Noh Chang-hoon did not oversleep.

He must have just thought it was the right time, and he suddenly stood up.

I raised my hand and waved.

“Were you watching?”

“I was watching. He slept well.”

“Thanks to someone.”

Noh Chang-hoon rolled his eyes.

I avoided answering. Fortunately, Noh Chang-hoon quickly brought up another topic.

“I thought something would come, but luckily no zombies came.”

“Oh, that’s right? Honestly, I thought there would be a nocturnal variant.”

“Kang Si-woo may have tried. Or maybe he really didn’t come.”

“No matter what happens, isn’t it a good thing?”

“It’s not such a good thing. Let’s eat quickly and go out.”

“Yes.”

I got up from my seat and slipped through the gap in the barricade.

And then I went down to meet Kang Si-woo.

Kang Si-woo was sitting on a chair with his arms crossed.

It seemed like he wanted to save a little bit of stamina, so he just did that even when he wasn’t sleepy.

I made loud footsteps on purpose.

“Good day, Yeji. Did you have a good night last night?”

“Yes. Nothing special happened, right?”

“Yes. Fortunately, there was no attack or anything like that.”

“Changhoon said we should have breakfast. What’s on the menu today?”

“It’s always the same. That’s where the ingredients I brought are from.”

“Ah, I still expected a little.”

“There are only a handful of cases like that restaurant. I just got really lucky.”

Kang Si-woo smiled kindly.

I nodded obediently.

I didn’t say it with high expectations anyway.

Since the situation was not favorable, it was better to move on quickly in this case.

But looking at Kang Si-woo’s expression, it seemed like he had one more secret food.

I smiled sinisterly and demanded with my eyes to know what it was.

“Juice.”

“Juice… ?”

“Do you not like it?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Juice in this situation, something made me laugh.

In the past, I wouldn’t have even thought of it as a special food.

It was very mysterious because it became a special food in this situation.

Moreover, it was not a large 1.5L PET bottle, but a small 500mL PET bottle at most.

Of course, this was also a blessing.

I joked, recalling a scene I once saw on campus.

“It would have been better if it had been alcohol, ahaha… Joke.”

It was only a moment, but Kang Si-woo’s expression was truly scary.

It was a reaction to hearing something that should never have happened.

Although Kang Si-woo immediately relaxed his expression, the awkward atmosphere did not resolve until Noh Chang-hoon arrived.

To be honest, I made a bad joke.

You can’t get drunk when you’re here to catch Viscount.

I could drink it at any time later when the situation was over, so I thought I could drink it with Noh Chang-hoon then.

“But what juice? If I had space to pack these things, I thought I would bring water.”

“I said I would take care of it. One last drink, same feeling.”

“I thought you would bring alcohol, but I’m surprised?”

“Are you going to make me drink alcohol because I’m crazy?”

“Even if Changhoon had asked me to drink, I would have refused. That’s nonsense.”

“Ah, sorry. It’s my fault. Let’s eat something.”

In response to the two men’s coordinated attack, I had to raise both hands.

Fortunately, neither of them said more about alcohol.

And the breakfast was delicious as usual.

Although it was mostly snacks and canned food, it was still okay.

I was very fortunate that I brought a variety of canned food when I brought food with me last time.

If things continued like this, I would probably be able to eat the canned food even after killing Viscount.

If there had been a slight lack of food, I would have had to chew hard energy bars or chocolate the entire way back.

“Shall we drink it slowly?”

Kang Si-woo said, taking out a paper cup.

I nodded. I thought I could quickly empty the glass and clean up after myself.

So the three of us shared some orange juice and drank it.

It tastes like juice, whatever. It was just as I remembered.

It tastes a little sweeter than orange.

After I finished cleaning up, I had a feeling that today would be the same as the past few days.

But that wasn’t it. I swallowed hard and looked around.

The road was full of zombies.

The number was in the hundreds, if not more, and the types were very diverse.

But the zombies didn’t attack us.

He just stood blankly on the side of the road, as if giving directions.

It seemed like they were saying that we just had to go here, so I got goosebumps for a moment.

It seemed like it reminded me of something that happened in the West.

Unfortunately, we had no other options.

I don’t know why, but not having to fight zombies was a benefit.

And because Kang Si-woo had told me that that was the shortest route, I couldn’t avoid it.

I thought for a moment. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t erase the feeling that it was a trap.

Perhaps because he was aware of me, Kang Si-woo spoke slowly.

“I have no choice but to go in anyway. I already knew.”

“What, I asked you to have juice then… ?”

“You said one last drink. That feeling.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I think you might feel burdened for no reason. Now, let’s walk forward.”

“Well, yeah… ”

My body heated up quite a bit.

It was worth it. Even if no action is taken, there are a huge number of variants.

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any very strong variants.

I sighed and started walking down the street.

And so the strange march began.

The zombies showed no movement on the roadside.

As if trying to ease my nerves, Kang Si-woo explained about the zombies seen on the side of the road.

What kind of variant is this variant, and what kind of variant is that variant?

Well, they were talking excitedly like they were at the zoo.

In the middle, Noh Chang-hoon seemed anxious and joined in the story.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere itself was quite bright.

But that atmosphere didn’t last long.

I took a deep breath. My body felt hot, like I was in a sauna.

Before I knew it, the temperature around me was rising.

Since Viscount was nearby, it was clear that his body was getting hotter as he got closer.

I’m sure you think you could be on the verge of death.

Still, there was one fortunate thing.

It wasn’t that scary anymore.

If it had been before, I probably would have been scared and trembled.

I was very fortunate about that one thing.

Now that I know that Viscount is an opponent I can fight.

I told Noh Chang-hoon.

“I remember our old days. When you catch the Baron.”

“You were so lazy back then.”

“… I didn’t cry. It’s just that my body got hot like this even then.”

“I thought it was summer.”

“Is it that much?”

“Yes.”

“It will soon be cool again.”

I slowly adjusted the baton and held it.

In the park in front of me, a zombie with blue-gray skin was standing as if he had been waiting.

Except for the fact that he was bald, it could be said to be perfect fashion.

He was tall, a little over 2 meters tall, and dressed in a black suit.

He was even wearing shoes, so it was quite a sight to see.

Count Viscount relaxed his hands.

And he grinned, as if he had been waiting for us to arrive.

Kang Si-woo evaluated this while watching the Viscount.

“It’s a pretty strong Viscount. It may be dangerous.”

“What do you think will happen?”

“Are you worried? But it’s okay. Because what Yeji thinks won’t happen.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I think I can kill Viscount and escape.”

I grabbed my headset.

I roughly put down the headset that was hanging around my neck and adjusted my grip on the baton.

Noh Chang-hoon smiled while looking at that.

Then he slowly took off his top and put his clothes in his bag.

Honestly, I didn’t think it was a big deal, but it wasn’t.

Noh Chang-hoon’s body expanded nearly 1.5 times.

It was all red and steamy, so I knew it was going to be a proper fight.

Kang Si-woo just adjusted his sword.

However, looking at the profusion of blood vessels, it was clear that he had probably pushed his physical capabilities to the limit.

It was really sad that I was the only one here without any dopers, but I couldn’t help it.

Count Viscount looked at us and said.

“Let’s play without luggage. Then you too can fight better.”

We were surprised.

Because I had no idea that he already had this level of intelligence.

But I didn’t think there was any need to refuse, so I took the bag to a nearby pavilion and left it there.

On the other hand, Noh Chang-hoon and Kang Si-woo did not put down their bags.

I avoided their gaze and lowered my head.

Count Vis smiled with satisfaction.

“Let’s play.”

And in an instant, he rushed forward.

I opened my mouth blankly. I didn’t really realize what had happened a moment ago.

I knew it was coming towards me, but I couldn’t see what it was doing.

Fortunately, Noh Chang-hoon intervened just in time.

With a sound of tearing the air, a threatening fist was aimed at Viscount.

Viscount crossed his arms and blocked his fist.

A pop was heard and something exploded.

The wind pressure generated during the collision swept the surrounding area.

And as if he had been waiting, Kang Si-woo’s new form became blurred.

At the same time, blood spurted out from all over Biscount’s body.

Viscount, whose limbs were cut to pieces in an instant, took a few steps back.

But that didn’t last long.

Viscount, who had completely regenerated his limbs, threw a punch.

I ran in front of Noh Chang-hoon and blocked his fist with my baton.

I felt quite a strong force. The hand holding the baton trembled, and the sound of something crunching was also heard.

But it didn’t stop. I have to endure one attack because someone else will have the opportunity to attack.

Count Vis laughed, dodging Noh Chang-hoon’s fist as if it was fun.

I also smiled. The battle has now begun.
