Chapter 227 – Zombie Apocalypse 3 (12)
***
Ji Sang-soo looked at the corpses of zombies spread out before his eyes in a daze.
“This is really…”
Two people solved it.
Ji Sang-su swallowed his words because a patrol team other than his subordinates had also arrived.
“Let’s drop as many zombie corpses as possible and go find supplies! Everyone get down!”
The people on the truck got off and started moving the zombie corpses away, and Ji Sang-su joined in the work and recalled what had happened a little while ago.
He controlled the school rooftop and confirmed the location of the fight through his subordinates and cell phone cameras.
There were two people who appeared at that location: Yoo Si-an and her girlfriend Naeun.
The two people who were slowly walking towards the zombie kissed briefly and Yu Xian disappeared for an instant.
There was a blurry line in the camera, and I lifted the camera a little further along the blurry line and looked at where the group of zombies were, and the picture was also a little blurry.
She could see that Yu Xian, who charged in alone, was frantically cutting down her zombies in some way, but the sight was blurred to her.
“Is there anyone who can get a good picture?!”
“It looks strange to me too!”
“Captain, I don’t think the camera is broken!”
All members of the group experienced the same phenomenon, and Naeun, who joined a little later, showed his spear skills by stabbing a zombie once and killing it.
She can do the same techniques that Yu Xian used with her one hand.
The monster couple quickly killed all the zombies and ran towards a blind spot where we couldn’t take pictures.
A little while after the two people left, the blurry camera returned to its original state.
When taking pictures of other places, the pictures were taken as normal, so I guess Yoo Sian must have done something?
“If anyone took a video, please delete it.”
As Ji Sang-soo spoke, all of his subordinates began to put down their smartphones.
“I won’t do anything that will get me noticed by those people.”
“The world is like this, can’t even the police protect us?”
Ji Sang-soo smiled bitterly after hearing those words.
The flashback was broken by a worker’s shout.
“Ugh! Fuck! There are living zombies too!”
I thought they were all dead, but it looks like there are living zombies among the decapitated zombie corpses.
All the workers turned their heads to the place where the person shouted, and a zombie crawled out and appeared.
I got out of the car and did as I was told without much thought, but if you think about it, wasn’t confirming and killing the priority?
Now that I think about it, it seems like the kid who gave the order is the one who came to the scene for the first time this time because he wanted to impress the pigs?
“That bastard got bitten!”
“Run! No! That guy’s eyes are rolling! Kill him!”
“What the fuck…”
When I saw the situation getting worse after a worker was bitten by a living zombie, I wanted to kill them all.

“Ugh… My back hurts…”
Naeun woke up, twisting his body around.
“Did you sleep well?”
“No. My back hurts a little. I can’t sleep in the chair.”
Naeun got up from her seat and moved her waist back and forth, loosening her body.
“Sian, what time is it?”
“It was a little after 7 p.M. The sun had almost set.”
“If I go to the supermarket, it will be after 8 o’clock. Ugh… Ha. Sian, please touch my waist.”
“Okay. Come here.”
Naeun walked towards me while walking backwards, and I massaged her sides and waist with the heat created using Yeonyeom Shingong.
“Ah. Tsk. Tsk. Good…”
While giving a back massage, Naeun made an obscene sound as if she was being caressed.
“Did Hyorim High School recover the materials?”
“You must have done it, right? Time has passed like this.”
I thought it would be okay now, so I took my hand off Naeun’s waist.
“The only thing you can bring to a PC room is a computer, right?”
The computer is secured with a lock to prevent theft, but since there is no one guarding it, the storage box can be broken.
But since we only have a laptop, should we say that we don’t really need it? I use it anyway when I watch YouTube on a slightly larger screen.
“Big screen? Should I just bring a monitor?”
The monitor in the PC room is much larger than the monitor on the laptop.
If I just bring one monitor, wouldn’t it be okay to use it in a car wash office?
When I got up and checked the monitor, I saw that it was a model that could be connected to a smartphone with just a USB cable.
I unplugged the monitor cable and the power cable and put the two cables in Naeun’s gym bag.
“Are you really going to take that with you?”
“I thought you would handle the fight on the way back. I’ll carry the bag too. Naeun, let’s go to the supermarket.”
“Okay. Listen carefully. You can’t just carry it around, and it breaks down, right?”
Naeun also knew that it would be better to watch videos on a larger screen, so he didn’t tell him to put down the monitor.
I took the monitor and slowly came down from the PC room.
I couldn’t fight because I was carrying a large baggage, but Naeun walked behind me with presence detection deployed in case there were still zombies left.
Now that there is no random generation of zombies, you only have to clean it up once, but since you don’t know what’s going on outside the patrol range of the supermarket, you have to be careful in areas outside the patrol range.

We arrived at the supermarket when it was completely dark.
I put down the monitor I brought and plugged it in, and the screen turned on, so I think I can use it without a problem.
“Naeun, boil some water. I’ll call Seongtae.”
“I understand. I’m hungry.”
As Naeun took off her protective gear, took out the gas burner, and started boiling the water, Seongtae Choi answered the phone.
“Mr. Xian, I received a report that you have returned.”
“It looks like the people at the entrance to the supermarket checked. Yes, I’m back.”
“Okay. Rest well.”
After finishing the short phone call, I sat down next to Naeun.
When I sent some heat to the side of the pot where the water had not yet boiled, bubbles began to bubble up.
“Can you cook rice with that?”
“Wouldn’t eat be difficult?”
It needed to radiate intense heat for about 30 minutes, but Lee Sian did not have that much mana.
I was able to fight as if it were daylight today because I learned a new skill called Yeonyeomshingung, which allows me to recover the power after use. Otherwise, I would have run out of mana the moment I dug into the center and swung the spear towards the head.
Since it wasn’t night, I wouldn’t have been able to momentarily absorb mana from the shadows using the Yeonyeong Shinkuk.
While Naeun took out two ramen noodles from the food box, put them in, and waited for the ramen noodles to cook, I connected the smartphone to the monitor.
Why is it so cool that it is several times larger than the small screen? A feeling that I couldn’t feel even with a laptop came to me.
“I should have looked for the television rather than the monitor.”
But there was no end to human greed.
After some time, the government will begin planning to retake the city under the leadership of the government, but shouldn’t we refrain from looting supplies?
I don’t know if it’s a true apocalypse situation with less than 1% of the population left, but at least 40% are still alive.
“Sian, is there anything bright? They’re all zombies.”
Naeun said after looking at my YouTube main screen on the monitor.
There were all videos related to battles with zombies.
I’m going to eat now, but I can’t leave something like that on.
So I searched for travel videos and was able to find a video of a drone camera scanning a good tourist attraction.
There were no people, but there was some nice background music as the drone filmed a very peaceful and nice view.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery on a big screen definitely made me feel at ease.
“Sian, wouldn’t it be difficult to travel to a place like that now?”
“If I reveal my power and become respected by everyone on Earth, wouldn’t they at least lend me an airplane?”
“It’s okay. Let’s just go on a trip to Korea together. The ramen is ready.”
I also took my eyes off the monitor and sat down next to Naeun and ate some boiled ramen together.
Naeun, who had filled her stomach, lay down on the bed and fell asleep as soon as she washed up, perhaps trying to ignore the fact that she had slept in an uncomfortable place.
Due to the effect of combat sleep, I recovered a lot of my stamina even on the chair, so I had some free time, so I decided to aim for growth through a fortune-telling breakfast.
Especially since I used a lot of mana today, wouldn’t the effect be better?

The morning of the 15th day of the zombie outbreak dawned.
Naeun and I washed our faces and headed to the supermarket in the morning.
While eating rice balls prepared for people who are used to eating three meals a day, I waited for new information from various people at the supermarket.
And it seemed like someone had found some new information.
“If this gets hit, isn’t it a big deal?”
“That’s right. It’s like being stabbed in the foot by an ax that you completely trusted? Hey, Mr. Xian!”
I was sitting with Naeun when two men approached me.
“Yes. Did you find something?”
“This was posted by someone who is said to be a government whistleblower, but the content is not clear.”
I received the smartphone and slowly read the contents together with Naeun.
[The plan to recapture the city is currently impossible; there are evolved zombies in several parts of the city with a large population, so it is on hold until guns can be used.]
[All manpower and materials were ordered to protect water supply and power plants, but some power plants are not far from fuel shortage.]
[There are no more supplies to send to official shelters.]
“The government’s situation doesn’t seem to be very good.”
How can I deal with evolving zombies, but isn’t the biggest problem the power plant?
I guess it would be very difficult to go back to primitive times when electricity disappears? I felt like I had to move if there was anything related to the power plant.
“Yes. At this point, it means that you can survive on your own. If there is no government support, isn’t it anarchy?”
“That’s true as well. Since it’s the supplies to be sent, I guess they’re saying they’ll leave behind the supplies they need to survive?”
Welfare and such are policies that allow one to live comfortably.
I have no intention of criticizing that.
“I understand first.”
“Yes. If there’s anything else good, I’ll come find it.”
Choi Seong-tae can collect the information, but I missed out on this and went back to the car wash with Naeun. I felt sorry for the people who were looking for good information for me.
Should I spend some time here in the morning?
But after a while, Choi Seong-tae called everyone in the mart together.
