Chapter 17 (1/2)
Chapter 17 Bloodshed (Part 1)
Now that the fight is over, the s everywhere The heaps of red ape carcasses that was now laying around was oddly unreal
In the first exaing to strangle its neck with a vine, I was in a shocked daze for a while
But today, 11 of them died at my hands It was much easier than it was in the first exam
‘I’? Do I look like that kind of person to you?’
‘Yes, you do look like that kind of person”’
In the end, the baby angel was right I’ that and ly are not
“Oo-eck!” (Puking noise)
Lee Hye-su was gagging Seeing her face smeared in tears, the sympathy floods over
“Are you okay?”
“Yes… I’m sorry…”
She could barely hold in her crying to reply
“Why wouldn’t she be okay? All she did was stand around in the back and spectate”
The openly sarcastic Park Go-chan Perhaps those words were hurtful enough because Lee Hye-su’s crying gets louder
‘You didn’t really have a big part either, okay ajusshi+?’
Park Go-chan’s clear intentions make me hate him more
Not just because he’s a dick, but he continues to smother Lee Hye-su this way and suffocate her
I will protect you but in turn, give me your body; to justify a kind of deal like that
‘This is big In order to overcoe and actively fight’
Lee Hye-su was ht, which worries me
If she continues to be a burden this way, a place for her in the teaazes from the other tearow colder and eventually it may become just the situation that Park Go-chan wants
“Hyung, do you think this was it?”
“No way” I shook iven us the mission to survive for a week”
“Anyway, it was like you said, the eneht turned out to be the red apes”
“It’s a good thing at least that it wasn’t an enemy we didn’t know But…” I look around at the corpses strewn before the cave and sigh “We cannot stay here anymore”
“Can’t we just stay here? We can fight like we did today and endure for a week”
Perhaps I am of the uess I should ask for everyone’s opinion
I ask them all
“I think we should leave before more of the bastards come, but what do you all think?”
“This place is safe”
Kang Chun-seong disagrees It’s an i forth an opinion
“If we fight in the forest, I can’t guarantee anything”
That is true This cave here has an expansive space in front of it and ht But the forest is different
There are too s the bastards can hide behind and it’s not only left, right, front, back but they may attack from above from the trees Such a 3-dimensional attack is much more beneficial to the bastards, who have numbers on their side
“But staying in this place is just as dangerous”
“And why is that?”
“First, I will point out the red apes’ intelligence They not only set up an ahtfall to strike They also have the decision o after the fire first”
My explanation continues
“In that case, instead of coht they not surround the place and attack us e go out to gather water or food?”
“… Indeed”
Kang Chun-seong agrees
At my opinion, everyone’s faces freeze in seriousness It’s not a tiht
“But the fortunate aspect of this is that we killed thele one We have soain, so how about in that time we look for another base?”
“Okay”
“Me too, hyung”
“Me too…”
Kang Chun-seong, Jun-ho, Lee Hye-su all vote yes and lastly, Park Go-chan nods his head too
And so, we decide to leave the cave but before departing, I take off the three sets of underwear and socks, one by one
I wrap them around the ends of the sticks we collected for firewood and put it in the fire
Hwa leo leok – (swoosh)
‘Oh ho ho, it works’
I look at ht and am proud of myself
“Hyung, is this why your underwear and socks…”
“I wore three pairs”
Can you not treatcommando?
“Wow, hyung, your preparedness is really incredible I hadn’t thought that far at all”
The day was still dark, so I hold up ht and lead the way
“Sylph, can you find out if there is another cave nearby?”
-Meow
Sylph flits away In a short while after searching the entirety of a 11 km diameter, Sylph shakes her head Of course, caves probably aren’t that common here
Thankfully, the red apes are not within this perimeter
“For noill have to walk Earlier, the bastards tried to flee in that direction so ill go in the direction opposite that”
As I led the way, the group blindly follows Perhaps it is due to11 of the apes that even Park Go-chan isn’t hostile and has become compliant
Soroup I didn’t want to be in this position, but the situation strangely becainally disinterested and Park Go-chan’s inhospitable attitude naturally left the leadershi+p role to me
As we continued to walk, the sun began to rise As the day grew brighter, I threay the torchlight and continued to walk
I did not forget to summon Sylph every 5 minutes and scout the area for 60 seconds
According to Sylph’s reconnaissance, there are plenty of herbivores like rabbits, deer, and monkeys within this forest
“It seems there are a considerable number of the red apes here”
“Have they appeared?”
At Park Go-chan’s question, I shake my head
“We have been going through the forest since yesterday and we have only discovered herbivores Compared to how plentiful the prey is here and aside from snakes and owls, the only predators that remain are the red apes”
“This forest is their area”
Kang Chun-seong speaks up
I nod my head
“If indeed they use this space as their area, they will be a considerable group”
And there will definitely be a head to command them all
