Chapter 8

Episode 2 – Protagonist (3)

I stared straight into Lee Hyunsung and Han Myungoh's eyes and said.

"Do you want to die from that guy beyond the iron door or do you want to try your luck outside the train? Which one will you choose?"

"U-Uh..."

"Dokja-ssi, is there any guarantee that the person beyond the iron door is an enemy?"

The Steel Sword appeared at the crucial moment. There was a reason why Lee Hyunsung couldn't be leader of a party.

"Since they are coming from another carriage, it is likely to be a survivor. If we meet..."

I looked at the bloody room instead of continuing. Lee Hyunsung followed my gaze and quietly spoke.

"...I was too careless. Let's find a way out."

"G-Go! Go quickly!"

At this moment, both people were aware. The other survivors of the carriages would've gone through the same thing as them. They wouldn't have the good luck of finding 'insects.'

"This is broken!"

"Damn, we can't go this way!"

While listening to Lee Hyunsung and Han Myungoh's cries, I also checked the doors. There were no more barriers so the doors could now be touched.

Apart from the doors connecting the passageways, there were a total of eight access doors on the subway. There were three exits that hadn't been confirmed yet.

Kung!

The iron door seemed like it could barely hold on for one minute.

Despite being the main character, I didn't think he would have such high strength in the beginning. I was honestly surprised that he could break such a thick iron door.

"Dokja-ssi! Here―"

I found a working manual switchgear.

"No!"

The opening and closing device worked smoothly but the door didn't open at once. They door opened around one fifth before stopping like it was jammed.

"...It seems to be broken here as well."

"How about other places?"

"This seems to be the only place where we can escape."

It was unknown for a child. But the gap was too narrow for men and women to escape. Han Myungoh and Lee Hyunsung tried to pull the doors open but they didn't move a bit.

[Coins Possessed: 4700 C]

One of the uses of the coins was to raise overall stats. I had already used 2,700 coins to make my stamina level 10.

This problem could be resolved if I used the remaining coins to enhance my strength. But it wasn't wise to use the coins when the situation was unknown.

In the end, there was only one way.

"Lee Hyunsung-ssi. Use a skill."

"Huh? "Skill..."

I quietly activated Character List.

[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated.]
