And as a few more days passed, the threat began to feel real.

Viscount, who had been carefully rallying the surrounding zombies and driving out the survivors, began his advance.

As for how close we got, it felt like we had eaten about half of Busan.

While Geumjeong-gu and Buk-gu were used as bases, it seemed that Dongrae-gu and Busanjin-gu were also used.

Looking at what Kim Yeon-hwa said about her scouting trip to Sasang-gu and Baek Hospital, it seemed certain.

I couldn’t put off my plan now.

Because soldiers from other military units that were in contact at the time had evacuated to the military base, there was no need to worry about the remaining manpower.

So all that was left was to really attack and cut off Viscount’s head.

The plan was already made.

Move from Seunghak Campus to Silla University. Afterwards, rest in the campus building.

And they were marching towards Pusan National University, which was presumed to be Viscount’s base.

… It’s not trustworthy that there are only three people marching, but whatever.

“For us, it’s 100 won per day!”

Kang Si-woo and Noh Chang-hoon looked pitiful at the same time, but I didn’t care.

There are as many as three people who can be said to be the strongest of each faction.

So unless something special happened, no variant could defeat us.

As for Viscount, well. You’ll have to fight it yourself to find out.

“But, do you really want to go on that ride?”

“Yes. sure. Because you’ve already tried it once, right?”

Kang Si-woo smiled.

It seemed like he was going to keep wearing those weird inline skates.

They said there was no reason to refuse since you can run faster with less effort…

To be honest, I didn’t like the appearance, but I also agreed that a role like that was necessary.

What was judged to be important in this expedition was stability rather than mobility.

It was okay to use red clay or other means of transportation.

We can ease the burden on ourselves by loading that means of transportation…

Above all, it can be used as a barricade if necessary.

But because of my experiences in the West, transportation wasn’t a very good option.

It has been proven that zombies are now intelligent and can block an area.

It’s important to attack quickly, but there’s no need to waste your energy when surrounded by zombies.

That was what was decided at the last meeting.

So, I had to walk or run without getting stuck for a long time, and Noh Chang-hoon also decided to leave the bike he had ridden all the way here alone.

Therefore, there was a need for a role that could quickly scout the surroundings with such a small amount of force.

But I don’t want to leave everything to those weird inline skates…

“Ah, I don’t know. I’ve left, so what can I do?”

Since we had already walked for tens of minutes, I couldn’t ask them to take off their clothes.

And to actively take it off and come…

That’s what happened last time, and it’s been a good ride so far.

Even though I was skeptical, it was still a moment I had no choice but to believe.

I can’t help but think that I’ll take care of it.

Still, the route wasn’t that inconvenient.

I was getting nervous because I heard that zombies were slowly appearing in Sasang-gu, but now I couldn’t see anything.

There are signs that a battle took place or ended…

I didn’t think I would have to worry about zombies appearing for the time being.

I said, trying to be optimistic.

“If I do this, I think I’ll be able to get to Silla University okay?”

“Maybe.”

“I hope so.”

“En? What?”

Kang Si-woo slowly pulled out his sword.

Noh Chang-hoon also adjusted the knuckles that he said were newly made.

Only then did I realize the situation and raised my baton.

It seemed like it was probably an attack by zombies.

The question then was whether to be organized or not.

Zombie attacks were usually divided into two types.

One thing is just hundreds of regular zombies randomly walking around in groups.

And the other thing was to move together with several mutants under the command of an intelligent mutant.

“I’ll clean up after myself!”

“Yes!”

Seeing Kang Si-woo speak like that, it was clear that it was probably an organized attack.

I hit the head of the zombie that suddenly popped out from the side, then looked around.

Now that I see it, only annoying variants are coming out.

Even so, the Poisoner that Kang Si-woo went to kill was like that.

The positions varied from hunters to trappers.

It seems like there’s even a toad in the canon fender…

“Evil! I really hate those bastards!”

He knocked down several spheres flying towards Noh Chang-hoon, then ran straight ahead and swung his baton widely.

While I was kicking Todd, Noh Chang-hoon started a power battle with Cannon Fender.

After seeing Noh Chang-hoon, whose whole body was red, stop the charging cannon fender and then explode it, I left the place.

There was no need to mess with the Todds, who had become half-assholes.

Now I have to take care of tanking against witches and trappers.

At that moment, Kang Si-woo seemed to be coming back after defeating all the Poisoners.

“Only one there!”

“Okay.”

Kang Si-woo, who came running with a whooshing sound, kicked the witch in the head with his toe.

The head where it had been pierced by the awl for a moment and then blown away exploded.

I looked at the scene blankly for a moment, then bent down to avoid the trapper’s sphere.

Seeing the corpse of a nearby zombie burning, I didn’t think anything good would come of being hit by that.

I looked at Kang Si-woo.

What I meant was that I would somehow block the trapper’s sphere, so it was up to you to handle it.

“Oh.”

But there was no need for that.

Kang Si-woo flew around wearing inline skates.

Kang Si-woo, who stepped on several cars around him and jumped, calmly swung his sword.

The hunter’s limbs flew into the sky as he rushed to protect the trapper.

And the end came with Kang Si-woo, who deflected the trapper’s ball that flew in front of him with a sharp edge.

I opened my mouth in a daze, and only came to my senses when I saw Trapper’s head fall to the ground.

It was so crazy that I almost forgot that I was bitten by a zombie.

After finishing off the zombies, I watched the others catch their breath.

To be honest, the three of us rarely worked together, so if we made a mistake, we could only interfere with each other.

But now, it seemed like everyone was doing everything on their own.

Quick-footed Kang Si-woo takes care of the aggressive variants in the rear.

Noh Chang-hoon kills the enemy variant that acts as a tank, and in the meantime, I endure the remaining attacks.

I held back laughter as I watched Kang Si-woo take off his inline skates and throw them near the electric pole.

Although it was said that it could be used well, it seemed that the performance was below expectations.

Kang Si-woo hesitated for a moment, looking at the two of us.

And he said without changing his face at all.

“Romance, it was.”

“Sigh.”

“Don’t laugh, Yeji.”

“But what should I do about it being funny? Ugh, it’s okay! Because everyone has a certain romance. however… Are you okay?”

“It’s not okay.”

That was a little surprising.

First, I took out a lighter and, along with Noh Chang-hoon, started burning the bodies around us.

Meanwhile, he also asked for an explanation with his eyes.

Honestly, it seemed like all three of us had a good fight a little while ago.

Should I say that there are no flaws?

But Kang Si-woo didn’t seem to think so.

“It might be okay the first few times, but if you keep fighting like this, you won’t be able to catch Viscount.”

“En? Why?”

“Yeji, your stamina is at an extraordinary level, so you will be able to hold out. But Changhoon and I are different.”

“Have you forgotten what happened in Jangyu? You acted as a meat shield while I cooled down from my fever.”

“… Ah!”

“Furthermore, if organized raids continue like today, the probability will gradually decrease.”

Of course, neither of them showed it to the extent of showing it, but it was clear that they were a little tired from the battle a while ago.

Is there a difference between simply killing several regular zombies and dealing with well-organized mutants?

If this were to happen, it would have been better to avoid battle as much as possible.

I didn’t have to worry.

How on earth does this body work? I often wonder that I am not even human.

Even if you destroy all the zombies you encounter, you will probably be able to face Viscount without any problems.

“The problem is that there are two of you. Umm… ”

I had quite a lot to worry about.

First of all, I knew it because I experienced it in the West.

It was clear that the place where Count Viscount was located was fortified.

And even more zombies than now will face us.

So it was obvious that variants with even greater combinations would pop up there.

However, if things were to be blocked like this here too, it was clear that one of the two would be seriously injured once they entered Buk-gu.

It was a serious challenge that made them wonder if they should change their strategy even now, but the two didn’t seem to think about it that much.

I asked because I couldn’t understand it.

“Shouldn’t we revise the strategy now? Unlike me, you two don’t get better quickly when you get hurt.”

“I recover relatively slower than you.”

“Of course it is, but we have you.”

“Me? Why??”

“You’re the only one around here with a body odor like yours.”

“Ah.”

Only then did I understand.

The reason Biscount didn’t come down early in the first place was because of me.

Because I defeated the zombies sent by Count Viscount, the advance was delayed for a while.

“Wait a minute, doesn’t that mean Viscount detects my body odor in advance?”

“Rather, it means using it to move forward. If someone as strong as Yeji comes, you’ll want to capture him.”

“Yes, right?”

“Capturing them is relatively difficult, so they will definitely dig a trap and wait.”

“Aha?”

“Then we just have to avoid the trap and rush to the Viscount.”

After hearing something, it seemed plausible.

Surely Kang Si-woo would know what the zombies are after.

Yeah, whatever. I feel a little offended that you are using me, but you are my friend.

Since my friend would never put me in danger, I felt like I could trust him.
