Chapter 214 – To the Black Zone
-Soggy. Soggy.
This sound is not an obscene sound.
It’s the sound you make when you step on muddy mud.
-Soggy. Soggy.
Every time I take a step, the mud grabs my feet and doesn’t want to let go.
When I think about it that way, it somehow feels erotic again. Isn’t it like a pussy biting a dick and not wanting to let go?
Hmm. Am I the only one who thinks this?
I guess I should also cut back on my lewd behavior.
“It’s hard to walk.”
Okay. Now I am walking through a forest that has become a muddy field due to the rain.
The direction is east from the hideout.
We are heading towards the ‘black zone’, painted in black on the map, which we had avoided until now because it seemed dangerous.
This island is divided into four zones according to color.
First, the ‘Green Zone’, painted in green, is a safety area. It is also the very area where the survivor group led by Cha In-cheol is located.
After the 20th day, creatures invaded here as well, so it could not be said to be completely safe, but as the name ‘safe zone’ suggests, it is safer than other places.
The ‘Yellow Zone’, painted in yellow, is a border area. It is also Kaylee’s starting point.
Creatures that are not that dangerous mainly live here. They attack when they encounter them, but they don’t go around trying to eat me. A wild boar or something. A weasel or something.
And the ‘red zone’ where our hideout is a danger zone.
Originally, it was inhabited by creatures such as hyenas, wolves, and pumas, where your life was in danger if you came across just one.
But not now. Because I took control of this area.
In other words, I can say that I am the most dangerous person in this area right now. Other survivors don’t come in often because it’s dangerous, so it might be safer here.
And the last one is Black Zone.
This place is marked as ? On the map without any other explanation. Even at first glance, it looks more dangerous than a danger zone.
More dangerous than hyenas, wolves, and cougars? What on earth is there? Just thinking about it makes me scared.
So, I have avoided the black zone so far. Because I don’t want to die either.
How many times have you been on the brink of death in the Red Zone? The Black Zone looks more dangerous than that?
There’s no way I can go in. How a gentleman stays away from danger.
But now it is no longer possible to just sit still.
This is because after the 20th day when the natural disaster and creature runaway events were updated, the risk of dying even if you stay still has increased dramatically.
“Fuck.”
I pass through a muddy field, wading through rough tree branches that cover my face.
Now there is no safe place on this island. And it will only become more and more dangerous in the future.
So I had to find a way to escape as quickly as possible. Unless you want to sit still and wait for the day you die.
“… What if there is nothing like this?”
Let’s assume the worst case.
Even if you search the entire island, you might not be able to find a way to escape.
If I were alone, I could just say, ‘That sucks’ and accept death, but with my mother involved in this, I couldn’t die obediently.
Did they really calculate this and bring the family as a set to this island? From one to ten, the only thing I was angry about was. Except now, I can have sex with my mom.
“Fuck.”
If I escape, I’ll have to beat up the guy who created this island. If it’s a woman, I’ll eat her like a dog.
… What if it’s really an alien? What if it’s a monster with an octopus paw on its face?
Those aliens aren’t my type. All I can handle is furry. If possible, I would like it to be limited to humans with different skin colors.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have saved my strength. Grump.”
I barely crawled up the stone ramp.
If I was in good condition, there wouldn’t have been any difficulties. My back was shaking from having defended the championship three times before leaving. 3:1 was too much.
Thanks to this, I was able to extend one life with insurance, but I was running low on stamina. It was even more difficult because the road was rough, and I had a lot of luggage.
“Whoa.”
I climb up a slightly higher hill and take a breather.
I looked in the direction of my destination, but there was nothing in particular to see. Should I have brought a telescope? I took it out because it was heavy.
-Beepeeeee—
“Huh?”
The sound of a bird crying somewhere.
A familiar bird was coming down from overhead.
“Isn’t it a tweet?”
I let it out outside, and it seems to have followed me. Silver fur sparkled in the sunlight.
The chirp flapped its wings, slowed down, and landed on my shoulder.
“Ouch. It hurts.”
The chirp’s claws were quite sharp.
Even though he just sat on my shoulder without any intention of attacking, the claws stabbed my shoulder.
But what did you come here for?
It’s amazing, but there’s nothing special to see.
-Beep!
“What? Hungry? “Give me food?”
I asked, but the chirp just flapped its wings.
Somehow it doesn’t seem like that.
“Hmm. It would be nice if we could use this guy.”
Compared to a pig chick or a pig puppy, Tweet felt quite capable.
Sharp claws, beak, and even hawk eyes. Could it be said that it exudes a ‘warrior’ vibe, unlike livestock that only gobbles up rice?
But even after thinking about it, I couldn’t think of a way to use it.
If I could communicate, I would at least order reconnaissance. If you look from the sky, you will be able to see everything where everything is. But since we couldn’t communicate, there was no way for me to know what the tweet was seeing.
If you ask me to hunt a rabbit, I might do well, but now is not the time to do such things leisurely.
“Hmm. It’s also useless.”
-Beep…
The tweet seemed to understand what I was saying to myself, and it became sullen and flew back into the sky.
Well, I’m sure it will come in handy someday.
At least as emergency food.
“Let’s go a little further first.”
Go down the hill and move east again.
The road was getting more and more difficult the further east you went.
*
Let’s go a little further, just a little further, dragging our bodies for a few hours.
I eventually arrived at the border between the red zone and the black zone.
The sun was slowly setting.
When you look at the map, it doesn’t seem like you’ve come that far.
It took longer because it rained, and the road was rough.
On the way, I ran into a hyena, but when I got close, it ran away. It was fortunate for me because I was exhausted.
“What should I do…”
I thought about going back, but then I got greedy.
You can designate this as a location and search again from here.
But that wasn’t efficient enough. Because I have work to do tomorrow. We also have to fill the quota.
Entering the black zone does not suddenly change the environment. Because it is connected to the red zone. I had a strong desire to search further. If you know what the black zone is, you can come up with countermeasures.
“… “I’ll only go in while the sun is up.”
After coming to that conclusion, I started walking again.
I still had stamina left, and I hadn’t lost yet. At least there was time to search while the sun was up.
… I thought so.
There was no problem with my judgment.
I admit it. I may have been a little complacent.
There was no problem getting here, and I had caught creatures bigger than me several times before. There must have been a bit of pride.
But is walking just 5 more minutes such a big mistake?
I don’t think so.
If there’s anything wrong with it, it’s with this island.
-Kooooo—-
From far away, very far away, came the sound of a large animal roaring.
Because the distance was far away, the sound itself was very quiet, but I could still feel it. This is a big deal.
Sigh. I felt cold sweat rising from my whole body. Instinct was warning.
I caught a wild boar bigger than me and a wolf with a stealth function. Even in such a country, I could see that this was someone that should not be approached. I had to run away immediately.
“Specify location.”
『This function cannot be used during battle.』
My heart feels cold.
It was a message I had never heard before. That’s because I never used the terminal functions during battle. Because I didn’t have the spirit to leave during the battle.
But, we’re in a battle right now?
There’s nothing around me? Who on earth am I fighting with?
“Return to hideout immediately.”
『This function cannot be used during battle.』
“It’s damn true.”
Fucked.
Those three letters came to mind strongly.
An unsettling sound ringing in my ears.
『Tiring♪』
What is coming has come. The cursed notification that always bothered me.
What is it again this time? I gritted my teeth and listened to the message.
『Lone hunter, ‘Grand Silver’ is tracking you.』
“Grand Silver? What is that?”
『The giant grizzly bear Grand Silver never loses sight of its prey once it has tracked it. Even if you run away, it will pursue you until the end with its excellent sense of smell. To complete one’s hunt.』
“Ha.”
Bear! Location tracking function attached!
If you go back to your hideout, they will come to your hideout, right? So, if you don’t want to kill your family, just die quietly?
If possible, wouldn’t it be possible to change it into a cute panda? I really don’t want to meet a creepy grizzly bear or anything like that. Fuck.
『An unexpected mission occurs! Defeat ‘Grand Silver’.』
“You’re really fucking up!”
The terminal was coming up with crazy missions like it was breathing.
