Chapter 32 – 32. Guys That Need to Be Killed (2)
In any case, like yesterday, there may be a guy with a gun or a guy with detection skills, so we needed to be careful.
‘At the moment, I can’t figure out their abilities… ‘
However, I don’t think it would be a good idea to show up to them in this street just to use their ability insight. Don’t give those idiots a chance to prepare for battle. So the priority is to narrow the distance as much as possible.
‘As long as they don’t recognize me, I also have the handicap of not being able to see through their abilities… It’s more uncomfortable than I could imagine… ‘
Even if I found them first from a distance, I was a bit frustrated because I couldn’t use my ability to see if I didn’t confirm my presence.
‘But now the penalty for skill theft has been greatly weakened, so it doesn’t matter if you kill them indiscriminately… ‘
If my hair continued to fall out in handfuls, I think frustrating situations would occur frequently. You wouldn’t have been able to kill the awakened person carelessly because you had to keep checking whether or not the ability could be taken away.
However, now that the ability theft has been strengthened, you can just kill it without worrying about it. Even if I happen to gain an ambiguous skill like sense of reason, I can pass it on to Yeongsik.
‘First of all, I need to replenish ammo in advance.’
I used bulletweave to fill the revolver chamber. There were scars all over the body. Fortunately, I had wounds on my arms, back, and sides, so it was bearable. If I go home later and apply some ointment for the wound, it will heal in a day.
‘A total of 6 bullets.’
The sound of gunfire will attract zombies, but assuming the opponent has a gun, it would be better to have similar firepower. No matter what his abilities, this is a fight where the guy with the gun will definitely win.
‘It’s loud, so it’s better not to use it as much as possible, but even if you do use it, you can easily escape if you get distracted by the car warning sound.’
Zombies are particularly sensitive to light and sound, so using a car as bait can make it easier to aggro them than you think. So don’t hesitate and shoot. Rather than just wandering around and getting shot, it is more reasonable to shoot him and find an escape route.
“It’s pretty close..”
“So..”
As Hyuna said, the distance from those guys has become quite close. Fortunately, they didn’t seem to have any detection skills, so they didn’t notice us and were putting alcohol and spirits into their bags at the convenience store.
“First of all, Hyuna, hide with Seunghee and Saeyeon, and when the guy with the gun comes out, immediately use your skills and crush his face. Just like I killed that bastard yesterday.”
“Yes.. I will do my best..”
For now, Sae-yeon and Seung-hee, who are not very good at fighting, decided to wait in the rear. Not only do they both have no combat skills, but their stamina and strength are also low.
Therefore, Ayun, I, and Junho are in charge of the battle. And the rough plan was for HyunA to hide in the middle and watch the situation, and then provide support fire when someone with a gun appears.
“Oppa, give me that.”
“Huh?”
“Nerve accelerator.”
“Ah. Just a moment..”
I gave Ayun a nerve accelerator. If you eat this, your reflexes and visual acuity will increase dramatically for 5 minutes. If you take more than 2 pills a day, you will die, so you need to be careful.
‘Okay.. What should I do now..’
It would be a good idea to fire a pistol indiscriminately and kill them all, but yesterday was the first time I handled a pistol. Even the military had never given me a pistol. Because it is an unfamiliar firearm, the accuracy rate is quite low. I don’t even know how to grip it.
‘If they don’t notice us, it would be best to chew a pill of nerve accelerator and then kill them with bioelectricity and crushing blows..’
If a fight broke out, an unfortunate incident could have occurred where Ayun or Junho killed the awakened person I was supposed to kill. I think it would be quite bitter if I lost the ability to eat it.
‘First, I reveal myself… I will draw their attention, identify the awakened ones, and then… Kill the awakened people first..’
I told Ayun and Junho in advance to be ready to run out as soon as I give the signal. Uncle Junho nodded his head with a nervous look, and Ah Yuni smiled and held his machete tightly.
Now let’s get the attention of those scoundrels.
“Hey you bastards. Don’t move! “I’ll kill the first thing that moves.”
I appeared in front of them holding a pistol. There was a car in the middle, so if those guys tried to shoot, I could immediately lower my back and use the car as cover.
“What the fuck is that bastard… “
The gangsters are swearing as if they are embarrassed. I quickly used skill insight towards them.

Out of 10 people, only two had the skill.
‘Bat cotton… I like that.’
It’s a skill that would be good for sneaking in and harassing people. But that… The guy I’m using right now… Isn’t he from Dongyeong High School?
‘Maybe he went undercover to save his captured family, but it’s not something I care about.’
A grade A transformation ability with no penalty and no handicap.
I have no choice but to kill this now.
“Fuck… That gun… Isn’t that the one you took after killing our kids? I know for sure that there are no bullets, so where are you modifying them? “There are no bullets!”
“…”
“Uh… Lie.. Why.. Like this..!!”
As I was taking a moment to understand their skills through ability detection, a high school student with trace observation shouted at me.
Then, as if he noticed something, he quickly hid behind the car and tried to put his hand inside the coat he was wearing.
‘Uh? That bastard can’t believe it..’
As he was trying to take something out from inside his coat, it felt like he was going to pull out a pistol and shoot. If left like this, a gunfight might break out using the car as cover. In that case, the worst situation could have happened where we had to deal with all the zombies that would come crawling here at once.
‘It’s dangerous.’
I have to kill that guy first before he hides behind the car and shoots me.
I pulled the trigger on that guy several times.
-Taang!!! Taang!! Taang!!!
“Huh… Billion…”
Three bullets entered the back of the fleeing gangster. It didn’t penetrate, but seemed to have become lodged inside him and damaged his lungs. This is because the guy on the floor was gasping for breath and spitting out his blood.
“Kuheook… This, this…”
Bright red blood flowed from the body of the fallen gangster.
That bastard looked at me with a stupid face right before he shot me.
Before he ran into me, that bastard probably used his ‘trail observation’ skill to conclude that there wouldn’t be a single bullet left in his pistol. Right. When I first picked up the gun, there wasn’t a single bullet.
However, if there was one thing he didn’t expect, it was the fact that I had a fraudulent skill called Skill Stealing.
Contrary to his expectation that I would have picked up an empty gun, I did not simply pick up an empty gun. I also tried bullet weaving.
Thanks to this, the chamber was full of bullets, and the gangster, who had been caught off guard, belatedly realized that the chamber of the revolver was full and tried to hide behind the car. Of course, he is already dead.

-Too-duk..
30 strands of hair fell out. It is an incomparably small amount compared to a handful. I am satisfied. At this rate, wouldn’t it be possible to acquire hundreds of skills?
Although the bangs are already empty…
“I ate one of these. All you have to do is kill the gourd head at the end… What is this… It’s a good passive skill, but it’s good. It’s a bit strange trying to talk to myself… It feels like my thoughts are coming out of my mouth without any filtering…”
I was already talking to myself a lot due to the penalty for the trace observation skill.
“This isn’t going to work. It might be better to give it to Ayun, who talks to herself a lot.”
“Uh.. Uh.. Senior Ilgu..”
“Si.. Sibaal…” ” “
As I continued to mutter to myself, lost in my own thoughts, the other bullies who had been staring blankly at the dead bully finally came out of their panic and started going crazy.
“Run away!!”
“Fuck!! Excellent senior!!”
“Damn it..!!”
These gangsters are trying to run away because they think they have no chance of winning. I’ve already fired three shots, so zombies will soon flock in. So, we need to stop those guys quickly and get out of here.
“Ayun. Screw everyone except the bastard at the end.”
“Yes! Hehe!!”
As if there was no need to take nerve accelerators, Ayuni ran with all her might with a machete, breaking the limbs of the fleeing guys and knocking them down.
If you kill a human that is not the designated game under a hunting order, the penalty is increased madness, so you usually knock them down by cutting off their legs or hitting them hard on the back of the head rather than killing them directly.〈 Br〉
“Uh…”
Uncle Junho was embarrassed as he opened his mouth slightly, perhaps because it was his first time seeing Yunyi fight with determination. It’s surprising that that slender girl can fly.
I threw the pork cutlet hammer at the guy with the bast face and spoke to the rest of the group.
“There might be someone with a gun, so search these bodies and take your bags. Uncle Junho even kills the people Ayun killed.”
“Uh, uh.. I understand..!”
“Yes..!”
Uncle Junho quickly came to his senses and started stabbing the necks of the guys Ayun had defeated. When he saw blood on his hands, his expression, he didn’t get any better, but it was something that could not be helped.
Ayun, who is still a little out of her mind, cannot be allowed to kill any more people. If things get a little crazier here, I might not be able to handle it either. Even though I laugh often, I am able to maintain my sanity and this is the perfect time.
“Dad, give me the knife.”
“Uh? Seunghee…”
At that time, Seunghee took a knife from Junho and started stabbing her gangsters who were writhing in pain.
As expected, that guy’s mental power is very high. There is little aversion to murder. Maybe he’s not a psychopath?
“Isn’t that something to worry about as a real murderer… “
Meanwhile, Saeyeon picked up the bags they were carrying and put them in the inventory, and Hyuna fired ice bullets at the backs of the fleeing gangsters, keeping a lookout for any ghouls nearby.
I approached the owner of the bast face mask, who was lying down and struggling in the middle of the road.
“Ugh.. Please.. Please.. I-I’m different from those bastards..! Please…!”
“Sorry. “I’m going to kill everyone wearing Dongyeong High School uniform.”
“Oh, no! Not that Dongyeong High School..!!”
I smashed his head before he could say any more. I’m sorry, but I hope you die before others find out the truth.
“I will use the bast cotton well. “I’m sorry, friend.”

I got the skill. The aftertaste is a bit bitter, but it can’t be helped. If I hesitate, my companions will lose their lives.
I decided not to hesitate any longer. You can’t just stand still like an idiot when your skills have been strengthened so that you can outright kill people.
You have to get used to killing. And I’ve already killed enough people to get used to it. The blood on my hands can no longer be cleaned off. Now there is no time to feel sad that someone has been killed.
“Whew… It’s bloody and uncomfortable. Lady.. Even if I just think about it, I end up talking to myself. This skill.. Is a bit annoying..”
I quickly checked the arms of the boy who had been shot dead. He was clearly trying to get something out. I wish I had another gun. Then you get two pistols for free.
“Ah.. Fuck..”
However, in his hand, contrary to my expectations, there was a dagger that looked similar. The guy didn’t have a gun.
“I didn’t mean to pull out a gun..”
Of course, you always have to assume the worst. What he was trying to pull out could really have been a gun. And if it was a gun, it would be right to kill him before he takes it out.
[A shabby dagger: A dagger coated with paralyzing poison. As durability decreases, toxicity becomes stronger.] [Durability: 10/15]
Still, I got the item. Perhaps an unknown gate had appeared at Dongyeong High School, different from the twisted basement I entered. I think this dagger was obtained there. So, wouldn’t Dongyeong High School have quite a lot of items? It’s quite mouth-watering..
Hehe! Brother! It’s over. But… I killed one person by mistake.”
“What..? Uh..”
“I’m just kidding~ It’s okay because I’m hunting.”
“Aha.. Be surprised. Hey! Don’t make fun of your brother!”
Hehe. The reaction is funny and cute. Bald man.”
“What a bald man…”
Ayun smiles brightly while looking at my hair. Fortunately, I killed my prey.
Ah, before Yuni completely loses her mind, she needs to get something to get her back to normal…
“Let’s get out of here quickly.”
“Yes!”
Zombies gradually began to flock to the sound of the gun.
Uncle Junho hit the car parked on the side of the road with a hammer, causing an alarm to sound, and in the meantime, we went into the alley and quickly escaped the scene.
It was a successful hunt.
