Uninhabited Island Hat Survivor 235

Chapter 235 – Bait

Ssam liquid, Ssam liquid, Ssam liquid.

After the light battle, Cha In-cheol was exhausted and took a breath.

He was neither class A nor junk. He was just one of those ordinary human men who was determined.

“I’m sorry.”

“What?”

As a result, Cha In-cheol did not do anything in the process of catching the two hyenas.

I cut one of them down with a mechanical saw, and I also cut down the other one while the chirp was taking its time. The reason Cha In-cheol is panting is probably just because he’s nervous.

In reality, the only thing Cha In-cheol did was one missed swing and one fall.

He thought it was a mistake when he fell due to the weight of the ax he was swinging. He was in a situation where he could have been seriously injured if he hadn’t been helped.

“It’s all like that at first.”

I remember the first time I met a hyena.

I too was seriously injured when a hyena bit my arm. Would it have been different if there had been tweets back then?

But that doesn’t mean you can’t take an important step with your mom. I think it would have been better if there were no tweets.

“Anyway, good job, tweet.”

-Beep!

The chirp twirled around as if happy with my praise and landed on Cha In-cheol’s head.

It’s annoying because the expression on his face somehow seems condescending.

“Shall we leave soon?”

“Ah. Yes.”

But Cha In-cheol just answered and did not leave.

His eyes were fixed on the ground.

“Why don’t you take this?”

“Huh?”

What Cha In-cheol pointed to was a piece of meat that fell where the hyena was killed.

“There is no need. “It will only make your luggage heavier, so throw it away.”

“Yes…”

But for some reason, I can’t let go of my regrets.

I keep glancing back while walking.

Ah. Come to think of it, this guy hasn’t eaten since yesterday?

It is said that the group as a whole had nothing to eat, so of course Cha In-cheol must have starved as well.

“Wait a minute.”

I made Cha In-cheol stop for a moment.

And he took out two emergency rations from the back pocket of the backpack he was carrying.

“Let’s go after eating this.”

I handed one of them to Cha In-cheol.

Chicken-flavored emergency food. A sea of ​​calories wrapped in small plastic.

The contents looked like a snack, but when you ate it, it was something that made you feel dizzy.

“Okay, thank you.”

Cha In-cheol, who received emergency food, ate it hungrily.

I think it’s true that I starved for about a day. When I see you eating that stuffy thing like that.

I brought him water, and he drank it happily.

It’s nice to see you eating deliciously.

My heartfelt lighter as I was taken to the place where I would die.

“Well, by the way.”

“Yes.”

I asked as if I remembered Cha In-cheol, who ate all the emergency food in an instant.

“Well, how do you plan on catching the Tyrannosaurus?”

“We need to think about that now.”

“To… Yes?”

Cha In-cheol is taken aback by my answer.

I said, pointing to the sky with my finger.

“If you make a plan in advance, won’t you hear it from above and take action?”

“From above… ?”

Cha In-cheol still looked like he didn’t know what was going on.

Look around the sky as if looking for a flying bird.

“The enemy we must defeat is not the Tyrannosaurus. “He’s the manager behind it.”

“Administrator?”

“The manager who brought us here and gave us these crappy missions. It is a dark story that makes survivors distrust each other and abandon their humanity.”

At my words, Cha In-cheol looked as if he had been punched in the back of the head.

“Indeed… I had never even thought of such a thing. “I just thought I had to carry out the given mission right away.”

That’s natural. I was like that, and everyone was like that.

My horizons broadened probably because I met manager Pia. Until then, I was only focused on the mission at hand and how to escape.

“I think I now understand why women relied on Mr. Kang Chang-jae so much.”

“I think that’s a little different…”

I laughed bitterly.

That’s probably not the reason why women like Yoon Seo-hee follow me half-heartedly. It’s just that my judgment was clouded by the extreme situation. From there, I emerged as someone who could be relied on. That’s why women worship them as if they are part of a cult. Even if it were someone other than me, women would have depended on me by draining my liver and gallbladder.

“Let’s go for now. “I have to see the end before the sun sets.”

“Yes!”

We started marching at a fast pace again.

To the southeast of the island, to the Black Zone.

*

The road wasn’t smooth.

Just like when I walked back from the Black Zone to the hideout, this time too, numerous creatures attacked us.

Still, if there is anything better than then, is the addition of Cha In-cheol to the group?

“Hey!”

Cha In-cheol gradually became accustomed to fighting.

The large ax now fits in my hand and doesn’t get swayed by its weight.

It was difficult to deal with fast guys like hyenas and pumas, but those who attacked as ignorantly as wild boars split their heads off in one go.

“Hey!”

Because of its strength, it can lift loads and do not fall behind even when moving long distances.

It was helpful for hunting and was much safer as aggro was dispersed.

I didn’t notice it because I kept going alone until now, but didn’t party play actually a very important factor in survival?

I felt like a fool for exploring and hunting alone until now. They say it couldn’t be helped.

“Huh!”

… However, it was difficult to listen to that cheering sound that was made every time.

“Mister.”

“Whoa, yeah?”

Cha In-cheol, who had just caught another wild boar, looked back, wiping his sweat in good spirits.

“What’s wrong with that spirit?”

“Haha. Sorry. If you give it strength, it will come out on its own.”

Umm.

To be honest, it’s true that I don’t want to hear it.

Is it too much to prevent them from doing something like that on their way to the end?

It felt like there was only about an hour left until the sun set.

We arrived at our destination almost on time. There were no injuries.

All conditions have been met.

It was time to implement the strategy.

I thought a lot while coming here with Cha In-cheol.

How to catch a Tyrannosaurus. Is it possible to catch it in the first place?

What happens if you don’t catch it? What happens if I fail and die…

Let’s set aside the possibility of failure.

Just think about hunting Kushtapa.

First, you can never win if you fight from the front.

Charge with a chainsaw? That’s bullshit. I am not a suicide aspirant.

After running the simulation in my head dozens or hundreds of times, the only outcome was that Cha In-cheol died. Of course, I will die nine times out of ten, no, ninety-nine out of a hundred. In order to aim for the remaining 1% of possibilities, Cha In-cheol’s sacrifice was essential.

How do I say this…

He said he would do anything, be it bait or anything, but if you really told him to be bait, would he actually follow through?

I have no choice but to die?

… If it were me, I would never do it.

If I die, who will take responsibility for my family?

Moreover, what is the guarantee that others will succeed even if I die?

If it were me, I would never, never do it.

──But what about this foolishly honest man?

I got straight to the point without hesitation.

“I thought about it.”

“Yes.”

“I guess you have to be the bait.”

“…”

Cha In-cheol kept his mouth shut.

A few seconds of silence.

We continued walking in silence.

“Okay then.”

After a while, Cha In-cheol opened his mouth again.

“Can everyone else buy it?”

I couldn’t guarantee it.

“Of course.”

I lied.

Without a single hesitation.

“I will send them all alive. For saving your sister, your girlfriend, and yourself. “I will send them all home.”

It was a bluff.

The possibility was less than 1%.

But in order to protect that 1%, I had to not waver at all.

If I show even the slightest hesitation in front of him, that 1% will become 0%.

“I will.”

Cha In-cheol was fooled by my bluff.

His eyes were full of determination.

“I will do it. Bait. What can I do?”

It was the eyes of a man who gave up his life for his family and the woman he loved.

“Can I trust you? If you fail──”

“Do. “I will risk my life to do it.”

Should I run away? I was thinking of holding the family hostage and threatening them.

I don’t think that’s necessary.

“Whoa.”

I committed it.

We have really come this far.

Are you going to do it?

Am I really running?

Once you run it, there really is no going back.

“Put down your backpack.”

Cha In-cheol took off his backpack and put it down without saying a word.
I unpacked my backpack and took out the contents.

It is the liver of a giant wild boar.

The huge liver, which weighed well over 10 kg, was well-packed in a vacuum.

Now it’s just a big piece of luggage, but the moment you open this package, animals that smell it will come running. Of course, there will be Tyrannosaurus Kushtapa among them.

“I will move to another place from now on. Cha In-cheol, please stay here and open this package in the next 15 minutes.”

“You mean 15 minutes? How does time go…”

“Oh, I’m not saying you should get it right. Approximately 15 minutes. “It’s okay if it’s generous and lasts between 10 and 30 minutes.”

“Between 10 and 30 minutes.”

“If you tear it open, all kinds of animals will flock to it.”

Gulp.

Cha In-cheol swallowed dry saliva as if he was nervous.

“Don’t run away, fight.”

I’m just saying this, but it was ridiculous.

Because it was like telling me to sit still and die.

“Cha In-cheol’s mission is to protect this liver until the Tyrannosaurus comes. Don’t let other animals eat your liver.”

“When the Tyrannosaurus comes… What should I do?”

“Fight. “With the determination not to have this liver stolen by a Tyrannosaurus.”

I don’t think the outcome will change even if Cha In-cheol fights a Tyrannosaurus.

However, if Cha In-cheol can inflict even a small wound on Kushtappa, my odds of winning will increase accordingly.

So I didn’t say run away alive.

He told me to fight and die.

“… I understand.”

Cha In-cheol accepted it.

Without any question.

He was that kind of man.

“I’ll leave the rest to Changjae.”

“Yes. “I will handle the rest.”

I didn’t say specifically what to do or how to handle it.

Nevertheless, Cha In-cheol believed in me and took on the mission.

… The people here are all idiots.
