When the long night ended and the morning sun gently peeked over the horizon.

“Brother, sister! Arrived!”

We were finally able to arrive at the ■■ middle school we had targeted.

Krraaa!

be careful!

Fight! You bastards! Come on and fight!

“…As expected, there were people.”

“Okay, it’s not exactly that there are only people.”

At a glance, there were quite a lot of people gathered at the school seen from the rooftop of the building across the street.

But unfortunately, people weren’t the only ones at the school.

The zombies were also crowded to the point that they were almost like people.

Of course, zombies and people did not get along, laughing haha.

Even as I was chatting leisurely with Seulbi, the two groups were fighting fiercely.

People were cleverly taking turns fighting at the entrance, so the fight was going in their favor, but that didn’t mean they had the advantage.

Everyone had a look of fatigue on their faces, as if they had been fighting zombies all night.

“Hyung! Let’s go and help!”

“Minsu, let’s do as Subin says this time.”

Subin, seeing those people, urges them to hurry up and help the people.

At some point, Seulbi’s gaze towards Subin turned cold, and she nodded as if it wasn’t a bad thing and agreed with that opinion.

opinions gathered together

However, the reasons for that opinion are probably different.

Seeing the worry and excitement in Soobin’s eyes, it seemed like he made such an opinion out of altruism and fairness.

Judging from the cold look on Seulbi’s face, it seemed like she was planning to use this opportunity to win people’s favor.

“Okay, let’s go help.”

I agreed with both of their opinions without much hesitation.

Of course, the reason I made that choice was similar to Seulbi’s reason and not Soobin’s.

Now that people are in an advantageous situation but are pushed to their physical limits, you will definitely be able to get a big return (people’s favor) with less risk (easy battle).

Selflessness? Resonance?

You should expect what you want from the rapist.

“Let’s hit the back of the zombies and focus their aggro on us.”

“The plan is to lure the zombies to a place where people can’t see them and then defeat them with Lara’s help. Good idea.”

Just by listening to simple instructions, Seulbi understood my plan perfectly.

I heard it’s good when you work with smart people.

-Tiring! Consume points to strengthen Slime (Lara).

Before going to fight, I spent points to strengthen Lara, just in case.

For reference, 1 point was given when defeating a mutant zombie (sleeping), so I had 2 points total from the points I had just started auto-hunting before, and with this reinforcement, I consumed the points and now have 1 point again.

“Then let’s go.”

“Yes.”

“Yes, old!”

In the meantime, I jumped down the building with my group, who had put down the food and supplies they had brought from the supermarket.

He jumped from a five-story building, but suffered no damage.

This was because the full body suit absorbed all the shock of the fall like rubber the moment my feet touched the ground.

The full-body suit didn’t stop there, but the moment we tried to jump forward, it absorbed the shock and released it through our feet, increasing our speed.

We rushed to school in a hurry.

“Hyung! sister! Let’s go together!”

But Subin, this bastard.

Even though you have a full body suit and physical abilities, why are you at the very back?

Although he had been talking most enthusiastically about going to rescue him, when it came time to actually move, his body must have been frozen out of fear.

If Lara hadn’t controlled her movements with a full-body suit and parasitic tentacles, she wouldn’t have been able to move at all.

Anyway, he was a guy I didn’t like.

“Die!”

The zombies have already arrived at the tail end.

I put all the stress I had accumulated because of Soobin into a hammer and swung it at the random zombie.

Pow!

Wow!

Perhaps due to stress, the zombie hit by the hammer not only had its head shattered, but its body was also mangled.

I didn’t plan on doing it like this.

Sorry, zombie.

If you want to blame me, blame Soobin for stressing me out.

“Die! haha! You too are dead!”

I was worried that Subin might be fighting better than me, but when I looked to the side, fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Subin, who defeated the zombies under Lara’s control, was running wild as if he was drunk from the excitement of battle.

“Hmph! Hot!”

If Soobin was a berserker, Seulbi was a Valkyrie who guided the dead to the underworld.

Unlike Subin and I, who wasted their power ignorantly, Seulbi used only the necessary strength, and not only that, she only attacked the zombie’s head without touching anything else.

Seeing her cold yet beautiful appearance, the people at the school suddenly forgot about the fight and just stared at her blankly.

If she had taken off her helmet, wouldn’t he have tried to stand by her side, even if it meant sacrificing his life?

Wow!

Due to Seulbi’s actions, almost a third of the zombies lost their lives in an instant.

At that point, the zombies’ gaze, which had been fixed on the people at the school, seemed to sense a sense of crisis, and their gaze shifted towards us.

I, who was keeping a close eye on the zombies while leaving the battle to Seulbi and Subin, quickly caught it and informed them.

“That’s enough! Let’s run away!”

“Yes!”

“, already? Instead of doing that, just one more, huh? Lala! Don’t do that, just grab one more ramen and let’s go!”

Seulbi turned her back on me without hesitation.

Subin, drunk with the excitement of battle, wanted to fight more, but was forced to leave the battle under Lara’s control.

The zombies quickly followed behind us as we ran around like that.

Beyond that, I could see people from the school yelling at me to run this way because it was dangerous.

But am I mistaken?

It feels like most of their eyes are focused on Seulbi.

I crossed the roads and alleys, thinking that it would be a bit annoying later.

After running for about 10 minutes, we came across a small river that seemed perfect for keeping the zombies away.

“Seulbi, Subin. Hook Tentacle!”

The verbal explanation ends there.

Any further explanation was replaced by throwing the hooked tentacle towards the roof of the building across the river.

Keep going!

As soon as the hooked tentacle reached the rooftop on the other side, Lara grabbed us.

We jumped over the river with our bodies floating, and the zombies that had been chasing us until the end ended up falling into the river.

Looking down at the zombies struggling in the river, I took a deep breath and asked my companions.

“No one got hurt, right?”

“Ko~.”

“…No, not the store owner. But you moved this much and you still haven’t woken up?”

“Phew!”

“Ha, hahaha!”

At that time, as if the timing was right, Yerin’s snoring was heard.

When I shook my head as if I was fed up, Seulbi and Subin couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Thanks to this, I, who was relaxed, joined in the laughter, and after laughing for a while, we returned to school.

――――――

“Thank you! thank you! If you hadn’t helped us, we definitely would not have been able to avoid great damage. Thank you so much again.”

thank you!

Girl, you were amazing!

It was the best!

The moment we entered the school after picking up our luggage that we had dropped off from the rooftop across from the school, a group of people came out of the main gate and greeted us.

An elderly man who seemed to be the representative of the group bowed his head and expressed his gratitude to us, and the people standing behind him also expressed their gratitude and compliments.

Even though most of the praise was directed to Seulbi, it didn’t feel bad because it seemed to have achieved a high level of favorability as planned.

“Vice principal, slowly.”

“Teacher Choi, is it really necessary to do that? He is a lifesaver who helped us.”

“It may be a betrayal of grace, but it is something that must be done for the sake of people.”

“Grunt~.”

At that time, a middle-aged man who was watching us closely with cool eyes approached the elderly man and quietly chided him.

The old man was very embarrassed at first, but after the middle-aged man continued to persuade him, he eventually groaned and nodded.

Are you sure you’re not trying to kick us out?

“Everyone. I’m sorry for asking this question and I’m not welcome, but are you planning on joining our group based at the school, or more specifically, at the school?”

“Yes, as long as it’s okay with you. But there seems to be some problem.”

“No, no. It’s not a problem. You are welcome to join. However, before joining, I would like you to be quarantined for a day.”

“Ah, quarantine.”

“Please don’t feel too offended. If you are infected with the Malum virus while fighting and blindly accept you without knowing it…”

“You don’t have to say anything more than that. Because I know what you want to say.”

Fortunately, they didn’t mean to kick us out.

I breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the quarantine.

Quarantine was a natural thing to do in a zombie apocalypse.

In fact, if they hadn’t quarantined us, we would have thought twice about joining the group.

“Sorry. I’m really sorry.”

“It’s okay. It would be nice if the isolation room were a bit more comfortable. Because we were chased by zombies all night. I hope I fill my stomach a little.”

“There is a favor I have received, and of course I should give it to you. Isn’t that right, Mr. Choi?”

“What the vice principal said is correct. Now, come this way. I will guide you.”

The middle-aged man nodded as if it was obvious and soon led us to the school.

We entered the school as people cheered.
