Chapter 2133 – 2133. Eternal Eden
“To bring the dead back to life… What kind of weird word is that?”
Son Taehyung couldn’t stand it and opened his mouth. The earnest question drew the eyes of the cleaners to him. Son Tae-hyeong, who always worked silently with dead eyes, was surprised to open his mouth first.
“Son-san knows how to speak. Well, it’s just a rumor. Does it make sense for the dead to come back to life?”
Most of the cleaners nodded. Suddenly, the D virus spreads around the world, causing a zombie apocalypse, and people who have awakened supernatural powers appeared, but it was common knowledge that the dead could not come back to life.
Zombie? Who can say that he was resurrected after seeing that? In the first place, zombies were living creatures, not corpses. At least my heart is beating.
“I saw it last time, isn’t it when you save people who are locked up in their homes? At that time, the woman was attacked by a zombie and her neck was ripped off, but I saw with my own eyes that she was completely healed when CEO Seong treated her.”
“It didn’t bring the dead back to life, it healed them, didn’t they?”
“Your throat was cut in half? The wound dies instantly. A human who died instantly rose again and moved normally, so he was revived! Besides, she wasn’t even infected!”
“No way. You’re talking nonsense. It wasn’t a fatal wound in the first place. What about infection… Guess you were lucky.”
“What is luck? There is no vaccine, so if the Awoken are infected, it’s the end. Representative Sung must be able to bring the dead back to life!”
“Okay, be quiet! If we ever get into the manager’s ears that we’re having these conversations… You will be imprisoned Don’t you know what a fucking place the prison camp is!”
“Sugam-dong… Okay. You have to be careful what you say in order not to get dragged into it. Prisoners in the prison building eat animal feed, not rice.”
“Even though our work sucks, isn’t it much better than the convicts in the prison ward? At least they don’t fill their stomachs with food.”
The topic of conversation among the cleaners moved to the prison ward. As he chewed on the prisoners locked up in the prison cell, he comforted them by saying that they were better off.
Taehyung Son did not hear their conversation. His mind was complicated. Nothing was certain. Although it is only a rumor that he brings the dead back to life.
But what if the rumors are true? It is a world where zombies appeared and supernatural powers appeared. Doesn’t it deserve the psychic ability to bring the dead back to life?
‘… Even if CEO Sung had such ability, he would not be able to use it for me.’
Seong Yu-jin is the one who created the current Seongak Elementary School order. Seong Yu-jin, a dictator who threw democracy into the mud. The Constitution of the Republic of Korea was meaningless here. Sung Yu-jin’s will was the law.
‘CEO Seong is a person with a certain reward and punishment. If he proves his ability and makes his mark… Maybe he could benefit from the representation of Sung.’
The image of his beloved wife and lovely daughter flickered in front of Son Tae-hyung’s eyes.
Reviving the dead is an overstatement. Going against the truth. Even our heavenly Father won’t allow it.
But even if he fell into hell, he wanted to see his family.
‘… In the first place. If God exists, he shouldn’t have made the world this way. Does a place called hell even exist?’
The former pastor gave up his last remaining religious beliefs.
The way he, the cleaner, makes his mark. Concentrate on cleaning work? No sound. He could not escape his identity even if he tried to clean it for a hundred days.
There were two ways Taehyung Son came up with.
Push one It is to find and push impure molecules. Of course, as the push itself was not good, the social reputation could fall.
It is to apply for another periodic zombie subjugation. It was dangerous enough to risk one’s life to fight zombies, but it was just right to set up the ball. If you’re lucky, you can join the security team in one subjugation.
Taehyung Son decided to do both.
He was snitching on the same cleaner. When you clean up trash, sometimes you come across something that looks fine. Originally, these items were supposed to be given to the manager. However, the cleaners took care of the manager and took care of the trash. Taehyung Son reported the cleaner to the manager. He was given money as a reward.
“Hey, you dirty bastard! You bastard was still a pastor!! Selling a colleague for a pittance?! The guy who sold this colleague! Do you think you can live well with that?!”
A cleaner poured out his hatred as he was taken to the prison ward. Originally, it is correct to hide the informer, but since it was a closed place, rumors spread about who the informant was. Son Taehyung didn’t care.
From that day on, Taehyung Son became a construction worker instead of a cleaner. He mainly does digging and building houses. The treatment is much better than the cleaners. However, because he became a worker through informant, his colleagues did not get close to him. Son Taehyung didn’t care about this either.
A long-awaited notice was posted on the common bulletin board. It was a recruitment announcement for the punitive force for safety and expansion. Taehyung Son volunteered for the punitive force without hesitation.

Recently, information about my abilities was circulating within Sungak Elementary School. Lightning is a fact that everyone knows, and the ability to recover is known.
‘Did I use my recovery ability too openly the other day?’
Rumors were circulating that it could bring the dead back to life. Of course, no one believes easily. Common sense makes no sense to bring the dead back to life.
‘I don’t know anything else, but I have to hide that much. I guess I’ll have to use my abilities more carefully from now on.’
I think it would be okay to let people know about their recovery abilities at this time. It is only to inform the level that the wound can be recovered, no more.
‘But I can’t use my recovery ability on just anyone. I should give benefits only to those who want to be my slaves.’
Discrimination was essential.
That way the class society I want will become more solid.
I spread out the map on the desk. A map drawn around Seongak Elementary School.
‘Suddenly, Seongak Elementary School is saturated.’
First of all, with the idea of growing in size, he accepted people nearby at will. Of course, it goes through the first screening process.
‘Stocked food is fine. The problem is that there is not enough space for people to stay.’
I couldn’t make a container box in the playground, so I had to build a house with boards. But that too is now at its limit. There were too many people flocking.
‘We need to expand Vocal Elementary School.’
I had no intention of breaking down the existing wall. I am planning to build a new wall around Sungak Elementary School to create an external village.
‘Slaves should be made to live with each other.’
I want to eat and rule all of Seoul, but… Unfortunately, I don’t have the capacity to do that right now. Government is alive. At least it was at the level of maintaining the national system.
‘Because we may fight the Korean government later… For now, I have to focus on nurturing troops and making weapons.’

On the day of the subjugation.
I looked back at the entrance of the school gate. About 120 people stood in an orderly manner. Half of them were from the security team, and the other half were those who applied for this subjugation. Surprisingly, women also supported quite a bit.
Among them, only the security team was holding a gun. The rest were armed with cold weapons such as spears, bats, and knives. Well, the same goes for me with a knife.
“The population of Seongak Elementary School is increasing day by day.”
If you look on the Internet, you can see that Seongak Elementary School is safe and has plenty of supplies. After seeing that, there were people who went to Seongak Elementary School as a family unit. More than 70% die on the way.
“However, the space at Sungak Elementary School is limited. The time has come to expand the land. However, it cannot be expanded arbitrarily. Because of the lack of materials such as building materials. We will source supplies from furniture stores, marts, and hardware stores two kilometers away.”
These are abandoned things anyway. Even if you take it on a large scale, no one will say anything. Even if there is an owner, kill the owner and steal it.
“We will give a proper reward to those who make merit, and we will punish those who disrupt order. Let’s go.”
He led his troops and started to move. Seeing over 100 of them cringe at my words made me feel pretty good. A drone flew slowly in the sky and followed behind.
The drone’s role was reconnaissance. It was a way for Na Chae-young to notify me when she found something through the camera attached to the drone.
-Five zombies ahead.
Na Chae-young’s calm voice was heard through the earphones. Reminds me of old memories. The first time Na Chae-young’s voice was in a tense state.
‘Five zombies is no big deal.’
She gestured to a nearby security team. With some experience, the security team quickly took down the five zombies with silenced pistols.
Volunteers from ordinary people put dead zombies on carts. Zombies and creatures can also be put in the disintegrator to obtain resources.
As we moved forward, zombies continued to pop out. The soldiers took care of the zombies without me having to step out myself.
The case where I personally step out is when there are too many zombies or when mutants pop out.
Variants are dangerous. Awakeners are also difficult to deal with. The really powerful variants are difficult to deal with even in the current country.
‘Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a variant as powerful as that in Seoul.’
Arrived at a large supermarket. First, a drone was sent to scout the interior.
– It’s stolen. There are still toys that don’t help much in survival… It wouldn’t be worth much even as a resource.
“Are there any materials like iron, wood, or paint?”
-Doesn’t exist. It looks like the group of survivors have been robbed.
A bunch of survivors.
The world started to come together as this world was born. It was natural for families to get together, and it was common for apartment complexes to get together.
“Are there zombies inside?”
-There are zombie corpses. It’s corrupting Looking at his wounds, it looks like he died from being hit with something like a golf club. … That’s pretty bad. It must be difficult with ordinary human power.
“It must be an Awakener.”
As time passed, the Awakeners were coming out. There were also some Awakeners at Sungak Elementary School. It was a 1-star (★) Awakener that wasn’t very helpful.
‘At least there will be no technologists or bionics. Because they can use disintegrators. They must have taken it without leaving a corpse behind.’
Taking my eyes off the mart, I spoke to the soldiers.
“There is no time to rest here. Keep moving.”
