Chapter 47 (1/2)
“If she goes insane again, I’ll kill her immediately. If she is possessed by the Vampire Lord and digs up information about us, I’ll also kill her. So, keep an eye on her carefully.”
“Sure!”
“And you’re not free here.”
“…Pardon?”
“You guys have been the vampires’ slaves until now. From now on, you have a new master.”
Sungwoo was absolutely comfortable when he was alone, but he needed some subordinates that he could use for a variety of purposes freely.
“Thank you! Just give me any assignment!”
“Man, you have such a way with words like a sophisticated gangster!”
“Hahaha…”
In fact, the main reason why Taesung’s party left the joint market, or their original hideout, was because they were so scared about the ‘human animals’ like Werewolf and Werebear.
Since they were changed from those humans who didn’t choose their occupation cards, the way they acted was pretty different from animal monsters. They not only moved around very large areas, but they also freely searched for survivors inside the buildings.
In the meantime, Sungwoo decided to make use of Hanho’s father, Jungho’s ability to create a ‘pioneer camp,’ namely a safety zone. He wanted to test Jungho’s capabilities.
Woowoong!
When Jungho used the skill, something like a translucent glow extended from the place where he was standing.
-The affected area is now designated as a ‘pioneer camp.’
<ul>
Certain areas are protected by a ‘shield’ from the center.
Recovery will be faster within the camp.
The manager can register access restrictions.

It was fixed at a height of 10 meters and an area of 200 meters. Fortunately, the area covered the entire factory.
“Yeah, I feel like I just came out of a sauna.”
As a result, the 57 survivors could rest comfortably. They could fill up their empty stomachs with the stockpiled food and wash themselves at the toilets inside the factory.
Hanho’s mother, Eunhee, made the food as a cook according to her occupation card. She started to boil something in a large pot in the factory kitchen.
Frightened, Hanho said she put in the Dire Wolf meat that accumulated in the factory.
Nevertheless, the pretty fragrant scent filled the entire place, and the survivors who ate vegetables for days savored the meat.
“Now, please taste the soup. When you are exhausted, hot soup is the best.”
Hanho grabbed a large pot and put it down in the middle of the factory. And then he handed out paper cups to everyone.
“Sungwoo, please take your scoop first.”
Though the ingredients of the soup were not known, Sungwoo took a scoop of it.
He was bothered by Hanho’s words that the Dire Wolf meat was mixed in it, but he was expecting to eat monster meat in the near future. So, he needed to get used to such meat anyway.
“Um. It tastes good.”
-Your stamina has increased because of special dishes.
*Your Physical Strength is recovering rapidly.
<ul>
Stamina will increase for 20 minutes. (+2)
</ul>
It wasn’t just okay, but excellent. Though temporary, the soup showed various effects.
Given that increasing stats was possible only through leveling up, it was terrific to increase stats through food. In other words, she was not a cook just because she cooked.
“Wow, this soup tastes heavenly!”
“You bet! I’ve never tasted such a delicious soup before.”
Others also admired the delicious soup.
Sungwoo had another scoop of the soup that Eunhee named ‘Wolf Soup,’ then got out of the noisy workplace for the president’s office. Jisu followed him.
“Hey, Sungwoo.”
“Yeah?”
“That massacre.”
“I was also agonizing over it.”
After hearing about the planned massacre from him, Jisu seemed to be occupied with the idea of stopping it. But she could not dare to speak about it first because she relied on him for her survival.
“Jisu, have you ever received an exclusive quest?”
Was it an unexpected question? She blinked her eyes.
