Chapter 12 – 12. Kill Zombies and Level Up
After taking a short break, we had a rough meal with the leftover kimchi stew from yesterday, washed up, and got ready to go out.
I want to hold on to Eunji and Harin all day long and roll around in bed, but I can’t.
You also need to level up. If there’s a pretty Awoken woman, you have to capture it and make her a slave.
It is quite busy to capture and enslave technicians in specialized fields such as male awakeners, medical workers, and mechanics who can handle machines.
Moreover, there is no food to last a month right now, so I have to find food.
Of course, raising the level is the priority right now.
Even after using all the zombie repellents, you have to develop that much strength to roam the streets.
“Uh? The internet is down…”
At that time, Eun-ji, who was surfing the web for a while and searching for special zombies, was crying.
Then, Harin showed some photos stored in her album and said.
“I downloaded all the information about the special zombies that were discovered right away.”
“Oh, good job. Let’s see.”
Gathering in front of Harin’s phone, we checked the pictures of the zombies that were taken naked without any mosaics and additional explanations.
“The names of the special zombies are not official, they just came up randomly on the site.”
“Okay? Let’s see… Bitch…?”
No, no matter how unofficial the name is, bitch. Is it a ping-chaeng zombie who even spreads his crotch?
“A female zombie that screams when it sees a human… It’s a female zombie, but it must be a bitch because it turns off aggro.”
“Your naming sense is terrible. Who else?”
“Uug… This is a human…”
“Oh… What kind of bastard is going around…”
A grotesque picture of a human upper body sticking together came out.
It is such a terrible appearance that the moment you see it, you feel like your mental strength will be cut. Even though it’s a special zombie, I don’t think that’s a bit harsh.
“Is something like this going around?”
“It must have been found here and there. According to the description here, it is a special zombie that is more common than you think. In particular, they say they crawl out of a residential complex with many apartments.”
“Uh… Mainly climbs the outer walls of buildings and focuses on the survivors on high floors… Haa… Even the rich people living on high floors are all fucked up.”
The appearance of their upper bodies sticking together is probably the result of evolving to make it easier to climb. To think that a guy like this would climb up the outer wall of an apartment building and attack people who are still alive. Two horror movies came out just by imagination.
“Whoa… No matter how gruesome it is, catching a special zombie gives you more experience. You have to hold it as much as possible while the spray effect is maintained. If you find a special zombie, kill it unconditionally.”
No matter how gross it looks, there is no other way. One special zombie gives you more experience than ten normal zombies. As the effective time of the spray is short, if you see these guys, you have to catch them and kill them.
“Then is everyone ready now?”
“Yes. Brother.”
“I am ready too, Master.”
We have already confirmed each other’s skills.
As a cultist, I am ‘tentacle summon’ and ‘slave brand’. Tentacle Summon can only be used 3 times a day, so you need to save it as much as possible to use it as a special move against hostile Awoken rather than normal zombies, and the slave brand is also hard to use at random because it consumes too much mana.
So, if I caught an Awakener outside, I decided to use the ‘oppressive muzzle’ I picked up as a reward for the achievement last time to seal the power, and then drag it home and enslave it.
If the Awakener slave is male, it seems that there will be a lot of money to spend here and there.
‘But if a slave gets bitten by a zombie and turns into a zombie… Will the slave status be maintained?’
A sudden curiosity. Next time I catch a worthless bastard, I’ll test it out.
Next is Shadow Walker, Eunji. Eunji has the ‘Shadow Weaving’ skill, which allows her to pull out weapons from shadows. Mana consumption is about 2 per weapon, but this weapon has 3 durability. It’s a weapon that should be considered broken after 3 swings.
Of course, that alone is practical enough. You can draw a weapon when your hands are empty right now, and if the enemies don’t know the existence of the skill, it’s perfect to be surprised by Eunji. It’s an assassin-type down skill.
Finally, Barbarian Harin. Harin has a ‘heartbeat tracking’ skill that allows her to hear the heartbeat of a living creature. Being able to detect the presence of people within a certain distance, this is also a skill specialized in interpersonal warfare.
‘It’s a great advantage to be able to figure out the position of her opponent secretly without the enemy noticing…’
Enemies beyond the wall can be identified only when they come within a ‘certain distance’, so it seems to be the best ability in human search.
The important thing is that mana is consumed during activation and Harin has never used it a few times, so I don’t know how far away it is.
‘It’s like that, I just need to figure it out.’
The skills the three of us possess are roughly as follows. It is a combination of skills that is more suitable for hunting awakened people than hunting zombies. I feel like a human hunter.
‘If we grow a little more in this state, the three of us will be able to rob a mart… Same goes for Daiso.’
With that in mind, I picked up a baseball bat.
Eunji picked up a hammer she said she had bought for self-defence, and Harin picked up a bow she had had since they first met and a spear made by wrapping a kitchen knife around a hanger rod with tape.
“Everyone wears a mask.”
“Yes! Got it, brother!”
“That way.”
“Yeah, fine.”
Somehow, the zombie’s blood might splatter in her mouth, and if her face is known and her identity is revealed, it might be difficult later, so she wore a mask and a hat.
In particular, Eunji and Harin are quite pretty, so they might get into a fight with scoundrels or outlaws. In a world where there is no law or morality, there is a high probability that a deceptive beauty without power will become poison.
If you’re a hot-blooded guy, if you find only a woman, you might end up using it as a sex toy after being kidnapped and confined. No, you already do
Right now, if I find a pretty girl, I’ll probably catch it with a high probability and try to brand it as a slave. In this age, there must be many people who give up their humanity right away and indulge in pleasure. Guys who say they like women unconditionally…
I’m not the kind of person who accepts everything as a woman. I have my own selection criteria. Beauty is basic, and there must be no troublesome diseases such as disability or mental illness, and finally, you must be an awakened person.
Unless you really have a celebrity-level appearance with a probable face, if you don’t meet those three standards, you have no intention of being welcomed into the military family. Even if I made her a slave, Eunji or Harin wouldn’t treat her the same way.
These two are actually colleagues, but I don’t think of them as real slaves.
“Today’s goal is to raise the level as much as possible. Spray it on and get rid of all the zombies around here for two hours.”
“Yes!”
“And don’t hesitate when you have to kill someone. I get annoyed when I show mercy for no reason and get hit back. Kill without hesitation when you have to kill. Especially you, Harin. If you shot me dead the first time you saw me, you know I wouldn’t have become a slave, right?”
“Yes… Master.”
I still get chills when I think of that time. If Harin had been a cold-blooded survivor, he would have killed me right away or shot me in the leg or arm, rendering me incapacitated, taking my bag, and disappearing. There was a high possibility that I, who was hit by the bow, failed to use the skill due to pain and became zombie Bob.
It’s in the early stages of extinction, so there are still many people who are clumsy.
Yes, there are still many people who have a deep disapproval of murder, as well as those who believe in the illusions of moral codes and human rights of the past.
How long can they survive?
I will not be vigilant whether the opponent is an Awakener or not. Kill or enslave. I will force you to choose one or the other of the two. That way I can be happy for a long time without dying. The time has come when we have to consume others in order to live. I am really willing to trample on others and have the confidence to survive.
“Because Eunji is going out for the first time after she perishes. Let me warn you in advance, the smell of rotting corpses is worse than I thought. If you suddenly vomit, it’s troublesome. You know what I mean?”
“Yes. I’ll be careful.”
“Good. Let’s go now. Spray it on your face.”
Chick, Chick, Chick.
Countdown to 120 minutes from now.
The best efficiency should be extracted within 2 hours.
Rattle.
We came out 2 hours is not a very long time no matter how you think about it. You have to kill as many zombies as possible in this short time.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
I’m in the lead, Eunji in the middle, and Harin in the back. Once in this state, go down to the first floor.
“Ooh!!!”
I thought I had cleaned it up when I brought Harin the day before, but before I knew it, zombies were crawling up again and walking around. Maybe it’s the guys from upstairs.
“Die..!”
I hit the head of a zombie walking down the hallway without mercy.
Huung- Kwajik!!
When the earthenware pot is knocked down on the ground, Eunji and Harin quickly take care of the fallen zombie.
“Whoa…!”
Kwajik!
[I got 40 coins by killing zombies.]
You get an average of 5 coins per zombie. Looking at the fact that 40 coins came in at once, all the coins of the zombies that Eunji and Harin killed are also coming to me.
As slaves, they can’t get anything on their own. Everything becomes mine I also have the right to choose skills. Of course, I plan to discuss the skills with them.
We quickly slayed the zombies in the corridor and went downstairs. All the zombies that stand out are smashed so that they can’t stand up again.
“It’s so easy that I don’t even have to stick around!”
Eunji said that when we arrived on the first floor.
It must have been exciting to see the zombie earthen pot explode so easily.
“Then don’t go too far and let’s kill each other in sight!”
“Yes!”
“Yes, Master.”
We who sprayed were invincible. Even after being beaten by zombies, he could not react and died. This is a perk that most Awakeners would have received, but the performance is so good.
Although I can only use it 3 times in 2 hours. That’s enough to kill a lot of zombies.
[The level of the slave ‘Eunji Lee’ has risen by 1.]
[Select the slave’s skill.]
“Oh yea!!! Brother! I leveled up!”
As expected, Eunji was the first to level up after running the hardest and breaking the zombie heads.
As a horror thriller maniac, he doesn’t seem to be afraid of zombies at all. On the contrary, seeing how happy they are, saying that the taste of their hands is good, it scares me.
How should I say, it seems like Eunji’s eyes went back the moment she saw the blood.
Why does it feel like the instinct as a murderer hidden inside has been awakened? Is it my own illusion or is it the nature of that little and cute Eunji?
“Oh! I just saw it too! Good! That’s it! We are doing well!”
“Lol..! Brother! Are you going to shoot the skill now?”
What is he talking about now I don’t have enough time to kill zombies right now, so where is the time to shoot skills?
“Let’s go home and take a picture!”
“Yes! Brother!”
In contrast to Eun-ji, who is so lively, Harin shows a very normal normal person’s reaction.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
[The level of the slave ‘Seong Ha-rin’ has risen by 1.]
[Select the slave’s skill.]
Of course, as an Awakener and my slave, she was very good at killing zombies. It’s just that she suffers mentally from seeing the blood, flesh, and brains…
Still, Harin’s level rose almost the same as Eunji’s level up. Harin also worked hard, so she should be praised.
I leaned over her and patted Harin on the back as she was gasping for breath.
“Good job.”
“Thank you…”
Like the owner of a weak heart who hates horror movies, her condition deteriorated, as if her stomach felt worse when she saw the exploded head or dead body of a zombie. She does but she can’t come back now. Because the zombie repellent spray is too precious.
“Let’s suffer a little more.”
“Yes… I’ll get used to it…”
“Yes, our Harin can do it. Cheer up.”
“Yes..!”
I have to persevere. Is there any star?
After leaving a word of encouragement, I went around popping my zombie head again.
Most of the zombies were beaten and fell to their deaths without even realizing our existence.
“Weak… So weak… Zombie bastards are dog food!”
[The level has risen by 1.]
[Select a job skill.]
As I broke the stupid zombie’s head, I leveled up before I knew it.
To be honest, I thought it was worth doing at this level of difficulty.
Until a catastrophic week.
