Chapter 235 – Zombie Apocalypse 3 (20)

In the early days of the zombie outbreak, when I was heading to Naeun’s living room, I saw a crazy person riding a motorcycle.

At that time, zombies appeared out of thin air at will, and my combat power was slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person.

But for now, it would be enough to fight enemies while riding a motorcycle with a body that can be said to be transcendent of this class.

Also, I am learning a good walking method called the split step, but to be honest, I can’t say that it is very efficient because I run while dissipating the heat.

Any other body overflowing with mana would be able to handle the mana consumption, but for Lee Sian, it was impossible.

But the problem is that when I say two-wheeled vehicles, the only ones I have ridden at the gym are cycles… What will happen?

Wouldn’t accidents be avoidable if we use calmness and insight?

First, I called Seongtae Choi.

“Seongtae, we have arrived.”

“Is that so? What about him?”

“It looks like he was bitten by a zombie. There were a lot of zombies near the repair shop. He left a will telling him to use things however he wants.”

“Is there anything inside that we can use?”

“Wait a minute.”

He said as he came out of the office and looked around the repair shop.

“There are things like welding machines, cutting tools, and even tires. I don’t know much about cars, so I’ll take pictures and send them to someone who knows.”

“Yes. Then I think I can make a sufficient judgment.”

“How about a patrol team or a supermarket?”

“I didn’t receive any special contact, but since I’m a veteran now, there won’t be any accidents. The supermarket is also fine.”

“Then I’ll send you a photo and come back.”

“Yes, Mr. Xian.”

After finishing the call, I turned on the camera and took pictures of everything in the repair shop.

“Sian, there’s almost nothing to eat here.”

Naeun slowly walked out of the office, probably looking for something else.

“I was stuck in an auto repair shop, risking everything to do something with my car, but I may have ended up suffering from food shortages. No matter how strong the vehicle was, I couldn’t do anything if there were a lot of zombies nearby.”

Let’s say you arrive at the grocery store with a nice vehicle.

But isn’t there a way to get into the grocery store while suppressing the crowds of zombies?

If your surroundings are not organized, the hardest thing to do is to get off a fast and good means of transportation.

However, he must have driven the finished car to his satisfaction, so it seemed like he left a big will.

Like the man on the second floor of the officetel, ‘I’m scared because I’m infected.’ It wasn’t the same thing, but it was a will to hand over everything in the repair shop to the person who found it.

‘I don’t think there’s anything to call a will?’

After all, it is natural for the person who finds the unclaimed material to keep it.

In the old days of Korea, if you left something behind, you could find it, but now we live in a world where even what the owner is holding is taken away.

I took pictures with the camera, switched to video mode, slowly filmed the inside of the repair shop, and sent the photos and videos to Seongtae Choi.

After looking up how to drive a motorcycle on the Internet, I found two black helmets and gave one to Naeun.

“Sian, are you going to ride a motorcycle? Really? You’ve never ridden a motorcycle before, have you?”

“I just studied.”

“Huh…? Wasn’t that all I just looked at on the internet?!”

“You drive the car I’m driving? And when I looked at it, it seemed like it was an automatic, so it would be fine for me to drive it.”

“Motorcycles are several times more dangerous!”

“It’s okay, there’s no car to hit anyway.”

“There are zombie corpses all over the ground and there’s nothing to hit!”

If I say that, I don’t have anything to say, but I’m thinking of using one trick to ensure safe driving.

“Let’s give it a try. You let me go to the zombie horde?”

“Ugh. Really. If you say that, I have nothing to say.”

The iron door was lifted and secured, and the motorcycle was taken out of the repair shop.

I put on a helmet with Naeun, sat on the motorcycle, applied the brakes, inserted the key, pressed the button, and the engine started.

Feeling Naeun holding my waist tightly, I gently pulled the handle like I had seen before.

A motorcycle moving slightly faster made almost no exhaust noise.

“There’s less sound than I thought?”

“Yeah. Isn’t it different from a delivery motorcycle making a loud noise?”

If you see him modifying his car like that, does he have good mechanic skills? I ran toward the supermarket, thinking it was a bit unfortunate that I had lost such a person.

It was surprisingly easy to balance on a motorcycle when I rode it for the first time. Could this also be a result of my enhanced physical abilities?

As I increased my speed a little more, Naeun said while hugging my waist tightly.

“Quick! Watch out for the floor!”

“It’s okay. I already prepared it.”

I used Shadow Craft to create a shadow blade on the guard attached to the front wheel of the motorcycle.

The shadow blade, which is sharp enough to be similar to a bone sword, will cut through anything it touches, allowing you to run while ignoring zombie corpses.

Still, I plan to run while being as careful as possible.

“Ugh… Why are you driving so well!”

“I told you, right? I’m just running because there’s nothing to bump into!”

In this world, it was enough to be able to change direction, accelerate, and decelerate appropriately.

What? Can’t you say that’s everything?

After quickly returning from the ride, we passed through the entrance of the mart and parked our motorcycles in the parking lot.

Naeun took off her helmet, shook her head once, smoothed out her hair with her hand, and looked at me with a slightly strange expression.

“Why? I don’t feel well?”

“No. I drove it better than I thought.”

“I was lucky. Still, planes and ships would be difficult, right?”

These two things were difficult to practice even after I was released from possession and returned to the Global Academy.

It seems like the Student Support Office will provide support if you say it is necessary to clear the quest, but I hope that doesn’t happen.

“I hope that doesn’t happen.”

My thoughts and what Naeun said matched, so I burst out laughing.

We returned to the mart and headed to the customer support office, and the man who made iron windows at the mart was inside.

“Mr. Xian, you are back.”

“Yes. Did you see the photo I sent? What do you think?”

“I was saying that if you think about it, you don’t need to modify so many vehicles, you just need one vehicle that can lead the cars behind.”

“I watched a lot of modification videos, and it seemed like all we had to do was have the car he was driving.”

Since you said that too, would it have been better to just drive that car? I rode a motorcycle and rode it, but I have the car keys.

“The car didn’t look that good. I think it needs some maintenance. Can you do it?”

“I don’t know much about cars, but wouldn’t it be okay as long as there are no major problems driving it?”

Because we are not going to continue traveling by car.

All you have to do is make 3 or 4 round trips from here to Unit 524, and you will have done everything you need to do.

“Okay. Let’s go together after lunch.”

At that time, Seongtae Choi said to me.

“Mr. Xian, there is something I would like you to do separately in the afternoon.”

“What is it?”

“Could you please visit Unit 524? I kept looking for information about the unit and its surroundings with the people at the supermarket, but I couldn’t find much helpful information. I think the surrounding area was completely devastated in the early days of the zombie outbreak…”

A road is being cleared with Unit 524 as the destination, but is there currently no certainty about that location?

Since I can’t let this nonsense continue, I thought it would be a good idea to check it out properly.

“Then I should go and see it.”

“Thank you. It would be difficult to ask anyone else but Mr. Xian.”

Other people can do it too.

What if we gather 30 people, pack a lot of food, and make a plan for a few days?

I can do that kind of work by myself in half a day, so I need to work efficiently.

And once I settle into Unit 524, I won’t have to work much.

Let’s move for that time.

After lunch, when we were getting ready to go to where Unit 524 was located, Naeun put on his helmet and sat on the back seat of the motorcycle.

“You can go alone.”

“If you had said you weren’t going on a motorcycle, would you have sent me alone?”

Running on two feet saves gasoline and is faster, but it didn’t seem like a bad feeling to explore in advance like this.

The people at the mart said they would go to the repair shop in the afternoon and pick up a remodeled car, and we’ve cleared the road to get there, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.

I said I would take a car to get back quickly just in case, so I guess I’ll take care of it.

I left the entrance of the mart with Naeun on the back and ran toward the south.

The patrol route cleared by the patrol team every day was clear of zombies, and the road cleared today while clearing the road to Unit 524 was perfectly cleared, so I was able to run without hesitation.

‘But I can’t ride it like a horse.’

I briefly considered steering a motorcycle with one hand and swinging a sword with one hand, but my hands weren’t empty.

Naeun said to me while I was running, thinking that it would be better for Naeun, who was holding me, to do something.

“It’s better than I expected.”

As an active woman, Naeun seems to have quickly grown to like the feeling of speed on a motorcycle.

“Naeun, do you want to practice later too?”

“Can I do it?”

“Of course it’s okay. Just don’t cause an accident.”

“Like you said, there’s nothing to bump into?”

“Yes. That’s right…”

The moment Naeun heard those words, the atmosphere of the area in front of her changed as if it were a lie.

She slowed down and parked her motorcycle on the side of the road.

“Naeun, is it a bit dangerous here?”

There was a time when a department store close to the supermarket was turned into a dungeon.

On the way to attack the department store, a modified car passed by and took out the zombies in the department store, so the attack was thwarted, but I know the atmosphere and feeling of the place well, having been there twice.

It felt like polluted mana was dominating the area, like a department store or a cave where a goblin shaman attacked with Cyan Raven.

I became strongly convinced that the second evolution zombies were definitely here.

“Even if you say that, I won’t go back alone.”

“Okay. Then, stick close behind me and follow me.”

“Yes. I also do my part, right?”

Naeun and I stepped into the polluted area.
