By Zephyria 
I understand why people like Zombie Village. Mo Yeon-hu was frozen for a while, unable to do anything, by the realistic screen.
‘Not a single trace left.’
The smoke cleared, and not a single blade of grass remained in its place. Of course, like a game, grass and trees grew back in a few seconds, returning everything to normal.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Are they all dead?????
The countless Zombies disappeared at once.
‘I should have used a mine like that.’
But he soon shook his head.
‘100% I would have died because I couldn’t gauge the range.’
What good would it do to use it? He had to break through that Zombie horde and get to the safe zone, which was not an easy task. He would have been caught in the explosion while running away, leaving no bones behind.
(Whisper) Miu: It’s all cleared up.
While Mo Yeon-hu was lost in the afterglow, Miu said calmly. Looking at them, Miu seemed to have expected this, and their battle stance was already relaxed.
‘It’s over…….’
Seeing that, he finally realized that this long wave was over. Relieved of the tension, Mo Yeon-hu repeatedly rubbed his face in reality.
“Wow….”
But he didn’t feel relieved.
Miu took the lead and cleaned up the situation even though they joined late, but he couldn’t even protect Miu properly. Feeling self-conscious for no reason, Mo Yeon-hu hesitated and typed.
(Whisper) 0momo0: I’m so bad at this game..
(Whisper) 0momo0: I only got help this time too…
Miu blocked the wave alone, but his skills were far short of theirs.
(Whisper) Miu: Hmm
Miu seemed to agree with that statement, typing ‘Hmm’ and remaining silent for a while.
‘Are they going to say something?’
They almost said something earlier, so he thought it wouldn’t be strange if a barrage of criticism followed.
(Whisper) Miu: It’s natural that you can’t handle it (Whisper) Miu: This was a wave created by a person using items Miu’s words were completely unexpected.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Huh??????
‘A person created the wave?’
Was that possible? Suddenly, Miu’s chat inside the tower came to mind.
[(Whisper) Miu: I don’t know how long you’ve been holding out here]
[(Whisper) Miu: Don’t you think the wave isn’t ending?]
[(Whisper) Miu: Abnormal Climate Waves are not naturally occurring]
[(Whisper) Miu: They don’t disappear unless you kill all the Zombies that have gathered]
He thought it was a strange thing to say back then. If it wasn’t a naturally occurring wave… did that mean someone induced it?
‘……That’s right. A person.’
At that moment, a scene flashed through his mind.
He heard a sound in the forest when the wave occurred. Mo Yeon-hu felt that it was clearly a human presence, neither a Zombie nor an animal.
(Alliance) BBQ: Oh, what? Alliance Master???
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Alliance Master????
Then, suddenly, a sound of stepping on grass came from behind, and a chat message popped up.
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: I was wandering around and heard an explosion… Why are you two here???
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Oh my;; What’s wrong with our gathering spot?!??!?
(Alliance) BBQ: ???????? Is that our gathering spot???? What? There’s nothing there lol??
(Alliance) MouseTrap: Oh, what’s going on!
(Alliance) GoodLuck: What’s up~
The Alliance chat window was filling up. Communication was impossible earlier because of the wave.
ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Everyone-I met a strange wave just now and I almost died Mo Yeon-hu was about to type a message as he saw Shin Jadu and BBQ approaching.
(Alliance) Miu: Momo, what are you doing?
(Alliance) Miu: Aren’t you leaving the Alliance yet?
If it weren’t for Miu suddenly picking a fight.
“……Huh?”
Mo Yeon-hu’s eyes widened. He was surprised by the sudden, aggressive tone, but that wasn’t the reason.
(Alliance) Miu: Are you mentally deficient?
(Alliance) Miu: You sold your Core and now you’ve sold your intelligence too (Alliance) Miu: Why are you chasing me all the way here and making a fussㅋㅋㅋㅋ
(Alliance) BBQ: ㅠㅠ,.. Why are you like that again lol..ㅠ
It was strange.
(Alliance) GoodLuck: Woah~~ Woah~~;;
(Alliance) Miu: I don’t want to eat at the same table as a spy, so why are you chasing me all the way hereㅋㅋ
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Ah, why are you two fighting again;; It was too strange. Mo Yeon-hu stared blankly at the chat window.
It was similar to yesterday. Miu was scolding him, and the Alliance Members were stopping them…….
‘But it wasn’t like this until just now.’
They didn’t say such things when they were alone. They even gave up the chance to survive alone and risked their lives to escape with him.
‘Of course, they asked me why I was going so far….’
It wasn’t such a sharp attitude, so the more he thought about it, the stranger it became.
Mo Yeon-hu blinked and stared at the chat window. Unlike their cheerful and cute real-life appearance, Miu was a rational Alliance Master who controlled their emotions in the game. Even while the Alliance Territory was being destroyed, they were a skilled expert who calmly searched the outskirts and found the Shelter.
There was nothing to gain for Miu by being mean to him in front of so many people.
But they were openly picking a fight with him?
(Alliance) Miu: What did I do? Anyone would think I beat you up, I haven’t even said half of what I wanted to say yetㅋㅋ
(Alliance) Miu: It’s not like we were together, this person is following me like a sto.ker (Alliance) Miu: A spy and a sto.ker, how disgusting Miu was scratching at him in the Alliance chat that the Alliance Members could see.
‘We’ve been talking in whispers until now, so if they wanted to nag me, they could have continued in whispers. If they do it in the Alliance chat, the Alliance Members will obviously stop them.’
His round eyes blinked quickly, then began to slow down. His gaze, lost in thought, remained on the screen. Even in the meantime, Miu was impatient to pick a fight with Mo Yeon-hu…….
(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu
Mo Yeon-hu suddenly had that thought.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu, you know I’m not a spy, right?
The thought that Miu was acting.
There seemed to be another reason why they were driving him as a spy in front of people and openly displaying their discord with him.
But there was no reply from Miu. Instead, the chat continued to rise in the Alliance window.
(Alliance) Miu: Where are you going to sell the information this time?
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: Ohㅠ stop it… Are you fighting again?!!?
(Alliance) MouseTrap: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Stop it..
(Alliance) Miu: What are you stoppingㅋㅋ If you didn’t vote, you’re all accomplices (Alliance) Miu: Let’s kick him outㅋㅋㅋ It’ll be over if we just kick this person out (Alliance) BBQ: ㅠㅠㅠ I’m scared, please come back soon, Alliance Master..
Seeing the noisy Alliance window, Mo Yeon-hu felt embarrassed by his whisper.
‘……Did I jump to the wrong conclusion?’
It wasn’t like Miu was originally like that, and he thought they were deliberately trying to find another spy, so he poked at them.
‘Do they just hate me because they really think I’m a spy?’
It seemed like he was wrong, since there was no answer. Mo Yeon-hu, who had become sullen, pouted his lips. At that moment, a different colored sentence appeared in the chat window.
(Whisper) Miu: Yes, I know
Among the Alliance chats, a clearly different colored whisper.
(Whisper) Miu: I’m sorry
(Whisper) Miu: I have my reasons
……!
It was Miu.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Is the person sending whispers right now Miu?????
One corner of his heart lightened in an instant, but it was difficult to believe right away because of the abusive language he had suffered so far.
(Alliance) GoodLuck: Miu~ You were too much~~ Huh?~ Let’s calm down a little~~
(Alliance) Miu: I think I’ll calm down when the spy is kicked out (Alliance) Cheers to the Eyes: T_T
(Alliance) Miu: Shall we revote?
Look at that chat. Does it look like the same person?
(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu, something big happened (Whisper) 0momo0: Someone is hacking Miu right now and writing in the Alliance chat (Whisper) 0momo0: The fake Miu keeps telling me to get out of the Alliance;; (Whisper) Miu: That’s me
(Whisper) 0momo0: If it’s you, write this in the Alliance chat instead of the whisper chat;;; (Whisper) Miu: What?
(Whisper) 0momo0: Momo, I love you
(Whisper) Miu: ???
(Whisper) 0momo0: Hurry!!! Write it in the Alliance chat??
(Whisper) 0momo0: Momo!! I love you!! Write it!!!
(Whisper) 0momo0: I can’t believe anything until you send that (Whisper) 0momo0: So send it quickly, quickly!!!!!
(Whisper) Miu: ??????
(Whisper) Miu: What the hell ♥♥
Wow! Mo Yeon-hu smiled brightly at the heart.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Oh my – Wow – Oh!!!! Thank goodness!!!
(Whisper) 0momo0: Look at them throwing hearts without hesitation!!!!!
(Whisper) 0momo0: You’re a wonderful bitchㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It’s Miuㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
(Whisper) Miu: ?ㅋㅋ
(Whisper) 0momo0: I thought it was voice phishingㅠㅠㅠ
Mo Yeon-hu was relieved only after seeing the swear word filtering.
‘As expected, they were deliberately driving me as a spy until now!’
But… why?
Mo Yeon-hu, who had been thinking for a while, paused.
‘Could it be.’
How could he not have thought of this? If his assumption was correct, all the pieces would fit together.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu, I have a question
(Whisper) 0momo0: Are you suspecting all the Alliance Members of being spies right now?
Mo Yeon-hu’s eyes sparkled.
It made sense if they weren’t suspecting him of being a spy, but instead suspecting everyone except him of being spies.
Weren’t they deliberately driving away people who weren’t suspected of being spies?
(Whisper) 0momo0: Do you need my help?
To catch the real one hiding.
61 – The Mi-young Oppa Was Looking For Is Me Haha
61
However, Miu didn’t answer right away. Mo Yeon-hu tilted his head, wondering why they were silent even as the Alliance Members continued to chat.
‘I don’t have anything else to say.’
(Whisper) Miu: (Coordinates Link)
Ting, the notification rang. Coordinates instead of an answer?
Clicking the link revealed a location quite far from here.
(Whisper) Miu: I’ll explain in detail here.
‘So there is something after all.’
I wasn’t completely off base. But if we could just whisper, why go all the way there to talk?
There are people watching now, how am I supposed to move naturally?
(Alliance) BBQ: D…
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Please return to our Alliance Territory quickly;;ㅠㅠ
But the dilemma was quickly resolved. Miu summoned their Mount and disappeared after saying one thing.
(Alliance) Miu: I’m annoyed, so I’m going solo today.
(Alliance) Miu: Thanks for your hard work.
‘Wow, they diverted attention without a care?’
Mo Yeon-hu sighed at Miu’s easy departure to the coordinates alone.
‘What am I supposed to do…’
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Ah…ㅠㅠWhy are they like thatㅠㅠAre you okay, Momo?
(Alliance) BBQ: ㅠㅠAre you okay…
Shin Jadu and BBQ, as well as other Alliance Members, left messages expressing their bewilderment as they blankly watched Miu ride away on their tiger.
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: What should we do now that things have turned out like this..? Miu said they would try to talk it over well until yesterday….
(Alliance) FUNK: The more I think about it, the more pissed I get that we all opposed it.
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: D They seemed angry and kept quiet earlier too.
(Alliance) GoodLuck: Oh dear~ The atmosphere is really unsettling~~
(Alliance) BBQ: Actually, I suspected Momo at first….Haha..I wonder if that’s why this happened…Haha, sob sob (Alliance) MouseTrap: Sob sob sob, no sob sob sob
(Alliance) MouseTrap: It’s my fault for bringing it up..ㅠㅠ
The Alliance Members seemed to have misunderstood Mo Yeon-hu and Miu’s silence as them whispering to each other.
As a result, the Alliance chat room was no different from a funeral home. This is my chance.
(Alliance) 0momo0: Then I’ll log out in a safe place too..
(Whisper) 0momo0: Good work..
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: Me too..Sigh, I don’t know anything anymore. Don’t be discouraged, Momo~Fighting I’ll go in first!!!
(Alliance) BBQ: Ah..the atmosphere..Haha, I’m going in..
(Alliance) Cheers to the Eyes: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠByeBye
(Alliance) FUNK: ㅠGood work..
Mo Yeon-hu also subtly observed the situation before getting on his Mount and moving. Fortunately, no one seemed suspicious.
The chat atmosphere had been bad for the past few days, so some people seemed to have lost interest in playing and said their goodbyes before disappearing.
‘Was that natural?’
He looked back several times, just in case, but thankfully no one was following. After riding his Bike to the coordinates for a while, Mo Yeon-hu sent a whisper.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu, are you there??
(Notification) The whisper target is too far away to receive the message!
‘Ah, that’s why they told me to meet them at the coordinates…’
I can see why the Zombie Village users are complaining about the system’s inconvenience. If Alliance chat is impossible from a distance without a Radio, why would whispers be any different?
‘They could just give me their contact information… Ah, I shouldn’t find out Ms. Mi-yeong’s precious number like this.’
Mo Yeon-hu rode his Bike while thinking that.
‘Is it around here? What is this?’
The place he arrived at had a space that looked like an Alliance fortress. However, something was strange about calling it a fortress. The walls were all collapsed, and the inside was empty and eerie.
‘Is this the right place?’
Mo Yeon-hu blinked and carefully entered. The inside was even stranger. There were a lot of deeply dug pits, and it was full of useless junk items.
Mo Yeon-hu, who was looking around because he couldn’t see Miu’s clothes, let alone any sign of life, was about to have a heart attack when he saw a pair of eyes shining in the debris.
“Wow, really, uh!”
It was Miu.
(Whisper) 0momo0: Wow how can a person
(Whisper) Miu: Take this.
Unlike the surprised Mo Yeon-hu, Miu nonchalantly threw an item on the ground.
‘A Radio?’
It looked like an Alliance Radio. However, unlike the Alliance Radio, it was beige. When he put it in his inventory and pressed it, a new window was activated.
Channel03//active
(Whisper) Miu: Press channel 3 to enter.
(CH03) 0momo0: Oh!! Awesome, what is this???
(CH03) Miu: Radio that can open a personal channel. Keep it.
(CH03) 0momo0: Wow, amazing.
‘CH03…! It sounds so cool…!’
He felt like he had become a character in a spy movie, and his heart was pounding.
(CH03) 0momo0: But where is this???
(CH03) Miu: Ah, I have something to explain and something to give you, so I called you here.
(CH03) Miu: I thought it would be better to see it in person.
Something to explain and something to give?
Mo Yeon-hu tilted his head in confusion, and Miu asked.
(CH03) Miu: What do you think of this place?
(CH03) 0momo0: You mean where we are now??
(CH03) Miu: Yes.
(CH03) 0momo0: Just… it looks like ghosts will come out..
Torn flags with unknown drawings, bullet casings rolling on the floor, and collapsed walls.
The boxes were all gaping open, revealing their empty bellies, riddled with bullet holes… and the items that were occasionally visible were all useless.
(CH03) Miu: This was the Pegasus Alliance Territory, which was ranked 9th on X Server.
But this place was once the Alliance Territory of the 9th-ranked Alliance.
Isn’t 9th place a pretty high ranking? Why is it in ruins like this now?
(CH03) 0momo0: Huh?? Here???
(CH03) 0momo0: Why is it like this now??? Did they move???
(CH03) Miu: They all scattered to other Servers.
(CH03) 0momo0: Uh..why…?
(CH03) Miu: The Alliance collapsed two days ago.
What?
Mo Yeon-hu looked around in surprise, and Miu calmly explained.
(CH03) Miu: Several Alliances in the 10th to 20th ranks have been disappearing silently since last year.
(CH03) Miu: I didn’t pay attention because they were lower-ranked in my opinion.
(CH03) Miu: But recently, high-ranking Alliances have been disappearing, so I looked into it.
Miu moved their character.
Following them, he saw that the fence in the area where the walls were particularly thick was completely collapsed. The area near the fence was full of uncleaned bloodstains, countless bullet casings, and explosion marks, as if there had been a fierce battle.
‘Huh?’
Mo Yeon-hu paused. The densely layered walls and fences… wasn’t the structure somehow familiar?
‘It feels similar to where our Core was.’
The Core of 47 was also surrounded by thick and elaborate walls and fences.
(CH03) Miu: They were all heavily attacked.
(CH03) Miu: To the point where the Core was completely destroyed.
As expected, this was where Pegasus’s Core had been.
The scars on the ground indicated that there had been a fierce battle. Seeing this reminded him of when 47’s Core was attacked. The shocked Shin Jadu and the Alliance Members who desperately tried to defend the center. It was resolved soon after, but it was a hellish situation.
(CH03) 0momo0: Does the Alliance collapse if there is no Core????
(CH03) Miu: It’s troublesome to restore, but it doesn’t collapse because you can rebuild the Core by re-establishing the territory or repairing it with the remaining resources.
(CH03) 0momo0: Uh, then why didn’t they restore it here???
(CH03) 0momo0: They must have had a lot of money since they were 9th..
From what Mo Yeon-hu had seen so far, the higher the Alliance, the wealthier they were. Just looking at 47, the warehouse was never empty.
Therefore, even if the Core of the 9th-ranked Alliance was destroyed, they should have had the power to restore it.
(CH03) Miu: I was wondering too, so I contacted Pegasus, and they told me right away.
Miu’s character stares at Mo Yeon-hu again.
(CH03) Miu: That they couldn’t do anything.
(CH03) 0momo0: Couldn’t do anything????
(CH03) Miu: They said that no matter what they did, whether they moved the Core, hid it, or moved the Alliance Territory altogether, the Core was attacked and destroyed.
(CH03) Miu: They were all attacked in the shortest amount of time, so they thought there was an internal leak and changed people several times.
(CH03) Miu: But no matter how many suspicious people they replaced, the Core kept getting destroyed… and eventually, the Alliance Members completely broke up and scattered.
Mo Yeon-hu was even more surprised by Miu’s next words.
(CH03) Miu: This isn’t just one or two places.
(CH03) Miu: At least 5 within the Server Alliance rankings.
(CH03) Miu: They moved the Core several times, but they were all destroyed, and in the end, they suspected each other, fought, and split up to other Servers. It’s all the same.
The Alliances disappeared for the same reason?
(CH03) Miu: Therefore, I think someone… or a group is intentionally spreading spies.
It seems that spies are repeatedly informing their main base of the Core’s location, eventually leading to the Alliance Members distrusting each other and breaking down…
(CH03) Miu: This time it’s our turn.
Miu seemed to think that this time it was 47’s turn.
