that variable. It was completely unthinkable for me.

Us heading towards the central processing unit. There were beings who caught us like that.

[If you go there now, you will die! Come here!]

It’s a bizarre voice to be called upbringing. It was like talking machine language, but I heard a strange language that I could understand.

This may have been the case with my teammates as well, everyone stopped following me and stopped walking.

“Me, what is that?”

“They are completely different beings from before!?”

Then, I looked at the person who had spit out the bizarre language.

He had protruded through part of the floor, exposing only the upper half of his body.

Half of the exposed upper body was a machine.

The other half had human bodies similar to ours.

The problem was its shape.

Half of the body was more grotesque than anything else.

As if encroaching on the human body, the machine was attached.

Meanwhile, where there should have been one arm, there were three.

Also, instead of human pupils, the eyes looking at us were embedded with mechanical eyeballs, emitting red light.

“Aren’t they enemies!?”

“It looks like we’re cheating… … !? Captain, let’s ignore it and go!”

It was clear that even the team members felt bizarre.

Although the author clearly came out to help us.

Perhaps because of his bizarre appearance, he didn’t feel like helping, but only felt like an enemy.

It was the same for me too.

That’s why, as soon as I saw it, I would have crushed it before I could even open my mouth.

Their outward appearance is

Koo-woo-kung-

It was no different from those who came running from behind to kill us.

The mechanical body that occupied half of the body also resembled the enemies.

but.

‘I have experience.’

I have a different experience from them. There are memories in that experience.

When I found this place a long time ago.

『Yubora, more than anyone else, regretted that there were no survivors.

After clearing the central locker and finding their bodies.

The regret was greater than before.

“It’s a shame. Had the people in here been alive, the outcome would have been different.”

It wasn’t because of useless pity.

The reason was clear.

because of the difference in results.

“What results?”

“I could have made better use of this place.”

“Use it… … .”

“It wasn’t just a simple shelter like it is now, it must have been more than that? So it has to be a waste.”

If only they had survived and not been killed by the machine.

It was because of the regret that the survivors here might have made better results.

The regret at that time was quite great.

The more the void descended, the greater the regret.

It was because the dungeons we had to deal with were getting bigger and bigger, and there were very few survivors in them.

It was more like that every time I saw a space where everyone died without a single survivor.

Because it felt like everyone was dead talking about our future.

So I said it without hiding the bluntness that came out of nowhere.

“no way. Even if he is alive, isn’t there any guarantee that he will definitely be on our side?”

Even if they are alive, there is no guarantee that they will be on our side.

Rather, it was the logic that depending on the degree of liking, it could become an enemy.

Yu-Bah has a rational personality.

I thought I could convince her with that.

However, the answer that came back every time was quite unexpected.

“That’s up to you. we can do it well Isn’t that right, Hanhui?”

“is it?”

“huh. That’s it.”

Unbeknownst to her, she said something that believed in me and us.

Regardless of the logic, it was Yoo Bora who said that we could do well.”

I can’t forget Bora’s expression like that.

It will be like that in the future.

Is that why?

I felt it was easy to make a decision.

“Please guide me somewhere.”

[yes?]

“Please guide me to the path of not dying.”

[Ah, yes!]

survivor.

decided to follow.

* * *

I made the decision to follow the survivors.

‘I’m not vigilant.’

I had absolutely no intention of believing it.

This inside is a fragmented world.

The higher the rank, the larger the size of the dungeon I have to deal with.

In other words, the size of the fragmented world has increased.

The size of the largest city now that the rating has not reached 100.

There were many times when the grade exceeded 100, and there were many small countries that were larger than cities.

Even if such a world is fragmented, there is no other way to describe it other than that it is also huge.

Isn’t it?

Suppose a normal human lives his life.

It is said that only now that it has reached modern times, it is said that it goes here and there as a travel destination.

Except for such special cases, most people live where they were born.

Especially now that the monster crisis happened.

Because moving itself consumes more resources and mental strength than you think.

Anyway, for that reason.

‘Even at the city level, it’s safe to say it’s a completely different world.’

This is another world soon.

And the inhabitants of other worlds are inevitably different than is usually imagined.

It’s language, but the ‘system’ makes corrections.

This is because the culture, way of life, and social structure itself are often quite different.

Well, in a word.

‘The fact that the kids here are showing goodwill means that it might look like hostility rather than goodwill.’

It is very hard to believe because it is so different.

These differences are also annoying, but other things come into play.

Demons, demons, or mental contamination.

Staying in a fragmented world for a long time will stain your mind.

on the bad side rather than the good side.

Even survivors who were nice at first turn black.

Sometimes, the first time I entered a dungeon, the guy who treated me more than anyone else would attack me like an enemy the next time.

I’ve experienced this, believe me?

‘It could be.’

I can’t believe it even if I want to believe it.

Conversely, team members.

“and… … . Are there any places like this in the dungeon?”

“There are more survivors than I thought?”

“Oh oh… … . It is a different civilization. You will see all of this.”

A place where survivors live.

He was surprised to see the shelter prepared underground and expressed admiration.

Rather than admiring the new civilization, you should see what is hidden behind it.

-Hanhui, look over there. Batteries of cannons are pointing at you.

‘know.’

Unfortunately, only the Devil, Isaiah, and Mari noticed that.

Well, they’re also pointing their gun barrels at us. understanding goes.

It’s not that he wants to oppose us, it’s because he thinks of an unexpected situation. I brought them at best, but if we attack them again, it won’t work.

However, the reason why they brought us was that they also brought us to live.

What are you talking about?

[oh… … ! New people after a long time! It’s been two years by the standards of that world!]

[I finally brought the one that was being chased!]

[Good job!]

Natives and survivors of this fragmented world.

They needed us to live.

[Could you please do us a favor?]

“If you ask me… … ?”

[That’s the end.]

The need was both simple and difficult.

[Factory of Dead Perdition: A survivor is trying to proceed with a request to you.]

It was because he was asking for help in the form of a request recognized by the system.

* * *

———————————————

[Regeneration of the Factory of the Dead]

A factory of destruction that only wants death.

The survivors there are asking you to regenerate.

– Destruction of Survivor Hostile Forces

-Regenerate survivor’s home

-Rescue isolated survivors

– Recovery of critical survivors

-Survivor material support

———————————————

The first quest I received after returning.

It is also long.

In fact, you don’t have to do all of this. can’t even do it

Rescuing an isolated survivor with stupid words?

There are cases where I die as soon as I receive a quest.

I’m messing around, but this isn’t a game, it’s real life.

Even if the game seems impossible, if it only looks like it on the outside, but in reality it can be achieved.

The reality is the opposite.

‘The system is relentless.’

Things that can never be broken are bound to enter the quest.

Therefore, beating the quest requires some kind of recognition.

[Would you accept it?]

An old man begging in front of me.

From what I heard, the person called the elder of this survivor’s home must acknowledge the completion of the quest.

It means that even if you fail to keep some points, you must do your best.

Well, don’t force it.

It seems that the ‘system’ steps in and imposes a penalty if the other side is forced to hold the quest hostage.

It must be that the system sees its own balance.

In my opinion, the balance is very poor.

Anyway, that’s the quest in this dungeon.

‘It’s been a while.’

The first quest you received after returning.

I couldn’t help but feel that I had grown up again.

The feeling itself is not bad.

however.

The person in front of me was misunderstanding.

“well. You wondered if I really needed to do this?”

[…] … what?]

“I don’t have to do quests. Don’t drive the mood like that.”

[…] … her. What are you talking about… … .]

‘Would you accept it?’ Look at the arrogant posture of asking.

that this quest

Newbies who receive it for the first time receive it and watch it.

I don’t even look back and forth.

‘It’s not even funny.’

If other humans on Earth ask for help or something, they will snort rather than accept it. They are the Hunters.

Some people say they’ve heard nonsense and resort to violence.

When such people come to this dungeon, they are easily accepted.

I don’t know if that would be beneficial.

In fact, it’s not like there’s no benefit at all.

Everything done in the dungeon is recorded in the system.

If you complete the quest, because of those records, you will grow bigger than before.

but.

Wouldn’t it be funny to say that the rewards of the quest that you risk your life at most will help you grow a little.

‘That’s nonsense.’

So, I didn’t accept the quest right away.

This elder who doesn’t even know who is A or B.

It’s about to make Lee Ja grasp the reality first.

“I have no intention of accepting it unconditionally.”

[Then what do you mean?]

“There is a saying in our language. An eye for an eye, blood for blood.”

– Wasn’t it Lee?

‘shut up.’

So, did you really understand what I was saying?

The elder was silent for a moment.

There was no reason to allow him such a long time.

“Do you understand what that means?”

I asked. In response, the elder said.

[…] … I understand.]

Fortunately, my intention was understood.

Now, the real thing is next.

“It’s good that you understand quickly. Then, shouldn’t we have a deeper discussion from now on?”

[her… … .]

I had no intention of moving for free, so now I had to create the conditions for Lee to move me.
