Chapter 1280 – [Eventful Summer]
Eden cooked for the castaways himself. Anyway, thanks to Eden, there was no need to worry about running out of food because the ingredients were overflowing and if there was a shortage, all you had to do was catch them and cook them.
But you have to think carefully, just because Eden is good at catching fish doesn’t mean he’s good at catching fish. If so, I wouldn’t have been bruised for hours trying to catch a shark.
The reason why Eden catches fish well is because of the fish that flock to him thanks to his natural affinity. It is difficult to compare Eden with other people.
Anyway, I cook for the people in distress, and I start by serving things that are cooked relatively quickly.
Thanks to my breast milk, I don’t have to worry about malnutrition or sudden eating problems. It was because after drinking a few sips, my condition was restored to the point where I could eat even though my condition was not perfect, so I was able to eat normally.
“First, I served the grilled fish. Sashimi will be difficult to digest in the current situation, so eat the grilled fish first.”
“Thank you, really, really, Goddess…”
“Your body is full of vitality……And even your appearance. You really must be the goddess of the sea……”
They didn’t know her when she was in the safe zone, but now that she was showing her face, she was Eden and was revered by them as a goddess.
No, she’s suddenly pissed when Eden sees it and says it’s God. It’s usually a compliment, but from my point of view, I hate God, it sounds like an insult.
“I’m not in a good mood either.”
“Come to think of it, you must hate God because of the church.”
“In that respect, I’m the same as the devil.”
Still, a compliment is a compliment, so let’s take it as a compliment. Don’t say anything with it
“Are you the representative of these people? Which clan’s dexterity?”
“I-we belonged to the stingray clan”
“Ah, there. I heard that the situation is bad, but did you even send Ki-min… Write”
In the middle of the sea like this, just floating a boat without any other equipment and sending it for a ride is just saying to die.
There must be a fear that comes out of it because it only entrusts itself to the ocean current and goes to an unknown place…. As I kept hearing, there was no desalination device for water, but it was rainwater and drank it.
After hearing their stories, we discussed what to do.
“What are you going to do?”
“It would be meaningless to take them back to their clan. It happened because of the lack of food, and the fundamental problem hasn’t been solved, but even if I try to take them back, it will only break down in the end.”
“That means you can’t go back.”
“It can’t be helped. That method isn’t the best anyway. I’ll introduce it to the Sunfish Clan first.”
Because I was well prepared for the trip, Neo Drum had various spare equipment. Install some of the spare equipment they had on their boat.
Desalination units, solar power generators, radars and even propulsion propellers. Even that much would not be a problem for sailing.
“I can’t even give you weapons. Weapons are important to us too.”
“You help me this far, but I can’t hope for that much. Thank you very much though.”
“It’s the Sunfish Clan, I’ll give you a location there, so go find it. At least you won’t starve.”
“Yes, if I see you later… I will repay this favor.”
“I wish I could see your face again”
It even provides some food. Eden caught a lot of fish, so they didn’t have enough to eat for a while.
It’s not that far from the Sunfish Clan anyway. We also rode the ocean current for a few days, and it will take the same time to return. We have enough food and equipment, so we can go there.
“Then see you next time!!!! On this wide sea someday!!!!”
“Yes, thank you very much!!!! Goodbye, benefactor!!!!”
“Thank you Goddess of the Sea!!!!”
“Thank Goddess!!! Thank you so much!!!!”
That’s how we parted with the castaways. It would be irresponsible to just give them equipment and food and tell them to go on their own, but they did everything they could.
In the first place, we also have work to do, but I don’t want to waste that time helping others. It may be heartless, but the original world is a daunting law to live alone. Besides, people who don’t have anything got it for free, but in this world, it’s not strange even if we hear Hogu.
“I prepared a lot of food, so I won’t starve.”
“Our Eden seems to be like that”
“It?”
People from the Choi family have altruistic values that they value more than their own lives.
Even for me, it was Zion, Gilhyun, and all the people in the world. Choi Kang-in, one of the seven great wizards, is one of the seven wizards, and like children, the people of the Choi family risk their lives.
I think the last one is a bit strange, but this kid is surprisingly sound. A lolicon is a lolicon, but apart from that, a kid I saw for the first time almost died in an accident, so I threw myself in and died instead. If you look at that, you can see that he really risked his life.
I didn’t fight to death with Warlord because Shion was hanging on me too. If Zion was taken away, even if I lived, I would not have lived, so of course I had no choice but to do it.
And I thought Eden would have it too. It seemed that I knew roughly what it was because of this incident.
“Eden, you don’t tolerate hungry people.”
“It’s sad when you’re hungry”
“It’s not like that”
Eden likes to eat alone, but it is in that context that he prefers sharing. If you share, the other person will eventually be full too.
Anyway, it is Eden-like values. Does he like to eat, so he can’t tolerate being hungry that much?
On the one hand, I’m worried. With such altruistic values, it would be easier for Gilhyun to solve the problem than him, but in the end, he couldn’t help but help others. If possible, I should teach him not to become a hogu (hero).
“The devil must also suffer. I’ve heard of the fate of the Choi family, but if you think about it, wouldn’t Eden go through a lot?”
“It’s not just that there are flaws. That altruistic sense of values creates tenacity and determination, and it will lead you to a higher level.”
“Well, is that why the Choi family was a prestigious family?”
There are three major dimensional elites. The Ryu family, the storyteller family, and our Choi family. I’ve talked about it often, so those who know will know.
The characteristic of Ryu’s family is that he is just a spectator. Either way, the level of talent is high. Excluding the absolute parents line, seeing that the average of the children is higher than the load, the irrationality of the spec is felt.
The characteristics of the storyteller family are excellent brains and absolute memory that are given instead of poor physical abilities. The memory that does not forget what it has seen once becomes knowledge and power.
And the last characteristic of our Choi family is the selfless values I just mentioned. Just as Gilhyun became a great hero to save people and I rode Jojo to protect Zion, the will that comes from that value goes beyond the limit.
So, if you ask who is the top among the three, I can’t say, but personally, my family is the best. Talent is good if you are born with it, but how can you not have a will?
“Maybe if you ask people from each family, they’ll all say they like their family.”
“It can’t be helped. I think crayfish are on the side.”
“……Oh, Dad. I suddenly want to eat crab.”
“If my daughter wants to eat, I have to do it.”
Tonight’s dinner is crab!!!!
* * *
After that, the voyage was pretty smooth. Sometimes huge fish were caught, but they were all caught and made into sashimi.
Sometimes big is not tasty, but we have Eden and I can cook anything delicious, so the bigger the better. No matter how big they caught, Eden would eat them all in a day or two.
“Seafood Mushroom”
“If it’s delicious for you, it’d be nice. I’m tired of fish. I want to eat meat, so meat!!!!!”
Ruri, who had only eaten fish all her life here, bruised Eden. Because Eden gets tired of it and if he eats something delicious, he’s good at it.
“Isn’t there meat in a safe zone?”
“Cows and pigs are rarely seen, but chickens are almost always found in large safe zones. You can eat chicken as long as you have money.”
“Did you say you were running a chicken farm?”
“That’s right, chickens are relatively easy to raise compared to cows and pigs. You can also get eggs.”
“The place we’re going now must be a large safe zone like that.”
The safe zone of the Sunfish Clan, Ruri’s hometown, was a medium-sized one if I had to put it into perspective. If you look closely, it’s about the middle size among medium-sized ones.
He said that large-scale safe zones are different from the scale itself. There are places that call themselves countries, and there are also safe zones at the level of small cities.
“Once I go, I’ll eat meat first, even if I spend some money.”
“Five!!!!!”
“……Wait, meat is expensive, but isn’t Eden going to lose money if he eats it?!”
“Anyway, if you sell fairy tears, you’ll get a lot of money. If the Sunfish Clan sells them for a thousand per bottle, can’t they get more from them?”
“That’s true. I think I can get at least twice as much.”
The more people there are, the more money they spend, the more money they spend. It is only natural that it would be more profitable to sell at a large safe zone than at a sunfish clan. Especially if it’s a luxury item.
Eden has to sell some fairy tears there to help pay for food. We need something to drink too, but we pile it up and drink it when we go back anyway, and Eden brought in a lot, so there’s plenty to spare.
………No, how much alcohol did Eden bring with him?
“Ah, I can see it soon. See that tower over there? That’s the Sawfish Clan’s safe zone.”
At Ruri’s words, we looked out the window. And in the distance, a large safe zone the size of a small island stands out.
Steel structures without rules that seem to have been glued together. Even the exterior of the building, corroded by the sea wind, has not been painted with anything extravagant. It is very different from the sunfish clan that lived on the boat.
The most notable among them was the tower rising in the middle of such a safe zone. It’s not that there aren’t tall buildings or anything like that because steel structures were built, but those were different heights. It’s roughly the size of an apartment building on dozens of floors.
“Oh, it’s quite high. Considering the technology here, it would be difficult to make something like that. Maybe it’s a legacy from before the Great War?”
“That’s right. That safe zone itself was built on the basis of a floating city built before the Great War.
“A full-fledged city would be bigger, right?”
“It’s very big. I heard that before the Great War, there were floating cities the size of Seoul. But now that size has been blown away by the war, and all that remains are small cities.”
“Where is that left?”
But I wonder if that will last long. No matter how state-of-the-art technology is used and facilities are equipped for long-term use, the facility eventually wears out if it is continuously used in a situation where there is no technology to maintain or repair.
A post-apocalyptic world that only consumes the remaining resources. I really want to know what people will do when this city is old and collapses.
Well, that’s not what I’m thinking about. Anyway, there will be quite a bit of time left.
“That’s the entrance. Anyway, there are quite a few people.”
“If you see a lot of bad-looking people, aren’t the astute people flocking to you like the castaways you saw last time?”
“It seems so”
The people we met don’t seem to have made it here, but it seems that some of the others are lucky enough to have made it here.
Thanks to that, I wonder if it will take time to enter, but the entrance is different. Thanks to that, it was possible to enter a place where only visitors could enter separately.
“Because there are more people here, be more careful not to show your face”
“Why do you have a feeling that there will be trouble?”
“Doesn’t that mean that when the devil says something like that?”
We came this far, but we couldn’t just go there, so we prepared to enter through the management office here.
They ask a lot of questions similar to entering the country. There’s a luggage inspection, but it’s something to sell anyway, so there’s nothing unusual about it, so there’s no room for trouble with it.
“Where are you from? What is your purpose? What clan do you belong to?”
“I’m from the sunfish clan. My purpose is to replenish equipment and food and sell things. I’m a no-marker with no clan.”
“It’s a no-marker… It’s not dexterity, right?”
“Have you seen Ki-min riding on such a sleazy boat?”
“Hmm”
The guard and Ruri spoke in Chinese. Since this is an earth-based world, there may be familiar languages, but it seems that this is a place where Chinese influences remain.
“I don’t have many good memories of China.”
“Mister, no matter how much you do, don’t mess with it yet and bear with it.”
“You say it as if you can do it later.”
“You can do it if there is a problem”
Then, the guard gave Mary and Eden a glance. Then he said with a chin gesture to the two of them.
“Reveal your face. We’ll have to verify your identity before you go in. He could be a wanted criminal.”
“Write”
“Why is that? Is there any reason why you shouldn’t show your face?”
Other guards around him sneakily pulled out their air spear guns. If they make a mistake, they will shoot at any moment.
Their actions are also understandable. It’s not for nothing that American cops shoot their opponents when they do something strange, because in a world like this, no one knows what to do.
“Okay, take it off for now”
When Ruri said that, Mary pulled up her hood first. Her pretty blonde hair and good looks are revealed.
The guards admire her appearance. Since she is a rare beauty, attention is pouring in.
The guard who was interrogating us smiled strangely and understood that he covered his face.
“Well, since you have a look like that, it’s worth hiding it. Then what about that one?”
This time it was Eden’s turn. And as Eden pulls on her hood, there is a moment of silence.
If Mary is a rare beauty, Eden is a dimensional beauty. Her pretty silver hair, her beauty inherited from Shion, overcomes Hanon’s flaw, her expressionless face, and reveals her emotions, giving her an innocent and pure feeling.
As soon as you see her, you can feel that the class is different. Moreover, in this world like now, her good looks shine a lot.
“Hello?”
“Yes? Ah, yes, hmm, big……!!!”
As Eden greeted her, her guards cleared their throats and came to their senses. On top of that, her way of speaking has also become a bit more polite than half-speaking.
Thanks to Mary and Eden being pretty, I wanted to make entering and exiting a little easier… But human greed sometimes crosses the line.
“Hmmmm!!! First of all, I’ll conduct a body search separately before coming in. There are often people who come in to bring something strange.”
“Body search?”
One argument to endure is engraved on the head. If it was a procedure, I would accept it, but considering the lustful gaze in that bastard’s eyes, it wasn’t a procedure, it was just because I had a dark mind.
Eden stopped me with a wink. Then take off her hood to show her inside.
Solvent Eden’s liquefaction suit given to him as a birthday party gift. It clings to the body, exposing the body, but functioning like a full-body swimsuit. It’s convenient and convenient, but it’s good because it’s an item with great defense, but it attracted the attention of the guards because of the fact that the body is exposed.
Especially on Eden’s chest or buttocks… Oh, Mr., It’s fucking annoying. Let’s engrave two arguments for patience.
“I don’t think there’s a need for a physical examination with a swimsuit like this, isn’t it?”
Because it is attached to the body, it will stand out if you try to hide something. So there is no need to do a body search.
However, those who have already decided on an answer will not change it no matter what they do. The guard said with an even more sinister expression.
“Don’t you know? Maybe you can put something in a place where only women can hide it and bring it back… So I’m going to do a separate inspection over there, so come with me.”
By that time, Ruri was not standing still. No, if Ruri hadn’t stepped forward, I would have twisted that bastard’s neck right away.
Rather, Ruri might have stepped out because she knew that. Even if I have trouble, I can fix everything, but it’s better to not have that trouble if possible.
“It’s okay. Eden, there’s no need for that. It’s dirty, so I won’t go in. It’s better to just go find another safe zone.”
“Just to go? Supply?”
“It’s okay because I have some spare time. I act like this, but I don’t want to go all the way in at the cost of insulting my colleagues.”
We decided to go back no, I was going to Until they stop us.
Those who already had dark hearts couldn’t let us just go back. He would hold on to it no matter what excuse he had and try to fulfill his desire.
“Are you refusing to be inspected right now? Suspicious.”
“People who don’t like it have to leave. We’re leaving because we don’t like checkpoints. What kind of meddling are you? It’s up to you to decide where to go from the sea.”
“Couldn’t he be a dangerous person? We’ll need to interrogate him… What are you doing!!! Hold on!!!!”
Before long, they raised their air spearguns and pointed them at us.
I wonder if the premonition of trouble was what he was trying to say… And at that point, Eden and Ruri looked at me to see if they had no intention of protecting them.
“From now on, it’s my turn to do what I do best.”
In the post-apocalypse, there are things that work best in any place.
That’s the logic of power.
So, I’ll use my power to rip up the fucking bastards who were messing with Eden and turn them into fish food!!!!!!
