Chapter 46 – Shelter Conditions

After confirming my skills and checking the skills of Kwon Joo-hyeok and the soldiers, I spent the night in a villa that was used as a lodging for soldiers, not a large building where I watched movies and played games.
This house is the lodging I was assigned to, but surprisingly, when I was first assigned to this house, the person I was living with was neither Minseo nor Kwon Juha, but Kwon Juhyuk.
Min-seo and Kwon Ju-ha were assigned to a villa where civilian women live, but of course I brought them both after I returned.
After spending the night with the two of them, a complaint came in and I was forced to leave the assigned accommodation in one day, and the accommodation I was assigned was a place where only singles with cold sides lived together.
However, the problem is that it is a short time of less than a month, but unlike us who have lived in an unreasonable world, the relationship between the three of us could not be seen as normal in the eyes of those who have survived safely and normally from the beginning until now.
Of course, I don’t mind that kind of gaze at all, but I don’t think these two are.

“It seems like everyone is looking at us…”
“Of course, sister… I was kicked out after making a noise like that…”
“Ah… “

At Kwon Ju-ha’s words, Min-seo gave her a small nod and started walking with her face down.
So don’t make a little noise. Of course, it was Kwon-ju who screamed more than Min-seo last night.
Anyway, since the two of us screamed like that last night to the extent that complaints came in, the people in this shelter already know the relationship between the three of us.
Because there is no nation in the world that likes to talk about other people’s business like Koreans.

“Raise your head. What’s wrong?”
“But… It’s embarrassing…”
“Everything is embarrassing.”

Snap- Fetish Fetish-

“Oh, brother..!!”
“It’s embarrassing to be like this.”

Whether people were looking at me or not, I stretched my right hand out to the side and rubbed Minseo’s chest, then I slipped into Minseo’s seat as I watched Jooha Kwon turn her head away, wide-eyed at the sight.
Kwon Joo-ha’s goal is to safely reach the shelter with Kwon Joo-hyeok.
That’s why, to be honest, I thought he would reject me even when I asked him to live with me, and I thought he would reject it when I asked him to, but when I poked his side a few times, he pretended not to like it, but accepted everything.
Like now.

Casting Casting-

“What, what are you doing..!!”
“Do you touch my ass?”
“Everyone sees it..!”
“Look and touch. We have nothing to be ashamed of.”
“You can do that with words..! So let’s get this out of the way..!”

Kwon Joo-ha wants to scream when my hand rubs her butt while the eyes of many people are still pouring on her, but she can’t scream because she is afraid that more eyes will pour out on her.
But what’s really funny is that it’s a situation where you can avoid my touch.
It’s not that I’m restraining myself, and I’m not gripping it so hard that if I run away, my butt will be ripped off.
Even so, even now, as if he were trembling, he was shaking his butt just enough to twitch and tell him not to do it.
Is this your preference?

“Are people excited to see it? Good?”
“Muh, what are you talking about!!”

Slap!!

Now, Kwon Joo-ha strikes my hand with the palm of her hand.
I could have done this a long time ago, but seeing that I didn’t do it, I think it’s a bit like this?
Well, since I’m the first guy, he probably doesn’t even know what he likes.
So from now on, when I’m with him, I have to play outside…

“Kuhm..! Im here. You can stay here in the future. You can go to Room 403 on the 4th floor.”
“Hey.”
“Hey..? Did you call me just now?!”
“Yes, you.”
“Look!”
“Don’t be hot and cover your lower body. Are you going to do that?”
“… Omg!!”

The young soldier, who was erecting his cock as if he would tear his military uniform pants, hurriedly covered his lower body with both hands, looked at Min-seo and Kwon Ju-ha standing next to me, and spat out a small curse.

“Fuck… “
“Yeah, that would be embarrassing. But don’t look at other people’s women and set them up recklessly. If you do it wrong, she cuts it off.”
“… “

Gulp-

The young soldier, who met eyes with me, who had been thrust in front of me, swallowed a dry saliva.
Other soldiers might be more angry here, but this guy was one of the soldiers who went to the spawning ground yesterday.
The guy who messed around with the zombie I grabbed his head and knocked him to the floor.
The name…

“Sergeant Kim Ji-hoon.”
“Yes..? Ah! Cohesion!”

Yes, his name was Jihoon Kim.
But at first glance, it looks like he’s saluting me, but the salute he’s giving is not for me, but for the guy behind me.
Who is this guy again?

“Cohesion? Haven’t you been instructed to unify salute slogans?”
“Bar, I got it!”
“Then do it again.”
“… Cohesion!!”
“Are you kidding me right now?”
“No!”

I stared at the old man who suddenly appeared from behind my back and was making a fool of himself, then I looked back at Jihoon Kim and asked.

“What is that uncle?”
“This is Brigadier General Jeong In-beom, policy adviser to the Ministry of National Defense!”
“Brigadier general? One star?”

Jung In-beom slightly frowned, as if my stare at him without saying hello was unpleasant, but he reached out his hand toward me and said hello first, wondering if he was such a narrow-minded guy.

“This is Jeong In-beom, policy adviser to the Ministry of National Defense. Are you strong?”
“Yes, I am strong. Are you Jeong In-beom?”
“… “

For a moment, the surroundings were enveloped in silence.
Of course I know why. Maybe it’s because I was talking nonsense.
No one here would have thought that I would speak ill of Jeong In-beom.
Even Jeong In-beom, the party involved.

“How rude are you right now?!”
“Can’t I apologize right away?!”
“Why should I apologize?”
“What..? You say that now?!”

Two men in the back jump out on either side of Jeong In-beom, glancing at me.
Oh, really…!
If it weren’t for those guys with guns behind them, I’d gouge out their eyes!
Whoa… Let’s be patient for now.
I just need to get everything I can get here and then throw it all over and stand out.

“Why should I apologize? Half-talking? Is there a law in our country that requires respect for older people? And who spoke first? If you want to be treated, act to be treated. Don’t try to get one-sided treatment. What the hell did you learn at that age?”

Whiyu~ It’s cool inside.
To be honest, I’m a little scared that these guys will look at the soldiers behind me and tell them to shoot me, but I can take Jung In-beom hostage at any time the moment I say that.
The moment Jeong In-beom and the three old-timers standing in front of me were glaring at me with red faces, I heard applause.

Clap clap clap clap!

Haha, not like that. If you want to be treated well, it makes sense to do something that deserves to be treated.”
“Cohesion!!!”
“Ah~ it’s okay, it’s okay.”

Another uncle, who had a star on his shoulder to indicate Brigadier General, the rank of Jeong In-beom, waved his hands and ordered Kim Ji-hoon, who had come up to salute, to lower his hand, approached my side and held out his hand.

“I am Lee Sang-ho of the 1st Airborne Special Forces Brigade. Sergeant Kim Ji-hoon over there and Captain Kim Hyeon-joon here are my children.”
“I am Kang Ha-jin. Those two women over there are my women.”
Haha, that’s right. I will make sure that my subordinates do not make mistakes.”
“I would appreciate it if you could. Well, I can handle it on my own.”

At least, this man named Lee Sang-ho has a good idea.
But what kind of meeting place is this? What are these people screaming about?
Two groups of soldiers approached from the opposite side of Lee Sang-ho, who showed up with Kim Hyeon-jun and all the soldiers who had accompanied him to the spawning ground yesterday.
One side is an ordinary Korean soldier, and the other side is an American soldier accompanied by a soldier who looks like a Korean.

“Are you strong? I am Brigadier General Seo Jin-wook, serving the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
“Poop..!”

At the greeting of Seo Jin-wook, who reached out his hand to me, a laugh burst out of Jung In-beom’s mouth.
I was anticipating what words would come out of my mouth.

“My name is Kang Ha-jin.”
“What..? What are you saying now… “
“You spoke first.”
“… “
“Don’t be rude, Seo Jin-wook. It’s only natural to respond in half-spoken words.”
“Lee Sang-ho..!”

Are the Brigadier Generals Wonstein the acting chiefs here?
Only brigadier generals gather.
Of course, it’s a little different for the U.S. Army, which has two stars on its shoulders.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Richard.”
“It’s nice to see you too. I’m Hajin Kang.”

Wow, conversations with foreigners are quite natural, right?
Of course, it’s just a simple greeting, and I don’t know when my shallow fund will run out.
But fortunately, there was nothing to reveal my base.
Afterwards, the conversation looked like a Korean, but a soldier with a good Korean pronunciation acted as an interpreter.

“Hello. My name is James Lee, former commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces Command. Well, it would be more correct to just call it the US Army Command now. Ah! And this is his deputy chief of staff, Major General James Wickham.”
“Nice to meet you. But why did the US military come to see me in the morning?”
“Since you asked, I will tell you directly. Please join forces with our U.S. Army.”
“Uh-huh, isn’t this a place for US troops to intervene? Kang Ha-jin, please talk to us first.”
“For a moment! I was sorry a little while ago. Let’s join forces with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the symbol of the Korean military.”
“The symbol of the Korean military is our Ministry of National Defense, what are you talking about?!”

It’s a mess, it’s a mess
It’s not some kind of neighborhood bully, what are grown up adults doing?

“Eh… Let us go in.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Yes..”

I heard a grabbing sound from behind, but I turned around and entered the villa where I was staying, taking Min-seo and Kwon Ju-ha with me.
What the hell am I saying that all these people will come and take me away?
People like me who have the power of a group that can make at least ten people a day with just a little drive.

“Let me explain the current situation.”
“Why did you follow me? I’m going to be bothered to death in the morning, really…!”
“Currently, the situation here is… “
“I’m not curious.”
“A curious face?”
“… “
“Don’t let it go on. The current situation here is that our 1st Airborne Special Forces Brigade, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Ministry of National Defense, and four non-cooperating armies are stationed here. No, three counties to be precise. The Ministry of National Defense is not the military, it is just an administrative organization.”

Kim Hyeon-joon, who followed us into the house, continued his explanation.
After all, this kid is a talkative guy.
Well, thanks to you, I know the situation here.
Currently, the shelter here has four forces stationed within a fence that surrounds a fairly large site.
The weakest among them is the Ministry of Defense.
If it were a proper society, the Ministry of National Defense, headed by the Minister of Defense, would have the greatest power, but now it has become a world of weak meat.
The title of the Ministry of National Defense, which is just a facade, is of no power.
Next, it is said that all three forces have similar powers, but this is not particularly reliable information.

“Isn’t this your unit’s main base? Then you won’t be pushed out of the side.”
“Yes. What we lack most is personnel, but we are a unit made up of active special forces. The combat power itself is different from the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the US Army, which are just a simple command center.”
“Hmm.. I guess so. But why did you split up? Even if we join forces, it will not be enough. Well, it’s only natural for the top heads to fight for power. This is why the country’s tail looks like this.”
“It’s not just a power struggle.”
“Then what is it? Pack as much as you can.”
“We protect the safety and life of the people… “
“Don’t be mean. Tell the real thing, the real thing.”
“This is real. Our 1st Airborne Special Forces Brigade prioritizes protecting the people. But the Ministry of National Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the US Army are different. They aim to swallow this group whole with each other to form a strong force and rule this place. That is why we cannot join forces with them.”
“Yes, I will. There is a great sense of duty.”
“… “

It doesn’t matter if that statement is true or false.
Until yesterday, except for the first time I tried to leave, I tried to stay here and live a little safer and enjoy a lot, but not now.
Because I changed my mind overnight.
Get the most out of this place and leave.
My goal is to leave after sucking in either sweet or bitter water.
So there is no need to fall prey to power struggles.
Of course, there is a high possibility that either side will be able to suck up sweet or bitter water if they become the central figure of the power, but that doesn’t mean you can’t choose one side ignorantly.
I haven’t yet checked out if I can suck the sweet water from a neutral standpoint.
And maybe now, when everyone wants me, is the situation where I can benefit the most.

“Wait for a sec! But why do you want me It wouldn’t be a big deal for those guys who collect and buy a generator worth at least 10,000 coins to create a guy with the same strength as me.”
“Although the forces are divided, we are defending the shelter with a common force. So, we have entered into some agreements. Collected coins are used in front of the representatives of the four factions. And it doesn’t matter if you get stronger through hunting, but it’s forbidden to create a soldier with monstrous power by driving coins. If you make a move or try to do that, the rest of the forces are bound to unite to eliminate that force. No matter how strong a soldier can be made, it is powerless in front of an army armed with guns.”
“Under… So, because of the power struggle between the top heads, you can’t use a safer way to survive?”
“It can be seen that way, but the cost of keeping the shelter right now is not enough to afford to invest elsewhere. Because this place is full of civilians who can’t fight zombies. Food, clothes, daily necessities, repair and reinforcement of the outer wall, and replenishment of ammunition consumed daily. To be honest, the ammunition is running out, and if things go on like this, this shelter will collapse as soon as the ammunition runs out.”

Kim Hyun-joon with a serious face.
It seems that the situation here, which was thought to be safe, is not so safe.

“We need your strength. To reduce the ammunition consumed, we need to clear the memorial, a nearby zombie spawning ground, and we need your help to do so. However, the Ministry of National Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the US Army have no interest in clearing the memorial. Blowing up the bridge was also done with the strength of our combat brigade.”
“Oh~ You seem like a soldier who really cares about the people? Ah! Then we should blow up the memorial rather than the bridge. Why did you blow up the bridge?”
“It is to avoid causing a situation similar to the Blue House.”
“Is it the same situation as the Blue House?”

What else are you talking about?
