Chapter 39 – King of the Library (4)
Library king (4)
As people accumulate experience, they naturally pursue efficiency.
A long-distance strike tool that is not so easy to find in real life.
Blunt weapons that focus on hitting are more familiar than blades that require more specialized skills in unavoidably forced close combat.
“Kieh!”
That’s why defense and evasion were more important than attack.
The zombie’s only weakness is its head.
It took some kind of small ‘turn’ to apply force precisely to that tiny target.
Anyway, the zombie’s final destination is himself right in front of his eyes.
With defense and evasion, take out the zombie’s turn and focus on the gap as much as possible.
That was the hunting method Park Tae-ha and the search team were learning while experiencing zombies.
Whoops-!
So, they couldn’t understand the scene in front of them.
No- maybe I won’t understand forever.
Kkeudeudeuk-!
The center of the 6th floor, illuminated by the faint light of flashlights.
Zombies were rushing like moths to the resting area surrounded by round tables with computers.
“Kieh!”
And a man who became their common prey.
Whoops-!
Attack, attack, attack.
The man’s iron pipe, filled only with attacks, cuts through the wind without a break.
Whoa!
The heavy sound of the wind permeated the space where the search birds were standing quietly.
Park Tae-ha quietly stared at the zombie whose head was once again mangled by the iron pipe wielded by Han Se-gye.
“Kieh!”
Another zombie fills the zombie’s vacancy and rushes at it.
Disregarding the death of his comrades, his distinctive broken pupils stare intently at his prey.
The bizarre obsession automatically gives goose bumps on the nape of the neck.
Park Tae-ha naturally understood the situation of the world in front of them.
Especially since it was a search team that faced off against zombies several times in the name of practice.
A natural reaction from a prey facing a predator that sees itself as its prey and rushes at it.
My already dazed head is constantly getting tangled up, and strangely, it continues to hunger for oxygen.
The action that I repeated countless times stuttered and my body stiffened by itself.
But he was different.
Whoops-!
He showed no hesitation or fear.
There is only more speed than the emotion that makes people stop.
Whoa oh oh oh oh!
The blows that relentlessly aim for the zombies’ heads.
Their predators were breaking like sorghum puppets.
A bizarre sight that seemed to dilute the fear of them just by looking at it.
“… Crazy.”
Park Tae-ha turned his head and looked at Kim Woo-jung.
His eyes staring blankly straight ahead with his mouth open like an idiot.
And he realized it only when he saw the search crew looking straight ahead with eyes similar to those of Kim Woo-jung.
That he, too, would be watching this scene with eyes that were no different from theirs.
Humans, for some reason, send ugly jealousy to those who could be themselves, but…
I have a lot of respect for those who are convinced that they will never be like that.
In particular, for men who crave genetic strength, there was no clearer and clearer order than that overwhelming violence now.
In a space where the fear of zombies is diluted, awe for the one world naturally remains.
Kkeudeudeuk-!
Han Se-gye threw the desk he was holding in one hand at the zombies who were aiming for his blind spot.
Then, he twists his shoulder slightly while looking sideways at the zombies lying ugly on the desk.
“Kieh!”
A zombie who couldn’t catch a world thanks to his slightly twisted shoulder.
A bloody wind pressure rises in front of the face of the zombie who was trying to pass him by.
Whoops-!
A zombie slammed to the ground thanks to a fist stuck in his face.
“Kieh!”
The roar of the remaining zombies is heard differently.
Rather than the joy of finding prey, for some reason, it was a sorrowful cry.
Poo-! Poo-! Poo-!
A series of blunt techniques followed to clear up the zombies that were under the obstacles constantly thrown by the world.
His back was bent slightly towards the zombies who were laying on the desk and waving their hands.
A particularly dark spot on the ceiling fell, aiming at that back.
A surprise attack in which the search team, distracted by the cool massacre on the ground, suddenly plunged without having time to react.
But, like a flying squirrel, the fall of the variant, which spread its arms outstretched and plunged down, stopped in the middle as if time had stopped.
Chin-!
Han Se-gye turns around and grabs the mutant’s neck as if he knew it.
“Kieh!”
Only then did the mutant, realizing that it had been caught, ruthlessly shake its body and resist.
A mutant who stretches out both hands towards the world, anxiously.
“…”
Han Segye just looked at the mutant with bizarrely thick hair on the back of his body without saying a word.
“Keeeeek-!”
Kkeudeudeuk-!
The alarm that had been ringing loudly stopped with the sound of twisting my hands.
A limp strain, like a powered off robot.
Took-!
Only then did Hansegae let go of the mutant and looked around.
Moving the metal pipe that had been moved to his left hand before he knew it, he moved it back to his right hand and waved it.
“…”
Gulp-.
There was a blatant sigh in his eyes as he stared at the search team without saying anything.
A battle between dozens of zombies and only one human.
However, the last being standing was only one human.
Knock – Knock –
As usual, he shook the metal pipe lightly and observed the center of the 6th floor, which was now drenched in silence, before he knew it.
The search crew and Park Tae-ha hesitantly remove their frozen feet at the unspoken order to keep moving.
They followed quietly through a world where no footsteps could be heard, oddly enough.
Tong-! Tong-! Tong-!
A metal pipe in a world that continues to call zombies casually.
The things that hit the metal pipe that was swinging wildly screamed and stimulated the zombies.
“…”
However, there is no reaction on the 6th floor after the large group of zombies that welcomed the search team from the beginning.
Tong-! Tong-! Tong-!
Zombies do not come out to meet you in the search from the rest area to the seminar room and to the first reading room.
Rather, the string of tension is tightened tighter with a much smaller number of zombies than expected.
The search team deliberately followed the world with a tight grip on the table shield and weapon.
After passing through the spacious first reading room, passing through the men’s and women’s sleeping rooms, the second reading room quietly opened.
In the foreground, which is not too different from the first reading room, an iron pipe swayed once again.
Tong-! Tong-! Tong-!
An attractive decoy to call out lurking zombies.
“… Who are you?”
A somewhat unfamiliar fish was bitten by the attractive bait.
“… Who, who are you?”
The steps of the search team naturally stopped at the sound of the trembling and pitiful ringing of the second reading room.
The search bird’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out, and it naturally became a buzz.
“Sah, you seem to be a Sasasa person?”
On the contrary, Kim Woo-jung, who seemed more surprised and backtracked.
Park Tae-ha swallowed dry saliva quietly at the agitation of the search team, which was not much different from Kim Woo-jung.
“Huh-! Who are you?!”
It wasn’t unfamiliar at all, it was just a woman’s voice, but the place was the problem.
This wasn’t the 2nd floor where the survivors were gathered, it was the 6th floor where they first set foot.
“… Hey, it looks like a woman.”
Park Tae-ha stared in front of her again, glaring at the color of her hair that everyone knows when she hears her voice.
There was no need to judge Park Tae-ha anyway.
It was just a matter of following the orders of one world.
Like that, he looked ahead to follow the instructions of the world, and he narrowed his eyes involuntarily.
“Hey—hey—hey—nu, who are you?”
A whole world was already running toward the frightened voice.
Han Se-gye, rushing to the epicenter of the crying that filled the second reading room, waved her left hand.
Kkeudeudeuk-!
The desk in the reading room was torn apart by his hand.
And I see a straight black haired woman crouching in fear.
Even from a distance, the contours that come in clearly.
To her who shakes her shoulders while showing off her large side breasts that naturally seduces people’s gazes ―
Whoa oh oh oh oh!
The iron pipe was rushing like a flash war.
***
Dump-.
As I watched the woman collapse on the floor of the reading room, I shook her iron pipe.
“Yeah—I wondered why it didn’t come out.”
Tring-!
[You have defeated the variant ‘Siren’.]
[You have acquired 10 points.]
And the status window message that turns my expectations into certainty.
I stared at his face, quietly scanning his unusually long straight hair and breasts of a size that is hard to see in Korea.
The face of the guy I couldn’t see thanks to his crouching posture.
A mutant who died without being able to close his eyes in a sudden surprise attack.
There were broken pupils unique to zombies in his pupils.
In addition, there is a clear sense of heterogeneity that can be felt as soon as one sees the face.
A variant of an attractive backside with a zombie face.
A rather annoying type of trap that emits human voices.
“Yeah- he’s a bastard who could come out, but why didn’t he come out?”
“…”
I still opened my mouth wide and waved to the search team who took turns looking at the deformed corpse.
He rolled his foot at the approaching search team and showed the front of the mutated corpse.
“Hee-!”
The search crew immediately let out a shrill sound, as if they felt the face of the zombies.
I tapped my temples with my fingers as I pressed down the seething insides on their stupid faces.
“Think about it, you assholes.”
Took-!
I kicked the deformed corpse once again and tilted my head.
“If you were a woman who was still alive, what would you do if you suddenly heard a strange sound?”
Took-!
“Should I close my mouth so I can’t even hear my breathing, or should I start screaming for help like a rumor in a neighborhood?”
“…”
“이미 질질 짜는 년들은 다 좀비들한테 잡아먹혔어, 새끼들아.”
Ha-.
I let out a big sigh and scratched my forehead.
Their shoulders tremble even more, probably because they scared them off by catching them a little while ago.
I chanted quietly, making eye contact with Park Tae-ha and the search crew who were waiting for my words.
“Always act suspiciously. This world is no longer the world we used to know.”
Took-!
Finally, with three kicks, the deformed corpse rolls back and forth towards the search team.
I slowly made sure that there was nothing on the ceiling and then stirred the metal pipe again.
Tong-! Tong-! Tong-!
“…”
The second reading room no longer shows any reaction to my quality of metal pipe.
I quietly narrowed my brows at a rather vague feeling.
There were not too many zombies than I thought.
The 6th floor was one of the floors in the library with a lot of space to hide.
An example is the existence of several seminar rooms and men’s and women’s sleeping rooms, which are divided into separate spaces.
But – the number of zombies is far less than I thought.
It’s not like there seem to be any survivors left—
“…”
In the event of a disaster, there were not too many escape routes that humans could choose.
Get stuck in the spot, run all the way down to get out, or—
“… Stomach.”
Run away from the top
I looked up at the ceiling on the sixth floor and smiled quietly.
Rooftop.
There was still a strong refuge that had not yet been identified.
“Follow me.”
I glanced at the search team and hurriedly hurried my steps.
Whether it’s survivors or zombies, it makes sense that there are fewer zombies on the 6th floor than I thought if they were clustered on the rooftop.
Well, since that day was the filming day for High Queens, I came up with a guess that there might not have been many students who dared to come to study in the ever-bustling library–
First of all, it was clear that the rooftop was a strong escape, so I had to finish checking.
Awesome profit!
I opened the inner stairway door and climbed the last remaining stairway.
A solid gray iron door that welcomes the light of a flashlight with a small hallway at the end of the stairs.
Chin-!
When I turned the doorknob lightly, as expected, the door was blocked by something and could not be opened.
I let go of the doorknob and glanced at the search team behind me.
“Step back.”
I had to be careful because I couldn’t tell whether the person behind this door was a zombie or a person.
Checking the search tank, which slowly moved back, I lightly moved my right foot back a little.
Then, holding his breath, he stepped into the gray iron door.
Kwaaaaang-!
A loud roar that could not be imagined as the sound of a door opening.
I silently looked over the dented iron door on the roof and the chairs and tables that seemed to be blocking the iron door.
Wheein-!
An open view with a fairly strong rooftop wind.
Unlike the College of Humanities, which only had an assortment of outdated facilities, a fairly decent rooftop garden greeted us with bright sunlight.
“…”
And contrary to expectations, the rooftop surrounded by the same silence as on the 6th floor.
Took-!
I crossed the threshold of the rooftop and calmly swung around.
Enough recordings to rouse students who are tired of studying.
Green landscaping and panoramic views that regularly refresh the eyes.
Plus lots of resting areas to take in the view slowly.
I crossed the dented iron door and the chair and table that seemed to be blocking the door, staring at the only area that caught my eye.
One person quietly lay down in the center of the roof.
No, there was one corpse that had already been considerably decomposed.
And the torn clothes and junk arranged in a mess around the corpse.
A low whisper is heard from the search team, which quickly followed me after realizing that there was no threat.
“S.O.S…”
The regularity of clutter scattered indiscriminately.
A desperate distress signal placed in a large way toward the sky.
I gestured to Park Tae-ha as I slowly looked down at the clothes and clutter that were moving away from each other, still slightly swaying in the wind.
Park Tae-ha, who quickly sits behind me and shows off his popularity.
I hurriedly instructed Park Tae-ha, frowning at the body crawling with maggots.
“Tell the eunuch that the roof has been secured, so now start cleaning upstairs. Then take the kids down, put on some gloves or something, throw it out of this body, and bring everything like a bucket to catch the rain.”
“Yes.”
Park Tae-ha quickly led the search team downstairs at my instruction.
I quietly raised my head as I watched the search team leave the rooftop.
Shoot ah-
It’s been a long time since I felt healthy sunshine and still blue sky.
The moderate wind that comfortably winds through your bangs—
Woah ae ae-
The flapping of wings of flies that give goose bumps on the back of your neck.
“… Fuck.”
I slowly fell away from the corpse in disgust that made me swear.
Waiting for the search crew to come up, I put my hands behind my back as if taking a walk and swung the rooftop once more.
A rooftop where no zombies can be seen, let alone survivors.
No, the sight of a single corpse lying there naturally frowned.
There are no more areas in the library where you can expect survivors to be.
Even on the rooftop, where there was a possibility, there is only one corpse that has been decomposed for a long time and a strange rescue signal.
Took-!
I glanced down at the large distress signal, lightly kicking a fragment of the distress signal that appeared to have torn my clothes.
Chairs, tables, clothes, miscellaneous items, school bags, writing instruments, etc.—A rescue signal created using literally anything that could be used.
Shoot aaaaa-
Among them, I picked up the notebook that was quietly shaking in the wind.
[Understanding of living things, survival diary]
All the way to the name of what seemed to be a major subject – a strikethrough line and the name of the newly attached notebook after it.
“… For the price.”
I smiled at the corpse already being devoured by maggots and looked down at my notebook again.
