Chapter 68 – Heist Setup (2)
Heist Ready (2)
Awesome profit!
An unwelcome wind that welcomes you as soon as you open the closed souvenir shop.
I frowned slightly at the savory smell that wafted through it.
It seemed that Bang Dae-hwa was arranging the corpses he killed yesterday outside by now.
“…”
As soon as I came out in front of the souvenir shop, Goh Goh sighed with a faint smile.
I turned my head and looked at Cha Seol-hee coming out of the room as I was tidying up my clothes, then took another step forward.
In the photocopying room, stationery store, and pharmacy, campers put everything that looks useful into a box.
I walked past them, who were descending the stairs in a line like worker ants, and moved on to the next floor.
“… At the end- catch it well at the end.”
“One, two, three! Kkeuk-!”
Camp members carrying beds that were provided at the health clinic and coming down.
I waddled down the stairs like a duck, sweat dripping from my forehead, and stopped for a moment looking at them.
I stopped climbing the stairs and quietly looked over the procession of camp members who were still busy capturing all the supplies of the student center.
“… They are all men.”
After checking their faces one by one, a low self-talk came out.
“Should I tell the strike leader to call in more campers?”
I hurriedly shook my head at Koh Goh, who asked about my intentions.
If you didn’t like having only male campers, you could just hire female campers and bring them when Yoo Seo-joon and Bang Dae-hwa moved supplies to the library.
But it wasn’t for a very simple reason.
It’s quicker and more efficient to just move supplies to the male campers.
“… It’s embarrassing.”
I groaned and resumed my steps down the stairs.
Thud- thud-
I scratched my forehead nervously as I listened to the footsteps of Cha Seol-hee and Koh Goh-hun.
The conversation with Koh Jang-hoon a while ago resonated in my head.
‘People have increased, but food has not.’
I reiterated the disproportionate sex ratio of the increased camp members.
About 100 survivors of the library camp.
About 70 survivors, more than half of them, were female camp members.
By the way, on the contrary, most of the people who are mobilized to capture materials from the student center are mostly male camp members…
“… Her.”
Come to think of it, this wasn’t a problem that could be easily overlooked.
Of course, the reason why the sex ratio of the camp became such a deformed structure was simple.
Took-! Took-!
An iron pipe tapping on the thighs as a habit even at the moment of climbing the stairs.
Just because I killed all the guys I didn’t like.
Even now, the unpleasantly savory smell that still lingers on the tip of the nose.
He slowly recalled the faces of the male survivors he killed without hesitation at the student hall.
And even the female camp members who saved me just because I wanted to.
“… Did I kill you too soon?”
… Killed men too soon.
I furrowed my brows thicker as I thought the angle to be really fucked while doing my dick was creeping up.
Looking at this scene now, I feel it again, but in a world like this, a strong man is a very, very precious camp asset.
If I had to compare it, I couldn’t even compare it to a female camp member.
In the first place, I kept that fact in mind very well, so I saved the men of the humanities college.
I removed only Seong Jong-hyun, who would become a successor if left alive, and transferred all male and female students to my camp.
Even then, it was the same that the girls cried and cried and wanted revenge, but unlike at the student hall, I completely ignored their cries.
What caused the difference was that, unlike the liberal arts colleges, the students at the student unions crossed the line severely.
However, the situation becomes even more embarrassing when we consider the kind of ‘goodness’ that caused the difference.
In a world like this, are there really common boys who don’t cross the line?
If you kill them based on that line, you can never recover this deformed structure.
There are only two ways.
Either never kill the men and get them all incorporated, or fill the void left by the male survivors with female survivors.
A more fundamental solution would be the former, but as soon as I remembered that thought, I realized a slight frown on my face.
I didn’t like the fact that some external factors fixed my behavior patterns.
There are bastards I just want to kill as soon as I see them, but I have to put up with it?
I really never do anything like that. No, no.
… So, the only way left was the latter.
The time was coming when women campers should be used more usefully.
“When we get back, we first find out if there are survivors in the student center who are willing to apply for the search team.”
“Yes, manager.”
“If there are no female campers to apply—”
I turned my head for a moment and met Koh Goh’s eyes.
“Even by force, one search tank is filled with women.”
“… Yes, manager.”
Koh Jang-hun nodding his head and Cha Seol-hee quietly listening to our conversation next to him.
… Ah.
It wasn’t until I made eye contact with Cha Seol-hee that I let out a small exclamation as I remembered something.
“Come to think of it, are there any women in the seminar room who want to apply for the search team?”
The discipline that was declared to everyone in front of the seminar room on the entire inspection day.
“… No.”
Cha Seol-hee shook her head and answered my question.
“… Not even one?”
“Yes. Not one.”
Her definite answer made my forehead tickle again.
I scratched her forehead with her hand holding the metal pipe and laughed.
… Should I like this or should I hate it?
Come to think of it, I remembered Goh Jang-hoon’s report that female campers on the 6th floor are having something like tea time in the lounge these days.
And there is also a report that Cha Seol-hee reigns as a heavy war mama.
“… You told me to induce it that way.”
Tea Seol-hee narrows her eyes as she sees me scratching her forehead.
As if protesting dissatisfaction, a small smile spilled out of her slightly protruding mouth, and she remembered a female camp member she hadn’t seen very often lately.
“Guyeri too?”
“Yes.”
A female college student belonging to the student council who was quite active and independent.
She reminded me of how she had completely lost her usual lively personality because she had fallen into a quagmire with me and Park Tae-ha.
“… However, it has improved a lot these days.”
Cha Seol-hee’s answer implied quite a few things that I heard when I couldn’t continue the conversation because I was thinking about Ku Ye-ri.
She cut off all thoughts following that answer and nodded her head.
It was inefficient to be involved in everything that happened in the camp anyway.
Besides, I didn’t even want to get involved in the problems of those so-called ‘women’.
“Good job.”
“Uhhh, what are you doing?”
Tea Seol-hee looks to the side, startled at the gentle caress of her face.
She glanced at the old man and pulled her body slightly behind her to avoid my hand.
But even with that gesture, my hand still caressing her face.
I kept stroking her cheek, pretending to avoid my hand, and took her hand away.
Only then did Cha Seol-hee slowly straighten her slightly slanted back.
A smile did not leave the corner of his mouth as he was muttering something while gently avoiding my eyes, which were constantly looking at him.
I turned her head and went up the remaining stairs, still with a faint smile on her face.
On the 4th floor of the Student Union Building where sunlight shines, not lights or darkness.
Thanks to that, I quietly stared at the blackened marks that were exceptionally clear.
Bloodstains and dried flesh on the floor still wet the 4th floor hallway.
And my camp members who go back and forth to the club room, which was the main living space, and search for useful supplies.
A question pops up in my head as I swing around the 4th floor, which has become a completely different landscape from yesterday.
How will you use this student hall?
Even if you wield it again, it was a space that could be used as a base for a camp.
It was also a space that accommodated more survivors than the library, which was my home base in the first place.
However, the student hall was also a space with fatal problems to use as a home base.
Leaflet.
I muttered as I stared at a distorted leaflet with black footprints in the corner of the hallway.
The countless number of leaflets that must have been scattered around the student center without a second hand.
It was a problem in the realm where no one could have predicted how far the flyers would be blown away by the wind.
A dangerous invitation that can invite uninvited guests at any time, like flyers carried by the wind to the front door of the library.
Therefore, there was no intention of moving the base from the library to the student hall.
However, if there are uninvited guests, there are also guests who want to respond to the invitation more than anyone else.
And such guests had a good chance of becoming a stable supply of personnel for the camp.
“It wouldn’t hurt to act as a sort of checkpoint.”
“…”
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a few search crews stationed here every day to transport the survivors gathered at the student center by Yoo Seo-jun.”
“Ah-! Yes, I will prepare like that.”
I nodded at Goh Jang-hoon’s answer, which I perfectly understood, and stared into the empty space where I couldn’t see anything.
With all the seemingly urgent lights out, it was time to deal with the most important problem.
Tring-!
[Remaining points: 150]
The remaining points accumulated enough to make you feel full just by looking at them.
As always, I started putting points where I needed the most investment.
My ability that I couldn’t coolly drive out the ability inside the body of a female college student in the dance department.
Tring-!
[Partial Incompetence Lv.2 -〉 Partial Incompetence Lv.5]
[90 points are consumed for skill level up.]
[Remaining points: 150 -〉 60]
Tring-!
[Achieving the target skill level unlocks the first specialization for your exclusive skill.]
[Select the specialization of the tyrant-only skill ‘Partial Incompetence’.]
[One. Partial remaining]
[Your incompetence will remain in the world for a little longer.]
[2. Partial amplification]
[Your incompetence will color the world a little stronger.]
“…”
As always, the letters that focus all the nerves in the world to read.
I quickly rolled my eyes up and down to peruse the messages once more.
Partial retention and partial amplification.
Persistence and amplification.
“…”
For the first time, I didn’t have to spend a lot of time choosing a specialization.
As soon as I saw the two branches of partial incompetence, I was already full of ways to use them in my head.
Tring-!
[You have selected ‘Partial Survival’ as the specialization of the Tyrant’s skill ‘Partial Incompetence’.]
[Partial Incompetence Lv.5]
[You are the lord of incompetence.]
[Your incompetence will remain in the world for a little longer.]
[Applying Specialization: Partial Residency (Always Hide)]
This wasn’t the end.
I moved my gaze to the stats located at the top of the status window.
[Intelligence: 10 -〉 20]
[Remaining points: 60 -〉 10]
Ugh-!
The kingship that beats inside my body more clearly with the increased intelligence.
I stared at the ceiling, opened my languidly closed eyes, and stared straight ahead.
A camper came out of the club room and went down the stairs with a delivery box.
Took-!
“And, manager.”
He was startled by my hand holding the camper’s shoulder and stopped walking.
I pulled out one of the soju bottles filled in the courier box he was carrying.
A green soju bottle in my hand, making a rattling and glass-clashing sound.
I gently placed my right hand on the mouth of the soju bottle.
Ugh-!
The kingship that operates with a much clearer tone than before.
The royal authority shining brightly in my right hand flowed slowly into the bottle along the mouth of the soju bottle.
Even in the original color green of a soju bottle, a brilliant golden color that completely exudes my presence.
The eyes of all the campers on the 4th floor were focused on the soju bottle at the sudden mysterious sight.
I quietly withdrew my right hand, which had lost its royal power, and held out my hand.
Camper, who just widens his eyes at my gestures, and Koh Goh, who hurriedly runs into the hallway.
Koh Koo Hoon picked up a soju bottle cap overflowing from the floor and hurriedly placed it on my hand.
I turned the cap of the soju bottle and closed the opening tightly.
His tail is already sticking out, indicating that the opening has been completed, but he had no intention of sealing it completely anyway.
I roughly confirmed that the lid was no longer turned, and the royal authority that was still shining inside the soju bottle, confirmed my incompetence.
Ugh-!
A golden royal crown that echoes through the bottle and clearly expresses my presence.
However, because he was the master of the mystery, he had a sense of knowing.
Little by little the bright beam of light was diminishing.
Knock-!
I opened the lid that I had put back quite tightly and touched the mouth of the soju bottle to the arm of the camper standing in front of me.
“…”
Camp One flinches at the suddenly approaching bottle of soju, but does not avoid it.
The camp member’s arm was imbued with the royal authority that flowed from the mouth of the soju bottle.
Ugh-!
Partial incompetence that slowly fades after shining his arm.
It was definitely a degraded light rather than the incompetence I had injected myself, but it was clear that the partial incapacitation had worked on Camp One’s arm.
Dalgrak-!
The green soju bottle rattles back into the box.
Koh Koo Hoon hurriedly patted the back of the camper who was just standing still, not knowing what to do.
I was still staring into space despite the sound of the camper’s footsteps going down the stairs again at his touch.
The kingship in the soju bottle still lingers in my pupils.
It was a skill that I had always wanted so much, so I didn’t have a moment’s thought about choosing a specialization.
“… At las.”
A faint excitement leaked out from the short muttering.
I am finally freed from being a babysitter for the search and strike teams.
Of course, there is still a huge threat of mutation, but the most feared thing in the world right now is none other than ‘infection’.
An unreasonable retirement where even a very trivial attack should turn you into a zombie.
It was self-evident that the survival rate of survivors would rise very rapidly just by preventing the terrible infection.
Ugh-!
I looked down again at the partial incompetence rising through my hands.
The kingship that can now remain in the world for a certain period of time according to my will.
Now I was able to mass-produce a kind of copy item of ‘infection cure’.
The absurd retirement of combat teams is no longer possible in our camp.
So- now was the right time.
“… Gojaya.”
“Yes, manager.”
“So you can last for a total of a few days with the food we have?”
In response to my question, Gao Hoon hurriedly took out his notebook from his pocket.
“… If you combine the food you stockpile with the food you can consume again with the use of a refrigerator and microwave—”
His eyes roll up and down nonstop while picking up something with a ballpoint pen.
“This is enough to last for about 10 days.”
10 days.
“… It’s ambiguous.”
During that time, it may be possible, or it may not be possible.
“Come on—the manager.”
Koh Goh’s question flows quietly into the self-talk that continues with a frown.
“… If you say that it is possible or not, what is it-“
It was a very unsuitable question for Koh Jang-hoon, who had shown a ghost-like mind until now.
That would mean that my words were out of the blue.
I turned my head and smiled lightly at Koh Goh, who was watching me carefully.
Starlight-like eyes quietly looking into my eyes next to Goh Goh-hoon.
“I feel like the time has come to keep my promise.”
Her pink lips parted in a daze at my words, and a faint smile appeared on them.
The impostor I killed and another impostor still in the university.
Looting has become a necessity rather than an option in the current situation where farming and livestock breeding are impossible.
From now on, only the moment to run very fiercely remained.
So, before you run without looking back—
First, we need to move the precious jewels to the safest vault.
“I have to bring Cha Hayan to the library soon.”
In any way-
Certainly.
