Chapter 131 – 131. Cheat, Burn, Rob
Hyoseon Girls’ High School is a school that is close to the mountain, so it can be said that it is halfway up the mountain. As a result, the undead, whose main habitat was the downtown area, did not come up well around here.
That means that survivors are good at surviving. As such, there were quite a few survivors at Hyoseon Girls’ High School.
Most of the survivors who settled in Hyoseon Girls’ High School were students of Hyoseon Girls’ High School. They returned by the Lunar New Year holiday and gathered in the school gymnasium to prepare for the National Boys’ Sports Festival in March. They met a disaster during training and have been living in a girls’ high school until now.
The schoolgirls and a few gymnasts who faced disaster at school woke up and killed the zombies that invaded the school, and supplied special weapons and equipment through peddlers who came in between.
Among the awakened high school girls, rare class awakeners such as engineers and plant farmers appeared, and thanks to them, the school turned into a half-fortress. First of all, turrets made by engineers using skills were installed all over the walls of the school to automatically intercept approaching zombies, and the roots and stems of trees grown by plant farmers were entangled to reinforce the walls surrounding the school to protect the school from the outside.
Hyoseon Girls’ High School was half-fortified by the special classes of engineers and plant farmers, and those who still had plenty of food stocked did not dare to leave the school. Moreover, there was no reason to go further by the various fruits that Farmer had grown by turning her playground into an orchard.
However, it was not that he was completely cut off from the world. Although they did not actively travel outside, they accepted survivors from time to time when they came.
For example, they accepted young couples with children or boys who were asking for help. In this way, at Hyo-seon Girls’ High School, survivors gathered from here and there coexisted with the existing high school girls.
Thanks to this, I was able to come into contact with a lot of unusual incidents and accidents that happen in downtown areas. For example, the thugs who settled in the sports center were suddenly massacred one day, or black cockroaches attacked zombies and people.
Or strange rumors about people possessed by demons recommending strange religions, or monsters living in an unknown supermarket.
Of course, the survivors of Hyoseon Girls’ High School, who didn’t go out well, dismissed such rumors as just rumors and didn’t believe them all. No matter how much the world was destroyed, I thought there was no way that a monster with the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a human could wander around. All they saw were zombies, so they couldn’t believe it.
Anyway, they accepted the survivors and were able to hear a lot of important information here and there… But they just ignored them and focused on decorating their base.
“Jisun sister!”
“Ha-am. Is it shift time already?”
“Yes. Sister, everything was fine, right?”
“Uh. Same as yesterday. It’s fucking boring.”
Two high school girls, Lee Soo-kyung and Kim Ji-sun, wearing school uniforms with indelible bloodstains, were holding bows and looking around.
The two of them laughed and talked while having a conversation without any tension. Except for the second week, not a single ant came, let alone a zombie. Even if there were people who came, they were helpless survivors, so they were careless.
“Weren’t there any survivors coming?”
“There were no survivors. Except for the four men who came to visit last week, not a single ant cub is wandering around.”
“Four survivors.. Ah~ oppas who are serious raiding groups or something?”
“Oh, those people. But aren’t those guys a bit strange?”
“Is it so?”
“Oh, you keep saying weird things.”
“Well… I must have seen something scary outside.”
“Is that so… The story of a knight without a head… Cockroaches… The story that there are other monsters besides zombies is kind of funny.”
The four members of the serious attack team, who were about to leave Seoul, had also entered Hyoseon Girls’ High School. They were still in a state of mental shock after team member Gu Kyo-han’s head exploded and became a dura-han, and after a close battle with Jo Joon’s gang.
In particular, Yoon Ji-ho, a mystic and a glasses holder, had lost the will to attack further. When the team’s brain lost its will, they naturally lost their aspirations to clear and solve the game and became one of the ordinary survivors.
“Rather than that, it’s really quiet these days. What do you think will come out? Like a field boss.”
“Hey. If you say something like that, what do you mean? The other day, it popped out from the neighborhood and it was so hard for the teachers to catch it.
“Yeah~ Tteot teo teo. OK?”
“Okay. You really care You’re just talking and you’re really denying it.”
“Ugh. Seniors too! In a word, if it had been fraudulent removal, we would have all died right away?”
“Ehh… That’s okay. What do you know… Then I’ll go down, see you in the afternoon.”
“Yes, you worked hard! Get some rest!”
“Yeah.. Good job.”
Lee Soo-kyung, a junior, nodded playfully to her senior, Kim Ji-sun, and she took the seat of the designated shooter.
Ranger Lee Soo-kyung and Marksman Kim Ji-sun are in charge of monitoring the rooftop in rotation. During the day, Lee Soo-gyeong watches over, and at night, Kim Ji-sun watches over. Since the two had very good eyesight and were an archer-type class specialized in handling long-range weapons, they were in charge of observing the surroundings.
Moreover, because the role they played in the rare class was clear, the two were very valuable awakenings in Hyo-seon Girls’ High School, and they were treated very well.
Of course, I was still at level 15 because I was stuck in school and didn’t level up on time. They didn’t matter. Because their role was not a direct battle between the guards around the school.
Moreover, the threatening survivors would have all died while leaving the city center, and they were living a comfortable life because they did not think that the zombies would head here after eating all the survivors in the city center.
“Hmm.. Boring..”
Lee Soo-kyung let out a sigh as she looked at the clear sky today, the same as yesterday. Survivors occasionally visit, as four men did last week, but even that has been rare these days. The number of survivors seemed to have dwindled significantly since the ghosts were out in the middle of the night.
The screams did not stop in the city center every night because of the ghosts that were impervious to physical attacks and who approached unseen and possessed the living. For some reason, ghosts did not approach Hyo-seon Girls’ High School, but countless survivors died every day because of ghosts in the downtown area.
Since she was confined to school after her destruction, the curious Yee Soo-kyung, who was unaware of the terrible situation outside, was very curious about what was going on in the downtown area filled with apartments. She often wondered why she wanted to join the search group and go down there. However, she couldn’t get out because her role was to watch out for approaching enemies. She was just waiting for something to happen.
“Uh…?”
Even today, Yee Soo-kyung, who was sitting on a chair on the rooftop and imagining walking around the deserted streets of the destroyed world and robbing a mart or convenience store, saw three survivors walking up from below.
“And! They are survivors!!”
Soon she tugged on the rope attached to her chair. This was the string connected to the alarm bell that signaled an emergency. The survivor’s visit was a good moment of interest when she was bored in her situation, so she pulled the rope vigorously. Then the bell rang downstairs and the teacher on duty came up to the roof.
“Are you Zomba? Or a survivor?”
“Oh, there are people walking up from afar. I am a survivor.”
“Let’s see… Three people? I can’t see the face very well. Are you a woman or a man?”
Yoo Hye-ji, a gym teacher whose vision wasn’t as bright as Lee Soo-kyung’s, asked, frowning at her to check on the survivors walking up from a distance.
“Let’s see… All three of them are women. A woman with bobbed hair holding two swords and piercings… What is that?”
“Why?”
“No.. The weapon that the pink-haired woman is holding.. It looks like a hammer, but it’s the size of a person.”
“Uh… Is it real? Fighting with something like that…?”
“Huh… And finally, a very tall, blond-haired foreigner.”
“Are there even foreigners?”
“Yes. I’m white. He is holding a red scythe.”
“Women walking down the street with weapons like that. All three are like players. I get it right away Keep an eye on me. The teacher will take care of the rest.”
“Yes!”
Soon, Yoo Hye-ji went down again. Yeesookyung kept a close eye on the surroundings to see if there were any other colleagues or companions with those three women.
The non-Awakened only confirmed their identity and accepted them into the group, but the Awakened had a different story. I didn’t know what kind of impure intentions they might have, so I always paid attention.
“Stop there!!!”
Yu Hye-ji and the players in the girls’ high school shouted on top of the wall reinforced with plant roots and stems surrounding the school.
Then, the three women who had been walking up with nonchalant faces all looked up at Yoo Hye-ji, who was holding a sword.
“You guys there. That’s a player!”
At Hyeji Yoo’s cry, a short-haired woman came forward and she shouted in front of her.
“Yes! We are the Awakeners! The group we used to live in was devastated by skeletons and ghosts last night… So we ran away! Please help us..!!”
The bobbed-haired woman screamed with her desperate feelings.
Her expression was quite realistic, as if she was about to shed tears of fear at any moment.
