Chapter 368 – 368. Wild Wild West 1
Let’s put aside the excitement of learning about the gate and now start revealing the map in earnest.
You could say we’ve been lucky so far.
Everyone is not learning skills as hard as they think. And that there are no crazy people.
Okay. The big thing is that there are no crazy people. That is the most decisive reason.
Everyone is just trying their best to live the rest of their lives comfortably in this ruined world, holding on to traces of the past world.
I don’t understand that. Do you really think you can spend the rest of your life comfortably in a group like that?
Well, to some extent… I can understand. According to Minhee, it wasn’t that long ago that many skills were unlocked.
That’s probably why everyone is still holding on to the past.
Four years of stagnation. And a transitional year.
On my own, I think we are moving in the best direction possible. That’s understandable. The method is just wrong.
Originally, an individual could not defeat a group.
That was the case in a world without skills. The power of an individual was helpless in front of a group.
But skill changed that.
Just as one F-35 fighter annihilates all other fighters without being detected by their radar even once.
The more skills you have, and the more you combine and utilize them, the stronger you become.
And that’s enough to enable overwhelming matchlessness rather than equal power.
I think that’s who I am now. It’s not just pride, it’s reality.
The kid from Ilsan who is with Minhee.
That guy is great, but he only has eight skills.
Of course, there was a handicap of having to live while protecting my younger brother, so it could be considered a bit late, but that’s about it anyway.
Then… What is the level of the world?
China. A den of cockroach-like dogs.
A place with lots of people. Nowadays, all resources have become meaningless and coins are the only resource.
China has become a country richer in resources than anywhere else in the world.
And although they are barbaric and uncivilized… I’m not stupid.
They are people I don’t like and hate, but that doesn’t mean I let down my guard.
There are people like me in this small Republic of Korea… Isn’t there someone as crazy as me among that big guy?
Leave the house and head west.
To the west, to the west.
An hour from home. That guy who was sent to Cheongpyeong in a zone where the skill cannot be used. I pass by Gimpo, where that guy was.
And further west.
It looks like a continuous land, but it is an island. Ganghwa Island. Beyond that, we head further west.
Now the wind seeping inside the high bar smells like the sea. And the sparkling water surface. And the sunset.
The falling sunset is turning the whole world red. The sunset was so dazzling that it was difficult to go any further.
But my flight doesn’t stop. Anyway, it’s not difficult to go west even if you can’t see ahead.
And the land that continues. Okay. Clearly, according to my knowledge, this is North Korean territory.
The bare mountains that have been stripped bare prove that. This mountain and that mountain are completely bare, with no trees at all.
How can you guess that it’s North Korean territory based on something like this? This is ridiculous. Really.
To the right is land, to the left is sea. We move forward with the boundary between them.
On the map, if you go straight this way and look slightly to the right, you will see an island.
That’s the island I’m aiming for. Baengnyeong Island.
But can I go? It’s farther than you think.
The sun disappeared after spraying a lot of sunset light. The surroundings quickly became dark.
The city night is dazzling.
Even though it is night, the darkness cannot fully gain its power. Because I lose my strength due to the countless lights and neon signs.
But the sea is not like that. And the land of North Korea.
The surroundings where darkness naturally falls. There’s no problem getting there, but I can’t figure out the direction.
Should I have brought at least a compass? Since GPS doesn’t work, you’ll need an old-fashioned compass.
I look at the clock, and it’s not even seven o’clock yet.
Oh my god. Even in a world where electricity is unlimited, the world is this dark at seven o’clock.
I guess I should call it a day. Since I have instantaneous movement, I can save at any point I want.
Tomorrow you can start again from this point. That’s a scam. How good is it?
I was thinking about going home like this, but when I left, I decided to take a walk.
I’m going straight to Suwon. Very convenient instantaneous movement. It’s such a good thing to not be limited by space.
I check to see if the two women are okay. How are you? Two signs appear. Hmm. Shall we check it out?
Choi Shin-young is still sitting blankly in front of the artificial garden.
Ko Seong-yeon doing yoga on the mat.
These two women are truly absurd. How can they be so opposite?
Flowers in a greenhouse and weeds that somehow survive. Is that so? Now that I think about it, what was that woman, Go Seong-yeon, originally doing?
Well, there’s nothing more to see now. These are just fascinating shuttles.
Women who can use whatever they want, whether it’s their charms or their bodies, without thinking about anything else.
I’m fine. Just refill it later when you run out of food.
Moving on to Cheongju.
SG Center. There are still a lot of people. I thought about going in for a bit of hunting, but decided to just go back.
I need to go and master the gate skills. All I had to do was check the situation.
I returned home and leisurely started practicing gate skills.
Soon it became intermediate level, and the gate was up to 2.2 meters wide.
Good. Like it. Even if you are advanced or master, the car will be able to pass.
While I was practicing in the room, women came rushing in.
Usually, when you are this skilled, it doesn’t come into play. What’s going on?
“It looks fun.”
Everyone has similar expressions upon hearing Seunghee’s words.
Actually, the gate is a bit interesting. Right?
“Do you want to do something fun?”
“Yes?”
“Stand this way.”
The floor I saved. Four people were stationed there.
Se-ah seems to have figured out what to do. Still, he stays still. All. There is flight, right?
“Portals will appear in the floor and ceiling. And you will continue to fall indefinitely. If you are scared, just use flight in the middle. If you move to the side or struggle, you may get hurt, so be careful.”
“No… What on earth are you trying to do?”
Mina asked, looking a little anxious.
I smiled and said when I saw Mina like that.
“I told you. You’ll fall infinitely. If you’re scared, just use flight. Then you can stop. Then… Let’s go? Gate.”
Portals appeared on the ceiling and floor where the women were standing.
Round portal. A hole made as large as possible.
And then the four women began to fall.
“Oh oh oh oh.”
“Aaaaah!”
“Huh!!?”
“Hwiyu!”
The net continues to fall while making various exclamations.
Even those who were scared at first stopped being so scared after a few laps.
But… It’s a little strange. If you look at it, you will see that your upper body is on the floor, but your lower body is on the ceiling.
If the portal is close, you can even catch your own feet. This… Are you a dick?
If you do well, it seems like portal sex will be possible? Ugh. I’m crazy. All my thoughts turn to this.
But how do you use it well? . I think we can have sex while facing each other and deep kissing… Ah, I don’t know.
Let’s think about this later. Later.
After a while, the four women who fell apart like that seemed to have gotten used to it and started to enjoy it.
Okay. The four of them are already used to flying in the sky. You shouldn’t be afraid of falling like this.
You can escape all danger with a short word, ‘flight’.
Anyway, the four people who had a great time left, and I finished my gate training.
Drink potions until you feel dizzy from exhaustion and ask me to sleep.
Today, I fell asleep for the third time. Nice.
Next day. Heading west again from the point where we finished yesterday.
It’s nice that the surroundings are bright. It’s easy to recognize.
I went further and eventually found an island.
The smallest island on the far left, the slightly larger island in the middle. Big island on the right.
Those are Socheong Island, Daecheong Island, and Baengnyeong Island.
First, let’s go to Socheong Island. The island wasn’t that big, and it was long, so it was easy to turn on and go around.
Even if you search the island carefully, there is no sign of anyone.
Okay. It’s okay if you don’t have anything. It’s good because it saves time.
Next is Daecheongdo. The island here is not that big either. And again, there are no people.
Have they all already escaped? Or was there a massacre?
There is no way to know that. All you have to do is check that no one is there and pass by.
And Baengnyeongdo.
The island here is still quite large. Well, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to explore.
The island… It’s kinda cool. The rocks look quite convincing.
Rocks with visible strata intact. Rocks with all the weak parts swept away by waves and only the strong parts standing tall.
As I wandered around, I saw that there was a beach and a cave, so it was a nice island.
This must have been the front line before the world became like this, right?
What happened to all the soldiers here? When the world collapsed, everything would have disappeared.
So many soldiers. What really happened?
It would be unfair if it was deleted as soon as it started just because of my status as a soldier.
It must have been so unfair for these guys, a sergeant who was just a few days away from being discharged. Or kids who have just enlisted.
I don’t know if I’m going to another world somewhere and taking over a fantasy world.
Wow. It’s tough. I don’t even want to think about it. Even if you go to another world, you’ll still be a soldier. Oh, wow.
I was thinking of tidying it up if there was someone living there, but I don’t think that’s necessary.
An island that seems completely empty. Good. From now on, this is the territory of Seongcheolguk.
This place is named Combat Training Ground. Land, pound, pound.
This location has been saved.
The saved location is home. Suwon Airfield. Rice wine. Baengnyeong Island. Near Sinchon.
If you go over to the creek… I guess I’ll have to erase Sinchon. Ah. Shall we delete Cheongju? Whatever it is, it’s annoying.
Shall we empty Suwon? But I don’t want to go back and forth again.
Hey, I don’t know. For now, let’s just go. There’s still some sun left, so let’s cross the sea today.
It flies straight towards the west from the western beach of Baengnyeong Island. Turn the angle a little and head south.
If we continue like this for about four hours, the land will come out.
Can we go before the sun sets? I think I can go there if I mix in a little bit of blink.
Just fly without thinking about anything else.
A roaring sea. Ocean. Sea.
It’s not boring to watch. Because the sea does not have the same shape.
As I flew like that, strangely, the height kept lowering towards the sea.
Am I about to go into the sea without realizing it? Under. This is true. It’s a new method of suicide.
After flying happily until the sun set, we eventually found land.
Oh, oh. Good. Good. It’s land.
I think I can understand the feelings of sailors who crossed the sea in a long time ago on a single sailing ship.
I’m so glad to see land. In just four hours.
Because the day was getting dark, I felt a little worried.
Will I come back when it’s bright? Or should I take a spin now that I’m here?
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to take a look around. I thought it would be easy to see the light at night and make an outline.
So it flew over the land.
Ruler. Poison frog! Achieved illegal entry into the country! Show me where and how you live.
First, I looked around for a while, focusing on the coast.
There was more light than expected. Of course, since the Chinese dogs are not at the level of North Korea, people must have lived here too.
Still, there are too many lights. Much more than expected.
More than anything… Big. It’s bigger than you think.
I vaguely thought that the Shandong Peninsula was just a protruding terrain, but when I saw it in person, it felt different.
Uh… Something is different from what I thought.
Too big. Furthermore… There are too many signs to be caught.
I feel at a loss as to what to watch first. How do I check all these things one by one?
Should I go down and catch someone and get some information? Since I have interpretation skills, conversation won’t be difficult.
But do these ordinary people have any information? What if I touch it and cause a commotion?
I was lost in thought for a moment.
What happens if you make a scene?
If there was a commotion at the eastern end of this land of janggae, wouldn’t it be crazy to think that it came from our country?
Then it doesn’t work. Not yet.
We still don’t know what level these guys are at, but we shouldn’t shift our suspicions to Korea.
You may be disturbing the beehive for no reason. That’s stupid.
Let’s not touch it for now. Let’s just take a look.
Even if a commotion is caused, it must be done in their core area. As much as possible, we must show no traces of any connection to Korea.
So I decided to just keep looking around.
I think it would be better to just keep following the coast.
Their home base is Beijing. For now, let’s keep going there. I have teleportation, right?
As I continued along the coast, I noticed something unusual in front of me.
