Chapter 76 – 76. There Are Baby Zombies in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.

I never thought you would be given a new skill when you reach survival level 10.

This actually means that everyone who achieves level 10 will have two or more skills. Moreover, if you hunt vampires here or get skill selection through the purple gate, you will be able to obtain many more skills.

“It wasn’t written in the survivor’s log…”

However, when I thought about it, the survivor’s journal did not say that increasing the survival level would create new skills.

I’m not sure if the narrator of the survivor’s journal didn’t write it down for some reason, or if there are different laws in play in that world and our world.

However, considering the personality of the narrator who wrote the survivor’s diary, it was more likely that his world and ours were different than the omission of records. That’s right, the narrator of the survivor’s diary was a person who recorded everything he experienced, even the most trivial details.

I am a human who uses everything I eat that day. If my survival level had increased and I had received an additional skill, there would be no way I would have omitted such information. I’m sure he was happy and wrote it down.

“Are you saying that the city of the future could collapse? That’s a bit unsettling… “

There is a possibility that the winter and night that we thought would come did not come and that a completely different disaster could come. As soon as there was a possibility that what I believed might be wrong, I felt dizzy.

“Fuck.. Probably not.. The big picture won’t change.. And even if it changes, we can just get through it in our own way..”

Anyway, I checked the skills. I didn’t have time to wrap my head around something like that right now.

[Golden Seal (A)]

[Effect: You can seal up to 3 skill handicaps or penalties, that is, golden rules.]

[Handicap: This skill’s handicap and penalty cannot be sealed.]

[Penalty: If you return a skill that used a Golden Seal to its original state, there is a 50% chance that the skill will be deleted.]

“Wow..”

This was quite an amazing skill. You can remove handicaps or penalties from as many as three skills. However, the problem is that you have to choose carefully.

“You have to choose this carefully the first time..”

There are only 3 slots. If you need to reverse the penalty of a previously sealed skill in order to switch to another skill later, there is a half chance that the skill will disappear. 50 percent is a huge fucking probability.

“Still, it’s awesome.”

Although I can only seal 3 golden rules right now, it is still a perfect skill for me who was suffering from too many penalties right now. I could have sealed the trail observation penalty with this right now. Then, maybe all of this self-talk and random thoughts will disappear. Moreover, when used in bullet weaving, it is possible to create infinite bullets without causing any wounds. I think it would be great to use for summoning dark spirits or other skills. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to erase the handicap of spiritual and physical transactions and just shoot them all.

“It would be appropriate to use this for S-rank skills…”

But after looking at it, I thought it was too much of a waste to use it for A grade. Because there is a way to strengthen A or B grades. That’s because if you find someone with the same skill, kill them, steal their skills, and strengthen them, there is a high probability that the penalty or handicap will weaken and disappear.

Yes, the penalty of most A or B class skills can be weakened by catching someone with the same skill. For example, by increasing the level of quality maintenance, the amount of blood spewed out has been reduced.

However, in the case of S-class skills, it is very difficult to obtain the same skill again. So, it would be better to use the only three opportunities to remove the penalty for S-class skills.

‘Moreover, it seems that only the skill penalty I have can be sealed…’

You can improve Saeyeon’s or Ayun’s skills. By erasing the infinite inventory penalty, you can get Saeyeon out of the hell of memorization, or by erasing the penalty for Ayun’s vampire recovery, which is turning into a vampire, you can turn her back into a human.

“Wow, it’s cold.”

I have to go home first. The sun was slowly setting, so I felt like I had to get out of the residential area quickly.

“Whoa..”

I carefully climbed over the front door of the house and got out. There are zombies roaming everywhere. I headed to the apartment with a towel in my mouth to keep from muttering to myself.

Everyone in the group must have gathered by now.

******

A five-story obstetrics and gynecology building.

Park Young-sik and his team members Jeong Ji-min and Park Yun-hwa were imprisoned there.

“Ugh…”

“Hey.. Jimin, come to your senses..”

“No… I can’t see clearly because of the penalty.”

“Woah, Yeongsik oppa, no, hyung… “What should we do?”

“I don’t know… Maybe I should spend the night here today. Don’t panic too much…Just calm down. It will get better when the sun rises. “It’s so dark now that I can’t do anything even if I go out.”

“Ah…”

Park Young-sik and the four survivors in the auditorium were attacked on their way home in the heat of the moment, and were now divided into two groups.

First of all, Park Young-sik, Jeong Ji-min and Park Yun-hwa, who had decided to become men, were in the postpartum care center within the obstetrics and gynecology department, and it was impossible to figure out where Park Sun- hwa, who had iron degeneration, and Lee Hee-sun, who had communication skills, had gone.

“Seonhwa unnie.. No, I wonder if she will be safe..”

“I hope you stay alive..”

“If it’s Seon-hwa, she’s definitely alive.. I’m worried about Hee-seon..”

“So…”

The three people hid in the staff lounge of the postpartum care center and worried about the other two. I was especially worried about Lee Hee-seon, who was injured.

If you make a mistake, you could die.

“But Yeongsik, what were those things? They weren’t even people, but they were holding weapons..”

“Those were probably ghouls. A zombie with high intelligence.”

“Fuck… If it weren’t for those bastards earlier, I would have gone home a long time ago without having to run into a ghoul..”

“I know, right. Damn you bastards… “

Go back a little in time, when the sun was still up. Park Young-sik and four of his team members were hunting zombies to increase their survival level.

Farming for survival items was the responsibility of Yoo Sae-yeon’s team, so there was no need to worry about it, so all they had to do was raise their level enough to enter the infinite labyrinth that Kang In-ho obtained.

The grade was raised smoothly until 3:30. Then, as 4 o’clock approached, the sun began to set and they decided to return to the apartment. This is because everyone was somehow able to raise their survival level to around level 5.

Everything was going well. The survival level rose faster than expected, and everyone was smiling with satisfaction at the thought of going home.

It would really have been the perfect day if I hadn’t run into other survivors on the way home.

“Well, the two women stay here, and you guys give everything you have. Then I’ll just let you go.”

They were armed and murderous robbers. They threatened Park Young-sik and his team members with guns and weapons.

Park Yeong-sik’s group consisted of five people, and the robbers numbered twelve. The number was much greater than that of the other side.

Moreover, there were three guys with guns, and most of the twelve seemed to be awakened. Park Young-sik thought that since some of them were wearing military uniforms, they were probably deserters.

Armed deserters. There was nothing they could do against 12 awakened people, including three with automatic rifles.

Still, I couldn’t simply give up everything I had and leave my two women behind. When Park Young-sik moved to resist as much as possible, one of the robbers on the other side made an example and shot him.

As a result, Lee Hee-sun, who had communication skills, was pierced through the shoulder of her left arm. Lee Hee-seon couldn’t hold back her screams due to the terrible pain, and nearby zombies came rushing in.

Up until this point, the robbers had thought nothing of it. Because it was enough to just kill the zombies.

However, contrary to what they thought, among the zombies that came after hearing gunshots and screams, there were ghouls. Not just one, but many. They were even armed.

From then on, the situation developed into a three-way battle between the survivors, the robbers, and the ghouls, rather than a confrontation between the two groups.

In a situation where survival became uncertain, Park Young-sik gathered his wits and was able to barely escape from the zombies and ghouls using the exorcist’s lantern that Sae-yeon Yoo gave him this morning.

At this time, Park Young-sik, Jeong Ji-min, and Park Yun-hwa quickly escaped, and Lee Hee-sun, who was shot by her, and Park Seon-hwa, who was taking care of her, were left behind .

Park Young-sik thought that everyone would be following him, so he took refuge in a nearby building. She later realized that Park Sun-hwa and Lee Hee-sun had not followed, but by then it was already too late.

“Fuck… Did you see the open-bellied zombie earlier..? Ugh.. I feel like throwing up.”

“Hey.. Don’t talk about pregnant zombies because I feel like I’m going to throw up too..”

The inside of the obstetrics and gynecology unit where they were hiding was a mess. From pregnant zombies wandering around with their bellies wide open, to infant zombies chewing on their mother’s flesh as if they were infected with a virus even though they were just babies.

They were in a state of psychological shock that was difficult to express in words. I felt like I wanted to ask God why the hospital I ran into was an obstetrics and gynecology department.

In addition, the obstetrics and gynecology department was filled with zombies wearing doctor’s gowns and zombies dressed as nurses. Park Young-sik used the exorcist’s lantern to keep the zombies away and then hid inside the postpartum care center. Now, the magic stones had run out and it was impossible to even light a fire.

Therefore, Park Young-sik planned to stay up all night and quickly get out of here in the morning. Because it was too dangerous for her to move at night.

-Bang!! Boom!!!

“Shit, shit..”

“Now, this sound..”

“I’m breaking down the entrance.. Both of you get up..”

However, something entered the obstetrics and gynecology department as if they would not let them hide quietly.

******

On my way back home, I realized that the direction I was heading in was very turbulent.

“What..”

As she observed the traces, she realized that something unusual was happening. As I focused more on the sounds I heard, I thought I heard gunshots as well.

‘Are they soldiers..?’

The sun is setting. Shouting and gunfire heard from the road leading to the apartment.

I took a step towards that direction. Maybe there are soldiers fighting over there. Then, we can intervene and capture guns and other items.

‘Now we can catch even soldiers… ‘

Above all, I have dark spirits. Moreover, he has even obtained the ability to summon the dead.

‘Okay, now let’s see if we can summon the dead by sacrificing a dark spirit..’

Dark spirits are also beings that are first given a physical body in a spirit body and are able to influence reality. Therefore, when it is stored in my body or summoned, it can be considered a spiritual body.

Wouldn’t it be possible to summon the dead using this as a soul? In this way, you can create an army of the dead using only magic stones without the need to collect souls by hunting intelligent beings.

If the dark spirit is not stored in a part of the body, it will quickly disappear, but if you transform it into a dead person, it would be great because you can keep it without having to give up a part of the body.〈 Br〉

First, I used the magic power stored in the magic circuit to summon a skeleton soldier who had not yet been given a skill. Like the others, a pitch-black skull rose from my shadow.

“Uhm…”

I tried to summon the dead by consuming dark spirits, but it didn’t work. Unfortunately, it seems that the dark spirit cannot summon the dead. If I had known this would happen, I should have learned the prerequisite skill, soul collection.

“Ah.. Ah..”

Don’t be too disappointed though. There is a Tomb of the Immortals in the Infinite Labyrinth, so a necromancer will definitely appear as a boss mob there at least once. Then, you just have to catch him and get the soul collection.

“Come out with blood.”

Even if I don’t summon the dead, it’s okay because I still have the ability to summon dark spirits. Honestly, summoning dark spirits seems to be a more complete and better skill than summoning the dead.

Wouldn’t it be okay to just hand over the summoning of the dead to someone else? For example, Saeyeon noona has no combat skills. If I get the soul collection later, I can give it to someone else.

“Let’s go for now..”

I moved to the place where the gunshots were heard, led by the dark spirits I had summoned.

It would be a good idea to get everything you can on the way home.
