As time passed, the zombies that had gathered in front of the communal front door could not bear to do anything about it and gradually dispersed as the atmosphere cooled.

The landlord was right.

No matter how hard an adult man tries.

Even if it were a zombie, it couldn't break through that door.

Still, what if… I set up a desk I brought from home in the hallway on the first floor, just in case zombies broke through the tempered glass.

I thought this alone wouldn't be enough, so I took out everything that was large and heavy and blocked it.

I had a hard time carrying the bed I had bought with such great determination and setting it up.

Even after all this, I still can't completely erase my anxiety, so I wonder if this temporary solution will have some effect.

The moment this is breached, a much louder sound will echo around than if the communal front door is breached, so it may be used as an alarm.

I decided to finish the first floor with this, and thinking that there might be zombies inside, I armed myself as much as I could and went up to the fourth floor with a knife and hammer in my hands.

"This… "Can I open it?"

It is questionable whether a small hammer can really break in through a front door made of solid iron.

My head says it's absolutely impossible, but it's a door lock. So, I felt like what would happen if I broke the number key.

"Whoa."

I couldn't just sit back and watch the food deplete in real time, so I had to open it somehow and go in.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get something to use as a weapon.

After taking a deep breath, I lifted the hammer.

Then.

The status window blocked my eyes.

[Jaewon Han

(Skill)

I got one point from the zombie I caught yesterday, but the status window arbitrarily used that point to increase my strength.

"Oh."

I couldn't look at him favorably because he kept trying to put me in danger.

However, seeing as how he saves his points and then uses them when he really needs them, he may not be as bad as I thought.

Anyway, if my strength increased by 1 and the total strength was 12, the possibilities opened up a little more than before, and I hit the hammer towards the number key with a faint hope.

Cough! Kang!

I didn't hit it very long, but the number key was no longer able to hold up and began to distort and break.

Sigh! Bah! Sigh!

Before we knew it, the inside of the machine was completely broken beyond recognition.

From mixed lines to electronic boards.

I felt like if I just kept going like this, I would be able to open the door smoothly.

However.

Other than that!

The door lock, which was dying, suddenly made a loud siren sound and started struggling.

"What the fuck?! "

Why is the child suddenly acting like this?

It was clear that the quiet zombies outside would make a fuss due to the deafening sound of the siren.

I don't know if it sounds for a moment and then disappears, but what if the siren sound keeps coming from inside and irritates the zombies?

If the stimulated zombies were pounding on the door day and night, it seemed like even the strongest door would break through.

In any case, the communal front door is made of glass.

I don't know how long the communal front door will last.

I could have blocked it without any problems like yesterday, but I had to consider the worst-case scenario that it would break before its durability had run out.

So I mercilessly hit the number key, which was still crying, with a hammer.

Perhaps the sound was coming from the inside, not the outside. Even though the number keys had completely fallen off, the sound was not good.

The tattered number key was no longer attached and fell off.

The place where the number key was attached until just now.

A few strands of wire connected through a small hole that was hidden, and I couldn't bear to let go of the number key.

This line should be connected to the door lock installed inside.

So, it meant that the key parts that are making this loud siren sound are inside.

I quickly tried to push the hammer into the hole, but when I realized it wasn't the right size, I turned it the other way and inserted the hammer handle and started pounding it.

I kept hearing the sound of something breaking inside.

Soon,

Ehh… Eh… Wow.

The siren sound slowly lost strength and then disappeared completely.

It seems like the fire has been put out in a hurry, but we don't know what's going on on the first floor.

She put down her hammer for a moment and carefully went down to the first floor, holding the knife she had brought with her tightly in her right hand.

ㅡBig! Big!

-Kyaaaaa!

Bang! Bang bang! Bang!

Fortunately, the communal front door peeking through the poorly constructed barricade was completely blocking the incoming zombies.

As soon as the zombies saw me, they started pounding on the door even more frantically, but they didn't even flinch.

"Ha… "

When I saw that, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Along with the tension, my legs gave out and I fell down with my butt on the stairs.

I sat on the stairs for a moment to calm my pounding heart, and soon went back up to the 4th floor to continue my goal of exploring the 4th floor.

Looking at the silence even now with the sound of sirens, it looks like an empty house, but I didn't let go of tension.

I hold the door handle and open it.

It didn't open easily as if something was stuck, but when I pulled on it with all my strength, I realized that it was just something that was stuck and the front door I wanted to open so badly was opening.

I quickly opened the door, took a stance, and raised the knife.

Contrary to these concerns, it was still quiet inside.

I was greeted by a quiet, narrow studio room that didn't even seem to have zombies, let alone people.

Only then did I relax a little and go inside.

I thought as I looked around the messy room.

Was the owner of the room a young college student like me?

In addition to the desk with a computer, the bookshelf right next to it was full of major books.

And again. As expected.

"Tsk…"

I open the refrigerator, but the only thing worth taking is two unopened 1.5L bottles of water.

There was nothing to fill my stomach other than water.

Although it's disappointing, it's probably fortunate that I brought water, which is a necessity.

First of all, it's not a waste of money.

I took out two bottles of fine water from the refrigerator where I couldn't feel any cold.

In addition, I packed the room owner's clothes and underwear, as well as a thick textbook.

I also don't like the idea of taking other people's underwear over other people's clothes.

However, not only was there no way to leave the one-room building, but it was also impossible to wash clothes with the limited water.

Unless you plan on wearing the same clothes and underwear over and over again for days or weeks, you may feel a little uncomfortable… No, it was a choice I had no choice even if I came in crazy.

So I took everything I could from this small room and left.

It was a different room now.

Cough! Kang! Sigh! Bah!

Other than that!

This time, not long after I hit the hammer to break her door lock, the siren rang.

Since she had already experienced it once, she did not panic and went straight into the hole, broke the door lock installed on the inside, and went inside.

There was this loud sound twice, but there was no sound from inside, let alone a sign of presence, so my expectations had long since been lost.

Naturally, there was no one in the small room.

Instead, while the next room was the man's room, this time it was the woman's room.

It must have been the room of a woman who lived alone well, and the room was well organized compared to the room next door.

Furthermore, a refrigerator full of food greeted me.

"Wow…"

From frozen foods to ready-to-eat foods and finally snacks.

The number was truly diverse.

The problem was that there was too much to throw away because the electricity was cut off and the refrigerator couldn't power, but there was still a harvest.

I took everything I could from here and headed straight to the next room.

So, four rooms on the fourth floor, three rooms on the third floor excluding my room. Completed exploration of a total of 11 rooms up to the 2nd floor.

If you eat food sparingly like that, you can get enough food to last up to three months.

There was more water than expected, so it seemed easy for half a year.

But. There isn't really anything that can be used as a weapon.

Above all, the first floor has not been checked yet.

First, we took out the beds that were essential in each room and, sweating profusely, blocked the first floor hallway connected to the entrance.

Even if it was carefully blocked, it was added later and placed or placed repeatedly.

"Whoa."

I shook off my sweaty clothes and smiled with satisfaction.

It was clear that even a horde of zombies would never be able to penetrate the miscellaneous junk that filled the first floor hallway.

On days when even mutant zombies don't pop out.

Anyway, for this reason, I comfortably opened the doors on the first floor and went inside to look inside.

I looked through all 15 rooms and couldn't find a single person, including a zombie, but I was able to take a lot of things.

I found a sashimi knife in the last room I checked on the first floor.

I was wondering why this was here, but I was very interested in the fish filling the refrigerator and making raw fish, and there were so many books related to raw fish, as if I was drawing my future in this direction.

But was it possible to use a sashimi knife properly in this small studio?

Well, whatever it was, I decided to not worry about it because it was good for me.

Considering that it is much longer and sharper than the kitchen knives I have used so far, I think I will be able to use this as my main weapon until a better weapon comes out.

After finishing what I had to do right now, I felt tired.

Although the cries of zombies were still tickling my ears, I looked up at the second floor window that illuminated the interior of the hallway.

The red sky was visible as it was already getting late in the evening.

I wanted to ask why the earth is like this when the sky is so peaceful and quiet, and if there is a God.

If there was a God in the first place, he wouldn't have left the world to be destroyed by zombies.

3rd floor with a bitter smile. I went up to my room.

No electricity, no candles. As night fell, there was nothing to brighten up the narrow studio room, which was tinged with darkness.

That's why I ate the food I earned through my day's labor and then went straight to bed.

I was sweaty and uncomfortable, but I couldn't help it.

I just closed my eyes and waited for tomorrow to come.
