Chapter 34

Episode 34. Endless Express (3)

Taeyang and Ran didn’t leave where they initially fell.

It was luckier than I imagined to have fallen into an empty food storage compartment.

Food could be obtained from other food storage stalls nearby, and other natives did not come and go often.

Besides, you can find out the information on the train through the stories of workers who sometimes come to play.

“Anyway, our goal is to keep waiting for now.”

“until when? They said the food supply group would be back soon. If you come here, we... ... .”

“At that time, you just need to secure enough food and hide in another place.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to blend in as a worker?”

“You heard it too. These days, ‘rat catching’ is in full swing. Who is that ‘rat’?”

Ran swallowed.

The ‘rat’ at this point is, of course, the player.

“You just have to hide for a while in the right timing when the supply team comes in. Then, the ‘Monster Defense Battle’ will open soon. We go then.”

The train entered the ‘dragon’s nest’ shortly after the food supply group returned.

In the first place, the reason food and material supplies were made at this time was to prepare for entering the ‘dragon’s nest’.

“When requesting a subjugation war, that is when the workers are most messed up.”

“Since we don’t recognize each other anyway, let’s mix then?”

“huh. By then, the ‘Rat Catcher’ craze would have subsided a bit. There won’t be much vigilance.”

At this point, when the corpses of other ‘rats’ were strewn about, the workers’ vigilance was at its strongest.

Normally, even seeing a face I don’t know is enough to get over it, but now I’m at the level of looking at it with suspicion.

It was because if he did something wrong, he could be slaughtered for covering the ‘rat’.

“What if the Guardian doesn’t like it?”

“Why are you not confident?”

“Of course not. But preparing for failure is important.”

Of course.

It’s a matter of life and death.

“If I can’t do it, I’ll have to go back with the workers I’ve known during the battle.”

“hmm.”

“The thing to remember is sector A. It’s a factory in front of the room and a playground. You can say it differently depending on the origin of the workers. If there is someone from Sector A, it’s like they came from the factory in front of the guest room. By the way, the area we are in is a playground.”

“Is that enough?”

“Unexpectedly, workers rarely go outside the factories in their own district. All the people I worked with died and came here. We should talk like this.”

Ran frowned at the beautiful Ami.

“Somehow, the plan is poor.”

The sun shrugged.

Taeyang himself, with the help of Hyunhye and the viewers, could come up with a higher-level and reactive plan, but that was all he could explain to Ran.

“At that time, you must be noticed by the Guardian, right?”

“It would be good to think that way. Plan B is always worse than A.”

Taeyang or Ran were not players lacking in combat skills, so the chances of success were quite high.

In addition, it was clear that Ran would stand out quite a lot with the addition of her appearance.

Perhaps, even if she felt a little lacking in ability, some male guardians might recommend recruiting her.

-Actually, female characters have a bit of an advantage in that respect. First of all, the sex ratio is more male.

It was only natural that more physically superior male players would survive.

Still, the physical gap between men and women from Changchun or Eden was much smaller than the gap we think of on Earth.

This is because there is a means of overcoming it called ‘mana’.

“Have you ever been like that?”

-of course.

“Ha, it looks like the avatar was chosen much prettier than it actually is.”

– Ha ha ha ha ha

– The character at that time was really the best ever.

-why. The moon is pretty too. ᅳᅳ

-To Taeyang Yoon, it’s almost like she’s just a younger sister in real life. I see you talking lol.

– So. I thought they were a couple at first. It turned out that they were siblings hahahaha

[‘Ko Yeonsu’ sponsored 10,000 won!]

[I, Ko Yeonsu, are waiting for streamer Moon’s cam broadcast.]

-Hahaha.

-Today, we even shoot sponsorships. lol.

-mind! let’s do it! What’s difficult!

-That’s right! I’m not asking you to marry me, I want you to turn on the cam!

-Aren’t you tired of camouflage? It’s not turned on. Stop it.

-(picture).

[‘Cammusae’ donated 10,000 won!]

[That cammusae is waiting for streamer Dal’s cam broadcast.]

Taeyang and Ran stayed silent until the train entered the ‘dragon nest’.

Of course, just because I was dead didn’t mean I didn’t do anything.

First, they stole food in case they were kicked out of the food locker.

It’s laborious, but I went around several storage compartments at the same time and stocked up on just enough to not be noticed.

I was also looking for something that could be an achievement.

For example, dealing with other ‘rats’ or lurking monsters.

Oh, while all the workers were out of work, I also got materials and fixed the smashed wall in room 8.

In addition to fixing it, it was a bonus to steal the workers’ blankets and a few cold items.

“It really does everything.”

“It gives you an achievement. There is nothing I can’t do.”

“Does stealing give you achievements?”

“This isn’t it. why. don’t you need this? I’ll cover two.”

“It’s not like that.”

Ran straightened up and took the blanket away.

“What did that ghost do to die, so you know it so well?”

“that... ... .”

Taeyang tried to explain.

Not for any other reason, but because it was annoying.

It’s a matter of how Ran will react if he learns that Dantalian is a game.

Besides, the volume was too loud for her to explain everything comprehensibly.

At that moment, a roar began to emanate from the back of the train.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung.

floor wall ceiling.

It was because it was not the Guardian they usually looked up to.

Small children who had come for snacks were whispering.

“What’s going on?”

“Looks like you’re drooping.”

“You must have had a hard time.”

“Where is the good-voiced captain you’ve always seen? You said you would give me candy if we met again.”

“really? me too!”

A few children, unable to grasp the mood, chattered.

Guardians looked at the children, and parent workers took them away.

A few workers mumbled in low voices.

“Isn’t it well distributed? fuck. Why can’t I see the box?”

“Didn’t you take it first?”

“I’ve been watching you since the beginning. No one took it first.”

“... ... is that a lie? It’s called Dragon’s Nest. If we don’t get supplies now, we’re all doomed.”

“Can you please just think about that bullshit and spit it out?”

“You get really scolded by the Guardians after that. There is a guy who was crippled for brushing his jaw the other day.”

“By the way, look at that disgrace. It’s like a loser.”

At the words of one worker, the rest of the workers shut their mouths.

loser disease.

It was an unfamiliar and awkward word, but the appearance of the Guardians now was just like that.

What a profit! Koo Goo Goo!

The dividing line between the working class and the rich has opened.

Soon, a man in a black uniform appeared from the other side.

Behind him, another group of Guardians came out at an angle.

The Guardians who had been sitting haphazardly found the man and quickly formed a rank.

A man in a black uniform with a cold expression stood in front of them and muttered in a low voice.

“report.”

One of the guardians standing at the front answered.

“Report from the 3rd company! 50 in total... ... .”

“for a moment.”

The man in the black uniform bent his head.

“Where is the 3rd company commander going and you report?”

The reporter’s complexion turned pale.

“These bastards are missing. Let’s see you... ... . Where is the 3rd company commander now?”

Reporter hesitated.

Blood vessels appeared on the white forehead of the man in the black uniform.

“Don’t make me say three times. Where is the 3rd company commander now?”

“... ... I was killed.”

“... ... Lieutenant Commander?”

“I was killed.”

The man in the black uniform closed his mouth for a moment.

Silence hung over the ‘playground’, which had the most floating population among the workers’ residential districts.

he opened his mouth again.

“report.”

“report. Total 50 Accident 21 Current 29. Details of Accident Death 21. More than that.”

“Look closely.”

“Look closely!”

The longer the words that came out of the reporter’s mouth, the more the eyes of the man in the black uniform sank.

At the same time, the movements of the workers became frantic.

“The dragon’s nest. damn it I thought it was almost extinct because there was no subjugation record for nearly 30 years.”

One or two have been observed, but no large migrations or habitats have been observed.

The white dragon, Untara, too, when it invaded my territory, only let out a breath in a formal way, but there was no further action.

But that wasn’t it.

I just dodged the battle well.

no. Didn’t even get away with it.

It was clear that those bastards hadn’t intentionally attacked them all this time.

to be called.

“It must be my time.”

damn it

If you just spin this wheel, you’ll be promoted.

The guardian in the black uniform gritted his teeth.

And he told the guardians lined up behind him.

“Gathering of all companies subordinate to the 1st Battalion.”

“Gathering all companies subordinate to the 1st Battalion!”

The adjutant returned to the affluent area while repeating his prayers.

another adjutant asked.

“How many people do you plan to recruit this time?”

“How many people did it last time?”

“Five hundred.”

The troubled man in the black uniform shook his head.

“Ask again. How many people can it accommodate?”

“... ... Even if I can’t do it, I think 2,000 people can do it.”

“Recruiting 2,000 people. Twenty-one Guardians. relay.”

The adjutant hesitated.

“Captain. If all the numbers with holes are borrowed from the workers, the resistance from the citizens will be strong.”

“These worms have too much oil in their stomachs to be able to cut them. Don’t you know?”

At the nervous reply, the adjutant immediately lowered his head.

Actually, he did agree.

Wealthy citizens are too peaceful to fulfill their guardian duties.

Soon the order of the man in the black uniform was delivered to the workers.

“Twenty-one! Twenty-one!”

“2,000 people applied!”

“X feet! now! now! I can’t get in there now or not!”

“Hit them all!”

“mom! Where did you put my sword? You know what I gave you at that time!”

The playground soon became a crucible of frenzy.
