Chapter 6 – 6. Mart Seoribeom (2)

“Sigh…!”

-Kwajajak!!

“Woo.. Wow..”

“Die…!”

-Kwajik!!

“Sister, nice.”

“Hehe..”

After my sister and I took care of all the zombies that had gathered at the entrance of the mart to eat the Man of Steel’s younger brother, we entered the mart.

To be honest, I felt like I would dislocate my shoulder because I swung the baseball bat so much, but I held back the pain because I had already come this far and there was no going back. Later on, I’ll put a lot of patches on it and take some painkillers so I’ll feel better.

This is a time when we just have to endure this level of pain.

‘When I came in, there were no zombies near the entrance…’

There was nothing there except the body of the already dead supermarket employee. It seems that almost all of the zombies on the first floor escaped due to the aggro of the Steel Man earlier.

Thanks to his sacrifice, we benefited from the fishermen’s fortune. I silently prayed for him and his sister to rest in peace.

“But sister.”

“Huh?”

“Does time pass in the inventory?”

“Uh… I’m not sure about that. Shall we check?”

“Yes. “Let’s put some ice cream in and check later whether it has melted or not.”

“Huh. That’s a good method.”

We took some ice cream out of the small freezer in front of the supermarket checkout counter and put it in our inventory. You can take it out in about thirty minutes and check it.

If the ice cream did not melt, it meant that the food in the inventory was free from the expiration date.

Inside, it stays the same when you put it in without time passing, and since it is a sweet substance that does not rot, you can take it out and eat it at any time. If that happens… Inventory was a rare Gaecheongi ability. There is no particular penalty…

“First, chocolate.”

“Yes.. I took all the chocolates.. Hershey’s chocolates.. 43 pieces.. That’s it. “There are 30 bags of green grape-flavored candy… 27 bags of plum-flavored candy… Next.”

“Here.”

“Yeah.. Let’s see. Chocolate chip cookies.. Twenty-three boxes.. Done. Oreo.. Eight boxes.. Okay..”

We swept up all kinds of snacks into our inventory, starting with chocolate, which is small in volume but high in calories. Almost 20 people gathered up so much snacks that they couldn’t possibly eat them all for a year. The snack corner was completely empty.

“Wow…”

At that time, two zombies came towards us. He must have come after hearing the sound of a bag of snacks rustling. I walked towards the zombies while my sister put the items in her inventory.

“I’ll kill you.. Just keep doing what you’re doing.”

“Yeah…”

The two zombies were not in very good condition. One guy’s head was already half broken, exposing his gray brain, and the guy next to him had his legs bent strangely and was limping towards him.

I quickly walked towards the two approaching zombies and hit their heads.

-Pajajak!!!

The one with his brain exposed was killed instantly by a single blow. I hit the limping guy’s chin with the bat one after another.

-Pyeok!!!

“Wow…!”

The zombie fell backwards and I hit him twice more in the face, killing him completely.

As I keep doing this, my hands get used to it. I feel like I have a rough idea of ​​how hard I need to hit it to knock it down in one hit.

The only problem is that my arm hurts so much…

[Tiring!]

[Congratulations! Your survival level has increased due to frequent zombie hunting!]

[Survival grade 0 → 1]

‘Oh… ‘

At that moment, a notification appeared that my grade had increased. As expected, the survival grade was a level concept. I took out the hand mirror that Saeyeon gave me from my pocket to check the status window.

As I made eye contact with myself in the mirror, I immediately saw my stats.

[Place of Origin: Earth]

[Name: Kang In-ho]

[Survival Grade: 1]

[Physical Ability: 6] [Details]

[Sanity level: 83/100]

[Health level: 69/100]

[Ability: Skill Stealing]

[Situation abnormalities: muscle pain (shoulder), mild dehydration, fatigue]

‘Hmm… There are three status abnormalities… ‘

First of all, my mental strength rose from 52 to 83, but perhaps because I was tired, my vitality had dropped considerably. Additionally, muscle pain, dehydration, and fatigue were added to the condition. After beating and killing zombies almost all day, it seemed like he had three status ailments.

‘I guess I’ll get better when I go home, take a shower, and take some painkillers… Rather than that… ‘

Originally my survival level was 0, but now it has increased to 1. Will there be any benefit if I keep increasing this?

‘Hmm.. What is the detailed information next to physical ability..?’

There was nothing like this in the status window I saw yesterday. It seemed like something new was created as the survival level rose. I checked to see if there were any more zombies approaching and then looked at the emergency information.

[Physical ability: 6]

[Strength: 7]

[Stamina: 6]

[Vitality: 6]

[Sense: 7]

[Durability: 5]

[Resistance: 5]

[Points held: 3]

‘Physical ability 6’ seems to be a number showing the average value of detailed abilities.

‘Strength is power… Physical strength literally means endurance… ‘

‘Vitality’ was related to natural resilience, and ‘sensation’ was related to the five senses. ‘Durability’ refers to durability and the strength of the body. The higher the durability, the less likely you are to get injured. Also, ‘resistance’ refers to resistance to drugs or diseases, and the higher it is, the less likely you are to get sick.

‘For every level you go up, you get 3 points…’

First, I gave 3 points, 2 for stamina and 1 for vitality. Because my arm hurt so much right now.

[Ability scores are reflected.]

For a moment, I felt like my entire body was being scanned, and then I felt easier to breathe. The pain in my shoulder was less than before.

Of course, it may just be a placebo effect…

“Throat.. What are you doing..?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. “My arm hurts so much… “

“Ah… I’m tired… Let’s finish quickly and go home and rest. “When I get back, I’ll massage your shoulders.”

“Really? I need to move harder.”

Saeyeon felt very sorry, perhaps because she left almost all of the fighting to me. However, I couldn’t help it because I felt like if I told her to fight, she would get tired faster than me.

Because his strength is much lower than mine and his stamina she seems to be much weaker than mine. And right now, Sister Saeyeon doesn’t have to fight. You’ve already done your job by awakening the damn S-class inventory.

“I.. I’m sorry.. That..”

“Yes.”

I put down her ramen that was out of her reach. My sister immediately wrote down the ramen in her notebook and put it in her inventory.

Next, I cleaned out all the canned goods and those with a long shelf life. I didn’t even think about the people who would come to the supermarket later. My sister and I decided to move with just the two of us in mind.

‘It’s a real treat..’

The local supermarket did not have a separate basement, and the first floor was a grocery corner, so I was able to quickly walk around and pick up alcohol and other supplies. It was truly a huge amount. It was enough to fill several pages of the notebook.

Without inventory, crazy things like this wouldn’t have been possible. Perhaps, like the man named Kim Seok-hyun who abandoned the woman who fell and ran away earlier, he should have been satisfied with just one full bag and then left the supermarket.

“Then shall we stock up on daily necessities now?”

“Yes. Oh, before that, let’s check whether the ice cream has melted or not, shall we? I think it’s been about four hours..”

“That’s right, just wait a moment~”

Seyeon took out the three ice creams she had put in four hours ago from her inventory.

“The throat is amazing.. It hasn’t melted yet. It’s hard.”

“Wow… Awesome… Awesome… Crazy, really. Wow.. I couldn’t believe it..”

This proves that time does not fade inside the inventory.

Even though winter is approaching and the days are getting cooler, the ice cream does not melt at room temperature. Even though it was left in the inventory for over four hours, the ice cream did not melt at all. It was exactly the same as before.

If you put all the food before it goes bad in your inventory, you can keep eating it without it going bad. Therefore, we needed to put as much food in our inventory as possible before it spoiled.

For example, if you put food in your inventory that is difficult to make unless you are an expert, spoils quickly, and requires a lot of work, such as cakes or already-made dishes, it is great because you can take it out and eat it later at any time.

Now that things have come to this, should I go and rob the buffet?

“The performance is truly crazy..”

“Yeah.. That’s awesome.. Let’s put all the meat and fish in it too. Those who are still alive…”

“I’ll just kill you.”

“Huh..! Thank you.”

Now I have a new goal.

We really need to protect Saeyeon so she doesn’t die. If she dies, all the food we’ve had for nearly four hours will be gone.

“First of all, take sanitary pads with you… “

Saeyeon started stocking up in the women’s goods section. I watched over her and drank one of her ionic drinks to relieve her dehydration symptoms.

“Please eat too, sister.”

“Yes.. Thank you.”

Even though I drank it after joining the military, she didn’t care and just drank it. He didn’t seem to care about indirect kissing at all. I’m glad that there isn’t much rejection towards me.

Afterwards, we packed all kinds of items, including toilet paper, butane gas, raw meat, fish, and dairy products.

It was safe to say that they almost robbed an entire supermarket. Honestly, with this level of performance, wouldn’t the inventory be better than abilities like the store window?

Inventory is God.. Saeyeon is invincible.

“Now.. Shall we slowly escape..?”

“Huh. Then… The second floor looks dangerous. Don’t go..”

So, my sister and I were trying to get out of the mart after carefully storing most of the items on the first floor of the mart.

“Hey.. Fuck.. There’s nothing..?”

“Oh my… Shit… Did you already steal everything? Fuck. That’s fucking stupid. Look at the quick and tenacious spirit of Koreans. How can you rob an entire supermarket in one day? What should I do? If you go empty-handed, you’ll be screwed… “

Two high school students in school uniforms were walking around near the entrance of the supermarket, riding bicycles.

Looking at the school uniforms they were wearing, they seemed to be students from nearby Dongyeong High School. This is the school that the bully in room 708 went to.

For reference, Dongyeong High School was an all-boys high school and a famous high school in the neighborhood. You could say it’s a den of gangsters. It’s a crazy school that turns an ordinary student into a smoker-like bastard in just one month.

“Uh..”

“Shh…”

I quickly hid Saeyeon behind me and put my index finger to my mouth. If there was a fight, the situation could have gotten worse.

‘Please just go…’

However, contrary to my expectations, they did not leave. It seems that one of the two had detection-type abilities.

“Sniff.. Hmm..”

“Why. “Is there a woman inside?”

“Uh. It smells like a woman. Collock. I think it’s just one person. It must be easy.”

“Fuck. Then I guess I should at least take that bitch. “If you return empty-handed, you will be beaten to death.”

“Hey, Collock..! Hmm… Still… Can we have a taste of it ourselves before taking it to the captain?”

“First of all, me.”

“Don’t be a dick. Why is it a fuck to eat from you all the time. “

“Just shut the fuck up. “They always pick on me first.”

“Fuck.. You bastard.. You really are such a fucking bastard…”

When I listened to their conversation, it was as normal as the Dongyeong High School guys.

I adjusted the aluminum bat, which was slightly bent from killing too many zombies.

Those guys won’t be able to touch Saeyeon’s body even a single hair. I’ll kill you before that and take your skills.
