37

There was no more business to see here.

So, as I was about to return home, someone quickly ran over and blocked my path.

And then.

"Oh, brother!"

"Oppa… ? Ah…"

I was momentarily taken aback when he suddenly called me oppa.

That's because in the 19 years of his life, he has never once been called oppa by anyone.

Anyway, the woman who stopped in front of me was wearing a tattered high school uniform with no other clothes on. Even though I couldn't tell her her exact age, I could tell that she was younger than me.

However, unlike the woman who blocked my path, the sight of her blushing and fidgeting when she caught my gaze was very strange.

Why did you stop in front of me and why did you call me?

Only this high school girl knows the answer to this, but she doesn't say anything, so she feels a little frustrated.

"What's going on?"

So, when I asked her first, she reacted with a startled response.

"Well, that's it. Oh, brother… Could it be possible for you to take me too?"

"…"

I saw you for the first time today, and I don't know what you believe and why you're trying to follow me.

Even if I had allowed it in the first place, the distance from here to home was both long and close.

If I just walked, I might get there in 10 minutes, but if I had to ride the building to get there, it would take much more time and it would be difficult.

So, I wonder if she, an ordinary high school girl, can actually follow me, let alone follow me closely.

"I'm sorry, but no."

Even though she has as pretty an appearance and a voluptuous body as Seo-ah, she had to be careful no matter how pretty and pure she looked as the world had turned into an apocalypse.

Above all, there is no way Seo-ah would happily accept this girl.

It won't happen to Seo-ah, but in a way, she's cheating, so she might get jealous and get upset that he brought a pretty girl.

Above all, I have no choice but to flatly refuse because I plan to earn points by hunting zombies rather than heading home right away.

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn't make sense for her to hunt zombies with her, who, as crazy as she was, had no abilities and was just an ordinary high school girl except for her unusually pretty appearance of Her.

"Why, why… ?"

He clearly looks very disappointed.

Because I look like a gangster, I somehow felt sorry for all the ridiculous requests.

"Aren't I pretty? I'm okay with you having a girlfriend…! I'll be satisfied with the second one…!"

He didn't seem to have a crush on me, but he seemed to have a crush on me.

So, what I'm saying is that they realize that they can get something from me and stick with me persistently. I couldn't even guess what it was.

I don't think they'll tell you right away if you ask.

It is clear that having a meaningless conversation like this will only be a waste of time.

"I'm sorry, but that still doesn't work."

I declined once again and passed by her.

After being rejected not once but twice, he stopped making a fuss and blocking my way.

The more I walked, the smaller her back slowly became, and then it disappeared completely, and only then did I let out a deep sigh.

Even though I was a minor, my heart was still pounding because it was the first time, other than Seo-ah, that such a pretty girl showed interest in me.

I shook off her head and completely erased all thoughts of her.

After erasing useless thoughts and returning to reality, I left the station and immediately looked around.

There were still many zombies wandering around.

Even so, as soon as he sees me, a living human being, he will definitely scream and run at me as if he has never done that before.

I wanted to make a fuss and make zombies gather, then hunt them down one by one and turn them into points.

However, there is a large building visible across the street. The fact that there was a large mutated zombie inside a large supermarket kept bothering me.

It was a whopping 4m long and the sword was completely impervious to it…

A knife and a gun are completely different.

However, even if there were no scratches on the knife, the possibility that the gun would not work could not be completely ruled out.

I may have been the same species as the mutant zombie I saw before, but I wasn't stupid enough to recklessly fight a mutant zombie with an unconfirmed and unique appearance.

Even if we fight, we must obtain at least some information.

For example, which weapons work well.

If you can inflict damage with a gun, invest all your points into gun skills. If guns don't work, invest all of your points into sword skills.

Only then will you be able to eliminate the point loss.

Therefore, unless they could get information about the mutant zombies, the zombies around here got greedy and decided not to touch them.

I know the dangers of mutated zombies better than anyone else, so it was best to avoid touching the zombies around the mart and irritating the mutated zombies inside the mart as much as possible.

However, if you are lucky enough to catch a mutated zombie and see that the store is open, if you somehow succeed in hunting this time, they may give you a huge amount of points or give you a suitable perk for beating the achievement again.

If I was alone, or if there was no one at the station, I might have made a reckless attempt to get points by throwing grenades at a place where zombies were gathered in the distance.

I was no longer single, and I turned around, thinking of Seo-ah, who was left home alone and anxiously waiting for me, praying for my safe return today, and deciding not to do anything reckless enough to put my life in danger for the time being.

*

Time passed really quickly.

In the meantime, I never went near the subway station where the group of survivors like Seo-ah and I, who had not turned into zombies but were still human and struggling to get through the destroyed world, stayed.

This was to avoid accidentally touching something incorrectly and irritating the mutated zombies inside the supermarket.

In the absence of certain information, I did not go near it because I thought that if I provoked it into a fight, it could cause harm not only to me but also to the survivors.

So, I went around other areas and caught regular zombies and collected as many points as possible.

Like that.

[Jaewon Han

Level: 17

Strength: 30 Stamina: 25 Agility: 25 Magic: 15

(Skill)

Points held +944]

The level was 17, and there were a whopping 944 points.

I couldn't even count the number of zombies I caught just to go up 2 levels from level 15 to 17.

Considering the existing 25 points and the level-up reward, it was equivalent to hunting 800 animals.

The reason this was possible was because, without the variable called mutant zombies, regular zombies that can be seen anywhere at any time could be easily hunted without having to spend points right away.

Rather, as the days go by, the zombies' attack patterns and behavior patterns, and the more I use the sword, the more skilled I become, so there was no need to spend points to raise my abilities.

Also, perhaps due to the existence of mutated zombies, the status window was filled with points without having to use them in case of an emergency.

If he had just written it without thinking, he might have been angry, but since the status window took care of itself without my intervention, he came across as a trustworthy partner.

Anyway, I left home early this morning and, as I was earning points, I leaned back against the wall, wiping the cold sweat off my forehead.

"Whoa…"

I sighed deeply as I looked at the blade covered in black blood.

I couldn't live like this forever.

Not surprisingly, he boasted 1 billion points, raising questions about whether he could actually earn the price of the most expensive skill that could be purchased at the store.

The skill was marked with ?, Without even a description, let alone a name, but there is no way a skill worth a whopping 1 billion points would be absolutely useless.

Since there is no name or explanation, I can only guess, but in my opinion, it seemed like an essential skill to rebuild a world destroyed by zombies, or a skill that would help people live in a destroyed world without any worries.

Otherwise, there was no way it could boast of a ridiculous price compared to other skills, and there was no reason to even hide its name.

If I were to explain it roughly in terms of a game, it would be the ending.

To purchase such a skill, you must hunt 1 billion regular zombies.

Even if you get extra as a level-up reward, even if you hit a lot, it's 900 million? 950 million?

I still have to catch a ridiculous number of zombies, but will I be able to kill nearly 1 billion zombies by myself?

"If you don't catch the mutant zombies…"

The status window… The world turned into zombies has established a system in which it is impossible to survive by only catching regular zombies.

It means that whether you like it or not, you are forced to go on an adventure that could lead to your death.

Not long after I realized that fact, I grabbed my forehead, which was throbbing and hurting.

It would be great if she could just have sex and get points like she lied to Seo-ah.

I looked out the window, contemplating the meaningless wind.

Unlike the world that had changed like this, the warm sun was shining and the wind was blowing gently.

Meanwhile, the movement of the zombies was unusual.
