Dojun Ahn was blank for a moment and then explained the Pilgrim’s Progress again.

All you have to do is take the opposite exit and go to the four stations mentioned above.

The church doesn’t record the route or do anything like that.

There is no big problem even if you use abusive language to cross the boundaries of the church.

Because it is also said to be another path of the Pilgrim’s Progress.

Of course, there is no way there is a recommended route.

In the end, the questions I asked were just meaningless nonsense.

Well, I did it knowing that, so there was no big problem.

Anyway, the question was just to organize my thoughts for a moment.

No, when I thought about it again, it wasn’t completely meaningless.

If what Dojun Ahn said is clear, there is no path to the Pilgrim’s Progress.

In other words, even if I go out the other exit and walk back here, they won’t stop me.

It was clear that telling people to take the exit on the other side probably meant a formal starting line.

So I asked a question right away.

“Then, can I go out through the other exit and come back in?”

“Yes. That too is possible. In any case, you only have to go to those four stations.”

“Aha.”

“But you’ll have to be careful. Because you don’t have a certificate.”

“Well, it’s okay if you don’t have anything like that. Because I’m strong.”

“You are full of confidence. I hope to see you in paradise after the Pilgrim’s Progress is over.”

Ahn Do-jun smiled kindly.

I could tell that he wasn’t a bad person, but that’s okay.

Perhaps because of what happened a little while ago, I couldn’t think of that smile as kindly.

Well, I don’t think it was done intentionally, so I’ll just move on.

If it wasn’t done intentionally, it’s not too late to think again.

So, whatever.

I took a deep breath and gathered my thoughts.

much. Yes, the important thing is reconnaissance of the Seoul area.

There was no need to worry about Park Si-hyuk and the other two.

I gave him a backpack full of supplies, so he will take care of it since he received it.

So, I organized my thoughts again.

First of all, considering the situation, it was surprisingly good.

They say it’s called Pilgrim’s Progress, but it’s obvious that it won’t be that difficult.

Let’s say you walk from Sindorim Station to Gupabal Station.

It takes maybe four and a half hours to walk from here to there?

Plus, if you add that I have a physical ability that is twice that of the average person… Hmm.

One hour if road conditions are good.

If it’s not that bad, maybe an hour and a half to two hours.

Then, we can finish the Pilgrim’s Progress within today.

It might be difficult for other people, but I don’t have to worry at all.

What Dojun Ahn said… about not trespassing on territory took a while, but whatever.

At best, they’ll just shoot you for trespassing.

It’s about pistols and rifles, and now I can just laugh it off.

Moreover, since there were almost no firearms other than rifles in the game, it can be ignored.

Thankfully, the calculation didn’t take too long.

The hesitation didn’t take long.

So, I went out the other exit, came back into the station, and started the Pilgrim’s Journey.

Dojun Ahn once again wished me luck.

The man next to me also said some good words.

Do you think it’s great courage to start the Pilgrim’s Progress even though you don’t have any proof?

“If someone sees it, they will think there is a monster.”

He grumbled and took a powerful step forward.

Even if a monster appears, it doesn’t matter.

Because I was confident that I would win no matter what variant appeared, as long as it wasn’t noble.

Is that why?

My worries about zombies disappeared within a few seconds.

Honestly, it was better to worry about things like food and scouting than to worry about things like that.

Of course, it seemed like it would work out somehow.

The route I chose is a route that takes me lightly around the outskirts of Seoul.

All you have to do is wander around a bit and remember what you think is important.

Coincidentally, there was a house nearby where I lived.

I don’t know how things work in this world, but there is Noh Chang-hoon.

Considering that the child adapted without difficulty, the geography of this world is probably similar to reality.

Who knows? The password to my house in this world might also be my birthday.

So, I didn’t think it would be a bad idea to stop by once.

There are some shops nearby… I was honestly quite curious.

So, I took a deep breath and immediately changed my route.

On the way to Gupabal Station, there is Eungam Station.

My house is just a few minutes’ walk from Eungam Station, so you can think of resting there for a while.

Anyway, I don’t think I’ll give you anything right away just because you finish Pilgrim’s Progress.

You can think of it as finding something to eat and drink during your stay.

It’s hard to say it’s a perfect plan, but whatever.

Usually, plans have to be able to be modified on the fly, right?

So, without any worries, I roughly figured out the direction and started walking.

Of course, I didn’t forget to observe my surroundings while walking around like that.

I don’t know how they did it, but they say they built a paradise in Seoul.

Then, it means that he would have definitely used whatever means or abilities he had.

Personally, I think the cult used the elders, but no one knew for sure.

Who knows?

The cult may have been abandoned and someone else may be pretending to be a saint.

So, I decided to try to remember everything I could see.

There were so many things to remember.

A gaze that seems to be constantly staring at me from somewhere.

People gathered in groups of twos and threes, wary of their surroundings.

And even a moan softly echoing through the building.

No, I don’t know anything else, but hearing a moan was a bit absurd.

To be able to claim paradise in a zombie apocalypse, there must be no zombies.

No matter what happens, it has to be absolutely safe from zombies?

But now the groans of zombies are echoing throughout downtown Seoul?

…How on earth did you do this?

As things turned out like this, things got quite ominous.

Well, it wasn’t anything else, but as I was thinking about it… I came up with a hypothesis.

If what you serve here is simply a distorted version of Christianity or Protestantism, that’s okay.

Isn’t that kind of pseudo-like something that commonly appears in the zombie apocalypse anyway?

However, if it is a religion that serves a noble person such as a king or queen, it is a bit different.

Whether it is the former or the latter, the material is concentrated on a specific person.

However, in the former case, at least the materials are concentrated on humans.

To humans, who can be persuaded and who can cooperate depending on the situation.

But what about the latter? What about the latter?

If we made a mistake, the appearance of the king or queen could have been accelerated.

Maybe it has already happened that way.

Thanks to this, it was quite a pain in the ass.

I don’t know how things will turn out, but an unpredictable variable has arisen.

If I tell you this, everyone will probably complain of headaches and struggle to calculate variables.

Well, that doesn’t mean the situation is bad at all.

What if I arrived here quite late?

Since we have arrived now, all we have to do is go back and take action.

So, if we think positively, we can say that it is actually good.

“Damn…”

Still, is it because things got messed up?

Even though I tried not to, cursing rose up in my throat.

Whether you think positively or not, there is a lot more to find out.

And just because there’s a lot to figure out means there’s a lot for me to do.

Thanks to this, I had a lot to think about and my mind became increasingly complicated.

“Ah, I don’t know!”

I shouted loudly on purpose.

Some people may think it’s strange, but whatever.

It’s not a bad thing to shout like this when your head becomes more complicated than the critical point.

After saying that, I put down my headset.

I didn’t forget to look beyond.

No matter how much you worry about it now, you can’t come up with a sharp solution, right?

In such a situation, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look beyond rather than worry more.

So I tried to walk blankly, looking beyond… but I saw something strange.

Two large department stores near Sindorim Station.

Between the two buildings, something like a green plant was growing.

It feels like the buildings are intertwined, but they are not… that ambiguous feeling?

It was difficult to criticize it and difficult to say no.

I can’t see the details because I saw it from a distance, but it looked half plant and half zombie.

Although I had a hectic way to go, it still bothered me to ignore such things.

There happened to be something like that right nearby, right?

So, after watching other people’s reactions, I walked towards the strange structure.

After I arrived, I looked closely, but I didn’t find anything.

It wasn’t much different from what I saw from far away.

Also, the fact that there was no significant change in his body even though he got closer also played a role.

If the temperature had gradually risen, I would have been on guard… but in reality, it was just quiet.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can just glance at it.

So, I took some time to ask other people questions.

Fortunately, when I told them I was on the Pilgrim’s Progress, everyone answered truthfully.

After asking that question, there was only one thing I found out.

They don’t know exactly what kind of structure that is.

I really want to get rid of it, but it takes resources and manpower to get rid of it, so I’m leaving it alone.

After hearing those answers, I was able to get a rough idea.

It’s probably something like a nest containing a spider or a variant of a spider.

I don’t know why they made something like that outside, but whatever.

It was not difficult to understand if you thought of them as variants that were eliminated due to faulty evolution.

So I decided to just remember it and started walking again.
