Chapter 107 – 107. People at Yongin Rest Area (2)

I quickly chased after the man carrying the oil can.

The front entrance was completely blocked, but when I turned around to the side of the smoking booth and entered, I found a hidden entrance. It seems to be moving back and forth this way.

“Hey.”

“Hey!! Oh my, I’m surprised..! “Oh, go around acting like you’re popular.. Oh my heart.”

The man held the oil can looked at me and started shaking in shock.

“Uh, what’s going on..? “They said they wouldn’t get help..”

The man looked at me a little warily. He also glanced at the sword that was tied to my waist, and then he slowly took a step back.

He hasn’t said anything yet, and he hasn’t even made any strange facial expressions, so why does he feel uneasy about me? He seems like a person who is quicker than he looks.

“It’s no different… Can I go inside for a moment?”

“Yes..? Inside..?”

“Yes. I’d like to check on the people inside. I’m looking for my family. Just in case.”

“Ah, if that’s the case… Just wait a moment.”

He could have just killed everyone with harsh words and gone in to cause trouble, but if he went too far, he could have faced unexpected trouble.

I just want to check whether there are talented people worth hiring. I want to stop killing today. I kill so many people all day long that it’s getting tiresome to even wipe the blood off my hands.

“Last name. It’s me. There is also an outsider, looking for his family. “I just checked.”

“Uh. Did you come here because of the kids? Just wait a moment.”

When the man holding the oil can asked the person inside to open the door, the closed door slowly opened.

Inside, two decently armed men welcomed me and an older man holding an oil can. Since he is an unidentified outsider, it is natural to be cautious.

It seems that both of them were gatekeepers and awakeners. It wasn’t a very nutritious skill. Of course, if you collect these and make them S-class, it’s a mess, so it wouldn’t matter if you cut off their heads right away…

“Hey, I don’t know where you came from, but you had a hard time.”

“Come in first.”

Seeing them kindly accepting me, I calmly entered the rest area.

Most of the people I had encountered up to this point were scum, so I had the implicit thought that others were enemies… But this place was strangely peaceful.

Moreover, there were many children inside the rest area. The children’s parents were not visible, but…

“There are a lot of kids..”

“Oh, yes. Those are the kids we rescued from kindergarten.”

“Aha..”

They were orphans without parents. I felt a little bitter. Will they be able to survive the winter? It might be difficult.

If the non-awakened people cannot resist the temptation and turn into fanatics… Those children will probably become easy prey and sacrifices.

It reminds me of a terrible future. However, I have no intention of helping them. Not only was there no labyrinth to receive them, but it was also impossible to take them to Busan.

More than anything, I don’t have the confidence to handle those kids. I don’t like taking care of other people’s children, not even my own. No matter how bad the situation is, if you act emotionally, you will end up collapsing when faced with real-life problems.

First, I checked all the people inside the rest area.

They are all incompetent. A few people had physical enhancements, but there were no appetizing awakeners in sight.

“Is there anyone who looks like family?”

“No. “There is none.”

It was confirmed that there were no significant risk factors.

Now is the time to have a real conversation.

I took out the gun from my inventory.

“Everyone kneel.”

“Hey, hey! Why is this happening all of a sudden!! Where did that come from again?”

“Shut up and everyone kneels!!!”

-Tadadang!!!

I fired a couple of shots at the ceiling and everyone started screaming and looking at me.

I pointed the gun at them and spoke again.

“Everyone gather here and kneel. “If you do anything strange, I will kill you right away.”

I felt a little sorry for them. So, after providing some information, I decided to leave with only one or two people who seemed useful.

So, there was a need to bring people together, but the most effective way was to shoot people, so we did that.

There were no zombies around anyway. It wasn’t a waste of money because I could just get a couple of bullets out with a bullet weave.

“So, is everyone gathered?”

“Yes… Yes…”

“Kids, kids…”

“I don’t need kids.”

“Ah…”

The children who took refuge in the restaurant are not very interested. Anyway, since all movements are detected through presence detection, even if you try to modify it, you can see it right away. I just let the kindergarten teacher continue to take care of it.

“Now I have a few things to tell you, so listen carefully.”

“…”

People swallowing dry saliva and looking at me.

I explained to them about endless winter and eternal night. It also provided information about ghouls and stories about the labyrinth, and also roughly informed about the existence of fanatics, labyrinths, infinite labyrinths, and vampires.

You might ask if I’m giving too much information, but after seeing them bring in and raise children who are not their own, I thought it would be okay to give them some information. They are not extremely evil people, but kind people.

Unfortunately, I cannot directly help them survive, but I told them to go around the labyrinth and collect items before the night begins.

From the looks of it, they look like people who have never entered the labyrinth.

‘Now is the time to actively go around the labyrinth and collect items. If you miss now, there will be no answer later..’

The month before the night begins is the time given to newbies to prepare for disaster. A week has already passed and there are only three weeks left, and if you don’t get through even those three weeks properly, it’s going to be really difficult later.

“Keuhum..”

Anyway, I was drinking water for a moment because I felt like my throat was going to crack after talking for a while, and the man holding the oil can asked me carefully.

“Uh, over there…”

“What is it?”

“Well, the reason you give me that information is…”

“Just. I feel a little sad seeing the kids. There is nothing I can give materially. I’m just giving you information. It’s sad and pitiful.”

“Ah, no… Then you can just let me know peacefully…”

“If I explain it kindly, there are too many people who don’t understand and don’t like it. I don’t know why, but if I explain it with a smile, they understand.”

“Uh… That’s right… “

Yes, it would be nice if I could give some kind advice and leave. But to put it kindly, there are too many fucking bastards who don’t understand at once, have unnecessary doubts, or have feelings of resistance.

So just threaten to kill them and then tell them.

That way, you will understand better.

Isn’t it? Rather than selling medicine with a smile and saying, ‘Do you know the Tao?’ Saying ‘Do you know the Tao’ while holding a knife to the chin is different in its weight.

Most of what I just said has probably entered their heads right now. This information was given to me by a guy who held me at gunpoint and threatened to shoot me, so even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to easily forget it.

“I told you roughly everything I needed to know. You guys there.”

“Ah, yep..!”

“Since you are the awakened ones, you will take the lead in conquering the labyrinth. “If we don’t attack as much as possible within three weeks, it will be difficult to plan for the future.”

“Oh, I understand..”

“For your information, if it’s a labyrinth that looks like a battle royale, just filter it out. “If you run into me, I won’t look at you and I will kill you.”

“Yes..!”

“What else was there…” ” Okay. Anyone who hasn’t killed a zombie yet should definitely try killing a zombie. Because it may awaken you.”

“Yes..”

In the end, there was even someone who took notes on what I said. I didn’t stop it. This is basic information. Moreover, if you are already an active survivor, you will already know all the information I just gave you.

Slowly, I lowered the muzzle all the way down. Also, the coercive tone of voice was restored to its original state.

“Fuuuuu uuuuu… I told you everything I needed to know. Are you capable of vehicle maintenance? Or a doctor. If there is someone like that, please tell me now. I’ll put you on my team. Only 2 people on a first-come, first-served basis.”

“Ah… That…”

The man held the oil can raised his hand.

“Well, I ran a car center for a long time… “

“Is that so? “Can you come with me?”

“Uh…”

The man looked at the others for a moment. Then he immediately nodded his head.

“Yes. I want to go with you. “I think I’ve done everything I need to do here..”

“Great. All right. First of all, one man. Is there anything else?”

I saw a few people struggling, but no one raised their hands anymore. I didn’t force it. It’s not fate.

“I don’t think there is one. Well then, I wish you all the best. Please prepare for the night and winter.”

I took my uncle outside with me. The man said hello to the people inside and quickly followed me out.

“Well, what is your name?”

“Ah, I’m Lee Do-hyung.”

“Okay. I am strong. Thank you for your continued support.”

“Oh my. Please take care of me..”

“First, we will travel around Busan and Gyeongnam. Is there a place you must go to? “Have a family or something like that.”

Hehe.. There’s nothing… They’ve already left..”

“Is that so..”

From what I heard, it seemed like the man’s family had already passed away.

I think he was just going to follow his family to death at the time, but he was so afraid of death.

“Ah, you came..”

“Huh. “This is Lee Do-hyung, who has just joined us.”

“Uh.. Hello.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Kang Ji-yeon’s family and Lee Do-hyung, who were having dinner, exchanged greetings.

I told them to eat whatever they were eating and then told them in advance that we would be traveling by car starting tomorrow.

“I have all the tools I can use here, and I don’t need to get any wiring. The van over there is my car. I think we can just fill in the gas and start right away..”

“Then let’s leave right around sunrise tomorrow.”

I decided to do that.

For your information, Lee Do-hyeong was very amazed when he saw the magic stone stove. This is because it was very warm within the range of the stove.

“Then everyone, get some sleep first. “I will come out later around 5 or 6, so let’s start working from then.”

“Yes..”

“See you later.”

I entered the base leaving the four people outside.

I guess I’ll get some sleep and conquer the Warlord’s defense and then move again.

Still, since I got a car that I can travel in right away, I think I can get to Mulgeum, Busan, and Gimhae very easily.

If nothing goes wrong, I can go to Busan tomorrow.
