Chapter: 31
In the end, Yeom Iljung had no choice but to step back while covering his wounded eye. Pyo-wol looked at him for a moment, then backed away holding his portion of food.
So Yeowol whispered to him.
�What are you going to do now? You turned them all into enemies.�
�Even if they didn�t turn into my enemies, I already consider everyone here as my enemies anyway.�
�What do you mean?�
Instead of answering, Pyo-wol shrugged his shoulders and moved on. The children in front of him stepped aside. Pyo-wol passed by them and climbed onto the roof of a nearby building.
The roof of the building has the best place to monitor the area. With what he did to Yeom Iljung just now, Pyo-wol made all the children in the underground cavity hostile. The highest place was chosen because it was necessary to monitor whether children would secretly approach him during their eating time.
The food in Pyo-wol�s hand was a rice cake. It had been a long time since they had been made, so the rice cakes were hard and tasteless. However, Pyo-wol silently chewed the rice cake without complaining.
As he sat on the roof and surveyed the view, he could see the surrounding landscape in more detail.
�This is a test, a test to filter out useful children.�
Throwing the children one by one in a space completely cut off from the outside was a clear process to filter out useful children. Such a process could not end immediately. This process would be repeated over and over again, and it was clear that many children would continue to die in the process.
He could think of cooperating with other children to fight back, but Pyo-wol did not believe that things would turn out so smoothly.
It was their intention to drive so many children into one place.
It will certainly put the children at risk by testing them in one way or another.
Until now, they still haven�t appeared and were still forcing the children to survive on their own. If so, it was clear that the same method would be used this time as well.
Making children kill each other or making them suspicious of each other.�
�If that happens, everyone will be each other�s enemy.�
If they were going to be an enemy anyway, it doesn�t matter if they become his enemy a little earlier. Because he would be able to examine the situation a little more clearly.
Pyo-wol looked at the panoramic view under the underground cavity for a long time.

Food came down once a day, always at the same time.
As the food came down, each group fought a nerve war to get even a little more food.
Food was directly related to survival, and in order to increase the probability of survival even by a little, the children tried to secure even a little more food.
As time passed, the children�s antagonism grew more and more intense. The more it happened, the more prominent the presence of the children who served as the heads of each group became.
It was definitely So Yeowol, who showed the greatest presence among the leaders. So Yeowol, who is a woman, secures the most food for her group. Then after securing as much food as possible, she still only ate the smallest amount.
And she took good care of the children who followed her. The strong loyalty of the children who followed So Yeowol was natural.�
The next largest group was Kang Il�s group.�
Kang Il had a very quiet personality. He was so silent to the point of not saying a word all day. Nonetheless, he took great care of the children who followed him. He was the type of person who showed his leadership through actions instead of words.
The group led by Go Youngsan has a strong personality. It may be because Go Youngsan has a bubbly personality, but the personalities of the children who followed him were somewhat similar.
Finally, there was a group led by Yeom Iljung. At first, many children followed Yeom Il-jung, but when they saw him lose one of his eyes and was humiliated by Pyo-wol, many children left. JrNovels.com
