My Level Zero System

Kain said slowly.

As for the reason, it's obviously to protect these people.

If it was the previous Adventurer party, there would be nothing to worry about, but now they were almost all dead, with only four people left. With Andrew added, it became five people. On top of that, all their equipment was gone.

In that situation, carrying such valuable goods with you is not to get rich, but to commit suicide.

Even though the goods were covered with cloth, it only prevented other greedy people from guessing what was inside. This might restrain some greedy people, but there would always be a few reckless people who didn't pay attention.

The others also quickly understood that, so they didn't have any opinions.

A male Adventurer volunteered to pull the cart, and the remaining five began pushing the cart toward the door leading outside the Dungeon.

…

After a moment of confusion, with the feeling of space in their eyes being distorted, all six people and the carriage safely reached the path leading to the Dungeon.

"Let's go, remember to show some pain. If anyone asks what's piled up in the carman, just say it's the remains of your comrades."

With such a sensitive issue, if the things piled up on the cart were the remains of the dead, it would make sense to cover them up, because no one would want to reveal them.

The five people nodded nervously.

As they pushed the cart further and further away, out of the Dungeon's range and into the town of Kadata. They get more attention.

"Hey, isn't this the Adventurer team?"

"I heard that they had previously set their goal to advance to the fourth floor of the Dungeon."

"It must be true, well, the only thing that could have caused such a powerful Adventurer party to be almost completely wiped out could only be the fourth floor of the Dungeon."

"I remember there were nearly thirty of them, and they had previously recruited a dozen more Adventurers to "hitchhike" with them, but when they came out, there were only six left."

"It was disastrous."

Around them, some people sighed, lamenting the impermanence of life, some felt regretful, sympathizing with the current situation of the Adventurer group. If it was only the Adventurer who had hitched a ride and died inside, people might still suspect that this Adventurer group had tricked and killed the others. But in this situation, that was definitely not the case.

However, there are still greedy people who seem to smell money.

"Hey, don't you wonder what's inside that cargo van?"

"What else, most likely a relic of a dead person..."

"Oh, thinking that way is right. But do you really think that after spending so much, those people would accept leaving empty-handed? I don't think so."

"Yeah, you're right. Now that you mention it, these people escaped, they must have killed the monster guarding the fourth floor, right?"

"You mean..."

"What else could it be? If both your and my guesses are correct, the thing inside that cargo carriage must be the spoils of war from the fourth floor's guardian monster."

"Otherwise, why would they bother? Look, it's a car made of bones. Even though the Adventurers have a camaraderie with each other, death is the end, there's no need to go to such lengths."

Sure enough, in a town that is in a semi-outlaw state like Kadata, there aren't too many idiots.

Then, more and more suspicious and greedy gazes gradually appeared, staring at the Adventurers, making them shiver as if there were thorns stabbing their backs.

Only Kain remained calm, because he had predicted this scene.

At this moment, someone finally couldn't contain their greed and approached to ask questions.

These people want to judge what the container is through the Adventurers' tone and expressions.

It was just too bad for them, the Adventurers were prepared thanks to Kain's reminder, lying without blinking an eye.

As for the vague questions about what was actually loaded on the cargo truck, they all answered firmly, "the remains of the deceased." During that process, everyone answered quickly and naturally, without showing any sign of being forced.

This has left some greedy people with nothing to show for it.

However, this ordeal is not so easy to overcome.

Just as Kain and the Adventurers were passing through a narrow, deserted path, they were blocked by another group of Adventurers.

As they wanted to retreat to avoid this path, their expressions turned ugly when they realized that there was another group of Adventurers blocking their way behind them.

This is the siege.

"Hey, are you guys insane? Do you believe I'll report this to the Adventure Guild?""

A loud voice shouted.

Adventure Guild is the organization that manages and leads Adventurers, of course there are also rules to protect Adventurers.

If in such an organization, looting, killing, and raping were openly accepted, then there would be no need to wait for the organization to disintegrate itself, the government would have already taken action to crack down on it.

Their Adventurer group was not low level after all, if they were robbed then Adventure Guild would seek justice for them.

However, unless they were forced into a corner, they would not use this method. Because if their team was still strong, then it would be fine, but now they had collapsed and were left with only a few people.

Faced with that threat, the robbers even laughed out loud, as if they had just seen something very funny and ridiculous.

"Then we just need to kill you all, who will report to us?"

This statement made the Adventurers shiver.

Right, who will report these bandits?

Expect others to see injustice and act righteously?

Afraid those people are the greediest, like hungry vultures waiting for their meal to die.

"Don't come any closer! Many people saw us appear before, if you dare to make a move, do you think Adventure Guild won't investigate?"
