episode_0022

Due to the tremendous rushing power, the zombies bounce around like bowling pins hit by a bowling ball.

A scene like something out of a cartoon.

The person who created such a scene was me and no one else.

Immense joy and excitement welled up in my heart.

But even for a moment,

Squishy

The joy and excitement turned into embarrassment and impatience as the heavily pumped full body suit sank as if it were a wise man’s time.

“Well, what is it? Lara, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

I don’t know what to do

“You’re so hungry that you can’t do it anymore? After all, energy consumption is no joke.”

Lara’s strength increases as her body grows.

The pumped full body suit, also known as the power suit, is a technology created by taking advantage of Lara’s characteristics to increase the suit’s strength while simultaneously compressing the unnecessarily large volume to the limit.

Growing and compressing the body were all effects of skill-change, and thanks to using the skill to the limit, Lara’s energy was quickly consumed.

From the time I first conceived of this technique, I had expected that it would consume a lot of energy, but I had no idea that my energy would run out in just one rush.

The power suit was a technology that was much less fuel-efficient than I thought.

‘But it’s a waste to throw it away. Because the effect is so good. I can’t. ‘I can only use it as a trump card when it’s really important.’

Feeling disappointed as I looked around at the zombies lying on the ground with broken limbs, I grabbed the hammer tightly and rushed towards the zombies that were still standing.

OMG!

“Noisy!”

Kwasik! Kwasik!

He yells loudly and swings his hammer.

Zombies that came within range of the hammer were literally torn apart.

Zombies outside the hammer’s range were dealt with by four spiny tentacles that sprouted from both shoulders and back.

When there were too many zombies or I was tired and wanted to rest, I took refuge in a building without hesitation, and when the zombies’ aggro was relieved, I found an opening and went in to slaughter the zombies again.

To be honest, the power suit was too much technology for an ordinary zombie.

If you use other techniques and terrain properly like you do now, you could be a matchless fighter with just a full-body suit.

‘I don’t know if that would really work on mutant zombies.’

-Tiring! You’ve hunted enough zombies. 1 point is given as a reward.

The moment I cracked the zombie’s head with a bitter smile, the system gave me 1 point as if to console me.

Okay, we haven’t even met you yet, so there’s no need to be scared.

After shaking off the anxiety from my chest along with the zombie’s bodily fluids on my hammer, I headed to the rooftop of the building where other people were.

For reference, the fragments that were absorbed into the full-body suit when the power suit was activated remained on the street and ate the corpses of zombies to replenish their lost energy.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“…”

“Ugh!”

When I got up to the rooftop, Seulbi greeted me as warmly as a newlywed woman coming to meet her husband.

On the other hand, the pyromancer and his androgynous-looking companion had an uneasy expression on their faces, as if they were welcoming an uncomfortable guest.

Well, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

The world is now in a zombie apocalypse, and people are just as dangerous as zombies during this time.

Even if you are the benefactor who saved my life, you cannot help but be cautious.

Because his life may have been saved for a bad purpose.

Didn’t I just keep Seulbi alive for the purpose of raping her over and over again?

“No matter what, you should have received healing, store owner.”

“This voice! Is it really you, Minsu?”

The pyromancer, who was clutching his side and desperately trying to keep his eyes open, opens his eyes wide and asks me at the sound of my voice.

Instead of answering, I took off the helmet I was wearing on my head.

“Really, it was really you.”

Current pyromancer and former convenience store owner Han Ye-rin looked at my face and showed an expression that was half surprised and half glad.

“Sister!”

“It’s okay. It’s because I lost my strength.”

Afterwards, I leaned against my colleague next to me, and it seemed like I was relieved that I was the one who slaughtered the zombies.

“It seems like you know Minsu, so trust him and lie down. Let’s take a look and see how your body is doing.”

Seulbi said to Yerin and her colleague that it was time.

Yerin, who had not yet let go of her guard against Seulbi, looked at me.

“Do as you are told with peace of mind. Seulbi is a doctor and also has the gift of healing.”

“Well, if you are.”

“Sister.”

“It’s okay. Even if she doesn’t know, that guy isn’t the type of person to lie.”

After reassuring her colleague who looked worried, Yerin lay down comfortably in front of Seulbi.

That’s probably why Yerin didn’t see it, but I saw it clearly.

I saw her colleague’s face slightly distort when Yerin defended herself by saying that I am not the kind of person who would lie.

At a glance, it can be seen that the distortion was caused by jealousy.

Koo~ Koo~

Anyway, not long after lying down, Yerin started snoring softly.

“…You must have been very tired.”

“Yes, a lot has happened since the day.”

When Seulbi spoke in bewilderment, Yerin’s colleague responded with a sad expression.

I asked just in case.

“Did something happen because of the store owner’s fiery personality?”

“…Yes, that’s right. From what you are saying, it seems like you have experienced a lot.”

“Yes, I’ve been through a lot.”

I vaguely opened my eyes and recalled the past.

Yerin had a very fiery personality, and of course, that personality was not suited to a service job.

Thanks to this, fights broke out between Yerin and the customers who came to the convenience store more than once.

Although most of the fights were caused by the customers’ fault, such as not picking up the trash or behaving rudely to the employees, from the perspective of a part-time worker like me, there was no disaster like that.

Thanks to this, the days I worked with Yerin were several times more difficult than other days because I was worried that another fight would break out.

If a fight broke out, we had to go to the police station together to defend Yerin.

“Haha. My sister was like that even before the apocalypse began. I have come to respect you even more.”

Yerin’s coworker looked at her with sparkling eyes at my story.

But respect?

No matter how I look at it, those eyes are not the same as when you look at someone you respect.

I said with a smile as the situation became more and more interesting.

“That’s right. Well, enough of the editorial, so what happened during the day? Oh, before that, shall we start with a full statement? As the store owner said earlier, my name is Park Min-su, and this is Choi Seul-bi.”

“My name is Subin, Shin Subin. You both seem to be older than me. Can I call you Minsu-hyung and Seulbin-noona?”

“You can call me that, but Seulbi is too old to call me that!”

“Hohoho. Of course you can call me that. We can also comfortably call you Subin!”

The moment I was about to correct Seulbi’s title, Seulbi smiled brightly and covered my mouth.

In revenge, I pinched her voluptuous buttocks, and a malevolent moan escaped Seulbi’s mouth, as if the effect of the medicine was still there.

Seulbi must have felt embarrassed for making such a noise in front of others, so she risked Lara’s retaliation and pulled my cheeks with all her might.

“Ha, hahaha. You guys get along very well. Are you a lover?”

“No!”

“Not yet.”

“You really!”

Seulbi blushed bright red and huffed when I said, “Not yet.” Then she snorted as if she didn’t want to get involved anymore and started examining Yerin.

“Are you okay? You seem angry.”

“It’s okay. I’m doing that because I’m embarrassed. Rather, what is the answer to the question?”

“You asked what happened during the day? As Minsu-hyung said, Yerin-noona had some problems with other people because of her fiery personality.”

According to Subin’s subsequent explanation, Yerin and Subin were living together with other survivors in an apartment complex.

In the case of Yerin, there were fights with others due to her beautiful appearance and fiery personality, but thanks to her powerful abilities, it did not turn into a big problem.

However, today the complex manager, who was in charge of representing the survivors, announced that since there was not much food, he would reduce the amount of food distributed to women and children.

It is said that when Yerin strongly protested, the manager and others joined forces to subdue her, took away all the food she had, and locked her in the room.

“They say it was inevitable because there was not enough food, but in this case, the manager and others were at fault. Most of the food left so far was saved by Yerin, risking her life.”

“He asked for it, but his share actually decreased. I’m sure he would have protested even if it weren’t for the store owner. Is that why you saved the store owner?”

“It’s true that I tried to save you, but I wasn’t able to actually save you. The moment I tried to save them, the zombies got stronger, and Yerin, who realized the seriousness of the situation, burned everything that was restraining her and escaped on her own.”

In the process, a fire broke out in the apartment, and Soobin had no choice but to leave the apartment, he added with an embarrassed expression.

“Good job. If I had stayed in the apartment, I would have died by human hands, not zombies.”

“That’s what I think too.”

“So where were you trying to run away? For your information, we are planning to go to ■■ middle school.”

“Oh, we were planning to go there too. I was a student at that middle school, so I knew the route well. Well, I was almost killed by zombies on the way. If I didn’t have my older brother and sister, I would have become a zombie. Thank you so much.”
