    “Ah, so… it’s dangerous, so I shouldn’t go in?”088c6d295c4ef4ae

    Yohan quickly caught on to the warning and changed direction. After attempting to enter three different buildings, he was finally “allowed” to go inside one. Gripping his backpack strap tightly, he stepped in and carefully swept his flashlight around.b7f16099c18547a8

    The interior was 39719f12bd practically a ruin.

    Muttering to himself, 23dc2ca933 Yohan opened a 457cf20e8e drawer, only to 636a587f99 find a pile 48093738c4 of documents so 7d44450243 weathered they were d148f3e287 practically dust. He stepped 8b8bf94f13 back outside. He needed 19ddc1a559 to find 308f0be2db buildings that 77d922cdca had fallen 4f7c1d768e into the e29afbad0b Abyss with 5b481e64ef him.f1b6757b5f59622e

    He considered asking Hyunmook, c40fc8877a but the man was c0cd92f475 just humming to himself, 966866ae63 so Yohan had no 3c6d07748e choice but to search 527b4a05aa on foot. After three hours, he b169f8f280 finally spotted something familiar.95d7d6ada173917f

    The remains of the giant eyeball monster Hyunmook had obliterated were still there, its tears streaming down in long, river-like trails. He recalled Hyunmook’s advice when he was still sane: “Water mostly comes from monsters’ eyes.” But when it came to food, the only advice he’d gotten was a vague “Eat whatever seems edible.”fb71a34e0bb9fdf2

    Aside from 026c240f5a the bloody d923e7c73c tinge, the 853e602dc6 tears looked 9c2971a3be clear.

Heart leaping with 7904f53c15 hope, Yohan sprinted e81409ee15 toward it. Hyunmook followed lazily, his 1294f0569d gaze fixed on him.d1b49d65d2d13aa8

    The refrigerated and frozen a06dd01383 meals had rotted, filling 6130c29566 the air with a 5cf12009e7 foul stench, but the f3499a3979 rest of the stock 759bd794a4 seemed intact. Probably because there were 5fdf2cd64b no other survivors around 681dfc74c8 to scavenge. Fighting back his 7309b7a38e sinking mood, Yohan a1a84b8f5a started stuffing canned 0448f91162 goods into his c8e51303f9 bag.
