Chapter 338 – Zombie Apocalypse 4 (12)
Zombies keep falling from the sky.
In a crazy situation where zombies were falling along with the rain, the people in the supermarket regained some composure by killing the zombies.
Men were seen taking out guns from inside the barracks and attaching bullets to the bullet shells.
“Wow. How long has it been since this?”
“I didn’t go to the reserves this year, so it’s been a year?”
Men who had served in the military gathered together and began putting bullets into the bullet case and attaching them to the K2 rifle.
Considering the evolved zombies that could fall at any moment, I expanded my presence detection to cover the barracks and cafeteria and entered the building.
“Do you all remember how to write?”
“I can’t forget it. If you learn, Jaeyoung will be able to do it too.”
Is shooting something that even middle school boys can do? All you have to do is aim at the enemy and pull the trigger.
“For now, I’ll just prepare a few bags and try not to use them as much as possible today. I don’t know what will happen if the survivors who come down to the restaurant are scared.”
“I understand. Even if we run out of evolved zombies, we have Sian now.”
Some men were disappointed that they could not shoot today and removed the bullet case attached to the rifle.
As I was looking at that, I felt that something different from the zombies that had fallen so far had appeared.
‘Between the barracks and the cafeteria.’
I ran down the hallway toward that direction.
I said this because the entrance was blocked so well by spearmen.
“Open the road!”
“Huh?!”
“It’s Mr. Xian! Yes!”
A space opened up, so I could escape, and as soon as I got out of there, an evolved zombie fell from the air.
Yeomryun Kwon (炎輪拳) Five Wheels (Five Wheels).
Whoa, whoa!!
I immediately crushed the head of the evolved zombie with my fist that went through five rings of flame.
And when I came back into the barracks, the people who were catching zombies at the entrance seemed quite surprised.
“I will take care of the evolved zombies, so please take care of them.”
“Was that an evolved zombie just now?”
“Yes.”
“Other places too…”
If there is an ammunition depot nearby, you can move your firearm and shoot wildly, but wouldn’t that be difficult for most Korean troops? Unit 524 is not the only unit with ammunition depots and units separated like this.
I came to the center of the barracks so that I could easily go to the three entrances to apply for help. I watched soldiers throwing grenades upward and catching them, and then I felt the reaction of the evolved zombies and ran out again.
*
Three hours and 40 minutes have passed since zombies started falling from the sky.
I caught eight evolved zombies in almost four hours, and at 4 a.M. Approached, the number of zombies falling from the sky gradually decreased.
Fortunately, the 2nd evolution zombies didn’t seem to fall, but I’m not sure if that’s the case in other places as well.
An attack of this magnitude could be prevented by people gathered in other units.
Since everyone was visible at the central entrance of the barracks, almost all 60 people in the mart had gathered.
I have to be careful about the survivors who entered the restaurant, but I killed the evolved zombies that appeared nearby, so they will all be alive.
“Haaam…”
I passed through the people yawning and dozing off, propping themselves up with their spears, and came out of the barracks.
The standard is to block the entrance while constantly hunting down zombies falling from the sky with a spear, but because of the variables called evolved zombies, I couldn’t block the entrance and just fought.
I slowly headed toward the restaurant, stepping on the zombie corpses piled up near the barracks.
The restaurant was also enjoying the lull, but came to its senses when I approached.
“I’ll go in.”
Since they had seen me kill an evolved zombie with one blow, they obediently opened the entrance.
Inside, someone seemed to have made a late-night snack and were eating it using ingredients collected by people at the supermarket, but I decided to skip that.
“For those of you who were lucky enough to survive, have you decided what’s next?”
While eating a late-night snack, the survivors glared at me as I put down my chopsticks and fork.
You should now know well that I can use my supernatural abilities and that I cannot do anything with my strength.
While I was blocking the zombie drop, I guess I had decided on who would represent the survivors in the restaurant. A rather large, muscular man walked out and stood in front of me.
“Do you admit that we helped stop zombies falling from the sky?”
“If you hadn’t come in the first place, there wouldn’t have been 100 people.”
It’s not that they helped us, but rather that they created something that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
“If I hadn’t killed the evolved zombies, the restaurant would have been devastated.”
“How do you know it’s an evolved zombie? Isn’t it just a matter of killing a zombie and cheating?”
“Ah. I just want to kill them all.”
If only I could change the quest right now…
As if by mistake, I blurted out the truth and took a look around the restaurant.
Everyone was tired and exhausted, but in this place, there were few people who were just sleeping like the people at the supermarket, and everyone was desperately enduring the dawn.
“Whew. If you don’t take the gun, you’re dead anyway. If you’re thinking like that and giggling, then shut up before we kill you. The gun came into our hands just as you didn’t want it, so if you want to volunteer as a target, we’ll accept it. Raise your hand and speak.”
Naturally, no one raised their hand.
“We give you three hours. Clear the cafeteria by 7 a.M. And get out of the unit whether you go over the entrance to the barracks or the barbed wire of the ammunition depot you destroyed. Otherwise, I will kill you all.”
“If you make so many enemies…”
“Hey. We have guns. Negotiations should be done with someone of the right level.”
Even in a world without guns in the first place, our Mart group that learned martial arts from me was stronger.
That’s how we got guns, which are visible pieces of force.
Since I had nothing more to say to the survivors, I left the restaurant without hesitation.
Then I went to the company commander’s office and spoke to Choi Seong-tae, who had dozed off and woke up.
“Seongtae, I told the intruders to leave the barracks by 7 o’clock, or I would kill them all.”
“Is that so? Okay, I’ll broadcast to the barracks.”
Seongtae Choi operated the broadcasting equipment with familiar hands.
“Ah. The leader announces at the barracks. Anyone outside Unit 524 is requested to leave the unit by 7 a.M. Anyone who does not leave after time or tries to approach the barracks will be killed immediately.”
I came out of the company commander’s office after seeing Choi Seong-tae repeat the broadcast once more so that the cafeteria could be heard.
When the zombies stopped coming out, people seemed to be bored and started stacking bullets by combining them with bullet shells.
As I looked at that scene, I found Naeun among the women.
“Naeun.”
“Sian, why?”
“I’m going to take a nap and wake up. If anything happens, wake me up before 7 o’clock.”
“I understand. I had a hard time at night.”
I nodded slightly and went into my room and lay down on the bed.
When asked if I was exhausted because I moved a little last night, I said no, but decided to spend the three hours efficiently.
*
Naeun shook me vigorously and woke me up. As soon as I woke up, I checked the time, it was 6:50, and when I expanded my presence detection, there was no one in the restaurant.
“Sian, they all left. They took all the food we had left in the restaurant, and Seongtae Choi said that was okay.”
“Okay. That’s it. Have you checked the situation of other units?”
“Hmm… There are a lot of zombies, right? I guess the population in the unit had a big impact. There were a little over 100 of us, right? In places with more than that, zombies are still falling. The unit was completely wiped out after the second evolution zombies fell. There is also.”
“You really are a damn bastard.”
How much are you planning to reduce the number of survivors from the morning of the 31st? Compared to before the zombie apocalypse began, will there be 10% of humanity left?
They gather living people at a military base and then move zombies around that they can’t handle.
“So I’m going to sleep…”
“Okay. Sleep well.”
When I moved away, Naeun became one with the bed.
I took my smartphone out of the room and decided to check out the surrounding news.
Now, seven hours after the return to use of modern firearms, humanity seems to have begun a massive counterattack against zombies.
There were a lot of live broadcasts, and all of them were firing guns.
Kill the zombies, throw a grenade at the evolved zombies, fight the second evolved zombies, and get wiped out.
“This is the second day the world changed.”
After checking the ammunition and guns placed in the center of the barracks, I went outside and, as Naeun said, both types of rain had completely stopped.
After the rain stopped, the zombie corpses scattered around were gathered in the center of the parade ground.
It’s still too wet to take it to the incinerator and burn it.
I used Shadow Craft to create a box into which all the corpses could be pushed, and then used the flame wheel to fire an amplified flame field inside it.
The corpses hit by the chlorine were scattered, but soon caught fire and began to burn.
‘If it’s Master Yeomwang’s Falun Resonance play, you can burn it all by approaching.’
I blew up the chlorine field once more to increase the heat and closed the entrance using Shadow Craft.
I sat down on the steps in front of the barracks, in the cleanest part of the room, and looked blankly at the sky.
When you see the rain clearing up and the sun rising in a clear sky, you may feel a little bit of hope, but if you think about it again, this world is ruined.
“Now how do I survive in this ruined world?”

As I was spending some time researching the situation of surrounding units and stories about Unit 524, the 48 hours I received from the quest passed.
『Quest』
〈No murder for 48 hours.〉
-Completed: [Skill] Rules of Survival (S) -〉 [Skill] Rules of Survival (S+)
It was hard to endure, but I didn’t move on to S.
There is no change in the content of the skill, so it seems like there is something lacking to move on.
“Since I woke up early, let’s do some work.”
We need to block the barbed wire holes in the ammunition depot and manage the fields.
Since everyone worked hard in the early morning, I should do a little for myself when I wake up after a good night’s sleep.
