Chapter 186 – 186. The Beginning of the Zombie Wave [Zombie Wave][1]
“They just say it’s a zombie wave? “Have you seen the zombie wave I caused?”
Claudia tried to express it roughly by saying that she was going to kill him through zombies.
However, Cloudy was amused when Kim Tae-sik went one step further and mentioned the zombie wave itself.
“I happened to see a zombie wave occurring in another city. By the way, I guess you didn’t hear what Kang Seok-gu and I said a little while ago. “I also talked about the zombie wave with that guy.”
Sigh…!
Kim Tae-sik, who answers coolly,
Kim Tae-sik, who had been somewhat intimidated by Claudia the whole time, smiled quite confidently.
This is because I have a general idea of what type of talent Claudia has.
When Kim Tae-sik saw her, Claudia seemed like she wasn’t the type to engage in direct combat.
“Anyway, that’s right. I’m causing a zombie wave. “I will finish you off with that zombie wave.”
“You definitely showed great abilities in the last battle, but that’s it. If you face the zombie wave, you will be defeated. “If you run away, the world will spread rumors about your identity and embarrass you.”
As if she wasn’t going to lose momentum to Kim Tae-sik, Claudia crossed her arms again and confidently revealed her fighting style.
Not only that, but as a witch who values her honor, she even came up with an idea of revenge that was very hers.
“…”
Then, he looked at Kim Tae-sik for a moment with haughty eyes.
“That’s surprising. “I thought that if I came out completely like this, they would immediately attack me.”
It was as if Kim Tae-sik did not move as she expected.
“Oh, why… We exchanged information in a good way, so why would we do something like that?”
However, Kim Tae-sik responded that it was natural.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but at least at this moment, the Claudia in front of him is closer to an object of exchange.
“For some reason, that look on their face right now seems like they were hoping for me to attack them first, right?”
“For a person like that, he’s so lifeless that I don’t really feel like attacking him here either.”
Claudia’s reaction just before, as reflected in Kim Tae-sik’s eyes, was also unexpected.
Very coolly and confidently, she came out and said that she was the subject of the zombie wave.
It seemed like she wanted to provoke Kim Tae-sik into a preemptive attack through it.
“That’s right. I was hoping to attack first. “If that were the case, I think I would have felt much more at ease in the future.”
A bitter smile appeared on Claudia’s face as she obediently acknowledged her intentions.
It was a zombie wave to Taewang Metropolitan City that was undesirable for various reasons.
She wanted to wash away that undesirability by getting a preemptive attack from Kim Tae-sik.
But Kim Tae-sik didn’t do that.
Claudia felt that she had to start working despite this undesirable feeling.
“I’m sorry. “But I’m not the type of person to force myself to do something I don’t feel like doing.”
Sigh…!
Kim Tae-sik expressed his regret with a slight nod.
“I’ll give you a reward for making me feel weird.”
Months…!
Claudia, who received Kim Tae-sik’s expression of regret, half-turned around.
That appearance was created based on the trust that Kim Tae-sik would not attack him now.
“The zombie wave heading to Taewang Metropolitan City has already departed.”
Shooooo!
After that, she threw a really big gift and disappeared, not as cloaking, but as if she was moving through space.
**********
“Oh, Mancheol, is the underground shelter construction going well?”
Kim Tae-sik, who was working on his computer, received a call from Jang Man-cheol.
It has been three days since I met Claudia.
“Yeah, there’s no point in talking to the other camps around us. “Even if it’s just your Daeseong-gu survival camp, it’s better to build an evacuation facility first.”
“There is no time to persuade, and it is not a matter of being persuaded even if you persuade.”
Kim Tae-sik only included Daeseong-gu Survival Camp, where Jang Man-cheol and Jeong Ha-na belong, as a realistic safety guarantee target.
Even so, it was a possible measure because the people there had increased their affinity for Kim Tae-sik during the previous suppression of the Skeleton Group.
“Food… Hmm, well… Based on the video I saw, it wasn’t like the zombie wave came in and stayed for a while.”
“It literally felt like a tidal wave coming in and sweeping me away.”
“However, there is a possibility that the shelter itself may become isolated due to the building collapsing in the process. I think we need to stock up on a certain amount of food and install an oxygen tank. There’s a spare oxygen tank here, so take it. “Anyway, from what I can see, this bunker doesn’t seem to be a target.”
“There’s quite a bit of food left from the stockpile we brought from the Skull Corps last time, right? “I think that would be enough, right?”
The distribution of food to the Skulldan headquarters, which was implemented to divert attention from Kang Seok-gu, unintentionally helped in the current situation.
The thought that people in Daeseong-gu will run out of food if they listen to Kim Tae-sik’s words has become ingrained in them.
“Okay then, good luck.”
Damn it! Da da da da da da da da! Da da da da da da da da!
Kim Tae-sik finished the phone call while working on the computer, looking quite busy.
“Hah… Isn’t that a pseudo-religious group in Seoul…? That can’t be possible, but that woman had that kind of vibe… Like a necromancer… Hanging out with a demon lord…”
Looking at the monitor, Kim Tae-sik tilted his head with an expression of disbelief.
Since Claudia was not wearing her witch costume, there was no way for Kim Tae-sik to know her identity.
However, since she has a very unique aura and we also learned that she controls zombies, she inferred a similar image.
And since that image matched the pseudo-religious group that Kim Tae-sik was most suspicious of recently, he inferred that the epicenter of the zombie wave might be there.
However, there were no signs of a zombie wave in Seoul, where the pseudo-religious group was located.
“She was happy to get information from that woman… But she thought about it too much and ended up going through a mess…”
“If she didn’t know, she might have been killing all the fucking zombies by now…”
Scratching…! Scratching…! Scratch… Scratch…!
Taesik Kim lamented his mistake in judgment and scratched his head.
After hearing from Claudia that the zombie wave had started, Kim Tae-sik made a plan to destroy the zombie wave.
This is because he believed that he could figure out where the zombie wave he saw in the video was coming from if he made up his mind to collect information.
It was thought that if it was found long before it reached Taewang Metropolitan City, it would be able to weaken it by going out to meet it in advance, nibbling away little by little, and retreating repeatedly.
However, I couldn’t find the stem of the zombie wave that I thought I would find right away, and a day, two, three days passed like that.
“Aww fuck what should I do? Should I go out and accumulate zombie points now? At this point, I really need to crawl into every corner like a dog?”
Buck! Buck! Buck! Buck! Buck! Buck! Buck!
Kim Tae-sik, who had difficulty making choices, complained of stress, scratching his head like crazy, just like Jang Man-cheol.
[Kim Jun-ho, whom I saved: Brother! It’s me, Junho. Can you talk now?]
At that moment, I received a text message from Kim Jun-ho, who was collecting information about the zombie wave with Kim Tae-sik.
[Harem Hero Kim Tae-sik: Haha! Of course, Junho. But I think it would be better to do it via text. [Because of personal circumstances…]
Kim Tae-sik, who was mentally exhausted, did not want to show his helper like the idiot he was.
So he hid behind the text.
[Kim Jun-ho, whom I saved: Texting is enough, bro.]
[Harem Hero Kim Tae-sik: Oh… This feels good for some reason. What did you find?]
[Kim Jun-ho, whom I saved: It’s a bit ambiguous. I think we can say that we found an abnormality.]
Indeed, it was Kim Jun-ho.
Before the intervention of the Dark Awakened, Kim Jun-ho, who alone had the upper hand in the information war against the four technician awakeners of the Skull Corps, seemed to have obtained information that could save Kim Tae-sik, who had suffered a mental breakdown.
[Kim Jun-ho, who I saved: Actually, I discovered this data about three evenings ago, but brother, as the data accumulated, I discovered something strange.]
[Kim Jun-ho, whom I saved: What can I say… The scale is too mediocre? It was a much smaller group of zombies than the data you sent me. So I just assumed it wasn’t the case.]
[Kim Jun-ho, whom I saved: However, two days later, similar numbers were maintained and they were moving along the road.]
Kim Jun-ho started talking about the movement of the zombie group he had captured.
‘Hmm… As Junho said, there is a big difference from the scale of the zombie wave I previously knew… But is it at the level of the scale that ended in the shopping complex? ‘It seems a little less than that?’
Kim Tae-sik looked at the materials that Kim Jun-ho had enclosed. Some of the photos were taken by someone else, and some were hacked photos of road surveillance cameras that were still in operation.
[Kim Jun-ho, who saved my life: So I felt guilty and investigated in more detail. I feel like this is something worth telling my brother about.]
[Kim Jun-ho, who I saved: There were several more movements of similar-sized zombie groups showing similar movements.]
The hundreds of zombie waves discovered by Kim Jun-ho were not just one.
[Harem Hero Kim Tae-sik: Not one?]
[Kim Jun-ho, whom I saved: Yes. First of all, I only found about five.]
Kim Tae-sik showed quite a big reaction.
“No way…”
At that moment, something seemed to be drawn in Kim Tae-sik’s mind.
[Harem Warrior Kim Tae-sik: Have you figured out the direction in which the zombie group is moving?]
[Kim Jun-ho, whom I saved: Yes, I judged it by taking all of that into consideration.]
[Kim Jun-ho, who saved my life: I will send you a map.]
In response to Kim Tae-sik’s question, Kim Jun-ho immediately sent additional data.
“Ha fuck… I didn’t think they were moving like this… I should have gotten a hint from the fact that they were all scattered after the city was destroyed…”
As shown on the map, medium-sized stalks of zombies from different areas gradually gathered together.
“Anyway, I fucking found it!!!!!”
Kim Tae-sik, who found a clue, finally recovered his mentality.
“Uh, yes, Junho, it’s me!”
So, no longer hiding behind text messages, I started talking confidently with my voice.
“So, from what you can see, it looks like a structure where medium-sized zombie waves come together and turn into a large-scale zombie wave?”
“Yes, I think so, bro. In fact, I kept guessing the direction of travel and it turned out that it ended up reaching a major road. “The road leads to Taewang Metropolitan City.”
“That’s right… I enlarged the map and saw that it connects to the 16-lane Taewang Road… Okay…”
Kim Tae-sik spoke on the phone with Kim Jun-ho and personally looked for and checked the map on the Internet.
“If that’s the case, our primary response method is different.”
Nod… Nod… Nod… Nod…
Then he checked the path of the medium-sized zombie wave again and nodded with a confident face.
“Let’s attack each individual as much as we can, Junho.”
That is Kim Tae-sik’s favorite tactic, the individual attack school.
