Chapter 339 – Zombie Apocalypse 4 (13)

Boom!

A sound that gave a slight sense of guilt to those sleeping in the barracks echoed around the barracks.

He used a bone sword to cut down the trees, and to strengthen the fence of the barracks, he used Yeonyeomshingong (連炎神功) to dry the trees and cut them down again.

I roughly blocked it by continuing to make wooden boards of decent thickness and piling them up near the damaged fence.

The only good thing is that men with woodworking skills will do the repairs when they wake up.

They blocked the entrance to the mart and patrolled the surrounding area endlessly.

Like yesterday, no one came to Unit 524 to get guns, but they seem to think it’s dangerous because we already got guns.

“Is there only 29 days left?”

The lifespan of the 2nd evolution zombie is exactly that long.

In the meantime, if we protect the national infrastructure as much as possible, the remaining humanity may be able to revive, but I don’t know if it will be possible since it has been reduced by nearly 90%.

Because I’m not even sure there’s 10% left.

“Are zombies still dropping somewhere? I think the world needs to know how many survivors are left.”

After cleaning up the area around the barracks, grinding up the bones of zombies and putting them in sacks, and finishing the work of 50 people by myself, I went to the restaurant and saw the ladies in charge of meals and Park Eun-seo making. . Rice balls for people to eat when they woke up. Br〉

“Ah. Brother Xian.”

The first person to notice me was Park Eun-seo, whose achievements as a female artist were much faster than her aunt’s.

He smiled, waved his hand slightly, and lifted a rice ball wrapped in seaweed that was on the tray.

“What’s inside?”

“I want to add tuna mayo, but all I have is stir-fried kimchi.”

“Yes, those strange guys swept away all the ingredients that were stored in the refrigerator yesterday.”

A lady nearby told me why it was so poor.

When the survivors left at dawn, they took food with them instead of guns. I’m glad there’s rice, kimchi, and seaweed left.

Although it is lacking in protein, it is enough to satisfy hunger.

As I was eating a rice ball, another lady asked me.

“Bachelor Xian, what are we doing with our guns now?”

“I’ve thought about bringing in a group without guns under our command, but I’m not sure if those guys will have enough food. First, we need to secure food by farming properly and secure a power plant to ensure an uninterrupted supply of electricity before we can live like humans. It’s the same, but it’s harder than you think.”

Water, electricity, food. It’s good to have communication, but how can you live without it?

As the number of people has decreased, houses are spread out, and if clothes are recycled, they can be worn for ten years.

“So you have to take care of food, clothing, and shelter again?”

“Yes. It’s always that fight.”

How long will it take to reach a world where we can live in abundance and invest in the electronic world? A country with abundant resources capable of mass-producing food would be able to recover quickly, but Korea is not doing well. Is there good land for farming in North Korea? For no reason did I want to get on an airplane.

A class climber like Kaena that I met in Han Xian’s world could use the gate at will, but I don’t have that kind of power.

The world would be so convenient if you could take everyone with you and teleport to a large place, but that will never be achieved by strengthening survival rules.

While I was eating another rice ball, another lady said.

“It was a problem in the era of low birth rates, but now it is mandatory to have children. Any news from Naeun?”

I’m not the one to be embarrassed by her aunt’s mischievous words. The problem was Park Eun-seo, a middle school student who was listening.

Park Eun-seo, who was bright red up to her ears, broke the rice ball with her hands and repeatedly reshaped it.

“Yes. I was thoroughly using birth control.”

The reason the ladies said that jokingly was because now that they have some time to spare, they must have thought about ‘family’.

There are probably few places with a structure as close to horizontal as ours.

Naeun and I are sticking out at the top, and leader Choi Seongtae is slightly above, but that’s really it.

Even if it sticks out, we rarely give unreasonable orders.

So, even if you join a group, if you don’t have any special strength, you will have a difficult life, or you will already be dead.

“I’m full, so I’ll go now.”

“If you’re a bachelor, can you have one more?”

“Then I’ll take another one. Is dinner okay?”

“For dinner, should I peel and eat the large can of ham I saved in the barracks? I’ve been keeping it like a treasure since the supermarket, but isn’t it okay today?”

“I think everyone will like it. I’m looking forward to dinner.”

I lightly patted Park Eun-seo’s head and returned to the barracks.

When the people in the barracks woke up and everyone gathered in the utility room, the first thing they did was gather information.

Various information was important now that the distribution of zombies has completely changed due to large-scale zombie drops.

Using the information search skills I had honed for a month, I relayed the information to the leader, and the leader summarized the information and delivered it to Choi Seong-tae.

Seongtae Choi’s head will hurt as he tries to cross-verify all the information, but that’s what the brain is supposed to do.

“Haa… Mr. Xian, have you seen this?”

Seongtae Choi called me and showed me information that was so important that most people sent it.

A story about a second evolution zombie falling on a unit in the capital.

Naturally, a lot of people would have flocked to the unit in the center of Seoul, where the largest number of people in Korea would have survived, and a lot of strong zombies fell, but among them, there were second evolution zombies, and it seemed like they were completely ruined.

There were three people broadcasting that the unit was using guns to fend off zombies, but there were people who stopped broadcasting and ran away because the second evolution zombies did not work with guns, and the broadcast installed like CCTV was turned off because the batteries ran out. 〈 Br〉

“I saw it. It was the most posted. The Air Force was saying they would rather not launch a missile?”

“So, I’m a little worried. Should I side with the government now and help restore the country? Or should we continue to survive on our own?”

Seongtae Choi thought that way, but he seemed to want me to make the decision.

“There are probably many people who have gained the ‘overwhelming power’ to deal with evolved zombies called guns. However, there is no one like me who has gained the ‘overwhelming force’ to deal with secondary evolved zombies.”

“That’s right. We’re debating the pros and cons of whether we can kill the 2nd evolution zombies with missiles when guns and grenades can’t.”

“I was hiding my power because I was avoiding increasing responsibilities.”

I showed Seongtae Choi some of the photos I found.

It seemed like yesterday the survivors took pictures of me pulling a cart made of shadows and holding a flaming baseball bat.

It didn’t make much of a splash, perhaps because they thought it was synthetic, but if everyone found out it was real, our unit would become very famous.

Even if we have a gun, it is difficult to shoot unless it is an enemy.

“I think it would be good to let people know that there is a king before the world becomes a lawless place.”

“He’s a king…”

He was not a king with the authority to rule over the people, but a king who was created because he was the strongest in an era when force was paramount, and so others gathered around him and praised him.

“It’s better to get Korea sorted out quickly rather than letting bastards with guns and threatening people be installed.”

“There are probably quite a few people who are resentful of why I came out now.”

“Then shall we cut off communication first?”

I have no intention of going to the front today.

Once the unit regains stability, you have to show off and kill all the nearby evolved zombies.

As you move around, people will naturally gather.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Day 32, morning. I started practicing shooting.

There were many soldiers who wanted to shoot repeatedly, but everyone practiced shooting with a single shot to save bullets.

And men who had served in the military came to me and said.

“Mr. Xian, I think I can shoot a gun better by learning martial arts.”

When I, who had not yet completed the course, made an unfamiliar face, I continued to explain.

“Originally, when you shoot, there is recoil, which causes your body to shake and your aim is off, but after learning martial arts, you can barely feel the recoil. It’s probably because your physical ability has improved.”

“I think that’s a good point. I thought everyone would abandon martial arts and spearmanship and only think about guns.”

“Regular zombies still have to fight with spears. Shouldn’t it only be used against people with guns or evolved zombies?”

Even if there are a lot of bullets, they are not infinite.

“So, Mr. Xian, are you going to practice shooting too? Mr. Naeun was standing in line to do so.”

“I’m fine.”

I made a hole between my fingers with Shadow Craft and sunk it into the floor.

It’s slow compared to bullets flying, but since I’m not holding a gun, I thought it would work pretty well if I let my guard down and used this long-distance attack.

“Um, I understand…”

I bowed my head to the men greeting me and everyone stepped back to control fire.

Except for the restaurant lady, everyone, including Park Eun-seo, practiced shooting and each received a K2 gun and three magazines.

Looking at it this way, there really are a lot of guns and bullets left, but bullets are consumables, so the more there are, the better.

On the 33rd day, people from the unit that acquired guns began to merge with surrounding groups.

Since it is almost a semi-forced merger, there have been quite a few posts requesting help with the location, but I am not sure what happens after that.

On the 34th day, a new border for Unit 524 was created.

Empty ammunition depots were abandoned and even the military base and cafeteria were covered, and people on guard stood on guard duty at the guard post with guns.

We have guns, but our enemies also have guns.

On the 35th day, the world spoke.

[The world delivers to the survivors.]

[Compared to 35 days ago, the human population has decreased to 2.2%.]

How many more of those 2.2% will disappear during the 25 days that zombies remain in this world?

*

“It’s been a really long time.”

“I see. I think there are still people on the 4th floor?”

After a long time, I returned to the officetel where I live with Naeun.
