Chapter 317 – 317. Concerns 3
Now that we’ve sorted out everyone, we need to sort out other things as well.
I don’t want to leave any traces that something was there. Nothing happened here.
It’s good that there are no corpses left behind. There is no way to know where and what happened.
The concrete chunks that blocked the road were roughly moved to the side of the road. If it’s blocked like this, other cars won’t be able to pass.
And the half-wrecked SUV… What should I do with this? I can’t leave it like this. I think this can be put to some use.
Anyway, this car belongs to the Daeho Group. I think it could be the spark that causes SG and Daeho to fight each other.
But it won’t be easy. I’m not sure if I can use it or not.
Things in this world are not easy enough for everything to happen the way I plan. But I have nothing to lose.
If it works, it’s good; if it doesn’t, it’s not good. You have to get even. You can organize your work with peace of mind.
For now, I decided to pack the SUV. You have to secure it well so that you can use it well when needed.
I put it in storage, flew it out, and parked it in a nearby parking lot. I put both of them away and headed to where my electric car was.
Normally, it would be normal to take it by car, but it’s so funny to put it in storage and fly.
But this is faster. With this, you can quickly move in a straight line, ignoring elevation.
So we took out the electric car and moved the team leader into the electric car.
And I placed the remaining intact SUV in the parking lot where the two vehicles had been placed earlier.
Ruler. It has been processed now.
It is also good that the sleep time has been increased to 40 minutes due to the increase in skill duration.
The team leader is still sleeping.
This guy has storage skills, and judging by the amount of luggage he put in earlier, I think he’s a master.
Then there will be a fourth skill. Or maybe there are more.
Anyway, this guy is useful in many ways.
A tool that might be able to make a hole in a huge dam. Of course, I don’t know if the hole will lead to the collapse of the dam.
Well, even if it’s not that, the items in this storage unit alone are worth it. You can’t kill them carelessly.
The problem is that there is no way to listen obediently.
Of course, in times like this, fascination is the best. The problem is that he is a man… Well, I know a lot of women with fascination.
First, I refill my sleep once more and think about it for a moment.
Now that we’ve caught this guy, the priority is to get information out of it, but first I want to see more of this place.
Especially the warehouse from earlier. I’d like to take a look there.
Would it be a little suspicious if the car was here? Hmm… No. I don’t like it. It’s not my style to handle things this sloppily.
If possible, you should get rid of anything that could be dangerous.
I drove the car and headed to the Ochang rest area.
And I parked the car in a place that wasn’t easy to find. And then I look around to find out.
No sign of anyone. What… This should be enough.
I’m sure it wasn’t like someone was following me in a phase out or something like that.
Just in case, I looked around once more and flew into the sky towards the warehouse I had seen earlier.
Numerous signs detected from afar.
This is astounding. What… It’s like a supermarket, right?
All these people don’t know each other? And they don’t attack each other?
Maybe it’s because of the soldiers with guns standing over there? Rules created by force.
A promise to guarantee freedom as long as you don’t do anything foolish inside.
People carrying a beautiful object and loading it into their car, a middle-aged man loading a pallet with a forklift onto a fairly large truck, three women happily getting into the car, and a man carrying an object to the outside of the border and then disappearing.〈 Br〉
And quite a few other people.
They look like ordinary people, but they all have something in common.
The eyes are alive.
They look cluttered or have quite a few gaps, but they don’t look sloppy.
It’s a feeling and a guess… It smells like that. It feels like everyone is holding sharp daggers in their arms.
Okay. It will happen. If you’ve lived so far and come and go to places like this, you’re probably not an idiot.
It’s not like they survived just because they were lucky. Those who passed through the chaos and are still alive.
People who can get as much food as they like and can afford to even take care of daily necessities.
Seeing them like that makes my nerves feel tense.
And to be honest, they looked delicious.
They are all prey. These guys are so fat that I want to slaughter them right away.
And it seems it wasn’t just me. Because I have a wider detection range, I can see more.
There are already three of them floating in the sky. Of course, they are even using transparency.
Is there even detection? But judging from the distance, there doesn’t seem to be any detection. If there is detection, there’s no way it’s flying in such an ambiguous location.
Even so, you can’t ignore it. You’re watching with such confidence because you’re confident, right?
A van goes outside, and a flying guy follows it.
Are you a group? Or raid? I’m curious. Shall we follow?
Hmm… No. It’s very tempting, but I don’t have time to follow it. I just need to take a quick look around here and deal with the team leader.
I don’t want to follow something for no reason and get caught up in something.
Not now. For now.
The target now is that warehouse. The problem is how to get in there.
While I was thinking about that, a sedan naturally entered the warehouse.
I parked normally, and two people got out of the car.
A man coming out of the driver’s seat and a woman coming out of the passenger seat.
Although it scans its surroundings keenly, it does not feel like it is wary of its surroundings. How careful are you?
The two people enter the warehouse like that. There was no confirmation or restraint.
Just… Can I go in? Really? A place full of people like that?
I don’t know. I don’t understand that.
I feel relieved to entrust my safety to someone else. Is that even possible?
Above all, I don’t want to expose myself.
Of course, no one cares about a guy like me. Still, I don’t like it. I just don’t like it.
Showing up and going inside. It won’t be a big deal.
Since I have reflexes, I won’t be attacked right away, and there won’t be anyone who will launch a wide-range attack at me.
But you’re not sure about safety.
Are there guys with guns guarding it? It’s a deterrent, not a total ban.
If the crazy guy next to me throws a lightning wave, an ice tornado, or an explosion, I’d be dead… How do you get in there?
Guys with guns? After I die, I will subdue the guy who used the skill. If I subdue that guy, will I come back to life? No. That’s not true.
I know that I am extremely frustrated.
But stuffiness is stuffiness, and safety is safety. That means there is no way I would go in here casually.
In the end, what I chose was Phase Out.
What I want to see is the internal situation, so I can give up things like sound.
So I stepped back a little, made sure there was no one around, and used phase out.
I walk through the blurry world and head toward the warehouse.
In this world, I can feel safe too, right? It’s really a good thing I chose this skill.
A perfect skill for someone like me who is timid and pathologically wary of my surroundings.
The inside of the warehouse looked like a large bank.
The other thing is that there are people standing inside the window?
Funny enough, there was a machine next to the entrance that took out waiting numbers, and finally, one person who came in from the back took a number and went inside.
Due to the nature of the phase out, the screen of the electronic device is not visible, so the current number is not visible.
However, a man can be seen receiving a load of goods from one of the counters.
And a woman who was waiting in the middle of her chair looked at her number and walked over to the empty seat.
A counter employee smiling and holding out something like a catalog to a new customer.
The woman said something without looking at the catalog, moved her hands around in the air, and she bought a bag of rice from her store.
The teller who accepted it went inside, and soon after, he brought me something in a box.
The woman opened the box immediately and nodded her head in satisfaction.
I immediately stepped away from the counter and the employee pressed the button right next to me.
Okay. Okay. It’s not a very difficult system.
A non-transferable coin, a non-existent currency. Therefore, the standard item for exchange seems to be rice.
Well, if you think about it, that’s best. This city will have a huge demand for rice anyway.
Moreover, rice has a longer shelf life than expected. The only problem is that it’s bulky. Heavy.
However, at this scale, the volume or weight of rice does not seem to be a big problem.
It won’t be that difficult to move, and you won’t have to store it for that long.
Rice is probably better than canned food. The staple food of Koreans is rice, no matter what.
When I looked at the other counter, the situation was almost similar. The movement of rice in proportion to the amount of goods.
Then… Can I farm rice myself and bring it here?
Isn’t that a bit ambiguous? If there was even sand on the rice, it would be a hassle to inspect it one by one.
Ah… If you have a lot of manpower, it won’t be that difficult to inspect such things, right? Hmm… Anyway, it’s a pretty good system.
Cheongju excludes agriculture and produces only industrial products. Converting it into rice to secure food for the city.
This looks like an individual customer counter, so there’s no need to conduct raw materials or large-scale transactions here, right?
Just like the team leader did earlier, such transactions can be done separately in a separate space.
I think I know roughly.
What… It’s a good system. But it is a declining industry. A system that will soon fail.
Because there is regression.
I realized one thing for sure.
Those who come here, those who are here. These guys don’t know the existence of regression skills.
When you master five skills, regression appears in the list.
And if you press it out of curiosity, it will say that you have to learn storage to learn it, and then you will be able to guess which skill it is.
Since I guessed that way, most people can guess similarly.
So in the end, these guys are the ones who haven’t mastered the five skills. But what… It’s not that important.
Even with just five skills, it’s quite powerful.
Anyway, I saw everything I needed to know.
There is no need for me to use this system because I have regression. They say you can push it away as much as you want.
Now that my curiosity has been resolved, it’s okay. Rather, I hope this place becomes known to many people.
So that I can eat all the people who gathered on their own.
I knew everything I wanted to know, so I tried to leave… I noticed something strange in the distance.
A man who can see clearly in a world that has become hazy.
I made eye contact with him, and he too seemed surprised to see me.
What? Why is he so clear? Just like me… Maybe?
“Stop.”
He stopped walking at my words. Quite a surprised expression.
That means my voice can be heard clearly.
“Oh my! Are you really using the phase out skill too?”
Quite polite way of speaking. Plus it’s a little… What should I say, acting tone? Speech overly emotional? It feels like that.
But it wasn’t the time to worry about that tone of voice.
I can’t believe I ran into someone in Phase Out. I’ve never thought about something like this.
The good news is that you can’t use skills here. So I wasn’t worried at all.
Instead, I furiously think about how I can catch that guy.
If you quickly cancel it, then use area skill nullification and put it to sleep… It will work.
The problem is that this is the middle of a warehouse where people keep coming and going.
Problems may arise from the moment you disable it. Moreover, if you use Nullification and Sleep, you could be knocked out by a lead bullet flying from somewhere.
It seems like shit. Fuck. It’s absurd.
“Please answer me! I’m quite happy to meet you! This is the first time I’ve seen someone learn this skill!”
Besides, that bastard is something… It looks like a guy with a screw missing.
Why are you speaking in such a cheerful and welcoming tone? Does that bastard also have a flowery head?
