Twenty days after entering the gate, we finally completed the important task of securing drinking water. Thanks to this, the secure-drinking-water team almost beca surplus manpower, but they were soon delegated as the second raid team.
The first raid team included Kwon Jae Hyuk and Ha Hyun Seo. As they had done from the beginning, they went out farther to find the exit. The second raid team, that included Jung Yi Joon and Jang Eui Yeol, did not go far out. Instead, they went around the base camp to begin their reconnaissance and exploration.
When the second raid team explored the surrounding area, the monsters were surprised and avoided them. The monsters didnt have the confidence to face a bull that was stronger than them. It walked around with pride. The problem was after those monsters had escaped.
Clang, clang, clang, clang. The ergency bell rang from the centre of the base camp.
Its an attack! Everyone gather round!
Hearing these words, the soldiers who were resting or doing their work, started to arm themselves and moved about as they were trained.
Team 1, Team 2, Team 3 defend the entrance! Teams 4, 5, and 6, guard the research team and the assistants. The rest will be on their guard and deal with anything that cos over the fence! Sniper team, stand by the watchtower!
A high-pitched flute sounded from the tall watchtower in response to the soldiers shouts. There was a fence around the base camp where electricity flowed. The monsters who got hit by the current would run away in surprise, but sotis there were also those who would jump over the fence. Therefore, not only did we need to defend the entrance, we also needed to prepare for any sudden invasions.
The sound of the ground rumbling was getting closer. When everyone was nervous and looked ahead, they saw a pack of monsters scurrying along the path toward the entrance.
Fire!
Hearing a soldiers shout, everyone started shooting. Startled by a loud, thunderous sound, the monsters started to scatter. However, the monsters that were taking the lead, unfortunately, had no choice but to be shot. Luckily, the monsterssurprised by the gunfirescattered and didnt go over the fence. Thus, we were able to end the situation by capturing about three or four monsters.
No casualties?
Yes, there are no injuries or casualties. It has been confird that there is no need to repair the fences or barracks.
All right, dismissed!
Ki Hyun Joo, who was next to , spoke in admiration as she watched everyone relax at those words and disperse to go back to work or rest.
When the monsters first attacked, the soldiers were a bit flustered
Hmm.
I think theyre familiar with them and eradicating them now? At first, it was really ssy, but now theyre really like an army.
As she had said, it wasnt the first ti that the monsters had attacked. The first attack occurred about five days after securing the drinking water. It wasnt an attack on the people, rather the monsters just seed to arrive at the base camp while running around to avoid the second raid team.
Fortunately, there were no casualties; however several barracks were damaged and so people suffered minor abrasions.
After barely subduing them, the soldiers were surprised by the slack in their discipline. They defended better the second ti and beca more skilled the third ti, and now completed the defence without taking any damage.
Hmm Can I eat that?
Ki Hyun Joo smacked her lips when she saw a soldier cleaning up the dead goats body since it could attract another monster with the sll of its blood. Her eyes shone after eating the goat at that was caught during the first attack. The taste of its at was similar to lamb, but slightly stronger. Ki Hyun Joo kept muttering that she wanted to eat it again ever since I shook my head at the sight of the goats condition.
Wouldnt it be difficult to eat? The goat has been completely turned into a rag by the shooting
Sigh
The corners of her mouth dropped regretfully. The goat that was caught during the first attack was edible because they accidentally shot its vital point. This ti, 60 people shot at it until it beca tattered. I wondered if all the muscles were torn.
We can only hope that the sniper team will make a clean shot next ti.
That was all I could say to comfort her.
In any case, we had gradually adapted to the inside of the gate. Ti had passed, and it had been a month since we entered the gate.
Its been a month now. I spent a month here like this. But hasnt it only been about 10 days outside?
Thats right.
Thats cool. Its two months of vacation. If I spend all two months here, I can play for six months. Jung Yi Joon said with a chuckle. This happened because the ti inside the gate was faster than the ti outside. Ki Hyun Joo shook her head when he saw him.
Would you like to spend six months here without a cell phone or TV?
Ugh that
I guess so? said Jung Yi Joon, scratching his head. Everyone burst out laughing.
Will Raid Team 1 co back the day after tomorrow?
I think they will? I heard they have almost reached the centre.
Thats right, the photo taken with the drone showed the exit. We can get out of here soon.
Ki Hyun Joo stretched with a groan. No matter how much she adapted, she couldnt feel comfortable here because she was ingrained with modern conveniences.
I was suddenly curious and asked them what they wanted to do when they got out. We were each lost in our own thoughts.
I want to go in the bathtub and take a bath.
Ah too.
Hmm, I want to sleep on a soft bed. How about you Jang Eui Yeol?
I should probably call my grandmother. She must be worried.
Of course, you should do that.
So, Yoon Jae, what are you going to do when you go out?
Ki Hyun Joo asked as I nodded. I had to speak since other people were looking at with curiosity.
Well I want to eat kimchi stew.
Ah
I was sick of at and military rations, so I desperately thought of Korean food. The others heard and told the na of the food that ca to their mind as if they were also thinking of Korean food. Thats how we greeted the first day of the second month of our gate life, having an amicable conversation and then falling asleep.
Cookie, you need to comb your hair. Where are you going?
[I dont want to!]
Cookie, who ran away every morning because he didnt want to comb his hair, ca to to avoid Jang Eui Yeol. Cookie, who dug into my arms and settled down, growled as if he didnt want Jang Eui Yeol to co closer. He seed to firmly believe that I was on his side.
But today
When I put my hidden hand forward, Cookie was startled. This was natural since I had that comb that he hated in my hand. Cookie looked shocked as he alternated between looking at Jang Eui Yeols empty hands and mine. He had walked himself into a trap.
[How! How could you Ki Yoon Jae!]
Cookie called out to in a voice that sounded betrayed like Emperor Caesars last words, but I gently combed his hair, saying that it would be done soon.1
Cookie looked angry when he found out that Jang Eui Yeol was weak against and then paid for the cri of running away to every ti. When I finished combing his hair, he was sulky and disappeared. I was a little worried because Cookie would usually growls but would never leave .
Is he really mad?
Dont worry. Hell be back soon.
Jang Eui Yeol, who knew his simple personality, comforted by saying, It will be okay. That would be nice, but I looked in the direction where Cookie disappeared and turned to Jang Eui Yeol.
Have a safe trip. Dont get hurt.
Hm, okay.
Haa, really! People would think that hes going out alone! Really!
As I said goodbye to Jang Eui Yeol, Jung Yi Joon approached with a sullen face, looking at while saying huh, really the whole ti. I wanted to feign ignorance since his grumpy face seed to indicate he wanted sothing, but if I did that, it was obvious that he would continue to make a series of huh, really, so I greeted him as well.
You too, dont get hurt.
Do you think Im a kid?
Couldnt he just say that he understood without always saying sothing an like that?
This ti, I looked at him with a sullen face, but I had no choice but to lower my eyes since Jung Yi Joon stared at intently while asking what I was looking at.
Jang Eui Yeol laughed after seeing us like that. It was lunchti after sending them off, but Cookie hadnt co back even though it was ti to eat.
Did Cookie go outside the camp?
Recently, Cookie would go for a walk outside the camp, so naturally, I thought of this. He was so small that people could not see him well, and the electric fence allowed him to pass through if he just bent down. I was a little concerned about him skipping als, but I didnt worry too much because I knew Cookie wouldnt be in any danger.
Maybe Ill give him so jerky when he cos back?
I turned around while thinking so
Huh?
Suddenly the sky beca strange. No, it was originally an unusual and strange sky, but now it had an ominous colour unlike usual. It looked as if it had been sprinkled with blood.
Whats wrong with the sky?
A soldier who was looking up at the sky like muttered as he passed by. Hearing his words, everyone looked up at the sky. As ti passed, the colour of the sky beca darker and the noise of other people grew.
Yoon Jae-ya.
Perhaps because of the noise, Ki Hyun Joo and Ha Eun Seo were by my side before I knew it. Ki Hyun Joo looked uneasy and asked what was wrong with the sky, but I had nothing to say. Because I didnt know why either.
Emperor Caesars last words, You too, Brutus?
