Chapter 109 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (17)
After dinner, we returned to the office, which is now more like a farm than a car wash.
Now the days are slowly getting longer, so even after dinner, the surroundings were bright.
We lay in bed and checked information about our surroundings, just like when we stayed in my own room at an officetel.
“Wow. Our government does a good job.”
It is said that a power plant and sewage treatment facility have been secured.
It was a bit disappointing that communication was missing, but that was the company’s responsibility in the first place.
Until now, I didn’t really trust the government, but when I heard that water and electricity had been secured, I had no choice but to say that it was a good job.
Now, it’s time to recapture the breadbasket for food, but honestly, that seems a bit difficult.
The secured power plant and sewage treatment facility are located close to the metropolitan area.
If there are currently troops there, you have to go down to the south, but unless you fly, there is a high chance of encountering evolved zombies.
Because it can be said that there is almost no chance of anyone other than me defeating an evolved zombie.
‘I don’t know if anyone ever realizes Mana.’
The balance of this hierarchy has already begun to collapse due to the intervention of beings from the upper hierarchy.
Even if it is not an intuitive form such as a status window, it is highly likely that it was a layer where mana could be learned.
That will happen if the contaminated mana from zombies is naturally purified and absorbed into the world.
Still, it won’t be possible with just a handful of mana.
“Ugh. Sian, look at this.”
Naeun found something on his smartphone and played the video for me.
It looks like a nuclear power plant? And then it exploded.
“What? Isn’t it a movie?”
Although the concept of reality has become blurred, I had no choice but to ask Naeun that question.
“The nuclear power plant exploded in leader. It’s true. There’s a YouTuber who summarizes the zombie situation overseas these days, and I referenced the video from there.”
“Were there people who volunteered like that? But it was a real explosion.”
If you think about it, it is a place with a population that is incomparable to that of our country.
If a zombie outbreak broke out in such a place and evolved or synthetic zombies appeared, how many would have appeared?
In addition, there may be places with a culture that does not accept cremation by burning the body.
“We are worried because China is close.”
“It certainly has a large population and is connected by land.”
You have to pass through North Korea to come down, but can North Korea stop the evolving zombies?
“We should expect it to take more time. If you think about it that way, we also have to worry about North Korea’s evolving zombies. Isn’t that too difficult?”
“They stay in the military there longer than we do, right? Wouldn’t they fight better?”
Naeun said, swinging his fist in the air.
“Now that I think about it, if North Korea collapses like this, won’t I have to go to the military?”
Lee Sa-an, I was reminded of my status as a freshman in college who was about to enlist next year.
If the world is not completely ruined, but ruined to some extent, I might have to go.
“I hope you don’t go. Just don’t go.”
“If necessary, you can show your strength and move upward.”
In order to protect Naeun and not break up again, I have to develop strength.
I was very reluctant that the second reason was the military, but one more reason arose.
“Okay. Then, I will train, so please take good care of me in the meantime.”
“But is that meditation more helpful than swinging a bat?”
“That’s it for now.”
That iron bat wasn’t a proper weapon, and power was the most important thing for me right now, as I was able to make clear choices through calmness and insight.
I got off the bed, sat down on the floor, closed my eyes, and started breathing again.
I think I work harder than when I was Hansian.
*
This time too, quite some time had passed before I opened my eyes.
When I looked back, Naeun was sitting on the bed and stretching, and when we made eye contact, he smiled brightly.
“Did something happen while I was meditating?”
“Yes. Fortunately, there were none. The farmer just checked the condition of the garden. It’s night now, so be careful.”
When I looked outside, the sun had set and the moon had risen.
Is it around 10 o’clock? I had a lucky breakfast for about 3 hours.
Han Xian’s body was already skilled, and it was much faster when he used the fortune-telling method of the Yeonyeom Divine Technique that his body was familiar with.
It felt a little different, perhaps because Lee Sian’s body had no foundation or because I was aiming for something different.
Even if the status window helped, it was still difficult to create something that did not exist.
I think I should think of the name of the skill as well.
“Naeun, lie down, and I’ll give you a massage.”
“Huh? I understand. How should I lie down?”
“Forward? Yes, forward is better.”
After finishing stretching, Naeun lay down, and I went back next to him and placed my hand on his stomach.
“I think I’ve gained a little weight because I’ve been exercising less recently.”
Even though there was still no visible flab, it felt a little embarrassing for me to touch it like this.
I converted my body’s mana into heat and sent it to the place where the female sexual energy was concentrated the most.
“Huh? What is it? Xian, my hands suddenly felt incredibly warm. Did it do the same when I was massaging her legs?”
I felt Seoyeon swallowing up my heat without difficulty.
As the warmth spread through Seoyeon’s body, her eyes slightly relaxed as she looked at me, and her whole body seemed to relax naturally.
The massage effect seems to be certain.
“Huh. Good.”
“I’m glad. This will take away a lot of the fatigue from my body.”
“Yeah. I’m really sleepy.”
Is there a drowsiness-inducing effect that I don’t know about? Naeun even covered himself with a blanket, probably thinking he was really planning on sleeping.
I did it once in the morning and I know I only have two condoms left, but are you just going to sleep like this?
They say that your sex drive reverses after you get married, but I think it’s true that now is the time when I have more.
Still, I was tired and couldn’t wake up someone who was trying to sleep, so I quietly opened the office door and went out.
Of course, since I was going outside, I held a metal bat in one hand.
There happened to be a patrol team from a nearby supermarket patrolling nearby, and I briefly greeted them and asked them.
“Thank you for your hard work. How many zombies did you catch?”
“There were nine. Unless they come all at once, they are no match for us anymore.”
“Is that so? Still, the top priority is not to get infected, so fight safely.”
“When I see Sian walking towards the synthetic zombie in the morning, I wonder if that’s true, but I’ll keep that in mind.”
The patrol leader and team members returned to the mart, laughing at my words.
So now, shall we try detecting presence to sleep comfortably?
I closed my eyes and used presence detection in a wide range.
Although a lot of my mental power was consumed at the moment, the effect was clear.
“It has a tail?”
A group of people was captured a little distance away.
They seem to be gathered quietly on the stairs, holding their breath. They won’t pick up anyone again tonight, right?
He held up an iron bat, muffled the sound of his footsteps, and then moved forward.
Slowly reducing the range of presence detection, I approached and made footsteps so that the person hiding could hear.
“I don’t understand why you come here at night.”
Anyone can see that there are bad intentions.
If you come during the day and get rejected even once, are you just thinking of attacking me at night?
Quiet night. As my footsteps became louder to them, the murmur from inside the building grew louder.
“Huh!! Ah?”
At that moment, a man with a kitchen knife attached to a long iron bar ran out from the entrance of the stairs and stopped when he saw my iron bat.
That window is a self-defense weapon with good accessibility and excellent cost-effectiveness.
Even a person holding such an efficient weapon seems confused when he sees my stupid-looking metal bat.
To be precise, does it look like he is holding that ignorant-looking weapon with one hand?
“Since you spoke first, let’s not talk about anything else.”
He stretched out his hand and pulled the part where the spear and kitchen knife were connected with his left hand, and thrust forward the iron bat he was holding in his right hand.
Per word
Since the iron bat did not have a smooth end like a baseball bat, blood spattered from the face where it was hit.
“Wait! Wait!! You didn’t stab me! You stopped!”
The guy who got hit immediately stretched out and the person holding the weapon shouted at me.
For that to happen, I thought I was sufficiently threatened by the rules of survival and calmness kicked in.
He lost his composure when he saw my weapon and stopped attacking, but if I had been more determined, I would have stabbed him straight away.
“Ooh… Other people know we went to the supermarket! Aren’t you afraid of revenge!”
“So you’re asking for my life? I think there are four more people. Why don’t you just fight?”
“What? How did you know?”
“You idiot! What should I do if I say that!”
“Yeah. Shit! There are more of us!”
As I stepped back a little, men started to come down the stairs.
The weapon is not suitable to fight four people alone.
Either I can process it before it all comes down, or I can just use the window.
I quickly bent down and picked up the spear that the man had tried to stab me with from the floor.
To deal with monsters such as evolved zombies or synthetic zombies, you need something like an iron bat, but to deal with people, such a weapon is sufficient.
I aimed for the gap at the man in front who was hurriedly coming down the stairs and threw out the window.
Pooh wook
The chest may have been prepared for attack, but it seems the thighs were not.
When I pierced the spear and twisted it slightly, the man let out a loud scream and lost his weapon.
“Quaaaaa!!”
I immediately pulled out the spear, retrieved it, and aimed at the next person.
The man who was going down in front of me stiffened in surprise at the sight of him shouting loudly, and when he saw me stabbing the spear again, he twisted his body.
It is a situation where the options have increased through calmness.
I was able to accurately stab the man in the thigh as he turned around.
Fuuuuuk
“My legs!!!”
The third man also sat on the floor, wrapping his hands around his bleeding thighs.
“To… Run away!”
The two people behind gave up on coming down and started going up again.
Shadow Mastery doesn’t give me any other skills, but it still provides me with the effect of changing mana to negative properties and brightening my night vision, so I stepped on the stairs and quickly went up, avoiding the two people who were sitting on the stairs.
When he stabbed the leg of one of the people running away from behind, the man fell forward.
I saved him at best, but he didn’t fall and break his head, right?
Slam! Slam! Slam!
“It won’t open!!!”
The man on top was struggling with the rooftop door.
Naeun also just broke the doorknob when he went up to the rooftop.
“Save me… Save me…”
“If I had died in the first attack, I wouldn’t have heard it.”
I ignored the cries for help and stopped the spear while trying to kill the last man by piercing his heart.
“Tell me. Where are you from?”
I’ve saved everyone at best, so let’s dig up some information.
