Hiding the House in the Apocalypse Chapter 411

166. Nemesis (2)

Someone else’s wedding, first birthday party, or funeral.

I went and paid a lot.

People who attend there receive the amount of money they paid when it is their turn, and they also calculate how much to increase the number of attendees, but I’m not sure.

There must have been quite a few people like me who gave without even thinking about getting it back.

To expect someone like me to repay me is, to be honest, a crude belief that even I do not believe in.

But now, we have no choice but to rely on even that crude faith.

Even if what awaits at the end is disappointment.

Why, isn’t it better than death?

It’s not like they’ll necessarily save me if I help them, and even the person who helped me might die, but if you take everything into consideration, you shouldn’t do anything.

The city must be protected.

The moment the city collapses, our world will turn gray and the true end will come.

An eternal silence where only the eerie echoes of the dead linger.

A message was sent to prevent that certain future.

I asked for help from everyone I knew, everyone I knew even a little bit, without discrimination.

The first person to reply was, in a sense, my closest neighbor.

Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Are skeletons really dangerous?

Rebecca and her daughter were the first friends and neighbors I made in the Destruction.

As a thoroughgoing isolationist and individual survivalist, neighbors were something that could not be reconciled with my beliefs.

Looking back, the process of becoming close with them was a series of miracles.

On the surface, it is a story about me, with my strong fighting power and abundant supplies, saving a mother and daughter in a foreign country with nowhere to turn, but if you dig deeper, it is also a story of salvation for a man who was unable to escape from the pit of the past.

Thanks to them, I was able to break free from the deep-rooted mistrust of humanity that I once mistook for my nature, and take a step forward as a human being.

Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: I’ll try to contact the camp. I don’t know if they’ll listen to me, and I don’t know if they’re even alive yet, but I’ll try!

The mother and daughter requested assistance from the US military in Daegu.

As Rebecca said, I might already be dead and gone without a trace, but I think it’s better than not even trying.

Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Skeleton!

One more message comes to mind.

All that came to mind was just a few bytes of text, but I know who sent that message.

SKELTON: Swoosh!

A message from COOKIEMONSTER18: I was worried because you didn’t come back. I knew you were alive because of the strange writings Skeleton wrote.

SKELTON: ?

A message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Every morning, you would post weird things like “The story of an orphan boy who grew up in an environment full of crime becoming the legendary Hunter P.txt”, “The culprit is the savior K! Hunter P’s eviction was his plan······!”, “My little twat is getting chubby again.gif”….

SKELTON: ?

SKELTON: Is this hacking?

Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: I was thinking that Skeleton was doing well after seeing that.

“······.”

A message from COOKIEMONSTER18: It’ll be okay. If nothing else, my mom is lucky. Of all the people I’ve met, I’m sure Skelton knows how lucky she is.

SKELTON: Body again?

Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Body again?

SKELTON: Ah

That’s what happened to Gong Kyung-min.

SKELTON: Are you talking about a human lottery?

Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: YES!

It is the little things that are truly nothing that can make people mortal enemies or even the closest neighbors.

Rebecca and Sue always taught me simple truths.

I took courage from the mother and daughter and read the message that arrived during my conversation with Suwa.

“uh?”

I’m not the type of person to show my emotions easily, but the moment I saw the nickname in the message, I fell into a state of confusion without realizing it.

It can’t be helped.

Message from dongtanmom: Yum yum······.

When did I send a message to this person?

I would never have sent it if I was in my right mind.

I checked the sent message.

There is a record of sending it.

SKELTON: (Skeleton) I have a favor to ask.

SKELTON: The new Seoul is in danger.

“ah.”

It is presumed that the text was sent using the auto-completion function while half-asleep.

That Dongtan Mom, my senior Baek Seung-hyun, kept sending me messages.

Message from dongtanmom: I see, yum yum… I think I’m in that dying city, yum yum…

Message from dongtanmom: This boring kid was there too yum yum…..

Is it true that people can’t be reformed?

Even though Baek Seung-hyun is an extremely negative person, isn’t he still from the school?

Judging from the fact that he proudly sang the school song, it seems that he had pride in being a hunter at least when he was in school.

No matter how much the world rejects me, I still think there is a certain amount of tolerance for corruption.

A person should not quit being a person.

Message from dongtanmom: Just wait a minute. Yum….

SKELTON: ?

Message from dongtanmom: What are you doing, acting surprised? You act like you haven’t read my posts. Yum yum… I know you read all my posts…

Even though I look at other things, I don’t read Dongtan Mom’s writings.

It certainly has some fun parts, but after watching it, it leaves you with a dirty, sticky feeling in your soul.

Message from dongtanmom: I’m looking forward to it… yum yum….. Stop pretending to be a named person… you named person appeal kid lol yum…..

I immediately opened Notepad.

“······.”

Tadadadadak-

A sentence was completed in an instant in the notepad.

-Did you go crazy after drifting around the sea without a home and getting pickled in salt water?

The true function of a notepad.

Even if I press the Enter key, it doesn’t send.

Only I can see it.

If you don’t save, that’s the end.

Before the war, this notepad feature saved more people from libel and defamation lawsuits than any lawyer.

“······.”

Anyway, with this, one dangerous moment has passed.

Dongtan Mom.

This guy is helping us?

I don’t understand it, but I don’t have the time or the desire to go in and read his writings, which are full of yum-yum.

I wonder if my popularity was in vain, as two messages arrived at the same time.

The first person I looked at was an unexpected person.

Message from anonymous458: Just now. I read your message.

This is anonymous458.

If I had to describe this guy in one word, it would be that he is like air.

He has been the backbone of our bulletin board as an average user without being too obtrusive or revealing himself like a background.

He was a member of the now defunct social club that often hung out with the now defunct Kyledos and Anonymous848. After his internet friends disappeared, he showed a depressed appearance for a while, but he did not seem to be shaken and has shown the same background as before.

Now, looking back on four or five years since the war began.

Sometimes I want to ask where he lives and how he lives.

No matter how much we prepare for destruction, there aren’t many of us who have prepared for more than three years.

Everyone has said the death knell once or twice, but he never once expressed pessimism about the situation, nor did he do the self-revealing things that people in a corner usually do.

I thought he was a very strong person internally.

Perhaps my usual high opinion of him was the direct reason why I sent him a message asking for help even though he had not yet revealed himself.

That anonymous 458 said.

Message from anonymous458: I know the situation roughly through the news that Emgu relays every day.

Message from anonymous458: A giant guy came and fell down, creating a field and monsters swarmed over it?

Message from anonymous458: This is exactly what the kids from the riverside and the North Koreans said.

Message from Anonymous458: Anyway, I know this may not be comforting, but we’re trying to help you in our own way.

Message from anonymous458: There were patriots in North Korea, too. No, I should say they were the people’s true heroes. Even as the country was being destroyed and turned upside down, there were friends who protected the cracked zone, and the area they protected survived without being eroded until the very end. It’s a story about human resistance being able to resist erosion.

Message from Anonymous458: We are discussing it, but we need to protect the city so that we are safe.

Message from anonymous458: Just hang in there for a little longer. We’ll do our best.

“······.”

I feel my heart being filled.

Even if it is just empty words of comfort, there are definitely moments when your heart is filled with just those few words.

I checked another message with a heavy heart.

I feel sorry for those who have encouraged me so far, but the moment I checked the nickname of the writer of the message I just received, my heart started pounding.

It can’t be helped.

A message from CrunchRoll: Hey. Skeleton.

The king sent a message.

Realistically, he is the most powerful force that can help us.

I waited silently for his next message.

A message from CrunchRoll: Let me be honest and blunt. It’s none of my business whether you fuck with Seoul kids or not.

What did you do to me?

Message from CrunchRoll: Oh, I was a military service worker. Uh. While swearing in as a proud American citizen to congressmen and conglomerate children, I was dragged into the military and fucked around, and after getting a job, I was a government-certified swindler who frugally and blatantly took all my money.

A message from CrunchRoll: But you know what? I owe you something.

A message from CrunchRoll: It’s also a huge burden to lose the meat shield called Seoul.

A message from CrunchRoll: Hang in there, Skeleton.

A message from CrunchRoll: I’ll help you in any way I can.

“······.”

Knock knock

SKELTON: King······.

Message from Crunchroll: You don’t have to thank you and contact him.

SKELTON: Who?

A message from CrunchRoll: There’s this kid who keeps yapping.

Of course, I sent a message to that friend too.

I am Jesus.

King of the Dead.

But there is some uneasiness.

Before us is the king of monsters who can neutralize Awaken.

Although I.M.Jesus’s abilities are certainly impressive, can I.M.Jesus, who has similar or lesser strength, really be effective when even Woo Min-hee can’t exert his power?

Anyway, I tried sending a message to IAMJESUS ​​again.

SKELTON: I am Jesus. Are you there?

Not everyone responds to what I say.

IamJesus didn’t reply to my message.

Personally, my heart sank for a moment when I didn’t hear back from an important friend to whom I had personally given a considerable amount of congratulatory money, but my connections were not limited to the Internet.

My real-life colleagues came to me.

“Park Gyu.”

“Senior Park!”

Ha Tae-hoon and Bang Jae-hyuk came.

I asked, startled by the unexpected appearance of my colleagues.

“No, what do you do there?”

Ha Tae-hoon answered with a bitter smile.

“This country is on the verge of collapse, so we can’t just stay there.”

Bang Jae-hyuk explained further.

“I asked the US military for help.”

“American soldiers?”

“There’s that big girl and that tall, skinny girl.”

Rebecca and Sudha.

“They decided to take care of it for a while. Our base is full of women anyway.”

I feel reassured if Rebecca and her daughter take care of it.

by the way.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

I saw my colleagues.

Especially their eyes.

These are people who, unlike me, have something to lose.

But their eyes only show a hint of foolishness, and they are covered in indifferent and cold colors.

These are the eyes of a hunter.

I had a lot to say, but I didn’t ask any more.

I reached out to them.

“Please take care of me.”

It was a bit strange, but we shook hands.

“My legs are a bit uncomfortable, but I can handle heavy duty in a defensive battle, so feel free to leave it to me.”

Bang Jae-hyuk tries to appeal his worth, but he is a good enough shooter.

I guarantee it.

After accepting the two excellent hunters, we returned to our quarters.

I wanted to thank Rebecca and her daughter.

Perhaps he had established himself in our territory before he ever spoke to me, but he didn’t tell me that he was a mercenary in our territory because he was afraid I would worry.

But a new message has arrived.

Is it I am Jesus?

I felt a sense of hope rising and checked who the message was from.

“······.”

Message from unicorn18: Hello

This is Na Hye-in.

I didn’t send her a message.

There are many reasons, but the main reason is that she is from Jeju and, like Woo Min-hee, she is afraid of cracks.

In the first place, it has not even been confirmed whether she is still in Jeju or Ganghwa.

Above all, she was Kang Min’s strong partner.

They were known as a pair with Kang Han-min and always moved together.

She couldn’t possibly ignore Kang Han-min’s gaze.

I couldn’t know because I didn’t look inside Kang Han-min’s head, but I felt like I had a vague idea of ​​what that friend, that reckless friend, was thinking.

“Phew.”

Anyway, for now, the priority is to reply to Na Hye-in.

I hate waiting.

Na Hye-in will probably be the same.

Now that I think about it, we’re quite similar.

“······.”

Knock knock

SKELTON : Yeah yeah:)

Message from unicorn18: ? What is that? That weird emoticon.

SKELTON: (Skeleton Picasso) A cubist emoticon application.

Message from unicorn18: You do so many weird things. Even though it doesn’t seem like you would do anything like that.

“······.”

Message from unicorn18: Anyway, I heard about your situation. I heard it’s very critical?

Message from unicorn18: I didn’t mean to, but I’m going there too.

SKELTON: What?

Message from unicorn18: I’ll help you too. Skeleton.

Message from unicorn18: No, Professor.
