YM778.TV Chapter 46: Shelter (2)
The civilians moved about, working alongside the military personnel. Some of them had formed patrol teams while some were assisted the others with other minor tasks.
Then there were those using their specialized skills. They were crafting items or repairing other structures using the abilities awakened during the tutorial.
"Not bad," YuWon mumbled, looking out the window.
At first, he was skeptical, but once they arrived, he realized the major wasn\'t lying. They had been rescuing others from nearby areas.
I wonder if the people from the college are here too.
After the performance YuWon and Yeji did before the others, it would be troublesome for him if anyone from the college was there.
"You said you were from the technical college, right?" the major asked as the cars stopped.
"Yes."
"How come there weren\'t more of you together?"
"We got separated after the final boss fight," YuWon gave a definitive answer to not get bothered anymore.
"Hm... I shouldn\'t say this," the major sighed, ignoring the topic before. "But despite the organized structure you\'re seeing, it\'ll collapse soon."
YuWon raised an eyebrow, confused. The major saw him and shook his head before continuing.
"The supplies we have, are nothing compared to the number of survivors. That\'s why we were raiding the supermarkets. But in vain," he said. "Eventually, everyone will realize it and it\'ll cause problems for us."
YuWon didn\'t need another hint. He already knew what the major wanted to say. In his eyes, most people in the base were just dead weights. That\'s why he was searching for powerful people who wouldn\'t think twice about doing what needed to be done when the time came.
He might have liked me using my sword on that soldier... wait, that sounds wrong.
Before they could chat more, a lady came running towards the major. She had brown hair and mesmerizing green eyes, something that the soldiers around seemed to be infatuated with.
"Brother, you\'re back!" she said, hugging the major. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Yeji\'s eyes shone when she saw the girl acting towards her brother. She glanced at YuWon as if she was making a mental note of how to take care of him.
"I\'m fine, Yuna, don\'t worry about me," the major replied, flicking the young lady\'s head.
Yuna smiled and turned towards YuWon and the gang. "You brought some new guests. Welcome! It\'s not much, but it is safer than the outside."
Despite Yuna\'s sweet demeanor, YuWon could see right through her. He had met girls like her before and knew their true nature of being a leech.
The major might not know it, or maybe he did, but didn\'t want to think about it. Yuna was an opportunist. The only reason she was being sweet to everyone was because she probably knew about the shortage of resources.
When the time came, she would use her kindness to win people over and get whatever she needed, whether it was food or something else.
But that\'s no reason to be rude to her.
YuWon smiled and introduced everyone.
"Yeji and Gina, wow, you are so pretty!" Yuna grabbed both of their hands. "Let\'s do our best to survive this hell."
"...sure," Yeji replied, no longer taking notes on Yuna\'s interactions.
Once the introductions were done, Yuna went back to the major to talk about a few things about the base and preparing a barrier. Since they were talking in hushed tones, YuWon couldn\'t get what they were talking about, but Gina did.
The more they talked, the deeper Gina frowned. As expected, the brother-sister duo was hiding something. But as much as YuWon wanted to know what, he would have to wait and ask Gina about it later.
Once they finished talking, the major departed with the soldiers, leaving Yuna to guide them through the base.
"Come on! I\'ll show you people around," she said, grabbing YuWon\'s hand.
But the moment she touched him, a strange prompt appeared before him.

YuWon looked at the pendant hanging on his neck. But he had no recollection of putting it on. In fact, he vividly remembered throwing it into his inventory, but somehow it had ended up around his neck.
Wait, that\'s not the important thing. I can see other people\'s stats?
It didn\'t take long for YuWon to realize the unfair advantage he had over people now. Although the pendant wasn\'t perfect, it was better than nothing.
Unfortunately, he didn\'t notice the deadly glares Gina was shooting at him. While he was busy staring at the prompt and smiling, the other saw something different. They saw Yuna holding his hand, and him smiling like an idiot.
"Husband..." Gina whispered, snapping YuWon out of his trance. "What are you doing?"
Only then did YuWon realize what was happening and pull his arm away.
"Gina… uh, it\'s not what you think!" he hurriedly said whatever came to his mind. But Gina didn\'t reply and turned her head away from him.
"Oh my," Yuna covered her mouth, acting all shy. "I didn\'t know you were married! What have I done? Sister, don\'t get angry at him. It\'s my fault for being careless."
Just shut up before you make things worse for me...
