◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

In front of the underpass.

It sounded like a subwoofer.

The air vibrated with growls.

I needed to secure an escape route.

Faint sounds mixed with the growls.

Not from inside the underpass.

I turned and looked into the distance.

Somewhere down the road.

A sound like a wolf howling…

…no.

A man’s scream.

…The sound stopped.

He must be dead.

…The Cockroaches were also raiding.

The easiest targets for them were the neighborhood convenience stores and small supermarkets.

This area was picked clean.

I cleared it out, and Hoon swept it clean.

We were in this area.

Judging by the fact they spied on the boarding house, they were keeping tabs on us.

They weren’t coming here because of me.

Then their only options were the mid-sized supermarket and the surrounding alleys and stores.

They were working hard.

Judging by the scream, someone was bitten.

But seeing them beat the bitten person to death, they were also becoming more disciplined.

Right.

Survive there.

Killing each other.

If you come this way, you die.

I chuckled, put my hand on my sword hilt, and went down into the underpass.

Rrrr-

The air vibrated.

Probably amplified by the enclosed space.

I slowly descended, hugging the wall.

I didn’t know the layout.

I reached the bottom.

I could see paths and stairs leading to the other side of the street and across the road.

No human beasts nearby.

Since I could hear them, they were definitely here.

Lots of them.

I leaned against the wall and looked around.

A sign pointing towards the subway.

And beyond it, the underground shopping center.

Bookstores, cafes, shops.

An open area like a park.

Benches, and a small fountain.

Covered with vines.

They were there.

A massive number.

The residential complex’s underground parking lot and the hypermarket were nothing compared to this.

The usual crowd, combined with those who fled here.

And the subway.

Even during the day, some sections were always crowded.

I took a deep breath.

I needed a place to hide.

The bookstore was open, obstructed.

The cafe, no good.

The other stores, brightly lit and open.

The best place, the restroom.

Secluded, winding hallway, stalls.

Was there one nearby?

…Yes.

But… 50 meters away.

Quite far.

“…Damn it.”

Then I had no choice.

Lure, kill, and make my way there.

Once I cleared the path, I could use the restroom as a base.

…Good.

Then, the ones blocking the path.

I left the wall and walked down the hallway.

After a few steps, I took a deep breath.

“Come here!”

My voice boomed, echoing.

Kraw!

They turned their heads.

They roared.

They snarled.

The air trembled.

I drew my swords.

Shing-

They charged.

They ran, tripped, trampled.

They climbed, collided, fell.

They thrashed.

A wave of human flesh.

Terrifying speed, crazed faces.

Kraw!

I gripped my swords and watched.

My head lowered.

Knees bent.

Arms spread.

The swords gleamed.

Blinding.

Kraw!

The sound hit the walls.

Echoing.

The ground shook.

Kraw!

They were coming.

…They were here!

I smiled and leaped.

I reached the entrance, grabbed the railing, and breathed.

“…Hoo.”

“Krawlrrup!”

A rumbling like an earthquake.

The sound continued.

They tripped, collided, fell.

A wall of bodies.

I watched them, then turned.

Blood dripped.

I’d rest and go back in.

10 Accelerate charges used.

Too many stairs.

The closest place…

…the boarding house.

Felt like ages ago.

I wiped the blood and swung the swords.

Whoosh-splatter!

Shing-

I sheathed them and returned.

Buzz-click.

The stairs.

The clothesline.

Everything the same.

I climbed the stairs.

Clothes…

…tsk.

I took them off and showered.

3 levels gained.

Into Health.

3 raids a day.

I wanted to try that.

Current Health: 75.

Level…

…51?

The underpass…

…my next target.

I showered, went to the rooftop, and lit a cigarette.

A good vantage point.

I could see the mid-sized supermarket alley.

A nice view.

I could monitor the Cockroaches.

…If they came closer, I would act.

I didn’t want anyone to get hurt.

I flicked the cigarette butt away.

I looked at the building.

Were they watching me?

I couldn’t see them.

I chuckled.

This was my base camp.

Oh. I forgot the charger.

44% battery.

I should conserve it.

I went inside.

I ate snacks and then messaged Soo-hyun.

[Soo-hyun. I’m at the boarding house.]

[Huh? What are you doing there?]

[Lying down.]

[Lol]

[Nothing happened?]

[No, we’re about to have dinner. Everyone’s on the rooftop. Come here.]

[I have to go back down. Enjoy your meal.]

[Are there a lot of zombies down there?]

[A shitload.]

[ㅜㅜ… Have dinner with us, oppa. Everyone wants you to come.]

…Cute.

[I’ll come later.]

[ㅜㅜ Can’t you come now?]

[^^]

Meat… good.

But I wasn’t going.

…I’d be too aroused after.

I looked down.

…Just rest.

10 p.m.

Stats fully charged. I put on the blood-soaked clothes and the lifting belt.

Late at night.

Stars.

I went downstairs.

I looked around.

“…”

A figure in the distance.

By the utility pole.

It disappeared.

…Should I follow?

No.

Those Cockroaches were watching.

They were wary of me.

Good. Let them be.

I walked to the underpass.

And went down.

30 bodies.

I stepped over them and inhaled.

I drew my swords.

Shing-

And shouted,

“Come here!”

KRAAAAAW!

The air vibrated.
