Chapter 45 – Skill Check

At this distance, there was no need to travel by helicopter.
It’s such a short distance that you can just walk.
Another zombie spawning ground was located less than 1km north of the War Memorial of Korea and the shelter.
It’s ironic that shelters and spawning grounds are located such close distance apart.
By the way, even though it was in such a close location, it was because of that zombie army that they moved in a helicopter filled with expensive oil using coins collected from people.

“What are so many of them?”

I am standing on the roof of the War Memorial of Korea.
No matter where you look around from here, all you see are zombies.
An uncountable number of real zombies.
In particular, the sight of zombies swarming in the wide War Memorial Square is so terrifying that you even get xenophobic.
Ooh, disgusting!

“How are you trying to find out my skills here? You’re not telling me to jump down and kill all those zombies, are you?”
“Of course. What you and we have to do today is to reduce the number of zombies as much as possible. And if possible, remove and capture the queen zombie, the owner of the spawning ground.”
“Queen Zombie? She has something like that?”
“Zombies are breeding. If so, there must be a clear medium. We call the monster that serves as the medium the Queen Zombie.”
“So you’re a monster you don’t even know exists?”
“… I couldn’t confirm it with my own eyes. However, it is definitely a monster that has no choice but to exist, and it is very likely that it will look different in appearance, so it will not be difficult to tell them apart.”
“Is that lady like that?”
“… “

Seeing Kim Hyun-joon not answering anything, I ate a bitter taste.
I don’t know what the ajumma really is, but these humans, who might be the only remaining soldiers in Seoul, are being driven by an unknown ajumma.
Well, if you’re a competent person, that’s fine.

“Is that the woman who blew up her leg and that we should reduce the zombies here?”
“… Yes.”
“The shelter’s breadwinner was that lady.”
“No. Our Commander… “
“It’s done. What is the identity of that lady? Is she a soldier Or what doctor?”
“Dr. Yeo Eun-jung is the best biology doctor in Korea. She is also famous worldwide. We are lucky to stay in Seoul for the conference… “
“You succeeded at a young age for a doctor.”

Kim Hyeon-joon is a pup who talks more than you think.
I interrupted him at the right time and held out my hand as if asking for a handshake.

“What?”
“Lend me 3 coins. And give me a weapon.”
“… “

Currently, my coin holdings are 257, I received 3 coins from Kim Hyun-jun and a dagger to use. After purchasing level 12 agility, I entered the building with Kim Hyun-jun and 4 soldiers.
There were 3 more soldiers excluding the helicopter pilot, but we decided to remain on the roof to protect the helicopter and secure our escape route in case of any emergency.

“The use of firearms is prohibited except in life-threatening situations. And they escape immediately after using the firearm.”
“How many times do you say the same thing? And why are you going so leisurely?”
“It is to minimize the sound so as not to attract the attention of zombies as much as possible. So don’t act too hastily.”
“Under… “

Minimize the sound so you don’t attract the attention of the zombies?
It’s funny and I can’t even say it.

“What is that smile?”
“You’ve never been to a spawning ground, have you?”
“… “
“Why do you think we were chased by zombies in that apartment? Because we’re crazy people, screaming and fighting there? No. We didn’t run into a single zombie in the apartment and headed straight to the rooftop. And I made a little noise, but I didn’t do anything to attract the attention of the zombies. But zombies started to flock to the apartment. Like a swarm of bees trying to protect a hive.”
“That means… “
“Uh, that means zombies will be coming soon here too.”
“… Why do you have to say that now?”
“You didn’t ask. And I thought you knew Talking like some kind of expert.”
“You..!”

A voice came from the walkie-talkie between his shoulder and chest as Kim Hyun-joon glared at me with his teeth gritting.

– Captain! Zombies in the square are getting into the building! And that’s not all! All the zombies in this area are converging here! Avoid immediately!
“Look, am I right?”
“Let’s go back and do it again…! Everyone goes back to the rooftop! Hurry!!”
“Are you just going to come all the way here? I can’t do that for the price of oil. I also want to check your skills.”

Just as Kim Hyun-jun wants to check my skills, I also want to check the skills of Kim Hyun-jun and the soldiers.
I wonder how strong the soldiers protecting the shelter will be.
Of course, he seems weaker than me.

Fu-wook! Chow!!!

I inserted the dagger into the cocoon-like egg next to me and swung it down, and Kim Hyun-jun grabbed me by the shoulder and turned me around.

“What are you doing? Would you have ordered us to go back to the roof?”
“Okay..”
“What are you doing? Coins or something to earn. Until they come.”

Fluffy!!

As if it wasn’t time to wake up yet, I stabbed the zombie’s head with a reciprocally held dagger and continued to split the egg next to it and start killing the zombie.

“You said you came to reduce the number? Help quickly And the helicopter just tells me to start it. Could it be that you guys are afraid of the things that are coming over there? Under… What kind of people are checking my skills… Uh…”

Perhaps in anger at the sight of me shaking my head and clicking my tongue, the soldiers pulled out their daggers and began tearing the eggs apart.
It is low compared to other buildings, but this building is not that low either.
Each floor has a very high floor height, so it will take some time for the zombies outside to come up here, and until then, you only have to deal with the guys on the 4th floor of this building.
That means you will have enough time to check each other’s skills while earning coins.

“Stand by so we can depart as soon as we arrive.”
-All right.
“If you disobey the next retreat order, then you will be left here alone.”
“Anyway. Instead, don’t whine because you’re too scared to go fast.”
“… “

After making a sarcasm at Kim Hyeon-jun, who was warning me after the radio call, I poked the zombie’s head in the egg and turned my head to the side.

“About 10 or so. Let’s treat 2 per person. I’ll bear a few more, so don’t be too scared. Then I go first.”

Tadadat-

Kim Hyeon-jun and the soldiers start running after me, who started running inside the museum, like a hallway wide enough for more than 10 zombies to run in a row.
And we and the zombies, who were closing the distance towards each other, soon clashed.

“Cheack!!!”
“Aaah!!”
“If it was a mace, it would be just one shot.”

Due to the nature of the dagger weapon, it cannot attack multiple zombies at once, but that is not a big problem.
It’s just a little annoying.

Tadat-
Kwajik!!

Jumping forward and hitting the chin of the zombie in front with my knee, I jumped out behind the crowd of zombies along with the guy who fell behind the zombies in a row. Plugged in
Then, as soon as I got up, I fell backwards slightly to avoid the zombies that attacked from the left and right, which were leaning forward.

“Keah!!”
“Okay, now it’s your turn.”

The guy who runs at me again after he’s been messing around in the air.
Perhaps it was to avenge the two that died in an instant, but they rushed at me even more fiercely, but that’s just a zombie.

Snap! Fire!!

I grabbed the guy’s right wrist, which was stretched out in front, and pulled it toward me, and the zombie’s body tilted toward me as if it were falling over. A dagger was thrust into the face.

Pooh!!!

The time it took to deal with 3 zombies with this was between 5 and 10 seconds.
No It wouldn’t have taken 10 seconds no matter how generously I caught it, so it would be correct to say that it was between 8 seconds.
But luckily I don’t see the monster I was dealing with.
I wanted to fight once to see how strong I had become by gaining new traits and increasing my agility.
Anyway, they aren’t too bad either.

“Keah!!”
“Aaah!!”

Pooh!!
Hook!!

One by one, the soldiers started putting daggers into the zombies’ heads.
And Kim Hyeon-jun has just started moving his share of two zombies to help his men.
While I was watching the soldiers fight, I heard heavy footsteps behind me, different from those of ordinary zombies.
Who is this guy?

“Big!!!”
“Why is it you? I like him better than you.”

Thump thump thump!!

The guy running towards me with a scream and loud footsteps is the same monster I killed at the shelter.
It’s easier to deal with than the monster I first dealt with, but it should be enough to understand the soldiers’ skills.

“Captain Kim! Stop playing with the small fish and take care of him. If you can’t do it alone, you can do it with your subordinates.”
“… “
“Why? I killed him alone, so 5 people aren’t enough? Then shoot the gun It’s because you just have to catch him and fall. Oh, if they’re going to make excuses… “

Tadadat-
Snap!

I ran towards the soldier who seemed most at risk, reached out my left hand, grabbed the back of the zombie’s head, and slammed it on the floor.

Kwajik!!!

A zombie that stretches its body with a terrible sound.
It looks like he’s already dead, but it’s better to be certain, so I stuck my dagger into the back of the dead zombie’s head, and I stood up and pointed at the back with my thumb.
The back where the Hulk-like monster is running.

“Don’t be afraid, fight. If it looks like it’s going to be lost, I’ll save it.”
“You’re cheeky.”
“Captain!!”
“We are going too!”

Kim Hyun-joon, who spat out a word and started running towards the monster, and the soldiers who had dealt with their share of zombies began to follow one by one.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”
“Go, go!”

Finally, the soldier I helped ran towards the monster, and a 5-on-1 fight between the soldier and the monster began.

Hooked! Chow!!

And in the meantime, I checked the location of the zombie corps running up the stairs under the railing, cutting through the zombie eggs scattered around here.

“A minute or so is the limit.”

I checked before coming here, but helicopters aren’t just floating in the air.
Since the take-off time is not as fast as expected, it is necessary to depart earlier than expected to prevent the zombies from flying and clinging to the helicopter.

“Just wait another 30 seconds~ After that, I will kill you~”

Hook!!

After notifying the time limit by poking eggs, I began to see the soldiers’ skills with my own eyes.

“Big!!!”

Coo!!!

Kim Hyeon-joon burrows into his arms while avoiding the monster’s fist that is slammed into the floor.
Certainly that guy is stronger than the other soldiers.
It’s all I’ve dealt with briefly when I took him hostage, but his strength is probably lower than mine, so he’s 8 or less.
If it’s 8, it’s the same as me, but because I have characteristics.
And agility… That should be enough for level 10.
In a way, it can be seen that the stats are similar to the dead Jung Woo-bin, but one thing is certain: Kim Hyun-jun fights much better than Jung Woo-bin.
After all, special forces are different.

Fluffy!! Chew!!

The dagger was quickly inserted into the side of the monster, and blood spurted out as the dagger slashed.

“Back off! One attack could cost you your life.”
“Captain! Just a gun… “

As soon as a soldier’s mouth drops, Kim Hyun-joon pulls out a pistol from his waist.
They said that was an empty magazine!

Bang bang bang!!

A monster with arms that cross its face with a fire-breathing muzzle.
And in the gap, Kim Hyun-jun’s pistol, which had been sliding across the floor with his body that created momentum, fired again.
Aiming for the gap underneath that the zombie’s arms couldn’t cover.

“Big!!!”
“He’s not dead.”

Blood was dripping from his chin, but the monster, who was still intact enough to scream, saw Kim Hyeon-jun passing through his crotch, and immediately turned around and cut his right foot down.

Coo!!!

“Captain!!”
“No!!”

Are those babies blind?
Why are you screaming and fucking when you see a guy who evaded well?
Contrary to the urgent cries of the soldiers, Kim Hyeon-joon rolled his body quickly to avoid the monster’s foot, and then raised his gun to his face. At the same time, the monster covered his face with his right arm, blocking his own vision.

Tadat-
Pooh!!!

In that gap, Kim Hyun-joon stood up, pulled out his pistol, and put the dagger he had passed over with his left hand into the monster’s knee. Kim Hyeon-joon stepped back to avoid the monster’s attack, which swung his right arm down, which was still covering his face, and the monster’s left fist fell one after another. Got off
Of course, it didn’t reach Kim Hyeon-jun, who stepped back while stepping back again.
And at that moment, the time limit I announced had all passed.

Tadada dat-

Perhaps hearing my footsteps running fast, the monster twisted its body to attack me from the 5 o’clock direction and swung its right fist, and I spurred the ground and jumped up.

Whoa!!!!

With a heavy sound, the monster’s left fist was thrown at me, which jumped over the fist that cut through the air, and my right foot, twisting and swinging in the air, collided.
To be precise, it would be accurate to say that I kicked the side of the flying monster’s fist with a kick back.

Puck!!!

My body flew sideways at the recoil and the monster’s fist bounced sideways.
And gunshots roar.

Tatatatang!!!

The monster’s head tilted sideways with the sound of gunfire, and the heavy body collapsed along with the blood running down its cheeks and neck, and I gnashed my teeth at the sight.
Fuck, I tried to kill you!
Well, with this, 3 coins and a weapon can be borrowed.
Anyway, the skills of the soldiers were confirmed very well.
Those soldiers are similar to or slightly stronger than Minseo but Kwonju, and Kim Hyeonjun is definitely on a different level.
Looking at his fighting sense, he might become stronger than me if his stats were supported.
Hmm… Then it’s dangerous…
Shall we create a chance next time and kill it outright?
Anyway, having someone stronger than me is a risk factor for me.
