Excluding the food that Han Yijin had secretly hidden away, there was not even a speck of dust left, so the entire group of thirty people, whether they thought it was a lot or a little, began to starve.

But while this hunger had at first seemed like a spark that would burst into a blazing fire, now they were even more focused on training, thinking that fighting each other like that would only waste energy and not gain anything.

As if this was the last hope.

Along with them, Sia and Han Yijin also starved.

The two of them could fill their stomachs with the hidden food, but the rest of them were starving and losing weight, and their cheeks were noticeably chubby, so what would they think if they saw only the two of them with plump skin and soft cheeks? It was an inevitable choice.

Anyway, perhaps because the future was predicted to be one of starvation beyond hunger, the survivors who felt a sense of crisis about their lives gradually entered the path of awakening, and eventually, everyone awakened.

Of course, Han Jin-i is still treated as the only normal person in the group who has not awakened his ability to hypnotize because he has kept it a secret.

“I’ll send it down. Who was it today?“

“It’s me…….“

A crowd of people stood in front of the elevator, nervously holding crude weapons made from rolling pins and kitchen knives.

In the meantime, Han Jin-i said that and pressed the 1st floor button in the elevator, the only one in the hotel that runs on only Yeppi power, and then pressed the open button, asking.

The person who answered was none other than Ji Ha-yoon.

She suffered from endless hunger just like everyone else, and had lost so much weight that she was practically skin and bones.

Nevertheless, her beautiful appearance was only slightly blemished, but her beauty did not completely disappear.

“Really? Can you do it?“

“Uh… I can do it. No, even if I can’t, I have to do it.“

Just a few days ago, she was a very arrogant and look down on others, but now, there was no trace of that.

Just to survive, if it meant relieving this hunger, I would give up everything and jump into a space filled with filth without hesitation.

Han Jin nodded at her determined expression, took his finger off the open button, and quickly came out before the door closed.

The elevator quickly went down to the first floor.

Ding!

Maybe it was because there was only silence. I could clearly hear the sound of the door opening when I reached the first floor.

“Get ready.“

The arrow signs on the elevator disappeared.

That means the door is closed.

Han Yi-jin pressed the elevator button, trusting Choi Na-eun who was standing next to her.

Then, the arrow sign that had disappeared reappeared and was rising quickly.

“Don’t be so nervous.“

“I know. I know.“

“Okay. Do it yourself. If it’s dangerous, I’ll help you right away.“

Choi Na-eun tried to relieve the tension by patting her shoulder, but Ji Ha-yoon answered in a very stern tone, as if that wasn’t working.

However, Choi Na-eun did not feel offended, but rather seemed to understand. She nodded and adjusted her weapon.

So that we can help her whenever she is in danger.

Ding!

The vibration and noise gradually increased, and then soon disappeared completely.

And then came the notification sound. Ji Ha-yoon swallowed hard and her whole body trembled in fear.

In the past, she would have been a weak woman who would have run away in fear. But the person here now was a warrior taking a heavy step forward to fight against the end of the world.

Woohoo.

The door opened.

“Kuaaak!“

Luckily, today there was a zombie in the elevator at one point.

But unfortunately, there were not one, but two.

Because of that, Choi Na-yoon was about to take off her feet from the ground to deal with one herself and leave the other behind.

“Stay still!“

Jiha Yoon was terrified when he saw the horribly shaped dead body with necrotic skin, black eyes, and missing flesh and body parts, but he suppressed his fear as much as possible and ran towards it.

As expected of a user whose speed was focused and awakened, he quickly swung the kitchen knife in his hand.

But the zombie did not fall over even though I accurately cut off its neck, perhaps because it was too weak from hunger.

“Huh?!“

The zombie, a corpse that felt no pain, did not even care about the blade deeply embedded in its neck and thrust its face towards Jiha Yoon with its mouth wide open.

She let out a brief groan and distanced herself, not seeing the results of her training here.

“Kyaaah!“

A zombie that had followed behind screamed and rushed at me.

“Fuck! F**k! Get behind! Get behind!“

The second zombie was about to become a zombie. It was twisted in a strange direction, as if it had suffered a serious leg injury while still human.

And since he had no intelligence and couldn’t use his arms properly, Jiha Yoon moved quickly and kept cutting off the zombies’ necks.

“Kyaaak! Kyaak…! Kyaak!“

As I started to cut his neck unilaterally, his movements started to become slower little by little.

“Kyaaah!“

You can’t just sit still when there’s quality prey right in front of you.

The zombie that had initially beheaded Ji Ha-yoon began to move again, then opened its eyes wide and rushed at the people standing behind her, including Han Yi-jin, rather than Ji Ha-yoon.

But even that would be unacceptable. Ji Ha-yoon kicked the headless body of the zombie, whose neck had just fallen off completely, leaving the body standing but its head falling to the ground.

“What?!“

The zombie fell so gruesomely that if it were a sentient creature, it would have immediately done push-ups while enduring the pain.

Not missing this opportunity, Jiha Yoon stomped on the zombie’s head, stuck a knife into its neck, and twisted it around.

Phew… crunch. Crunch.

The sound of bones grinding and the screams and flailing of zombies that felt like screams.

The zombie stopped moving, as if something important to it had been cut off.

“Thank you for your hard work.“

Han Jin-i approached her, who was sweating profusely and shaking her hands and feet as if the aftertaste was still there, and handed her a towel.

“Haa… Haa……“

Ji Ha-yoon took a towel and wiped the beads of sweat that had formed on his face, letting out a ragged breath.

“You were the last one?“

Nod nod.

Ji Ha-yoon nodded to Choi Na-eun’s question.

“Was Hayoon the last one?“

“Oh. Hayoon is the last. There’s no more after this.“

“……“

Choi Na-eun looked at the specific people gathered around her while confirming her opinion.

Among them were Sia’s concubines, VVIP guests, and a few of the staff here who tried to look away or coughed in vain.

These were pathetic people who, despite having awakened the power to fight zombies, kept throwing tantrums and saying they could never fight zombies.

“Let’s take a short break and then leave right away……“

“No, I’m leaving tomorrow.“

“No. We need to get something to eat as soon as possible.“

Of course, food was urgent.

And there are many hungry people right now, and Choi Na-eun, too, may be very hungry, so she may be thinking of leaving in a hurry and leaving right away.

But the truth is that it was a selfish act, as she was worried that although she could endure hunger, she could not bear to watch Sia, who was starving just like her.

“Yes. I know. But if I go out like this, it might be a meaningless death.“

If you haven’t eaten anything, your body won’t be able to produce enough energy, so going out to find food would be a waste of energy if you can’t exert yourself at a crucial moment.

“Then what?“

“Is there a way?” she said, as if asking.

“Let’s eat first.“

Han Jin walked forward without hesitation, citing the fact that it took longer than expected for the Awakened to adapt and that he was too hungry to help them.

At her appearance, I looked bewildered at her words that we should start eating even though the food storage was empty, but I followed her for the time being.

Then, as soon as he saw a lot of food, he got excited and grabbed Han Jin by the collar.

“Ahhh…..!“

He let out a groan with a pained expression as his back hit the wall hard while being grabbed by the collar.

“What is all this?“

Choi Na-eun looked at her as if she was going to kill her, feeling betrayed that she had hidden food without anyone knowing.

“Actually……“

Han Jin-i confessed the truth with an apologetic expression, and those who heard it, including Choi Na-eun, were speechless.

“Fuck.“

As Han Jin-i said, if we had not had a sense of crisis about the lack of food, the situation would not have changed no matter how much food we had.

And like this. When the situation of lack of food came, didn’t the number of people who realized the seriousness of the situation and changed their minds increase?

Anyway, the result was good and there was nothing for Choi Na-eun to get angry about.

Still, he was furious at the fact that he and Sia were starving because they had hidden the food without saying a word.

“I’m leaving tomorrow. And… I’m ready to take any insults.“

Han Jin continued speaking, lowering his head.

The water droplets dripping on the floor indicate that she is shedding tears.

“That won’t happen.“

If Han Jin-i hadn’t even looked hungry, his anger would have reached its peak, but seeing that she was no different from anyone else and that she had no family left, his anger quickly cooled down.

This isn’t just Choi Na-eun. As evidence, even Ji Ha-yoon, rather than being angry, is relieved that there is still food left and is looking favorably on Han Yi-jin.

“Let’s leave tomorrow… First, eat something filling… No, eat something moderate.“

“Wow!“

As soon as Choi Na-eun gave permission, people began to shovel food into their mouths with bright expressions.
