Several dozen minutes passed like that.

Noh Chang-hoon seemed to be taking notes on everything I said.

It was clear to see that the crunching sound was heard throughout the radio call.

I enjoyed the crunching sound for a moment, then laughed.

Having heard everything up to this point, I knew what Noh Chang-hoon was going to say.

– Come back.

– I think I got everything I deserved.

– Is there any reason to be there any longer?

– Don’t talk nonsense, come back.

As expected, it was just as I thought.

It seemed like the order would go something like this.

In the past, I think I would have been angry about this situation.

You don’t respect my wishes and only give me strict orders.

But for some reason, I’m not angry at all now.

No, it’s strange to be angry.

It seemed like the worry was clearly evident in that voice, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

And after holding back laughter for a moment, he joked.

“I wish you were here too. First of all, the air is really clear.”

– It must be clear because there are plants like that.

“And there are many more things to look into. I’ve only seen the outline so far.”

– But you still want me to come back?

“More than anything, the operation must have been carried out by now.”

Noh Chang-hoon did not answer.

He was pressing the button, but it seemed like he couldn’t because he had nothing to say.

Even if the operation was not carried out, it did not matter.

“If there are no supplies to get from Jangyu, it will be quite difficult.”

– … yes.

“And even if I go back, there’s nothing I can do.”

– …

“I have to keep monitoring the situation around here anyway, but should I come back?”

– I didn’t know I would lose to you in logic.

Noh Chang-hoon grumbled like that.

And after saying that, he looked at me, and it was really cute.

Well, if I were to be honest, it was something that would make me angry.

But I know that he said that because he was worried about me.

“So you can’t give an order to return?”

– good.

– I understand that it is not a situation to return.

– But you know it’s not a situation to move forward, right?

– Just stay there. It’s an order.

“… Ah.”

I smiled sheepishly and answered that I would.

It seemed like I had taken a hit.

To be honest, I wanted to look around a little closer.

I wanted to destroy all those damn insects’ nests and set them on fire.

However, since it was emphasized as an order, it seemed like it would be good to be considerate of Noh Chang-hoon.

Above all, my head didn’t feel too hot.

I was so angry after seeing that scene.

Being angry meant being angry, so it was good to end it here.

After all, it’s not like there’s no chance for revenge.

“Okay, then I’ll stay nearby and monitor the situation.”

– Don’t do anything nonsense, and if something is lacking, contact me right away.

“You sleep well. Honestly, I feel like you’ll be there whenever I contact you.”

– You sure?

Noh Chang-hoon, perhaps stung by my words, kept making excuses.

But the excuses didn’t last very long.

I don’t know, but Noh Chang-hoon had a lot of work to do.

Not long after, Noh Chang-hoon said hello and hung up the radio.

“… I wanted to talk more.”

I sighed while fiddling with the empty radio.

But it was clear that it was my greed, so I didn’t say anything else.

Whether it’s Kang Si-woo, someone else, or anything else, wanting to rely on this situation is greedy.

“Jang Yu must be busy right now.”

No one answered, but I still wanted to talk to myself.

So I put the radio in my pocket, sat down on the railing, shook my legs, and thought.

Noh Chang-hoon could have ignored my opinion.

But looking at what they didn’t do, it seemed like the material situation was really bad.

I guess he was weighing it in his mind.

my safety. and community safety.

Naturally, the latter was bound to be heavier.

Without supplies, the safety of the community was compromised, so supplies were a priority.

If my safety was really important, I would have dispatched someone even if it meant giving up on the operation to obtain supplies.

“… Um.”

I groaned and thought for a moment, then shook my head.

To be honest, I wanted to go radio again.

The sight of the corpse still lingered before my eyes, and I felt sick to my stomach.

Normally I would have gotten through it just fine, but it could have been because it was my first time seeing a corpse like that.

“… It’s better if it’s green.”

The pale skin was still visible before my eyes.

How did you fix it, but even so

Even thinking about it again made me feel dirty, so I couldn’t bear it.

Unfortunately, I didn’t bring any alcohol with me, so I couldn’t drink and get drunk.

However, it was difficult to get alcohol here.

In the end, what I chose was reconnaissance of the surrounding area.

First of all, I thought it would be a good idea to eat something and rest a bit.

And after resting, if I look around and smash something, I’ll feel better.

There were a lot of useful plants around here, so it didn’t seem like there would be much inconvenience in staying there.

There were some plants that contained water and some fruits.

Besides, there was honey in that building, so it seemed like there wouldn’t be any problem.

Well, I had to get everything I could to become self-sufficient.

There was nothing we could do because it was not a situation where we could receive more support.

“I should bring what’s there.”

I took out a well-packaged hot bar and mumbled it, thinking about it.

Since we had to stay here for several weeks, food and water were the most important.

So, we had to carefully plan where and what supplies to bring.

If you make a mistake, you may have to tighten your belt.

First of all, it was necessary to get all the honey from the nest.

Since it was high in calories, it was definitely beneficial.

Since you can eat it with fruit or something else, I thought it would be a good idea to bring that first.

There were probably some fruits there, as well as vines and construction debris…

what. In the end, it’s best to build a nest.

“… Is that so?”

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a better way than to build a nest.

There is also a saying that supply is originally done locally.

So, I thought all I had to do was wander around and find the nest.

Since it is a storehouse of dozens of insects, there must be enough for me to eat.

No, it seemed like it would be okay to just move the base there.

There was also some construction debris, so it could have blocked the tunnel.

Honestly, it seemed like a crazy idea, but I didn’t think there was much better than this.

“All you have to do is smash the heads of the people who come looking for you.”

If it were Noh Chang-hoon, he would have dissuaded me.

I guess they said something about sleeping in the middle of enemy territory when there was a cave down there.

But I wasn’t that worried.

I can be sure because I fought it myself.

They were all weak. I was so weak that I wasn’t scared even when a horde came.

“More than anything, there was something like a pillar nearby.”

I munched on the beef jerky and searched my mind as much as I could.

Even if it wasn’t the pillar, there were tall buildings around.

It didn’t seem like it was that far from here, so I guess radio would work.

If not, well… You can just move to a place that works and do it.

“Okay, I’ve decided!”

I clapped my hands and started packing up the house.

I weighed it all up, and no matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like it would be better to make the base there.

I thought it would be faster to fortify that place than to move all the supplies there.

We hadn’t unpacked everything yet, so packing didn’t take long.

After a few minutes, I took the Ochu and came out of the building.

Then, after slowly looking around, he started walking towards the nest again.

After entering the nest, the first thing I did was seal the hole.

I had no reason to go in here anymore anyway.

Of course, I thought it didn’t matter how many insects came, but that was different.

It would be scary if you were sleeping and suddenly thought there was a wasp or cockroach right in front of you.

I felt like there would be a lot of other troublesome things going on, so I filled in the hole meticulously.

There were a lot of useful things, so it wasn’t difficult.

Not only was there an iron gate, but there were also a lot of things that insects had piled up in the first place.

So after spending about 20 minutes, I felt like I had roughly covered everything.

After filling up the hole, I jumped on it a few times.

Seeing as there was no problem even though I put all my weight on it, I thought I could ignore it.

“Now… Is it the end if we get rid of the body?”

I thought about it as I roughly removed the green sticky material from my hand.

I thought my job would be done once I burned all the bodies.

However, the concern was whether to fortify it or not.

However, even if we fortified it, it seemed pointless.

“It’s so hollow.”

I chuckled and went upstairs to remove the body.

Perhaps because it was assumed that bees or ants would enter, this building had too many holes.

It was better from the second floor, but the first floor could actually be considered an entrance except for the pillars.

Of course, it would take a lot of work to fortify a building like this.

Anyway, I’m not in danger if insects come, and I just don’t have to use the first floor.

So I neatly abandoned the fortifications and began clearing away the corpses.
