Chapter 234 – Zombie Apocalypse 3 (19)

“Hmm… Are you feeling better now?”

In the morning, Naeun went to the bathroom and came back and said.

It appears that my menstruation ended without any problems, perhaps because my encouragement helped.

“I’m glad it ended quickly.”

“I feel like I can go out to the supermarket now.”

In this case, wouldn’t it be better for me and Naeun to visit the biker gang?

At first, I thought about eight people, but the fewer people leaving the supermarket, the better.

“Naeun, let’s go to the supermarket.”

“Okay. I have to go to work.”

I felt like today was going to be a hard day, so I took a nutritional bar out of the box, chewed it, and went to the supermarket.

At the supermarket, people who woke up early in the morning were gathered in the center, and Choi Seong-tae walked as usual.

“Good morning. Fortunately, last night was uneventful.”

Hyorim High School didn’t even come to look for Seo Ye-ji.

I don’t think Ji Sang-soo has contacted Choi Seong-tae either, so I think there’s a high possibility that he doesn’t know.

Or maybe I was thinking of throwing that away too.

“Today, like a while ago, the patrol team will patrol around the mart and clear the road to Unit 524, which is our next destination, so that vehicles can travel. Also, what will happen to the reconnaissance team that was supposed to go yesterday to remodel the vehicle? I think we need to talk about what to do.”

Then I raised my hand.

“Yes, Mr. Xian.”

“We will send more people to the patrol team, and only Naeun and I will go to the scouting team.”

Seongtae Choi nodded, perhaps sensing that I had no intention of hiding my power from the people at the supermarket.

“I understand. If just the two of you, Mr. Xian and Mr. Naeun, move, you will be able to quickly join them if something happens at the mart. Then, two patrol teams will go out at once to clear the road.”

“Okay!”

And Choi Seong-tae talked about reinforcing and disassembling the mart, which is what the remaining people at the mart should do.

If things go well, we will likely abandon the mart within 3 days and move to a military base, so I thought I would organize that.

Even if I can’t get into the military base, I should aim for a land with properly flat land.

It didn’t seem like a bad idea to occupy a university that was currently empty.

*

After we were assigned our tasks, I was given the location of the vehicle repair shop by Taehyung Seong.

“It’s my first time wandering around the university like this.”

“That’s right. It was normal to go to school, eat nearby, go to the gym, and then go to your officetel or go home.”

The repair shop was located near a gas station that burned down at the beginning of the zombie outbreak.

When the first evolution zombie appeared, it seemed like I was avoiding it because the repair shop was not on the road from the gas station to the officetel where I lived.

It’s been a while since it was an officetel, so how has it changed?

Last time I looked, there were supposed to be two people on the 4th floor and one person on the 3rd floor. Are they all alive?

We gathered all our equipment and left the car wash office.

If you follow the road to the right from the supermarket, you will find the officetel where I lived, so I walked slowly.

Now, I can relax as there will most likely be no zombies on the way, but after seeing the ‘bow’, I thought that I should expand my presence detection even more.

Until now, I had been wearing protective gear on my arms and legs in case zombies bit me, but now I thought it would be better to protect vital areas like my chest and head.

‘It will be really difficult once modern firearms are liberated.’

Since I would have to use Shadow Armor to protect myself, I felt like I would not have enough mana to attack.

I am collecting mana by using Yeonyeong Shinkong (連影神功) every day, but I am far from being able to use mana like other possessed bodies.

“There are no zombies and no people.”

Naeun said to me while walking down a quiet street.

“I don’t think either zombies or humans can get over it easily.”

If you have to kill both of them anyway, zombies are easier.

The camping store where I couldn’t find anything except a flashlight with a generator caught my eye, and I arrived at the officetel after seeing a familiar restaurant.

The individualistic officetel wasn’t much different from the last time I found the second evolved zombie, but the entrance seemed to be a little more solidly put together.

Did you fill the hole in the back? Since there was no need to check the condition of my room, I decided not to bother opening the entrance and entering.

And when I used presence detection to check the number of living people, it seemed like three people were on the 4th floor, and the woman on the 3rd floor also seemed to have chosen to be together rather than alone.

I don’t know if it’s voluntary or forced, but the three of us will survive on our own.

And I took out the bone sword from its scabbard.

“Sian, are there a lot of zombies behind the officetel?”

“Yeah. It looks like it’s piled up again since I cleaned it out last time.”

“Whoa… How many times are we going to clean up this place?”

Naeun said as he properly held the iron spear he was carrying around.

“Those people are lucky. Let’s open the way quickly.”

When I went to the back of the officetel along the wall, there were zombies all over me on the way to the gas station.

Last time I checked using the presence detection boost and now the wave, there were a few people alive, but what about now?

I was a little curious, but decided not to check to focus on the zombie in front of me.

“Krrrr’

“Cow wow!!!”

“Ugh. I can’t get used to it no matter how much I look at it!”

There are two zombies running towards us right now, and the ones behind them also started to turn their heads when they heard the zombies moving and making noises.

“Be careful and kill them one by one.”

“I know. Don’t fight too hard.”

Since he is holding a bone sword, the range is shorter than that of a spear, but there is no need to cut off a zombie’s head by using only the spear blade.

Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!

I felt this when cutting the fence on the roof of a building. This bone sword is really sharp.

It was so sharp that it made me feel sorry for naming it the Bone Sword, and it cleanly cut off the necks and upper bodies of zombies.

Originally, they would have focused on stabbing the heart, but since they are zombies, their head is their weak point.

If you separate the head and body, the movement stops.

‘That’s the same for most people.’

The assistant next to me is following along so well that I can only deal with zombies running towards me while thinking nonsense.

Thump!

Naeun exploded the zombie’s head with a single stab with a spear loaded with rotational force and recovered it cleanly to deal with the next enemy.

It seems like my skills are improving day by day, even though I haven’t done any special training except for female skills.

Whenever I get the chance, I try to cut off a zombie’s head with the spear blade I used, but I wish I would refrain from doing that.

Because it is correct to use a sword like this.

Suddenly! Suddenly!

At the same time, I blew off the heads of two zombies and killed the entire group of zombies coming in front of me.

Because we killed zombies by moving forward without stopping in one place, there were more than ten zombies with their heads cut off or their heads exploded piled up along the path we walked.

“It’s hard to keep them away because there are no other people around.”

“I don’t have any oil or lighter. I can’t help it. Let’s go. But since there are no moving zombies around here, it won’t evolve.”

“Okay, I understand.”

After Naeun wiped the spear blade against the zombie’s body, she quickly followed me.

The streetlights on the road from the officetel to the gas station were all broken.

As I walked slowly, feeling the traces of the first evolved zombie I encountered, I arrived at the gas station that had exploded.

There weren’t many scorch marks left around as the zombies passed by, but the gas pump was completely damaged.

I heard that gas stations usually store oil on the ground. Is there anything left after the explosion?

“Sian, the zombies saw us.”

“Okay, let’s take it down.”

While I was looking at the gas station for a moment, zombies sensed people were there and started walking slowly.

A white sword and a silver spear were swung to kill the enemy.

*

After clearing the area behind the officetel and near the gas station, we walked towards our destination, an auto repair shop, and when we saw the scene unfolding in front of us, we had no choice but to hide in a nearby building.

The iron door of the auto repair shop was tightly closed, and a remodeled car was abandoned in front of it.

Rather than saying I threw it away, it would be more correct to say I couldn’t take it.

There were a lot of zombies near the modified car, which was covered in zombies’ blood and flesh.

He was probably driving like crazy and couldn’t shake off the zombies, so he hurried into his home base, an auto repair shop.

Even if you left your smartphone in the car because you were in a hurry, I think there would be a computer in there. Wouldn’t you have been able to get help if you tried to contact them through comments or something?

In any case, seeing as Choi Seong-tae has not made any particular contact, it appears that he is not in contact with that person.

“We need to clean up the entrance first, right?”

“Yes. But there are a lot of people.”

Naeun was a little tired during the two-game series, so I felt like I needed to restore her stamina by giving her some heat.

Or should I go alone?

“Naeun, just rest a little. I’ll come back.”

“I’ll be quiet, so don’t worry about me.”

Naeun shook her iron spear slightly, so she kissed her lightly on the cheek and got up from her seat.

She quickly swung her sword as she ran towards the zombie horde with her bone sword in hand.

Suddenly!

The eyes of the zombies that saw me began to turn red.

“Kweeeee!!!”

As a service to the screaming zombie, I cut off her head.

Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!

I quickly cut the zombie again and again in a trance, keeping a distance so that my hands or head could not touch my body.

I fought while using only presence detection to keep zombies in check who might be aiming for my blind spot, and before I knew it, all the zombies nearby had fallen.

I confirmed that there were no living zombies and expanded the range of presence detection, but there was no sign of anyone inside the repair shop.

“This is so…”

I expected it to some extent, but is this the ending? Would it have been different if I had come a day earlier?

While she was thinking that, she brushed off the foreign matter on her sword.

“Sian, are you finished?”

“Okay. Let’s go in.”

When I lifted the iron door and entered the auto repair shop, I found a neatly maintained motorcycle.

When we looked around to see what happened to the person we were looking for, we saw a zombie corpse with its head broken near the office.

“I guess I was bitten by a zombie.”

“Sian, maybe that person was among the zombies you killed?”

“That could be possible.”

I may not know their faces, but I cut down all the zombies without thinking.

Then, we went into the office, touched a computer that looked used, and immediately found a suicide note written in large letters.

“You can take it all and use it.”

There was a short but clear will, and what appeared to be car and motorcycle keys were placed next to the keyboard.

A motorcycle in a world full of zombies?

“Do you want to ride it?”
