There were no zombies in the apartment.

This may be natural given the nature of this zombie apocalypse where there was no first infected person and everyone was infected.

Still, I couldn’t say that there would be no survivors who were lucky enough to get out of the house and die.

Even if you can’t, it’s not awkward at all if there are three or four of them outside.

However, I didn’t even see a zombie snub the whole way up to the 11th floor.

Well, it was actually a good thing.

There is no way the elevator would work in this situation, so no matter what, you have to walk up the stairs.

Of course, if you accidentally encounter a zombie on a narrow and steep staircase, you are likely to get seriously injured.

It would have been nice to just be lucky that we had come up without a fight.

Even though the situation was serious, you couldn’t stop the corners of your mouth from rising?

So I smiled and ran up the stairs.

And just as I turned the corner, a zombie turned around.

It was a middle-aged female zombie who looked to be in her 50s or 60s, and she tried to kill her with a baton.

Well, you don’t know, right? Because it could be Kang Seong-hwa’s mother.

So I gave up my arm, prepared to get bitten at least once.

But Seonghwa Kang suddenly hit the zombie’s head.

“Not family.”

“Ah… Really?”

“This is the lady who lives next door. I only knew the face… ”

“… Well, everything in human life is like that. You don’t know what’s going to happen, right? however… ”

“Ah.”

Naturally, my gaze turned towards the door lock.

Normally, I would have just told him to open the door without even thinking about it.

But even though the door lock operates on a battery, it has been left unattended for nearly two months now.

It seemed unlikely that the door lock would work properly in this situation.

So, should we use violence?

“Open.”

“Huh?”

“The door lock is good, so it lasts for several months without changing the battery.”

“Ah, ah. Really?”

“Let’s go in.”

Seonghwa Kang’s house was very spacious.

It can’t even be compared to the officetel I used to live in.

No, it’s an apartment so it’s spacious?

That being said, I think it’s a bit bigger than my original house.

Anyway, it wasn’t that important, so I looked around with Kang Seonghwa.

First of all, fortunately, there were no traces of anyone.

No zombies popped out, and there were no corpses inside.

As if someone had been away from home for a long time, only a trail of dust had accumulated.

Seonghwa Kang walked around like a person possessed by a ghost.

Then, as if I had discovered something, I suddenly looked at the refrigerator.

“Here, there is a note… !”

“Uh, uh. Read.”

Kang Seong-hwa, who had been reading the note for a while, handed it to me with watery eyes.

Since you’ve come this far, I think you should read it.

So I took a look and saw that there were a few lines written in neat handwriting.

There is a military base near Haeundae, Busan, and my father’s friend called me to go there.

As I was leaving, my family and my father were going together, and it seemed like they were telling us to come to Haeundae when we get home later.

So, first of all, the probability that Kang Seong-hwa’s family is alive is high.

Once you get into the military base, it’s pretty easy to survive.

They say that the variants that have been around for a while can stop bullets, but it’s only been two months at most now.

“Lieutenant General Park Hak-cheol… What?”

More than that, I thought I had seen the name written on the note somewhere, so I thought about it when I looked again.

Lieutenant General Park Hak-cheol was a person who was treated as quite important in the original work.

He was a true soldier, and when the situation broke out, he quickly rallied the soldiers and tried to establish a base in Busan.

I remembered it quickly because I had a conversation with Kang Si-woo back then.

“He is my father’s friend. You are a rare soldier among soldiers.”

“Uh, I thought I heard about it. Who heard it from… ?”

Let’s lay the groundwork.

I knew it instinctively.

This is a different rope from Kang Si-woo.

Anyway, Kang Si-woo is full of thoughts of contacting the military, right?

Isn’t that why Noh Chang-hoon went to Haeundae?

I just wanted to make a line there, and it worked out well.

Letting Captain Han escape might not have been enough.

So I quickly pretended I didn’t know anything and gave a stupid smile.

Of course, Seonghwa Kang took the bait and asked how he knew.

It was as I thought up to this point, he continued calmly.

“Did you hear that I came from Jangyu?”

“Ah, yes.”

“I met a captain there? At that time, I acted as bait to let the captain escape.”

“I wonder if the captain’s name is… ?”

“The name is unique, so I remember it. It was Captain Han.”

“Ah, I know someone. My name often came up when I was talking with my father and his friend.”

“Okay, what about me? Saved that person’s life… We talked a little bit.”

“Bait… ”

Contrary to what I expected, the expression Kang Seong-hwa was looking at me was strange.

Definitely what I want.

So, I thought you were going to help me make connections?

You’ll say something to your father later, huh?

I thought you would do it that way.

If you look like you’re moved as if you’re seeing a saint, something doesn’t seem right… ?

Well, I don’t know about him.

I’ve always been a person who took advantage of other people’s favor and pulled out the flippers because I didn’t know myself…

This means that he is a broken person in some way.

Of course, there was no way I would be treated like this, but it felt a little strange when I did.

But I felt like it would break the mood if I said it myself, so I kept my mouth shut.

Of course, I wasn’t going to keep my mouth shut at all.

Other students will worry if you spend too much time, so you should wait a while and then go back.

So, when the time came, I went to talk, but Kang Seong-hwa opened his mouth and asked to go first.

“Thank you, Yeji.”

“That’s it. Give me something to eat later or a headset.”

“Yes.”

It was a pleasant reconnaissance in which nothing was lost and only things were gained.

Later, as I talked to Kang Si-woo and thought about the compliments he received, I felt a surge of strength in my body.

How about something as trivial as this? They say you have to be successful to become a favored subordinate.

You can’t ask for it outright, but if you ask him to give you a few, he’ll give it to you.

Burning off the happiness circuit like that, I returned to where Kim Yeon-hwa was.

Fortunately, I didn’t see any zombies as I went.

I was a little hot and cautious, but nothing happened until I entered the building.

So now we had to think about how to take these survivors.

There are about twenty survivors. Among them, there are at most three who can fight.

And we currently have six.

Just by simple calculation, one person has to take responsibility for three people.

There was no way I could return to campus after walking for about two hours like that… There isn’t any.

“Of course, I have to go and come back.”

“Yes?”

“Yeonhwa. I’ll go to your campus, explain the situation, and ask for reinforcements.”

“Ah, yes. Actually, I was worried too. There are too many people.”

“Yes. There’s nothing we can’t do if we overdo it, but let’s go safely.”

“Yes.”

A short meeting was held in an instant.

The point was simple. How will I survive while I go to and from campus?

This was the conclusion reached after a short meeting.

Kang Seong-hwa, who had gone out scouting earlier, rested at the dojo to recover his stamina.

Lee A-young also rests at the dojo in case of emergency.

The plan was for the remaining people, Kim Yeon-hwa’s father, and I to completely rob the surrounding buildings.

All you have to do is put the food in the cart and return.

There would be enough food to simply survive for two hours, but there is a process to everything.

Let’s say Si-Woo Kang expands the rescue team to rescue all survivors.

Then, shouldn’t we have to calculate the materials and manpower that come with it again?

No matter how good Professor Chang-Hoon Jeong and Si-Woo Kang are at making such calculations…

Even if I couldn’t do it, it was nice to make up my mind to sleep here for at least a day.

And there was no food for twenty people in this dojo to last a day.

At most, it’s just one meal.

Moreover, we had no means of transportation.

So, this means that all 20 people would have to walk for about two hours.

If there was a means of transportation, survivors would have to eat less.

However, since I had to walk, I had to eat at least two full meals.

So I had to sweat for a while to calculate that amount.

However, I didn’t think it would be that big of a problem.

Since we had food with us, it seemed like all we had to do was rob one or two convenience stores.

“Then let’s move!”

I’m not the type of person who thinks too complicatedly anyway.

It didn’t seem like there would be a solution just because everyone was sitting in the building and trying to wrap their heads around it.

So, I thought it would be best to just attack it and then think about it, so I wrapped the baton around my shoulder.

“There is a convenience store near here, student. I was in a hurry so I could only shave half of it… ”

“Oh, over there?”

“Yes. Over there.”

If zombies appeared, I would have barely had to pull the body out, but I was lucky.

There were no zombies in sight while pulling the cart to the convenience store.

It seemed like I was benefiting greatly from the secretions stored in my breastbone.

I don’t remember all the effects…

It was probably the effect of chasing away zombies that were weaker than me.

Anyway, I smashed the entrance by hitting it with a baton and entered the convenience store.
