Kangmin blinked. I blinked once, twice, three times, but the message remained the same.
‘what? Is this true? synthesis? Are you really combining skills like a game?’
If skills were combined like in a game, this would be amazing.
Kangmin wanted to composite it right away, but suddenly the sounds of zombies came from all directions.
– Ugh!
Zombies were flocking to the sound of a grenade exploding.
‘Let’s do skill synthesis later.’
Kang Min untied the grenade holder from Yongbae’s waist, grabbed it, and moved.
It was when Kangmin took his first steps.
“evil!”
A scream came out of nowhere. There was tremendous pain in my left lower back and right leg ankle.
‘Damn it, this is the place where I was kicked by a middle-aged man earlier.’
I was so nervous during the fight that I couldn’t feel the pain, but now that the fight was over, it all happened all at once.
‘It looks like the bone is broken or cracked.’
Whether it was my side or my ankle, it hurt so much. It almost brought tears to my eyes.
But I couldn’t stay here. Before I knew it, zombies had flocked to the area.
‘I have to go!’
Kangmin gritted his teeth and started climbing up the shield. The shield was made like stairs.
The moment I climbed on the first shield, second shield, and third shield, a muscle zombie rushed at me and passed under my feet.
‘I almost got screwed.’
Once again, I climbed up the shield. It was now above the container.
Kangmin endured the pain and slowly entered the container.
I saw the gas station owner lying there in complete disrepair, and Amin was crying next to him.
Kangmin got off the shield and hurriedly walked up to Amin’s side.
“How are you?”
Amin answered in tears.
“Consciousness… “I think he’s unconscious!”
Kang Min went next to the gas station owner and looked around, but it seemed like Amin was right. The gas station owner was lying as if dead.
However, when I put my hand under his nose, he was breathing.
“I am… I should have helped my father. “I should have come out, I should have!”
Kangmin shook his head. It was clear that if Amin had come out in that situation, things would have become more complicated.
“no. “If Mr. Amin had come out and been caught by them, the problem would have been bigger.”
“Still!”
Kangmin stood up.
“That’s not important now. “I think this guy should move to Gangbuk Union.”
“yes?”
“There’s a doctor and a healer there. “They are the only ones who can save you.”
Amin hesitated at Kangmin’s words. Kangmin tilted his head at that sight.
‘Of course I thought you would ask me to go right away?
Kangmin asked vaguely.
“what happened?”
Amin hesitated before answering.
“My mother died from someone I trusted, and my father didn’t trust anyone. He treated people only as objects to be traded. It was the same when dealing with the Gangbuk Alliance. If he didn’t give me food, he wouldn’t give me gas even if I begged him to. As a result, people died in Gangbuk Union.”
I understand. But my head hurt. In this case, even if they were taken, they might not be able to receive treatment.
‘no!’
Kang Min had to save the gas station owner.
‘I didn’t hear where Kowloon City is.’
That was important to Kangmin.
‘Besides, I definitely said it was solar energy.’
The gas station owner didn’t know much about it and called it ‘solar energy’, but it was actually ‘solar energy’. And the general manager of Kowloon Group solar power was that guy.
‘Kim Sang-cheol may be alive!’
Kang Min had no intention of forgiving Kim Sang-cheol, whether in the real world or in a parallel world.
‘Go and kill him! I’m going to go and grind it into a thousand or ten thousand pieces!’
Kang Min said while looking at Amin.
“I will do my best to persuade the people of the Gangbuk Alliance. “Saving my uncle’s life comes first.”
At Kangmin’s words, Amin looked at Kangmin intently.
“Why are you helping me like this? Rather, you are a victim, right?”
“Well, do you think there is a special kind of thing in the world?”
At Kangmin’s words, Amin looked at Kangmin for a long time.
Amin’s expression changed countless times. It was clear that there was a huge conflict in his mind.
At one point, Amin wiped his tears with the back of his hand and spoke as if he had made up his mind.
“I will do anything if you just save me, my father. Please save my father.”
Amin knew very well what the men who came to the gas station wanted.
“I don’t mean to say things like that.”
Kang Min summoned a shield like stairs in front of his eyes.
“I’m injured and can’t lift you. Mr. Amin must listen. “Can you do it?”
Amin nodded and lifted the gas station owner into a shoulder-to-shoulder position.
But I couldn’t move with the shield. In order to walk, I had to lift the gas station owner and jump between the shields, but I couldn’t do it due to my weak strength.
“I can’t do that. “I’ll go to the union and call someone.”
Amin said, holding Kangmin’s hand tightly.
“Please come. jeon… What I said earlier was not a joke. “If you just save my father, I will do anything.”
“I told you not to say that. Anyway, don’t worry. “I will definitely come!”
* * *
‘Why am I so useless?’
Amin could not shake this thought all the way to the ‘Gangbuk Union’.
Kang Min kept his promise. He returned with two healthy men and a stretcher.
They used two shields to move my father. The problem was myself.
I had no shield left, so my body was shaking even though I was moving tightly next to Kangmin.
“are you okay. “I am holding on to Mr. Amin tightly.”
Amin nodded, but walking in the air about 10 meters high was not an easy task for Amin, who has a fear of heights.
No matter how hard I tried not to, my body was shaking.
“Kangmin, we have to go quickly. “The patient’s condition is not good.”
Amin gritted his teeth as he heard the words of the man holding the stretcher behind him. It was a dangerous moment for his father. He had to go fast, but his body didn’t listen.
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, there are things you can’t do.
‘Dad mom. Please help me.’
It was when Amin shouted that in his heart.
“Then let’s do it like this. Close your eyes and completely surrender your body to me. “He holds my hand and stretches his feet when I say one, two, three.”
It was Kang Min. Amin didn’t even respond, but Kangmin hugged his shoulder.
“Close your eyes.”
As Amin closed his eyes, Kangmin counted one, two, three.
I felt strangely comfortable. Amin couldn’t tell if it was because his eyes were closed or because he was in someone’s arms.
However, that is how we arrived at the ‘Gangbuk Union’.
Upon arriving at the Union, as expected, something that Amin was worried about happened. Some people in the coalition were opposed to treatment.
At that time, Kang Min came forward again. As Kang Min persuaded him, even those who opposed him later took a step back.
‘thank you.’
Amin was truly grateful to Kangmin. Amin was sincere. He would do anything to save his father.
The surgery has begun.
Amin sat in front of the operating room and prayed that his father would be safe. I stayed up all night like that.
The next day, Kangmin came. His legs were in casts and his upper body was wrapped in bandages. Only then did Amin remember that Kang Min had been injured in the fight yesterday.
“sorry. Because of us… … .”
“no. “In this world, what does it mean to be because of someone?”
Every word of Kangmin’s words touched Amin. Kangmin was so kind that it made you suspicious.
But it was okay. Even if it was a kindness with a purpose, Amin was grateful now.
“I… Please speak comfortably. “I’m still 19.”
So Amin spoke to Kang Min.
The surgery is over. The doctor said the surgery was a success. The trauma was all gone when the old man used ‘Heal’.
But my father did not regain consciousness.
A few days passed like that.
When I looked out the window of the hospital room where my father was hospitalized, I saw Kangmin and Minjoo going to deal with the zombies.
Fortunately, Kangmin’s cast came off after a few days.
It seemed like a big wound, but it seemed like it was healing quickly.
‘thank god.’
I felt relieved. Then I saw Minju next to Kangmin.
She and Kang-min seemed like colleagues who depended on each other.
‘me too… ‘I want to help too.’
Suddenly, I envied Minjoo. She seemed to be helpful to Kangmin. Besides, she was prettier than him.
‘Does my brother like that girl? So, was it okay for me to be treated kindly?’
I became anxious. Now I can stay here because of Kangmin, but I didn’t know how long I could stay.
‘I must have strength.’
Up until now, my father had been my fence, but now he was unconscious.
‘Now I have to protect my father.’
Now he had to become his father’s fence.
After making up his mind, Amin went to see Kangmin.
“Brother, I have a favor to ask.”
“huh? “What request?”
Amin looked straight at Kangmin and said.
“I want to awaken.”
* * *
The day after Kang-min returned, the doctor examined Kang-min and spoke sternly.
“Why did you come now? If you had just told me yesterday, I would have taken an x-ray. “No more oil!”
Kangmin answered while scratching his head.
“Everyone is busy because of the surgery.”
“No matter what, is it as important as you? There’s nothing you can do now, just don’t move. “You just have to lie down.”
“How long should I lie down?”
“Lie like this for at least a week, no, two weeks. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be broken, but you never know.”
Hilo was able to treat external injuries, but not internal injuries.
The doctor cast Kang-min’s legs and bandaged his upper body to prevent him from moving.
“Ha, you have to lie down completely.”
I had to bring back more ramen that I left behind and collect more cash and jewelry, but I couldn’t do anything.
The meal was brought by Minjoo and Hongyoung. It was all white porridge.
It was frustrating. Kang-min became frustrated and went to A-min with her crutches.
Fortunately, I heard that the gas station owner’s surgery went well. However, he is not conscious, but the doctor said he will come to his senses before long.
‘You must get up. Absolutely!’
In reality, it was impossible to kill Kim Sang-cheol.
‘The only way to create a company using the skills my father left me would be to embarrass myself.’
But here in the parallel world, it was different.
‘Kill! Kill! I’ll kill you again.’
For that to happen, the gas station owner had to wake up. I had to hear where Kowloon City was.
Maybe it was because I was so excited thinking about Kim Sang-cheol that I felt relaxed.
‘I’m bored.’
I felt like I was going crazy from frustration as I lay still.
Then something occurred to me.
‘that’s right! synthesis!’
Kangmin immediately called up the status window.
Kangmin smiled brightly.
‘The stormy fist that shattered my shield, and the swift feet that made no sound. They were all huge.’
Kangmin thought that since it was of course a combination, the skill would be a combination of these two skills.
Kangmin pressed the YES button.
Light flashed before my eyes. It was so dazzling that Kangmin closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.
A blurry message appeared before my eyes.
‘what?’
The message became clearer and revealed itself.
Kangmin’s heart sank.
“what!”
This was not what Kangmin wanted.
‘Fuck, shouldn’t there be a skill like Steel Step, Steel Cat, or at least a Sneak Strike?’
However, the name ‘healthy body’ gave off the scent of an ordinary skill.
“phew.”
A sigh came out of my mouth. But the water had already spilled.
‘But what is that, E Plus? ‘Is there a grade called Plus?’
I was a little curious.
‘Would you like to know what kind of skill it is?’
Kang Min touched on the detailed explanation of ‘healthy body’.
* Healthy body (E+)
– Skills with a plus grade are unique skills of that grade.
– Depending on how much it grows, better effects may appear than higher grade skills.
– Your body becomes healthier. The healthier you are, the faster your growth rate will be.
Level 1: All physical activity growth rate increases by 50%. Natural healing power increases by 50%.
Level 2: All physical activity growth rates increase by 100%. Natural healing power increased by 100% – 10 points.
… …
Level 9: Increases all physical activity growth rates by 500%. Natural healing power increased by 500% – 2,000 points.
Kangmin blinked.
“Unique skill? mi… it’s crazy!”
The word crazy came out naturally. The capabilities of a ‘healthy body’ were beyond imagination.
‘All physical activity promotes growth? So, doesn’t that mean you will grow whether you do boxing or exercise?’
This alone is amazing, but the ‘natural healing power’ is even more amazing.
‘This is a completely different type of heel, right? Of course it will take time.’
I had acquired perhaps the most necessary skill to live in the world for the rest of my life.
I felt like I was going to die because I loved it. Kangmin grinned and fell asleep without realizing it. It was 6 o’clock in the morning.
It was around 12 o’clock when Kangmin opened his eyes again. Minjoo brought lunch and woke me up.
Kang-min was surprised after eating all the white porridge that Min-ju gave him.
‘I feel better.’
I quickly realized why. It was because of a ‘healthy body’. It was clear that the ‘natural healing power’ had healed my body while I was sleeping.
‘It’s like this. Then it can’t be like this! point! ‘You have to earn points and level up!’
If I had just the points, I could increase my natural healing ability and recover from my injuries faster.
“Minju, I have a favor to ask you!”
“What?”
Minju was very angry because he went to the gas station without telling her.
“no… “That’s it.”
Kang-min hesitated and then asked Min-joo to hunt zombies with him. Naturally, Minjoo refused.
It made no sense for someone who couldn’t even move to hunt zombies.
“You know my whirlwind shield skill. I’ll just stand there. “Just take out the zombies that come from behind you.”
Kang Min’s ‘Tornado Shield’ skill was not all-powerful. There were a lot of zombies, and Kang-min had no eyes on his back.
If even a short zombie came from behind and bit me, that would be the end.
Min-joo refused, but when Kang-min continued to beg, he had no choice but to agree.
“Just 10 minutes, just 10 minutes.”
The first day wasn’t too hard. Just 10 points. I quit after only getting 10 points.
But the effect was enormous. The pain in my body was definitely reduced even without taking painkillers.
Kangmin got 20 points the next day and 50 points the day after that. He raised his skills by 1 level per day.
The day after he reached level 4, Kangmin was able to have his cast removed.
It’s not completely healed yet, but the bones have healed and the swelling in my ankle has completely gone down.
“This is a miracle. How did it heal so quickly? “This doesn’t make sense!”
“I guess the wound was worse than I thought.”
Kang Min answered the doctor’s question slyly and left the hospital.
“I’m really glad. Fortunately, I still have time.”
Today was Thursday. When we returned back to the real world on Saturday, there was a lot to prepare for.
If possible, I wanted to hear the location of ‘Kowloon City’ and go there, but the gas station owner was still unconscious.
‘Should I ask the doctor and get some medicine from real life?’
It was when Kangmin had that thought. Amin appeared in front of Kangmin as he walked down the hallway.
“uh? Amin?”
“brother.”
“Are you here to see your father?”
Amin shook his head at what Kangmin said.
“Brother, I have a favor to ask.”
“huh? “What request?”
Amin looked straight at Kangmin and said.
“I want to awaken.”
* * *
Bringing back a regular zombie was no longer a task for Kangmin.
They approached an ordinary zombie walking around alone, stuffed his mouth with a stick, and tied his arms with handcuffs.
Kangmin rode his shield and brought the zombies to the back of the apartment.
A few people were surprised to see a zombie, but when they saw Kangmin next to them, they felt relieved and passed by.
That’s how much Kang Min was trusted by everyone here.
Amin was already waiting in the shade behind the apartment.
“I brought you what you asked for. But is it really okay?”
Amin nodded.
Kang Min trapped a zombie with four shields. The zombie struggled, but could not move because of the shield.
“Okay, now it’s your turn.”
Amin, who received the sashimi knife given by Kangmin, approached the zombie.
The zombie was a female zombie who appeared to be around Amin’s age.
“Don’t hesitate. “Pierce your throat in one go.”
Without hesitation, Amin stabbed him in the neck with a sashimi knife. A sashimi knife dug into her female zombie’s throat. But she was shallow.
– Ugh… ah… … !
The zombie screamed. However, his voice did not come out well, perhaps because he was stabbed in the neck.
“Put it in with more force!”
When Kangmin screamed, Amin blocked his teeth. Her whole body trembled.
‘You have to do it! ‘I have to do it!’
“Ahh!”
Amin shouted and pushed the sashimi knife all the way in.
It wasn’t just once. Amin took out Sashimi’s knife and stabbed her again, and then again.
The zombies’ screams gradually decreased. After a while, the zombie’s neck was broken.
“Sigh… Sigh… … .”
Amin’s face was covered in blood as zombie blood splattered all over it.
Kangmin wiped Amin’s face with a wet tissue.
“Good job.”
Amin was moved to tears by that one word. Everyone in this world does this, but I found this particularly difficult.
“It’s okay… It’s okay. For helping me. Thanks, oh… bar.”
Kangmin nodded and said.
“A message appeared in front of you, right?”
Amin nodded.
Then Kangmin asked cautiously.
“I heard you shouldn’t ask questions like this, but can you tell me what skills you have acquired?”
“Sure. I told you, I’ll do anything. wait a minute.”
Amin stared at something into space for a moment, then looked embarrassed and did not speak.
“If it’s difficult to talk, you don’t have to.”
“No, brother, it’s not like that. “I did it because something very strange occurred to me.”
“Something strange?”
Amin nodded and opened his mouth.
“Yes, it’s not strange. I think it’s completely wrong. “Okay then.”
“Are you saying it’s wrong?”
Amin answered with a bitter expression.
“Otherwise, why are your skills… … .”
