Will he be able to survive until the vaccine is completed, or will he die before then?

Everything depended on this one choice.

‘Let’s take a closer look before making a choice.’

First of all, the body.

If a person chooses the body as an ability, he or she will be able to transcend the limitations of the body.

It is basic to dramatically increase physical performance such as strength, agility, and vision, and by investing points, you can also transform your body, such as making your skin as hard as steel or turning your sweat into poison.

Of course, it was possible to increase recovery and immunity, so the superpower and body were very reliable friends like soup.

For your information, as a proud person of Korea, I really loved soup.

‘…Let’s take out the flesh.’

But still, I excluded the body from the options.

Because I wasn’t confident I could survive with that.

To my shame, I was quite physically fit.

I hate being sick, so I have never fought with anyone in my life.

Will I be able to fight well just because I am in better shape?

‘It’s absolutely impossible.’

Next is superpower.

If a person chooses superpower as their special ability, the person will gain superpowers such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, and pyrokinesis.

However, he could not choose the superpower he wanted.

Superpowers were given randomly based on a person’s aptitude, personality, and occupation.

That wasn’t the only problem with superpowers.

Because it took a lot of mental power to exercise superpowers, it was difficult to survive in the beginning before investing points to increase the efficiency of superpowers.

Although there are serious problems, superpowers are actually very useful and powerful.

Above all, it had the advantage of making it possible for even a person like me with a very small body to make more than one serving.

‘So, put the superpowers on hold for now.’

Finally summoned.

If a person chooses summoning as their ability, they can summon characters from history that no longer exist or fictional beings such as legends and novels.

Unlike superpowers that depend on aptitude, personality, occupation, etc., the summons for special ability-summoning were completely random.

Moreover, summons have a thing called loyalty, so you should not feel at ease just because you selected an excellent summon.

This is because if you treat it as a created being, the summoned animal may run away.

Instead, the summoner could summon multiple summons by consuming points.

It was said that if done well, a one-man army could be created.

‘…Okay, I’ve decided.’

After contemplating between superpowers and summoning for a while, I made a decision.

The skill I chose is,

‘Summons. ‘I decided on you!’

I really liked the fact that I could form an army by myself.

From my experience in life, there is nothing more important than the number of people.

-Tiring! You have chosen the special ability – Summoning. Summoning will begin soon. I wish the survivors good luck.

Whoa!

As soon as the notification sound rang in my ears, a dazzling blue gate formed in front of me.

Soon something the size of a watermelon popped out from inside.

“…”

-…

“…System, isn’t it? Are you kidding me? Huh?”

-Tiring! Congratulations. You have summoned a slime. For more information, please use the summons window.

-P.s. You are very unlucky!

“Don’t send me that kind of thing as a postscript!”

I was furiously angry at the brutality of the system that was adding fire to an already heated fire.

The slime started to tremble as it looked at me.

Thanks to the perks of summoned creatures that have difficulty communicating, I was able to know what emotions they were feeling and what they were thinking.

The slime was now feeling guilty and afraid.

After all, he felt guilty that he, the worst of the worst, had been summoned as the first summoned beast, and was afraid that he would be abandoned by the summoner as soon as he was summoned.

I felt sorry.

While holding the slime in my arms, I apologized to him.

“I’m sorry. By making you feel those emotions. Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person who would do what you thought when we first met.”

Don’t you know?

“Not really. It was later than that to say hello. My name is Park Minsu. I’m just an ordinary college student and I don’t have any special talents. So please help me a lot in the future.”

Scam! Scam!

“Okay, I’ll just trust you.”

~♥

The slime, who seemed to really like my words that he would trust me, regained his energy and rubbed his body against my cheek like a puppy showing affection.

The slime’s body was very soft and soft, so it felt really good.

Thanks to this, the burning heat quickly subsided.

‘I think I’m feeling better, so let’s check it out.’

I opened the summon window while watching the slime.

◎(name not yet determined)

Race: Slime (♀)

Possessed Skills: Digestion, mucus production, single-mindedness (perk)

Loyalty! : 70(50→70)

-Skill Description

Digestion: Can digest not only organic matter but also some inorganic matter.

Slime production: Can produce slime with special effects. (Currently produced mucus-digestive fluid)

One Heart at a Time: A perk for summoned animals who have difficulty communicating. You can communicate with your heart.

‘…As expected, there’s nothing great about it.’

There was nothing particularly noteworthy in the summon window, as if it was the weakest of the weakest monsters.

Loyalty increased from 50 to 70, but it was not a big deal because it was very easy to increase the loyalty of low-intelligence summons like slimes.

The skills were so mediocre that they were miserable.

I wonder if that’s the only way to catch one zombie.

‘What should I name it?’

After a moment of disappointment, I thought about the name of the slime.

Until I earned points and summoned a new pet, I had no choice but to stick with the slime even if I didn’t like it.

In that case, it would be much more beneficial to decide on a name for your partner that you should persistently call from now on, rather than just taking a deep breath.

“Lime? No, that’s too boring. Lala, how about Lala?”

Scam! Scam!

Slime, or rather Lara, seemed to like the name and jumped up and down in place.

“Then shall we go hunting now?”

Scam! Scam!

Points could only be obtained by killing zombies.

The more points you collect, the stronger the survivor becomes, so hunting is not an option but a necessity.

“Oh, let’s prepare a few things before that.”

I feel sorry for Lara, but I felt like if I went hunting out of ignorance, I would die without even being able to do anything.

After checking the extent of Lara’s strength and how much she could transform her body, I made a weapon using items found at a convenience store.

The weapon was solved by sharpening the end of the stick of the pushing stick.

I also considered using a cutter knife, but I thought it wouldn’t be effective against zombies, so I chose the former.

‘Let’s make armor too.’

Since we put in so much effort, we decided to make some armor as well.

I brought a few boxes from the warehouse and wrapped them around my arms, legs and body with tape, and also wore coated work gloves to thoroughly protect my hands.

‘If I had stayed at home, preparations like this would have been impossible.’

Compared to home, which had only the bare minimum of daily necessities, convenience stores had a variety of items and a lot of food.

I guess it’s thanks to him that I’m taking my time preparing now.

I became a little, a very little thankful for the store owner who stopped me from leaving work.

“Lala, let’s go for real now.”

After I was fully prepared, I headed to the door with Lara.

Then, when I saw the scene unfolding in front of the door, I came back.

‘Joe, you’re screwed.’

I remembered it later.

What’s in front of the convenience store?

Less than 3 minutes away in front of the convenience store was a hospital, and of course, an emergency room, and until a few tens of minutes ago, many patients suspected of having Malum were being transported to that emergency room.

So what kind of scene is unfolding in front of the convenience store now that the apocalypse has begun?

‘What is it? Of course it’s overflowing with tons of zombies!’

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to leave the front door.

The moment I leave, countless zombies will run towards me panting.

‘I wonder if the back door is the same.’

After giving up on going out the front door, I immediately thought of the back door used to throw away the trash.

Because the back door was connected to a narrow alley between buildings, there couldn’t have been many zombies, both in terms of location and structure.

I immediately headed to the back door and opened it slightly to check the situation in the alley.

‘also!’

As expected, there weren’t many zombies in the alley.

About one or three?

Although it was a very small number compared to the front gate, it was still a burdensome number to go out and fight.

‘invitation. ‘Let’s lure him into the convenience store and kill him.’

Fortunately, the hallway leading to the back door was optimized for hiding and conducting a surprise attack.

‘The key is how to attract zombies.’

Scam! Scam!

“What? Want me to leave it to you?”

Scam!

While I was thinking about a way to lure the zombies, Lara jumped up and down and told me to leave it to her.

From that intention, I felt Lara’s will to help me in any way possible.

In the end, I nodded and left the bait to Lara.

I opened the back door slightly so Lara could get out and then hid in the corner.

Lara rolled over and went out the back door.

Is it because I feel like jumping up and down will attract a lot of aggro, so I just roll around like that?

It seemed that Lara’s intelligence was not as bad as I thought.

Roll around!

Turn it off

I was amazed at Lara’s intelligence for a moment before Lara came back rolling around, just like she did when she left.

A zombie appeared behind Lara.

The zombie chasing Lara step by step finally reached a dead end.

At that moment, Lara jumped up and covered the zombie’s mouth.

At the same time,

Sigh!

The tip of the spear, struck with all its might, pierced the zombie’s head.
