Chapter 219 – Zombie Apocalypse 3 (4)

The zombie outbreak was not caused by a virus as seen in the movie.

This is because of great magic that seems to be playing with the world of warlocks who transcend class.

Zombies containing contaminated mana were dropped all over the world, and the zombies infected people by biting them or spread the contaminated mana through long-term contact.

Even though the man in room 102 of the officetel used a condom and had sex with a zombie, he was infected even without direct physical contact because it was not a virus but mana.

Although it is easier to transmit through direct contact, the contaminated mana, which can easily pass through a rubber membrane, instinctively spread towards the living creature.

The supermarket also operates an incinerator, but when you go near it, you can feel something sticky in addition to burning corpses.

People at the supermarket instinctively felt something was wrong and stopped going there when the incineration started.

“I’m not sure about this, but people get a little violent when they’re influenced by the ‘bad stuff’ coming from zombie corpses. Burning them to death or leaving them somewhere far away is the answer.”

“Yes. I also saw people at the officetel where I lived becoming strange. There were also zombie corpses piled up in the yard.”

My guess and what Naeun experienced were combined.

When two people say this, you have no choice but to believe the person listening.

“Really…? Is it because I’ve been living in a dormitory far away from zombie corpses? I’ve become strange too, right?”

And what came to Jeong Hye-ju seemed to be fear.

I perceive myself as the only normal person among my colleagues who are becoming abnormal, but I never know when I might turn violent like them.

“Hyeju, then you want to graduate from university?”

“Yeah… I don’t want to stay in a place that has no food and is at war with other places. Furthermore, I just want to live.”

Jeong Hye-ju spoke as if she had clearly made up her mind about Na-eun’s question.

Recently, when a zombie appeared inside, he began to place more importance on his own survival, and at least he doesn’t seem to want to get involved in this incident.

“Are you targeting Hyorim High School after it has been supplied?”

“If there is a problem at the shelter, supplies may not arrive. I think so.”

“But can you fight? There are police and a lot of people there.”

“We have a lot of secretly dangerous substances…”

“Ah…”

Naeun slurred his words.

There are many dangerous chemicals hidden in universities.

As I was passing by on the street, I saw a large storage box and thought it was something, so I came out and looked into it, and it seems like the memory of that time came back to me.

The lab assistant came and got angry and told me not to touch this.

How dangerous is it to just use such a waste solution? Since I have such a weapon, I don’t think about fighting anywhere else.

“Will it be difficult… ?”

Jeong Hye-ju spoke to us in a dejected voice.

“Jeong Hye-joo, will you have time to escape?”

Jeong Hye-ju thought about my question for a moment and then said.

“Hmm. It seems difficult right now. The entrance to the university is completely blocked, so it’s hard to sneak out.”

“But if you disappear during the war, will they think you killed or kidnapped them?”

“Because we’re not that good at keeping track of people. That would be better.”

“Then, please find out the exact schedule for tomorrow and let me know then. I will start organizing the route to the university starting tomorrow.”

“Thank you. I will count on you.”

After the call ended, Naeun said to me.

“If this happens, war will inevitably break out?”

“I just don’t have to go to the supermarket, but I don’t know what will happen. It’s still like that now, but how extreme will it become as time passes?”

“If I do that, won’t I turn into a zombie?”

It’s easier to deal with that side because they lose their reason.

It’s easier to blow up the heads of people running towards you with red eyes than a group of crazy people throwing chemicals in bottles.

“First of all, the problem is how to tell this to the supermarket.”

It’s a problem that we can only bring in one person out of so many universities, and the bigger problem is that a war will break out between Hyorim High School and the university.

I haven’t exchanged contact information with the patrol team that came before, so I’ll have to let you know tomorrow.

“Sian, I want to practice more. It will be more helpful later than not doing anything, right?”

“Okay. I’ll help you.”

Naeun corrected his posture to train Yeo-Gong again, and I sent him Yin attribute mana.

I also like the easy-to-learn Neegong Simbeop.

Using the Yeonyeongshingoku (連影神功), I absorbed mana from the shadow and opened my eyes.

Naeun was already asleep, but in order to make sure she fell asleep, a sleep magic circle was engraved on her body so that she could sleep soundly.

I decided to take a look on the way to the university by myself, so I used a spirit mask to cover my presence with a shadow and left the car wash office.

The supermarket’s patrol team took a break for an hour while building the barricade, but since they patrolled in the evening, there will be no zombies coming to the car wash.

Still, I’m worried about Naeun, so I have to go quickly and come back quickly.

I left the supermarket on foot at a brisk pace.

Unlike how I usually walk slowly while paying attention to my surroundings, my steps when walking alone and with a purpose were twice as fast as usual.

I used presence detection at first, but the zombies couldn’t recognize me because of the fighting spirit, so I stopped using it.

Is this because they use mana with negative properties similar to contaminated mana? Even if the zombies don’t recognize me, it would be better to deal with them.

I made a dagger of an appropriate size and threw it at the zombie’s head with rotational force.

Pergeok.

I easily killed one zombie, but the surrounding zombies just gathered around the zombie that made the head-smashing sound, not me.

I felt like throwing a shadow dagger to deal with it, but since Isian’s body has little mana, I decided to use it efficiently.

It was a long, long sword, made using Shadow Craft, so I swung a very sharp long sword.

As my pure physical ability was the strongest among my possessed bodies, I was able to cut off a zombie’s head like tofu with just a high-quality weapon.

After cutting off the heads of three zombies at once, I got rid of the long sword and headed back to the university.

The entrance to the university was clearly blocked.

It seemed like there was no one guarding the entrance as the entrance was completely blocked by piling more objects on top of the car blocking the entrance.

‘Did you get help from a student or professor who had a car?’

Students can also own a car, but since most students live in dormitories, I think the possibility is low.

Or, it is possible that an outsider came to the university in a car at the beginning of the zombie outbreak.

‘Shadow Dive is the best for situations like this.’

There is a problem with my clothes coming off when I turn my body into a shadow.

Since it would be difficult to solve the problem without specially made clothes from the Raven family, I decided to just use my body.

I used Shadow Craft to create a spear of an appropriate length, and while running, I stamped the ground and easily crossed the entrance.

Now that we’ve successfully infiltrated the university, let’s see what they’re up to. But not everyone is sleeping, right?

First, the first thing I used was the presence detection boost.

Skill Link-Boost

Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功). Presence detection.

Presence Detection Boost

As the wave of heat spread, people on campus began to be checked.

There were no people in the building at the entrance to the university, and many people were gathered in the two buildings.

A library and a gym? Since there is a large store in the library, I thought it would make sense to gather around there, but I don’t know about the gym.

By the way, Jeong Hye-ju said, I heard that the food warehouse was burned down?

Since the library was closed, I decided to go there.

We arrived at the library along a path littered with zombie corpses, and the lights were on and people’s voices were leaking out.

She stayed close and overheard what was being said.

“Hey. Do you think everything will go as the chairman said?”

“I don’t know. Fuck, I’m doing this because I have nothing to eat.”

“Hyorim says there are a lot of people there.”

“Aren’t they mostly old people? We should kill them all.”

“That’s right, why do we need to fight among ourselves?”

“Tsk. Even if the baby is not dissatisfied, I take it out one by one.”

“So, how many people are hiding there right now?”

“You must be over 30?”

“Thirty women? How many holes are there? Damn it.”

“If you work hard at just two, you can take on them all in one day.”

She was finishing her story about the president and the people in the dormitory.

Has the student council president become the president of the school? I haven’t seen anyone’s face since I was in college, but I don’t think they voted for the person who would create this situation.

“What are you doing when you’re not sleeping?”

Then a new voice was heard.

“Senior, aren’t you sleeping?”

“I came down after pulling a cigarette. Someone to smoke.”

“Let’s go. I don’t have many cigarettes left.”

And when the men in the library moved to come out, I decided to move to another place.

There was a person upstairs in the library, but when I expanded my presence detection a little wider, I saw that there was almost no movement, so I guess they were sleeping.

Why do so many people gather in the library and gym when there is a nice space called the dormitory?

Were the reformists and the moderates initially divided around those two areas?

I took steps towards the gym.

There were a lot of people here too, but everyone seemed to be sleeping.

Even if you’re a college student with a lot of stamina, you don’t seem to have the energy to laugh and talk until dawn in this situation.

‘I took the time to come scout, and it would be such a shame to end up like this?’

I sneaked into the university at night and found out that there was a person called the president.

And at that moment, a combination flashed in my mind.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Presence detection.

Unlike the waves of heat that were emitting, a shadow slowly began to spread out around me.

And what the shadow read was not movement or heat, but the cloudiness of the mana it had.

Although I felt it most from the corpses of dead zombies on the side of the road, I found a place where people with equally murky mana were gathered.

Is that a clubroom over there? That seems to be the place where the university’s troublemakers gather.

‘He looks more like an assassin than Cyan Raven.’

With that in mind, I went to the clubroom.
