202 – Surviving in the Wild # 3
202 – Surviving in the Wild # 3
“Juryun, the surrounding situation has been resolved. The center of the city is ours for now. “This is the tallest building, so you’ll have a clear view in all directions.”
Han Joo-ryeon’s team “Elemental” Joined in the downtown area and cleared the entire area.
Although the “Swarms of rats” Contaminated with radiation and magical power were a hindrance, Team “Elemental” Was a group of highly skilled elementalists, and they managed to sort out the “Swarms of rats” With a level of danger of C rank without difficulty.
“Is there anything useful? I wish I had something to eat? “Do you have anything to eat?”
Kang Jeong-yeol, a person with flame-related abilities and ranked 7th in Class A, asked those around him.
Five team members were rummaging around the building that had previously been used as the headquarters of a game company, collecting useful items.
In particular, finding food came first.
Everyone was hungry after dealing with the “Swarm of rats.”
Five people.
We had to work quite diligently to get enough food to feed all five people.
Still, the “Downtown” Area was rich in supplies, as everyone expected.
Kim Si-hyeon, ranked 19th in the Ice Awakening A rank, was able to find edible-looking snacks and cup noodles in the bath room.
“Guys! “I found something to eat!”
“Hey, this is food from 8 years ago. How do you eat something like this? “Don’t you know that I’m the kind of person who won’t eat Korean beef unless it’s a special A++?”
Kang Jeong-yeol, who had always been a picky eater, grumbled.
However, in the current situation, there was no other way. If you don’t eat, you will starve, and if you starve, you will fall behind.
And if you fall behind… , It was something that could have resulted in his team members being eliminated. Just like a lizard cuts off its tail to survive.
At that time, A-ranker Oh Deok-su, who can manipulate water, revealed his face.
“Oh, you’re lucky. This is a limited edition figure… ! It’s in a display case, so it’s well-preserved… ! If I take it outside, I can sell it for a lot of money… ?”
This building was used as the headquarters of a game company, so there were many game-related items here.
When Oh Deok-su reached into the display case for the limited edition figure, a clanging sound was heard and the smart watch on his wrist vibrated.
「Can obtain + 1000 P when acquiring valuables, surviving and escaping」
“Oh?”
Oh Deok-su was a fairly experienced A-ranker and a quick-witted person. He accurately understood the system where points increase when you find or collect something.
Zek-.
He put the figures he had packed into his bag and covered the watch on his wrist.
He didn’t think it was necessary to share the information he found out with everyone.
Although we work as a team, in the end we are all competitors.
uuung-.
At that time, everyone’s smartwatch vibrated.
I saw some coordinates drawn on the smart watch and an – X – mark marked there. It was a place not far from the center of the city.
“What is this?”
Kim Si-hyeon, a person with freezing abilities, expressed doubts.
Soon, Oh Deok-su, who had a lot of knowledge about various games, spoke as if he were a player.
“Coordinates recorded in the survival game… , I guess it looks like supply supplies? There are many other expected items, but it seems like a common belief that they are supply items… ! You all have their coordinates stamped on them too… ?”
Oh Deok-su’s opinion sounded very plausible and seemed reasonable.
Supply.
It may be that edible food was delivered via drone, etc.
There was nothing more appealing to the A-rankers, who had just had to fill their stomachs with food that had been left out for eight years.
And other teams and competitors will think the same way.
Han Ju-ryun, who had been quietly watching the situation until now, made a decision.
“It is clear that those with more supplies have an advantage in survival. As Oh Deok-su said, if supplies run out, we should be the first to get them. Let’s go.”
Team “Elemental” Moved according to the coordinates. A crosswalk with 8 lane traffic lights located between buildings.
A fluorescent fog was seen rising from the place that would once have been crowded with commuters.
Kang Jeong-yeol shouted.
“Over there! There is a box! I guess it’s really popular! “Let’s go!”
Pod-.
Kang Jeong-yeol tried to run as fast as he could but stopped.
This was because someone could be seen approaching the box from the other side.
It was the No. 1 A-ranked team that was said to have been spotted in a “Shopping district” Located near the “City center.”
“Juryun, what should I do?”
Kim Si-hyeon, an ice-breaker expert, asked team leader Han Ju-ryun’s opinion.
Shall we seize the supplies or retreat?
Of course, the decision was made quickly.
# # #
Gwareung-!
A sound was heard as if compressed air was exploding in an instant.
Why a lightning strike in a dry sky?
“It looks like Han Joo-ryun’s team has started competing with someone else.”
I tried to lightly deduce the impact sound just now.
It was just my guess, but it seemed plausible.
On the first day of survival, there is already a situation where you have to fight with all your might. I thought the first day would be a normal exploratory battle.
What if there was a reason to fight?
I simply racked my brain and came up with several opinions.
“Have supply boxes fallen in other areas as well?”
The coordinates –
The gap between the team that won the supply and the team that did not will grow significantly.
It wasn’t surprising that there were fights over each other’s desire to take over somehow.
“Let’s go quickly.”
I urged Lee Jin-ah to take advantage of the darkness and walk through the “Park forest.”
The coordinates marked near us were on the side of an abandoned lake.
There, I saw something that looked like a container with a fluorescent mist so vivid that it could be seen even at night.
Lee Jin-ah reacted loudly.
“Isn’t that a supply sign? There must have been a real supply! There might be food or something inside! “Let’s go quickly and check it out!”
I was happy, like a pirate who found treasure.
I also felt very happy.
But I also felt like something was going too smoothly. If someone was targeting me for a surprise attack, it seemed like they would do so right before I got supplies, when I was most unguarded.
There is no guarantee that out of about 30 A-rankers, only the two of us would have started in this “Park forest”. If someone had started together in “Park Forest,” They would have undoubtedly come with the goal of distributing it.
With such thoughts, it was time to be on guard.
I could notice something sparkling in the bushes near the lakeside.
“Jin Lee, get down!”
Zek-.
I pulled Jin-ah Lee’s arm and knocked her down to the floor with all my force.
At the same time, we felt something passing over our heads that made a sharp sound.
It got stuck in a nearby tree.
It was an arrow that looked quite powerful as it made a sound and shook violently.
“Oh wow…” !”
My hair stood on end.
Just as I expected, that was the moment when it became clear that something had ambushed us nearby and was targeting us!
And there weren’t many other A-rankers who used bow-type weapons.
「Hit – Kim Yu-mi」.
He was an awakened person who used a spear early on, but after receiving a consultant from Yuari who said, “You are better suited with a bow than a spear,” He improved his skills day by day and became an A-ranker.
According to the rumor, you can hit an ant’s leg from 3km away, right?
I don’t know if it was real or not, but there was no doubt that he was a skilled sniper.
“Haildo! You’re lucky! I was just going to knock it down! The most famous one leaves first and quickly—I think it would have been a cool picture! “Thanks to you, I will become more famous!”
From noble mtl dot com
A loud noise was heard somewhere in the bush.
Because the voice was so loud, it was difficult to determine in detail where the shout came from.
I thought I should first avoid this open lakeside area. If Kim Yu-mi was there, it was obvious that her partner, “Dokkaebi – Do Jun-hwan,” Would also be nearby!
Taaang-!
Then, with a loud sound, something made the pebbles and dirt next to my legs bounce.
A bullet flew.
It was clear that Do Jun-hwan was sniping.
As far as I know, Do Jun-hwan was a guy who was good at things like sniping, stealth, and surprise attacks.
So, it is ‘Goblin’.
“Hey, Hail too… ! What do we do… !?”
Lee Jin-ah asked me while hiding behind a fairly thick wooden pillar.
After she hid behind a rock near me, she spoke to Lee Jin-ah.
“How to do it! Let’s fight! As far as I know, their sniping range is basically over 3km! “If you run away like this, you’ll get hit in the back with a magic bullet and you’ll have to retire!”
It was better to fight.
Soon Jin-ah Lee asked.
“Fight? By what means! It’s completely open here! I don’t even know where they are hiding! We are at a complete disadvantage! Even my abilities are useless if I don’t know where the other person is… !?”
Completely disadvantageous -.
That was correct.
Is there anything more reckless than entering an open field where a sniper is sniping?
But, to put it the other way, it was clear that the other person was completely caught off guard.
Because they have a one-sided advantage.
It would be good to take advantage of that.
Of course, I had a useful strategy.
“Jin Lee, when I yell, run without looking back!”
“What?”
“Now is the time!”
“Profit… !”
Jinah Lee ran as fast as she could behind the rock at my signal.
Save the country-.
Soon, the sound of the bowstring, which was rumored to be made of “Dragon tendon,” Could be heard being pulled taut.
Pishyung-.
A master archer’s arrow ejects like a laser.
It grazed Lee Jin-ah’s thigh.
“Hey… !”
Degurrr-.
Lee Jin-ah rolled on her floor.
It was a desperate situation in many ways, but I was able to roughly determine Kim Yu-mi’s location by seeing what had just flashed.
I just ran towards there. Then, he found Kim Yu-mi, who was aiming a bow in the bushes, covered her mouth and hugged his body with all his might.
“Yeah… !”
Kim Yu-mi was busy screaming silently. She acted as if she was trying to struggle, but I tightened her grip on Yumi Kim’s body like a hunting octopus.

Do Jun-hwan was an awakened person who could hide himself.
He could literally make his body invisible.
Complete stealth ability.
This was the reason why he was called “Goblin” And was able to carry out various espionage and stealth operations all over the world.
‘Not even Hail or your animals will be able to track me as long as I am completely hidden.’
Of course, if he used ‘Stealth’, he also had the disadvantage of not being able to project an image onto his retina, making his vision distant.
Do Jun-hwan broke through the loopholes in such abilities by becoming A-rank and using his newly awakened ‘synesthetic sense of smell.’
‘You can’t see me, but I can see you.’
Do Jun-hwan’s highly developed sense of smell sometimes draws spatial information that is clearer than vision in Do Jun-hwan’s mind like a simulator.
Right now, Do Jun-hwan’s nose was collecting all olfactory information within a radius of 1 km.
‘A-level rookie Lee Jin-ah is lying on the floor over there. It seems like there are no variables. This is going to end more dull than I thought. You just have to be careful of the animals on Hail Island. All I have to do is not let go of hiding.’
Do Jun-hwan predicted that Ha Il-do, who handles animals, would have chosen “Park Forest” As the starting location.
And luckily, the forest was a good place for snipers to hide.
Do Jun-hwan thought he would win the mini-game by defeating Ha Il-do first. If that happens, he will be able to absorb some of Haildo’s recently bubble-like fame.
‘Haildo, where are you? It seems like they are trying to hide the smell, but it is impossible to completely hide body odor. Now where are you?
Sniff-sniff-.
When he thought that, Haildo’s olfactory information came into Do Jun-hwan’s nose.
“There you are.”
Zek-.
Do Jun-hwan moved his gun towards there and completed his aiming and firing in less than a second. It was truly the work of a professional among professionals.
Taaang-!
A magic bullet fired.
Haildo was immediately knocked down by a bullet that flew past the speed of sound.
Since the magic bullet hit him squarely in the chest, it would have been enough to cause him to faint even if he didn’t die.
“Tango down. It’s over. “What, it’s more boring than I thought.”
Lee Jin-ah is lying down after being hit by a bow, and even Hail-do himself was defeated.
Do Jun-hwan moved to personally retrieve the watch attached to Ha Il-do’s wrist.
And only when he arrived at the place where Haildo had fallen did he finally release the cover that had been hiding his body.
Ssyuk-.
I saw something strange in Do Jun-hwan’s vision.
“Hey, profit….”
The thing that was lying on the floor and writhing was not Haildo.
She was Kim Yu-mi, whom he had chosen as his partner.
“What? Yumi Kim, why are you wearing Haildo’s outerwear?”
Pod-.
Haildo appeared in the darkness.
Now I see that the real Hyildo is odorless.
“Maybe you were confused about the smell? This is something that Kukkyung often does when deceiving Kalinoi, who has dark daylight. The person you thought was me was your partner, Kim Yumi. Full of my scent… !”
“Could it be that you hid your body odor with civet cat perfume?” !? This bastard is acting like a fool… !”
Clap-.
It was when Do Jun-hwan was hurriedly trying to pull a pistol from his waist.
━Kkeongkeong… !
━Zuji… !
━Hiooong… !
Animals came out of nowhere and hit Do Jun-hwan’s body with force.
Do Jun-hwan fell down and the animals bit his arms and legs and shook them wildly.
━Crumbling… !
“aaah~! Dog squirrels are so f*cking strong… !”
