Chapter 94 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (2)

I was trying to hit the doorknob with a baseball bat, but then I put down the bat, reached out, and tried to turn the doorknob.

The door opened easily with a clicking sound.

I carefully entered the house and found it to be quite well organized.

It was so clean that it was difficult to think of it as a house where a man lived alone, and there was no stockpiling of supplies, so all the space in the officetel was able to be used.

“This place is like before the zombie outbreak.”

I thought that perhaps they had organized it so cleanly for that purpose.

The house was so clean that I thought it was rude to walk around with shoes on, and when I quietly opened the refrigerator, it was still empty.

I looked around room 303 to see if the man next door had left something he wanted to say, but there was nothing like that here.

“It feels kind of bittersweet.”

I don’t know if it’s right to feel this way when you see a well-organized house, but that’s how I felt.

I left room 303 and headed to the next destination.

Is it now room 304 in question?

Although I looked from a little distance, the wall in room 304 was broken.

The light was leaking from somewhere, so it was clear that the evolved zombie had broken the wall and entered the house.

I also bent down and went in.

Kitchen appliances such as induction cookers were scattered around the house, and the fluorescent light in the room was broken.

And on the floor, we could see the body of Jung Jun-ho with pieces of a broken fluorescent lamp stuck in his body.

Looking at the long rope hanging around his neck, it seemed like he committed suicide by hanging it in the middle, and the evolved zombie ignored the body and only broke the fluorescent light.

In some ways, it was only 6 days, so why did he commit suicide?

After 30 days, the restrictions on modern firearms will be lifted, and you will be able to properly fight zombies.

As this was the house where Jung Jun-ho took his last life, unlike Room 303, there were some supplies, but they were not at a level that could hold out for that long.

First, we covered Jung Jun-ho’s body with a blanket from the bed to block what was visible.

Since I had nothing to use as a weapon or take with me, I went back outside through the broken wall.

I think I should check rooms 305 and 306 now, but I want to go home first.

‘I chose to isolate myself, but did I miss the warmth of people?’

The internet is working, and the phone is working, but I don’t know why.

I went back to room 302, opened the door using fingerprint recognition, and went in to see Naeun organizing supplies.

“Are you here? What… How was it?”

“I only saw rooms 303 and 304. Hmm, there was nothing to save.”

“I see. The supplies we took with us yesterday to escape were completely ruined. Especially the nutritional bars.”

It was packed in the bag I was carrying, but I already thought that everything in the bag would have been completely destroyed after falling and getting hit.

Naeun listed the edible things among the nutritious bars, but I didn’t feel like eating them yet.

Because there were enough supplies that we couldn’t take out of the room.

“It’s hard to store, so I guess I’ll have to eat this first, right?”

Naeun seemed to have very different thoughts from me.

“So let’s eat as much as we can.”

Since I didn’t think it was completely wrong, I answered by tearing open a bag of nutritional bars that looked edible.

I don’t know why I bought so much of this as emergency food.

*

After filling up on calories by eating a nutritious bar, we sat on the bed and rested.

I recovered quite a bit from my battle sleep, but Naeun’s right arm was still a problem.

It didn’t look like any bones were broken, but Naeun frowned at her face from time to time, even though her bruised arm was still wrapped in a painful bandage.

“Is your arm okay?”

“Yeah. In this world, you can’t just let your arm hurt a little, right? It’ll be fine tomorrow.”

He said with a bright smile.

I plan to go as early as tomorrow to join the mart team on the 7th day of the zombie outbreak, so I plan to call some people from the mart to help me move the supplies I have at home.

Because the mart team will have that many human resources.

Naeun brought a charged laptop and held it out to me.

“I tried to do it, but my right hand still hurts.”

“Okay. What should I look for?”

Without thinking much, I went to YouTube first.

Seeing videos of interest plastered all over with zombies made me think about what we’ve been watching a lot recently.

But they all had these names.

“Evolution Zombie.”

Quite a few videos about evolved zombies have been uploaded to see if what I personally called evolved zombies has become popular with other people as well.

I hunted the first evolved zombie, but as if that wasn’t the end, the main screen showed the creation of evolved zombies that appeared in various countries.

When I clicked on the one with the most views, the camera perspective was a little strange.

Feels like a fixed camera? I wondered if the playing time was strangely long.

“Ha. I turned on the live broadcast and went to fight that guy.”

“Really…? Did I win?”

“Looking at the long playback time, it looks like the camera was not retrieved.”

Did I fight an evolved zombie for about 40 minutes?

At that time, I, who had power close to that of a transcendental person, was an evolved zombie that I managed to defeat while running away.

But the fact that the video is 3 hours long…

A loud sound was heard in the video.

It seemed to be the sound of an evolved zombie breaking something, but the area where the camera was filming was brightly lit with a lantern.

“Do evolved zombies instinctively hate light?”

“I don’t think it’s all like that, but I’m not sure.”

People presumed to have left their cameras behind appeared in the lantern light.

Past real-time chat content passed very quickly and was full of red donations.

That must have been about sending more than 50,000 won. There must be quite a few people sending money without thinking about the future, right?

Even though there were less than 24 days left, there were people who sent money indiscriminately as if they were only buying for today.

“Come on!!!”

Fortunately, the man was not alone.

About twenty people, each holding a blade-like weapon, entered the camera.

They made noise while using words and actions that provoked the evolved zombies.

Some people turned the flash on and off, while others made loud noises by clashing their weapons.

And then came the evolved zombies.

“Sian, wait a minute.”

Naeun paused the video by pressing the space bar.

“Are you assuming that they couldn’t turn off the camera because all these people were dead?”

“The person who ran away may survive, but it will be difficult.”

Naeun seemed to be a bit worried about whether he should watch the one-sided slaughter that the evolved zombies would unleash.

“Let’s see.”

“Okay.”

I played the video by pressing the space bar.

The evolved zombie that entered the camera ran at incredible speed.

I think I’ve only seen orcs wearing wolf skins that are faster than that, but my memory is probably correct.

Puheoook boom

Puheoeook thump

Every time you hear the sound of the evolved zombie’s fist swinging, people disappear from inside the camera.

The twenty people who had gathered were reduced one by one, and the people who had swung their weapons at the evolved zombies were only trembling in fear.

He didn’t even think about running away, as if he thought he couldn’t be this strong.

After the one-sided slaughter of the evolved zombie, she walked leisurely and stepped on the lantern, making the lower part of her crusher invisible.

Now, it will be a repeat of the sound of the evolved zombie creating darkness until the camera battery runs out.

Still, real-time chat continued without stopping.

There were many conversations going on about whether YouTube was a gathering of survivors who were alive now…

“If you look at the time, it doesn’t seem like there’s much difference from us yesterday, right?”

“Considering that day and night are different because we are overseas, is it like this morning for us?”

It seemed like this happened while I was holding and stretching out the evolved zombie.

I clicked back on the darkened video and came back to see if there was anything posted by the Korean government.

“This is the latest.”

A government spokesperson started talking in a place that sometimes appears on the news.

“Giant zombie hordes are decreasing in number and turning into so-called evolved zombies.”

Perhaps because it was an easy word, it seemed to spread well.

“Citizens must be armed to the maximum and kill zombies around you. Evolutionary zombies are something we cannot deal with until we get back modern firearms. Currently, there are a total of six confirmed evolved zombies in Korea,” Said an anonymous person. Except for one entity that the man killed, all of them are moving in search of survivors.”

An anonymous man, Naeun and I immediately knew who it meant.

“Sian, are you talking?”

“It would be correct to tell me.”

It seems like the video posted by the man upstairs had some impact.

The government also saw the video and said, in a way, to have hope…

“Such cases are rare, so preventing evolved zombies from appearing is the top priority.”

Aside from the men in the video we watched earlier, it seems that quite a few people died after fighting with the evolved zombies.

It probably means that you should refrain from throwing away your life.

“Evolved zombies stop moving during the day, but they hate bright light at night. Be careful at night.”

The government spokesperson ended the story by saying to be careful at night.

Afterward, various details were shown in the picture, including the movement path of the zombie group and the recruitment of survivors.

It means that at least one evolved zombie will emerge from that group of zombies.

“Now the most important thing is to organize the surroundings.”

“Yes. It’s definitely hard to do on your own, so I think it’s right to join.”

No matter how superhumanly strong you are, it is difficult to deal with multiple zombies.

In the case of evolved zombies, strangely, they were not infected because they mainly used strike weapons, but in the case of regular zombies, you have to be careful of infection while fighting.

We laid down on the bed while charging our laptop to spend our last night in this room.
