Chapter 494 – [A Guide for Transcendentalists Traveling Post-Apocalypse]

What matters is negotiation. Although the items brought by the Hwasu Merchant Shop were said to be materials for village relocation, if they were not used, the damage would be reduced.

The reward of coming this far is gone, and the collapse of the village is the circumstances of this side anyway, so it is not necessary to cancel the contract, so it is possible to change the contract according to one’s own accord.

“You asked me to give you a fig… No matter how you do it, this is a legitimate contract.”

“I know, that’s why I’m trying to negotiate that part. Couldn’t I have come here just to break my neck and bury it?”

I know my face well.

If a normal person laughs while saying such things, they would just dismiss it as a joke, but if I say this with my stern face, it is no different from a half threat. Besides, this is a place where power rules rather than law. I can kill all the troops at the top of Hwasu by myself, but a guy with his own senses won’t understand.

Originally, good bargaining involves carrots and sticks.

“First of all, I’m not saying I’ll get it for free.

The first thing to give is money. However, the value of one shaman is quite large. It is said that we have tens of thousands of dollars of money, but we do not know what will happen in the future, so we cannot spend all of it here.

So, what I will give is the amount of money corresponding to the supplies for the village relocation.

“Second is the practical benefit… What you want is a connection with the nobility, right?”

“How sure are you?”

“It’s roughly how you keep flirting with us. Taking a step off now is also a calculated part of not wanting to reveal your true intentions.”

“……You seem to have dealt with many merchants.”

“Quite a lot?”

I’ve seen quite a few people who are calculating and calculating. They’re behaving roughly at a glance.

Of course, I’m not absolute either. Don’t they say that they know the hot road in the water, but they don’t know the people in the cold road? If it were perfect, there wouldn’t be a case like Dr. Alien being tricked.

“Personally, I have a relationship with Hwasa Ki-young.”

“……Are you talking about speaker Kiyoung?”

Oh I am With Hwaja Kiyoung Oh! Eating and drinking together, uh!

It’s not a lie. It seems like they are only taking care of each other, but even in the worst case, it is a win-win strategy considering the beans that will come out of the cradle’s facility. Even if I fall into it, the value of the ruins will be great.

If you write a letter of introduction, they will probably like it. For them, aristocrats would be like the king of a small country.

“I’ll write a few words and send it to you. To be honest, wouldn’t it be better for a powerful noble to interact as a merchant rather than a wandering noble who is only strong as an individual? It will be easier to do business if you get to know each other better, at least in the city of Giyeong.”

“Hmm…Okay. Then let’s do that.”

“Great”

The deal is over. We reached an agreement with a letter of recommendation written to the speaker Ki-young and a small amount of money to cover the immediate loss. Now, fig is our child.

“It will interfere with your journey, so I will take care of the survivors in the village for the time being. If you stay here, mad dogs might come again.”

“I’m not a hostage… I’m sure. I’m aware of that. Turning goodwill into debt.”

“Heh heh, the one without original form is the most expensive law.”

I can recommend it to the narrator Ki-young because he has the same sense and ability. If not, why would you write a letter of recommendation?

When I came back after finishing the deal, Ruri was organizing the drum’s warehouse. There were still a lot of people, but with one more person added, it was only natural that there were not enough seats.

“I’m a kid, so it’s okay if I widen it a little, but I think it’s a bit lacking when I sleep.”

“I’m going to go out and sleep. It doesn’t matter whether it’s hot or cold anyway, so I’ll just stay awake.”

“Keuuuuuaaaaa!”

“That’s right, you and I are only standing outside Jinkyo.”

“Anyway, it’s good enough that I don’t have to stay up all night.”

Our ultimate goal is to reach the cradle and build a paradise, but a sub-problem has arisen along the way.

A den of mad dogs nestled right around here. The location of the mad dog’s lair we found out from them is said to be based on a mountain not too far from where we need to go.

“…….It’s highly likely that it’s not just a coincidence.”

“Right?”

“It might be just a den of mad dogs, but that much power and control, and even drugs… No, control might come from drugs. Anyway, the timing is tricky.”

If it was a simple den of mad dogs, it would be understandable.

If it was like that from a few years ago, not recently, I can understand.

However, the fact that they have a base enough to operate drugs, and that they are gathering at this time of all means……. It means that they are related to us no matter how big or small.

I don’t know if I thought too much, but it was clearly letting me know that my senses were related. In fact, it was the biggest piece of evidence.

“The journey is slowly coming to an end. But the biggest obstacle remains.”

“An obstacle?”

“Ah, that’s right. Because you’re here, it’s become a bit of an obstacle. Keueueueu, it was good that we signed the contract then!”

We tried to kill them on the way through the fire, but if they still target us, there will definitely be trouble. Then, you have to be humble.

Come to think of it, there wasn’t much left of our future trip. Even if something happens, it will be over within a month or two.

If you’re lucky, the secrets of this world…

*        *    *

As if it wasn’t a lie that their base was near here, the encounter rate in the desert has changed.

Even though it’s only been a day since he left Muhwa’s hometown, he has already met a group of mad dogs. Dozens of windmills are speeding toward the drum, raising sand and dust.

“Die Lala!!!!”

“Hee hee hee! Kill women and rape men! Oh, are you against it? I don’t know, damn it! A hole is enough!!!!!”

“Let’s eat!!! Let’s bake!!!!”

“Yahhhhh!!!!! It’s a woman! There’s a woman over there!!!!”

“Someone just made a heavy rain?! I’ll fuck you first!!!!”

As I tackled the last one, I jumped right on the deck and kindly slapped the deranged ones’ throats.

Drinking and driving is extremely dangerous, but there is no way that guys who have sucked up drugs can drive a windmill properly. Even when there is no stimulation, I feel anxious, but driving in a state of excitement is like suicide.

Kwaaang!

The sound of the explosion was the sound of two or three people smashing their heads into the sand.

In fact, even modern cars do not explode like an action movie when fuel is not leaking, but no matter how destroyed it would have thought of such a safety issue with the technology here, it would not normally explode, but it seems unstable because it is an item with a stopper added.

But whether their comrades are dead or not, they drool and approach us with eyes glistening with madness.

“The most troublesome things in the world to deal with are crazy people…”

Don’t you think the police pull out their guns first when dealing with drug lords in the US? It’s because crazy people don’t know what to do, so they have to be prepared.

And what about having a burly male nurse instead of a female nurse in a psychiatric hospital? It’s because the crazy people’s physical abilities have been stripped of the limiter, so they can’t control them.

If the madman is a drug addict, it’s a fantastic combo. My fists would get dirty if I punched them, so I roughly lumped together the garbage that came out during the trip and ricocheted them off as bullets.

Toowong!!! Wooow!!!!

A piece of trash that hit Hannom’s forehead burst his head like a watermelon. It is refreshing to see red flesh and brains scattered in the air.

“Hojae is dead!!!!”

“You bastard!!!! Don’t follow me!!!!!”

Fighting! Fighting! Tuwoo!!!

Without replying, he threw the piece of trash away again. It’s pretty solid, so it must have durability at the level of metal, and since I added a little bit of ability to my strength, there’s nothing to miss, and even if you brush it, you’ll die.

Eventually, they only noticed after more than half of them were dead, but it was too late to run away. No, the pleasure given by the hormones released by the brain in front of death is more intense than the fear, so it just runs like dying. Well, I killed it

“They say there will be a lot of these guys in the future, but it’s pretty disgusting.”

“……There certainly aren’t only those guys.”

“Jin-gyo, do you know anything?”

“Isn’t there also work in the town of figs?”

“Ah”

Come to think of it, there is no guarantee that other villages did not suffer the same thing.

At least the villages around here can be said to have been devastated.

“Um…”

Baekhee made a sound as if she was disturbed. Her face is quite shocked, as if what she saw in the Village of Figs was traumatic.

Hagisa, if you are up there, you will only see good things. Even if you look at the dirty side of power, it is a human standard to the end, and you will never see such an inhuman sight.

“If I get the authority of the cradle, I’ll tear all those mad dogs to death”

“I didn’t know you would feel the same way.”

“What, you mean we’re on the same boat, and we haven’t trusted you until now?”

“On the surface, wasn’t he the one who stole the imperial family’s treasure and ran away?”

“The important thing is the kernel! Fruits are usually eaten after peeling!”

Anyway, we continued to move forward.

I had a map I bought from the city, so I didn’t get lost, but I couldn’t figure out what was there in detail. Since the era is like this, honestly, even the map I bought in the city can’t be sure, so the important thing is whether or not there are locals.

Thinking about that, I thought it was fortunate that there was a fig. Of course, Muhwa has only been out of his village a few times, but the storyheheard was enough to confirm the direction.

“I heard that there is a village about 5 days south of our village.

“How big is the village? How many water sources?”

“At least it’s bigger than our village. But it’s not big enough for our villagers to migrate… But I’m sure there are more than 100 people living there.”

“It’s not a big town, but it’s not a small town either”

“But since this child’s town is like that, the town before that was probably…”

A bitter taste arises. This is not the bitter taste of coffee to enjoy, but just the unpleasant bitter taste.

First of all, the five-day distance that Fig said is based on walking, so if you go to Lake Drum, it will take less than two days. Soon we can see a village in the distance and a group of dozens of windmills welcoming us.

A windmill with a stopper, rabid mad dogs, drug-ridden, half-mad eyes. No matter how I look at it, I don’t think the village will be fine.

“It’s been a long time since I was really occupied. Um… Huh?”

“Why is that?”

“No, I have a strange sign.”

It was most likely that he was the chief of this place. He must have known a lot, so he decided to capture only that guy and kill the rest by tearing them to pieces.

There are a lot of them, so why not use authority? Authority is the means I use as the Great Demon King to show mercy and let go without pain. Those who gave up being human have no right to die gracefully.

“Kheuhahahaha!!!!!”

“You were there!!!!!”

“Kill it! If there is a woman, you can do as you please, but if there is a man, kill it! Recover only the excavated ruins intact!!!! I will give a month’s worth of red marriage to the guy with the greatest contribution!!!!”

“Hiyaaaaa!”

“That’s mine!!!!!”

Oh, find the guy in command. As much as he is the owner of the presence I felt, this guy has a clear head.

His equipment was also unusual. Is that the Ganghwabyeong under the narrator Ki-yeong……Yoo-kyung? Anyway, it’s kind of like the full armor powered suit he was wearing.

Kwaaaaang!!!

There’s reinforcements.

“It’s not even an arrow, it’s a javelin?!”

“The hit rate is quite high. Oops!”

The distance is several hundred meters, but the javelin thrown by him accelerates to almost the speed of sound and explodes right next to the speeding drum arc. Perhaps the arrows are also specially made.

If Ruri hadn’t dodged the drift with her flamboyant skills, he might have lost the drum arc.

“Seeing as they’re trying to capture Drum, it’s clear that we know someone! Go Daemawangmon!”

“Should I cry with the demon king?”

“I’ll cry on the bed instead!”

“Sex drip!”

I kicked off the deck and faced them. There is no formation, and the weapons are random, but each one is like a berserker.

First of all, it takes a lot of hands to make everyone a talent show, so let’s break limbs and leave them in the desert!
