[Strength Lv.13] [Agility Lv.13] [Stamina Lv.6] [Luck Lv.3]

395 Coins, only about 10 minutes.
Considering that the pure battle time with the queen is around 5 minutes, it is not a bad harvest.
However, the amount of coins that went into preparing the propane gas was 942 coins, it wasn’t spent by me, but I still spent close to 1,000 coins, but only 395 coins…
Furthermore, the remaining 6 coins and 200 coins obtained by killing the queen zombie are only 189 coins.
189 coins by investing 942 coins… Damn, it would have been better to get a weapon worth 500 coins…
But why?

“Keah!!”
“Aaah!!!”
“Cheack!!!”

Even now, the zombies running into the flames that sway in the memorial square are burning to death, but the coins do not go up.
I’m sure I made that fire with propane gas, but why doesn’t the coin go up?
Even if you explode butane gas, shoot a gun, or fall from a building, you thought you could acquire coins if the causal relationship was clear…
No, it’s not a thought, I’ve been acquiring coins that way.
What standard are you?!

“I don’t know why. I couldn’t find a clear reference point either. But when it comes to weapons of mass destruction, such as explosives, it is certain that it is very limited.”
“… Do you have mind reading?”
“I thought you might be curious.”
“Fuck… Say something like that!”
“If you had shared your plans ahead of time, you would have let me know. This is your fault.”
“Yes, you are great!”

It’s already over.
It won’t change if you hold on to what’s over and regret it.
You just have to be satisfied with not repeating the same mistakes from now on.
Anyway, a lot gathered.
How many are these?
As if all the people in the shelter had gathered, a huge crowd gathered around us as we returned to the shelter.
It’s probably because of the explosion I created.

“Captain Kim, what the hell is going on? Did something dangerous happen?”
“We have removed the queen zombie that was expected to be in the memorial hall. You can rest assured that you are safe now.”
“Queen Zombie?”

It was only expected, but probably the only people who knew about the existence of the queen zombie were the soldiers.

“Captain.. What did we do wrong..? Why is everyone’s expression… “
“… “

I answered Sergeant Kim Ji-hoon’s question on behalf of Kim Hyeon-jun, who did not respond.

“Because it’s something they didn’t know.”
“That’s what we partly kept secret to prevent unnecessary confusion… “
“That is the problem. Change your position and think about it. If there is a bomb planted inside the shelter that will blow up the shelter. A bomb that never knows when it will explode. But the people didn’t want to confuse you, so they hid the fact that there was a bomb and worked it out on their own. And later, there was this bomb, but rest assured we got rid of it. So you’re going to say thank you? Of course I’m going to scream why I didn’t tell you. And they will question and doubt if there are any other secrets.”
“… “
“Looking at that stupid expression, I guess I understand. That’s the situation.”

But I didn’t expect this situation either.
I thought everyone would know that there might be a zombie queen.
And also the fact that the shelter may collapse if time passes like this.
But you really don’t know anything.
Fuck, I thought I’d be a hero when I came back, but I ended up being treated like a soldier.
That’s not wrong, though.

“Brother!”
“Are you all right?!”
“Ugh..!”
“… What are you doing?”
“What are you doing! I’m ready to run away!”
“What happen? Did the operation fail?”

Unlike the people who gathered to watch, I shook my head at the sight of Min-seo and Kwon Joo-ha, who carried large bags on their backs and carried Kwon Joo-hyeok on stretchers held back and forth.
Of course, it is true that he coped very well compared to the people who came to watch without any sense of crisis, but if he was going to do it, he should have tied Kwon Joo-hyuk on his back or abandoned him to make it easier to move.

“Now that it’s over, take the pig back to the doctor’s office.”
“Ha… Thank god…”
“It’s good .. Then me and my sister will take her brother and go to her house. Please go first.”
“Go with me. Because I’m hurt too.”

Min-seo and Kwon Joo-ha, who came to me saying they were hurt and checked the wounds on their chests, looked at me with sad faces when I said it was nothing, then turned around with a stretcher and I followed the three of them to the treatment room.
The U.S. Army and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as the Ministry of National Defense, which had no contractual relationship yet, wanted to talk with me for a while, wondering about information about the zombie queen and what they had gained through it, but they ignored it lightly as it was the first priority to heal the wounds. .

“I’m in treatment right now, everyone, please leave. Get out!”

Thud!! Click!

After kicking out the soldiers trying to follow me into the clinic, Yeo Eun-jeong walked up to the door and locked it, then came to where I was.

“Isn’t the aunt going out? You are in treatment.”
“I’m fine.”
“I am not okay.”
“More than that, what does a queen look like? What size is she? Please let me know of any physical characteristics that are different from zombies or anything else you just find strange.”
“If you have any questions, go ask Captain Kim. Why are you coming to me when you two are close? Doctor, can you get this lady out?”
“My older sister… “
“… “

Looking at the chest of a female doctor wearing a white coat, she sees the name Yeo Min-jeong imprinted on it.
One is a doctor and one is a doctor… It seems her parents are great people.

“If you don’t answer, I will ask you to treat me in pain.”
“Am I an app? Are you afraid of such threats?”
“So tell me! Captain Kim was called right away!”
“Ah… This lady really bothers me..! Whoa… Okay, I’ll explain it just once, so listen up. It’s the size of a head and looks just like an ant. The sound is keeeee!! What are you talking about? End of explanation.”
“Ant? Why do you look like an ant? It doesn’t make any genetic sense to conceive and give birth to a creature with a completely different form… Does it really look like an ant? Why?”
“… How do I know that, you lady!!”
“Wow!!”

I jumped up, dragged Eun-jeong, threw her out the door, locked it, and received treatment from Yeo Min-jeong.
But the curious thing is that I thought there would be a military doctor because it was in the military, but Yeo Min-jeong, as well as two doctors and five nurses, are all survivors of a civilian hospital.

“My sister came to the rescue with the soldiers right away. So she survived.”
“Ah.. Then I understand. But do you know how many civilians are here? I saw a lot earlier.”
“If you include me, doctors and nurses, there are a total of 248 people.”
“248 people? Wow…More than soldiers?”
“As for the soldiers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff has 211, the Ministry of National Defense has 187, and the US Army has not been able to give an accurate count, but there are probably about 150 soldiers alone. If you include your family, it will increase even more. Lastly, the Special Forces Brigade has 67 members.”
“Are you quite sure?”
“I am a doctor. Since I came here, I have tested each one of them with other doctors and nurses, and I have recorded how many people there were at that time. Of course, what I said is the number excluding those who died during that time. And in the military, the list is periodically handed over to us to identify personnel.”
“Are we included in that number of civilians?”
“Sure.”
“Hmm… “

A total of 244 civilians, excluding the four of us.
If you look at it as a single force, the civilian side has the most pages?
I don’t have a gun, so I can’t unleash great power, but if civilians join forces, the power could be divided into five.

“Open the door in five minutes. Don’t open it right now. Ah! And I was treated well.”
“Excuse me… “
“Why?”
“This is the second floor… “
“Are you okay.”

I went outside through the window where Yeo Eun-jung and the soldiers were waiting to bother me when I opened the door.
Jumping from the second floor isn’t a problem.

Tadak-

As soon as I landed on the floor, I looked around once and started running home.
Anyway, even if I don’t have to tell you, you can just ask Kim Hyun-joon or the Special Forces Brigade.
So, there is no need to bother calling around and making noise.
But what is this again?

“Kang Ha-jin, please talk to us for a moment.”
“Driving me crazy… “

More than ten people, led by the man who asked what happened to Kim Hyun-jun, blocked the entrance to the villa and stopped me.

“What are you talking about?”
“Can you help us?”
“… “

Want help? What is this all of a sudden?

“If you’ll excuse me, I’d like to go inside and talk. Would you mind?”
“… Let’s go.”

Anyway, if we talk here, Yeo Eun-jung or soldiers might come, so I went home with the people.

“Brother, what are all those people doing?”
“Is it the same as a housewarming party..?”
“Households sound the same. It’s not like that.”

When I sat down on the sofa with Min-seo and Kwon Joo-ha, who had arrived home, the people who followed me also took their seats on the sofa or on the floor.

“What do you mean help?”
“We donate 10 coins per person, sometimes up to 30 coins every day. But, like in this case, something is happening that we don’t know about. It’s not just about this job. We don’t know exactly how the coins we took are being used.”
“I heard that the coins are used to buy generators, run generators, repair and strengthen exterior walls, buy bullets, and support food and daily necessities for civilians who cannot hunt.”
“That is something we know. However, the coins we have brought and donated so far are over 40,000 coins. Unlike today, the number of civilians staying here was over 400 not too long ago. In addition, the coins earned by the soldiers themselves must be at a level similar to or higher than ours, but I don’t know why so many coins are always lacking. And I can’t understand why we, who pay so many coins, can’t exactly know the source of the coin’s use, and why we’re excluded from all decision-making.”

Wow, 40,000 coins?
Including the coins earned by soldiers, it is at least 100,000 coins.
If you add the U.S. Army there, it’s more than that.
A level of coin that can create a very monster even if it is given to only a few people.
If I could eat all of those coins…
Are you getting greedy for this?

“So what do you want from me? If you look at it from your point of view, I am just a human of the same kind who joined forces with the soldiers.”
“No. Kang Ha-jin has been here for the third day today. And he caused a stir right on the first day. That means that he is not someone who has been involved with the military before, and this time he was probably requested by Captain Kim or the combat brigade to help.”
“Well, it is. So?”
“Please. Please be our representative.”
“… “

Suddenly?
No, suddenly asking someone you don’t know to be the representative?
Are these people serious? Or are you not thinking?

“Of course, our decision-making will be decided through a vote or a meeting of representatives here, including myself. Ha-jin Kang, as the representative, would like to convey our opinions.”
“So, do you want me to be the pants boss?”
“Precisely, I am asking for a spokesperson.”
“That or that… Anyway, why are you asking me to do that? You can do it yourself.”
“… We… “

I know it just by looking at it
Are you scared?
You can’t directly argue with the soldiers with guns, and you can’t just keep bringing coins like an idiot like this, so please see me, put on your arms and fight the soldiers and find their rights.
Then it is.
And above all, if there is any responsibility, you can leave it all to me, who put it in front as the representative, so I was asking me, a stranger I don’t know.
Then it is.
There’s no way ordinary people like me, who are inherently cunning, hand over all their power to someone they don’t know.
But what should I do?
It’s the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It’s just a contract to take out information on the US military, so there’s nothing wrong with it, but the US military side said I’d be on the side of the US military…

“Hajin Kang?”
“Wait a minute, think about it.”

It’s the pants boss, but I’ll be their representative.
Superficially, it will have similar powers to the representatives of the four military factions.
But I joined hands with the U.S. Army, and I have some connections with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
I have a very friendly relationship with the Special Warfare Brigade where Kim Hyun-jun is located, and the Ministry of National Defense wants to join hands with me.
How come all the power is being concentrated on me?
Hehe… There is no place like this to run away without being greedy and eat a full bowl.
Then you don’t have to worry.

“I see. Instead, I hate the boss. I wish I could be given some authority as well.”
“Permission? What authority are you talking about?”
“It comes together slowly. Instead, I have no intention of making unreasonable demands.”
“… All right. Then, please call a representative meeting tomorrow.”
“Has there ever been such a meeting?”
“Yes, it is a meeting held whenever the four military powers make any decision.”
“I see. Because now we have become one of the five factions.”
“Then, we will deliver it after coordinating our position and requirements by tomorrow morning. Ah! Come to think of it, I didn’t even introduce myself. My name is Hoil Choi. I hope to go along well. CEO Kang Ha-jin.”
“I look forward to.”

After Choi Ho-il, who stood up and shook hands with me, and everyone left, Min-seo and Kwon Ju-ha asked with a puzzled face.

“I heard you made an alliance with the US Army and the Joint Chiefs of Staff?”
“That’s right. Are you even representing people there? What the hell are you thinking?”
“Heh heh… What do you think I’m thinking of throwing up and running away. You don’t know when to run away, so don’t relax. If you eat your back properly this time, I’ll take care of you and that otaku.”

It’s not accurate, but about 900 people including the US military.
No, the number of people who are likely to be more than that.
Even if you extract 30 coins from each of those people, it will be 27,000 coins.
36,000 coins even if you add 10 more coins to it.
Hehe… Can you really do this right?
