“Yuck!”
A message appeared in front of me, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to look at it.
The vomit from his body poured down on Bang Jin-ho’s cut face. Disgust soared.
Kang Min used all his strength to turn around and go to the persimmon tree. Kang-min grabbed a persimmon tree and vomited out everything in his body.
“Is this your first time killing someone?”
A hoarse voice was heard from next to me. She managed to turn her head to the side and there was the helmet.
She held out the knife and held it to Kang Min’s neck.
“Grace… “Are you taking revenge?”
“I’m sorry, but Seungcheol is in danger. Give me the handcuff key. “Then let’s get out of here quietly.”
Kangmin threw a bunch of keys from his pocket onto his helmet.
Helmet picked up the key and jumped up to the floor.
“Seungcheol!”
I heard Helm yell.
Kang-min felt like he was going crazy because he killed someone a little while ago, but he came to his senses knowing that they could become ‘enemies’ at any time.
“Ugh!”
Bang Jin-ho’s left arm, which had been stabbed by the knife, was becoming more and more painful.
Kangmin lowered the bag, took out the red medicine from inside, and applied it. The wound was so big that I didn’t think it would be covered with ointment, but I applied a lot of wound regenerative ointment and covered it with a bandage.
However, perhaps because I wrapped it with one arm, it did not wrap well.
“Can I help?”
I looked to the side and saw Sammy, who looked like a high school girl, standing there.
“It’s okay, go away.”
I remembered the helmet with the knife on my neck a little while ago and answered bluntly.
“You don’t have to be on guard for me. “You’re a useless kid.”
The voice was so pitiful that Kang Min could not force it away.
Sammy spread both hands to confirm that there was nothing, then approached Kangmin and unwrapped the bandage and wrapped it again.
The workmanship was quite skillful.
“It’s all done. Don’t use your arms for a while. “Keep it clean if you can.”
Kangmin said while looking at his left arm.
“you’re good.”
Sammy smiled bitterly.
“Because I’ve done it a lot.”
“… That’s right. high school student?”
“third grade… “Maybe.”
He was older than I thought. I thought it was because she had a bare face without makeup.
Kangmin glanced at Sammy. If the world had not become like this, he would have been at an age where he would have been preparing for the college entrance exam.
Sammy tied the bandage and stood up. But she couldn’t take her eyes off the bandage and the red pill.
“Do you need medicine?”
Sammy looked confused for a moment, then nodded.
“Seungcheol’s brother got hurt a lot.”
“take it. “Bring the rest.”
Kangmin immediately agreed. If Seungcheol hadn’t intervened, he would most likely have died.
‘If it’s medicine for a life, it’s cheap.’
I brought all the medicine boxes I had at home and it seemed like a good idea.
“thank you. thank you.”
When Sammy brought bandages, red medicine, and ointment, Kangmin thought of ‘medicine’.
‘Was it cold medicine and painkillers?’
About a month ago, I caught a severe cold and went to the hospital and was prescribed a week’s worth of medication.
I had about a day’s worth of medicine left over, and those medicines were also in the medicine cabinet.
‘The cold medicine contained antibiotics, right? When I went there for back pain, were the medications I was given painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs?
Kang-min took all the cold medicine and anti-inflammatory painkillers, got up and went to the floor.
‘If I go against them, I won’t be able to endure it now. I have to keep this up with them somehow!’
On the floor, Seungcheol was shaking, his body wrapped in bandages.
When Kangmin appeared, everyone looked nervous and grabbed the weapon next to them. Sammy was the only one who didn’t grab a weapon.
“Is the organization you are in made up of only idiots? You blindly followed someone and tried to kill them, and now you continue to be hostile towards the person who even gave you a bandage? or not… … .”
Kangmin looked at everyone one by one and said.
“Are you the same people as the Black Dragon Sect!”
Kang Min provoked what he thought was their weakness. The provocation worked right away.
Helm shouted.
“Stop talking nonsense! “What do you know!”
“I don’t know, but I know you tried to kill me.”
“… “Sigh.”
“As promised earlier. I gave you the key, so get out of my house.”
Hearing Kangmin’s words, Helmet turned his head away from Kangmin.
“I’ll go when Seungcheol gets better.”
“… as you please.”
As Helm let go of his sword, the others also put down their weapons.
Kangmin also looked at Seungcheol. All of the wounds on that body were stabbed right in front of Kang Min.
“These will be antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers. “It’s a medicine you take for colds and back pain.”
Kangmin threw a bag of one day’s worth of medicine.
Helmet looked back at Kangmin in surprise.
However, Kang Min had already entered the living room.
Sammy said to his helmet as he looked at the closed master bedroom door.
“Sister, I don’t think she’s a bad person.”
Helmet nodded slightly.
* * *
Kangmin, who entered the living room, was shaken.
“Sigh… Haha, this is enough, right?”
Sammy’s small words made me think that there was no more danger.
The problem was that my body felt feverish and I had no strength.
‘Is this because I took medicine?’
I heard that there was a drowsy medicine in the cold medicine ingredients, but it didn’t seem like that was the only ingredient.
My eyes closed mercilessly.
‘I can’t sleep. ‘They’re still outside.’
Although he tried to resist, Kangmin quickly collapsed and fell asleep.
Kangmin woke up after it got dark everywhere.
Kangmin suddenly raised his upper body.
“What time is it?”
I took the flashlight out of my bag and looked at the clock to see that it was 4 am.
‘You slept very soundly, didn’t you? Fortunately, I don’t think anything special happened.’
I was worried that they might have done something to me while I was sleeping, but it seemed like nothing much had happened.
When I looked at the bag, it was still the same.
Kangmin carefully opened the bedroom door and went out.
I could see the floor and Kangmin’s room that was open.
‘I guess they’re all gone.’
Fortunately, the helmet lived up to its promise.
When I went out into the yard, there was no ‘body’. Even that was something they took care of.
‘Aren’t they bad people?’
I felt a little disappointed. If they weren’t bad people, there were a lot of things I wanted to ask them.
‘Especially this one.’
Kangmin looked at the message window floating in front of him.
‘The shield skill is probably the transparent shield that man used, right?’
When I killed a person, I was able to absorb the skills that person used.
Kangmin still didn’t know if this was just him or if other people could be like this too.
But one thing was clear.
‘Honestly, it was an amazing skill.’
Kangmin opened the status window.
1. Name: Choi Kang-min.
2. Skill (1/3)
– Language (S) (LV. 1)
* Irregular information
1. Power
– World Line Movement (SSS) (LV. 1)
– Weight limit: 10kg.
– Cool time: 150 hours 28 minutes.
2. Points held: 11.
‘Skill is 1/3. Then you can learn two more skills, right?’
Kangmin immediately pressed the YES button.
2. Skills (2/3)
– Language (S) (LV. 1)
– Shield (D) (LV. 1)
As soon as the skill was registered, instructions on how to use the ‘Shield’ skill came into my head.
Kang Min went out into the yard and summoned the shield, thinking of its ‘location’ in his mind.
A transparent rectangular shield with rounded corners about 50 cm wide and 100 cm tall appeared. The shield was emitting a subtle blue glow.
“It’s killing me!”
Kangmin reached out and touched the shield. His hand broke through the shield.
‘As expected, it’s the same as when he used it.’
The shield blocks the enemy, but it doesn’t seem to block the user.
I didn’t know how much durability 100 was, but the shield user could attack as much as they wanted until durability reached 0.
Kangmin learned more about the ‘Shield’ skill.
Level 1: Summon 1 shield (durability 100)
Level 2: Summon 1 shield (durability 200) – 10 points.
Level 3: Summon 2 shields (Durability 200) – 20 points.
… …
Level 9: Summon 5 shields (500 durability) – 2,000 points.
– When durability expires, the shield is de-summoned. You can summon again after 24 hours.
After seeing the skill details, Kangmin nodded slightly.
‘As the level increases, the number of shields and their durability increase.’
After looking at the detailed information, the conclusion was the point. If you had more points, you could increase the number of shields and their durability.
‘You have to kill zombies to increase your points.’
In the past, I would have been worried first, but now that I have gained a little more confidence in fighting and even acquired a skill called ‘Shield’, I feel more confident.
‘But why did he only have one shield?’
He seemed to be quite skilled enough to fight on equal footing with the leader, but I couldn’t understand why he was only using one shield.
‘Were you afraid of killing zombies?’
If he had only two shields, he would have died.
‘I don’t know why, but I was fortunate.’
Kang Min invested the 10 points he had into ‘Shield’.
‘I don’t have enough points to level up the world line, and the language is useless right now. What I need to level up now is the skill that will take responsibility for my safety.’
After testing various things with the shield, Kangmin came up to the floor again.
When he entered his room, there was an ax on the desk and a note underneath it.
To Kang Min, who did not have a weapon, an ax was like a thousand weapons.
[We apologize for what we did today. In addition, Seungcheol was able to survive by providing medicine. I will definitely repay this favor next time.]
It was written with a pen, and it was very pretty.
“It looks like a woman’s handwriting, but who could it be? high school student? Or a helmet?”
It looked like a helmet.
I didn’t like seeing him put a knife to his throat at the end, but leaving the letter and the ax behind made me like him to a certain extent.
But there was not just one piece of paper. There was another sheet behind it.
[As you may already know, please do not go near Shinil High School. There are a lot of zombies. You never know when the gate there might explode, so take refuge in a safe place.]
‘Are there zombies flocking to Shinil High School?’
The reason why there were no ‘zombies’ that Kang Min was so curious about was written here.
‘But what about the gate? ‘What is that again?’
I was curious, but there was no one who could tell me.
‘Let me write in detail.’
Around 5 o’clock the sun began to rise.
I was hungry, so I found a burner in the warehouse, took it out, and cooked some ramen brought from the real world. Only then did I feel like I was going to live.
My left arm, where I had been stabbed, was sore, but not so much that I couldn’t move it.
“Okay, let’s go make some money!”
Kang-min put his bag deep in the warehouse and went out the gate with an ax and a bottle of water.
* * *
Kangmin first stopped by a sports store, carried a large bag and put a water bottle in it.
Kang-min robbed the Geum-eun Room in the main alley after passing ‘Ui Elementary School’.
“Is this income not very good?”
The weight that could be taken home was limited to 10 kg. 24K gold or diamonds were best to carry as efficiently as possible relative to the weight.
Last time I came, I swept up everything, but this time, I only picked out 24K gold, so even if I swept out all the gold and silver, I couldn’t even fill 1/10th of the bag.
‘I think this is worth about 10 million won, but it’s not worth it. ‘Isn’t there somewhere better?’
I looked at the wallets scattered around the streets, but most of them didn’t have cash in them.
There were 10,000 won and 1,000 won bills in it, but Kangmin didn’t pick them up.
In the end, Kang Min went to ‘Suyu Station’.
Banks were seen everywhere. It was one of the most desirable places, but there was no way to break into the ‘safe’.
Kangmin turned his head and looked in all directions.
Numerous cars were tangled together, and zombies were moving around among them.
“Uuuuuu!”
There weren’t a lot of zombies, but they were moving around here and there.
‘That dog is disgusting.’
But I couldn’t just pass it by.
The points gained by killing zombies were directly related to survival.
‘You need to get a lot of points and strengthen your skills. ‘That’s how I can live here!’
Kangmin quietly walked up to the back of the nearest zombie.
But I don’t know how the zombie turned around.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
A zombie rushed at Kangmin. It was a male student zombie wearing a school uniform.
‘shield!’
A shield emitting blue light appeared in front. The male student zombie was blocked by the shield and was unable to attack Kangmin.
‘Is it 1 each time it hits? ‘Then it’s worth it!’
Kang Min held the ax with both hands and struck it down. However, due to the wound on his left arm, the ax combed through the zombie’s head and cut into his shoulder.
“Kaaaa!”
The zombie screamed. At the sound of that scream, all the zombies around looked at this place.
Kangmin pulled out the ax again and hit the male student zombie on the head.
The ax went straight into the head, splitting it open.
The message I was hoping for appeared, but it couldn’t stay like this.
Three zombies were running from all directions.
‘Is one on the left, one in the middle, and one on the right?’
Kang Min did not run away. Kang Min jumped to the right side closest to him.
“die!”
Kang Min and the zombie lady who was running from the right collided. To be exact, the lady zombie collided with the ‘shield’.
The lady zombie bounced off the shield and fell on the road.
“Kaaaa!”
The zombie screamed, but Kangmin cheered.
‘it’s crazy! ‘It doesn’t shock me at all!’
Kang Min split the head of the zombie woman with an ax before she could stand up.
From then on, Kang Min had no trouble.
‘If it’s one-on-one, zombies aren’t a problem!’
Kang Min used the complicated vehicles to guide the zombies one by one and kill them all.
The points earned that way were 4 points.
There was also income. There was a large gold and silver room at the Suyu intersection, and a considerable amount of gold could be obtained there.
‘This amount alone will be as much as the precious metal I took last time.’
It seemed to be over 30 million won. But I wasn’t satisfied with this level.
The money needed was 2 billion, and there were only three opportunities to come here until the end of August.
In order to raise 2 billion in three times, you had to get at least 700 million each time.
Kangmin frantically went downstairs, killing zombies.
Before I knew it, I was able to gain over 10 points.
Then, Kang Min saw the building. It was near Mia Station.
‘Gold Exchange!’
Kangmin’s eyes widened. In fact, before coming to the parallel world, Kang Min searched for the most efficient weight-to-weight ratio.
Diamonds were nice, but they had to have an appraisal. Without it, it would have been difficult to get the full price.
‘The best thing is a gold bar.’
One 1kg gold bar cost approximately 60 million won. If you brought just 10 such gold bars, it would be 600 million won.
However, gold bars were not handled anywhere. Gold and Silver Store also handled it, but the quantity was not large.
The place that specialized in gold trading was the gold exchange.
‘I thought the gold exchange was only in Jongno, but it was here too!’
Kangmin ran carefully. Soon he arrived near the gold exchange.
The gold exchange was enormous. The entire four-story building was a gold exchange.
‘That’s El Dorado!’
If I could just take all the gold there, the 2 billion debt would be repaid in no time.
But there was a problem.
Starting from the gold exchange, zombies began to increase in number.
‘How far are the zombies?’
Kangmin looked around and entered the building on the right.
Fortunately, there were no zombies inside the building. Kangmin passed the second floor, entered the coffee shop on the third floor, and looked out the window.
At that moment, Kangmin’s face turned blue.
“I… What is that!”
There, the road was completely filled with endless zombies.
That wasn’t all.
There was a huge circle border made of stone in the middle of the playground of what appeared to be a school.
Blue waves were rippling within the border.
‘Could that be the gate?’
The gate mentioned in the letter was clear.
But something happened that wasn’t even written in the letter.
Something started coming out of the gate.
