Chapter 21 – Zombie Apocalypse (18)

As I was getting ready to go to the supermarket, putting a spare baseball bat in my bag, Naeun hugged me from behind.

“It’s going to be dangerous, right? Should we not go? Young-eun is Young-eun, and we are us.”

He impulsively asked me to do so, but after thinking about it while packing his luggage, he seemed to realize that it wasn’t an easy task.

Even if I, my boyfriend, have now become a strong person who can take down zombies with a single blow, it is a different story.

Naeun also tried killing zombies, but he did it after recognizing that zombies and people are different.

Because now we are going to fight people, not zombies.

He remained quiet while packing his luggage and seemed unable to speak out of fear that he might put me in danger.

“It’s okay. You say I am hope? I may not be everyone’s hope, but I will be your hope.”

After Naeun heard those words, she relaxed her arms around me.

“But that doesn’t mean I’m sending you alone. I’ll follow you too.”

“I didn’t plan on going alone. When we go out, we have to go together, right?”

All we packed were five baseball bats, a water bottle, several nutritional bars, and a lantern.

Streetlights are still on and visibility is secured, but you never know when the electricity will be cut off.

I used more cardboard boxes to protect my arms and shins.

It seems like you have to be careful with your stomach when fighting people, but what would happen if you use insight well in real combat?

Naeun also finished getting ready, and we came down to the first floor to leave for the supermarket late at night.

It’s a place so indifferent to others that you might think it’s a selfish officetel, but it’s still against etiquette to let zombies inside.

I twirled the baseball bat I was holding and then caught it.

“I will destroy everything in sight. Can you follow me?”

“Yes. I got enough rest while watching the movie.”

Naeun nodded and said.

The moment I came out of the officetel, I ran towards the nearest zombie.

It doesn’t matter if the footsteps are a little loud.

I just need to blow off their heads before they recognize me.

Whoa!

One zombie died from a well-placed blow.

Then run towards the guy nearby.

The zombie noticed me and her eyes started to turn red as a sign of igniting hostility.

Whoa!! Tung. Tudung…

Before attacking, the head flew into the sky and fell to the ground.

When the zombie head that flew far away made a sound, the nearby zombies started moving to the place where the head fell.

I don’t like leaving it behind, do I?

I was thinking about what to do for a moment when Naeun tapped me on the back and pointed in a detour direction.

It’s good to catch everything, but it’s also important to get to the supermarket quickly.

I moved to a place with few zombies while muffled the sound of my footsteps.

I moved slowly, making sure there was nothing making a sound under my feet, and was able to pass by the zombies whose eyes were drawn to their heads.

You can do it with two, but it’s difficult with four.

‘After the random number tripled, there were definitely more zombies.’

The two zombies we just killed were also summoned zombies called Plague Seeds, as green as corpses.

After walking quietly with Naeun, we came out onto a slightly larger street where there were no zombies walking around.

Since this is a major road, there were zombie corpses scattered along the roadside, probably because they patrolled and eliminated zombies.

“It looks like the supermarket PR team sorted it out earlier.”

“Oh, that could be true. It was very noisy. I guess they just promoted it for no reason.”

I don’t know if it means running away after crowding out zombies, but the fact that they collected everything and neatly organized it seemed like the mart team had become a character.

Are you going to eat that kind of mart team raw? You bastards of fire-light?

Naeun and I are walking down the street from the center of the brightly lit street to the supermarket. Rather, I think it’s safer here because I’m more scared of zombies suddenly popping out of stores on the side of the road.

“I thought there would be a lot of zombies, but there are few?”

“Yes. I guess everyone gathered there because of the commotion that occurred at the supermarket?”

“That could be possible.”

Naeun, who usually followed behind me, stood next to me and talked.

It’s definitely not a battle right now.

I held the baseball bat with my right hand and held out my left hand, and Naeun shyly held my left hand.

“The best situation is if the mart team defeats the fire-light group and takes care of all the zombies. Then, we only have to go to the mart once at night.”

“So what is the worst situation?”

“The fire-gwang faction overpowered the Mart team, and many of the young men on the Mart team were killed by zombies.”

“I think it would be good to know the exact number of members of the Fire Light Sect.”

Since he didn’t know what would have happened to Young-eun, he decided not to message or call.

If we are caught asking detailed questions, it will be a very difficult situation.

Because they won’t understand that there are two reinforcements, actually one.

I arrived at the intersection I came to yesterday as well.

From here, if you go left you will find a mart, if you go straight you will find a department store, and if you go right you will find a university.

It seems like our officetel is really far from the university.

Although the room was small, Naeun’s room was closer to the university.

It would have been best if the facilities were good and the school was nearby.

I had to go to the supermarket, so I took the sidewalk on the left.

As we walked, being careful of any zombies inside the building, we could see the supermarket we were aiming for in the distance.

But even from afar, the situation looked pretty bad.

There were about three layers of zombies gathered at the entrance of the supermarket, which was somewhat fortified.

I never thought there would be so many people gathered together that individual force would not work.

It was natural that we wouldn’t meet any zombies on the way.

Young men were reducing the number of zombies by stabbing their heads with spear-like weapons, and it didn’t seem like they would be reduced easily.

“How do I enter the supermarket?”

“I think it would be nice if we could lure them in.”

“Being able to make loud noises…”

It seems like the safest way to lure zombies is by using the alarm on your smartphone, but it would be a shame to spend it now that communication is available.

Or two baseball bats?

If you put it in a bag and throw it far away, the two will collide and make a sound loud enough to attract zombies.

“Not everyone will come if you make noise, right?”

“Wouldn’t only things that are far away come? Because there are people right in front.”

I slowly moved my body to the nearby stairs where I could lead a 1:1 match, and then hit my baseball bat against the baseball bat Naeun was holding.

Kaaaaang!

A clear sound rang out as the aluminum collided.

When Naeun saw what I had done, he silently opened his mouth wide, but as soon as he came to his senses, he started firing rapidly.

“Are you crazy?! Us! I told you before that we were more important!”

“Only four zombies were dragged in. Because they didn’t hit too hard. And I dealt with four of them at the department store as well.”

However, there were four zombies being dragged in, but the people at the entrance of the supermarket who were stabbing spears at the zombies’ heads seemed to be more embarrassed.

Do you think there’s a crazy guy luring zombies nearby?

What? Is that me?

I erased random thoughts and focused on the approaching zombies.

It’s a bit dark, but the zombie somehow found us and dyed her eyes red.

“Four.”

“Tell me after you catch it.”

“I saw a path.”

Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

The heads of the zombies closest to me exploded one after another.

The blunt technique that brought me closer to a one-hit kill definitely helped.

And when the last zombie’s head exploded, after hearing the sound, some of the group at the entrance fell out.

It’s worth dealing with like this.

I was using a good weapon, a long, sharp spear, but unlike the guy at the supermarket who stabbed me in the air three or four times and then stabbed me in the head once, I didn’t waste any movement.

Stay calm when you are within striking distance of the baseball bat.

Pow!!

Swing to kill the enemy.

The next zombie started to come closer.

But suddenly this thought occurred to me.

‘What happens if you hit a boat?’

Even the hardest skull will explode in one go if I swing it with all my might.

If you hit a boat, will it split in half or fly away?

Or can I control it?

The zombie running this time had slightly short arms, so he thought it was worth a try.

Instead of taking the stance of slashing with a sword, he stepped forward in the stance of a batter hitting the ball.

Then he swung the baseball bat.

Instead of swinging hard, I just swung quickly and hit the zombie’s chest before applying force.

I thought it was quite heavy, but I was able to fly the zombie.

The zombie flew through the sky and landed on a lump of zombies at the entrance of the supermarket.

“What! Did a zombie fly?!”

“Why the fuck are you like this today? A crazy bastard like a flamingo is coming and zombies are flying around too!”

This doesn’t seem to be a particularly good method.

It caused confusion for the people at the entrance of the supermarket, and some zombies who had been hit by the zombies’ free fall began moving towards me.

“Is it a person?”

“He’s the one who sent the zombies flying?”

It seemed like only then did the people at the entrance of the supermarket discover me carrying out a guerrilla war.

After slightly waving my hand, I ran to explode the head of the zombie coming towards me.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

In times like this, if there was a quest to kill zombies, I think I would have completed it quickly.

It’s a combat power quest that doesn’t go up very well.

As I killed more than ten zombies, I began to see the number of zombies crowding the entrance slowly decreasing.

As the people holding the spear began to see the end, they must have come to their senses and their accuracy increased.

“Haa… Haa… What’s with the zombies? Why are you suddenly doing something you don’t do before?”

Naeun, who ran after me, said while struggling for breath.

“Because you want to try it?”

Somehow, after committing, I thought that this would also help in increasing combat power regarding the distribution of power.

Until now, I have continued to wield weapons to train or kill.

Even when I was sparring for the final exam at the Global Academy, I swung my sword to kill, but I just fell before the attack reached me.

Control of force.

I thought that would be a factor in increasing combat power, so I brought up the status window.

【1】

In the meantime, it has risen quite a bit to 8.

Considering that it took about 3 months for Yu Xian’s body to increase to 40, Lee Xian has grown by 8 in a short period of time, so he is progressing really well.
