I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 72

“Now this shelter is dangerous.”

Jung-woo slightly frowned at Jung-min’s words.

“I don’t know what you mean by dangerous.”

“A group of marauders are targeting this shelter.”

“This shelter isn’t dangerous just because a band of marauders are after them. They won’t even get through the entrance to our [Sungjin’s] shelter.”

“Of course. If you come in from the front.”

I told Joong-woo, who looked at me as if he was talking about something, about what had happened at Sungshin Station.

[Sungjin] Hearing the story about the shelter’s secret entrance, Jungwoo’s face turned white.

“Uh, how…”

“According to the story of the plunderer, the Awoken who were expelled from [Sungjin] became their companions and gave them the information.”

“… Jangsuho!!!”

Jung-min asked after hearing the name Joong-woo sighed as if he finally understood.

“That Jang… Suho must have been kicked out of this place, right?”

At Jung-min’s question, Joong-woo bit his lip and said.

“Rather than being kicked out, he escaped from here. [Sungjin] He was in an important position in charge of the Shelter’s supplies. He used his position to threaten non-Awakened people in the Shelter, and made them slaves. Besides, he was caught tampering with communal goods, and he was locked up in a confinement facility in the shelter, but he escaped. Yes, he knew about the emergency exit. I didn’t care… I never thought I’d mobilize looters.”

Looking at Joong-woo with a sad expression, Jung-min said.

“The entrance is now being targeted by marauders. We must stop them-“

kwaaang

A loud explosion was heard, and shaking was felt even in the shelter manager’s room where Jeongmin and Leah were sitting.

Jung-min, sensing that something he was concerned about, told Joong-woo.

“It’s already too late.”

Joong-woo bit his lip with a hard expression, and explosions and screams began to be heard outside.

With a crackling sound, a man burst into the shelter manager’s room as he opened the door roughly.

“Chief Shelter! It’s an enemy attack! You have to avoid it!”

Opening the door of the shelter manager’s room and looking at the man who came in, Joong-woo muttered in surprise.

“Everyone, who are you-“

Before he could even finish talking, the man had already reached out to Jung Woo.

turuk

When Jung-min grabbed the hand that was reaching out to Jung-woo, the man swung the other hand holding a short dagger at Jeong-min.

Jeong-min even grabbed the blade of the dagger that was stabbing him, and gave strength to the hand that was holding the man’s arm.

Crude

“aaagh!”

With the sound of bones breaking, the man fell to his knees screaming.

Jeong-Min kicked the other away, and the man flew back out through the door he came in.

The man, who fell outside with a crackling sound, struggled to get himself up and staggered away.

Seeing this, Jeongmin said with a surprised expression.

“I kicked it with the thought of at least knocking it out… It’s quite strong.”

“The stats must be quite high since only the elites came from the looters.”

After hearing Leah’s words, Jung-min nodded and spoke.

“Looking at how quickly they came here as soon as they entered, it seems that they will target Shelter Leader first. It’s probably the fastest and easiest way for a small number of people to occupy the Shelter. I’ll try to go outside.”

Leah nodded, and Joong-woo spoke as if embarrassed.

“If you target me first, shouldn’t Jeong-min protect this place?”

Jung-min looked at Joong-woo, who spoke to him as if begging him, and told him not to worry.

“You don’t have to worry. Leah-san is a much stronger person than me.”

Jung-min finished talking and ran outside.

Outside, it was already a mess.

People running around. The marauders chasing and massacring them.

A few Awakeners from the [Sungjin] side, who woke up late and jumped out, rushed at the looters, but were knocked down without even competing.

The long-haired predator who cut down [Sungjin]’s Awakener shouted.

“We have to catch the shelter chief! Just catch him and you’re done!”

After the man finished speaking, the looters rushed in the direction where Jung-min was standing.

Jung-min used ’emotional eyes’ to scan the enemy’s stats.

‘He’s on a different level from the guys who were in the role of Sungshin. Why are your stats so high? It’s only natural that the Awakeners of [Sungjin] get beaten without using much strength. How many Awoken did he kill to get such high stats?’

The stats of the long-haired man who shouted as if commanding among the looters were far higher than any looters he had ever seen.

Jung-min gritted his teeth to make a loud noise, and swung his sword at the looter in front.

The looter raised his sword with a relaxed expression and blocked Jung-min’s sword, and soon the sword and his body split in half and rolled on the floor.

A commotion arose among the looters as they saw their comrades split in half and collapsed on the floor with a single accord.

Seeing that, the long-haired man shouted again.

“Me and the SS will deal with him! The rest of us run to the Shelter Chief’s Office! We have to secure the Shelter Chief! If we delay and all of the Shelter’s Combat Units rush in, it’s over!”

A long-haired man and four marauders. A total of five approached Jeong-min, and the remaining looters split in half and ran to the shelter manager’s room, passing by both sides of Jeong-min.

The Awakeners of [Sungjin], who came out late armed, tried to stop them, but they were helplessly pushed back.

‘Since Mr. Leah is guarding it, I could just leave it as it is…’

Jung-min decided to pay attention to the other side’s fight and focus on his own fight.

A long-haired man and four looters are confronting Jung-min.

When I looked at it with ’emotional eyes’, I could see that all four of them had fairly high stats, although not as much as the long-haired man.

The long-haired man raised his sword and pointed it at Jung-min.

“You seem to have a lot of talent. If you kill a guy like you, your stats will go up quite a bit. Do you have a lot of gold?”

“I have quite a bit of gold. If you kill me, hundreds of thousands of gold will just come in?”

Greed passed in the eyes of the five men who heard Jung-min’s words.

The long-haired man looked around at the guards and said.

“I’m going to hit the last one. I know I’ll die by my hand if I do useless things.”

The bodyguards did not react much to the long-haired man’s words, but it was clear that they were very sorry.

Looking at the five marauders, Jung-min said in awe.

“They are playing.”

With Jung-min’s words as the starting point, the looters began to rush at them.

When Jeong-Min’s sword collided with the SS’ sword wrapped in white light, the looter was thrown away with a tearing sound.

‘I wielded it with the intention of cutting it down with the sword, but it sure has high stats.’

Jung-min stuck out his tongue and immediately used space movement to the side of the long-haired man.

A long-haired man who blocks the swinging sword as soon as he moves.

“Keuuugh!”

The dragon’s sword didn’t break, but the long-haired man also bounced back, and five arrows, shining bright white, flew at Jeong-min, who tried to follow him.

Jeongmin quickly swung his sword and deflected all five arrows.

Jung-min appeared in front of the enemy who fired an arrow using space movement again.

“Stop this too”

Jung-Min used the ‘Flame Sword’ skill and swung the sword from top to bottom with blazing flames.

The rest of the bodyguards flinched at the sight of a colleague who fell in half with the acrid smell of burning.

Holding a flame-blazing sword, Jung-min looked at the rest of the enemies and said in a bleak voice.

“Let’s finish quickly. Come on.”

Meanwhile, the looters who rushed to the shelter chief’s room easily knocked down the Awakeners of [Sungjin] blocking their way.

Most of the Awoken who could not come out due to the sudden invasion, and even those who came out were not even properly prepared.

In addition, since they are looters with much higher stats than the Awakeners, they are helpless rather than blocked.

The looter who was running in the lead reached the door of the shelter manager’s room, and the moment he opened the door.

squeak

The upper and lower bodies of the looter who opened the door were separated and fell to the ground.

At that time, when the looters who were flocking after them stopped and flinched at the moment,

Something in the shape of a half-moon protruded from the door and passed right through the looters.

fight

The looters standing in the path of the half-moon-shaped object collapsed to the ground.

Only then did the looters, realizing that there was someone inside the Shelter Director’s Office who had launched a powerful attack, stopped and looked at the entrance of the Shelter Director’s Office with their swords raised.

And, seeing Leah coming out of the shelter with a white sword, she made a confused expression.

Unable to imagine that such a delicate looking foreign beauty would have launched the terrifying attack just now, the looters, thinking that there might be someone else inside, looked behind Leah.

However, since there was only a middle-aged man who was presumed to be the shelter manager sitting in the shelter manager’s room with a dumbfounded expression, the looters looked at Leah with confused eyes again.

Laughing at the predators, Leah swung her sword again.

A white, half-moon-shaped light emanated from Leah’s sword, and the three raiders in front split in half and collapsed to the ground.

Only then did the marauders, realizing that Leah was responsible for a terrifying attack, rushed at her with shouts.

And,

The time it took for all of them to turn into cold bodies and roll on the floor was very quick.

“Keuheouk..!”

Jung-Min’s sword stuck on the long-haired man’s shoulder.

The man trembled and swung the sword held in the other hand, but Jung-min grabbed the long-haired man’s arm with ease.

When he twisted it while holding his arm, it broke with a loud sound, and the long-haired man let go of his sword in pain.

When the sword fell, Jung-min let go of his arm and hit the long-haired man on the chin.

“Phew, it’s over”

As the looter I met at Sungshin Station said, the leader of this intruder, the long-haired man, had quite a lot of skills.

However, the proficiency of each skill itself was very low, so it was not too difficult to deal with.

The long-haired man who had been hit in the jaw seemed to have fainted and not yet died.

Around him, four corpses, called the SS, were lying here and there.

Looking in the direction of the shelter manager’s room, I saw Leah smiling and waving at Jeong-min among countless looters.

Jung-min waved his hand at Leah, then grabbed the long-haired man’s leg and dragged him toward the shelter manager’s room.

Leah greeted Jung-min and said.

“You’ve worked hard, Mr. Jeongmin.”

“It’s hard work, it’s Leah who has dealt with far more enemies than I have dealt with.”

When Jung-Min spoke while looking at the corpses lying around, he shook his head as if it was not Leah.

“They were all small puppets. The people Jung-min dealt with were the most elite among looters.”

“They definitely have high stats like the best of the best. I’m worried. If there are more looters like this, I think it will become more and more difficult for normal shelters and guilds…”

“So we have to get rid of all the looters in sight. As time goes on, they kill a lot of Awoken and get stronger…”

“Well, since we’ve captured the most powerful group of predators, it should be a little quiet for a while.”

Leah nodded at Jung-min’s words, and Joong-woo approached the two as they were talking.

Joong-woo bowed deeply to the two and greeted them.

“Thank you very much. If it weren’t for you two, [Sungjin] Shelter would have been in serious trouble.”

Jung-min said while receiving Joong-woo’s greeting.

“It’s a pity. If I had come a little earlier and prepared, the damage could have been reduced more…”

Joong-woo looked at the victims lying everywhere with a sorrowful expression, then shook his head and said to Jeong-min.

“It’s unfortunate, but… it’s really fortunate that it ended with this much damage. It was an incident where the shelter itself could collapse.”

“It looks like you need to be a little more careful about the secret entrance to the shelter.”

“Yes, it’s an emergency evacuation route, so we can’t close it, but we plan to keep it firmly by adding more vigilantes. Thank you again for your great help.”

As Joong-woo thanked Jung-min again, the long-haired man groaned and woke up.

Jeongmin looked at the long-haired man and said.

“Did you sleep well?”
