Episode 681:
What happens to a person who falls from a horse because he/she is out of breath?
It may vary depending on the situation, but usually the injury is serious.
In severe cases, you may even die.
Of course, the NPCs here are not ordinary people, so they won’t die if they fall off their horses.
“Cough! Hehehe!”
The furry dog, which had been rolling several meters due to inertia, vomited blood and complained of pain.
I clutched my chest and blood appeared in my neck.
“What did you do?”
The guy who was glaring at Teijun with wide eyes falls down.
I didn’t hear what was said properly.
Because we are already quite far away from him.
‘Even if you were next to me, you wouldn’t have heard it.’
Couldn’t something that doesn’t move mean that it’s dead?
The guys who were chasing us were also confused by the sudden situation.
“First of all, let’s take care of the captain!”
“older brother! “Come to your senses!”
Soon he turned the reins.
I guess taking care of the captain comes first rather than catching us.
“Whew. “Angry guys.”
“It’s pretty good.”
“I have some skills. what?”
The guy who was filling the empty cylinder with bullets with a natural touch asked back.
An expression as if something he had been hiding was discovered.
It’s not that I can’t understand.
They may not feel comfortable having their abilities revealed.
“It was your ability that caught him, right?”
“It looks like you have a search-type ability. Yes I did it. what.”
“Good job.”
Who says what?
The guy put out his lips as if he was dissatisfied, but didn’t say anything else.
“I’m going to the nearest place. “Safe Zone 4.”
“How many safe zones are there?”
“Five. To be precise, you have to take one out.”
If it is a safe zone, why are you excluding one safe zone?
“They’re like warlords over there. Outsiders cannot enter at all. “Maybe it’s a dependent village.”
This meant that it had a completely closed structure.
To put it simply:
‘It is impossible to enter unless you are a soldier.’
It was said that the production of food and other goods would be done in an outside village.
Common sense makes no sense.
Because it is better to keep important industrial facilities and such inside.
Looking at the 96th floor, there are a lot of monsters and outlaws.
However, if the village collapses, the safe area will also collapse.
“Because the military guards that place. No sane person would touch it. I told you. “If you really want to interact, there’s no need to go to the safe zone.”
“There’s someone I need to meet there.”
“Then why don’t you just tell that person to come out? “It would be better that way.”
It’s not wrong.
If the goal was simply to join Nyangfun, that might have been the case.
but.
‘I need a safe space.’
Checking equipment before going to the 97th floor?
It may not be perfect, but it can be done on its own.
The store window isn’t blocked and I can make potions and other items myself.
What you want is this.
I looked at the items I had put in my inventory.
An item given by Ophelia.
He told me to check once I entered the safe zone.
There is a high probability that it contains the information needed to move up.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess I should meet Ophelia too.’
It was announced that there was a cult among the top hunters.
She might have some income.
It would be nice to meet the Fairy Club and Rookie Group members and share information.
We’re already on the 96th floor.
There are only 4 floors left until the 100th floor.
The fact that such a neutral zone exists in between.
‘It’s much more difficult than the 90th floor I’ve experienced so far.’
Final resting place.
Because that is the meaning of the 96th floor.
You should meet someone who knows the above information.
It’s better if you can get help.
One way or another, there is a need for everyone to gather in one place.
‘It won’t come out.’
There is no reason to come out.
Wouldn’t it be unfair if I came this far and died just wandering around for no reason?
A safe space has great value in itself.
“There are so many reasons to go inside.”
“okay. what. “Do it yourself.”
“You seem to be negative about your comfort zone.”
I’ve felt it before, but this guy has no intention of going into the safe zone.
Rather, it seems like he dislikes it.
“…It doesn’t suit me.”
“okay.”
There was no need to ask further.
It seemed like a problem related to personal circumstances.
The guy takes out a compass.
“There are two ways to get to the fourth safe zone. “Drilling in a straight line and taking a detour.”
“What is the difference?”
“If you go in a straight line, 3 days. 14 days to go back.”
A time difference of nearly 5 times.
That means there is a risk when running in a straight line.
The worry was short-lived.
“In a straight line.”
“Don’t regret it. “If it’s dangerous, I’ll leave it behind.”
-Pababababak!
The lizard’s speed increased.
* * *
Teijun is strong.
At the same time, there were clear weaknesses.
-Taang!
-Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The guy who has used up all his bullets reloads.
The gap that arises in the process.
It was a short moment, but that amount of time in battle is dangerous enough.
Especially when dealing with a large number of people.
“It’s over there!”
“I’ll chew you alive, you damn bastard!”
The path to the nearest safe zone.
I understand why they told me the detour route.
The road is rough and it is also rough.
Monsters also appear from time to time.
“How dare you invade our territory!”
Gangs exist.
You have to go through their territory.
They had their own village, and their main occupation was plundering.
“This is why I didn’t want to come here!”
“Try to pace yourself when you’re talking.”
“Is this the top speed? “Can’t you see that Bongbong is having a hard time?”
“Hehe hehe.”
As the guy said, Bongbong.
So the lizard he was riding was running hard.
Even if I wanted to increase the speed, I couldn’t.
The good news is that the things the gang is riding are not that fast.
What is that.
‘ostrich?’
It looks roughly similar to that.
Although it looks much bigger and more dangerous.
The instantaneous speed is ridiculous, but the stamina is low.
In the beginning, he ran wild and spread the distance, so now he can’t keep up.
There were harsh curses and nervously fired arrows and bolts, but they were not effective hits.
“Mr. Ha. “I think it gave me 10 years of life.”
The guy went to a place with a lot of short trees and lay down on the ground.
The lizard seems to be thirsty, so it sticks its nose into a small puddle and drinks water.
“Are you saying there are more guys like this?”
“There will be about two more in the future. “Maybe not.”
After wiping off his sweat with a handkerchief, he took out his notebook and looked at it.
“This path takes only three years, so the power may have changed in the meantime.”
The story was that there were a lot of wanderers and outlaws, so there was a lot of competition for power.
Even the guys here aren’t weak.
Once it sticks properly, the other side will be annihilated.
“There are approximately 20 to 40 people in each gang.”
“There are some large gangs, but that’s usually the case. “As you get bigger, you need more things.”
It goes without saying that the more people there are, the safer it becomes.
They just can’t maintain it because they don’t have proper infrastructure.
There were at most 30 people who were chasing us just now.
Once we left their territory, there was no further pursuit.
This is already the fourth gang that has passed this way.
Among them, there was an organization that Teijun did not know about.
I sat next to the lying guy and quietly looked up at the sky.
That’s what I’ve been feeling for the past few days.
“There are a lot of NPCs here.”
There are a lot of NPCs.
And that goes beyond common sense.
As you climb the floor, you pass a place filled with numerous NPCs.
Not to mention the safe zone, the field was the same after moving up to the upper level.
Something changed with him.
‘It’s safe to say that it’s one world from the top.’
The NPCs here were living with their own world view.
Whatever its form.
It did not exist as a mission prepared simply for climbers.
That tendency becomes stronger the higher you go.
Even so.
‘There are too many.’
There are at most 5 safe zones.
From what I heard, you can get permanent residency there.
‘500 people in each safe zone.’
Although there are variations, this is on average.
In total, I think there are about 2,500 people.
There are other people who go in and out of the safe zone or work there.
They leave the safety zone as if they were leaving work after the allowed time has passed.
The number of 500 people may seem large at first glance, but how about thinking of it as one organization?
‘Because there are usually 2,300 students in a high school.’
It is roughly equivalent to two high schools combined.
All the infrastructure is concentrated there?
“It means fighting openly.”
Still, a safe zone is a safe zone.
The three people who met before are about to enter the safe zone.
In that way, they chose to attack someone with a green card when he came out.
In any case, all you have to do is get a green card.
That’s it though.
“How many NPCs die every day?”
“It’s everyday life here.”
NPCs are high-quality personnel in their own way.
Because only climbers who have achieved a certain level of achievement are eligible to become NPCs.
The system knows this too, so it tries to get NPCs it can manipulate using devices like the Altar of Blood.
in other words.
‘Isn’t it a waste to run NPCs like this?’
What does this mean?
weird.
No matter how much you think about it, it’s strange.
There is something.
That was all I could think of.
One of the reasons why I thought this way.
[Mean Meow Punch]: The atmosphere here is a bit suspicious
[Mean Meow Punch]: I did some research and came here ㅇㅇ
Meow Punch’s message.
Not much has been said since I spoke yesterday.
Could it be that I am involved in something strange?
Of course, it’s not like I’m going to get into trouble because it’s a cat game, but you never know what’s going on in the world.
“Let’s go after we’ve all rested. “It’s dangerous to stay in one place for a long time.”
“There is no place that is not dangerous.”
“Do you think it’s any different from a safe zone?”
“what?”
Words full of bones.
“You might be different. “Because you’re a great climber.”
I knew he didn’t treat me kindly, but now it’s a bit too much.
It was more of a sarcasm than a complaint.
“Are you dissatisfied with me?”
“doesn’t exist. “We won’t be seeing each other for a few days anyway.”
There is no need to scratch and make crumbs.
It’s enough to just say that he has a twisted personality.
That’s enough, though.
‘It’s a bit of a problem.’
I’ve felt it before.
This guy knows the safe zone very well.
It’s not something you simply picked up from somewhere.
Information on each safe zone and the number of permanent residents it consists of.
Those belonging to warlords, villages subordinated to safe zones, etc.
There is distrust and anger towards the safe zone.
I don’t know exactly what the target is.
‘It looks like you’re from a safe zone?’
That’s what I thought.
“let’s go. “It really won’t take long now.”
After resting, we set off again.
There was no conversation.
There was only an awkward atmosphere, and whether we were lucky or not, we didn’t encounter any gangsters.
That’s right too.
“Wow. smell.”
“You already had a blast.”
The gang that should be on our way has already been defeated.
I wasn’t attacked by a monster.
Judging from the traces left behind, other people had attacked.
The results were disastrous.
It wasn’t even resolved properly.
Instead, they hung their necks on a pole and set them up as a warning.
don’t come here
Those who come die.
Between the tall poles, flags were fluttering in the wind.
“…Peace Land. “It’s the flag of the Third Safe Zone.”
It’s a place that doesn’t really live up to its name.
Just as I was thinking about something trivial.
“hmm?”
I noticed a change in him.
The guy whose complexion has noticeably darkened is shaking his hands.
I’m not great at empathy, but I definitely understand what he’s feeling right now.
fear.
‘And anger.’
wait for a sec.
But this guy.
“Weren’t we headed to the fourth safe zone?”
It was clearly going to the fourth safety zone, not the third safety zone.
But why is it there?
If you think about it, the two safe zones would be far away from each other.
Why put a flag in someone else’s front yard?
“no way.”
“You have to avoid blood. They advanced. “He finally went crazy and came out!”
Before I could say anything, he grabbed my arm.
I, too, tried to leave without saying another word due to the sense of urgency in his hand.
“discovery! you’re right!”
“I couldn’t believe it, but I never thought it was real.”
A group of people appeared.
It’s not just one or two people.
It’s different from any gang I’ve encountered so far.
They were troops wearing proper equipment.
There were more than 20 people who could be seen, and if you include those who were widely spread out behind them.
‘At least 50 people.’
It is by no means a small number.
This isn’t even their base.
I quickly looked at their clothes.
Although there was no unity, there was one thing in common.
A cloth worn like a scarf.
The pattern drawn there.
‘Peace Land.’
It was a symbol of the safe zone forces that swept away this place.
A completely surrounded situation.
“Hey. “It’s been a while, master?”
The soldiers split to both sides and a man walked over.
A guy with a feather decoration on his helmet like an officer.
Wherever he was playing, he was getting his nails done.
“Did you enjoy playing outside? “I think you’ve enjoyed it enough.”
Phew.
The guy who bit his nails jabs.
“Please stop going in. “Wouldn’t your father want to see it too?”
The corners of his mouth rise.
derision. Or provocation.
In response to his provocation, the soldiers take a step forward.
“The traitor is using his mouth carelessly.”
Teijun, with his face crumpled, pulls out a gun.
The officer, perhaps aware of the man’s abilities, hides behind the soldiers.
“Take the master.”
“yes!”
The soldiers narrow the siege.
“ha.”
I sighed softly.
With this, it is an established fact that Teijun is from a safe zone.
I feel like I got caught up in something unintentionally.
In terms of atmosphere, it is far from friendly.
“hey.”
“what.”
“If I help you, will you help me too?”
I made a deal.
Teijun, who was quickly looking around, nodded.
then.
“Stay inside for a moment.”
Because it’s a problem.
“uh? Yaaaaa!”

I ignored the guy who quickly fell into the ground and covered the ground.
Still, you can hold your breath for about 10 minutes, right?
Since I’m a superhuman, I don’t know if 20 minutes will be enough.
anyway.
“Hurry up quickly. He’ll suffocate.”
I pointed my finger at them.
