Chapter 35 – Misjudgment

The vehicle that Jin-seong and Min-ah were driving passed through the wasteland.

The asphalt road was broken, and the debris of broken tanks was scattered everywhere.

Jin-seong muttered as he ran on the road in his worst condition.

“It’s about time for them to show up…….” “What?”

Kang Min-ah asked. Then Jin-seong replied back.

“Oh, it’s coming out now.”

A large cow was wandering among the debris ahead. Then it found Jin-seong’s vehicle running with a loud engine sound.

Growl!

And it looked like it was opening its mouth as if it were threatening Jin-seong.

Whoosh!

Its lower jaw split like a wasp and opened. Kang Min-ah shouted.

“Oh, my. What’s that?” “I guess he’s looking for something to eat”.

Jin-seong stepped on the accelerator and raised the engine RPM.

Dudududududung!

As the engine heated up, the vehicle began to rush to its maximum power.

The giant cow with its mouth open also didn’t know how to move. A monster cow with a height of 4m confronted the vehicle.

And it pushed his big horns toward the vehicle.

Twuu!

It collided with the vehicle running at a terrifying speed and bounced into the air.

Woooosh……!

The large cow, which flew about a dozen meters, fell on the ground and died.

And the glass of the vehicle was covered with black blood.

“Wow?!”

While Kang Min-ah admired the vehicle’s tremendous defense, Jin-seong calmly pushed the wiper button to wipe the blood off the windshield.

As the wiper made a sound and went back and forth a few times, the windshield became clean again.

Jin-seong said.

“Let’s stop by the rest area.” “Rest area…”

Then, he pointed to a building that appeared in front of him. In the front, there was a rest area building built like a pavilion of a castle gate. This is the only rest area on the Pyongyang-Gaeseong Expressway, where restaurants were once operated.

“Hmm… It looks a little creepy……?”

Kang Min-ah shrugged at the vacant rest area building.

“What are these tanks?”

And she asked, looking at the debris.

There were many destroyed tanks on the road.

“It was a tank division that ran away from the monsters.” “……Ah.” “And most of the time, they were wiped out by monsters coming from Bu-hae forest. It’s like a miracle that the rest area building is still here.” “How did you know about this?” “Well, I like reading books.”

Jin-seong had opened the codex of “Bu-hae forest” and had acquired all information related to the Bu-hae forest.

+ Name: Bu-hae forest. The Forest of the Dead. Description: The Bu-hae forest is an ultra-large mushroom farm rooted in the capital of a country once called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It appeared during World War I, when the monarch died in Pyongyang. High-grade monsters pour out, and high-grade items can be rewarded when attacking the dungeon. ……. ※ The mythical weapon lost by the first hero is hidden. Find the mythical weapon and purify it in the fountain of purification. +

One of the main reasons why Jin-seong went to the Bu-hae forest was to obtain the mythical weapon used by Yushin.

The “Tyrfing”

Currently, the mythical weapon was contaminated by the deep underground forest.

Min-ah smiled in vain at Jin-seong’s sly answer.

“Haha, good for you”.

Min-ah thought Jin-seong’s explanation was nonsense, but. She nodded, thinking that he wasn’t wrong.

And she said it bitterly.

“I always feel strange when I see things like this. Is it because I realize that the world is going to be destroyed?” “There will still be diesel at the gas station. Let’s stop by.”

Jin-seong drove the vehicle into the gas station.

Kung, Coogoong, Coojik……!

The vehicle’s sturdy steel guard pushed through the debris of the tanks.

After turning off the car, Jin-seong and Min-ah got out of the car.

“Ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg…”

Kang Min-ah stretched out, and Jin-seong opened the large trunk to take out a large hand pump and oil tank. At that time, Kang Min-ah shouted.

“I need to go to the bathroom!” “……Take your weapon.”

At Jin-seong’s words, Kang Min-ah walked away, swinging her weapon in the air.

Jin-seong went to one side of an abandoned gas station piled up with stones. Then he closed his eyes quietly.

[Activating the first slot “Queen of pentacles”]

While expanding his consciousness, attention was paid to the remaining diesel inside the oil tank under the pile of stones.

Then he could feel the volume of the liquid as well as the unpleasant smell of diesel.

“I’ll fill up about four bottles.”‘

Of course, Jin-seong had confirmed through his see-through ability that there was still diesel left at this rest area before departure.

Tuuung.

Jin-seong loosened his shoulders by placing an empty oil can on the floor.

“Hmm.”

Slip.

Jin-seong walked toward the center of the highway. He picked up the stones on the floor and looked around.

There was rusty debris of tanks that were good for humans to hide inside of.

Jin-seong especially looked up at the rest area building and the restaurant compartment on the second floor.

Next, he got into position.

He threw the stone with all his might. The stone flew into the window on the second floor at a terrifying speed.

Baaaang!

The sound of the window cracking burst out. A shout came from over the window.

Jin-seong calmly spoke.

“I can see your hair. You should hide it properly.”

The noisy restaurant floor soon became quiet.

Again, there was silence in the area. Jin-seong was looking back at the tank debris.

Woosh!

In a blink of an eye, arrows rushed out and aimed for Jin-seong.

Whoosh!

Altogether, arrows, knives, and spears were firing out. Of course, Jin-seong knew all their movements.

[Slot no.4 Oriharcon Long Sword]

For a moment, a golden blade was held in Jin-seong’s hand with a white glow.

Boom!

Jin-seong moved his center of gravity with his back foot, holding the handle tightly with both hands.

Boom!

He turned around.

Crack! Twoong!

Three soldiers were killed at once.

“Haha!” “He is crazy!”

Chasers who suddenly lost their weapons backed down.

“I can’t believe he avoided it……?!” “Sniper, what are you doing?”

They were taken aback. It was an attack by a chase team composed of class-A openers.

Jin-seong smiled and laughed.

“The sniper got hit by my stone.” “……!”

Jin-seong quietly said this time, looking at the chasers taking out auxiliary weapons.

“Did all the management department send you guys? I guess they’re in a real crisis.” “…….”

As if to respond to that, a man appeared from another broken tank.

A man with a large and strong chin and clear features walked behind Jin-seong and muttered.

“Oh no… I was going to take care of you before Kang Min Ah comes.… It almost feels like we’re caught in a trap?”

Sneak…

As if his words were a signal, the attackers hiding like shadows began to appear.

The director of the Management Bureau folded his arms asked Jin-seong.

“You must be Lee Jin-seong…… The youngest person appointed as a professor at the military academy.….”

He smiled in vain at Jin-seong.

“I was wondering how weak the military academy had become when I heard that a 17-year-old kid was appointed as a professor…… But I guess you’re not as weak as I thought.” “I don’t think you followed me all the way here to compliment me”.

The man’s expression turned bitter.

“……That’s right. It’s too far away to come to compliment. And the beasts along the way were extremely annoying.….”

Jin-seong laughed at the Jang Kwang-seol.

“Director of the Management Bureau, Cho Yong-ho.” “Do you know who I am?” “I know… And I know the fact that you came all the way here because you were pressured by your superiors.”

At that, some of the chasers, including the director of the management bureau, were shaken.

“…What are you talking about?”

The director of the management bureau was embarrassed. “Superiors” refer to the most powerful people in your association.”

Jin-seong said without hesitation.

“If you’re the director of the management bureau, you must be more pressured by them.”

At that moment, the director lost his composure.

“Are you saying there’s a living-dead person among us?”

Whether or not, Jin-seong looked back at the management bureau’s chasers that popped out of the tanks.

There was a half-and-half mixture of the living-dead and the non-living-dead.

At that moment, Jin-seong did not miss a sense of incompatibility between them.

Some did not understand why the word “living-dead” came out.

‘This kind of scandal is enough to provoke them.’

After today, they will worry about their team members who are a part of the living-dead.

Then, it is a full-fledged start now.

“Cho Yong-ho, why don’t you stop acting like you know nothing?” “Hey…!”

The excessively upset director of the management bureau pointed and shouted.

“Hey! It’s you who’s helping the living-dead! According to Paragraph 3 of the Special Act on the Management of Professors, Lee Jin-seong, who is helping the living-dead professor escape, should be killed here! Kill him now!”

It was then.

Ring! [You’ve reached a major turning point, “meeting with the management team”] [If you don’t kill the innocent openers, you can achieve a “quiet scandal”!]

Jin-seong smiled at the simple notification.

“……Then, I’ll leave only the innocent ones alive.”

---

The broadcasting station director’s office.

“Do you know who killed CEO Lee?”

Park Moo-hae, who made a mean face, looked at the young man sitting opposite him and said.

“You’re name is Kang Young-kwon?” “That’s right!”

Currently, in the director’s office, cadets and Kang Young-kwon, who Jin-seong had saved, visited Park Moo-hae for an interview.

Park Moo-hae looked at his secretary quietly. Then the secretary soon explained about Kang Young-kwon.

“This is a cadet used by the chairman as a source of offerings. Also, he’s the only one who survived the last midnight banquet.”

Park Moo-hae frowned at the words.

“So he’s not a living-dead yet?” “They said he was ready to become a living-dead at the midnight banquet. But he managed to escape before the attack.”

Park Moo-hae heard that and looked at Kang Young-kwon. Kang Young-kwon sat down and was crouching his shoulders as if he was anxious.

“Hmm… You.” “Yes, yes!” “Show us the seal of the slave. If you were on the verge of being a living-dead, you would have been given the seal of a slave.”

At that, Kang Young-kwon jumped up from his seat and stood in front of Park Moo-hae. And he showed Park Moo-hae the ring engraved with Malek’s face on his hand.

“Hmm…”

Park Moo-hae nodded after looking into Malek’s ring.

‘…It’s for sure. He has the slave ring.’

Park Moo-hae leaned on his chair with a deep breath.

However, he did not yet firmly believe in Kang Young-kwon.

‘If he talks about something different from what I saw in my predictions, I will kill him right away.’

Suspicious Park Moo-hae had his own information to cross-verify.

“Okay. Tell me.”

In other words, if Kang Young-kwon tries to deceive Park Moo-hae with the wrong information here, Kang Young-kwon will die.

It was the moment Kang Young-kwon was about to open his mouth.

“Wait a minute. “What?”

Kang Young-kwon was surprised. Park Moo-hae changed his mind and said again.

“No, I’ll ask the questions. The monster you mentioned. What weapon did he use? “The weapon…” “The weapon he used to kill Kim Oh-sung.”

Park Moo-hae had seen the man wielding a large golden sword in his future prediction.

“……I understand that it was a weapon used by the Dwarfs, called the Butcher Sword.” “… Butcher sword?” “Yes, it’s huge, and I’ve seen him cut off the arm of a giant easily.…!” “Hmm…”

When Kang Young-kwon explained it as if he had seen it in front of his eyes, Park Moo-hae fixed his seat and asked.

“Good… What’s his outfit?” “I think he was wearing a black coat.… I saw it at first glance while running away, so it’s not accurate.….”

Kang Young-kwon not only spoke of the appearance he saw, but also the information about the golden sword.

Park Moo-hae thought Kang Young-kwon was not lying.

“Good. Yeah, tell me everything you know.” “Yes, first of all, his name is…….”

Kang Young-kwon briefly looked at the surroundings and quietly recited his name.

“He’s a man named Muhyuk.”

Park Moo-hae’s eyes grew bigger due to the unexpected name.

“No way… The Muhyuk I know?” “Yes… He was a contractor recognized by the industry, and he rebelled.”

At that moment, Park Moo-hae looked like he was astonished.

“He was a special A-class hound. How come……?”

He remembered that Muhyuk was such a loyal hound that he would die if his owner told him to die.

It was that moment.

Park Moo-hae’s eyes were blurred.

“What about this?”

Park Moo-hae saw another future prediction. A slaughter scene came to mind.

There was a man standing in the scene. A man wielding a golden sword in a black coat.

The man took advantage of the absence of giants at the broadcasting station and slaughtered all the living-dead.

Subsequently, the face of the man wielding the sword was clearly visible.

“Is this real?”

It really was Muhyuk.

Park Moo-hae saw his terrible. He stared at Kang Young-kwon.

“Tell me more!” “Yes, yes! He killed the giant that was guarding the chairman Kim Oh-sung like tofu.…!”

Park Moo-hae was shaken by his explanation. Park Moo-hae also saw a man carrying a sword slaughtering Malek’s giants in his future prediction.

“Did Muhyuk really have that much strength?”

It was strange, but Park Moo-hae had no choice but to believe him because his predictions were never wrong.

“Well…” “On top of that, he was so strong that even his eyebrows did not burn against Malek’s flame used by Kim Oh-sung.…!” “He was fine even when attacked by Hell’s fire……?”

Hell’s fire was so powerful that it could kill many high-grade rankers. But not only did he kill the giants, but he is also a monster that holds out the Hell’s fire.

“…Oh, my….”

Park Moo-hae felt hopeless.

“If all of this is true, it’s not safe here.…!’

All the giants were sent to kill Kang Min-ah. If the monster came to catch him, he would die.

Although in his prediction, he saw a scene where only the living-dead were slaughtered.

Park Moo-hae could not beat the monster alone.

“If he can slaughter the giants of Malek…… Two giants owned by the demon of greed is not enough.…!’

So Park Moo-hae had to make a decision again.

The broadcasting station he’s currently staying at. He had to decide whether to leave the fortified building or not.

Although he didn’t see himself die, his predictions were so unstable that he had always decided what to do in the future by referring to his convenience.

‘What could be the reason for the monstrous envoy to invade the watchman’s residence? Is there another reason that he is coming to kill me, the priest?’

Recalling the scenes from his prediction, Park Moo-hae continued to think.

‘In addition, even if I call in the giants, that would make no difference.…! If I can’t hold of Kang Min-ah, I’ll only be waiting for a shitty death!’

Park Moo-hae, who thought so far, finally made a decision.

There was only one thing Park Moo-hae, who had lost all support, could rely on.

‘Giants… I have to join the giants! At least I’m safer with them!’

As a result, He abandoned his residence and joined the giants. Now, he had to catch Kang Min-ah as soon as possible.

He abandoned the residence of the watchman, which would soon be destroyed. He hurried up and moved north.

Park Moo-hae, who made such a misjudgment, quietly said.

“Secretary Kim.” “Yes.” “……We go north.” “Okay.”

Park Moo-hae abandoned his safe residence and started to move closer to Lee Jin-seong.
