Terrestrial Savior Archetype - T.S.A Chapter 1 (part 2). Survey (1)

– Beep…!

It was a sound that conveyed a very aggressive and overwhelming feeling.

This was the first time Jeong-woo truly experienced a sense of “reality.”

Did the experimental mice that were treated unilaterally by humans feel like this?

It was an overwhelmingly powerful demonstration, filled with some kind of intention.

Next, the text in front of them changed.

“Please pay attention, everyone. The survey we are about to conduct may have a significant impact on your life. So please respond seriously if possible. You are responsible for the results of your answers.”

“What…?”

“Huh?”

“…Let’s stop this crazy joke. Whoever it is, that’s enough.”

It hadn’t been long since the disturbing undercover recordings, but in the meantime, the voices from the development department had weakened. They were starting to get scared.

And the same went for the division head who was angry just a moment ago.

“What kind of madness…!”

The division head’s voice, uttering curses with a trembling voice, suddenly disappeared.

It literally vanished. As if someone had pressed the mute button.

“……!”

Everyone who had been quietly listening to the sound raised their heads with a profound sense of discomfort.

But it didn’t end there.

Soon, the throats of all the employees tensed with tension.

They realized that not only the division head’s voice but their own voices had also been muted.

Not even a whimper was allowed.

It felt like the sound of humans had been completely removed.

“……”

In the chilling silence, the text in front of them changed once again.

At that moment, Jeong-woo, who was somewhere in the silent matrix, flinched in his mind.

‘This is going beyond my expectations…’

-Question 1. If you have to fight with two medium-sized dogs and one human until one side dies, which side would you choose to fight with bare hands?

-Answer within 20 seconds.

The time limit was 20 seconds. It was too tight to deduce the intention of this question. Jeong-woo asked himself what the exact definition of ‘medium-sized dogs’ was.

‘If it were large-sized dogs, I could guess roughly, but how big are medium-sized dogs?’

Then, as if the questioner understood this, the appearance of a certain animal was suddenly shown.

The example of a medium-sized dog that came to Jeong-woo’s mind was an American Bulldog.

It seemed to have a body length of at least one meter, and its legs that touched the ground were bulging with well-developed muscles.

‘Fight against those things…?’

In Jeong-woo’s mind, which had been thinking about a dog like a Cocker Spaniel, he could only be dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, the remaining time decreased to 15 seconds.

‘Then, what about humans? Is there no example of a human?’

If there were a ‘human example’ prepared and it looked like an ordinary person, Jeong-woo intended to choose a fight against a human without hesitation.

In his mind, he could picture himself tearing the neck and thigh of the opponent apart without any hesitation.

However, during the five seconds that passed, no example appeared.

‘Is it meant to be imagined? Or is it truly randomized?’

Now, there were only 10 seconds left.

‘…Damn it.’

Jeong-woo, who was far from being muscular, imagined a combat partner who was over 190 centimeters tall and had an unstable body.

He wanted to think of someone who seemed as weak as possible, but it didn’t go as smoothly as he wished.

After imagining a combat partner with overwhelming ‘physical’ compared to himself, the process of the fight naturally unfolded in his mind.

The basis of his simulation data came from a few fights he had experienced in his school days, such as “dogfights,” and street fight videos of ordinary people he occasionally watched on the internet.

Especially, Jeong-woo, who had a bitter experience of being defeated miserably in a fight against a guy who was preparing for the college physical education entrance exam during high school, knew very well.

He knew how much the difference in power affected the outcome of a fight.

‘Crazy, only 4 seconds left…!’

Jeong-woo clenched his lips tightly and glanced at the time limit indicated below the question.

If he didn’t fight against humans one-on-one, he had to fight with two burdensome-sized dogs.

It meant he had to fight against dogs with a physical advantage.

Whether this was simply a personality test or a real event that would happen in the future, he couldn’t know for sure, as it was a life-related survey. He couldn’t make a hasty decision.

‘If it’s just one medium-sized dog, I could somehow manage it.’

2 seconds remained.

Feeling the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, Jeong-woo closed his eyes tightly.

Then, he tightened the muscles around his jawline.

As the trembling intensified in his head, the droplets of sweat that had gathered on his forehead fell with a plop.

“My choice is two medium-sized dogs.”

With just 1 second remaining, Jeong-woo barely finished his answer.

Then, a sound like scanning a barcode was heard.

Beep.

Afterward, the question changed.

-Question 2. If you have to cut off a part of your body weighing more than 1 kilogram, where would you choose?

-You must choose only one part. Answer within 20 seconds.
