“This is... Atlanta...?”

Soon after that, I walked into Atlanta and heard the sound of hard looking around my neck. It was an indispensable voice, but it was somewhat disappointing.

It was worth it. After passing through the entrance, the city's nightlife was truly unmistakable. No, the ruins of the ruined buildings are abundant and some of them are badly worn down as if they were about to collapse.

“Hmmm... Is this what happens when you first discover a city? ”

Kim Hanbyol whispered while swallowing a deep groan.

“There's nothing I can do. It's a place that's been untouched. ”

I simply replied.

On the other hand, Gimhanbyol's feelings were somewhat understandable, in fact, that Atlanta today looked almost like a desolate ruin.

It will probably be hopeless. At first, I thought it was just to have a city like this. When I first discovered it, I trembled at the magnificence of the tall walls, but the interior is not as beautiful as I imagined.

As I see it, Atlanta, once developed, remembers that even the North Continent versus the city Barbara was an enormous advantage to the treatment of cattle below. However, for now, it is only a city with high potential for development.

In a way, it's a reality, and it's an Atlanta state address.

‘By the way... What do we do now? ’

Suddenly, I thought about it and looked around. And soon I felt embarrassed.

I wonder if I've come back at such a fuzzy time. All you can see now is the dirt in the moonlight. No matter how much you look at it, you can't even see it. Nevertheless, it would be hopeful to have a restaurant or tavern in a city like this.

The best way, of course, is to go where the mercenary clans are. But how do we find it in this vast city? It's hard to believe you can find a needle even if you're not looking for sand. Eventually, I had to go in either direction.

I thought so, and opened my mouth, carrying Kim Han-star.

“Let's go, anti-star. ”

“Your brother. My concern... What?”

“Yes? Why? ”

“Oh, no. ”

Kim Hanbyol stutters as if to ask why. I swiftly crossed the street, tugging at my heart.

About 30 paces away.

“ ……! ”

“ ……? ”

Suddenly, you hear someone speaking a little louder. Reflexively, I could see that a few people were talking.

The direction is straight ahead. The sound is slowly approaching us.

‘But there's no reason to die. ’

I took a breath of relief and made fun of my busy pace. North continent. Finding a user wandering around at this time in the city I just discovered was really close to Cheonan.

“… Ah. So where are you... ”

“What do you care...! ”

As expected, there are two young men who appear to be users walking slowly in front of you. I heard voices and I thought they were arguing, not a story, but one seemed to be a man and the other a woman.

“Oh, don't bother! What's wrong with you...! ”

Did they feel us, too? The woman on the right is furious, glancing at me and frowning. For a woman, she was a beautifully tall woman, but she looked very neurotic. If not, it looks even worse with its slightly torn eyes frowning. But the whole thing was also flowing with ears, and it was definitely a pretty face.

“Seung Yun, don't be so angry. Huh? Talk to me... ”

And the man on the left, calming down, had a distinct impression of the woman on the right. Appearance and appearance are not unusual. However, his calm eyes and slightly low but calm voice were somehow revealing a calm inner voice.

In particular, I was strongly impressed that it was good at first sight. Unlike Ansol's bluntness, I felt a sense of ignorance.

Anyway, it seemed like a difficult situation to talk to, but I wasn't in any position to cover it up now.

Mercenary is a highly recognizable clan. So he knows exactly where he is. If you're lucky, you'll get something to eat.

I felt that way, I gently exhaled and approached two users.

“I…. ”

“I don't want to give you a dime, so get lost. ”

And as soon as I tried to speak quietly, the right woman, who had spilled me out until then, immediately hung up on me. And he mumbles in an unpleasant tone.

The moment I heard that, I felt more ridiculous than angry. Don't you know my face? No, it's night.

“Ha Seung Yoon!”

Suddenly, the man on the left shouted in an angry voice. Ha Seung Yun, nice name. You have to remember.

“Why!”

“What are you talking about! ”

“Oh, you don't know how to pretend? Give me a penny now... ”

“Again, again! Are you sure you don't want to be careful? ”

“ ……. ”

“You fool. Everyone in this city right now... ”

The man who suddenly said that he was stuffy looked at me and leaned down his head.

“I'm so sorry. If you're offended, I sincerely apologize. ”

“No, thanks. I just have one question for you. ”

I slowly walked across my head. Then the brighter man smiled and nodded his head.

“Nothing else, but do you know the Mercenary Clan? ”

“The Mercenary Clan? Yes, of course I do. I don't know... ”

“Then can you tell me what city the Mercenary Clan is located in? ”

“Wait. Why do you ask? ”

The answer came from a woman, not a man.

I wonder if they don't like radishes that much. The woman looked at me with her arrogant arms wrapped around her. Did he say "Seung Yoon"?

“I'm a member of the Mercenary Clan. ”

I said the most formal thing I could say in my current situation.

I was just about to reveal myself, but I don't think it's a good choice to speak up first. Of course, I couldn't help but have to consider the situation that was going on. I mean, I didn't know how things were going while I was gone, so I decided it would be best to conceal my identity as much as possible.

“… an official? ”

Ha Seung Yoon tilted his head.

“Seungyun, I'll talk to you.... ”

The man left quickly, but Seung Yun did not get pushed away this time. He repels the man and looks at me with suspicious eyes.

“That's ridiculous. You're a mercenary and you don't know where your clan is? ”

... Oh my. But you're not very stupid, are you?

“Seung Yoon, what's wrong with you? What do you care? ”

“Hold still, brother. I'm very suspicious of them. And walking around at this hour.... What's that on your back? ”

“We're wandering around. And maybe he's not a clan man, or maybe he's a duck just like us... ”

“No. They're not duck eggs. The Mercenary Clan didn't let any outside users in this time. Don't you remember? ”

“That's …. ”

“Aren't they the ones who sneaked in? Or a bunch of vagrant bastards. ”

The man looked troubled to see if he had nothing to say to the nonsense of Seung Yoon's logic.

“I'm on my way to see you. ”

He turned to me in the eyes of the man and Ha Seung Yoon.

“You got something to do? At this hour?”

“Yes, I told you I'm an official. ”

Hae Seung Yun glanced at me with a smile and said confidently. However, he soon noticed that he looked at me with a dismissive look and was ridiculed by words.

“Wha...! ”

“Aaaah! Stop it. Let me tell you. The Mercenary Clan is not in this city. You'll have to go through the west tunnel and into the new city. ”

“Brother! Are you crazy? I know who they are...! ”

“Be quiet. I have an idea. ”

I was curious about the idea, but I thought it would be better to get out while these two users do not recognize me.

“The west tunnel. Can you tell which neighborhood it is exactly? ”

“It's simple. Follow the tunnel, and you'll find yourself in what looks like a central square. Find the nicest building around. ”

The man gave me something detailed and vague. But I also found out that I asked for more details and I wanted to know anyway.

“I see. Thank you for telling me. ”

So I just wanted to say hi and take a quick walk.

Glug glug!

Suddenly, the sound of boiling belly rang to my ears. The silence around you makes sure you hear it, and both the man and the woman shine a bright light at the same time. The murderer of the sound buries his head on my back while examining my neck.

I turned around, smiling bitterly at the man.

“I'm so sorry. Do you have anything to eat? ”

“Yes? ”

The man blinks with a face of embarrassment.

“A simple trick would be fine. ”

“Oh, brother.... ”

Kim Hanbyol called me with a pitiful voice that sounded like he was going to die. I wanted to take a moment to look over my shoulder and open the bag that I was holding.

Hae Seung Yun sighed deeply after expressing his absurd expression.

“Phew. I don't know anymore. Whatever happens, it's on you!... Tsk.”

Then he kicks his tongue once and starts walking swiftly.

The man glanced at Seung Yoon for a moment, then hurriedly handed out the bread from his bag.

“I'm sorry. This is all I have left. ”

“Thank you."

I felt sorry for the loss of food on the man's face for a moment, but I put down my sack and quickly received it. First, we have to live.

“Well, then! ”

Later, the man lowered his head and ran toward the direction where he had walked.

As I watched the man's back grow further and further away, I lifted the bread toward my shoulder.

“Hanbyol, eat this. ”

“ ……. ”

“It doesn't look good. But you have to eat it, otherwise it's even harder. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Hanbyol slowly accepted the bread. At the same time, I felt a slight tremor on my back. I didn't hear anything, but for some reason, I felt like Kim Han-suh was biting his mouth tightly.

“Chew all you want. Don't eat quickly because you're hungry. ”

I picked up the sack I put down earlier. Then he began to move in the direction that the man had pointed out.

‘By the way, I didn't even ask him his name. ’

*

How long has it been?

After separating from the two men and women earlier, Gimhanbyol didn't say a word. I don't know why. However, Kim Hanbyol did not say much even though he found the tunnel that the man told him about and went into a new city after passing it. I would have asked you a long time ago what was going on here, maybe there was a change in your heart.

Of course, I was able to clearly understand what the man said at one time, as I used to mainly play Atlanta. It's because he knew what the tunnel meant. What's a tunnel? 'I would have been more strongly suspicious there.

Anyway.

Well, well.

“Gulp... I think it's here. ”

After chewing the piece of bread in my mouth exactly 50 times, I carefully swallowed it and opened my mouth.

“Isn't that right, Hanbyol? ”

I asked again, but Kim Hanbyol did not react. I just stumbled onto another piece of bread that was torn apart without saying a word. I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed a piece of bread without hesitation.

In front of him was a building that looked similar to an inn. Inside, there was nothing but static. It seems that everyone is sleeping because of the time zone.

Looking at the quiet inn, I felt the need to correct the idea of a man's words earlier. Because it was exactly what the man said.

In the square, walking down the tunnel and down the road, it really looks good. ’There was only one building that could be said. That was the inn.

‘I think I've seen some hands.... You mean here, anyway? ’

I looked around again just in case.

‘Well, I'm sure. ’

After confirming that almost all of the buildings were collapsing, I turned my gaze to the inn. And I took a satisfied walk to the place where I could see through the door. The fact that it was located in a central part of a city, too, was because at least it wasn't pushed outside while I was away.

“Hanbyol, shall we go inside? ”

I spoke as if he were an adult and calming voice.

“ ……. ”

Indeed, Gimhanbyol did not open his mouth. But this time, instead of bread, he nodded his head instead. That's why I feel like Kim Han-sul is really a child.

‘Anyway, this isn't bad. ’

I liked the initial response So I was able to get there before the emptiness grew exponentially, remembering what it was the first time I kicked it, and standing still, is truly the development of a patriarch.

After praising myself like that, I carefully pushed the door down thinking that I was finally close. The door slams open unexpectedly, without resistance.

After a while.

I slowly walked toward the open door.

And then I looked inside the salmonella.

“… Huh? ”

“… Huh? ”

I had no choice but to stop walking.
