Chapter 19: For That Handful Of Silver Coins (2)
Swish!
Kiraltech Shower booth set for small shelter is?
217,800 shillings
Two Z-type air purifiers?
Two for 160,00 shillings..
What?
If one wants to live long in the wasteland, one should not dwell too much in the past. Is what is being said here something like, ah, survivor, arent the days ahead too beautiful?
The next day, I almost lost my temper and smashed Koduro in half in my sleep. And as soon as I woke up in the morning, the thought that came to my mind was too late.
Isnt it far more cost-effective to discover a solution than simply accepting what has already been done? Thats why Ive been in this bright living room since the morning, sorting my purchased list with half-broken Koduro.
We have to determine the extent of financial damage we have.
Active reactive automatic turret-mounted.
Uh well, I got it for cheap as the number of shelters installed these.
Koduro.
9320 shillings
Flinch!
M-master, I have committed a mortal sin!
No. The sin isnt to die, but the sin is to kill. Thanks to you, I feel like I am going to die.
Ugh
In my mind, I constantly thought back on numerous things to endure this horrid situation. Inner peace~ inner peace! Why do I have to do this even outside the game!
All my faultthis is all my fault. This is because Shelter AIs decision-making freedom is set to the highest one. This was all possible as long as the three principles werent violated.
It couldnt be helped living alone in a wasteland where one didnt know what would happen.
Right before I die, I would be like, Koduro, overload the turret and blow away everyone! but then it would only say, I apologize as I do not have the authority to destroy your shelter, then??
In case of an unexpected situation, I needed a colleague who could think on my behalf.
and that is why it has been here for 4 months.
Uhh, stupid Park Gyosu, ignorant one! How did you unite with this crazy idiot AI!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Mmaster, calm down! You will break your head!
Ah, it is fine! Because this is the punishment I need to take for my past actions. Leave me alone.
After such a short period of agony and suffering, I was at a loss for words when the final list was seen.

Hahahahahaha
Right, this had to be the amount. Now, I am going crazy for real!
Clap! Clap!
The number was so huge that I began to clap.
Yah, the receipt is so huge. Its so heavy that I couldnt even hold it.
I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry! I believed that the broadcast would be amazing and did it in
When should we pay for this?
Around 10 days I think
Fucking bloodsucking bastards.
2.4 million in ten days.
Seeing Koduro next to me, acting all restless, I sighed. If it was me before, I would have just begun to swear at it. And when I started to write down the list of things, the things it bought were all somewhat familiar.
Ahh! Shower! I want to take a shower! I want a hot shower! Koduro! What is the point of a cold shower when I dont even move!
Yah, Koduro! We live in wasteland, but shouldnt we be able to breathe at home? My ears feel like they are filled with dust from everywhere. We need to bring a vacuum cleaner or purifier!
Cough! Ah, it hurts so bad. It would have been easier if there was just one more person. Did you catch all the variants that came this time?
I want to eat sweets.
Ah, this? Nothing, the pipe shotgun exploded again.
Koduro, we arent going to die like this, right? H-how did we survive this far? It is like freezing to death, this this is soo.
Koduro!
Koduro!!
I did see an arrow, and one side has to be a hound scav, and the others who are hostile to the Hound Scab? Benny Anarchist? Wanderer?
Knowing the identity would help fix some information. Hound Scavs are everywhere, so that isnt useful information.
I, who had stopped breathing, listened to the noise and softly sighed as he pulled a shotgun from his pocket and loaded it. Apparently, there is no way to get out of this alley without a risk.
-clack!
At that moment, the sound of a heavy 12 gauge bullet settling in the city center filled with only rustling wind came in, and I gave strength to my leg.
Tak! Tak!
Crack!
A dusty hand protruded from behind the wreckage where the enemy was supposed to be hiding and threw three stones in my direction.
It was a signal when used in the military, a sign when encountering unknown troops in a place voice cannot be used.
Three stones flew at me. Well, it meant, I know you are there.
avoiding fighting is the best way. If we fight here, all the scavengers around will come up. And if this is a trap.
He felt a bit confused at that as Kodura said, what if he had brought a Molotov cocktail? How important will a throwable bomb be in a street fight? Even the opponent looks to be from the military. When faced with enemies, the most dangerous ones are military ones.
After thinking for a while, Gyosu made the decision. He fumbled on the nearby floor, picked up three small stones, and then three to the opponents rubble.
Tak! Tak!
First of all, it was communicated that they didnt intend to attack, and I pushed the gun out
Step-
On the other side, a crouched man dressed like me too slowly walked out with hands above his head.
Step, step.
Being vigilant like me, the man who approached the wall spoke in a voice resting with anticipation and anxiousness.
Hey, hey, foreigner. Gun down. If you shoot here. You and I will both die. What are you doing?
I am a passerby. You?
well, then, I am a scavenger. What unit did you serve?
Are we close enough to answer that?
Hehe, you ignorant jerk.
He said so, but Gyosu was lowering the guy. The other side had exposed himself first, so he thought he had to adjust slightly.
. I am moving to the next area for a while because of money.
Oh, that is an obvious reason. But the next area the 47? Am I right?
I nodded, and the man giggled.
You came at an amazing time.
Did something happen?
Um, yes. About a very annoying one.
Clack!
Suddenly the mans hand moved to the side of Gyosu, who immediately aimed the gun at the head of the guy.
You are quite a sensitive friend. If you stay in this town, you might have your nerves burst with how sensitive you are.
What are you doing?
What? I am about to favor a comrade who is slow with the latest information.
The man who grabbed the map from Gyosus pocket took the pencil from behind his ear.
Oh, you made it so nicely. This is quite good.
The man observed the map with joyous eyes, picked up a pencil, and began pointing at the entire Area 45.
You, what are you doing!
Ah, wait. Since everything has a meaning
In an instant, the map Gyosu made was covered in black, and the man spat on his finger as he erased a dot on the underground in a circle.
Okay, there. The latest information of Area 45.
The man folded the map and handed it back to Gyosu.
I had a great time meeting you, comrade. Bye.
Hehe! You are a friend with a taste for playfulness.
Tak
The mans squiggly fingers touched Gyosu.
There was a pretty big battle yesterday. The raptors came to do something and accidentally touched a group of scavengers, so they and their allies came out like bees, and a battle broke out. I could hear gunshots and bombings all night long, so it has been a while since I slept, hehe.
No wonder. The atmosphere in Area 45 was slightly different from usual.
On point.
Friend, your personality is so not a living for long type. The area where this battle took place was the only uninhabited area in Area 45.
The block with the largest building in the area, but when this building collapses, several buildings that are in danger of falling will start to fall one after another. Well, it wasnt like I was planning to go through it, and I knew it would be a place to get robbed. But in this battle, the bombs exploded, and debris flew around. And do you know what was there?
Gulp
Gyosu gulped. A city with many things around and known to be an arena for gangs. An area closed at the beginning of the war.
No was there something left?
Hehehe! No! There was absolutely nothing left on the ground.
On the ground?
So, still not interested?
No, I am interested. Enough to see the vision of Shillings vanishing from the head.
Looking at Gyosu with his mouth wide open, the man lowered the scarf on his head and laughed like a bad boy.
Right. Under that wreckage, there was an underground structure that no one knew about! Rumor has claimed that a big shelter complex will be built by the wealthy, understanding that Area 45 is a worthless zone. All of Area 45s scavengers and those with knowledge obtained from here are swarming here!
The man spoke with a dreamy face as the voice got lower.
A huge treasure chest that had been sleeping softly with the whole block in ruins has now opened up five years later!
