No Gossip, a Real Extra

97 – Monster Zoo # 2

I handed him a whole box of Pringles because he seemed desperate to eat them. Mr. Liu looked at the tin with displeasure, skillfully opened the lid, and took out the imitation potato chips inside to eat.

ㅡ Wagsak.

“Sheesh. It’s disgustingly tasteless. What kind of taste do you eat something like this?”

Look at this little talkative bird.

ㅡ Wagsak.

ㅡ Wagsak.

ㅡ Wagsak.

I grumbled and fell into disbelief at the subject of eating three at a time. Because he’s a really funny kid. Anyway, that’s original taste. I took out the spicy right away.

I mean the dark brown barrel is really impressive.

“A taste you can’t eat unless you have nothing to eat… Huh?”

“What? Why?”

“What the hell is that?”

“This is spicy.”

“…Spicy.”

Mr. Ryu, who had stopped eating, looked at the spicy Pringles in my hand with his eyes narrowed.

This bastard can’t believe it?

Is this also greedy?

“Isn’t it made by type without the head? It doesn’t look appetizing just by looking at it.”

A madman.

“I’ll have to check how tasteless it is. Serve it.”

“Write. Uh huh.”

“What?”

“You don’t know how precious this baby food is. You’re going to check how tasteless it is? Is that your attitude towards precious food?”

“It’s attitude, it’s nabal, it’s just telling the truth.”

“You shouldn’t eat it with such a mind… That’s why I can’t give you these spicy Pringles.”

“Ha! This troublesome bastard is bothering me! He told me to eat and then he said not to eat! What kind of rhythm do I have to match!”

How much do you want to eat?

“How much is it? I’ll pay as you ask.”

Now they even try to pay.

“Oh, this baby. Do you want to eat like that? Then I’ll give you a little honestly.”

“It’s not that I want to eat it, it’s to check how tasteless it is-“

“Uh. They say they want to eat it. Come on.”

—-Sure.

I took an appropriate amount, put it in a lid, and handed it over.

“…”

Mr. Ryu silently took the lid and put the spicy Pringles roll into his container. And take one out and eat it.

ㅡ Wagsak.

“It’s a needlessly stimulating taste. It’s a taste that ordinary people who chase low-level stimuli can eat.”

“Are you f*cking good at something like that?”

“You’ll be shut up while you eat this.”

While saying that, Mr. Ryu ate the Pringles so damn hard. He never tried to make eye contact with me. Just staring out the window

Anyway, he’s a bastard that makes you laugh every time you see him.

It is finally here.

“Oh. It’s so damn wide.”

When we got off the bus, we were greeted by a very large building. The zoo building was surrounded by something like a wall, and even a battle turret was placed on top of the wall.

Soldiers are also stationed there.

It literally feels like the most important government facility.

“This is the monster zoo. There are living monsters and monsters inside, so expect it. Well, everyone is incapacitated, so there’s no need to be afraid. It’s probably not us who are scared.”

Listening to the explanation, we followed the instructor like kindergarteners on a picnic.

Soon the gates of the city wall opened. Upon entering, the main zoo appeared. This door was like a bulkhead.

ㅡ Profit!

As we approached, the bulkhead opened, spewing smoke like steam. I was really looking forward to it because it felt like I was on a space ship.

“Wow.”

What greeted us as soon as we entered was a model of a monster.

There were models of all kinds of low-rank monsters made in 1:1 scale.

“This is where the models are displayed. The monsters’ names and weaknesses. The characteristics are briefly written below the models, so read them. Let’s take a look around for a while.”

“Yes!”

Good!

Let’s take a look!

“Geuncheol-ah. Let’s see each other.”

“Uh.”

“Come this way.”

I immediately attached to Shihoo and conducted a tour.

But looking at it, all of these guys learned from textbooks.

“Sihoo. Aren’t these bastards from textbooks?”

“Yes. I think so. I think they are monsters that are easy to see.”

“That’s right. Right now, we caught it ourselves.”

Anyway, I think you made a really good model. It’s made so well that I would definitely buy it if something like a miniature souvenir was sold.

While I was looking around, Leona came and said.

“An F-rank monster. You have to be able to kill it with a single knife. Kim Geun-cheol? Do you think you can do that soon?”

“Then, of course. Up to F rank, it’s just Bob. Bob.”

Indeed it is. I’ve caught and killed F-rank monsters many times.

“Huh, it’s worth working hard. Then, let’s look around slowly.”

“Sure.”

At some point, even Yuri joined. So, we studied while looking around the model exhibition hall.

“Hmm.”

But just looking at the model is fun. All of them are real monsters themselves, so it’s fun to watch. Okay. This is the cultural life. It would be fun to come with family.

“But that one. What is the one in the middle covered with a cloth?”

“Hmm? Is this an unfinished work?”

“I’ll go and ask. Instructor Lee So-ra. What’s that in the middle?”

“Center? Ah. Something is hidden. Let me check.”

ㅡBeep.

The instructor immediately called somewhere. As soon as we had a few words of conversation, some people came running from the other side and removed the cloth.

ㅡ Anger.

And what appeared.

“Ohh!”

I was a monster the size of an elephant!

The head surrounded by a carapace looked very hard, and the long fangs exposed beneath it were truly murderous. And the upper body, as big as the head, was like that of a bodybuilder, and the thick forearms reminded me of a giant club.

Looks good at destroying things like buildings.

“It’s a D-rank monster, Clustera.”

The instructor started to explain.

“You need a tank gun to defeat it. Of course, a skilled Awakener can easily slaughter it with just a single knife. This is one of the most common D-rank monsters in Korea, so be sure to familiarize yourself with how to deal with it. D-Rank Monsters are the main enemies that young heroes usually deal with.”

“Yes!”

Immediately take a look.

“Sihoo, can you catch something like this?”

“Eh… I think I can catch it if I do it one-on-one with nothing else?”

“No. Really? Catch something the size of this elephant alone?”

“I heard that clustera is duller than I thought.”

“Is that so?”

This bastard is strong too!

“Leona? You?”

“I’ve never faced it, but I’ve recognized it. I can catch it with my skills.”

“As expected, Leona!”

Okay. If it’s a bit dull style, I think Leona can play with it. Still, I’m really amazed. How can you kill such a monster with one sword?

“You are Yuri?”

“Can’t I catch this? This is just f*cking sh*t.”

“Hey!”

Everyone is cheap.

“Something like this. It’s nothing.”

“Ryu? When did you come?”

“Shut up.”

Crazy man, for real.

“Okay, everyone, stop watching. We’re going to go to the real zoo now.”

“We’re finally going!”

“Follow me.”

I immediately followed the instructor.

ㅡ Profit!

After passing through the bulkhead that appeared, I entered a space full of glass walls.

“Wow!”

And I was amazed.

ㅡ Kiyi!

ㅡCheer up!

ㅡ Kyaaagh!

Beyond the glass walls like an aquarium. Inside, all kinds of monsters were chained and glowing!

Such prison-like cellars were close to each other on the left and right of the corridor!

“Oh my God! So many monsters!”

“They are collected by type.”

The opportunity to intuit a living monster in this way is rare. Excited classmates sprinted across the ground, stopping wherever they liked, observing the monsters within the glass walls.

“Ah. If you go in there, E-rank monsters seem to come out. F-rank monsters are too easy to deal with, so let’s go to the back first.”

“Uh, uh, yes.”

Leona grabbed my wrist and dragged me.

After going inside like that, E rank monsters came out.

ㅡQuooooo!

It certainly looks bigger and stronger than the F rank monsters. The guy in here was a guy named Pampuras, and he was about the same height as me.

“This little arm is a bit long. Leona. How can I deal with it?”

“Ranged attacks are the best. Grinding large-caliber submachine guns. Showing off your superpowers.”

“We’re not good enough.”

“That’s why control is important to us. See, when he swings his arm, it’s enough to cut it with a sword wrapped in a sword, and cut it apart while digging inward.”

Leona’s class has begun. Since she is not a subject to be commended for, she is naturally focused. I simulated while imagining killing Pampuras in my head.

“Now! Everyone! Come over here! I’ll explain the monster!”

“Monster! Leona! Let’s go quickly!”

“Yes!”

I immediately went with Leona to where her instructor was.

“Look.”

“Ohh!”

The one inside the glass wall really looked like a monster.

It was a bipedal creature with an ant-like head and exoskeleton skin. Looking at the explanation, it seems to be an intelligence from another world.

ㅡ Puss Susu.

It looked at us withdrawn, as if it were terrified, busily teasing its jaws, which had about ten sprouted something like the legs of a blue crab.

“Something is atrophied.”

“The medicine must have hit him. His name is Antilery. He’s an E-ranked monster.”

“Antillery?”

“Yes.”

Anyway, this is a monster.

As far as I know, people with intelligence are said to be monsters. It is to classify alien species that have a society and can achieve civilization as monsters. There are quite a few cities of monsters like this on Earth.

I heard that there are a lot of monstrous cities, especially in China and Russia. It was said that they were occupying the destroyed land and increasing their power. Among them, it seems that the really dangerous monsters made ‘nations’ rather than cities.

“This guy’s name is Antilery. The rank is said to be a low-ranking soldier. I’m sure everyone has seen it on the news a few times, but these guys are the ones who are obsessed with communism.”

“Oh.”

I remember.

“It wasn’t like that originally, but at some point I came to believe in communism. Their city is located on the side of Beijing, the fallen capital of the old China. They built a fairly large city there. They are in constant confrontation with the generals of China.”

I listened to the instructor’s explanation.

These monsters in the form of ants obsessed with communism actually live in a communist-like society and seem to be struggling to expand their power.

“These guys are often seen in Korea. They look funny, but they’re quite dangerous. They aren’t enough to breed monsters, they have the characteristics of using human weapons. Their main weapons are the F-rank monsters Chuhamb and AK- 47.”

Crazy redheads are now even shooting guns.

I feel stuffy and my nose is stuffy.

“These Red Ants are using AK again.”

“Daddy, red ant… Puchup. Ah, yes. I have to use AK again. It’s really hard.”

That time when I was joking around with the instructor.

ㅡ Tiring.

I heard a familiar sound.
