Worn And Torn Newbie chapter 655
Closed Beta Testers (6)
Steam rises from the 4th basement floor.
Hot steam was rising from the top of the clear soup.
Zodiac bent an iron pipe over a bonfire made by burning the bed matrix and hung a pot under it.
was in a state of
In the pot, a white soup with a fragrant smell was boiling.
”In Korea, this is called bone soup, right? Puss.”
Zodiac takes a bowl of soup and puts it in a bowl.
I stare at the zodiac with my disgust on my face
see.
We were on the 4th basement floor of the hospital, in the ossuary next to the mortuary.
The Zodiac is now eating the powder left over after the dead are cremated!
”Aren't you eating hoo-hoo-?”
”This is crazier than I thought, how do you eat it?”
No matter how much a game is, there are things you can do and things you can't do.
But the Zodiac looking at me just giggles and sips the hot broth.
I frowned once more.
”Why would you rather roast a corpse?”
”Are you stupid? A corpse is a corpse
I became undead, how do I eat it? If you're infected, you're out of the game. But that's not going to happen with bone meal. Long live the makeup culture.”
Zodiac smirked and emptied the bowl.
I didn't want to see it, so I turned my head slightly to the side.
then.
” 1 99
Zodiac, who was drinking the broth, paused for a moment.
”Wow!”
Zodiac suddenly bowed his head and drank up the broth he ate.
Then he grabbed his stomach with a look of pain.
” o Mahan”
It's obviously moaning in pain
it was an action.
I doubted for a moment.
'Isn't the zodiac a body that doesn't feel pain?'
Sensing my questioning gaze, Zodiac raised his head for a moment.
And he smiled with a smile on his face.
Why? Is it strange that I feel pain?”
It's not really like that.
Painless patients also often transmit pain from sensory nerves.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be the case in which he would feel so much pain that he would die of shock.
For example, in case of terrifying pain such as stage 4 or higher terminal cancer or compound fracture of the pelvis.
”Does your pelvis hurt?”
”Pussy-”
At my question, Zodiac smiled with a displeased expression.
He wiped away the cold sweat, which he normally never possesses, and then emptied the soup.
I too couldn't stay starving, so I drank a little bit of plain water.
Just by drinking a little water, you can fill the hunger gauge to some extent.
How much time has passed.
Me and Zodiac knew the third mission was over.
(Third Mission: The Starving One)
When the mission was over, the transparent wall covering the entire hospital building disappeared.
Then I was able to get out of the hospital.
” This?
When I got out of the hospital, I was able to stare into the memories of the Zodiac's nightmare.
Destroyed roads, burning buildings, broken windows and overturned cars, zombies walking and crawling everywhere.
It is like entering the apocalyptic world at the end of the century.
The dark red sky was intermittently generating noise.
Broken system windows are visible in every corner of the field of view that cracks like a low-quality screen.
- Tiling!
[Deu E, Maki 口, you s room door 口 Hwan 口 /)

[跌shi me tD Beta.

” Hmm.”
I could tell at a glance that this world was not normal.
There is something subtly different from the common sense of reality and the common sense of the game.
then.
The zodiac began to tremble. He looks at the message in front of him with fearful eyes.
It's probably because of the specific phrase.
I carefully looked into the system window in front of me.
Broken letters.
Perhaps the original text of these is something like this:
[One for All, All for One.]
[Welcome to Closed Beta. The show will start soon.]
I remember this phrase because I saw it once in the Tower of Murderers in the past.
Even then, the zodiac was Belpegol's nightmare
When I saw these words I pulled out from the inside, I started the game.
” Maybe it was the line that General Wilson gave?”
For reference, the Phoenix of the Parthenon, whom I met earlier, also had a similar line to it.
I looked at the zodiac with more and more doubts.
”Ouch turn it off... .”
Zodiac was drooling from the corners of his mouth and stroking his body with his hands.
It was as if he couldn't stand the pain.
It was the first time I had seen this guy like this, so I paused for a moment.
”Tell me if you think you are going to die.”
Why? can you help me? Ah, in this pain
There is no medicine .”
”No, not that. Last but not least, I want to eat.”
I lifted the razor upside down and pointed it at the Zodiac.
It was from the thought that if I was going to die even if I just let it go, I would have to take away even the essence of the stats I ate.
When the zodiac saw me like that, he had a blank expression as if he was amazing.
But then he giggled and laughed.
”That's why I like you, my friend. That's right, the lesson and life should be clear.”
I think you're going to die if you leave it alone... Before that, please answer my questions.”
There are still many things the Zodiac has not heard of.
Where the hell did he get this end-of-the-century experience, and why?
What does it have to do with Inji, Commander Wilson, and the Goblin Masks (probably the current GM squad).
At this point, it was necessary to hear what the closed beta was that he was talking about.
”Pussusu- So you should have spoken to me before then.”
”Don't be shy. Who was the first to play the game every day?”
”Keppan, you have prepared a forum for conversation.”
”It would be a hell of a dwarf.”
In the midst of giving and receiving, we ended up standing in front of a subway station.
Inside the station, where black smoke was rising, there were dead bodies lying around on the stairs with missing teeth.
Essences of stats that had not yet been collected were emitting a sparkling light intermittently.
I looked up at the sign of the ruined subway station.
Los Angeles Union Station
A history that was once very prosperous'. This place, which was made strong and clean, is now only covered with bloodstains, filth and corpses.
