Chapter 265 – 265. Eradication 5
On the way back to the logistics center.
The atmosphere is better than when I came earlier.
Everyone is talking to each other about the battle that just took place, the dangerous moment and what they felt.
However, in the end, it is a story about how to kill a person. It’s not an atmosphere where you can laugh and talk.
Donghyun, riding in the back, was talking about what he felt with Minjun and suddenly asked me a question.
“Hyung. I have something to ask you.”
On the way back, Seung-gyu takes the lead, so there is less driving pressure.
I pretended to be relaxed and spoke to Donghyun.
“Try it.”
“What do you think is the most ideal and perfect skill combination?”
I can feel the attention of the people in the car being drawn to Donghyun’s question.
Everyone is probably curious.
An era where firearms disappear and skills come first. An era where you can protect your life if you gain the upper hand with skills.
Everyone is more interested in skills than anyone else.
“Nothing.”
“Yes?”
“I haven’t seen all the skills. So I can’t use the word perfection you’re talking about carelessly.”
“Ah… Then I asked the wrong question. Among the skill combinations you’ve seen so far, which one has the highest survival rate?”
“Why? If you tell me that, will I raise your skill accordingly?”
“No. I have to find skills that can break that combination.”
I chuckled at Donghyun’s words.
“Yes. I like that way of thinking.”
After saying that, I thought about it for a while. This is the combination with the highest survival rate…
“Flight, reflection, shield.”
“Yes?”
Donghyun is a little puzzled when unexpected skills appear that are different from what he expected.
It’s not just Donghyun. It seems like everyone in the car has similar thoughts, and the faces reflected in the rearview mirror look similar to Donghyun.
“Reflective love… A shield?”
“If you look purely at survival, it’s true. If you have those three, there’s no easy way to catch them. You could add invisibility instead of reflection… But it’s similar.”
“Reflection… Protects against target-type skills, and shield protects against non-target-type skills… What about flight?”
“Among the skills, there is an area-area skill invalidation.”
“Ah… Yes. I saw it on paper.”
“It’s a range skill, and you have to hit the ground or anywhere to apply the skill around that area. If it’s used, all skills will be released. However, if you’re flying and floating in the air, you may not be hit by that skill. You can’t use it in the air.”
“Ah… Then is it just because of that one thing?”
“There are things like that, and you can avoid being attacked by a guy like Minjun.”
“Ah… I see. This guy is pretty scary. I’ve seen clearly why he’s so scary when he’s wearing metal fire and running at high speed.”
“Yes. Acceleration is a scary skill. It moves in the blink of an eye. To be honest, even if Minjun just reflects or turns invisible, there would be almost no way to kill him. It’s quite tricky.”
Minjun speaks with a slightly emotional expression upon my words.
“After the world was ruined, I was always envious of Donghyun’s invisibility… I always blamed myself, saying metal paintings were trash… But then the day came when I was like this.”
“Yeah. That’s the same for me. When I first saw you, I thought things like metallization were trash. And until recently, I thought things like shields were trash. But… Look. We can use them somehow, right?”
“I see.”
“Metalization and acceleration go very well together. At first, I thought super strength and acceleration were a good combination… But you don’t need the strength to lift a car to kill someone anyway. Rather, metalization blocks all physical attacks. I think it might be better. Anyway, the goal is not to kill a lot of people, but not to die.”
“Then what do you think is better for me to learn first, transparency or reflection?”
“Well, it depends on what you do… But transparency is more useful.”
“Ah…”
“I’m not just talking about skills. Imagine there are 10 opponents. But you used invisibility, metallization, and acceleration, and then hit one guy like a dump truck. How does the opponent feel?”
“Wow… Mr. That’s crazy.”
“One person died suddenly without even knowing what hit him. The remaining nine people must have been terrified, not even knowing what had happened. There’s nothing like invisibility to stimulate that kind of fear.”
“I see…”
“Do you have 200,000 coins?”
“No. Not yet. I got a lot this time, but it’s not that much yet. I have about 120,000.”
“I haven’t mastered acceleration yet… So the opportunity will come soon.”
“Yes. I’m not that greedy.”
“Hyung, then what about me?”
As soon as Min-jun’s non-counseling was over, Dong-hyun asked a question.
“Well, you have a lot of choices. But, let’s talk about that later. We’re almost there.”
“Uh… We’re already there.”
The car was approaching the distribution center. Because I was passing by the CCTV that Jinyoung had installed.
Not long after, we arrived in front of the logistics center, and I immediately turned to detection.
Two presences felt inside the building. Probably Yujeong and Hayul.
I pressed the button for a long time and the people getting out of the car in front looked at me in surprise.
“Get down.”
Everyone got off, and Yujeong, who heard the clamor I rang, ran out holding Hayul.
Seung-gyu hugs Yu-jeong. Yoo-jeong looks a little haggard from how much he was anxious in that short period of time.
Like that, Yoo-jeong handed over Ha-yul, who she was holding, to Seung-gyu and started hugging everyone at the logistics center one by one.
She is a woman who is happier than anyone else that even one person came back alive without incident.
After giving everyone a hug and confirming that everyone is safe, Yujeong approaches me.
“Ah. I’m fine.”
No matter what I said or not, Yujeong hugged me tightly.
What can I say… It doesn’t feel that bad. It feels like the embrace of a mother I forgot a long time ago.
“Let’s go in. It’s not much, but I’ve prepared a lot of things.”
Everyone headed to the restaurant under Yujeong’s guidance.
Only then did smile return to everyone’s faces.
No matter how many people they kill, they are still winners.
There is no need to discount a legitimate victory as just murder.
Seunggyu also seemed to know this well and opened his mouth in front of everyone who was suitably full.
“What we did today can be seen as simple massacre. But don’t ever think of it that way. We only made those who tried to kill us pay their fair share. You don’t call a soldier who went to war a murderer. . To me, you guys are the ones who did a great job protecting their country. Would you like to come out for a moment?”
Seungju and Jiwon. Two people who killed many bastards with wind blades and fireballs.
If Seung-gyu didn’t do it, he planned to say something to me as well. Also… Seunggyu is deep in thought.
“Thanks to you, we are safe. There is absolutely no need to regret or feel heartbroken for your actions. All responsibility lies with those who attacked us, and they have paid for what they did. “
Okay. They are still young and delicate.
If you don’t nail it down like that, no one knows what will happen.
You might laugh in front of everyone, but you might sob under the covers for the people you killed.
Even a dry guy like me would be indifferent about murder… They are not like that.
Children who have never successfully killed a person on their own.
If you don’t do that, you will continue to see images of the people they killed in front of your eyes.
Seung-gyu never forgets to praise not only Seung-ju and Ji-won, but also others.
“Finally… There is no need for you to feel hurt or guilty about this. Once again, you did what you had to do for all of us. If you are having a hard time and keep thinking about it, please tell me. Let’s watch over each other one more time. Everyone must be tired, so go up now and get some rest. “Don’t think about anything today and sleep deeply.”
Seung-gyu’s words make everyone’s hearts lighter.
Also… He looks like a leader. Taking responsibility for everyone can be seen as the true face of a leader.
After the event, everyone went back to their rooms, tired.
Seunggyu and I are the last ones left. Now… I should go too.
“You had a hard time.”
“Yes. It’s all thanks to you.”
“Operation control will be returned.”
“Even if I keep it.”
“It’s so far away. If I hadn’t accidentally stopped by this time… I’m dizzy as to what would have happened.”
“Ha, that’s right. Heaven really helped. No, you helped.”
“The radio I used before… Is there anything better?”
“Can’t we reach the distance?”
“Yes. Ha. Really. I never thought I would be so tired from not being able to contact you immediately.”
“I heard that one of the skills is communication.”
“Yes, there is one. But I have no idea what kind of skill it is and what effect it has.”
“That’s right. It’s a bit difficult to learn skills carelessly.”
“Isn’t there a way to communicate without relying on skills?”
“It might be possible to add an antenna like a base station in the middle… I’ll check it first.”
“Okay. And I’ll stop by more often. I guess that’s the only way.”
“Yes. That’s the best. Show your face often.”
“Okay. But… Everyone will have earned some coins and gained some experience this time, so it will be an overall upgrade.”
“That’s right. That’s what I’m really worried about. It’s good to become stronger… But to become stronger, you have to pay a price. I’m saying there was no damage this time thanks to you, but I don’t know how long miracles like this will continue to happen.”
“It shouldn’t be a miracle, it should be made with skill. What I’m more worried about is…”
“Huh?”
“About.”
“Ah… Yes.”
“I don’t know if it’s real or not, but I think those rumors have been exposed for more than just money.”
“Yes. That’s the problem. I don’t know where these bastards heard the rumor, but… The fact that such a rumor is floating around is a source of anxiety for us.”
“Moving… I might have to think seriously about it.”
“That’s right.”
“Even if we move anyway, there has been a lot of growth and plant control, so it might not be that difficult to decorate like this.”
“That’s right. That’s right. First, we need to prepare.”
“Okay. Then… I think I’ve done everything I needed to do, so I’ll go.”
“That’s right. You had a hard time too. Take care.”
“Ah. And… I’m going to check out the place where the bastards were.”
“Ah. Yes. It would take a long time to pick up all the coins there. We can’t even go there anyway. It’s dangerous.”
“That’s right. I’m sure the people I knew there will show their faces at least once.”
“Were you thinking that far?”
“I don’t think they lived that closed off.”
“Okay, I understand. I keep talking for a long time. Come on in and get some rest.”
“Yes. I’ll go. See you later.”
After saying hello, I go out of the restaurant, use my flight skills, and fly to the bunker.
Before we know it, the sky is becoming quite hazy.
A time I don’t like very much. However, it is a time that comes at least once a day.
It’s not something you can refuse just because you don’t like it, so there’s nothing you can do about it. Besides, I don’t feel so bad today.
Perfect response to a sudden crisis at the logistics center.
If this is the case, we can really follow Seung-gyu and call it a miracle.
It’s a big deal. I think I’m being too affectionate.
I can’t protect all those people. After giving affection like this… It would be quite unbearable if they all died from someone like me.
Ha… I’m really worried.
We can’t kill all the worthy people in advance.
No… It’s not impossible, right? It’s the same as the Middle East.
All you have to do is broaden the scope a little more.
When I was walking around, I could take a long time to clear just the Middle East, but now my skills and movement speed are different from then.
It’s not completely impossible… After all, the only thing to do in this damn world is kill people.
I can see my house with a bunker in the distance.
As I got closer, I turned on the detection. The presence of four people gathered in one place.
These… Are we all sleeping in my bed again? Funny guys.
When I entered the bunker, all four women were sleeping in my bed.
I quietly took off my clothes and washed my body so as not to wake them. The burnt smell coming from my body was so bad that I had a hard time from a while ago.
After washing my body, I squeezed in between the four women who were tangled together.
These guys… Even if this happens, I won’t wake up. What… There is no need to break it.
Before I lay down and went to sleep, the thought I had earlier came back to me.
King of the Middle East. And its expansion.
I need to think about this some more.
Thinking like that, I immediately wrote sleep to myself.
