Chapter 34 (1/2)

“Well, actually he sent out the thread as a trial balloon yesterday. From now on, he can receive their gold and fool around as much as he wants from now on. It’s gonna be huge.”

“So, no good faith without reason?”

Sungwoo nodded at that.

Now, based on this game system, people who racked their brains for profits began to appear.

“Well, I can’t join because Youngdungpo is too far away from my place.”

“You bet. Then look at this.”

― Prime middle-aged Kim: My job is a two-star ‘missionary,’ and I can make a small safe room. My location is Suwon. I am looking for a young woman to live with. Let’s decide on the place together. You can apply with your friend. Hahahaha.

˪ Survivor 44: Ugh, uncle, how dirty.

“Damn it. This is not what I want. How about this?” Hanho showed another comment.

― Section Manager Ku: I have a safe zone in Suwon Hwaseong, too. I’m also a 3 star Pioneer. I get monthly rent. Come and contact me.

“Monthly rent? Can you believe there is a landlord in this situation? How about going to this place?”

Although Sungwoo didn’t like the expression ‘landlord,’ he thought it was necessary to confirm the concept of this safe zone.

“Suwon Hwaseong isn’t that far, right?”

“Well… I haven’t walked there before, but it took me about 20 minutes by bus.”

“Then shall we take this as our next destination?”

Everyone agreed. Although everything was still uncertain, they instinctively felt attracted to the concept of ‘safety.’

Until now, no matter where they spent the night, they had to take turns to stand sentry and snooze away in tension. It was quite stressful for them. Finally they found a place they could sleep without any worry! Naturally, they wanted to move there.

“Okay. Let’s sleep here today and move tomorrow. Hanho, tell your parents about our plan and pack the necessary stuff.”

“Yep.”

A little later, Hanho came back after talking with his parents.

“According to my parents, it seems that there are bands of thieves around this area.”

“Bands of thieves? Like those guys in the H Apartments yesterday?”

With the collapse of the law and security, were groups like them emerging to target the survivors and not the monsters?

“Yeah. I think they look like a bunch of high school gangsters. It seems like they like to ride on motorcycles and rip off the survivors? My mom said that she saw the people next door get ripped off by these guys while they were trying to go out.”

Sungwoo feigned a smile. At a glance, they must be lower-class gangsters.

“Those ignorant bastards are running around without knowing anything.”

“To be honest, I’m not too worried about them.”

As far as the battle was concerned, Sungwoo’s party had plenty of experience by now.

Unless the gangsters were not stupid enough, they would not dare to appear before Sungwoo’s party escorted by skeletons.

But the next morning, they really appeared.

Purring!

The gangsters gathered at the entrance to the townhouse compound as if they got wind of Sungwoo’s party. There were a total of seven bikes, carrying two each. So, a total of 14 gangsters were waiting for Sungwoo and his friends to come out.

“Hi, mister?” asked a high school girl behind the driver of a red bike with a silly smile. “Hey, can you give us everything you have?”

Then a guy with a nose ring opened his mouth, “Uhhhhh. When you’re hiding inside your house, you should just be quiet. You’ve been caught while we’re passing by this area.”

He threatened them with a mace in his left hand, wielding it roughly.

“Give us all your weapons and gold while we’re being nice to you. We don’t want to see your blood. Ugh?”

However, Sungwoo didn’t feel threatened at all. He laughed before he knew it and said, “You just heard it, but you didn’t see it, right?”

Then, the gangsters’ faces hardened quickly.

“Uh? What did you say? We didn’t see what?”

“Hey, mister, don’t be relaxed like that. Don’t you see how many of us are here?”

To avoid this kind of unpleasant situation, Sungwoo hid a bunch of skeletons on the stairs on the 3rd floor last night. That’s why they didn’t know anything about the skeletons.

Rattle, rattle.

Soon, something was heard coming down the stairs.

“Uh? Run away!”
