I slowly walked back to the barricade.

There was no one on the road to the barricade.

Until just a few days ago, there were people walking around.

It’s strange to say that there are no people because it’s on the riverside, but I’ve just passed the riverside and entered the center.

I sighed, wondering if something was really going to happen.

Normally, whenever there is a war or something like that, people react quickly.

Thanks to what had recently happened, it was no exaggeration to say that the atmosphere itself was even more tense.

Well, it didn’t matter what happened.

I just don’t want it to happen before I can get out.

I gathered my thoughts there and approached the barricade.

The man standing guard there looked at me and said.

“What is your business?”

“I want to meet Oh Han-young.”

“Did you make an appointment in advance?”

the guard said.

I thought for a moment, then shook my head.

But since there was a part of me that believed in it, I said this.

“But if I tell Oh Han-young that I came to visit, wouldn’t he cancel the appointment?”

The woman next to the security guard exchanged a look with the security guard.

The woman took her weapon and ran to another place.

I waited for a while. Not long after, the woman appeared with Oh Han-young.

No, it seemed like he had brought along an uninvited guest.

I frowned and looked at Ganggil.

Kang Gil also gave me a fierce look, as if he didn’t like me.

“Nice to meet you, teacher. What is your business?”

It was Oh Han-young who broke the mood.

Oh Han-young guided me around, saying there was an empty building nearby where people from this barricade were staying.

I followed his directions.

And soon enough, I was able to sit down in a decent room.

It looked like they had remodeled something similar to an office to their liking, but it was quite comfortable and clean.

It seems like a lot of the furniture is still usable.

In this power that uses every piece of furniture as a barricade, I could roughly guess the extent of Oh Han-young’s power if it was a piece of furniture this good.

Over the past few days, I haven’t been idle.

At least we have figured out the hierarchy of this force.

And according to what I learned from Park Kang-chan, it was quite difficult to get a building that looked as clean as it did before the incident.

therefore…

Lee Han-cheol, a delivery man from the Post Office, is in grade 8. Park Kang-chan is also in grade 8.

The leader of Park Kang-chan’s faction is level 6.

And Kang Gil and Oh Han-young are level 5.

Park Kang-chan said that a building like this can be dreamed of starting from level 3, so it can be said that one level of skill is guaranteed.

It probably means that you have ambition of your own.

In that case, it seemed like what I was saying would work well.

I thought maybe they would add some flesh to it on their own.

If not, I have no choice but to do it myself.

“Tell me about your business.”

Oh Han-young smiled and said he was sorry for not being able to prepare something to eat.

I smiled and said it was okay, then slowly closed my mouth.

Oh Han-young smiled in amusement and suddenly opened his mouth.

“You came because of something that happened recently, right? Was the punishment weak?”

“Uh… No.”

I was just thinking about what to say.

But what kind of impression did it leave on Oh Han-young, with a smile full of interest?

I was slowly becoming anxious. I couldn’t figure out what on earth he was thinking to make that expression.

To begin with, I’m not that smart.

My mind only sped up for a moment, but there was very little I could do normally.

No, now was the time to focus.

I quickly came to my senses and opened my mouth as if I was surprised that something insignificant had been mentioned.

“Rather than that, wasn’t the punishment too quick…? And.”

“It’s an important time. They said they would do it as long as they don’t muddy the water, so it was unusual.”

“So that means war will break out in a little while?”

“… ”

Oh Han-young remained silent.

But that silence was almost like an answer.

Because it was certain that war would break out soon.

He was looking at me as if he knew me well, and only then did he relax a little and open his mouth.

“Then you don’t need a scouting party?”

“It is necessary, but the efficiency is low.

Although the distance from Jinju to Busan is not that far, zombie attacks were quite frequent.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t get proper information.

Also, dispatching a scouting party consumes its own supplies, so it is noticeable.

As you know, we do not receive separate support, and it consumes the department’s supplies.”

“That’s the best sound I’ve ever heard.”

“It seems like the teacher has some kind of trick.”

I thought for a moment.

Would it be better to say that I have a way to avoid zombies?

Or would it be better to just say that I did a good job of avoiding it?

I thought the latter would be better. The former can be easily shared.

Of course, Oh Han-young would know that I have a way.

You could have thought that you were able to avoid it with your physical abilities.

Well, anyway, now was the time to roll the dice.

“I came from Busan to Jinju. And while doing so, we didn’t get attacked by zombies.”

“Is that so?”

“If it’s reconnaissance, it’s okay to leave it to them. I am confident that I can steal information without being caught…

Because you won’t be able to come back after being attacked by a zombie.”

“The teacher is… Do you want to form a scouting party? You’re fast.”

“Huh? no. I just want to go out on my own. It’s annoying when there are a lot of people.”

“Is that so…? ”

Oh Han-young smiled meaningfully.

I don’t know what he was thinking or why he looked like he was having fun, but it seemed to be going well anyway.

What do you mean by planning to form a scouting party? What does it mean to be fast?

I really couldn’t tell what they were talking about.

I just wanted to go to Busan for a little while in the name of reconnaissance.

I think it would be enough to just take it easy and give it three to four days.

Since I had already traveled this route once, I could have done the round trip in about a day.

Besides, there was a lot of work to do.

If you see any survivors on the way, you have to tell them to run…

What should I do with those people after stopping by Jangyu?

I had to tell Kang Si-woo and Noh Chang-hoon everything I found out so far.

And since we have to create information to convey false information…

“Probably, about a week.”

“Will it take a week?”

“Before I came out, security was tight in certain areas, but now it will be even tighter.”

“Well… I guess so.”

“Time may be a bit tight if you consider getting in and out without being detected. Because I think I need to climb the mountain carefully.”

“Okay.”

what.

I didn’t expect it to be accepted so easily.

I deliberately called for plenty of time.

Even if real reconnaissance was needed, two days would have been enough.

However, Oh Han-young and Kang-gil seemed to have accepted that they really needed a week.

First of all, it was a pretty good thing for me.

The longer the time, the more things you can do.

But…

I had no idea that he would be so kind to me.

Now I was in a position to ask these people for a favor.

And it seemed like these two clever people would probably try to get something out of me.

Well, I guess I was trying to get something simple.

If something goes, something must come.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything coming here now.

Because they seemed to want to be friendly with me.

Kang-gil acts like he doesn’t like me, but to some extent, he doesn’t mean it.

First of all, I say no, but since we have to be close friends, I feel like we can hold hands if necessary.

And to the extent that Kang-gil does that, I will feel closer to Oh Han-young.

It was okay to say that the two of us made our own plans and controlled our impressions.

Anyway, I had no idea that I would achieve my goal like this without any cost.

The favorite foods packed in my pocket gave off an awkward presence.

I thought for a moment. Is it better to give this or not to give it?

Anyway, it seemed like they would continue the story on their own even if I didn’t bring this up.

And we will persuade our boss based on what we each think.

He’s going to give me a speech about what he can gain by helping me now.

As I indirectly know Oh Han-young’s eloquence, I did not think that he would fail.

Even if the deadline given to me is somewhat shortened, I will at least get reconnaissance permission.

But when things got like this, I couldn’t be satisfied with just that.

Wouldn’t it be good to be able to win for about a week for sure?

Cigarettes and condoms will strengthen Oh Han-young’s opinion to persuade her boss.

So, I took out all the favorite foods I had in my pocket.

“This is… ”

“You brought something useless, teacher.”

Kang Gil and Oh Han-young’s eyes changed slightly.

He didn’t seem to think I would bring this up.

No, I didn’t think I would take out this much amount.

At most, I would have guessed about one or two packs of cigarettes.

But since I have a large container, I just brought a little more.

I answered with a normal smile.

“If it failed, I was going to suggest it again.”

“I could have done well without this, but I am grateful that you gave it to me.”

Oh Han-young quickly changed his expression and smiled.

I nodded slowly. Kang-gil must have been visibly embarrassed, and his eyes were still shaking.

Kang Gil definitely felt like the leader of the action, and Oh Han-young felt like the brainiac.

Oh Han-young repeatedly emphasized that he would obtain reconnaissance permission from me unconditionally.

I returned home, leaving only a message to take care of it, and a few days later, Lee Han-cheol brought the documents.

And it was the scouting permit I was hoping for.
