Absolute Person in Every Corner - Absolute Person in Every Corner chapter 52
[Episode 11] Encounter (7)
The next morning, the first thing I told my grandfather was the news of my parents.
The method was simple.
All I had to do was pass the smartphone that took the video there.
‘I never thought I’d be using my smartphone like this!’
In the meantime, I thought it only served as an expensive watch, but it became a digital camera worth 1 million won.
After confirming that my parents were alive, my grandfather was overjoyed and played our video several times next to my grandmother.
“Jaehyun. Can’t we watch the videos of grandparents too?”
“I’ll ask you to take a picture.”
After watching the video of the grandmother and grandfather that Ha Dong-gun filmed, the mother shed tears.
“I’ll see you soon.”
When the outbuilding is completed, you will be able to move over to your grandfather’s main house with the Absolute Door skill.
I asked Ha Dong-gun’s party to hunt monsters based on the main house while the construction was finished.
The reason was time.
‘I never thought it would have such an effect!’
[There are three vassals with the title of [Knight] at the ‘Outbuilding’ construction site. Increases construction efficiency by 50%.]
The mere presence of Ha Dong-gun, Oh Eon-joo, and Kim Da-jeong increased construction efficiency.
Originally, it meant that the construction of the outbuilding, which took a week, would be completed in five days.
In addition, due to the monster wave that happened yesterday, the number of monsters in the vicinity of the main house had increased tremendously.
The levels of the monsters were also the same, and hunting there was several times more efficient than returning here and continuing hunting.
‘Because now I have to walk 1km to hunt here’
After the area declared in each corner was increased to a radius of 1 km, the frequency of hunting by citizens decreased dramatically.
This was because citizens who did not know that the territory had increased were wandering in the usual hunting places.
That place had already been incorporated into the house area, and the remaining goblins all died with the level up yesterday.
[Mr. Dabin.]
[Yes, Jaehyun.]
[There is something I want people to know.]
[Yes, please tell me.]
[First of all, explain to people that the area has increased. Now you will have to go beyond Seomyeon Station to hunt.]
It wasn’t just this that mattered.
[And please create a relief team.]
[A relief team?]
[Yeah. We need people to rescue survivors within the realm.]
There were thousands of survivors in the newly expanded territory.
Most of them were in very serious situations.
[Citizen Jeongho Kang has died.]
‘Another dead’
More than ten people have already died since yesterday.
That is within the area of safe home and corner declarations.
The biggest cause was the lack of drinking water. People who couldn’t go outside because of the monsters were dying of dehydration inside the house.
I was using the eyes of the absolute to release relief supplies whenever I found a citizen in a poor situation, but I alone was not enough.
If they were still conscious, it was enough to provide relief goods, but too many people were dying unconscious.
[Please include those who came yesterday and demanded the establishment of a medical team as part of the relief team. It will definitely help.]
[all right.]
I wanted to save as many people as possible.
I was thinking of using the Eye of the Absolute to save as many people as possible, and if necessary, use the Door of the Absolute to visit them directly or even use a quest grant to treat them.
“Jaehyun. Why are you making such a serious face?”
“that…”
I briefly explained the situation to my mother.
After hearing all the circumstances, the mother said.
“I think I can help with that.”
“really?”
“then.”
Some of the people my mother brought had similar abilities to Da-jung Kim.
It was a ‘heal’ or ‘care’ ability, and in the case of care, it was an ability that had excellent performance against abnormal conditions such as dehydration, fainting, and poisoning.
“And I’d like to meet some of those doctors, but if you sign a subordination contract, you’ll probably awaken a similar ability.”
It was as expected by the mother.
Almost 80% or more have awakened their treatment-related abilities.
However, the level of awakened ability was very different. Most of them were grade D or C, and the overall level was low.
‘Still, even this alone is of great help.’
In fact, once the relief team started moving, the situation quickly calmed down.
Seo Ye-jin searched for the survivors, and a relief team was dispatched mainly to those in the most serious condition, and I used the eyes of the absolute to support those who needed supplies.
I spent a really busy day without a bird to open my eyes.
After three days and three nights of hard work, I was able to look around all the houses in the realm.
Nearly a hundred people died in the process, but many more were saved.
‘…finished!’
When I checked up to the last house, I lay down on the bed as if I collapsed and immediately fell asleep as if I passed out.
After about an hour of sleep, it was a system notification that woke me up.
[An object that satisfies the conditions to be accepted as a citizen has approached every corner of the house.]
[Would you like to offer citizenship?]
Since the area expanded, new citizens continued to flow in.
Thanks to this, the number of citizens was already approaching 10,000.
‘Offer year’
shoot aaa
Suddenly it was pouring rain outside.
‘Even though I haven’t slept in a while, I feel refreshed!’
Thanks to the rewards coming in from daily quests, his stamina was greatly increased.
The increase in mental strength also seemed to play a big role.
At that time, Dabin Kim’s telepathy came through.
[Jaehyun.]
He responded immediately using the Ring of Communication.
[What happened?]
[The relief team came up with an opinion to rescue people outside the area.]
[Out of range? It must be dangerous.]
[I’ve been told that now is the golden time, so I must go out.]
I could understand what they were saying.
When the area of the apartment complex was expanded, the condition of the survivors was not as serious as it is now.
Most people were hungry and suffering from thirst, but few were on the verge of death from severe dehydration.
Now comes the point where most people reach their limit.
golden time.
It could be said that the golden time that will literally never come again is right now.
If we pass now, countless people will lose their lives.
It meant that in the future, even if they expanded their territory, they would accept more corpses than survivors.
‘I’ll save at least one more person.’
Outside the realm now, at most, it was a very different state from the days when there were only goblin hordes.
‘The marine monsters that came from the sea came all the way here.’
It wasn’t a lot.
But marlins flew in the sky, and land sharks roamed the roads.
Occasionally, the appearance of giant crustaceans could also be found.
It is an environment in which it is difficult for ordinary people to even dare to go outside.
They were coming and casualties were occurring in the hunting team, so the hunting was stopped except for a few teams.
Even though it is such a dangerous situation, they are risking their lives to go to rescue people.
They were great people.
‘Is it because there are many ex-firefighters?’
Among the firefighters, there were especially many people who had the conviction to save people with their lives. I think it’s probably because they actively voiced their opinions.
‘Do you like it’
[Mr. Dabin. I will attach a hunting team as security, so please tell the relief team to wait for a while.]
[all right.]
Currently, there are only two teams that can move while protecting others outside.
‘It’s just Lee Jun-hyeok’s team and the hunting team led by my father.’
The criterion was whether or not they could catch a level 30 giant crustacean.
Lee Jun-hyeok’s water bomb was stronger than expected and could shatter the crustacean’s armor, and so did his father.
It was then.
[You hunted the Giant Crab (Lv. 33).]
[Acquire experience points.]
‘Did Dad go out hunting even though it was raining like this?’
Seeing that there was no settlement money at all, it meant that the father, a blood relative, hunted monsters.
After discovering that his physical abilities improved dramatically after unlocking the power of his blood relatives, his father took pleasure in hunting.
To be honest, I was a little worried at first, so I attached Seo Ye-jin’s mouse, but after watching the giant crab’s chitinous armor smashed with one punch, I gave up my worries.
But then.
[You hunted the Hammer Shark (Lv. 25).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[You hunted the sawfish (Lv. 22).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[You hunted Blue Crab (Lv. 28).]
[Acquire experience points.]
Suddenly, hunting messages began pouring in.
No matter how strong his father was, he couldn’t hunt monsters at this speed.
There is only one person who can do this at this point.
‘Grandpa’
Immediately, Ha Dong-gun used the eyes of the absolute toward the party.
shoot it
It was pouring rain there.
Kwakwang!
It was broad daylight, but the sky covered in dark clouds only gave off flashes of light.
[what’s going on?]
Ha Dong-gun replied.
“It’s a monster wave.”
As expected, another monster wave was unfolding.
‘This is already the third time.’
This phenomenon, which first appeared about four days ago, was thought to have happened only the other day or so.
And it’s happened three times in total so far.
This time, it was the same that most of the monsters passed by, but there were more than usual.
‘If this is the case, the proportion of marine monsters will continue to increase on the inland side as well.’
As much as that, the survival of ordinary people will become more and more difficult.
‘Why does this keep happening?’
Good luck!
Looking ahead, the roots of the world tree were once again active.
A huge number of sea monsters were pouring towards this place, and the tree root wall that my grandfather had built was handling it.
Fu-wook! Kwajik!
The sound of being stabbed and smashed was coming from the place where the monsters were gathered.
The experience point acquisition message that constantly came up was a bonus.
But this time, even if the amount of monsters was high, there were too many.
Koo Goo Goo! Wow!
The tree-root wall my grandfather had built was still strong, but the concrete building that stood next to it was not.
The concrete building that could not overcome the pressure was destroyed and an empty space was created.
The monsters poured out all at once through the cracks created in the process.
Wedge love!
Ha Dong-gun’s spear and Kim Ga-young’s arrow reacted first.
The head and body of the monster that escaped exploded and died instantly.
However, as long as the corpse disappeared, new monsters continued to come out through the cracks.
“Kreung!”
Oh Eon-joo prepared for the upcoming battle by turning into a water person, but her turn did not return.
The tree giants waiting behind the tree root wall began to step forward.
Kwajik! Fu-wook!
Tentacles extending from the tree giants pierced the flowing monsters and made them unable to move.
Tree roots expanded and completely filled the hole while the still-living ones struggled.
It was a moment when the balance was maintained with the overwhelming power of the grandfather.
Quarreureung!
Something gigantic wriggled under the colorful lightning.
‘yes?’
At first, I thought it was just an illusion.
however.
Qurrr!
I could clearly see the next flash of lightning.
‘….What is that?’
He was looking down at this place from a great distance.
It was raining and the sky was dark, so I could only see shadows, but seeing it from this distance indirectly told me how huge it was.
By the way.
‘has disappeared?’
In an instant, his figure disappeared.
So at first I thought it was just an illusion.
however.
coo coo coo-
The ground trembled.
Quagwagwagwa!!
The shaking got louder and began to break the ground and knock down buildings.
I saw the sight of an apartment building in the distance not being able to overcome the earthquake and falling sideways.
aaang!
When the more powerful vibration reached its climax with a huge explosion,
Kwajik!
Not far away I saw a great swell in the ground.
Kwagwagwang!
The concrete floor exploded like a pimple, and a thick column of soil rose from it.
Overlight!
The rain-soaked soil fell off, and what emerged from it was a huge head full of white scales.
The giant reptile’s eyes were looking down at Ha Dong-gun Patti and Grandpa indifferently.
「White Dragon (Lv. 63)」
It was the appearance of a monster.
