Chapter 1874 – 1874. Eternal Eden
I found a body while walking down the street.
It belonged to a middle-aged man. The reputation is red. I don’t know if it’s a knife or a spear, but something has pierced my heart.
It was difficult to tell if it was a zombie or a human just by looking at the corpse. I glanced at the corpse and passed by. Yang Soo-bin flinched at the sight of the body, but he remained calm.
“Aren’t you familiar with the body?”
“… I’m not used to it. Patients are used to it.”
Soon after, another body was found. The body was that of an aunt. Her skull was hollow.
“This is a human corpse.”
“… Why are you so sure?”
“Zombies don’t die just by digging his head in. He’s already brain dead, so you think he’s going to die because his brain is ruined?”
“… You say zombies are alive.”
“Because they are not undead from fantasy novels. These guys just got infected and turned into zombies. Even though the brain is dead, the heart beats and instinctively… No, they attack creatures and try to eat them. Even if you somehow survive from these guys, if you get bitten by a zombie, you’ll just become the same zombie. There are no exceptions.”
Players and Awakeners are no exception. If you get bitten by a zombie, you become a zombie. However, it was possible to prevent zombification with special vaccines.
“I was curious a few hours ago… How did you know this would happen?”
“I’m bored, so can I tell you? It will be known with time.”
I told you about players and Awoken. She couldn’t easily believe me. And she couldn’t even completely ignore it. I didn’t bother to convince her. Eventually you’ll understand that I’m right.
“If zombies are living creatures… Thank god.”
“What?”
“A living thing eventually dies if it is not eaten. If people just hide in buildings and wait… Zombies eventually starve to death.”
“Wrong. These guys will eat the same zombies if they’re extremely hungry. And these guys don’t end up eating them. If you catch and eat creatures to a certain extent, they will evolve. The troublesome thing is that you never know how it will evolve.”
“Evolution. I can’t do that easily…”
“A virus from outer space makes that possible. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to evolve too.”
Clink!
The sound of breaking glass was heard. Zombies wandering nearby hear the sound and run like crazy. I looked in the direction of the sound. It was a large mart that seemed to have at least one in the neighborhood. People were gathered. If not, there is no way the chimney will make a sound. There seemed to be a fight between people inside the mart.
“Help me!! Aaaaa!”
“Shut up! If you’re going to die, die alone! Fuck!! Zombies are coming!!”
The hypermarket was a mess. I stopped and watched the scene. Zombies sucked for me, but not for normal people. People attacked the zombies with their own weapons, but the zombies were ahead of them in terms of physicality. If you’re going to fight zombies, you have to use her head, but that was difficult because the situation was so chaotic.
People’s screams only increased.
“… Won’t you help me?”
“Why me?”
“… ,”
Na Chae-yeong asked to bring people over, but she didn’t feel the need to take the troublemakers at the mart to Seong-ak Elementary School.
‘If I take him, won’t he just cheer up? You’ll have to work hard to see how amazing the prepared shelter is.’
Aaaaagh!
A young woman in the supermarket screamed. Reflexively, she checked the woman’s appearance. She was a pig with a good voice.
“Haha. Jerk the.”
“… The only thing that’s confusing is now. Because there are many reserve soldiers in Korea. It will be sorted out in a little while.”
“Well.”
The mart eventually turned into a zombie party. Although blood splattered, the intestines were not scattered. Both internal organs and flesh went into the monster’s mouth.
I was going to take Yang Soo-bin past the mart. Until I saw a zombie with a protruding snout like a beast.
“I have to deal with it.”
“… Yes? Suddenly?”
“Look at that bastard with a snout over there.”
“… What is that?”
“Sport. That started to evolve. If I leave it alone, it will be a headache, so I have to get rid of it.”
It was called saccharide. I wonder if you didn’t know It’s in front of my nose, so I’ll have to clean it up and go. I pulled the knife from my waistband and walked towards the mart.
•••
I looked at the building in the distance. It was a building along the parking lot, but there are zombies hanging around.
“Call Park Hae-gil.”
“Yes.”
Park Hae-gil answered the phone before the first signal sounded. I took her smartphone as if it were stolen.
“Come. What floor did you say?”
-It’s on the 3rd floor. There are five zombies roaming the hallway. After experimenting with various things, I think I can get my attention for a while. The problem is the parking lot. Even if there are a lot of zombies, there are too many of them. To get out of here, you have to exit the parking lot… This is not possible as of now. It would have been possible if the zombies were weak like the zombies in the drama… But where are you?
“Entrance to the parking lot. Can’t you see it there?”
– Please wait a minute. It’s on the far left of the building, so the viewing angle is… Oh, I see. 2 people?! Could it be that only two people came?!
“Two people are enough.”
While coming here, I deliberately did not contact Park Hae-gil. Because it was clear that I would nag for nothing. I took a grenade out of my bag and handed it to Yang Soo-bin.
“I don’t think zombies will come this far… If it’s dangerous, use a grenade. See that wall? Up there Zombies are stupid, so it’s safe to stay out of reach.”
“Boo, please.”
-Alone, alone, what the hell are you trying to do?!
“Shut up and answer any questions I ask. Did you say two wounded?”
-… We are a total of 8 people. One has both broken legs and the other is unconscious after banging his head against a wall while fighting a zombie.
“It’s not so urgent that you need a doctor right away. I’m getting ready to go out. I’ll clean up the parking lot and go.”
– Did you really come alone? Alone anyway.
I hung up the phone and headed to the parking lot. Zombies heard my footsteps and ran. I also ran forward and swung my hairtail sword. The silver-shining blade gently cut through the zombie’s upper body.
Duduk.
Blood splashed all over the body. It didn’t matter. The danger is that the bodily fluids of the zombies do not enter her body.
‘There is recovery, but there is no guarantee that it will prevent zombie transformation. I have to be as careful as possible.’
Relying on my senses, I swing the knife as much as possible so that my body doesn’t splatter blood. It was a skill learned naturally while killing a lot of people.
Awesome!
The zombie’s head is blown off. I was saddened to see that. I was thinking of cutting off her upper body, but I inadvertently cut off her head out of habit. The zombie’s hand grips my shoulder tightly. Her fingers dug in and then stopped. The clothes I was wearing were special clothes that even bullets couldn’t penetrate.
“This is technology.”
Kicked the stomach of a headless zombie. The zombie flew backwards and collapsed. She pops out like the other zombies have been waiting for it.
Chow ah!
Red blood spurted in the direction she swung her sword. After clearing out all the zombies in the parking lot in 5 minutes, I went inside the building. I went up to the 3rd floor while slicing zombies from the 1st floor.
Black men were waiting for me on the third floor. At their center was a man with the aura of a leader. It is the persecution road. He was a man with short sporty hair. With his broad shoulders, he looked just like a soldier.
“Sung Yujin. I am Park Hae-gil, the president of PS Security. He was seen dealing with zombies in the parking lot. Have you ever practiced kendo? No, before that, where the hell did you get that sword from?”
“Why? Do you like it?”
“To be honest, I covet it. If I had that knife, I would have easily killed the zombies. However, I don’t have the confidence to wield a sword as well as Seong Yu-jin, so I will give up.”
“Are you ready? Let’s go.”
“There may still be survivors inside the building. Would you like to take a look around?”
“Are you sure there are survivors?”
“… I do not know.”
“As far as I can see, there are no survivors.”
It was the moment to turn around. Through the window I could see lumps falling from above.
Thud!
I hurried to the window and looked down at the parking lot.
It was a muscle monster over 2m tall. The Hulk-looking guy fell in the parking lot and was eating the zombies I killed. It is a variant The guy who randomly ate zombie corpses raised his head slightly and looked at Yang Soo-bin. The muscle monster grins. It recognized Yang Soo-bin as food.
‘Damn it.’
Ran towards the window. He smashes the window with his body and falls with his hairtail sword tightly gripped. Is it because of the sound of breaking windows? The monster raised its head and looked at me. The muscle monster grabs a large arm and positions itself to swing at me. Then, as the distance got closer, the monster threw out its fist.
Paper weave.
An electric current ran through the whole body.
Thunderstorm, Rain God.
My body moved sideways in the air as if something was pulling it. The huge fist of the muscle monster narrowly missed. I didn’t miss the chance. Cut him from head to toe.
“Geug geug geuk!!”
The monster screams and swings its arms at me. I hurried back.
‘You don’t have a heart? Is it on the right, not the left?’
It’s not strange that there are people whose heart is on the right side. It was time to fix the knife and try to charge with strength in the legs. The monster grabbed a nearby car and threw it at me.
Ran without stopping. I straightened my upper body and lowered the knife.
Kaka kaka kak!
The knife scratched the asphalt, creating sparks. A car flew overhead. The muscle monster reached out with both hands towards me.
I passed by the monster avoiding the big hand. Ignoring friction and inertia as a lightning god, he sharply bends the direction and occupies the back of the monster. The monster hurriedly tried to turn. Late. My knife landed on his shoulder before he could fully turn.
Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm.
The silver sword turned into a blue thunderbolt and cut diagonally through the upper body of the monster. The severed upper body slipped and fell to the floor. As expected, the heart was in his right chest.
