Episode 680 One Shot!
A trio that seems to have business for us, or more precisely, for Taejun.
I said it wasn’t a good relationship, but I didn’t know it would come right away.
That would be the case.
‘You have quite a discerning eye.’
We’re not the only ones here.
There are several other wanderers gathered there too.
Among them, there will be some strong people who cannot be helped.
It’s just a day.
Would you encourage a fight between people who gathered to spend a night together?
‘If you were in your right mind, you wouldn’t do that.’
If an atmosphere is created where it’s okay to make a fuss, other people might do the same.
Even if that’s not the case, it’s still unpleasant to see.
Maybe the monsters heard the noise and came.
At night, even the smallest sound can travel far.
“Why? Do you want to get stabbed in the back like last time? You used to cry so much.”
Well, looking at what Taejun is doing, it doesn’t seem like it’ll end well.
A guy who laughs and mocks.
If you look down on me, that’s the end.
As expected.
“Hahaha! Is that what a kid who stabbed someone while they were sleeping and ran away would say?”
The other party didn’t stay still either.
Stabbed while sleeping?
That alone makes Taejun’s reputation hit rock bottom.
Because you become an untrustworthy person.
As expected, the expressions of those who were watching with interest turn cold.
“It’s night over there too, so don’t let anyone hang out with you.”
Knock knock. He taps my shoulder and even gives me advice.
“Well, if you don’t like it, why don’t you sleep with us? You’ll be better off than that guy.”
Oh. Even the consideration.
“That’s about it? Those guys who got stabbed while trying to steal my stuff?”
“Why is that your thing?”
“I got it from the guy I caught, it’s mine. Is it yours?”
“Ha! How shameless to get caught running away before you can even distribute it!”
“Yeah. I saw you guys taking your stuff without paying.”

“This kid!”
What started out as a bloody conversation has now turned into a shouting match.
The interest disappears from the onlookers’ faces.
“What should I say again?”
“It was just a common accounting problem.”
“Tsk tsk. Those cheapskates. They really paid the rent.”
“Hey! You kids over there! It’s night time, why aren’t you keeping your mouth shut?”
“If that’s the case, then go somewhere else and do your bidding!”
Is this level of conflict common?
There are even those who go as far as swearing and shouting at them to shut up.
The proactive ones came all the way to us.
“Hahahaha! What are you all so angry about? Let’s just take a break.”
It was a big, furry thing.
Although he didn’t trim his beard, he took good care of the clothes he was wearing.
A garment made by adding iron plates to leather.
At a glance, it was a herd of shepherds.
“As we live, there are bound to be bad relationships here and there, but in the end, aren’t we destined to meet again?”
“Who are you to tell me this and that… … !”
The one who seemed to be the leader of the trio frowned.
“Ahem.”
The colleague next to him grabs the guy’s arm.
I glanced to the side and saw a group of shepherds, each holding their own weapon, looking in this direction.
I feel an unspoken pressure to do this.
“Tsk. You made a lot of noise last night. Let’s go.”
“Hahaha! Okay. Thanks.”
The trio leaves and a furry man looks down at us, laughing heartily.
It is quite large in size.
“You guys should rest now. This isn’t the first or second time something like this has happened.”
“I was thinking of doing that anyway.”
Taejun also sat down, unable to ignore the pressure from those around him.
“Good night.”
With those words, the furry creature returns to the group.

Taejun, who was grumbling as if he was still angry, kicks a rock.
“You hairy little punk. Why should you interfere?”
It seems like the trio doesn’t like the guy who stepped forward to mediate as if he were the representative of the group.

Wouldn’t it be okay if it ended well?
That’s that.
“Taejun.”
“what.”
“Did you also attack the safe zone people?”
My question leaves you speechless for a moment.
He frowns for a moment and then says sharply.
“Why? Can’t I?”
“I have no intention of saying anything.”
I have no intention of imposing my values or morals on anyone.
To begin with, I am not a morally perfect person.
‘This side will have its own standards.’
I have killed many people, both my followers and my competitors.
And are you going to impose modern morals and laws on it?
No matter what, violence is not okay, and even if the opponent is holding a knife, it is not self-defense if you knock them down, right?
That’s bullshit.
“If you have to, then do it. It doesn’t matter what you do.”
After all, we’ve only seen each other for a day.
I’m not that broad-minded.
Actually, I thought they might have acted together for a moment because the guy was pointing at the trio.
“Tell me more about the safe zone.”
For now, I’ve given up on killing NPCs in the safe zone to take over the space.
Leaving aside ethical issues.
‘I don’t know what kind of aftermath that will have.’
If it becomes known what I did, I’ll sleep soundly in a safe place.
If you want to go up to the 97th floor right now, you’ll need to make some preparations.
Will the people there cooperate properly?
furthermore.
‘There’s no way that process will be easy.’
If it were easy, there wouldn’t be so many wanderers.
There must be something I don’t know.
“Safety zone. Safety zone! Why can’t everyone go there and why is it such a mess?”
The slightly irritated guy scratches his head.
Are you in puberty?
Your mood swings are severe.

It’s good to get into the safe zone.
Is the safe zone a safe zone for nothing?
“I don’t even know what kind of place it is.”
Very small.
I heard the guy muttering.
“I don’t know. I’m sleeping. Wake me up in two hours. Let’s rotate every two hours.”
The guy who fed the riding lizard goes into the tent.
I meant to sleep first without consulting her, but I didn’t touch her.
He did everything, including coming here and setting up the tent.
“Sleep well.”
There was no answer.
* * *
The morning dawned without any major incidents.
The time has come to choose.
Taejun has no interest in the safe zone.
At first glance, it seems like there is even hostility.
I have to go see Nyangpun.
Well then, there are two options.
‘The Shepherds, the Three Musketeers.’
Both groups are likely to go near the safe zone.
Following them would be a wise choice.
“It’s ambiguous.”
If you choose the former, you have to adapt to their schedule.
Because they herd sheep and goats and trade not only in the safe zone but also in other villages.
The saying goes that you never know when you’ll reach safety.
If you choose the latter, the route will be faster.
‘You might attack someone along the way.’
If we break up at the moment when we see a safe zone, that’s the end of it.
“You can’t do that, right? We’re already in cahoots since we’re together. They won’t just let us go.”
According to Taejun, it didn’t seem that easy.
Therefore.
“Let’s go, to the safe zone.”
“…Why me?”
I decided to just move with Taejun.
He stops packing and looks at me in amazement.

“I’ll pay for the taxi fare.”
“What about the taxi fare? No. I said I don’t plan on going!”
“You have nowhere to go anyway. I’ll compensate you. Okay, let’s have a drink first.”
I naturally injected the potion into the guy.
There’s something I felt last night in the tent village.
‘Most wanderers are barterers.’
In addition, basic items are secretly traded at high prices.
I think it might be because of the nature of moving around without any infrastructure.
As a result, the basic quality of life was low.
“Eat some of this on your way.”
“lunch?”
The guy who opened the lid with an expression that said, “What is this?” opens his mouth.
This is a lunchbox that I made with great care.
There’s also a bonfire, so you can show off your skills while standing guard.
I left it next to the fire so it’s still warm.
I see that the people here aren’t eating properly.
‘Of course, if you don’t have any cooking skills.’
There’s a reason why Helldying Kitchen is famous for its buffet service.
It’s amazing that the entire group is capable of everything from slaughtering to cooking.
In other words.
‘I’m the cook here!’
It means that it has valuable value.
I whispered to the drooling guy, putting my arm around his shoulder.
“Three meals a day, without fail. I’ll make dessert often too.”
“What, are you trying to bribe me with food?”
“So. You don’t like it?”
“… I like soufflé cake.”
okay.
This concludes the agreement.
I shook hands with the guy.
“Let’s talk while moving.”
A guy carrying a tent and other supplies climbs onto a lizard.
I followed behind too.
“Shhh!”
The lizard ran across the wilderness at a fast pace.

Taejun was silent on the way.
A slightly nervous look.
Keep your posture low and increase your speed, while continuing to look around.
“Why is that?”
“It’s morning. There might be pursuers.”
Why is there a pursuer?
There was a minor altercation with the trio, but no blood was shed.
If you’re going to do something, you’ll have to do it at night.
“If you cause an accident at night, you’ll get on other people’s bad side. The morning is different.”
-Beep.
A whistle sounded from afar.
Is that a whistle?
Anyway, it wasn’t a good sign.
“You pick the one you want to prey on at night and chase him when the sun rises.”
“Well, that’s a hopeful story.”
It’s no different from them eating each other.
You spent the night with me, so are you showing your true colors?
-Beep.
This time a whistle is heard from the other side.
A sound of the same decibel level as before.
It’s heard alternately from both sides.
A subtle vibration felt at the same time.
“I think we’ve become targets.”
“I guess it looked pretty funny. I should have beaten up a few of them.”
I straightened my back and checked who was chasing me.
It was still far away so it wasn’t easy to check properly.
“Hairy?”
“Oh my. Those shepherds! I had a strong feeling since last night!”
The thing in front was so big that it was easy to figure out its identity.
No, what do they regret?
There was no reason to have ill feelings in the first place, right?
You were acting like a nice person last night.
“Why would there be a reason? He just picked the guy who looked easy! What, if he had sheep and supplies, did you think he’d just go his own way?”
“That’s true too.”
Rather, since there were more people and more equipment, they would have been able to live more comfortably by preying on others.

Looking back, isn’t this why I came out to mediate at night?
To check the condition of our equipment.
Also, find out if there are any hidden colleagues.
“This is a mess.”
“Yeah.”
I let out a small sigh.
Thanks to you, I understood.
What does the 96th floor lawless zone feel like?
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
“What are you talking about now! Lower your posture. It’s slowing you down!”
Taejun screamed in annoyance, but it was too late.
Those guys, they leave the sheep guarded by a separate group of lightly equipped men.
I’m already behind in speed.
The head numbers are pushed further.
As expected, soon after, four people from each side followed them.
“Hahaha! Here we go again!”
“If you see it, get out! Don’t talk to me!”
“It’s just as rough as the night.”
The furry who had been smiling kindly opened his eyes narrowly.
Eyes that are already sparkling with life.
The smile disappeared from the guy’s lips.
“Catch it.”
“All right!”
“Shoot!”
“Be careful not to damage the items!”
They took out their crossbows and aimed them.
Just by looking at the tension being pulled, you can feel the tension.
What are you aiming for?
-Ting!
-Phew!
Us.
A crossbow shot without hesitation.
Taejun pulled out his gun, as if he wasn’t going to let it happen, but I was faster.
“hmm?”
“Huh?”
Advertisements
The arrows they shot.
Got it.
“Hehehe.”
The same goes for Deokchun.
He caught the arrow with his tongue and palm as if he was showing off his skills.
-Thud.
Broke it.
Well, I don’t think they’ll back down just because we do this much.
In the first place, we probably used a crossbow to keep our items and lizards from getting hurt.
“Hey, come on. Just hit me!”
“Kill him!”
Now it’s time to get serious.
They each took out their own weapons, and I also took out my Chaos Sword.
The timing to aim weapons at each other.
-Taang!
Taejun’s pistol fired.
A revolver, nothing special.
-Bam bang bang!
The furry man riding the horse falls off and rolls down.
A result that can never be attributed to being shot.
In the midst of this unexpected situation, everyone’s brains stopped working, but I could tell.
[One shot into your heart! (SSS) Lv.MAX]
-Is your heart pounding?
-Usually that’s what happens when something goes in!
His bullet.
Entered the furry heart.
