Chapter 38 – Modifying the Goal
It’s not that loud and loud.
But even though it seems to be coming from far away, it feels heavy.
As if I wasn’t the only one who heard the sound, Minseo, who had been attacking me, blinked her wide-eyed eyes, and I hurriedly got out of bed not to miss this opportunity.
Even if you do, you need to rest for at least 10 minutes.
I would like to rest until evening if possible.
“Brother.. Just heard a sound..?”
“I heard you. I’ll check it out, so don’t move there. It could be dangerous.”
Dangerous.
Minseo moving now is too dangerous for me.
So even if it’s not a big deal, you have to act as serious as possible.
With a serious expression on my face, I opened the large master bedroom window and insect screen that stretched from my knees to the top of my head, then turned my head and looked around… There’s nothing.
I couldn’t find anything special except that quite a few zombies were going to the place where the sound came from, or they were moving in a group in a certain direction.
Fuck, I shouldn’t be like this…
“Brother, what’s going on?”
Gulp-
Dry saliva passes
What should I answer?
No big deal? If that’s the case, I’ll jump right in…
If you say it’s too serious, you’ll come here because you’re curious and try to see it with your own eyes…
Should I just jump off?
I think fighting zombies would be better than fighting Minseo right now…
“Brother?”
Dreuk-Tak!!
I closed the window at the sound of Minseo’s voice behind me and slowly turned around and walked away with a serious expression.
Then, without saying a word, she took out sweatpants and a T-shirt from her closet and started putting them on.
“Gather your weapons and go out to the living room. And I told him to kill the guy who said he was Jeong Seong-min or something and get revenge.”
“What about my brother?”
“I’ll check what’s going on in a minute and come back. I can’t confirm here, but I think something unusual has happened.”
“… Yes, got it. Be careful, brother.”
It was natural.
Completely fooled Minseo.
Now go next door and get some sleep.
Ah… But I also have to hunt…
Anytime, anywhere, I can meet someone stronger than me and suffer what I’ve done.
That’s why I can’t neglect getting stronger…
“Today pass.”
A day or so would be fine.
But what was that sound really like?
“What did you just hear… “
“W-what happened, didn’t it…?”
“When will the shelter be… “
“Noisy. Don’t talk to me because I’m tired.”
In these three years without a solution, since I killed all the people who protected them, it is normal for them to be afraid of me and avoid me, but now they mistakenly think I am their protector.
If it were me, I would try to do something myself by putting my heads together with the people I saved.
Either hunt or run away from here.
Anyway, these are years without a real answer.
But where did this otaku kid go?
If you’ve heard that, Juha! I should have jumped.
Jump!
Come on!!
“Yeah, why didn’t you come?”
“Heh-uh-huh-huh-uh-huh-huh-huh.. Did you hear the sound just now? An explosion over there… “
“Explosion?”
Out of breath, Kwon Joo-hyeok gestured as if to follow him and went out again through the open front door. I pondered for a while and followed him.
Even if you rest when you are resting, it is enough to check the identity of the sound a while ago and rest.
When I followed him to the rooftop, black smoke was rising from the top of the apartment complex, barely visible between the tall buildings.
What is a gas explosion?
No, can there be a gas explosion when there is no gas coming out?
The moment you have such a question.
Kuwoo Woong .. !!!
This time there was a fainter explosion.
Also consecutively.
Woooooung..!!
Wooooong..!!
“Eh, what the hell is going on…?”
“… “
I couldn’t say anything at Kwon Ju-hyeok’s self-talk that seemed like a question but not like a question.
And the thought of just sleeping until evening disappeared.
Clearly something is happening now.
I couldn’t see any other smoke rising from here as it was blocked by the surrounding buildings, but I was sure something was going on that might have an effect on me as well.
I think the only way to find out what it is is to go to the place where the smoke is rising.
“Hey, otaku.”
“Yes?”
“If I, Minseo, and your sister are in danger because of you, you will die by my hand. In my hands without the need for zombies. Okay?”
“… Yes.”
Kwon Joo-hyeok answers with a spleen face.
Of course, I don’t believe it, but I have to take this guy first.
I have a promise with Kwon Joo-ha, but even a worthless kid can serve as bait to throw at zombies.
Of course, there are people who can’t act as such bait, like the three women with no answers.
“Then you go down and pack your clothes in your bag and the water and food here. It’s about the weight that one person can carry.”
“All right!”
“What are you doing? Get down quickly.”
“That is… Where is the bag… “
“Do you really want to die?”
“Tea, let’s find it! No, I will save you somehow!”
“Eh… “
Watching Kwon Joo-hyeok hurriedly run down the rooftop, I shook my head and slowly walked back home.
Min-seo and Kwon Joo-ha are dressed up and out in the living room while I go to the rooftop.
However, Jeong Seong-min was still alive on the living room floor, moaning.
“Why did you keep that bastard alive?”
“That is…”
Instead of answering my question, Min-seo evaded her words and glanced at Kwon Ju-ha, and I was able to roughly guess what the situation was.
That year was the year I hadn’t killed anyone.
“Until yesterday, your eyes were turned upside down to get revenge, so can you kill me by throwing it?”
“… “
“Just count to three. If you don’t kill me in it, I will kill you. Three, two, one.”
After completing the count, I walked to the side of Kwon Joo-ha, who was looking down at Jeong Seong-min, who was lying on the floor, and raised the mace and struck it down.
Poop!!!
Jeong Seong-min slumps on the floor with a half-disappeared face.
Now is not the time to waste time on this guy.
I don’t know what it is, but it’s because I’m in a hurry to check something unusual.
“It’s not the first time I’ve seen someone gossip, so why are you making such a stupid face?”
“… “
“Eh… Kim Min-seo, bring him out. We start right away.”
“Where are you going? Are you going to the shelter?”
My first goal is to fuck every woman in the world.
Going to a shelter wasn’t in my plans.
It’s just a last resort when there are no more girls to fuck.
However, it became increasingly difficult to move, and it took three days to find a person.
And since we know that the zombies are constantly getting stronger, it’s sure to be more difficult to find others.
On the other hand, the location and existence of the shelter, which is the reason why I hesitated the most to go to the shelter, was also confirmed by the paper brought by Kwon Ju-hyeok, so it is time to revise my goal.
Of course, the route to the shelter will be decided after confirming that it is the route that I can go with my abilities.
And once…
“Start by confirming what you just heard. I’ll tell you the details as we go.”
“Yes!”
“Yeah, then we’ll prepare it too!”
“First of all, clothes… “
“Muh, shouldn’t there be a weapon too?”
Three women who are busier than Minseo or Kwon Juha.
I didn’t tell them that they didn’t have to.
I don’t intend to take her away, but it’s those women’s hearts that follow me.
Of course, falling behind on the way is also the result of those women’s choices.
It is questionable whether we will be able to meet the departure time with us before then.
“Hey! Otaku!!”
“Hey, here it is!!”
Kwon Joo-hyeok, who immediately responded to my shouting voice as soon as he left the front door, came out of the next door whimpering with two bags on his shoulders and two bags in each hand.
I told him to pack it so that that crazy bastard could carry it, and he came out with a very packed mover.
“Are you kidding me?! How can you run with it!”
“Ha, one is worth it!”
“What are your strength stats?”
“I’m 8, but…”
“Are you giving me advice?”
“It’s 6.”
“Aww, you boring bastard. How the hell did you survive?”
“… “
Currently, most zombies are moving in groups to the place where the sound came from.
That means now is the most suitable moment to move.
So, before blaming the otaku for its stupidity, I distributed the bags one by one and started taking out the items in the bag I was going to carry.
The weight is also heavy, but the volume must be reduced as much as possible so that it does not interfere with movement and does not cause mishaps to be caught by zombies.
“Okay, finished.”
“We are done too!”
“I-I’m done too!”
“… Is it really over? Are you going to run with it?”
“… “
“Do as you please. You’re going behind, because you’re going behind.”
Unlike Kwon Joo-ha’s bag, which had become thinner with Min-seo’s help, I looked at Kwon Joo-hyeok’s bag, which was still fat, and shook my head.
“Kim Min-seo, Kwon Joo-ha. Is that a weapon?”
“Yes.”
“Yes..”
“This is enough for me too!”
“I didn’t ask.”
“… “
I had a mace, Minseo had a sword about 60cm long, Kwon Jooha had a short spear of similar length, and finally, Kwon Joohyeok had a hatchet that looked quite menacing.
Weapons are OK, food and water are OK, and change of clothes is OK.
“Okay then, let’s go now. Ah! If you don’t think you’ll be followed, don’t flinch. Even if you think you’re going to search, you quietly search.”
“… “
“And don’t pout at my decision. The moment you ask whether you should do it this way or that way, you throw it away.”
After I finished speaking, I jumped down the emergency stairs, checked my stats, and purchased level 8 strength.
『Name: Kang Ha-jin (27)
Height: 183 cm Weight: 77 kg
Attributes: Strong Mental Power (D), Agile Movement (E)
Coins: 37
[Strength Lv.8] [Agility Lv.11] [Stamina Lv.6] [Luck Lv.3]』
Maybe it’s because Jung Woo-bin swept everyone’s coins in order to fight me, but the coins I stole and the people I killed didn’t add up to 100 coins.
Just enough to buy 8 levels of strength.
I wouldn’t have bought this if it hadn’t been for the zombies I killed on my way here.
By the way, if you keep raising your stats like this, when will you raise your luck and get a talent?
My luck is level 3, so 860 coins to make level 10.
Are you going to be able to survive without raising other stats until then?
Jump-
“Why are you here… “
“… “
“No! I think it’s right to go here too!”
“Just shut up.”
“… “
Kwon Joo-hyeok questioned me as I entered the hallway on the first floor after running down the emergency stairs.
In this apartment, the first floor was originally made into an empty parking lot, and the first floor starts from the height of 1.5 floors, so you have to go down one more floor to go outside.
But in a world like this, I’m probably the only otaku who thinks I have to go out the door stupidly.
Jump-
“Sah, save me!!”
“Help me!!”
“Shut up and get out of the way.”
Some of the people I kept alive begged me to save them when they suddenly broke into the house, but I ignored them and went from house to house looking for the safest exit.
“Here.”
A narrow alley behind the apartment where there are probably high school students smoking.
Zombies wandering around are invisible, and the distance to the building in the back is only a few feet away.
Then, after going out here, I should move from building to building, breaking through the window and entering that building…
“Now, wait a minute!”
“We are here!!”
“Ha..! Ha..! Ha..!”
The three women arrived at amazing timing.
They’ll die on their own if you follow them anyway, but if you’re noisy for nothing, you’ll attract the zombies’ attention, so it’s better to leave them here…
No, really
“Hey.”
“Yes? Haha..”
“I’m going to go out here and go right into that building.”
“Ah… Yes All right!”
“Then go first.”
“Me, me..?”
“If I leave late, the crowd of zombies will attack me right away, will it be okay?”
“Ah… Yes, then I will go first!”
“Brother… “
“Shut up.”
It’s also a fast-paced year.
I already know why I’m doing this.
Pulling the hem of her dress, Minseo called for me to be quiet. I kindly opened the window wide and lifted the woman up and put her on the window sill.
“Joe, it’s a little high..”
“Nothing. There is no need to be afraid.”
“… Yes. Then I’ll jump.”
Finding confidence in my cheering, the woman nodded her head with her determined face, and she took a small deep breath and jumped down her window sill.
“Wow!!”
Cheeky!
The height is lower than the second floor, but the woman couldn’t land properly and fell forward and screamed.
Are you okay?
Oh, of course I’m not worried about that woman’s safety.
As I said, this is a parking lot with the first floor open.
I sent it down first because I didn’t know what might be in the parking lot below the apartment that I can’t see from my sight.
If it’s safe, go right down, if it’s not safe…
“Keah!!”
“Aaah!!”
“Kyaaaaagh!! Save me… “
Kwajik! Kwajik!
Enemy!! Wooddeuk!!
Zombies rush in and devour women in an instant.
That’s well over twenty.
As expected, there must have been quite a few zombies hanging around the door since it was an apartment with human sounds.
“Uh, what should I do..!”
“No.. I have to save him..!”
“It’s dangerous here. Let’s go somewhere else. Follow me too.”
“… “
“… “
“Bad guy..”
“What?”
“No~ Just talking to myself, hehe~”
Minseo, who was aware of my intentions in advance, chased after me as I moved calmly, but the two women who arrived late and Kwon Joo-ha and Kwon Ju-hyeok reacted only after a long time.
Of course, the two women gave up following me, and the siblings, who looked completely different, followed me with faces full of distrust and worry.
“Now, you go down first this time.”
“Me, me..?”
“No! I’ll go down first!”
“No. Because you can’t die And he won’t accept that?”
Kwon Joo-hyeok, whose eyes quivered left and right at my words of encouragement, pulled Kwon Ju-ha by the shoulder and stepped forward.
“I will go down first. Come down when it’s safe for you.”
“Brother!”
“Quiet. All the zombies will gather because of your voice. Are you going to kill my brother?”
“Hey, this is not it! You said you would take your brother too!”
“You are taking me. And I would have told you not to spit out my words?”
“But..!”
While Kwon Joo-ha grabbed the hem of my clothes and shouted, Kwon Joo-hyeok was already on the window sill.
You fat bastard, you did well.
“Oh, brother… “
Widely-
Kwon Joo-hyeok jumped down before Joo-ha Kwon could catch him.
Yes, it is useful to do this much.
I quickly put his head out the window to check the condition of Kwon Joo-hyeok, who had jumped down.
“Keah!!”
“Aaah!!”
Wheeik!!
Chuck!!
“Ugh..!”
As soon as he landed on the ground, Kwon Joo-hyeok drove an ax into the head of one of the two zombies that rushed at him, and with his left hand grabbed the zombie’s neck from the side and entered into a contest of strength.
And behind my back, five real zombies were running.
“No… “
What’s wrong
Thank you for five.
Tadat-
Puck!!
Kwajik!!!
I immediately climbed onto the window sill and jumped down, stepping on the zombie’s head with my right foot and slamming it on the floor.
Poop!!
“Otaku, are you alive?”
“Yes..! Alive… Aww!!”
Suwook!! Chuck!!!
I glanced back at Kwon Joo-hyeok, who pulled out the ax that was deeply embedded in the zombie’s head and killed the zombie that was competing for strength.
“Quiet.”
“… Yes..”
Afterwards, Kwon Joo-ha and Min-seo came down safely, and we quickly moved the distance of about 800 meters.
That’s how we arrived at the rooftop of an apartment building along the river.
And what we found there…
“My leg is broken… “
“The Banpo Bridge over there… “
Damn, that explosion sounded like a bridge blowing up.
To live only for them, these bastards..!
