Chapter 124 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (32)
After washing my body cleanly and tidying up my room, I took a deep breath and woke up.
Naeun, who had been satisfied with having sex for a day, was sleeping peacefully next to her.
I’m a little worried that my lifestyle may be ruined because of me.
After confirming that Naeun is sleeping, what I need to look at is his right hand.
There was a very slight discomfort when clenching and unclenching my fist, but this is close to a complete recovery.
With combat sleep and homeostasis, I really don’t think I’ll ever have to see a doctor.
However, this skill is originally a skill that improves sleep quality and restores stamina quickly, so isn’t recovering from wounds any different?
I don’t know if it’s because I have mana in my body or because my survival rules have become A+, but the effectiveness has definitely improved.
‘Now that I’m feeling better, the next important thing is weapons.’
In the case of baseball bats and supermarket spears, they can be said to be good weapons for adding mana because they are not mixed together.
Of course, there were limitations to the material, so once mana was added, there was a high possibility that the weapon would explode because it could not overcome the repulsive force.
As a last resort, you should use your fists.
Since I couldn’t sacrifice my broken right hand again, I checked my smartphone and told myself to use my left hand.
It was still a little after 4 o’clock. There had to be three more hours before the sun set and two hours before dinner.
“Should I take a breather?”
Or how should I make a shower?
It took too long to wash up after having sex earlier.
Washing with water from the sink still has its limits.
Since I had no intention of going far, I left Naeun and went out of the car wash with a baseball bat.
“Water. Water. Water.”
Since it is a car wash, it is easy to get water.
If you just put a card there, water with strong pressure that can remove dirt from your car comes out.
First, I approached the sink that was free.
There were three faucets, one of which had a rubber hose attached.
Lee Doo-jun wants to use this to water his garden, but it’s a problem because he can’t turn off the faucet in the bathroom.
I think it would be best to get a water tank that fits that bathroom.
And then I went to the garden.
It has only been a few days since the seeds were sown, so no sprouts have sprouted yet, but compared to the surrounding paved floor, the dirt floor seemed to have vitality.
I want to eat delicious lettuce quickly.
“There’s nothing to do.”
Since we’ve been busy for a few days, shouldn’t we have a day like today where we eat raw food?
Even if I eat it raw, I go to the gym in the morning, meet someone from Hyorim High School, and come back to the supermarket, but the afternoon and evening will be empty.
“Haaam.”
I yawned loudly and returned to the office.
Naeun, who was still sleeping, was sleepily groping the bed where I had disappeared, but when I sat down on that side, she grabbed my thighs and regained her composure.
Naeun’s dependence and obsession seem to have the potential to go beyond that, but I don’t know how to control it.
That’s because the situation is like this. It will get better once the zombie outbreak calms down, right?
“Sian, are you awake?”
Naeun said with her eyes closed.
“Yes. If you want to sleep, it’s okay to sleep more.”
“No. I feel like I need to eat dinner and then take a nap, so I’m going to get up.”
She said so, but her eyes were still closed.
“Then let’s go look at the weapons. Wake up.”
When she put her hands on Naeun’s side and lifted him up, it seemed like he was getting up reluctantly.
After waking up like that, she headed to the supermarket with Naeun and checked the windows that had been placed on the wall of her supermarket for Su-Hae’s use.
I touched each of the windows and chose the three that seemed to be in the best condition.
I chose ones that have sharper blades and appear to be harder, so this should be enough to use.
As I went into the supermarket with the window aside, I saw Young-eun talking to a man.
They seemed to be quite close, and it seems like they became good friends while working at the supermarket.
“Young-eun didn’t have a boyfriend, right?”
“Yeah. There wasn’t any.”
Rather than meddling, she chose to pretend not to see and pass by.
And another person who stood out was Jaeyoung Park, sitting there with her haggard face.
“Park Jae-young, your expression doesn’t look very good?”
“Ah, brother. Patrolling is harder than I thought.”
“You’ve been there twice, right?”
“Yes. I’ve been there twice.”
“How many zombies have you caught?”
“Three.”
“Is fighting different from what you thought?”
“Yes. When I watch games or movies, I don’t get tired even if I fight all day, but if I stab a spear into a zombie’s head once and then remove it, I get dizzy.”
Jaeyoung looked down at her palm in a daze.
It won’t be that easy. Although she is said to be as good as dead and a zombie that came from somewhere, she looks human.
It is completely normal to feel pressure when stabbing a spear into the head of such a zombie.
Since I am a possessed person, I have experience as a Cyan Raven, so I can mitigate this, but wouldn’t it still be difficult to fight humans with 100% Ician?
That’s why 20% of Yu Xian is left behind.
Since I couldn’t give a proper answer, I tapped Naeun.
As if Naeun understood what I meant, he began to speak his mind.
“I also exercised regularly, but once I took down a zombie, it took a lot of strength. That’s normal. And even if my body is tired, I can move a little more when I think about the people I have to protect.”
“Does your older sister… Protect your older brother?”
“I’ve already protected you a few times, right?”
“Maybe three times?”
“So no matter how unhelpful you may seem, you are probably helping without knowing it.”
“Is that so?”
Naeun’s words definitely brought life to his face.
Since I’m still young, I have the potential to develop, and once this zombie outbreak is over, I have to return to my daily life.
‘It’s not yet clear whether normal life will return.’
After talking with Jaeyoung, we sat in the supermarket and spent some time looking at our smartphones.
Just in case, I searched for evolved zombies that behave strangely, but except for evolved zombies that react sensitively to light, they were all shrouded in mystery.
Considering that the evolved zombie you fought the first time was different from the evolved zombie you fought the second time, it seems like there would be differences between the evolved zombies, like synthetic zombies that were completely different, but such information was not posted.
Is it because I can’t observe it for a long time? Is it difficult to save your life if you meet him?
“Sian, look at this place. It’s like a fortress.”
“I see. How did they make it like that?”
Naeun showed me a photo he took of a group’s base in a foreign country.
The first photo was an abandoned castle in the forest, and it showed the process of development as each day passed.
Someone who owns heavy equipment must have joined in and even used an excavator to repair the castle and create space to bury zombies.
However, looking at the photo from the 8th day, the castle showed signs of major collapse, so it looks like he was burned once by a synthetic zombie.
Photos from day 9, following day 8, showed the broken castle being restored and zombie corpses being burned.
“It must be very safe.”
“Can’t we make the supermarket stronger?”
“The leader has to take care of that. The supply of materials is not that good here. There is no heavy equipment.”
Many of the materials used to reinforce that castle were wood.
When I think of the forest, I think of university again.
What is the situation there now? Has the zombie outbreak that occurred inside been brought under control?
‘My nose is three dicks.’
I’m going there tonight to investigate, but I don’t have time to worry about other places.
“Let’s eat and get ready.”
“Yes. I have already prepared my mind.”

After finishing the meal, I returned to the office.
“Okay. Let’s burn some calories.”
Naeun said as she was warming up that she was worried about her weight since she had a delicious dinner.
“Okay. Do whatever you want until the sun sets. When the sun goes down, I’ll turn off the lights.”
“Is it good to do that meditation at night or in a dark place?”
“Both?”
“Okay. I’ll keep it simple.”
She waited for the sun to set while watching Naeun exercise with her bare body for about an hour.
The sun set a little after 7 o’clock and Naeun finished her workout.
After turning off the lights, I gathered mana into my body in the dark through skill link.
*
The fortune-telling breakfast was successfully completed without interruption.
I fumbled with her hand to find and check the smartphone. The time was now 11:40, and it seemed like the day would go by if I woke up Naeun, who was sleeping, and got ready.
“Naeun, wake up.”
“Huh? Ugh. Are you finished?”
“Yes. If you go in a sleepy state, you’ll be in big trouble.”
“I’ll wash my face and come back.”
When Naeun went into the bathroom to wash her face, I also did some stretching to relieve my stiff body from meditation.
As she was relaxing the muscles of her entire body, Naeun came out, moisturized, applying lotion to her face.
“It’s not past 12 o’clock yet. Are you going? Then today?”
“There’s no big difference, right? Let’s go.”
What I brought was a baseball bat and two spears, and Naeun brought a lantern and a spear.
She came out of the car wash office and walked slowly along the patrol route with Naeun.
“Not long ago, didn’t you say that Korea’s streets at night were that safe?”
“Yes. The whole world is at equal risk right now.”
“Because there are zombies walking around like that.”
Naeun saw the zombie standing blankly in the middle of the patrol road and held out the lantern to me.
“I’ll catch it. Baseball bats make a lot of noise.”
After hearing the story, she checked for presence and found no other zombies.
Still, it is always important to help Naeun gain experience.
When Naeun, who had been sneaking around without the zombies noticing her, came into range, she quickly threw out her spear.
Puuk
The sharp spear pierced the zombie’s head in one go, and she used both her arms to twist the spear so that her brain was ripped out.
Isn’t Naeun really talented at fighting?
Even when using a baseball bat, he performed quite well from the first fight, and even when switching weapons to a spear, he showed smooth movement.
“Naeun, you can encourage patrol.”
“Really? Do I have talent?”
“Yes. I feel rewarded from the massage.”
I walked along the patrol route led by Naeun, an experienced female warrior.
A few more zombies appeared along the way, but I arrived near the area in question without lifting a finger.
Since I had to step forward from now on, I handed the lantern to Naeun and expanded my presence awareness.
There was something that prevented presence detection.
Let’s check what it is.
