A survival principle for the apocalypse:


    Never be obedient.


    If someone tells you to drop your weapon, doing so is equivalent to entrusting them with your life and everything else you own.


    Therefore, ignoring demands to disarm or surrender is the correct choice.@@@@


    Conversations between people holding weapons capable of killing one another should proceed differently.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    I fired into the air.


    The advancing elderly men hesitated.


    Feeling the chilling silence spread through the forest, I finally opened my mouth.


    “I think I took a wrong turn. I’ll just leave.”


    Yet, in every syllable, they radiated an unwavering intent to harm me in some form.


    “Show yourself now! Drop the gun!”


    “Stop being stubborn! We know you’re alone!”


    It is well-documented in anthropology that isolated groups tend to develop hostility toward outsiders.


    But we weren’t in some remote part of Oceania—we were in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.


    For elderly men to have become this belligerent required further study.


    Of course, I hadn’t come here today to research the aggression of elderly survivalist groups.


    “I’ll say it again. I simply took a wrong turn. I have no intention of fighting, and I want to avoid unnecessary conflict.”


    My luck was clearly terrible today.


    “Shut the fuck up! You came to spy on us, didn’t you?”


    “You’re here to steal our crops, huh?!”


    One rifle, 90 rounds.One handgun, three 12-round magazines.No grenades.Two axes.
