chapter 29
29 – The road through the fog
The monster in the fog that the main quest warned about.
They weren’t surprisingly threatening.
“Two more come at 3 o’clock.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
Scared to end the conversation.
Bugs came out of the fog.
Certainly, the appearance is hideous.
The fine hairs all over my body were disgusting.
The pupils felt more like machines than creatures.
But anyway-
– Ppaak
-Furgoog!
[You have obtained 50 Coins!]
[You have acquired 60 Coins!]
Most of them can be done in one shot.
Rather, it felt comfortable.
‘Hmm, maybe I’ve gotten a bit stronger?’
I think I was trembling about a zombie until about 20 episodes ago.
It was to the point where I was able to defeat even such a monster before I knew it.
Of course, you can check the growth rate in the status window.
It was a different feeling from experiencing it myself.
“Are they weak? They don’t even give you a lot of coins for their size.”
“You are right.”
Yuri, who inserted the sword, answered.
Even at her feet were three huge mosquitoes.
“The monster in the mist is surprisingly not strong.”
“Even in your world?”
“It was enough that even an ordinary soldier could easily defeat it. Everyone was scared and didn’t want to fight.”
“Hmm.”
Maybe that’s the purpose of this quest.
A monster that pops out of the fog.
A quest that seemed to tell you to run away.
to a limited safety zone.
‘It’s like making people who are terrified gather together.’
Fear paralyzes a person’s reason.
The elements of fog and monsters will push humans to the limit.
Same with the last human hunt.
Destruction may lead to fights between humans.
‘As expected, this writer is sure to have shady tastes.’
Because it’s an apocalypse, we have to deal with conflicts between people~
Maybe you are thinking the same shallow thoughts.
Readers these days aren’t that simple.
“Hey, hey…Are you both done?”
“Oh sorry. I’ll get on soon.”
Hearing Hyena’s voice, I quickly went back into the car.
Moving through the fog has always been like this.
Continue to move by car, and annihilate the monster when it appears.
and then start again.
‘I expected it, but it’s still slow.’
It’s a situation where I can’t speed up because of the fog.
It felt even slower after stopping in the middle and even fighting.
‘Well, there’s nothing to hurry anyway. I can go leisurely.’
Coins given by mosquitoes are also quite salty.
The fog wasn’t too bad either.
how far did you move
“Ah, it seems to be a shopping mall soon.”
Little by little, buildings began to come into view.
Yuri let out a sigh of relief.
This place is also in the fog, so monsters will appear.
Still, there is a big difference between having cover and not having it.
“It took longer than I thought.”
“I can’t even see the sign because of the fog.”
Originally, the street should be full of people.
There were no people at all, so it was gloomy on the contrary.
Maybe it’s because of the fog that filled the streets.
“Then shall we go rest here soon?”
Yuri made a puzzled expression at my suggestion.
“We still have quite a bit of distance to go, right?”
“Still, everyone will be tired.”
To be honest, I just want to rest.
Fighting dolls, fighting bears, fighting mummies, being chased by dinosaurs.
It wasn’t fatigue that could be recovered in one day.
Of course, moving in the fog is pleasant.
Now I just want to lie down and sleep.
“……Thank you, Jihoon.”
“yes?”
But for some reason, Hyena was smiling as if she was grateful.
“Is it because you look tired from driving in the fog?”
“??”
“…….Right. To be honest, I was tired of constantly detecting monsters, but I couldn’t speak. Thanks for telling me first.”
Then Yuri looked at me and smiled.
Oh, I’m the only one who’s comfortable here.
…….. But I feel like I’ve become garbage because I’ve been thanked with just one word.
Could this cause some controversy in the comments?
“No, I thought it would be better to simply rest… … .”
“hahahaha, I feel ashamed to be praised. Hasn’t it been like this before?”
No, because at that time I was just ugly.
“Come to think of it, if I move more forcefully here, I might end up homeless. You judged that far.”
“Ah, yes, that’s right. it. homelessness, yes. No homelessness.”
I just stayed still, but the rating keeps going up.
I decided to just keep quiet.
Anyway, so I decided to move on here.
Everyone agreed that there was no need to overdo it because it was still the first day.
“Oh, then can I stop by the store for a minute?”
“store?”
“Yeah, that’s… I want to pack some clothes or something.”
Hyena’s cheeks are slightly red as she speaks.
It seems that I need something like underwear.
‘Well, since I have a car, it won’t matter if I pack a lot of clothes. Above all, it’s free because there are no people.’
If it’s combat equipment, you’ll have to buy it through the coin shop.
Life clothes don’t matter in terms of performance.
“Oh, but because of the fog, looking for a store is also work.”
“Let’s just go in wherever we see it. I’m not in a position to choose things.”
Hyena stopped the car in front of a famous brand store.
The clerk’s professional spirit must have been strong, because the door was locked.
I broke the glass and went inside.
“Wow, it’s spacious!”
“Things are finer than I thought.”
A variety of clothes are displayed in the store.
Hyena and Yuri walked to one side side by side.
“Yuri, what is your cup size?”
“Um, was I a G cup?”
“God, that’s great!”
A pink space with women’s underwear that makes men embarrassed just by looking at it.
Even so, I don’t have the courage to charge over there.
I decided to leave it to the girls to enjoy themselves.
‘Should I pack just a few suits?’
underwear and long socks.
There are a few clothes that you can wear comfortably.
Just look at the size and choose the design appropriately.
I wasn’t interested in fashion from the beginning.
Now that society has collapsed, what do you do?
‘This should be enough.’
Seeing all the socks of the same shape and color made me feel proud.
This is the style of a self-made man, Cancer.
Even in this world, it’s because they’re both women.
Hyena and Yuri were still chattering.
I sat down on the chair that was laid out.
‘There’s nothing to do, so let’s search for comments.’
It must have been reset when the main quest started.
It was also the time when the next information was needed.
“Hmm, but what are you searching for?”
It’s not like there’s an item or building you’re looking for right now.
I don’t really have any questions.
‘Let’s just run it randomly like last time.’
Although it is less accurate than keyword input.
There was a chance that new information would come out.
After all, the comment search only shows comments related to keywords.
Because the types that can come out are limited.
[Use the skill, ‘Explore Comments’!]
[100 coins are consumed as a consumption cost.]
‘With no keyword.’
[Currently, there are 4 comment lists available.]
[Please select one comment you would like to see.]
1. The first comment on episode 27
2. The most recommended comment in episode 28
3. Comment with the most number of characters in episode 28
4. Comments from (unverifiable information)
‘……Another comment with unverifiable information.’
A list that has been going on for a long time.
Although I haven’t chosen since I was scammed once.
As I continued to come out, I became more and more concerned.
‘Besides, the hatter’s words were also taken.’
In his words, this world is definitely fiction.
At the same time, there is a high probability that someone is watching.
That someone is probably the ‘reader’ of this novel.
‘What kind of comments did they leave?’
If you are a ‘reader’ of this novel, you must have seen the story so far.
You may also know that I can check comments.
You can even see the comments they leave.
If so, wouldn’t they also have left clues in their own way in the comments?
‘Honestly, I don’t really want to believe it, but I can’t deny that it will be a hint about this world.’
I don’t have the information I need right now anyway.
To me now, 100 coins is not that expensive.
Once again, I decided to trust the ‘readers’ of this ‘novel’.
[You selected comment number 4.]
[The content of comment number 4 is as follows.]
[Content: Each one came out hahahaha Now the original protagonist saw the main character and said, “Who are you, bastard?” While doing so, I grabbed him by the collar and stopped him]
[Recommended: 13, Downvoted: 0]
‘…Wow, I never thought that information from the past would come out.’
Does the original protagonist mean Yuri?
So how many episodes is this?
‘Even when I first met Yuri, I never thought I’d come to see clothes like this.’
I ate and the corners of my mouth went up.
It’s not even that old.
When I saw it as a sentence like this, it felt strangely like a memory.
‘Unfortunately, this information won’t be helpful for the attack.’
Well, can there always be winnings?
Since it was random, there was no guarantee that important information would come out.
Swallowing my regret, I got up from my seat and headed to the counter.
there’s nothing to do anyway
It was to see if there were any useful tools.
‘Come to think of it, aren’t new clothes usually stored in a warehouse?’
I was looking around to see where the warehouse was.
I found a note pasted on the door.
[Hello, I am the owner of this store.]
[I tried to escape somehow, but I ended up being bitten by a zombie.]
[So I’m going to lock myself in the warehouse while I’m still conscious.]
[Leave a note like this in case you open the warehouse door.]
[You can bring your own clothes if necessary.]
[You are probably the last customers in our store.]
[Thank you for using our store!]
[The world has become like this, but I hope you have a pleasant shopping!]
“…….”
I held a baseball bat in my hand.
I broke the warehouse doorknob and went inside.
“…….sorry. And rest in peace.”
He hit the baseball bat hard.
puck! Silence lingered in the warehouse with the sound of a booming voice.
I stood for a while and scratched my head.
“Oh, I really hate writers.”
Why the hell are you using Apocalypse?
I’d like to ask when the opportunity comes later.
