Chapter 5 (1/2)
5 Derailment-5
San is preparing for survival This place is not the Republic of Korea Taking a wide look at things, trying to explain these things here by the standards of Earth according to hu existence, there’s no way to tell for sure without looking into the future
Regardless, it will be an ongoing work Even in this co remains the same, and that is to survive
He is a cold serviceman Now, he instinctively felt the need to further know and proceed on with the operation It’s not for a country, it’s not for family, but a mission for the sake of hient Furthermore, he also needed to include within his scope a particular friend who also needed to survive with hiirl next to hih to kiss him
“All the more… it seems we’ll need luck”
San busily moved around The first step for survival would be to collect water and food He would first have to find water That’s the basic first step He wouldn’t rush when it carow like this, it seemed like they were rich in water
The problem would be where a water source would be…
Going by standard procedure, he looked for a craggy place Where a cliff had collapsed, he meticulously searched for an area with natural causeways At a place with a lot of bedrock, he looked for a possible vein of water that would flow a lot towards the lowlands He put his ear to the ground and discovered a sound
‘Jjoreureuk-jol-jol-jol-‘
Bingo! Fortunately it seemed like he discovered a sound very quick The problem is all the rock and rubble strewn across the floor There were boulders larger than a torso irregularly buried beneath the s around here and there, there were no ays visible on the surface This would be… troubleso water froround [TN: The author here uses ‘식수와 용수’, where 식수water and 용수 means just water So I wasn’t entirely sure on how to translate this]
“Whew- from the first day, like how an apprentice construction worker would work… it’s an act to eat and live” [TN: Lost in translation, I was so lost here]
Putting his rifle aside, San hoisted up a chunk of rock the size of an adult’s head Surprisingly, he lifted it straight up He nearly fell over backwards It felt like lifting a sponge San’s face slowly flowed into a sour smile This is a really fun place Why is it that even a chunk of rock is this light
‘Shwit-shyut-suik–syuk-‘
‘Koong-kwohng-kwohng-keureuereu’
[TN: Various sound effects]
After seeing to her business and aardly walking out of the ain wide ht entered her vision: fro through the air here and there At the point of origin was that guy
‘Oh th’
Biyeon shook her neck and went into the pit After searching through her belongings, she found so utensils and her diary journal She too, was feeling it There was nothing in this world that fell under one’s common sense If one were to create a path to survival with one’s strength, one must use their head to carry out the task
‘Well… ‘
After writing so with her pen, she put it back in her pencil case She took out a mechanical pencil and held it She opened up the rear cap and inspected the interior There was quite a bit of pencil lid already inside Her purpose is not to leave behind a docu aa sketch Even if she needs to erase… sheshe has until she is absolutely certain
She carefully completed her task, and meticulously wrote down the various subjects she needed to confirm First and foreently create a list of things to do She ence operations because it would help determine the causes of the phenomenon, and she wrote down the standards for infor from today, she must first see to that phenomenon
Biyeon walked outside with her notepad in hand Her steps were facing towards where San was
“Wow! You found water” Biyeon shouted with genuine admiration
In that short amount of time, San had already found a source of water hidden aithin a heap of rocks, and had already dug a ditch with rocks off to the left and right Fortunately, the water was flowing quite a bit The floor of the floater was a large slab of bedrock, and loose sand and gravel swept the bottom of the floater The appearance of the water looked extre
“Is it possible to drink?” Biyeon asked She sed some saliva…
“Well… it’ll probably be alright For now, let’s look at the condition of the water”
“Pardon?”
