Chapter 50 – How to Survive

* * *

A green zone (safe zone) located in the northern part of Miracle Island.

Most of the survivors were gathered here in the Green Zone, except for a few who were unlucky enough to fall into the Yellow Zone (boundary zone) or, worse, to the Red Zone (danger zone).

“Everyone, wake up! It’s morning!”

By the time Changjae and Seunghee were mining coins in the shower, a group of survivors in the Green Zone were also welcoming the morning.

“Wake up!”

The survivors stand up one by one at the repetitive booming voices.

“Oh, it’s the waist.”
“Grunt. What is this army?”
“How can I go to bed with this?”

It was natural for people to complain.
As for the bed, there was no good windbreak, and the floor was just a layer of large leaves, so it was like a bare floor. The only consolation was that the weather was not cold.

“Yes! To make a proper bed, you have to work diligently from now on!”

A stalwart man who loudly encourages complaining survivors.
Posing as the leader of the group of survivors from day one, he was Cha In-cheol, a former Marine Corps graduate and a senior at a prestigious university.

“Mr. Incheol. What do you eat? Mushrooms in the fruit of the tree today?”

The elder of the women’s group asked as a representative.

“Today, I plan to go into the forest and try hunting. If you’re lucky, you might even eat meat.”
“Hunt? Also Incheol! Because you are strong!”

Excited at the word meat, the woman falls into In-cheol’s arms.
Incheol smiled bitterly and took the woman away.

“If it fails, it will be a natural diet again.”
“Aang! You have to catch it. Do you understand, Mr. Incheol?”
“Yes. We will try.”

Incheol laughed as if he was embarrassed at the woman who persisted despite repeated attempts to pull it off.
And seeing them like that, a quiet dissatisfaction leaked out from the women’s group.

“What do you want to do?”
“It’s so obvious it’s not even funny.”
“I can’t even pay for my age.”

Unlike the men, who ranged in age from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 50, the female group consisted of only young women in their 20s to 30s.

And the woman pretending to be close to ‘Incheol’ is a 35-year-old old maid.
In the female group, except for one married woman in her late 30s, she was the oldest, and the oldest among unmarried women.

Seeing her actively appealing to a young In-cheol in her mid-20s, of course, there were people who thought badly of her.

“Chit. How long are you going to stay like this?”

And it wasn’t just the women who were dissatisfied.

“What’s a young guy doing as a captain?”
“Who are you? The guys who dragged a busy man to this place.”
“No cigarettes, no alcohol, I don’t know how to live.”

The men were accumulating dissatisfaction for various reasons.

Inconvenient beds, scarce supplies, and unfamiliar human relationships.
In this environment where nothing can be satisfied, it would be more strange to have no complaints if you were even controlled.

“Hey, the shower is running out of water.”

A woman who came out of the women’s shower booth said to In-cheol.

“Yes. Refilling the shower booth was 5 coins. Does anyone have 5 coins?”
“Oh, we are.”
“Hey. Why are you here?”
“I’m here, so I’ll go out.”

A woman steps up to In-cheol’s question, and a man who appears to be in her company scolds her.
Incheol made another forced laugh and interrupted the argument, which had already been repeated several times.

“Sorry. Everyone else shared their coins, so please cooperate.”
“Ha~.”

The man let out a disgruntled sigh, but didn’t say it openly.

Incheol turned around with a smile on his face, but he was slowly feeling a sense of crisis.

“It’s embarrassing.”

How long can we control the human groups gathered without any link?
Even In-cheol could have predicted that a crisis would come to them the moment this control collapsed.

“Brother. The number of people is all right, 14 males and 14 females, a total of 28 people.”
“Thank you Inyoung. Great job.”

Even in such an uncomfortable environment, he strokes the head of his younger brother who follows without a word of complaint.
And think. Even if he wants to get his brother out safely, he has to work hard on himself.

* * *

The Yellow Zone west of Miracle Island.
An unusual hat greeted the morning in this place that connects the border between the Green Zone and the Red Zone.

“Mom. When are we going back home?”

A mixed-race boy with western features.
And the person called mother was a tall white woman.

“Noah, let’s be patient for a few more days. Understand?”

Her mother smiled and stroked her son’s head, but she couldn’t quite hide her youthful concern in that look.

“I want to go home…”

My sleepy son whines.
The mother had nothing to say to her son like that.

Noah liked it too when she first came to this island.

Because she was able to be with her mother, who usually didn’t play well.
She had a lot of novelties and didn’t even have to study.
It felt like camping alone with her beloved mother.

But on a remote island with no TV and no friends, it wasn’t easy for her 7-year-old son to be alone with her mother.
Boredom is a stronger poison to a child than hunger.

“Then shall we go to the sea with Mom?”
“No. I’m tired of the sea now.”

It was nice to be next to the warm beach at first, but after playing in the sea for two days, I quickly got tired of it.

“Hungry mother.”
“Hang in there. Her mother will catch her fish.”
“Also?”

A mother hugging and comforting her disappointed son.

“Sorry. When she gets out of here, her mother will buy her something delicious. Understand?”
“… Huh.”

Mom took a wooden spear and came out of the cave.
In front of them was a sandy beach and the endless sea.

“Whew.”

What to do next
Her heart was as barren as the sea.

There was no shortage of food because there was a sea.
I was able to do spearfishing because I usually enjoyed it as a leisure activity.
Above all, the fish of this sea were not afraid of people. One flimsy wooden spear was enough. It was easier to catch than with the proper equipment.

However, humans are not animals that can live by eating alone.
Even if he somehow managed to endure, it was hard to imagine that his son, who was still young, would be able to endure in such an environment. He was worried about being bored, but also about getting hurt or getting sick.

“Sigh.”

Nothing is solved by just worrying. Let’s do what we can for now.
So the mother took off her clothes again and jumped into the sea.

*

“Phew. Cool.”

It was cool because she washed her body clean, and she was cool because she let out what she had endured.
What was piled up on her mother was released to Seunghee. My conscience was stabbed at the very least, but it would be okay since Seunghee liked it too.

“Where is Coin?”

After roughly wiping my body dry, I checked how many coins I had.

『I acquired 50 coins by repeating sex with my sub-partner.』
『I acquired 20 coins by having sex for two consecutive days.』
『I acquired 50 coins by ejaculation.』
『Acquired 30 Coins through single orgasm.』

『I acquired 13 Coins with the amount and fixed bonus.』
『I acquired 136 coins as a partner’s mental satisfaction bonus.』

『Above, the coins obtained from the relationship with the sub-partner are divided in half between the male and female partners.』

『Position: Face-to-face position achieved. You have acquired 100 Coins.』

“Baby.”

After the second time, I didn’t get that many coins with sex. It had to be split in half with Seunghee.

Hmm. If this is the case, advancement will be delayed.
How to increase coins? Should I just try?

“Hmmmm. Hmm… Hmm?”

As I absentmindedly scrolled through my phone, a message caught my eye.

『Main Partner’s Jealousy Lv.2 achieved. Coin acquisition increases by 20% when you are in a relationship with the main partner.』

“… What’s this?”

Did your mother’s jealousy rise? Why? Why?

Why… There was nothing to ask.
The reason was obvious.
Because I had sex with Seunghee.
I didn’t do it when my mother asked me to do it, but I did it with Seunghee.

Coins increased by 20%.
That’s not a small number.
But is it really okay?
Can I leave it as it is, or can I raise it on purpose?

30% at level 3, 40% at level 4?
100% increase at level 10? Is it really so?
I had only an ominous feeling.

“Changjae oppa~.”

I was shaking while reading the message, but Seunghee came out of the shower booth crying.

“Did you wash properly?”
“Yes~…”

Since I had ejaculated intra-vaginally today, I had told Seung-hee to wash her insides well.

“Ugh~.”

Seung-hee shows that she is tired and in pain with her whole body.
I smiled and wiped Seunghee’s body with a towel.

“Good job. What do you want to eat?”
“I want to eat ice cream.”

Maybe Seunghee just said it, but I bought ice cream right away by manipulating my phone.
There was only one kind of ice cream, a melon-flavored popsicle.

“Ruler. Ice cream.”
“Wow!”

When the ice cream popped up in the air, Seunghee caught it while panicking.

“Oh, can I really eat it? Coin is…”
“Eat it because it’s okay. Seung-hee is buying it because he worked hard.”
“Right… I’m in tears for some reason Thank you.”

After wiping away the sniffling Seunghee, I put on my clothes too.

In fact, there is nothing to say even if one ice cream at a time is a fraudulent transaction. The price is only 1 coin.

But when you do work, it’s important to be rewarded, even if it’s small. Efficiency goes up and motivation rises.

In particular, even if Seung-hee earns coins, she has to collect coins because of Seung-pil, so stress can build up. That part I had to pay attention to.

“You know what to do if you want to eat again?”
“Ugh~ Changjae oppa pervert!”

Seung-hee said something reproachful to me, but her face was smiling.

“Wow!”

After slapping my cheeky ass, I left the shower before Seunghee.

Now, it’s mother’s turn.
Let’s cheer up and go.
