The Second Return, Gathering (2) “Huh?”
“To Yongin?”
The people realized. Not far away, in a place reachable on foot, there were others besides them.
“I, I have a friend in the Yongin area!”
“I had family there!”
For various reasons, like being in different Difficulties or the circumstances just not aligning, people who had not met acquaintances in the Labyrinth raised their voices. Hope embraced them.
“But in that case…”
“We have to go to Yongin from here?”
At the same time, despair also trampled them. On their way to Anyang City Hall, they had seen countless monsters. Many had barely survived, driven to the brink of death.
Kim Hwi-yeon desperately tried to comfort the people whose faces darkened in an instant.
“Don’t worry! All of you have grown stronger while descending the Labyrinth!”
She shouted, forcing a bright expression.
“And we will protect you too! When we arrive in Yongin City, even more people will have gathered. Then we can join our strength! We can survive!”
At her desperate cry, the people steeled their hearts. Having barely gathered their motivation, Kim Hwi-yeon quickly organized the people. They discarded unnecessary luggage, put their food into their Inventories, and formed a line.
And so they departed. Leaving the City Hall, they headed for Yongin.
“The map…”
“We got it with the Quest. The path is not a problem. How kind of them.”
