In a slightly calm atmosphere again.

Seo Ah spoke to her with a short exclamation.

"Do you have a phone?"

"Phone? No. I don't have one?"

When asked with anticipation if I had a smartphone, which was nothing more than a small TV that I used only to watch Youtube or NexPlus, I shook my head and said.

Normally, it would have been one of the essential items to have some fun during a long and boring day, but as all electricity was cut off, the smartphone became unusable and was reduced to a small piece of luggage.

Even if you carry it around like in the past, you can't use it, it's heavy compared to its size, and it's annoying, so is there really a need to keep carrying it around?

Now that the world has been destroyed due to the zombie outbreak, I don't see any value in carrying it around, so I just put it in a corner of the room and didn't bother to carry it around.

"Yeah… I see… "

Seo-ah fell asleep out of regret.

"But why all of a sudden?"

"Well… I wanted to contact my dad to see if he was okay… "

Seo-ah said.

Before the smartphone battery ran out, she had been in contact with her parents to make sure they were okay, but for some reason the electricity suddenly cut off and the battery gradually disappeared, so it became impossible to confirm whether she was alive or dead.

So, if I had a smartphone, I was planning to borrow it and make a call.

"Don't you have a separate auxiliary battery?"

"I have it… But I can't use it because I didn't charge it…"

She said that she didn't know that something like this would happen and that she didn't charge it, and her eyes became moist.

She was an orphan with no family, and she couldn't sympathize with Seo-ah's feelings because she had no one to contact or worry about, as her school days ended with her being bullied.

Still, she pretended to sympathize with her and held her in her arms as she cried again.

She fell into her arms without showing any resistance like she did just now, and her heart sank from the warmth of a warm person she had felt for the first time in a long time.

Suddenly, she cried turned into her crying her.

I ended up giving Seo-ah my arms until she stopped crying.

*

As time passed, we decided to stay together at Seo-ah's house, which was spacious, clean, and above all, safe.

It bothered me a little that I was a man, but she didn't want to be left alone like before, so she willingly accepted me.

So, I started taking little by little food and drinking water, such as canned food, that I had saved in my room her her her, and moved them to her her house her her her, or rather, to our house where we were going to live together.

And today too, I left home, walked around, and brought back food and water.

Standing in front of room 402, I carefully knocked on the iron door.

After a while. The tightly closed door slowly opened with the sound of pounding footsteps inside.

Seo-ah's face peeks out through a small gap in the door.

Is it because, unlike before when I was lonely, I have someone by my side? Her brown hair, which was dull and patchy here and there, disappeared everywhere, and her long, shiny hair hung down, unable to overcome her gravity.

Additionally, the shadows under her eyes completely disappeared, and the cracked skin regained its porcelain-smooth, pure white appearance.

A face so beautiful that it could be safely called a goddess was enough to make me dazed at any time.

"Are you here… ?"

Seo-ah's face brightened as her red eyes, she found me.

At the same time, a smile bloomed on my face.

"I'm here."

She stretched out her hand and roughly stroked Seo-ah's hair.

She looked dissatisfied at the thought of her hair, which she had worked so hard to straighten, becoming tangled, but as if she did not just dislike this touch, she gently closed her eyes and enjoyed my touch.

"Stop petting me and come back in. How long do you plan on staying out?"

From what I checked, I couldn't find any people or even zombies inside this building.

Nevertheless, Seo-ah was worried about the possible presence of zombies, so she grabbed the sleeve of my clothes and dragged me inside.

I was obediently led by her lead.

After entering the front door, Seo-ah hurriedly closed the front door.

As if she wasn't satisfied with just having the door closed, she manually locked the door lock and put on her safety ring, and then she patted her chest in relief.

Soon, Seo-ah was held in my arms.

Unlike herself, she rubbed her face against the man's hard chest and felt the warmth of his warm embrace to her, her heart, her's content her.

Unlike before when she was shy, she now embraces me without hesitation.

It would be difficult to say that the time we met was long, and it was really short to say that it was short, but I could say that the gap between me and Seo-ah narrowed a lot during that short time.

She was suddenly left alone in a world destroyed by a zombie outbreak, and the battery of her smartphone her, her only means of contact her, was gone, so she was unable to contact her family or even know their fate her, so she was already at her limit. Maybe it was because of the crowds.

In this way, even though I didn't do anything in particular, I was able to close the distance between her and her, and she ended up relying on me.

Also, her yearning for affection little by little from me was a great stimulus to me, who had never held the hand of a girl her age her, let alone her girlfriend her her, during my adult years.

Naturally, dark feelings bloomed.

Seo-ah's steamy scent hit my nose so strongly, and when I immediately felt the feel of her soft skin and breasts, it became difficult to bear it.

I feel like I'll make a big mistake if I'm not careful.

However, she couldn't push Seo-ah away, so she tried to suppress her rising sexual desire.

"Jaewon…"

Seo-ah's voice was full of worry as she raised her eyes and looked up at my face.

"There's a lot to eat and a lot to drink, so wouldn't there be a need to keep going out… ? Wouldn't it be okay to not go out for a while… ?"

Even though I had obtained nearly a year's worth of food and water, I was not satisfied at all and was worried that something would go wrong as I left home early in the morning.

"Hmm…"

The answer was already decided.

Still, I pretended to be worried and fell asleep, then shook my head.

"You never know when or what will happen. Come on."

He said, gently pushing Seo-ah out of his arms her.

"As you said, there is more than enough food and water, but I still feel like it is not enough."

I couldn't bear to tell the truth and told lies.

That's because I feel like this is enough, so I wonder if I can take a break for a while.

Nevertheless, why do we keep going out of the house and airlifting food and water?

Actually, I didn't leave the house for food and water.

It just moves for its original purpose and brings food and water as a bonus, but it is not its real goal.

My real goal is points. In other words, hunting zombies.

Today, I was on my way back after hunting as many as five zombies, bringing along three canned food and two bottles of mineral water as a bonus.

The last time I looked at the stats, the level was 5, strength was 20, stamina was 15, agility was 17, and magic power was still 10, showing tremendous growth.

Like this, the more I hunt zombies, the stronger I become due to the presence of the status window. Isn't it different from zombies?

Even though I have achieved tremendous growth, a deformed zombie that I cannot overcome may come alive somewhere.

Or maybe there is someone who has a status window similar to mine.

I don't even know if that person is a good person or a bad person.

Even though we know that the world has turned into zombies, we still have no way of knowing the details, so we can't stay at home carefree just because we have some food or water.

So, this means that you need to prepare in advance.

To protect my body and Seo-ah.

Even though most zombies are no longer my opponent unless I form a group and attack them all at once, I couldn't bear to tell Seo-ah that I was going to hunt zombies and collect points.

So I just lied and said I was just going out to get food and water.

"So, can't you understand?"

It's a matter of survival.

Even though I was saying this, I couldn't say no, so I moistened her eyes and buried her face in my chest.

Her slender body her she was trembling as she was held in his arms her her her.

"I'm sorry… For making you carry the burden alone…"

She was so resentful of herself that she couldn't be of any help.

And when she apologized for seeming to have put all of her burden on me, I smiled and shook my head.

"It's okay. Seoya."

He said, gently embracing her trembling body.

"I'm doing it because I want to, so it's really okay."

He continued speaking while rubbing his back her.

"Ugh… Black… !"

In the end, Seo-ah burst into tears.

"Why… On earth… Why has the world changed like this… ?"

I thought zombies were monsters that only existed in creative works, but he was filled with resentment and asked why on earth such a monster had appeared in reality and was making it so hard for him and me.

"Zombie… If it weren't for the zombies, we would have been preparing for the entrance ceremony by now. We might have met at school some time later and become inseparable friends…!"

As she said, they may have really become friends since they are in the same school and department.

But I think the chances of us becoming friends are very slim.

Could it be possible for me, who comes from the worst family and has an ordinary appearance, to become friends with Seo-ah, who has everything from a house to a home and looks to everything?

The truth is that if there is another world where the zombie apocalypse does not occur, we may never know.

"That's right."

I bitterly smiled and sympathized with her anger.
