Chapter 57

Mo Yeonhoo, watching Miu take out enemies while hanging from the drone, felt his throat tighten before he realized it.

(Whisper) 0momo0: l-leader..

(Whisper) 0momo0: leader.... 😭😭😭😭😭

For some reason, ShinJadu during the Siege War came to mind.

Back then, when the three teams had launched a joint attack and ShinJadu’s mental had completely collapsed, he had steadied the moment Miu appeared. Right now, Mo Yeonhoo felt like he understood why better than anyone.

(Whisper) 0momo0: why did you only come now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

(Whisper) 0momo0: p-p-pyuuuu 😭😭😭😭😭😭 p-p-pyuuuu

Miu had only typed one chat message, yet an absurd wave of relief crashed over Mo Yeonhoo.

Miu glanced sideways at the 0momo0 character, who kept shedding little bubbling tears in response to the crying emote spam, then landed at the end of the broken stairs.

Bang, bang, bang!

Miu rapidly fired at the zombie horde creeping closer, keeping them in check. Every shot he took was a clean head shot, and the zombies climbing the wall dropped to the ground one after another.

I should help too... but my hands hurt.

Mo Yeonhoo’s face crumpled. He had been shooting nonstop at the endless zombie horde without even getting to breathe properly, so of course his hands had given out.

He had no strength left to shoot, his skills were still on cooldown, and he did not even have the strength to chug a potion.

Huh? It got quiet.

When the gunfire suddenly stopped, Mo Yeonhoo tilted his head. Miu had stopped shooting and was standing still.

Why did he stop all of a sudden?

Mo Yeonhoo was staring at the screen when Miu abruptly turned around and started walking toward him.

No way. Is he going to hurt me here?!

Sure, Miu suspected him of being a spy, but in this situation?

(Whisper) 0momo0: zombies.. are still here..

Mo Yeonhoo said it carefully, but Miu did not care.

(Whisper) 0momo0: there are still zombies

(Whisper) 0momo0: M-MingMimuiMiu there’s a zombie over there!!

(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu you’re gonna die you’re gonna die hurry hurry;;

(Whisper) 0momo0: b-big zombie

(Whisper) 0momo0: wow so many zombies~!@;;

(Whisper) 0momo0: there are zombies heh? 😭😭😭😭😭

Even while Mo Yeonhoo, feeling a chill run through him, talked in a frantic scramble, Miu only kept walking toward 0momo0 without looking back.

He’s going to kill me.

Inside alliance territory, members of the same alliance could not attack each other. But this was the field, so unless they were in a party, PVP between alliance members was probably possible.

(Whisper) 0momo0: no I really 😭😭

(Whisper) 0momo0: I’m not a spy

(Whisper) 0momo0: even me being here was just

(Whisper) 0momo0: to protect M iu

Crunch!

But Miu pulled something out and stabbed it straight into Mo Yeonhoo.

(Whisper) 0momo0: nooo 😭😭😭

(Whisper) 0momo0: I’m 😭😭😭😭 not a spy

(Whisper) 0momo0: I really only did it 😭😭😭😭 to protect Miu 😭😭😭

(Whisper) 0momo0: h-hey Miu you f

(Whisper) 0momo0: aren’t you seriously being too mean 😭

(Notification) Poisoned status has been removed!

Mo Yeonhoo, who had been one hundred percent certain Miu had attacked him, blinked at the sudden notification.

......Huh?

At the same time, the screen that had been smeared with blood after the zombie bites slowly cleared.

Wait, if poisoned status was removed...

Mo Yeonhoo looked at his arm.

Item Info

💉 Emergency Injection Recovery Agent

Removes all major debuffs (bleeding/poison/slow/confusion, etc.)

Grants immunity to damage for 5 seconds

Oh, it wasn’t an attack. It was medicine......

His health filled back up, and every debuff that had been stacked endlessly above his HP bar vanished.

(Whisper) Miu: Hey?

(Whisper) Miu: Miu?

(Whisper) Miu: Mean?

As if he had never jabbed Mo Yeonhoo with a recovery agent at all, Miu reloaded his gun and picked at the tail end of Mo Yeonhoo’s words.

(Whisper) 0momo0: I love you..........?

(Whisper) Miu: Would you like to die again?

(Whisper) 0momo0: h.. hehe..

(Whisper) 0momo0: Momo has arrived hehe;;

(Whisper) 0momo0: I’ll help~ hehehe

Embarrassed, Mo Yeonhoo hurriedly topped off his health now that his potion cooldown had ended, then stuck beside Miu and matched his movements.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Their gunshots echoed through the tower one after another. Miu, who had been firing hard, abruptly stopped moving and stared at Mo Yeonhoo.

(Whisper) Miu: But you

(Whisper) 0momo0: yeees?

Was there something here? Mo Yeonhoo looked around, confused because he could not see anything.

(Whisper) Miu: Why are you suddenly good at shooting?

(Whisper) Miu: Necro didn’t get buffed

Miu asked as if genuinely puzzled.

(Whisper) 0momo0: Shooting???

(Whisper) Miu: Yeah

(Whisper) Miu: Why are zombies dying to your gun??

(Whisper) 0momo0: Huh? Isn’t that obvious...

(Whisper) 0momo0: ???

Somehow... it felt like an insult, but also not, in a very strange way.

(Whisper) Miu: Have you been hiding your shooting skills this whole time?

(Whisper) 0momo0: ??? What?

(Whisper) Miu: You could shoot this well, and you were conning us?

(Whisper) Miu: Were you seriously trying to fuck with us?

(Whisper) 0momo0: No????

(Whisper) 0momo0: No I wasn’t;; I wasn’t 😭😭😭😭😭

(Whisper) Miu: Then why are you suddenly like this?

Even with zombies charging in, Miu kept asking as if he was truly curious. Flustered, Mo Yeonhoo answered in a panic that he did not know either.

(Whisper) 0momo0: 😭😭 I don’t know why but I can shoot well today;;;

(Whisper) 0momo0: I really don’t know either 😭😭😭😭

(Whisper) Miu: ?

(Whisper) Miu: What kind of nonsense is that

(Whisper) 0momo0: It’s true 😭😭😭😭😭

(Whisper) Miu: What did you even do in one day

(Whisper) Miu: ?

(Whisper) Miu: Ah

(Whisper) Miu: Your settings got reset, didn’t they

At that moment, Miu seemed to realize something.

(Whisper) 0momo0: ?? Y-yeah

(Whisper) 0momo0: What does that have to do with this.. 😭

(Whisper) Miu: Can you check what changed in your settings??

At Miu’s words, Mo Yeonhoo glanced around. He wondered whether it was really right to check his settings in this situation, with zombies still swarming everywhere.

But if I just stand around, he’ll probably suspect me again?!

He did not want any more misunderstandings.

(Whisper) 0momo0: wait a secc

At that, Miu started finishing off the remaining zombies.

Mo Yeonhoo hurriedly entered the settings window.

What did I change again?

Now that he thought about it, he had filled the “sensitivity” bar almost all the way up. Now, it had reset to a tiny value.

(Whisper) 0momo0: Sensitivity?? I think this changed

(Whisper) Miu: Sensitivity?

(Whisper) 0momo0: Yeah it’s different from my original sensitivity!!!

(Whisper) Miu: What did you have it at originally?

Originally? Mo Yeonhoo clicked sensitivity.

It could go up to 50, and he had originally had it almost full, so....

(Whisper) 0momo0: 35??? 40???

(Whisper) Miu: ?

(Whisper) Miu: What??

(Whisper) Miu: 40???

(Whisper) 0momo0: Yeah p robably..

(Whisper) Miu: You said 40???

(Whisper) Miu: Why?

Why, he asked.

(Whisper) 0momo0: hehe isn’t higher better?!

(Whisper) Miu: What??????

(Whisper) 0momo0: Hmm but now it’s 6

Miu did not reply for a while.

(Whisper) 0momo0: Should I raise it back to 40?

(Whisper) Miu: ??????

(Whisper) Miu: No no no no who the hell plays with sensitivity at 40;;

(Whisper) Miu: Are you sane??

(Whisper) 0momo0: ??? Yees..??

(Whisper) 0momo0: What’s yours, Miu?

(Whisper) Miu: 2

(Whisper) 0momo0: omg

That was right.

Mo Yeonhoo had......

(Whisper) 0momo0: Then what sensitivity do people usually use...

(Whisper) Miu: Between 1 and 20;

(Whisper) Miu: Even 20 makes people motion sick, so they don’t really use it

All this time, because he had set his sensitivity to an absolutely ridiculous value, he had been playing the game on self-imposed hard mode!
