Chapter 131 – Queen
I don’t know how many times I blindly searched for zombies that could talk, kidnapped the zombies I found to a deserted place, asked questions, and listened to the answers.
I don’t know the exact time, but it took a lot of time after the sun had completely set before I was finally able to obtain a map containing the queen’s location of her.
No one will know how much trouble I went through for this one thing, but it’s okay.
If, through my hard work and my efforts, the safety of Seung-i, Seo-ah, and the baby in Seo-ah’s womb can be secured even just a little, I would be able to make such an effort.
Fortunately, the characterless zombies who seemed to be doing reconnaissance decided that even if they saw the corpses of the executives, it was not something that should raise an alarm, so they just ignored it, so it seems to have been easier than expected.〈 Br〉
Anyway, I reduced her queen’s power considerably and obtained all the information I could about her, so I thought I could go see the queen tomorrow.
If possible, kill her on the spot, but if it seems impossible, you can go home for a while and then slowly figure out a way to kill her.
“Whoa…”
I thought I had roughly finished everything I had to do today, so I hid in a high, remote place where zombies couldn’t easily reach.
The sun had already set for a long time, so it was dark outside.
Unlike zombies who have bright eyesight at night, we have limitations as humans, so we had no choice but to stay here today.
Still, I had a hard time finding a space where I could sleep comfortably while being as inconspicuous as possible.
It was dirty, full of dust, and seemed to be full of bugs, but there was no place as safe as here, so I had no choice but to lie down and sleep.
Even if we fight, we have to maintain our best condition. Life comes and goes, but you can’t take the risk just because it’s not a good environment to sleep in.
So even though it was unpleasant, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning.
Even though the world was covered with zombies, the birds seemed to be fine. In the morning, a sparrow chirped and woke me up.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately raised the sword in my hand just in case.
Fortunately, there was nothing in front of me that could be called a zombie.
If it had been there in the first place, it would have been after it attacked me while I was already asleep.
“Whoa…”
I stood up, letting out a belated sigh of relief.
I carefully went down and looked around.
Since I had already committed something, I wanted to go back with all the information I could, but there was a lot of commotion inside as what I had done yesterday had finally been discovered by zombies with intelligence or personality.
They were struggling to find me, the person who had assassinated their colleagues here, as quickly as possible.
“Tsk… Should I have just gone out yesterday? ‘
I wonder if the judgment I made yesterday was wrong.
I wondered if I should have just walked through the darkness and escaped from here, even if it meant taking risks, but that choice seemed too reckless.
I sighed deeply and fell into trouble at the thought that even if I could go back to the past, I would make the same choices again.
Water already spilled. Even if it’s reckless to end up like this, let’s learn a little more about the queen. Or should I get out now and aim for a time when the situation is over and the vigilance is lowered than today?
I was at a crossroads of choice.
As of now, I can’t see which choice is the best and best choice.
Still, I’ve found out where the queen is, and if I can kill her, I’ll kill her. If I can’t, I want to see the queen and make some preparations for her.
That way, the next time we meet, it will be an easier way to catch the queen, who will be a little stronger.
But.
“Let’s go back.”
As I always say, my life was not mine alone.
First of all, Seo-ah, Seung-i, the child in Seo-ah’s stomach, and the group of survivors who depend on me.
There were already so many people on my shoulders, so adventure was an absolute no-no at the moment.
Even though it’s unfortunate, it can’t be helped.
Even if the Queen’s residence was already known, if her vigilance had been so strict, it is certain that the surroundings around the Queen would have become even more strict.
Feeling like I was going to get caught anyway, or that I would turn back without even seeing the queen due to the overwhelming power of her, I decided to give up and prepare to go back.
However. Where should I run to?
There are many escape routes.
Even though the military base is large, it is not so big that you can’t see everything, so if you want to run away, you can easily run away.
The problem was which direction to take to ensure safety.
First, exclude the east.
Since the queen was said to be in the east, it seemed like even if I ran away, I would have to choose one of these three directions: north, south, west, and south.
Just thinking about it, the complete opposite of where the queen is. Going both ways seemed the most ideal.
If this were the case and her queen had any intelligence, she would have gathered her troops around her for her own safety.
Even if it is not a military unit, it is certain to contain strong individuals.
So I decided to run away.
Try to run as undetected as possible, even by regular zombies, but boldly when it seems like you can’t escape…
“Kyareuk?”
Suddenly!
“Kya… !”
Suddenly!
First, he took one by surprise, and as soon as his companion’s head fell off, he cut off the head of a zombie who was screaming as if to sound an alarm, and dropped his head.
In an instant, the two animals turned into cold corpses.
There was no time when evidence was destroyed.
It is better to run away a little faster during that time.
With this in mind, sooner or later, even if I see zombie corpses and hear people shouting that I ran in this direction, I will have already left long ago.
There was a time when I thought so.
“Ha… “
There isn’t much left until we leave the base.
I thought all I had to do was climb over the wall.
“What? How did you know and come here?”
A zombie blocked my path.
Judging from its rotten skin, it was clear that it was a zombie, but it was talking to me clearly as if it had a personality.
“In case you didn’t know, the queen moved this way on purpose, but she came exactly here. Should I call her smart or stupid?”
That zombie thought I came here on purpose to kill the queen.
Actually, that’s not it. I came here with the thought that there was a better chance of escape if I ran this way. It felt like I was using my brain for no reason and the situation was getting to the worst.
How could the stupid queen move her position to the other side just because she was scared?
It’s really crazy and jumping around.
Two more zombies with personalities appeared, like the zombie that spoke to me as if the queen was nearby.
The good news is that there are only three out of six.
I think the rest went somewhere to look for me or sent a separate scout like Colonel Zombie.
“Whoa…”
She sighed and looked at the three.
They are not taking steps right away because they think it won’t be easy and they don’t want to waste the new life they have gained while not even confirming their power yet.
“Status window… “
I aimed for this moment and called up the status window.
Then a blue window appeared before my eyes.
[Jaewon Han
Level: 23
Strength: 30 Stamina: 30 Agility: 30 Magic: 20
(Skill)
『Basic Swordsmanship』 『Basic Defense』 『Beginner Swordsmanship』 『Beginner Defense』
Points held +3750]
As I captured very strong entities and obtained information, my level rose by 1, and my points reached a whopping 3,000.
Beginner swordsmanship and beginner defense skills each cost 1000p.
Considering that basic swordsmanship costs 300p, this means that the price has jumped more than three times.
At least intermediate swordsmanship and defense skills are not triple like this.
[Skill store.
ㅡ Intermediate Swordsmanship P2000
ㅡ Intermediate Defense P2000
ㅡ Intermediate Marksmanship P2500
ㅡ … ]
Is it double?
Still, I still didn’t have 250p, so I had to choose between the two.
In a way, since my life is in danger, defensive skills come to mind, but I don’t have much time.
“Status window. Purchase with intermediate sword skills.”
I decided to choose intermediate swordsmanship.
[Would you like to purchase?
Yes / No]
Leaving behind the status window that asked me if this was the right choice, I finally finished my search and raised my sword as I saw the approaching zombies.
“Shut up and just buy it quickly!”
Like a hero in a hero movie with nails sticking out from the back of his hands, I pulled out my long nails and urgently blocked the attack of the zombie swinging at me, shouting at the hesitant Sangtae Chang.
Sang Tae-chang must have heard my desperation and purchased intermediate swordsmanship.
A large amount of 2000 points evaporated in an instant, and a new skill called Heavy Swordsmanship appeared in my status window.
