Chapter 101 – Finding Kim Hyeonjun (2)

For a day, I really thought that Kim Hyun-joon would come back and waited.
But the guy didn’t come back, and on the second day, I searched all over the 1km radius centered on the plaza to find Kim Hyeon-jun.
What… I didn’t go all that way, I looked all over the place.
Only one piece of information was obtained.
It’s just that I can’t find it on my own.
Kim Hyun-joon also thought that if a monster strong enough to run away appeared, it might be easy to find because there were traces of battle left here and there, but there were no dead bodies left because the zombies had eaten them all, and it’s a harder world to find a place with no traces of battle.
So, starting today, I decided to get help from an assistant.
No, I was doing something stupid, and the helper came to me on its own.

“If you had something like that, you should have said it earlier!!”
“I thought you were just going hunting… And since you already checked my characteristics, it’s hyung who didn’t ask me to find out with you?!”

Yes, this is honestly my fault.
I should have taken this guy, the only male among the three college students I brought to the shelter, to find Kim Hyeon-jun…
But why does this kid have these eyes?
It would have been much better if Iria, who hadn’t eaten it yet because of his girlfriend Yu Min-ah or Ju-ha and Min-seo, had it.

『Name: Yejun Park (23)
Height: 178 cm Weight: 74 kg
Traits: Agile Movement (E), Hunter’s Eye (C)
Coins: 463
[Strength Lv.18] [Agility Lv.19] [Stamina Lv.15] [Luck Lv.2]』

It’s the hunter’s eye, the trait that this guy has.
With these good qualities, I have been heading alone on the ground.
Well, even now, if you use this guy’s characteristics, it won’t be that difficult to find Kim Hyeon-Jun, so you can think of it in a good way.
I don’t know what kind of monster came out, but it’s not so weak that it can’t last for days.

“Find. He said he ran away in groups, so it should be easy to find.”
“Yeah, but how can they come like that… “
“Then find it quickly. If I can’t find it, I’ll leave you here alone, so do your best. I am not one to joke.”
“If you said you would help, then protect me..!”
“Do you think I look that kind of a guy?”
“Not at all! This way!!”

Park Ye-joon looked at me and shouted and started running, pointing his finger at the road to the north from the plaza intersection.

“OMG!!”

Pooh!!!

“Ha!!!”

Awesome!!!

When I stare at Park Ye-jun, who screams every time he attacks with a knife in his hand, he looks back at me with an embarrassed expression, perhaps feeling my gaze.

“Why do you look at me like that..?”
“Don’t scream. Did you decide to call all the monsters together?”
“Sorry… “
“And you didn’t come out to hunt, you came out to find people. So, pierce the head and look for traces.”
“Then take good care of me…”
“You didn’t hit me, did you? Do you want to hit me now? I think you can hear me well.”
“Oh no! This way!”
“This bastard must say something… “

I was speechless for a moment.
Clearly, the place Park Ye-joon was pointing at was the Cheonggye Stream, below the very short bridge, but his eyes kept glancing at the shabby shopping mall across the street.

“What is there?”
“No, that… In fact, the trail is divided into two… The big trace is this way, but there are traces of people moving towards that building… Go, let’s go together!!”

Before Park Ye-joon finished his words, I ran towards the shabby building, and he hurriedly followed me. After a while, we entered the shabby office like the shabby exterior of the building and stood in front of three people who were shaking and kneeling.

“Sah, save me! We really don’t know what happened to the others after we fled here! And Chaewon Yoon didn’t know that the crazy woman was trying to attack the shelter! Really!!”
“It’s true! There is nothing wrong with us other than just dying and surviving.. Black..”
“Save me! I’ll do anything you ask! Please save my life!!”

Two men and a woman kneeling in front of me begging for help.
The three people, who look like ordinary office workers in their 30s, don’t know what happened to Kim Hyeon-joon, who ran away like they say, and they don’t seem to have much to do with Yoon Chae-won’s attack on the shelter.
Just looking at their stats, they were so weak that there was only one stat above 20.
These are probably just people who have been living their lives doing shit in the plaza.

“Then let us… “
“Are you saving me?”
“Thank you! Thank you!!”
“No, I will kill you.”
“Why… Why the hell… “
“It’s better not to leave any regrets behind.”

Having already been tricked by a young woman with the real name of Yoon Chae-won disguised as an information beauty, I cannot help but believe the information I see in front of me.
And there’s no reason for me to save these people, the plazas who attacked the shelter and took the lives of countless people.
Moreover, a being that has the characteristics I need.

Awesome!!!

A woman’s neck being cut off with a swinging bone knife, and I chose one of the three characteristics that a death woman had.

[There are overlapping attributes.]
[You do not need to select the attribute to replace.]
[Acquire Attribute, Fast Movement (D).]
[Duplicate attributes evolve.]
[Acquire Attribute, Acceleration (C).]

『Acceleration (C) – Speed ​​+30%』

Even fast movement, which was the only D-class trait, evolved and acquired two B-class traits and two C-class traits. I turned my head to the side and said calmly.

“What are you doing? Kill it.”
“Me, me?”
“Why? No?”
“It’s not like that… Can I really kill you?”

I’m not the only one who has ill feelings towards the plaza guys.
Park Ye-jun also said that he was attacked by plaza guys when he was in the university dormitory, and he was attacked again at the hotel, so he is a guy with as much sediment as me.
And it’s luck at level 10, but judging from the fact that he has two characteristics, he didn’t even hesitate at the tip of the sword being swung because he had already experienced murder.

Pooh!! Chew!!

Park Ye-joon, who neatly handled the two men, stared into the air for a moment and blinked his eyes, then bowed to me and thanked me.

“Thank you!”
“You look pretty good after killing people?”
“Because I was sick of it too. And now, my agile movements have evolved into quick movements, and I have gained steel muscles! Now if I get just one more trait, I’ll get all four!”
“How did you know that four dogs are the limit?”
“As soon as we arrived, Mr. Hoyle told us a lot about this and that.”
“That old man is omnipresent… Anyway, give me all the coins you have now.”
“Yes? Why is my coin… “
“You got two traits. Did you try to eat for free?”
“… In a mean way… ”

In this way, Park Ye-joon obtained D-class and E-class characteristics, and I obtained 532 coins and started to move east along the Cheonggyecheon following the trail again.

“But you’re not going back to the shelter until you find him…? I told Shi-eun that I would be back by evening…”
“I’ll be back until it’s over. It’s been a few days since that happened, so I can’t be away for more than a day already.”

Since I left the shelter at 10 o’clock, I will start going back to the shelter at least around 3 or 4 o’clock.
Even if it’s not as much as the time it took to go back, it will take quite a bit of time.

“By the way, are you on your way right now?”
“I’m just following the trail I see?”
“… Then where is next?”
“That’s it… “

After moving more than 1km along Cheonggyecheon Stream and passing through apartment complexes on both sides, we came down to the south. Our current location is Wangsimni.
Park Ye-jun, who was looking around on a crossroads bus with a community center to his right and towering apartment complexes in all directions, scratched his head and tilted his head.

“I am cut off here.”
“What? What bullshit is that? Are you saying people have evaporated here?”
“It’s not that, it’s just that it’s been erased recently because other traces have covered the traces it was chasing.”
“Can’t you tell the difference? Didn’t you just say it was deleted because it bothered you?”
“No! You are the one who saved my life, would I?!”

Ah, wasn’t it Kim Hyeon-jun who saved this guy who was almost killed by the giant Arachne in front of the tunnel?
So you came to me to help.

“But what else would you not do?”
“Cadet..!”
“Cadet? Will you hit me?”
“For now, let’s go over there where the darkest traces are, brother.”
“… That bastard climbs higher than Kim Ji-hoon.”

At first, the guy who couldn’t even look at me because he was scared kept trying to climb up for several days, as if he had only heard good things about me from the people at the shelter.
Catch me later and beat me once.
But the people at the shelter can’t speak well of me…
Is it because his reputation improved while dealing with the Plaza gang?
Anyway, after moving about 100m along Park Ye-jun, who started moving east from the intersection, a high school appeared on the right.
Wait, high school?
Hehe… You can get a school uniform for Iria here.
Hyunjoon Kim, I’m sorry.
Is it okay for a little while?

“Hey, stop for a second.”
“Did you notice, too?”
“… What?”
“The traces are the strongest toward high school. It came in droves from all over the place. Of course, there are strong traces there as well… Certainly the most recent traces lead to this school. Anyways too… “
“What else?”
“Even if you don’t have any characteristics, if you are strong like hyung, you can feel all of these things. No, did you become so strong because you could feel this?”
“Kuhm..! Noisy, follow me.”

Even if you go to Mo, you only have to go to Seoul, and whether you stop by to get a school uniform or follow the trail, the destination just needs to be the same, so I didn’t bother to confirm or deny it.
Because it is the freedom of those who should misunderstand and misunderstand.
But have you seen what’s going on at this school?

Wow Changchang!!!

“Ahhhhh… “

Poop!!!

Zombies broke through the windows and landed at the feet of me and Park Ye-joon, who had just entered the front door.
No way… Is there really Kim Hyun-joon in me?

***

“What the hell is this place..?”

Park Ye-joon, who entered her high school, looks around her and frowns at her.
It’s a familiar place to me, but I don’t think he’s seen anything like it yet.

“The Queen’s Nest.”
“Queen’s nest? What kind of queen are you?”
“Is there another queen? Of course it’s the Queen Zombie.”
“Wait! If it’s the Queen Zombie… “

Suddenly, Park Ye-joon, who took a small notebook out of her pocket, opened it somewhere and read it, then grabbed my arm and pulled it.

“Then get out quickly! I hear there are a lot of enhanced zombies here!”

The notebook Park Ye-joon opened is like a monster picture book with the names we gave randomly at the shelter and the characteristics of each.
And in that notebook it is written:
In the Queen’s Nest, there are a huge number of zombies and mutant zombies to protect the queen, as well as a number of strength-type A-type and agile-type B-type reinforced zombies.
Furthermore, the zombies that continue to get stronger and the queen zombie that produces variants and enhancements continue to get stronger, so it is a place where Park Ye-jun cannot help but be afraid.
Of course not me

“If you’re scared, go outside and take a walk. And how can you go without checking when you are screaming like this?”
“That’s it, but… Kid..! We’re talking right now! Go, let’s go together!!”

Park Ye-joon hurriedly followed me up the stairs.
And now inside the school, the screams of zombies as well as the voices of noisy people are echoing.
Maybe people are hunting…
It’s good that Kim Hyeon-joon, who was running away, sold it. He can’t be hunting here, and it would be difficult to find a school uniform if the queen had a nest, but for now, you have to meet someone here.
A place just 100m away from the crossroads where the trail was cut off.
They may be the only witnesses who know Kim Hyun-joon’s next destination.
Are they kids anyway?
What level of conversation…

“Go away, you motherfucker! This is mine!”
“Yes, your mother. Oh, did you follow your mother?”
“Fuck! Your mom is after you too!”
“Yeah, even if your mother dies, her eyes are wide open.”
“Your father’s real dick, I can’t feel it even when it’s stabbed~”
“… “
“… “

The level of conversation that made me, as well as Park Ye-joon, who was looking around the extension with an anxious face, stare at me in a daze.
But that conversation wasn’t just heard in one place.

“If you keep stealing and eating, I’ll chop your head with my axe.”
“Yeah, I’m not afraid at all.”
“Nugeumma cow’s milk.”
“Yes, my mother Glamor. Thanks for the compliment.”
“I’m selling my body to be saved by going to hell.”
“Yeah, your mother too.”
“Your father is selling his body to buy alcohol.”
“Yes, my father sold your mother. The drink is delicious.”
“You fucking bastard..!! Stop eating!! Do you really want to go back?!”
“Yeah, after you.”

While me and Park Ye-joon were mesmerized by the substandard conversations coming from inside the classroom just to the left and from the end of the hallway opposite, urgent footsteps were heard from the bottom of the stairs.
I took a few steps back to check the identity of the footsteps and checked the bottom of the stairs. I saw tall people rushing up the stairs, not elementary school students in the classrooms and corridors.

“What? Aren’t they the kids?”
“Who are you?”
“Does it matter who you are now?! Hey! First of all, don’t kill the zombie queen!! She can’t kill yet!!”

A loud cry coming up the clogged stairs came out and reached not only Park Ye-joon, but also elementary school students who were hunting in the hallway having low-level conversations.
And we weren’t the ones who shouted, but the elementary school students looked at Yejun Park and me with frowns.

“Hey!! Everyone come out!! Those reindeer bastards brought even the old boys in a mean way!!”
“Under… It really varies.”
“How the hell did they get home schooling? My brother is here I’ll educate those naughty kids. Hey there kids! You guys come here My older brother educated me properly today… “

Drrrr!!!
Thud!!
Tadadat-
Come on!!!
Tadada dat-

Chogglings pouring out of the classrooms lined up in the hallway.
How many of them are there?
And each of them holding a bloody weapon in their hand and dripping blood looks quite menacing.

“What?! Kkondae?!”
“Where are you, fuck!!”
“I hate old people!!”
“How are you going to educate him, you old bastard?!”

Park Ye-joon turns his head and looks at me with a teary face at the question of an elementary school student who raises his head in the classroom next to him with a knife the length of his body in his hand.

“Brother… “
“Why are you looking at me? You said you were educating?”
“No, that… “
“Catch that bastard!!”
“Catch and kill!!!”
“Wow!!!”
“Aaaaa!!! Save me!!!!”
