Chapter 17 – 17. Catch, Kill, Enslave (2)
“No betrayal. No self-harm except under command. It is forbidden to make alterations to team members. Answer me if you know.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Park Seong-oh put his head on the ground with a humiliating expression.
Stepping on his head gently, I enjoyed the pleasure of being able to manipulate another human as I pleased.
‘It’s a really wild outing. I got a weapon and even got a slave.’
No one was hurt and made a big profit.
The performance is very good. Except for being a little tired.
But for some reason, the expressions of the two women looking at the corpse in a daze didn’t look good.
Looking at a dead body gives off a depressing atmosphere.
Maybe it’s because it’s his first murder, so he must be thinking about many things.
‘It’s worth being rejected…’
Not even a week has passed since the destruction began, so it’s understandable that both of them reacted so weakly. Let alone murder, it is greed for women who would have been afraid to kill a bug to become a mad killer overnight.
Right now, because Harin didn’t kill me because of his insignificant love for humanity, he became a slave.
“Are you both okay?”
“Yes I’m okay. It’s something I had to go through anyway…”
“I, too, was expecting this much, Master.”
Both of them are smiling brightly, but I don’t know what’s inside.
At least I, who has a strong mentality, can only comfort you.
“Come on.”
“Yes…”
“Brother…”
He hugged them and stroked their backs to soothe them.
Eunji trembled slightly, and Harin closed her eyes again this time.
“I might have to kill a lot of people in the future. But… So we can survive. You both have to eat your heart out. Got it?”
“Yes, brother. I will try.”
“I’m ready too, Master.”
Fortunately, both showed their will. It seems that the reluctance to kill still remains, but the will not to hesitate is glimpsed.
It’s a very good resolution. You can’t be depressed forever.
It is important to have the mindset that you can kill others without hesitation in order to survive.
Morality and ethics always take a back seat in front of survival. You have to choose to kill rather than die. Both for themselves and for me.
“Good. Then Park Seong-oh. Shall we have an in-depth conversation again?”
Eunji and Harin also calmed down well, so now I have to interrogate Park Seong-oh.
You have to find out how many people there are in the mart, how many people are awakened, what weapons they have, and how much food is left.
Also, how long should this guy go back so he won’t be suspected and how to use it?
“Park Seong-oh.”
“Kuh… Yes.”
“From now on, answer the questions I ask without lying.”
“Yes, I understand.”
First of all, the first question.
How many in total do we have to kill or subdue?
“There are currently about 30 people in the mart… And about 10 women who have been caught…”
The woman who was caught As expected, these bastards caught a lot of soothers.
Quite appetizing. I hope everyone is well.
“The Awakener.”
“There are seven people in total, including me.”
“Blow out all the information you know.”
“Uh… First of all, a warrior… So there are four warriors… One archer and two fighters.”
Fortunately, there was no one with a special job like ours. This lowers the difficulty a bit. I had already looked up information about warriors, archers, and fighters when the internet was available. All three were very basic combat jobs.
If I had to ask for rarity, they were normal among normals. Of course, there are a lot of survivors who didn’t get that, but it was said that they were ordinary guys among the Awakeners anyway.
‘As expected, there aren’t many hidden classes.’
Thanks to my strangely high luck number of 666, I got the hidden class of Cultist, and Eunji also got a unique job called Shadow Walker, probably because of my influence.
Even Harin, whom I met fatefully with, was a class that no one else could get as a barbarian.
Looking at the class itself, we are far superior. The problem is their individual strength.
He’s strong enough to claim to be the leader among the seven Awoken…
“The boss level is.”
“That was… I know it was about 9.”
“Nine? Already?”
In terms of experience, it was difficult to pass level 5 no matter how many normal zombies I caught. You really have to catch and kill all day long to get over the wall of level 5 and go up to level 6 with only normal zombies.
“I must have raised it as a person.”
“That’s right… I know that I beat all the guys who were aiming for the mart and went up to 9. He’s a complete madman, so he kills people when he’s bored.”
As expected, the world has gone crazy, so the crazy people have gotten better. It’s not a special zombie, it’s already level 9 by killing people. I have no idea how many I killed.
“What’s his class?”
“My class is a fighter and I am a self-proclaimed martial artist. He was originally trained in boxing. He was so confident that he would always win in a one-on-one fight without weapons… Judging by how he punches zombie heads out, I don’t think he’s lying.”
That would be a tough guy to deal with.
Even if he doesn’t have a class, it means that he’s good at fighting from the beginning. Now that he has gained stats and skills, I can’t even imagine how strong he would have become. Also, it’s level 9.
That kind of guy was holding on to the gun, so the mart hadn’t fallen yet. He would have killed all of them, and if there were any women, he would have captured them and turned them into toys.
I wonder how much experience points will be lost if I catch and kill him. Apparently, rather than killing ordinary people, the same awakened people, especially those with higher levels, give more experience.
‘Oh, no. I thought he was killing me inadvertently… I shouldn’t be like this.’
Do you use it to kill people carelessly?
To be made a slave
Hehe…”
Mouth is salivating. A level 9 slave. He even seems to be good at fighting, so how good is his roll?
‘Even so, the difficulty level will rise horribly from next Monday… Let’s never kill them and make them slaves…’
Good. A level 9 boss is unconditionally captured. With a suppressor muzzle and my tentacle summons, I could easily subdue him.
Then how can you enslave him as easily as a cake…
“Are you close with Captain Neg?”
“Yes? I think we’re friendly…”
“Are the two of you close enough to have a close conversation?”
“I am not that friendly. I am the last among the Awoken. It wasn’t long before I joined. Don’t you feel it just by looking around right now? I was running around because I was at the end.”
“Under. A useless bastard.”
I hit Park Seong-oh in the back of the head for no reason.
But doesn’t this bastard even wash his hair?
Her hands were smeared with dog oil, and she felt very bad.
“Then, who do you usually hang out with?”
“That is, he is hardly separated from his brother. Everyone else is anxious, but only the two of us are very close.”
“Hmm, okay? Then that younger brother must be an Awakener too, right? Was he the one who used to work out too?”
“Yes. He is a fighter just like his brother. I heard you have a taekwondo certificate. It certainly doesn’t seem like a lie, seeing as the zombie’s head burst with a kick.”
“What level is that bastard?”
“I heard it was around 7.”
Brothers are killing machines in pairs. Like it. The thought of unconditionally capturing both of them and turning them into slaves and rolling them like dogs makes me feel a little relieved of my fatigue.
“The rest of the Awoken’s levels.”
“That I don’t know too much about. First of all, I’m 4, and the rest of the kids with warrior ranks are probably between 3 and 5. I know that there are 6 archers. But he’s the guy who doesn’t have an answer because he doesn’t have a bow.”
It’s ridiculous that an archer doesn’t have a bow.
‘Since Harin has a bow, I should capture the archer and make her a slave. Two fighters and an archer… Warriors should be enslaved as soon as they are full of mana… Well, warriors are common, so if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter if I just kill them?’
Warrior, or Warrior, is a common class. Among the Awakeners, Warriors are the most numerous.
How many humans will awaken as warriors if we ask the women who were captured as toys to catch zombies?
There are a lot of people who haven’t caught a single zombie yet, so the number of people who haven’t grasped their potential may be more than the small number of awakened people.
“I have several pistols.”
“I have three bags. Captured from dead cops, only loaded ammunition. In addition, the first round of the chamber is empty, and the second round is empty… Actually, there are only 3 rounds. There are nine bullets in total, but I used five of them. I only have one blank round in my handgun. In fact, it’s just a blackmail decoration.”
“Her. There really was no fuck.”
“Yes…”
The pistol was a decoration. It was brought out with the intention of threatening us from the beginning, but it must have been caught by my tentacles before that.
“Then who has the remaining ammo?”
“The boss is getting 4 shots.”
Even the archer who is always on guard duty on the rooftop is holding a pistol, and it’s just a decoration with blank bullets.
The boss has all 4 legs. I’m sure you don’t have a slave stigma like me, so it’s a bit unsettling to entrust your ammunition to someone else.
So, that means the guy I saw standing on the rooftop had no bullets in his handgun. It was all their bluffing.
“Hmm. What are the names of the boss and his younger brother?”
“So, Ha Jin-seong and Ha Jin-woo are the brothers.”
“Brother Ha. Where are most of them?”
“They usually play poker in the electronics corner on the second floor.”
“I see…”
The sun is slowly setting. It will be dark soon
“Whoa… It’s Eunji, Harin.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Speak, Master.”
“Are you guys very tired right now?”
“Uh…”
“You have to tell me.”
“I still deserve it.”
“I’m also confident. What about your brother?”
“I’m fine too. Then let’s rob the mart today.”
“Uh…”
“Right now?”
“Yes. First of all, Eunji and I have no problems with our vision even in the dark, and Harin can use heart rate tracking to know where people are.”
“Certainly we will have an advantage at night.”
“I will abide by your decision.”
Let’s take advantage of the darkness and defeat them. It is much better for us to move at night.
“Good. Park Seong-oh I will not entrust you with an important mission.”
“Yes?”
“Once in the middle of a battle, if the captain pulls out a gun, you must take the gun from the lead or get hit instead of us. Waste ammo.”
“Yes…? Now, wait a minute. Are you telling me to get shot and die?!”
Park Seong-oh looks at me as if he is absurd at being told to become a meat shield.
I thought I might die when I was told to subdue the boss with a gun.
This bastard still doesn’t seem to understand his situation.
“So you are a slave. If you want to die, go and die. Don’t talk back to the owner.”
“Ugh… Yes.”
“That’s why our Seong Oh-kun became the team representative ‘cannon fodder’. Congratulations.”
Tears flowed from Park Seong-oh’s eyes at my cold words.
Now he has a clear picture of his position.
That’s what slavery is.
Things that can never defy their master’s orders.
A puppet that moves as I command.
If you’re as pretty as Eunji and Harin, I’ll live next to you.
Or just use it in the right place like this and throw it away.
This kid isn’t even a valuable hidden class. If it is the most common Awakener among the basic occupations, it is not too bad to use it and throw it away.
There are three more warrior jobs in the Mart alone, so there’s nothing to regret.
Especially this fucking guy made me get dog grease on my hands because he didn’t wash his hair.
“What is the entrance?”
“Huh… I’m monitoring everything except the front door and taking turns.”
“Okay. Then you go in as naturally as possible and open the back door. We’ll go in there.”
“Hey… Yes… I see…”
I patted Park Seong-oh on the shoulder, who was shedding tears like chicken poop, and turned to Eun-ji and Harin.
Both flinch. Why are you doing that?
“Why? What’s up?”
“Oh, no brother. Haha.”
“Mmm, nice master…”
“Hehe. Bland. Then, once Park Seong-oh enters the front door and opens the back door, we hide and enter. They’re nothing if you don’t have a gun. When the boss is in a hurry, he takes out a gun and shoots, and our Seongokun feeds us. Eunji and Harin should protect me and fight well.”
I have 2 tentacle summons left for today. If you use this, it’s just over, no matter if the opponent has learned martial arts or whatever. So you have to save mana.
If Eunji and Harin can hold out for a maximum of 15 seconds from the Ha brothers, they will win unconditionally. If I just give them time to sing, it can be said to be our victory.
Harin, if you strengthen your strength and use the fists of a destroyer on your rough skin, you’ll soon be able to subdue one. Eun-ji hides and wins unconditionally even if she hits the shadow dagger with paralysis fangs.
‘After that, I stun one of them, and put on a suppressor mouthpiece to seal his ability, and then enslave him as soon as his mana is restored.’
I don’t know if it will go as planned or not, but depending on how well Park Seong-oh moves, the difficulty of this operation will change a lot.
At this point, I should give Park Seong-oh hope and boost his morale.
“Sung Okun.”
“Huh… Yes…”
“Don’t cry. Why is a boy crying so much?”
“Huh… Yes. It is over.”
“Come on, look. It’s all about dodging bullets, right? I didn’t just do the impossible.”
“Yes…?”
“Okay. No big deal. I just need to dodge 3 shots. Right?”
“Yes…”
“You said you were a level 4 warrior too. You can just dodge it with a skill.”
“Huh…”
“It’s really nothing, hey. Take it easy then you live I’m glad I didn’t die as a slave. Right?”
“Yes…”
His eyes are still dead eyes. Has he already accepted his death?
No matter what.
We headed to the mart.
