Chapter 120 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (28)
Of course there were zombies on the way to the department store.
It’s rather strange that there weren’t any zombies on the way to the gym.
Fortunately, the number of zombies was not that large, and they were far enough away that they could be defeated individually.
Of course, from my standards, I felt like if Naeun fought as the main character, I would have to keep pace.
Seeing that the number of zombies is so small, it seems like a group has formed near or in a department store. Is this also a pointless step?
“I will do it. Sian, please watch the back.”
“Okay. Should I check to see if your senses are alive?”
“Don’t forget that I saved you yesterday?”
If you think about it, you can’t help but feel it.
Naeun is not a woman like a flower in a greenhouse.
She is a woman who can take up arms to protect herself and me.
When Naeun, holding a baseball bat with both hands, approached the zombie, the zombie saw Naeun and her eyes turned red.
“Geeeeep!!”
As the zombie screamed, other zombies also looked at Naeun.
If the guys in the back weren’t there, I would go out and help, but would it have been better to reach an agreement by force?
Those confirmed by presence detection began to move.
“You fucking idiot. Are you just watching your woman fight?”
“Hey! Let’s go! Fuck!”
I guess they are bad people.
He ran a little away so as not to bump into me.
“Ignore those people and continue!”
Naeun said something to make her not pay attention to the change behind her, and Naeun hit the head of the zombie she had initially captured with a baseball bat.
Gaaaaang!
As the refreshing sound of the baseball bat spread, more zombies nearby began to flock.
Naeun swung her baseball bat a few more times at the zombie’s head lying on the floor.
Kang! Kang! Whoa!
When the zombie’s head clearly exploded, Naeun looked around her and could see the men following us dealing with her zombie.
“Hey, thank you!”
“If there’s a problem with that damn lover, tell me! I’ll help you!”
“Don’t curse at my boyfriend!!!”
While other people were feeling embarrassed and dealing with zombies with weapons similar to spears, I also stepped forward.
“Sian, are you going to do it?”
“It’s okay. You can do it, don’t worry.”
After a short conversation, we aimed the spear we were holding with our left hand at the zombie running towards us.
“Kyaaaaa!!!”
When the zombie running towards me, making a low sound from its throat, came into range, my composure was activated, and I used my insight to clearly read the movement of the head.
I held the spear firmly with my left hand and used rotational force to stab him in the head.
Whoa, whoa!!
The zombie’s head exploded in an instant under the attack of the spear with rotating force, and my spear was also damaged.
The kitchen knife held in place with tape cannot withstand my strength.
She should have stopped moving completely by just stabbing and twisting her head.
As Naeun retrieved the spear with a bit of regret, he smashed another zombie’s head with a swing of the baseball bat.
Pow! Pow! Pakak!
When Naeun, two men, and four men killed three zombies, the nearby zombies disappeared.
“Good job. You’re still good with a baseball bat, right?”
“But I learned the convenience of windows. Now I want to use windows too.”
If you think about measuring distances with a baseball bat and swinging until your head breaks, the spear was clearly a safe and efficient weapon.
I guess I’ll have to go to the supermarket and get an iron spear or make one.
“Let’s change the weapon…? Huh? Why is it broken?”
Naeun asked after seeing my window with the tape torn off, and only the bar left.
“It broke after I used it once.”
“The durability seemed poor. Considering that I broke that stupid bat, I didn’t think it would last long.”
“The other person wasn’t normal, right?”
While I was chatting comfortably with Naeun, four men approached us cautiously.
“If you want to talk over there, you should go into a quiet building. And what about you? Why are you so good at fighting?”
“Of all the people we’ve seen, he’s quite skilled, right? Where does he belong? I asked him earlier, but he didn’t even answer.”
Then a person who appeared to be a representative of the men spoke.
“This is Ji Sang-soo from Hyorim High School. Before this world came to be, I was a police officer.”
Then he took out his police official ID card from his pocket and showed it to me.
It was the police station near here, and the photo and face matched.
“Are the others police officers too?”
“No. We are the main team and lead the scouting team. The others are volunteers.”
Naeun was speechless at the name Hyorim High School.
Because I knew that the people I killed last time at the supermarket were from Hyorim High School.
Perhaps because he was a police officer, he caught Naeun’s unnaturalness and spoke.
“Do you know Hyolim High School?”
“That’s the high school on the west side. It’s the official evacuation center. What brings you here?”
“My colleagues who went out on reconnaissance went missing. I recovered my smartphone, but while following the route I took, I met two people and followed them.”
Have you installed an app that can track your location?
If we had taken it to the supermarket to increase the number of usable cell phones, a war would have broken out right now.
Seeing as they hid the information about the ‘broken’ smartphone from me, it seemed like they had not completely resolved my suspicions, so I answered appropriately.
“I see. In a world like this, your colleagues may not come back.”
“Hey, can I ask you one question?”
“Yes. I will answer if I can.”
Being a police officer and belonging to an official shelter had a power that made it impossible to just ignore it.
And if you listen to the story earlier, there may be someone recording right now.
“You, Batman… Aren’t you the one who took down the evolved zombies? It may sound strange, but I developed a strange intuition while watching CCTV and finding criminals.”
Do civil servants do their jobs better when the country is like this?
I was asked a question I never expected.
“Brother Sangsu, I can’t believe it. That man who puts his girlfriend first is the Batman. Wasn’t he a romanticist who fought desperately for his fallen girlfriend?”
“You said it well. My girlfriend’s expression softened when she heard that.”
“Ah!”
Naeun hid her face behind my back.
“It’s a lie. And the reaction you just gave me…”
“Can’t you say that’s a type of entrapment investigation?”
“You could say it’s a type of thing. If you are the real Batman, can you come to Hyorim High School? We continue to live with the fear of evolved zombies.”
“I have no intention of appearing in front of others. That video was filmed without my knowledge, so it can be said to be a violation of portrait rights. And since then, my hands have looked like this. If I meet an evolved zombie again, I have no confidence in defeating it.”
Ji Sang-soo said as he raised his hand, which was wrapped in a bandage.
“There are people at Hyorim High School who are both doctors and who can make weapons. Could you please consider it? Or, could you please visit at least once?”
“First, I will think about it while visiting the department store, which I originally planned to do.”
“The department store… Has now become a nest of zombies. It seems like you lack information.”
It seemed like they were trying to appeal to me about the superiority of Hyorim High School over the supermarket, but since I needed the information right away, I decided to listen.
“Don’t you know what happens when a lot of zombies gather together? Why do you leave them alone when you’re afraid of evolved zombies?”
“The zombies there are a little stronger than other zombies. If you are not a skilled hunter, you will be attacked by the zombies and become one of them.”
If you just listen to the story, there was no separate dungeon.
If you think about it, it is possible that people avoided department stores because in the beginning, they became places where many people went and suffered a lot of damage, so it was easy to think of them as places they should not go.
I personally confirmed yesterday that the zombie’s abilities become stronger as contaminated mana accumulates.
“I see. I would appreciate the information. Let’s go.”
“I told you that that place is dangerous. Are you going to go?”
“You have to see it with your own eyes.”
Naeun followed right next to me, and people from Hyorim High School also followed me.
As expected, those people are annoying.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know I would get caught like that.”
“No. That police officer just had a good feeling, right?”
If I hadn’t felt uncomfortable and tried, I wouldn’t have been caught in the first place.
“But is he really Batman?”
“Seeing the zombie’s head explode from the left-hand blow earlier, I think it was right.”
“Ah. That’s one shot? With just your left hand? Wow!”
“Are you the same person? Now that I see you, my lover is also pretty. Is that why you risked your life and fought?”
Since I followed him at a shorter distance than before, I could hear everything he said.
When Naeun told me she was pretty, her face turned slightly red, but I just ignored it.
She confessed that her right hand hurts, so she shouldn’t be seen using her right hand, but her weapon is broken.
‘But I guess it’s okay whether the spear has a blade or not?’
I tried stabbing it with all my might earlier, but it didn’t seem to be necessary.
I guess I can try using this iron rod if it lasts long enough.
It would have been nice if I had gotten a barbell at the gym, but I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t.
‘Under. ‘Wait a minute.’
This weapon I brought with me was obtained by killing the scout team at Hyorim High School.
What the four scouts from Hyorim High School had been similar to this.
Of course, anyone can make a low-end weapon that involves wrapping a kitchen knife around a long stick with tape, but I thought I might have my doubts.
‘Was there some implication that if you didn’t cooperate, you would go to the supermarket?’
As I was heading to the department store, thinking that I had met someone who was annoying in many ways, the smartphone I had in my pocket vibrated.
“Huh? Yes. It’s a phone call.”
After handing Naeun the spear, she took out her smartphone with her left hand and answered the call.
“Yes. I received it.”
“Mr. Sian, can you come to the supermarket right now? The patrol team said they found something strange. I’m not feeling well, but I think we should at least check.”
There is something at the level where Choi Seong-tae calls me like this?
It is necessary to organize the department store in advance, but the supermarket is more important to me right now.
“Okay, let’s go right back.”
I turned off the phone with one hand and then spoke to Naeun.
“Let’s go back. I think something happened.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“So, are you going to the supermarket?”
“Yes. Let’s part ways here.”
“No, I will follow you. Can I check how the supermarket is currently running?”
“The mart has no intention of accepting anyone else right now. If the mart doesn’t ask for supplies, I’ll show you.”
“It’s not something I can do, but we have to follow the government’s policy when it comes to supply.”
For the first time since this zombie outbreak occurred, the government’s favorability rating almost fell.
