1.
A vacant lot for a building, which had been full of silence for a while, was now filled with the atmosphere of a construction site.
”Get rid of this lump of flesh! It's disturbing!”
”Need two more people here!”
”We need three people here! Hurry up!”
At the center of the atmosphere was the dead body of a giant snake.
The Black Snake, which had doled out fear and despair, was now paying for it.
People were clinging to it like ants, gnawing apart its body, little by little.
There were different ways.
”The chainsaw has stopped! Oil! Give me some oil!”
There were those who were cutting off its head using a heavy-duty chainsaw, and some people were digging out the flesh beneath its skin with pickaxes and shovels.
”Be careful, watch out for the forklift!”
There was also a crane driver removing the accumulated flesh with the crane which was in the construction site .
It was hard, of course.
”Oh, it's harder than hard work on a construction site.”
”I'd rather do delivery service up and down. What kind of body…”
But still, it was full of vitality.
”But it's better to be this tough.”
”I am in sweat after a long time, and it's good to live now.”
They could see how precious it was to be able to do something hard while sweating.
”Mealtime, it's mealtime!”
Oil was poured onto their burning energy.
”The menu is ramen, Rice Cake Ramen!”
A huge cauldron, found in a nearby restaurant, showed up with boiled rice cakes and instant ramen noodles, and saliva filled everyone's mouths.
”Let's eat and then work, let's eat!”
Everyone stopped what they were doing for a while, and started enjoying the meal together. The breaths of those eating hot ramen rose from all over the vacant lot continuously.
It was a warm sight to see.
However, Jang Sung-hoon's expression of the scene was not so positive.
”Brother, would you like a bowl?” Bang Hyun-wook asked Jang Sung-hoon, but there was no answer. Jang Sung-hoon looked at the body of the Black Snake being dissected, with a hard face.
”Brother Sung-hoon!”
”If you want to eat, you eat alone.”
”You're not really going to eat, are you? Don't ask me for some.”
Bang Hyun-wook ran away with those words to the line in front of the cauldron. Jang Sung-hoon, still watching the scene, once again stiffened his expression that had relaxed for a moment.
He looked at the body of the Black Snake with that hard face. At this moment, Jang Sung-hoon had one worry.
'Where should we go?'
There was much to be done in the future.
Once we have made an item using the body of the Black Snake, made the Mac Clan into the Mac Guild, created Clans under the Mac Guild, and selected a representative of the public...
There were important things to do after that.
'The first priority we face right now is to have a self-sufficient system: to secure land for farming. It is necessary to save more survivors because it requires a lot of labor. This winter will pass like a shot, just doing these things.'
'The next problem is…'
'If the words of Lee Jin-sung, the dead head of the Messiah, are true, there are stronger monsters than the Black Snake around Bucheon City. As we have seen, monsters are classified according to the color of their eyes. The lowest grade is red, the next grade is orange, and the above grade is yellow. The monsters are likely to be rated according to the seven colors that make up the rainbow.'
'According to that grade, the Black Snake that covered Bucheon City in fear means the third weakest type of monster. It's the third one down there.'
The dragon, which had appeared in Bucheon City for a while and just before the death of Kim Tae-hoon in the future, had dark-blue eyes.
'He'll never die if he steps on the yellow one, but if he steps on the green mine, it will be game over.'
Currently, the grade of monsters that Kim Tae-hoon could kill was the yellow-grade.
Even he barely killed it. If he met a monster with green eyes, he would inevitably die.
'Even he just stays still, it will be game over, in the end.
'However, we can not stay in Bucheon City forever. If we stay in Bucheon City, we will be attacked by monsters coming here someday. If we are trapped in Bucheon City, it is not much different then being a farm to a monster.'
'We have to move.'
'In the end, we have to move. To live, we must move on without stopping. But as said before, no one knows what threat is! It is like walking a minefield without any clues or information!'
”It's a real fuck.” Jang Sung-hoon threw up curses at the situation.
If it was a difficult problem, he would be worried about finding the answer, but the problem he faced now was not a difficult problem.
No answer could be found, even if one was worried about it.
”Brother!” Bang Hyun-wook came up with a bowl and walked toward Jang Sung-hoon.
”I don't want to eat,” Jang Sung-hoon said in a slightly irritated voice.
”Big brother is here.”
”What?” At the following words, Jang Sung-hoon had to make a surprised look. ”Has he done it already?”
Jang Sung-hoon saw everyone, eating their delicious ramen noodles, rise from their seats and bow their heads.
It was the return of the king.
Kim Tae-hoon, appearing just like that, immediately walked over to Jang Sung-hoon and said, ”I'll start after a cup of coffee.”

”Oh, my God.”
”No way, did he really do this alone?”
Two men, dressed like butchers, with plastic aprons, rubber gloves, and meat-carving tools, were briefly distracted by the sight in front of them.
It was the path of dead bodies spread out before them.
There were bodies lying on the road, not of humans but monsters; of not just one kind, but a variety of them!
What was more surprising was the condition of the bodies.
”The condition of the bodies...”
”Is this possible?”
