Sleepman of a Ruined World 71

Chapter 71 – 71. Fishing 2

Jiyeon is living very hard.

A motel room may not be a completely safe place, but it is a place where you can live, and as long as you have enough to eat, there won’t be any major problems.

Okay. The problem is food.

I don’t know how much coin she has, but buying food with the coin she has is a last resort.

You have to find food in reality somehow. Anyone, without exception.

However, over the past four years, people have swept up all the edible items, and even if there were some left, they were no longer edible.

In the end, there are only two things you can do.

Looting, or murder.

This world has become like that. In order for me to live, I have to take someone’s life.

I don’t know how long it has been since she got food comfortably through the Invisible Duo, but she doesn’t seem to be used to a world that has changed so drastically.

Already empty stores, supermarkets, convenience stores… It is so immature to wander around a place like this.

Common sense tells us what is left there? You stupid woman.

Unless you find a hidden canning warehouse or something, you shouldn’t even think about getting anything in real life.

I still have some food in my backpack, so I won’t starve right away, but I’ll get anxious the longer I run out of food.

What will happen to her? Can she survive this harsh world?

It wasn’t that difficult to watch Jiyeon.

No matter how skilled she is, she has a vague fear of the world. Anxiety that someone could target you anytime, anywhere.

The feeling of fear that I was able to finally let go of after being detected is quite a scary feeling.

Even if you do the same thing, you have to be two or three times more careful, and you can’t let down your guard at all times when moving or exploring.

Therefore, their actions become withdrawn and sluggish. The radius of movement is bound to become quite narrow.

The only problem is sleep.

I can’t sleep easily unless I use sleep on myself, so I have to make sure Jiyeon is sleeping, so I can sleep.

The only thing that means is that once you sleep, you sleep for ten hours. It’s not easy to wake up midway.

If Jiyeon leaves somewhere while I’m sleeping, it becomes very annoying.

Moreover, I thought he was sleeping, and I went to sleep, but even if he left somewhere during the night, there was no answer.

Damn it. I didn’t think of this.

It would be nice to have something like GPS… Ugh. You have to hope for what you want.

I had no choice but to sleep as much as possible. I have no choice but to set the alarm to vibrate and sleep while holding it tight.

Fuck. I did something pointless and ended up changing my life cycle.

I watched it like that for a week.

I went to Seunghee once while Jiyeon was sleeping, but there are no problems yet.

It didn’t move to another place, and no one came this way.

Who was that person before? Seohyun. I remembered the words of the two guys who came to the gym where Seohyun was.

There is no one in Sangdong. Those bastards shake it all off.

I guess that’s true. Even though I searched the entire surrounding area, there was no sign of anyone.

At this rate, Jiyeon has no choice but to starve to death.

It will soon be time for the food I put in my backpack to run out.

Since you will have coins, you won’t starve to death right away, but it will be dangerous if you don’t do something soon, right?

Do they really know their situation?

Luckily she wasn’t stupid.

The next morning, as soon as the surroundings became bright, Jiyeon left the motel.

Thanks to her empty backpack, her body feels lighter, and her movements are better than before.

Where will she go? Does she have a place in mind?

Just follow along. She has no choice but to follow wherever she goes.

After following her for a while, she went to a large warehouse-type supermarket.

Hmm… It’s so one-dimensional. What could be there?

It was one of the first places to be robbed after the world went into this situation. There is no way there is anything in it that a human can swallow.

Jiyeon looks very disappointed. She’s a funny woman. It’s really fun.

Jiyeon went here and there for a whole day like that.

Ji-yeon goes and searches every place where food can be found. She alone seems to be about 4 years late.

How easy of a life has she had? The Invisible Duo guys must have had a hard time.

As the sun set, Jiyeon sat on a park bench and looked at the sky.

I couldn’t hear her because she was looking through her binoculars from quite far away, but she was crying.

The setting sun shines on her tears flowing down her cheeks, creating a strange atmosphere.

It looks like some kind of pictorial with a pretty woman crying. Fuck. It’s an unfair world.

If I do that, I’ll look really shitty.

Jiyeon once again went into any motel in sight.

She spends a lot of time even entering a motel because she is afraid that someone might be there.

That’s at least because she has attack skills. If she had a crappy skill like canning beer, she wouldn’t have even dared.

No. Then it wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Aside from Jiyeon’s work, I thought about the same situation.

The Middle East was not without people.

Of course, I caught and killed them all.

But there really wasn’t much of Sangdong. How did this happen? Is it really because they caught and killed all those bastards?

Then there is a high probability that those babies will not remain in the same province.

When all the grass in a pasture is eaten, the shepherd moves the flock to another pasture.

Fuck. I need to go fishing, but there are no fish.

No matter how grade A the bait is, what do you do? There isn’t even a single baby minnow.

Lunch the next day.

The horse got caught in a minnow.

Two people were detected. There is still room for distance. About 50 m?

The distance between Jiyeon and the man was about 80 m. Are you going to run into me? Or will they diverge?

After a while, two other people came into view from a nearby two-story building, looking down at the small supermarket where Jiyeon entered.

Two men. Around early 30s?

This is exactly the picture I wanted. What would it be like? Interesting, huh?

There seems to be no detection among the men. If there is detection, there is no way such a movement would occur.

They are walking around carefully looking around. However, the direction is a little bit wrong.

If things continue like this, I don’t think we’ll ever run into each other.

What is it?

Just then, Jiyeon came out of the supermarket. The two men are slowly heading in the opposite direction of Jiyeon.

I have to kill those two men anyway.

Ah… Don’t get confused. Please.

I was a little nervous as I hid behind the railing and took turns watching the three.

Is there a better way?

I saw an empty can at my feet. If… ? Hmm… Let’s give it a try.

If that doesn’t work, I can just kill them all.

I threw the empty can.

The empty can flew in a parabola and landed exactly between the two men and Jiyeon.

Kang! Kang! Degurrrr

The sound of empty cans rolling around in a quiet street can be heard loudly.

And the reactions of both sides who saw it were completely different.

The two men who were going in the other direction looked at each other and quickly and quietly approached the side where the can rolled.

And Jiyeon just hid.

Both sides with decreasing distance. The two men came to the side where the can was rolling and started looking around.

Ji-yeon is hiding, unable to move, looking toward the men, and the two men are looking around.

It’s an exciting situation for me, who is watching everything from the second floor.

Two men are getting closer to Jiyeon.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before it is discovered. If the two men just take a few more steps, they will pass right in front of where Jiyeon is hiding.

Surprisingly, Jiyeon took action first.

“Please save me!”

When a woman, a pretty-looking woman, suddenly appeared, asking for help, the two men were embarrassed and slightly hesitant.

And that slight hesitation decided their future.

“Lightning!”

An angry cry of delay.

Two men were hit directly by the lightning wave.

Only I, watching from afar, could see the lightning wave spreading, but those who were struck right in front of me probably didn’t even see what hit them.

However, like the humans who survived until now, it was not easy.

Jiyeon was frozen in place, unable to move as if she was able to use the skill.

What? Is it paralysis? I think it’s paralysis, seeing as it’s still frozen. Because petrification requires contact.

Or is it fainting? If you faint, you’ll pass out, right? Anyway, I think that’s paralysis. I know because I experienced it too.

Jiyeon did not fall down and remained frozen. I fell… Thank goodness.

It’s dangerous if you fall in this weather. You have to be careful.

The two men who had been hit directly by the lightning wave were unable to move and lay there, fuming.

When I looked through binoculars, I saw her body shaking. Looks like he’s not completely dead?

And Jiyeon also stands there without moving.

How long does paralysis last? I was relieved pretty quickly at that time.

After about 20 minutes, Jiyeon began to move little by little.

She sat down and took a deep breath.

The two men still show no sign of waking up. In the end, it’s the end.

“Thunder… Lightning.”

Pazuzuzu

The lightning wave hit the two men directly once more.

Just by looking at it, it seems like it smells like burning flesh.

“Lightning!”

Pazuzuzu

When the third bolt of lightning passed through the two men, they became light and disappeared.

Two gold pockets remain in place.

Jiyeon is staring blankly at the pocket.

No way… Is this your first time writing to someone? Isn’t that the facial expression of someone who has killed someone?

But shock is shock and survival is survival.

Jiyeon approached the coins of the fallen men. Coin being sucked in.

And I struggle to get up from my seat. He looks like he’s having a very hard time.

It’s surprising. It looks like that.

Was everything she showed just bravado?

Or is he acting like that for killing someone he had nothing to do with without determination or anger?

Whatever it is, it’s surprising. Really.

Jiyeon left the street.

She felt in danger, so she went to the nearest motel.

This isn’t a cheap motel, it looks like a decent place.

It’s so easy to find a place like this.

She skillfully searches the counter, finds the door lock card, and gets on the elevator.

Aren’t you scared? She rides in an unmaintained elevator. It’s really great.

Today I will sleep in the same place. I also picked up a card from the counter.

The elevator stopped at the 4th floor, and my card said room 607.

6th floor. It’s just right.

I’m trying to walk up the stairs and turn on the detection on the 4th floor, but I don’t think I need to turn it on.

Room 403 with the entrance light on. As I stood in front of it, I heard crying coming from inside the room.

It’s not a whining sound, but a crying sound.

They are literally wailing loudly. What is this? Are you crying because of the two people you killed?

I stood there for a while listening to her cry.

The crying quieted down, and after a while, the sound of water emerged. Are you washing it?

Whether this is a motel or a hotel, the soundproofing is poor.

I have to move quietly.

I went into my room on the 6th floor and quietly closed the door.

And I climbed into bed without even taking off my backpack.

I lay down and thought about Jiyeon.

A strange woman.

She looked like a poisonous and dangerous woman, but inside she was just a delicate and weak flower in a greenhouse.

It’s surprising. It’s really unexpected.

I don’t know this woman named Jiyeon. No, I don’t know the woman herself. It is a really difficult creature.

Will there ever come a day when I completely understand that creature?

That’s probably impossible. Of course, it’s not just me, it’s the same for all men.
