Soon the military base ca into view and they could see the high walls and several watchtowers around. The vehicles slowed down as they arrived at the gates, where the few guards were stationed.
After a quick exchange between the guards and the major, they were let inside. The inside looked like a relief camp after a disaster had struck with rows of tents everywhere.
The civilians moved about, working alongside the military personnel. So of them had ford patrol teams while so were assisted the others with other minor tasks.
Then there were those using their specialized skills. They were crafting items or repairing other structures using the abilities awakened during the tutorial.
"Not bad," YuWon mumbled, looking out the window.
At first, he was skeptical, but once they arrived, he realized the major wasn't lying. They had been rescuing others from nearby areas.
I wonder if the people from the college are here too.
After the performance YuWon and Yeji did before the others, it would be troubleso for him if anyone from the college was there.
"You said you were from the technical college, right?" the major asked as the cars stopped.
"Yes."
"How co there weren't more of you together?"
"We got separated after the final boss fight," YuWon gave a definitive answer to not get bothered anymore.
"Hm... I shouldn't say this," the major sighed, ignoring the topic before. "But despite the organized structure you're seeing, it'll collapse soon."
YuWon raised an eyebrow, confused. The major saw him and shook his head before continuing.
"The supplies we have, are nothing compared to the number of survivors. That's why we were raiding the supermarkets. But in vain," he said. "Eventually, everyone will realize it and it'll cause problems for us."
YuWon didn't need another hint. He already knew what the major wanted to say. In his eyes, most people in the base were just dead weights. That's why he was searching for powerful people who wouldn't think twice about doing what needed to be done when the ti ca.
He might have liked using my sword on that soldier... wait, that sounds wrong.
Before they could chat more, a lady ca running towards the major. She had brown hair and srizing green eyes, sothing that the soldiers around seed to be infatuated with.
"Brother, you're back!" she said, hugging the major. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Yeji's eyes shone when she saw the girl acting towards her brother. She glanced at YuWon as if she was making a ntal note of how to take care of him.
"I'm fine, Yuna, don't worry about ," the major replied, flicking the young lady's head.
Yuna smiled and turned towards YuWon and the gang. "You brought so new guests. Welco! It's not much, but it is safer than the outside."
Despite Yuna's sweet deanor, YuWon could see right through her. He had t girls like her before and knew their true nature of being a leech.
The major might not know it, or maybe he did, but didn't want to think about it. Yuna was an opportunist. The only reason she was being sweet to everyone was because she probably knew about the shortage of resources.
When the ti ca, she would use her kindness to win people over and get whatever she needed, whether it was food or sothing else.
But that's no reason to be rude to her.
YuWon smiled and introduced everyone.
"Yeji and Gina, wow, you are so pretty!" Yuna grabbed both of their hands. "Let's do our best to survive this hell."
"...sure," Yeji replied, no longer taking notes on Yuna's interactions.
Once the introductions were done, Yuna went back to the major to talk about a few things about the base and preparing a barrier. Since they were talking in hushed tones, YuWon couldn't get what they were talking about, but Gina did.
The more they talked, the deeper Gina frowned. As expected, the brother-sister duo was hiding sothing. But as much as YuWon wanted to know what, he would have to wait and ask Gina about it later.
Once they finished talking, the major departed with the soldiers, leaving Yuna to guide them through the base.
"Co on! I'll show you people around," she said, grabbing YuWon's hand.
But the mont she touched him, a strange prompt appeared before him.

YuWon looked at the pendant hanging on his neck. But he had no recollection of putting it on. In fact, he vividly rembered throwing it into his inventory, but sohow it had ended up around his neck.
Wait, that's not the important thing. I can see other people's stats?
It didn't take long for YuWon to realize the unfair advantage he had over people now. Although the pendant wasn't perfect, it was better than nothing.
Unfortunately, he didn't notice the deadly glares Gina was shooting at him. While he was busy staring at the prompt and smiling, the other saw sothing different. They saw Yuna holding his hand, and him smiling like an idiot.
"Husband..." Gina whispered, snapping YuWon out of his trance. "What are you doing?"
Only then did YuWon realize what was happening and pull his arm away.
"Gina… uh, it's not what you think!" he hurriedly said whatever ca to his mind. But Gina didn't reply and turned her head away from him.
"Oh my," Yuna covered her mouth, acting all shy. "I didn't know you were married! What have I done? Sister, don't get angry at him. It's my fault for being careless."
Just shut up before you make things worse for ...
