And then I started checking for a while.

The first thing to be inspected was the red road.

Honestly, if you were just going to wander around Busan, there was no need to check further.

All you have to do is grind the sharp surface with a grinder to make it smooth.

But I was planning to travel around a lot for a while, so of course I needed some additional gear.

First of all, the load capacity had to be increased and durability had to be improved.

It was also necessary to not be pushed back even if you collide with at least five or six zombies.

Of course, since I had no knowledge of welding or anything like that, the engineering students had to guide me.

Still, everyone put a lot of effort into remodeling it.

The framework of the log was further strengthened, and the empty space inside was remodeled to accommodate storage.

The tires were not actually used on bicycles, but were taken from car tires and glued on.

That wasn’t enough, so we connected several chains and cogs to increase strength, and added something similar to a sidecar on the side.

After the renovation was completed, the building became one floor larger.

Previously, they were small or medium-sized motorcycles, but now it is no exaggeration to say that they are large.

“… ”

In addition, the car body was painted red to make it hard to see even if there was blood, so it was literally the second coming of red clay.

So the name was changed to Jeokto.

Isn’t it a bit harsh to say that you kill your master?

Above all, if I were the person I am today, I would be worthy of the names Guan Yu or Lu Bu.

To be honest, if you defeated all of those zombies and came back alive, it would be a perfect fit for people, right?

“You were excited.”

“Then you don’t wear them? In the past few days, my Rottweiler has transformed into something wonderful.”

“Well, I guess so.”

I quietly went shopping regardless of whether Kang Si-woo looked at me with sullen eyes or not.

No, it would be a bit strange to call it shopping.

Since it was a robbery of a nearby clothing store, if you ask me, was it stealing?

But the owner of the clothing store who was talking about it had become a zombie, so I couldn’t do anything about it.

“It looks like you’re going to be wandering around for quite some time. I had to allow it… ”

“Heng, I wanted to try a bicycle trip.”

“Don’t stumble and die, have a nice trip.”

“Yes, yes.”

Regardless of whether Kang Si-woo did it or not, he continued to walk around and collect supplies.

Of course, a few days, no. As I had to spend several weeks living outside, there were many things to take care of.

Starting with the clothes you are packing now, things like feminine products, pillows and blankets?

But, fortunately, it was easier to obtain than food.

These materials were planned to be organized one by one and placed in red soil.

And now there was no problem in leaving.

There is food and drinking water. There are supplies that can be used elsewhere.

I learned how to read a map by working hard with Kang Seong-hwa, so I was fully prepared.

But there was still a little more missing.

Just a weapon.

The baton is an iron club that weighs 5 kg.

This was useful against zombies. No, it was so useful that it was overflowing.

The weight may not seem like much, but the bat we usually use is lighter than 1kg.

But there’s an article saying someone died with a bat like that, right?

The baton is 5 times as heavy as that bat. Of course, since it is 5 times the weight, the destructive power will also be 5 times higher.

I’ve never actually calculated it, but in reality there was no need to use any weapons other than the baton.

I’m already used to blunt weapons, and the only drawback is the distance…

Engineering students also rolled out this bag and made a new sack.

However, I felt like I needed to get another weapon, so I quickly brought in Lee A-young, who was talking to an engineering student.

Since two people are better than one, we can put our heads together and think about whether there is a good weapon.

“That bat… Isn’t it all over?”

“I lose that from my hand often. I need a secondary weapon that I can use when I don’t have that.”

“Do you need a sidearm too, Yeji?”

Lee Ah-young, who was next to me, asked.

It seemed like if he had that much strength, even his bare hands were a weapon.

Honestly, with my strength, even my bare hands can become a great weapon.

However, several conditions were necessary for the supernatural power to be activated.

And it was safe to say that both of those conditions actually did not exist.

One condition is that I become near-dead.

To be exact, it was when my body recognized that I couldn’t hold on and win, so I had to kill myself before that happened.

Honestly, this was the easiest condition to trigger.

All you have to do is get beaten to death and then turn it around at the end.

However, the problem was that the stronger I became, the less likely I was to fall into a near-death state.

It may or may not only be activated if it is beaten more severely than when its superpower was first unleashed.

In fact, you had to be a masochist to use it properly.

Because it was really unusable unless it was at that level.

No, what about people? Even though I was grabbed by a 5m tall monster and thrown against the wall, I survived.

It wasn’t something that was thrown normally, but it fell and hit the signboard hard.

Because it’s an ability that won’t turn on even in situations where I would have died a long time ago if it weren’t for me…

“Yes, Ahyoung.”

“Yes?”

“You have to act as if your sister is going to die at any moment to gain super strength, right?”

“I know that.”

“But now, I don’t think she will die even if she falls from the rooftop.”

“Ah… ”

“Of course, it doesn’t necessarily have to be in a near-dead state, but I don’t know the conditions yet.”

I remembered the last time zombies attacked.

I remember even back then, I was in a normal state and had super strength.

I didn’t know if it was just that I got superpowers when I got angry, or what kind of feelings I should have.

I guess only time will tell…

“In the end, it means regenerative power and a meat shield.”

“Ahaha… ”

“I like you, hey. There is also technology.”

Recently, Lee Ah-young has been rapidly showing herself as a saintly woman from the original.

The same goes for insisting on only white clothes, even though it would be difficult to wash them.

The same goes for not getting a single filth on your clothes while dealing with zombies.

In addition, the weapon was changed to a sickle instead of a spear, and every time I saw it, I had a strange feeling that she was like a saint from the original.

Last time, Kang Si-woo also grabbed the hilt of the sword for a moment.

But honestly, if you see them fighting, it’s worth it.

“Ayoung is that you? uh? You said your hobby is mowing the lawn, right?”

“Yes. When I mow the lawn, I can be there without thinking about anything.”

“No matter how much you practice while mowing the lawn, you can’t kill someone with a bamboo scythe or a Korean sickle… I’m jealous, really.”

“Yeji, you fight quite well too.”

“They just ignorantly push it into the body. If you hold on until he falls down first, you win.”

It was always like that.

First of all, the method is to use the body to fight and win by swinging the baton.

“So, no weapons that require skill. Something that can be used lightly.”

“But, there’s nothing like that, right?”

“Tsk. Is there anything other than knuckles? ”

“Ahaha… ”

Lee Ah-young smiled awkwardly.

I came here because I wanted to help, but I guess that’s because I couldn’t be of much help.

I opened my mouth to find out how he was able to fight so well when things were already like this.

“Ayoungah.”

“Yes, Yeji unnie.”

“You were just a student before this happened, right?”

“Yes. But, why?”

“Do you have a certain mindset? My sister pushes her body in first and looks at me.”

“I think I understand what you mean. I like zombies… ”

“Yes, yes.”

“I think it’s grass.”

“… What?”

“Grass, lawn. Tall grass. So, should I cut off the waist to make it shorter or cut off the head at once?”

“… ”

Lee Ah-young smiled really brightly.

Of course, it’s just a metaphor and you don’t normally think of it like this.

Still, cutting down a human-shaped zombie like grass is a bit…

I was scared because it felt like I was slowly giving up on humanity.

So, just as I was about to agree and run away, Lee Ah-young caught me and said she had a question.

“I’ve been curious about this for a long time… ”

“Huh? huh… Tell me.”

“Where did you get that?”

“This?”

Lee Ah-young asked, pointing at the baton.

Now that I think about it, it seems like I’ve been paying a lot of attention to this since a long time ago.

… Is it because you are a Christian?

Speaking of ‘dharma baton’ is a Buddhist term, so it could have been uncomfortable.

No, looking at his expression, I don’t think that’s the case.

“I know a sister who carries something like that.”

“… What?”

“My sister lives alone in Jangyu, and her father is a blacksmith.”

“Uh, uh.”

“My sister was planning to earn a little more money, retire, and then take over the family business.”

“Yes.”

“But now that she lives alone, it’s dangerous, right?”

“Maybe… Right?”

“So, he made a pair and kept them to threaten them.”

“Wait, a pair?”

I vaguely remembered it.

In the past, during the part about Yahweh’s paradise, there was a woman that Kang Si-woo seduced once.

Their father was a blacksmith, and they both suffered the same hardships in the name of faith.

And you said she definitely had two bats hanging from her belt?

There were no details about the material or anything like that, and the woman also had a minor role.

Did you say that he was assassinated while acting as an informer?

Still, I remembered one name.

“By any chance is that older sister’s name Gong Gong Seul?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“… I think my life was saved by that person…?”

Now, Adari has finally hit the nail on the head.

Last time, when I was helping Captain Han, Noh Chang-hoon said that he saved me.

However, no matter how much Noh Chang-hoon is, there is no way he could open the apartment door and go inside.

Moreover, the handwriting on the note left there.

I know Noh Chang-hoon’s handwriting because I saw it, but it was very different from that.

Above all, that bastard is so bad at cooking, there’s no way he could make kimbap, right?

“By any chance, does she hate the military?”

“My younger brother went to the military and got injured. Fortunately, I didn’t have any disability left, but since then, I kind of hate it.”

“Ah, ah. Hey, is it like this?”

After briefly explaining the situation, Lee Ah-young’s expression brightened.

I was very close with that sister, but we stopped hearing from her and I suddenly showed up with her belongings, so she was anxious.

He said it didn’t seem to be the worst situation he had thought, and it was obvious that he would have gone to the southern part of Busan.

“If it’s okay, could you go over there and tell me how I’m doing?”

“Of course, huh? Are you and I normal?”

“And you can ask me to make something using my name.”

“Yes, yes. I just happened to need a heavier bat.”

There were so many places to go.

I went to Haeundae once and then to Nam-gu, Busan.

Still, there were no complaints. It felt good because it had been a long time since I was alone.

After a few more days of maintenance, the trip began with greetings at the front gate and leaving.
