Episode 456
“Lake East! A ship sank on Lake Dongting!”
“Help me too! People are drowning!”
Dang Dae-Ang!
Along with a scream-like cry from far away, a sharp alarm bell rang out from beyond the darkness.
But, a step ahead of that
,
there
was a sound that pierced my ears
. A cool ominous feeling runs down my spine. I looked at the translucent system window that appeared in front of me. – A
sudden
quest has been created!
– You cannot refuse the quest
. ) is one of the most famous scenic spots in the world.
Poets and calligraphers climb Ikyangnu Pavilion to enjoy the beautiful scenery and recite the wind, and those with power and wealth float large and splendid pleasure boats to enjoy several days and nights. But today is clear and
blue The lake is full of wreckage and corpses of wrecked ships, and if someone doesn’t
step in, those still
alive
will meet the same
fate
! ?
Failure: Death of people
* Quest has been compulsorily
accepted
!
Time: 45 minutes 36 seconds]
Damn it. Not even an hour
. I don’t even have time to think about how such a disaster could have happened. One person’s life may depend on it every minute or even every
second .
Run. Save people first.” There was no
answer
. Using the cries and alarm bells resounding from far away, where there were only hardened faces and faster speeds, we ran and ran again and again. And the front digit of the time limit changed from 4 to 2
. We were finally able to see the
fire, Kwaaaaa!
Dozens of ships, large and small, engulfed in flames burning on the wide river, and numerous cries resounding from all directions
.
“There is not enough boaters!”
“More! Bring more people! Even though it has reached this point, where are the military ships and what are they doing!”
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
Step by step, as we get closer, the scene in front of us becomes clearer at a glance: about a
hundred people running nonstop on the riverside of Dongdong Lake, and several small boats moving slowly
.
It may be a desperate effort for them, but it is far less than the number of lives to be saved.
Even I, who has a martial art that is comparable to being called a superman, was breathless the moment I saw the scene.
‘How should I save it?’
I had heard and knew that Dongdong Lake was large, but when I checked it with my own eyes, the area far exceeded my expectations
. It must have been playing around.
This is only what can be seen right now, how many boats and people are submerged in the invisible place
.
Biting my lips, I increased my speed even more.
The people who noticed us running like the wind grew louder.
Among them, one of the military officers who seemed to belong to the government department urgently shouted,
“Are you a Mu-murim? Please, please. Help me??…
“No need to talk long. Let’s borrow a boat.”
，，
Yes
?
There was no doubt or hesitation in the movements of the two of them.
The gunggibang and hyukmujin, which were fired as they passed by me, scattered tension and swords with a
vigorous
spirit .
In an instant
, the two boats being moved turned into hundreds of pieces of wood
.
Cries of astonishment followed from everywhere:
“I am a ferry…!”
“Those guys are the beasts that caused this sadal! It must be preventing you from saving people!”
Shock and anger are contagious quickly. All kinds of swear words and murderous glances pouring from all sides. But I didn’t mind.
No, it was right to say that there was no time to care.
[Time limit: 28 minutes 52 choi
The remaining time is only about 30 minutes.
Explaining the reason for the current behavior only increases the number of victims.
And fortunately, there were three Moorim people who understood my intentions and were able to put them into action.
“Cheongpung Gunggibang!”
“I get it!”
“Your benefactor!”
Realizing the meaning of my cry, Gungibang and Cheongpung picked up the fragments of the ferry. Then, it was vigorously scattered toward Dongjeong Lake, which was immersed in darkness.
Shish shish shush
dozens of pieces of trees flying through the darkness fall all over East Lake.
“That’s right!”
“I can’t believe this…
Now that some people have realized my intentions, their eyes wide open, but that number isn’t enough.
Perhaps it will sink before our feet touch it.
If that’s the case…
‘I have no choice but to make the road myself.’ At the same time as making a quick decision, I stomped my foot vigorously.
cooong!
As the sand and dust piled
up along the river rose at once, the unprepared people coughed.
Just when everyone’s view was blocked, I reached out my hand.
And with the touch of damp and hard wood, I shouted a command that only I could use.
‘Inventory storage.’
belt ring. belt ring. belt ring.
– [Fragments of the Ferry] have been stored in the inventory!
– [Shards of the ferry are in the inventory….
Pieces of wood disappear as if they are melting into the air with an ear-piercing notification.
With only the right amount left to avoid people’s suspicions, I shouted out loudly.
“Cheongpung and Gunggibang are with me, and Hyukmujin remains to gather ships and people!”
“Cho John Ming!”
When Hyukmu-jin, who had been out of breath from earlier, squeezed out a cry, me, Cheongpung, and Hyungyeong of the gunggibang were already shooting toward the dark Dong Dong-ho.
Shoot Aaaaaa!
The hot heat rising from the lower abdomen descends toward the legs.
Strong gong power resided in a body with perfect muscles and elasticity enough to be mistaken for a heavenly martial body.
just now!’
Kwak!
A huge shock wave burst out from the tip of his toe, pushing the ground and pushing away the turbulent river water. The sand and pebbles were turned into powder and scattered, and a cool breeze brushed through the whole body.
It seemed that if I stretched out my hand, I would be able to grab the stars in the night sky.
But that’s only for a moment.
After a leap there is a fall.
-yo Q-9 I ~1 II 0 .
The violently turbulent black river quickly approaches.
And the eye of a wild animal was not lacking in finding the half-submerged piece of wood.
The tuk-to-ung landing was light, and the
second leap
that followed was heavy.
Cheongpung Gunggibang and I sprinted again.
Using the fragments of the ferry that had been scattered in advance as a stepping stone, once, twice, three times… It was only
after repeating the same action several times that the ship, which seemed distant, finally became close enough to be clearly identified with the naked eye.
However, with the narrowing of the distance, the ominousness in the heart was also growing.
‘The vitality???… I can’t feel it.’
I couldn’t feel the screams or movements of
the survivors, who should have been there if they were alive.
And it didn’t take long for the ominous feeling I felt to appear in reality.
tadak.
On a ship where most of the hull is already submerged.
The gunggibang and the blue wind muttered like a moan.
“This.”
“…a benefactor.”
The voices of the two
can be heard faintly, as if coming from outside hundreds of pages.
In that suffocating silence, I blankly looked around.
Wherever my gaze lands, countless corpses floating on the river and wreckage of wrecked ships pass by.
dead. everyone is dead
A pot-bellied man who looks like a merchant wearing fancy silk. A skinny, shabby-looking sailor. Even musicians and gisaengs who seem to have been called in to cheer them up.
Even if you estimate the number you can see right away, it is in the hundreds.
On this black river, there is no red-hot wind music or people’s laughter.
What remains is destruction and death. And it’s just the horror that is clearly engraved on the faces of the dead.
‘How could this happen?’
For a moment, it seemed that my mind had gone blank.
As if possessed, I stomped on the debris and slithered across the river. [Sense] was used generously to find even one survivor.
But…
Beep.
– [Feeling] failed.
– Could not detect the energy of the desired target within range.
The system is colder than ever.
A translucent hologram window and an intrusive failure notification sound informed that there were no survivors around.
“…What the hell is this?”
At that time, when I was thinking about it with a terrible feeling, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning.
‘Wait system?’
I hurriedly raised my head and looked into the air.
The translucent hologram window that still hasn’t disappeared caught my gaze.
[Time limit: 9 minutes, 43 minutes.
It feels like I was hit hard on the back of the head with something.
If there were really no survivors,
a notification that the quest was canceled or failed should have appeared. Because the system is faster and more intuitive than anything else.
However, the quest was still in progress, and the system window notifying the time limit did not disappear either.
This means only one thing.
The gunggibang spoke to me in a cautious voice as I was momentarily frozen.
“Unfortunately, it seems pointless to look for any more survivors…
“There are survivors.”
“what?”
“It’s just invisible. There must be survivors somewhere farther away than here.”
The gunggibang, who was about to say something, hardened his face at my confident expression. Cheongpung also opened his mouth in a serious voice different from usual.
“If the words of the benefactor are correct…”
“We must find and save them. By all means.”
The gunsmith, who was looking at me blankly, nodded.
“I must disperse. It might be more possible to get a half-hour if you use the sunken ships around you.”
“It’s a bit ahead. Both of you search as far into it as you can? Come back if you don’t find survivors.”
What the time limit means is the time remaining for the survivors. Any further search is meaningless. The
two of them expressed their doubts at my strangely determined tone, but I agreed without saying anything.
“Let’s do it.”
“Part. I’ll keep in mind, benefactor
.” see you later.” After I finished
talking
, I kicked off the bow and leaped.
Looking at the time limit that was getting shorter by the minute, I ran and ran through the vast ocean-like Dongting Lake, raising all my energy and senses to the highest level.
[Time limit: 1 minute 12 seconds.]
‘Am I late?’ And the moment I was about to give up everything.
“Save me…”
A very small and faint voice reached my ears.
