98 – Plan B (1)

Kang-woo and his family gathered in a quiet park pavilion to avoid the sun that had already begun to shine brightly.

“…….”

No one could easily open their mouth.

Why did this happen?

Looking at his team members who looked helpless, Kangwoo thought.

Obviously…

After leaving The Flower Hotel occupied by the Guild Rookie Alliance.

Everything seemed to be going well until I walked towards the bank in front of the north gate, which was said to be occupied by the awakened people, under the guidance of Seungho Kim, who knows the geography of this place…

Why have they ended up gathering in a corner of the park like defeated soldiers and just bursting into empty laughter?

‘Should I have gone to the bank first instead of the hotel? Then couldn’t we at least have a conversation?’

As soon as you get close to the bank, they start firing threatening shots.

“Get out of here! Get out of here!! This is our area, so get out of there, you bastards!”

“If it’s so bad, you should take over a building too, you bastards! They say they don’t like it, but why do they keep coming at me and it’s so damn good!!”

“I have no intention of going to the safe zone! They don’t even accept additional people! “How many times do I tell you that I won’t accept it even if your mom comes!!”

Kang-woo sighed as he recalled the awakened people in the north who were going crazy with their eyes closed.

I was so embarrassed that I headed to the bank with such confidence that I would be kicked out without even being able to exchange a single word. Who would have imagined it?

Looking at the situation, it seems that the Safe Zone awakeners, who the guild rookies could not bear to mess with, rushed to the awakeners occupying the northern bank and engaged in several large-scale attacks…

I really wish I had gone to the bank first instead of The Flower Hotel. If that were the case, those awakened people wouldn’t have gone crazy to that extent, so wouldn’t it have been possible to have a conversation…?

When Kang-woo can’t let go of his regrets, the more he thinks about them, the more he regrets. Lee Jeong-min tried to evoke a gloomy atmosphere with an exaggerated voice.

“That’s enough! Why is the atmosphere like this? f*ck it, we can just do what we do and do our best on our own!”

“…….”

“If anyone sees it, they will think that someone has been killed, very!”

Of course, Lee Jeong-min also knew.

Unlike the only 70 guild rookies, the 500 or so northern awakeners were people who should never fail to be persuaded.

These are seventy rookies who live in a good place. Whether or not they get away with living in a good place is not their part-time business.

It was a completely different matter that the target was five hundred northern awakeners, equivalent to one-third of the survivors in the current ordeal.

Perhaps, as Kang-woo said, clearing this large-scale ordeal itself may become impossible.

But.

The bus has already left, and those crazy people at the bank have a lot of screws missing.

Judging from the sight of the guys hanging from the window, shooting arrows and exchanging insults, I don’t think those bastards will be able to have a conversation.

Conversation is also between people, what is that……

‘Ugh-‘

Lee Jeong-min secretly shook his head and tried to smile brightly.

Anyway, I did everything I could right away. It was something they could not help that the results were negative.

In other words, nothing will change even if you sit like this.

“Is it Kangwoo? What are you going to do now? Should we go to the safe zone first?”

Lee Jeong-min worked hard to create a cheerful voice.

It was at that moment that a voice full of despair intervened.

“……What if something serious happens like this? Even if it is a little disappointing, it would be better to give up the ordeal at this point…”

Kim Seung-ho, his face turning pale, compulsively shakes his legs.

Then, Yoo Seung-ah’s face, which had brightened for a moment due to Lee Jeong-min’s exaggerated tone, also darkened again.

“No-“

Lee Jeong-min’s efforts become insignificant and the atmosphere becomes even colder.

Lee Jeong-min nervously brushed his hair and furrowed his brows.

“Hey, what are you- Kang-woo, that bastard is not some kind of god. Do you really want to act like the whole world is falling apart because you just said, ‘It might be like that?'”

Nothing has happened right now, so let’s give up on the ordeal. This is a statement that I cannot understand at all.

Lee Jeong-min sighed in frustration, but Kim Seung-ho, who got angry at his attitude, jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“Kang Woo-hyung never says anything wrong?! And since you don’t know now, he can say those things!!”

“I don’t know what I don’t know! Are you going to keep talking like sh*t?”

“What the…? “Did you just call me bullsh*t?!”

“Yeah, it sucks. “What you’re doing right now is so f*cking sh*t.”

The two people suddenly became cold and glared at each other as if they were going to kill each other.

The ones around me were surprised by the sudden situation.

“Tongue, bro!! Seungho! “What’s wrong with you two!”

“Uh oh! Do not fight! Why are we fighting among ourselves now?”

Kang Woo and Yoon Ichan quickly stand up and block the two people.

“Oh, brother! Calm down!”

“Hey, what’s wrong with you!”

Embarrassed Yoo Seung-ah and Moon Jun-hyuk ran to Lee Jeong-min and Kim Seung-ho respectively and caught them.

“Oh, let go! “That bastard is talking nonsense – he keeps saying he doesn’t know what he’s scared of -“

“Ah, bro!”

Kang-woo urgently stopped Lee Jeong-min from grumbling. But have you already heard it? Kim Seung-ho, his face red with anger, threw the bomb.

“It’s not nonsense! Since you don’t know, it’s possible to turn on that hope circuit! I can see it! Junhyuk’s expression-!!”

“…….”

Junhyuk’s facial expression- Junhyuk’s facial expression- This facial expression-

Kim Seung-ho’s cry, crying, echoes through the quiet park.

When everyone who was busy stopping Lee Jung-min and Kim Seung-ho stopped moving as if it was a lie because of a remark that could never be ignored.

Zech.

Park Ye-rin, who was sitting peacefully alone, looked down at Moon Jun-hyuk, who was stiff, and let out a deep sigh.

“Ha… I see. “Your expression is different from usual.”

It was truly a moment when my wildest imagination became reality.

***

The incident of discovering a body in the dorm last night.

Kangwoo’s family, who experienced an incident where they safely hid from the awakeners by activating Moon Junhyuk’s radar in the safe zone, had no choice but to admit it at this point.

Moon Jun-hyuk’s [Intuition] Is amazing!

That is.

For this reason, Kim Seung-ho’s remark that he should give up the trial at this point because Moon Jun-hyuk’s expression was not good could not have been an opinion that was already well-founded in itself.

“f*ck…….”

To the extent that Lee Jeong-min, who had been venting his anger at Kim Seung-ho’s pathetic behavior, quickly broke his anger.

“……Is it true? “Do you have a bad intuition?”

“Ah… That…”

“You don’t have to feel burdened. “I’m just referring to it.”

Kang-woo comforted the hesitant Moon Jun-hyuk.

Then, Junhyuk Moon, who had been hesitating to speak for fear that the mood among the team members would become depressed due to an intuition that was unclear for some reason, quietly repeated the word ‘reference’ and opened his mouth.

“It may not be a big deal… I’m just a little anxious.”

“……Are you anxious? What?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“Well… I don’t know either. “I know this by feeling, but I can’t know the exact reason…”

“Ah… That’s right. The name of the skill is [Intuition]. “It has to be that way.”

Kang-woo nodded his head and added that he was grateful for the information.

However, even Kang-woo, who expressed his gratitude to Moon Jun-hyuk, could not hide his rapidly darkening expression when Moon Jun-hyuk said that he was anxious like everyone else.

‘Damn.’

Should I have persuaded the people who occupied the bank somehow?

Kangwoo furrowed his brows, but Kim Seungho urged the team members again.

“The number of Class A awakeners is less than ten every year. This is such an ordeal. Even if hundreds of thousands of people attempt it, it is an ordeal that not even ten people can pass. So… Just give up at this point, okay?”

Even if they gave up the trial today, the second day of the big trial, they were still B-class awakened people who could get out of the tower.

A class A awakened person who went through an ordeal on the 50th floor and a B class awakened person who went through an ordeal on the 40th floor.

Although it is said that there is a very large gap even though it is only one grade, even B grade was enough to go out and make a living.

To the extent that there is no reason to risk one’s life and remain in this ordeal.

“Let’s just leave, let’s go. “I don’t want to see my brothers and sisters getting hurt.”

Kim Seung-ho spoke with sincerity as he recalled the countless corpses of awakened people killed by the Lizardmen that he witnessed in front of the Cultural Center yesterday.

Yoo Seung-ah, shaken by that earnest plea, glances at Kang-woo.

“I… I don’t think what Seungho said was wrong….”

With this, the number of people who wanted to give up climbing increased to two. Then, Choi Seo-hee, Moon Jun-hyuk, and Hwang Yi-seo, who had been silent as if organizing their thoughts, opened their mouths one after another.

“I don’t think it’s bad. “I wasn’t that greedy for the awakened level in the first place.”

“Me too… I think leaving is the right choice in the current situation.”

“Nothing is certain yet, but due to the nature of the ordeal, the safe zone is not opened until midnight. “When I think it’s too late, I think it might really be too late.”

They spoke in circles, but their meaning was the same.

As Kim Seung-ho said, we should give up climbing at this point and leave the tower.

Kim Seung-ho, who could not hide his joy at the fact that his persuasion worked, looked back at Kang-woo with his eyes shining.

“Hyung-“

Let’s just leave.

I feel like I can clearly hear Kim Seung-ho’s uncontinued words.

When Kim Seung-ho’s eyes shine earnestly as he waits for Kang-woo to open his mouth.

Kangwoo faced those burdensome eyes head on.

‘f*ck…….’

I just smiled brightly.
