“I’ve gathered them all here major”
Late at night
The winter sun having long since descended beyond the horizon and slipped froathered aht
‘They’re all here save one’
The rabble that had gathered consisted of the survivors
As soon as he was given per Hyun Wook approached his crush, Joo Hayun
He infor applicants
If you pass the Mek Clan’s tests, then you can travel with them
Without a single exception, twenty-two survivors expressed their desire to be initiated into the Mek Clan
In the worst case scenario, the survivors’ conditions wouldn’t be ht now
“For now, let s clear”
Kiathered
“First, the name of our clan is Mek, the Mek Clan Second, all of the monster stones and otherto me Third, my orders must be folloithout question”
Ki for a moment
He didn’t bother to tack on any sort of warning telling them not to spew bullshi+t later on
This wasn’t soe as difficult for him, then they’ll simply be disposed of There was no need to be considerate towards those anted to make a fuss
Having stopped talking, Kiaze swept across the crowd
He looked at their eyes
Most of the survivors had lifeless eyes Eyes that had witnessed countless deaths
Of course, not everyone’s eyes were like so Even with everything they had gone through, there were still soazes
The girl that Bang Hyun Wook had approached, Joo Hayun, was also aazes
‘Looks like she’s still full of spirit’
Her hair was cut short, the style re, you could tell was a popular style
According to Bang Hyun Wook, she was aspiring to be an actress She hadn’tat an entertainment company
Of course, Kim Tae Hoon had no real interest in her
“Alright then, I’ll begin organizing the lot of you now”
It was his job to separate the good seeds from the bad
“Do any of you have a background in a field siriculture?”
Four people looked around before ti their hands
Three irl looked like she was in her twenties, while the boys looked like to be in their thirties
“Your jobs?”
“That······ I worked in a factory I wasn’t specialized in anything, I just did some work here and there”
“I, I was a construction worker I have considerable work experience I don’t have a certification or anything like that, but I have confidence in using the tools I am very confident”
“I’, but I have confidence in my abilities Please······”
Those who had spoken had no power in their voices
They lacked confidence
Despite everything they were saying, would they be offered salvation just by these words alone? They were skeptical
However, ast the four that had raised their hands, one person was different
“I’m a lawyer”
He introduced himself and his forh he had been waiting for this question all along
“For reference, I worked at the Haesung Law Firm”
It was a strange scene to see a man so confident in himself to the point where he would add a little blurb about where he worked
Overflowing confidence
Although not the best law fir Law Firm definitely ranked in the top
Even if you were to sues of the three others before him, they still wouldn’t be able to reach his income
So of course he would be confident
Therefore, he deserved to be treated with respect
“With the exception of the lawyer, the rest of you are acceptable”
Maybe if it was a week ago sure, but today? No
“H, hold on! Are you saying I’et to pass?”
The lawyer see what Kim Tae Hoon had said
“I don’t knohy you were so confident”
“Well, that’s because the Haesung Law Firm······”
“Just one reason, give me one reason why I should place a lawyer as a monster’s opponent”
Trying to refute Kim Tae Hoon’s words, the lawyer closed his mouth
The light in his eyes was quickly scattering
So Ki
“Is there anyone who served in the ned to artillery or tanks?”
“I was assigned to artillery”
“I also have experience operating artillery”
Two men immediately raised their hands
They seerasped what Ki for
“Anyone with a Class 1 driver’s license?”
“Me, I have one I also kno to operate forklifts and cranes” [TN: enwikipediaorg/wiki/Driving_license_in_South_Korea5D
As the number of questions increased, the nuan to decrease until nobody was raising their hands
“Ready the test”
Kinal
The soldiers began to move about They assembled a line of saber-toothed wolf corpses
They weren’t just corpses
The corpses had their hearts removed as a part of the monster stone extraction process, and the entirety of the bodies were completely butchered as a result of dissection practice Basically, the bodies were ruined
‘Oh my God’
As soon as they saw the saber-toothed wolf corpses, the survivors’ faces turned pale
“Yuck!”
Soan to throw up
“The test is simple”
Kiain spoke towards the crowd
“All you need to do is cut off a saber-toothed wolf’s leg It doesn’t ht, doesn’tto me You have a time limit of 1 hour The tool······”
Kim Tae Hoon fished out a kitchen knife, and threw it at the saber-toothed wolf’s corpse that was beside him
Puk!
The knife embedded itself deeply into the corpse to the point where only the handle was visible
“A single kitchen knife Well then, the test begins now”
