#Episode 10. The Advance Party (2)
The blue team moved first.
I hit the player.
Perhaps the other team also had a leader who was quick to adapt and bring people together.
But they only thought of the first move and did not think of the second move.
If they hit the players to get information, we can get their information too.
The man who introduced himself as the branch manager looked around the 7th floor.
Then he immediately spoke to the man behind him.
“What are you doing? Please share it quickly.”
“Yes, branch manager.”
The man greeted Kim Dong-gil politely, then ordered him to distribute the food to the others.
Several people who appeared to be employees of the shopping mall took out food from the basket.
These were fancy foods.
There was bread, fruit, steak, udon, ramen, fried food, bottled water, and even packaged sushi.
These were foods brought from a restaurant in a shopping mall.
It was of a whole other level of quality than regular food.
A sweet smell filled the store, making you forget even the smell of blood.
People raised their heads as if they were possessed by the smell of food.
Kim Dong-gil continued to greet people with a smile.
“Are you hungry? Let’s eat first. There’s also water. Drink slowly.”
Rattling-! Rattling… … .
At that time, Kim Dong-gil spilled the bucket next to him.
“Oh, no.”
He had an expression on his face as if he had made a mistake, but you could tell right away that it wasn’t a mistake at all.
The water I had worked so hard to bring in mixed with blood and became undrinkable.
I immediately looked at the status window.
[Food: 3 -> 2]
Resource consumption was also updated quickly.
The staff began picking up bottles of water and handing them out to people.
But the people on the Hong team did not easily accept the water they were offering.
These people also have a rough idea.
In a game where you have to kill your opponent to win, you can’t just accept food given to you by the ‘enemy’.
However, humans are creatures who are infinitely weak when faced with desire.
Sniff sniff.
The fragrant smell of food wafted toward my nose.
I wasn’t even hungry, but the smell of food made me feel hungry.
Even I was tempted to sway.
Ordinary people won’t be able to overcome it easily.
“Can I really eat this… …?”
Let’s take a few steps forward, entranced by the food.
Kim Dong-gil smiled and pulled up the bait he had thrown in one breath.
“Of course. Of course.”
“Ah… … Thank you!”
“thank you……!”
People grabbed their food in a hurry.
People inside the barricades also joined in and lined up for water and food.
Before we knew it, a long line had formed in front of the basket.
Kim Dong-gil was still distributing food to people.
I pointed to Kim Dong-gil and asked Jin Jae-hee.
“Is that man the king?”
If I were the king of the blue team, I would pull out my gun and kill him here at 00:00.
Because that was the fastest way to end the game.
But Jin Jae-hee shook his head.
“I don’t know. In my previous life, I was in an area that started in Gyeongnam.”
In conclusion, this league, which is implemented in each region, has officially the same rules, but the events that occur within it are different in each region.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a few words with him.
After all, if they were going to dig up information, we had to dig up information too.
I took a step forward.
Thud-.
Then Jin Jae-hee grabbed my wrist.
“You mustn’t be exposed. They must have come here for reconnaissance. I’ll go. You don’t have to use your power in vain. If you want, I’ll kill them all.”
Jaehee walked forward, leaving me behind.
But I caught her again.
Jaehee looked back at me, slightly surprised, and I spoke calmly.
“That’s why I’m going.”
“… … .”

And he walked forward, leaving her behind.

“Eat slowly. There’s a lot of food.”
Dong-gil treated people kindly.
And I looked around and thought.
‘Barricade.’
Monsters swarming, people I’ve never seen before, darkness, and yet I’ve gathered them all together to create my own barricade.
It meant that the Hong team also had a pretty smart leader.
‘It won’t be as easy as I thought.’
Before coming to the 7th floor, Kim Dong-gil was confident of victory.
The Blue team had the food and the advantage over the other teams both in population and location.
Kim Dong-gil quickly assembled a team and gathered people around himself and his subordinates.
If you charge right after 00:00, you will be able to subdue the Red Team without difficulty.
but.
There is one case in a million.
If the Red Team has ‘something’ that we can’t respond to, the situation becomes unfavorable.
Kim Dong-gil came to confirm it.
Whether or not there is that ‘something’.
As Kim Dong-gil glanced around, a man appeared before his eyes.
It was Kang Shi-on.
Kim Dong-gil looked away from his surroundings and looked at Zion.
It was a dead eye.
The eyes were emotionless and showed no sign of sympathy.
Thud, thud.
His steps were weak.
Even though he was meeting the man for the first time today, Kim Dong-gil felt chills for a moment.
It was a great murder.
“Why did you come down?”
The first words out of Zion’s mouth were unexpected.
He got straight to the point without any prior greetings or introductions.
Kim Dong-gil laughed inwardly.
‘You have no intention of wasting time.’
It is unclear whether Kang Si-on in front of us is the ‘king’ of the Hong team or not.
But there was no doubt that he was one of the strongest players in the Hong team.
Kim Dong-gil had a good eye for this kind of thing.
That’s why I was able to get promoted quickly within the company.
“ha ha ha.”
Dong-gil forced a smile.
Whenever he faced a difficult opponent, he always started with a smile.
“I came here to share food with you all. Shouldn’t we survive this disaster together?”
“You didn’t receive an explanation about the round, did you?”
Even if he tried to change the subject, it didn’t work on Kang Shi-on.
Dong-gil made a bewildered expression and waved his hand.
It was thorough acting.
“No! Not at all! Not at all! Student, you’re going to be in big trouble.”
Kim Dong-gil strongly denied Zion’s words.
And then he continued speaking calmly.
“We will never go along with that crazy game. People are going to kill each other! Why do you believe those monsters? We have decided not to care about that. What do you think? You should join us. I am sure there will be a way out of this building!”
Kim Dong-gil appealed.
So, how are you going to react?
Kim Dong-gil thought so and turned his eyes to look around.
The people of the Red Team were looking this way while eating food.
Kim Dong-gil’s statement now is a definition.
His own thoughts that he had no intention of following this crazy game.
And the idea that we all have to work together to overcome this disaster.
A normal person would have no choice but to accept this suggestion.
Because good citizens deserve the justice they deserve.
Moreover, if it is the person who gave you the food, that trust will be amplified even more.
‘Oh, perfect.’
Kim Dong-gil is a master of worldly wisdom.
He knows very well what the human mind is and how to use it.
It is an ability I have acquired over the past 20 years of social life.
After recruiting the Hong Team members in this way, we will begin an all-out attack the moment it passes midnight.
Because the biggest opportunity was when the enemy let his guard down.
But Kim Dong-gil overlooked it.
The Hong team already knew.
The fact that if you don’t follow the game, there is only death.
That’s why Kim Dong-gil’s plan had no chance of working.
‘… … Uh… … Uh?’
At this point, you should agree with me, right?
Kim Dong-gil thought as he looked at the people on the Hong team who were maintaining their stability.
Then Zion stepped forward and spoke to him.
“cooperation?”
“… … .”
The air became heavy at Zion’s one word.
Zion said.
“Then let’s do this. All the members of your blue team will join the red team. According to the rule book, if the king agrees, you can switch teams at any time. Then bring your king to me. If you kill your king, only one person will die and this game will be over. That’s the only way to cooperate with us. How about that? Can you do that?”
“ah.”
Dong-gil was at a loss as to what to do with the situation that had suddenly changed.
I couldn’t bring myself to open my mouth.
Zion’s words were correct.
As a result, if only two of the three kings died, there was no reason for the other ordinary ‘citizens’ to die.
Zion was the first to realize that, and then he swung it at Dong-gil as a counterpunch.
Dong-gil ended up falling for his own trick.
Because of one word from Zion.
Kim Dong-gil raised one eyebrow.
‘What the… What the… What the heck is this kid?’
It was my first time seeing Kim Dong-gil.
That wasn’t acting.
Calmness in this situation.
And the trusting gazes of those behind him.
This guy is a monster.
Dong-gil has now entered the group.
“No! We don’t want any killing. We don’t have to follow their rules, do we?”
Repeat what you said.
It’s like a child throwing a tantrum.
Kim Dong-gil looked around to seek agreement.
But no one on the Hong team sympathized with him.
“Oh, so student. Let’s hold hands. The police will be here soon. Until then.”
Dong-gil extended his hand to Zion.
Tamar-!
But Zion coldly pushed Dong-gil’s hand away.
Zion said of him:
“There will be no next time. If you come again without warning like this, you will all be dead.”
“… … .”
The men from the Blue Team who had been distributing food stopped in their tracks.
Kim Dong-gil stared blankly at Zion and put his hands in his pockets.
There was no need for acting anymore.
This man has absolutely no use for his worldly wisdom.
Kim Dong-gil admitted defeat.
For now, that is.
“Okay, I understand.”
Kim Dong-gil’s speech suddenly changed.
He took a cigarette out of his right jacket pocket, lit it, and started smoking.
Phew-.
Kim Dong-gil blew cigarette smoke into Kang Si-on’s face.
And then he immediately started coughing.
“Cough… …! Cough!”
In fact, Kim Dong-gil didn’t know how to smoke.
It was just a bluff.
It was an action taken when treating subordinates poorly or intimidating them.
“Ahem, umm… … But you know, do you think this kind of thing would be tolerated in our store? I’m the branch manager here.”
Kim Dong-gil was talking about the barricade.
A disaster is a disaster, and a fortune is a fortune.
That was Kim Dong-gil’s logic.
Kim Dong-gil exhaled smoke from his cigarette again.
“Kulok! Kulok… … ! Kaak! Thud! … … Phew… … What do you think? If we go out and legally deal with this… … .”
Kim Dong-gil scanned Kang Si-on from head to toe with his eyes.
It was the clothing of a day laborer.
Kim Dong-gil ended his speech with a smirk.
“… … This is an amount of money that you can’t pay back even if you earn it your entire life. What should I do with this?”
ha ha ha.
Dong-gil laughed once.
Hahahahahahahaha… … .
The advance guard of the blue team awkwardly followed him and laughed.
But even in this situation, Zion did not panic.
Zion thought.
This man in front of me is more stupid than I thought.
“Do whatever you want.”
A man named Kim Dong-gil still believes that the world is governed by law and discipline, and that the police maintain order.
I thought this fu*king game only took place inside this building.
There was nothing more to say about such an idiot.
Zion let out a short sigh, seeming to have lost interest.
Kim Dong-gil, who had been watching the scene, now frowned openly.
And only then did Dong-gil show his true nature.
“This cheeky brat… … How old are you? Don’t you know who I am? You don’t seem to understand the situation… … .”
Are you in gangster mode now?
ha-.
Zion sighed again and looked at his watch.
It was a five thousand won digital watch.
11:55.
There are 5 minutes left until midnight.
“You said that attacks on each other are allowed from 00:00?”
“… … !”
Dong-gil was startled and quickly checked his wristwatch.
It was a luxury watch worth 20 million won.
Dong-gil checked the time and looked around.
The Hong team’s people were already holding the wheat sticks and glaring at them.
And Zion stabbed him in the final dagger.
Bam.
The two men were quite close together, and even if Zion took something out from below, Dong-gil would not have noticed.
Dong-gil looked at the object that had touched his stomach, trembling slightly.
It was a gun.
‘First… second… first… total… … .’
The red team has guns.
The shape of the gun began to fill Kim Dong-gil’s eyes.
He started to tremble.
Zion said of him:
“Get out. If you come back like this again, I’ll just kill you.”
It was a well-founded threat.
It was a powerful threat.
Kim Dong-gil looked extremely pitiful in front of that gun.
Ppoduk-.
Kim Dong-gil ground his teeth.
In his entire life, he had never experienced such humiliation.
It was a verbal defeat for the day laborer in front of me.
He was a branch manager at a shopping mall. He had an annual salary of 400 million won, a luxury sports car, an apartment in Gangnam, and was successful as a working adult, but he was discouraged by a day laborer who earned 120,000 won per day.
‘Sigh, F*ck. This is foul play.’
Kim Dong-gil was so angry that he couldn’t express it.
There was no choice.
There was no time, and the Blue Team had significantly fewer people than the Red Team.
Kim Dong-gil clenched his fist and turned around.
“let’s go.”
“Hey, branch manager… … ?”
“Don’t say anything, just follow me!”
“yes yes…….”
Thud, thud.
Kim Dong-gil walked toward the escalator.
Then Zion provoked him.
“Oh, okay. Thanks for the food.”
The food that the blue team brought will become the stamina for the red team.
Kim Dong-gil nervously threw the cigarette he was holding onto the ground and started to climb up the escalator.
Only then did Zion’s expression disappear.
barricade.
Unity.
And guns.
With this, the Blue team will not attack rashly.
Zion turned and returned to the barricade.
‘Okay, I’ve earned some time. What should I do now?’
Time was gained.
At least one day, or two days.
We had to prepare for the Blue team’s attack.
And soon an idea came to Zion’s mind.
Zion called her.
“Jin Jae-hee.”
