Chapter 122 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (30)
***
“Captain Sangsu, what should I do? I told you nothing but lies…”
One of Jisoo’s group returning to Hyorim High School spoke to Jisoo, who could be said to be the leader.
“It’s true, except that we have plenty of supplies.”
Ji Sang-su spoke calmly.
Although there were no medical devices, there were doctors, and there were hardware store owners who had no materials but could make weapons.
In a situation that could be called a zombie outbreak or a zombie apocalypse, government-designated shelters were not normal right now.
Instead of feeling like someone has become a leader and leads the society equally, like the supermarket that just came out, it has become another class society.
The so-called Saja are dividing their forces so that they can follow them, and people who are desperate to impress those people are people who only eat food without any will.
There were too many cancerous lumps like that.
A search team that includes police? Except for himself and his two colleagues, the police also stayed at Hyorim High School to strengthen internal security.
All we can count on is the supplies that the government will send to official shelters.
Ji Sang-soo knew very well that if those supplies did not arrive, Hyorim High School would soon be in danger of ending.
“Ha. If there was a guy called Batman, he would crush the heads of all the old guys.”
“Because there are 20 days left until those people rise to the top of society again.”
“Fuck, more than half of humanity is dead, so does it make sense for everything to end up being the same? You know that even if those bastards make a lot of money and eat it, it doesn’t help at all because it’s like this.”
“You paid a lot of taxes.”
“If you look there, you will find 100% tax evaders. I guarantee you.”
Complaints keep coming out.
When he looked at the faces of those people, Ji Sang-soo felt angry deep inside his heart.
So I applied to the scout team and came out like this, but the place I still have to return to is Hyorim High School.
“Brother, how about throwing yourself into our mart? It looks like we’ve all gathered together around that young leader.”
“All the young women looked like they could fight with spears, and isn’t there someone who can fight monsters like evolved zombies?”
“Despite achieving such ridiculous achievements, they still respect the leader of the mart. Compared to the pigs in Hyorim, this place is much better.”
“Ahm. If I had that kind of power, wouldn’t I be so arrogant? No. I’ll go to the government and ask for the position of commander. Shouldn’t I become the commander of the special forces?”
While listening to the team members’ stories, Ji Sang-soo said something.
“You said you didn’t want to do that. To be honest, if I had that kind of power, I would want to live as I please, but I don’t think I can tolerate the government telling me to do this or that.”
“Great. Police officials say that.”
“It’s a disaster. What use are the police now?”
Ji Sang-su said while holding the police officer certificate in his pocket.
I passed the exam with great difficulty, and although it was difficult, I was doing my best and living my life, and then the world changed like this.
So he knows that he cannot easily let go of this civil servant certificate.
He has no intention of showing off like the pigs who are the ruling class of Hyorim High School, but he also has no intention of forgetting his duty.
“But brother, what would you say if I told you what we saw earlier?”
“They will report to the government and ask to bring in a reconnaissance team from outside and strengthen security. There will never be talk of resolving the problem.”
Ji Sang-soo thought that since the government was focusing all its efforts on securing power plants and water supplies, they could not expect much support from other regions.
What about Hyorim High School? I thought it would be fortunate if they didn’t suddenly push the scout team into a dangerous situation.
I expected that if they showed such a coercive attitude, the sharp-witted pigs knew that the spear blades aimed at zombies would be pointed at their necks, so they would choose to strengthen security.
“I think there’s something strange there, not a zombie…”
“We should trust him because he said he would take care of it. Besides, it seems like he lied to us too. You said you got hurt yesterday, right? How could someone who beats an evolved zombie with a baseball bat get hurt like that?”
“I heard another evolved zombie has appeared around here?”
“Wait a minute, that person caught the evolved zombies twice? Wasn’t this place more dangerous than I thought?”
“Wow. That gives me goosebumps… Did we save our lives twice without knowing it?”
It was time to leave the supermarket and end the chatter that our group had continued.
On the way back to Hyorim High School, if you deviate from the supermarket patrol route, it was still infested with zombies.
Ji Sang-soo and his party ran towards the zombies, holding their weapons tightly.

I took out the gas burner at the car wash office and boiled water for cup ramen.
Since I was planning on using chopsticks, I also took off the bandage on my right hand.
There is no need to disguise yourself when you are at home.
“Did you really plan on eating ramen?”
Naeun, who was watching the water boiling, looked at me and said.
“Is there any other ramen? If you think about it, there are a lot of different types at the supermarket.”
“They said I was doing medicine or something.”
“I’m thinking about that. Should I eat after I get there or before I go?”
“You know there are only four condoms, right?”
“I remember.”
Pour boiling water into the cup ramen and place wooden chopsticks on top.
And then the time of waiting comes again.
“What if what’s there is the strongest enemy we’ve ever fought? We don’t even have proper weapons.”
“I need a baseball bat and a spear from the supermarket.”
“Can’t we just say we’re bluffing and not go? If we say we’re going tonight, at least we have to bring a search team with us. There might be other zombies around.”
“That’s true, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on the search team.”
“Is it okay for you to shoulder that burden?”
I thought I could just ignore it, but Naeun’s eyes were serious.
Just like I set Naeun as my goal for survival, Naeun only has eyes for me.
Of course I wouldn’t want to go to a dangerous place on my own.
“Then should I not go? They won’t say anything at the supermarket either?”
Naeun said, nodding her head slowly.
“Everyone at the supermarket knows that I fought an evolved zombie yesterday too. Wouldn’t it be okay to take a day off?”
“Then let’s do it.”
“Huh? Really?”
I immediately took out my smartphone and called Seongtae Choi.
“Mr. Xian? What’s going on?”
“I will not go to that problematic location today. Now that I think about it, I think I need to prepare my body and equipment better.”
“Yes. It is a decision that Mr. Xian has to make anyway. Since the search team was not accompanying us, I will instruct you to detour around the search route nearby.”
“And please ask the weapon maker at the supermarket for some extra spears.”
“You keep making it, so Mr. Sian, you can take as much as you want.”
“Then I’ll take a few sacks.”
I ended the call like that.
I didn’t speak on speakerphone, but Naeun heard everything I said, so it’s probably okay.
It felt like the time had come, so I opened the lid of the cup ramen and stirred the noodles with wooden chopsticks.
It’s cooked just right. After slurping down a bite of noodles, Naeun continued to talk to me with a blank expression.
“Sian, why did you suddenly change your mind?”
“You told me not to go today, right? Am I the kind of person who wouldn’t even listen to that much of a favor?”
“I see…?”
“Okay. Let’s eat. The noodles are ready.”
Naeun also ate the ramen after stirring it a few times.
Healthy meals served at the supermarket are good, but the taste of the seasoning is also amazing.
I ate all the noodles and drank the soup, but I was a little hungry, so I took out a nutritional bar and ate it.
After eating like that, I felt quite full and wanted to lie down and sleep.
Still, you can’t sleep, the night should be used as a time for training.
I opened the door for ventilation and put the trash in a bag outside.
Naeun went straight into the bathroom to brush her teeth, and I waited for Naeun to come out, then brushed my teeth and came out.
In the meantime, I locked the door to the office where the smell of ramen had disappeared.
“Are you going to do it?”
Naeun, who was sitting on the sofa, asked me carefully, and I sat next to him in silence.
“Since I’m in no mood, I thought I’d try making a little something.”
I grabbed Naeun’s waist, made her sit between her legs, and hugged her from behind.
She exhaled slowly while holding Naeun in her soft, solid and warm arms.
“It’s a little heavy. But it’s still warm.”
“We need to do this before the weather gets any hotter.”
“There’s an air conditioner here. If we can keep using electricity, let’s look for the remote control later.”
When Naeun naturally shifted her gaze in the direction she was looking, she was able to find a wall-mounted air conditioner.
I knew it existed, but it’s not that hot right now.
“If you don’t have a remote control, you can use it by pressing the button.”
“That’s right.”
I wanted to talk about something that was far from the zombie apocalypse, but it was so close to my daily life for 10 days that I couldn’t get the words out.
So, I just used the Yeonyeom Shingong to create heat in my body and slowly injected that heat into Naeun.
Rather than saying that I was sexually arousing him, I slowly blew heat into his entire body like a regular massage, and Naeun seemed to notice what I was doing and what changes were occurring in him.
“It’s warm.”
“I have become a warm man to you.”
I was now able to create enough heat to melt Naeun in my arms.
After a few more nights, you will be able to create a Shadow Craft in an instant or use the Flame Ring Fist on your own.
‘Zombies don’t wait for me to grow.’
That was the problem.
We know how efficient it is to increase strength by absorbing heat, so we cannot ignore this anomaly.
So I won’t go today.
Because I plan to go tomorrow.
I hid my feelings and kissed Naeun’s neck.
“Huh…♡”
“Naeun, when is safety day?”
“Wait a minute… There’s just a little bit left.”
“It’s a shame.”
“Sian, even if it’s a safe day, you know there’s a chance you’ll get pregnant, right?”
“The last time I did it, I said it was okay to get pregnant.”
“I can’t do it now because I have condoms.”
“Really? Do you think you can stop me until that day with just 4 attempts?”
“I think it will be difficult. There are already only three left.”
Naeun slightly turned her body and placed her lips on mine, which had been kissing her shoulder.
