Chapter 21: For That Handful Of Silver Coins (4)

I am telling you in advance, hehe! I just want to cure this disease.

Uh, right.

It is someone else from 14, not you, that I need to woe.

Um, okay, okay.

So, take advantage of my special situation and make me a slave

No.

if you try to force me into your group

I will not! Never will that ever happen, so do not even think about it! Erase the thought from the mind!

When entering the house, someone went Master~ and didnt know what kind of accident he had caused; the other said, 14! 14!! and ran around holding the sofa. This is a life one cannot handle.

As soon as I said I forgave him, Vexs rampage stopped right away. After that, the first of a series of good conversations with two awkward individuals came. There is nothing about where one lives, what one does, where one farms, or ones goal.

Hey, Vex. It is good to clean the house, but can we just waste time like this? When, even at this moment, they are gathering like that?

No. If you wait, the opportunity will come.

Ah, you know something? As I thought

Hyung.

Rage!

I said this before; if you talk to me one more time like that, this amazing caregiver of the world will make you pay the price and rip the hair off and hang you under a shelter turret, ratting your mouth, and that is your fate!

What? Cold and calm? Those vanished the moment I met the miracle of Mother Nature in front of me!

How can you be a year younger than me with that face?

It is because the environment of Wasteland is like that?

How did you live for that to even happen? Were you standing at the point of impact or something?

You talk a little much. With a human face

Even if the face value and market pride are different, I can understand, but this is too different! I can understand that your face just looks old, but your voice is also old! You!

Then in the Wasteland, you want me to speak and go, Yo man! Yo woman? This is a survival strategy.

Sagging shoulders. Dwarf build. Old wrinkled face with signs of time. Dry lips and slitted eyes

23 years old?

Damn it! Shouldnt one design a human in moderation?

My game character is also known to have an old body, but that isnt the case in reality. This is more the Benjamin Button.

When I first heard Vexs age, I thought the voice was the problem.

23.

that too is hard. Well, repeat it, how old are you now?

23.

No, I am not asking the age you want to be. Say it with your hands, then? Tens on the left finger and the other on the right. How old are you?

[23]

Yah! Dont you know numbers!

23! I am 23! I look a little old, but I am in my early 20s!

Tch! Then when did the nuclear-

Middle school.

You! You must be lying! I will kill you!

No hyung! Why is it that you dont trust people!

Hyung? Who will believe what you just said? That goes beyond the realm of trust!

.

After a devastating conversation, I firmly nailed Vex to not call me hyung no matter what. I feel bad, but it felt hella creepy when he decided to call me that. Imagine calling me hyung with that face. Geeehh~

Hy-

Tch

Hepburn

Uhhhhh, inner peace!

Yeah, just keep doing what youre doing. So, what happens if we keep waiting?

Tang!

Shot!

When the gunfire was heard, Gyosu jumped up reflexively and pulled out his gun from the bag.

It has started.

As soon as he moved to the window with his backpack, Vex was already watching the situation outside.

Ah, Hepburn.

you didnt sleep?

I woke up due to the noise. It seems to have started.

Thud!

indeed. The signal was too flashy to use a flare.

In the distance, gunshots could be heard from the place they were seeing.

Hepburn. Do you need anything else? I do not have much. If there is something you want, I can bring-

Nonsense.

Gyosu picked up his bag and threw out all the miscellaneous things except for water, food, power lines, and weapons.

It is not just about taking what we need but getting in and bringing out what we need, am I wrong?

Seeing this evil side of Gyosu, even Vex smiled brightly.

Ugh, You!

No need to hide the noise, thanks to the gunshots!

Tap!

Man! Nice.

Puak!

Ack!

Similar to us.

Slash!

The problem is that there are more people than we thought.

If it was quiet, we could have just passed. Why do we have to hold guns and knives?

Vex, who was beheading the guy next to him, replied while turning the neck of the Scavenger hiding near the entrance where Gyosu had already killed three at the same place.

Isnt this better? You are a member of the 14th Unit Forces. You dont know the area as well as I do, yet you can keep up with me and subdue adversaries quicker than I can. Oi the 14th, what were you most in charge of? Special? Stealth? Charge? Support? Or team captain?

Dog shit no purpose then? Um? Me? Well, it isnt something great.

Gyosu looked down at the scavenger, who was suffocating in his arms.

Supply. It is a supply unit only for the 14th.

What? Special forces have a supply unit? Little well, anyway, you are a precious ally who can mark the enemy, and they used you as a supply unit? It makes no sense.

Right? It doesnt. But it is always in the military for strange things to happen. Later I heard that a high-ranking person falsified documents of people entering the 14th unit and put them in others he knew to fill the vacant spots, and I got forced to join in for supply. At that time, I was quite needy.

Gyosu sighed, thinking about the past.

The most useless member of the unit. At first, the members would also swear until their mouths turned dry, but it ended up as just another work.

Thud!

Gyosu and Vex lay flat on the floor. The smell of unrefined gunpowder from homemade weapons was scattered throughout the area. They peeked behind the cloud of dust from the explosion.

Tak!

Immediately, both of them jumped at the same time without even having to give the signal. Those hiding nearby saw this as an opportunity and moved in the same direction as the two of them who were fleeing.

We dont need to stop them. It is hard for the 2 of us to deal with the variants within.

Gyosu raised the muzzle back up.

Kua-

Ack-

Variant!

Leg! Aim for the leg!

A shout could be heard not far from where the Scavengers were previously there.

Vex! Go in and fix it in an unexposed place before the jackpot in the guard room you talked about gets touched!

Fine!

Then from now on, we can talk with hand signals instead of voices! Be careful! If you cannot take them down, make sure to just not get caught by them!

With those words, the two of them ran into the pitch-black darkness without a word.
