Chapter 563 – #013. Attack Team 12 Dahee Yoo (10).

#013. Attack Team 12 Dahee Yoo.

I was sure that Dahee Yoo would be an island.
It’s hard to be sure because there’s no clue, but I decided to think it was an island.
Because it’s easier to move that way.

‘… Maybe it can only be an island.’

The world inside the gate is not very wide.
It is because the world is built around the core.

Considering the size of the A-level gate, you can roughly predict the S-level gate.
The assumption of an island was a better idea than I thought.

“Let’s go for now. If you go to the other side of the sea, something will come out.”

Boxes that supply goods are scattered all over the place.
In the case of an unopened box, it was opened by each visible foot.

“… Too much black.”

First of all, you can be sure that black is a weapon.
There are six boxes opened so far, four of which are weapons.
It was everything except for the clothes Dahee Yu was wearing.

“You still found a sword.”

I didn’t get a very useful weapon, but I got a sword.

I wasn’t familiar with axes or blunt weapons, so I had to get a sword as quickly as possible.
That was fortunate news.
Even if the quality is poor, it will show much better performance than an unfamiliar weapon.

“This is written by Dahee.”
“… Yes. I understand, chief.”

He gives a sword to Dahee Yoo, who lacks experience.
I thought that even if it was a weapon I was familiar with, I would not get hurt if I grabbed it.

I still took the ax and went in search.
Dahee Yoo chuckled, saying that it seems like farming our actions.

“…”

After that, I wandered around for about an hour.
Wandering in an unfamiliar forest required a lot of stamina.
Mental strength and fatigue accumulated in real time.

Each step is not easy.
You never know when and where monsters will appear.
I walked through the woods with my spirits up.

As a result, I was exhausted.
My stamina isn’t infinite, so I can’t move anymore.

Growl-.
I’m hungry too.

“I don’t know much. Except for the fact that the forest is much larger than expected…”
“There is a feeling that we moved slowly.”

If I had better equipment, I might have increased my speed.
However, it was not a condition to move quickly.

A monster at the S-class gate in a situation where the equipment is not properly equipped.
If you get it wrong, you will die without moving.

Some of the other hunters may have already died.
Even if you’re an A-rank hunter, you’re not invincible.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and caught my breath.
Because of the strangely hot sunlight, he only looked for shade in the forest.
Even now, I had a short rest under the tree.

Dahee Yoo, leaning on a tree and shaking her back, said.

“How about setting up a base camp first?”
“Base camp?”
“It’s a situation where you don’t know how long you will have to endure. It’s a bigger problem if you move recklessly and lose the year. I think it would be better to make a hiding place and start looking for people.”
“Hmm…”

Let’s endure the time we don’t know how long it will be inside the gate.
Dahee Yoo’s idea was unique, but it is difficult advice for me to accept.

“You never know when the gate will break. The quicker you can finish the raid, the better, but you can’t afford to set up a base camp and find people… I don’t know if there will be.”

The gate may be broken tomorrow.
It could be a week, it could be a year.

Since nothing can be certain, it must be done quickly.
Can’t afford

Dahee Yoo had a different perspective from me.
I think it’s because I didn’t attack the gate a lot.
Newcomer’s spirit? Spare? It was a complacent attitude.

“Chief, can’t you see the timer?”
“… Timer?”
“Yeah. Focus on the upper left corner of your visual field. Then a timer pops up.”
“…”

As Dahee Yoo said, be conscious of the upper left corner.
Then, something that flickered small there expanded greatly.

[179:22:32:44]
“… This?”
“Maybe it means the time left before the gate explodes? Seconds, minutes, hours, days.”
“… So, are you saying there are 179 days, half a year left?”
“That’s what it means.”

Dahee Yu was almost certain.
It sounds like you’re almost right.

‘… It seems so.’

I myself had nothing to refute.
The number 179 is the time remaining until the gate break.
Other than that, it wasn’t a number that reminded me of anything.

“… Even if it’s 179 days, you have to clear it quickly when you think of Japan.”

Depending on the level of difficulty of the gate, the allotted time is different.
Unable to pinpoint it, the hunters pursue a quick strategy.

But even so, data accumulates.
Thanks to incidents happening all over the globe, there is a roughly established database between each country.

From F to C, it’s break and nabal, and it’s meaningless because it clears quickly.
In fact, the gate didn’t even explode.

Class B would occasionally explode in the early days when awakening was just taking place.
The gate is created and monsters pour in between a week and a fortnight.

So, the time given to the B-level gate is 6 days.
Only guilds that can clear within it are given the right to attack.
If it fails even once, penalty points are imposed on the guild master and other hunters.

A-level gates between one and three months.
It can be roughly estimated that the S-class, which is next to the A-class, is between three months and half a year.
So, the number 179 is the countdown until the gate break…

“Even from the Japanese point of view, you won’t be able to come over right away. As soon as the S-class gate is created, the international community will make a fuss.”
“I guess so.”

Dahee Yu tried to convince me.
Let’s create and operate a base camp, that’s the right decision…

“Great.”

You have to attack quickly.
Such a thought is the mindset that the Fire Dragon Guild should have.

I’m just a hunter who came along as a member of the Windwalker Guild.

Keeping Japan in check is what the hunters outside have to do.
We survive for as long as possible and attack the S-level gate.
To do that, you have to endure up to 179 days, so you need to lay the foundation.

That’s the best…

“Let’s start by making a hideout, then.”

Being a hunter doesn’t mean you’re good at survival.
In a remote island, an environment close to an uninhabited island, what kind of hideout should I make?

‘… Is the cave the best?’

A dead-end cave does not need to build a separate outer wall.
If you expand around the cave, it seems that you don’t have to put a lot of effort into it.

“Let’s find the cave.”
“A cave?”
“Yes.”

Take Dahee Yoo to explore the landmarks.
With a different attitude than before, I glanced around.

After I began to be conscious of time, I felt a change in my body.
What should I say?
The basal metabolism is blatantly…

Hungry and tired, the body heated up by the temperature, the water that drained out, and even the symptoms of dehydration that felt light.
I’ll have to get some drinking water first.
I was stupid.

“If it wasn’t for Dahee, I would have been in big trouble.”
“You looked too hasty, chief.”
“Is it?”

I wanted to clear it as quickly as possible.
I had no intention of wasting time in the gate.

If I stay here for a long time, Choi Ji-eun’s worries intensify.
Because that would be really bad for the fetus in the womb.

As her father, it was also his job to give her mother a sense of security.

‘… It can’t be helped.’

It can be caught for up to half a year, but priority is given to quick attacks.
Other Hunters will do the same.

First of all, the hiding place.

“I can hear the sound of water.”

Dahee Yoo, who had been listening, took the direction.
I turned to where Dahee Yu’s hand pointed.

At one point, the sound of babbling water was heard.
When I went about 200 meters, I faced a valley.

It’s not very wide, but it’s big enough for kids to dive and play.
Of course, there were also shallow places.
The deepest part was more than 1 meter, and the shallow part was less than 30 cm.

“Not bad.”

Running water is less polluted.
My body will take care of the small things on its own, so valley water can be used as drinking water.

“Why don’t we build a hideout nearby?”
“… Near here?”
“I might be late while looking for a cave. If you want to conserve energy and relieve fatigue, you have to finish your work before the sun goes down. What if you can’t find the cave? In that case, you have to be prepared.”

I don’t know anything, so I pay attention to Yoo Da-hee’s opinion.
When the light disappears at the S-class gate and darkness comes, can I survive?
You will not be able to sleep properly in a state of tension, how will you feel the next day?

To what Dahee Yoo said, you can find another way only if you can refute at least.
But I couldn’t find any objections in my head.

Opinion that a base camp and hiding place should be made immediately.
No matter how I thought about it, it seemed like the right answer.

“Great. Let’s make it nearby.”
“Yeah.”

Find a place that is not damp.
Just because there is water nearby, sticking close to it is a bad idea.

A distance where you can quickly get water when you need it.
A large leafy location near it.

While moving, he broke off moderately large branches and took care of them.
It was easy with an axe.
If mana was overlaid on the blade, it could be slashed.

“How is this place?”
“… Five…”

It fell about 50 meters from the valley.
Behind the large rock, there is a heterogeneous dug space.
There’s no way a rat would have eaten it.

“The inside is surprisingly roomy.”

Dahee Yoo created magic in her fingers.
Prickly, sparks lit up the space beneath the rock.

It feels like half a cave.
It was a good structure to hide when people entered.

“Not bad.”

It was a cozy space that I wanted to be perfect.
One side was pierced, but that much was nothing.

It seemed that if you hit the walls and lay traps, even if it was crude, you could spend the night safely.

“Shall we go here, chief?”
“It’s fine here. Let’s go here.”

Put down the thick branches you brought and make an estimate.
I have no experience in the related industry, but with the feeling of making a hideout…

We’ve all had that experience in our childhood.

Chop the branches into the soil in front of the rock and weave them.
I picked up large leaves from nearby and fixed them between the branches as if they were sticking them to a wall.

Now that he is an adult and also a hunter, he was not lacking in terms of physical strength.
My stomach was hungry, but my strength was overflowing.

“I’ll sell some of the soil inside. More generously.”
“Yes.”

The interior was also important.
It’s humid and uncomfortable, it’s more unpleasant and difficult than I thought.

“Doesn’t it look like a newlywed couple who came to see a newlywed house? It’s funny that I didn’t come to see it, but I’m making it myself…”

I ignored Dahee Yoo’s words and made a hiding place.
Although the camouflage ability is a little lacking, the base camp that will block the rain and wind has been completed.

Growl-.
“Now let’s go get some food, boss.”

Yu Da-hee shouted boldly, wiping away the sweat.
This situation seemed enjoyable.
