“Sigh… Sigh… … .”
Minju felt like her heart was going to explode. No matter how many times you kill them, there is no end to the zombies.
Additionally, I started losing feeling in my arms a little while ago. I was barely able to swing it with the power of the skill, but I had a feeling that it would be over in a little while.
‘I just need to go a little further!’
Minju gritted her teeth. The high point was right in front of me. There is only about 3m left.
But for Minjoo, the distance seemed to be 3km.
I lost my mind. So she didn’t see the zombie running in front of her.
By the time Min-joo found out, the zombie had already opened its mouth and approached.
That was the moment of crisis.
A transparent shield appeared before my eyes. It was a time when the distance between zombies and democracy was just a span.
“die!”
Minju swung a knife and cut off the zombie’s head. When I looked back, I saw Kangmin’s tired expression.
‘Choi Kang-min.’
Thanks to that, my life was saved again. The relationship started out as a misunderstanding at first, but now to Minjoo, Kangmin is a colleague he can trust more than anyone else.
‘Kangmin is protecting me! ‘It’s not over yet!’
Minjoo fought again. As Minju gained strength, other colleagues also gritted their teeth and fought.
Then there was a moment. Kangmin shouted loudly.
“They’re all tight to me! Closer than a close formation!”
Minjoo asked right away.
“Do something!”
“Try to keep the zombies at bay!”
Minjoo’s eyes lit up. When Kangmin said this, it was when he had a plan.
Min-joo got closer to Kang-min’s body and dealt with the zombies.
Then the shield that protected him changed. The shield lay on its side and slowly began to rotate.
‘what?’
The shield spun slowly at first and then snapped. Minju wondered if something was wrong. But that was only for a moment. The shield began to spin faster and more smoothly.
‘oh my god.’
Minjoo opened his eyes wide. The edge of the shield grazed the zombie’s neck and face.
There was a wound there. It wasn’t a deep wound, but it was clearly from attacking a zombie with a shield.
And the three shields began to spin faster.
Where there was a wound once, the shield made another wound and another wound.
It was a small wound at first, but the shield soon spun around so fast that it was invisible to the eye, widening the wound.
Then.
– Tuk.
The zombie’s head fell down at Minju’s feet.
At the same time, blood spread before my eyes. The wind blew due to the rotational force of the shield, and the zombies’ blood soared into the sky along with the wind.
“Oh my god, what is this?”
“This is the shield ability?”
“How do you turn the shield? “Is this possible?”
People looked at the phenomenon unfolding before their eyes with disbelief.
Minju looked back. Minjoo’s eyes widened.
“Kangmin!”
Kangmin was bleeding from his nose. It wasn’t just a nosebleed. Her blood flowed down.
It was clear to anyone that he was overdoing it.
It was then. The 1st team leader shouted.
“It’s time to clear the way!”
Thanks to Kang Min’s performance, there was no need to guard all sides. Now all I have to do is drill through the front. Kang Min secured a 2m space and only had to drill about 1m.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
“attack!”
With the words of the first team leader, 9 people passed down the shield and began attacking in one direction.
Soon everyone arrived at the container.
Group 1 shouts ‘Bang!’ in front of the red container. bang!’ I hit it with my fist.
“It’s the Gangbuk Union! “I brought food!”
Then, a steel ladder came down from the top of the container.
“Those with food go up first!”
At the words of the first team leader, the two people carrying food climbed the ladder first.
As they went up, others went up one after another. Now, the only people left below were Min-joo, Team 1 leader, and Kang-min.
“Go up by three sets!”
“I can’t leave Kangmin behind!”
When I looked at Kangmin, his face was already covered in blood. Now blood was flowing not only from his nose, but also from his eyes and ears.
The rotational power of the shield has weakened significantly. The zombies had not yet reached the inside, but it seemed like only a matter of time.
“Then the 3rd team leader covers me! “I will take Choi Kang-min with me!”
“The shield is still spinning!”
“We have to make it stop!”
The 1st team leader shouted, bent down, and went inside the shield again.
-Slap!
As soon as Team 1 entered, he slapped Kang Min in the face.
“Wake!”
At that moment, Kangmin vomited blood from his mouth. The shield also disappeared. The first team leader immediately ran with Kang Min on his back. Zombies have arrived.
“Third team leader! run!”
“Go first!”
The first team leader carrying Kang Min on his back ran up the ladder. Min-joo defeated the zombies in front of the ladder, giving him time to climb up.
But the zombies came in an instant. Before we knew it, Minjoo was surrounded by zombies.
I tried to help from above, but it was impossible due to the height.
It was then.
– Weeing.
Three shields appeared in front of the democracy.
‘Kangmin!’
When I looked up, I saw Kangmin clinging to the back of the first team member, gesturing helplessly.
‘You’re saving me again.’
When Minju climbed the ladder and climbed onto the container, Kangmin was already down.
I saw the inside of a normal and clean gas station.
‘It’s finally here.’
Min-joo went downstairs and approached Kang-min.
Kangmin’s face was completely covered in blood, but he was smiling heartily.
‘Looking at you smiling, I guess your condition isn’t bad. Anyway, where can I get some wet towels or wipes?’
Since it was a gas station, it seemed like there would at least be toilet paper.
As Minju went around asking people about tissues, one person appeared in front of her. Looking in front of her, I saw that she was a woman around Sammy’s age.
“I… Did you find this? “Knock, knock.”
The girl coughed and handed me a wet tissue.
“go… “Thank you.”
Min-joo said thank you and took the wet tissues.
But that was then.
“Why do you say it can’t be done!”
The first team leader shouted loudly.
* * *
Kangmin had no strength in his whole body. He had no strength and it hurt too much.
It was just like when I had a bad flu.
I wanted to pass out, but my body was so sore that I couldn’t. But one corner of her mouth went up.
‘thank god. Everyone alive.’
Everyone arrived at the gas station alive. That wasn’t all.
– Points held: 102.
I gained a lot of points in a short time. This point was enough to level up ‘world line movement’.
‘Did you say magic stone? ‘I survived thanks to that black stone.’
Because of the magic stone that Team 1 leader accidentally gave him, his ‘shield’ ability increased and he was able to survive.
‘I can’t believe magic stones come from muscle zombies.’
Kangmin started laughing heartily. He was looking for a way to become stronger.
‘When you level up, if you have magic stones, your skills will be strengthened, right? From now on, when I kill muscle zombies, I’ll definitely have to look for the magic stone.’
For other people, it was just a lucky stone, but not for Kangmin. It was because there was a point.
“Hehehe.”
Kangmin laughed for a while, then his expression hardened.
‘But how does it work?’
When I looked at the shield durability, there was about 200 remaining.
‘I can’t take all these people with this durability.’
Plus, the outside was full of zombies. In my current state, it was impossible to rotate the shield again.
‘Is there no way? no. There was always a way. ‘I have to find it!’
Kangmin was deep in thought. But there was a loud sound that woke Kangmin up.
“Why do you say it can’t be done!”
When Kang Min turned his head, the first team leader was shouting loudly at a middle-aged man he had never seen before.
* * *
A middle-aged man spoke loudly to the first team leader.
“I don’t need food! Asthma medicine! “Get me some asthma medicine!”
“Now what does that mean! “We always exchanged food and oil!”
The first team leader and the middle-aged man raised their voices and began to fight. Then, the first group of people gathered around the first group leader.
The woman next to Minju also opened her eyes wide and went behind the middle-aged man. Minju, who was left alone, approached Kangmin.
‘What’s not working?’
Kangmin’s forehead was wrinkled, but he wasn’t worried.
There were 8 people here, including myself. It didn’t seem like it would be difficult to subdue a middle-aged man and a woman.
But that was then.
Suddenly, something rose into the sky from all over the gas station and flew over the middle-aged man’s head.
‘what!’
They were all knives. Dozens of knives were hovering in the sky, protecting the gas station owner and the woman.
‘no way? ‘Telekinesis?’
Only then did Kang Min remember what he had asked Minju before coming here.
– But if the electricity goes out, won’t you be able to pump up the oil?
– that… Only because the gas station owner has special abilities. You’ll probably know it when you see it.
‘You’re bringing the oil by moving it with telekinesis!’
It was a big deal. At first glance, the gas station owner’s abilities seemed amazing.
‘I’ve come this far, I can’t ruin it like this!’
10 billion. It was 10 billion. I had 10 billion in the bank vault, so I couldn’t stop there.
As Kangmin pondered, a good idea occurred to him after hearing the words of the gas station owner.
‘Asthma medicine?’
Kangmin’s eyes lit up.
Even though it was hard to find here, it wasn’t outside.
‘Hopefully, I think we can solve the problem now.’
Kang Min spoke to Minjoo.
“Hold me.”
“why? It’s hard. “Keep lying down.”
Minju continued to wipe Kangmin’s face with a wet tissue and said.
“No, I have something to tell you.”
Hearing Kang-min’s words, Min-joo helped Kang-min up and lifted him up.
Kang Min wrapped his arms around Minjoo’s shoulders and approached the people in a half-hug.
“Stop fighting.”
At Kang Min’s words, the first team leader and the middle-aged man looked at Kang Min.
The middle-aged man looked at Kang Min with a shocked expression, and Team 1 leader blushed and shouted as if he was unfair.
“Oh, well. Do you know what this guy is? They won’t give you any oil! How did we get here! “Even though I told you that if you don’t go to the base right now, Hoyoung will die!”
“Me too. As you know, I live alone with Amin. But now our Amin has no medicine! What good is rice if there is no medicine? You guys go outside! Please get me some medicine. Then I will give you oil instead of rice!”
“Man, most of the pharmacies have been robbed. It’s already been 6 months since the world collapsed! “No more medicine!”
“Then I can’t help it! If Amin goes wrong, I won’t survive either. “I’m going to set this gas station on fire and burn all those damn zombies to death.”
The two confronted each other without giving an inch.
Kangmin said while looking at the man at the gas station.
“Then how about it like this? “I’ll get you some asthma medicine.”
At that moment, two people spoke at the same time.
“Is it real?”
“What are you talking about! “Where are you going to get medicine?”
Kangmin answered.
“I know someone who had asthma. I will go to that house and come back. “I don’t think people would have taken the medicine that was in the drawer at home.”
A middle-aged man said in response to Kangmin’s words.
“But how can you believe that!”
Kangmin grinned.
“You’ve seen my abilities, right?”
A middle-aged man clearly saw them using binoculars in an office building to cross using shields as stepping stones and killing zombies in front of containers.
The person the middle-aged man was most reluctant to meet right now was not Team 1. He was Kang Min before my eyes.
“that… “I see.”
“Give me some oil. Three people, including me, Minjoo, and Seungcheol, will take the oil back. And come by Saturday with the medicine. Instead, the uncle is taking them with him in the meantime.”
Kang Min pointed to the people behind the first group.
“what?”
Everyone shouted in surprise at Kangmin’s unexpected words.
“According to what you said, if I don’t come, won’t you turn this place into a sea of fire? Then they will all die. Then I have to come no matter what. how is it? “Isn’t this trustworthy?”
* * *
Getting back to base was easier than expected. This was because the most difficult section was walked in the sky using a shield.
Fortunately, the shield distance increased to 2m, allowing me to move more safely than before.
The problem was Kangmin’s physical strength. Kangmin was almost on the verge of collapse both physically and mentally.
Seungcheol was holding two oil cans in both hands, so Minju supported Kangmin and went to the base.
When I passed Opae Mountain and arrived near the base container, it was still full of zombies.
Although they looked hopeless, Minjoo, Kangmin, and Seungcheol did not give up.
“Everyone advance!”
At Representative Hocheol’s order, all combat personnel at the base came out. This was because I had contacted him by radio before coming here.
Thanks to this, the three were able to return to base safely.
Kang Min collapsed as soon as he returned to the base. It was a day later when he opened his eyes again.
The white ceiling and the hospital’s unique smell pierced my nose.
“Hey, are you out of your mind?”
I turned my head to the side and Hongyoung was there.
“Uncle Hongyoung?”
Hongyoung opened his eyes wide and smiled brightly.
“You seem to have come to your senses! It’s alive! “I lived!”
Hongyoung got very excited and jumped up.
“It’s not like this… “Just wait a moment.”
Hongyoung rushed out and brought the doctor. He wasn’t just the doctor. He also came with Ho Cheol, the representative of the Democratic and Gangbuk Alliance.
The doctor checked Kangmin’s condition and made him move his body various things.
“Teacher, what is Kang Min’s condition?”
“For more details, we need to get a CT scan or something like that, but that would be difficult, but symptoms seem to be okay.”
Everyone looked relieved at the doctor’s words.
Only then did Kangmin get a chance to speak.
“I think I collapsed. What happened after that?”
Hocheol gave the answer.
“Fortunately, we were able to operate the emergency generator and perform surgery. “The patient is also in good condition.”
Kangmin thought to himself that it was fortunate that everyone’s efforts were not in vain.
“By the way, what about other people?”
Kang Min asked about the people who remained at the gas station.
“Luckily, I’m fine. however… … .”
Hocheol couldn’t finish his sentence. Kangmin immediately understood what that meant.
“Do not worry. “I think I can get asthma medicine.”
“I heard about it. But can you really get it? “What if that person is still alive and I wrote it all down?”
“Do not worry. “I went there once because it was close to my house, and I found out that they had medicine.”
Then Hocheol’s eyes lit up and he held Kangmin’s hand tightly.
“I’m sorry for keeping asking for you. But I really need you to ask me a favor.”
“Do not worry. “I’m a little sore, but I’ll come back as soon as I feel better.”
Afterwards, when Ho-cheol and Min-ju left the hospital room, Kang-min immediately motioned to Ho-young.
“mister!”
Kangmin was anxious. He said he had lost consciousness and now he woke up.
‘I heard that the emergency generator doesn’t run for long?’
It would have been a big deal if the electricity had been cut off and the safe had closed again.
“Ahem! “Why are you calling me?”
The corner of Hongyoung’s mouth turned up, but Kangmin, who was anxious, did not see it.
“Is there electricity on now?”
“No, it was cut off.”
“ah!”
Kangmin bowed his head.
The reason for all this hardship had disappeared.
“Eight!”
Kangmin hit the bed with his fist.
But that was then. Youngmin Hong took out a bundle of yellow bills and showed them in front of Kangmin.
Kangmin’s eyes moved along the bundle of bills.
“this… “Where did you get this?”
“Where did you come from? “It came from a safe!”
Kangmin’s eyes widened.
“I heard the electricity went out!”
“That’s right, I opened the safe when the electricity came on!”
Kangmin jumped up and hugged Hongyoung tightly.
“You’re the best!”
“Kkeuk, what good is this useless money?”
“I told you my wish!”
Kangmin broke the hug and got up from the bed.
I was anxious. She couldn’t bear it.
“Uncle, can we go to the safe now?”
“now?”
“yes!”
“Well, it doesn’t matter, but are you feeling okay?”
Kangmin, anxious, answered while putting on his shoes.
“Sure.”
“Hehe, okay then.”
Kang Min followed Hong Young down to the first floor.
I saw a bank in front of me. My heart was pounding like crazy.
I went inside the bank and went to the very back.
There I saw a safe shining silver.
However, there was a long desk between the cracks in the safe door. Hongyoung put it there to prevent the door from closing.
“I see it every day. I’m not really interested. “You can go in and swim or set fire to your heart’s content.”
Hongyoung said those words and moved away.
Kang Min went to the safe and held the safe door. All the hard work I’ve done so far was for this moment.
Kangmin opened the door with force.
