Chapter 797 – #96. Chinhaesol (101)
The zombie wave came, and there was an operation to lure zombies to defend the territory.
And the only person who can pull off the process is the client.
Zombies’ weakness is that they are slow.
It was the client’s job to lure the zombies out of the way of the wave.
‘Fuck, if I was doing something like that, shouldn’t I stop being possessed?’
The problem is that this person came out in a hurry and didn’t take his cell phone.
While luring zombies through the night, he belatedly realized that he had forgotten about my existence, and hurriedly moved to a safe space and hid himself.
I wondered why the paper was so urgent and crumpled, but it seemed that the situation was quite urgent to prepare this in time.
‘The possession time is bound by a contract, so I can’t just stop in the middle.’
[It may not be comfortable here today, but I want you to spend the night alone. And please do not possess until I contact you separately.]
I can’t help it today, so I’m telling you to be patient.
Even from the client’s point of view, it would not have been nice for me to just use my body here.
And then what if you get hit by a zombie by mistake?
I can go back to my body with the possession released, but the client has to deal with the body that was hit by the zombies.
We had clearly shared our opinions on that part before accepting the request.
[‘A’ does his best to cooperate with ‘B’ to be safe for the time he is possessed.]
[‘B’ does his best to cooperate so that ‘A’s’ body does not have any problems.]
Of course, it is unavoidable because the client who is currently ‘A’ broke the part of doing my best to keep me safe first.
However, I needed to get 800,000 coins by completing this request safely.
Since the reason for the failure of the request is on the client’s side, there will be no need for me to compensate, but things could be complicated in that I could not receive all of the commission money.
‘By the way, I’m asking you to spend the night here…’
Will you be able to sleep calmly among so many zombies?
‘Absolutely not.’
You will probably spend the night with sleepless eyes.
‘Should I just watch zombies to my heart’s content?’
Since I acted in a historical drama in the first mission, I thought it would be fun to use the experience of the second mission to be cast as the main character in a zombie drama.
‘Looking at this, the acting is definitely good value for money.’
If you just act, can’t you experience all the different jobs?
Of course, depending on how deeply you fall into acting, your experience will be different, but… It is certain that acting is a job that suits me very well.
Since the members have been doing individual activities for a while, there has been talk of getting together once in a while, so it would be impossible to act in the apocalypse genre right away, but I wanted to leave it as an option and use it later.
After changing my mind like that, I didn’t think that the current situation of being alone was all that bad.
‘This is also a possible idea now that I am not facing that zombie horde.’
It’s dizzy to think that you actually have to deal with those zombies.
I personally dislike this type of gore genre.
It may be good to see it in a movie, but isn’t it very different to experience it in person?
It was a worldview that I never wanted to be entangled in.
“Kuluk kuluk. Uh, dust.”
Around the time I got tired of watching zombies roaming around outside the window.
I looked around, wondering if I should try to get some sleep.
I wondered if there was a place where I could lay down and sleep.
But there was so much dust that there was nowhere to lie down.
‘Should I just ignore this dust and lie down?’
If it was a client, I think I would have slept without caring about the dust.
I had no intention of escaping from the safe space the client had created to be tidy.
‘Let’s just watch the moon.’
I squatted down, leaned my back against the wall, and looked up at the sky.
Downstairs, there is a horrific sight of dead bodies walking around after being infected with a virus and turning into a zombie, but the sky is surprisingly quite nice to see.
‘Maybe it’s because there’s no light, so it seems like I can see the stars…’
Thud!
“!!”
Miss, I’m surprised.
It’s not that I can’t watch horror movies, but personally experiencing the horror is very unpleasant.
‘Is it downstairs?’
I thought I shouldn’t pretend to be human, so I held my breath and listened nervously.
She also held a long iron rod, which the client seemed to have used, in her hand.
I don’t know if the martial arts I learned while doing the drama will work in real life.
However, since the client’s body has sufficient ability to deal with zombies, he voluntarily asserts that it will be fine.
Clink!
‘Fuck, there really is something.’
Knock once! Did you hear the wrong thing when you heard the sound? I was able to pass it on, but after hearing the second glass breaking sound and the sound of someone stepping on something, it seemed hard to deny it anymore.
It wasn’t easy to tell them apart because of the intermittent sounds the zombies spit out, but after diligently playing with the sound (playing while listening to the sound), I could tell that the sound was coming from below me.
‘Did zombies come downstairs?’
Well, there are so many zombies on the side of the road, there’s no way that there aren’t any who don’t dig an eye.
The question is, how far will those zombies come in?
‘Will you come to where I am? I want you to go away on your own.’
Along with the fear of zombies, anger towards irresponsible clients rises as well.
‘Did she think she would be able to sleep peacefully with zombies coming and going from underneath?’
At first, it looked like a good place to escape because it was blocked on all sides and the door was blocked with furniture, but now I’m worried because I don’t know when zombies will pop out.
Not sure if this is really a safe place.
As I held my breath and stayed still, there was no sign of the presence coming from below coming up.
But there was a steady rustle from underneath that kept getting on my nerves.
‘Are the people here mentally strong?’
How did you survive all this…
‘They were great people.’
Apocalypse.
It’s been only one night since I’ve been directly affected, but I’m scratching my nerves in an instant.
‘I’d rather go down and deal with the zombies that make noise…’
There was no information about how strong the zombies were, so I couldn’t make a hasty decision.
Didn’t I come here to deal with zombies?
‘Let’s not take unnecessary risks.’
Suppressing curiosity and discomfort, she sat back down on the floor, still holding the iron bar in one hand.
Even if a zombie appeared in front of me, it would not be easy to get close to it through all that furniture.
‘All I have to do is hold out until the possession ends.’
So I’m thinking about my work once again.
Shuk, shuck, shuck!
The sounds of people from below were getting closer and closer.
‘Are you a real zombie?’
I let out a small sigh and checked where I was hiding.
‘I should have known in advance how much they resemble zombies in the movie and what the differences are…’
If so, it would have been of considerable help now when dealing with zombies.
In a situation where there is no knowledge about zombies, the only thing you can trust is your physical ability and a space that has meticulously locked down the door.
Rumble- Rumble- Rumble-
Someone from downstairs finally pulled the doorknob to open the door to my room.
However, he quickly gives up on opening the door, probably realizing that he cannot enter because it is blocked by something inside.
‘Are zombies intelligent? Looking at the kids outside, they don’t seem to have any intelligence at all.’
It was frustrating because I didn’t know anything about zombies.
If he continues to stand in front of the door, he will be surprised when the owner returns after some time, so I decided to write this down on a piece of paper in advance.
‘I should hold it in her hand.’
I didn’t know if the owner of the body would be able to find the paper right away like me, so I held the paper in my hand to make it as easy as possible to find it.
Bassrock-
But was that a mistake?
The sound of crumpling paper could be heard outside, and the doorknob turned and rattled again.
‘Ha, are these zombies really smart?’
I’m sure this is a fairly intelligent level.
“There… Is anyone there?”
Around the time I was learning new information about zombies.
I had to face the absurd reality that zombies can talk.
‘No, did the zombie get hit in the first place?’
Until now, I thought that if there was a sign, it would of course be a zombie.
How many cases do you encounter with people among seemingly endless waves of zombies?
But that nonsense became a reality.
“…Are you a person?”
“Whoa! Yes! Yes! That’s the guy! The guy!”
The human being, who had been suspected of being a zombie outside the door, was full of joy at meeting a person.
“I really thought I was dead, but I never thought I’d meet someone like this! Are you a rumored shelter resident?”
Shelter residents?
“I’ve heard rumors. I’ve also seen flyers. Survivors gathered around here to make a safe zone. At first, I thought it was a ridiculous rumor, but I had no place to go anyway, so I just came here blindly.”
The survivor I met suddenly poured out chatter as if there were so many things he wanted to say.
“I know you’re happy, but could you lower your voice a bit? As you know, we have to be careful because of the zombie wave, isn’t it?”
“Yes, yes, I’ll keep my voice down. I’m meeting someone for the first time in a few months. I guess I’m too excited.”
The woman lowered her voice sharply, saying she would be careful.
The problem started now.
‘Shelter… Is probably where the client is staying, right?’
Circumstances seem to be right, but as you know, am I not the owner of this body?
Meeting her new person didn’t make me let her into her without thinking.
In an apocalyptic world, there’s nothing more foolish than trusting strangers.
‘Accepting that person is the client’s choice.’
I understand that it feels good to see someone for the first time in a few months, but letting her in is a different story.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can move because of the zombie wave.”
“Ahh..! Yes, yes. I’m fine. I came here to rest anyway. You can rest here as much as you want. I’ve endured in a worse place than this. Don’t mind me.”
The woman said that she had no intention of going inside without permission, perhaps because she felt uncomfortable with my voice, and she tried not to arouse her alertness as much as possible.
She didn’t seem to want to pretend to be with someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“By the way…The residents of the shelter… Are you right? How many people are gathered there?”
The woman carefully asked if there were many questions she wanted to ask me even though she had no intention of coming inside.
It was, of course, a question I could not answer.
