Chapter 91 – 91. When a Tiger Dies, It Leaves Behind Its Skin…

Three survivors encountered in Incheon.

Their level of armament was not very high. However, looking at the blood on his body and hands, he had already killed something.

Of course, it could be the blood of zombies spread all over the place, but zombies that have decayed do not splatter that much blood. Judging by the stains on his clothes, it was clear that he had killed a living person or creature.

Moreover, one of the double bags they were carrying was covered in blood. No, it’s flowing. There’s something in that bag. Maybe… It might be the neck or a specific body part of those killed.

They are dangerous. They may be coming to plunder us from the beginning, and killing us may be their goal.

I dare to guess that they may be trying to sacrifice us to those who have skills similar to spiritual and physical transactions.

Trace observation showed that.

“Hey, there. Don’t come any closer and stop.”

I took out my gun and pointed the gun at them, preventing them from coming any closer to us.

An unidentified adult man and woman are approaching, carrying a bag stained with blood. This shouldn’t be given any more distance. There is nothing good about getting closer.

Especially at a time when law and morality have lost their function, the fact that people covered in blood are approaching without fear means that they will kill you, so doesn’t that mean that you should calmly sacrifice your heads?

‘Oh, come to think of it, I’m covered in blood too? In the first place, I am a more dangerous person than them..!’

Therefore, I decided to become a very dangerous person. At first, I just tried to avoid it. Those guys were the ones who came first. You are bad.

“Oh, now, wait! “I’m not trying to fight..!”

“Ugh, uh…Fuck..!”

“It’s a gun.. A gun came out of thin air..”

“Shut up and throw your weapons, bag, and everything else you have on the floor. “If you don’t want to be left behind.”

In response to my warning, the man with dyed hair who was at the forefront carefully placed the long knife he was holding and the screwdriver he had attached to his waist to the floor.

Then, the woman full of piercings and the tattooed pig who were standing behind him threw down their weapons.

In the meantime, I noticed the abilities of three people. If you can walk around a street full of zombies, you probably aren’t an ordinary person. Moreover, judging from what we found from afar, we may have a detection-type skill.

[High-speed movement (B)]

[Effect: You can move at extremely high speed.]

[Handicap: It becomes difficult to change direction while using the ability.]

[Penalty: If used continuously for a long time, it will be hard on the body.]

[Body Strengthening (C)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain 1 additional ability point to all stats.]

[Handicap: Stacks only up to 3 times.]

[Hand blade slash (A)]

[Effect: You can open your hand and turn it into a blade. It becomes as hard as steel.]

[Handicap: The hand using the ability is treated as a weapon. You cannot hold a weapon.]

[Penalty: You cannot move your fingers for 5 minutes after using the ability.]

However, contrary to my expectations, there were no detection-related abilities. It seemed like they just happened to spot us from over there and approached us. Or maybe you have a related item.

Well, anyway, I was very curious about what was in that blood-stained bag.

“Hey, you there.”

“Yes..?”

“Open the bag over there. “What’s in it?”

“Uh…”

I asked the blonde man what was in the blood-stained bag. The man then rolled his eyes and immediately opened the bag and showed the contents.

“Fuck.. That..”

“It’s a cat.”

“Ah.. Fuck.. How many birds did I kill… “

For some reason, their bags were filled with the corpses of stray cats.

“What were you trying to do with that?”

“That..”

“Why don’t you speak quickly?”

“Bah, I’m going to offer it to you..! “I wanted to offer it.”

“I’m giving it to you..?”

“Yes.. I was going to offer it..”

“Where… And to whom?”

“Well, I heard that if you sacrifice the corpse of an animal, you will be blessed.”

“What?”

“Well, that is.. The labyrinth that can be entered through the green gate can be registered.. I received a request from there…”

These guys had a naturally occurring infinite labyrinth.

This is one more reason to kill them. Because I have a notebook for gate records.

[Gate Record Notebook: You can retrieve the gate held by the target you killed with your own hands. You can record a total of 10 gates in your notebook. If you have a notebook, you can open the recorded gate.]

With this, I can take away that bastard’s infinite labyrinth. Moreover, it seems that there is something inside the infinite labyrinth that wants the corpses of animals, so I will offer them all the corpses of animals that will crawl out of my infinite labyrinth, along with the cat that took their life.

Of course, there is also the option of forming a team with those guys… But the impression is not good. Now that I’m holding a gun, he’s obediently following my orders, but I feel like he can’t let down his guard at all.

It would be better to just deal with it…

At that time, the blonde gangster felt something strange and took action first.

“Ugh!!”

He threw the bag full of cat corpses at me with all his might and then immediately used his high-speed movement skill to rush at me.

Aiming is not easy due to its high-speed movement. However, it is not profitable to use bullet weaving and shoot until you hit.

From the moment the gunshot rings out, everyone from nearby survivors to zombies and ghouls will know of our presence. It takes courage to even fire a single shot, but you can’t go on a shooting spree just to catch a bastard like that.

Moreover, it is inefficient to announce that we are here in all directions when we have already arrived near Kang Ji-yeon’s house. If all the zombies flock here for no reason, the search for Kang Ji-yeon’s family will be over.

Lastly, the biggest reason for not shooting is because the handicap of spiritual and physical transactions has not yet been eliminated with the Golden Rule. If you kill it with a long-range weapon, you can’t trade between spirit and body. That’s such a shame.

In addition, the explanatory text written in the gate record notebook says, ‘I will kill you with my own hands.’

“Haa…”

For that reason, I put the gun back in my inventory and pulled out a nice old long sword.

All you have to do is kill it with a crushing blow that twists the limbs with just a brush, and a one-point penetration that makes the stab attack no different from a one-hit kill.

No. There is no need to use two skills. An ability seal would be enough. All you have to do is slow down a bit.

Before I knew it, I used my ability seal on the blonde gangster who had come right in front of me.

“Huh…?”

A blond gangster whose speed suddenly decreases when he activates his ability seal. The body of the thing that had been running forcibly, turning back and forth like a turned hedgehog, became sluggish.

Then the guy became very embarrassed. Well, you must be really embarrassed because the skill you were using was suddenly sealed.

“Why is this happening..!! Fuck!!!”

-Whoops!!!

The guy’s head broke off. He didn’t even use a crushing blow. I just swung my sword down at the guy who was struggling.

This old long sword feels good in the hand. In an instant, the head split and the blonde-haired boy fell forward.

“What the fuck…!!”

“Bounce!!!”

A woman with piercings and a pig with tattoos run away in different directions when the blond gangster who was their leader falls to his death. The two ran in different directions, as if trying to take advantage of the law of living when scattered.

“Heejeong.”

“Yes.”

Of course, you can’t escape that easily.

Lee Hee-jung took out her astral sword and stabbed it into her left thigh. Due to her fearful resistance, Lee Hee-jung, who even lost his fear of pain, stabbed the knife into her thigh without any hesitation.

Although it is an Astral Sword, no real wounds will occur, but the pain and suffering will be more vivid than the real thing. Moreover, if she uses pain intensification, the pain increases several times.

“Ugh…!”

Lee Hee-jung grimaced at her pain and strangely used her sharing of pain towards the pierced woman who was faster than a tattooed pig.

-Kyaa!!

Clap flop–!!

Then the pierced woman who was running away fell while running. As if someone had an arrow pierced through her leg. It was as if she had been shot.

You’ll probably think you’ve been shot due to the sudden pain you feel. Because I showed you the gun earlier.

“Jiyeon, you caught that tattoo bug. Don’t kill me. Because I will kill you.”

“Ah… Yes…”

Kang Ji-yeon looked a little uncomfortable, perhaps because the person died in an instant, but she couldn’t disobey my words, so she hurriedly ran to catch the tattooed pig.

Tattoo Pig’s skill is hand blade slash. Kang Ji-yeon, with her polar stamina and Taeyun Slam, would be able to deal with that guy.

For your information, I am currently unable to move for a moment due to the penalty of the ability seal, so I took a moment to catch my breath.

“Turn off … Please … Please …”

While Kang Ji-yeon went to catch the tattooed pig, I, who was trying to get her body together, stood in front of the pierced woman first. She looked up at me with her face wet with tears.

Her skill is’Body Strengthening’. This is a crazy skill that increases all stats by 1 for each survival level.

Although it can only overlap 3 times, this is all you need to use the Golden Seal. The moment you use the golden seal to erase your handicap, you will receive a plus correction to each physical ability equal to your current survival level.

Moreover, if you catch one more guy with body enhancement without having to use the golden seal, the restrictions will probably be relaxed a bit more.

The basic level of physical enhancement seems to be C, so there is a high probability that among the people you encounter in the future, there will be people with the same skill.

Because relatively many people have low-grade skills. Therefore, this means that you can alleviate your handicap by increasing your skill level without having to use the golden seal.

“I’m sorry. “I really like the skills you have.”

“Yes…?”

I stabbed her in the chest with her old long sword.

-Fuuuuuk…!!

“Wow…”

Soon her heart and lungs were pierced and she died with her eyes open. She decided not to show her foolish sympathy. I can’t afford that. Above all, if these guys had just gotten out of the way when I tried to avoid them, I wouldn’t have died here.

-Patter.

Her hair is falling down. Now, he casually brushed off her head and her thirty strands of hair were blown away by the wind.

“What skills did that person just have?”

“Huh? Ah. It was body strengthening. It’s a useful skill.”

“I see. “I was just curious.”

“So…?”

“Yes. I also participated in this murder. “I wondered if it was really worth killing.”

“Haha.. I see..”

This is a slightly unusual question and unusual answer. What on earth is Lee Hee-jung thinking?

Perhaps his personality was slightly distorted by his younger brother’s death and various other events.

Still, he was obedient to me for now, so I decided not to say anything. No matter how psycho he is, a psycho who listens well to our side is acceptable.

“Come on, let’s kill that one too.”

“Yes, uncle. No, uncle. Which one do you prefer?”

“Uncle is better than uncle.”

“Then I’ll keep calling you uncle.”

“Okay.”

Heejung Lee and I approached the direction where the tattooed pig was. The tattooed pig had his eyes set on killing Kang Ji-yeon.

Thanks to that, my back was completely empty. I plunged the knife into his back.

“Gagging…”

The tattooed pig collapsed and died, unable to even scream, possibly because its lungs were pierced.

His skills also flowed to me.

‘It’s a hand blade slash…’

In some ways, this skill is just an ordinary body strengthening skill. However, if you look closely at the handicap, it says that the hand on which the skill is applied is treated as a weapon.

‘This means that you can use crushing blows and one-point penetration with your bare hands…’

If you do not have a weapon or are in an emergency situation, you can now use skills with your bare hands.

Hunting true awakeners is the best.

They give you a labyrinth, give you skills, give you items, and give you everything, and even leave your spirit and body behind when you die. Moreover, you can eat all their bags, so there is no other bonanza like this.

This alone was worth giving up on exploring the simple labyrinth and coming to Incheon today.
