Chapter 6 – Convenience Store

Cars filling the road, red flames and black smoke rising from everywhere.
There are even fighter jets embedded in tall buildings that can be seen far away.
What the fuck, what kind of 9/11?
Lost for words at the sight in front of me, I inadvertently turned my head to the side.

“Fuck, surprise!”

I’ve never been inside, but a helicopter is also holed up in a department store building full of luxury brands.
What is this, it’s just a battlefield?!
No, the middle of Seoul became like this because of stupid zombies who don’t care much? Are you kidding!
Why are fighter planes and helicopters flying in the sky stuck in buildings?!
I don’t know what happened on the surface during the day I was in the underworld, but one thing is certain.

“It’s crazy..”

The world has gone mad.
And maybe I’m the only survivor in this crazy world.
What I see…

“Ahh..”
“Geuh..”

It’s just zombies, not living people.

Thump thump thump!!

No There are people alive.

“Here you go! There are people here!”

In a car parked on the side of the road, a man knocks on the closed window to announce his presence and shouts loudly.
But what do you mean?

Thump thump thump!!

“There are people here!!”
“… “

I’m seeing what’s there too, this man.
And if you were like me, no matter how much you were, I wouldn’t have acted like that.

“Keah!!”
“Aaah!!”

Even if the window is closed, if you knock and shout like that, you can’t help but attract the attention of the zombies, as if you could hear it in your own ears.
So I quietly turned around watching the zombies rushing towards the car.
I’m not completely indifferent to other people’s affairs, but I’m not in a relaxed situation right now to be interested in other people’s affairs.
No, I have no interest in other people’s affairs anymore.
I just think about surviving.
But when I turned around, our eyes met.
Zombies and…

“Big..! Big..! Big..!”

What? I didn’t make a sound, so why do you think you’re staring at me?
If I don’t make a sound, zombies won’t be able to recognize my existence.
That’s because I checked it several times.
But why is he staring at me and gasping!
Ah! Are you staring at the car behind me like the other zombies?

Swoop-

I carefully bent my knees and crouched down to see where his gaze was heading.

Swoop-

The zombie’s face follows my movements.
Ah, please

Swoop-

This time I moved my body to the left, but this time too the zombie turned its head to follow me and did the same when I moved to the other side.
Fuck… Does that bastard see eyes?!

“Aaah!!”
“Oh, Mr..!”

A zombie running towards me waving her arms with a scream.
I jumped up and instead of a swollen fist, I swung the lower part of my palm that was connected to my wrist and hit the zombie’s cheek.
Actually, I was trying to hit him in the temple.

Puck!!
Tuduk-

A zombie that falls on its side with its body stretched out like a tree with its pole cut off.
All you have to do is knock it down, whether it’s a temple or a cheek plucker.
But the problem is…

“Aaah!!”
“Keah!!”

The other zombies noticed my presence because of the zombie kid that ran towards me.

“Fuck!!”

Tadat-

Jumping over the zombies in front of me and running, I ran towards the department store building where the helicopter was embedded, and in an instant jumped up the few steps and pushed the department store door as hard as I could.

Hairy!!

Locked
Holy shit!
I hurriedly moved to the side and pushed the other door, but…

Rattle!!

Locked again
Holy shit!
So while I wasted my time at the locked door.

Come on!!
Come on!!

The zombies followed me up a few steps, and I quickly turned to the side and started running like crazy.
However, after running for a while, I jumped into the flower bed right next to it, and immediately jumped with my hand on the railing.

Tadak-

Unlike me who landed safely on the floor, the zombies were caught on the railing and collapsed onto the road that was as high as the stairs.
But where should I go now?
While contemplating for about five blinks, I saw a convenience store.
Yes, food security is a priority in Apocalypse.
Of course, you can pay coins and buy them at the store, but you need to minimize the amount of coins you spend.
That way you can raise your stats and buy weapons.
But the problem is… It means that a wide eight-lane road crosses between me and the convenience store right now.

“Fuck..! There’s nowhere else to go anyway!”

It is about 40 to 50 meters to the convenience store, and even if it looks far to the eye, you can arrive within 10 seconds.
Unless you die

Tadadat-

So I jumped into the road and started running like crazy.
Whether or not the door is locked like a department store, crossing the street is the best option for me.
Even if it’s not a convenience store, if you go into an alley full of shopping malls, there will be one with an open door.
Or really… It’s like a dog situation.
But there are more people alive than you think?
It is not uncommon for me to find myself staring at me from cars passing by on either side of me.
Of course, zombies look so many that they can’t even compare to him.

Come on!!
Koo-kung-kung!

The guys running through the cars and attacking me, the guys jumping on top of the cars and throwing themselves at me.
Even the guys chasing after me and the guys running towards me.
Fuck..! I’m so impatient that you can’t catch me!
Do you think I’ll be eaten like this?!

Wheeik!!!
Kwaji Jik!!!

Perhaps thanks to the added acceleration of my right foot, the driver’s side window creaked white and folded inside in just one shot.
But why kick a car window and not a zombie?
There is a reason for everything.

“What are you doing?!”
“Sorry. Because I have to live.”
“Such a crazy bastard..!”

Kwajik!!

“Ahh!!”

I pushed the car glass inside once more, which crumpled like paper instead of breaking like glass, hurriedly pulled my foot out and started running around the car.
And behind my back

“Uh, aaaaa!!!”
“Aaah!!”
“Keah!!”
“Kuaa!!”

The screams of the driver who made a noble sacrifice in my place rang out.
R.I.P.
Rest well.
I will go to heaven i’m going to hell
So, with the help of a good driver, I was able to get rid of quite a few zombies, and now I decided to go through the remaining ordeal on my own.

Coo goong-

“Keah!!”

A zombie flying at me from the roof of a car.
I slipped back and grabbed the zombie’s arm stretched out in the air and pulled it to the side. Instead of flying far away, his friend jumped from the side and grabbed my collar and shoulders.
Of course, I also respond to him.

Dope- Kwajik!!!

I grabbed the side of my hair and put it through the window of the car in front of me.

Kwajik! Kwajik!!
Wow Jangchang!!

After taking two more shots like that, the zombie’s body collapsed downward as the hands that had been gripping the neck and shoulders were released, and I put my hand through the window where the driver’s side window was completely smashed unlike before, perhaps because it was a little old domestic compact car. Put in
Then I pressed the middle of the steering wheel hard.

Baaaaa!!!

I did something crazy by honking my horn and calling all the zombies farther away, then I turned around and ran away from the car as much as I could.
And to my madness, everyone ran towards the honked car except for the guys who heard my footsteps and followed me really close.
Fuck, now it’s really all over!
Just cross two lanes!

Kugoong- Sueueuu-

I crossed a lane while sliding on the bonnet like a main character in a movie.

“Keah!!”
“What the hell!”

Poop!!

Falling down and kicking the zombie’s chest, I finally stepped onto the sidewalk on the other side.
Fuck, I’m so thrilled!
But it’s still too early to indulge in sentiment.

Poof!

I quickly ran to the building in front of me, turned to the right, reached out my left arm, pushed the doors of the mall one by one, and ran towards the convenience store.
However…

“Wow! Damn, that’s crazy!!”
“Wheeik!!”
“Here you go! Here! There are people here!!”
“Save me!!”

People’s voices resonate here and there to see how many people have survived.
Yeah, it doesn’t make sense that everyone is dying from these stupid zombies.
But didn’t you see what I did? How can you ask me to save you?
I was suspicious of the voice behind me, but for now I focused all my attention on my left hand pushing the door of the convenience store inward.

Swoop-

Open!
Without thinking, I stopped my running legs and ran into the convenience store. I immediately turned around and turned the lock at the top while holding the wobbly door.

Click!!

A sense of relief at the sound of a door locking.
But, at the same time, anxiety crept in.
Can this sturdy looking door hold out against the zombies?
It’s absolutely impossible
It’s still like this.

Thump thump!!
Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!

The zombies who came after me knocked on the door and pushed it with their bodies.
Naughty pups.

Snap! Deuuuuu!!
Do-doo-duduk!!

There was a loud noise and the items on display were pouring in all directions, but I didn’t care and pulled the display case and blocked the door.
I was anxious about that too, so I added my own weight and sat with my back to the display case.

“Whew… I passed the hangobi for now.”

Literally passed the hangobi.
If the world is like this, my survival will begin from now on.

“Information confirmation.”

『Name: Kang Ha-jin (27)
Height: 183 cm Weight: 79 kg
Characteristic:-
Coins: 13
[Strength Lv.2] [Agility Lv.3] [Stamina Lv.2] [Luck Lv.1]』

My stats have changed since the beginning.
It’s only that agility has increased by one level, but thanks to this, I was able to come this far.
Although it’s a bit unfortunate that I only raised one stat during the 27 hours I was in the underworld.

“Shop, stats.”

[Strength Lv.2] -20 Coins
[Strength Lv.3] -40 Coins
[Strength Lv.4] -60 Coins
[Strength Lv.5]-80 Coins

Stats listed all the way from level 2 to level 100.
The level 3 agility I bought cost 40 coins.
For the price you could buy almost 6 hoes.
However, I bought 3 bottles of water and 3 pieces of bread to eat.
However, the fact that there are still 13 coins left means that the coins I have acquired so far are 75 coins.
There are those who give 1 coin each, but there are also those who sometimes give 3 coins, so if you just calculate the average value as 2 coins, you caught 37.5 zombies.

“Fuck, I killed a lot.”

But this isn’t enough.
You have to kill more zombies.
As a result of the direct experience of bumping into it, it seems that agility must be at least level 5 to be able to hunt safely to some extent.
In addition, there must be a weapon that can break or pierce the zombie’s head at once.
This is something I found out while trapped in the underworld, but as is commonly believed, zombies must attack her head to die.
Although, of course, if you break her neck, you will die.

Growl-

“This bastard is begging for food all day long. Is it because you move your body a lot?”

Then think about it later and fill your stomach first.
Shouldn’t we eat the perishables first?

“Hmm.. Did the electricity go out at all?”

Refrigerators that are supposed to release cold air to keep food longer have stopped working.
Of course, the microwave and TV are also dead.
I’ll blow half of this.
Triangular gimbap, sandwiches, hamburgers, lunch boxes, and even some cooked frozen foods.
If the refrigerator doesn’t work, it’s full of food that can’t last for several days.
No, maybe it’s already spoiled.
The lights have been off since I got stuck in the subway cockpit, so it’s been kept at room temperature for almost a day.

Ji-Ik-
Snap!
Well-well-

“For now, this is fine.”

Once I put the triangular gimbap on the shelf again, I took a bite out of the sandwich and nodded in good condition as I was about to reach out for the lunch box.

“… “

The woman’s eyes met.
Of course, I didn’t mean that there was a woman in the convenience store, but through the glass wall, I made eye contact with the woman on the second floor of the building across the alley.
Yes, in a world like this, a woman who can soothe loneliness is essential.
Besides, her face seems pretty pretty too.
Looking at the mannequins wearing clothes inside the show window, it looks like a clothing store, so the style is pretty good.
I don’t know if it’s an employee or a guest.
Shall we see if that woman can soothe my loneliness?

Swoop-

I stretched out her right hand to the side and moved the lunchbox she was holding, and in response, the woman’s face turned slightly to the side and her eyes moved to follow the lunchbox.
Yet again.

Swoop-

I pass the lunch box to her left hand and stretch her left arm out to the side. Again, the woman’s face turns to the side and her eyes follow her.

Swish-

This time, as I hid the lunch box behind her back, the woman pressed her body against the glass window that was made of her canister and stared at my face pitifully.
He has good eyesight, and it was close enough that his nose could touch the building opposite if it was tipped over, so there was no problem checking his expression.

Hehe…”

The sound of my laughter coming out of something sinister.
As I lean forward towards the woman and tilt her head as if to hand her a lunch box, she nods vigorously as if she understands my actions at once.
He wants the lunchbox in my hand.
But you can’t give it away for free.
And to deliver this, she’s not coming here, I’ll have to go.
Shall we just take this much as a contract fee?
I then check the angle the woman can see well.

Swoop-

She put her right foot forward and pulled her dress pants up to her knee.
Then the woman crumpled her face.
What? Have you been aware of it until now and misinterpreted my signals?
I pointed at the woman who was crumpling her face, pointed at her leg with my outstretched index finger, and then pulled up my suit trousers once more.
Then he pointed his finger at the woman again.

“Looks like you understand now. Do it faster.”

A woman wiggling her hands together in front while making a puzzled expression.
It was as if the plaintive staring at me was telling me not to, but it had no effect on me, perhaps because I had acclimatized too quickly to this world.
If you want to eat a packed lunch, pull up your skirt. I had no intention of retracting my condition.

“Ha.. Hold on, right?”

Seeing the woman still wriggling only her fingers, the desire to compete was triggered for no reason, so I lifted the lunch box I had put down and shrugged her shoulders.

Chuck!!

I raised my stop.
Like this dog… !
