Chapter 104 – 104. Finally to Busan
It took off.
Finally, the item I was dreaming of appeared.
“Ugh…!!!”
Shouts of joy. I held hands and danced with Saeyeon on the spot. How can I share this joy?
Happy. I felt indescribable joy at the fact that hair was growing on my head again.
No matter how comfortable it is to shave your head in real life, there is a world of difference between shaving your head for convenience and being forced to shave your head because you have no hair.
“Huh…”
“Hehe.. Inho. Great job. “I received virtue by living hard.”
“Is that really so..”
To say that I have been blessed by living hard, I have killed more than 100 people. Is this true that I have received virtue?
Is the god of this world really an evil god? Or maybe he’s such a high-level being that he doesn’t care about human morals..
Anyway, thanks to my hard work to survive, I was able to regenerate hair, which was thought to be impossible in reality. It is fundamentally different from black hair or wigs. Real hair grows.
“Wait a minute, Inho. Calm down. First of all, this…”
“It means you have to put it in a liquid converter.”
“Yep. Right. “If you use it right away, you never know when you’ll get it again.”
“Right.”
I also had no intention of applying it right away. This is an item that eliminates my penalty. Plus, since it’s a one-time serving, you can’t just waste it.
‘Even if only 30 strands fall out now… If 30 strands continue to fall out, it will eventually be no different from hair loss.’
In addition, I have to protect the hair of my women who receive skills from me. Therefore, I had to stock up on a few bottles of this and keep them ready so that I could use them next time I needed them.
Make sure to keep at least one bottle so you can use it again and again.
“I can’t use it right now.”
“I see..”
You have to obtain a high-level magic stone to be able to duplicate it, but it was impossible with the magic stones we currently have. I really need to collect some magic stones tonight.
‘The collapsed Sanctuary of Raythena has an advanced level of difficulty… I guess there are many people who drop intermediate level or higher magic stones…’
I’ll have to go in today. To return to normal Kang In-ho.
“I’ll go out again first.”
“Huh. Fighting.”
I went out of the labyrinth again, supported by Saeyeon.
We have to move diligently while the sun is still up.
******
“I’m here.”
When we went outside, the three people were still sitting in silence. The atmosphere seemed a bit gloomy. I guess I’m glad I didn’t run away.
Well, it would be difficult to escape in this situation. Because you never know when I will pop out and chase you.
“First, get one skill.”
I handed over C-level physical enhancement to Kang Ji-yeon’s biological mother. First of all, I plan to quickly grow up the weakest among the four of us and send her into her labyrinth. I wish I could go in and make some food.
“Uncle, please wait a moment. “I don’t have any skills to give right away.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Originally, I was going to give one of the two a stimulant drink. A drink that tastes like bugs. But after getting the liquid converter, I thought I shouldn’t give it away hastily.
‘To put it bluntly, we don’t know whether our parents or other family members have awakened or not.. So we can’t just give them the only awakening drink..’
I think I can save it and give it to you when I copy a few bottles with advanced magic stones. I drew 20 bottles, but only 1 bottle came out, so I can’t use all of them.
I’m sorry to the old man, but I won’t be able to give you the skill until you kill another survivor later, or until a drink with the same effect comes out when you draw the drink.
I explained to Jiyeon Kang why I couldn’t give her a drink, and Jiyeon nodded her head in understanding.
“First of all, the more people move around, the more cluttered it gets… So I’ll start by raising the lady’s survival level as I move. Then her aunt and Jiyeon enter the labyrinth. From then on, she just goes around with you and me.”
“Ah.. Over there.”
“Huh?”
“Can’t I keep going with you?”
“Uh.. Well. Yes.”
Kang Ji-yeon seemed anxious about entering her labyrinth, leaving only her father outside her. Since I killed Mira Yoo and Su-yeon Kim right away… I may be afraid that they will treat me as an accidental death because I am useless.
Of course, I had no intention of shaking Kang Ji-yeon’s mentality of her, so I was planning on just taking her with her as long as the man did not act like a crazy troll. But she says she wants to be with me, but I can’t order her to come in.
She said she just do it.
“Then… Let’s go out. Here, everyone wears the gloves you brought. “Mr. And Mrs., Please wear helmets here as well.”
I provided basic equipment. Zombies are actually small mobs that can be defeated by just hitting them hard on the head, but they have an overwhelming quantity and an instant death that means game over if they are bitten even once, so no matter how much safety you need, it is not enough.
“Here, get your weapons.”
“Oh.. This is..”
“Yes. This is an object classified as an item. “You can’t see the explanation.”
“Uh.. Yes.”
“You will see it later when you get the skill.”
People who have not awakened the skill cannot even read the description of the item. Therefore, only the lady realized that the item I gave her was an item.
“Now, Jiyeon, you take the lead. The lady and the uncle follow you. “I will take care of everything.”
“Yes..”
“I understand..”
I can’t give up my back. No bond has yet been formed with Kang Ji-yeon’s parents. Even though we’ve incorporated him into our team, we can’t completely trust him and give him our back.
It would be foolish to give the back to Young-sik or Jun-ho unless they work well together.
“Uuuuu…”
-Bang! Bang!
“Oh my…”
“There was quite a crowd.”
No matter how much aggro you try to get rid of, if even one animal approaches and starts making a fuss, nearby zombies will quickly gather.
Most of them had chased after the dark spirits, so there were only about a dozen zombies that came up to the building we were hiding in.
Just deal with it quickly and get out.
“I’ll open the door. It will come in right away.”
“Jiyeon… Be careful…”
Kang Ji-yeon was worried about her parents because of her lack of zombie hunting experience, and conversely, Kang Ji-yeon’s parents were worried about her.
Anyway, you have to open the door to get out. Kang Ji-yeon pulled open her locked door.
Then the zombies that were hitting the door fell inside and poured in.
“Don’t look and pick the head quickly.”
“Ah, yes..!”
“Ugh..!!”
I urged the two panicked people to cut off the zombie’s head and prepare to prevent any untoward incident.
-Puhwaak!!!!
“Ugh..!!”
-Peeoeoog!!!!!
Contrary to my worries, Kang Ji-yeon’s parents steadily reduced the number of zombies. It is a simple task that involves just hitting the heads of those who have fallen with a high-performance item.
If I couldn’t do this well, I would honestly be quite disappointed.
“Haa.. Haa..”
“Cough.. Cough..”
Kang Ji-yeon’s parents are out of breath. As she moved her body in a nervous state, it seemed like she was having a lot of trouble. However, there is no time to rest like this.
“Let’s get out quickly. “I will go straight to the bike shop I mentioned earlier.”
“Yes…!”
“Yes!”
Fortunately, both of them are clearly listening to me. I’m glad that you follow my instructions even if I don’t give you an order.
I think that when I entered the base, Kang Ji-yeon told her parents about me and what happened to her in the auditorium.
At this point, most other people are enemies, and when you take care of them, you should be able to take care of them and be able to serve one person.
Anyway, we quickly got to the bike shop. Many bicycles were missing, as other survivors had already stolen some.
Still, there’s still enough left for us to ride.
“Let’s grab something easy to ride and get out right away.”
I wondered if there was someone who couldn’t ride a bike, but everyone knew how to ride a bike. Kang Ji-yeon’s parents were said to have been a couple in college, and they often rode together back then.
It was information I was not curious about at all, but I was able to hear it while riding a bicycle. Because ladies and gentlemen talk a lot.
Still, I felt like the audio was full, so I left it alone.
“First, let’s go straight down the highway. I think it would be safer to go down on the highway than to just go down without a plan.”
“Let’s do that..”
Our plan was simple.
It goes straight down the highway.
It seemed like it would be easier to find the way this way and there would be fewer zombies.
Since the area next to the city center would be a living hell, I decided to rest in a suitable small town or rural area or check in between and avoid big cities as much as possible.
It’s crazy to jump into the city center when you’re not even going to farm anything. And above all, since our destination is Busan, which may be just as chaotic as Seoul, there is no need to go through the troubles of another city.
“But man. She said she rode her bike to Gangneung.”
“Yeah, that’s right..”
“So roughly how long does it take to get from here to Busan?”
“Hmm.. I think it will take about one to three days.”
“Three days?”
“Yes. If you walk, I don’t know, but if you ride a bike, you can go that fast… I think it will probably take a week if you take a break in between… You won’t be able to move even at night…”
“I guess so..”
As the man said, you can go a little faster by biking rather than walking. However, he said that since his physical strength is not infinite, it may take up to a week or more if he rests in between.
I think I’ll probably use up all my time this week by going to Busan.
‘Because you don’t just have to go to Busan… ‘
There are now less than three weeks left until the sun sets and winter begins. Before that, you have to stop by Mulgeum, Busan, and Gimhae.
There are my parents, Saeyeon’s sister’s family, and Hyuna’s mother.
“Brother. “Over there.”
“Huh?”
At that time, Jiyeon, who was riding a bicycle in the lead, stopped.
What she was seeing was a shattered toll gate.
“Zombie…Fuck it.”
The cars were so messed up that it was unclear how many collisions had occurred at the toll gate. Still, it’s okay if you take a side street…
“Ghoul…”
The being standing at the center of the zombies was looking down on us.
It was a ‘smart-looking’ ghoul.
Since we’ve already run into each other, I’ll just grab it and go.
