Chapter 124 – Evolving Zombies

No more noisy helicopter propellers.
Because we landed safely on the roof of the broadcasting station.

“Wow~ Captain! There are so many zombies here!”
“It’s a coin~ a coin~~”
“Let’s go and kill!”
“Let’s break the head!”
“Let’s bet. The last one buys ice cream for a week.”

Standing on the roof railing fearlessly, the elementary school commando even makes a bet while looking down at the surroundings full of zombies, unlike the shelter we are in.
However, they said that helicopters in No. 5 are scary, and they go up there well.

“Hey, No. 5.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Aren’t you afraid of heights? Aren’t you scared there?”
“Yes, the helicopter may fall, but the building is strong.”
“Hmm… He’s also weird.”
“Yes?”
“No, look at your work.”
“Yes, then if you’re going to bet, set a time and do it. Let’s just give it five minutes.”

At the same time as I answered, I turned around and left behind No. 5, which sets the conditions for betting with other elementary school special forces, and walked to Kim Hyun-jun, who asked Woo Jin-hwan for a more detailed explanation about living on the emergency stairs.

“What do you keep asking? You don’t even know this guy.”
“Are you going to go in without any countermeasures?”
“What’s the solution to asking? It’s obvious that I’ll be talking nonsense again, but if you’re going to be listening to it, it’s better to just go in quickly.”
“Then you go in first. I will follow him.”
“Why me? Of course, this guy has to go first.”
“Me, me?”

I put my arm around Woo Jin-hwan’s shoulder, who was staring at me with wide eyes, and I patted him on the chest a couple of times to encourage him.

“People who have eaten meat eat a lot, so wouldn’t it be better for someone with experience to take the lead?”
“Ha, but I…!”
“I will refuse to refuse. But if you really don’t like it, why don’t you talk to them separately? Especially over there, you’re the kid with a gun pointed at his head? He’s number 4, and he’s the most stupid among me. And I’m still very angry with you.”
“I’m sure I’ll explain… “
“Hey, No. 4~”
“Yes, Your Highness. Please speak.”
“This man has something to tell you.”
“When I… “

Turning around at my call, No. 4, who folded his waist at a right angle, lifted his head slightly and looked at Woo Jin-hwan, who met his eyes, and wrinkled his face.

“Look at something, you anchovy bastard. Want to get behind?! Get your eyes down before I pluck them out and shove them down your asshole!”
“… “
“What are you going to do? Do you want to go to an interview?”
“I will lead…”
“Good idea.”

Tuk tuk-

I released my arm around his shoulder and lightly tapped him on the back. I looked back several times and followed Woo Jin-hwan, who gave Kim Hyeon-jun a helping look, and walked towards the tightly closed rooftop door.
However, Woo Jin-hwan, who arrived in front of the rooftop door, grabbed his handle and did not move as if he had become a statue.

“Now, don’t look at me and go straight ahead.”
“Wait a minute! No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t seem like this… “
“Whoa… It won’t work. No. 4.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Please give me your name. Right now, I’m going to take off that bastard’s cheek and insert it into his ear hole like an earplug.”
“… Going. Shouldn’t we go!”
“Who dares this weak anchovy scream at?! Captain, shall I kill you?”
“I’ll cut off your arm so you won’t be able to speak, and I’ll stick it in your mouth!”
“Should I cut off my leg and throw it inside?”
“Open for three counts. Or else I’ll punch a hole in your head for disobeying your majesty’s orders. One two… ”
“Hey, open! It’s open now!”

Number 4 is the most stupid, but the rest of the commandos are also stupid.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to survive with the young body of an elementary school student.
Woo Jin-hwan, unable to overcome the threats of the elementary school special forces, turned the knob he was holding and moved into the emergency stairs where the sunlight poured in. I followed right behind him, leaving the elementary school special forces in the middle and Kim Hyun-jun sitting at the far back.
Even if they are stupid and dangerous, they are still children, so they need the protection of me and Kim Hyun-joon as adults.

“We said that if you are in danger, we will help you..!”
“Yes, if something is dangerous, he will save you. But what the hell is that dangerous?”
“Stupid.”
“Sick.”
“A brat.”
“Fool.”
“Fool.”
“… “

Woo Jin-hwan stopped walking at the ridicule of the elementary school special forces behind his back and looked back. When No. 4 told him to walk quickly, Jin-hwan Woo took out a flashlight from his pocket.
Now, from here, the sunlight coming in through the open roof door doesn’t reach.
That’s how we also started going down the stairs after purchasing flashlights one by one at the store, and the moment we went down about 3 floors without anything special happening.

“Kang Ha-jin, something is coming.”
“Uh, I know. Quite a lot?”
“What’s coming, chief?”
“What, what?! How are you?!”
“Quiet.”

I silenced the elementary school commando and Woo Jin-hwan, who didn’t notice anything.
But why can’t anyone but Kim Hyun-joon hear this sound?
I hear a small but very strange sound, like something rubbing against a wall.
Anyway, it’s not a continuous sound, but I can hear things like footsteps from time to time, including a short brushing sound.
And now, as if they heard the sound, the elementary school commandos and Woo Jin-hwan also shine their flashlights here and there with their weapons in their hands raised, but the curious thing is that if you point the flashlight at the place where the sound is coming from, the sound disappears.
As if it had stopped moving.

“I’m sure I heard it from here… “

Swoop-
Talk-

I carefully raised my hand toward the wall where the flashlight was shining, and I knew it the moment I felt the outstretched fingertips.
That there is something in the space between the wall and me.

“What is this?”
“Leader!!”
“Older brother!”
“Boss!”
“Majesty!”
“Your majesty!!!”

The urgent cry of elementary school commandos bursting out all at once along with my murmur.
And the monster that attacks me, revealing its hidden side.

“Aagh!!!!”
“Ouch!! Aww!!!”

It was an amazing scene that made Woo Jin-hwan scream and fall out.
A monster suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Surprised, even the flamboyant elementary commandos are silent and wide-eyed.

“Aw, noisy. I was surprised.”
“Strong Hajin!”
“It’s okay, this is a zombie.”

Yes, the monster screaming madly with my left hand holding its neck is definitely a zombie.
No matter what anyone says, it looks exactly like a zombie.
Of course, the power I feel from my left hand holding the guy’s neck is much stronger than that of a normal zombie.

“Muscle stats in the early 20s. Judging from the speed of falling off the wall, the agility is in the mid-20s.”

At this level, it is much stronger than normal zombies, and weaker than those appearing these days.
So, from my point of view, you can say that they don’t have much to worry about, but the problem is that there are not just one or two of them here.
Let’s deal with this guy quickly.

Kwajik!!!

As if pushed, the back of the zombie’s head, which had been stamped onto the wall, cracked and slid down to the floor. As if it were a signal, zombies appeared not only on the upper stairs that Kim Hyun-jun was blocking, but also in the air and began to fall.
The fight against the hordes of zombies suddenly started at the narrow emergency stairs.
I didn’t care about the top for now, and focused on preventing the zombies from coming up one by one from the bottom.

“Keah!!”
“Aaah!!!”
“Fuck..! This is pretty annoying!!”

Now, it’s inconvenient to deal with the surroundings by illuminating the surroundings with a flashlight held in the left hand, but what’s especially inconvenient is the invisible zombies jumping over the railing next to you or jumping down from the stairs above your head.

Took!!!
Kwadeuk!!

“Ugh..!”

As a reward for not catching a zombie falling from above, he clung to my back and bit my neck, but I was more surprised by the situation that followed.
I was bitten in the neck. It doesn’t matter as long as I get the vaccine…

Pooh!!!

“… “

If I had been hit by a sharp arrowhead that had come out of nowhere in front of my eyes as I turned my head, I might have died.

“Fuck, surprise…”
“Your majesty! It’s me!”
“I know, you crazy…! Whoa… Don’t shoot me because I don’t need help!!”
“Cheese… I shot well…”

Like No. 1 to No. 4, if it was a boy, I would have swearing at her, but since I was a girl, I couldn’t swear too much.
I didn’t want to use it because it would be uncomfortable because it’s a small space, but I can’t help it.
Cut down all the railings and that’s it.

Shahah!!!
Stand up!!!

The zombies that were trying to run towards me disappeared with the bone knife being swung in the air, revealing themselves in half.
Do you see it when you attack or when you are attacked?
It’s certain that you can see it once you attack or search for it, but it’s not clear if you can see it because you’ve been hit by a non-lethal attack.
Well, that’s it, you just have to figure it out slowly…

“Ugh, ah!!! Please save me!!!!”
“Such a bitch.”

While everyone is fighting hard, Woo Jin-hwan, who was sitting alone on the stairs, suddenly screams and is dragged to the stair railing that looks like an iron bar.

Empty!!!

Woo Jin-hwan is being pulled so strongly that the railing that hit his back is bent.
But the problem was not only that.

“Ah!! Aww!! Save me Boss!!!!”

No. 2, whose ankles were caught in the hands of the outstretched zombie while hanging from the railing, fell forward and was dragged toward the railing like Woo Jin-hwan.

Puck!!!

“Kwonok..!!!”
“Cadet!!”

I could feel the sincerity of No. 2’s scream, and the outstretched hand was automatically pulled back toward my body, and both arms were twisted like a twist.
A handrail pole inserted between the crotch.
It’s a pain that any man, old or young, can relate to.

“Are you okay? Does that hurt a lot?”
“Fuck..! You’re fine with this.. Gwonok!!!! Stop pulling, this is a dog without this Amy Abby !!! “

Number 2, who was the only one here to answer the innocent question of No. 5, who could not sympathize with the pain, shoved his right hand into the back of his asshole and instinctively protected his genitals while swearing at the zombie that was pulling him. The anger is now expressed not to the zombies who pull it, but to us who are on the lookout.

“Help me, you fucking bastards!!! Boss! Help me!!! I can’t pee anymore!!! Kkkkohok!!!!”

Her lower body felt numb just by looking at it, so her body was shrunk, but she began to move her stiff body one by one at No. 2’s earnest cry.

“No. 3 and No. 5 save No. 2 and that anchovy, and No. 1 and No. 4 block the upper part! Hyunjun Kim! You come downstairs and stop it!”
“You?!”
“I, of course… “

Without answering, I put the flashlight in my mouth and jumped down, holding onto the railing with my left hand.
Since I jumped while turning my body from the beginning, I naturally turned toward the railing and swung the bone knife that I held short and grabbed No. 2 and Woo Jin-hwan, slashing the arms and necks of the two hanging zombies and crushing one zombie below. Landing safely on top of the stairs, I slashed all the zombies in a circle once again.

“Fuck… “

Rumble-

Bleeding as if a faucet had been turned on from the palm that had been cut by the bone knife held short to swing on the narrow stairs.
If you go through the door in the hallway next to it, there’s a high chance that these disappearing zombies won’t follow you, but you have to finish moving at once.

“Hey, anchovies! What floor?!”
“4th floor!!”
“4th floor? A few more to go down. I’ll leave you if you’re late, so catch up on your own.”
“Hey, wait! Take me too!!”
“The captain runs amok! Keep a reasonable distance and catch up!!”
“You bastard, get vaccinated first. I’ll break through here.”
“Hmm… Whatever.”

Kim Hyeon-joon, who came down the stairs full of zombie corpses, passed me and started swinging the iron bar in his hands at random.
It wasn’t that I was aiming at invisible zombies and wielding them, but the zombies who were hiding from the merciless sticking didn’t even approach me at all, and I was helpless, and rather, I pierced the path more easily than I did.
Should I prepare another weapon considering the narrow space?
It doesn’t matter if you fight with your bare hands, but I think it would be better to use a weapon to cover a little wider space like that… Well, it’s not urgent, so you should take your time.
By the way, obviously these are zombies.
Does that mean that zombies can evolve into mutants with new powers like these guys, rather than simply getting stronger physically?

“I’ll have to go back soon and let you know.”

The emergence of new zombies.
In the meantime, I thought that mutant zombies were only strengthened zombies that scream to form a group or protect the queen, but zombies continued to evolve, gaining new powers like humans gaining characteristics and raising their stats.
Of course, I don’t think all zombies will have this power, but the fact that this variant has been created means that variants with other powers can also appear.

Thud!! Thud!! Kwaaang!!!!

“Kyaaak!!”
“Aww!!”
“Everyone run away!!!”
“… Do shit If that’s the case, why are you carrying a weapon?”

When we arrived at the 4th floor and broke the closed door and went into the hallway, the people holding the weapons screamed and ran away without any intention to fight. Shout at the beaters

“It’s me, me! These people are not monsters, they are from the shelter!!”
“Ji, Mr. Jinhwan?”
“Mister!!”
“Older brother!!”
“Look at the change of attitude…”

People rushing in like never before.
However, people’s appearances are not really words.
Apart from being skinny enough to show his bones clearly like Woo Jin-hwan, a disgusting smell stung his nose, probably because he had never washed.

“Everyone, what about the others?!”
“What about Mr. Jeongsu?!”
“What happened to Hansoo, brother!”
“That is… “

Seeing Woo Jin-hwan lowering his head without being able to answer, the people who didn’t need an answer were saddened.

“It’s okay… Even if you don’t comfort me… “

Whiik-
Snap!!

Pulling his hand that was holding his shoulder, I turned Woo Jin-hwan, who was showing his back, and I grabbed his collar.

“Fuck the consolation..!!”
“Go, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“A girl group?! A beautiful announcer!!!”
“Yes..?”
“Weren’t we together?!”
“Isn’t it?”
“… Are you kidding?”
“I’m serious… Ahh!!!”

Iron flip!!

Grabbing him by the collar and throwing it backwards, I muttered as I looked down at Woo Jin-hwan, who collapsed on the floor and looked up at me with a surprised face.

“It’s anchovy poop.”
“Can I hit you?”
“Kill him.”
“Heh heh… I’ve been looking for you, you anchovy bastard. How dare you put a gun to my head?!”
“Cheuk!! Buy, save… Creepy!!!”

The tiny foot of No. 4 mercilessly trampled on Woo Jin-hwan’s skinny body.
The feet of No. 1 to No. 3, which I followed along saying it would be fun, are a bonus.

“Why are you doing this to me!!!! Creepy..!!”
