Chapter 20 – Zombie Apocalypse (17)

Although my relationship with Naeun is so close that we watch pornographic videos together using the laptop in room 301, for the sake of a proper sex life, I boldly deleted them and started searching for and watching regular movies.

It would be nice to be able to see something on a big screen.

After downloading a lot, I continued searching for Room 301, but found nothing worth salvaging.

Men’s clothes don’t fit me in size, so I thought it would be okay if I gave them to Naeun even though they were a little bigger, but I said I didn’t want to wear other men’s clothes.

I think I should just use it as a mop or process it into something like rope.

The only thing salvaged from room 301 was a laptop, but I think it was important to secure space.

Our house was so full of supplies that there was no space to rest except for the bed, but here you can sit on the floor.

I thought it would be better to sleep at home and spend the morning and afternoon here.

“Should I spend some time here?”

“Isn’t it a bit weird that the door can’t be locked? Let’s just download this and go back.”

Although the path from the stairs to the third floor and the path to room 303 are blocked, it is a bit difficult to leave the door to this room open.

We even broke the doorknob.

I quickly gave up on living a double life because I felt that it would definitely be uncomfortable if the two people expressed their affection in an open way.

I’ll have to use this as a trash can later.

While I was waiting for the movie to be downloaded, I heard another loud noise outside.

“We are looking for survivors at Star Mart! Come to Star Mart, where there are plenty of supplies and manpower! Ouch! It’s a zombie! Catch it!”

“I’ll catch it!”

“Wow!”

And then the sound of zombies being beaten was heard.

I briefly turned my head outside, as if he was putting on a show, and then looked at Naeun, who gave me peace of mind.

“Those people are stupid.”

“I guess you think it has grown to a certain extent now. Ask your friends. Wouldn’t it have been over a hundred people?”

“Wait a minute. Let me ask you something.”

When Naeun sent a message, a reply came quickly.

“Now we are in group 1, but I don’t know exactly how many people there are. They say they are receiving a lot of money today?”

“There are quite a few people who are deceived by that show. If either military force or supplies are lacking, it would be better to join forces.”

I searched room 301 again and confirmed that there was nothing there, then Naeun and I returned to room 302 with drinks.

After drawing the curtains and turning off the lights, I played a movie on my laptop and spent some time quietly.

I worked hard yesterday and today, so wouldn’t a break like this be okay?

A thought crossed my mind that I should exercise to increase my fighting power.

I’ll have to go to room 301 later and do some exercise.

*

Today, when Naeun said that she was going to room 301 to exercise while she was cooking with chicken breast, she pouted her lips.

“I want to join you too.”

“After dinner, let’s do some bodyweight exercise to digest the food.”

“Okay. Are you going to do other exercises after that?”

“What if dinner is delicious?”

“Okay. Shall we use more ingredients to make it more delicious today?”

But Naeun followed me to room 301.

“Huh? Why are you following me?”

“I’m going to use the remaining ingredients in room 301 first. You can block the path with the refrigerator, right?”

“You’re also a housekeeper?”

On her way to room 301, she looked down through the hallway window and saw quite a few zombies loitering around.

Although she saw a lot of zombies that looked like corpses, she also saw quite a few that looked like they were infected.

Was the random triple wavelength this much?

I couldn’t imagine what it would have been like for a country with a large population that had been heavily bombarded with the seeds of plague.

When I saw Naeun returning home with leftover frozen dumplings, I started doing push-ups.

‘My body is too light?’

Perhaps because of the effect of improving physical ability, exercising with one’s body was very comfortable.

I started doing burpees to increase the intensity a little more, but if I repeated this, my endurance would only increase a little more, and I didn’t think I could make up for the remaining fighting power.

Is the situation similar to that time when no matter how hard you trained your body at the Global Academy, your combat power did not reach triple digits?

The combat power required to clear the quest is 500, and if you look at the status window, it is 483, so there are 17 left. If doing bodyweight exercises to raise that level is not efficient, should I practice more?

If you raise the level to level 4, you will probably get the answer, but then you have to go down again and kill the zombies.

I think it will go up a bit if I clean it up before more zombies gather, but I wanted to refrain from leaving Naeun behind.

I just kept doing burpees until I started sweating, and when my body warmed up enough, I took a shower and went back to the room.

When I returned, the combat power I checked was still 483.

Dinner was similar to yesterday: chicken breast with red pepper sauce and grilled dumplings.

“I think dumplings will become very high-class food in the future.”

“Now that I think about it, there are a lot of ingredients, right?”

How many ingredients are used just for dumpling skin and dumpling filling?

Unlike chicken breast, which can be eaten if the chicken is raised well, it contains a variety of ingredients.

Since we had a delicious dinner again today, Naeun asked me to wash the dishes.

“I’ll do it since I have something to eat, but are you going to room 301?”

“Yes. I’ll use it as a physical training room. I’ll go first and work out~”

I quickly finished washing the dishes and moved on to catch up with Naeun, who had gone to room 301 to exercise first.

I followed along with Naeun who was doing squats, but the amount of exercise wasn’t enough for me to want her body to grow like I felt when doing burpees.

“Haha. Haha. Sian, were you always this physically fit? You didn’t even break a sweat.”

“It seemed like exercising with you was harder and more enjoyable.”

I said this without thinking, but I thought it was definitely more difficult that way.

I felt like I could do burpees, squats, and push-ups indefinitely, but I couldn’t think of sex like that.

Is it because sex is an act of bonding with someone?

I thought that if I had to have sex to improve my combat power, I would make it feel good, but I also needed to learn to see.

If you can use Insight properly, I think your combat power will increase significantly.

I left Naeun, who was catching her breath after doing some squats, for a moment and brought a baseball bat from the room next to her.

Naeun took the baseball bat I held out without thinking.

“Do you want to swing this at me?”

“Have you ever thought about using violence against your boyfriend?”

Naeun picked up the baseball bat, thought about it for a while, then held it with both hands.

I think I can swing it with one hand, but isn’t that too serious?

“Dodge well!”

Boowooung

Naeun swung the baseball bat at me.

Perhaps because I lost some of my strength, it was slower than when I killed zombies during the day.

She stayed calm and waited until she got as close as possible to activate the insight, but the bat stopped.

“I went there, why didn’t I avoid it…”

Naeun, in tears, lowered the baseball bat below his waist.

I guess it’s too much to ask your girlfriend to do something like this.

“I’m sorry. I was wondering if this could be a clue to growth, but our Naeun was this kind.”

I tried to hug Naeun in my arms to comfort her, but the baseball bat came up and stabbed me in the chest.

“I just worked out and sweat a lot. Take a shower and give me a hug.”

After saying that, he handed me the baseball bat and went back to his room.

‘I could just activate the insight, but it’s harder than I thought.’

The calm that is activated in a crisis situation, it seems that the moment your brain speeds up using that calmness, you need to activate additional insight to read the other person’s movements.

I thought it was an active skill that could be activated at any time, but it seems to be a more restrictive skill than I thought.

In some ways, it has to be like that because it is a type of future prediction?

When I went back to the room and waited for a while, Naeun came out of the bathroom, moist after taking a shower, and I hugged her for a moment.

And as she was sitting in bed watching a different movie than the one she had seen during the day, she thought she would be having a pretty good holiday as long as there were no zombies outside.

Naeun wriggled and groped my abs, and I also gently stroked Naeun’s butt.

As we were concentrating on the hands touching each other’s bodies rather than the content of the movie, Naeun’s smartphone rang.

“Huh? Wait a minute?”

I paused the movie and Naeun answered the phone.

“Young-eun, why? I decided not to call…”

Is Young-eun a friend of Na-eun whom I have met?

As I searched through Lee Sian’s memories, a woman named Choi Young-eun came to mind.

Naeun, Young-eun. As much as her name was similar, I also remembered that she was like a sister to me in college.

I was thinking about Choi Young-eun for a moment, and Naeun changed to her speaker mode with a slightly serious expression.

“Our fire-gwang faction protects the supermarket?!”

“You recruit people like that during the day, and then you discriminate against people!”

“Please be quiet for now!”

“You just have to kill all the zombies, right? I’ll join you!!”

“Anyone who has ever used a fist knows this well. We have more practical experience than you!”

“It’s night! Not a good time to fight zombies!”

It seems like gangster-like people have invaded the supermarket.

A person who appears to be the leader of the supermarket asks the gangsters to lower their voices, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

“Naeun, what should I do? I think people will fight among themselves.”

Choi Young-eun said in a low voice.

“Don’t you have more people? How many of you can fight?”

“Uh… About 40 young men? But those Buddhist sect people are asking for women and saying men should be in higher positions.”

“Are you saying that men might fall for it?”

“Yes.”

“I guess they thought it would be comfortable for a while if they occupied it because there were a lot of supplies, women, and men to work.”

“Xian, Young-eun is listening.”

When I calmly spoke from the perspective of the Buddhist faction, Naeun scolded me.

“Ah. I was with Sian…”

“So, if there are zombies, they should accept us, right? Hey, break the window!”

“Fight! If you get hit by zombies or those bastards, run after them! Kill them!”

“Aaaaah!”

“You’re crazy!!”

At that time, the phone call was disconnected.

“Sian… What should we do with Young-eun…”

Naeun spoke to me in the weakest way I had ever seen her.

Even in times like this, does calmness kick in? My head seems to be spinning a little faster.

Even if Mart and Bulgwang fight and Mart wins, zombies will come because of the commotion.

Even if Bulgwang wins, he will drive the people in the supermarket to their deaths to stop the zombies.

In the end, you have to catch the zombies that are coming.

“Let’s go. Let’s go catch zombies. If the fire-light group is still alive, we can catch it as a bonus.”

Because the moment I decided to endure 5 days with Naeun instead of surviving 5 days alone, it became no one else’s business.
