Meanwhile, ‘Youngdungpo Prosecutor’, recognized as a guru in the community, posted a long thread immediately after checking the comments.
[14] The establishment of the Yeongdeungpo Survivor Guild proclaimed

We have concluded that we can no longer wait for the government’s help, so we want to create a player community called “Liberation.” This guild’s primary goals are group survival, seeking to secure a Safety Zone, helping survivors, and further cracking down on the monsters […]

“Guild? It must be the kind of guild that appears in online games, right?”
Sungwoo nodded when Hanho asked, saying, “I think so. Now I think I know why he posted a comment on my threat a moment ago. He didn’t want me to join his group — he just wanted to publicize that they weren’t a bad group.”
“Really? He did the same thing last time. He must be a sophisticated guy.”
Sungwoo was now asking Taesung and his friends to go into enemy territory at the risk of their lives where he didn’t know when the massacre could happen.
However, Taesung nodded, saying, “…Sure. Anyway, we’ve already had the experience of spending a few days with the vampires anyway..”
Soon, Taesung started the bike with three friends. When they disappeared from the factory, it was time for Sungwoo’s party to act.
“Sungwoo, what are we going to do now?”
“We have to level up. What level are you?”
“Uh, I’m five.”
“Who are you going to fight at that level?”
Sungwoo’s party went on to ‘hunt.’ However, Sungwoo’s goal was not to level up. He planned to secure as many ‘human animals’ as possible, so he could form a mixed group of Werewolves and Werebears to confront the vampires. That was his goal today.
***
On the sixth day after the world turned into a game, the survivors were united by creating a Safety Zone or they stayed put in their houses, isolated from the outside.
Meanwhile, the streets were occupied by the monsters. A group of Dire Wolves ran wildly on the 8-lane road, chasing their prey. They didn’t care about their targets. They ate anything small and fragile indiscriminately.
Weak and small goblins occupied the old malls in remote areas. Sensing there was a variety of food inside the ‘square stones that blow out cold,’ they started to break open the windows of ordinary men’s houses. Those hiding there were naturally sacrificed.
The orcs that loved wastelands built camps on school playgrounds. As if they didn’t like the man-made buildings, they cut the desks, , and trees on the streets to build ugly edifices.
But colorful industrial products were very popular among them. So if they found anything colorful, such as clothespins or lollipops, they weaved them together to make necklaces.
“What a mess!”
“I don’t think that kind of description is accurate.”
The party of four including Kyongsu, who also joined Sungwoo’s party, ran through the hellish downtown area and hunted all the monsters they could. But they had to avoid the large orc clan which numbered more than 200.
On the other hand, there were also monsters they encountered for the first time.
“Watch your back!”
Brown-skinned dwarfs crawled out of the sewer and attacked Sungwoo’s members from behind. But they easily and quickly beat the dwarfs because they had enough fighting experience.
“Well, they look like goblins.”
“They are not that threatening. They’re called Kobolds,” Jisu said, brushing off the blood of the blade.
It seemed that a “Kobold” clan had settled in the sewer or the subway, building their own areas.
“By the way, this is like a magic attack, isn’t it?”
Kyongsu pointed to the bumper of the white Pride sedan parked in front of the mall.
The middle of the bumper was already melted, dyed in green.
Escaping from the green fireball by the skin of his teeth, Hanho swallowed, looking at it.
“Oh my goodness, I might have died if I had not increased Agility! The monsters are using magic too.”
“You bet. We have to be more careful.”
Then they encountered three Dire Wolves. However, one Werewolf skeleton ripped their snouts violently like King Kong did.
“Sure enough, human animals are overwhelmingly powerful.”
When Sungwoo’s party easily removed the Dire Wolf herd on the streets, they began to act more aggressively. However, they could not find the prey that Sungwoo wanted, namely ‘human animals’ like Werewolves or Werebears.
“Sungwoo, how about B-mart over there?”
When they turned around the alley, Hanho raised his finger and pointed to the front.
It was a large three-story mart.
“Let’s go there.”
Aside from hunting, they could not neglect to collect the necessary items, also called ‘farming.’
Such a large mart probably had quite a few useful items including food.
So, they approached the mart when they saw lots of cars entangled here and there while trying to flee from the scene in a chaotic situation. It was a familiar scene.
“Sungwoo, don’t you think you experienced this kind of situation at the entrance to our school?”
“I feel the same way, too.”
