204 – Surviving in the Wild # 5
204 – Surviving in the Wild # 5
Morning.
The event headquarters hosting the A-Rank Survival was unusually busy.
It was because of an unexpected incident that occurred last night.
I had roughly expected that three or four people would be eliminated in one day, but the results far exceeded my expectations, with 12 people being eliminated in one night.
This was unplanned.
“What on earth happened? The procedures and ceremonies are fine, so please hurry and explain them to someone… !”
The Prime Minister woke up last morning after receiving an urgent call and entered the situation room, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
The command and control room of the “Ghost Unit” That oversees Ghost Town.
The unit commander, who was being briefed on the situation there, decided to quickly talk only about the main points after skipping the salute and other ceremonies.
“It is said that the district owners raided three A-level teams. Since it happened on the first night, I think the reason for this elimination was that the A-rankers were unable to respond properly.”
The first night of a survival game usually passed without much incident. This A-Rank Survival was also planned to do the same.
But something strange happened.
At that fact, the Prime Minister lifted his glasses up to his forehead, rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief, and asked.
“Even though they are strong with the S-class monsters given to them by the area owners, you said they wouldn’t attack you carelessly as long as A-rankers are on the team, right? “What happened?”
“That….”
# # #
“You formed a team?”
I heard surprising news from Kim Yu-mi, who was out scouting last night.
It was news that semi-S-class monsters, who seemed to be the masters of the area, had teamed up to attack A-class awakened people.
Kim Yu-mi said.
“I saw it clearly with my own two eyes…” ! A large number of teams staying in the “Riverside” And “Port” Areas were eliminated… ! Who would have thought that those monsters would attack together… !”
Master monsters that ruled each region.
According to the information that Do Jun-hwan heard from the ghost unit’s informant, the ‘owners’ each had a strong sense of independence and great individuality, so they did not blend in with other groups.
But last night, Kim Yu-mi said that she saw with her own eyes at “Riverside” And “Port” That master-level monsters were attacking each other and driving down the awakened ones.
“It wasn’t even that crazy! Why, everyone’s equipment and batteries were worn out, they were hungry, and they weren’t in perfect condition! That’s why we couldn’t respond to the monsters’ concerted attack and were eliminated in a heap!”
First night.
There was a high probability that the awakened people could not operate even half of the equipment they had brought with them.
I also didn’t have a battery, so I couldn’t even turn on Miong’s power.
Even though I got the supplies, I was thirsty, hungry, and tired that first night. To be honest, I let my guard down to a certain extent.
From the first day, I had the feeling that something could happen.
However, due to such carelessness, many awakened people were eliminated.
“Was this intentional?”
If it was a semi-S class monster, it was powerful enough to be similar to the ancient dog squirrel I met last time.
Those guys join together to drive out the awakened ones?
I tried to figure out whether this variable was intended by the organizers or not. Of course, there was no answer right now.
“Maybe he thought his territory was threatened.”
The relationship between Kkungkkungi and Kkungkkungi, who were usually the best individuals, could not be said to be very good. Each of us has a strong personality and we don’t bow down to anyone.
However, when there was a common ‘enemy’, we worked together and fought well.
Aren’t the monsters known as local masters similar?
Normally, each person fought over their own territory, but when A-class awakened beings entered the abandoned city, they began to work together to drive out the enemies.
That’s as much as I can guess.
Anyway.
“The riverside and the port have become the area of influence for monsters, right? Then, moving there seems to be more difficult than I thought….”
What’s left is a shopping mall, a housing complex, a power plant, the city center, and a forest here in the park.
It would be nice to just stay in the park forest and eat raspberries, but I doubted whether I could play the game so easily.
Chuck-.
Soon Do Jun-hwan unfolded the map in his arms and spoke.
“I recommend going to the city center. It’s not a game where you have an advantage simply by surviving long enough. “I need to acquire valuable resources and increase my score.”
Score?
From noble mtl dot com
It was an unfamiliar story.
At that time, Do Jun-hwan took out a jewel from his pocket.
It was a jewel necklace with bright red beads.
“One of the reasons I chose “Park Forest” As the starting location was this necklace. This is the necklace that Osa Group’s wife lost in this park during the incident. “Once I learned it, I gained a thousand points.”
Now I see that you can earn points by acquiring various items. The points collected in this way can be converted into ‘money’ at the end of the game or used to ‘purchase’ items.
“In places like the “City center” Or “Shopping district,” There are vending machines that the ghost unit members have installed in advance. “If you use that, you can use your points to buy batteries or food.”
Were you even prepared for that?
It was a moment when Do Jun-hwan felt that the information he had previously known through the ghost unit’s informant was helpful.
In other words, it could be said to be a battle between “Stay still in one place and survive for a long time” Vs. “Go around here and there, acquire items, increase your points, and purchase supplies to increase your survival rate.”
Chorrr-.
Do Jun-hwan took out something that looked like a catalog and showed it to us.
“These are the items you can get in this city. Although the ghost unit has been searching for several years, these are valuable items that have not been easily obtained. Things like the treasures of the rich or top secret corporate documents.”
Oh-.
While I was slightly admiring, archer Kim Yu-mi frowned.
“Do Jun-hwan, you didn’t even tell me this, right? You were planning to keep it a secret from me and benefit from it yourself? Well, I didn’t completely trust you either… ! It’s really too much… !”
So what do we do now?
I thought for a moment.
When silence filled the space between us, Yumi Kim said something.
“I looked around last night and saw that the top ranking team was staying in the shopping district. The elemental team, including Han Ju-ryeon, is stationed in the city center. “How about going towards the ‘Power Plant’?”
Power plant.
A 21st century relic that was completely dismantled after ‘an incident of some sort’, leaving only its magnificent foundation.
I didn’t really want to go there, but I couldn’t expect to farm many valuable items in the park forest.
Compared to that, the list of items that could be obtained from the power plant was quite long.

“Kkeungkeongi, body headbutt!”
━Crumbling… !
The dog squirrel was very powerful.
That’s because Kkeunkkeung was a squirrel that could fight even against S-class monsters.
Since such a sniper received support from snipers, most A-rankers were unable to attack him easily and were defeated helplessly.
“Ugh!”
We defeated “Rock – Kim Pan-seok,” Who was ranked 21st in A rank.
He was a man who guarded a power plant alone and had the ability to harden his body, making it as hard as a rock.
After subduing him, I first asked for information.
“Why are you here alone? “Didn’t you form a team with three other people?”
“My team was staying by the riverside last night and were all defeated by those damn monsters! “I somehow survived and ran away!”
I see.
It appears that no team was staying at the power plant, and we were able to successfully capture the power plant after several small skirmishes.
Nuclear power plant.
For me, it was a place filled with quite a few memories.
A crack opened here and a lot of things ran away, and the Korean Peninsula itself almost fell into great danger.
The incident that occurred at that time spurred the decommissioning of all nuclear power plants in Korea.
It was natural that nuclear power plants would not survive in an age of cracks.
━Zuji… !
At that time, Angangi asked me something.
It was a file with ‘Level 1’ written on it.
It was a confidential document worth 500P, and the points I collected through this feeling were approximately 3,000. Considering that one meal that can be ordered from a vending machine costs approximately 500P, it means that you can purchase as many as 6 meals.
Farming is smooth and survival is smooth.
Is this how the second day ends?
It was time to think about that.
“Hail Island, people are approaching from the city center.”
Chijik-.
Do Jun-hwan’s voice was heard from the walkie-talkie taken from Kim Pan-seok.
I also operated the radio and asked Do Jun-hwan.
“Who?”
“There are three people. One of them looks like Kang Jeong-yeol… , one of them is Oh Deok-su… , One of you looks like Han Ju-ryeon? Some pretty big names came. What do we do? “It seems like they haven’t noticed mine yet.”
Gwareung-!
An intense noise was heard hitting the ceiling.
Lightning struck the dry sky.
“Hey, Do Jun-hwan. “Are you alive?”
I asked Do Jun-hwan over the radio.
However, only an unpleasant, dissonant sound could be heard from the other side of the radio.
It was probably hit by lightning just now.
If I had to guess, Do Jun-hwan was operating an electrically operated walkie-talkie, and his location was discovered by Han Ju-ryeon, and he was shot by lightning.
Do Jun-hwan, this bastard… !!!!
They were originally enemies, but they were still working together well, and I never thought they would retire like this. Still, I guess it’s a relief for him that he avoided last place!
“Haildo! I know you’re here! Let’s make a deal!”
At that time, someone shouted loudly from the entrance of the power plant.
It was the voice of Kang Jeong-yeol, a talented speaker.
They openly revealed their location.
That means he is confident.
“The deal is a complete surrender of your team! Surrender and give us your strength as we fight against the #1 ranked team staying in the “Shopping district”! Then, your rank will be guaranteed to be top! They may be below us! Still, it’s a good deal, right? Because you were originally ranked last… !”
I see.
It meant joining their team.
More than that, as far as I know, I heard that Team Elemental is a team made up of at least four people.
Considering that Kim Si-hyun, who has ice barrier skills, is nowhere to be seen, I think he may have been eliminated last night.
There are three over there.
There are three of us, including me, Jinah Lee, and Yumi Kim.
Six if you include Bangkkungi, Kkungkkungi, and Angangi.
In other words, simple calculations meant that we had a much better advantage.
“Hey, what are you going to do about Hail too?”
Lee Jin-ah, who peeked her head up through her window and looked outside, asked in a rather tense voice. Beyond the window, Kang Jeong-yeol is still screaming loudly.
“Come out until the count of three! If you don’t, it will be considered as if you haven’t accepted the deal and we will also be pushed into this power plant! Three… ! Duuu… !”
The countdown was loud.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally made a decision.
“They were guys I was going to have to bump into at some point anyway. If we’re going to fight, I think it would be much better to fight now when we have the advantage. Everyone prepare for battle… !”
A-ranker Han Joo-ryeon’s team.
We’ll take them out of this battle!
