Chapter 16 – To the Department Store

He even killed the last one he saved.
Because I didn’t have any other information than I knew.
Well, even if I gave you good information, I would have killed you.
Anyway, based on what he said before he died, I learned that there are quite a few survivors around here.
And the dead don’t seem to know, but I think we’ll get some new information.
Because the exclamation mark inside the circle that appeared after turning off the notification function is twinkling.

“Should I check it?”

When I press my finger on the exclamation mark in the lower right corner of my field of vision, the essential notification that it will be displayed at the bottom pops up in front of my eyes.

Kwak!!

“Yes!!”

After killing as many as four people, I unknowingly clenched my fists and cheered.
But what does it matter? Already killed
And the biggest purpose was to steal the weapon, but I can’t help but cheer because I actually got the bonus I was expecting just in case.
After all, in a world like this, you can’t help but kill, and you can’t have the benefits that accompany it.
Anyway, if someone does murder, they will know that they can steal their coin, and the person who knows that will not be able to stop killing.
The higher the stats of people, the more coins you collect, so if you kill people, you will be able to get a lot of coins that are incomparable to what you get by killing zombies.
I don’t know if that will happen either.
By the way…

“I need to wash up.”

His face and body were stained with blood from the people he killed.
Didn’t he just cut his throat with a Chinese sword?
No, would that have caused more blood to splatter?
I don’t know what happened to my body, but if I had been decapitated with a mid-slit, this store would definitely be in a mess.
At least more than now.
Then, let’s dispose of the corpse before washing it.
If you clean it up, it will get dirty again.
Ay, Mr! What do you have so much to do?

“Hey, come and help too.”
“… “
“What are you stupid about? It’s not the first time I’ve seen people die.”
“That, that… So…”
“Eh… “

I’m not crazy.
Not only me, but also Kim Min-seo saw two shoplifters die from being bitten by zombies.
He also said that he had seen other employees and several customers in the store die from zombie bites.
Still, the sight of me beating people to death with a bat must have been shocking to Kim Min-seo, and she is sitting on the floor in a state of fascination, unable to move.
Well, it’s a little different from being bitten by a zombie.
But isn’t there such a big difference that it makes me stupid?
Or am I a bit crazy for not feeling the difference?

Swoop-

I left Kim Min-seo, who was sitting stupidly, for now, and I grabbed the dead zombie’s legs and dragged him along, holding his head high and throwing the corpse at the zombies with his arms outstretched.
Like a keeper feeding them.

“Cheak!”
“Aaah!!”

Enemy! Enemy!
Kwadeuk!! Quadduk!!

“He eats well.”

After briefly watching the zombies frantically attacking and biting at the corpses, I dragged the rest of the corpses and dropped them outside, poured bottled water on someone desperately with a rolling pin I took from the bathroom, and started wiping the bloodstained floor.
If you need water, you can take a short walk to the convenience store in front of you.
However…

“Ah, sir! Why do I have to clean this up?!”

Realizing that my actions were foolish, I threw the stick I was holding onto the floor and shouted.
Then, in a hurry, he ran to where I was and picked up a rolling pin.

“I-I’ll do it!”
“Don’t do it.”
“No! I will do it! I’ll clean it up!”

A smile leaks out at the sight of Kim Min-seo, who suddenly starts pushing aggressively.
Because I know why
But I have to keep smiling… Why is my expression like this?
My face in the mirror is getting harder.
Why? Why? Why the hell
Contrary to the full of questions, a word that came out calmly.

“Are you afraid of me?”

Flinch!

Min-seo Kim, who flinched at my question, hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly turned to me and shook her head.
Very desperately.
Fuck, why are you denying it so violently?
Make people feel bad.

“No! Why are you scared of my brother?! I am not afraid at all!”
“… “

Not scary, damn.
While very tired of peeing.

“Really! I’m not really scared!”
“Then what is it?”
“What, what?”
“Look at the push.”
“… “

A rolling pin trembled by trembling hands.
Kim Min-seo tries to stop the trembling by holding her trembling right hand with her left hand, but she glances at me and starts to tremble not only her hands but also her whole body.
And I felt dirty again.

“Eh, why is this shaking..? I’m not afraid of my brother at all.. But really…”
“I do shit. Just say it’s scary When have you not been afraid of me?”
“… “

The trembling of Kim Min-seo, who blinked at my words, began to subside.
Come to think of it, there must have been hardly a time when I wasn’t scared.

“… I see. My brother used to be a scary person…”
“Now my true heart comes out.”
“Ah! No! This is not true!”
“Are you okay. It doesn’t matter if you’re scared No, it’s rather good. Because our relationship is just like that. Is not it?”

I don’t know what Kim Min-seo might be like at my words, but I wasn’t disappointed or disappointed at all.
At all… Never… Even as much as snow…
Shit! Why are you disappointed!!

“Fuck, I feel dirty.”
“… Brother..”
“Shut up.”
“… “

Yeah, to be honest, I’ve grown attached to them over the past few days.
It’s weird that I’m not feeling well.
If you beat rice cakes like you can’t live and die like that, but if you don’t like it, is that a person?
Fuck, maybe that’s why I feel sad and disappointed with Kim Min-seo, whose eyes and attitude toward me have changed.
It’s like having a monster right in front of you.
But that’s it. Any more emotions are a luxury.
Because I have to drop her for me and be available to her at any time.
We’re just there for each other out of necessity.
I can’t let my feelings deepen for this woman anymore.
Because of that, my judgment may be blurred and my ankles caught.
Then…

“I am going. Follow me or not, do as you please.”

If she has deep feelings for Kim Min-seo, she just needs to find another woman to replace her.
The number of times you mix your body decreases and when you know other women, your feelings that have deepened a little will become shallow, just like stagnant water will drain.

“Yes..? What do you mean?”
“Are you deaf? I’ll let you go if you want, so you can stay here or go somewhere else as you like.”
“Ah, why are you suddenly like that..? Is it because I’m scared? No! I’m not afraid of you at all! So don’t do that.. I’ll die without that brother..”
“Whatever. I live without you.”

It sounds like you are talking to me.
Be poisoned like the first time. Not to back down
So, let’s leave immediately after making up our mind.
But where are you going?
Two places immediately come to mind.
A department store with a helicopter stuck in it and a place where the people the dead man told you about are gathered.

“Hmm… I will go over there.”

After a very short thought, I decided on my next destination.
I decided to go to the department store across the street.
First of all, it’s good to hear from a nearby place.
Also, wear some clothes.
As well as luxury.

***

I bought 100 coins worth 6 levels of agility by adding the coins I already had to the 65 coins I obtained after killing you.

『Name: Kang Ha-jin (27)
Height: 183 cm Weight: 77 kg
Characteristic:-
Coins: 9
[Strength Lv.4] [Agility Lv.6] [Stamina Lv.3] [Luck Lv.1]』

Level 5 agility and level 4 strength had already been raised while Kim Min-seo set her stats to 2.
So now, unlike the beginning, my stats are 2 levels of strength, 4 levels of agility, and 1 level of physical strength.
However, nothing has changed as dramatically as the number that has risen.
I don’t know how far this stat will make me strong, but right now, I’d say it’s still beyond the limits of what humans can show.
The expression is a little ambiguous, but there is no particular comparison target.
Ah! To give one example, it can be said that when an attack comes in, you can move like the main character in an action movie who dodges and even counterattacks.
Like this.

Kugu Palace!

“Aaah!!”
“Keah!!”

One is hitting the roof of the car at 2 o’clock and flying her body at me, and one is running at me at 9 o’clock.
Then once.

Swoop-
Chin!

Using the hook part of the paroo held in his right hand, he hung the flying guy by the neck and pinned it to the floor, then stabbed the baseball bat in his left hand to the side and pushed the attacking guy’s chest away.
Then jump on top of the bonnet.

Kugu Palace!
Baek!!!

After kicking the guy below me in the face, I jumped forward and hit the paroo in my right hand with all my might.

Puff!!

I broke the top of my head and let go of Paru, who was about 7 cm long, and I swung the baseball bat I was holding with both hands.

Poop!!
Quick!!

As soon as I hit the head of the zombie that was attacking from the front, I stabbed the broken bat into the eyeball of the one that was attacking from the side.

“Brother!”
“… “

Kim Min-seo, carrying a bag, pulled out a paroo stuck in the zombie’s head and held it out to me.
Min-seo Kim is following me to the department store despite my words that he will let me go.
Even though I didn’t help them, they didn’t die and followed very well.
Well, there is nothing I can’t catch up with as I take care of everything like this and move while slowing down to a moderate speed.
By the way, it is a fact that we have already confirmed that the department store is locked.
That’s why you have to break down the door to get inside… Are you okay?
If the department store is full of zombies, it can be isolated…

“Brother, back!!”
“Don’t talk half-heartedly.”

Goofy- wheeik!!!
Puff!!!

Turning around, I swung the paroo I grabbed onto the zombie’s head and reached out behind Kim Min-seo’s back.

Snap!

“… What are you doing?”
“Aren’t you saying to hold hands..?”
“Have you come for a walk? Bat.”
“… Sorry..”

Kim Min-seo, who let go of my hand and held the baseball bat, the weapon she was using, took out a lunch knife from the bag she was carrying in front of her.
Since I have nothing to write about.

“Keah!!”
“Kyaaaaagh!!”

Chuck!!

“Ha..! Ha..! Ha..!”
“I have something to write about.”

Before I could even move, Min-seo Kim, who had pierced the forehead of a zombie rushing from the side with both hands, pulled out the sword from the collapsing zombie’s head and looked at me with wide eyes.

“What?”
“… Can’t you just give me a compliment?”
“I told you not to talk half-heartedly.”
“I’m talking to myself!”
“Don’t do it anyway.”
“Chi..!”

Looking at Minseo Kim, who bit her lower lip with frowning eyes, I slammed down the paru I held in my right hand.

Puff!!

“Ah…”
“Be quiet now.”
“… “

Min-seo Kim nodded furiously without answering.
And I lifted the bat he was holding in his left hand.

Wheeik!!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After mercilessly hitting the trunk of the car right next to it to lure the zombies, it started running around the car on the other side.
Of course, Kim Min-seo also quickly followed me.
Having safely crossed the road, I tried to swing the Paroo in my right hand toward the locked door.

“Brother!”

Dadadadak-dadadadak!!

Minseo Kim grabbed my wrist and started running.

“What are you doing?”
“If you go to the back, there is a side door! I’d rather open that door and go in than break that one!”
“Is it an iron gate?”
“Yes!”
“Are you open?”
“Locked… Maybe?”
“But how do I open it and get in?”
“If you break the handle, won’t it open? It opens like that when you watch a movie.”
“… “

Movies and reality are different.
Of course, since movies are made to reflect reality to some extent, there is a high possibility that the door will be opened by doing so…
The problem is not the front, which can be seen with the naked eye, but the behavior of Jung Min-seo, who recklessly drags me and runs despite how many zombies there might be behind.

“Hey, are you going there knowing how many zombies are behind you?”
“It won’t be like here… “

Widely!
Puff!!

While she was answering, I shook off Minseo Kim’s hand, ran forward, and hit the zombie’s head with a paru. I looked back at Minseo Kim and said,

“If there are a lot of zombies and it is difficult to escape, I will throw you away and I will run away.”
“… “
“And even if you act on your own again, I’ll throw it away.”
“Yes…”

In dangerous situations, including this situation, you must follow my control unconditionally.
It wouldn’t be unfair if I lost my life because of the decisions and choices I made, but if someone else died because of the choices I made, there wouldn’t be anything more unfair.
Still, it doesn’t seem like a bad choice.
When I turned the corner and came out to the back of the building, there were far fewer zombies than on the road side.
And since there is an apartment right behind it, it was very close to a place that would be the next best thing if you couldn’t get into the department store.
I won’t compliment you though.
If you give me a compliment for no reason, he’ll laugh again, and I think I’ll become more attached to him when I see him.

“Brother! It’s over there!”

Minseo Kim’s voice shattered my thoughts, and as she turned her head to follow her outstretched fingers, I saw the iron door she had spoken about.
Without delay, I ran up the stairs and hit the head of a wandering zombie.
Then he clung to the door, turned sideways, and slammed his raised right foot.

Poop!!
Tak – Tak – Tadadak –

A handle that comes off at once.
Looking at this, it seems that the power has become considerably stronger than it feels.
Well, it’s not that important right now.

Swoop-

I put my finger through the round hole in the handle that fell off and pulled the door open.

Rattle-

“Fuck! It won’t open!”
“Poke me, brother!”
“Poke what?!”
“Brother, you are good at it! Stick it in the hole!!”
“… “

Even if I have to say it..!
I don’t like the choice of words very much, but for now, let’s poke a hole in the back of the paroo as Minseo Kim tells us.

Kiik-

The door is open.
What is he Are you a thief?
Although Kim Min-seo’s identity became suspicious for a moment, she went inside the department store.
And…

“… “
“Kyaaaaak
