Chapter 231 – Crack
“What have you guys done so far? Who got you something to eat? It was him! Coin? He earned it! Who is the murderer? He got it! You’ve only received help so far, but you’re going to hold me back even though I can’t repay the favor? No, do you think you can hold the ankle properly? On the other hand, you’re just going to suffer? No? “Am I wrong?”
The arguments of women in favor, including Joo Hee-kyung and Yoon Seo-hee, were simple.
“Just shut up and do what he says!”
Let’s help ‘him’ hunt Tyrannosaurus. Whatever his method, let us cooperate as much as possible to complete the mission.
Clearly, this mission is a difficult mission. However, the argument of the proponents was that the reward would be great as it was difficult, and that if they were successful, the reward would be shared with them.
“I won’t help you if it makes sense!”
Men and some women who did not belong to the faction opposed this.
“Do you know what movie we are filming? “How are you going to catch the dinosaur?”
First, ‘hunting Tyrannosaurus’ itself was an absurd story.
I’ve never seen a Tyrannosaurus in person, but the Tyrannosaurus I saw in the mission video was the same Tyrannosaurus I saw in the movie. There was no way they could catch something like that without guns or bombs.
“And you guys only offer to help, but when the time comes, you’ll just sit back and watch, right?!”
Also, the ‘helping with hunting’ part was also a problem.
Helping with hunting would basically be the responsibility of men rather than women. Although the women insisted on helping, they had no intention of going hunting themselves.
If so, it was obvious that in the end only men would be sacrificed this time. Then, if it succeeds, the women who just sat back and watched will bear the fruits of it. This meant there was no way the men would agree.
“Men have only been getting what they deserved so far, so they should at least help in that way!”
“What’s wrong?!”
The stories were parallel. Opinions were not narrowed down.
“Hello, Mr. Cha. Mr. Cha, please say something.”
An old man from the Kim clan who could not endure Joo Hee-kyung’s viciousness appealed to Cha In-cheol.
First, Cha In-cheol is the leader of the group, even nominally. He wanted me to say something as a man.
But Cha In-cheol just folds his arms and closes his eyes.
I didn’t know if he was deep in thought or had fallen asleep.
“Sister, don’t be like that too.”
“I’m supposed to be still now?!”
Other women tried to stop Joo Hee-kyung, who became even fiercer today.
Just because he was acting evil, it wasn’t a good idea. Ultimately, it was a matter that required the consent of men.
“Is it so. What do you think, Cha In-cheol?”
This time, Seohee Yoon asked Incheol Cha.
The tanking is left to Joo Hee-kyung, and Yoon Seo-hee does the cleanup. That was the basic stance of the women attending the meeting.
“… “I see it a little differently.”
“Differently?”
Cha In-cheol’s mouth, which had been tightly closed, finally opened. Everyone’s attention was focused on Cha In-cheol.
“Please check again the mission we received.”
“Mr. Cha In-cheol. “What do you want to say now?”
Joo Hee-kyung, who was impatient, tried to bite again.
Seo-hee Yoon stopped Joo Hee-kyung and gave Cha In-cheol a look as if to continue her story.
“The new mission I received says, ‘If you kill Kang Chang-jae, you can escape with your partner.’ The problem is that although this mission appears to be a common mission given to us, it is in fact a separate mission given to each individual, unlike the common mission we received just before.”
At Cha In-cheol’s words, each person who had a cell phone took out their cell phone and checked it.
And among them, there were people who understood what Cha In-cheol was talking about.
“Surely… The ‘World Mission’ mentioned above is a common mission, but this mission is a personal mission.”
It was a subtle difference, but it was clearly different.
“This is not to say that if only Mr. Kang Chang-jae is killed, everyone here can escape. This means that only the person killed and his or her partner can complete the mission and escape.”
“What?! That means… !”
Cha In-cheol’s conclusion shocked both men and women.
“Except for the person you directly kill, everyone else will have failed the mission.”
At the same time, the speaking power of the opposing men lost their power in an instant.
“Then you’re saying that even if you kill him, it won’t solve anything…”
If we’re going to hunt the Tyrannosaurus, let’s kill the man. The premise of those men’s claims was that ‘only then can everyone escape.’
However, there is a possibility that the premise itself is false. Then the persuasiveness of the argument was bound to disappear.
“Under! So, were you planning on killing and escaping alone?”
“Ugh! I, I thought we could all escape… !”
Mr. Kim was also completely speechless. Joo Hee-kyung was ready to eat that old man at any moment.
Seo-hee Yoon stopped Joo Hee-kyung again.
“Come on, Hee-kyung, stop it too. You said that without knowing, right? Because everyone was just deceived.”
For Yoon Seo-hee, it was a good thing. As it was, she wanted nothing more than to somehow coax the men into sending them out to hunt dinosaurs.
“Then what do you think is the best thing to do, Mr. Incheol?”
Since Cha In-cheol expressed such an opinion, he would definitely agree.
That’s what Seohee Yoon thought, so she asked.
“… I think we should listen to his story first.”
However, Cha In-cheol was still a cautious person.
Yoon Seo-hee’s eyebrows narrowed.
“You can’t slack off like that. What if he says he doesn’t need our help? What if we join hands with a team other than us? “It’s too late to regret it then!”
“But you can’t blindly follow it. This is a life-threatening issue for us. “They might use us as a throwaway card, so I think we need to listen carefully to their plan before making a decision.”
Seohee Yoon bit her lip.
Cha In-cheol has always agreed with everything Yoon Seo-hee says, even if it means rationalizing it. But now, he was clearly discerning between thoughts and opinions, as if he had become a wise man in just a few days.
It was like that. Cha In-cheol was now a wise man.
Thanks to having a new girlfriend, he was able to escape his long agony. The hopeless unrequited love also ended. She still respects Yoon Seo-hee, but she is not the Cha In-cheol who unconditionally approved whenever Yoon Seo-hee spoke up.
“I think he will be visiting in a few days. “I will decide whether to cooperate or not after hearing the story.”
“Well, it would be easiest that way.”
“Tch.”
Most of the men agreed with Cha In-cheol’s opinion. Some women clicked their tongues but did not object outright. Because there was nothing wrong with what Cha In-cheol said.
“Oh my. The meeting is over now, right? Then let’s eat something. “I’m starving to death.”
“Rice? It sounds like rice. Does food fall from the sky?”
“Yes? Don’t you have anything to eat? “Why?”
Because of the long meeting, dinner time was long past.
But there was nothing to eat right now.
After the heavy rains, food storage took a backseat. Because there was a shortage of daily necessities and a shortage of coins. And since I thought I could use the store at any time, I was buying what I needed to eat that day.
“The store was blocked.”
But now, because the stores were closed, I couldn’t buy food even if I had coins. It was a fatal problem for this group.
“Then what should I do?”
“What about what? “I have to starve.”
“Has anyone saved anything to eat?”
However, there was no food secretly hidden. Food and daily necessities directly connected to the coins were strictly managed under the direction of Yoon Seo-hee, and if you were caught using the coins carelessly, you could have been expelled. Moreover, since we lived within sight of each other, it was an environment where no one dared to secretly hide food.
“There was a big piece of meat in the container over there?”
“Oh, that. It’s not meat, it’s liver. Pork liver.”
“Liver?”
“Why, I guess it came out when I caught a wild boar before.”
[Liver of a giant wild boar].
That was an item dropped from the king of wild boars that Changjae caught when he was attacked by a herd of wild boars.
A single liver weighed about 10 kg, so Changjae, who was too lazy to carry it, left it where it was along with the ax that came with it.
“Isn’t liver edible? It also comes with sundae.”
“I guess you can eat it if you boil it…”
“There is seasoning, so you can fry it.”
“Stir-fried pork liver and chives?”
The survivors, who felt hungry, whetted their appetites at the plausible name of the dish.
Soon, the giant wild boar’s liver was destined to be used as a cooking ingredient.
“That’s not possible!”
The one who stopped it was Yoon Seo-hee.
“That’s not ours. Since he caught it, you should at least get his permission before eating it.”
“Even so…”
“Isn’t it is fault that I can’t use the store? But what are you going to say if you want to eat some of this?”
“But that doesn’t work!”
Others didn’t take it so seriously. Because I thought it was like throwing it away.
However, Yoon Seo-hee was fiercely opposed, as if she could never compromise on this.
“… “Let’s wait and see.”
In the end, it was Cha In-cheol who organized the story.
Anyway, the man will be visiting here in a few days. We also decided to deal with the topic of the liver at that time. It would be better if you could get food as a bonus.
“No way. So what do we eat?”
“Let’s just hold on for a little while. “When you first came to this island, you starved for much longer than now, right?”
“I hate starving like that again…”
“It’s really frustrating.”
Everyone was a little dissatisfied, but in the end, the story came to an end.
There was no food, stores were unusable, and there was great anxiety about tomorrow. Some people were also dissatisfied with the fact that they had to sit back and wait for the man who never knew when he would come.
It was a nervous night.
They watched each other, worried and suspicious that someone else might cause an accident. It felt like trying to sleep while holding a bomb that might explode at any moment.
And the day after the long night.
“I was so hungry last night that I couldn’t sleep at all.”
A man spoke with a face that looked like he had slept a lot more than anyone else.
I don’t know if I really couldn’t sleep, but I was starving. And it was the same for other survivors.
“Can’t I get some food?”
“Ugh. “If someone had just farmed well, we wouldn’t have starved.”
“Who ruined it because they wanted to ruin it?! It’s a natural disaster, a natural disaster!”
“Oh, why are you making a noise?!”
“Who was yelling just now?”
People’s nerves became sharp, and they began to get irritated even by small things.
When women earned coins, men couldn’t say anything either. But now that the stores were unusable, the men didn’t have to muffle their voices either. He even showed an attitude as if he was trying to threaten with force.
The group is splitting up. It wasn’t just one or two people who felt that kind of anxiety.
“Mr. Seohee Yoon.”
Cha In-cheol visited Yoon Seo-hee for her solution.
Seohee Yoon was sitting in front of the container as if guarding the liver of a giant wild boar.
“I think I’ll have to rip out his liver.”
“…”
“First, we will fill our stomachs as soon as possible, and then when everyone regains their energy, we will get them something to eat.”
“No.”
Cha In-cheol tried to talk, but Yoon Seo-hee didn’t budge.
“… Mr. Seohee. People’s dissatisfaction is growing. I can’t control men forever either. Please cooperate.”
“This is not possible. Find another way.”
“Even though you know there is food, it is difficult to find food when you are starving. Before that, a riot will break out, and they will try to take the liver by force.”
Cha In-cheol appealed.
First, I will cook the liver and fill my stomach, then go look for food. If you keep people starving, dissatisfaction will only grow.
Seo-hee Yoon was stubborn, but she did not back down because Cha In-cheol also thought this was best.
“So, Seohee. “Please pass the pork liver.”
“No.”
The scuffle is not over.
Yoon Seo-hee’s attitude was as if she had to take it by force, and Cha In-cheol thought there was no other way.
In the past, Cha In-cheol would have quietly followed Yoon Seo-hee’s words.
But now that my vision was clear, I could see it. Yoon Seo-hee’s attitude is a misplaced blind faith. That kind of behavior doesn’t help anyone.
Even if she had a separate owner, she had no reason to be stubborn. So Cha In-cheol decided to take it by force. He was someone he once gave his heart to, but this time he took his heart away.
Right then.
“You can’t tear it down here.”
A third person’s voice intervened between the two people who were tense.
The owner of the voice emerged through the bushes.
“If I open it here, all kinds of animals will smell it and come flocking to me?”
“You are…”
“Changjae!”
It was Kang Chang-jae, fully armed.
