Chapter 238 – Zombie Apocalypse 3 (23)
I opened my eyes.
How much time has passed? I confirmed that Naeun was sitting on the rooftop door and dozing off.
The place where I lured the zombies before I fell asleep… ?
I got up from my seat and went to the direction where Naeun had thrown the items, and saw that a building had been completely covered by zombies.
Originally, the 2nd evolution zombies would have given the order to disperse, but after gathering, they did not disperse.
‘Has the new master of the realm not appeared?’
I checked the surrounding situation and took out my smartphone.
In preparation for when I use the shingle wheel, I kept it in place, so it wouldn’t fall out of my pocket, so it didn’t spill even when I moved at full speed.
I think I woke up at 5 PM after sleeping for about 3 hours and was in pretty good shape.
Although her mana recovery was not complete, her stamina seemed to be fully restored.
【Skill: Survival Rules (S)】
【Acquire the abilities necessary for survival.】
【One. Calmness – Brain rotation speed significantly increases in crisis situations.】
【2. Perception – Can read the opponent’s movements. When activated, mental power is consumed.】
【3. Combat sleep – sleep quality improves and stamina recovers very quickly.】
【4. Presence detection – When you concentrate, you can sense changes in your surroundings.】
【5. Homeostasis – Resistance to disease becomes very strong.】
【Surviving is not everything.】
【EX1. Savior – Has an indomitable will when there is someone to protect.】
【EX2. Guardian – When there is a place to protect, it has an iron body.】
The survival rules that became S-class skills increased in efficiency in addition to having a guardian.
Calmness has also been changed to a significant increase in brain rotation speed, and the amount of mental power consumed when activating Perception has been reduced.
Combat sleep also changed to recover very quickly.
If my physical strength was completely depleted like today, I should have slept well for about 6 hours, but since it was reduced by half, I could feel it quite well.
Regardless of whether I was possessed or not, I was very satisfied with the improvement in efficiency because I was using the basic survival rules well.
And the newly acquired skill, Guardian, had subtle conditions like Savior.
When there is someone to protect, a place to protect.
In the case of humans, it was possible to satisfy the conditions by taking Naeun with us, but what about the place that needs to be protected? Where is Naeun by any chance? Or can it be used in a broader sense?
‘Both are skills needed in extreme situations.’
If you weren’t possessed by Yi Xian, you couldn’t see that effect.
The rest of his body is strong enough to blast away a shadow lance, so it can be said to be a suitable skill for Lee Sian.
I carved a magic circle of sleep on Naeun, who was sleeping leaning against the rooftop door, and made sure she fell asleep.
After confirming that Naeun was completely asleep, she lifted the spear she was holding in her arms and quietly placed it on the floor, hugging Naeun and creating a magic circle of silence.
And when her magic circle of sleep was destroyed, Naeun woke up.
Naeun, who was in my arms, blinked her eyes and looked around to understand the situation, then let out a long sigh and was about to say something, but she was quiet.
Because Naeun knew why his voice wasn’t coming out, he touched his neck with his hand and lifted the magic circle of silence.
“Sian, are you awake?”
Naeun spoke in a very quiet voice, and she responded with a kiss.
Then Naeun slightly put out her lips and kissed me.
I quietly repeated the kiss several times without making a sound, and then stood up with Naeun.
“We have to escape first. In the end, we have to destroy them all.”
I thought that even if the 2nd evolution zombies disappear, if there are still zombies in this land where the contaminated mana is thick, they may suddenly appear in droves as evolution zombies.
I need to organize it, but I don’t have enough mana yet.
Even if you want to fight while maintaining two wheels, like when dealing with the zombies that attacked Hyorim High School last time, the place itself is not very good.
If the polluted mana is used in a dense zone, the impurities will continue to come in to the point where it will be difficult for her to bear it, and her retention time will be too short.
In order to open the way to Unit 524, this area must be purified.
‘Other military units aren’t like this, right?’
There are about 13 days left until modern firearms are unlocked, but what if zombies are so encamped that you can’t enter the military base?
I think you need a tank to deal with these zombies, but I understand that tanks are also included in modern firearms and have been sealed.
First of all, she wanted to talk more comfortably with Naeun than think alone, so she unzipped her gym bag and looked for a cup that was comfortable to throw around.
“Let’s throw it and run away.”
“Should I get carried away first?”
“Okay.”
Naeun packed her luggage and put her on my back, and while I was carrying Naeun on my back, I burst into tears and threw the cup.
Clang!
“Aaaaah!!!!”
When the cup I threw made the sound of breaking the window, eyeless zombies started screaming and running towards it.
Other zombies will also gather when they hear that sound.
At that time, I immediately turned back and stepped on the wave path to get out of the polluted area.
*
Although I left the contaminated area, there were quite a few eyeless zombies that approached me, attracted by the sound of my footsteps.
Since I’m planning to ride my motorcycle back to the supermarket, it would be a good idea to kill those who are sensitive to sound.
“Sian, they’re slow.”
As Naeun said, the zombies slowed down as Naeun got off my back and immediately picked up his spear and took a stance to fight the zombies.
And although Naeun was a bit far away, he spoke loud enough for me to hear, but I couldn’t respond.
Is it possible to have hearing that surpasses human hearing in a polluted area?
If you think about it, if you had come this far on a motorcycle and had the hearing ability to see from the inside, you would have come running to catch us right away.
“It’s okay. It would be helpful to come out to some extent.”
“Yeah. I don’t even want to see so many zombies anymore.”
When I started the motorcycle, eyeless zombies started running towards us.
Naeun said as he pulled the throttle and sped toward the supermarket.
“Sian, it seems like you’re running faster. Is it because you’re not wearing a helmet?”
“Should it be similar or a little slower? It could be because of the wind I feel on my face.”
“Really? From what I heard, it seems like it was because of the wind.”
Although I’ve only ridden it a few times, I arrived near the supermarket on a motorcycle that gave me a good sense of speed.
On the way to the entrance of the mart, avoiding the barricades here and there, I could see people at the mart cleaning modified cars at the car wash.
“Hello. Did you bring it?”
“Ah, Mr. Sian! I was using the car wash as a car wash.”
“Yes. That’s right. Was there any problem?”
“I didn’t do anything except get off and clean up some zombie corpses on the way. The car seemed to be okay, so I got some gas on the way back. Don’t you need to fill up the motorcycle with gas too?”
“That’s right. But I guess washing the car takes a little long?”
I think it’s around 6 PM now? Don’t you have to eat?
“Almost done. We have to eat dinner!”
“Then let’s go to the supermarket first.”
*
After eating dinner at the supermarket, I talked to Choi Seong-tae about what happened today, and he seemed quite surprised.
“How much is too much for Mr. Xian to handle?”
“It was over 10,000.”
“10,000…? There are a lot of them. And they are all stronger than regular zombies and have a wider detection range.”
“Yes. If you talk like that when you’re in that area, about a hundred of them will come.”
“Is this an area that can be recaptured? It might be a good idea to find another unit now.”
“I think I’ll have to go back a few more times. This time, I used too much effort to kill the guy who could be called the boss, so I wasn’t able to reduce the number properly.”
And I thought it would be better to go alone.
If the number is appropriate, it would be a great help for Naeun to take care of one or two, but there are too many.
“Then how many days do you think it will take?”
“Three days. Let’s finish it in that time.”
“Okay, I trust you, Mr. “Xian.”
When I finished talking with Seongtae Choi and left the customer support room, Naeun, who had been silently listening to our conversation, poked my side and said.
“Isn’t three days too short?”
“It’s okay. I’m thinking of cutting it in half tonight.”
“Go alone…?”
“Because the other person isn’t that good this time.” I’m with Youngeun at the supermarket today.”
“No. I’ll be waiting at home.”
The office of a car wash is a place that cannot be called a home, but for some reason the word home gave me strength.
*
I arrived in the contaminated area alone in the middle of the night.
I ran while stepping on the paddle wheel, but it didn’t seem to make that much of a sound because I was wearing a Yeongtu (影套).
I released my martial arts skills and pulled out my bone sword as I crossed the border.
Skill Link-Boost
Shadow Mastery. Presence detection.
Presence detection – wave
The wave of heat spreading around me found zombies nearby and groups of zombies further away.
But you only need to find one.
Everyone was gathered together, but I approached the zombie who was alone, making a lot of noise.
“Kwawa ahhhhh!!!”
Is it because I show it off too much? Even though I was quite far away, an eyeless zombie ran towards me while screaming.
I sensed many zombies coming toward me as I sensed a wide presence.
“Thank you. Goodbye.”
The head of a zombie running towards me while screaming was cut off with a single sword, and the range of presence detection was moderately reduced.
“It’s my first combination.”
Skill Link-Boost
Shadow Mastery. Wave ring resonance
The rings of shadows within the body began to resonate with each other.
As the negative attribute mana filled the body, it began to give strength to the body.
And when I felt that my mana was being consumed quickly, I used the skill again.
Skill Link-Boost
Shadow Mastery. Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功).
Yeonyeongsingong (連影神功).
While absorbing the mana that the shadow possessed, the contaminated mana was also absorbed in the same time.
There was no burden on the body because the positive energy generated by absorbing the contaminated mana was neutralized and absorbed by the negative mana.
However, the mana of the shadow is disposable.
‘The Flame God’s Blade is strong when fighting without moving. What if the nature is reversed?’
I’ll come find you before you guys come.
