Chapter 217 – Zombie Apocalypse 3 (2)

I knew I had to escape, but I couldn’t go down to the first floor with Naeun right away.

Among the zombies that were running along the fast-passing cars, stragglers have taken over the streets, and if you go down to the first floor now, you will have to fight endless zombies.

It’s better to go up and get on the roof.

We chose to go up.

The door to the rooftop was tied with a chain and padlock, which was lightly cut using a bone sword.

“Isn’t that really sharp?”

“So I’m going to use it carefully.”

We climbed to the roof of a four-story building and looked down.

“Wow… What’s this because of this really strange person?”

The zombies sealed in the department store burst out at once, giving me a taste of the zombie apocalypse situation for the first time in a long time.

I called Seongtae Choi, who would be at the mart, to relay the situation.

“Mr. Xian? What’s going on?”

“Be careful because a crazy car might drive into the supermarket. If you don’t crash into the entrance, all you have to do is block the zombies heading towards the supermarket.”

“A car?! Where is Mr. Xian now?”

“I went outside to clean up the department store and saw a car suddenly appear and lead a zombie towards the mart. It must have been slowly getting closer to the mart.”

“Ha… It looks like you went out with Naeun. Can you come back safely?”

“It might take a while, but if it’s really dangerous, call me. I’ll get there somehow.”

“Somehow… I understand. First, I’ll have to call in the patrol team that is on patrol right away. Then I’ll hang up.”

Seongtae Choi hung up the phone.

Now, the supermarket will enter an emergency mode, so it’s a relief.

“I don’t think any other cars will come other than that car.”

Naeun seemed to be looking a bit far away.

“Is this a solo act? Looking at the car, it looks like he has some maintenance skills.”

Unlike ordinary vehicles, it looked like it was covered with metal parts.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to drive because I would have crashed into the zombies and destroyed something, but I ran well while hitting the zombies.

“Sian, when you watch zombie movies, they usually escape in modified cars like that, right? Is there a place around here to escape to?”

“Escape… Is there a safe place with zombies like that appearing randomly? I don’t know if it’s a small island where I can handle it alone.”

“It must be difficult to make a living and farm on that small island, right?”

“That’s right. Even if you become Adam and Eve with someone you like, it will be difficult.”

“Even though they are non-religious, they are called Adam and Eve.”

Naeun said with a smile, as if he felt a little more relaxed.

First, what do we need is time? Because I opened the door cleanly and came in, I was able to lock the door leading to the rooftop.

The buildings next to it are also connected to a height of 4 stories, so you can continue moving through the roof of the building by just cutting down the fence that prevents you from crossing.

The road to the building is cut off at the crossing point, but there are fewer zombies there, so wouldn’t it be okay?

I might have to hunt zombies on the stairs for the first time in a while.

“Na-eun, should we go slowly? If we cut the fence, we’ll be able to get to a place with few zombies.”

“Yes. I guess the department store is no longer meant to be.”

I took out my bone sword and easily cut through the fence.

“Sian, I understand why you’re trying to hide it.”

“So, I guess it’s sharper than I thought?”

We arrived at the last building by cutting through the metal mesh like cutting paper and climbing over the building.

The zombies scattered from the department store were evenly distributed as we moved.

Originally, there were few zombies here, but there were quite a few zombies wandering around.

It would be better to make a noise far away and run down.

First, I opened the door to go down and checked if there were any zombies downstairs.

Fortunately, there were no zombies downstairs as the car had come out of the building when it passed by earlier, so I went upstairs and cut the fence again and smoothed it into a ball.

“Na-eun, I’m thinking of throwing this into the building with the glass windows over there. It’ll go down the moment it makes a sound, right?”

“I understand. I know that much now if I just pretend.”

And what should I use to reliably throw a ball made of this fence?

Shadow Circle? Flame ring?

Since it was visible externally, I reduced it to self-control and a good skill came to mind.

Breaking wheel

By exploding the ring of flame created in the Danjeon, the internal power was instantly amplified, creating a power that needed to be used right away.

I concentrated that power on my right arm and threw the ball.

Kwaaang!

Cancankang!!!

The ball made a very loud sound as it hit the building, and the impact broke several windows at once.

“Oops! I threw it too hard! Is it actually better? Naeun, let’s go!”

“Okay! I’ll go down first!”

Naeun quickly ran down the stairs and I followed him.

Perhaps because there was such a loud noise, the zombies on the roadside were focused on the ball I threw, and we were able to escape safely.

*

Phew! Pakak!

Naeun stabbed and twisted the zombie’s head with a neat spear technique, completely stopping it.

After escaping from the crowd of zombies near the department store, the trip back to the supermarket was worth it since I only had to deal with zombies dropped by cars.

Since there weren’t a lot of zombies gathered together, Naeun and I were able to solve it well.

“I can’t forgive that car!”

Naeun retrieved the spear from the zombie’s head and swung it wide to shake off the foreign object.

“Yes, I hope my car breaks down somewhere far away without help.”

“If you want to drive with zombies like that, you might as well become a zombie.”

He pointed out his spear at the zombie that was running at him while speaking ill of the driver.

Purge!

Unlike Naeun, who had to stab and twist, I used my rotational power to pop the head in one go.

Naeun also tried to try it a few times, but strangely, the penetration power weakened when the rotation was included.

So, we clearly distinguished between stabbing and twisting movements.

“If I learn more about female characters, will I be able to does it like you?”

Naeun asked me.

Looking at it now, it seems like Naeun really wanted a way to become stronger like me, but I felt like I gave him too much of a downgrade.

“This will be enough.”

“I’ll have to work hard.”

Since Naeun has a habit of working out at the gym for more than an hour every day, eating breakfast was too easy for Naeun.

I need to keep adding negative attribute mana, so I can grow quickly.

We took our time to chat and went to the supermarket while killing zombies.

When I saw it from a little distance away from the entrance to the supermarket, I couldn’t help but feel angry.

“Those rotten zombies.”

The zombies dragged by the car were not only gathered at the entrance of the mart, but were also gathered around the mart.

The spearmen were working hard to kill the zombies at the entrance, but that wasn’t the problem.

Zombies were stepping on a lettuce field created by sprinkling dirt at a car wash right next to the supermarket.

If I see that car, I’ll throw the window and smash it into the engine room.

I stayed a little away from Naeun and waited for the spearmen at the entrance of the mart to deal with the zombies to some extent before moving forward.

When I slightly lifted the window, Naeun hit the window with good sense and a clear sound rang out.

Chaae Aeng.

Then the zombies, unable to find their opponent, turned their whales towards us and immediately turned their eyes red.

“Krrrr’

“Gwaaaaa!!”

There are five zombies running in total.

I think it’s a bit much to deal with at once, but assuming Naeun will take care of one, there are four.

And depending on the speed at which the four of them ran, they could swing their spears and blow off their heads with a single blow, but the formation was not that neat.

In times like this, I want to use the bone sword, but it’s better to hide it.

Pugh! Purge!

After quickly stabbing and retrieving twice, the two zombies collapsed.

Regardless of whether the comrade in front fell or not, I stabbed the spear again at the two zombies running towards me.

Pugh! Purge!

Phew! Pakak!

While I was taking care of four, Naeun also successfully defeated one zombie.

In the meantime, the entrance to the mart was also completed.

I walked over and checked the field, but I was glad that it felt like zombies had stepped on the garden because the sprouts had not yet grown.

I guess I should put up a fence around the garden.

“What a nuisance!”

“Should we set a trap here? Something that can explode the wheel!”

The angry voices of the spearmen who worked hard to stop the zombies were heard at the entrance of the mart.

“Okay, stop being angry! Let’s drag the zombie corpses to the incinerator.”

At the words of the patrol leader, the iron gate at the entrance to the mart opened, and people in the mart began loading zombie corpses into carts and carrying them away.

We entered the supermarket through the open door and headed straight to the customer support office.

“Are you two here?”

“Yes. First, isn’t it because of us?”

“Mr. Xian would have tried to handle it on his own. I think he was a little let down because there was no one using a vehicle nearby.”

Recently, with the popularity of delivery apps, the number of motorcycles has increased tremendously, but after the zombie apocalypse began, I rarely saw people using them like cars.

Korea is not a large land area like the United States, which can be said to be the main setting for zombie movies, so nearby places can be reached by walking.

There’s no need to drag zombies around when you don’t have a gun.

“You said you went to the department store? You can use what’s at the supermarket, but do you need any supplies?”

“Hmm. A baseball bat? And I thought about a big, sturdy bag.”

Although I am now close to graduating with a baseball bat, I still felt like it would make me feel at ease if I had it.

“I have clothes to wear.”

Naeun continued.

“They are definitely difficult to find at the supermarket. Even if you steal supplies from nearby stores, almost all of them have been used by someone else.”

“The people at the supermarket have a huge dislike for cars. Do you plan to take measures?”

“Should we call it caltrops? I think it would be a good idea to lay something like that, but since it is better to make extra windows with iron, I think it would be better to put up a barricade.”

“Good. How about a car with a barricade?”

“Blocking cars with cars. That’s good.”

“Then, once the zombie corpses are cleared, let’s block the road to the supermarket with nearby cars.”

“By the way, Mr. Xian, can you move the car?”

In some ways, Seongtae Choi asked me a question that should be the most basic.

“A search team will be sufficient.”

Of course, you can do it alone, but it would be better to do it together.

You can think of this as a type of physical training.
