Chapter 315 – 315. Concern 1
Air gun. Anyway, it’s a gun.
A weapon that fires lead bullets with compressed air rather than gunpowder.
Okay… I thought the gun was gone, so I forgot those things existed. Why did you do that? Is it because I’ve never seen anyone use it?
This is probably because of the unique characteristics of our country. It is a country that is sensitive to guns, swords, and gunpowder.
Now they shot the man at a level that knocked him out, but they could definitely kill him.
You hunt things like wild boars with air guns. It is definitely a weapon with lethal power.
When I saw that… I had many thoughts. Now I… If I fight them, will I be able to win?
Of course you can win. Since there is a phase out, you can just do what you have been doing.
The combination of area skill nullification and sleep is still effective. Honestly, I can’t stop this.
But up to four people. What if more comes? I have to curl my tail and run away.
Flight and invisibility are unsettling. Because you don’t know how far the air rifle will fly.
That’s what guns are like. Just one shot. A weapon that takes just one hit and the game ends.
It is a weapon that can kill even a 10-year-old child if they can hold the gun, point it, and pull the trigger.
And what’s even more problematic is… Air rifles are not just rifles.
There will be pistol types and many more. I do not know well but… Wouldn’t it be possible to snipe with an air rifle?
If so, exposing one’s body itself can be a problem.
Moreover, they are all wearing earphones or something like that in their ears.
Sounds like you’re using a walkie-talkie. This means that information can be delivered quickly, and the situation can be grasped at any time.
Fuck… It’s on a different level from the guys I’ve seen so far.
Moreover, those people are fully trained.
I don’t have the ability to find out if it’s regular military training, but in the end, I’m saying that I’m not an amateur who was suddenly selected out of nowhere.
You will be able to defeat each one. No matter how much you use a walkie-talkie and hold a gun, the skills are much more intuitive and simple.
Moreover, since there are female soldiers, charm can be used sufficiently.
And if I catch a few more people, I might be able to use that air rifle. And? What next?
You’re going to have to deal with a lot of guys like that who heard the radio and came running, right?
How many people like that are in this big city? Ten people? Twenty people? That can’t be possible.
There is no way this large city could be covered with that much manpower.
Even though one man was making a fuss, nearly ten soldiers gathered.
That does not mean that there is a shortage of manpower to maintain public order.
Those who have been trained in over 100 units… Can I annihilate it alone?
Avoiding all the lead bullets that can come flying from nowhere?
No, what… I think it could be possible if we use fierce guerilla tactics.
They won’t be able to do anything about phase out.
Plus, there’s charm. Charm is a terrible skill. Besides, if you give me something like that, I can earn 100 per day.
Moreover, the woman you pulled in can also use that walkie-talkie, so you can utilize the information as much as you want.
But even those women will be suppressed the moment they do something useless.
You might be killed instantly. Because guns can do that.
Okay. Let’s just say that I was so fucking stupid that I ended up neutralizing all of their security.
What next? Is it a one-sided massacre?
This is the problem.
I haven’t decided what to do with this city yet.
Air guns and security forces. Of course, it is true that it is powerful and cumbersome.
But if I can’t make up my mind, it’s a meaningless action.
I am… Can you erase all the people living in this city?
I can kill people at will… Because they are also the ones who killed people.
People who do not hesitate to end the lives of others for their own survival.
What… It’s not that there aren’t people who have never committed murder, but those are very few examples.
Most of the people I met took someone else’s life, so they had nothing to say if they lost their lives too.
But what about these? Are these people who have ever committed murder?
Are these people who have experience abusing their skills and casually taking the lives of others?
That’s the biggest reason I don’t kill children.
Because usually children don’t kill anyone.
They don’t have blood on their hands yet. Those who are most likely to be innocent.
But what about them? What about those people who live like they did before they were destroyed?
Have you ever killed someone? Have you ever harmed others with your skills?
And… If you destroy public order like that and kill everyone except children… What about the remaining children?
What do we do with the children whose parents are murdered and who are left alone in this harsh world?
It’s nonsense. It’s ironic… It’s a rumor.
You want me to create countless vengeful demons with my idiotic and idiotic beliefs?
Or not… Are you so worried about such things that you end up killing everyone without any hesitation?
Difficult. It’s too difficult.
This is the first worry I have experienced since the world became like this.
My own worries that no one can answer.
I am… What should I do?
For now, I want to leave this place.
After using Phase Out and leaving the building, from a long distance away, use Invisibility, Flight, and Reflection again and soar into the sky.
And… As I was going up into the sky, I saw something.
Two letters of the alphabet. SG.
SG… No way… Are you talking about the group that is among the top three in Korea?
Only then did I realize that I was seeing the word SG quite a lot.
In factories, buildings, and even in the vests worn by soldiers earlier.
I feel like I can hear a puzzle being put together in my head.
A place that can maintain a city like this.
A place where you can train soldiers who look like private mercenaries and supply equipment.
A place where you can run a factory and mobilize that many people.
Now I finally understand. This city… It was like a paradise for a conglomerate.
And I took out the paper from the storage.
Royal Club. The name at the top among them.
As expected, it is SG. I did. I finally realized something.
That’s amazing. Any chaebol group can play on this scale.
What is the population of this city? 500,000 people? 1 million people? No… In Korea, there are only ten or eleven cities with over 1 million people.
Still, from what I remember, Cheongju was a city with a fairly large population. I know it’s quite a number…
Anyway, there will be a reduced population, so if we assume 500,000 people… It is definitely not a small number.
There are about 500 fencers. It’s 1,000 times more. The scale of the numbers is different. Ugh. Fuck.
Feelings of despair, sighing, and worry fill my head.
It’s not a situation where you can do something.
What are you going to do when you don’t even have proper principles of action?
So I flew to the outskirts of the city.
Cheongju was a bigger city than I thought. Even if you fly to the outskirts, traces of people’s lives continue to appear.
A deserted rural village. I went down there and took the car out of storage.
Then I got into the car and lay down quietly.
The day was quite cold, but since I was in the car and covered with a sleeping bag, it didn’t feel that cold.
I feel like I want to go back as is, but… I want to see the city a little more.
The answer may not come from looking, but I still want to look. I really wanted to know more about what kind of place it was.
After avoiding the cold in the car until the sun rose, I got out of the car to see the dawn.
Put it back into storage and fly towards Cheongju.
I went up to the tallest building with a clear view of the industrial complex and sat down.
And I look at the people moving below as if they were statues.
Even though it is early in the morning, people come out of their houses and rush somewhere, breathing white breath inside their thick clothes.
Even when people encounter each other, they appear to have no intention of attacking… I’m really not used to it.
No, what is an attack? They also take buses. They even gather together in a small space.
Plus school. I wanted to see that.
However… Do you go to school even though it’s February? Did you go originally? I think it’s a little different from our time.
Anyway, after 8 o’clock, students began to gather at school one by one.
Nine years old now? Ten years old? Children who look like that. He is carrying a school bag that is half as big as his body and carrying a slipper bag in his hand.
Children greet the friends they meet and joke around as they enter the school gate.
It still looks so unrealistic. Those kids have skills, right? Besides, you will know how to write.
However, none of the children used the skill. No, it’s not just children. The same goes for adults.
I’m sure there are people with skills like acceleration or flight. I haven’t seen anyone use the skill.
Is it banned? Is it illegal to use skills? However… Is that controllable?
Clearly, this atmosphere continued even in the early days of the world’s destruction.
Humans are not creatures that wield power carelessly.
A creature that controls and tolerates itself in the name of law, morality, social promises, customs, and manners.
Therefore, it was maintained to some extent in the early days.
It’s like a movie about students using magic in England.
Therefore, there were many people who took pictures of their life skills or production skills. Because no one thought that they would harm each other.
Law and order were fairly solid, and many saw this phenomenon as just an incident.
It wasn’t just a few people who induced it. A world without internet or TV.
It was a time when fabrication and propaganda lost their power and crouched down for a while.
However, the spark of confusion burned faster than expected, and the world quickly became chaotic.
Okay. But that may only be the case in the metropolitan area. There was no way to know that.
Even if I was a little far away, I had no idea what I was doing.
Then… What was this city like?
Was it under control from the beginning? Or did this happen after a bout of measles?
I don’t know that.
What… If you grab a random woman and use charm to ask her, you’ll get the answer, but you don’t need to go that far to find out.
In any case, it was important that they lived normally without using skills.
It’s not perfect, but… A city that is sufficiently controlled.
However… To me, it looks like an unexploded bomb placed on a bonfire.
How long will this last? Is it really controllable to not be able to use skills?
If… If it explodes once, how far will the ripple effect go?
Will they end up having a battle royale where they kill each other, albeit belatedly?
The mean-spirited child who had grown inside me began muttering to himself.
You don’t want to kill your child? Fuck that bullshit! Did you think that you would kill all the humans in the world with that kind of mindset?
You idiot! Fool! Short-thinking, single-celled bastard! Don’t fucking kill me right now! Kill them one by one! They are all coins, and they are all prey!
Kill all the men, gather all the useful women, rape them, and kill them! That’s what you’ve been doing for the past 5 years!?
Why are you acting nice now? Do you feel sorry for them? Or do you envy people who live peacefully?
Don’t be damned! Are you thinking such foolish thoughts? Can’t you see it’s written as SG? This city is just a big factory!
It’s a squirrel wheel that those in the know have created to ensure smooth supply of supplies!
Children? Later, when you get older and your movements become slower, those kids will come up from behind and shove a sashimi knife into your side!
So kill me now! Kill them all now!
They were all correct, so there was nothing to refute.
But I wanted to hit a little fuck in me.
Fuck you… If you state the facts, it is defamation! You bastard!
