I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel chapter 100

100 – Trade

The destruction has broken the social system itself.

Zombies suddenly appeared everywhere.

A quest that seems to have been made to kill and rob people.

These two things came together to make people repeat plunder and murder.

That certainly isn’t the right thing to do.

There is a reality in which you have to kill others in order to live.

Even if I starve to death, no one cares.

Even if they are killed, no one wants to punish them.

It was already hard to even call it a society.

In such a broken world, the hardest thing for people was hunger.

Zombies can be avoided somehow, or even defeated if you’re lucky.

But no matter how strong you are, you can’t live without eating.

Naturally, food has become the most important resource.

It goes without saying if it is a group of many people.

Hunger sharpens people.

After some degree of adaptation to extinction, people realized that they had to secure food first.

The current human production system that originally existed has also collapsed.

People obtained food in a variety of ways.

I plundered other people, rummaged in supermarkets, etc., And sometimes raised something myself, even if it was a small amount.

Among them, there was a way to purchase food from the ‘destruction store’.

The Haeundae group, which is in the midst of a quest to kill zombies, was one of those who made the best use of this.

To be precise, should I say that the representative of the place used the coin efficiently?

“Is this enough for today?”

“Yes, thank you as always.”

As I answered, I looked at the food in front of me.

Carbohydrates, such as potatoes and rice, where most of the calories are easily obtained.

There are ingredients including meat and eggs.

Lastly, some vegetables and fruits.

It’s hard to say it’s abundant even with empty words, but it’s enough for the Haeundae Group to live.

In addition, there are not a few food items obtained through searching nearby marts, hunting or fishing.

Of course, I can only sigh when I think of the coins used to buy this.

In the perish shop, food is particularly expensive.

Thanks to the fact that I bought the raw ingredients as they are, this amount is enough.

Real ‘cooking’ doesn’t even go wrong.

I was fortunate that this was an environment where I could cook.

Anyway, the labor force is sufficient.

In a world like this, even cooking can be a kind of pleasure.

If you bring it to me, they will be happy to make it.

“Payment with common coins this time?”

“You don’t even have to ask anymore.”

“Well, that is true.”

Half of the coins obtained during this war quest go into public coins.

The number of coins each individual earns is small, but the number of people is a number.

If you collect that too, it becomes a fairly large amount.

I didn’t even steal the other half of the coins.

Because I know that if I take even that from the people fighting on the front, there will be considerable dissatisfaction.

Nevertheless, there were many people who voluntarily put their coin in, asking them to use it as a public coin.

This is because major players such as Yumina, Kim Eunbyeol, and Noh Kyung-kyung voluntarily donated all their coins, so they don’t have any coins at all.

Simple to say, but hard to do.

For some reason, you cannot receive the support of the Godhead here.

Even if you could get it, it wouldn’t be much of a coin for normal players here to earn.

Anyway, there is no way to earn coins unless you defeat zombies.

It’s a different story if you go outside the area and hunt.

The only ones who dare to take risks and go so far are Yuri and Jihoon.

“Yes, then the value is correct. I got it right.”

“……We don’t even know each other, can you cut it down a bit?”

“Haha! Because it’s our store’s rule not to overcharge. The Haeundae Group, which you are the representative of, will not run out of food anyway.”

I turned my head slightly to avoid the hatter’s eyes staring at me for the first time.

This guy is pretty awkward.

It’s not that I’m particularly scared.

Bound by the system and probability of destruction, he knows that he can do nothing to himself.

But if you know what power he hides behind, you wouldn’t dare look down on him.

What kind of scheming and sinister lies behind that hat?

I didn’t want to know, nor did I want to be involved.

Those piercing eyes are even uncomfortable.

“But when you bend your pride and shave like this, it must have gotten pretty tough, right?”

“……I made a mistake. Pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“It was unfortunate for me. After this quest is over, you lose a good business partner.”

There was even a hint of ridicule in that tone of not regretting it at all.

Maybe it’s because they’re on the edge of a precipice.

Unknowingly, he glared at the hatter.

Of course he didn’t even care.

From the first time he started this trade, he who knew everything in this world had completely lost interest in himself.

“Isn’t it too early to judge?”

“Hmm, how long do you think this quest will last?”

“…Until Lancelot collapses.”

“I don’t think it’s that far away.”

The hatter’s tone was extremely flat, and it was the same as before.

As if he knew the end of this story.

As expected, it’s XXX that I don’t like.

“…Today you talk a lot about calling yourself a mere merchant.”

“Oh, excuse me. There are some players here that I care about. And I think I’ve seen a lot of human figures in my own way, but-“

The Hatter Fixing his hat, he glared at Mina.

Precisely as if he didn’t like something beyond that.

“You are the most disgusting kind I have ever seen.”

After saying that, the hatter disappeared.

I was about to say something, but my lips closed tight.

But as if the powder wasn’t resolved yet, he took a potato from the box and threw it at the wall.

-Puff!

The raw potatoes were crushed and scattered around.

Not only did his anger subside, but he became even more annoyed.

Because he knows he has to put it away with his own hands.

You can’t show how to handle food recklessly even for the sake of image management.

“Everything! It’s all because of them…!”

Your own perfect plan.

It was destroyed when they appeared.

But nothing is solved by anger alone.

In the first place, they are not the ones that you can carelessly touch.

Bite your nails wildly.

What I did this time was just a temporary measure.

I have to find a way somehow.

At any cost.

****

Haeundae has a secret that we don’t know about.

After discussion, Yuri and I decided to hide this from Hyena.

It’s not that I don’t trust Hyena.

However, there was no clear evidence.

I had a strong desire to finish on our line if it was possible.

‘Because Mina is the only younger sister to Hyena.’

Even for me, it was difficult to think that Mina, whom I had seen so far, was plotting something bad.

But we’ve seen it countless times.

How destruction can change people.

What if Mina is behaving unacceptably?

So what if we decide we should stop it?

Can we seriously fight Mina?

Even we haven’t decided yet.

‘……I guess it depends on how Hyena comes out.’

It’s not another person, it’s Hyena’s family.

As ever, we can’t kill just because it’s dangerous to us.

No matter what, Yuri and I were weak against Hyena.

‘I don’t even want to fight Mina in the first place.’

It seems like he fell in love with Mina as well.

Even though there is a ‘metafiction’, I can’t imagine killing Mina at all.

Anyway, because of the circumstances, I didn’t reveal this to Hye-na.

Of course there was only one person we could reveal this to.

“Ah, I guess you both thought so.”

Rather than being surprised, Eunbyeol made an expression that she knew that would happen.

Could I have noticed something already?

She looked around her for a moment, then whispered to us.

“To me, Kyung-Woo Noh is like a spy for zombies.”

“……?”

“…Huh? Isn’t this?”

As we blinked our eyes, Eunbyeol openly put on a puzzled expression.

It seems that he had a slightly different opinion from us.

No, it might not be very different.

Even if he’s doing something suspicious, it doesn’t have to be Mina.

“Why do you think he is suspicious?”

“You said Kyung-woo came here with a lot of injuries. So she said that she would heal it herself, but she insisted on saying it was fine and refused. It’s strange.”

Hmm, it’s definitely suspicious.

There must be absolutely no reason to refuse treatment.

“So does that mean that Noh Kyung-kyung is undead and therefore avoids the saintess’s healing?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes!”

“……Any other reason besides that?”

Eunbyeol put her hands on her waist and said confidently, pushing her big breasts out in front of her.

“It’s a woman’s intuition!”

“… ….”

Well, the evidence is rather weak, but it seems that Eunbyeol felt something strange.

Sensitivity is an important factor.

Yuri, who had been making an absurd face for a moment, nodded her head.

“I need to investigate something anyway. The problem is that we are not here.”

“Yes. We’ve built up a lot of trust, but it’s not to the point of being comparable to the other people we’ve been with since the beginning. Even if we doubt it, there is a possibility that it will be counterattacked.”

It’s different from fighting other organizations.

Maybe the villagers here are just being taken advantage of.

“Then, let’s collect clues by scooping them up.”

“Clues?”

“I think Mina, Eunsol, and Noh Kyung-yeo are the ones who are doing something here and are enough to fool everyone.”

In order to do something in a group, ability is ability, but a certain amount of authority is required.

There are no suitable people in Haeundae other than these three.

“Each of you pick one person and talk about it. Be careful not to get caught, of course.”

“Ah, then I will take care of Mr. Gyu. If you ask why you are not receiving treatment, you can ask naturally.”

“Then I’ll go with Eunsol. If you roll under the guise of training, you might spit something out without thinking.

I nodded.

Naturally, I was in charge of Mina.

‘……It’s the first time I’ve ever wished nothing came out.’

Honestly, when I think of Hyena, I hope this worry is simply our cause.

But I felt it intuitively.

If this were a novel, it would probably only give us shit stories.
