Chapter 106 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (14)

I did more work than I expected in the morning.

After killing a synthetic zombie, I went outside and brought blankets and mattresses to make the car wash office a little more comfortable to stay in.

And since I was in a good mood with Naeun, it was naturally lunchtime.

In other worlds, there was a strong feeling that mealtime was just mealtime, but in this world, it is a very precious time.

Other than synthetic zombies, it doesn’t seem like anything major happened near the supermarket.

I tapped Naeun, who was lying down and playing with his smartphone.

“Huh? Ah. It’s lunchtime. Hwaaaaam.”

I wish I could get a good night’s sleep after having sex, but there was no time left until lunch, so I just spent the time like this, so I was tired.

I guess I should eat lunch and get a good night’s sleep.

“Let’s take a good rest after eating.”

“Yes. Then.”

When Naeun and I came out of the car wash and headed to the supermarket, there were countless zombie corpses at the entrance.

Yes, nothing major happened, but there were small things like that.

If you patrol near the supermarket every 3 hours, you will hunt less than 10 zombies, and 12 hours have already passed.

By simple calculation, about 40 zombies would have appeared nearby.

When the spearmen saw me going to the entrance of the supermarket holding a baseball bat, they opened the door and the people who came out dragged the zombie corpse to the incinerator.

Is the synthetic zombie’s corpse still burning?

Because I took out all the contaminated mana that made the body move, it might have become an ordinary corpse.

Although it smelled good, it was a lunch that felt a little worse than breakfast.

Rice, pork belly, and ssamjang.

I didn’t know salad could be this tasty.

I think I went back after being possessed last time and ate a lot of meat at the Global Academy restaurant.

“Mr. Xian, can we talk a little after we finish eating?”

“Yes, Seongtae Choi. I’ll come visit you after eating.”

As I was eating with Naeun, Seongtae Choi came to see me.

I think killing the synthetic zombies in the morning was enough to pay for the meal, but it’s okay to move your body a little as you pay in advance.

After finishing my meal with a meal that was delicious but made me miss vegetables, I went to the customer support center with Naeun.

A man I hadn’t seen before was there first.

“I saw the video. It seemed like it had a lot of strength, right?”

“Moderate exercise helped.”

I held out my hand and shook the man’s hand who was reaching out to me.

“Mr. Xian, this is Dujin Lee. Among the staff at the mart, I have some experience with growing a vegetable garden, so I asked for your help.”

“Ah. There is definitely a shortage of vegetables.”

Choi Seong-tae, who manages the mart’s overall supplies, must have felt this as well.

When I asked him to find out about farming, he did many things when I didn’t know anything.

“There are some issues that Mr. Lee Du-jin is talking about. Would you like to listen to them?”

“Yes. If there is anything I can do, I should help.”

“First, the problem is that there is not enough land to create a vegetable garden. The soil around here is all paved, with only the areas where street trees are planted.”

I thought about the patrol I did yesterday and my experience of this place where I originally lived.

The officetel I lived in had a flower bed, but it was not a vegetable garden.

I was also reluctant to go to other places because of the bugs.

“I need soil.”

“That and seeds. We need a lot of seeds to be able to harvest a lot from the beginning, but the supermarket is running out of vegetables.”

At that time, Naeun looked at me and said.

“Sian, are the seeds we have enough?”

“I don’t know if it’s enough, but I guess we can get started.”

I bought seeds before the zombie apocalypse started.

I didn’t use it because I thought it would last for 30 days at home, but I brought it with me when I moved to the supermarket.

“Mr. Xian, do you have any seeds?”

“There is also simple lettuce and green onion cabbage.”

Without thinking too much, I bought three bags of something that looked vaguely delicious.

“So what happens if you only have dirt?”

“It’s almost summer, so it’s not the best time to grow food, but we have to eat it first, so it would be better to plant it quickly. If only we had the land to plant it…”

“How about the car wash right next door? If you have to get the dirt from somewhere anyway, I think the car wash’s size would be fine.”

There is the problem of having to pay by card when giving water, but you can also use a rubber hose to give water in a supermarket or office restroom.

“Then we need to get soil, and the mountain nearby is the university.”

“The university is also building its own power.”

In order to grow vegetables in a car wash, you also need quite a bit of soil.

If you want to scoop up dirt from the mountain and move it here, you will have to bring a lot of people.

“For the 2 o’clock patrol, two groups will come out at once. At the same time, we plan to search for tools that can be used to scoop up dirt, so could you come back again after the 2 o’clock patrol is over, and we are planning the next step?”

“Yes. I will rest at the car wash.”

There is still quite a bit of time left before the 2 o’clock patrol ends, so it would be a good idea to rest comfortably.

As I was leaving the supermarket, I saw the Park siblings stabbing her in the air at the entrance.

His older brother, Park Jae-young, was still able to stab the iron spear well, but his younger brother, Park Eun-seo, appeared to stumble a bit.

Since she is not an adult woman, she probably lacks strength.

It was nice that Naeun had strength.

As I came out through the entrance opened by the female spearmen and headed to the car wash, a thought occurred to me.

“Shall we go and scout out what the situation is like there now?”

“Is that my officetel?”

There was a high possibility that a synthetic zombie had emerged from the officetel where a person named Geon-woo was the leader.

And it occurred to me that he might be the synthetic zombie I caught that morning.

“Um, okay. Let’s go carefully. And let’s pack our bags and let’s go.”

“Good idea.”

I plan to take my smartphone with me, so if something happens at the supermarket, I will be able to be contacted right away.

We were not particularly armed and walked slowly down the street, carrying only a baseball bat and an empty bag.

“I can see quite a few zombies.”

This is how many zombies piled up while the patrol team wasn’t patrolling.

“Sian, I don’t have a weapon.”

Naeun kept looking around on his way, but there was definitely no weapon of use.

“I know. I’ll sort it out soon.”

The first thing to do was to use presence detection to check whether all zombies were visible.

After confirming that there were no other zombies around, I ran towards the zombie and swung the baseball bat.

Whoa, whoa!

The zombies in the alley, who heard the sound of the zombie’s head exploding, looked at me and their eyes turned red.

“Krb!”

“Bake it!”

The zombies put their hands forward and started running according to their instincts.

It’s easier to kill the one that comes faster first and then the rest, but the two zombies run at similar speeds.

It’s okay though. Because I just have to go.

I ran to the left, got closer to the zombie faster, and swung the baseball bat, hitting it roughly.

Bye bye!

The zombie flew away with the sound of its ribs breaking, and the remaining zombie swung the baseball bat precisely at its head.

Whoa!

Two zombies died instantly, and one zombie was crawling on the floor, unable to move properly because his ribs were broken.

When he saw me approaching to finish him off, he swung his claws, but he stepped on his arm and delivered the finishing blow.

Whoops!!!

“As expected, the larger the number, the more threatening it is.”

In order to use a baseball bat properly, you needed space to swing it.

It was inconvenient because if multiple enemies attacked at the same time, the space became more restricted.

If you can hold a sword and use sword energy, you can further minimize the range of movement of your arms. Where would the sword not fall?

“Really. What if I get scratched? I don’t know where Sian went when we had a one-on-one situation on the stairs.”

“You’re a little used to it, right?”

“It’s very different from what I’m used to seeing and fighting.”

Naeun can now just look at zombies with their heads exploded.

Because this is the world.

As Naeun continued his search for things that could be used as weapons, a store with broken glass came into view.

Since the window frame has become meaningless anyway, what can I do about it?

“Aren’t you trying to destroy it?”

“Is that right? Wouldn’t this be sturdy?”

“I thought it would be heavy for me to lift. And wouldn’t the baseball bat bend?”

It feels a bit like losing the only weapon you have.

However, Naeun is mistaken. It seems like he can tear it off with his hands.

“Listen just a moment.”

“Yes.”

Naeun, who obediently received the baseball bat, stepped back.

“Fuuuuu…”

I expelled all the air in my lungs and filled them with new air, holding on to the door frame and strengthening my arms.

Kwazizyk

The joint part of the door frame was torn apart, and something like an iron pillar came out.

It’s flawed in that it’s too long, and the ends are bent, but I think it could be used as a decent weapon with a little bit of processing.

“Don’t say that while you’re showing such incredible strength, it’s a strength created through exercise.”

“Is there anything else you can guess other than that?”

It seemed like his credibility was diminishing because he was talking about folding a piece of metal in half, which was not good enough to be used as a weapon.

I thought it would be okay to just swing it around because I folded it like this to halve the length and increase the volume.

“Are you just going to swing it?”

“It’s a test of durability. Let’s keep going.”

“Ugh. I guess my boyfriend wasn’t that ignorant to begin with.”

Naeun said as if he was tired and followed behind me.

And on the way, there was a zombie standing there, so I was able to test the new weapon, a piece of metal.

Whoa, whoa!

“It bent right away.”

The power was pretty good, but the durability wasn’t that good.

Is it because there is a gap to insert a glass window? I thought it would be better if it was entirely made of iron.

“Sian, let’s leave that behind when we go.”

“I will.”

For some reason, I felt like if I didn’t answer like that, we would grow apart, so I answered quickly.
