Chapter 328 – Zombie Apocalypse 4 (2)
First, there is no one in our mart group that can be harmed by regular zombies.
Of course, if I have to deal with evolved zombies that cannot be killed even with heavy equipment, I will have to step in, but that is the case for regular zombies.
Unless we are in a dungeon-like state like the front yard of Unit 524, we are unlikely to be harmed unless we lose our senses due to the spear skills and martial arts practiced in actual combat.
Is the problem interpersonal warfare? Even if you have a lot of combat experience, you have little murder experience.
Out of the 60 people in the mart, close to 50 can fight, but only have experience killing a little over 10.
That’s just because I killed one or two people.
I, too, have committed murders of less than five people, but I just got used to it through experience in other classes.
“So we need to block the entrance well.”
The best thing to do is not to fight, so I thought and went to block the entrance to the unit.
Unit 524 was surrounded by mountains and had two entrances: a proper entrance and a barbed wire entrance that had been drilled to expand the land for farming.
A barbed wire entrance can be a problem with people trespassing, but a formal entrance is a problem because you also have to think about people coming and crashing into it with a car.
The road is blocked with barricades and iron, but can this really stop a car from stepping on it?
As the people at the supermarket were using lawn mowers to cut down all the surrounding grass in preparation for people creeping in, I noticed a tree near the entrance.
“Sian, what are you planning to do?”
“Should we cut that down and block the entrance?”
If you build a huge tree and place it at the entrance of the base, wouldn’t it be difficult for vehicles to enter?
“Wouldn’t we be able to go out too?”
“Do you think I will have to stay in the unit for a while to get used to the gun or if I expect the surroundings to be chaotic?”
“I guess so… Guns are definitely a powerful force.”
The evolution of weapons will soon come, making martial arts and spearmanship trained to a certain level meaningless, and you must protect your troops for the guns that many people will aim for.
I pulled out the bone sword from its scabbard, walked outside the unit, cut down the trees near the entrance, and rolled it towards the entrance of the unit.
The trees rolled down the sloping path and I pruned them to remove the parts that were blocking the view.
After completely blocking the entrance with ease, I decided to look around the barbed wire as well.
*
It was lunchtime when I took a walk around the scout trail, feeling like I was on a picnic with Naeun, and cleaned up the surrounding area by cutting down trees to secure the view.
I was eating a lunch at a restaurant right next to the barracks that would fill my stomach with a few side dishes, but something caught me when I sensed a presence spread out widely.
‘I think everyone came to eat?’
It seems like all the people who went out of the unit and ran the lawn mowers are here, and the number of people seems to be correct.
“Naeun, I’ll go out for a moment.”
“Huh? I understand.”
As I went out of the restaurant and approached the place where I felt like it was popular, there were a few more people.
Feeling like I was checking the barbed wire rather than approaching through the entrance, I immediately put on my military uniform and walked quickly.
And when I got as close as possible, I heard a voice.
“Yeah. There’s no one there right now. I don’t think there’s always security.”
“It looks like we can break through the barbed wire with the tools we have.”
Rather than talking to himself, he seems to be talking to someone while wearing wireless earphones.
I shook the barbed wire silently while talking to one or more people.
I approached while unraveling my spirit in the shadows.
“What do you do?”
“Huh?! Um, aren’t you a soldier anyway?”
The man was quite surprised by my sudden appearance, so he let go of the barbed wire and walked away.
Even if I get closer, I can’t hear what’s being said through the earphones I’m wearing.
“I’m not a soldier. Is there some problem?”
“Well, a tree had just fallen, so I came to scout out whether there were any evolved zombies at the military base.”
“So you’re saying you’re watching the unit from afar?”
The man, perhaps thinking that saying anything more would be a weakness, kept his mouth shut and slowly began to back away.
“The original owners, the soldiers, are all gone and dead, and we decided to take over the hellish entrance where there are hordes of zombies, but are you going to break through the barbed wire and eat me?”
The man turned back and started running.
“Fuck! Where did it come from? Why didn’t I see it!”
I guess you were also looking at the part where this man was scouting just now.
If you look at the fact that the drone is not flying, the camera performance has improved a lot these days.
This time, when we raided the front yard of Unit 524, we brought as many smartphones as possible, so I heard that they were planning to use them to establish a long-distance perimeter.
And where is the building around here that can monitor our troops? Without even having to focus my eyes to look around, the large building on the other side of the mountain was an apartment complex.
Since you were watching from afar, did you not even notice that I was chopping down the tree?
I frowned and looked at the apartment complex in the distance.
I returned to the restaurant and told everyone.
“There was someone who came for reconnaissance. Since they were talking on the phone, it seemed like they were watching the unit from afar.”
“Did you send that person back alive?”
A spearfisher asked me.
“Yes. I did that for now. There is no need to tell you that I have different powers than others.”
“I think it would be a good idea to show Mr. Xian’s power and prevent him from dreaming at all…”
Another spearman said, and several people agreed with him.
“Then, even if you give up the gun, you can come here thinking it will protect you from the evolved zombies.”
“Ah…”
If they came for the purpose of plunder, it may be okay, but if they came for the purpose of protection, should we say that it would be a bit difficult to get rid of them? I remembered how I had summoned a man to kill the woman in room 106 who had come to the supermarket.
I killed her because I was afraid she would cause trouble at her supermarket.
“Well, that’s right. It’s already been targeted. Seeing as it’s not the main gate, and it came from a mountain path, it looks like it knows the way.”
“Whoa… That’s difficult.”
“More people will come visit us in the remaining time, right?”
“There may be people whose purpose is to infiltrate rather than reconnoiter. It could get worse at night, so I think we need to be on high alert starting today.”
I looked at Seongtae Choi, who was eating next to us, and said.
Seongtae Choi, whose face was still bandaged, nodded slightly and stood up.
“The guard schedule is going to be a little tighter tonight. It won’t be long before we get our guns and ammo, so let’s do our best until the end!”
“Wow!!!”
“Ugh. I don’t want to stand on duty.”
Some people clapped their hands and some didn’t want to go to work right away.
Well, people like that can pretend to get away with it for a moment, because only people who can take care of themselves when ordered are gathered in the supermarket.
People who had finished eating now got up from their seats, returned their utensils, and started moving around to finish the work they had received in the morning.
Feeling that there was not enough time for perfect defense, the people started eating quickly, and I sat down next to Naeun.
“Sian, what are you going to do?”
“Hmm. I guess I’ll have to wait until they take the bait.”
“Did you tell me something?”
“At least we captured the unit? Anyway, it’s okay.”
(Ew… The mountains are difficult! Master, you will climb five times later!)
(You’re an elephant, but you sound like a succubus.)
(Can you turn into an elephant if you stimulate it like that? Huh?)
I heard from over the fence that my familiar, whom I summoned by shooting the Shadow String, was doing a good job.
If Shahemos can confirm what kind of atmosphere it is, I can get a feel for how to move.
Since most of my mana was occupied by summoning Shahemos, I couldn’t use my mana properly, so I spent the afternoon just patrolling.
Even if you don’t have mana, you can use the presence detection of the survival rule, so I spread out as much as possible and walked around, but I slightly sensed another presence beyond the mountain.
I don’t know how many groups are targeting Unit 524.
If you think about it, if there was a group of that size, the evolved zombies would have been destroying them, but I killed all the evolved zombies that appeared near the supermarket and Hyorim High School, so is that why there are so many left?
In the evening, Shahemos contacted me.
(Master.)
(Have you arrived?)
(There are a lot of cars and a lot of people. It looks like they are planning to move and climb the mountain at once. They also packed a lot of weapons.)
(Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will summon you.)
(Yes. I walked too much, and I’m tired.)
As if Shahemoth had become a shadow and disappeared, the mana share has returned to its original state.
She was sitting on the bed, thinking about whether to come after looking at her hand, when Naeun, who had finished showering, came into the room.
Her short hair was wrapped in a towel, and she sat down in front of me and tilted her head back slightly.
I was drying Naeun’s hair by spreading out some of the mana that had returned, and Naeun said.
“I think people’s lives are much better than at the supermarket.”
“In what sense?”
“It’s nice to have a shower facility, and I definitely feel like I have more free time. I feel like I’m enjoying my free time rather than spending time at the supermarket.”
“I think I know what it is. I saw a lot of people walking around outside, each looking for something to do.”
Women categorized it as time to train women’s skills, but men in particular were not able to learn male skills, so all they could do was rest.
“You know… Yeah… Um… Do you want to do it today? I don’t think I should do it today either, but I think I’ll miss the timing if it’s not today.”
While scouting the front yard of Unit 524, women recovered quite a few condoms, and it is said that they gave many of them to Naeun.
Since it’s piled up to the size of a large box, I’m now free from the constraints of condoms, but I haven’t done it recently.
“Okay. Let’s do it today.”
In a world where bullets rain down, it can become really difficult to find time.
