I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 173
Episode 174
Well, I guess I’ve become a bit more sensitive these days because I’ve heard that monsters are appearing everywhere.
The moment Assistant Manager Kim smiled awkwardly and nodded, the siren rang loudly again.
Dear citizens, this warning is a real situation. Please quickly evacuate to the nearest underground evacuation facility. As of 18:11, an emergency system has been issued for the entire Seoul city. We ask all citizens to quickly move to nearby underground shelters or indoors to prepare for an attack. This alert is real.
The people in the park immediately fell into a state of panic at the ensuing broadcast.
However, perhaps because there was no clear threat in sight, he remained calm.
“Have monsters appeared in Seoul too?”
“Are they nearby now?”
“I need to tell you which direction the monster is! “Where should I go?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to take the subway?”
“It takes 20 minutes to walk to the subway from here? Should I just go to the park restroom?”
“It doesn’t look like anyone is moving, so maybe this place is okay?”
“That’s right. If something had happened, it would have already been a mess.”
“That monster flew in from overseas. This is Seoul. How can it fly all the way here?”
“I know. “At most, only a few came.”
As each person eating began to say something, the soup kitchen was immediately engulfed in commotion.
However, not a single person was actually moving and all they were saying was something like ‘Is this real?’
“uh? Hey there! Look over there. “There’s something over there!”
A huge blue-green jellyfish was slowly wandering around the city, slowly moving its tentacles.
Everyone was watching blankly, forgetting to be surprised by a scene that seemed like something out of a surrealist painting.
The tentacles were so long that the jellyfish’s cap suddenly rose above a 10-story building.
“It’s not even the sea, so what kind of seafood…”
The moment someone muttered that, several tentacles of the jellyfish moved leisurely and grabbed cars on the road.
And without even realizing what was happening, the cars were heading in all directions. I threw it in.
Boom!
There was a brain-shattering explosion sound and flames erupted everywhere.
People suddenly started yelling and screaming as if they had woken up from the shock.
Some even ran blindly in the opposite direction from the jellyfish.
“Get on.” ! Get in here!”
Deputy Director Shin was the first to come to his senses and gathered people in the space behind the food truck.
Among those who could run, those who were fast had already gone somewhere, but those who were limping or in wheelchairs did not know what to do
. Deputy Director Shin’s hand gesture was like a rope of salvation.
“Deputy Kim, help us get on board! We can throw away everything inside, so we have to burn as many as possible!”
After shouting that, Deputy Director Shin began to throw all the luggage that was previously loaded in the back of the car onto the floor.
Assistant Manager Kim also moved around hurriedly, taking care of people who could not walk. Although
he wanted to put as many people on board as possible, the small space in Bob’s car was quickly filled with people. The
remaining people were trying to get inside somehow and get on the car, but they were startled by a series of explosions and started to scatter in all directions and run away.
“Get on board, Assistant Manager Kim!”
Deputy Director Shin sat in the driver’s seat first, followed by Assistant Manager Kim in the passenger seat.
Pulling on his seatbelt, Assistant Manager Kim nervously asked,
“Where are you going?”
“Subway. I’m going to drive and drop these people off at the subway.”
“If it’s a subway, it’s in that direction, but you’re saying it’s going to go through those monsters?”
I don’t know when it appeared, but monsters were appearing one after another on the street and massacring people. They
looked like they were running wild, not even handing over cars.
Deputy Director Shin nodded slowly, biting his molars tightly.
“I have to go. But I’ll just turn around a bit. The monster is over there.” “It appears from , so if you drive in the opposite direction and turn around, you won’t run into many people.”
“I hope so.”
Deputy Director Shin stepped on the accelerator strongly.
It was a situation that could not be delayed even for a moment.
I don’t know where they came from, but the number of monsters was increasing.
It was as if I had entered a dungeon again.
“In front of Deputy Director Shin!”
A monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of an octopus suddenly fell in front of the truck.
Deputy Director Shin urgently changed direction.
The sound of wheels scraping against the road resonated sharply, and the smell of burning rubber was in the air.
“Wow!”
“I got crushed here!”
“Ahh!”
As the driver drove rough, a shout came from the person in the back of the truck.
When monsters started targeting cars, many people abandoned their cars and ran away.
As a result, the roads were congested in many places and it was impossible to drive properly.
Deputy Director Shin turned the steering wheel roughly and invaded the sidewalk.
And then I started running across the park.
Well-maintained flower beds and lawns were being dug up, but no one was paying attention to such things in this situation.
In Director Shin’s mind, the only thought was that he had to find the safest route.
“Is it good? Smoothly like this…”
Boom!
The moment Assistant Manager Shin, who saw hope in the truck running without hesitation, spoke brightly, a strong shock hit the truck. The
body of the car tilted on the precipice of collapsing, but barely came to a standstill with a thud. A
person in fear from behind A scream erupted,
“Conductor, left! Left!”
When I heard Deputy Kim’s scream and looked at the side mirror, I saw something that looked like a huge grasshopper clinging to the truck.
Other monsters were also arriving one after another. When the
clinging grasshopper hit the truck hard with its head, the wall of the car caved in and people fell inside. A scream erupted:
“Kwaaaaaaa!”
“I just want to get off! Let me get off!”
“Wow, what! “What!”
Deputy Director Shin closed his eyes tightly.
I just hoped that the people in the back weren’t seriously hurt.
Conductor Shin’s eyes were busy again, looking for a way to drive somewhere.
Assistant Manager Kim’s trembling voice flew into her ears.
“Deputy Cha Cha. There are too many… too many monsters.”
Assistant Manager Kim’s voice was already half-crying.
The monsters were now trying to gnaw and tear the cargo wall at the back of the truck in earnest.
The screaming coming from inside was to them the song of an interesting toy. It felt like a sound:
“Please, please! Please!”
Deputy Director Shin desperately stepped on the accelerator. The engine idled and groaned fiercely.
And at that moment, a grasshopper tore through the cargo wall.
The torn off body pieces fell to the ground with a dull sound.
“Waaaaaaaaaa!”
“It’s a monster monster!”
“Help me! Argh wow wow!”
People who were defenselessly exposed to the monster screamed.
Deputy Director Shin, who was watching the scene from close range, did not feel alive. He
could only step on the accelerator hard in resentment.
But the car did not budge.
And at that moment, it clung to the cargo. The monster flew away as if it had been hit by something.
Deputy Director Shin, in surprise, saw the one-armed citizen who had been receiving food earlier.
His only arm was shining brightly.
“Was that person a hunter?”
Assistant Manager Kim shouted in surprise, but there was no reply.
The one-armed hunter shouted harshly,
“Hurry and step on it! All the way to the subway! I knocked off the guy holding the wheel!”
Deputy Director Shin had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he started driving.
Now was the time to go.
“Damn it.”
The one-armed hunter was a hunter who belonged to the alliance between Seohu Ban and Eundam Yoo.
After becoming like this, he demanded compensation and was blacklisted by the Daehan Guild, unable to go anywhere. Seohu Cha became disillusioned with
the world and wandered around like a vagabond. He listened to what he said and joined in.
Until now, Korea was safe and there was nothing to do, but he was satisfied with it.
However, the news he had been hearing for some time had made him anxious, so he was mingling with the people and observing the situation.
Whenever possible , he was watching the situation. “ I hoped it wouldn’t come, but
there are so many of them.”
One hurdle was overcome, but the monsters were becoming more and more numerous.
The truck started running again and eventually stopped again after passing about halfway through the park. There
were so many monsters blocking the way that it was impossible to do anything.
“About 500.” “It’s just a meter away, damn it.”
He spat phlegm roughly and got out of the truck.
The people remaining in the car looked at him nervously, wondering if he might run away alone.
He ignored the gazes that felt crowded behind him and focused on the monsters in front of him. If
there were that many of them, it would be impossible to get there by car.
But getting off and running was completely suicidal.
“I’m not running away alone, so don’t look at me like that.”
He took out a bottle of magic recovery potion from his inventory, drank it, and cast the skill again.
This potion was also provided by Banseohu.
I wanted to save it as much as possible since I couldn’t receive a few, but I guess I’ll have to use it today.
“I don’t know how long I can last. …”
A monster rushed towards him as he muttered.
A bluish fist stretched out from his hand and struck the monster.
Then one more and one more.
He shouted as if he was struggling while frantically dealing with the monster.
“Damn it, apply here! “What am I supposed to do by myself!”
After nervously chewing half of the fruit, he began to urgently contact someone again.
“Please apply here on Olympic-daero next to Jamsil Station! There are so many dogs! what? Is that urgent too? No, tell the damn anti-Seohu or whatever strong bastards to come! It’s crazy here! Are you saying we’re on the same side? They told us to ask for help if something like this happens, but where are they? Damn it!”
A similar clamor came back from the other side.
Cold sweat entered his eyes and made them sting, but he couldn’t even blink.
If you look away even for a moment, you will die immediately.
Then, the civilians behind them would also be massacred.
I was out of breath.
He wasn’t the type to cry easily, but facing this situation made him feel like he was going to cry.
I had a movement scroll in my inventory, but I couldn’t bring myself to use it because people were looking at me earnestly.
“It’s the last magic potion, damn it.”
He emptied the bottle of potion again and used his skills as if struggling.
To begin with, his skill level was low and his magic efficiency was poor, so he got tired right away after a few shots, but he held on with all his might.
In the end, his energy was completely exhausted to the point that the monster could not retreat even if he used the skill.
Now it was really a mixed bag.
If the skill doesn’t work, I’ll have to use my teeth.
“Come on you bastards! I have nothing, so I have no regrets! “Kill them, you bastards!”
The moment he was about to throw himself away, a voice full of joy came from headquarters.
“hey! “Get an executive!”
His eyes widened at the unbelievable words.
Are you really coming?
Banseohu?
Or Eundam Yoo?
But what arrived was someone he had never expected.
Due to the appearance of Nioh Sonmoa, you will be affected by ‘Status Abnormality: Intimidation’.
A system message came to mind.
