Apocalypse Needs Old People Episode 105

69. Candy (1)

I moved the plane a little way away from the Candy Zone, not over the Candy Zone.

“If a plane suddenly appears, you should be on guard. By now, even newbies should know that the area they are in is the area with the lowest difficulty.”

“Do I really need to change my clothes?”

Han Yeo-bom took off her pure white military uniform and changed into her regular clothes, grumbled as she put on a coat over it.

“It’s uncomfortable without a military uniform. And it’s cold.”

“If you were me, would you just stand there and let a foreigner in military uniform walk in?”

“Oh, I don’t like this shirt because it sticks to me. Do you have anything else?”

“If you don’t like it, you can take it off and come in. I didn’t really want to lend it to you, though.”

Peter Parker, whose casual clothes were stolen from us, glared at Han Yeo-bom for a moment and said.

“But, that’s not wrong. Why did you change your clothes? With your superpower, you could just descend like a god and kidnap that newbie.”

As expected of a conscientious thief, he doesn’t seem to have any intention of taking newbies into consideration.

Han Yeo-bom seemed to have the same thoughts as me and clicked her tongue.

“Because of guys like you, the safe zone has become a ruined game with only veterans left! Because they slaughter newbies as soon as they enter!”

“It’s a good thing for them, because they haven’t been possessed by this game.”

“What? Are you the type that wants to go back to reality?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Who on earth would want to stay in a world that’s about to end? Unless you’re a serious social misfit, you’d probably want to go back to a world like this.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

While the social misfits were silent, Luna suddenly burst out of the jewel, climbed on top of my head, and lashed out at Mickey Parker.

[What a world! Apologize to the people of this world!]

“Holy Cat. What is this?”

Judging by Mickey Parker’s reaction, it seems he hasn’t heard about Luna’s existence from the Topamin addict.

Did the addict not tell anyone about the brother in the ring?

Since I had no obligation to explain, I simply dismissed it by saying, “Hyung.”

“Hyung? … Idam said you bring a lot of strange things with you, and it’s true.”

I guess there wasn’t much to do in the Unicorn Zone.

It’s amazing that you told Mickey Parker such little details.

Now that I think about it, I should also ask how he got the power he has… But right now, I’m hesitant to ask because Han Yeo-bom and Tae-jung are there.

The ability he possesses is that of a monster that appears after the second apocalypse, so if we were to explain his ability, the story might go as far as saying that the dopamine addict from the Unicorn Zone ‘regressed’.

At that moment, Tae-jeong, who had gone to change clothes, appeared with an embarrassed face.

His attire was the same pure white military uniform he had been wearing until just a moment ago.

“What? Why are you still the same?”

When Han Yeo-bom asked that, Tae-jeong answered in a small voice.

“My shirt won’t close.”

He showed me a tattered shirt that he had tried to wear in his own way.

[The shirt is pitiful… … .]

Well, considering Taejung’s size, it was quite possible.

“Then Taejung, wait here with that pilot.”

“Huh?! With that person?”

Instead of saying that the residents of the Candy District would feel threatened by someone of that size and wearing a military uniform, I just glanced at Mickey Parker and said,

“I know what he’s going to do, so I’ll take him. Someone has to stay and watch him.”

“Ah… In that case, I’ll stay.”

Is it that uncomfortable?

Since Mickey Parker helped Taejung a lot when he was having a hard time, I thought Taejung would be happy if the two met, but it turns out they don’t know each other.

It would have been less awkward if it was a complete stranger, but it felt even more awkward and uncomfortable because it was someone who had their friend’s in-game nickname.

But, well, I guess we’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out if they really don’t know each other.

“You’re not going to mind staying here, are you?”

“Of course. I have no intention of getting involved in any newbie raids, little Darth Vader.”

… Are you just calling me a dictator?

“What! Why am I the only one who has to go down wearing a shirt like this? I have no social skills, so how is it going to help?”

As always, Han Yeo-bom felt objectively wronged.

You can tell why I insist on taking you down there just by looking in the mirror.

Even without going all the way to the Love Zone, a society that values ​​appearances, Han Yeo-bom’s looks will appeal to any zone.

It means that the face is a special remedy for breaking down the boundaries of NPCs.

They say that even the socially misfits in the corners of the room have their uses.

[I am?]

“You too… can go. Instead, take the form of a cat. If you jump out of the ring, they’ll think you’re a monster and be on guard. You’ll also have to communicate with telepathy. Can you stay like a normal cat?”

[No problem! I’m excited!]

Luna was jumping around excitedly and then crawled into my coat pocket with only her face sticking out.

I scratched Luna’s head with the tip of my index finger, then opened the airplane door and got out.

ruler…….

Then, shall we go down and meet the newbie?

* * *

After getting off the plane, Han Yeo-bom and I walked across the snowy field for about 30 minutes and arrived at the outskirts of the Christmas forest where the candy area was.

The Christmas forest is a huge grove of fir trees that stretches out endlessly.

When I saw it from far away, I couldn’t really tell how big it was, but up close, the Christmas tree was so big that I couldn’t even see the top of it if I bent my head all the way over.

The forest shining bright green in the pure white snowfield was beautiful because it was a color that could not be seen in the Cola area.

I wasn’t just amazed.

Because the quiet forest somehow felt eerie.

It might be because, even though it is a forest, I can’t hear any birdsong.

When the second apocalypse comes and flying monsters settle in, you’ll hear some bird sounds, but that’ll be creepy in its own way.

“It’s warm here.”

Han Yeo-bom, who had followed me into the forest, finally opened the collar of her coat that had been tightly buttoned up as if she was ready to live.

“What should I do now?”

“What should I do?”

“Now that I’ve come this far, I know I’m going to scam you again. What do I need to do to prepare for the scam?”

What does this guy know about me?

“Would I scam a newbie?”

“If you’re going to do it… … .”

[I’m going to do it.]

Even Luna… … .

But I’m serious when I say I have no intention of scamming you.

“A new dentist is a smart and alert person.”

“Oh, you really said you were a doctor?”

“So if you commit fraud and get caught, it’ll be hard to regain trust. They’ll probably cooperate with the logout anyway, so just telling them the truth is enough.”

“But, you want to take him to our area. Do you think the newbie will follow along?”

“Fortunately or unfortunately, newbies don’t have any prejudice against me because they haven’t been to the safe zone.”

“If you make it a safe zone, you have to admit that there is bound to be prejudice against you.”

“And the newbie seemed like a good person. So… … .”

“If we just speak nicely, will you understand us?”

“We will stimulate that goodness and make them follow us.”

“… I don’t know what the difference is between this and fraud?”

[But so far, I’ve only touched bad people, so you’ve become completely corrupted…?]

These guys already treat me like a villain because they know what I’m going to offer the dentist.

Well, think what you want.

I just need to take care of the newbies.

at that time.

“… … !”

Luna suddenly craned her head, perked up her ears, and began to look beyond the forest.

“What’s wrong, Luna?”

[There’s something over there.]

“There’s something?”

Han Yeo-bom and I looked at each other and simultaneously walked towards each other.

As Luna got closer to the direction she was looking, she heard something like noise.

Luna said, sticking her head out of my coat pocket.

[It looks like they’re fighting.]

“who?”

[I don’t know. But I feel like a jewel too.]

If you feel a jewel, it means there is a monster in front of you.

Are the Candy District residents out to hunt monsters in front of me?

As they walked a little further, the sound of a monster’s cries mixed with the screams came out and Han Yeo-bom could clearly hear it in her ears.

-Ahh!

An unmistakable human scream.

Han Yeo-bom and I started running towards it without saying who would go first.

The voices that could be heard became clearer and clearer.

“Saint!”

“I’ll hold you back, so you guys can go back to the village!”

“No, Saint! It’s dangerous!”

‘saint!’

In the Candy Zone, the only people called saints are players.

I saw the dentist get the title of Saint of the Christmas Forest in the highlight video, so there’s no doubt that I have a newbie in front of me.

As we ran towards the place where the sound was coming from, beyond the fir tree grove, a group of people moving urgently on the open snowy field came into view.

The first thing I saw was an NPC lying on the ground, groaning in pain, as if he had been hit by a monster and blown away, and two villagers running towards him.

Broken bows and arrows were strewn about in the snow, and the dentist was beyond them.

With his shoulder bitten by a giant, white, one-horned jaguar.

‘Why is it here?’

An adult one-horned jaguar is considered a large monster.

But this is the candy district.

Since it is an area that can be conquered just by breathing, it is a place where large monsters rarely appear.

But a large monster came and wandered around near the Christmas forest.

Is something happening in this neighborhood too?

Well, now is not the time to assess the situation.

Because my precious newbie’s shoulder is about to be eaten whole.

‘View the character.’

[Name: Dentist

Title: The Saint in the Christmas Forest

Affiliation Area: Candy

*A friend request has arrived from Player Dentist. Would you like to accept it?]

After confirming that I was a newbie, I spoke to Han Yeo-bom.

“Han Yeo-bom, you go to the NPCs.”

“Get out.”

Han Yeo-bom started running towards the NPCs in the opposite direction from me, and I approached the monsters while gathering thunderstorms in the sky.

Krrrr… … .

Even the one-horned jaguar in the turbulent sky seemed to sense something unusual, as its jaws that had been biting the dentist seemed to lose strength.

I didn’t miss that gap and struck the unicorn’s paw with a lightning bolt.

Boom! Boom!

“Kyaak!”

As two consecutive shots struck, the startled jaguar quickly spat out the dentist’s shoulder it had been biting.

I took my gun out of my inventory and aimed it at the guy.

“Get down.”

Whether he had heard my warning or was weak from his injury, the dentist collapsed helplessly onto the snow.

Boom! Bam!

The bullet fired with a heavy sound, grazing the dentist’s head and shattering the horn standing in the center of the unicorn’s forehead.

“Kwaaak!”

The unicorn jaguar screamed in pain and shook its head violently, but the jewel hidden beneath its shattered horn flashed brightly with each shake of its head.

Shaking your head like that is also a defensive instinct.

You know it’s going to be hard to hit those little gems with an arrow or a gun.

‘but.’

It doesn’t bother me at all.

I put down the gun I was holding and took out a coin.
