Chapter 22 – Logout
-Kong.
Zombies and dogs chased them from behind.
The zombies blocking the way were slashed away with the greatsword and ran.
He quickly ran up the stairs and looked down.
‘Are you coming?’
I couldn’t rule out the possibility that he wouldn’t come thinking of the dead guy earlier.
-Kyung-Kyung!
The sound of dogs barking from below seemed to come up, perhaps because he wasn’t as smart as him.
I stopped on the 7th floor and took a seat near the elevator, out of sight from the stairs.
He took out the thick and huge spear Gungnir from his inventory and stood there.
[3 meters.]
I prepared according to Suni’s report.
– Kreureung. Sniff sniff.
-Trumbling.
I smelled it and heard a sound coming up slowly.
[2 meters.]
I focused my mind.
‘It ends in one blow.’
[1 meter.]
His left hand was lightly grasped, and his right hand held the spear with all his might so that it would not slip.
I could see the pit bull’s big head.
At that moment, using his left hand as a guide, he put his weight on it and pierced the spear with all his might with his right hand.
– Phat!
For a moment, it seemed that the pit bull noticed quickly, but my spear was faster than that.
In an instant, it pierced his right eye and shattered the bones of his skull.
– Perseok!
-Dump.
A pit bull collapsed with his head smashed.

-Kong.
One remaining Doberman jumped on top of his comrade’s corpse.
He quickly thrust the spear into his gaping mouth and stuck it down.
-Thud!
The Doberman, with a spear stuck in his mouth, fell as it was.
– Keck!
“Whoup!”
Then, with force, he thrust the spear into his mouth.
– Pudeudeuk.
The spear squeezed into the Doberman’s mouth and there was a sound of something breaking inside.
I didn’t stop at that light sound, but I pushed it deeper with force.
-Cake!
The Doberman asked if it was in pain.
– Clumsy.
The life in the Doberman’s eyes disappears and he becomes limp.
As the experience points came in, he knew he was dead and put the spear in his inventory.
〈 Lesser Erosion Body Treatment: 3 / 10 〉
“Whoa….”
I relaxed while reading the quest message.
‘Was he the leader?’
These two guys weren’t as smart as the one before.
– Knock!
Suddenly, a zombie approached quietly from behind, biting his arm.
“Aye. I’m salivating dirty.”
-Puck!
Kicked her over and smashed the zombie’s head with a spear.
It is a skin that bullets cannot pass through. There was even a suit, and I was bitten by a poor zombie, so there was no damage.
“What about magic stones?”
[Three of them are on the side of the heart.]
Even if it was annoying, I had to mine the magic stone.
It’s not an F-class magic stone, it’s a D-class magic stone.
It was valuable experience and money.
I was going to put the whole thing in my inventory, but it’s an ugly and dirty monster.
And it didn’t look like it would make much money.
[Inventory works in a different way than the perception of reality. Even if you put a corpse in, the items in your inventory will not affect each other.]
Sunni said as if she understood my reluctance.
I could see the faces of ugly dogs with their tongues out.
“…But I don’t want to put it in.”
Inside was my food.
It was a matter of my mood.
I don’t know if it’s a valuable item enough to give up that feeling, but based on my long hunter experience, it didn’t seem worth the money.

〈Are you sure you want to logout?〉
When I put my hand on the save point on the roof that was bright and active, a message popped up.
“Let’s go back at once.”
I put my body into the save point.
I saw the familiar living room scene.
‘What about the time difference?’
When I returned, I looked at the time and saw that not even a minute had passed.
[The time I recognized has passed about 1 second. I think it might be stationary or flowing very slowly.]
In Sunni’s words, it seemed like at most one second had passed.
Not bad.
For now, it seemed that there was no need to worry about the time in this world.
But 1 second a day?
Does that mean that a day passes in one second in this world over there?
60 days in one minute?
3,600 days in one hour?!
Wouldn’t that be too much of a time difference?
I didn’t know until I went back.
Can I go right back in?
When I put my hand on the aisle with a curious mind, a message pops up.
Do you want to connect to district 〈23?〉
“What about Pantera?”
Login allowed the world to go to two places.
〈 Save point required.〉
〈23 Do you want to delete the save point of the district and connect to Pantera? 〉
The save point seemed to be a kind of passage that connects the world.
‘If I go to Pantera, will the connection location change the next time I go to District 23?’
[Probably so.]
It seemed that Suni did not know the exact information.
This time, you may have been lucky enough to connect to a safe place.
Could it have fallen near an intermediate level or higher erosion body?
If so, it could have been dangerous.
The connection location may be maintained.
The current connection point in District 23 was a safe place.
However, there was no need to take the risk by switching out of useless curiosity.
Zombies were not a greater danger than I thought in the position of an Awakener.
‘For now, rather than going to Pantera, I’d rather focus on the safe district 23.’
If you catch a few more low-level corrosives, you can receive a reward.
However, in order to enter right now, I had to check the time flow of the other world as well.
I had to spend some time here to really see the time difference.
Even if the time of Earth 23 passed for several decades, it didn’t matter much to me.
There was nothing important over there, and my world was this way.
I don’t know if it’s because of the battle, but a little bit of sexual desire boiled over.
‘I want to see Yuna.’
I missed Yuna’s skin.
I also got a phone number.
It seemed that if you call Yuna to her personality, she would come.
But at this time, we had just parted ways.
I had to put up with it.
When I re-entered the other world, I planned to move right away.
Since the burden of this world time was gone, there was nothing to hold back.
First of all, I needed to manage my condition.
After fighting with the monsters in the middle of the night, I felt a little tired.
There was nothing to repair.
Considering it was consumable, I ate only one soy sauce.
‘I’ll have to take a deep breath for now.’
.
.
.
I took a deep breath and put my hand on the access passage in good condition.
Would you like to connect to Earth 〈23?〉
“Let’s go.”
When I put my body into the aisle, the environment changed in an instant.
I lifted the clock on the floor of the apartment roof.
I threw it on the floor before logging out.
Time barely passed.
The two worlds seemed to have little influence on each other’s time.
“Can this be?”
[I think it’s possible because they are in different dimensions.]
I don’t know what principle it is, but it was not a bad situation for me anyway.
It was because there was no burden on which side to spend time on.
Once we set our direction to the north, we started moving.
If it were Seoul, it would be in the north of Daejeon, so I thought, looking at the signs on the road, I might be able to get there.
After leaving the apartment complex and catching the zombies that pop up from time to time, I walked for about an hour and saw a huge shopping mall called Zima.
I approached it to find any survivors.
[One low-level corrosive body and one human life reaction have been detected.]
“A survivor?”
[If you are not very different from the humans in your world, it is highly likely.]
The scan was pointing inside a large shopping mall called Zima.
Upon checking, the distance between the monster and the survivor was not close.
It wasn’t a very dangerous situation.
It bothered me that there was only one survivor.
Did the survivor survive alone?
If there are surviving people, the shopping mall was one of the strong candidates.
There will be many useful items as well as food.
I’m not trying to get great information, so wouldn’t one person be enough?
If you think about it that way, the news wasn’t too bad.
I entered the shopping mall with a window.
Often, spears were stuck in the heads of the zombies that were rushing at them, and they exploded like watermelons.
The reason I had a spear instead of a greatsword was because the zombies were ugly and filthy, so I didn’t want to get close to them.
The survivor’s reaction seemed to be underground.
And the corroded body was at the top.
Of course, the erosion had to be cleaned up first.
It was impossible to find survivors for someone who might attack at any moment.
The corroded body was on the second floor nearby.
Among dozens of zombies, a large figure was visible.
It was a fat humanoid zombie with flesh that looked like it was 3 meters tall and swelled up.
She wasn’t much of a face to hunt.
-Kreur.
Loudly smashing zombies’ heads with spears, they found me coming up from the escalator and ran.
-Thud. Thud.
The nearby zombies fell and were crushed like bowling pins.
However, compared to yesterday’s monster dogs, it was quite dull.
I grabbed the window and took a stance.
“Whoup!”
Faced with the giant zombie that was running, I stabbed the spear toward the head with all my might.
Whether it was careless or really dull, the fat zombie didn’t even think about avoiding it.
-Puck!
And she got her head pierced neatly.
Seeing her dull appearance, she stabbed her hard once, but she succeeded neatly.
Her huge, dirty body tumbles forward.
“Ugh!”
She was horrified by the sight and quickly fell back.
-Thud.
She almost got run over by the dirt.
〈 Lesser Erosion Body Treatment: 4 / 10 〉
Made it easier than I thought.
What made me stronger…. It didn’t seem like it, and this guy was either careless or dull.
By the way, not only dogs, but zombies also had erosive bodies.
Did the survivor below not come out because of this large zombie?
However, if it was a monster dog, as long as the fat zombie ran away, it seemed that she couldn’t escape.
With the hazards dealt with, it was time to go looking for survivors.
