Park Kang-chan looked at the documents alternately with me and then spoke slowly.

“You succeeded.”

“Then you won’t succeed?”

“I didn’t know when I first heard that I was going to go out for reconnaissance.”

I avoided Park Kang-chan’s gaze.

Yesterday, just like that. I said right away that I was going to go scouting.

Of course, Park Kang-chan turned over. Is that what you meant by asking the Ministry of National Defense?

There were many other reasons, but the biggest reason was that it was dangerous to go outside Jinju City.

What I’m saying is that we need to be careful not only of zombies, but also of people.

I heard there are cases where they form a reconnaissance party and send assassins along.

Of course, it was a valid concern.

It was not unreasonable for Park Kang-chan to be so concerned.

Because ever since I came here, I’ve been a hot potato.

He has proven his ability since he came in, and he is not sitting still but is busy moving around.

Not long after, he was invited to the Congress and scouted by the Ministry of Defense, and in addition to that, he continues to collect information.

Of course, if there was someone you disliked or someone you wanted to keep in check, you could do that.

I have gone on a different trajectory from the person I was before.

It’s not for nothing that they say that if you can’t have it, you’ll destroy it, right?

But there wasn’t much to worry about.

When I heard the story, people here said that it was very difficult to carry a rifle outside.

It is said that one can easily carry a handgun, but if an unauthorized person carries a rifle outside, he or she will be shot.

And since it was said that only very high-ranking people could give permission, the assassins would probably only have pistols at best.

But the pistol wasn’t enough to kill me.

He probably knew that by now, but I didn’t know why he was looking at me so pitifully.

“Still, reconnaissance was necessary once. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Then it worked out well. I wonder if our interests coincided.”

I smiled slyly.

But Park Kang-chan did not laugh.

I took a moment to consider the reason. And I quickly realized.

“No, of course, you have to pay a fair price for packing.”

“At least you have good sense, sister.”

“Hey, did I keep exploiting you without giving you anything in return?”

“That’s not true, but you treated me pretty hard, right?”

“… ”

For a moment, I thought about the things I had done over the past few days.

… I was definitely treated badly. Well, it’s not that I didn’t take care of it at all.

I could say I ate it all the way through.

But still, I couldn’t help it. I have to treat him like this now so I have a reason to save him.

What about me? He also forgave me for hitting me with the truck.

If I didn’t work this hard, I wouldn’t have anything to say to Kang Si-woo.

Even if I forgive, I don’t think other people will forgive me.

So, it was right to roll now while you can.

So I slowly pointed to a bag.

I asked for a small bag and a sturdy bicycle to use for reconnaissance, and it looks like Lee Han-cheol brought it with him.

I also received canned goods and bottled water, so I felt reassured.

“Put some food and drinking water in there.”

“Yes.”

“And I’ll probably leave as soon as I’m ready, so I’ll tell that to the barricade over there.”

“Your sister will do the reporting.”

Park Kang-chan grumbled. To do everything I ask you to do, you need to have two bodies.

Of course, I was going to report that I was going out on a reconnaissance trip.

You can’t pass that on to him.

I thought maybe I would figure out the shortest route there again.

When I came here I had to turn around, but now I don’t have to.

All you have to do is take the national highway that takes you straight to Busan and just keep going.

You may be able to leave whenever you want.

Anyway, it was very convenient to have someone give permission.

I thought you were running away secretly. You must be scratching your head right now.

I watched Park Kang-chan work for a while.

Park Kang-chan seemed busy calculating the food and water he would need for a week.

“I’ll go to the barricade for a while, so wait for me.”

“Yes.”

Park Kang-chan answered without even looking at me.

I didn’t think anything would happen even if I left Park Kang-chan alone, so I went straight out of the house.

And then I walked to the barricade just like I did a few days ago.

Now the guards no longer catch me.

As soon as he saw me, he just walked somewhere.

Not long after, I was able to meet Kang Gil and Oh Han-young again like a few days ago.

“What is your business, sir?”

Oh Han-young asked with a kind smile.

I looked at their expressions for a moment. It seemed much better than a few days ago.

Kang Gil would normally have looked at me with regret, but now his expression was much softer.

I wondered if this was why people had to turn their heads.

And there has to be a bribe to smooth that hair.

Anyway, now it seemed like no matter what I said, they would smile and say they would support me.

It would have been a good sign if this was where I would live in the future, but unfortunately, it was not.

There was only one thing to say anyway.

“I’m planning to go scouting today. How can I ask you to guard my house while I’m away?”

“Home expenses, you mean?”

“I’m going to lock the door first and put some gifts in there… Still, something unpleasant can happen.”

“Okay, sir. We will take care of that.”

“The business ends with this.”

“Then, I hope you have a good scouting experience. It would be nice to see you again in good health.”

“Yes.”

I ignored Kang Gil’s gaze.

So, the look in your eyes as if you were expecting something.

I think they’re thinking that they might run out of more beans, but there’s no way they’ll give it to me.

If Oh Han-young was looking forward to it in the first place, he would have thought about one thing.

However, Oh Han-young’s expression was calm, as if he was already satisfied that I had brought up the topic of reconnaissance.

It seemed like there was probably nothing more to worry about here for the time being.

I need to take more care of Park Kang-chan, who is grumbling and packing his bags at home.

After thinking about that, I slowly returned home.

Park Kang-chan seemed to be busy packing his bags.

It seemed like he put as much food and other things as he could fit in his bag and was thinking about what to put in the other pockets.

I didn’t say anything and just watched how Park Kang-chan packed his things.

But, well. It wasn’t as amazing or as exciting as I thought.

Does it feel like you’re just packing something ordinary and fancy?

It was just there. It’s not like there’s any special method.

“It’s all packed, sister. There’s another pocket here for everything you need, so you can put it there.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

I slowly looked at the luggage that Park Kang-chan had packed.

I thought this would be enough to get to Busan and back.

Even if you encounter an unexpected situation, there will be no problem.

Of course, it was obvious that Noh Chang-hoon would be worse off than carrying cheap luggage.

But in this situation, nothing seemed better than this.

So now it was time to give something to Park Kang-chan for his hard work.

I briefly ordered Park Kang-chan to bring the luggage to the first floor and opened Ochu’s storage space.

Although I ate everything I wanted to eat, there were some foods that would spoil if I didn’t eat them within a week.

Of course, you can eat it all, and it was a problem that could be solved if you took it with you to go scouting.

But now I had to have less food.

I escaped from Busan in a hurry, but it would be strange if I had a lot of food with me.

The point is that you need to show less food than you have.

So what to do with the excess food?

Since I can’t put it all in my bag and take it with me, I’ll have to give it to someone.

I took out some unopened foods and organized them in a corner.

There was some unpackaged food, but I thought it would be perfect to eat today.

“Sister, I left it behind.”

“Uh, are you here?”

“… What is all that?”

Park Kang-chan looked into a corner with trembling eyes.

They seemed quite embarrassed, as they didn’t expect there to be this much food.

I smiled calmly.

“I don’t think I can eat all of this, so please take some with you.”

“… Is this really okay?”

“If I held it anyway, I would only get strange looks. So you secretly eat it all.”

“… ”

“If you don’t take it, you have to throw it away.”

“It would be better for me to eat it rather than throw it away.”

Park Kang-chan hurriedly packed the food.

I chuckled while looking at that. Looking at Park Kang-chan’s expression, it seemed like all the complaints he had built up against me had disappeared.

Anyway, he was a very easy kid. As long as you take care of the carrots, they will smile brightly as if nothing happened.

After handing over all the food, there really was nothing else to do.

Park Kang-chan will take care of the fish traps and traps while you are away for a week.

Because Oh Han-young and Kang Gil said they would take care of the house.

Well, I made a few traps, set them up, and that was it.

I thought I should just rest, but lying still made me feel very sore.

In the end, I decided to check the strategy one last time and took out my notebook.
