Fortunately, Kang Si-woo knew very well what kind of condition I was in.

Without any further explanation, he immediately said that he would just meditate.

It’s not like I don’t have enough stamina to sleep anyway, so I just need to lie down or sit for a while and that’s it.

So I said that if I was going to lie down or sit, the floor here would be fine.

“If something happens to Yeji, you might have to hit her hard.”

“Ah?”

… I was dumbfounded when the strange sound suddenly returned.

No, I don’t know if I have to watch it because I’m sleepwalking.

What does it mean to hit in moderation?

“Oh, didn’t Changhoon tell you?”

“… Didn’t you? I don’t know what you’re talking about… I wouldn’t have done it.”

“Well, you said that if Yeji gets too aggressive, you can just hit her in moderation.”

“… What?”

Perhaps because my expression was too harsh, Kang Si-woo started explaining with a perplexed expression.

So, my sleepwalking usually ends at the level of just walking around.

Now, while he’s walking around, if something gets in his way, he kicks it or swings his arm, and there are times when it gets worse.

It may not have been intentional, but did you say that he acted strongly as if he was trying to destroy those around him?

“You said that if you roll over properly at times like that, you will fall asleep quietly.”

“… You guys are not me.”

“They said you could tie your arms or legs with twine and untie them before you get up.”

“No, what kind of monster am I? Hey, even monsters wouldn’t treat me like that!”

“… Yeji must be very strong.”

“… ”

Come to think of it, it seemed like Noh Chang-hoon used to frown when he woke up in the morning.

He said it while he was holding on to something, so I thought he was fighting zombies.

Now that I look at it, I think I may have hit it there.

If your strength is as strong as mine… Even if you kick the air without thinking, the person you kicked will be seriously injured.

When I made an expression of approval, Kang Si-woo smiled awkwardly.

And I realized there must be something else going on there that I didn’t know about.

Kang Si-woo didn’t want to say anything, but when I told him to, he opened his mouth.

“So, I can’t sleep without a headset when I sleep?”

“Is your sleepwalking getting worse? Still, I said that wasn’t the case. So… ”

“Yes, it must be because I wear a headset so reflexively.”

“They also said that if you wear the headset properly when falling asleep, you need to be very careful.”

“Grunt… ”

“And again… He often talks in his sleep asking for a hug, and even when he does that, he asks me to give him something to hold?”

“… Why don’t you just tell me to hug you directly, damn it.”

It wasn’t some kind of kid, but it was quite embarrassing to do that while sleeping.

To begin with, not only did I never ask people to hug me, I didn’t do that often even at home.

So, the fact that I did that was a bit like that.

It was fortunate that only a few people seemed to know about this.

If the rumor had spread around campus, I probably wouldn’t have been able to come out from behind Noh Chang-hoon’s back.

“Oh, by the way, I told you to give me a soft object, not a hard one. There is something like a blanket.”

“… Damn it, what is the reason for that!”

“Did you say that since you are so strong, you would destroy something like Lady Bamboo? I think you did.”

‘… ”

“Similarly, they said that hugging them in person is also something they can’t do.”

“… When I get back to campus, I’ll have to beat up Noh Chang-hoon first.”

“Why? Is it because you told me this?”

“No, not that! Are you hugging me directly!? This bastard… ”

I gritted my teeth.

Of course, he wouldn’t have done something very strange while I was asleep.

Still, I got angry when I thought about how he might have been giggling to himself in a certain way.

And with no desire to sleep, I deliberately got down on my knees and sat down politely.

It seemed like it was time to clean my weapon, so I took out things I could clean from my bag.

This does not mean that both the Buddhist baton and the Cheonmachong do not require maintenance at all.

If there is blood or flesh on it, there will be problems with hygiene or anything else.

So, I focused on cleaning my weapons at the pump near my house and going back and forth between the house.

It goes beyond just wiping it clean, to the point where you can see his face.

All I could think about was that I would never sleep.

You can’t sleep and then look ugly again.

No joke, I was planning on getting a sleeping bag when I got back to campus.

And I will sleep inside it all the time.

All I wanted to do was to never let him sleepwalk or anything like that again.

As I was polishing my weapon like that, time flew by.

I was so concentrated that Lee Sang, who had brought the meal, just put down the table and ran away.

And after a few more hours, I had all my weapons cleaned up.

Both the Buddhist baton and the Cheonmachong could have been used as mirrors with some exaggeration.

“… What should I do now?”

I muttered as I put down the baton and the Cheonmachong.

There were still a few hours left before daybreak, so there was nothing to do in the meantime.

If I were the type of person who likes people, I would have gone out like Kang Si-woo…

It was uncomfortable in many ways to talk to people more than necessary.

So, I was resting my chin and thinking about what to do, when Kang Si-woo suddenly ran into the house.

“What, what’s going on! Has there been an attack?”

“Half right and half wrong! Not on our side… It’s the Jinju Citizens’ Union.”

“… What?”

There was only a brief moment of doubt as to whether that was the strongest.

Kang Si-woo is not the kind of person to lie in a situation like this, so I grabbed my weapon and ran out of the house straight away.

I went to the place where people gathered, and the further I went, the more unusual the atmosphere felt.

After hearing the story from the scouts, I was having a hard time.

Likewise, the old man who vouched for the story of the scouts and the people of Hamodan who were somewhat familiar.

And even Ahn Hae-jin and the saints add their opinions with serious expressions.

I joined the crowd with Kang Si-woo and took a closer look at the situation.

“What exactly is going on?”

Kang Si-woo asked for a detailed explanation.

It seemed like they had heard that a scouting party had arrived and had come to pick me up.

Soon after, Lee Sang briefly explained the situation.

It was said that this morning, the scouting party was still patrolling the surrounding area in preparation for a zombie attack.

Then, when I headed toward the Jinju Citizens’ Union to fix the trap, I saw a fire on a nearby road.

And at that time, Hamodan also said that the atmosphere around the Jinju Citizens’ Union was strange.

The elites of Hamodan brought by the old man saw a group of zombies heading towards Jinju Citizens’ Union, and they also saw fire burning along the road.

… At this point, the fire was out and only smoke was coming out, but it was clear that something had happened.

In this situation, there was only one reason to start a fire, and that too quickly.

It’s an attack by zombies.

Everyone seemed to be vaguely aware of this, and everyone had a sad expression.

Of course, we gathered together knowing that the industrial complex or Hamodan would be attacked.

The idea was to attack first before being attacked.

I could not have imagined the development of the Jinju Citizens’ Union being attacked.

Above all, the Jinju Citizens’ Union was hated by all of them.

It is obvious how a place where people gathered to plunder the surrounding forces would appear to other normal forces.

So, it seemed like there were some people here who were thinking of leaving the Jinju Citizens’ Union alone.

You can see it just by looking at it. People who use their brains to turn other people’s losses into their own gain.

One good thing was that there seemed to be fewer people thinking that way.

To be honest, we don’t know how many zombies there are, so it would be better if there were more people to fight.

Even if me, Han Hae-jin, and Kang Si-woo were out of the question, that would be the case.

Especially since we have to be prepared for quite a bit of damage if we are surrounded by zombies.

Lee Sang thought deeply and slowly began to ask the scouts various questions.

The old man and Kang Si-woo also took turns asking questions to the scouts.

To sum up what we found out, it was clear that the Jinju Citizens’ Union was attacked by zombies.

And seeing as there was no more fire on other roads, it seemed like zombies had already infiltrated inside.

Still, since the sound of gunfire continues to be heard, it means that it is not a completely serious situation where the place has been taken over by zombies.

“You can think of it as a street fight.”

After saying that, Lee Sang let out a small curse.

It’s true that the Jinju Citizens’ Union are ugly people, but that doesn’t mean they’re any more hateful than zombies.

It was obvious that if they collapsed, the industrial complex or the Hamo complex would be next.

Knowing that, Lee Sang seemed conflicted.

If the Jinju Citizens’ Union is moderately weakened, there is no need to worry any more.

It seemed like the old man was having the same concerns.

But their worries did not last long.

Now, there is one more extravagant force involved here.

Even if we tried to build up our pride here, compared to the power of Busan, neither Gongdan nor Hamodan were that strong.

In that case, he seemed to have decided that it would be better to solve the problem neatly and make a good appearance, so he encouraged people, both old and new, to fight.

Since everyone knew that it was their turn next anyway, no one objected to that opinion.

After leaving only the bare minimum force to protect the community, everyone began to march to Jinju.

It could be said to be the beginning of the so-called Jinju recapture operation.
