“Then how many survivors are there?”
“It is different for each safe zone shelter. The small safe zone shelter I belong to has about a dozen people, but I heard that the largest shelter in the nearby Dawn Safe Zone is super-large and can accommodate thousands of people.”
Joon-young was surprised.
“Thousands of survivors gathered in one safe zone?”
“yes. Have you ever heard of the Dawning Guild?”
“of course. It is one of the four largest guilds in Korea, and it is the largest guild in terms of size, so there is no way I am not aware of it.”
“that’s right. The Dawning Guild’s S-class Hunter, Jeong Do-hoon, is the owner of the Dawning Safe Zone.”
The Dawn Guild’s S-class Hunter Jeong Do-hoon?
Even Junyoung has seen it as if passing by.
‘Are there more safety zones than I thought?’
If it accommodates thousands of people, it means that it is much larger than the safe zone at Exit 13 of Gwacheon Station that Jun-yeong took over.
It is fortunate that thousands of survivors survived the cataclysm of the apocalypse thanks to this.
“Then, who owns the safe zone Park Yoo-ra belongs to?”
“I know Kang Joon-young well. Manager Kwak Sang-woo.”
Junyoung’s eyes widened.
Gwangjin-gu Office Disaster Safety Bureau Hunter Management Division Manager Kwak Sang-woo?
That person is the owner of the safe zone?
“I’m glad that Manager Kwak Sang-woo is also safe.”
One of the public servants who was very favorable to Jun-young.
At the time, thanks to Kwak Sang-woo, Jun-young was able to undergo a re-examination for his character level, and was recognized as A-rank from F-rank.
“yes. And there’s also A-rank Hunter Kwak Hye-na. Jong-soo Yoo, the gate management team leader, and So-young Ahn, the manager of the gate, are also there.”
“Come to think of it, almost all the employees of the Hunter Management Department of Gwangjin-gu Office are gathered?”
Park Yoo-ra nodded.
“The apocalypse happened when I visited the office of the Hunter Management Department. While everyone was looking for survival, Manager Kwak Sang-woo accidentally found a safe zone and became the owner.”
Such a wonderful thing!
In any case, it was a great fortune to have found a safe zone.
“By the way, does anyone there have a black moon or gray moon seal?”
“First of all, no one in our shelter received the seal of the moon.”
“Then, are there such people in other safe zone shelters?”
“I don’t know. What is certain is that those with the Black Moon, Gray Moon, and Purple Moon seals are prohibited from approaching the Dawning Safe Zone Shelter.”
Black moon, gray moon, purple moon…!
They are the forces of the moon that are no different from Junyoung and his enemies.
‘Fortunately, the Dawning Guild did not fall over to the forces of the evil moon.’
If I had become a servant of the Black Moon like the Gwanak Guild, it would have been quite a headache, but it was fortunate.
“But Kang Joon-young?”
“yes.”
Park Yu-ra asked, pointing to the mysteriously glowing seal of the blue moon on Jun-young’s forehead.
“That blue moon…! The seal is right, right?”
“yes. you’re right.”
“As expected. It’s such a mysteriously beautiful blue light.”
Not only Park Yoo-ra, but also Jeong Tae-woo and Lim Ji-hye were looking at Jun-young’s moon seal with a wonderful expression.
“Actually, I wanted to ask you something. Have you ever seen anyone in this district with a blue moon seal like mine?”
When Junyoung asked, Yoora Park and others shook their heads.
“no. Kang Joon-young is the first blue moon seal.”
“I’m seeing it for the first time too.”
“Among the monsters, none of them had the seal of the blue moon.”
Everyone says Junyoung is the first.
So I was puzzled.
This is because Cha Soo-hyeok and Lee Ji-ho said that the blue moon option appeared when they rejected the offer to become a member of the black moon or gray moon.
But does that mean there was no option for a blue moon here?
‘Then the blue moon was given as an option only in the Gwacheon area where I am.’
It was a phenomenon that was possible only in the place where Junyeong’s blue moon base was located.
‘Sorry.’
If there were people with the blue moon seal, they would have been chosen as blue moon warriors.
The power of the Blue Moon Base will become stronger only when you secure a lot of new Blue Moon Warriors.
“But what the hell is a blue moon? I couldn’t see a blue moon anywhere in the sky.”
Park Yoo-ra pointed to the sky and said.
All kinds of miscellaneous moons are showing up all over the sky.
The blue moon was nowhere to be seen.
“The blue moon is of a completely different class from the evil lunar forces of the black and gray moons. We have all the evil forces that led to the end of the earth as our enemies.”
Junyoung gave a brief explanation of his blue moon seal.
However, he didn’t even bother to say that he was the owner of the Blue Moon Node, the successor to the legend, and the Count of the Blue Moon.
“By the way, did Park Yoo-ra come out of the building with the white moon seal on it?”
“There is only a White Moon store there.”
“Is there only a shop?”
“yes. The White Moon Shop is open to anyone. They say that monsters can do it, as well as us. It is impossible to fight in it.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“I’ve heard that the white moon is a neutral power, but it’s unusual that a shop exists like that.”
“Our safety zone is small, so it’s not easy to get food and supplies inside, so we’re procuring it from the White Moon Shop.”
Park Yu-ra pointed to the food bags that Jun-yeong had recovered from the goblins and continued.
“If it wasn’t for Kang Jun-young, everyone would have starved for a while. Thank you very much.”
“Thank you so much for finding the food bag.”
“thank you so much.”
Not only Park Yoo-ra, but also Jeong Tae-woo and Lim Ji-hye showed genuine gratitude.
Junyoung smiled.
“no. In this apocalypse, survivors have to help each other and live. More than that, they seem to be coming again, so it’s better to avoid them.”
I was able to detect hundreds of goblins in advance thanks to having placed hundreds of mosquitoes around with a trapper.
No matter how weak the goblins are, they can never be ignored if hundreds of them swarm.
“They’re coming from the other side, so let’s avoid the other side.”
Junyoung pointed in the opposite direction to where the goblins were coming.
Then Park Yoo-ra nodded while holding up her food bag.
“That’s exactly the direction we’re going. Come along! Goblins won’t attack if you just avoid the safe zone.”
“I see.”
In the safety zone of the apocalypse, there is a special power that can avoid the catastrophe of the apocalypse.
Also, monsters that appeared after the apocalypse cannot approach it.
This is a fact that Jun-young knows well because he is the owner of the safety zone.
Immediately, he ran to Kwak Sang-woo’s safe zone, following Park Yoo-ra and others.
‘Let’s meet Manager Kwak Sang-woo first.’
In fact, avoiding a group of goblins is a very simple task for Junyoung, even if it is not a safe zone.
After dispersing the mosquitoes in all directions, you can lightly evade the goblins through a detection move.
However, since there was a safety zone nearby, he was on his way there.
“Hey there!”
At that time, Park Yoo-ra, who was running ahead, pointed to an abandoned building covered by bushes.
The basement of a dilapidated building that is about to collapse.
“The basement is a safe zone. If we go underground, the goblins won’t come after us anymore.”
“okay.”
It was closer than I thought.
Joon-young followed Park Yoo-ra and ran down the stairs.
The moment I went down the last stairs, a small cave appeared.
‘Is that a safe zone?’
About 10 people were sitting in a puddle-like place, looking tired.
Weng-weng!
It’s a safe zone, so monsters can’t enter.
Bloodsuckers, including mosquitoes, were no joke.
“Ugh! Another swarm of mosquitoes!”
“Ah-oh! itchy! Why is there no anti-mosquito function in the safe zone!”
“Mr. Kim Jae-yoon, hurry up and summon the king of mosquitoes, dragonflies, and catch them!”
“sorry. I can’t do it now because I’m out of mana! I am getting bitten too.”
It was a mess because of the mosquitoes.
At that time, Park Yu-ra shouted out bravely.
“Everybody, don’t worry about mosquitoes anymore! I brought the real mosquito nemesis.”
“yes? What do you mean, Park Yoo-ra? More food?”
“I safely purchased and brought food.”
“oh! okay. You really worked hard.”
Then, Kwak Sang-woo was surprised to find Jun-young, who had just entered behind Park Yoo-ra.
“No, you?”
“It’s been a while, Chief Kwak Sang-woo!”
“Junyoung Kang! How are you here…”
“Rather than that, it would be better to talk about mosquitoes first.”
Joon-young used his charm to attract the mosquitoes that swarmed throughout the cave.
There are plenty of scouting mosquitoes out there, so killing them is the answer.
Whiririk!
‘Keah!’
‘Kack!’
‘Kiaag!’
With one light gesture of his, all the mosquitoes fell down.
Return of the Mosquito Nemesis (1)
The safe zone shelter that Kwak Sang-woo discovered was small in size, but had several entrances and exits, so it had the advantage of being able to enter and exit through multiple routes in case of emergency.
One of them was that it was adjacent to the Dawning Guild Safe Zone Shelter, which was the largest in the area, and it was a big help to survival.
The reason why Kwak Sang-woo’s safe zone shelter, which is mostly non-awakened, has been able to survive without collapsing, is because of the help of the Dawning Guild.
However, even the Dawning Guild could not protect Kwak Sang-woo’s shelter from mosquitoes and other bloodsucking attacks.
Attack of the Apocalypse Large Mosquito!
That’s because even the Dawning Guild’s Safe Zone Shelter couldn’t be an exception.
No matter how much prevention and efforts were made, mosquitoes appeared endlessly, and there were not a few victims.
Fortunately, Alchemy Awakeners from the Dawning Guild produced Apocalypse large-species mosquito repellent and insecticide, and it worked for a while.
“That, after a few days, was of no use again. This is because new strains of mosquitoes that are not affected by those repellents and insecticides have appeared. It stayed that way. If it’s worth killing, another variant appears, and then a new variant appears… Each time the existing treatment didn’t work, so the Dawn Guild had to make a new treatment.”
It was Kwak Sang-woo’s explanation.
His expression as he looked at Junyoung was full of joy.
“But even those mutant mosquitoes are nothing in front of Kang Joon-yeong, the natural enemy of vampires. hahahahaha, I’m really happy to see you! Please catch the mosquitoes!”
“Do not worry. I don’t know anything else, but if it’s a mosquito, I can help.”
Junyoung smiled.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
In the office of the Hunter Management Department, he lightly dealt with the swarm of mosquitoes that attacked Kwak Sang-woo and was recognized as an Awakener.
After all, it’s not that long ago, but since it was before the apocalypse, it feels like old times.
“Rather than that, is the Dawning Guild safe zone close here?”
“yes. There is another entrance on the opposite side of the entrance that Mr. Kang Joon-young entered. If you go out there, you can reach the Dawning Guild Safe Zone in 10 minutes.”
That was a very special function of Kwak Sang-woo’s safe zone.
To go to the Dawn Safe Zone from the entrance where Jun-Young came in, various rugged terrain, forests, and monsters block the way, so it will take a couple of hours at the earliest, but the opposite entrance is connected to the Dawn Guild Safe Zone as if moving through space.
And that’s not all.
In the meantime, there are other entrances, one of which is in front of the Children’s Grand Park gate, and the other is connected to the Han River near Seongsu-dong.
“So the safe zone is actually connected to multiple portals?”
“yes. Similar. Thanks to this, members of the Dawning Guild who use the nearby White Moon Shop sometimes pass through our safe zone. How many times faster than just going?”
I think it’s true that it’s a really special safe zone.
However, when Junyoung met Kwak Sangwoo, there was something he wanted to ask the most.
“Do you know any news about the Blue Dragon Guild, which was one of the four major guilds along with the Dawn Guild?”
“well. Communication has been cut off for a long time, so I don’t know much about the Blue Dragon Guild.”
“okay.”
If I could simply hear the sympathy of the Blue Dragon Guild, I would have guessed that my family was all right.
When Junyoung let out a heavy sigh, Kwak Sang-woo spoke.
“If you go to the Dawning Guild and ask, there might be people who know. There are a lot of people there, and there are also people with communication skills, so we are collecting various information.”
At this, Junyoung was pleased.
As Kwak Sang-woo said, if it were a Dawning Guild Shelter with thousands of people gathered, some of them might know about the current situation of the Blue Dragon Guild.
“Junyoung hyung! I am so glad you are alive!”
Meanwhile, Kwak Sang-woo was not the only one who welcomed Jun-young.
Class D Hunter Jaeyoon Kim!
While working as a social worker at the district office, he was awakened from catching mosquitoes and had the ability to summon the dragonfly, the natural enemy of mosquitoes.
The giant dragonfly often eats bloodsuckers including mosquitoes, so Kim Jae-yoon was recognized as a mosquito hunter.
However, the problem is that Jaeyoon Kim lacks mana, so the summoning duration of the dragonfly is short, so it is not very helpful even when mosquitoes rampage like now.
“Junyoung hyung! I knew my brother was alive! I was waiting for my brother to come. It’s so nice to see you!”
Mosquito Hunter’s Aid!
The true enemy of mosquitoes!
That is Junyoung.
Is that why?
When Junyoung appeared, Jaeyoon Kim seemed to be the most welcome.
“Yes, Jaeyoon. I’m glad you’re okay too. Is the dragonfly good?”
“yes. brother. However, all kinds of mutant mosquitoes are attacking endlessly, and I and Daewangi can’t handle it with only my strength. I desperately need your help.”
“Tsk, this guy named Mosquito Hunter has been bitten by mosquitoes.”
When Junyoung was bitten, he simply healed Kim Jaeyoon’s wound with the rub skill.
“hehehehe! thanks bro! So, are you going to catch mosquitoes now?”
“Wait a minute. I need to say hello to others.”
Junyoung pushed aside Kim Jaeyoon, who was clinging to him like he was sloppy, and looked at Yoo Jongsu and Ahn Soyoung.
“Junyoung Kang! It’s really nice to see you.”
“Nice to meet you, Kang Joon-young.”
Gate Team Leader Yoo Jong-soo and Superintendent Ahn So-young of the Hunter Management Department.
“I am very glad that both of you are safe.”
Seeing familiar faces makes me feel as if I have returned to the time before the apocalypse, even for a moment.
This is the office of the Hunter Management Department, and if you go outside and go to Somang Villa No. 401 in Guui-dong, your parents and younger siblings will be there.
‘Whoa!’
Wouldn’t it be great if we could go back to pre-apocalypse?
But the reality is completely different.
It will be even harsher in the future.
“By the way, where has Kang Joon-young been? I don’t think you were ever around here.”
Kwak Sang-woo asked again.
“I was on the Gwacheon side.”
“Gwacheon?”
“yes. At that time, while attacking the racecourse gate with the guild members, the catastrophe of the end suddenly struck. At first, I thought that such a phenomenon only happened in Gwacheon, but when I came here today, it seems to be the same in Seoul.”
Then Kwak Sang-woo was surprised.
“In the past, Gwacheon and Seoul were not that far away, but now I understand that the topography has changed bizarrely and various abnormal weather phenomena have occurred, making it difficult to come and go.”
“As the storm of the end raged, I escaped to a nearby barrier for a while, but when I came out, it was here.”
It was a surprise, but Kwak Sang-woo was not very surprised in itself.
This is probably because the entrances to the safe zone also work differently from the common sense space concept of the existing earth.
“There is nothing strange about these bizarre phenomena happening all the time. More than that, the blue moon seal on Kang Joon-young’s forehead is very cool.”
“Actually, what this blue moon seal means…”
When I just met Park Yoo-ra, I only briefly mentioned it because it was in a forest full of monsters, but now that I am inside the safe zone, Jun-young explained it in more detail.
‘I need their help to establish a foothold in Seoul.’
So he said that he was the owner of the blue moon base and that he had come here with the purpose of destroying the forces including the black moon and gray moon by creating a base here.
