Chapter 64 – Promises Should Be Kept (1)

“There are a total of 9 types of monsters that have appeared so far. However, the monster created by Dr. Yeo Eun-jung, who died, was not included.”

After finishing his speech, Kim Ji-hoon steps aside and shows a white board with letters written on it.

As I wrote it down, there are a lot of different types.
Except for Queen Zombie, Biter, and Eater, the rest is the same rice with the herb.
But what else is ether?

“Why are pigs eater? Did you build it?”
“Yes, don’t you think there’s something more to it than just calling it a pig? And since we are in a meeting, please use respectful words.”
“It sucks.”

Kim Ji-hoon, who was staring at me with a slight frown on his face, turned his head toward the people again and continued his words.

“The figures you see now are only approximate. It could be stronger than this, and it will be stronger in the future. And I think stronger monsters will also appear.”
“Stop talking nonsense. So what do you want to say?”
“You’re trying to do it now..! Please do not intervene..! Whoa… Then we will continue. Excluding women and some people who haven’t hunted in the meantime, the average stat level of the shelter is close to 9. If this continues, the shelter will continue to be safe. However, the problem is that it is not enough to continue to supply and demand coins as it is now.”
“Why do you say it is not enough?”

Aside from Kim Ji-hoon and me, among the people gathered in the conference room, someone else spoke out for the first time.
The main character is Choi Ho-il of the Citizens’ Union.
That stupid man probably didn’t even go to elementary school.
Why are you the only one who doesn’t know the obvious?

“As the stat level increases, more coins are needed to create higher levels. However, with the current level of supply and demand, the stats will rise much more slowly than ever. Then the gap with the zombies, who are getting stronger, will narrow, and the monsters that are still difficult to deal with will become more difficult to deal with. Moreover, not to mention the more terrifying monsters to come.”
“Ah…”

Choi Ho-il nodded with a stupid face as if he finally understood.
The Citizens’ Union is also very pitiful.
That kind of person is sitting here as a representative.

“So killing the zombie queen made things worse?”
“What’s up?”
“… “
“Kuhm..! That’s not it.”

Ho-Il Choi bit his mouth tightly as if he was embarrassed by the sound of Chu-im that jumped out without even realizing it, and Ji-Hoon Kim quickly cleared his throat and continued his words.

“Leaving the queen’s nest around the shelter would be dangerous, so it’s right to get rid of it. But what I want to say now is that it will not be enough to hunt only the zombies that flow around the shelter from now on.”
“But if you leave the shelter area, everyone who was hunting could die in case of emergency. You can’t always follow Ha Jin, the captain, and the guards.”

Isn’t he really Korean? He seems to speak better than Choi Ho-il.
At the words of Camilla, a Brazilian-American with tanned skin, Kim Ji-hoon stares at Kim Hyun-jun, who is sitting still like a nobleman.

“You have to take some risk. Me, Kang Ha-jin, and the guards also have to keep hunting and getting stronger, so we can’t move with only people’s safety in mind.”
“Oh~ Now that I’ve taken off my military uniform, I’m thinking a little smarter. He’s right. If you want to survive, you have to survive yourself. How much do you want for only 10 coins a day? Just being able to sleep safely and worry-free in a shelter for 10 coins is enough.”
“Sense duck..?”
“You should be very grateful.”
“Ah… “

The total number of people in the evacuation center, including myself, is 609.
Although the number of people has been drastically reduced due to the deaths of all but 47 American soldiers and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which has been reduced by more than half, there are still jaw-dropping people living in the shelters.
And the coins they walk a day are 6090 coins.
No, it’s 6080 coins because I’m not paying.
If you add 51 guards, including Kim Hyeon-joon, the head of the coin, and 5 nurses, including Yeo Eun-jung’s younger sister and doctor Yeo Min-jung and a fellow doctor, a total of 58 people.
If you divide 6080 coins among 58 people, it is about 105 coins.
However, it costs more than 3,000 coins a day, especially for a generator that is a coin-eating machine, new exterior wall construction, and various seemingly useless things.
Then, the number of coins the guards eat per person per day is about 50 coins.
Due to the vigilant duty of standing day and night, it is not enough to compensate for being on duty when others are hunting, hunting when others are resting, and rubbing sleepy eyes while others are sleeping.
Of course, people also hunt and participate in the construction of the exterior walls, but the only thing the guards ask for more is that they really rescued people from drowning, so give them their bundles.

“This is a recommendation, but it must be done. The power of the shelter does not come from Ha-jin Kang, the leader, and our guards, but rather the power created by more than 600 people. So, please go back and tell me well.”
“We don’t have to worry. There have been complaints about the lack of prey these days.”

Major Park Jun-mo, who once ate a pot of rice, is in charge of the former soldiers’ association, which was created after Kim Hyun-joon said to disband the army.
I don’t think it’s good to keep dividing factions like this, but in order to manage this many people, I have no choice but to divide people into groups like this and have their representative manage them.

“Then, this morning’s meeting will end with this. And for now, please continue hunting around the shelter until today. We will check if there is a suitable hunting ground and then let you know.”

At Kim Ji-hoon’s words, Camilla, Choi Ho-il, and Park Jun-mo also got up from their seats and left the meeting room.
Although I still stayed because of Kim Hyun-joon holding his arm tightly.

“Hey, do you like me? Why are you holding on to this?”
“You check the side of Yongsan Station. We will check Noksapyeong Station and, if possible, check it all the way to Itaewon Station before coming back.”
“Why me?”
“500 coins.”
“… Will you give it now?”
“Of course.”
“Okay.”

If it’s 500 coins, it’s real honey.
I have to go hunting anyway, but it’s a job that I have to go back and forth.

“Instead, Samgak area and Ichon station are included. Today, just doing Yongsan Station is fine.”
“500 coins for 3? Don’t like it, don’t The balance calculation doesn’t match.”
“Request.”
“Hyung, do something~ I’m going hunting anyway, and I’m going back. And it’s not difficult for you.”
“Am I too scared to go alone? What if the smoking high school students called me to steal money? Ugh~ Just thinking about it makes my hamstrings numb.”
“Oh really..!”
“Then you will also be included in the exterior wall work in the future. It’s for everyone, and it’s not fair that only you fall for it.”
“Do you think I will?”
“Oh, and we should also include Minseo and Juha. Because you are getting benefits for no reason. If you make it different from you, I’ll listen to what you say.”
“Huh! So what now? I hunt and participate in construction, and now I’m tired at night, so I’m going to fall asleep right away~”
“These despicable bastards are real..!!”
“If there are biters or eaters, kill them all and come. If there is a zombie queen, figure out its location. As for the progress report, Ji-hoon will visit you in the evening, so you can let us know then.”

Without even listening to my answer, Kim Hyun-jun, who handed over 500 coins through the hand he reluctantly grabbed, left the meeting room with Kim Ji-hoon.
If it’s something I have to do anyway, it’s better to finish it quickly and in a good mood.
And they split their wages the size of rat poop they received and received coins several times the wages.

“Wait.”

When I come out of the building, Camilla, who has been waiting at the entrance, blocks my way.
What? Now that you’re done organizing your mind, are you going to do it once?

“Why? I want to?”
“It’s not like that…! Ha… You said you were going to Yongsan Station?”
“Uh, what about it?”
“We are going too.”
“We?”
“With our people.”
“Are you going with me that year?”
“Yes, Diana too.”
“No.”
“It’s not a difficult request.”
“Whether it is easy or difficult, it is my heart that grants you a favor. Not your heart I’ll think about it if I leave out that bitch, so if you’re not going to do it once, just go.”

Seeing me flicking her wrist to get rid of her flies, Camilla, frowning, blocks me from going back to her side.

“In the first place, there were two more women! If you can even touch me at will, isn’t that enough?! How many people do you have to hug to be satisfied!”
“Do you know that it’s more or less good? It means the more the better. So it’s good if there are many girls~ And you haven’t done it once since then! Now stop making excuses for daddy, and I’m going to do it once tonight, so wash up and get ready.”
“Trash…”

First of all, since my dad died, I haven’t touched him in the meantime.
Because I need time to clear my mind.
But giving it this much time is not enough.
Seeing him go hunting with people, it seems like he’s gotten better.
But wait a minute. You want to follow me to Yongsan Station?
Until the year without that case?

“Heh heh… “
“What, what is it..? What are you thinking right now!! I won’t give you any strange requests!”
“Who said what? You said you wanted to follow me to Yongsan Station, right?”
“… Yes…”
“Then let’s go with just you and that bitch. It’s hard for me to care if there are a lot of people. You can’t just follow and die, can you?”
“Okay…But why did you suddenly change your mind… Come on, don’t be afraid to stop there by force..!!”
“Don’t do that. Am I a sex offender? Rape someone you don’t like?”
“… Really?”
“Really.”

Of course I wouldn’t do anything like rape.
It’s something you can do if you know how to do it.

“But why are you following us to Yongsan Station?”
“I gave you rough numbers today, but I was curious about how strong the biter is. I also want to see what level I am now.”
“Hmm… That’s a really useless reason. See you at the west post in 30 minutes. I’m taking just you and Diana.”
“All right.”

After returning home like that, I ate a late breakfast with Minseo and Juha, who had been waiting for me, and then took a mace that I had cleaned and headed for the western guard post.
How hard it must have been to stop the kids from following me saying they would go with me…
Anyway, as I had planned, the road to Yongsan Station was only for me, Camilla, and Diana.

“You came early. Shall we go then?”
“Yes.”
“… “

I started to leave the shelter and head towards Yongsan Station, trying to avoid Deanna’s stare at me with suspicion and contempt.
Wait, I’ll find out somehow and make you scream for a fuck.

“There are so many villas here. Are all the people who used to live here now in shelters?”
“He said that many people died here too. It was only a few tens of meters to the shelter, but just walking that distance was hell.”
“Hmm… It doesn’t.”
“But how did it end up like this?”
“God knows that? But are you tall?”
“Aagh!!!”

Awesome!!

The zombie’s neck, which was cut off by the swinging knife, rises into the air as it spins.
She’s talking normally with me now, but Camilla is on top of a car dealing with zombies swarming in a narrow alleyway.
Of course, with Diana, who is standing on her back.

“By the way, what have you been doing since then?”
“Oh, I was looking for something. Looks like it’s not here Then let’s go.”
“Big… “

Huung- Kwajik!!!
Do-doo-duduk!!!

Zombies hit by the swinging mace flew backwards, knocking down other zombies like bowling pins and creating a path.
Well, it’s possible because the zombies swarming in are ridiculously less than when I just arrived at the shelter.
Shouldn’t you catch and breed even a queen zombie to live on?
Like raising livestock?
I was worried for a while because I could see that the number of zombies roaming around the shelter was decreasing day by day, but I don’t think I need to worry about that for the time being.

“Aaah… “
“Turn it off… “
“Cheak!”
“Aaah!!”
“Ugh… “

After passing through the alley and arriving at a building located on the side of the road, about 350 meters away from the western outer wall of the shelter, I looked down and saw that a truly enormous number of zombies were filling the road.
Now, not people who became zombies called mutators, but real zombies.

“Wow…You don’t have to go that far.”
“How many zombie queens are there around here?”

If this is not enough, I think there will be more than 10 of them.
But it’s not the prey that’s the problem, it’s so many that you can’t hunt?
I think I can lure them in little by little and catch them, but what if I make a mistake and all these zombies follow me?
It’s an outer wall, it’s naked, and it’s a number that collapses right away.
You can see that I’m not exaggerating at all when I see the bus stop in the middle of the road and all the guard rails collapsed.

“Camila!”
“Huh? Uh?! Hey!”
“Heh heh… I was there~”

Along with Diana’s urgent cry, where Camilla and I were looking, a biter was prowling around, crushing and trampling zombies like a bulldozer.
And after a while

“Khehehehehe!!!”
“Oh, no!! Go help me!!”
“What are you doing? Help me! Help me!”
“Bare mouth? Eh, don’t you like it?”
“You said you would take care of it!!”
“I only did it to you, I never made a promise to him directly.”
“… “

Camilla turns her head to look up at my face, clutched by the waist as if looking at a madman.

“What are you looking at? I am doing the same thing as him.”
“It’s crazy… Is this when you’re talking like that?! Please save me quickly!!!”
“Translate. If you promise to keep your promise first, then I will keep your promise.”
“Hey!! You really… “
“You keep your promise!! So save me!!!!”

The Korean language that resonates where there is a biter.
What? You know how to speak Korean, right?
