Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 134
Only Krnovel
Episode 134
69. Message from Space (3)
Melon Mask’s Space Shelter Plus Ultra consists of five main modules and one empty, spare module.
The simplified form is as follows:
Housing – Water Supply – Governance
(passage) space (passage)
Development – Preliminary – Work
As you can see, it has a hollow center like a donut and modules are connected along the edges.
The current location of the double melon mask is the housing module, and fortunately, the melon mask has control over the systems of the remaining modules within the housing module.
The system control we are talking about here refers to temperature control, ventilation, water supply, power supply, opening and closing of shutters, etc.
However, it is possible to control the work module where the escape rocket is located through another module, and you can access the terminal at the entrance of the work module only by using the master authentication key held by Melon Mask or by performing an approval action on the system terminals of all four modules.
This is a measure to prevent anyone who suddenly becomes homesick from escaping by riding the rocket without permission, as the rocket is the only means of returning to Earth in the task module.
Here, inside each module except for the residential and cultivation modules, there are former Melon Mask colleagues who have become zombies and are drifting in zero gravity space.
In the case of the work module, we cannot check the situation from the external module, but we know that when Melon Mask and Donald McGalley tried to escape from the work module on a rocket before evacuating to the residence module, they encountered zombies and gave up and escaped.
Each module has its own small shelter and food storage area to protect against the destruction or loss of other modules.
Each module is equipped with emergency food and drinking water of the highest quality, enough to last for more than three months, and there are also plenty of oxygen cans for the worst case scenario.
This means that just restoring one module can dramatically increase the lifespan of the Melon Mask.
A ton of feedback went into securing this first module, pouring in from thousands of users.
Knock knock
-23:45 until unblocked
I also commented, but unfortunately I was blocked.
The best opinions were buried without ever being heard.
Anyway, there is a noticeable problem.
There are too many captains.
As expected, Melon Mask also found out about this and posted a notice.
MELON_MASK: I appreciate your feedback, but I feel like I’m going overboard with the amount of comments. I appreciate everyone helping out, but please be a little more careful with your words. And I’ll use my staff to filter out any pranks.
You may have seen the Vivarians who applied for the live, but the friends called VIVA_BOT are not Ai. They are the friends who stayed at the company after the war ended and are thankful.
Was he really human?
Somehow I felt like there was some emotion coming out when you blocked me.
After a while, opinions that had passed the strict screening of the Viva bots began to appear in the central chat window that only those chosen by Melon Mask could use.
Jekyll: What if we used the shutter itself as a weapon? It’s strong enough to cut off a person’s leg, so wouldn’t it be easy to dismember a zombie?
desertfox: If it’s space, there must be a lot of oxygen tanks, right? Can’t you modify those into cattle guns? Like the weapon used by the killer in the old man’s country.
BongoXL: You said you had a drone? You can’t carry a heavy oxygen tank with a 16V battery, but isn’t it zero gravity there?
How about loading a drone with a cattle gun, sending it towards a zombie, and then remotely operating the cattle gun to blast a hole in the zombie’s head?
VexHexSex: This is the shutter method I mentioned earlier, but what if we reinforced it with something like a net?
If Melon Mask is in charge of manipulating the shutter, wouldn’t he be able to make a net in advance to prevent zombies from entering the shutter, then open the shutter to lure zombies into the net and crush them with the shutter?
mmmmmmmmm (Zombie Studies Authority) Zombies can’t use their strength on high slopes.
There are quite a few high-quality opinions coming up.
It’s actually better than I thought.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that zero gravity is a battlefield I have never experienced before.
Moreover, our hunters are beings with fighting power that is on a level higher than that of all humans, who kill zombies, mutations, and monsters with only their own strength and skills.
Zombies can be killed while dancing, just like Cheon Yeong-jae did.
So, from the perspective of a powerless ordinary person, is it inevitable that they will express opinions that are somewhat difficult to apply?
The idea I came up with was to attach a kind of rocket that sprays oxygen to the axe and blast it at the zombies. It’s like a space version of the rocket axe that my mentor, Jang Gi-young, designed.
MELON MASK: Thanks for the shutter and netting on the cattle gun. I’ll give it a try.
It’s exciting.
World-famous celebrities expressing gratitude, struggling, and fighting for survival right before your eyes.
While he was working, he took out one of the pemmicans he had made in the fall, made it into porridge with water from the water heater, and put a spoonful in his mouth.
It doesn’t taste good, but it feels like it provides some nutrients.
After having a leisurely meal and grinding Dragon’s coffee beans, the communicator rang.
It’s Rebecca’s, not Defender’s.
“Skeleton!”
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“Now! Viva! Apocalypse! Are you watching?”
“huh.”
“Why doesn’t Skeleton have an opinion?”
“I?”
“Skeleton is really strong. He can even hunt monsters by himself. When I told the American hunters that I hunt monsters by myself, they all told me not to talk nonsense!”
“Well, well. It’s luck.
“It’s not luck! Skeleton is really strong!”
Suddenly there was noise and the voice changed.
“Skeleton!”
It’s Suu’s voice.
Sudo, who is usually calm and even has a cynical temperament, is unusually excited for Melon Mask’s space show, as if he is a kid.
“Come on, Skeleton, give me your opinion! You can give me a juicy opinion, right? Come on, help Melon Mask! Who knows? Melon Mask might be saved thanks to Skeleton.”
“ah……”
The heart is like a chimney.
But how can I help you if I’ve been blocked?
I couldn’t say that I was blocked in front of Chamasu.
“The main character always appears last.”
“Like a protagonist who hides his power?”
“Oh, yeah! That’s right.”
“Okay! Skeleton! I’ll be waiting!”
The communication was cut off and for a moment he stared blankly into space.
Well, it’s not too late to think about it later.
Even among the opinions that have come out right now, there are some that are superior to mine.
Instead of being engrossed in one’s own opinions, one of the few proper teachings Jang Gi-yeong gave us is to recognize, acknowledge, and even absorb the excellent opinions of others.
As expected, in the central opinion chat room, people with more diverse knowledge and experience in areas I was unaware of were putting their heads together to help Melon Mask survive.
Ameicus: The oxygen tanks shown are underpressurized. Even if you try to make a cattle gun and connect it, all it’ll do is cause a bruise. We’d better find another way.
Defender: Why not just throw them in there and let them fumble around without having to go through the hassle of setting up a net? You can tie their limbs so they can’t move, then pull them in with a hook or something and use the shutter to cut off their necks? And you can’t use electricity, though, because that would be dangerous.
Kuntakinte’89: If you’re talking about something like a bola, then maybe it’s okay. Even if it’s zero gravity, wouldn’t centrifugal force still be applied? I’ll take a picture of the bola principle with my camera and upload it. I’m not very good with computers.
A lot of people are holding up the melon mask.
Of course, the melon mask is not something that is only supported by someone.
He also conveys to us in real time, across the universe, countless distances, how fierce and desperate life is, by sending us his will to live and to live.
As a result, the melon mask that we are struggling with now is, in turn, another support of hope that is supporting us.
The plan ultimately adopted by Melon Mask was Defender’s plan to use the net like a bola.
To explain in detail, open the shutter while keeping the net wide open and throw it at a zombie floating in zero gravity. If the zombie gets caught in it, it will struggle and be wrapped in the net, preventing it from moving.
The plan is to send out a drone with a tether attached, tow the zombie with the drone’s attached grippers, place it on the shutter, and then crush the zombie by striking the shutter like a guillotine.
By killing just one zombie, Melon Mask can gain at least 3 months of survival and health.
If you can overcome malnutrition and regain your strength, you may be able to more actively reclaim the lost fields called Plus Ultra.
Rustle rustle-
In front of everyone, Melon Mask created a hunting tool.
MELON_MASK: How is it? Does it look okay?
He frequently asked for our opinions and helped us with the melon mask with appropriate advice from relevant experts.
A drone with a net to tie up the zombies and a lifeline for spacemen to pull the zombies out – a cable is attached to it.
In front of thousands, if not millions, of people from all over the world, Melon Mask demonstrated his net throwing skills.
MELON_MASK: Oh, really? You mean, instead of like this, throw the entire net, like one surface, with the zombie in the center? Okay. I’ll try again.
Melon Mask’s throws are getting better and better.
At the same time, our expectations also grew.
Although I had no part in that scene, just cheering him on at that scene gave me a strong excitement and desire that I hadn’t felt in years.
Viva! Apocalypse! Good buy.
MELON_MASK Okay, let’s get started. Everyone, please wish me success. Well, I can’t help it if I die here, but before that, I’d like to thank everyone in advance. Viva! Leon! Thank you all!
Before going into battle, Melon Mask revealed the internal CCTV screens installed in each module across the live screen.
Six screens appeared.
The interior of the housing, power generation, water supply, cultivation, and spare modules, and the entrance to the work module.
The work module’s interior was not visible from the inside due to its nature.
However, in the center of the doorway that appeared in the screen that captured the entrance, there was a round, opaque window that allowed you to see inside, so you could see something moving inside. As of now, nothing can be found inside the opaque window of the work module.
But all the remaining modules have owners.
Four zombies floating through space.
And the problematic mutation sloth, “Bumpy”.
Bumpy remained motionless, hanging by his sharp claws from the ceiling frame of a fully automated crop cultivation facility.
“……hmm.”
big.
It’s quite big.
I think it’s probably well over 3m.
And those sharp, curved claws.
Even if you call it a sloth, a person with that size and those vicious claws would be crushed to pieces.
Maybe it will literally be torn to shreds?
There is actually one zombie that is torn to pieces and is struggling with only the upper body remaining.
A female zombie wandering around the empty spaces of the spare module.
However, the rest of the zombies, although it is difficult to see their exact condition due to the dark lighting, appear to have their corpses preserved intact. At least their limbs are intact.
“Okay, let’s begin!”
Melon Mask puts on his spacesuit and sets off on the adventure of a lifetime.
The shutter opened, revealing the sight of a water supply room filled with water in a transparent tank, bubbling with bubbles.
The zombie was floating around in space, floating like a water droplet, round like the Earth, leaking out of the tank.
He didn’t find the melon, but for some reason I felt an inexplicable sense of unease when I saw the zombie.
“……hmm”
Melon threw a net towards it.
It was awkward at first.
Unlike practice, the net was not spread out properly.
Melton quickly grabbed it and threw the net at the zombie again.
There was no need to exert force.
Because of the nature of zero gravity, even if you throw it lightly, it won’t fall to the floor.
The net flew slowly as if in slow motion and wrapped around the zombie.
Perfect hit.
But the zombie doesn’t move at all.
Melon Mask boldly stepped out of the shutter and shouted.
“James! James! I’m confessing now! I! Slept with your wife!”
The zombie turned its head and bared its teeth.
That’s what he reacted to.
Soon the bastard was flailing his whole body, trying to grab the melon.
Even the professor cannot tell whether the mad writhing is due to a confession of adultery or a zombie instinct.
The important thing is that the zombies became prey, perfectly entangled in spider webs, just as the Defender had predicted.
Melon Mask threw the drone.
It’s weak like a net, but it aims in the right direction.
As the drone made contact with the flailing zombie, Melon used the remote control to move the hook connected to the drone, fixed the net, and pulled it towards the shutter. The sight of the zombie moving towards the shutter without moving at all was, in a way, dreamlike.
The zombie reached the edge of the shutter.
Melon spoke to the zombie in a sad voice.
“James. You’re fired.”
The shutter is closed.
Woozikkun!
The heavy shutter that had cut off Melton’s leg now crushed the zombie’s head like a potato.
HashireV4: I did it!
Anonymous 101: Awesome!
dongtangmom: Good yum!
Defender: Well done!
Thisaki: Wow!!!!
COOKIEMONSTER123 : Good job!
Terry F: Alright!
Madisonbridge: Melon! Great job!
mmmmmmmmm : Kyaaaaah!!!!
The chat window that had been watching with bated breath was suddenly filled with messages that almost burst the chat window.
I also wanted to add my own comments, but unfortunately I couldn’t.
Maybe that’s why.
Unlike others, I wasn’t overly excited, but slowly opened the shutter to check the corpse of a zombie that had collapsed.
The first time I saw a zombie, I felt a little uneasy.
I think I have a little idea what the cause is.
When Melon retrieved the net from the zombie whose head had exploded, I fully understood the nature of the discomfort.
The zombie corpse is in very good condition, except for the tofu.
It’s hard to believe that I was the victim of that vicious mutation.
I can’t hear it.
It’s human work.
Unless that mutation has a penchant for killing people with just the right amount of violence.
This was when I tried to contact the Defender to tell him this fact.
“?”
Something strange appeared in the live screen window.
This is what happened on the CCTV screen at the entrance to the work module.
A dark figure appeared in the opaque circular window illuminating the work module where no one was present, and soon took on a concrete shape. Surprisingly, what appeared beyond the blurry window was the face of a living person.
