“What should I do, what should I do… ?”

After saying that, I trembled in surprise at the voice I let out.

What should I say? I didn’t know that I would already meet the second strongest zombie in the original.

And I didn’t expect our first meeting to be like this.

What can I say? I thought I would know for sure.

Like him, I had the ability to feel zombies.

This guy is dangerous.

If we fight now, we cannot guarantee victory or defeat.

Life and death cannot be guaranteed.

I felt like I could tell right away when I saw it.

There is a scene that often appears in creative works.

Just looking at it, the final boss is roaring, and everyone is watching and making up their minds.

I was thinking something like that.

No, I couldn’t help but think.

Because I have radar.

I knew for a long time where and what kind of zombies were there, so it was only natural.

“… Is this how it feels?”

Being anxious because you don’t know when a strong zombie will attack.

I honestly thought it would never happen, but I never thought it would happen like this.

There’s nothing you can do once you’re in Margrave’s territory.

The feeling of helplessness was so cold that my body naturally trembled.

There are no such thing as living zombies.

These plants already had means of excluding invaders.

And I was probably the only intruder in this city.

“… Okay, let’s say everything else is good.”

The most unbearable thing was not being able to benefit from the radar.

Yes, it has always been like that until now.

As long as it didn’t fall under the radar, it didn’t matter since it was a much weaker zombie than me.

If I got caught on the radar, all I had to do was worry about what to do from then on.

Not knowing where and when someone stronger than me might be hiding was stressful in itself.

Above all, I am the person who values my life the most.

“… Calm down, let’s do it.”

I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

On second thought, there was no need to worry too much.

Anyway, all the things here were plants.

Of course, if I come to my senses, I will be able to overcome the crisis.

The only thing that exceeds my expectations is something like a carnivorous plant.

No, it must be a man-eating plant.

Anyway, the fact that you have to come to your senses hasn’t changed.

Rather, I felt like I needed to come to my senses and get as much information as I could.

“But, is it okay to just do reconnaissance…? ?”

If it was a normal zombie force, they didn’t leave their territory very often.

They were going to wait in their area and look for survivors.

Then, when the supplies ran out, they would head somewhere else.

Here, materials meant all resources that could be utilized.

So, the zombie forces could be left alone to some extent.

It is quite difficult to become a land where life cannot grow at all.

And expanding its power was not that fast.

I don’t know if they know the importance of internal affairs, but they usually strengthen internal affairs.

But what can I say… It seemed different.

It’s a plant. Of course, there was no need to resolve internal affairs or anything like that.

Above all, the speed of expansion of power will be incredibly fast.

“Now that I think about it, last time… The area seems to be wider than what I saw.”

I sat down on the rooftop for a moment, rested my chin and thought.

When I was here before, I had no idea how long it took.

Still, one thing was certain. At that time, the situation was not this serious.

When I looked at it, all I could see was that there was a lot of moss in it.

“… I think this will be a bigger problem next time.”

It wouldn’t have mattered if this was just an ordinary zombie force.

However, this was the territory of the Margrave, a place that even the original author did not really know about.

Of course, it was clear that if left unattended, it would lead to a bigger problem.

Still, it was difficult to go back and ask for support.

“Getting information is a problem, but taking more time is also a problem.”

I grumbled and pulled out my hair.

The best thing was to stay here for a week, gather information, and then go back.

But I didn’t know if I would have time for that.

Even if the reconnaissance was completed within a week, it was obvious that it would take more time to devastate this place.

It would take at least dozens of people to clear out a place like this.

Of course, making such a plan would take a very long time.

As Noh Chang-hoon said, there is a shortage of manpower in Busan.

Besides, Busan will be busy getting supplies from Jangyu right now.

It will be difficult to recruit personnel for the next few days.

A small elite?

That was practically nonsense.

In order to capture Margrave as a small elite, three people had to come together.

me. Noh Chang-hoon. Siwoo Kang.

In fact, the three strongest people in Busan had no choice but to rush in.

Okay, how can you get to Noh Chang-hoon and me?

But Kang Si-woo was the most important, and there was no one to replace Kang Si-woo.

Unfortunately, Kang Si-woo was working in Jinju, so I couldn’t call him here.

They’re obviously working on reconstruction while mediating between various factions in Jinju.

But bringing him here was absurd.

However, bringing someone other than Kang Si-woo was also the same.

Nana Noh Chang-hoon could be replaced.

Meat shield, what could you do even if it meant taking more people?

However, there was no one who could attack as competently as Kang Si-woo.

There was no way I could run a raid without a main dealer.

“Business, people… Should I bring more… ?”

If I remember correctly, the saints said they had relatively nothing to do.

So, I thought it would be okay to bring him to a raid like this.

… However, it was strange to volunteer for something that put one’s life at risk.

“… What should I do?”

Taking even more time was dangerous.

Still, it was dangerous for me to be here alone.

So I thought it would be better to decide quickly here.

So, after thinking about it for a while, I just came to a conclusion.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to set the whole place on fire?”

These plants had the same characteristics as zombie viruses.

Of course, there will be plants here that can be said to be high-ranking varieties.

So all I had to do was go near the plant, set it on fire, and get out.

Materials? information?

It’s a necessary sacrifice.

Thinking like that really made me feel at ease.

There was no need to get information, just get the job done.

“There must be a gas station here.”

Unless the moss fills the gas tank, you will be able to get the oil somehow.

Even without that, there were many places to get oil.

There were many places to get alcohol. The point is that you can make a lot of Molotov cocktails.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to drink soju and light the other drinks?”

vodka. whiskey. Those things had such a high concentration of alcohol that it seemed like they would catch fire.

Or you could use thinner or something like that.

To be honest, there’s something I’ve wanted to try for a long time.

“You know that.”

I just took a few sips of alcohol in style.

I make a Molotov cocktail out of the bottle of alcohol I drank a little while ago and throw it far away.

I thought it would be really cool to do it, just like in the movies.

“But what is this sound?”

It sounded like a drone had been launched from somewhere.

No, it sounded like an airplane or helicopter flying by.

So I immediately raised my head and looked at the sky.

It was natural, but all that was visible in the sky were clouds.

So, it was a moment when I looked around to see what was going on.

“… Ah?”

A green wasp the size of a wild boar was flying from afar.

I looked at that wasp-like thing blankly for a moment, then closed my mouth.

“No, fuck!”

First of all, it didn’t seem like an ordinary zombie had changed.

If zombies were transformed, those wasps had to have multiple human appearances.

But looking at that thing, which looked like a real giant hornet, it seemed like a mutated insect.

No, I was wondering if it was even okay to use the expression “mutation.”

Maybe it just grew because of plants infected with the zombie virus.

Rather, the expression evolution could have been more accurate.

No matter what happened, the fact that we had to fight now remained the same.

“… Okay, it will be weak for now!”

Seeing as the radar wasn’t working, it didn’t seem like a big deal, just a threatening sound.

Since I wasn’t a zombie, the radar might not work, but that didn’t matter right now.

I immediately took out the baton and held the handle with both hands.

And looking at the longevity hornets that had just appeared, I strengthened my resolve.

The first one to appear immediately lunged at me and opened its jaws.

But since it wasn’t the jaw that was threatening, there was nothing to be afraid of.

So, with all my might, I swung the baton and blew off his head.

“Homemade taste, good… !”

It seemed like I was a lot weaker than I thought, so I couldn’t help but smile.

It seemed like he was just an ordinary novice.

So it seemed like there was no need to be afraid of other wasps.

So, he beat five or six wasps to death with a baton.

“If it’s like this, there won’t be any problems, right?”

As I said that, I looked at the corpses of wasps scattered on the floor.

The jaws were quite large and fierce, but that was all.

Except for the fact that I could fly, it wasn’t that scary.

So, just as I was trying to reassure myself, I suddenly heard helicopters coming from all directions.
