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.
