    “What is it? This.”

    Yun Cheol-woo pulled the trigger several times, but it did not move.

    “Fuck. Fuck. Why can’t I do this… ! Fuck… !”

    When Yoon Cheol-woo was frantically trying to pull the trigger.

    “Misfire!”

    “Just shoot!”

    Valid──!

    An unknown search party member shoots a gun.

    This time it went out properly.

    That’s right, the only thing I asked Uncle Wi Mu-jin for was Yun Cheol-woo’s gun.

    Part of me wanted to freeze Yoon Cheol-woo’s body, but I couldn’t do that.

    It seems that the expression ‘target’ in the status window does not apply to people.

    I had no choice but to freeze Yoon Cheol-woo’s gun. That alone is enough.

    “Wow! Wow─!”

    dump.

    Yoon Cheol-woo collapses on the floor, vomiting blood.

    I think he got hit a couple of times in the body. Blood continues to vomit from the mouth.

    It’s probably difficult to survive.

    “ji, I really shot it… .”

    “Murder. It’s murder.”

    “No… ! That bastard tried to shoot first! It’s self-defense!”

    “Don’t you know that if Daebu Park dies here, we will have nothing to eat?”

    The search party shouts at each other and panics.

    Well, this might be the first time I actually shoot a gun and kill someone.

    But those people also need to realize.

    This is an apocalypse where there are no laws or anything.

    And even from a legal standpoint, it is self-defense.

    “Mr. Cheol-Woo Yoon.”

    “K, keuh… ! Fuck… ! Fuck… !”

    I approached Yoon Cheol-woo and placed my hands on his body.

    The blood gushing out onto my hands.

    [1+1 ability has been activated.]

    [Replicated strange persuasive abilities.]

    [Survivor Ability: Strange Persuasion]

    [Grade: B]

    [Effect: People naturally follow what you say with vague persuasive power.]

    Was it because of this ability?

    With these abilities, you tried to become a leader?

    It did seem useful. It’s like a weak level of brainwashing, but the more you say it with the truth, the more persuasive it becomes.

    But it’s difficult to become a leader with just this.

    I will put it to good use.

    “… Dead.”

    “… … … .”

    “I really, really killed a person… !”

    Some of the search party members were holding guns and shaking, or some even sat down.

    But you’ll have to get used to it. There’s a lot of shooting to do in the future.

    Of course, this applies to people who aren’t monsters.

    “Let me tell you again. I won’t force you. You can choose. Either follow my advice and receive food, go out and find a way to live on your own, or scare me and rip me off. It all depends on your choice. Those who will stay with me should gather in front of me, and those who will not, please go next to pillar B3 over there.”

    People are starting to pay attention to what I say.

    There were some people who hesitated, wondering whether to go or not. There were also people who thought hard.

    While we were looking at each other, the first person to stand in front of me was the search party member who shot Yoon Cheol-woo. He has his head down, probably out of guilt.

    “… … … .”

    “Well thought out.”

    “Really… Is it true that you are giving me twice as much?”

    “Yes. I will keep my promise.”

    “Later… … If you find my mother, please give her food too. Then I will do as you ask.”

    iced coffee. It was something like that.

    I grinned.

    “Of course. I hope you find your mother.”

    “… … Thank you.”

    The man turned towards the people right in front of me.

    The look in his eyes says he could shoot anyone if the situation arises. That’s right, I already shot and killed one person.

    Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people like us to commit murder.

    Once is difficult, twice is not difficult. This is especially true if you have a clear justification.

    “Well, me too… I will follow.”

    “Me too!”

    “Ah… … Fuck. I don’t know.”

    As soon as one person steps forward, others also flock to me.

    Whether it’s a search party or not, countless people are flocking to line up in front of me.

    I wasn’t sure if he was really persuaded by my words, or if it was just the power of the ability he copied from Cheol-Woo Yoon. You could just follow what others are doing.

    “Si, I’ll do as you tell me!”

    “You’re really giving us something to eat, right?”

    “You don’t have to go outside, right?”

    But one thing is certain.

    These people won’t bite me if I feed them properly from now on.

    “Mr. Godfather… .”

    It’s a familiar voice. When I turned my head, I saw Gong Ga-eun.

    He came in front of me with his head slightly lowered.

    “Well, what happens to us…? .”

    His expression is full of worry.

    that’s interesting.

    If it were me, if someone I knew was at the peak of power, I would have tried to use my acquaintance’s chance to get some beans.

    I didn’t even think about that and was just hesitating like everyone else.

    “Will you accept it, Ga-eun?”

    “Uh, which one?”

    “My suggestion. Doing what you’re told.”

    “Ah… … .”

    Do as you are told.

    That was my only condition.

    “Well, I… … .”

    Gong Ga-eun continued to squirm and speak slurred.

    Well, no matter how much I dislike it, I probably dislike it. You know what I’m going to do.

    Even if we knew each other, Ga-eun and I weren’t really close.

    You probably don’t know that I’m only looking at your breasts… … .

    “I thought so from the beginning.”

    “?”

    What do you mean?

    “Dae, godfather… ! Well, then our children’s bread… Are you still giving me bread?”

    Before I could ask, Do Ayun jumped in front of me.

    A line of children comes behind them, along with their teacher.

    “I’m hungry~.”

    “Please give me bread~.”

    “For me, it’s snacks.”

    Did they leave the bread there?

    My forehead is itching.

    “I told you. If you do as you are told… … .”

    Before I could finish speaking, Doayun cheered.

    “Kya~! Guys. They said they would give me bread!”

    “Really?”

    “Wow~!”

    The children are so excited that they put their arms around each other and dance.

    “… … Aren’t you curious about what I’m going to order?”

    “Yes? ah… . Yeah, yeah… . Isn’t it obvious?”

    Avoid eye contact while scratching your cheek.

    He looks a little happy, doesn’t he?

    I guess it’s because I don’t have to worry about the kids eating… ?

    “Well, man. Is there any problem with your lifespan?”

    “Life span?”

    “Yes. that… They say that if you make bread, your life will be shortened.”

    “Ah. That’s it.”

    Other people also look at me after hearing Doayun’s words.

    “Life span?”

    “Was there such a condition?”

    People’s expressions become complicated.

    If you were wondering if he seemed grateful for my sacrificial spirit, that wasn’t the case.

    There is no one other than Do Ayun who so naively expresses gratitude for sacrifice.

    Most people are probably busy racking their brains.

    What if my lifespan is shortened and I die?

    This means that this food I sow is not infinite.

    Then, this barely stable food supply system collapses, and people have to go out to find food again. I don’t know if there will be any food left at that time.

    And if my abilities are finite, these people have less reason to follow me unconditionally.

    Simply put, power is weakened.

    So wouldn’t it be better to say that there is no lifespan limit?

    “Yes. there is. Every time you create something, your lifespan decreases.”

    “… Is it true?”

    “If your lifespan is shortened… Are you saying that Mr. Godfather may pass away?”

    “Yes.”

    People began to become agitated again at my words.

    also. This is an anxiety factor.

    “But we found a way to reduce this limitation as much as possible.”

    “Yes?”

    “What is that?”

    “Coin.”

    I looked at some people.

    These were people who already knew what ‘ability’ was and how it worked.

    “As you may know, you can enhance your abilities through coins. The same goes for my abilities. Currently, every time you create something, your lifespan is reduced by a few days, but if you enhance your abilities with coins, you can reduce this to minutes or seconds. If we continue to strengthen it, we can get down to a level where there are virtually no restrictions.”

    “Ah… !”

    “Well, I see.”

    “If so, how do I get the coin?”

    It’s very simple.

    “There are ways to catch monsters and ways to complete missions. Any way, if you happen to have any coins, please bring them to me. We will give you the food and things you need. This is not an order. This is an exchange.”

    Everyone nods at the word exchange.

    Naturally, we also secured a source of coin supply.

    Now all that’s left is.

    “I… Mr. Godfather. No, godfather. What should those female soldiers do?”

    The search party pointed to the female soldiers tied up next to Staria.

    Everyone was tied up with all their weapons taken away. Everyone lowers their head or avoids my gaze.

    Only Choi Si-yu is glaring at me.

    “Remove the bite in your mouth.”

    “Ah, yes!”

    “It was noisy so I tied it up.”

    Even so, not tying a gag but stuffing a sock in my mouth was too much.

    As soon as he took the thing out of his mouth, Siyu Choi started screaming.

    “Sergeant Park Dae-bu… ! What is this doing? If you don’t release it right now, I will punish you according to military law!”

    Oh my.

    I think I know why you stuffed your socks.

    The search team member next to me shakes his head.

    Nevertheless, Choi Si-yu pays no heed and shouts so loudly that other people take notice.

    “I heard the whole story! You have the ability to make food? If you have something like that, you should give it to people, but you’re thinking of pampering people with it… !”

    “Ah. Was it this kind of character?”

    “If you have power, you should sacrifice it for the majority. Are you trying to rise above people with that? Coward… !”

    Hehe!

    He even spits on my shoes.

    You are truly an apostle of justice.

    The search team member who was holding Choi Si-yu next to him asks.

    “What should I do?”

    “Um.”

    Get out of the way. I have something to order.

    “Now, everyone, pay attention!”

    Everyone looks this way when I say that.

    I patted Siyu Choi on the shoulder.

    “I was going to share food with you all… … . This soldier here says he won’t listen to me. Therefore, it will be difficult to provide food to you as well. I’m sorry. Thank you for your hard work. If you are hungry, you can go out and get your own food.”

    “… … Yes?”

    “Well, what does that mean?”

    “Isn’t it different from before? Godfather!”

    I shook my head despite people’s cries.

    “Ah~. I really want to give it to you~. It was a great opportunity for you all~. Because no one really listened to me. I am also very sad.”

    “Daebu Park… … !”

    “If he kneels naked and prays even now, I think he could hand out food to people~.”

    Let’s see how much this military girl can sacrifice for her people.
