zombie
zombie.
Even people who are not interested in zombies are famous enough to know about their characteristics due to various games, novels, dramas, and movies that are poured out every year.
Even Yoosung was very interested in zombies.
“Let’s go!”
“But a person was injured… … .”
“What does that have to do with the bus? The ambulance will come and pick up the injured person, so hurry up! hurry!”
It’s harsh, but it’s true in principle.
After hesitating for a moment, the bus driver finally let the bus depart.
Some zombies started chasing, but once the bus accelerated, humans could not catch up with it.
Yooseong tilted his head at the sudden feeling of incongruity after confirming the scene where the last zombie, who had been persistently following, ran into people on the road.
‘Do you know what a zombie is?’
-zombie? Is this the first word you hear? what is the abbreviation?
“Haaa.”
While watching a scene where a person bites another person and the bitten person bites another person again, I felt something strange in the way they tried to calm or calm people down instead of running away.
The worldview of zombies is largely divided into two types: those in which the concept of zombies exists and those in which they do not.
Either way, being post-apocalyptic is the same, and the only difference is that other nouns such as monsters and corpses are used instead of zombies.
‘Damn it, the initial response was poor. Anyway, what is the route of infection?’
It is not so hopeless if a small number of test subjects are accidentally released and attack people, as is a common cliché in zombie movies.
It was because only in creative works it spreads like paint in water in an instant, but in reality, there is a limit to the number of bites and infections that one person can infect.
‘Even a big city with a high population density doesn’t change anything. No, if it’s a big city, it’s even harder to spread the contagion.’
In a big city, there are many people to be infected by zombies, but there are many places to avoid.
Even if you go inside the house, or at least in a nearby building and lock the door, a shelter made of steel and concrete is born.
It may not last as long as food is limited, but if an army armed with modern weapons is put in while buying time even for a few days, the situation can be surprisingly easily sorted out.
However, Yooseong overlooked one fact.
The fact that a quest that could be completed so easily would not have been graded B+ in the first place.
What a profit!
“Kuk!”
Bus suddenly stops suddenly.
A scene in which dozens of cars were tangled up blocking the road came into Yooseong’s eyes, looking forward with a distorted expression.
The sides and back are all filled with cars, so there is no space to get out of the bus.
“aaa!”
“Mister, I will get off here. Please open the door.”
I don’t know if that scream is that of someone injured in a car accident or someone bitten by a zombie, but one thing is certain: hesitation leads to death.
If you are surrounded by zombies in the middle of a road like this, there is no way out.
“Is this in the middle of the road?”
“Open the door quickly.”
The bus driver opened the door while trying to avoid looking at Yoosung’s eyes that seemed to be devouring him.
I could hear grunting behind me, but I wasn’t relaxed enough to pay attention to such trifles.
‘How long does it take to get home from here?’
-About 30 minutes on foot.
‘too far. Do you have any reason to go home? You’re not saying you’re going for money or stuff, right?’
-… … I need to save my father, but I don’t know exactly where he works. I have to go home and find clues about where my father is.
One of the additional conditions, the whereabouts of Choi Kang-shik’s father, is at stake.
Even the research institute where Choi Kang-sik’s father works is almost certain to be related to this situation.
In this case, you have no choice.
Yooseong, who looked around, chose a place where people seemed to be as rare as possible and started running lightly.
He could arrive much faster if he ran on full power, but he decided that it would be better to conserve as much energy as possible in case something happened along the way.
GREAT, GREAT!
It took me less than a minute to realize that I was wrong.
Even though there is a considerable distance, as soon as he recognizes the presence of this young man, he frantically runs to close the distance.
If you run at a moderate speed, you will only catch up.
It’s stamina, it’s nabal, and there’s no point in running if you don’t have a speed that exceeds zombies.
‘Let’s deal with this guy first.’
Red bloodshot eyes, blue raised veins, and a bloody mouth open.
The zombies I saw up close had the appearance that comes to mind when I hear ‘zombie’.
Yooseong, who jabbed his chin reflexively, kicked his tongue when he saw the zombie that continued to rush.
Ordinary creatures would have passed out from the shock of shaking their brains, but zombies are an exception.
If there is no response even after hitting the chin, the striker is virtually meaningless.
Yooseong, who gathered his fist, cleverly placed his hand on his neck, avoiding the zombie’s teeth.
Dark Moon 16th. twisting the tree.
Awesome!
The force and weight-laden twist shattered the zombie’s neck bones all too easily.
Even if it was a zombie, the damage to the cervical vertebrae could not be helped.
-You, are you killing someone?
‘It’s not a person. It’s a zombie.’
-So what is a zombie?!
Ignoring the screaming Choi Kang-sik, Yoo-seong looked down at his hands.
Unlike martial arts, the dark moon type 16 was a versatile technique that could be used regardless of the presence or absence of internal energy or magical power, but it was not very compatible against this type of enemy.
These zombies infect humans through their saliva.
The only technique that works against zombies is articulation, but if your teeth scratch your skin, or if blood or saliva splashes into your mouth or eyes, you’re a zombie immediately.
‘I need a weapon that can fight at a distance.’
The best thing is the gun.
However, apart from its power and range, it has a fatal flaw that attracts the attention of zombies because of its sound.
[Pay 10 karma points to draw the Aluminum Bat (E).]
There were various cold weapons and futuristic weapons like a plasma axe, but Yooseong chose a common baseball bat.
The goal now is not to kill zombies, but to get to Choi Kang-shik’s house while avoiding zombies.
It was a situation where stopping power was needed rather than killing power.
That’s it! Grrrr!
Kieeck!
Shouts echoed everywhere, and several zombies could be seen running towards them.
Yooseong, who hurriedly tore off his top and made a makeshift mask, looked around, climbed onto the car, stepped on the roof, and began to cross the busy road.
The roads are in a state of chaos due to overflowing vehicles, making it difficult to move properly.
Some zombies managed to step on the bonnet and climb onto the top of the car, but they could not overcome the process of jumping on top of other cars and fell to the ground.
Caang!
Yooseong, who presented the bat to the head of the rushing zombie, ran towards the direction Choi Kang-shik pointed out and looked around.
People running away with faces full of fear and confusion, and zombies chasing after them screaming.
As if to prove that the world does not have the concept of zombies, there were people who saw zombies as mere lunatics or seizures, and tried to block them with their bodies or help those who were bitten by zombies.
Of course, such people did not last long and turned into zombies and attacked others.
Seeing this, Yooseong felt a strong sense of incongruity.
‘The zombies are aggressive and the speed of infection is fast, but isn’t this speed strange?’
At first, it was thought that the contagion spread as a small number of test subjects escaped from the laboratory ran amok, but this speed could not be explained to such an extent.
The world changed in an instant, as if a switch had been pressed.
‘Are there other sources of infection? air? water?’
Either way, it’s not something we can figure out right now.
The good thing was that the speed at which zombies spread was so fast that people who still lacked information were screaming or running away in all directions, unintentionally attracting zombie aggro.
If the aggro hadn’t been dispersed, it would have been swept away by a tidal wave of zombies and turned into a piece of meat.
– There he is! That apartment on the 9th floor is my house!
The joy of arriving at the destination was short-lived, and Yuseong was speechless at the sight unfolding in front of him.
I don’t know what the hell happened, but there were probably 100 zombies gathered around the apartment.
After looking around for a while, Yooseong was able to realize what had happened.
The cause was the anti-theft warning sound from cars parked near the apartment.
The zombies heard the loud sound and collided with another parked car, making a louder sound, which caused more zombies to flock to the vicious cycle.
You never know when your car battery will run out and you can’t wait until then.
‘I need to turn my attention.’
It shouldn’t be in any case.
Only the anti-theft warning sounds of dozens of cars and the screams of zombies are buried.
While wondering what type of item would be good, Yooseong took out a grenade from the subspace and threw it towards the parking lot of the opposite apartment complex.
The explosion didn’t end in one shot.
One of the cars near the grenade’s blast center exploded with a time difference, scattering hot heat and a roar, attracting zombies’ aggro.
Wow!
As soon as there was a gap in the encirclement, Yooseong flew without hesitation.
After a while, this place will have no place to step due to the zombies who came after seeing the explosion.
If not now, there is no chance
Using the flashlight’s acceleration, the zombies passed the zombies and blocked their path, instead of hitting them, they used a bat to lightly push them to create space.
The process was so fast and subtle that it was only after the zombies had completely passed the siege that they noticed the meteor’s existence.
Kieeck!
Starting with a zombie screaming, nearby zombies started screaming and running towards the meteor.
However, Yooseong, who had already responded, instead of panicking, calmly entered the password Choi Kang-sik gave to the door lock located at the entrance.
bang!
I heard the sound of something falling behind me.
I could see what had happened without looking.
As Meteor passed through the siege, he created thorny vines and tied the ankles of some zombies.
Zombies are not Jiangshi.
Zombies who tried to run while their ankles were tied would have no choice but to lose their balance and fall, and other zombies who got caught in obstacles like dominoes collapsing in a chain would also have no choice but to fall.
The time earned was not long, but it was enough and left over to open the door lock.
Weeing!
bang! bang! bang!
Yuseong watched the zombies crowding through the closed door, then got up and went up the stairs.
I don’t know how strong the tempered glass is, but it probably won’t be able to withstand the rush and weight of dozens of zombies.
To be safe, you had to enter at least a space protected by a solid metal door, inside the house.
kang! kang!
As Yooseong climbed the stairs, he hit the wall with a bat at regular intervals.
‘It’s over when zombies come in such a small space.’
[Unidentified creature. Very hostile to humans.] It was a know-how gained while dealing with the Deep Ones.
Any technique is meaningless against those who attack while filling the space itself.
If there were that many zombies on these stairs, I had to choose one of the two options: either open the door of any nearby house, or go out the window and hang on the outside wall of the apartment.
kang! kang!
“ha… … .”
After confirming that no zombies appeared, Yooseong sighed in relief and relaxed.
Even if you have physical abilities several times that of normal people, escaping from a city crowded with zombies is never easy.
My stamina quickly fell because I was constantly in a state of tension, and my concentration naturally fell.
It was never careless.
Yoosung chose the best option within the limits he knew.
However, the best choices do not always produce the best results.
Squeak!
After knocking on the wall and confirming that there was nothing inside, Yuseong opened the door to the ninth floor halfway and then froze.
big?
There were zombies in the hallway on the ninth floor.
In a fleeting moment, Yooseong smiled dejectedly when he saw the earphones in the zombies’ ears and grasped the situation.
“… … I couldn’t have imagined a case like this.”
this is not a game
