Kim Yu-ri and Kim Joo-hyuk were staring at the fish-shaped bun in front of their eyes with blank eyes. It was better food than anything else in the cold winter, but for them, the bun was like the food of another world.

'The fish-shaped bun, how did they make it?'

'Do they have any materials? No, wait… nothing special is going into the fish-shaped bun?'

'In fact, it is never a food that required special ingredients or great effort. All they needed is spare time, and they just needed to wait until the machine is hot and the dough in it bakes.'

'It's nothing…'

It was spare time not found in Seoul. Now, in Seoul, distribution was being made to survivors, but the distribution was very unilateral and mechanical, meaning nothing more than just supplying energy to avoid dying.

So, the moment they put the fish-shaped bun in their mouths, they could feel it with their heart, not their minds, when its damp and warm sweetness hit their tongues.

'Damn it… Which one is right, Seoul and Bucheon?'

”The boss will be hunting soon,” Jang spoke to Kim Joo-hyuk and Kim Yu-ri, who were skeptical about the organization.

”Then you two will be watching the boss's hunt.”

'Observing?' When the unexpected word appeared, the eyes of the two changed. 'He's just going to show us? What is his purpose?'

It was because they could not understand the reason why the word 'watching” came out.

”You can report to your boss after you watch him hunt it, and of course you can't interfere with his hunting, or make a fuss.”

However, Jang's explanation led them to understand the situation.

'An opportunity.' And observation was what they wanted.

They saw Kim Tae-hoon win a light victory against Oh Se-bum, but it was only a test. They could see a few cards each had, but they could not know how he really fought with the cards.

The test itself was too easy. It was Kim's one-sided victory. The information that could be obtained in such a battle was bound to be fragmentary.

It was quite different fighting monsters and fighting against people. What Lieutenant Colonel Yoo wanted to know now was Kim's ability against monsters.

Now came a chance to see it.

'What do we do?' It was a golden chance. 'I should see it, but…'

They were rather suspicious.

'What secret designs does he have? Maybe he has other intentions?'

'If someone has a bundle of fifty-dollar bills in front of him or her, it is common to look around rather than pick them up.'

The situation of Kim Yu-ri and Kim Joo-hyuk was similar to that situation.

”Oh, this isn't a request for cooperation or anything.” Jang Sung-hoon did not give them anything to worry about.

”You must attend, and if you refuse, you will be forced to watch under control, and if you refuse to speak, we will bind your limbs and carry you with diapers. As for me, I don't want to add a new experience of wearing adult diapers to my life page.”

”Get on board! Get on board!”

”Depart!”

The black-clad and raincoated men left the place after loading the monsters' bodies into trucks with unceasing vigor.

The bodies in the truck immediately went into butchering. They cut their chests open and collected the monster stones. The whole process was done quickly.

'Everything is done in real time.

'I think I'm looking at the parts of a clock.'

Kim Yu-ri and Kim Joo-hyuk's eyes, looking at this rapid work, were moving without hesitation.

They had been through all sorts of hardships. Nevertheless, everything they saw was amazing.

'They are not Awakeners, but they can work this fast?'

Everything was amazing from the start. Kim Tae-hoon said he would go hunting alone, and instead recruited a processing team to handle the monster carcasses. The recruitment was done in the form of receiving applicants, and everyone rushed to apply.

'They applied with a smile when they were recruiting applicants.'

Even the applicants were ordinary people, who pissed their pants at a monster's growl. It was a scene that Kim Yu-ri and Kim Joo-hyuk had never imagined.

Their eyes could not stop. It was Kim Tae-hoon coming down from the sky that stopped their eyes.

'Ah…' At the moment of seeing him, they came up to him, who had blocked a group of Mini Bears that appeared in the crowd a little while ago.

A Mini Bear was a red grade, with an appearance similar to that of a bear, but the size of its body was small enough to be a wolf. But the power and the ferocity was greater than a bear. They were in groups, and sometimes they rushed at the orange-grade monsters!

Therefore, it was crazy to see that he blocked the twenty Mini Bears.

Even the drivers inside tanks become pale when they saw the Mini Bears running, so what did they need to explain?

However, in front of the rush, Kim Tae-hoon did not panic but turned twenty Mini Bears into dead bodies with a single quick glance.

Only after a featherless arrow returned to the leather pocket of Kim's waist after all the killing finished, and did they see that it was a weapon used by Kim.

'Monster.'

The bodies of the two began to tremble, reminding themselves of the power of a secretive arrow, with more powerful penetration than guns, and results any modern weapon could not ever produce.

'If he had fought with the relic in his hand… Oh Se-bum would not have been able to make any attempt.'

At the same time, they also learned that Kim's ability to hunt monsters was at a level incomparably beyond Major Oh.

Oh was definitely strong.

With his B+ Rank's Energy, he had beaten the orange-grade monster with his bare fists at the beginning, and after being armed with the relics secured by the National Museum of Korea and the Capital Defense Command, he was able to deal with the yellow-grade monsters alone.

Furthermore, when the Capital Defense Command hunted a White High-footed Spider of green-grade, a giant spider with ten legs, he had jumped out of a combat helicopter and thrown the finishing blow to its huge body.

Therefore, Oh was hope. He showed that humans could fight hard and stand against a terrifying monster.

'He is in another dimension'

But Kim was different from that. Fighting hard, resisting… it was not such a fierce battle that he showed.

It was a one-sided hunt.

Therefore, they tried to deny their feelings at this moment.

'We can kill a red-grade monster with a gun.'

'A Mini Bear is fierce and strong, but a platoon armed with firearms is enough to deal with them.'

If they admitted the existence of Kim here, the miserable days they had been through would be useless. So the two tried to undermine the presence imprinted on their brains.

”Be careful of the fear.” Kim gave the two short notice.

”Yes?”

”What do you mean?”

They made a retort at short notice, but Kim did not answer.

Kaaahh!

Instead, a Huge Bear, as opposed to a Mini Bear, roared fiercely.

It was the appearance of a chameleon bear, whose skin color changed according to the color around it.

'Yellow-grade!'
