Chapter 6 – Gangnam Station (2)
Hansoo thought of the words that Minchul, who was part of the final brigade, had told him.
He asked because it was so spontaneous.
And then Minchul grinded his teeth.
It seemed like a simple suggestion but there was a problem.
And that’s why it was a hidden piece that needed to be solved by today.
But just getting to the Final Brigade meant that you were an abnormal person and there were about four people who knew about this and they all got something different.
And they were all very useful during the beginning.
‘Let’s see what comes out’
Eventually Hansoo’s group had their eyes on the entrance that led further down.
‘This isn’t… this isn’t Gangnam Station.’
“Are you really going in?”
“I don’t know either. I’m just going by how I feel. By the way anybody can leave or stop following whenever they want to.”
And there was plenty of game around here too.
Since there were many green worms left.
“I’m going in.”
And Mihee, who was contemplating what to do, said while biting down hard.
‘… She must be feeling pressured.’
She probably understood the situation before.
Right now, her face was not a blessing but a curse.
‘Would it be enough even if she slashed her face?’
Jisun and Gangtae, who were a couple, spoke after staring at each other.
Hansoo nodded his head.
It’s a good choice to raise your stats while the people higher up are bickering back and forth.
“I will go down too”
And with that it was decided that four will stay and three will go down.
Hansoo ruthlessly moved his body downwards.
‘He said… it’ll be here when I come down.’
Before coming here he had heard everyone’s individual tutorial area stories.
‘The results… were all different’
But they all had something in common.
On the second floor of the train station, a convenience store was always placed there.
As if they were rewarding you.
“Wahhh!”
The lights were off but there were plenty of goods including fresh water inside.
“There’s even cigarettes”
Taesoon took a few kitchen knives that looked like they could be used as a weapon then found a belt like object to hold them. Mihee blushed as she gathered a few goods like sanitation pads cautiously in the corner.
‘It’s closer to a market than a convenience store…’
As Mihee saw Hansoo who was getting ready to boil something in the corner, she asked with a strange look.
Mihee looked at a pouch in Hansoo’s hands with a puckery face.
Hansoo had cut the goblin leather into a suitable size then brought the blood of the green worm within it.
Hansoo didn’t reply to those words and started to weigh the items on the scale meant for mail.
Hansoo who had weighed everything with extreme detail, poured the blood in one pot and then ripped up the goblin leather, put it in the same pot and proceeded to boil it.
The goblin leather started to melt.
Green worms, when goblins invaded, bit off the goblins and then sprayed blood from an injury in its mouth to melt down the leather.
If the blood of the green worm was to touch their leather, it would become poisonous.
‘The two species probably lived in the same area for a long time.’
Whatever happened, the poison made this way showed a powerful might in the beginning.
And Taesoon, Sangjin and Mihee who had gathered around watched as if it was fascinating.
Taesoon made a slightly suspicious face as he spoke.
“It’s poison.”
“Psychic powers, the knowledge is springing up in my head.”
“…”
‘Seriously, I thought my head was going to explode while memorizing these.’
Hansoo’s magic stat was very high but just because the magic stat rose did not mean intellect rose.
Hansoo’s information that he had painstakingly learned was called
In the earlier years, there were clans or magi who researched these professionally. ‘Though only I survived in the end…’
Keldian firmly told him while handing down the combination methods.
Hansoo, who had thought up to this point, stole a glance at the three who were watching fervently but shook his head.
Since if the correct ratio wasn’t known and the heating time was not done perfectly then it would be useless. Hansoo emptied a nearby shampoo container, filled it with the liquid he created, then applied it to his sword by squeezing the container.
Hansoo nodded as Mihee carefully asked.
And then everyone’s faces brightened up.
“One application costs either a ½ strength or stamina rune.”
Taesoon made an annoyed expression.
“I could just give it to you if I wanted.”
“But if you look at it on the long term, it doesn’t seem like a good choice.” Mihee nodded after thinking about it for a moment.
And Hansoo seemed like a good person to know for long term, or at least he did so far.
Hansoo nodded at those words0
Sangjin and Taesoon nodded eventually without a choice.
The two thought as they presented their swords.
And at those words the people who were squeezing the shampoo bottles applied the poison carefully. Hansoo added something whilst staring into the giant bag latched onto their backs.
“…”
Hansoo gathered a bunch of things then went into a corner where light didn’t reach, digged a hole then buried it. Taesoon and Sangjin, who had seen this, started to gather every food item and started to put them into a large bag.
“If those all disappear, the guys who come here later will chase us with their lives. Leave some.”
The two who looked at Hansoo with a dissatisfied face, started to gather necessities first.
‘…I thought he was only quiet.’
Every single action was extremely reliable.
‘….Won’t a psychic power like that appear for me as well?’ Mihee shook her head after looking at Hansoo in a strange way.
There were countless millions of people who had gone missing but not one had come back.
And for that she had to adapt to this place fast.
No, maybe dying was a better alternative in some situations.
This wasn’t the time to look for a man to protect her but a final method was always important. Taesoon kept on asking Hansoo as he saw him walk through the darkness:
At those words Mihee, who had been staring at Hansoo, and even Sangjin, who had been following quietly, listened in.
“Maybe.”
Hansoo’s knowledge of his own future was not due to psychic powers but a few people who come in the otherworld show special skills that they didn’t have in the real world.
Keldian gave an explanation about traits in this way:
People who had a very good personal trait showed a faster rate of growth than others if they survived the start.
A large variety of traits existed and very dangerous traits existed among those as well. ‘I need to find those guys though.’
“Why did you get quieter all of a sudden?”
Hansoo replied very simply:
Hansoo thought of the annihilation of mankind as he answered.
As there were opponents such as the tribes of abyss who seemed to flood them like water, hope had started to slowly disappear. And thanks to that a person to talk to rapidly decreased.
Taesoon clicked his tongue.
Well whatever happens as long as there’s possibility for him.
And it wasn’t pleasing either.
And when that happens he will become the center of the crowd again.
Taesoon walked forward with hopeful thoughts. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
Normally a magi like Keldian learned and produced these but the other three in the group of the last four surviving people, those other than Keldian, went through tons of stress in order to memorize these.
Since they had enhanced bodies and swords, digging in the ground was very swift.
It was weird that he had used the excuse of psychic powers since the beginning but in a world where monsters and creatures exist something like psychic powers seemed possible.
Mihee looked at Hansoo with a strange look then followed Hansoo, who had gotten out of his seat and proceeded to go deeper into the station, while clenching her teeth.
