Noh Chang-hoon already knew the answer.

When moss is boiled, it becomes a green liquid that acts as an adhesive.

It’s not as hard or as hard as cement, but it can be used in construction if needed.

They also said that if you burn it, it dries out, and if you leave it alone, you can use it as clothing.

They said it was possible to disinfect it by drying it well in the sun.

“So you have to collect everything after lighting it on fire?”

That seemed like it would be very difficult.

Moss, there were a lot of them.

It seemed like a lot of work to burn it all and then tear it down.

After lighting the fire in the first place, it seemed like it would be tiring to maintain it.

I’m not sure because I only glanced at it, but there must be a lot of moss like that throughout the city.

If you light a fire there, it will probably burn brightly.

It will take a huge amount of effort to keep the fire from spreading throughout the city.

Or you could just rip it off before it catches fire.

Anyway, I felt like this wasn’t going to be enough trouble, so I sighed.

“Wow, that must be a lot of work.”

“No, there is no need for that.”

“Huh?”

“When moss catches fire, it shrivels up and falls off from where it is stuck.”

“Then I just have to pick up the fallen things?”

“Yes. It can be beaten moderately and used as clothing, or it can be completely burned.”

“Where else is it used?”

“Warning.”

I felt like I could roughly understand it.

Whoever started the fire artificially or accidentally started it.

It is certain that it is dangerous if the situation is such that the Moss burns down.

So it smelled like something chemical, so it seemed like zombies were avoiding it.

A fitting analogy also came to mind.

“You mean it’s a popular secretion bag?”

“No, not like that.”

“En? Why?”

“We just make the zombies carefully, so it’s a trade-off.”

“Ah.”

If you were an ordinary zombie, you would avoid it appropriately.

Even if it continues to be strengthened, it won’t be able to last long at the scene of a fire.

However, if it is a high-ranking variant or an intelligent variant, you will be more cautious.

Since I still don’t think there is a fire, I will only give information about where the fire started.

It was like telling them that there was an unknown risk factor, making it difficult to deal with.

“I think it will probably be used as clothing or adhesive.”

“Yes, I guess so. Well, then there was nothing to worry about.”

Noh Chang-hoon smiled faintly after hearing my answer.

Maybe he was worried about something, but it seemed like it had been resolved.

But I didn’t know what that bastard was worried about.

Well, at least it depends on how strong the nobles there are.

And I had no intention of running away, no matter how strong it was or not.

Rather, it’s been a while since I’ve been fighting with this bastard.

There was no reason to refuse.

Since I’m tired from using my head for so long, I’ll be able to do as he tells me to.

It seemed like I would go to the elite few, but that didn’t matter.

“Would you like Kang Si-woo to go with you?”

Spores have an aphrodisiac effect, and there were a lot of people who would be attracted to them.

Kang Si-woo also has many women he has to take responsibility for, well.

I will take advantage of this opportunity to take care of myself.

Looking at Noh Chang-hoon’s expression, it was clear.

This guy is a writer, so he knows a lot about Kang Si-woo’s psychology.

Maybe it was important to go there in person, but it seemed like they were trying to collect those spores somehow.

Also, given the setting, those spores were not harmful to the human body.

“The campus will be noisy at night for a while.”

Noh Chang-hoon chuckled after hearing my joke.

And he muttered softly, but I couldn’t understand half of it.

Still, I was able to guess what the content was.

Maybe they made the settings too convenient in this way.

“Use your mask well, Yeji Lee.”

“That should be it.”

“To avoid showing each other our ugly sides.”

“If you get caught, they will make fun of you, so be prepared.”

“Huh.”

The story ended there.

Since we had been together for so long anyway, I knew at what point the conversation would come up again.

Maybe we’ll talk again after I resolve the matter in Jinju.

Or you could come out after doing some other things after that.

So now it was time to ask something else.

I said, tapping the table.

“Are our supplies okay?”

“Food is not enough.”

“I thought so. What do you think will happen if Jinju’s matter is resolved?”

“Are you talking about that industrial complex? Surely it could happen.”

However, Noh Chang-hoon smiled bitterly, saying it was not a dramatic solution.

I had no choice but to agree with that.

First of all, the problem was whether the conversation with the corporation could be resolved well.

They trust me, but they don’t trust our forces either.

Also, just because the problem was resolved did not mean that all problems were over.

There are only a handful of people who can safely travel on the highway.

Thanks to this, it was obvious that I would use the car more often than not.

Of course, people who knew about livestock and related knowledge were worth it.

However, there is no certainty that there will be no zombie attack just because it is a car.

Since oil was limited, food was a choice among many options.

Unless you can get gas from somewhere else, it will be difficult when you have to use the car.

I gathered my thoughts up to that point and asked one more time.

“There are no particular problems other than food, right?”

“Not right now, but if Operation Miracle on the Nakdong River goes ahead.”

“Sounds like a lot of problems will arise, wow.”

“… Do you know what the strategy is?”

Noh Chang-hoon spoke to me as if it were absurd.

Of course, there was no way I knew what the operation was. You heard that now.

I’m not a psychic, so how do I know what kind of strategy it is?

I could just roughly guess it by looking at what they were saying.

It must be an operation so important that it consumes a large amount of supplies.

“Is my prediction roughly correct?”

When I told him what I thought, Noh Chang-hoon looked at me as if I was pitiful.

Still, he was probably half right; he didn’t look very pathetic.

Noh Chang-hoon slowly began to explain.

“Operation Nakdong River Miracle is an operation to rally nearby survivors.”

“Can you abbreviate it so simply?”

“Of course not. We will rally them to places where important local and military facilities are located.

Unless there are zombies or other special reasons, it is a place where citizens can be safely protected.”

“Well, well. Because we have a military base.”

From now on, it was time to focus on war rather than battle.

In such a situation, having a military unit that had strong weapons and knew how to plan strategies was a huge advantage.

Above all, it is unclear how long it can be used, but it is also possible to report the situation through radio.

It was safe to say that the only thing left to do now was to keep winning.

Of course, this will be done on the premise that the operation proceeds properly and Gyeongsang-do is recovered.

When I thought about the other people who had been good to me so far, the future seemed bright.

“Then I just have to worry about Jinju now, right?”

“Yes. Yeji Lee, I think you handle that work well.”

“Of all the things I’ve heard, I like it the most. As expected, I feel most comfortable doing what someone tells me to do.”

“I thought so. Take care of yourself.”

“Hey, I wonder if it could hurt anything.”

Even if you get hurt, you can recover, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Noh Chang-hoon seemed to have something more to say, but for some reason he didn’t say anything.

Normally, I would have done it even if I had to nag.

And a few days passed by.

In the meantime, I washed the clothes I brought from Jangyu and stored the wearable ones.

I once went to a military base and saw Lee Ye-ji and Kang Jin-hyuk.

Before I knew it, I was raising other animals besides cats, and it was nice to see that they seemed to be doing well and healthy.

The relationship between the two of them seems to have developed, and it was very sweet.

The campus seemed very busy.

I wonder if there are any days when I’m not busy, but whatever.

Everyone worked hard to gather supplies.

It was only then that I realized that Operation Miracle on the Nakdong River had already spread in its own way.

Thanks to this, people worked with the hope that they could return to the way things were before the incident.

There were some people who were worried about the pearl, but they didn’t seem to think it was a big problem.

So there was no particular problem.

It’s not that there weren’t any minor problems, but they were something everyone could solve on their own.

So, there was nothing for me to worry about about the Busan forces.

There was a lot to worry about about the Jinju forces.

First of all, Kang Shin and Cha Soo-hyun did not come to see me.

So I went to see him because I needed information about Haejin, but he avoided me.

He even fell down, holding his head, as if he couldn’t say that.

Maybe it would have been better if only those two had acted like that.

Next to me, Choi Ha-rang, whose expression was sour, also complained that my question gave him a headache.

Other saints on campus did the same, as did saints in other areas.

Since everyone reacted that way, I had no choice but to come up with a hypothesis.

What means did that idiot use to punish the disobedient saint, and used his abilities to hide it?

It seemed like an allusion to brainwashing abilities.

The severity was so severe that some people complained of pain just by hearing the question.

It was common for people to vomit due to nausea, and in severe cases, they even committed self-harm.

Thanks to this, there was one thing I knew.

I don’t know what kind of trauma Ahn Hae-jin had, but I was told not to provoke it.
