The insects were constantly flapping their wings and buzzing.

It could be said to be truly spectacular, and I never got tired of watching it.

No, perhaps it could be said that I was in awe of the greatness of nature.

Honestly, when will you ever see insects the size of animals flying around like that?

“Ha… ”

I sighed and looked at the group of insects moving like clouds.

I wasn’t scared or anything. Rather, it could be said that he was confident.

What I was worried about was something else.

There isn’t just one reason why you came to Gijang.

“What should I do with the supplies?”

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like there would be any food left.

It would be nice if there were even ordinary items left.

The materials needed by ordinary humans and the materials mainly used by insects were completely different.

Naturally, while the insects continued to build their nests, they were sure to be damaged.

Well, it wasn’t that there was nothing to gain at all.

Honey and fruit. And other food items that the insects would continue to gather.

Since you can get them, it wasn’t a loss at all.

And you might get lucky, right?

If there were undamaged supplies, it could have been beneficial.

So, without giving up hope, you can search every building you see.

“It may have been preserved because of moss.”

Well, other people might have a hard time removing the moss.

It won’t be my job to deal with it, so I can just stop worrying about it.

My job is done just by reconnoitring Gijang-gun and finding out some rough information.

If you hold on to it, it will escape. Even if Kang Si-woo cries and begs, he won’t listen.

You may say that you are going through a hard time by buying it unnecessarily, but it doesn’t matter.

First of all, you worked hard, right? I feel good about working when I get paid for it.

“Okay, now let’s just do our own thing.”

I said that and slowly relaxed my body.

In this situation, it was not strange even if insects attacked at any time.

So, this is the end of the random thoughts.

If you don’t concentrate, it won’t be surprising if you die at any time.

So, I was walking down the street with great concentration, but something strange happened.

Now you could say we were really close, right?

But the insects showed no reaction to me.

It was strange because I was just continuing to work.

Now I could say I was a wasp.

Those guys are bees. Since wasps have arrived where bees work, there will be chaos.

But I was quite uneasy that there was no way it could be this quiet.

“… So are you going to give up?”

Even though I didn’t fight, I was quite embarrassed to go back.

And there is no turning back for me now.

Kang Si-woo also admitted this and ordered an attack.

Insects weren’t strong to begin with, so there was no reason to be afraid of them being quiet.

“There were a lot of them, but they were weak… ?”

As I said up to that point, I didn’t have a good feeling.

So I quickly turned my head and reflexively looked at the nearby building.

“Oh, what a surprise!”

There was a spider several meters long hiding there.

Since the building was all green and the spider’s body was also green, it was even more strange to recognize it.

The spider must have realized that it had been caught, and it took my image into its big eyes.

And in an instant, it raised its front leg upward and lunged at me.

I immediately raised the baton and swung it loudly.

The spider was hit by the attack and staggered.

I swung the leg with the intention of blowing it off, but it didn’t seem to be weak at all.

Since he came close to his base, he must not be weak.

“That doesn’t change anything!”

It was slow.

It seemed so slow that I could almost declare that.

Even for that brief moment when he gathers a lot of strength in his legs and charges forward with his fangs forward.

It seemed very slow if I concentrated, so it was strange that I couldn’t react.

The baton, loaded with force, was swung from top to bottom.

The spider was hit by the baton at the same speed it was charging, and its head exploded.

I struck him one last time to confirm his death, then took out the lighter and lit it on fire.

“After all, each one is weak.”

A grumble came out of my mouth automatically.

But I couldn’t help but complain.

If several of these guys attack at the same time, there will be no choice but to allow the attack.

Kang Si-woo or Noh Chang-hoon would have responded skillfully, but I did not.

It definitely looked like he had been bitten by a spider.

“… Ugh.”

Green poison was flowing from the spider’s fangs.

And soon the fangs were swallowed up by the fire and died.

It seemed like if I got bitten, I would be in quite a bit of trouble.

I don’t know how effective the spider’s poison will be on me.

There is just venom, but the venom that spiders use is usually called a neurotoxin…

It was obvious just by looking at it that something terrible would happen, so I decided to focus more.

It may be possible to talk nonsense about overcoming poison with spirit, but I’ve never actually tried it.

“… No, wouldn’t it work?”

If you think about it, bullets were like that too.

I didn’t know how much I suffered because I didn’t know that my body had become strong enough to block a bullet.

So I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try an experiment now.

If you know that poison doesn’t work, you’ll be able to use it more effectively in battle.

So I decided to intentionally get bitten by the fangs next time, and kept walking forward.

The other insects didn’t react at all to me moving around.

That was definitely strange.

It was strange to say that I had never been noticed by those insects flying in the air.

Above all, those insects recognized me not only by sight, but also by smell.

Besides, there are some things I’ve caught along the way.

Even if it didn’t recognize me, it was very strange to see it flying around so carelessly.

“… Are you really being ignored?”

No, I wasn’t ignored.

A spider attacked you a little while ago.

If you think about that, you probably aren’t ignoring me at all.

If so, it seemed like there must be another reason.

“… Ah!”

That’s why it was like this.

The reason those insects didn’t react was because there were insects that acted in this situation.

I laughed blankly and started getting ready to fight.

Predatory insects were appearing in all directions.

Moreover, its size was much larger than the last time I saw it.

There were some that were so big that there was no way they could fit into the sewer, so that’s all.

Naturally, the strength seemed to be different.

“A, C.”

There was no place to run away.

There were already insects several meters tall spread out in all directions.

Unless it had wings, there was no way it could escape.

… And if you see the sound of a helicopter, you won’t be able to escape even if you fly.

“Well, am I going to die?”

I muttered that and put a lot of strength into my feet.

With a feeling as if the floor cracked and was hit, my body shot forward.

Speed is power. The baton, swung at that speed, exploded the face of a katydid the size of a motorcycle.

As the bodily fluids began to splatter on the floor, insects rushed at me all at once.

The first thing that attacked me was the wart.

I felt it grab me with its front paws and apply such force that I couldn’t even flinch.

That doesn’t mean I can’t move my feet, so I kicked the mantis’ chest without panicking.

Perhaps because he applied quite a bit of force, the mantis’ chest exploded.

Of course, my body exploded, but there was no way I could move.

The mantis let go of me, and I landed straight on the ground to catch the next attack.

I gave my left arm as bait to the wasp that was striking me with its jaws, and swung my arm like that.

The wasp that bitten its jaws hastily became an excellent weapon in itself.

A wasp the size of a wild boar fell in the distance and became entangled with insects, and I swung my baton and knocked down another wasp.

Then, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and hit the head of the streetwalker who was running in front of him.

Of course, this wasn’t the end.

Perhaps because someone put their weight on me and hit me, I fell.

And various attacks rained down on me as I fell.

Insects that can sting poison do so.

I tried to bite an insect that could be bitten with my jaws, and I also felt a sting with my horns.

The attacks continued at a level that would have killed me if it weren’t for me.

I moved my blood-covered body in an instant and managed to stand up.

“It hurts so bad… !”

My vision was spinning.

It seemed like a lot of blood had been shed, and there seemed to be holes here and there.

And I don’t know if it was because of the poison or not, but my body felt strangely hot.

At least it was clear that it didn’t mean anything obscene.

I could feel the blood flowing from my forehead drying quickly due to the heat.

Really, I thought that I had transcended humanity.

I heard that when the fever rises like this, the brain degenerates.

So he said there was a problem with his head.

But I didn’t feel like I had a problem with my head right now.

“You have to fight while memorizing the multiplication table… One!”

A beetle that ran towards me without knowing what it was about exploded when I kicked it.

I threw the body away and pulled out my Cheonmachong.

A baton in one hand, a Cheonmachong in the other.

Since I took out two weapons like this, there was no need to worry about being overpowered by firepower.

In the first place, the more force I applied and swung without hesitation, the more strange it was that I was pushed away.

“It doesn’t matter how hard you fight, just tell them to come more!”

Moreover, the more I was cornered, the stronger I became.

So this wasn’t even at the level of being a crisis.

I could feel my physical condition getting worse, but it wasn’t at a truly dangerous level.

Rather, it could be said to be warming up, so it wasn’t that bad.

So I strengthened my resolve again and swung my weapon.
