“… … Yes?”
“Well, what does that mean?”
“Where did the food go? Yes?”
“What should we do now!”
I knew it.
You can’t understand it right away.
In fact, there are still people who don’t even know the existence of the ability. If you say things like you can make food or not, it’s bound to sound like nonsense.
“… … You can make food?”
“That’s a lunch box… ?”
“If that’s real… … .”
If there are people who don’t understand, there are also people who are quick to judge the situation.
Since most of the search party members knew of the existence of abilities because of the paint, they seemed to immediately understand that what I was doing was happening because of ‘abilities.’
Let’s make it a little easier to understand.
[1+1 ability has been activated.]
“What… !”
“Um, that! Something to eat! I need something to eat!”
“It’s pouring out of my hand!”
As I repeat copying indefinitely, endless lunch boxes pour out of my hands.
In an instant, a large lunch box piles up next to me. This is enough to feed everyone here.
“Um, what is that? Is it true?”
“It’s salty. If you don’t believe me, eat it and see.”
I handed a lunch box to the alert search team member.
The search team member carefully opens the lid, scoops up some rice, and eats it.
“Really… Right?”
“What? Where are you? Me too!”
“Give me a bite too.”
The search party members clung to each other and tasted the lunch box.
Although it was cold, it was still a real lunch box.
It’s completely different from eating cookie crumbs or canned food.
“It’s a real lunch box.”
“Is this it? Hyeja lunch box.”
“It’s only available at convenience stores, so how can you get something like this… … .”
“As you can see, that is my ability.”
[1+1 ability has been unlocked.]
When the ability is released, the mountain of lunch boxes disappears all at once.
“Ahh! Disappeared!”
“Where have you gone?”
While there are people who flounder, there are also people who look closely at me and try to figure out my abilities.
I’m not saying this to make you look at idiots who can’t understand the situation anyway. I’m telling you to look at people like that.
If you have a quick mind, you will be able to calculate it right away.
If I really had the ability to make food. Even if there are no restrictions.
What a useful ability this is.
“You can make and eliminate as many foods as you need. It’s not just lunch boxes.”
Other foods are also made continuously.
“It’s ice cream!”
“Salad, ramen… This is bread.”
“Can you make that much?”
“I survived! Now we live!”
Some people are already operating their hope circuits in full operation.
“Hehe… … .”
Yun Cheol-woo laughed as he looked at the food pouring out.
I made a triangular gimbap and handed it to Cheol-Woo Yoon.
“Would you like one? The taste is okay.”
“… … … .”
Yun Cheol-woo’s expression crumples as he receives my kimbap.
Mash the kimbap by squeezing it tightly with your fist.
“… Are you kidding me?”
“Not if you don’t want to eat it.”
I didn’t think I would eat it.
This person’s goal is not simply to give the search party an upper hand. They want to become that leader and gain power.
How can a search party stage a coup and take power like this? Because they have the production capacity.
Of course, that production capacity is nothing more than looting or scavenging abandoned items from outside.
In Apocalypse, that is also a way to make materials.
But what if you don’t need it?
What if you didn’t have to risk your life and jump into that monster?
No matter how much of a search party you are, your thoughts are bound to change.
Because no one here wants to risk their life fighting monsters.
“Mr. Park Daebu.”
As Yoon Cheol-woo called me, he turned towards the people who were not me.
“If you have this ability, why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
“… ?”
“Isn’t that so? Just now, someone died while going to the supermarket to get food! This happened after Daebu Park came! Even if you had told me in advance that I had this ability, such an unfortunate incident would not have happened. Isn’t that right?”
People murmur at Yoon Cheol-woo’s words.
Right.
It seems that denying my abilities will be of no use, so are you trying to incite people?
Even though they were not on the same side to begin with, they murmured and agreed with Yoon Cheol-woo’s words.
“That’s true… .”
“… Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Furthermore, he only shows this ability after the food runs out here. Isn’t this happening for another reason!?”
“That’s right. There is a kkung kkung.”
“Just looking at cancer, he is not a good person. From the beginning.”
How are you?
Some people look at me coldly, as if Yoon Cheol-woo’s words worked. There were also people shouting.
“Answer me!”
“I’m not doing this because I have another ulterior motive!”
What are you doing? What is your intention? Of course, you can’t say it doesn’t exist.
I responded coolly to people’s cries.
“Yes. Yes!”
“… ?”
“Are you doing this with another intention? That’s right.”
“Well, what… ?”
Everyone seems speechless and can’t keep their mouths shut.
I also turned towards the people.
“There is no food left here anymore. The only thing I have is the food I make. We did this on purpose to control your food supply.”
People are astonished by my words.
“What… … !”
“Isn’t that too much?”
“There was one more idiot… .”
A person who clicks his tongue. A person who pays attention. A person who works hard with his head.
You see all kinds of people.
“But what are you going to do? Even if there is a plan. What are you going to do? I have all the food. Or would you rather go outside? Someone said this earlier? There is a monster in front of the parking lot.”
“… … … .”
Everyone closes their mouths when they hear the word monster.
It goes without saying that people who are not part of the search party are the ones who can fight and win against monsters.
I just had a little courage and avoided the monsters.
“Well, then… Are you saying you want to hog all the food, Mr. Park?”
“Oh, or are there any conditions for sharing?”
A few people who understand quickly raise their hands and ask questions.
I glanced at the people and answered.
“Food… We will share it with you.”
“Ah… !”
“I survived!”
“However, the conditions are the same as here.”
“?”
“This way… … .”
People turned their eyes to where I pointed.
The person at the tip of the finger was Yoon Cheol-woo.
“Mr. Cheol-Woo Yoon. You said it earlier, right? You have to do as the person who brought the food tells you.”
“… … .”
Yun Cheol-woo did not answer. You probably know it too. About what he said.
And you probably know what I’m talking about.
“I became the only food supplier here. According to Yoon Cheol-woo, shouldn’t you all do as I tell you? As they say, if the favor continues, they will think it is their right.”
“Well, right… … .”
“… … … .”
People reluctantly nodded or bowed their heads.
These are people who have already succumbed to Yoon Cheol-woo once.
It’s just that the target changed from Yoon Cheol-woo to me. Nothing really changes.
“So, let me make a suggestion to you. The conditions are the same as for Mr. Cheol-Woo Yoon. You can receive your food just by doing as I tell you. There is one difference… … . I guess the food provided by the search party is limited.”
Before I could finish speaking, people started looking at each other or quickly rolling their eyes.
It may be possible to receive food from the search party. But there is no guarantee that it is infinite.
On the other hand, no matter how I look at it, there seems to be no limit to me. Even the type.
There is an easy answer as to which side you should stick to.
As long as the search party is looking at each other, I’m done.
In the end, the search team member next to me asked quietly.
“Dae, Mr. Godfather. Could you please give it to us too? ?”
“Of course. If you do what I want, I will give you food.”
“Then… … !”
The search party’s expression brightened. Give OK signs to the other members next to you.
There was only one person who did not accept it.
Cheolwoo Yoon.
His face was completely crumpled and he started swearing.
“It’s not even funny… ! The only food supplier? Fuck that bullshit! Fuck. There’s plenty of food out there, so why listen to people like you? Huh?”
“Of course it is. As you said, there is still plenty of food out there.”
As the saying goes.
I am not an absolute supplier.
If you go outside, there is food that hasn’t rotted yet, and you can get it as much as you want. If that’s the case, you don’t have to listen to anything I say.
“If you don’t want to listen, you don’t have to listen.”
But people are weak.
Not many people are willing to risk their lives and take risks to maintain their independence.
Most people do what others tell them to do and do what others want, with just a penny or a salary.
So we’re all salaried workers, right?
People are capable of rolling around like dogs, eating away at their bodies and lives, and enduring humiliation, as long as they are given a lot of money.
And in an apocalypse where one must risk one’s life, everyone is willing to do anything to survive.
“Fuck! You can’t listen to this bastard! You know what you’re going to do to us! You… If this bastard tells you to crawl like a dog, will you do it? If I tell you to suck your ass, will you do it?! Huh!?”
slap. Yoon Cheol-woo turns to the people.
But people’s expressions were cold.
You tried to do that too.
Everyone was saying that with their eyes.
“… … … What the fuck… … !”
Slam!
Cheolwoo Yoon’s gun is aimed at my face.
“Fuck you bastard. Hehe… … . You didn’t fucking think about this, did you? What an idiot. hey! I don’t need it all. Just threaten this guy!”
ah. Are you going to come out like that?
Yoon Cheol-woo came so close that the muzzle of the gun was clearly visible.
M16. 5.56 bullet. If you get hit in the head with that, there is no hope of survival.
“What are you going to do in front of a gun? ok? hey. Little pig. Let’s make food. If you don’t make it, I’ll kill you!”
“Try to kill him.”
Just like Yoon Cheol-woo did, he puts his body in front of the gun.
“Other search team members will know. When a person with abilities dies, anything created with that ability disappears.”
“Ah… Look, I saw it. The paint was gone earlier!”
“What is it? then. Even if you make food under threat… Are you saying that if that person dies, it’s a total disaster?”
“Fuck… Then what should I do?”
The search team members seemed agitated.
That’s right.
If I die, I’ll have to go looking for food again.
At that time, it is the search party themselves who have to risk their lives.
Yoon Cheol-woo risked his life on his behalf. They don’t even bring food.
It goes without saying, but these people also don’t want to die.
Not everyone is a soldier. Not even the main character.
They were just salaried office workers who worked at a company nearby.
Crash.
“Well, what is it… .”
“Please put down the gun. Mr. Cheolwoo.”
Another search party member points a gun at Yoon Cheol-woo’s head.
Several search party members also take aim at Yoon Cheol-woo from afar.
“You fucking bastards… … !”
“When you have the chance to live as long as you can without giving up your life, why do you turn it down?”
It was such a natural thing to say.
But that didn’t seem to be the case for Yoon Cheol-woo.
“Fuck… . Fuck you guys… ! You guys betrayed me like this… ?”
“What should I do? Cheol-woo always said that, right? In a situation like this, you have to make up your mind and do whatever it takes.”
The other crew members also nod their heads.
one person. two people.
He points his gun more and more at Yoon Cheol-woo.
Before I knew it, nearly 10 guns were pointed at Yoon Cheol-woo from all directions.
“Fuck. Fuck… … ! I thought my world had finally arrived… !”
Right.
That guy, like me, just wanted to have power in a ruined world.
Perhaps, if it weren’t for me, the coup would have succeeded and he would have become the leader here as he really wanted.
But what can I do?
I was there.
I declared to the search party.
“I will give you your first task. I will give twice as much food to the person who kills the rebel.”
“Fuck. Fuck… … ! only you. Without you──!!”
Yoon Cheol-woo pulled the trigger.
[ice! The ability has been activated.]
[Target: M16A1]
