Chapter 88 – 88. Logistics Center Valley 1
What was most surprising to me after the world changed so much was that people in their 20s had the highest survival rate.
After thinking about it, the conclusion I came to was that those who were in their late teens or early 20s at the time of destruction accepted reality most flexibly.
Should we say that it was easier to adapt than older people who have become rigid in the framework and norms of society, as well as morals and laws?
At a time when people were complaining and complaining about why something had changed, they adapted quickly.
Moreover, there will be a physical aspect as well.
These guys in front of me are like that.
A fascinated woman and two sleeping men.
“Tell me. What are you guys doing here?”
The woman, fascinated by my question, begins to tell her story.
“We were in the same orphanage. At first, there were eight of us, but now there are only three left. Then I met my brother… And…”
The problem with fascination is that any woman who gets caught will show infinite affection towards me.
When I stopped the girl who kept trying to cling to me, she looked at me with burning eyes of longing.
Fuck… This skill is convenient, but it is definitely not a good skill for mental health.
When women show infinite affection for me, it’s like a hidden camera.
“So where were you planning to go?”
“I don’t have a specific plan for living. I just wander around looking for food. If possible, I go to the rural areas. It looks like a rice storage area, but if you look closely, there is a lot of rice that can still be eaten. And things like cows, pigs and chickens, if you go to the rural areas, they grow on their own and grow a lot. There are things like that to make a living.”
It’s an amazing way to survive. You can survive without having to attack people.
They are amazing and amazing kids. We can give those guys a chance to survive.
It seems like I know a lot.
“What are your skills?”
“I am fainting. Seungju is a blade of wind, and Junghyun is invisible.”
It’s a wind blade. Is this the one that the dog head used before?
It seemed like a skill that was good at cutting arms and neck. It looked pretty good.
Transparency… After all, men all think the same. But what can I do? The women’s bath has disappeared.
Plus, fainting. Stun units are also possible now.
“What is your skill proficiency?”
“Uh… A high-quality stun.”
“Can three people faint?”
“Yes.”
If I charm Nayeon and this child, there will be 6 people fainting, and I will sleep on 4 people, so a total of 10 people.
Fuck it, there’s nothing to be afraid of. What kind of army is this?
Just three people can incapacitate ten people in an instant?
Those who are definitely alive have similar skills.
It’s a strange world to survive without CC skills or instant attack skills.
Since a group or group is not eternal, creation skills and job skills die early and are lost.
“How old are you?”
“Twenty years old.”
Looking at his appearance, he now looks like a middle school student or barely a high school student.
Is it because my nutritional intake is not that smooth? My height is small, my chest is small, and everything is small anyway.
“Who is the oldest?”
“Seungju is 19 and Joonghyeon is 18. I am the oldest sister.”
“What is your name?”
“I am Mirae. Sung Mirae.”
“Then, when it comes to where to move or what to do, do you follow Mi-rae’s opinions?”
“No. The three of us will discuss it and make a decision once we reach a consensus.”
“Really? It’s a very democratic way.”
“Because there are only three left.”
“Then wait a little bit.”
I should invite them to talk after the boys wake up and the girl’s fascination wears off. There is no point in talking at this point.
After a short period of time, the boys stood up.
The two guys are quiet and hesitant at the sight of me not being hostile and the future showing a friendly side to me.
Does Mirae feel like an older sister and mother to them? They seem to be following along well.
As time passed, the charm of the future also disappeared.
But even after the fascination wears off, his favor toward me remains. What an amazing kid.
“I have something to tell you. It doesn’t matter whether you listen and follow it or not. It’s up to you to decide. There is a place called a distribution center. If you go there, at least you won’t starve. You won’t have to go around looking for food. Instead, you will stay there. We need people. So, if you want, do you have any questions?”
“Well… Why are you helping us? You could have killed them all? Besides, you could have done other bad things…”
The two boys’ expressions change as if they have finally realized what Mirae said.
Hmm… This girl is definitely quite smart. It’s a way of thinking optimized for this damn world.
“Because your skills are useful.”
“If your skills weren’t that good, would you have killed me?”
“No. You’ll see when you go there, but there are quite a few people there with useless skills.”
“Then you didn’t keep it alive because the skill was useful?”
“No. It is true that skill performance is the most important measure. And there is something special about you. That is my subjective opinion.”
The future is silent for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he asks me again.
“Is your brother the manager there?”
“No. I don’t belong there.”
“Yes? But why…”
“I don’t belong, but I am the one who created it.”
“I made it, but it doesn’t belong?”
“Okay.”
“Then… What are the disadvantages for us if we go there?”
He’s a bold kid. Are you trying to be blunt? I like that way of not wasting time.
“Well, there won’t be any labor or sexual exploitation. At least I think it will be better than the current life. The leader there is a very sincere person. Would you understand if you were raising a 4-year-old child in this world?”
“Ah… A child?”
“Yes. Even leaving everything else aside, that alone makes him a great person.”
“A child… Oh my god.”
What? Did I touch something? The three people’s expressions became slightly more serious.
“Can we talk among ourselves?”
I nodded and stepped back a little to let them talk comfortably.
All the rice fields that were supposed to be in full swing for planting rice have become weed fields.
Land untouched by humans quickly returns to nature.
Looking at things like that, being a farmer is not an easy job. They are the victors who won the battle against nature.
Come to think of it, if you go to a fishing village, there will be quite a few people who are self-sufficient.
Because the sea is wide, and you can catch as much fish as you want.
You can’t live on only fish 365 days a year, but you won’t starve to death.
Even if you have a skill like oil production, you can float a ship as much as you want.
Wouldn’t working as a fisherman be a little more comfortable if you have some skills?
“Over there.”
Her future called me, and I looked at her.
“We’re going.”
“Would you like that? I thought about it well.”
Turn the detection once and check once more that there is no one around.
It’s OCD, really. I don’t know how I lived in the days when there was no detection.
And quietly wrote a charm to Mirae.
It is much easier to use charm than to let down your guard with a child with the stun skill by your side.
“Take the lead. I will stand behind you.”
“Yes?”
“It’s my habit. Don’t talk nonsense.”
It is only about 2 km from here to the logistics center.
A distance that can be reached in 30 minutes by walking.
I headed to the logistics center with three people in front and arrived just as the charm wore off.
A lot has changed in the three weeks since we occupied the logistics center.
First, the large entrance to the logistics center was blocked with containers.
Seung-gyu, the leader, tried moving the forklift a few times, then moved the container and blocked it.
Thanks to containers with lockable doors on both sides, people can come and go even if the entrance is completely blocked, which further strengthens security.
And the trees planted densely along the fence and the trees intertwined with each other.
The logistics center has become like a large forest.
Of course, trees were planted only on the outskirts, but that alone made it very difficult to penetrate the logistics center.
The trees were planted so densely inside the fence that I would have completely given up on infiltrating them. A wall of trees.
Plus, these are living trees. Even if it doesn’t catch fire and is damaged, it can be grown again with just one shot.
A logistics center equipped with a useful defense system.
The two boys who were going with me were half fascinated when they saw that.
“Oh oh oh.”
“Wow. What is this?”
Okay. If you’re a man, you can’t tolerate this. Mind. This is fantasy. Fantasy.
“Oh! Are you here?”
Soju, who was looking out from inside the container, sees me and opens the door and comes out.
“Hey. Why are you always watching the security even though the location has changed?”
“That’s right. Strangely, you only come when I’m on guard. But what about these people?”
“I’m new. Please call the leader.”
“Yes. Please come in first.”
If you go inside through the container, you will see the inside completely different from before.
The biggest change is the large chicken coop in one corner of the logistics center.
There are so many chickens that it almost looks like a chicken farm.
Moreover, there are vegetable gardens next to it so that you can’t even see the empty land.
“Huh? Are you here?”
Seung-gyu, who was working with a pickaxe in the garden with his child, saw me and greeted me warmly.
“Then I’ll go back to check the security!”
Soju says hello to me and returns to the container.
“Who are these people?”
“I’m new. Let’s talk carefully.”
“Oh. Really? Welcome. Nice to meet you. Shall we go inside? Hayul. These are the new sisters and brothers. Hello. Come on.”
“Hello.”
“Wow. It’s cute.”
Mirae and the boys’ facial expressions are quite nice. I think the picturesque appearance of the distribution center and the child relieved a lot of tension.
Seung-gyu, the child, Mi-rae, and the boys all entered the building, and I was left alone.
Hmm. What should I do?
Since I’m already here, I have to go see my sisters.
