Special Mission
Yooseong, who landed safely on the next signboard, alternately looked at the route he had originally planned to take and the source of the gunfire.
Do you keep going like this, or do you change direction?
‘Zombies capable of ranged attacks are too dangerous.’
I don’t know if it’s about jumping tens of meters like when I was on Earth.
At most, it was impossible to cope with the mutant attack by barely jumping between the building and the street.
Having made a decision, Yuseong immediately changed direction and flew toward the source of the gunfire.
That choice was right.
Inside the building, in the alleyway, between the wrecked cars, the mutants started throwing things.
The moment I was contemplating whether to fire back, I heard gunshots again.
Besides, this time it wasn’t just one person shooting.
Tadadadang!
Blood spurted from the bodies of the mutants along with gunshots that resonated without rest.
I could see how the mutants knew how to deal with the gun and why they were hiding from the sight of the mutants skillfully covering vital points and hiding again in the blind spot.
The meteor, not paying attention to the zombies around it, was advancing in a straight line towards a large shopping mall where muzzle flames were flashing.
This is because there was an 8-lane road between the shopping mall and the building density area.
As I was hesitating, a nervous voice was heard.
“Run as it is!”
Bang!
After confirming that the tidal wave of zombies had been punctured with a huge explosion, Meteor jumped toward the street without hesitation.
Swing an ax with one hand and pull the trigger of a pistol with the other to advance.
It is said that the formation collapsed due to the explosion, but the attack of zombies coming from all sides was very threatening.
Yooseong, who managed to overcome the crisis several times while crossing the street of less than 20m, threw away the ax and pistol he was holding and grabbed the fire hose hanging from the outer wall of the building.
“Pull!”
aaa!
The zombies screamed in anger, but all they could get was no prey, but countless copper bullets.
Yoosung barely entered the building holding his hand outstretched towards him, and as soon as he saw the soldiers surrounding him in a semicircle and the guns in their hands, he raised both hands without hesitation.
“what? Aren’t you a student?”
“All Asians have baby faces, so they must look young.”
“No, anyway, this is… … .”
“Everyone be quiet. Hey, where did you get bitten?”
“I didn’t get bitten.”
“Everyone says that. Could you please take off your clothes?”
“If you get bitten by them, doesn’t it change after a while? You don’t have to take it off, just wait a little bit… … .”
Clap!
As soon as the sound of the bolt moving forward resounded, Yoosung took off his clothes.
There would be nothing more humorous than losing one’s life in a scuffle because of momentary shame after coming all the way here.
After confirming that there were no bite marks, a blond man with a sharp impression approached in front of Yooseong, who picked up a suit and put on a suit.
“nice to see you. My name is Alex Wood. May I know where you belong?”
“It is called Choi Kang-shik. Before that, what about your affiliation?”
“Of course he belongs to the USFK. Now can you tell us about your affiliation?”
Impersonating a special forces unit made it seem like they would soon be found out because they didn’t know anything about the military in this world, and when they tried to use appropriate excuses, the description of the weapons became scarce.
The one who saved the hesitant Yuseong was a young soldier who looked young behind him.
“Hey, are you here to rescue us? How far has the main unit come?”
“Have you seen it?”
“I heard gunshots and explosions. Aren’t the troops here to rescue the survivors?”
“ah… … .”
It was only then that Yoosung could understand why they had saved him and why they were looking at him with such desperate eyes.
Hearing the sounds made by the puppets armed with guns and grenades, they mistook it for the arrival of troops.
‘I don’t think it’ll end with just being disappointed if there’s no such thing as a rescue team.’
The eyes of the soldiers, who were certain to have lived among the zombies for at least a few days, were flickering with hope that was close to madness.
Yuseong, who was contemplating what to say, decided to buy some time at the sight of the soldiers staring at him.
“I want to meet the Chief Executive Officer.”
“Currently, I am the chief executive officer.”
“Good. Can we talk for a moment? We need information such as how many people are currently here, what has happened in the meantime, and the situation around here.”
Although he didn’t reveal anything about his affiliation or purpose, Alex nodded slightly at a question that could be interpreted in many ways.
“Everyone move to the area in charge and be alert. Be careful not to get noticed by pitchers.”
“pitcher?”
“I’m talking about guys with overdeveloped arms. I don’t have a specific name to call it, so I just call it pitcher.”
The soldiers moved in perfect order as soon as Alex’s order was given.
Everyone had drawn faces, but I felt strength and vitality in their actions, perhaps because they thought that the rescue team had arrived.
“Can I call you Sergeant Alex?”
“It doesn’t matter if you call me by my first name. I call him Mr. Choi. So Mr. Choi. What do you want to know?”
“First of all, I want to hear everything about what has happened since they appeared. The place I was in was remote and communication was cut off, so I know very little about the current situation.”
“Well, do you know what those are?”
“Yes. It’s a zombie.”
After saying it, he remembered that there was no such thing as a zombie in this world, but fortunately, Alex didn’t find it strange to hear the word for the first time.
“zombie? I don’t know what it means, but it’s not bad that it’s shorter and has a better tone than the Madman we call it. Zombie… … .”
“Hmmmm.”
“Oh, sorry. Where should I begin to explain? Those guys, or zombies, appeared simultaneously all over the country and around the world. At first, they thought it was an anti-government protest or riot, and police or unarmed soldiers were put in as control personnel, but the damage grew exponentially.”
“Wait, did you say the whole world now?”
Alex nodded with a heavy expression.
The situation in other countries that I checked before the internet was cut off was no better than Korea.
I couldn’t show weakness in front of my subordinates, so I didn’t show it, but in fact, I couldn’t help but worry about my family on the mainland.
Meanwhile, Yooseong frowned and was deep in thought.
‘It happened all over the world at the same time. Did a virus with a long incubation period emerge in a timely manner? No, there’s no way it’s a coincidence like that. So what about bioterrorism? In a sense, it makes no more sense than the former to attack and succeed in all countries and all over the country at the same time without being noticed by anyone. But if it’s a virus that’s transmitted through the air, what’s the thing that usually stays fine but turns into a zombie when bitten?’
I could see why the zombies spread so quickly.
It didn’t spread from a small number of carriers, but an unspecified number of people around the world turned into zombies at the same time, so it was more strange that it didn’t spread quickly.
Furthermore, since this world had no concept of zombies, the speed must have been even faster.
“I barely realized that this situation was caused by a kind of contagious disease that maximizes madness, cannibalism, and aggressive instincts, so I started to deal with it. Our unit came to rescue civilians stranded in the city and ended up stranded here.”
“Did the army not be able to defeat the zombies?”
“I was able to deal with it in the beginning. The roads were full of zombies and abandoned cars, so we couldn’t bring tanks or armored vehicles, but with generous machine guns and rockets, plus air support, we managed to stop it somehow. I let people escape for about two days, but there was a problem.”
Alex, who came up to the roof, pointed somewhere.
Following his fingers, he saw a badly damaged building and the remains of a nearby helicopter.
“It’s pitcher. He threw a motorcycle at the world and shot down a helicopter. I hurriedly subdued them and called for additional support, but features continued to appear as if they were splitting up somewhere. Thanks to that, four more helicopters crashed and no more help came.”
“When is that?”
“Four days ago. They said they would send a rescue team somehow, but they lost contact the very next day.”
“… … .”
“… … You saw that. It would be convenient to see it through this.”
Yoosung was speechless at the sight through the binoculars.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe even more than a million zombies were filling the city.
At this level, it was more appropriate to say that it was a tidal wave of flesh rather than a zombie.
“… … What is that?”
“Haaa, these are the people who came out of the building after being told that they could escape outside the city, and the people we and the Korean army brought in from the surrounding area. When the escape plan goes awry and Pitcher and other weirdos arrive, most of them have turned into zombies without being able to escape. A huge explosion and fire caused by one of the helicopters crashing into a gas station and the zombies flocking in are a bonus.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”
Contrary to the prediction that it would be possible to pass without difficulty even with some difficulty, the second area was a demonic landscape that could never be passed no matter what.
Even if you bring a tank, the flesh and bones of the zombies will get stuck in the endless track, and it will stop before long.
Yuseong, who was staring blankly at him, opened his mouth after realizing that he had missed something in Alex’s words earlier.
“The other weirdos?”
“Yes. First of all, we figured out there are Heavy, Climber, Raider, and Shadow.”
“It’s a name that allows you to guess its appearance and abilities without having to listen to the explanation.”
Since the zombie throwing things was given an intuitive name, pitcher, which means pitcher, the other zombies almost got it right.
‘Heavy is huge, and climbers can climb walls.’
Looking around the city center, I was able to find a guy who was assumed to be a mutant.
Variants with lizard-like flat bodies and abnormally wide hands and feet were clinging to a building.
On the upper floors of the building, soldiers and civilians congregated to drop the anomalies by throwing objects or pushing them with long sticks.

Judging by the fact that he swung the gun like a stick, he probably had no bullets.
‘… … I can never go there.’
It was the same even if he took out the Celestial Hand or the Elemental Bow.
Even if you safely attack from a place where zombies can’t reach at all, it will take years to defeat that number of zombies and build a path.
You have to find another route.
The problem was that I couldn’t go anywhere else anymore.
Due to the recent runaway, a significant number of zombies have gathered around this shopping mall.
It was absolutely impossible to move to another area avoiding such a number of zombies.
-No, there is a way out.
‘What?’
-This shopping mall is connected to the subway. If you go through the subway, you will be able to go directly to your destination without having to go there.
subway.
It was a route that was not even nominated because of the dark environment and how many zombies there might be, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Anyway, no matter how dangerous the subway is, it will be much safer than going over there.
The problem was that even if it was safe, it was only a relative expression after all.
If the probability of passing through the city is 0%, the probability of passing through the underground is only about 1%.
Of course, the difference between 0% and 1% is incomparably larger, but it was too small to risk one’s life.
‘Damn it, I can’t do it alone. Even if there is a sub-space, there is a limit to the firepower that one person can produce… … .’
“Mr. Choi?”
“Oh, yes?”
“At this point, you seem to have roughly answered your questions, but can I ask a question now? How many rescue teams are there and how far have they come? How is the rescue operation going?”
“that is… … .”
The moment he was about to tell him that there is no rescue team, an idea popped into Yoosung’s head.
‘What’s your father’s name?’
– I ask very quickly. Sunghoon Choi. but why do you ask that?
Ignoring Choi Kang-sik’s bruise, Yoo-seong looked straight at Alex and opened his mouth.
“There are no rescue teams. In the first place, I wasn’t even a rescue team.”
“… … Yes?”
“I am a member of the Special Forces who is currently on a special mission to save Dr. Seong-Hoon Choi, the only person who can create a vaccine for this epidemic.”
Alex’s eyes widened.
