Chapter 63 – 63. A Valuable Rest

When I got home, my tension went away and my body suddenly became heavier. When I was walking around the streets, I was constantly nervous that I might encounter zombies or hostile humans, but thinking that this was my hideout made me feel at ease.

“Oppa, what’s the temperature of the water?”

“Umm.. Warm.. Good.”

After receiving a warm welcome from Saeyeon and Hyuna, who were waiting for me, she immediately took off her clothes and sat down in a large red rubber basin. Then Hyuna poured water on my back and body.

For your information, Ah Yun picked up the clothes she covered in blood and sweat and threw them out of her window. It’s so dirty that it’s a waste to wash it. Because the water supply was cut off, it was beneficial to just throw away clothes that were too dirty.

Right now, the water I am showering with is boiled and used in advance. But the method of boiling water was amazing.

“It’s really awesome.”

“Right? Uncle Junho also said that you can boil it in a similar way.”

Hyuna boiled the water, and there was no need for anything else to boil the water. You could boil it right away with just water and a pot, no gas or anything else.

First, prepare a large pot filled with water. Then, lightly place your finger on the surface of the water in the pot and use the flame bullet. Then, the bullets were created and disappeared in the water, and the water boiled.

The important thing here is that you should not dip your fingers in it. If you did it wrong, your hands could end up in boiling water. I had to quickly heat the water and remove my hand.

It looked like the water in the large pot could be boiled with just two fire bullets. The firepower is quite high.

“Oppa, I’ll wash your back.”

“Yes, thank you.”

After coming out of the basin and sitting on the bathroom chair, Hyuna soaked a shower towel with water and body wash and rubbed her back. I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling her touch her.

“Oppa, oppa?”

“Huh? Seup.. Oh, I didn’t sleep.”

Hehe. Don’t pretend not to sleep when you sleep. Haha.”

Hyuna smiled as she stroked my shaved head with her palm. When she rubbed her back, it felt like she was getting a massage, which made her feel drowsy. In fact, she is so sleepy right now that if she closes her eyes she will fall asleep.

“Okay, now that we’ve washed up, shall we go out?”

“Huh. OK. Ha~am…”

When I got out of the basin, Hyuna wiped my back and legs with a towel. She seems to want to do something for me, so I am truly honored and grateful for her. In fact, she was having a little trouble bending down to wipe her lower body because of her muscle pain.

“Oppa, I cleaned the machete and all the weapons.”

“Hey.. Thank you.”

While I was washing up, Ayun seemed to be cleaning weapons and organizing supplies. The blood and fat on the blade she had been completely wiped away. Thanks to quality maintenance and blade reinforcement, there is no risk of damage to the blade, but it is still good because you need to maintain it to be able to use it sharper.

Also, the reward boxes that were in the bag were neatly organized in one corner. It’s neatly organized so I don’t have to touch it twice. Later, just peel them in order.

“Inho came out? “Let’s eat quickly.”

“Oh.. It smells good..”

“Yes, please sit down.”

Saeyeon’s sister prepared all the food for her on the table. Stir-fried kimchi, pork, and soybean paste stew with seaweed. And even seasoned with red pepper soybean paste. Meat side dishes… They even grill beef just when I come out.

“Oh.. Sister..”

“Hehe.. Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

It seems that because the gas was cut off, they boiled and stir-fried everything using four portable gas burners. It looks like they cooked the rice in a pot because they couldn’t use an electric rice cooker. How did they not burn it? It was cooked well.

“I will eat well.”

We sat around the table.

This is my first meal in almost two days. I quickly stuffed rice into my hungry stomach.

“Hehe.. Seonhwa prepared the food earlier. Hehe.. I don’t know how to cook anything other than an electric rice cooker..”

“Aha.”

Park Seon-hwa has a hobby of camping, so it seems she was good at this type of cooking. Thanks to her, she ate well-cooked rice.

“Now that I think about it… Those seven people…”

“Five women went up to the 8th floor. First of all, I handed out food for today, but everyone looked tired so they seemed like they were going to sleep… I also gave them water to wash, so they should have just washed up and are probably sleeping by now.”

Of the seven survivors in the auditorium, the five who decided to remain female seemed to have decided to use the 8th floor. Heejeong Lee also said that he lives there. And the two people who decided to remain men stay with Yeongsik.

“They said they would learn how to live as men.”

“Huh…”

Yeongsik was left to take care of the men who were women just a few hours ago… Still, since the three of them were sharing the 10th floor and not staying in the same house, it didn’t seem like there would be any problem.

“Hururup.. But oppa. What was that golden gate after all?”

“Huh? Ah. “That.”

In response to Hyuna’s question, I told her about the golden gate that Yeongsik found in the commercial building.

“Wow.. Then..”

“You can create a base.”

“It’s really awesome…”

Everyone looks very happy. He seemed happier, perhaps because he knew that winter and night would come soon.

“It was a good meal.”

“Whoa.. I’m full.”

“Ah, Inhohya. Leave it alone. “We’ll do the dishes.”

“Oh.. Thank you. Then I’ll open the box.”

“Yes~”

I left it to them to clean up after me and looked at the reward boxes organized at the entrance.

There were a total of 12 reward boxes. 8 green reward boxes and 4 blue reward boxes. First, I opened all the green reward boxes.

[Serial Killer’s Ax: Strength increases by 10 against humanoid enemies until durability runs out and is completely destroyed, and it becomes easier to cut off the opponent’s body parts.] [Durability: 100]

This had similar performance to a zombie slayer’s machete. You can be unrivaled against humanoid enemies.

Moreover, since the ax is both a weapon blunt and a sharp weapon, I, who had a reinforced blade, could use it, and Ayun could use a crushing blow.

[Rune Stone of Evolution: When used on a weapon, it greatly increases durability and grants 2 random effects.]

This was a reinforcement item. You could feed it to a weapon that came out as an item, or you could make it into an item by feeding it to a regular weapon.

It would be great to use it with the intermediate bloodstone that came from killing a vampire. It was a stone that allowed you to use it permanently instead of cutting the durability of the item in half. If you use it with an evolution rune stone, you can completely compensate for the shortcomings.

I’ll have to think about which weapon to use it for later.

[Anti-pollution mask: Works for 20 minutes per lowest grade magicite. Filters out most contaminants in the air.] [Durability 25]

It is a product with just the right performance. I think it will be useful when entering a strange and dirty dungeon. For example, a place like a stinking gutter.

[Grave Robber’s Pickaxe: There is no durability damage when destroying a terrain feature. If you attack a living creature, durability will be consumed quickly.] [Durability 100]

There is no loss of durability when hitting a terrain feature, such as an ore vein, a wall, or something like that. This was literally an object to be used when breaking or digging out something. It was close to a demolition tool.

[Astral Sword: You can use a magic stone to take out a blade made of spirit. Although it cannot cause physical harm, it can cause extreme pain. You can attack the spirit body directly.]

“Wow..”

Only the handle of the sword came out. This would be great if you use it in combination with the pain-related curse-type skill you got from killing college students at the mall earlier. Because it can only cause pain without hurting.

However, the explanation that it could attack a spiritual body gave me a bit of goosebumps. This was no different from saying that a spirit, or ghost, was appearing.

[Golden Fishing Rod: If you throw a fishing rod into water more than 1 meter deep, you can catch something unknown within 10 minutes.]

This is another novel item. If you throw it into the water somewhere, something will be fished out within 10 minutes without any float or other equipment. They say they don’t know what will be uploaded, so there might be something strange coming up.

But the more important point here is that this fishing rod has no durability. Just use as much as you want.

[Hunter’s Censer: When you feed it magic stones, it emits a subtle scent. Animals do not try to approach as far as this scent can reach. Each lowest grade magicite emits a scent for 10 minutes.]

This was similar to the exorcist’s lantern that I obtained previously. The exorcist’s lantern had the effect of driving away the dead, but this one drives away beasts.

If you think about it, these are items that can secure a kind of safe zone when creating a dungeon. If you go into a dungeon where the dead or beasts appear and use them, you can turn a certain area into a safe zone.

‘As long as there are enough magic stones..’

I am glad that I will be able to continue to obtain magic stones from the Infinite Labyrinth.

“Now, the last green box..”

[Black Death Egg: Hatches within 3 days. If you hatch it, you will get a baby black snake that listens to the first person it sees. If you take eggs, you can feel full for 3 days.]

Something that looked like an ostrich egg came out. However, the eggs are black.

“OMG. What is that..”

Ah Yuni, who was in the middle of cleaning her rice bowl, asked in surprise. It’s a bit difficult because suddenly a large, black egg appears.

“When this hatches, a snake will come out.”

“Ugh.. I hate snakes…”

“You listen well, sister.”

“Still.. Snake slayer..”

Saeyeon made a very disapproving expression.

Do I have no choice but to eat this..

“Still.. If Inho wants to raise it, I’ll put up with it..”

“Really..?”

“Yeah.. I’m not allergic to reptiles.. I hear you listen well..”

“Thank you, sister.”

Thank god. It’s better to hatch this weird guy and use it.

“Okay, then… “

Now there is a blue reward box left. These are green and the boxes are quite bright. If the green reward box is basically the size of a jewelry box, the blue reward box is the size of a laptop.

There may be items that are that large in size. Instead of opening this inside the house, I should open it in the hallway.

“Well, let me break this down.”

“Yes~ I’ll go.”

I took the boxes and went outside.
