Chapter 241 – Zombie Apocalypse 3 (26)

One big factor was the decision to move before conducting proper research.

‘I want to sleep in bed.’

A mart is a place that sells goods.

A situation in which people sleep on blankets or mattresses on the floor without proper beds, and the spaces between men and women are separated by curtains or something like that.

Even if the base was moved to Unit 524, there would be some group living, but the accommodations were better than those at the supermarket.

First, everyone can sleep on the bed and there is also a personal locker where you can store your belongings.

Since the mart accommodates 60 people, there is enough space to use only the 2nd and 3rd floors, excluding the 4th floor, which is inconvenient to go up and down.

The men who had been on patrol at Unit 524 told this to the personnel remaining in the mart, and around dinner time, everyone insisted to Choi Seong-tae that they move to the barracks immediately tomorrow.

Choi Seong-tae smiled and answered that he would do so if the relocation preparations could be made quickly. The people at the mart voluntarily began moving and loading supplies onto trucks at night, and in no time, we filled our two 1-ton trucks.

If you think about moving supplies, wouldn’t a 1-ton truck be able to move all the supplies in three round trips?

At night, preparations for the first round of material movement were completed and the lights in the supermarket were turned off.

“If you think about it, we also left the supermarket right away. I understand.”

Naeun, who was listening to the commotion in the building next door, leaned his head on my shoulder and said.

“If you think about it that way, the 4th floor… Has a high possibility of being that kind of space.”

The number of men and women secretly exchanging feelings at the supermarket has increased.

Naeun’s friend, Youngeun, was also seen talking to a man often. What if she was given personal space?

I believe that birth control is something you think about and communicate with your body.

I have another method, but since Naeun treats condoms like the most precious treasure in the world, I just skipped it again today.

“First of all, I think we need to make a decision regarding Seo Ye-ji before we begin the relocation process today.”

Choi Seong-tae brought Seo Ye-ji out to the place where everyone in the supermarket gathered.

After being captured that day, he lived like an unemployed person, eating meals provided by the supermarket without any resistance.

The problem is that I heard every move at the mart.

“Mr. Xian, what should we do?”

Choi Seong-tae, who knew that I killed the survivor of Unit 524 yesterday, asked me.

Seo Ye-ji closed her mouth and looked at me silently.

“Seo Ye-ji.”

“Yes.”

“What do you think will happen if you go back to Hyorim High School now?”

“I don’t know. I don’t think they’ll beat me to death for leaking information about Hyorim High School, but I think they’ll just feel a bit left out. First, it’s an officially designated evacuation center, right? They’ll keep the line.”

“I think it’s okay to send it back if it’s just that much.”

If Seo Ye-ji were released, would you think about causing a ruckus?

Can you defeat the men if you are unarmed? And the women in our supermarket are trained in female craftsmanship, so they are quite strong.

I think I can be used as a worker as long as I’m prevented from carrying weapons.

“First, we will place two restrictions. First, possession of weapons. Second, female workers.”

After hearing those words, Seo Ye-ji nodded her head.

“I understand. I was curious about the female worker.”

“If you really become a supermarket person, you will be able to own a gun later.”

I approached and cut the rope tied to my wrist with a dagger using Shadow Craft.

I told the people at the supermarket that it was probably their first time seeing my power in person.

“I showed you this strength because I believe in you. Let’s continue together in the future.”

After saying that, he made the dagger made of shadow disappear.

I saw Seo Ye-ji nod her head as she massaged her wrist, which had regained her freedom, and the people in the supermarket nodded to her silently.

In that atmosphere, Seongtae Choi came forward clapping his hands.

“Then we will start moving. We will have to divide the driver into groups 1 and 2. The first group will have to go straight to the unit and start work, so we will mainly focus on those who are good with their hands. Of course, we will have to use strength because we will have to go there and unload the supplies. The second group will go to the mart. You have to keep loading the remaining supplies on trucks and send them to the 2nd unit.”

When Choi Seong-tae said that, the people naturally began to divide.

People who could drive a car were first identified, and men who had experience in the military ended up going to Group 1 first.

Since most of the drivers were men, women also became part of group 1, which was promoted to the unit first, and the remaining people became group 2.

As soon as I confirm that the truck has arrived at the base, I plan to come down to the supermarket and prepare for any emergency.

“Then let’s leave the supermarket now.”

Everyone began to move at Choi Seong-tae’s words.

*

“Did Mr. Xian organize them all earlier?”

A member of the search team told me that he saw zombie corpses strewn on the road leading to Unit 524.

“Yes. Well, right?”

“I’m really glad that Xian came to the mart. It was thanks to Youngeun that Xian became familiar with the mart, right?”

“I was embarrassed because of Young-eun, but I was grateful that the people at the mart were considerate of me. Then, I will just go to the mart. Please guard the entrance just in case.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After confirming that the first group was unloading the 1-ton truck, I headed straight to the supermarket.

“It feels like I’m driving endlessly.”

“I think I’ll be quite skilled after today, right?”

I didn’t have much knowledge about motorcycles, but I got used to it.

Even if I speed up and drive to the supermarket, Naeun sitting in the seat behind me doesn’t worry.

After parking neatly at the supermarket, I went back to the supermarket and waited for the 1-ton truck to return.

“Xian, if you think about it, shouldn’t we be carrying our luggage too?”

“That’s right, when the car comes later, let’s put it in the trunk.”

Since our luggage wasn’t that much, I thought that would be enough.

*

Just in case, I quickly returned to the supermarket and waited to see if Hyorim High School would do something stupid, but that didn’t happen.

By afternoon, the one-ton truck was able to move all the supermarket’s supplies in four round trips, one more than I expected.

I always met Choi Seong-tae in the customer support office, but when I met him in the company commander’s office, I felt like he had changed in some way.

“I think the customer support office is more convenient.”

Seongtae Choi, whose face was still covered in bandages, spoke to me.

“I guess I’m used to that too.”

“Then, we will now begin a meeting to downsize Unit 524.”

So we started talking about how to efficiently protect the unit with the Mart’s personnel.

The first opinion that came out was to only protect the barracks.

The opinion was that modern firearms are currently sealed so that no one can use them, and when the seal is released over time, you can go to the ammunition depot and obtain it.

The opinion was that if we block all the various entrances to the barracks and leave only one, we can deal with even if a huge number of zombies come, but as we were talking about a very realistic story, Choi Seong-tae looked at me and said.

“We have Mr. Xian.”

“Ah.”

The people at the supermarket deserved to react that way because they saw the huge amount of zombies scattered throughout the contaminated area on the way to the base.

And the next opinion was the same: throw away the ammunition dump.

And since the reason we abandoned the supermarket and moved to the military base was to plant and grow plants, we began adjusting the land and its surrounding defenses, and concluded that more land was needed to produce crops that could support 60 people.

We discussed the idea of ​​clearing all the land around the parade ground and barracks, which are currently being used as parking lots, and in the end, there was an opinion that there were not enough crops to plant.

The seeds I brought were good for foods like vegetables and salads, but they weren’t enough to be used as a staple food, like red-orange crops.

Fortunately, there were some potatoes in the unit, so I thought about using them, but there were still 60 people.

“I guess I should at least go pick up sprouted potatoes.”

“The area down here has an odd feel, so it doesn’t seem like there are that many people around.”

So everyone continued to give their opinions on the survival of the Mart Group.

*

After a long time, the meeting ended.

We have decided to go around the unit tomorrow and divide the area by looking at it properly, so we will come to a conclusion tomorrow.

“Now I can finally sleep in a real bed!”

Naeun said as he lay down on the bed first.

“So now I feel like I can finally lie down in a proper bed.”

While four 1-ton trucks were coming and going, we even moved the bed mattress and were finally able to use the bed that was raised from the floor.

“But only you and Seongtae Choi ended up sharing the first floor?”

Everyone else took seats on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Older people went up to the 2nd floor and younger people went up to the 3rd floor, which I think was a bit of consideration.

“Is it because I’m still the leader and guest of the group?”

“Do you consider yourself a guest?”

“Not much now. I just feel a little like a king who left everything to a strategist.”

“You say you are the king with your own mouth?”

“Well, in times like this, the person with the strongest power is the king, right?”

“The people at the supermarket probably think the same way, even if they aren’t kings.”

“I guess so?”

Choi Seong-tae also acted as if it was right for me to make important decisions.

Tomorrow, the people remaining in the unit will work on maintaining the unit, and we will supply from the contaminated area with a powerful ally called a 1-ton truck.

So the question is, is it the 21st? For some reason, after the transition period has passed, it seems like every 7 days, strange words are spoken in my head and the conditions are changed, but since there are only a few hours left today, I can see that there are only 2 days left.

‘Could the Lord of Plague do something more in his current state?’

After thinking about it for a moment, I closed my eyes and went to sleep in my new home.
