First of all, the story came up and we talked about it, but I wondered if there was a need to remodel it.

No, to be honest. It’s not that I’m not good at handling the baton.

Over the past two weeks, there will be more than tens of thousands of zombies whose heads have been cut off.

Now that I’m slowly getting the hang of it, there’s no way I’ll need to modify it.

“That baseball bat, the distance is short.”

“Is it longer than your fist?”

“Is it as destructive as my fist?”

“If you say that, I have nothing to say.”

The baton’s destructive power was low compared to the one that explodes a lot of zombies in one hit.

No, to be honest, I couldn’t believe that a 5 kg club was weaker than his fist.

This means that he is a monster, and I don’t think our Beopbong did anything wrong.

So, the moment I tried to persuade him, a mop handle was thrust in front of my eyes.

“Now. Yeji Lee. What is your role?”

“Uh, tank? While you’re reorganizing, you’re getting hit and breaking the zombie’s head.”

“That’s right. But let’s break the zombie’s head while getting hit less.”

“Wash that….?”

“Yes. Let’s make it like Pyeongon. In this case, it would be Mapyeongon.”

“Aha……”

“Do you understand?”

“But, what is Pyeongon?”

Noh Chang-hoon gritted his teeth.

He felt like swearing at me right away, but he seemed to hold back because he couldn’t swear at a crazy kid.

I know because I did it often when I was in middle school. Why, there was a help group.

That’s the look on my face when she was talking nonsense.

But it was unfair. You may not know about it and all.

“Now. In this sack. Attach something like a chain and connect it to a club.”

“Is that convenient? It’s a flail.”

“You know the flail, but you don’t know the convenience?”

Noh Chang-hoon sighed in despair.

Then he slowly began to explain.

In the Western world, it is called a flail, and in the Eastern world, it is called a pyeongon or something.

It is said to be a Korean-style pyeongon, where the chain connecting the chain and the club is extremely short.

To be honest, I couldn’t think of anything other than being tickled.

Still, I felt like I would curse if I didn’t concentrate, so I nodded and continued listening.

“I attached a club to this long sack. How about that?”

“Uh, are you using it like nunchucks?”

“Similar. When you swing, the club hits a little further back.”

“Aha.”

“Plus, it’s so easy that you can use it as long as you can hold it with both hands.”

“So, it’s better than swinging a baseball bat?”

“Yes. In case of emergency, you can just grab the bat and swing it.”

“Really?”

As soon as I handed him the baton and told him to hurry up and make it, Noh Chang-hoon grabbed my shoulder.

I suddenly looked at him asking why I was like this, and I felt like I knew what was going on.

This guy is worried that I won’t be able to handle him properly.

“Am I an asshole? Are you swinging this and getting hit in the back of the head?”

“…….It’s more surprising that you get hit in the back with a pair of nunchucks, not a nunchuk or a three-pointed stick.”

“Then just make it for me. Since I have some time left, I’ll do some practice.”

“Now, Yeji. remember. Pyeongon is a general’s weapon.”

“………….Pyeongon is a general weapon.”

“The advantages of striking were maximized, and the disadvantages of long weapons were also maximized.”

“Attack, no….. am I a kid?”

a little. No, I was incredibly embarrassed.

That’s because they’re treating it like a child thrown into the water.

To begin with, I lived well without any hardships.

I thought I would be able to quickly adapt and handle it well, but it was a bit like that.

However, Noh Chang-hoon persistently explained the pros and cons of Pyeongon.

It is not a weapon useful in a long-term war, but a weapon used to gain momentum momentarily.

It’s a weapon suitable for hit and run, so keep that in mind.

Anyway, he continued to explain things like that, then took a deep breath and said.

“It’s made with a mop handle, so don’t think about using the mop handle.”

“Okay.”

“When zombies come near you, don’t swing, but keep your distance. No, no.”

“Why.”

“I’ll make you something else too.”

Noh Chang-hoon held my hand and went outside.

Then, I started wandering around and collecting miscellaneous things.

Then, when he brought me stockings, I thought he was crazy.

But seeing what he had in mind as well, it seemed plausible.

It looked like a stone was put in a stocking, tied and secured, and then the other end was wrapped around a stick and tied.

“Now, this is a one-handed weapon that can be used at close range.”

“One hand?”

“Yes. It was made to be used by holding it with one hand, so keep that in mind.”

“Is it powerful? I think it should be at the level of a legal baton.”

“Because it’s suitable for breaking people’s heads. And this…”

“This?”

Noh Chang-hoon took out a strange stick and showed it to me.

It looked like a traitor, but there was something strange about it.

No, is it Siot?

“Tonpa. It would have been nice if I could steal what the police were using, but I just improvised it.”

“How do I write this?”

“If you just hold the handle, the stick will stick to your arm like this, right?”

“Yes.”

“With the feeling of blocking it. Because I haven’t mastered it. It feels like I’m wearing a shield.”

“Huh? uh. So, you mean to hold the pyeongon with one hand in your right hand and the tonpa with your left?”

“I understand well.”

Noh Chang-hoon nodded as if he was relieved.

It was definitely a situation where I should be happy, but something felt off.

Still, that feeling didn’t last long.

Above all, it is a weapon that Noh Chang-hoon personally made for me to use.

Besides, I only knew after swinging it a few times.

Although it was weak due to the lack of materials and the hasty construction, it was useful enough for the time being.

“Wow, I’m touched. Now give me something like this as a gift.”

“Yeji Because you and I were in the same boat. You have to go in a direction that hurts you as little as possible.”

“Wow……”

“Now I can’t even imagine being without you. We went through death a few times together.”

“Yeah, that’s it. We went in and out of Samdocheon together a few times.”

When I playfully held out my fist, Noh Chang-hoon smiled and struck my fist.

Then he went with his baton, saying that he would make a magic stick.

Meanwhile, I practiced my newly acquired weapons.

To be honest, it wasn’t that difficult, perhaps because the weapon I’ve been using so far is a baseball bat.

Would it be more accurate to say that I have a good sense of how to use it?

I wanted to swing my fists like a boxer, but Noh Chang-hoon told me not to.

At most, he showed only one jab, but he was shocked.

“Ultimate…..!”

“Stop being a jerk and practice more.”

“Well, I guess I decided not to swear. Are you angry?”

“Well, hu….. No…. Let us do whatever we want to do. Yes, I do everything.”

“Ah.”

Seeing his completely resigned appearance, I wondered if he had gone too far.

But thinking about it again, it wasn’t that bad.

That’s why the spirit is the most important thing to survive in the apocalypse.

Wouldn’t it be okay to be happy in small ways like this?

With that in mind, I said I would take a walk around and looked around.

I was going without really thinking about it, but by chance I came across a place to store bicycles.

“Hmm.”

The sign said that CCTV was installed so do not touch it.

There was even a poster posted saying that they had already been arrested several times by the police.

Perhaps that’s why, except for a few bicycles, there was nothing that could be called a security device.

Now that I think about it, I think I needed a bike.

“Hehe.”

Laughing came out automatically.

Perhaps because it is a fairly expensive bike, it did not rust even after being left unattended for a month.

Coincidentally, there was no line hanging.

I thought Noh Chang-hoon would like it if I took the lead based on the skills I had learned so far.

Even so, I often mumble at night that I’m worried about my bike.

So I guess I just need to steal two.

So I quickly picked a bike, got on it, and pedaled hard.

“Hey, Changhun! Look what I got!”

“I needed a bike, but I didn’t say I needed it now.”

“Ah, don’t do that. There’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to find the bike next time, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Then give me a compliment.”

When I got off the bike and stretched out my chest, Noh Chang-hoon smiled cutely.

Then he walked over to me and patted my head.

It was unexpected. To be honest, I thought you would just say you did a good job.

More than that, I felt something strange as my head was being stroked.

I didn’t feel bad directly, but something was there.

Still, I asked you to praise me, but you told me to put my hands away, right?

So, I stayed still for a while as I stroked him.

“I’m going to make it again, so bring another one.”

“Huh? uh. I understand.”

“What is that lame reaction.”

“No.”

There was a feeling that I couldn’t put into words.

So, it’s similar to friendship or camaraderie, but it goes a bit further than that.

It was tickling my chest. First of all, it is not love. Absolutely not.

When I thought about it, I realized what this was. It is a sense of belonging.

Unlike when we first met, we are on equal footing.

That strong sense of belonging seemed to flatter me.

I wanted to shout out who I was, but I felt like I would get cursed.

So I just smiled and went to where the bike was.

After bringing another machine, I took a break while watching Noh Chang-hoon make the pyeongon.
