Chapter 21 – 21. Encounter at the Butcher Shop

“First, let’s check what kind of ability it is.”

“Yes?”

“You have to know how much power it has before you can use it.”

“Aha, wait a minute.”

Hyunah Kim made the shape of her gun with her hand and aimed it with her index finger at the dead zombie.

“Inhale..”

-Pow!

The ice bullet fired from Kim Hyuna’s fingertip hit the dead zombie’s body hard.

“Aww.. My hands are cold..”

Kim Hyuna rubs her fingers after shooting her shot her.

This is less powerful than I thought. Of course, it’s not enough to pierce a steel plate… Wouldn’t that level of power be similar to a baseball thrown with all your might?

If you hit a zombie in the head, you may not be able to kill him, but you may be able to knock him out.

‘Why is this so…’

It’s definitely an ability I like because it allows long-distance attacks. However, I was a bit worried about whether he had the ability to risk my hair and take it away.

I felt an internal conflict for a moment.

‘If you want to kill, now is the perfect time.. Because you don’t have eyes to see right now..’

Saeyeon is robbing a fruit store by herself, and the rest of the group is gathered at the butcher shop. Moreover, Hyuna Kim has no friends or family here. Therefore, even if she dies, there will be no one to mourn.

Additionally, if you kill the baker with the Hand of the Sun, the penalty for this skill can be halved by a lot. You will be able to fire more than 10 shots.

‘If you lie and say that you couldn’t help it because you were bitten by a zombie when you were trying to wake him up, everyone will believe you.’

Saeyeon probably knows that I killed her for her abilities, but …

‘My sister has already decided to understand my situation…’

Saeyeon has already decided to be with me until the end. She also accepted the fact that I had to kill people. So she will just move on without saying anything.

‘Maybe it would be better to kill him and take it while he has the chance..’

In my opinion, long-distance attack methods are quite valuable. It might be better to kill and take this when the opportunity arises. However, its power is much weaker than expected. If the freezing bullet had been powerful enough to pierce the zombie’s body, I would have smashed the back of Kim Hyun-ah’s head right away.

‘The problem is, of course, my hair…’

Maybe it’s because I’m wearing a hat so it doesn’t show off, but right now my bangs are empty. If my hair fell out at the same rate as it is now, it was clear that I would go bald before even losing my 10 skills. But it’s a bit unnecessary to sacrifice your hair for a skill with such vague performance…

Moreover, in order to use it properly, you would have to kill the baker as well, but that doesn’t seem right.

‘And just taking away abilities is not the answer… Night will soon begin and winter will come… You must quickly save your teammates… It will become a world where survival is impossible alone… ‘

If you can get a gun, you can kill zombies and vampires more easily than with freezing bullets. It’s easier and faster to get a gun than to not be able to use your abilities for a while after you’ve fired 10 shots.

Yes, Freeze Bullet is an ability with a clear alternative. In the end, after much deliberation, I decided to keep Hyuna Kim alive for now. For now.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, sister. Ah, this person has awakened.”

“Wow, congratulations.”

“Haha.. Thank you.”

We helped Saeyeon gather up all of her fruits. There was a refrigerated warehouse for fruit storage at the back of the store, so I cleaned out everything there. The warehouse key was on the store counter.

“Then go to the butcher shop..”

“Yes..!”

The three of us looked around and quickly went to the butcher shop. The butcher shop had already been cleaned out.

“Here, we gathered all the meat from the second floor and the warehouse in one place.”

“Ah, thank you for your hard work.”

Uncle Junho had already gathered all the meat in one place without noticing it. Thanks to this, we were able to quickly add fresh raw meat and frozen meat to our inventory.

“If I save as much as I can, it will last me five years.”

“I know, right. Now, let’s go to the hardware store… “

It was when I was about to go.

-Taang!!!

A gunshot was suddenly heard. We inside the store stopped moving and looked at the store entrance.

“Everyone, don’t move. I just fired a blank bullet. From now on, live ammunition will be released. “If it moves, search.”

Someone came into the butcher shop. It was… A male student wearing the uniform of Dongyeong High School. A boy with messy hair, whose bangs covered his eyes, was holding his pistol.

‘That bastard.. Has he lost his mind..? If the zombies come, why should I shoot them.. Fuck..’

I’m not sure if it was taken after killing a police officer or if it was captured from a dead police officer, but in any case, if it was a revolver used by a police officer, it would have two non-lethal bullets in it. Since a blank bullet was just fired, I guess there will be two non-lethal bullets and two live bullets. This situation is quite serious.

At that time, four more male students entered the store. Each person was carrying a tool.

‘Oh no.. Are they all awakened..’

I prayed that those bastards were non-awakened and immediately used Ability Perception on them.

[Incompetent person]

[Incompetent person]

[Incompetent person]

[Bullet weave (A)]

[Effect: Instantly creates bullets needed for a ranged weapon that fires a projectile.]

[Penalty: A wound will be engraved somewhere on your skin equal to the number of bullets produced.]

[Incompetent person]

Fortunately, out of the five, only one bastard with a gun was capable. The other four are just kids holding tools.

‘Of course, the problem is that kid with a gun… ‘

That guy had an ability called bullet weaving. If that bastard didn’t think it was a big deal that he was getting hurt and shot back, there should have been no limit to the number of bullets. After firing all the non-lethal bullets, bullets that meet the specifications of that revolver will be created, so it becomes really dangerous from then on.

“All men, kneel!! Women come this way. Implement!!”

“Ugh…”

“Oh my..”

The baker immediately fell to his knees for his life. From his point of view his his, whether it’s Kim Hyun-ah, Han Seung-hee, or Saeyeon, they are women that don’t matter.

But Junho and I couldn’t do that. Those bastards from Dongyeong High School are definitely planning to kill all the men and drag away only the women to rape them.

“Hey! Fuck you bastards!! “Don’t kneel!!!”

The guy with the gun shouted at us. But if you look closely, you can see that the kid is shaking slightly. He’s small in stature… He seems to be the leader thanks to his abilities, but he’s a very unsightly guy.

‘All you have to do is drop the gun he’s holding..’

At that time, Hyuna Kim and I made eye contact. Her eyes seemed to be asking, ‘Shall I commit?’She is a woman who is stronger than I thought. I gave her a small node.

In an instant, a chunk of ice was launched from her fingertips. In the middle of the day, she was so distracted looking at Junho and me that ice landed on her face.

-Pyeok!!!

“Quaaa!!!”

-Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!!

The brat, who had been hit in the face by a block of ice and had her nose down, let out a scream and fired her gun wildly in front of her. A clicking sound. She ran out of ammo. Before she can wear a bullet weave she has to tighten it.

“Kim Hyun-ah!! Screw that bastard!!”

“Oh!!”

It became a mess in an instant.

Han Seung-hee, who had no fighting skills, quickly took Saeyeon’s older sister and ran up to the second floor of the butcher shop, and Kim Hyun-ah fired two more freezing bullets into the face of the brat holding her gun. In the end, the guy with the gun completely fainted.

“Fuck!!”

“Kill it!!!”

The kids, who had been distracted by the sound of gunshots, run in. Uncle Junho burned and cut off the arm of one of the guys who was trying to go up to the second floor, and the baker quickly grabbed the guy’s legs and bit them.

And then I hit my temple.

-It’s so bad!!!

“You bastards.”

She swung a baseball bat at the back of the head of the kid who was swinging her fist at the baker who was holding his leg of her.

-Whoa!!!!

The guy’s head flew off without a trace. When he used bioelectricity and crushing blows at the same time, his head exploded without a trace.

The impact of a person’s head being smashed like a watermelon exploding with a huge sound was so impactful that everyone stopped moving and looked at me.

-Cheoppapdeok.

The body of the brat, who had lost his head, fell to the floor. The baker, whose face and body were covered in blood, stumbled and screamed.

“Kyaaa!!!!”

“Shut up!”

“Bout..! Ugh.. Hmm… “

It felt like it was completely close to me. I walked past the baker and towards the people who had stopped moving. Junho’s uncle had already cut off a guy’s arm with his fingertips and turned him into an asshole, and Kim Hyunah had completely subdued the guy with the gun. Now there are only two gangsters left.

“Shit…Fuck…”

“Ugh, wow!!”

Those who thought they had no chance of winning tried to run away. Never miss it. Those guys shouldn’t have been allowed to return alive.

I threw the pork cutlet hammer I had on my belt with all my might into the back of the fleeing brat.

-Kkakdeuk!!!

With the sound of flesh being crushed, the guy who was trying to get out of the butcher shop fell down.

“Mr. Screw that bastard.”

“Uh.. Uh.. Okay..”

Junho will take care of that guy. I approached the last remaining one. The guy sat down and looked up at me without being able to run away.

Who would have thought that in this hellish world, someone with abilities but no awakening would fearlessly attack survivors.

Am I not thinking enough? Now, in these dangerous times, wouldn’t it be best to avoid the people who are farming items on the streets?

“Live, live..”

“I won’t save you.”

-Whoops!!!

I hit the bully on the head.

He is not on our side and has no skills. Moreover, he has already revealed this to us. Even if I kill you in front of everyone, no one will say anything to me. Because there is a cause.

“Uuuuu…”

Hyunah Kim vomited at the guy with the gun who was lying down. The guy passed out after being hit in the face with ice bullets several times and ended up covered in vomit.

He’s going to die soon, but he looks dirty before he dies.

“Hey, Inho…”

“Ah.”

Junho, who killed the gangster at the entrance, approached me. The man’s face is covered in blood. It appears that the head of the man lying at the entrance was burned and cut off with a clean ignition.

“Ha.. We.. Should be doing this right..?”

“Yes?”

“Oh, no.. That..”

“Uncle Junho. Take heart. If we don’t kill them now, these bastards will definitely strangle us later. They are bastards with bad natures. “If you lived in this neighborhood, you would know how much of a bunch of bastards Dongyeong High School are.”

“Yeah, right.. They are bastards..”

“That’s right, they are bastards. And if Hyuna hadn’t attacked the guy with the gun in time. Seunghee would have been in danger.”

“Ah.. Yes, that’s right. Seunghee.. We have to protect Seunghee.”

It seems that Junho’s uncle had a strong aversion to murder. He deserved it because he burned two people to death. After patting the man on the shoulder with my bloody hand, I walked towards Kim Hyun-ah.

“Good job.”

“Ah, yes.. Wow..”

“Here, rinse your mouth with water…” ” No, I heard that it’s bad for your oral health if you keep putting up gastric juice.”

“Pfft.. What is that in the current situation.. Haha.. Ha.. Fuck.. I think I’m going to throw up again.. Ugh..”

Hyuna Kim slumped against the wall with a gaunt expression. He did that when he killed the zombie earlier, so he seems to have a weak stomach.

“How ever. She’s going to kill him..?”

“Yes.”

“Ah… Well, that…”

“If you leave it alive, you will regret it later.”

“Yeah, right.. That’s right. That’s right.”

Kim Hyun-ah did not argue anymore. I hit the unconscious guy’s head until it split.

[Ability robbery is activated.]

[New abilities are added.]

[Penalties apply.]

With this, she got a bullet weave along with her pistol. This bastard had shot all the bullets in the chamber, so there wasn’t a single bullet left in the chamber. For reference, the pistol was a fairly small revolver as a police pistol.

Once the situation was roughly resolved, Junho and Kim Hyunah immediately prepared to leave. The baker who was sitting down was still in a panic, and soon Seunghee and Saeyeon, who thought the commotion was over, came down from the second floor.

“Are you hurt?”

“Yes I’m fine. “What about Inho?”

“Me too. Then, let’s all get out of here quickly. “Zombies will come when they hear the gunshots.”

We quickly left the butcher shop. Meanwhile, Kim Hyun-ah captured iron pipes from the dead men. The baker came to his senses only after we left, quickly picked up the monkey wrench that was lying on the floor, and followed us.

Zombies are walking all over the streets. Their target was the butcher shop where there was a big commotion. I kicked the car parked in front of the butcher shop to make a warning sound, and then ran toward the hardware store.

Now, those zombies will focus on the car with the warning sound for a while.
