Chapter 90 – The Scout (1)

Shoot aaaaa-

White steam rises from the stream of water spouting out of the shower and wets the woman’s naked body, which looks smooth and soft.
And a low-pitched voice.

“Sisters… I think I’m dreaming…”
“So do i… Taking a hot shower…”
“I think this is reality and everything we’ve been through has been a dream? At least, if you are a human, you should live like this~ You guys should wash up quickly and come back here~ It’s really warm~”
“Then I can’t see you! You can’t go in!”
“Huh? What did you say now?”
“Yes?”
“What do you say?”
“I just can’t go in… It must have been a male voice…”

At the words of a woman who was soaking in hot water filled in a large bathtub like a real bathtub, the two women who were taking a shower before entering the hot tub hurriedly looked around and muttered with anxious faces.

“Why are you so scared, sister…”
“Hey… Don’t do it…”
“No, I must have heard something… “

Hear that sound? It’s a bright year
Anyway, is this bastard going to kill me?
Stop it, you son of a bitch!

Took!!

I removed Kim Hyun-joon’s hand, which had blocked his mouth as well as his nose at the same time, turned on the flashlight that I had turned off, and opened my mouth wide, cursing him not to interfere with the moment I realized my dream in elementary school.
Then, Kim Hyun-joon’s voice whispered in a small whisper.

(This is enough. It’s a crime any more. Let’s go back.)
(You’re fucking. And why are those eyes still doing that?)
(…)

Kim Hyeon-joon, who was still looking down at the bathroom through the crack in the ceiling while covering my mouth and whispering to go back, lifted his face with a shy expression.

(I looked at it like crazy last time… Looking at this, you’re more pervert than me? If you’re so dissatisfied, you’d better make a woman. There are quite a few women who insist on liking you, right?)
(Shut up. I don’t want to hear that you are a real pervert cub, who is not enough to spit around.)
(Noisy. Who’s drooling right now, calling me pervert? It’s Mr. Pervert.)
(This kid is really..!)
(Should I go get a fly swatter?!)
(Looks like he wants a bullet hole in his head.)

While Kim Hyeon-jun and I were engaged in a meaningless war of nerves with no productivity whatsoever, I heard a rather interesting conversation from downstairs.

“By the way, Bomi unnie, unnie, how did she end up alone?”
“What do you ask? It must be a memory I don’t want to remember… “
“Wait a minute, Jumiya. I wonder about that too It was a bit out of the blue that you were left there alone like that. Bomiya, can I ask?”

Me and Kim Hyeon-jun, who shut each other’s mouths for a moment, looked down at the bathroom again through the gap instead of listening.
Even if you don’t listen anyway, you can hear the words well.
After all, this guy is the same guy.
That’s how we overheard the ensuing conversation while staring down at the naked body of a woman with elastic breasts and buttocks that, despite having minor scars, had no flaws at all.

“I have been with other people for a while, but from the beginning I was alone. I was a bank teller, but I woke up early that day, and I was the first to go to work, open the bank door, and drink coffee by myself. But zombies appeared and I survived alone from then on. For a few days, I was enduring with snacks and drinks in the kitchen, but one day I found people fighting zombies in front of my bank and opened the door. Just as the world has changed through them, I learned that everyone has a strange power like a game, and I have survived until now.”
“Then who are they?”
“He is dead. Should I tell you more about how you died?”
“Oh, no…”
“Ha… Everyone is the same, but Bomi must have had a hard time too. If I were left alone like that… Ugh!! I hate to even think about it!”
“Don’t worry anymore, sister. We’ll be by your side, and it’s a safe place here, so everything will be fine.”
“Yeah, thank you.”

In a way, it is a very ordinary story.
But why is it so embarrassing?
That expression that seems to have more secrets hidden…
Maybe I’m being too sensitive, but Kim Hyun-jun’s expression is quite hardened, as if to tell me that this uncomfortable feeling isn’t necessarily because of that.

(What do you think about it?)
(For now, there is no reason to be suspicious. But…)
(Aren’t you embarrassed?)
(…Did you feel it too?)

Fall out!

An ominous sound coming from under Kim Hyeon-joon at the moment of thinking.

(…)
(…)

Kim Hyeon-jun, who made eye contact with me, instinctively stretched out his hand toward me, but I also instinctively brushed off the slowly approaching Kim Hyeon-joon’s hand.

(You…)
(It would be embarrassing to be alone.)
(Such a bitch…)

Kwajijik!!

Along with the swear words that Kim Hyun-jun was unable to utter, the scaffold on which Kim Hyun-joon was lying on was broken and he fell down.

With a plop!!!!

“Kyaaak!!!”
“Wow!!”
“Rice, rice, pervert!!!!!”
“Fughak!! Oh no! I am such a person… Kuk!!!”
“Die! Die! You pervert bastard!!!”
“A bastard like you doesn’t even deserve to live!!!!”
“No!!!”

Poop!!!

Good going friend.
Happiness doubles when shared, and embarrassment doubles when shared, so carry it alone.
Still, since you can see women’s naked bodies right in front of your nose, it won’t be a losing business, heh heh heh~

***

Kim Hyeon-jun, who had the most trustworthy and honest image in the shelter, fell to the ground as he became a pervert who stole the women’s bathhouse.
However, Kim Hyeon-jun did not say why he had to do that.
Because that’s a secret that only Kim Hyun-joon and I know.

“Did you hear? The captain was caught stealing the women’s bath.”
“Really? I’m completely disappointed.. I haven’t seen people like that…”
“Whoa… Why am I the only one who has to be humiliated like this..! Explain, Kang Ha-jin!”

Misunderstood as a pervert by four women in the bathhouse, Kim Hyun-joon, whose right eyeball is swollen black and his face full of nail scratches, glares at me as he grits his teeth at people’s gossip.

“Why are you asking me that? The problem is that you were up there unluckily. I was in your shoes if what was below me was broken. You are just unlucky.”
“Whoa… If you die one day, don’t worry. The culprit must be me.”
“Either way. More than that, what are the stats and characteristics?”
“Check for yourself.”

He handed me the seven sheets of paper he was holding in his hand, but I was only interested in one of them.

『Name: Jeong Bo-mi (29)
Height: 164 cm The weight: 48 kg
Traits: Agile Movement (E), Strong Muscles (E)
Coins: 463
[Strength Lv.15] [Agility Lv.18] [Stamina Lv.13] [Luck Lv.3]』

Checking the paper with the information of Jeong Bo-mi, a woman with an elastic body, I tilted her head.

“Even if you weigh, you’re only this tall? It looked bigger.”
“Is that important now?!”
“You’re on the top row after your name. I’m just checking in order. Let’s see… Well, the rest is normal. Luck is 3, but having two talents takes a bit, but if you survived alone, having these traits or stats is a minimum requirement. That makes it even weirder.”
“Yes, with these characteristics and stats, there was no reason to be in particular danger in that situation.”

Everyone is much stronger now, but if you go back a week, your stats are at least on par with Minseo and Juha.
And even now, if you include these two characteristics in your stats, you will never be put in a dangerous situation by being trapped in a horde of zombies.
Of course, I had to help the people I was with, and since Eater and Biter, as well as Arachne and the army, appeared, I could be in danger enough.
But the monsters started appearing almost after we arrived, and this woman named Jeong Bo-mi wasn’t even actively helping others.
A person who took such a dubious act without helping others, without running away for his own life, and without being very strong, survived until now?
That’s nonsense

“Hey, Hyunjoon Kim. Which one do you think is closer?”
“I think it’s more accurate to say that he was just targeting the people who came with him rather than being a scout.”
“I think so too. But just in case you don’t know, let’s keep an eye on it.”

The scout means the person Park Seung-woo mentioned before he died.
In the meeting room with Camilla, Park Jun-mo, and Choi Ho-il, I deliberately did not speak, but after handing out the people caught at Itaewon Station one by one, I spoke to Kim Hyun-jun separately.
Park Seung-woo said that some force might be targeting the shelter.
So, Kim Hyeon-jun and I secretly stole the women’s bath to check what purpose the newcomers had to come to the shelter.
Of course, I’ve never peeped at a men’s bath, but I’ve stole every first bath scene of newly joined women.
When soaking in warm water in a quiet bathhouse where only they are, tension and fatigue are relieved and true intentions come out.
However, if people in Dongdaemun Plaza ask how they knew about the existence of shelters, there would be no survivors in Seoul who did not know about the existence of shelters to the extent that they would have to ask back, “Isn’t it strange that you don’t know?”
Flyers were scattered all over Seoul from helicopters.
That’s why Park Seung-woo was also targeting people in the shelter from the beginning and ran away to Itaewon Station.

“Hey, but how long are you going to keep it a secret? Even if you exclude people who don’t seem to be completely, there are more than 10 people to watch now. And why do I have to go through this high school alone?”
“That dog high school student is with me. And you also decided that it was better not to inform people, so you only informed me.”
“At first it was. I’m worried that I’ll shrink to the point where I can’t even go hunting. But look over there. Now you are strong enough to be confident.”
“Kuhhhhh!!!”
“Byter! Teams 2 and 3 block the zombies, and Team 1 fights Biters with me!”

With the appearance of Biter, there are no more people running away from Honbibaeksan.
Even Choi Ho-il, who can be seen over there, has become strong enough to believe in his own strength to the extent that the cowardly man has disappeared and leads the people to fight against Biter.
Well, at least it’s at the level of pushing and killing zombies with numbers like dealing with people.
Still, it is encouraging that they were able to deal with biters with their own strength without casualties.

“Was it because of that? Why did you only tell me?”
“Why? Aren’t you?”
“I can’t say there aren’t reasons like that, but my reasons are a bit different.”

It is said that the reason Kim Hyeon-jun hid the fact that someone was targeting the shelter was because of fear of turning into a closed group.
It’s not a large number, but survivors are steadily joining the shelter, but if they find out that outside forces are targeting the shelter, the antipathy and rejection towards the outside survivors will grow, so they say they were hiding it because they feared that even the good survivors would not accept it.
Well, that makes sense.

“But it is a fact that you will find out someday. Shouldn’t there be some kind of advance notice before an attack really comes in here?”
“I’m thinking of notifying you soon… “

Swish-
Swish-

Not only me, but Kim Hyeon-joon’s head, who was speechless, turned in the same direction as mine.
Then, I turned my head and met each other’s eyes, Kim Hyun-jun and I nodded once in the same way and ran to the direction we were looking at a moment ago.

“Brother!! Where else are you going!!”
“Leave it. Camilla and Deanna are over there.”
“Ah… That’s right~ hehe”

The voices of Juha and Minseo came from behind.
Should I have tipped you off a little?
No, it’s first to catch them first.
If you do it wrong, you will miss it.

“Go first. Be careful because they might run into you at the same time.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself.”
“No worries.”

Tadadat!!

First of all, I ran into the side alley at the maximum speed I could achieve, faster than Kim Hyun-jun, and Kim Hyun-jun continued running past the alley I entered.
Then I turned my head to check the alley on the side, passed two more alleys, quickly turned left, pulled out the bone knife hanging from my back, and swung it.

Shahah!!!
Tadat-
Tadat-

“Where are you going so busy?”

The two men who jumped out of the alley next to me, reacted quickly to my attack with a bone knife, and stepped back, staring at me with curious eyes.
And then…

Tadat!!
Tadat!!

One rushed toward Kim Hyeon-jun, who was blocking the back, and the other ran toward me, who was blocking the front.

Serureung- Serureung-

As he ran, the man pulled out two knives about 60cm in length that were hanging from his waist.

“Looks like you’re a guy who’s catching up with us.”
“To some extent.”

Whiik!! Whiik!! Chaeeng!! Whiik!!!

Fast.
Dexterity is over 20 stats.
And instead of swinging at random, they aim for various parts such as the neck, heart, and thighs, brandishing and stabbing.
It is said that he is quite accustomed to fighting with people.

Wheeik!!!

I lowered my stance and stepped back to avoid the attack of the guy who swung his sword at my waist.

“You seem concerned.”
“Little.”
“But worry about yourself.”
“I don’t mean that… “

Tadat-
Wheeik!!!

The guy who cut me off and rushed in swung a knife at me, and I swung a bone knife as the two knives collided in the air.

Chaeeng!!!

Oh, you hold on?
The knife was pushed back the moment it collided, but the man who survived the clash with me swung the knife in his left hand from bottom to top, aiming for my right wrist holding his bone knife.
Power, speed, judgment.
Really great without missing anything.
By the way…

“Take that.”
“… “

Whiik!!!

Without regret, my right hand, which had placed the bone knife, fell back, and my left fist slammed into the slightly frowning guy’s eye, along with the knife drawing a semicircle in the air.

Poop!!!
Deed Deuk!!!!

The guy who falls backwards and slides down the alleyway.
And my one word spat out while scratching his head with his right hand.

“I’ll follow you there.”

I allowed a blow, but at my words, the guy with a repentant smile raised his body from the ground and looked back.
And the expression he’s making now is obvious.

“Hey, hit me moderately! After that, you can’t even interrogate!”
“I!”

Puck!!

“Because of you guys!!”

Puck!!

“I’ve become a bathhouse peeping pervert!!!”
“Chehehe!!!!”

Blood spurted out of the man’s mouth with his chin lifted along with Kim Hyun-joon’s fist soaring into the air.
Fuck it, it hurts so bad.
