Chapter 59 – 59. New Gate

The road back home was very quiet. There was no need to draw the zombies’ attention by making noise, so we moved forward with minimal communication.

‘It certainly seems like he killed a lot of people… Even if I kill him, even if I kill him, he comes back again…’

They must have killed them yesterday and the day before… Even though there were soldiers walking around shooting zombies, there were still a lot of zombies.

Since Seoul was densely populated, no amount of killing was enough. The zombies kept crawling out, and eventually they would take over all the streets where people had disappeared.

“Be careful… There’s a bunch of zombies ahead…”

“Okay..”

As I was walking in the lead, I sensed the presence of zombies gathered in the alley. We quickly used the car as cover and quickly passed between cars.

‘Why are they eating so deliciously?’

Zombies were eating the bodies of dead people. Perhaps the person lying there being eaten is a survivor who came out without realizing it.

Wandering these streets without any skills is suicidal. Since the villa village and the apartment complex are adjacent, zombies quickly gather.

‘It seems like he crawls inside the building during the day…’

These days, it seems like the number of people in a state of suspended animation inside buildings has increased rather than the number of zombies walking around the streets during the day.

As winter approaches, I’m not sure if they are trying to prepare for winter in their own way, but being inside the building is often more annoying than being outside. You may be surprised by those hiding while farming.

‘It’s as if he’s intentionally trying to avoid sunlight…’

Maybe zombies, like vampires, are adversely affected by sunlight. Wouldn’t that lead to evolution into a unique species? It’s hard with just the ghouls…

As I was continuing these random thoughts, the compass I was holding in my left hand pointed in one direction. It was a commercial building.

As I got closer, I could even hear the gate’s distinctive humming sound.

“Ah..”

“Why brother? What’s going on?”

“That..”

I told the group that was following me about the compass for tracking the gate. This indicates the direction of the gate nearby. Therefore, there must be a gate in that commercial building.

“Now… You’re going to the gate in that condition… ? Brother, are you crazy..? I’d rather go.”

“Okay, Inho.. Don’t push yourself too hard.. And you’ll get really hurt..”

“Brother, let’s just go home.. I don’t think we should go for some reason..”

Ayun, Saeyeon, and even Hyuna are worried. Uncle Junho also shook his head and told him not to go, and Seunghee also made an X with her finger.

“Hey, brother… I’ll go this time.”

“Huh? Yeongsik, are you…?”

“Yes. I’ll just check and come down right away. “Everyone is going first.”

At that time, Yeongsik came forward and said he would go up. What floor may it be on? However, the closer you get, the louder the sound becomes, so you will be able to find it quickly.

To be honest, I just want to ask Yeongsik for a favor. But it’s too dangerous. There must be a gate somewhere in the 8-story commercial building… No one knows what the situation is inside.

“Wait a minute…”

I closed my eyes and used my presence detection again. Soon, the signs of things moving around were caught one by one.

“The first floor is quiet… There are a few on the second floor… It might be worth a try more than you think…”

“Then..”

“Can I go with you too?”

“Yes?”

At that time, Park Seon-hwa, the leader of the auditorium survivors who was following us from the rear, expressed his opinion. Since both of them have skills that mainly involve using their fists, it seemed like it would be possible if the two of them explored together.

“Then.. Let’s do that.”

I nodded. I thought that if I sent Yeongsik and Park Seonhwa up together, I would be able to check the gate and return alive.

“I will come back.”

“Okay..”

Soon the two went upstairs.

We’ll both check and come back right away, so we’ll just go slowly and we’ll come.

‘Okay, I can’t walk around alone forever..’

From the beginning, I had planned to split teams and go farming by distributing certain skills, so it would be a good experience to send Yeongsik and Park Seonhwa together.

I hope the two return safely. For now we kept going.

On the way to the apartment, I plan to sacrifice all of the 40 thugs I killed yesterday to get a reward box.

******

10 minutes have passed since we entered the commercial building. Even though it was already the 4th floor, the sound was coming from up there. Park Young-sik thought that he needed to go a little higher.

“Whoa…”

Park Young-sik blew on her and rubbed her hands. Park Seon-hwa was following closely behind Park Young-sik. She alternately checked the top and bottom of her body, being on guard for fear that a zombie might jump out.

“Over there..”

“Yes..?”

“What kind of person is Kang In-ho?”

Nervously looking at her stairs, Park Sun-hwa asked Park Young-sik, who was walking ahead of her.

She had been curious about the person Kang In-ho since a while ago. As soon as we suddenly encountered her, she vomited, but it was a bit strange that she stood up and continued the story just fine, and it was also quite surprising to see her share her skills with other people.

She handed out skills as if they were a storehouse of skills, and every time she did that, a few strands of hair fell out from the rest of the group.

What’s even more surprising is that hair has grown back on his head her her her, although it’s so subtle it’s hard to notice. Seeing that, Park Seon-hwa wondered if he was nurturing and sharing her abilities as if they were his own crops.

She had not yet gained Kang In-ho’s complete trust, and she had not heard about him stealing her skills. As a result, strange misunderstandings grew.

“Hmm.. Inho hyung…”

Park Young-sik thought about Park Seon-hwa’s question for a while and then gave her answer.

“He is a strong person. Most people try to solve it on their own. There are times when it seems a bit dangerous… In fact, since I am completely receiving help from In-ho, I can’t make him quit. “It was the same yesterday and today.”

“Yesterday and today?”

“Yes. I don’t know if you’ve heard this before, but I’ve been moving like that for two days now without sleeping. After fighting the monster in the labyrinth, he came back and killed almost 40 of the bastards from Dongyeong High School by himself… In the evening, he robbed them all by himself.”

“Yes..?”

“We didn’t kill all those Dongyeong High School students together. In-ho said he was anxious and went out in the middle of the night, and he killed all 70 people by himself. You didn’t know, right? “We were so anxious that he didn’t come, so we went to pick him up.”

“Is that possible? How can I do it alone..”

“What did Inho say? I was even sleeping on the rooftop. It’s awesome. He’s crazy. “I’m glad he’s on our side, otherwise he’s the number one person I wouldn’t want to meet.”

“Huh…”

Seonhwa Park forgot the boundaries around her and opened her mouth wide. She could almost be considered a human weapon, capable of annihilating seventy people by herself.

Even though those seventy people were minors who had not yet reached adulthood, they could not be seen as weak. Because they were teenagers who were close to adults. On top of that, they are gangsters who fight like they are eating.

Of course, it was a half-surprise capture by timing the situation and timing well, but looking at the result alone, Kang In-ho achieved an incredible achievement. Because he killed over a hundred people in one day.

“I hope you are doing well since you are with us. Because of Inho’s personality his, he’s not the type of person that just anyone will accept. “He probably thought it was necessary for his sister and others to survive.”

“Is that so..”

“Yes. That’s what I did last time. It will become more difficult in the future, but I don’t want to expand my mouth by accepting a useless person.”

“Aha..”

Park Seon-hwa realized that Kang In-ho was a more upright and cold-hearted person than she thought. As she thought, Kang In-ho was the type of person who loathed or hated people who could not afford to eat.

He hated people who just knew how to accept things without making any effort.

“Anyway.. I think we’re almost there..”

“Yes…”

While chatting, they soon arrived at the 7th floor. A strong sound came from here. Park Young-sik opened the door to the stairs and carefully checked to see if there were any zombies.

“There is no one in sight..”

“Yes..”

The two people lowered themselves and entered the 7th floor.

On the 7th floor, there was an old dermatology clinic, a dental clinic that looked like it had just opened, and an unidentified office.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

“Sniff.. Shut up…”

There were also several hungry zombies.

I don’t know how it got here, but looking at the new arrangement, I thought that some of the customers who came to the dentist were infected and it may have spread.

Of course, there were less than ten of them, so the two people grabbed their respective weapons and approached the zombies.

“Sigh!!”

Park Young-sik immediately activated her iron fist and increased her strength. In addition, Park Seon-hwa, who was following behind him, also used an iron bar to break the heads of the zombies.

The two people worked together to defeat the only ten or so zombies, and they all died quickly. Because I didn’t panic, I was able to catch it easier than I thought. Moreover, thanks to both of them having aggressive skills, there was not even a crisis situation.

“Haa.. Haa..”

“Wow.. That arm.. Looks like it’s okay to be bitten..”

“Yes.. Even if I get bitten, it doesn’t leave a single scar.”

Park Seon-hwa’s iron arm didn’t even have a scratch no matter how much the zombies bit it. Instead, she was in a bit of trouble because after using her powers, her tremor developed for the same amount of time she used them.

“Whoa.. The gate is over there.”

“Is that gay..?”

“Yes… But the color… Huh…? Seonhwa, we have to go down quickly..”

“Yes? “What is that?”

“That is…”

All the gates that Park Young-sik had seen so far were blue.

Blue is a simple labyrinth.

However, the gate that was created before their eyes were not blue.
