Chapter 20 – 20. Robbing the Fruit Shop With the Bakers

I immediately activated the ability detection ability on my part-timer at the bakery. Fortunately, the part-time job at the bakery was afraid of us, so the ability was activated immediately.

[Incompetent person]

Fortunately or unfortunately, the part-time job at the bakery did not have any skills. You haven’t killed a single zombie yet.

“Don’t cry because I don’t want to fight. “If you cry, zombies will come.”

“Huh..”

The part-timer at the bakery quickly covered his mouth at my warning. I had Junho and Seunghee check to make sure there was no one else inside the bakery.

“Ahh..!”

As expected, the woman was not alone. Jun Ho Jae dragged out the baker who was hiding in the corner of the kitchen. There was blood on his body, so he probably killed a zombie that came into the bakery.

If you kill a zombie or anything else, there is a possibility that your abilities have been awakened. It might be a dangerous ability, so I quickly used Ability Insight on the baker as well.

[Hand of the Sun (Class D)]

[Effect: If you get enough sleep, your hands will become very warm.]

[Penalty: None]

‘What is this again.. The king of baking?’

No, I think this was my first time seeing a D-level ability. There is no penalty, no handicap, nothing. It was said to be an insignificant ability.

‘It’s not worth taking something like that… ‘

He has very ambiguous abilities. Judging by the ability to see the ability, the skill was clear, but it was neither particularly great nor very useful.

I couldn’t waste my hair to take away that ability, lest I have excess hair.

“Uncle Junho.”

“Huh?”

“First of all, he doesn’t have much ability, but he is capable.”

“What? “Oh my.”

Jun Ho-jae is started by my words and retreats from the baker, hiding Seung-hee behind him. He quickly widened the distance, fearing that he or Seunghee might be taken hostage. Because unproven abilities are dangerous.

I asked my part-time job at the bakery, who was still holding back her tears with her mouth covered.

“Are you related to that man?”

I asked because it is difficult to let go of one person if they are related.

“Oh, no… I’m just the boss. “We’re not that close..”

When I asked him a bit fiercely, the part-timer at the bakery shook his head vigorously and denied it. Perhaps it was obvious that I disliked that man. I guess the intention is to quickly make a loss. It was a little funny that he didn’t think I would abandon him.

“Hey, Kim Hyun-ah! “I saved you, so why are you saying that?”

The bakery owner gets angry when his part-time job and his at the bakery is being rude and drawing a line. It seems he couldn’t control his emotions, perhaps because he was afraid of being abandoned.

“That’s because the boss… No, he killed himself to save his life. Why can’t he save me!”

“This bitch!!”

As the tense atmosphere continues, the two people slander each other and get excited and try to fight. Normally, in situations like this, it’s easier to get excited and fight easily. But no matter how possible it is, have these bastards lost their sense of fear?

I never thought we would slander each other when there are zombies roaming the streets. It seems like we didn’t normally get along very well. Well, it’s rare to find a part-time job that likes the boss.

First, I quickly stopped the two people.

“For now, both of you, shut up. Are you crazy? Do you want to be killed by a zombie? “I don’t know if they have any thoughts in a situation like this.. I will kill anyone who screams from now on.”

The two people quickly shut their mouths at my words. When there was a brief lull, I told Saeyeon to put everything in the store, including bread and cakes, as well as flour and eggs, into the inventory. The original purpose was to put perishable food in the inventory before it spoiled.

‘Hmm.. What should I do..’

While Seunghee and Saeyeon were putting bread in the inventory, I thought for a moment.

First of all, the bakery owner is a talented person, but he has awakened a very useless ability. However, since awakening is awakening, if you increase your survival level, you can enter the dungeon together and increase your stats.

This means that the skills are trash, but there are uses for them. Also, because he is a man, his physical abilities will be higher than that of a woman. I don’t know if the time will come when I will use my baking skills, but for now, I have the skills.

However, that pretty part-time job is incompetent. Honestly, if you look at its appearance alone, it’s a look that you wouldn’t want to throw away. Should I say that she has the same appearance as Saeyeon? But I don’t have the skills. In fact, even that is fine, but the fact that he may be an incompetent person who cannot awaken himself is very unsettling.

‘I should think about asking them to kill zombies… If they awaken, take them with them, and if they don’t wake up, throw them away… ‘

Can’t help it. Since I’m not going to use it as a public prostitute’s or dick’s house, I don’t have the energy to bring a bunch of luggage with me. No matter how pretty they are, the value of non-awakened people is greatly reduced. Moreover, I hadn’t even created a proper base yet, so it was difficult to drag a woman around without a status window or skills.

“Inho, I got everything. Seunghee wrote it down so I got it quickly.”

“…”

Seunghee, who used the unlock key to unlock the bakery door, was banned from speaking for an hour as a penalty. So, I couldn’t respond to Saeyeon’s compliment and just smiled and nodded. It’s amazing that I can laugh in this situation. For a high school student, he has very high mental strength.

“Well, since we’ve packed all our things, let’s stop by the fruit shop first.”

“Now, wait a minute.. We..”

“The man over there… Take something from the store that can be used as a weapon. Come with us.”

“Ah.. Thank you.”

When the baker heard that we were taking him with him, his face lit up. First of all, I will take you with me, but if you are the type of person I cannot communicate with, I will throw you away without mercy. Maybe I should tell Junho to kill him at that time. Because I don’t want to kill myself and lose my hair for no reason.

“Uh, over there.. I am..”

“You… Let’s go together for now. If you cause trouble by screaming or making noise when you see a zombie, I won’t forgive you.”

“Yes.. I’ll be careful..”

“Good. Then, you quickly get your weapons.”

“Ah.. Yes..”

The pretty bakery worker went into the kitchen and came out carrying a flour rolling pin. It feels a bit odd to be a weapon, but it could probably be enough to hit a zombie’s head. Because zombies are still weak.

“I took care of it too..”

The baker brought out a frying pan. The fry pen experiences more air resistance than you think, so your arms will hurt if you keep swinging it. You can go to the hardware store and replace it later.

“Then let’s go out.” We plan to rob the fruit store and all the other stores here, so please follow us carefully. And for your information, the Dongyeong High School guys are currently killing people and kidnapping women in this neighborhood, so don’t think about leaking and exposing our information. There is an army, but the zombies have all flocked in after hearing the gunshots, so don’t get your hopes up because we don’t know what will happen.”

Today I gave up hope in the military after reading a survivor’s diary. Because the situation is not going to get better just because the soldiers come forward. In a month, the sun will set, and when that happens, this world will definitely be destroyed.

When that happens, will soldiers still protect civilians for free? No, does the military function properly as an army in the first place? In an era where nothing, even the country that needs to be protected, has disappeared? Why?

I think not. In particular, this country is harsh on its soldiers, so all the fucking officers will probably die from our own guns. It was obvious that by the time the worst happened and the murder of superiors was carried out, the powerless civilians would be reduced to slaves.

No matter how good your skills are, in front of a firearm you are just a piece of meat. Moreover, considering that a soldier with skills is holding a gun, it may be best to avoid any contact with the military.

“Okay then… “

I hurried out, checking to see if there were any zombies in close range. Saeyeon ran after me, followed by Seunghee and Junho, who came out of the bakery. The bakery people also followed us. The baker and his part-timer had been stuck in the bakery immediately after the disaster, so they looked nervous when they came out.

“Seunghee.. This place is locked too..”

“…”

Seunghee nodded her head and opened the locked door of the fruit shop. With this, Seunghee’s silent meditation practice was added by one hour. It must have been very frustrating to be forced to not speak, but it didn’t seem that way at all. Well, even when he could talk, he wasn’t very talkative, so it was understandable.

“No one..”

“Confirm..”

“Mister.”

“Huh?”

“Take Seunghee and that baker… There’s a butcher shop across the street. Two-story.”

“Uh. Should I check over there?”

“Yes. “I’ll leave right away after I clean up here.”

“Okay.. Be careful, Inho..”

“Yes, you and Seunghee too..”

There is no reason for everyone to gather together. It is more efficient to move separately. It would be better for Junho, Seunghee, and the baker to open the door first and clear out the zombies, followed by me, Saeyeon, and the bakery part-timer.

“Sister, take care of it alone for a moment.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“I’m trying to get this woman to kill some zombies. “I might wake up.”

“Huh..! Come quickly..!”

“Uh. “I’ll be back in 5 minutes.”

The cries of zombies can be heard inside the mall. Roughly three. I’ll have to have the part-timer at this bakery kill those guys.

“You can gain skills by killing zombies. There are times when you can’t get it, but I’ll give you a zombie anyway, so kill it.”

“Yes… But hey…”

“Yes?”

“Well.. My name is Hyuna Kim..”

“Oh, yes. I am strong. “I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to introduce myself.”

“Yes.. I didn’t mean to say anything.. I was just letting you know..”

She must have been in a bad mood because I just called her this girl and that girl. But she didn’t have time to leisurely introduce herself. Because I had to move quickly. As night falls and winter continues, it is likely that it will become extremely difficult for her to find fruits and vegetables. So, just in case, I had to put as much food in my inventory as possible before it spoiled.

“Here we come.”

Soon, the zombies inside the mall began to walk erratically, probably because they heard us.

I tried to use bioelectricity by hitting the temple twice. But suddenly this thought occurred to me.

‘I said to hit my temples twice, but I don’t think I necessarily meant to hit my temples.’

I struck Hyuna Kim twice on the temple with my right hand.

“Ahh..! Why, why are you like this..! Sigh…! Wow..”

-It’s so bad!!!

“This is it.”

This happens. When Kim Hyun-ah used bioelectricity, she suddenly complained of dizziness and started vomiting in a corner. I held on tightly to the live baseball bat and struck myself twice on the temple with my left hand.

Yes, with this I can now use bioelectricity with both hands.

-Page support!!!!!

The effect of bioelectricity has been doubled. I never thought there was a way to use it like this. The baseball bat began to turn red as the electric current became stronger. Although the power of this has increased, the weapon has become unable to withstand it. I quickly swung the baseball bat at the zombies.

-Pow!!! Baaaaak!!!

The zombie’s head was shattered like a watermelon in just two blows. This is awesome. I struck the body of the guy who was following me and electrocuted him. Then, a smell like grilled squid spread throughout the shopping mall hallway.

“That’s awesome.. Wow..”

I felt dizzy and hit the last remaining guy’s head until it exploded. As expected, just two shots were enough.

“Ha.. Hey. Hyuna.”

“Ugh.. Ugh.. Fuck.. What is this…”

Kim Hyuna wiped the corner of her vomit-covered mouth and looked at me with resentful eyes. I calmly pointed at the electrocuted zombie with an expression asking what was wrong.

“Damn.. What did you do to me..”

“It’s nothing special, these are the skills I have. But thanks to you, I caught the zombies quickly, so please forgive me.”

“Ugh… Damn.. Why are you so confident..”

Hyuna Kim was so proud of my attitude that she couldn’t say anything more and hit the pushing stick at the head of the trembling zombie who fell down.

Once, twice, three times… After hitting it seven times, the zombie’s head finally split. And Kim Hyun-ah’s face was splattered with the rotten blood of a zombie.

“Ugh.. I think I’m going to throw up again…”

“I saw earlier that only gastric juice was coming out. If you vomit too much stomach acid, it is very bad for your oral health.”

“No.. Kang In-ho.. It’s time to worry about that now.. Haha. It’s so ridiculous that I can’t even throw up. Do you have any water?”

“Yes, here.”

To use the steam engine, I always carry two bottles of bottled water in my bag. Thanks to that, Hyuna Kim had water to rinse her mouth.

“Umm.. Hehe.. Haha. It’s a bit better now.. Hey Kang In-ho.. I’ve awakened.”

“Are you serious?”

I immediately used my insight into Kim Hyun-ah’s abilities. Fortunately, it seemed like she didn’t have any good feelings towards me, so her ability to see through it kicked in right away.

[Freeze Bullet (B)]

[Effect: Coagulates an appropriate amount of water or blood and fires it quickly and strongly forward through the index finger.]

[Penalty: Each time a bullet is fired, the temperature of the hand decreases. If you fire more than 10 shots in succession, you may suffer frostbite.]

“Oh…”

“It’s pretty good.”

“Yeah… I guess I should pack a lot of hand warmers.”

With this, long-distance attacks are now possible. It seemed like it would be good to attract the attention of zombies… It was a skill that seemed to go better with the baker’s Hand of the Sun than I thought.

Maybe if I could take away the baker’s skill, Taeyang’s Hand, and give it to Hyuna Kim… Wouldn’t she be able to shoot more ice bullets?
