“So, should we go out?“

Choi Na-eun asked back with a bewildered expression, as if she was looking at a crazy woman.

It was evidence that hypnosis did not work properly even though it was applied to ordinary people.

“That must be it. We’re almost out of food.“

“Already…? Almost all of that stuff is gone?”

“Yes. There’s nothing we can do. The quantity is limited, but the number of people hasn’t been reduced. And we can’t get food right away, so we have to leave with a minimum amount. Otherwise, we might have to go out with an empty stomach without even emergency food. Honestly, it’s much better to be full than hungry, right?”

“……“

This stupid year must have been so caught up in her pleasures that she didn’t even bother checking her food.

By the way, it wasn’t a lie that we were almost out of food.

Will it take at least a week?

That is, if you don’t include the food that Han Jin secretly stole.

I’ve been steadily hiding almost two weeks’ worth of food to let these damn things know that the situation is dire.

“Isn’t that impossible?“

Only Choi Na-eun heard the setting that Sia had completely lost her powers to prevent confusion.

I tried to coax them with hopeful words, such as, “It’s hard to exert power in other years now,” but I never dreamed that it would lead to the worst situation.

Anyway, Choi Na-eun said with a troubled expression.

“Then what should I do?“

Choi Na-eun was mistaken in thinking that she was the first chosen Awakener of Sia and focused on enhancing her awakened powers.

Likewise, she personally stepped forward and trained the Awakened.

However, most of them were just rambling, and Choi Na-eun had no charisma, so they couldn’t train her properly, so she was just as powerful as the Tang Dynasty army, but incompetent. That was it.

In addition, if they weren’t bodyguards, they were originally human but are now dead. It’s hard to expect ordinary people and women to fight against zombies, so I wonder if they can fight properly.

Rather, wouldn’t they just escape, abandoning the formation they’d worked so hard to create?

“I can’t starve to death like this, right?“

“……“

Choi Na-eun was speechless.

“There’s not much difference between starving to death or dying from bites.“

No. Is this something I should even worry about? I’m going crazy.

If Choi Na-eun wasn’t in front of me, I would have wanted to hurl all sorts of curses at her.

“Okay… Okay. I’ll try to convince you.“

Persuasion…! That damn persuasion. This wasn’t a matter of persuasion.

What you have to do. You have to risk your life to fight off zombies and go find food.

Of course, it may or may not work on zombies, but Han Jin was the exception, as he was one of the few people who were certain that it would not work and thus could not awaken.

“Please help me.“

Han Yijin bowed her head with an expression full of apology.

As if I was so resentful and blaming myself for not being able to help.

*

“Is this… the end?“

“……“

Han Yijin tried hard to suppress a sigh as she looked at the people gathered in front of her.

That would be the case, because only five people realized that the situation was dire and decided to risk their lives to find food.

There are a whopping 27 awakened people. Five of them, including Choi Na-eun, are the last?

“What about other people?“

“None. This is the end. It doesn’t seem like it will help in the first place.“

The only fortunate thing was that Choi Na-eun, the strongest here, and the four people who followed her outside were men and bodyguards.

“What about Hayoon?“

Crackle crackle.

Choi Na-eun shook her head as if it was obvious.

By the way, the ability that Jiha Yoon awakened was speed.

Ji Ha-yoon was predicted to have an overwhelming advantage unless Choi Na-eun got lucky and got hit with an attack, so he was currently predicted to be the second strongest Awakened user after Choi Na-eun.

However, it is said that it takes more physical strength than it looks and that it is not possible to move quickly for a long time.

Even though it has a big limit, it can’t be a good enough ability.

“Did you explain the situation?“

“Oh. That’s still impossible.“

“Ha… You really don’t think about it?“

“Uh.“

Perhaps that bastard was determined to defeat them since he had awakened such great abilities.

I had a fondness for her because she had a cute appearance, but I found out that she was a vixen who would attack me if given the chance.

A bitch who won’t even lend a helping hand at a really important moment.

“Five people… Five people… I guess I’ll have to postpone it.“

Even though it was a setup, Choi Na-eun was the only person who told Han Yi-jin about Sia, so she was listening to Han Yi-jin’s words.

That means, the person closest to Han Yi-jin is Choi Na-eun. If that’s the case, then if they push her to the brink of death with this small number of people and never come back, Han Yi-jin’s position will inevitably decline even further.

He cannot kill her even if he wants to, and he cannot force her into a life-threatening situation because he absolutely must keep her by his side.

“It’s okay.“

“Huh?“

“It’s okay. I’m enough on my own.“

“What are you talking about?!“

“I just have to deal with the zombies and get food by myself.“

What is this stupid bitch talking about now?

If the kid had any experience killing zombies, that would be the case, but he had never killed a zombie before and had never fought anyone with this ability in the first place.

So, she is no different from an ordinary woman who only has strong strength.

“Sia trusts me. I have to repay her.“

Oh…right

He was saying things like that, saying that he was the first to awaken after receiving direct help from Sia, not to mention receiving more favor from her than expected.

I can’t say it’s bad, but you have to be careful about the situation and make a fuss.

If I keep doing that, I might get bitten and fall without being able to use my strength properly when faced with a real zombie.

Han Yi-jin’s head started to hurt again as she looked at Choi Na-eun, who was full of confidence without a plan.

“But that won’t work. Sia-nim treasures Naeun-ssi. If Naeun-ssi doesn’t come back, I’ll have to see Sia-nim’s sad face every day. So, can you wait a little longer?“

“Sia-nim…..?“

“Yes. It’s Sia-nim. You mentioned it last time. You said that the next person I love is… “

“……“

He lied again to prevent himself from doing something reckless.

Choi Na-eun blushed as she chewed on the word love, her face sad as if this was the right answer.

“Okay……“

Choi Na-eun walked towards the room where Sia was as if possessed.

“You can go back. I don’t know when, but I’ll call you later.“

“Yes, ma’am.“

Even the bodyguards went back.

Han Jin, who was left alone like that, bit her lower lip so hard that it bled.

“You fucking bitches. Let’s see what happens later.“

I really wondered if they would have the complacent thought that even if they ran out of food, someone would come get them.

*

“Ha… Really, there isn’t any?“

The beautiful women who were both Sia’s concubines and Awakened ones let out empty laughter as they looked at the food warehouse.

“What have you been doing without saving me until now?“

The target has changed to men who shamelessly think it is natural to take care of the dragon’s wives.

“I’m sorry… but my wife kept telling me to wait……“

“You really waited for that? Are you an idiot? If you had any thoughts, you should have gone out and rescued us before you tried to trick us. Right?“

“I’m sorry.“

The person in charge of the VVIP floor, despite having awakened to quite a decent amount of power, was unable to even make a proper excuse and was busy just apologizing.

I could tell that he was trying to hold back his bad mood by looking at his rotten expression.

If she hadn’t been a dragon, Sia’s woman, she would have died right away, or maybe she would have been gang raped by men who wanted to satisfy their sexual desires by making her a sex slave because she was pretty, and wouldn’t she not even know who her father is.

“Ha. Save me now.“

She completely transformed into a member of the ruling class. Ji Ha-yoon gave orders.

“Right now…right now?“

“Why can’t you do it?“

“……“

Even the bodyguards have never killed a person before, so it would not be easy to kill a completely human-shaped living corpse like a zombie.

Moreover, it is a monster called a zombie that can only be seen in the virtual world, and it is even worse when there are a lot of them.

“If you keep doing that, it will just be a meaningless death.“

Han Yi-jin spoke as if she had accidentally heard Ji Ha-yoon’s words at just the right time as she arrived at the food warehouse late.

“Nayoon and four bodyguards. With five people in total, it’s clear that they won’t be able to get anywhere near the food.“

“Then what? Let’s all suck our fingers and starve to death?“

“No. Why can’t I think of anything else?“

Here, you have no choice but to suck your thumb.

“Aren’t there many people here who can fight zombies?“

For example, you. Jiha Yoon.

“Me… You want me to fight you? Huh…..?“

Ji Ha-yoon laughed as if it was absurd.

“Why me?“

Even if you have the power, why do you have to go into such trouble? And you are the wife of a dragon.

It seemed like he wanted to say that.

“What can I do?“

Despite being the first woman and the first wife, most of the women, including Ji Ha-yoon, ignored her.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

Even though her face and body were not as good as before and she had not even awakened, she was still the closest person to Sia, so it was not at all strange that she became the object of hatred beyond jealousy.

“I’m not an Awakened person. And among the Awakened people, aren’t we the strongest?“

You said you weren’t the awakened ones, but then you packaged yourself as us.

And then, with a serious expression, he continued speaking.

“And this is something I’ve been hiding until now. In fact, Sia-nim.“

What would happen if, on top of the bad news of not having food, there was the added bad news that Sia was now powerless?

Of course, panic will erupt.

But if there was someone who could keep me centered in a state of panic, and if it wasn’t just one person, but Choi Na-eun, who was the strongest here, wouldn’t things be different?

Why. Didn’t they say something like that in the movie? If only we could turn fear into courage.

And if Sia uses all of her power to give them power, but then makes them feel guilty about not doing anything with the power they received.

“There’s only you.“

As soon as he finished speaking, confusion arose.

From women to men, everyone was moved to tears.

“All of us. Let’s train.“

Now that my mental powers are weakened, I put myself under hypnosis.

The Awakened were no exception, and they were told to train themselves to become stronger while under hypnosis.
