Kangmin widened his eyes as he looked at the gate. Something was coming out through the gate.
‘That…’ what?’
The first thing I saw was a huge axe.
It was a huge ax that was three times larger than the ax Kangmin was holding.
Then I saw a green arm holding an axe. It was an arm lumpy with muscle. Next was the body and face.
His skin was green, he had a snub nose, and his entire body was muscular.
“oh… nice?”
The words came out automatically.
The monster that came out through the gate looked similar to the orcs seen in games and movies. The only difference was that he was very tall.
It looked two heads bigger than the zombies next to it.
‘Even if I can’t do it, it looks like I can reach 3m.’
I didn’t think I could beat a bear that big.
‘Fuck, what should I do?’
I felt like I wanted to run away right away. However, the ‘gold exchange’ in front of me caught my eye.
If I ran away like this, it would be difficult to come back here.
‘Still, I can’t help it. ‘Because life is more important than money.’
Kangmin decided to go back.
But that was then.
“Kaaaa!”
The Orc who had completely escaped the gate let out a ‘scream’. It was the ‘roar’ of an orc.
At that moment, Kangmin’s whole body trembled.
‘what… this?’
My legs lost strength. She would have collapsed if his hand hadn’t been holding the window frame.
Kangmin gritted his teeth and looked out the window.
All the zombies standing in the Shinil High School playground and streets were kneeling.
The only ones standing were the orcs and zombies that were larger than the other zombies.
‘What are those zombies again?’
At first glance, it didn’t look unusual.
I had to run away right now. Kangmin was about to leave the building, but stopped and tilted his head.
‘wait… ‘Maybe this?’
Kang Min looked at the gold exchange. All the zombies there were kneeling and bowing their heads.
‘It could be an opportunity!’
The worry was short-lived. Kang Min went outside the building, hid between cars, and ran to the gold exchange.
I went through the main gate of the gold exchange and hid behind the wall, but was not detected by the zombies.
“omg… omg… … .”
My heart was beating like crazy.
‘I was lucky.’
From now on, it was just a matter of time. I didn’t know how long the zombies would be like that.
Kangmin quickly walked towards the glass exhibition hall.
‘oh my god!’
This place was full of things I had dreamed of.
‘This is a mini gold bar! This is a golden key! Is this a golden pig?’
A mini gold bar is a gold bar weighing about 3g. Even if it was just 3 grams, one gold bar was worth well over 100,000 won.
Those mini gold bars were neatly displayed. At first glance, it was all pure gold. They were everywhere.
That wasn’t all. The walls were full of necklaces and bracelets.
Kang Min put it all in a bag.
The bag soon became heavy.
‘Is this about 3kg?’
This wasn’t enough. Kangmin ran up to the second floor.
Kangmin’s eyes widened.
‘oh my god.’
This place was full of gold bars weighing more than 10g. It seemed like the higher you went upstairs, the more expensive things were on display.
Kangmin put it all in his bag. My bag became heavy, but my heart felt light.
Kangmin went up to the third floor with high expectations. The gorgeous and luxurious interior decoration came first.
Moreover, unlike other places, there were not many products to be seen here.
Kang Min went inside. There were three 1kg gold bars placed in the cabinet.
Kangmin opened his mouth.
‘This is the VIP room!’
I broke the window with an ax and picked up a gold bar. She was heavy.
‘This one costs 60 million won!’
This alone was more expensive than the salary of most office workers.
Kangmin put three gold bars in his bag. I also wanted to see the 4th floor, but the door to the 4th floor was locked. I was greedy, but I didn’t have time.
‘Okay, this is enough.’
Kangmin ran down to the first floor.
Until then, the zombies were kneeling and bowing their heads.
Kangmin carefully went out the front door again.
‘Good!’ If I go home like this, this mission will be over! I’m going to hide somewhere, be quiet, and then go back to the real world!’
Kangmin smiled and walked away. But that was then.
The moment Kangmin passed the gold exchange building with a smile, he made eye contact with a zombie in the alley.
Kangmin’s smile became distorted.
‘Fucked!’
* * *
Early in the morning, two men were looking toward Mia Station from the top of Opae Mountain in Gangbuk-gu.
“Gyeongtae, is it true that Jinho Bang is dead?”
A man who looked like he was in his late 30s asked Gyeongtae, who looked like he was in his late teens, next to him.
“Uncle Cheolsu, I told you that the 3rd team leader was dead. Captain, don’t you know that I don’t lie? “I’m sure.”
“I guess so? I can’t believe it. That damn bastard is finally dead. “In times like this, you should at least drink a glass of soju.”
“You said he killed your son, right? “If there had been soju, I would have offered you a glass.”
Cheolsu said with a bitter smile.
“Thank you for your words. But I’m really hungry for soju. Among all those houses, is there any one left with a bottle of soju? Even if it’s just for soaking liquor.”
“Arthur. Have you ever been bitten by a zombie while robbing an empty house and become a zombie? Moreover, there are now almost no homes with even a little bit of food left to eat.”
As Gyeongtae shook his head and spoke, Cheolsu looked vaguely down the mountain and said.
“but… It’s already been 6 months. “There won’t be anything left.”
“That’s right, it’s already been six months.”
The eyes of the two people became faint.
The world collapsed in 6 months. Zombies are rampant all over the world, and most humans have turned into zombies.
“Uncle, there are no troops left, right?”
“maybe… … .”
“If it weren’t for that gate, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Hearing Gyeongtae’s words, Cheolsu bit his lip and looked at the gate.
“Yeah, if that damn thing hadn’t shown up, a lot of people would have survived.”
When zombies first appeared, humanity was shocked, but handled it quite well. The area was sealed off and the zombies were dealt with with gunpowder weapons.
The results were encouraging. Although they were zombies that did not die, many of them were neutralized.
There was hope that humanity could win.
But then a gate appeared. It’s been two months since the zombies appeared.
When the gate appeared, nearby zombies gathered to protect it.
Humanity sensed something was strange and took action, but by then it was already too late.
A few days later the gate opened and black smoke billowed out. Black smoke entered the bodies of nearby zombies.
The zombies’ bodies began to change. The bodies of the zombies that inhaled black smoke swelled. His appearance also changed into something bizarre.
Those zombies didn’t die even if you shot them with a gun. The force was strong enough to throw a car.
The zombies that inhaled black smoke were only about 1/10th of the total zombies, but it was enough to change the tide.
“uh? Man, the gate is shaking!”
“what? “Tell me more!”
The reason the two were here was to check the status of the ‘gate’.
A faint light flowed from Gyeongtae’s eyes. Gyeongtae looked intently at the ‘Shinil High School’ playground below the mountain.
“Something is coming out of the gate.”
“Is it black smoke like last time?”
“no. It’s an axe, it’s an axe. “A very big axe!”
“ax?”
Gyeongtae did not answer but looked more intently. Gyeongtae’s eyes shined brighter.
Gyeongtae’s skill was ‘clairvoyance grade D’. It was a skill that allowed you to see a distance of 1km as if it were right in front of you.
“Oh my god, man, this is a big deal! “A monster came out of the gate!”
“A monster?”
“Green monster! He is about 3m tall! All muscle… That’s right, orcs. “It looks just like a fantasy orc!”
“Oak? My God, how many?”
Although Cheolsu was in his late 30s, he knew what an orc was.
“One.”
“one animal? That’s a big problem… … .”
It was then.
“Kaaaa!”
The orc’s roar echoed everywhere.
Gyeongtae’s ‘clairvoyance’ skill was released and Cheolsu, who had been standing up, collapsed.
“this… what’s this?”
As Cheolsu spoke tremblingly, Gyeongtae activated his skill again and looked down.
“Uncle, quick! I have to go quickly and tell people. All zombies are obeying those orcs. You can’t win that thing. “We have to run away!”
“Run away? no! “How can you run away with so many kids?”
“It can’t be helped. That’s not something you can win! “All those zombie hordes might come!”
Cheolsu looked down. However, in Cheolsu’s eyes, all he could see was a huge number of zombies that looked very small.
“I found out first. “I will go and tell you.”
Cheolsu prepared to jump down. Cheolsu’s skill was ‘Runner D grade’.
Although he had no offensive ability, it was a skill that allowed him to run as fast as an Olympic runner.
When Cheolsu finished preparing to use the skill and was about to run down the mountain, Gyeongtae called.
“uh? “Uncle, wait a minute.”
Cheolsu, who was about to run down, stopped.
“why! Urgent!”
“excuse me… There is one person. “It’s near Mia Station.”
Cheolsu distorted his face.
“I guess he’s a survivor. Looks like you managed to survive until now. But Gyeongtae, we don’t have time to worry about that right now.”
“I know. “It’s just that the ax that person is holding looks exactly like Seungcheol’s brother’s ax.”
Cheolsu paused.
“what?”
“Isn’t that guy by any chance? Captain 3 said that. “Seungcheol gave it to the person who killed his brother Dok2 and Bang Jinho.”
Gyeongtae and Cheolsu’s eyes met.
“If it’s really him!”
Cheolsu remembered what Team 3 leader asked him to do before coming here.
“Uncle, go quickly. “You have to tell the 3rd team leader about this!”
* * *
“Krrrrgh!”
The zombie that discovered Kangmin screamed and rushed towards him.
Kang Min put his shield in front of him and struck down his axe.
“Kaaaa!”
The zombie screamed and fell down.
I got 1 point, but I wasn’t happy at all.
When I turned my head, tens of thousands of zombies nearby were all looking at Kangmin.
‘Fucked!’
There was no way. Kangmin started running.
Tens of thousands of zombies who saw this stood up and began to follow.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
The sound of tens of thousands of zombies echoed around Mia-dong.
‘Unfortunately, there are zombies hiding in the alley!’
I regretted it, but it was already too late now.
Kang Min ran so hard that I wondered if he had ever run like this in his life.
But the zombies weren’t just in the back.
Just like the zombies in the alley a little while ago, there were zombies in other alleys, under the car, and even in the car.
“Fuck, let go!”
Kangmin stuck out his upper body from under the bus and hit the ax at the zombie that grabbed his foot.
The zombies were killed, but there was a delay. Behind, there was a surge of zombies that it wouldn’t be strange to call it a zombie wave.
Kangmin started running again. However, the zombies jumped towards Kangmin and bounced away.
‘I really think I would have died 100 times if it weren’t for the shield.’
Fortunately, I had leveled up my shield skill, so it still had a lot of durability left.
Kangmin struck the ax down on the fallen zombie.
Kangmin ran again. The distance from the zombies running from behind began to widen little by little.
‘Now, if you go a little further, you’ll be at an intersection! If you run away from the street toward Mt. Bukhansan, they won’t be able to chase you!’
Kangmin started running with more strength.
But that was then.
– Boom! thud! thud!
A huge noise was heard from behind. When I turned around in surprise, I saw a zombie chasing me that was bigger than a normal zombie.
‘That!’
It was clear. It was a large zombie standing next to the orc that came out of the gate. When I looked up close, my entire body was muscular, like a fitness athlete.
‘The guy next to the orc has already chased after me?’
The muscle zombie seemed to jump 2 or 3 meters with each jump.
‘Fuck!’
It was clear that if things continued like this, it wouldn’t be long before they were caught.
‘no! I have to somehow shake that guy off or kill him.’
Kangmin looked around. Dealing with muscle zombies in the middle of the road was like suicide.
I didn’t think I would win, but it was clear that I would soon be surrounded by other zombies.
‘I have to go where it’s roomy for me and narrow for the muscle zombies.’
But I was in such a hurry that I couldn’t decide where to go.
It was then.
“Here! here!”
On the second floor of the officetel on the right, a person held out his hand and shouted.
‘That person!’
It was a helmet. It was the same person wearing the helmet I met yesterday.
‘Why is it there?’
I had a moment of doubt, but it lasted only for a moment. Kangmin ran straight towards the officetel.
Kang Min passed through the front door of the officetel. I saw the stairs going up to the second floor and quickly took them.
But at that moment, I felt a fierce presence behind me.
“Kaaaa!”
The sound came from right behind me.
‘They’ve already come after me!’
Kangmin turned around. The muscle zombie threw its body and swung its huge muscle arm towards Kangmin.
Kangmin held out his shield as far forward as possible.
– Boom!
The shield, which had not moved at all, was pushed back. Kang Min was also pushed backwards, stumbled, and fell down on the stairs.
Kangmin’s eyes wavered.
’30 points were taken off with one attack?’
I raised it to level 2, but if it continued like this, it would be over after being attacked 5-6 times.
The muscle zombie retreated down the stairs due to the impact of hitting the shield a moment ago.
However, the muscle zombie bounced back as if there was no shock at all.
‘Damn it!’
Kangmin couldn’t even stand up yet.
It was then.
“stand up! Stop it!”
Suddenly a hoarse voice was heard from above. I looked up and saw that it was a helmet.
Helmet swung his sword at the muscle zombie on the stairs.
– Snip.
In an instant, the zombie’s left arm was cut off.
It was amazing knife skills. But she had no time to admire. The muscle zombie hit the body of her helmet with her right arm.
At that time, the helmet trick began again.
The knife that cut off the left arm and rose into the sky changed direction and stabbed the muscle zombie in the right shoulder.
“Kaaaa!”
The muscle zombie screamed in pain. Her swinging right arm also stopped.
But a problem arose.
The helmet gave strength, but the sword stuck in my shoulder did not come out. Taking advantage of that moment, the muscle zombie stretched out its right arm and grabbed Helmet’s neck.
“omg!”
The helmet made a muffled sound.
Kangmin opened his eyes wide. If things continued like this, the neck of his helmet would break.
‘no!’
Without a helmet, you would be dead. Kangmin rushed at the muscle zombie with his shield in front.
– Bang!
The shield and the muscle zombie collided, but the muscle zombie did not move at all.
“die!”
Kang Min swung the ax at the muscle zombie’s right arm.
The ax got stuck in his arm, but the muscle zombie’s kick sent Kangmin’s body flying backwards.
“Cough.”
Blood came out of the mouth. It was clear that his organs were damaged.
But now was not the time to worry about that. If things continue like this, the whole thing will be chewed up and eaten by muscle zombies.
‘Is there no way? ‘There is a way!’
Kangmin thought about everything he could do. But he had no axe and his shield skill was useless.
Looking at my helmet, I could see that my strength was gradually decreasing.
‘Is this the end? ‘Is there no way?’
As Kangmin was thinking, it occurred to him that there was still one way.
I opened the status window.
– Points held: 21.
Kangmin’s eyes lit up.
‘You can level up your shield skill!’
I didn’t know if this would be useful or not. This was all I could do right now, and I thought I might be able to survive somehow if I had two shields.
Kangmin immediately leveled up his shield skill.
This is what Kangmin knew up to this point.
However, an unexpected message appeared.
It was the moment when I finally developed an attack skill.
