Chapter 18 – Not Him

It’s so terrible that it’s hard for me to see it properly, but I can’t help but go there.
Just look at the military helicopter.
If so, it means that the pilots who will be riding there are also soldiers, and if you are lucky, you can get a gun that is a weapon that is incomparable to a paroo like this.
Of course, it cannot be said that a gun is better than a paroo unconditionally.
A gun is a weapon that is accompanied by loud noises as much as it has terrifying destructive power.
Loud noises will naturally attract zombies, and if bullets run out there, you have to reload, so guns may not be suitable weapons for dealing with zombies.
However, there is no better weapon than a gun to deal with humans.
Basically, all humans, including me, have a fear of guns.

“I’ll have to deal with them first and then look for them.”
“Big..”
“Big..”
“Oooh!!”
“… Hey wake up How long are you going to stay like that?”
“Don’t touch me…! Come out again… Wow!!”
“Eh…”

I didn’t eat much, so why am I pouring out so much…
Well, even if you do that, you won’t die.
It’s not that there aren’t any, but unlike the first floor, there aren’t that many zombies on the second floor.

“Then shall we play?”
“Keah!!”
“Aaah!!”
“Me too!!”

Tadadat-
Wheeik!!!
Puff!!

Department stores are pretty good hunting grounds.
To the point where I want to open the door and invite the zombies inside.
An open space in all directions is an advantage for zombies, but it also provides an escape route for me to escape anywhere at any time.
The countless barricades, such as showcases and shelves for displaying goods, sofas and chairs for customers, and counters, are unconditionally working in my favor.
Of course, if you can’t use these geographic features, it will only get in the way.

Widely! Swish-

Hit the zombie’s head and jump over the showcase right next to it to avoid the zombies running back and forth unlike the hallway.

Thud!!

“Keah!!”
“Great!!”

Two zombies collided with a waist-high display case and came to a halt.
And already I’m turning around and swinging a paroo at them both.

Puff!!

Two zombies falling sideways with their heads bouncing off.
I’m sorry… Too bad.
Even if you defeat two of them like this, only one is left behind.
Is it because you lack strength? Or a weapon limit?
It would be nice to be able to kill a few of them with a single attack, no matter what.

“Whoa… Isn’t it?”
“Big..”

Puff!!

I turned around to the side of the display case and hit the zombie’s head on the floor. After looking around, I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.

“And… I’m really earning coins right here…”

I killed almost 60 zombies on the first floor alone, and a little over 10 zombies on the second floor.
Even if you simply acquired 2 coins for every 70 animals, it would be 140 coins.
If you include the zombies you killed while crossing the road, you can add another 20 coins, so 160 coins.

[Purchase Agility Lv.7 (120 coins).]
[The player’s information is updated.]

『Name: Kang Ha-jin (27)
Height: 183 cm Weight: 77 kg
Characteristic:-
Coins: 53
[Strength Lv.4] [Agility Lv.7] [Stamina Lv.3] [Luck Lv.1]』

Agility level 7, now you will definitely not be killed by zombies.
Unless you’re really surrounded by dozens of zombies with nowhere to run.
But the problem is that I invested a lot of stats only in agility…
Well, I haven’t had any problems so far, so it shouldn’t matter.
Of course, if I had increased my strength instead of focusing only on agility, I might have been able to kill two zombies at once in the same situation as a moment ago, and the power required to kill zombies is reduced compared to now. This might be easier.
But…

[Zombie Vaccine]-50 Coins

I’ve been raising my stats without leaving 50 coins to buy a zombie vaccine just in case.
That’s why making a nimble body that can’t be bitten or attacked by zombies was the most important point for me.
Now, it seems that I have succeeded in creating such a body.
Anyway, I can’t move anymore.

“Huh… Heo-eok…”

Bardle- Bardle- Bardle-

Just because you can easily kill zombies doesn’t mean fighting against zombies is easy.
Due to the stamina stat, which is only level 3, the hand holding the paru trembled and hit the limit of physical strength.
In fact, I should have rested more after dealing with the zombies on the first floor.
No, I had to spend the day on the first floor and move again tomorrow.
I should have…

“Wow!!”

Fuck, it’s because of Kim Min-seo, that bitch..!
Uh… I don’t even have the strength to get angry.
Let’s rest for a while.

Kakang! Kakang!
Dump-

Lying down on the cold glass display case with the baby slowly slipping out of my hand, I exhaled through my nose to calm my rough breathing. After about five minutes of rest, the shaking in my hands subsided.
That means it’s time to move again.

“Fuck, why do you have so much work to do? Ugh…”

Just like when I first went to the boxing gym to exercise, my body feels heavy and my bones ache as if someone is on my back.
Let’s just check there and really stop moving today.

Turd- turd- turd-

I drank a lot and moved my steps without strength as if I was on my way home. When I arrived at the helicopter, I reached out, grabbed the handle, put it down, and pulled it…

“I can’t even move..”

Whether it’s broken by being stuck in a building or it’s locked from the inside, the door really doesn’t budge no matter how much you pull on it.
Is it because I have no strength?

“Hey, come here.”
“That, there..?”
“… Do you really want to become useless to me?”
“Oh no! I’ll go now! Now… Woo-wook!!”
“… “

Kim Min-seo, who naturally knelt on the floor as if she was falling forward instead of running, began to vomit again, and I shook my head and checked the inside of the helicopter through the window.
Two pilots with their heads down wearing belts and helmets.
It was not a large helicopter like a transport helicopter or combat helicopter, but a small helicopter called 500MD, which is the most commonly seen, so there were no other people except for the two pilots.
Do you have a gun by the way? Don’t you have it?

“Ah, Mr..! What can’t you see?!”

Jump! Jump!

Usually, to check the waist side where the holster is worn, I hop like a rabbit and try to look inside while standing on tiptoe…

“Cheack!!!”
“Wow wow!!!”

Fuck, I almost fell!!
The pilot, whom I thought was behind, suddenly raised his head and stuck his dirty teeth at me.
Both too.
That’s why the helicopter crashed!
No, but how did they become zombies when there are only two of them inside?

“But… It is not a situation that explains why.”

There is only one thing I know of that causes people to turn into zombies.
Getting bitten by a zombie.
But if that was the only cause of becoming a zombie, the world wouldn’t have changed like this.
Because we were living well without zombies in the first place.
That is, it should not have happened that someone was bitten by a zombie and turned into a zombie.
But at some point, zombies appeared, and seeing that the water supply and electricity were cut off, it means that zombies appeared not only in Apgujeong-dong where I am, but also throughout Seoul and the entire Republic of Korea.
It is already the 8th day there, and the fact that there is no help from neighboring countries or the United States, which has a military agreement, means that the same phenomenon is happening not only in Korea but all over the world.
So there is no need to wonder about the root cause of such nonsense.
Because you won’t find out anyway.
If I thought about it with my head wrapped around my head alone, my head would only hurt.

“Are you okay, brother..? Ugh..!”
“Go away. Don’t come over here and throw up.”
“… I’m sorry.. Woowook..!!”
“If you’re going to do that, don’t look at me!!”
“I-I want to… It keeps snowing.. Uuk!!”
“Crazy bitch..”

Even as he vomits and vomits like that, he continues to glance at the corpse hanging like bunches of grapes.
I’m dirty too, so I’m not looking at it. Why the hell do you keep looking at me?
I really don’t understand.
Damn, I need to find a good woman and replace her with her.
Wait for a sec! Isn’t this the time for me to be so carefree?

Hurry up!!

I really don’t want to move, but I hurriedly ran and picked up the paroo I had dropped on the floor and looked around.
I don’t know when the guy who hung those people like bunches of grapes will attack me.
You can think that if you dropped the garbage that much, you could have gone somewhere else to kill other humans, but the entrance doors were firmly blocked with all kinds of furniture, and the supply warehouse I entered was also locked from the inside.
That means no one has gone out through the door or through the supply closet, and there’s a very good chance that there’s an asshole as crazy as me somewhere in this department store.
No, you should say he’s a crazier bastard than me.

“Then why is there no response?”

Not only the zombies, but I also screamed and made a lot of noise.
Then, of course, you must have noticed my presence at the noise that is louder than usual…
Are you hiding and waiting for an opportunity? Or am I accurately grasping my power? Or is it that you don’t have the confidence to fight me?
There are many speculations about the psychology or thoughts of the other person, but one thing is certain, regardless of what a crazier bastard than me is thinking.

“I feel dirty.”

I feel really dirty thinking that someone is secretly hiding and watching me.
Do celebrities who are being stalked feel this way?
Of course, I can’t be 100 percent certain that someone is watching me or that there’s someone in here, but just the thought of it made me feel really dirty.

Took-

Huh? What is this sound?
A small sound in my ears as I frowned at the rising discomfort.
I tilted my head and turned to where the sound came from, and there…

Kwak!!

“Cheer.. Coarse..!”
“Kko, don’t move!!”
“… “

Some crazy bastard is strangling Kim Min-seo with the cloth she is holding in both hands.

“Oh.. Oppa… Help me… Give me…”

Kwak!!

When he hears Min-seo Kim’s voice, the madman chokes his throat even more.
But where the hell is that kid…
Oh, was it there?
A helicopter angled forward.
The front side of the helicopter I looked into was tilted to the point where the body of the helicopter was in contact with the floor, but it was lifted towards the tail, so the back of the body was far enough away from the floor to allow a person to enter.
It’s hiding in a really unexpected place.
And he was really watching me.
So it made me feel so bad.

“Brother…”

Min-seo Kim’s voice and eyelids gradually lose their strength as she lifts her hands weakly toward me as if she is running out of time.
And I heard the voice of a crazy bastard.

“Drop your weapon!! Otherwise I will kill this woman… “
“Kill. She was contemplating whether to kill her or not.”
“… “
“… “
“You mean kill?”

My words opened the eyes of not only the crazy bastard, but also Kim Min-seo, whose eyes were gradually closing.
It’s still fine
No, it must have been because the hands of a crazy bastard who was taken aback by my words were slightly relaxed.

“My, you think I can’t kill you?! I will really kill you!!”
“Know. So kill me.”
“Such a crazy bastard..!!”

Kwak!!

“Chehehe..!!!”

A crazy bastard who pulls the cloth with force again.
And I ran towards him.

Come on!!

“Oh, don’t come!!”

Whii profit!!!

The Paroo falls towards the guy’s head without hesitation.
No, I slashed Kim Min-seo’s head down as if I was going to take it too.
OK.

“Ahh!!”

Snap!

The madman who pushed Kim Min-seo towards me turned around and started running away.

“Ouch!! Heck!! Kuck!!”

Pushed by the madman and held in my arms, Kim Min-seo started coughing and then bit my nipple.

Kwak!!

“Ah!!”
“Ughh!!!”
“Away!!”

Along with Kim Min-seo’s face, which I barely took off, my nipples almost fell off.
Aww, that fucking hurts!

“What is this?!”
“What are you doing!!”
“What am I?! You saved me!”
“I told you to kill me! Kill me!!”
“So you died?! You live!”
“Is that a word or fart, you bastard!!”

Grabbing Minseo Kim’s cheek as she slapped my chest with her girlish fists, I inserted her paroo into the bag she was carrying on her back and took out a bottle of mineral water.

“Rinse your mouth first. Do you want to eat zombie blood and become a zombie?”
“Ah!”

Widely!!

Neither I nor Kim Min-seo could confirm that eating zombie blood would turn me into a zombie, but there was nothing wrong with being careful, so I snatched the mineral water bottle from my hand and frantically rinsed Kim Min-seo’s mouth.

“Two! Tww tew tew!!”
“Did you brush your teeth if you were anxious?”
“I’ll do it! Mr..!!”

Kim Min-seo, who glared at me once with raised eyes, quickly took off the bag on her back and took out the toothpaste and toothbrush she had brought and started brushing her teeth.
Go down to the first floor… Are you running away? Or do you have other colleagues?
Well, since the chopper and I are blocking the other side, there’s no other way to escape.
But what do you keep talking about?

“Ueke gekkeaker!!”
“… What?”

Chica! Chica! Chica! Chica!

Kim Min-seo, who spat out an incomprehensible alien language, brushed her teeth in anger to make her gums tear…

“Grrrr!! Wow!! Gagging!! Wow!!!”
“Fuck, it’s hard…”
“How could that be!!”
“Oh, is that what you meant?”
“Say something! Did you really care if I died?! No! Were you really contemplating whether to kill me or not?!”
“Uh, you tried to climb all the way to the top of my head.”
“… Gee, are you serious?”
“Half. So keep the line. Don’t keep climbing up pretending to be close.”
“That’s my brother..!”
“What am I?”
“You acted like you were going to throw me away.. Because you were scared.. That’s why… I’m not afraid of my real brother, and I don’t hate him either… I was just surprised!”
“Under… So you bit your ass and lowered your panties and gave a damn? Are you afraid I will abandon you?”
“Yes…”

I finally understand the behavior of Kim Min-seo, who suddenly came to the department store and went crazy.
It’s like that in order to live.
Of course, I almost wanted to throw it away because the method was wrong.

“Don’t do anything like that in the future. If you just listen carefully, you won’t throw it away.”
“Yes, got it… But now what?”
“What?”
“That person… If he attacks again…”
“Don’t worry. Not him.”
“Yes?”
