Chapter 144 – 144. The First Night With the Beautiful Lady From a Rich Family and a Blonde Ponytail Lady. [First Night With the Elf Palace Lady][1]
“Is there a possibility of a zombie wave, sister?”
After some time, Jo Yu-jin, Jeong Ha-na, and Kim Jun-ho also participated.
Jo Yoo-jin talked about what she experienced while handling the Return to School mission today, and Jang Man-cheol’s eyes widened at the possibility of a zombie wave mentioned in the process.
“Uh. It’s not just a lot of zombies rushing around. “It felt like I was moving with a certain flow.”
“It’s not that active yet, but it’s definitely something out of the ordinary.”
Nod… Nod… Nod… Nod…
Jo Yu-jin nodded her head appreciatively at Jang Man-cheol’s reaction.
“There was some talk about a zombie wave, but on the Internet…”
First of all, Kim Jun-ho showed the most active reaction.
Since Kim Jun-ho was an informant within the camp, he had already heard about the zombie wave.
And I told this to Jang Man-cheol.
“Yes. Junho, you told me that. At that time, no matter how many awakened people we created, aren’t zombies a bit less causal? “That’s what I thought.”
Jang Man-cheol remembered that Kim Jun-ho had told him a story about the zombie wave.
It was impossible for the two of them to just prepare for everything.
Apocalyptic situation,
This is because resources are limited and there are already a mountain of other enemies.
For that reason, we cross-checked as much as possible and prioritized what was realistic and visible.
“No matter how I looked at it… I didn’t feel like there was any room for the zombies to move in a unique way.”
“In some ways, the existence of a zombie itself is unusual, but the movement itself did not feel that unusual.”
Jang Man-cheol talked about why he and Kim Jun-ho made that decision.
In the visual realm, zombies are simply moving beings with rotten flesh.
Like the awakened ones, it didn’t immediately feel like something unusual was happening.
I had no choice but to assume that the disease was simply spread by a virus.
“It’s not very much, but zombies also have mana. “I think there will be a possibility of a zombie wave because of that.”
Kim Tae-sik finally brought up the story about zombie mana.
He also thought that talking about the possibility of a zombie wave would be difficult to accept.
He was Kim Tae-sik, who decided that it should be done in parallel with helping zombies understand the mana they possess.
“Even zombies have mana?”
When Jang Man-cheol heard those words, his eyes widened even further.
“Somehow, in my case, I gained the ability to sense mana.”
“As this mana detection ability continued to develop, I learned that zombies, although not as strong as the awakened ones, clearly possess mana in different amounts.”
Kim Tae-sik, who developed the ability to detect mana while having sex with Yeon Yeon-hee.
But he couldn’t bear to reveal the truth openly, so he talked about it in private.
“In fact, the reason we were able to capture the tentacle pervert awakened person could be seen as due to that ability. “She is someone who fights based on mana, so I kept reading the changes in her mana and adjusting accordingly.”
He then increased his persuasive power by bringing to the fore the number of cases that could be considered his greatest achievements.
“I see… I was vaguely thinking that I caught it because my brother was a special kid, but there was such a detailed background.”
The ability to detect mana is certainly great, but
Since Jang Man-cheol’s experience with Kim Tae-sik was outside the standard of specialness, he quickly accepted it.
In addition, it was easier to accept as it was linked to the issue of the tentacle pervert awakened person confirmed through the data provided by Kim Jun-ho.
“But the mana of the zombies. When they are individually, they don’t have that much influence. So, under normal circumstances, you can only think of it as a body moving.”
“Then, when they gather, to be precise, when they gather and gather due to the action of mana and the number exceeds a certain number, it seems that from then on, mana acts like a lump and begins to lead the zombies more independently.”
As Jang Man-cheol began to accept his words,
Taesik Kim also explained the theories he had been researching.
“Ah…”
When Jang Man-cheol heard the story, his expression became quite serious.
“If you think as you said… You are saying that we need to continuously weed out the zombies. So that large numbers of people do not gather together.”
There is no guarantee that the phenomenon being witnessed now will develop into a truly massive zombie wave.
However, the only thing that can block that possibility is continuous pruning.
“You could say that this is one of the reasons why I am telling this story now. Because I can’t go all over the place and catch zombies. If we do that, I think there will be a conflict with other campers before we fight the zombies.”
“Anyway, Mancheol, in the process of coming here, you can ask other camps to open the way. “It seems realistic to work together to continuously defeat zombies.”
If a zombie wave occurs, those who will suffer the most will be general survival camps.
Since the childhood younger sister of Jo Yu-jin, the woman he loves, is the leader of such a survival camp, Kim Tae-sik needed to give her advice.
“It won’t be easy… To be honest, in my case, I have seen a lot of my brother’s abilities, so I trust what he is saying… But the people in the other camps won’t believe me, regardless of whether they are friendly with me or not.”
“Everyone is exhausted from other problems.”
Jang Man-cheol stuck out his tongue.
This is because we know that persuading people is more difficult than defeating zombies or fighting other awakened people.
“I guess so.”
Nod… Nod… Nod…
Kim Tae-sik nodded his head thoughtfully at Jang Man-cheol’s words.
“But Taesik, what did you mean when you talked about the dark side before we all got together?”
Soon, Jam Man-cheol asked a question about something that Kim Tae-sik had mentioned in passing as if joking.
“That is somewhat an extension of what I said so far, but…”
Sigh…
Kim Tae-sik stroked his chin as if he was thinking about how to explain it.
“That tentacle pervert awakener, the mana he emits is the same mana that zombies emit. To be more specific, the mana emitted by zombies is different from the mana emitted by regular awakened people, but the tentacle perverted awakened ones are the same type as zombies.”
Still, thanks to the good preliminary work I had done, I was able to immediately mention the difference between the tentacle perverted awakened person and the normal awakened person.
“Ah…”
Although it was quite radical information, Jang Man-cheol’s reaction seemed to make some sense.
“Honestly, although they are said to be awakened… It is true that they were very heterogeneous… The mana energy that was occasionally seen was different from the color of the mana that we emit…”
The mana of a normal awakened person is blue.
However, Jang Man-cheol also saw a tentacled pervert awakener spouting purple mana in the video.
“Still, they said he must be an awakened person because he uses this ability… But it makes sense since he approaches it with that mechanism…”
Jang Man-cheol directly expressed his understanding.
This is because it is actually a matter of considerable debate online.
Stories of sightings of pervert awakeners are going around. Because the scenes shown in the stories and materials were so miserable, there has been constant debate as to whether it is right to group them in the same category of awakened people.
“Anyway, in the end, if they say they have different mana themselves…”
Jang Man-cheol thought about Kim Tae-sik’s words a little more.
“Hyung, are you talking about the possibility that the power we have now is not a power that was simply created by chance? “The possibility that it was given by a transcendent being?”
After thinking about it, Jang Man-cheol deduced the dark mechanism that Kim Tae-sik was thinking about.
“Uh. That’s how I interpret it.”
“In addition to the circumstances I just described, the Tentacle Pervert Awakened guy also spoke with a similar nuance. In a way, it’s as if there is some communication between the tentacle perverts.”
Then Taesik Kim told a more specific story.
But as expected, he didn’t talk about the goddess.
“If communication takes place between pervert awakeners… I think it’s a really serious story…”
After hearing those words, Kim Jun-ho stuck out his tongue.
“So far, the communication doesn’t seem to be going smoothly. “That tentacled pervert awakened guy didn’t come looking for me from the pervert awakened dimension.”
“I guess we should just look at that as her own protruding behavior?”
Since he could not mention his relationship with Yeon Yeon-hee, Kim Tae-sik indirectly explained the tentacle pervert’s motive for his actions.
“From the zombie wave to the rise in power of pervert awakened people… It’s all happening…”
Chuck…
Jang Man-cheol leaned on the sofa and sighed.
“I will do my best on the Perverted Awakening side. Although Mancheol may be difficult on your side, I think we can use our strength to block the zombie wave in advance.”
Then, Kim Tae-sik suggested the division of roles and spoke in a way that somewhat appeased Jang Man-cheol.
**********
‘Hmm… I didn’t feel it much when I came during the day… But now that I’m lying down like this and seeing it clearly…’
After the meeting, Kim Tae-sik lay down to sleep.
‘Yujin, you’re having a hard time…’
The place where he lay was the bed in Jo Yu-jin’s storage room.
‘Just listen to Mancheol and go to a better room…’
It’s definitely very shabby.
Although Jo Yu-jin has lived an easy life, isn’t she still the daughter of a chaebol family?
She came to see her own woman living alone in such a shabby place.
Kim Tae-sik was heartbroken.
‘I think I want to go straight to the Skeletons and clean them up…’
However, Jo Yu-jin is currently a member of Daeseong-gu Survival Camp.
Kim Tae-sik thinks that at least if he wants to take her, he should have manners towards Jang Man-cheol’s side after the threat of her skeleton group is gone.
‘Knocking down zombies and going to war with people are two completely different things… Fuck…’
When Kim Tae-sik thinks about it, if he wants to deal with the skeleton group, it seems like he should go it alone.
However, it was calculated that if I organized everything on my own, the fallout would likely be significant.
This is because it is unclear how mass murder without sufficient justification will affect other camps.
Kim Tae-sik was in quite a disturbed state of mind.
“Taesik, I’m going in…”
Jo Yu-jin, who shared her room with Kim Tae-sik, seemed really happy.
It was Jo Yu-jin, who pretended to be popular with her even as she entered her room with her shy voice.
“Not at all! “Please come in, Eugene!”
Juseom…! Juseom…! Juseom…!
When Jo Yu-jin’s voice was heard, Kim Tae-sik hurriedly left the seat next to him.
Bashish…
Jo Yu-jin, looking at that scene, smiled.
She took a much longer shower than usual.
“Hey… Are you okay…? “I don’t really wear underwear when I sleep these days… Because supplies are so scarce…”
Slap… Slap… Slap… Slap…
Jo Yu-jin, walking near her bed, spoke shyly.
“Oh, of course. “It’s an apocalypse~ I did even worse things in the bunker~”
Kim Tae-sik, who was away, responded with a smile and a wave of his hand.
‘Kuuuuu!!!!!
Then he became astonished.
