Chapter 52

Had I always been the kind of person who smiled while texting another guy?

No.

The fact that he could answer that with absolute certainty made it even stranger. Mo Yeonhoo glared at his own face reflected in the screen. Meanwhile, the phone placed off to one side kept ringing with notification after notification.

He did not have to press it to know. It would be Kwon Mieon. Mo Yeonhoo, who had been about to check the sender without realizing it, quickly flipped the phone over and came to his senses.

This isn’t like me.

No matter how close a friend was, he did not keep exchanging messages like this after parting ways.

So warmly deciding where to meet next felt, all over again, so, so......!

This isn’t right! No matter how friendless he is!

He felt bad for him, but it kept feeling strangely ticklish. Wasn’t this kind of ticklishness supposed to be something he felt only with a girlfriend or someone he was flirting with?

I have Miyoung. This isn’t the time to be hanging out with Miyoung’s family. Do I even know how important this moment is?

Mo Yeonhoo summoned the Miyoung-crazed guy inside himself.

My baby rabbit.

As he thought of Miyoung, Mo Yeonhoo’s expression turned firm before he knew it. He flipped over the phone that kept lighting up with notifications and turned on the computer.

I need to clear up the misunderstanding here first.

Honestly, this side was more urgent than Kwon Mieon. When he remembered Miyoung in the game, condemning him as if she had a knife between her teeth, his chest seemed to clog up all over again.

Yeah. Let’s log into the game first.

Mo Yeonhoo let out a soft sigh and opened Zombie Village.

He had no idea how Miyoung would react. Because of that, he watched the screen with an anxious face without realizing it, and in the meantime, the loading finished.

Welcome back, Survivor!

Looking at the in-game screen unfolding before him, Mo Yeonhoo decided to harden his resolve.

The more he thought about it, the more obvious Miyoung’s intention became. Since the alliance members had opposed kicking him out, it seemed she wanted him to leave on his own....

Did she think I’d leave that easily?

Not a chance.

(Alliance) 0momo0: Hello

(Alliance) GoodLuck: Welcome in~~

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Hello, Momo~

(Alliance) KimFactory: hey

(Alliance) 1Poop1: hey hey

(Alliance) MouseTrap: Welcome in!!

(Alliance) FUNK: Hellomomoㅇㅇ

As soon as he logged in, the lively alliance chat window welcomed him as expected.

Huh, but something feels weird.

However, as he moved the screen with his mouse, he felt oddly confused.

(Alliance) 0momo0: Uh, was there an update??

(Alliance) 0momo0: Something feels weird

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Ah!! That’s probably because the settings got reset!

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Apparently an error happened during the update this time that reset everyone’s settings lololol

So the settings he had adjusted were all reset, which was why the screen movement felt awkward.

(Alliance) 1Poop1: When am I gonna fix sensitivity, what a fucking pain

(Alliance) KimFactory: Garbage game for real

(Alliance) FUNK: Atleastskillsdidn’treset if I think about that time ugh

Seeing how used to it everyone seemed, this apparently was not the first or second time something like this had happened. Mo Yeonhoo also thought he would have to fix his settings again when he had time, then looked around.

The alliance territory had been a mess because of the Siege War, but everyone seemed to have tidied it up in the meantime, because the ground had been cleaned neatly.

Seeing the leveled ground and the various trees planted there, he could tell just how diligent the alliance members were.

The list of alliance members online... there it is.

Under Zombie Village’s system, users inside the alliance territory could not see each other’s locations, only whether or not they were online. And once someone left the alliance territory, unless they typed in chat, no one could tell whether they were connected.

Miu... one minute ago.

If Miu’s connection time was one minute ago... then it meant he had either left the alliance territory one minute ago or exited the game.

He’s definitely connected.

Mo Yeonhoo was certain. He had never seen Miu absent at this hour. There was a high chance he was definitely online.

Since he was going to be hated either way....

I’ll stick to his side somehow, tooth and nail, and prove I’m not a spy.

He would not avoid it. He would break through. Once he made that decision, the unease he had felt until just a moment ago actually settled down.

(Alliance) 0momo0: Where is Miu??

If he followed him around all day and showed him his every move, would that not clear up the suspicion that he was a spy?

(Alliance) 0momo0: Miu~~~

(Alliance) 0momo0: Miu~~~~????

(Alliance) KimFactory: What the..???

(Alliance) 1Poop1: Damn, Momo, what happened

(Alliance) 0momo0: Has anyone seen Miu????????

(Alliance) FUNK: Momo whyareyoulookingsuddenlyforMiu likesomething scary

The alliance members were startled by Mo Yeonhoo’s mad search for Miu the moment he logged in, but Mo Yeonhoo did not care.

(Alliance) 0momo0: Seems like Miu just left the territory~

(Alliance) 0momo0: Did anyone see where he went???

He simply continued stubbornly asking where Miu was.

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Not sure haha;;

(Alliance) CheersInMyEyes: lololololololol damn

(Alliance) KimFactory: ? Huh, why is everyone acting like this..

(Alliance) 1Poop1: Not,, meeting each other,,, might also be,, fine, hmm-hmm;

(Alliance) KimFactory: What the heck happened...

(Alliance) 0momo0: Why won’t you tell me?????

(Alliance) 0momo0: Tell me!!!!

Since Mo Yeonhoo, who had been suspected as a spy and cursed at every way imaginable over the past few days, was saying he would go find Miu himself, the alliance members were startled and still refused to tell him. Of course, they had good reason.

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Haha, for a while.. how about keeping some distance from Miu..?

(Alliance) ShinJadu: I’m afraid you two will fight again T_T T_T

(Alliance) FUNK: agreedagreedagreed

(Alliance) 1Poop1: fucking agree huge fucking agree

That was how badly Miu had torn into Mo Yeonhoo that day. Perhaps because the memory was so intense, the alliance members did not reveal where Miu had gone. But who was Mo Yeonhoo?

(Alliance) 0momo0: (Item link: Premium Special Potion Set)

(Alliance) 0momo0: Oops!.. My item.. slipped and got posted in chat..!

(Alliance) FUNK: ??..

(Alliance) 0momo0: (Item link: Recovery Kit Collection)

(Alliance) 0momo0: Oops,,! I sent another link..!!!

(Alliance) 1Poop1: Huh?

He was a man who did not know how to give up.

(Alliance) 0momo0: I have too many items like these, so they keep getting posted in chat? T_T T_T T_T T_T

(Alliance) 0momo0: I should hurry and give them to someone...

(Alliance) 0momo0: It’d be nice if whoever received them knew where Miu was..!

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Ah;

(Alliance) 0momo0: (Item link: Recovery Snack Set)

(Alliance) 0momo0: Oopsie.. again..! Oh no!!

(Alliance) KimFactory: I don’t know what’s going on, but those items look tempting???

(Alliance) GoodLuck: Brother Momo, would this humble servant perhaps dare to speak of Miu’s location...

(Alliance) GoodLuck: I just so happen to have some mighty fine information

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Hold on;; GoodLuck??

(Alliance) 0momo0: I’ve been waiting only for you.

(Alliance) FUNK: omg lolololololololol opportunist

And so, thanks to GoodLuck, who had been lingering around saying they wanted to remodel the main gate prettily, Mo Yeonhoo was able to hear roughly where Miu was.

(Alliance) GoodLuck: Leader logged in earlier, greeted us quick~ and seemed to head toward the alliance gathering site~

(Alliance) GoodLuck: They rode the tiger toward the darklands~~~ hmm~~ But~ since there’s no response in chat, they might be offline now~ not sure~

This much was enough.

Mo Yeonhoo quickly stuffed the items into GoodLuck’s sleeve and gave his thanks.

(Alliance) GoodLuck: That was a good trade~

(Alliance) GoodLuck: Please use my services often, this humble servant is always waiting~^^

(Alliance) 0momo0: Thank you!!!

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Come on, GoodLuck!!!!!!

(Alliance) GoodLuck: heh

(Alliance) GoodLuck: No~ but what’re you gonna do when you find them~?

(Alliance) 0momo0: I have to go meet him!!!

(Alliance) FUNK: You’rereallygoing?

(Alliance) ShinJadu: T_T T_T Should I go with you?

(Alliance) 0momo0: I’m okay!!!!

(Alliance) 0momo0: I’m going because I want to see him haha

(Alliance) CheersInMyEyes: lolololololol.. d

(Alliance) 1Poop1: fucking insanity;

And so, after getting the location from GoodLuck, Mo Yeonhoo set out to find Miu.

There were several alliance gathering sites managed by <47>, and Miu seemed to be near the “Dark Zombie Habitat” right now.

Were they potion materials?

That place was terrain where abnormal entities called dark zombies appeared. It was possible to obtain sticky zombie mucus, a Special Potion material, there, but it was quite far from the alliance territory.

Had he ridden his mount for a long while like that?

Purple ground. I’m here!

At last, the dark terrain came into view. However, he could not find Miu.

I don’t see him.... Did he log out?

Just as he was looking around, wondering where on earth Miu was, he saw Miu in a secluded spot.
