Quest Given When Possessed 118

Chapter 118 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (26)

After an uncomfortable but heart-warming meal with Naeun helping us, we headed to the customer support office.

After a short meal, I saw Choi Seong-tae leave, and he was still sitting here.

Since that day, I have become very familiar with Choi Seong-tae’s face, which is still wearing a bandage, but the sight of me with a bandage on my hand must be foreign to Choi Seong-tae.

“Mr. Xian, are your hands okay?”

“I won’t be able to use it right now, but I’ll be fine after a couple of days of rest.”

“You must never overdo it. The safety of the mart and Mr. Naeun’s safety depend on Mr. Sian.”

It made me think about how I should react to those words.

From what I just said, Seongtae Choi clearly knew my purpose.

It was true that more weight was placed on Naeun’s survival than on everyone else’s survival.

If I put Naeun and the entire search team that went to kill zombies together on a scale, Naeun would be overwhelmingly heavier to me.

“But we eliminated a potential threat.”

“Two evolved zombies have already been found in the officetel where Mr. Sian lived, probably because it was infected with magic. What concerns me is that the distance from the supermarket is not that far.”

“That’s right. It seems that the time has come for the seeds of plague sowed by the Lord of Plague to grow.”

“Is that so? It’s going to get more and more difficult.”

At that time, I suddenly started hearing voices in my head.

[The world knows.]

[Compared to before the plague appeared, the number of humans has decreased by 50%.]

And there were no more words.

They just said that 50% of the human population had decreased, and the world fell silent.

“Should I say I’m halfway through life?”

Seongtae Choi shook his head and said.

“Probably, the results of dropping zombies on human-dense areas in the early stages of the plague were achieved.”

In some ways, our country, which accounts for 50 million of a population of nearly 8 billion, seemed to suffer less damage, but when you look at it globally, does that mean 4 billion people have already died?

Even if you add up the number of creatures killed by Yusian and all the possessed bodies, it would not be a thousand, but it is 4 billion.

“Honestly, I thought we wanted to be the only ones with power like Mr. Xian, but I guess that’s not the case. There needs to be more of us.”

“Other groups should also reach a level where they are not helpless against evolution zombies.”

Even if I am not the only transcendental person, it will be better for the whole world.

“If I do this, will things go back to normal after 30 days?”

Naeun, who was listening to the story next to me, said.

“I think it might be a little difficult now.”

Even if the restrictions on modern firearms are lifted, you need to battle zombies to recapture those modern firearms, and even after recapturing them, you have to battle strong zombies such as evolved zombies.

In a country like ours that is not in contact with one country, wouldn’t the map change quite a bit once this situation is over?

Because the situation is too good to start a war and fight over territory.

“My head is spinning. I’ll go and rest. Seongtaehyung.”

“Yes. Don’t overexert yourself and get enough rest. Sian…”

It seems like it takes more time to talk to me.

Looking at Choi Seong-tae’s personality so far, it doesn’t seem like he would suddenly stop talking, but it was fun that he at least tried.

“By the way, Mr. Sian, can I go to the car wash with your hands?”

“Na-eun also does enough for one person.”

“I will protect you with my life.”

“Please take care of Na-eun.”

When I left the customer support center and returned to the car wash, I felt something was missing, so I asked Naeun.

“Na-eun, did you happen to throw away my metal bat?”

“Yes. I threw it away. I picked it up to see if the search team could take it with me, but it was heavy and on the verge of breaking. Furthermore, I guess I’ll have to get a new weapon later.”

It is unfortunate that it is a weapon with a structure that makes it difficult to store mana, but it is still a good weapon in size and durability.

There are a lot of metal door frames around, so I think I’ll have to tear them down one more time.

“I think it would be good to have a more uniform structure and a stronger metal. I felt a little disappointed while using it.”

“Is there a place to get something like that? Even if there is… Ah! The gym.”

When Naeun mentioned the gym, the things inside came to mind.

When it comes to metal, that place is the most abundant.

“I think the bench press bar is a bit long for swinging, right? I think it’ll be good for thrusting. The structure will be uniform.”

“There’s a shorter one, right? I think it’s worth taking the time to look at.”

You can get weapons made of hard and durable materials, but is it too sharp to be too sharp?

I miss my 200,000 gold weapons, which has become a bit of a hit since Shadow Craft became available.

With just that sword, you could cut down the evolved zombies of this class one by one.

“So are your hands okay? There’s no doctor at the supermarket, so I can’t show it to anyone…”

“Then, shall we take the bandage off?”

“Uh, I understand.”

Naeun came towards me with a slight frown, probably remembering the condition of my hand when I first put the bandage on it.

I held out my right hand and Naeun slowly began to untie the bandage knot on my wrist.

As soon as I took off the bandage, which must have been tight, I felt like I could breathe and blood began to flow freely.

When Naeun carefully removed the bandage, a wooden board the size of my palm fell onto the bed.

It looks like a splint and a bandage tied on it.

“Huh? Huh?”

Naeun let out a noise of surprise because my hand was in better shape than he expected.

When I clenched and opened my fist, I felt a little pain, but I couldn’t say it was to the point where I couldn’t use my hand.

There was blood on the back of my hand, probably because the skin on my finger had burst. I want to wash it off quickly.

“I’ll wash my hands and come back. Shall I wash the bandage too?”

“Yes. I also brought a new bandage in my bag.”

Naeun nodded with a blank face and I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and clean the bloody bandage.

I roughly laid out the bandage where I was drying my underwear and sat down on the bed again, and Naeun began to carefully touch my right hand.

“It was clearly broken, so why is it still intact?”

“It is true that it was broken. It recovered in the meantime.”

“Recovery… Because the chosen one must continue to fight?”

Naeun held my right hand tightly with both hands and looked up at me.

Seeing Naeun looking like she was about to shed tears, I stretched out my arms and hugged Naeun.

Naeun seemed to hate the fact that I might have to fight again more than that my wounds healed quickly.

“I’ll become strong enough that you won’t have to worry. I’ll be a little more upset from now on.”

While gently stroking Naeun’s back, I made a bad promise.

“Sian, I want to learn too. I want to become stronger. Can I become stronger if I do that kind of meditation?”

Then Naeun asked me.

“Meditation is effective, but my method is suitable for men.”

He had only a superficial knowledge of martial arts, and Yeonyeomshingong was a martial art that could discriminate against people.

It is difficult to pass this on to Naeun without a proper understanding.

“Then how effective will it be if I continue to use that massage?”

“It’s effective, but I think I’ll have to focus on my treatment for now. Did you like the massage?”

“Huh? It was nice, but… Ah! But I’m definitely not asking you to prioritize your recovery. That’s because I really, really don’t want to be your burden.”

“Just today, you killed the zombie that appeared out of thin air, right? It was a very neat move, wasn’t it?”

“If Xian hadn’t helped you after that, he would have been hit again by that evolved zombie.”

The savior of survival rules, if that ability had been activated, it wouldn’t have been lacking in mental power, but it didn’t activate until the end.

Naeun fell into a crisis situation, but why?

Or could it have been activated, but I didn’t know about it?

When she thought about the skill link that delivered the final blow, she thought that she might have used something she couldn’t use.

Survival rules were strengthened as quest rewards, right? While holding Naeun in my arms, I brought up her status window.

【Skill: Survival Rules (A+)】

【Acquire the abilities necessary for survival.】

【One. Calmness – Brain rotation speed increases in crisis situations.】

【2. Perception – Can read the opponent’s movements. When activated, mental power is greatly consumed.】

【3. Combat sleep – sleep quality improves and stamina recovers quickly.】

【4. Presence detection – When you concentrate, you can sense changes in your surroundings.】

【5. Homeostasis – resistance to disease becomes stronger.】

【Surviving is not everything.】

【EX1. Savior – Has an indomitable will when there is someone to protect.】

It’s been a while since I’ve seen survival rules, and I went from A to A+ as a quest reward, but there was no significant change in my abilities.

Still, I think that since the level has gone up, mental power consumption has decreased.

The problem is that savior ability, but what did you do at that time to activate it?

Naeun got hit by an evolution zombie and was in pain, and I was also on the verge of being killed by an evolution zombie.

At that time, I raised the assimilation rate with Lee Sian to 100% in order to completely erase the desire to run away.

‘What if that EX item can be used when the assimilation rate is 100%?’

Can it be seen as Lee Sian’s skill rather than Yoo Sian’s skill?

If the power to become a transcendental level 5 can only be used when the assimilation rate is 100%, should we continue to try to increase the assimilation rate?

It is true that I am trying to be comfortable by maintaining Lee Sian’s assimilation rate at 75%.

Even if it reaches 100%, the maximum assimilation rate has increased due to the effect of self-establishment, so the original vision can be maintained at about 25%.

However, the reason they maintain 75% is that they want to be insensitive to killing.

This is because it was judged that it would be difficult for Lee Sian, who had been living in the ordinary world, if he had to kill not only zombies but also people.

‘We need to slowly raise the assimilation rate.’

The assimilation rate was not immediately raised to 100%, but increased from 75% to 80%.

There wasn’t a big difference between my body and mind, but I felt that my hands that held Naeun in my arms were gaining more strength.

As Yu-sian’s feelings for his lover Seo-yeon decreased, his feelings for Na-eun grew.

‘I think Lee Sian and Han Sian will be fine, but Sian Raven is the problem.’

The two still had a human-like scent, but when I read Cian Raven’s memories, it was difficult to understand that human.

What exactly happened that caused Princess Rosetta to die and become the King of Shadows in the ‘original’ future?

While thinking about various things, she could feel Naeun’s breathing slowing down in her arms.

He slowly removed it from his body and laid it on the bed.

‘I have to practice.’

Not much time had passed since dinner, but enough darkness had arrived for me to practice.

Since they know that my condition is not normal, the spearmen will take care of it even if a moderate risk appears.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Yeonyeom Shingong.

It is a time of enjoyable meditation for growth.
