Apocalypse Downloaded 37

Chapter 37 – 37. The Approaching Threat

We returned to the mart safely.

Eunji and Harin, who were completely exhausted from the battle with the murderous robber, went to wash up first, and roughly shared roles with the non-awakened people brought from Daiso. First of all, the two men are the cleaners and the two ladies are in charge of the meals.

And Ganghwa-young said that she was hungry and as soon as she arrived at her mart, she started sucking the baby’s blood.

“But this bastard isn’t waking up?”

Han Taeyang still hasn’t woken up. There is no slight movement or kick with his feet. He’s breathing, and even makes a faint moan when touched, but he’s still awake.

“Oh, don’t…”

Ah-reum blocked my foot in her disgust when I touched her brother with her foot.

“Her. Are you blocking me now?”

“Oh, no. Not that. Shit…”

Why are you afraid of me again?

Strangely, people get scared when I laugh and avoid the seat. Even though my stats went up and I became quite handsome, there was no one other than Eunji and Harin who liked my smile.

“Unnie, oppa, what should I really do now..”

“I don’t know… Well, is there a doctor here?”

Han Ah-ram asked me with a worried expression.

The bitch who stared into my eyes with a blunt expression when I looked at her must be very fond of her family.

How can an orphan like me, who has no family or anything, live in sorrow?

“There are no doctors here. Doctors haven’t been made slaves yet. I’d like to see a doctor when I get a chance. Or a female doctor. Hehe.”

“Ah…”

“What do we do…”

I can’t see you worrying about this damn bug forever.

I have to level up and I have a lot of things to do, but I can’t waste my precious time on a dying idiot.

“It’s done. Both of you now go wash up. This bastard will wake up in a little while.”

“I’m sorry..”

“All right.”

The two of them reluctantly left Han Taeyang at my command and stood up and went to the bathroom.

Han Ah-reum glared at me until the end. As if it were a curse.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

I stared at the asses of the two women leaving and licked my lips.

I left the women to wash up and went up to the roof.

“Ah, brother. I was watching you come in. Are you a new slave?”

“Uh. Awesome, right? You don’t have to do roof cleaning anymore. I also caught non-Awakened ones, so I just have to let them do it. Also, there are two aunties who are good at cooking.”

“Missie? Gulp… Whoa! You are amazing too!”

Ha Jin-seong, who had been praising my achievements for a long time, informed me that nothing had happened since we left.

However, when he heard that no one came and there were not many zombies passing by, for some reason, anxiety creeped up somewhere in his heart.

‘It feels like the night before the storm.’

I tried to erase my anxiety and called Hwang Soo-min to get the archmage’s earring back.

While I’m not at the mart, she has the strongest firepower to watch over here. When even the chrysoprase ring was taken away, Hwang Soo-min made a very depressed expression.

He didn’t even take the oak staff. Because Hwang Soo-min is the only class that can use that here.

‘Okay then, Harin will give you the chrysanthemum stone ring. I’ll give you silver earrings.’

Harin, who usually engages in all-out warfare, has a lot of work to do, so I decided to give her a chrysanthemum ring, while Eunji uses her skills often, so I decided to give her earrings.

It’s me, I don’t have to do these things, but I’m full of magic power.

“Then… Go wash up…”

Now it’s time to taste the Han sisters. She is tired, but has no intention of sleeping in front of her virgin. You don’t know what might happen tomorrow, but you have to eat something delicious first. It’s because I’m the only one who is unfair if I save it.

Of course, I don’t mean to just have sex out of ignorance. First of all, Sister Han is a newly recruited slave harem, so I look closely at her class and take pictures of her skills.

‘There are more than 10 Awakeners alone. Come if you wish…’

She thought so, and I went to wash too. With no idea what’s coming.

*****

At dawn, on the third floor of a villa.

Awesome!

The rusty hinges made a dying sound as the door opened, which had been closed since no one had opened it for over a week.

It was a dark space where no sunlight could come in because the curtains were drawn in the room.

Finally, a ray of light penetrated the place filled with stuffy air and rotten inner thoughts.

Tboob. Tboob.

A man armed with items obtained by catching and killing countless special zombies and monsters.

He cautiously walked into the room.

“Heeseon-ah… I’m here.”

He greeted the woman in her chains affectionately.

“Uhhh…!”

Then the chained zombie responds ferociously.

Empty! Empty! Wooooo!!!

She was once a woman who called his name with a smile more beautiful than anyone else, but now she has turned into a broken zombie, smelling the smell of her approaching man’s flesh and struggling wildly to break her chains.

However, the tightly bound chain did not show any signs of loosening and instead only ripped off the rotting flesh of the zombies.

Seeing this, the man let out a deep sigh and lamented.

“Haa… Heeseon-ah, stop it.”

He slowly approached the zombie and took off the white mask he had worn for the past few days to cover her face.

His bare face revealed in the mask was full of ugly scars and wounds that were hard to see with his eyes open.

Countless various scars were carved on his face, including a cut from his right forehead to his chin.

Despite the fact that less than two weeks had passed since the destruction began, the man’s face was strangely scarred.

Those wounds and scars made it possible to know how much he must have struggled in that short amount of time. And he also let me know that it wasn’t just zombies he killed.

From the moment she became a zombie, the man stopped taking care of himself.

I just kept moving towards the given goal. And now, at last, that effort was about to bear fruit.

“Hee-seon. Today, people who will fight with me have come with me. Everyone got the same revelation as me. But didn’t you bring it? I’m afraid you’ll be embarrassed if you have too many customers. Everyone is waiting on the first floor.”

“Uhhhhh”

The man spoke to the zombie with a faint look.

Knowing that if he failed, he would never be able to return to this place again, so he thought that this might be their last meeting.

That’s why she wanted to talk with her as much as the time that had already passed.

Even though her conversation didn’t make any sense, he spoke to her.

In order to make her promise to never give up no matter what hardships she faced, she faced what she had been looking for for a long time and her … Who she was.

“There is one bad person. He said that killing that person would make the world a little more peaceful. I’ve already killed several people… But this opponent is more difficult.”

“Uh… Kia… Exactly. Just right Whoa!”

It was the ‘Goddess of Hope’ who reaped him after losing his mind and dying.

She whispered to her man:

It is said that ‘the family of the reciprocal ones has appeared on this land’.

Her man asked what it had to do with her.

Then, she warned, ‘if you let that being go, everybody will go to hell.’

Of course, the man didn’t listen. Because he was already in hell.

Nonetheless, she repeatedly urged the goddess to ‘contribute to the salvation of mankind and world peace by killing and eliminating that wicked being.’

The man completely closed his ears. She was not interested in world peace.

In the end, the goddess of hope whispered to her man who was about to die completely closing her ears.

If this feat is accomplished, ‘I will make one wish come true.’

The goddess said that she would try her best even if it was the resurrection of a person who had already died.

In this way, the goddess forcibly sealed her man’s heart, which had been torn apart, and ignited a small spark of hope. Result The man burned her fighting spirit by slaughtering enemies like mad.

“If this job is done well, then. She said she would then give it back to Him. Therefore. Until then, let’s be patient… Okay, Heesun-ah…”

He was not looking at zombies who lost their wits and only coveted the flesh and blood of the living.

The man was looking a little farther away. It was a memory planted deep in her heart and an illusion created by affection.

She once loved her very passionately, and thus promised her a hundred years, and she saw the only ‘love’ she gave her all in the end.

What her man is looking at is not a zombie who loses his will and tries to devour himself.

She was a beautiful ‘wife’.

“Sun-ah… Hee-seon-ah…”

He studied the face of the zombie, who still didn’t recognize him and only cried strangely.

It was very difficult to find traces of her past on the rotting zombie’s face, but in his eyes, it was more beautiful than anything else.

Looking down at the face of the one he loved, he recalled a time in the past that had passed.

The fresh school days when we walked down the street together, holding hands and whispering love in our ears.

Furthermore, the single room at the time when we lay face to face, whispered that we loved each other, and kissed each other.

Lastly, her warm arms as she smiled brightly and hugged her despite her sloppy proposal, which was a bit awkward and full of mistakes.

“Uuuuu…”

The zombie’s cry brought the man back to reality.

When he returned to reality, what was reflected in front of his eyes was so blatant despair.

The guy called reality was so harsh and cruel that he collapsed from the bottom of his heart and was frustrated enough to not be able to stand up.

Now that she had completely rotted away and her past had become harder to find, her man remembered the day he couldn’t be with her.

The moments of regret that made him vomit blood were arbitrarily flashbacked and tormented him.

I remember it so vividly that it was disgusting. The night when destruction began.

That day, for some reason, she had hoped that her wife would come home soon.

Her man replied indifferently to such a text message from his wife, saying that he will be a little late because he is busy today.

In the end, I sensed something strange too late and hurriedly returned home, but by then, almost everything was over.

The front door was wide open. The screams of her wife could be heard from the bedroom.

‘Heeseon-ah!!!’

‘Aaaaa…! Hey, here!’

A wife who reached out for help after being attacked by zombies.

Her arm had already been bitten off by a zombie.

While watching her struggle with her pain as she turned into a zombie, the man was terrified of her moment and couldn’t do anything.

She couldn’t get any closer and stopped, denying the reality, saying that this was nonsense.

Then he came to his senses and ran to rescue his wife.

However, by then, her wife had already completely turned into a zombie.

He was late In a matter of minutes, he lost everything about himself.

If only I had come home 10 minutes, no, 1 minute earlier. Or if I had run right away as soon as I received her text.

Could it have been saved? Could we have been together

He cursed himself

“Woo-wook…”

The memory of that day came back to him, and the man forcibly swallowed back the feeling of vomiting that was about to pour out.

He forced himself to suppress his hatred and self-blame for not being able to save his wife. Now is not the time to indulge in such remorse.

Still, the man thought. It was a thought that had been repeated many times before.

If only I could turn back time.

If only I could go back to that day.

That he would never leave her side.

No matter what, I regretted countless times that even if she died with her, I would have spent her days hugging her.

“Okay. Hee Sun-ah. If we finish this job well… Let’s live together again.”

The man reached out his right hand affectionately toward the zombie. Without the slightest hesitation or fear.

Towards the hideous zombies who can’t recognize anything now, who just greedily follow the blood and flesh of the living according to their instincts.

Fast!

Hard. Ugjeok. Wooddeuk…

The zombie poked her head at the hand of her man who was coming towards her and bit her mercilessly.

Bitten, chewed and swallowed. She ravenously coveted her man’s rough fingers.

The man who openly gave his right hand to the zombie did not frown once.

Rather, with an infinitely friendly smile, he simply offered her right hand for the woman he loved.

Even if they are chewed and torn, they do not show any signs of pain.

I just patiently endured it.

She would have been in more pain than this if she had waited for herself alone. That she would have suffered more. Thinking that she would have been more difficult, painful, lonely, and afraid.

She chewed and swallowed the throbbing pain that made her teeth quiver. Pain was a familiar thing to him.

He stretched out her left hand, which hadn’t yet been bitten, and brushed the dead zombie hair as if stroking her lover’s head.

With her bloodstained hands, he stroked the hair of the woman he loved, loved, and will forever love.

“No matter what happens, I’ll take you back.”

Tears no longer flow from the man’s eyes.

His heart, which had dried up even the tear ducts from a certain moment, was infinitely cold and empty.

“Therefore. I’m waiting for you.”

He got back up and walked away from the zombies just as he had come back.

His right hand, which had been ripped off soon after, was gradually restored.

In the place where his finger had been bitten off, a bone grew and a muscle attached to it, returning it to its original state.

The skill ‘regeneration of the extremity’ obtained at level 13.

Now he could regenerate the loss of his hands and feet as long as he had enough mana.

Also, he got a divine body that does not turn into a zombie even if he is bitten by a zombie.

This is thanks to the skill he acquired when he reached level 15, ‘Sea Poison Immunity’.

As a result, he could now stroke the hair of the woman he loved to his heart’s content.

So, ahead of the battle that might be the last, the man was finally able to visit his wife, who had been neglected.

“I am you I’ll make sure to get you back the way you were. Absolutely. I will bring you back…”

He repeated the same words over and over again to her, his only childhood friend and only love, to whom he had given her his own innocence and love, and who had received her innocence and love as well.

It was a desperate resolution, determination, and firm commitment.

There are no failures.

Kill the target

Get her wife back

He doesn’t waver anymore

He has a rock-hard mind and the strength to not back down even in the face of death.

“Then, I’ll go.”

The door was closed again. As he left the house, the man put the mask back on.

In a room full of darkness, only one zombie is left, howling desperately as if to catch her husband who is about to die.

****

“You are late.”

“Sorry. Master.”

A man in a torn suit, holding an Ankh-shaped cross, approached the man.

His name is Park Ki-hoon. He was once a pastor of a pseudo-church, but when the world was destroyed, he awakened as a real ‘priest’ and became a true religious leader.

“Madam. That’s why you shouldn’t call me a religious leader.”

And now, he hates being called a ‘religious leader’. He said that even though he was the de facto leader of the team, he was tired of being the leader.

“All right. Pastor.”

“Damn it… I’m not even a pastor anymore.”

Behind him stood people with various armaments.

All of them were players with one common goal, and although they worshiped different gods, they were prayerrs belonging to the Jinsin camp.

“Mister. What’s that scar on your hand? Shall I heal you?”

“No. It has already been played.”

Kim Ye-won, a girl with golden hair, approached and asked as she looked at the man’s hand dripping with blood.

In her hands were an unknown old scripture and a mace covered in zombie blood and flesh.

Awakening as ‘Saint Maiden’ and even changing her hair color, she was the most gifted person in her team.

She is a girl called ‘Saint’.

Of course, she was said to be a girl, and to be considered a real girl, she was well past her 20s, but everyone treated her as her child because of her unique beauty.

“Okay? Then let’s go. Time for the goddamn ‘heathen hunt.'”

At that time, Kang Chan-seok, a bald and muscular man who pretended to be cool, forcibly intervened in the conversation to impress Kim Ye-won.

He was also a strong man who reached level 15 and obtained ‘poison immunity’, and a man who awakened as a ‘monk’ and gained a strong body.

“Okay, let’s go. I’m sorry everyone was late because of me.”

The man slightly bowed his head to the people who had been waiting for him.

They answered him with a smile full of trust. The man was a reliable vanguard and a fighting spirit.

The 8-member death squad gathered to kill the evil spirit worshipers, each armed with their own weapons, moved toward the same goal without hesitation.

Each of them imagines a different future, resolves to create a better world, and furthermore, to recover the lost.

‘I’ll definitely kill you… Cultist.’

The man focused her eyes on the building of her mart, which had begun to dimly appear in the distance.

His name, who has awakened as ‘Holy Night’, is Lee Han-seok.

He was a level 15 paladin and a man with the fighting spirit of a berserker.

The paladin ‘never’ collapses.

Breaking down everything that gets in your way.

Just moving forward
