.
Moreover, the arm holding the machete is swollen, as if he did not take a break from strength training while doing farm work.
“Inhale.”
Seung-gyu cleanly slit his throat.
Light explodes and the coin is sucked into Seung-gyu.
“How much?”
“280,000…”
“Oh. That’s cool. How many guns do you have?”
“About 320,000.”
“Hey. Then you can learn a skill worth 300,000. Congratulations. Next?”
Seunggyu looks bewildered. I guess so. The coin of 280,000 is not the child’s name.
But did these bastards have more coins than they thought? It’s not easy for this many people to have a lot of coins.
Damn. I’d like to grab one and dig up some information, but there’s no one who’s talking about it.
“Brother.”
“Huh…?”
“Sister-in-law. Do you know how to fold a dog?”
“Uh… No. I’ll only speak Korean and English.”
“It’s a shame. Isn’t there anyone at the center who knows how to play Chinese?”
“Well, I don’t know. I’ve never checked anything like that.”
Tsk. Done. It’s hard to drag Sehee here anyway.
Even if I kill these squirming bastards, I wonder where they come out. Ugh. Fuck.
“Who’s next? Is Jinyoung going to do it for you?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Go.”
Jinyoung holding a machete and striking it down with all his might. The dog died at once and became light and coin.
“Nice shot, boss. How much is it?”
“Gasp.”
“Why?”
“4…420,000.”
“Wow. That’s amazing. How much did these crazy bastards have? How much did Seung-gyu get? 280,000?”
“Uh…”
“Hey. 700,000 already? Hey. Minjun and Donghyun should do it quickly too.”
Minjun immediately picked up the machete and struck it down.
Even though I failed to kill him with one hit, I didn’t panic and just hit him right away.
Jjanggae dies and Minjun also opens his eyes wide.
“How much are you?”
“220,000…”
“Oh. It’s pretty good. How long do you have?”
“I… I only had about 10,000.”
“Oh. Really? What do you think? Next Donghyun? Go.”
Donghyun also finished talking right away and her eyes widened.
“And you?”
“Only 34… Hehe.”
“Oh, that’s great. I’m just a little disappointed with Minjun.”
“This is unfortunate… 220,000?”
I shrugged my shoulders and looked at Seunggyu.
“Skills. What are you going to learn?”
“Well, I’ll have to think about it. I don’t know when I’ll get it again, so why can’t I just make a decision?”
“Let’s go back first. I have something to give you.”
“Okay.”
I returned to the logistics center with everyone.
I’m already tired, but the excitement of catching those bastards has cooled off, so I feel tired.
I bought one of the recovery potions and drank it all at once, and I seemed to feel a little better… The feeling of fatigue that feels like scratching your head does not go away.
Phew. It’s not easy either.
I feel like I want to hurry up and fall asleep, but I hold on for now.
You can’t make noises just because you haven’t slept for a day.
A place like a conference room in a logistics center.
And me and the four of us sitting there.
I took out the paper with the skill table written on it and gave it to Seunggyu.
“This is… Huh…”
“Something like this will motivate you to improve your skills, right? But it won’t be easy to earn coins… So it’s something in the distant future. Or there may be no opportunity at all.”
“That’s right… I don’t.”
Seunggyu can’t take his eyes off the paper.
Jinyoung, Minjun, and Donghyun also came behind Seunggyu and started looking at the paper.
“Don’t you have a copier? If this is an office, there should be at least one.”
“Ah. I see. I’ll come back.”
“I’ll come back.”
Jinyoung takes the paper and runs over.
What’s so good about it? But… You must be excited to learn skills.
Not long after, Jinyoung came back, and she was busy looking at everyone’s skills with her face buried in the paper.
Jinyoung is the one who shows the most passion.
Maybe it’s because he’s been using skills like creating soju, but his eyes roll when he gets a skill he can choose.
“By any chance… Are there any skills you recommend?”
Seung-gyu, who had been looking at the paper for a while, turned to me and asked.
“There are many recommended skills. No matter how many times you learn them, they are not enough.”
“Hmm… I see. There are so many things that look good.”
“The first thing I can tell you is that you are incredibly late.”
Everyone looks at me wondering what I’m talking about.
“The guys who are considered the best these days have four, almost five skills.”
“Huh…”
Seung-gyu’s lament mixed with sorrow.
“And you can never catch up with them. Even if you go out like crazy and kill people on a fake day, you can’t beat physical time. In the end, you can never catch up with those guys.”
Everyone’s mood becomes slightly heavier after hearing my brutally realistic words.
“But why should I do that?”
“Huh?”
“Their situation is completely different from yours. Guys who go around killing people have a lot to worry about. But here, it’s different. It’s about protection. There are many skills that are needed, and their effectiveness varies greatly. So there’s no need to learn them all. Besides, we can join forces here.”
Everyone seems to have understood what I said to some extent.
However, even if you say it this way, there are some skills that cannot be helped.
Therefore, no matter how much hope we give them, perfect defense is impossible.
I felt a little sick knowing that. That can’t be helped. It’s purely luck.
“I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s a Meteor-like skill. You know what it is just by looking at the name, right? If some crazy guy passes by and drops one of those here, it’s over. Do you understand?”
“That’s right…”
“Those bastards have been trying to invade here for a week, right? But why did they stop them?”
“Because the defenses here are strong?”
Minjun spoke, but I didn’t react at all.
He became embarrassed and closed his mouth, and I continued talking.
“It’s because there’s no one with more than four skills. Doesn’t that Tier 4 skill have a phase out?”
“Yes.”
“If you have that, you can just break through a wall like this. No. If those guys only had the basic explosion skill, wouldn’t they have been able to survive like this?”
“An explosion? There was an explosion?”
“There was an explosion?”
“Uh, I tried to use that to break the wooden wall and come in. Of course, I made up for it right away with growth and plant control.”
“Really? That’s a good thing. Anyway, I can’t make a perfect defense. I feel like…”
Okay. To be honest, if you want to increase their chances of survival, it’s better to send them to a remote mountainous area.
Now that there is a fence, there is no need for these people to be this close.
Besides, I have a flight anyway, so I can go back and forth as much as I want.
“What do you think?”
“I want to send it to the countryside, where few people come. A place where people don’t usually come. A place where there were few people even before the world collapsed. A place where a crazy person like me can’t accidentally find it while passing by.”
“Uhm…”
“There are still quite a few MREs left, right?”
“Yes.”
“Is there quite a bit of food produced?”
“For now.”
“If we relocate, will it be possible to produce the same amount of food as we do now?”
“Actually…”
Seunggyu unfastened a button on his neck and slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about that too. The biggest reason why I thought that way is… The space here is so limited.”
“Yes, of course.”
“It’s true that we need a little bigger space. This place is spacious, but if you think about it, it’s not that big. There are a lot of buildings that aren’t in use.”
“So.”
“But it’s hard to think about moving on my own. Above all, I don’t know where the best place is.”
“Hmm.”
Sending them away. I don’t know if it’s a good idea.
That’s what I thought. Could it be that they are trying to remove a logistics center that is no longer needed from my sight? And.
Honestly, it’s not that I don’t have that feeling.
In order to get as many women as I want whenever I want, I also need someone to store the MREs.
This is the logistics center that was created that way. However… It is true that it is no longer needed.
Four women in the bunker. And Minhee. Women of the fence.
Since there are more women that you can touch to your heart’s content, it’s natural that you don’t notice the women in the distribution center.
Above all, it is difficult to treat them harshly.
What should I say? Should I say I don’t want to ruin the relationship? I don’t know. I can’t even explain what it feels like.
Seohyun is now Jinyoung’s lover, so even, the love-hate Jiyeon, the plant sisters, Mirae, and the two women who came in later.
The women who came in after that weren’t for that purpose anyway, so they can be left out, but that’s it anyway.
Jiyeon, plant sisters, future.
No… To be precise, delay.
Nope. Sisters too. No… Even the future? Ugh. Crazy bastard. Maybe you should get some sleep? I’m out of my mind.
“Seongcheol?”
“Yes?”
As I was thinking about something else, Seunggyu called me.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah. I stayed up all night last night. It’s okay.”
“I see. Then go and rest. Or would you like to rest here for a while?”
“Um… No. I’ll just go. Instead, I’ll come back tomorrow. In good spirits.”
“Do you want to do that? Yes. We’ll take a look at this and decide on the skills tomorrow. Then.”
“Okay. I’d like to do it now if possible, but… I’m out of my mind.”
“Yeah. It looks like that. Go ahead.”
“Then I’ll go. Just tell them I’m leaving without saying hello. I’ll be back tomorrow anyway.”
“Yeah, okay.”
I just used phase out.
I see people being surprised to see me disappear in a world that has turned hazy.
Well, you’d be surprised. Because this is different from invisibility.
Okay. It’s like this. They are so weak. Ha… I don’t know. It’s strangely confusing.
After coming out into the open air, I immediately canceled Phase Out and used Invisibility and Flight.
And then it soars into the sky and heads towards the bunker.
Are there many accidental deaths while flying?
I think you know what I’m talking about. Right now, I’m a bit drowsy driving.
Okay. If you die like this, the guy who picks up the coins that fall below will be a jackpot. Because it’s like 5 million.
When I finally returned to the bunker, I took off my clothes and lay down on the bed without even washing, not even remembering what I said to the women who welcomed me.
However… Even in this condition, you can’t sleep on your own?
Under. Fuck insomnia. Insomnia like a dog.
I was barely able to fall asleep by putting sleep on myself.
