Chapter 19 – Zombie Apocalypse (16)

When we returned home, we decided to wash our hands and feet thoroughly and have the most important meal.

“Let’s eat ramen.”

“I came to my boyfriend’s house, so should I just eat ramen and leave? But the house I’m returning to was destroyed by some people, so I guess I’ll have to keep living here.”

Naeun tried to respond with a weak sex joke and got a little angry at the situation a little while ago.

It’s okay because you’re not angry because of me.

“I cooked yesterday, so today, Sian, you cook. Cook delicious ramen.”

“I’ll boil it well according to the recipe.”

I took two bowls of ramen out of the food box, then put water in a pot and boiled it.

Since we have leftover rice from yesterday, we can just eat ramen and the leftover rice.

Naeun climbed onto the bed in the clean area of ​​our room and started tapping on her smartphone.

“What are you going to do?”

“We should upload short videos and connect with our friends. If that random generation thing goes away, wouldn’t it be better to stay in a group? I think we should think about it a little too.”

Naeun first told her story about her group.

The internal disintegration caused by the zombie drop, which could be said to be the group’s weakness, has virtually disappeared.

Since I said it was random, I can’t be completely reassured, but the situation is much better than before.

Then, we have to deal with the seeds of the plague that have tripled, so the more people there are, the better.

If unit-level zombies come, you have no choice but to deal with them as a unit.

As the water started to boil, and I added the noodles and soup, a thought occurred to me and I said it to Naeun.

“Why don’t you pack your bag? You packed something.”

After hearing what I said, Naeun frowned and said.

“I took the rest of my clothes and some, but I just wanted to throw them all away. I 100% think they did something strange. I brought them to dispose of them.”

“Should I spray it in room 101?”

“It’s the official dump. Please do me a favor.”

After putting all the noodles and soup in, I took the bag Naeun had brought with me and went down to room 101 and poured the trash inside the room.

To be considered trash, it contained things like underwear and socks with little patterns that were meant to be worn while exercising. After mixing them with household waste, I looked around the house.

Although it was still a garbage dump, it was clear that Jung Jun-ho had sourced materials from here, including the heavy refrigerator and curtains.

As I was taking out the trash and going up the stairs, I saw a woman coming out of the house carrying a white bag.

A total of 8 people are currently in the officetel and have been confirmed.

Among them, there are five men, and two of them, me and Jeong Jun-ho, number 104, I don’t know very well.

The women are Naeun, Room 106, and that woman in the three people.

Looking at the location, it looks like he lives in room 205.

The woman who made eye contact with me bowed her head and greeted me, and then she returned home.

After gently stirring the ramen, I turned off the fire and called Naeun.

After Naeun sat on the chair and took some ramen, I ate it too.

As expected, the taste of instant food is the best!

“I’ll need a fire to eat ramen next time. Should I really collect books?”

Since everyone takes useful supplies first, I thought there would be books and newspapers full of them somewhere.

How long will people be able to survive if they start living without fire, electricity, and water?

“The supermarket doesn’t seem to care about that. Because they have abundant supplies.”

Seeing that Naeun keeps mentioning the supermarket, it seems like he has feelings for her, but I think I need to think about it a little more.

After eating lunch and filling my stomach, I was about to spend some time in bed when I heard a loud voice outside.

“We are recruiting survivors at Star Mart! People who can fight! People who can do chores! Everyone, please gather at Star Mart!”

“Those crazy people?”

They were promoting it so loudly that it could be heard even on the third floor.

Even if they say they are confident that they can deal with the zombies that are gathering, that is not in line with commercial ethics.

I went out into the hallway with a baseball bat and looked down to see about 10 people walking around with weapons.

“When I asked, they said they decided to gather people like that. It’s okay to gather now, right?”

“Naeun, have you heard that saying? When five people gather, one of them is trash.”

“Yes. I think I’ve heard of it.”

“If 50 people gather, it could become 10. If it gets too big, there will definitely be people who approach with malicious intent, right? It’s not even 2 days since the zombie outbreak occurred. That’s not enough time for the existing group to disband. . Groups for survival and groups for profit may clash.”

“That may be possible. But wouldn’t 40 people be able to beat 10 people?”

“What if I have 10 people?”

“Ah. It’s going to be difficult. But our Xian is not trash~”

Naeun wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me from behind, and we went back home like that.

If zombies come, kill them all in the hallway.

After getting up on the bed, I checked the fight that was filmed on Naeun’s smartphone.

Although it was a fairly short video, I was able to see how I move when others see it.

After running towards the target, he swung the bat at a speed that was almost invisible.

And when I stopped and looked at the detached zombie’s head, its jaw was completely crushed.

“So is this hope?”

“I guess there aren’t that many people who can take down a zombie with one hit, right?”

The status window doesn’t mean much, and I only grew a lot because of the quest, so it wasn’t a normal case.

I think we should also look into insight.

As I watched Naeun working hard on his smartphone, I also wanted to visit the community site.

I skipped through the general articles and searched for articles that were highly recommended, and I found some useful information.

It was an analysis of the direction of movement of large-scale zombies, and was well-marked by drawing lines on the map.

There are currently four large-scale zombie units known in Korea, two of which are headed to Busan and two to Seoul.

I have no idea how big it will be when it arrives.

It was impossible to calculate the number of people infected and the seeds of the plague joining the group.

If you can survive 29 days and use modern weapons, will you be able to turn the situation around?

Looking at another article, I found some useful information.

[I guess flamethrowers aren’t modern weapons? Roasting zombies ㄱㄱ]

Rather than using a commercially available flamethrower, I attached a video of a zombie being burned using a DIY method. It seemed okay to make and use it as long as it is not a modern weapon that is banned.

But that also requires materials.

The other article was an analysis of the conversation between the world and the Lord of Plague that had occurred earlier.

‘This might help.’

From the beginning, the seeds of the plague were sown in densely populated areas.

Many zombies appeared in those places, but as people began to evacuate and new crowded places were created, the seeds of the plague were sown in those places, leading to large-scale infections.

As this happened several times and a large group became zombies, the world suggested randomness, and forming a group now became more advantageous for survival.

It’s similar to what I thought, but this person added credibility by posting photos of zombies that have appeared in large numbers overseas.

When I saw a picture of a horde of zombies, I felt sorry for not being able to use magic.

Avon Jack would be able to eliminate a horde of zombies like that in an instant with fire magic.

Wouldn’t Julian Loa’s light be able to eliminate zombies more effectively?

Compared to such extra-standard abilities, my rules for survival were very ordinary.

Isn’t this just the level of becoming a strong person in this class?

‘Ah. I need to increase my combat power because of the quest. Should I exercise?’

Naeun tapped my thigh while I was thinking about ways to increase my combat power.

“Why?”

“I uploaded it to YouTube. Now I can show it to my friends.”

It looks like I ended up uploading a short video of me blowing off a zombie’s head.

I felt a little embarrassed when I saw a large group of zombies fighting against one, but my head also flew a long way.

“It won’t get many views, right?”

From the title, my boyfriend is a big deal! It was obvious that the algorithm wouldn’t be able to overcome it.

“Just leaving it behind.”

After saying that, Naeun turned on the camera in selfie mode, then leaned towards me and took a picture.

It was nice to see a photo taken of two lovers smiling while making a V sign.

“If you really look at these pictures, it doesn’t seem like a zombie outbreak has occurred.”

“Yes.”

Even when I left this bed, the house was full of survival supplies.

It’s only been one day and 14 hours since the zombie outbreak began.

In order to brighten the quiet atmosphere, I spoke playfully to Naeun.

“Na-eun, should we rob the house next door? We originally decided that if you didn’t come back by day, you would be treated as dead. I guess it would be okay?”

“Room 301? Hmm. Really? My house was robbed too. Besides, I don’t think the people here will care much.”

Naeun, who answered with a brighter voice, got out of bed and headed to room 301.

When I opened room 101 yesterday, I was able to open the front door with just a strong amount of force.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

I hit the doorknob of room 301 with a baseball bat, smashed it, and opened the door.

I wanted to remove the front door and block the stairs like I did at the place I visited during the day, but I thought I could just leave the door open and block the back with a heavy object.

Room 301, which opened the door and entered, had no special supplies.

It appeared to be a house where a male college student lived alone, and it was not much different from my room before the supplies were piled up.

“Sian, there is no password for this!”

Naeun was the first to find the laptop, open it, and tell me.

I opened the refrigerator and there was some frozen food and drinks in it.

Since there was such a shortage of food, he went out and had an accident.

“I found a sexy video.”

I kept wondering what he was doing with his laptop, but I was looking for something like that.

“Naeun, I see how humane it is to destroy your laptop.”

I felt sorry for getting angry at Geon-woo and his gang.

It was an act of protecting one person’s human rights.
