Chapter 15 – Zombie Apocalypse (12)
There were a few zombies coming from the gas station, but there are no more.
After completing the quest, I caught about three more, but the status window showed that the quest was waiting and was not particularly counted.
I was lucky that a series of zombie killing quests appeared at the department store in the morning.
I think I would have been able to learn more about the quest if I had had deeper interactions with my classmates in class Q, but I’m not sure because I’m studying on my own.
The professors were the ones who told students in class Q what they needed, but they didn’t know much about quests.
When teaching students, I thought it would be easier to guide them in the direction required by the quest, so I only trained my body inefficiently to find the possessed body. As a result, the difference in combat power between the possessed body called Isian and the main body called Yusian became this large.
Almost 5 times.
But if there are five Yu Xians, wouldn’t they be able to beat Lee Xians? That’s not it again.
Combat power is close to an indicator of strength and not an absolute number.
‘What is a see-through? It feels like active.’
Due to the improvement in physical ability, the combat power was improved by nearly two times, and the insight was again increased by 1.5 times.
I learned active rather than passive, but it is 1.5x, so how effective is it if I actually use it?
I thought I’d like to try it when zombies come, but the phrase that it consumes a lot of mental power came to mind.
I decided to go home with the thought that I should try an experiment while Naeun was by my side, as I would be in big trouble if I collapsed due to lack of mental strength.
When I entered room 302 on the 3rd floor of the officetel with my fingerprint recognized, there was a deliciously spicy smell of slightly burnt red pepper paste.
“Sian! Are you here? Are you hurt? You weren’t bitten, right?”
My heart felt very warm when I heard Naeun come out of the kitchen and comforted me with a worried voice.
Was this what your girlfriend’s sincere concern felt like?
There were times when Seoyeon worried about me, but at that time, as people with status windows, we were stronger than ordinary people.
The worries in such a situation felt different from the worries I received in a world full of danger.
“Yes. It’s okay. Who am I?”
“I’m done eating, so let’s wash our hands and eat.”
I took off the cardboard box, washed the baseball bat in the shower, and left it standing in the bathroom.
After washing my hands and face cleanly, I ate the grilled chicken breast with red pepper paste and sliced cucumber that Naeun had prepared.
The taste was, well, full of protein, and I felt like it was balanced because there was cucumber.
There was also a lump of rice, as served at a Western-style restaurant, and the rice was so sweet.
I thought it was sweeter than a nutrition bar.
“Is it delicious? Is it worth eating?”
“It’s okay. It tastes much better than when I just cooked it.”
After hearing my answer, Naeun also started eating.
I ate dinner a little early, chewing it thoroughly to see if it was worth eating.
After washing the dishes and cleaning them up, I sat on the bed again, which was the refuge area of my room.
For some reason, Naeun sat on my legs, and it seemed like he was trying to prevent me from going outside.
Doesn’t it seem like gently rubbing my bouncy buttocks is asking for something else?
Although I had some time left, I didn’t feel like going to a meeting after having sex, so I held on desperately.
“Ha. I didn’t know that watching foreign news on a smartphone could be this scary.”
Fortunately, communication, electricity, and water are all still working.
Naeun looked at the situation overseas on the Internet.
Now, it will be night after the zombie outbreak that started during the day…
“There are some places where news updates have stopped.”
Naeun visited several English sites, and there was one where she definitely stopped updating.
“Foreign countries have bigger land, so what happened?”
Since the news site wasn’t working, I went to watch foreign videos posted on places like YouTube.
Although the video was filmed by an individual, it gave us a general idea of what the situation was like in the country where the person lived.
This video was taken from a high floor to the lower floor when it was slightly dark, and the lower floor was full of zombies.
There were more zombies than the military units we saw during the day had become zombie units.
In this situation, can I post an article that requires me to go to work and get it inspected? I was also grateful that such a raw video was uploaded to share the current situation.
“Shall we find a video that gives hope?”
Naeun searched for videos of zombies being killed.
This video is also from overseas, but it came up even when searched in Korean.
There was a video of someone trampling a group of zombies with a sturdy vehicle that looked like it would be used in a rally, and there was also a video of several people catching zombies and beating them as a group.
Naeun, who was looking for a few such videos, said while deleting the search term.
“I think it was better to see Sian blowing off a zombie’s head in one go.”
“Really? If that makes you feel better, can you film it next time? Let’s upload it too.”
“I think it’s okay once.”
“But I won’t go out any more today. You shouldn’t go out either. There are no supplies outside anymore.”
I held Naeun, who was complaining, and laid her body on the bed.
“What time is it now? How long until 8 o’clock?”
“There are about two and a half hours left.”
5:30, should I take advantage of this awkward time and take a nap?
As if Naeun had read my thoughts, I set the alarm for 7:50.
“Are you going to sleep?”
“Yes. Let’s do that after we get back.”
“Pervert.”
Naeun put her smartphone into the charger and then held it in her arms.
Let’s close our eyes for a moment. Anyway, the quest I have to do now is to pass the time.
*
“Xian, the alarm went off.”
Naeun shook me and woke me up.
“Oh. Already?”
I think I was more tired than I thought.
I really slept like the dead.
It was definitely dark outside now, so I got out of bed and warmed up.
I don’t think I’ll ever fight with people, but I took the baseball bat that I regret not having anymore and put on my shoes.
Naeun also followed me holding a baseball bat.
Jung Jun-ho must have heard us opening the door and came out.
“Hello, Mr. Lee Sian?”
“Yes. Junho Jeong, did you rest well?”
“Yes. If we can’t get more supplies, we have to save energy.”
Naeun bowed his head in silence, and we went down to the front yard.
There were people who came out first and there were people who came down after us, but when everyone gathered, there were 8 of us.
Since Naeun came out with me, is he only using room 7?
Perhaps because he thought everyone had left, the man in room 104 with his messy hair cleared his throat.
“Hmm. Hello. This is Room 104, where we have all gathered. The reason I called you here was to make a few promises. Seeing that everyone has decided to stay in the officetel, I am confident that we will last until the 30th, which can be said to be the time for humanity to fight back. I think there is a solution, but the goal is to prevent conflict until then.”
I think that part is okay, too.
Because remaining here means there are numbers left.
“But there may be a shortage of supplies. You may consume them faster than expected. That’s why we check unoccupied rooms. Of course, you may have taken all the necessary items with you when you went out, but there may also be people who left them behind. Yes. For example, securing things like laptops and clothes that can be used as firewood.”
“There’s a chance he’ll come back, right?”
A woman with long brown hair raised her hand and said.
“What room is it?”
“Room 106.”
“Ah. It’s the next room. So, I’m thinking of leaving it until noon tomorrow. Assuming you stop wandering around at night, if you plan on returning home, you’ll come back by noon tomorrow, right?”
The man in room 104 presented an opinion that seemed reasonable, but the woman in room 106 didn’t seem to like it.
Then, after taking a deep breath, the woman in room 106 spoke.
“Did you see her take away the corpse of a female zombie yesterday? Isn’t she trying to open the room where the woman lives and change her clothes? Like pervert.”
The moment others heard the cold woman’s words, silence settled in the front yard.
The man in room 104 started to breathe a little harder and the others backed away little by little.
“Fuck. That’s right. Rather than masturbating alone and waiting for this apocalypse to end in virginity, you said you would rather have sex with a corpse than a woman! Did I rape a woman? You said you would just use the corpse of a woman with her head completely blown off! Fuck. A bitch who pretends not to know and moves on, and won’t even pay for it.”
The men in room 104 felt a little pity at the words of the man in room 104, which suddenly changed the mood.
However, the woman in room 106, another woman, and Naeun looked at each other with disdain.
A man raised his hand and said.
“Hey. Let’s just look at the women. Don’t you feel sorry for them? Fuck. He might get infected while having sex and become a zombie himself. He said he’d try to fuck like a man. Furthermore, he said he’d solve it quietly on his own, right?”
Naeun pinched my side tightly.
It seems like they’re telling me to send out doctors who oppose me, but I’m not denying that at all.
The other men’s opinions were in favor of looking at it, and even I, who was keeping my mouth shut because of Naeun, had a 4:4 opinion.
The men were giving me subtle looks, so I felt like I had to finish the job by turning the female zombie into a corpse.
“Did you know that having sex can turn you into a zombie?”
“It’s not like you’re fucking a living zombie, it’s a zombie corpse. I saw a post about some guys already doing it.”
“Do you know what room she is in?”
“Room 101.”
“Okay. Since the owner is definitely dead, we will open room 101. Instead, we will all open it together and take care of only what you want, clothes, underwear, etc. We will share the rest.”
“Xian? You’ll allow it? Really?”
Naeun asked as if quite surprised by my words.
“If you’re going to do this, do it in your room and make sure the door is securely locked. Lock it so that even if you turn into a zombie, you can’t unlock it. If you walk around outside as a zombie, I’ll blow your head off like that woman did.”
With that agreement, we broke down the front door of room 101.
The woman in room 101 didn’t tend to keep her room clean, so the room was like a garbage dump.
The man in room 104 found a closet, packed his clothes and underwear, and then disappeared as quickly as possible.
The men gave up searching because there was nothing to salvage from the garbage dump, and the women returned with some cosmetics.
Naeun was muttering as he came up to his room.
“It’s dirty. If I’m not satisfied with the corpse, I think I’ll rape the women. Isn’t the woman in room 106 a little dangerous?”
“That’s right. But now that I know, I’ll keep the door closed.”
And then the quest came out.
『Quest』
〈Get deep sleep within the time limit.〉
-Remaining time: 1:59:59
-Upon completion: [Skill] Survival Rules (E) Enhancement
What? You just woke up? Is there a way to use up stamina quickly?
Then Naeun, who was still muttering, came into view.
Aren’t you in the mood to do it now?!
