Stagnant Water of Apocalypse

d.
This is information I recently got.
Foreigners have landed in Busan.
They are probably Japanese.”

“Why are the Japanese coming here?”

“Probably to look for something to eat.”

“Did they all come here by the sea? That’s tough.”

“There is no clear information about how they came yet, but it seems that there are at least a few of them.
And everyone speaks Korean.”

This information surprised me too.
After all, how can people from mainland Japan speak Korean? Not only one or two but all of them.

Jang Won-taek rubbed his hands when people looked like they couldn’t believe it.
“When I heard about it, I ordered my agent to check it again, but the same information came up.
To be precise, they speak Japanese to each other, but to us it sounds Korean.
Do you understand?”

Hmm… He said from his agent? It also means that there was information he hadn’t told us yet.
It seems like if we were really curious, we would have to join the government’s organization…

Hyung-jun hyung was so surprised that he asked again.
“Then do they hear us in Japanese too? Is that even possible?”

“That part is not yet clear.
For now, we are observing them from a distance…”

“It’s amazing that foreigners are still alive.”

“There would be no system, so how come they survived?” Dakeong, who had been silent all this while, crossed her legs and sat down in the opposite direction.
All the gazes of the male aides standing behind Jang Won-taek turned towards her at once.

“I think the person who was looking for Japanese people at the auction house a few days ago was a real Japanese person.”

“Did that happen? If so, it seems like people who said they had met foreigners in the speedrun labyrinth must have said the truth.
Heh heh, I’m actually getting information.”

That Japanese name was Yuzuka… It seems like when someone does not have an ID for Survival Life, their real name will be registered in the system.
If so many Japanese are still alive, so would people from other countries.
I proceeded to ask how far the government delivered the information about the apocalypse, and Jang Won-taek replied that they spread it to all the necessary countries.

“Of course, there were countries which did not believe in the apocalypse.
However, a number of countries have directly confirmed the monster’s in real life.
So, they accepted it.  After all, it’s hard to deny that.”

“To put it all together, I’d say all of the survivors now have the system.
Including the Japanese who landed in Busan.”

“Ah… now that I think about it.
If you already opened the auction house, you’re already level 15, right? Aren’t you very fast?”

“It’s because my unique skill is combat-related, and if you focus on leveling up, reaching level 15 is not that difficult.
After that, it’s the Hell section, so it’s really difficult.”

Da-jeong’s words are correct.
Though, she also lied about the hell section because she was currently at level 17.

Jang Won-taek glanced at his aide and after receiving a nod, began to stand up.

“It was nice to meet you today.
By the way, Da-jeong is going to meet a lot of people today.”

“Hm? Did I have a date scheduled today? I have no idea.”

“The rumors about the Zombie Queen have spread far.”

“Hmmm… I don’t like it.
If I catch one of them and force them to have a good time with my boys generation, they will be quiet, right?”

“Haha, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Anyway, today was fun.
See you next time.”

When President Jang Won-taek disappeared with his aides, Hyung-jun hyung shook his head.

“The president is really alive.
I once thought it was only rumour.”

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen him in person too.
We all owe him something.
But it doesn’t mean that we will join the government shelter.
After all, that guy, Survivor 1, was there.
By the way, the president must have awakened, but what kind of ability does he have… Since he is the president, his ability wouldn’t be combat related…

Da-jeong dangled her high heels on the tip of her toes and clicked her tongue.

“Director, the kids over there are calling you.”

“The kids?”

“Yes.
Go quickly.”

After Hyung-jun hyung disappeared, Da-jeong turned to me.

“Seongho, aren’t you being too shy? Do you know how many days I rotted in Gimhae because of you?”

“You still look fine.”

“My stomach is rotting, what can I do? It’s not fun because everyone is living a good life! I can’t have fun!”

“Hey, lower your voice.”

It seems like she was bored because people were afraid of her and treated her with respect.
People like her need something exciting and dangerous to happen after all.

She put her finger under my chin.
“I will follow you from now on.
Consider yourself warned!”

“Oh, so you want to advertise that I’m Gimbap, huh?”

“I can just call you my slave.
I think it would be perfect if you just put on your panties and go with a butt plug.
You have a pretty good body.”

“I refuse, Duck Buttock.
I need to go find Rapwi, so I don’t have time.”

Her eyes gleamed.
“Rapwi? You have not met him yet? What the hell did you do in Masan?”

“I was a little busy… Fighting with people.”

“…Seeing you say that seriously, I guess it wasn’t a joke.”

“Something like that happened.
By the way, I found Poor Man.”

“Poor Man? Really?”

A few fixed viewers of my show were even known by the other stagnant waters.
And in Poor Man’s case, they enjoyed his concept a lot.
Especially Da-jeong.

“It was not a concept.
He must have had a really hard life.”

“Is that him? Strongest Jio, get him.”

In an instant, the zombies caught Jiman.
Then, when he was brought over, her attention switched from me to Jiman.

“Your face is so pure.
What’s your name?”

“Hyu-hyung…”

I’m sorry.
Please play with her a little.

I sneaked away from them.

I was finally able to find the approximate number of people who had entered the farming dungeon.
It was over 200 people.
I wish everyone would peacefully hunt and focus on farming, but that hope was squashed when there were already some fights and riots starting to brew.

Through Yoohyeon’s paper airplane more information came.

“Someone died because a fight broke out while they were digging for resources…”

“Where did it happen?”

“The lake side where we were.”

It’s close to our location.
It was clearly a murder case, and there was a high probability that it will happen again.
Wasn’t it originally said that blood calls for more blood? As there were so many people, it seemed like a big commotion would happen if a death match took place.

After hearing everything, Hyung-jun hyung briefed the members again.
“It’s dangerous there, so don’t go to those areas for the time being.
On top of it, be especially careful of wind noise.
When something gusts, you go down on your stomach instantly.
Understand?”

“Yes!!”

After that, we wandered around and got back to farming.
It was nothing special, but I picked some fruits and, although small, I did some hunting.
While we did so, Da-jeong and I acted separately from the rest of the group.
When it was decided so, everyone looked at me pitifully.
Da-jeong made an excuse that she was harassing me.

In fact, the real purpose of me moving with Da-jeong was to attack the nearby griffon nest.
As a result of reconnaissance through Yoohyeon, a nearby griffon nest was spread across a relatively low rock.

We observed the nest by hiding in the forest under the rocks.
“The nest is very low.
As far as I remember, if the nest is low, the size of the griffon is very small.”

That’s what I saw through the video.
Griffon’s nest was determined through territorial battles.
The strong build their nests high, and the weak build their nests low.
The owner of the nest we observed was probably kicked out by nearby stronger griffons.

“Given the size of the nest, It’s safe to assume that it’s not fully grown yet.”

“How big is this ‘not fully grown yet’? I can’t remember.”

“About twice the size of a bull.
If we rush in, it will probably greet us like we are a lunch box.”

“So what? Let’s just go to the nest, beat the griffon and rob it.”

It seems like Da-jeong didn’t want to pass on the chance of beating the Griffon.
While we were making plans, a paper airplane flew in front of us.
This was some sort of warning from Yoohyeon.
Which means we couldn’t speak comfortably anymore.

As I jumped up and looked around, a few people appeared through the bushes.
As soon as they saw the friendly zombie, they pulled out their weapons.

“It’s a zombie!”

“Calm down for a second.
I think I know who is here.”

The gaze of the man in the lead stopped at me for a moment, then moved to Da-jeong.
Among the zombies, he must have thought that I was of little value.

“Duck Buttock, is that you? It’s me, Survivor 1.”

“Huh?” Da-jeong’s eyebrows creased.
