Two guys that match my stats a week ago.
His stats are pretty high for a scout.
Could it be that the main unit has already started moving?

Woowook Koo-

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

When I pressed my foot on my thigh, which had been lightly punctured with his bone knife, a scream of pain erupted from the mouth of the bastard named Park Mun-seong, who rushed at me.

“Don’t be shy. What if it hurts like this?”
“Stop!! Stop!!!!”
“Answer the question honestly. Then I will stop Okay, first question. Are you from Dongdaemun Plaza?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Then the second question. Why did you come here?”
“That, that… Shelter still… Aww!!!”
“Don’t roll your head and answer quickly.”

As punishment for stuttering, I pressed my thighs even harder, and I grabbed my ankles with both hands and tried to move them aside, grabbing Park Mun-seong’s right hand and moving it aside, I slashed the bone knife.

Pooh!!!

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

Park Mun-seong, who let out a scream once with his hand firmly fixed by the bone knife pierced through the back of his hand, began to answer my questions at the speed of light without hesitation.
Facts found out.
First, as I expected, these guys are from Dongdaemun Plaza.
Second, the reason for coming here is to check the existence of shelters.
Thirdly, these guys are not the key figures there, enough to take on only reconnaissance missions.
Fourth, there are more than 100 survivors in Dongdaemun Plaza, and there are at least 20 people who can overwhelm themselves like me.
Aren’t you stronger than you think?

“So what is your final goal?”
“Mo, what could be called a purpose?! Now that we know the shelter is alive and well, joining us here is our purpose!”
“Joining? Not an attack?”
“Attack! Why do we do such foolish things! So please get some of these..!!”
“Okay, okay. Instead, if you lied, one of your limbs would be cut off. And since I asked five questions, if all five are lies, the last one will be the head.”
“I didn’t lie! Really!”
“That’s an issue that needs to be checked.”

After a while, Park Mun-seong, who was freed from the bone knife stuck in his foot and the back of his hand on his thigh, groaned while Kim Hyun-jun, who was being interrogated elsewhere, dragged Han Mi-jun, who was covered in blood, to where I was.

“Did you hear all the answers?”
“Of course.”
“Where are you from?”
“Dongdaemun Plaza.”
“Hmm…”

Even though they were interrogated in different places, Park Mun-seong and Han Mi-jun’s answers were the same without any error.
I had suspicions as if they had been concocted in advance, but now there is no reason for these guys to hold out and there is no way to prove it even if it is a lie, so I have no choice but to believe it for now.

“Okay, I guess I didn’t lie.”
“So, are we going to release them now?”
“No.”
“Hey, wait! Isn’t this different from a promise?!”
“When did I ever say I would release you?”
“That, that… “

He said he would cut off his limbs if he lied, never said he would release them.
Of course, I never said anything about saving my life.

“Who are you?”
“Let’s do this with this guy.”
“Good. But now you kill people, but you seem to have gotten a taste of it? There is no hesitation.”
“I am different from you. These guys are a threat to the shelter. Eliminate the enemy, nothing more, nothing less.”
“Then do I have the coin?”
“Shut up.”

Awesome!!

Kim Hyeon-jun, who said that he was only eliminating enemies, feared that I might steal the coin, so he immediately broke Han Mi-jun’s neck, and I also swung a bone knife and cut Park Mun-seong’s throat.
And a message window popped up in front of my eyes.

[Attributes can be acquired.]
[Choose one of the four characteristics.]
[Steel Muscle (D), Hunter’s Eye (C), Increased Stamina (F), Agile Movement (E)]

I’ve seen all the rest, but I’ve never seen the F-rank one again.

“Check properties.”

『Stamina increase (F) – Stamina stat +1』

“… It’s like trash. Give me a quick move.”

[There are overlapping attributes.]
[You do not need to select the attribute to replace.]
[Acquire Attribute, Agile Movement (E).]
[Duplicate attributes evolve.]
[Acquire Attribute, Fast Movement (D).]

『Fast Movement (D) – Speed ​​+20%』

Only 20% speed… It seems that this is a similar kind of talent to brute force, which only increases strength by 30%.

『Name: Kang Ha-jin (27)
Height: 183 cm Weight: 77 kg
Attributes: Strong Mental Power (D), Physical Awakening (B), Strength (C), Fast Movement (D)
Coins: 384
[Strength Lv.24] [Agility Lv.27] [Stamina Lv.21] [Luck Lv.10]』

One B-class, one C-class, and two D-class.
Total stats excluding Luck 72.
It’s only 6 higher than Kim Hyun-jun’s 66, but now I need 750 coins and 870 coins to raise my strength or agility stat, so it’s not easy to widen the stat gap.
Of course, the two newly appeared monsters, Arachne, give close to 100 coins, and the military gives many coins around 120 coins, but there are not many of them, so the main route to obtain coins is still zombies that give 6 to 10 coins.
In the past week, I raised 2 stats of strength, 5 stats of agility, and 5 stats of stamina, so a total of 7430 coins.
If you calculate with the average number of coins given by zombies, 8, you have caught 928.
However, if you include the new clothes, food and water I buy every day, and the taxes I’m starting to pay, I’ve killed nearly 1200 zombies in a week.
Damn, I caught a lot of dirt.
This is why you can’t find zombies around the shelter even if you wash your eyes and look for them.
Not just me, hundreds of other people are hunting together.

“What are you doing standing there stupidly?”
“I am thinking. Don’t make a fuss.”
“Are you thinking the same as me?”
“What are you thinking?”
“If these guys don’t go back, the other side will recognize what happened to us. I was thinking, why don’t we move first before they take preemptive action?”
“Yes. Since he came to say hello like this first, it would be polite for us to go and say goodbye.”

To be honest, I was thinking useless nonsense, but for no reason I deftly dismissed the same thought.
Anyway, the fact that the scouts came means that they are slowly measuring the timing to move, so I wanted to check with my own eyes how strong they were.

“Then, let’s go back and explain the situation first, then move on.”
“Anyway.”

After a while, Kim Hyeon-joon, who arrived at the shelter with me, announced that the survivors of Dongdaemun Plaza, which had been kept secret until now, were targeting the shelter.
Of course, people were anxious and at a loss for what kind of war was going on, and towards such people, Kim Hyun-joon pulled me in and calmed them down, saying that the shelter guarded by me and the guards would be absolutely safe.

“Then what are you going to do now?!”
“Why don’t we just attack first? There is a saying that you can win first!”
“You haven’t read the Three Kingdoms map?! War is a much more difficult siege than Mercury!”
“That’s right. They say that if they rush around, they may not be able to enter the building and be surrounded by zombies.”
“You’re right. We have too little information about our opponents to launch a preemptive strike, and it is highly likely that several variables will work against us. So, first of all, Kang Ha-jin and I will check the opponent’s location, power, and armed status before coming.”
“Wait! Are you saying that only you and your brother are going?”
“Your brother did that! Now Juha and I have become very strong! But why do you keep not taking us with you on this kind of thing!”
“If me and Kim Hyun-joon fall out, who will protect this place? And if you move with a minimum number of people, there is less chance of being caught. That doesn’t mean you’re stronger than him.”
“It is, but… “
“What if it becomes dangerous again…”

Min-seo and Ju-ha’s faces are full of worries, like parents sending their first child to kindergarten because they almost died from a mutant.
Of course, Camilla is also looking at me with a worried face, but not as worried as that old Diana.
Shall we eat one more before we go?
I’m sorry… I’d love to, but there’s no time for that as we need to arrive before the scouts return.

“Hey, Jihoon Kim.”
“Yes, bro.”
“Keep an eye on that woman.”
“Are you Jeong Bo-mi?”
“Yeah, I mean, I’m a bit of an awkward woman.”
“The characteristics are normal and the stats are normal… Well, I get it anyway. And brother, be careful. Don’t go back and fight again.”
“You are good to me. If something happens to the shelter, it’s all your responsibility.”
“Why?! In the absence of the leader, the person in charge is Minsu-hyung!”
“Without us, Jackson and you are the strongest. So take responsibility.”
“What the… Since when did he feel responsible… Aww!! Why are you hitting me!!”

Bumping Kim Ji-hoon’s head with a lot of talk, I sucked the lips of worried Min-seo and Ju-ha, massaged Camilla’s butt, and left the shelter with Kim Hyun-jun.
Deanna’s voluptuous breasts also need to be massaged, but it’s a pity that the astute bitch quickly ran away and couldn’t.

“Where are you going now? This way.”
“There is a way back. Why leave the open road and go back?”
“… Are you going through the tunnel now?”
“Of course.”

The shortest way from the shelter to Dongdaemun Plaza is to go through a tunnel under Namsan located in the center.
Of course, even if you go back, it’s only a short distance of a little over 1km, but you don’t have to go back.

“Big… ”
“Ugh… “
“Kie-“

Unpleasant sounds and cool air gently flow from the depths covered in darkness, except for the near distance where the sunlight is shining.
The length of the tunnel shown on the map is about 1.6 km.
I’m afraid to go into a tunnel where I don’t know what might be.
Of course, I’m a little worried too.

“Are you really thinking of going here? I can hear zombies and Arachne’s sounds.”
“I’ve come this far, but I can’t go back out of shape, can I? And with so many prey, it’s a waste to leave it behind. We don’t have time, so let’s go through it quickly.”
“Whoa… I didn’t mean to bring you.”
“Speak straight. I brought you Then let’s go, subordinate number two!”
“You wanna die? And what about number 2?”
“No. 1 is Kwon Joo-hyuk. So you are number 2. Originally, Kim Ji-hoon was number 2, so you were number 3, but I raised it a notch. So thank you and follow me~”
“… Stand there, I’ll kill you first.”

Tadadat!!
Tadadat!!

***

S Hotel overlooking the intersection at the entrance of Namsan Tunnel No. 2 at a glance.
There were several survivors from a nearby university as well as surviving hotel staff and guests.

“Fuck.. I’m just going to be in the dorm…”
“What’s the difference between the dormitory and here? I’d rather live in a hotel and search around.”
“I don’t want to die!!”
“Wouldn’t you die if you stayed in the dormitory?! If I had stayed in the dormitory, I would have died already! So stop whining!”

With the rising voice of the two college students, the college students who had escaped from the dormitory and fled to the hotel began to leave one by one.
Every time we get together for a countermeasures meeting, someone fights like this and it ends in a blur.
The college students, who were about to return to their respective rooms in the hallway at the same conclusion today, turned their heads at the sound of urgent footsteps coming from the end of the hallway.

“What’s going on?”
“If… They didn’t come here, did they?”
“No. Obviously, the lobby and the lower floors were full of zombies, so I just went back. I can’t come back.”
“Damn! Why do you say such an unlucky thing?! It makes people feel bad..!”
“Why are you yelling at the kid?!”

Even while doing this, the sound of footsteps grew louder and louder, and at that moment the closed emergency stairway door opened and a bloody man appeared.

“Wow!!!”
“Joe, zombie… “
“No, it’s a person!”
“Escape… Run away… “
“Mister!!”
“Run away!!!”

A man’s scream echoed through the hallway.
And the screaming man’s head tilted and fell to the floor in the hallway.

“Fuck, they’re hiding here.”
“You had a hard time finding it~”
“Uh, aaaaa!!!”
“Run away!!!!”
“Damage!!”
“Everybody run away!!!”
“Kyaaak!!!”

In an instant, the screams and shouts of college students echoed in the hallway, and all the other guests or other college students in the room ran out into the hallway, and they began to be subdued one after another by the people pouring in from the emergency stairs.

“Soyun! Hold my sister’s hand!!”
“Sister… “
“What are you stupid about?! Both run!!”

Only a group of five college students who first discovered the intruder succeeded in escaping through the emergency stairs on the other side, but their future was not so bright.
People smirk at the sight of the corpses of zombies in the lobby and the five college students running away while taking their seats.

“Oh my god… “
“Ah… “
“Just run! Ignore it and run!!”

The five college students ran out of the hotel, passing by the people who were smirking and staring at them even though they were clearly within enough distance to catch them, and had to keep running without knowing their destination.
Now, the people who had been watching quietly began to come out one by one.

“Run away~ run away~”
“It’s been a while since hunting?”
“Shall I bet? Whoever catches it first gets to eat both years first.”
“Call!”
“Okay~ then let’s start!!!”
“Ah, that sly bastard…! Go with me!!”

People chasing college students who run away like play, but before they can get caught, two college students lose their lives because they can’t break through the crowd of zombies.
There are now three college students left.

“Excuse me! Get in there!!”
“But over there..!”
“Just get in!! If it was over there, even those people wouldn’t be able to come after me!!”

The place where the man shouts to enter is Namsan Tunnel No. 2, which is about 30 meters away.
The three college students who had no choice but to run towards the tunnel to avoid the pursuing pursuers were about to enter the dark tunnel, and a huge Arachne came out of the tunnel first, hanging from the ceiling of the tunnel.

“Keeeee!!!!”
“Uh, uh… “
“Kyaa… “
“Ah… “

The moment when three college students were about to burst out of their mouths at Arachne’s gigantic, never-before-seen scream.

“Oohhh!!! I’m chasing after you!!”
“I told you to go back!!!”

Hajin, who jumped out of the tunnel in an instant, passed by the man standing with a stupid face like the wind, and at the same time, the two female college students who were running away with him disappeared.

“Oh~ delicious… No, it looks pretty.”
“Wow!!!”
“Hey, let go of this!!”
