Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 147

Episode 147
Going to get support and finding out it won’t help is worse than not going at all.
Therefore, when applying for support, you should always have an excessively strong force.
Otherwise, rather than helping our cornered allies, we will end up holding them back.
It is impossible to have sufficient power in the current situation.
I don’t know if I could pull out my hair and use the clone technique like Son Oh-gong, but right now I’m the only one.
You could mobilize Valentine, but in a big monster battle, an inexperienced fighter is better than nothing.
As a last resort, I tried to maintain communication and hear as much detail as possible about the situation.
“There are five new species, and many zombies. The zombies are no problem, but the new species are impervious to bullets. No matter how many times you knock them down, they quickly rise up, emitting black smoke.”
“The location is an old wedding hall. Do you know the Sky Temple wedding hall?”
“The team leader was bitten in the leg. The leg was not amputated, but the thigh was bitten and the bleeding is severe. We quickly stopped the bleeding, but the body temperature is low and is dropping quickly. We called a helicopter, but it seems it will take a while to depart because the temperature is so low.”
“The current situation is relatively stable. After hearing that they can’t climb the slope, they made a makeshift ramp on the stairs and are holding out.”
The person in charge of communications on the search party’s side was not Awaken, but a soldier who introduced himself as Sergeant Kim.
Judging from the way he speaks calmly even in situations where his ears feel as if they’re about to burst from gunfire and screams, he must have been a soldier who worked on the front lines.
He added.
“Oh, and that white grub. Anyone killed by it turns into a zombie.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, right now my colleague is down there with the monsters trying to kill us.”
As they exchanged communications, the gunfire grew closer.
Across the pale street, the towering ceremony hall building is visible.
It was a high-class wedding hall frequented by many rich people.
The reason I remember that name is because Kim Da-ram said several times that he wanted to get married at that wedding hall.
As a result, we ended up getting married in a hotel ceremony hall that was slightly less popular than that.
“How about now?”
I looked around the wedding hall and checked the situation again.
“That’s right. We’re still surrounded and they’re trying to kill us.”
“How much ammo do we have left?”
“I have one magazine left. The rest will probably be the same.”
“Okay, just hold on a little longer.”
“Where are you now?”
“It’s in front of the wedding hall, but I have something to point out.”
“But the current situation is…….”
“This isn’t a problem that I can solve alone. I’m looking for another way.”
“Another way?”
At that moment, Song Yu-jin was heard saying something over the speaker.
The moment I hear her voice, for some reason, I feel a little bit of energy rise inside me.
I haven’t heard that he’s dead, but it’s another matter to confirm that he’s alive.
“It won’t take long.”
“All right.”
I ended the call and looked around.
Like everywhere else, it is a frozen street covered in snow and without any signs of life.
It was an ordinary scene that I might have just passed by if it weren’t for the occasional gunshots ringing out from the wedding hall. I saw the buildings.
First, I looked for a building that was tall, in good condition, had easy observation from the roof, and was no more than 10 stories high.
A ten-story building with yellowed signs that said “Comprehensive Prep Course” or “Medical School Course” all over it caught my eye.
As I entered the wide open door, the foul stench of corpses assaulted my nostrils.
Certainly, the smell of a rotting human being is terrible.
It’s been a long time since he died, and even in this cold that numbs most of our senses, his aftertaste is still strong.
I ran up the emergency stairs to the rooftop in one go.
There were also areas in the middle where the fire shutters were closed,
bang!
Nothing can stop me from holding the key called a gun.
Around the 8th floor, the stench of corpses became extremely strong, and sure enough, in the open hallway, a mummified corpse’s arm was sticking out in front of the emergency exit. It doesn’t really matter what happened to them or what killed them.
thud!
As I kicked open the last firmly closed door, a cold wind of minus 25 degrees Celsius swept over my body.
The temperature of the hot pack placed in the pocket near the heart dropped.
After unpacking and replacing the new hot pack, I stood on the rooftop railing and looked out over the surroundings.
There is definitely a lot to see.
In terms of height alone, the 25-story officetel building in the back would be the tallest, but that’s too tall.
The reason I looked for a 10-story building is because buildings below the 10th floor have fire escapes installed.
Luckily, this building also has one on the roof.
Perhaps because it is a school building, the building owner seems to have paid more attention to it.
I tried hanging on lightly.
It’s sturdy.
If you look at the back, you can see the trustworthy mark “made in Korea.”
When I find what I’m looking for, I need to respond immediately.
That’s the kind of battlefield it is.
I hate to admit it, but this time I want to thank m9.
If we hadn’t known that the monster was weak to slopes, both I and the search party would have had a harder time.
“They’re coming again!”
“Damn it! The zombie is touching the plank!”
“Shoot the zombies! Don’t shoot the monsters!”
“Ahhhhhh!”
The radio is turned on.
In normal times, it feels like a dire situation where you would drop everything and run, but right now, you must not move.
We share the situation with our allies, but we must complete the tasks that need to be done on our side.
In this dead, cold, silent city, there is only one thing I seek.
thud!
It is the beating of the monster that is the source of my hatred.
The waves were detected 250 meters away, in a narrow alley.
I immediately went down to the lower floor, opened the escape box, fixed the rope, pointed the escape box toward the bottom of the building, and then grabbed the rope and jumped down.
As I felt the irresistible call of gravity and the tingling sensation in my feet, along with the scenery changing at an unrealistic rate, I felt a familiar drowsiness for some reason, but just before I hit the ground, I grabbed the rope and slowed down, safely placing both feet on the ground.
The motorcycle is within reach.
Boooo …
I ran towards where the shock wave occurred.
thud!
Even in the midst of all this, shock waves occurred.
A desperate cry echoed through the radio, and soon Sergeant Kim’s urgent call was heard.
“Where are you?! They’re coming down the slope right now! The plywood can’t support their weight······”
“When I give the signal, shoot.”
“yes?!”
“The signal will come soon.”
Arrived at the alley.
“I can’t stand it anymore!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the gunshots ring out, the waves also increase in frequency.
My hypothesis was correct.
The unknown monster lurking in that alleyway, unknown to me, uses its power to create waves to revive inferior monsters.
Now it’s time to see that guy with my own eyes.
He entered the alley with a gun.
“Keeeeeek!!”
A new species suddenly attacks me as if it had been waiting for me.
I backed away from the guy who was trying to bite my face off, then threw the gun away and picked up the axe.
Squeak!
Bam!
Visor detachment, exposing vital organs.
After two attacks, the monster began to transform into particles of light.
After catching the falling gun with the axe handle, he put one of the axes in its sheath and entered the alley again.
“Keeeeeek!!!”
There are so many new species blocking my path that the narrow alley is almost full.
Looks like you’ve come to the right place.
There are eight in total.
Although I am at a numerical disadvantage, the narrow alleys of the battlefield are an environment that is infinitely advantageous to me as I am fighting one-on-one.
He put down his gun and picked up two axes from the start.
The first one ran towards me with a hissing sound.
If you compare a mutation dog to this guy, I would say that a mutation dog is dozens of times more difficult than this monster.
Slow, sluggish, and the pattern is to lean back and then quickly move forward with teeth to bite.
Another characteristic of the new species that was quickly identified is that it targets the torso rather than the neck or face.
Aiming downwards inevitably means exposing the guy’s vital spot, the head.
I easily dodged the meaningless attacks, peeled off the visor like a fishmonger would clean a fish, and struck the seed-like vital point.
“Keeeeeek!!”
One.
The second one comes rushing in quickly.
The instincts are there, but the lack of intelligence is obvious.
In that it shows no learning effect whatsoever.
Squeak!
Bam!
Two.
“Keeeeeek!!!”
There is no need to count the numbers.
Considering that what I’m doing now is closer to working than hunting.
For once, my axe danced happily.
My axe is no ordinary axe.
People tell me my axe is made of titanium, but it’s actually a slaughter tool made of the highest grade steel called “super steel.”
The National Assembly was so impressed by my performance that they offered to make a weapon for me, and this was the result of their response. You could call this custom equipment.
I know the manufacturer is in Austria, and before starting production I asked them whether they would prioritize cutting power or durability.
My mentor, Jang Gi-yeong, recommended cutting power, but I chose durability.
Because it seems like you can kill more.
Break!
It was an excellent choice.
There’s only one thing left.
thud!
He is the leader of the guys who create shock waves right in front of you.
I don’t think there’s any need to take up arms.
Because when you see a shiver run down your spine as if every cell in your body is awakening, it seems like you have already entered the minimum distance of the reflex field.
“Hunter Park Gyu!”
Sergeant Kim asked for help again.
It may seem like you’re looking for me excessively, but judging from the sounds I’m hearing, you’re really in a hurry.
Could this be a so-called “over run” situation, right before the fall?
“I’m out of bullets now!”
In my view, what they lack is not bullets, but hope.
He calmly turned the corner and spoke into the walkie-talkie.
“I found their leader.”
“Captain?”
“Yes. Just hold on a little longer. It won’t take long.”
“but!”
“Didn’t my disciple tell me his story?”
“······”
There was no further answer.
Instead, the sound of gunfire filled the air, making it seem as if they had run out of ammunition.
I turned the remaining corner while hearing gunshots ringing out simultaneously from the speakers and the ceremony hall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There’s a monster right in front of you.
But it feels completely different from anything I’ve seen so far.
When viewed as a whole, it has a spherical shape.
No other organs or structures are visible.
For some unknown reason, he floats in the sky like a necromancer, but that’s it.
The new monster that caught my eye was a sphere of ugly, grayish-white flesh.
and.
thud!
Each time a shockwave is generated, a portion of the creature’s grayish-white flesh disappears as if sucked into thin air.
“……Was this the mechanism?”
I glared at the guy.
I don’t feel any hostility or malice.
Even though there is a human right next to him, he doesn’t take any of the usual defensive actions.
It simply creates waves and supplies its flesh in the form of black fog to other guys’ bodies.
I’ve seen a lot of monsters, but this is the first time I’ve seen this type.
As you can see from the Necromancer type imitating a human, the Spider type imitating an insect or beast, and the Dancer type, the monsters are crude and malicious imitations of things that exist on Earth.
But this new species shows no trace of such imitation.
They simply continue to create shockwaves and feed their flesh to their inferior kin.
Not only is there no fighting power, but there is no even the minimum intelligence.
That eerie, single-functioning appearance brought fear to me for the first time in a long time.
Yes, that’s right.
This is our enemy.
This is the true face of the enemy of humanity who seeks to kill us and destroy our world.
After taking a short picture of the guy with my cell phone, not for the internet but as a teaching material for my juniors, I picked up the axe.

(Antimatter**) -Recommendation 23-
It’s the brink of human extinction. If you think about it, tens of thousands of them will come in combination with tanks, damage, and heals…
(Donggle**) -Recommendation 2-
It looks like the monsters are evolving too
It’s creepy how they divide up roles at a machine level.
I’m worried that we can overcome real destruction.
