Central Library (4) – Incheon Central Library, 4th floor

After changing hands with Seo Taesan, I stared into space, using a hard dictionary as a pillow.

[Facilities that can be built]

[Religious facilities]

1. [Prayer Room]

2. [Repentance Room]

3. [Inspection Office]

… …

[Facilities]

1. [Waterworks]

2. [Small generator]

3. [Toilet]

4. [Meal Center]

… …

Hmm, is it possible to build with just a touch?

I briefly touched the prayer room.

[Prayer Room]

[This is a prayer room where believers praise the religious leader. As the number of believers who pray in the prayer room increases, the supply of faith to the religious leader increases. 2000 faith is consumed during construction.]

It felt like looking at the construction tab of a tycoon game.

This time, I touched the bathroom near the convenience facilities.

[restroom]

[We are building restrooms that believers can use comfortably. During construction, the happiness and loyalty of believers increases. Construction of a toilet requires a water supply connection. Construction costs 4000 faith.]

Well, now the default is in the thousands.

I know how to use it.

Religious facilities manage the supply and demand of believers and build convenient facilities to make believers feel comfortable.

The shape was like a ‘prison that you don’t want to escape from.’

When I touched it one more time, a 3D map that appeared to be a library appeared.

And the red-painted bathroom moved around according to my gestures.

So, if the conditions are met, the red color will change to green and it will be installed in the desired location.

Okay, I’ll have to gather my faith a little harder starting tomorrow.

With a small resolution, I closed the sanctuary management tab and looked at the ceiling.

The time displayed on the minimap was just past 9 p.m.

Normally, it would have been a time when society was more active than in the morning.

A night street with neon signs that twinkle as if tormenting the eyes and the words ‘night-time’ are not to be regretted.

Bars that should be filled with the laughter of office workers having dinner and men and women talking loudly.

The sound of cars honking on a busy street and someone drinking alcohol.

Then, I will prepare for my shift while waiting for my part-time job at night.

After buying some beer and snacks, I hurried home and said hello to the guild members in the game and started doing my homework.

That was my daily routine.

That boring but peaceful daily life had disappeared as if it had been a momentary dream.

Silent.

Now this complete silence, even the gunshots and gunshots that had sounded in the morning, was speaking to me.

That day won’t come anymore.

In such a time of despair, I actually felt excited.

The joy I felt when killing a zombie.

And the sense of omnipotence you feel as you level up your skills.

A feeling of superiority, observing a situation from the top of someone’s head.

Plus, the soft and chewy hands of a woman.

I now had a ‘specialness’ that I could not enjoy.

I feel sorry for those who died in this world, but I was so happy about this situation that I couldn’t sleep.

No, actually, saying I was sorry was all a lie.

In my head, I kept thinking about Yoon Ah-young and my plan to make this camp my own.

***

I felt my mind slowly coming back from sleep.

Someone was approaching me with quiet footsteps.

When I slowly opened my eyes, I still saw complete darkness.

Because it was morning, no one came to wake me up.

In that case, either he is someone who has business for me or he is a zombie.

Neither of them meant anything good to me.

I glanced sideways at the minimap and prepared my telekinesis.

“Oh, oh, oppa.”

As soon as I checked Yoon Ah-young’s name on the minimap, I heard her voice.

A voice too distant and small for the purpose of waking me up.

Without reacting, I quietly waited for her next move.

She quietly approached me and shook my shoulder.

“Oppa… Hey, wake up.”

“… Are you Ayoung?”

“… Yes.”

I slowly got up and shined a light on her with the flashlight I took from my inventory.

She was startled by the floating flashlight and began to shiver repeatedly.

It’s a completely different reaction from when we watch telekinesis together while standing watch.

Even when he was floating his body, the fact that he was laughing as if he was having fun was meaningless.

She continued to look around as if she was anxious and came closer to me.

Yoon Ah-young grabbed the hem of my clothes and whispered softly.

“A monster has come again. It’s very close. Well, I might come here soon.”

She ‘sensed a crisis’.

I calmed down Yoon Ah-young by stroking her head with a hand full of selfish thoughts.

“It’s okay. It will be fine. Don’t worry about anything because I’m by your side.”

I looked at the mini-map as I saw that Yoon Ah-young’s tremors were gradually calming down.

As of yet, there has been no enemy intrusion into the library.

That meant there was something close to the library.

‘I guess I’ll have to take a look to see if it’s a zombie or a mutant.’

I continued to gently hug her shoulder, reminding her that I was by her side.

I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, I thought as I watched her flinch again.

What would she do if this hand went not to her shoulder but to her precious underside?

Would we just accept it without saying a word then as we do now?

I was very curious about that.

The first thing to do was to resolve this annoying situation.

We started walking in the direction Yoon Ah-young was talking about.

The flashlight I floated brightly illuminated the dark space.

Her steps headed toward the first floor.

As I entered the first floor, I grabbed the flashlight that had been lifted up by telekinesis with the hand that held my shoulder.

“Eh, eh? W, why are you here… .”

I looked around when I heard Lee Gyeong-min’s voice of surprise as he saw us suddenly come down.

The sight that caught my eye was truly spectacular.

Several bags of snacks rolling around on the table and a smartphone held in Lee Kyung-min’s hand.

Well, unless you’re looking at the clock horizontally, you’re probably playing a ‘game’.

An auxiliary battery connected to a smartphone was also seen.

‘It’s truly a first-class waste grade among waste grades.’

“Ha, hahaha. Well, that’s it.”

I asked Yoon Ah-young, ignoring Lee Gyeong-min, who hurriedly started making excuses.

“Is this this place?”

“… This place is the closest to me.”

Lee Kyung-min’s expression suddenly turned cold as the conversation echoed through the lobby.

“Now, wait a minute. Well, that bitch came… Fuck, fuck!”

thud-

It took only one moment for Lee Kyung-min to pick up the hiking stick left on the table and for the bookshelf blocking the door to collapse.

Something that destroyed the bookshelf in an instant literally ‘flew’ towards Lee Kyung-min.

It was a zombie whose abnormally developed thighs were clearly visible.

“Keee!”

“Ugh, wow!”

In an instant, as if mounted, the hiking stick entered the jaw of the zombie that attacked Kyungmin Lee.

A desperate struggle ensued between Lee Gyeong-min’s trembling arms, who were screaming, and the zombies, who were somehow trying to eat him.

Geek Geek-

The hiking stick, which could not withstand the zombie’s grip, was slowly bending.

‘It’s a variant.’

From Kyungmin Lee’s perspective, it was a very unlucky situation.

It’s a variant that can launch a special surprise attack on a first-class monster that even regular zombies can’t do.

This is a cow-killing knife being swung at a chicken.

I felt sorry for our sick chicken, but what can I do?

I wasn’t generous enough to take in an asshole like Kang San.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to just die right now. ‘It’s a so-called honorable death.’

Indomitable veteran Lee Kyung-min.

Passed away in a surprise attack by mutant zombies, not regular zombies.

Lee Gyeong-min struggled to somehow get out of Byun’s mount posture.

As the hiking stick slowly came down, Lee Gyeong-min’s head also turned to the side.

As if ignoring the death that would come to him.

Then, Lee Kyung-min and Yoon A-young’s eyes met.

Lee Gyeong-min’s eyes, which had been filled with resignation, suddenly filled with something else.

I could see resentment and curses filling my eyeballs.

“Hey, wow! That fucking idiot! Oh, I was right! I was right! ”

“Hee hee hee!”

Yoon Ah-young, who was shaking more violently than ever before, voluntarily hugged me.

And when I saw that, a flash of light ran through my head.

“Kkiss!”

“Lee Kyung-min! Get out of the way!”

The head of the mutant, who is on the verge of being thrown into Lee Gyeong-min’s body, is pinned by powerful telekinesis.

Wedge—

The distance between me and the mutant explosively decreases with the sound of the wind cutting through.

My headbutt exploded into the panicked body of the mutant.

In fact, it was a telekinetic exercise pretending to be a body slam.

bang-

I looked at the mutant stuck in the broken bookshelf and picked up the hiking sticks lying on the floor.

It was already bent enough that I couldn’t use it properly, but it was better than holding nothing.

He held a hiking stick in his right hand and turned his back on Lee Kyung-min as if to protect him.

“Kkiss!”

The mutant’s body shook along with the broken pieces of the bookshelf.

I could see his thighs rapidly shrinking and then expanding.

It did not seem to be a variant with special abilities like the ‘baby variant’.

It’s probably a combat variant that looks like a muscle mass.

It would have attacked its prey with the incredible speed radiating from its well-developed thighs.

However, this was my home ground.

The telekinetic power of the ‘Imitation Adult’, which boasts twice the efficiency due to the effect of Sanctuary, began to weigh down the mutant.

“Kiss, kkissss!”

In order to somehow escape the telekinesis, the mutant began to glow.

I quickly checked the minimap.

‘Please fucking come quickly.’

There was no way that this much noise could not have been heard above.

I saw the name tags of Kangsan and Seotaesan running this way in a hurry.

“Kyungmin!”

Listening to Kang San’s shouts that exuded urgency, I purposely cheered myself up.

“Yaaaa!”

And then he started running towards the mutant at the speed that a normal human can reach.

“Keee!”

The variant fixed on telekinesis gave its final roar.

I continued to shake my whole body, but my telekinesis was a little stronger.

“Die! You bastard!”

A stick was stuck in the mutant’s head and a message window appeared.

[You have defeated the mutant.]

[Acquire 500 faith.]

[Acquire knowledge about variants!]

[Variant ‘Frog’]

[Frog delivers an unexpected surprise attack to the opponent with his developed thighs. The frog’s developed thighs allow it to glide in the air, even if only for a moment. Frogs react greatly to heat, unlike regular zombies.]

Thump- thump-

In the meantime, I checked the drum, which was burning faithfully.

It seems that it wasn’t a complete coincidence that that mutant came here.

“Lee, Kyung-min Lee! Are you okay?”

“No one should come close to Lee Kyung-min!”

Kang San, who was hurriedly approaching Lee Gyeong-min, hesitated when Seong Ga-eul spoke.

Seong Ga-eul, who was watching Lee Gyeong-min, who was in a daze as if he had lost his mind, said to me.

“… Is he dead?”

“Yes. I definitely killed it.”

“… Have you been bitten?”

“Well, of course I didn’t get bitten, and Kyungmin probably didn’t get bitten either.”

“I hope so too.”

Seong Ga-eul said again, handing extra hiking sticks to Kang San and Seo Tae-san.

“Please stay there for 5 minutes.”

“I guess you can find out in just 5 minutes?”

“If it’s what I’ve seen so far.”

I shrugged my shoulders and then nodded.

“Well, you say so.”

After five icy minutes, Kang San ran to Lee Gyeong-min with a sigh of relief.

“Kyungmin! are you okay? What happened!”

“Ugh, uhm, tongue, bro?”

“Yes! It’s me, Kang San. Are you coming to your senses?”

“Well, my head… .”

Lee Kyung-min, who was frowning and holding his head, turned his eyes to Yoon Ah-young.

“Lord, you have to kill him. Shareholder… ”

“What is he saying all of a sudden? Kyungmin? Kyungmin Lee?”

“I have to kill that bitch! Oh, I was right! I’m right! How many times have I almost lost my mind because of that shit!”

The eyes of the group members instantly focused on Yoon Ah-young.

Yoon Ah-young, who had been cowering as much as she could, slowly began to take a step back.

A smile that couldn’t be hidden came out at that sight.

“You have to kill him! I have to kill him! That fucking bitch is a traitor! It’s a witch! She was a witch! It was a fucking witch!”

It was the second coming of a modern-day witch hunt.
