Honestly, it wasn't just Jung Ha-Yan, but Kim Hyun-Sung as well. Whatever the reason was, there was a good possibility that this strong man once saw the end of the world. He knew everything that was going to happen and he seemed to have the will to change and use that future for his own agenda.

If I were to borrow the words from a fantasy novel, he was like a chosen warrior. There wasn't a reason for me to maintain a bad relationship with him.

'Lucky bastard.'

I wasn't jealous of the burdens he carried on his back but the things that he was going to obtain and use from now on. It was a rather clear fact that he would be climbing up in the future.

I thought it would be best for us to obtain as much as we could, while we had the chance.

"How much farther do we have to go? Are you sure we're going the right way?" Park Deok-Gu asked.

"Yes, we're almost there," Kim Hyun-Sung answered.

Park Deok-Gu mumbled with dissatisfaction and Kim Hyun-Sung gave a small nod to show that they could keep moving. It was strangely interesting that he was cautious while looking around. He was definitely watching out for the monsters.

His stats right now weren't that high. While it was true that he was in an advantageous position because he had attributes, a job, and magic stats, I doubt that he would be able to do anything much if monsters swarmed us from all directions.

'That's probably why he couldn't protect it.'

If that was possible, then no one would've died at the starting point.

"More than that, it seems like a lot more people survived than I expected. I thought the majority of them died..." Park Deok Gu said.

"Honestly, we could've saved more. I lost my composure too at first, so I had a difficult time facing them. If there were more people that could fight..." Kim Hyun-Sung explained.

"Well, I was in the same situation. All I did was run away...if it wasn't for hyung-nim, I would've died already. Are all 30 people from the starting point?" Park Deok-Gu asked.

"Oh! Not really. It seemed like there was a starting point at a different location as well. The place was a bit far from where we were..." Kim Hyun-Sung answered.

"Ugh...I guess we weren't the only ones that came here," Park Deok-Gu commented.

"Yes, but if we broaden our search scope, I'm sure we'll receive good news. The search party has been finding traces of people little by little," Kim Hyun-Sung said.

I wasn't sure what he meant by good news.

"Are you thinking about finding more survivors?" Park Deok-Gu asked.

"I believe we definitely should if circumstances allow us to," Kim Hyun-Sung answered confidently.

His eyes were telling the truth.

I guess it wasn't a lie when the word, kind-hearted, was included in his nature. There was no way I could know the details, but it seemed like he wanted to save and survive with everyone, which made my head hurt.

'This guy...'

I had an idea how the survivor camp was being managed.

"You don't look so good. I-Is something the matter?" Jung Ha-Yan asked.

I must've looked slightly unwell because Jung Ha-Yan asked while studying my face.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something..." I answered her.
