ground zero (2)

I sent an appropriate reply to Ahn Young-ho.

It was an obvious, but moderately hopeful, comment to say that I will contact you when the time is right, so that you can be well.

‘It must be night when we arrive.’

Ganghu saw the afternoon sun about to disappear over the western sky.

Most hunters are reluctant to move at night, but it wasn’t in the dark.

【Night Vision】

because it has the ability to

Rather, the night was good.

It’s not just Hunters who rely on information called sight. The same goes for monsters.

Now, when you enter Ground Zero, you have to be very nervous and walk around.

This place is wild.

It is also a place full of all kinds of variables and mutations.

It is also a place where momentary carelessness and false certainty lead directly to death.

Duduk. Duduk.

Ganghu started warming up by warming up his wrist and neck muscles in advance so that he could go into battle at any time.

When you arrive at the scene, you won’t even have time to warm up.

While going north along the Gyeongui Central Line, I was thinking of diligently raising my senses.

In Ground Zero, each of the five senses is really important.

2 hours later.

After getting off at Imjingang Station and climbing up for a while, Kanghu arrived at Ground Zero.

To be precise, it was located one kilometer away from where the border barbed wire and entry checkpoints were located.

“It’s a piece of sh*t.”

The atmosphere was bad as expected.

First of all, the entrance check was not done by the Hunter Public Security Office, but by the guild entrusted by the Public Security Office.

The ‘New World’ guild.

They have a pretty grandiose name, but they were only responsible for opening and closing the iron gate at the checkpoint.

The proof was that they did not intervene in the street of entertainment and pleasure created nearby and everything that happened there.

Because it is all red light district and entertainment bar, quarrels and fights are frequent, but there was no manpower involved.

Even if there is a murder, it is only finished by cleaning up the corpse and bloodstains.

Of course, the constable of the Hunter Police Department has nothing to come, and the Hunter of the New World Guild is not interested either.

broken street lights.

Old cars abandoned at will.

Up to a huge mountain of garbage bags piled up arbitrarily.

There seemed to be no dreams, hopes, or future in this slumped place.

Even in the old, abandoned building, homeless people who were kicked out of Seoul lived on their own.

It was meaningless to argue over who was the owner, but by the time Ganghu came, sword fighting was already taking place.

While trying to pull out the stone with the stone rolled in, he ended up cutting his stomach with a knife.

“… … .”

Meanwhile, facing the obvious red light district in front of him, Kang Hu didn’t want to suffer from annoying touts, so he deliberately took a detour around the street.

Maybe it’s because the red light district is the main street here, so when I came to the side of a block, the surroundings became dark.

at that time.

I met eyes with five hunters who were smoking weed in a dark alley.

Since no ordinary person would come here unless they were out of their minds, the five were convinced that they were hunters.

“hey. Can you stop for a second?”

When Ganghu quietly ignored him and tried to pass by, he heard a voice calling him.

But he didn’t respond. Talking here means that you will fight unconditionally.

There is only one exception.

It’s time for the ‘sisters’ who solicit customers in the red light district.

Other than that, the only thing that interests Hunter is when he does something bad using the lawlessness of this area.

“You told me to stop, it’s a baby.”

Hunter, immediately stimulated by Ganghu’s disregard, raised his voice.

It would be nice if they could go their separate ways, but it seems they have no intention of doing so.

“Every time you say another word there, one person dies. let’s go our way when you say nice things.”

When Kang-hu blows a short and bold warning and tries to take a step forward again.

“What are you, whoops… … .”

A voice blew away the last bit of patience.

Kanghu, who had already used Acceleration and Leap in succession at that moment, was in a completely different position.

It was right behind the protagonist of the voice, that guy.

This is because in the end, even the transverse movement was written.

Suagh!

“ぅ!”

Kang Hu brought the dagger from behind to the front of his neck and cut his throat without any measurement.

It is also the most vulnerable part of the protection of armor items, so there was no way to withstand it.

I didn’t forget to link the blood to end my life.

Then, a series of explosions erupted from the neck where a thick line had already been drawn.

“Sir, f*ck… … . what is this.”

The remaining four were all shocked.

He had no choice but to stick his tongue out at the connection that separated the head with a single cut on the neck.

It was not the calculation that I could somehow endure it, but the thought that if I brushed against it, I would die, the fear came over me.

“Aww!”

All the other four ran away without even having time to find the comrades they had been talking about so hard.

“… … .”

Ganghu looked at their backs with a pathetic expression and took the item from the dead hunter.

There were no usable items, but it seemed like I could get 100 million won if I put them all together and sell them.

I wasn’t particularly impressed, perhaps because it was a humble hunter wearing only low-priced items with good cost-effectiveness.

All he said was that he had enough money to buy about 20 solarium stalks.

* * *

In front of the entry checkpoint.

Ganghu applied for admission and wrote his pseudonym on the roster.

It was a meaningless procedure that could use any name.

There was only one procedure that made sure, and that was the level scan procedure.

“Hey, you’re a novice.”

When the manager saw Kanghu’s level information after the scan was finished, he smiled and glanced at him.

Ignoring him as a newbie at first meeting was already a sign of looking down on Kang-hoo.

Is that why?

I expected it, but it was twisted faster than expected.

“Right now, there is a lot of waiting to enter, so I think I will have to wait for about two days. Are you okay?”

I have never made a statement, but I openly let go of my words.

I didn’t feel any outrageous feelings.

If an insignificant insect buzzes in front of you, it feels like ignoring it without paying attention?

I didn’t think it was worth it, so I couldn’t hear what he was talking about.

There is no one around waiting to enter, and it is a situation where anyone can afford to enter.

However, the fact that managers say such bullsh*t usually comes out when their pockets are tight.

Ganghu took out a wad of 50,000 won from his backpack and tossed it at him.

Chapter 100. It is 5 million won.

“Ohh?”

“open it.”

He briefly said what he asked for.

Then, the quick-witted manager immediately scratched the back of his head and changed his posture.

“Oops. older brother. Looking at the list, there is one Hunter that didn’t make it today. You can go right in!”

It was better to be honest about the money.

If it was a guy who was acting strangely, he would have been in the same situation as the guy whose head was blown off earlier.

Do I know

That he was able to save his life thanks to his good behavior.

Of course you wouldn’t know. And one day, I’m going to be beaten by someone like that.

Fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case today.

Kanghu, who went inside, chose a tall tree and climbed all the way up it rather than moving frantically.

It was a night when the sun had completely set, so there were no lights illuminating the surroundings.

This is because there are no separate streetlights or lighting facilities inside Ground Zero.

To be precise, it was originally there, but since it was broken and worn out, it was not repaired or replaced.

Looking farther away, I saw the movement of a hunter who seemed to be moving using a flashlight.

It’s an obvious choice, but it’s also the most dangerous choice in Ground Zero.

This is because that light becomes a ‘target’ for countless monsters, beasts, and other hunters.

“hmm.”

There is one reason Kang-hoo didn’t move right away.

It was because there was only one existence in Ground Zero that I cared about a lot.

From noble mtl dot com

The monster, the black guide.

Also known by other nicknames.

It was also a guy with characteristics close to a soul that could not be killed or cut as a kind of assembly of specters.

As a result, no sound could be heard even when approached closely.

In addition, it has a black shape, making it harder to notice and see at night.

The scary thing is that if your entire body gets caught up in the black guide, you lose sight.

The second is that it causes delirium and leads to suicide.

Because your mind is controlled before you even realize it, you die without knowing that you are going to die.

When I open my eyes, I become the underworld.

at that time.

Kang-hu, who was meticulously examining his surroundings with his night vision ability, saw something strange.

One of the hunters, who was lighting the road with a flashlight, suddenly turned at a right angle.

Then, he threw himself on a sharp stone beak right in front of him, crashing into his forehead and falling down.

It must have been an instant death in that state, judging from the body not fluttering once.

‘Shall we go?’

Ganghu came down from the tree.

The Black Guides are territorial, and do not encroach on other people’s territories.

And after leading one intruder to death, it has a separate chiller.

Just like a murderer takes a break after killing.

The ‘sacrifice’ of the hunter who died earlier gave Ganghu the confidence to move.

Charleuk.

After descending to the ground, Ganghu unfolded the inside map that had been treated with fluorescence.

GZ-5. 11. 13. 19. 24. 45.

A key point is seen.

It is certain that there is a Mad Solarium in these six areas.

This is because it was a number Kanghu often marked as a lottery number when he was living as the original author.

After that number, we decided on the district number where Mad Solachium is located.

Area number 5 is the first area you can arrive at because numbers are added in order from the beginning.

It’s time to move diligently.

moved on

It was night, and the Hunters were nowhere to be seen, perhaps because Ground Zero had entered a ‘warning period’ these days.

I also felt a particularly strong tone. It really feels like you’re going to meet a ghost just by turning your head.

The alert period is dangerous because it is a time when the abilities of monsters are strengthened compared to the stability period.

However, looking back, it was also a time when experience and rewards became much more salty.

It’s high risk high return.

Kang-hoo rather liked the current time.

If you respond well, you can see twice the profit than usual.

at that time.

“hmm.”

A sunflower with unnaturally folded petals came into view.

It is an unusual appearance of a sunflower flower that should always be in full bloom.

It’s not just a flower. It is a flower that has become a monster.

It means that it is an existence that can threaten the Hunter at any time.

Ganghu was wandering around, and at the point where he was in a straight line with the sunflower, he threw himself back.

Then, the closed sunflower petals opened wide, and a light green liquid poured out from the inside.

Chii profit!

It was a strongly acidic liquid.

Everything it touched melted in an instant. Rocks, bushes, and everything else has disappeared.

“It’s really wild.”

Kang Hu nodded.

Then, with a single knife, he cut down the sunflower that had lost the liquid he had been steadily collecting.

Keeing… … .

futile death.

The mutant sunflower ended its life after giving Ganghu a generous amount of experience and a blue magic stone.

A magic stone worth 10 million won!

Looking at the effort to cut a single flower, there was no business that was as profitable as this one.
