It really wasn’t a fight you couldn’t win, right?

If Kang Si-woo is skill, I am tenacity and strength.

All he had to do was hold on with his transcendental regenerative power and aim for Kang Si-woo when he saw an opening.

But no matter how hard I swung my fist, my fist did not hit Kang Si-woo.

Rather, every time I swung, I was lightly counterattacked and had to roll on the mat.

After being beaten like that for about an hour, I just didn’t feel like doing it.

What about each other? It’s only fun if you have tiki-taka.

It’s kind of fun if I hit him and he gets hit too, but I always end up getting hit.

Of course, that couldn’t have been fun, and the area where I got hit was so painful that it was difficult to move.

He hit me with all his heart because he knew I had good regenerative abilities.

“Still, your skills have improved a lot.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“It’s real. At least the body blow is top-notch.”

“Of course. Because I’ve been beaten so hard all this time.”

“But you can’t do river blow? Usually, if you are good at body blowing, you will also be good at river blowing.”

“River, what?”

“River blow. A body blow is performed with the left hand.”

“… Then isn’t it just body blow?”

It means hitting your stomach really hard anyway.

Until he spits out gastric juices and groans, dragging himself on the floor.

Then I just thought there wasn’t much of a difference.

So I told him to hit it gently once.

I’m used to getting hit, and since I asked them to apply less force than before, I think it’ll be worth it.

“… You are ignorant.”

“No, you have to see it yourself to find out, right? People who have tried it are also good at cooking, right?”

“Then, let’s go.”

“… !”

Kang Si-woo’s fist got stuck in his right abdomen.

Normally, I could have endured this much pain with my teeth clenched.

However, for some reason, it was very painful, as if my torso had been hit with a strong sledgehammer.

Did you suddenly lose strength in your legs and collapse on the floor?

No, I’m not the type of person who can’t tolerate pain very well.

“… Ah.”

“Yeji is so foolish.”

“No, that. I thought it didn’t hurt that much.”

“Please note that this technology is only effective on humans. Do not use on zombies.”

“En? Why?”

“You can’t feel pain.”

“Yes?”

I couldn’t understand.

Even normal zombies know that their bodies are damaged.

That was the case with the monster last time. I knew that if my fist collided with his fist, it would hurt.

That’s why you tried to deal with me by roaring like that.

At the point when zombies needed nutrients, they were already different from regular zombies.

So, it would be okay to call him a zombie that feels pain.

Obviously, about one out of ten of the zombies that got hit by me were in pain?

“To be precise, I just feel a dull pain as if I was under anesthesia.”

“… E?”

“There is no need to know where and how it was damaged. It’s just that much.”

“So, what about frowning?”

“Yeji, do you know that if you hit that knee with a rubber mallet, it reflexively lifts its leg?”

“Oh, I know that. ah! Reaction?”

“Yes. So, you shouldn’t like zombies too much just because they are suffering. Most of them are convulsions due to reaction.”

“Ah… ”

In the original, it was portrayed as if zombies felt pain and had emotions, perhaps for the sake of immersion.

Of course, it may have felt that way because it was from a first-person perspective, but it was very interesting because I learned new information.

And Kang Si-woo started teaching me various things after that.

If you hit your back hard, you will most likely die.

It is more effective to give a body blow with your left hand than to give a body blow with your right hand.

Did you say that the liver is more important than the stomach and that the right side of the abdomen should be protected?

These were surprising words to me, who woke up unharmed even when my ribs were broken and my organs were stabbed.

Everything was good up to this point.

Surprisingly, there was a lot to learn, and after a few more hours, I was able to vaguely take steps and dodge.

However, until now, Kang Si-woo had been lecturing on how to beat people with his fists.

As if I would be dealing with people instead of zombies from now on.

I wanted to just listen to the lecture and pretend I didn’t know anything…

I lied to Kang Si-woo that I had regressed.

So I couldn’t just sit still like this.

“It’s been about two months since the incident broke out, so you’re saying you want to deal with Yahweh’s paradise in advance?”

“Yes.”

“As expected, I knew that would happen. What about me? I guessed it from the time you taught how to kill people.”

“Because Yeji is strong. It’s equal to or better than mine.”

“Ah, this… Aren’t you raising it too much?”

The corners of my mouth went up automatically.

The main character of the novel is Kang Si-woo.

Even with 10 years of experience and a body in its prime in its 20s.

He declares that he’s on the same level as him, so there’s no way he wouldn’t like it.

Of course, it was obvious that if it stuck, it would hit me. If you’re Kang Si-woo, you’ll quickly find the weakness in my abilities.

To compare it to a game, Kang Si-woo is a close-range assassin based on basic attacks.

Based on Chezen, I am a bruiser whose damage increases as the amount of stamina lost increases.

Usually, in this situation, if the Assassin’s damage melts the bruiser in one go, the Assassin is sure to win.

However, if the Assassin’s extreme damage does not melt the bruiser, and the average damage is slightly different from the bruiser’s chess.

Then the assassin will definitely lose. I know because I play games at home all the time.

Even though the game and reality are different, this is obvious.

Unless I do something with my weapon, I cannot defeat Kang Si-woo even if I wake up from death.

If I don’t have a weapon, I just win.

If he was a boxer, I would have been here a long time ago.

One two jab jap jap. uh? If it weren’t for Karl, you said you would have gone on a reverse tour at Gudeok Campus?

“Your gaze is a little strange?”

“Oh, how could that be?”

“You can beat me… You seem to be thinking that, but it is a good posture.”

“… Yes?”

“From now on, practice your posture so that you can stab me to death.”

“Ah.”

“You have a habit of saying things you want to say to Noh Chang-hoon, right?”

Kang Si-woo scoffed.

In the past I would have been embarrassed, but not now.

Now I am Ultimate. I was confident that I could withstand being hit by Noh Chang-hoon.

So, I smiled confidently and changed the topic, saying that we should move on to the main topic.

You’ve just warned me that you’re being a little picky, so if you get any more picky from here, you’ll get a slap in the face.

“Wait a minute, the story went somewhere else. Anyway, Yeji has something to do for you.”

“What, are you telling me to go there and investigate the pseudo-religion?”

There weren’t that many places to investigate anyway.

All you have to do is go with Ayoung Lee and investigate the church near where Ayoung Lee lived.

Because Lee Ah-young went to a church in Nam-gu, Busan and was brainwashed into becoming a saint…

It was a matter that could be resolved by asking Lee Ah-young.

The zombies I met along the way were no longer a big threat to me.

So this mission seemed easier than I thought.

Opening up is my specialty.

“No, it’s a reconnaissance mission.”

“… Reconnaissance?”

“Detailed maps are needed to prepare for future rescue of survivors.”

I couldn’t understand what the hell they were talking about.

Because there was no need to scout.

The zombies here are not the zombies we usually think of.

Sometimes they move according to orders, or they hide and then make surprise attacks.

This means that you don’t just go around a certain area stupidly.

And even if you need a detailed map, all you have to do is rob the district office.

If not, how many people live here?

Just by asking those people, you could quickly figure out where zombies tend to gather.

So, it was clear that there was something else going on here.

I guess they’re asking to make a map because they want to hide that trickster.

“You would like to contact other groups of survivors, but you are a little reluctant, right?”

“Yes. There is currently no place that can be completely trusted.”

“So, we need someone to secretly contact the group of survivors and monitor their movements… ”

“There is a person right in front of me who is perfect for that job.”

Kang Si-woo smiled kindly.

First of all, I have so much to share that I can trust and entrust this kind of work to you.

There was definitely a lot to share.

Because we used to tell each other things we couldn’t tell others.

I couldn’t ignore him because he said I would definitely understand the importance of this matter.

So I nodded slowly and listened to another explanation.

“If you keep your mouth shut, there will be few people who will reject Yeji.”

“… Isn’t the premise a bit different?”

“Did I say something wrong?”

No, it’s not really wrong.

Still, I thought that if I said it a little more politely, it would make more sense.

In Apocalypse, appearance and body also become assets.

If you look at it objectively, I’m a pretty pretty girl right now, so I guess they’re asking me to use that to dig up some information.

I wanted to ask why you didn’t go.

At least I know how bad things are on this campus, so I’m going to go along.

“You don’t have to take it too seriously. If you feel uncomfortable, you can think of it as just having fun.”

“Was it such a light mission?”

“It’s just a mission to monitor the situation around here. It would be nice to think of riding a bicycle for half a day.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really. All you need to know is how to treat other survivors. Because I will do politics and things like that.”

Kang Si-woo smiled reassuringly.

But regardless of whether you smile confidently or not, wouldn’t it be easier to carry out at least a specific command?

So, even if I asked again, I was told to go to a place where there was a group of survivors.

Then there was always a place to go.

It’s been a while, so I’m going to enjoy a staycation in Haeundae.
