Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 6. Regressor (3)

"I-If you're uncomfortable, then."

"I'm fine," I said, interrupting her.

"Oh...I...well..." she said nervously.

"Sorry?" I asked.

"I-I know I'm late, but...thank you for saving me," she said.

A small smile appeared on her face as she thanked me. It was a bit uncomfortable trying to support her as we walked, but it wasn't a problem since I believed that I had to do whatever I could in order to stay on her good side.

Jung Ha-Yan's face strangely turned red. I guess she wasn't used to physical contact with the opposite sex. We maintained a certain distance from each other and that helped her bring down her guard. When she continued showing her friendly smile, I was able to look at Jung Ha-Yan, who started relying on me more and more.

When we walked a bit farther, we saw a very open space.

'Not bad.'

The space wasn't that bad. Having one entrance wasn't a bad thing. It seemed like they installed barricades to block the monsters that would come in through the entrance. I also couldn't see the inside from out here.

"Amazing. How did you find this place?" Park Deok-Gu asked in amazement.

'He probably knew about this place already.'

"I found it by accident. I found this place while the survivors and I were trying to find a decent place to settle," Kim Hyun-Sung explained.

"You were really lucky," Park Deok-Gu commented.

It was possible that he used this place in his past life. This place was different from the starting point where monsters were able to come from all directions. It was a bit crude, but having this as the base in a place like this was like having a strong castle.

It was unlikely that he actually found this place by accident when it was very far from the starting point. It was only a little bit, but I was starting to become certain that he really regressed and went back in time.

"It's really amazing. Don't you think so, hyung-nim?" Park Deok-Gu asked me.

I nodded lightly.

"Even if 100 of those monsters come charging in, I'm sure we'll be able to block them with a place like this," Park Deok-Gu said excitedly.

"I don't think so," I said, disagreeing with him.

"I-I guess I was overexaggerating a bit," he said.

If there were enough people, we could indeed stop them. But not having a way out apart from the one and only entrance was this base's weakness. If the number of monsters that invade this place became unbearable, then we would definitely be annihilated. Excluding the few lucky ones, everyone would die.

I opened my mouth slowly as I looked at Kim Hyun-Sung. "All the sides are blocked. If a large number of monsters come in through the entrance..."

"That's why we're moving with utmost caution. We've also been diligently taking care of the monsters that appear nearby," he explained, interrupting me.

"Do you go out to hunt regularly?" I asked.

"Yes. At least until we find another clue..." he answered.

I was starting to get curious as to who did the hunting. When we walked slowly to the entrance, I saw a woman coming out to greet us. She was a bit short and had a charming look.

"You're back, Hyun-Sung oppa? Oh, you've brought new people," she said, greeting him.

She flinched a bit when she looked at the large-framed Park Deok-Gu walking towards her while holding a sword and shield. I was surprised by how she talked to us while maintaining her smile.
