Annoying
Annoying
[Finally crawled out...]
[Crazy construction-nut]
[LMAOOOOOOOO]
[Finally, free time]
[Am I the only one who finds construction fun?]
"There are definitely more people now."
They had been working for about 7 hours and finally managed to escape.
Of course, they didn't come out just to play.
"It's a good thing there was an expert over there, too."
"Yeah. I was surprised because the efficiency was much lower than I thought, but since the person holding the equipment had high proficiency, it worked out somehow."
They had come out to deliver equipment to the [Non-Cooperative] side.
Of course, since there was no work after this, it was effectively for play.
"But it was a bit of a distance, is that okay?"
15 minutes by roller, 5 minutes by car.
That was the travel time between the [Non-Cooperative] hideout, the high-grade construction site, and Saint Park.
Gang members seemed to patrol periodically, and even stay there, but compared to how [Non-Negotiable] blocked the dam construction, the defenses were incredibly lax.
Since they couldn't dispatch too many people, it ended up being just surveillance.
"It should be fine, right? They probably won't have the leeway to enter the [East] for a while."
"Is that so?"
If that's the case, then it is.
Nogada didn't bother asking and accepted it.
Just then, a group of people who had finished construction and were coming out spotted the two.
"This place definitely doesn't have many sites, but it's a gold mine... Huh?"
"Why are you acting like a dick all of a sudden? What's over there?"
The gazes of the group of about 8 people were fixed on the two at once.
"There is something. Over there, uh. What was it called? They said they were the big bosses of this area."
"Oh... It's [Sotongbulga]."
"Wow, they're actually here."
"Should we say hi?"
"We probably should. I heard the entire [East] is their turf."
They were more famous than they thought.
"Oh, masters. We heard you're the ones in charge here."
"We really like the toll here. It's reasonable, I'd say. The [West] is in total chaos right now because everyone's pissed off..."
"It's nothing, just saying hi if we run into each other while passing by."
Yulia and Nogada barely managed to get into the car while receiving countless requests for handshakes.
"Phew. There are a lot of people."
"It seems everyone who was going to cross over has crossed over."
"I know, right. The subsidy must have been huge."
"There must be no one in the [North]."
"There will be a few, though."
"Why bother?"
"Because there's a Tier 1 fishing spot there. And mining pays well once your proficiency gets high, and the Agricultural Cooperative is there too. Surprisingly, there's quite a bit of stuff."
"Oh... So it wasn't a low-level hunting ground."
"No way. It's a place where people live, too."
Nogada looked at the map and opened his mouth.
"But what do we do now?"
Since they had already rented out the dam construction to [Non-Negotiable] while taking a break, it was awkward to go back, and since they had given Ajura and Yui free time, it was also awkward to look for other construction sites.
"Hmm... Shall we go to the sea?"
"The sea... that's the [West]."
"Yeah. Actually, we've only moved around the [South] and [East], but we haven't been to the [West]. Shall we go while we're at it?"
Mukgom pondered for a moment.
Wouldn't it be better to experience other jobs while they were at it?
Earning a bit more money wouldn't be bad either.
He could go to the dam construction and demand two spots.
If that doesn't work, there's that McDoria...
No.
"Then let's do that."
"Yeah. Let's gooo."
"Let's go!"
[Finally going on a date]
[Hehehehe]
[It took so long]
[Sea date, classic]
[Nice]
On the way driving the car over to the [West].
"What's that over there?"
"Hmm... It's a manpower office. Ah! It looks like gangs are collecting tolls."
"Ah, is that the toll? Well, look at that. They're beating them up."
"They said the [West] was noisy right now, and it definitely looks that way."
"Hmm."
"Why? Does it bother you?"
"No, not really. Aren't those gangs?"
"No. I meant, like, feeling sorry for the citizens."
"Not really that either. They'll figure it out themselves."
Nogada clicked his tongue lightly and turned his eyes away.
This wasn't just Nogada's thought.
"You have to take care of yourself."
[As expected of Nogada-haem]
[Refreshing]
[Just go our way]
[We're on a date, why help?]
[Don't block the road, get out of the way!!]
"Right? I think so too. Shall we go see the sea?"
"Yeah."
They left the wailing of the citizens behind and headed for the beach.
No, they tried to leave it behind.
If they hadn't seen the neon vests wrapped around their clothes.
"Hmm."
ㅡScreeeech!
Tires scraped against the ground, burning and sending up smoke.
He still didn't feel sorry for them.
It's because neither Nogada nor Mukgom had that kind of personality.
But separate from that...
"Hmm."
Separate from that...
Amidst the smoke, Nogada, or Mukgom, continued his thoughts for a moment.
"Now that I think about it, it pisses me off. I'm killing them."
He stopped thinking.
This is Kim Jae-hyun's way, not Nogada's way.
There is a result before the reason.
That is Nogada.
Something doesn't sit right with me right now.
Then I ram into it.
It doesn't matter if I think about it later or not.
Be honest with my feelings and thoughts, act quickly.
Nogada turned the steering wheel and drifted.
It was an unexpected situation, but Yulia showed no signs of surprise.
"Are we really going for it?"
Yulia smiled brightly.
"I knew you would."
"Did I look that kind?"
"No? Aren't you just pissed off? When you see things like that... it's just pathetic. Doesn't it annoy you a bit? You're like me, so I thought you'd be similar."
Yulia said that much, paused for a moment, and laughed.
"No. Maybe we aren't alike? We're similar, but... I don't know. Shall we just ram into them first?"
"Hahahaha! Yeah, when your head is complicated, you just do it first!"
[Nice]
[Chad behavior]
[Crazy Builder-man and Builder-woman]
[What's with that laughter]
[Let's gooooo]
[Gotta protect the construction-jok]
[First time seeing Nogada-haem's tension this high]
"Killing them?!"
Yulia admired Nogada's refreshingly bold charge, more than she expected, and laughed along.
"Hehehe, let's kill them!"
"How dare these bastards mess with a diligent worker?"
Was it the aftermath of his long, long labor life?
Or just an innate rebellious psychology?
If not that, it could just be the reason that he literally hates the sight of them.
If it were Mukgom, he would have thought about this very deeply and acted only after finding his main stance.
Because acting without knowing one's own heart and motives is no different from excretion, and only by knowing oneself and acting can it be called a just action.
But Nogada didn't know such things.
He just rams into it first.
He doesn't know what it is, but his heart points there.
At the solar plexus of that cocky gang member.
ㅡVrooooom!!!
Nogada responded to his heart.
An inexplicable anger struck the gang.
"If you keep acting like this, I'll become a gangster too... What is thiiiis!!! Waaaaah!"
The SUV's characteristically wide front end rammed into the gang member.
"Yeeeey."
Leaving Yulia's excited shout behind, Nogada got out of the car.
Leaving behind the neon-vested citizen who was frozen, perhaps because the person in front of them had flown away, Nogada faced the gang member holding a tool.
"Who the hell are you!!!"
"Ugh..."
Leaving the gang member who was stuck in the wall and coughing behind, he, holding a knife, glared at the car and stepped forward.
"What, is it just two of you? And it doesn't look like the one inside is planning to get out... I was scared for nothing. You made a mistake, you bastard. You shouldn't have gotten out of the car!"
He said that and rushed in.
[Knife is a point...]
[Let's fight fair and square with fists!!]
[Are you a f*g? Holding a knife]
[Fair and square (rams with car)]
[Fair and square (ambushes)]
[It's King the Com style fair and square, got a problem?]
[If you have numerical superiority, an ambush is the most fair and square solution...]
[Revenge-demon William proves this]
Nogada's chat window, which already had a high volume of messages, boiled over.
It goes without saying, but it wasn't easy to beat a knife with bare hands.
Perhaps even more so than in reality.
Because there was no option to swat away or grab the hand holding the knife.
On top of that, the damage was brutal.
A knife graze on the arm was 30 base damage, and a stab to the stomach was at least 70.
If you got hit by a deep stab, you'd lose up to 95, which was effectively an instant death.
If he were wearing a stab-proof vest, it would be a bit less, but Nogada's current attire was the [Sotongbulga] uniform.
In short, one wrong stab and he would lose.
The knife the gang member held was a sashimi knife, a type of dagger, but whatever it was, it was obviously longer than bare fists.
"First time dealing with a knife."
"Die!!"
The first attack started with a weighted thrust; if it were a punch, it would be a straight.
Nogada checked by pulling back a bit excessively.
This is the knife work.
Having grasped the speed, Nogada approached in reverse.
The gang member's response toward him was another thrust.
Watching him, Nogada accelerated once again.
When holding a knife, a swing is a line attack, and a thrust is a point attack.
To avoid the former, you had to stop or retreat.
Because you can't avoid a mid-level swing by ducking.
But the latter.
"What...!"
You can catch a counter.
First, in time with the knife approaching, half a step to the side, slightly ducking and moving forward.
This opens up the opponent's chin.
If it were fist vs. fist, he would have to throw a jab first to break the guard, but the opponent had a knife.
Nogada threw an uppercut toward the wide-open chin of the opponent.
"Ugh..."
He's a gang member, so his fighting level is high.
Seeing the gang member only stiffen from the impact that would have downed a normal person, Nogada hit a liver shot with his remaining hand.
"Ugh."
The liver shot was also an attack with built-in stiffness; Nogada stabbed two strong attacks into the gang member's solar plexus and...
What, why is the stiffness already wearing off?
"Die!!!"
Stiffness twice, and it wears off this fast?
Did he dump everything into durability?
Nogada quickly abandoned his greed and stepped forward, passing the gang member.
As he moved and switched to third-person, he saw the opponent swinging the knife at thin air behind his back.
Mukgom laughed at the opponent's hasty response, more than he thought.
That changes things.
Nogada canceled the pre-inputted hook with a side step and took the opponent's back.
And a back choke.
In reality, he would be stabbed by the raised knife, but not here.
The only way to break a back choke was to pour out all your stamina.
The tool in his hand became an annoying decoration at that moment, acting as a weight that actually made stamina decrease faster.
Knowing this well, Nogada applied the back choke without hesitation.
"Alright, let's die."
[If it were Ajura, she wouldn't have been caught in that choke]
[Familiar composition]
[It's Ajura's revenge!!!]
[Ajura (victim)]
[It was a good sparring partner]
[Taste the back choke filled with Ajura's blood, sweat, and tears]
[How dare you flail around against bare hands?]
[You're going to lose stamina, lol]
[Let's die~ Let's die~]
