Chapter 2 – Unlock (1)

Unlock (1)

“Kieh!”

A grotesque voice pouring cold water into the mind that had been dazed for a moment.

I hurriedly descended the short stairs two or three steps at a time, watching the madman twist his limbs and begin to go mad.

Preliminary zombies who twist their bodies in agony even as their prey passes by them.

I bit my lip in regret as I looked at the pruner abandoned next to the reserve zombie.

Dangerous.

It was dangerous to approach that madman again, who seemed to have almost been infected, and the time wasted on that madman’s equipment was too long.

Nettle liquid-

My face cuts the wind as I run down the well-groomed tree-lined road.

Kyaaaaa

And the screams of the people who follow the wind.

In front of the front gate of the College of Humanities, which was now visible beyond the side door, there was no hell.

Students placed on a table that always had a Chinese restaurant set on it.

And the zombie cubs chewing them up like sweet and sour pork.

Students trying to get out of the College of Humanities, students trying to get back in after seeing zombies overflowing outside.

And zombies attacking them indiscriminately.

“Aaaaa!”

I gnashed my teeth at the howling of the male student carried by the wind again.

Have to get out

Even a second faster.

Now that those zombie cubs have extra prey left.

Tring-!

[Agility: 1 -〉 2]

[Remaining points: 1 -〉 0]

Points earned over a really long time go to agility.

The moment the display of the agility stat changes from 1 to 2, a distinct sense of heterogeneity is felt in the body.

I could understand it naturally without anyone teaching me.

I was able to speed up much easier and faster than before.

A sense that seemed to be imprinted on my body without any learning or understanding led my legs.

Whee ae ae ae liquid-!

The wind brushes against my ears more fiercely and tore them apart.

A much faster pace and a more regular breathing pattern.

However, this is not enough.

Bread-! Baaaaang-!

The sound of cars clamoring on the road leading to the main gate of Banseokdae after leaving the College of Humanities.

A vehicle that moves rapidly from side to side leaving skid marks on the stretched road.

Vehicles running after hitting students in a state of chaos, regardless of roads or sidewalks.

Wooooo!

I glanced sideways at the bottom of the status window as I watched the car smash into a roadside tree with a roar and the zombies tearing apart the front seat with an airbag exploding.

Apparently, the notification said that the ‘dormant state’ would be released.

Then, there was a high probability that the question I had always been looking at the status window would be resolved.

If there was a status window, of course it had to exist.

The alpha and omega of the status window.

I needed a ‘skill’ to overcome this fucking situation.

[Strength: 1] [Agility: 2] [Intelligence: 1]

[Remaining points: 0]

“… Fuck!”

Except for the fact that the agility stat increased by 1, nothing has changed in the status window.

I frowned as I looked at the status window where the skill didn’t exist.

The joy of finally being able to use the status window was joy, and now was now.

What I was given to get out of this hellish situation is the remaining 1 point.

And those points were already invested in agility.

The road ahead was bleak, but I couldn’t stop running now.

When I first witnessed a zombie attacking a female student in a classroom, I had two options.

Either hide in a safe place surrounded by walls on all sides, or escape from a place where a threat lurks.

And I chose to get out.

“Kieh!”

This is neither an air defense shelter nor a military facility.

A university full of convenience facilities that somehow help students take classes more comfortably, rather than facilities to block something.

Whether it’s to take a class or to eat, I go to the library to study.

It was a university full of floating population, with people moving constantly.

In a zombie apocalypse, that would be one of the worst places that should never be in the beginning.

First, somehow get out of college.

At least, hiding in the residential complex overflowing in Daehangno would have a higher chance of survival.

Wheein-!

The sound of a machine overtakes me as I run frantically organizing my thoughts.

An electric kickboard lightly passed me as I ran with my teeth clenched.

‘… Ah.’

I groaned as if someone had suddenly hit the back of my head with a hammer.

Humans could not defeat machines just because their stat point increased by 1.

At least, the bike must still be much faster than me—

Damn, the field of vision was so narrow in a sudden situation that I couldn’t even imagine.

“Aaaaa!”

While my stomach was bubbling with foolishness about myself, the electric kickboard that I had been diligently keeping a distance from me stumbled.

With the sudden stop, the man at the wheel struggled with something.

Iron Puduk-!

A woman who is thrown away without any resistance by his arms.

What, were there two people on board?

“Mi, sorry! I’m sorry Sehee! I’m really, really sorry-!”

The fearful face of a man watching a female student twisting her limbs on the ground.

“Yeah, but you will change too! Fuck hair— you’re going to turn into a fucking zombie like your seniors!”

Either self-excuse or self-advocacy—

A man spitting and shouting at a woman who seems to be already infected.

Patter-

The man, who was shaking in a cold sweat and looking around, increased the speed of the electric kickboard again.

The man, who had turned his face full of fear and continued to look at the woman, pointed his finger behind him a little more.

“Mu, if you want to bite, ask someone else! It’ll be easier to catch and eat than me, so, yes, that’s right! Or bite that bastard running over there!”

Was pointing at me

The man who abandoned the woman and ran away is getting farther and farther away, and I am getting closer and closer to her.

‘… That bastard.’

Hard-

His molars clenched together in absurd anger.

“Kieh!”

I hurriedly moved the bag I was wearing to my right hand.

And threw it in the face of the zombie who was trying to stand up in a hurry.

A schoolgirl zombie who fell down again for a while with a pop sound.

“Se-hee! You’re alive!”

The man who was leaving on an electric kickboard turned his head backwards at the cry of tearing his throat.

The gaze moved from me, who was running furiously, to the girl lying on the ground.

A strange sound echoes in the ears of the male student who was staring blankly at the female student with his head turned.

Chin-!

“… Uh?”

A syllable that can be heard exceptionally clearly even on a road full of tearing roars.

The man’s body flew through the air with a dumb sound that didn’t match this situation at all.

An electric kickboard hung on a small chin that separates the sidewalk from the road.

And, like Angry Birds, a man flying from an electric kickboard to a tree-lined street.

Coo-!

It was quite loud to be the sound of a head colliding with a street tree.

A man lying on his face, motionless since he flew into a roadside tree.

I turned the accelerator while setting the electric kickboard back up again, whose owner had disappeared.

Wheein-!

The female zombie who accelerated again and reached the electric kickboard and the man who was lying face down.

“Kieh!”

As if rejoicing over an unexpected windfall, I looked at the howling schoolgirl zombie, and then looked down at the fainting man for the last time.

Asshole.

“An idiot who lacks forward vision and doesn’t wear a helmet.”

This is why safety rules are so important.

Well, I didn’t have a helmet either, but I wasn’t an idiot who only stared back blankly like that bastard.

Wheein-!

I turned the accelerator deeper and focused on the front.

Bread-! Baaaaa!

The closer you get to the front door, the more cars you see tail to tail.

A terrible traffic jam where you don’t know where it came from.

And in this kind of situation, there was no driver who would calmly wait for his turn.

Bread-! Baaaaang-!

The sound of loud noises ringing in your ears and the cars breaking out of line trying to somehow escape through the cracks in the front door.

And thanks to those vehicles, the roads are even more congested.

Furthermore, it was a population density that was different from the humanities college and the road I had passed through.

As if all the people trying to get out had gathered, it was clearly visible from afar that people were huddled together.

Thud-! Thud-! Whoa!

For some reason, I pressed the brake lightly out of reluctance, and a roar rang in my ears.

From a distance, a school bus could be seen squeezing through the front door, pushing cars away.

Kiyiyi profit! Whoa!

The school bus, which had been rocked from side to side as if someone had turned the steering wheel in a hurry, collapsed on its side without overcoming its weight.

“Eh eh eh!”

And zombies pouring through the windshield of the collapsed bus.

The zombies attacked everyone gathered at the front door.

Kyaaaaa!

Again, the sound of screams echoing in all directions and people rushing out of stalled vehicles.

Awesome!

Wrong.

I also hurriedly grabbed the brake and bit my lip.

It was too late to get out of college.

… Have to go back in

“Kieh!”

You can see zombies swaying and eating people overflowing at the front door.

A wave of zombies narrowing the distance, wetting the front door like a wave.

To avoid that hell, you have to go back to hell.

“…”

Riding an electric kickboard, anxious about what will happen.

And that’s also riding on the cub that the landlord had just ejected into a tree-lined tree.

“… Fuck.”

Today, the curse words did not leave my mouth.

“Aaaaa!”

At that moment, the end of the congested road.

The vehicle that arrived last was shaking loudly from side to side.

It wouldn’t be the last copulation in this situation, so there was at least one reason.

“Ah- ah- ah-“

A man hurriedly opens the driver’s door and gets out, clutching his forearms.

“Kieh!”

And a woman clinging to the man’s back as he hurries out of the vehicle.

“Ahhhhh!

A scream mixed with pain from a man struggling to get rid of a woman clinging to him like a cicada.

However, it wasn’t the poor victim that drew my attention, it was the car that had just lost its owner.

The tailmost car showing that it’s starting with a hum of the exhaust.

That moment-

A strange feeling stabbed my face.

I felt someone staring at me.

Kyaaaaa!

A man from leader on the other side quietly looking at me in the midst of a zombie wave that is gradually approaching faster.

I exchanged strange glances with the man.

The destination where short-lived gazes move at the same time as if searching for each other.

“… Fuck.”

Wheein-!
