"There sure are various items in this store thing..."
While scrolling down the store tab Adwin stumbled upon its darkside unfortunately.
[...
• Medium Grade Healing Potion : 10000
• Medium Grade Potion Of Agility : 30000
...
• Draconic Daggers : 200000
• Shield of Immortality : 300000
...]
"F*ck... Sh*t... I'm cooked!"
Seeing such items and their prices Adwin realised that no matter what situation you are in money is the most important and valuable thing in the whole world.
***
Everywhere except the safe zone swarmed monsters. Even though almost all the monsters were smaller ones, they could easily kill the current survivors. The safe zone only covered a small area, so it was going to be a bit of a hassle giving shelter to more than 200 people.
Suddenly a random sound rang and a quest appeared in through the system.
[ SUB QUEST

REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SURVIVORS TO 100.
DIFFICULTY : F

"W-What is this message?"
Hana was quite confused about it, so she looked towards Adwin to see if he knows something. But his face was telling something else.
"Hey... what happened?"
"H-Hana... Stay with me."
"W-what are you saying?!"
"You don't know? Read the information of the quest closely...it says to kill each other indirectly..."
"No that couldn't be..."
"You think someone would willingly go out of the safe zone? If someone were to force then a fight will ultimately break out..."
"...Oi! You grandma y-you are already old enough aren't you?"
The voices from the crowd interrupted what he saying.
"From everything they have seen, this sudden quest must've put quite some pressure in their mind...a perfect scenery to enjoy..."
"Oi oi grandma aren't you 90 years old already?"
A young man with a knife approached her. And one interesting fact was that everyone let him do so even when they saw that he had a knife in his hands.
"Yes y-you should die already!"
These voices echoed through the whole area. Suddenly blood splattered all over the ground.
"Hey hey! Can't you see the time is ticking very fast? Do it already it's not like all of you are all about justice and sh*t. If you won't do that then wouldn't we die. You clearly saw how that creature came and just killed a person. See there is only 30 minutes left!"
[....
TIME LEFT : 30:23]
[...
TIME LEFT : 30:22]
[...
TIME LEFT : 30:21]
All of sudden it was a nightmare. The one who started it started to kill anyone on his sight non stop followed by others.
"Hana come with me!"
He grabbed her hands and took her away from the scene. He could feel that she was scared to death as her hands were as cold as ice. After a glance at her he saw that man charging at her.
"Sh*t!"
"Hey hey! Prince charming why are you protecting your princess. Do you not want to survive. You should just kill her she is useless anyways."
While he was speaking nonsense Adwin threw Hana towards a shop just near the corner.
"Hahah! So you are going to be my kill huh!"
The madman charges towards him with all his might, aiming the knife towards Adwin's abdomen.
Crash!
"W-What a shield?!"
"Holy f*ck why does this man have so much strength?"
Right after this message popped up he quickly bought a shield and put it in his inventory. Even though he didn't want to waste any coins or kill anyone now it looked impossible to do so.

"Again?... This great general of war seems interested in me huh! Then why don't you just help me?!"

"Coins?!... Looks like I know what he wants to see."
"Hey what happened? See I told you we all are the same. I bought a knife, you bought a shield. So why shouldn't we team up. I bet we will be the most invincible duo, come lets handshake!"
He lowered the knife and reached out to Adwin.
"Huh! Your shield is now mine!"
He attacked Adwin but it seemed like he fell on the ground all of a sudden.
It was when that man arched his back for a better angle that Adwin gave a hard heel kick and made balance off since his legs were too far from each other.
"Ah! You tripped?"
"You bastard! Using dirty tricks...fight me...fair and square!"
Adwin throws the shield to the man's face that hit him hard. He then quickly grabbed the knife that fell from his hands on the ground stabbed his leg.
"Arghhh!"
"Damn... Holy moly.... I thought I was gonna die...what about the general of war now?"
[The Great General Of War Is Disappointed In You For This Act]
"Disappointed?! Well not like my problem I got extra 100 Coins so it's alrig—huh!"
"Hahah! You thought I will let you go? Take this!"
There was a steel sword in his hands which he aimed directly towards Adwin's solar plexus.
"Sh*t looks like I'm dead!"
But all of a sudden the sword fell from his hands. It was Hana who slammed a large rock on his head. She was panting and groveled on the ground; it was a huge shock for her mind and heart. She didn't want to kill a person.
[The Bringer Of Justice Is Pleased By Your Action And Rewards You With 200 Coins]
"Sorry! I'm sorry,!"
Adwin went to her tried to console her.
"Hey...you okay?"
It was clear that her face was full of tears when she looked at Adwin.
"I-I killed a person. Please forgive me!"
"No don't cry now he deserved it. Also if you wouldn't have interfered he would've killed me."
He hugged and a thought came to his mind.
"Wasn't this the safe zone? Even if it was a sub quest shouldn't we have been safe inside the safe zone?... It looks like we are only protected from the monsters roaming outside...but then again it is very hard to digest this fact...unless... something unusual might have happened."
