Chapter 491

Episode 491:

A mushroom blooming in 5 sections like flower petals in a highly saturated red that catches the eye. The two survivors continued their discussion in front of the unrealistic mushroom.

“You said you were a doctor. “Can’t you identify mushrooms?”

“I’m a doctor, not a pharmacist... Even pharmacists probably don’t know much about raw mushrooms like this. “I have researched ingredients extracted from mushrooms...”

“Ah, in cases like this, you can find out whether it is dangerous or not if you feed it to someone else first!”

“What kind of scary words are you saying...?”

“sorry. I guess I passed it on to the manager. “I can’t believe I said such scary things.”

Kwon Yeon-hee resented Lee Jae-heon for a moment.

‘I’m not doing this because the manager usually puts all the ingredients in his mouth. What if I’m misunderstood as a really scary person?...’

What can I do? It was originally said that life is lived alone. If Dr. Seo In-young left, midge Kwon Yeon-hee had no choice but to let him go.

After organizing her thoughts, Yeonhee Kwon spoke cheerfully.

“Then let’s feed it to the fish!”

“To the fish...?”

“Let’s put it in the lake trap. “With bait.”

“Isn’t that poisoning the lake?”

“They started the dispute first.”

“So, even if all the fish in the lake die, it’s self-defense...?”

“It’s not something we have to live and see first.”

Doctor Seo In-young was embarrassed and tried to comfort Kwon Yeon-hee.

“I think you’ve built up a lot of anger, so please calm down first...”

“I’m not angry? “I didn’t get anything?”

“Okay, so let’s first conduct an experiment on one caught fish. Wouldn’t that be better? “I know what will happen if I pollute the lake.”

“Hmm... That makes sense.”

As a result of that confirmation, surprisingly, the mushrooms were edible.

“....”

“....”

It was a surprising result for both Seo In-young, who was anxious, and Kwon Yeon-hee, who thought she might be able to eat it. I’m not sure if it would be harmful to humans as the target was a fish.

Seo In-young looked back at Kwon Yeon-hee with strange eyes.

“...You said it might be okay to eat and then you got that surprised look...?”

“...I said it might be okay. Maybe so. “I’m also a little embarrassed because I didn’t know it was actually edible...”

“Ah yes...”

Seo In-young asked after adjusting her expression.

“But why bother looking for other food when there are fish?”

Kwon Yeon-hee and Seo In-young continued to wander around looking for food.

The small bag Kwon Yeon-hee brought out for fashion purposes was filled with various fruits and herbs. The same was true for Seo In-young’s bag.

“Looking at the number of fish caught in the trap, I don’t think we will have to worry about food for the time being.”

“Have you ever been stabbed in the back by the other side of the world...?”

“...? yes?”

“Of course, I don’t have that many, because I don’t really believe in the other side of the world. What if the reason the lake provides so many fish is so that it can one day catch us and eat us? What if you rely only on the lake to secure food and later you can’t catch anything? What if a monster suddenly jumps out of the lake and your nest is destroyed or you have to run away?”

“....”

“I don’t know, Mr. Inyoung, but first of all, I... I’m in trouble... If I don’t want to fall behind, I have to be fully prepared, so I can barely survive... What’s the point of having to make a way for myself in advance? Even if something happens, I can prepare...”

It’s not that Kwon Yeon-hee had always shown this kind of caution, but now there was no one who could help her. Even Seo In-young is a stranger whom I just met.

‘No matter how much you prepare, it’s not too much.’

To survive, you had to stock up on food in advance and dig several burrows to hide in. First of all, that’s what Yeonhee Kwon thought.

Seo In-young looked at Kwon Yeon-hee as if to say, ‘I know what you mean, but when you say it like that, our situation is very sad.’ Then he slowly nodded his head with a bitter expression.

“...I think that’s correct.

“Thank you for agreeing.”

“No, I learned a lot. “There are certainly many strange aspects of this world.”

“He’s really good at stabbing people in the back as if they’re still alive...”

“I’m not sure about that yet. However, it is true that there is no harm in being thoroughly prepared.”

“Okay then.”

Although the two were in such good spirits, that didn’t mean all problems were solved.

“Hukkiyak...!”

A scream that came from looking at a shadow incorrectly.

* * *

“...Hey.”

Song In-myeong said to Park Da-young, who was hanging out on the chair like laundry.

“What can I do? I don’t see a cure.”

“Fuck, look for more....”

“Why are you always fucking with me?”

“Then you’re going to be mean to kids younger than me?”

“I could do something.”

“Shorup and Keepgoing.”

“I’m so fucking sad...”

It was a conversation so heavy that it felt like it would fly away, but unfortunately, the atmosphere was not light. This was because there was no way to treat Dayoung Park’s leg.

Seo-ah couldn’t bear to cling to Park Da-young and sat down under the chair, sobbing.

“Huh... Ugh....”

“Oh my Seo, why are you crying? “I’m okay?”

“Eunni....”

“Yes, Eunni, I’m okay. Oguogu.”

But they all knew that this was not a good situation at all.

The place where this haphazardly put together student team is taking a break is none other than a cafe in the middle of the street.

There were so many mannequins that I thought I would just pass by, but I was able to find a small seat that could accommodate two people.

“But isn’t it fortunate that there is a place to rest?”

“....”

“...Um, shall we shut up?”

Park Da-young smiled awkwardly in the cold atmosphere.

The problem was that this was not just a cafe, but a cafe in a secret world, and even here they could not find a way to treat Dayoung Park’s leg.

“...How about we order something first? “Usually, when you sit in a cafe like this, it’s polite to order at least one order per person.”

“The other side of the world is so fucking annoying.”

“Oh, please speak nicely.”

Dayoung Park suggested that we should follow the cafe’s rules before suffering losses due to the unknown rules.

“No, I don’t think I can find the medicine just by looking at it anyway. Then, we all need to do something... first before we all get stabbed in the back by the underworld. “Isn’t that right?”

“That’s true.”

Song In-myeong, who accepted obediently, smiled while looking at Park Da-hoon.

“I think that bastard will work hard to find the medicine on his own.”

Park Da-hoon’s eyes, which met Song In-myeong’s gaze at those words, were purple and shiny with moisture. The strange redness seemed to indicate that Park Da-hoon was currently out of his mind.

Park Da-young was moved to tears by the words disparaging her younger sister.

“Oh, that Jodong club really.”

“Ebebebebebebebebebebe, I can’t hear you.”

Seeing his very childish and obnoxious appearance, I thought ‘I’m just going to rip his mouth all the way to his ears’, but for some reason, I kept my mouth shut, thinking that Song In-myeong might like it, as he said it looked like he was embodying a red mask.

‘I’m glad I’m still being obnoxious. I don’t know what Song In-myeong will do if he gets upset.’

The parts that make normal people angry and the parts that make crazy people angry are clearly different. It would have been a great loss if Song In-myeong had been upset by what he thought was no big deal and turned against them.

She sighed and glanced at her legs.

“Um...”

“...Sister?”

“Yes, Seo-ya.”

“it hurts?”

“are you okay.”

...It definitely wasn’t a good look.

The right leg that had been bitten by the monster was so tattered that it was difficult to see. The flesh that had been crushed by the thick teeth fell off and rattled, and the wound was so deep that the bones were visible.

Another big problem was that the blood continued to flow without stopping. I minimized the blood that fell while being carried by Song In-myeong, but I didn’t know when the monster that saw it would come after me.

‘It’s a big deal. Not only is there nothing I can do, but the overall morale of the team is falling. This is more than a burden.’

Is that why?

‘...If I die...’

I thought that I, who was the bane of the team, should die.

“....”

It seemed like the already dead ‘Park Da-young’ was laughing at me, saying that wasn’t too Lee Jae-heon-like.
