Chapter Title: I Said I Had Something to Say

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Her head was bleeding from wherever she'd collided, and her shoulder and arm were badly scraped.

Surrounded by the others in an instant, Rosie gave an awkward smile and insisted she was fine.

The building must've collapsed and flung her into the corner, out of sight.

Just in case, I should check the upper floors before we head out.

Our eyes met, and a status window popped up in midair.

Kindly lists her real name too.

It's a common name, so her agency head gave her the stage name Rosie.

Her erogenous zones are all concentrated down there, so the rewards kick off with pussy play right away.

It was a shame she didn't have that easy-to-dominate submissive tendency.

'Who's that uncle?'

'Dunno. He just showed up and said he took out the monster in the plaza.'

'No way.'

'But he cleared all those building rubble over there.'

'What?'

'He shoveled it all aside and pulled the kids out. Thought he was the Hulk.'

I could hear every word of their whispers pointing my way.

Blame my heightened perception level.

Rosie limped over to me.

"Hey, mister, who are you?"

"Don't call me mister. I'm only four years older than you."

"27...?"

"Do you really have to make that face to check my age?"

"Ahem... Uncle, you killed the monster in the plaza?"

"No option for oppa?"

"Oppa killed the monster?"

Did she really need two corrections?

"Yeah. I did."

"Liar. I scouted and saw it. How's a person supposed to kill a monster that slices cars in half?"

"Didn't the kids tell you? I cleared that rubble too."

"Clearing a few rocks is not the same as killing a monster like that."

Not a few rocks—did concrete chunks look like pebbles to her?

"Believe it or not, I can do this stuff. Monster-bashing is nothing compared to it."

I snapped my fingers, summoning bandages into the air.

She recoiled in shock at the glowing bandages that appeared.

I floated bandages over the three survivors' heads too.

Some of them fell on their asses, screaming.

"Wh-what is...?"

"Gonna heal you, so stay put."

The airborne bandages wrapped neatly around their wounds.

I could've grabbed and done it manually, but this flair would sell my powers.

Rosie couldn't close her gaping mouth.

I headed to where the kids were clustered.

The blood from their mangled limbs stopped, pain vanishing.

Full healing would take two hours, but this alone was a 'miracle' to them.

"What was that? How'd you do it? This... no way. Bandages just appeared out of nowhere... And it doesn't hurt at all!!"

"In two hours, it'll be fully healed. No scars, so don't worry."

"That's not the point right now! How is this even possible? Are you some kinda god, oppa?"

"Not a god, but I can use powers like this. I could smash cars like that monster or collapse buildings. Follow me, and I'll explain in detail."

"Follow you? Where?"

"To where there are other celebrities like you."

I pulled Rosie aside and gave her the short version.

Zombie outbreak hit, I got powers like before,

A special thing called the 'status window' kept telling me to rescue celebrities,

So I gathered rescued celebs and holed up in a one-room.

I skipped the part about getting skills and points from sex.

Better if she heard that from them, not me.

Say that on first meet, it'd just sound like a sleazy ploy.

"Sounds like a comic book. Honestly, I can't believe it."

"Believe or not, it's your call. But zombies and those monsters already break all logic. Our world's beyond common sense now."

She'd been on recon, faced zombies herself.

Not right away, but once she saw my powers enough, she'd come around.

'Once she tastes dick, she'll believe quick.'

"Your face looks shady. Makes me believe even less."

Thought she was all brawn, but she's sharp.

"If you can't buy my word, ask the ones I'm with."

I mentioned Heo Yun-ji, Song Ji-eun, Han Seo-young.

"Yun-ji too?"

"You two close?"

"Kinda. We faced off a lot in idol olympics finals. Girl's got insane athleticism."

I knew that well.

Her thighs nearly crushed my head during pussy play once—thought my neck would snap.

Ever since, I spread her legs wide before going down.

"Hear it from Yun-ji herself. What they've been through."

She'd looked reluctant to go earlier; now she was pondering.

"Don't know Song Ji-eun or Han Seo-young well, but they're not liars. No reason to lie to you anyway."

"What about them?"

"Obviously staying here. We're not in a position to babysit everyone. Unless there's someone you gotta bring?"

"No. The film crew I came with... all dead on day one."

She bit her lip.

She'd survived near-death too.

"Way better than before. Monster's dead, path to the front gate's cleared by me. Survivors in the business building, so link up there. This place is trashed."

"More survivors?"

She looked surprised.

Couldn't pass the plaza thanks to Franken-zombie.

Speaking of, where'd the plaza corpses come from?

"You ever fight that plaza monster?"

"No. Saw it smashing a truck on recon and bolted. No human could handle it. Still can't believe you took it down."

Show her the rubble where Franken-zombie's buried on the way out.

"Asked around 'cause there were fight traces. So not you guys."

"Yeah."

Besides the rubble bodies I pulled, over twenty more.

Student hall had nearly fifty survivors then.

'Recon teams mean someone was leading them.'

"No leader? Group this size needs one."

"Student council president and secretary were here."

Student council execs among survivors.

They organized against zombies.

"Where are they now?"

"Over there."

Rosie pointed to the corpse pile.

Bodies I'd extracted clearing rubble.

'Damn.'

I told the rest.

"Found survivors in the business building on the way. Gonna check the situation, so wait here. If there are raiders, I'll handle 'em."

"I'll come too."

Rosie tagged along.

"Might be dangerous. Stay with the kids."

"I can fight. And I wanna see if you're really that strong. Gotta see it myself to believe."

"What ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠if no fight?"

"Even better, but it's suspicious. Fight traces from the plaza monster, right? If they could hunt it, they'd go for it. Plain survivors wouldn't reach the plaza."

Great physique, sharp instincts, quick mind.

Value as fuck buddy and combat asset.

Rosie wrinkled her nose at the plaza strewn with bodies.

"This the traces you meant?"

"Yeah. Close to student hall, so I figured them."

"Not us. Monster blocked us, so we were making a back gate path. Livestock team blocked that too, stalled out."

An SUV by the road; I ripped off the door.

Better than iron pipe—blocks and shoves easy.

Rosie gaped.

"Th-that... car door...?"

"Told you. I'm strong."

Business building entrance dead quiet, but new barricade up.

Someone's definitely inside.

Barricade size like the one at the house.

Lifted it for Rosie to see, hurled it far.

She stared dumbfounded as it sailed through the air.

"A person can lift that?"

"You're the one who won't believe, so I keep proving it. Believe now?"

Inside empty on first floor.

Walked halfway, yelled up.

"I know someone's there. Come out—I have words!"

"Dieee—!!"

A big guy charged from the corner, iron pipe raised.

Blocked with the door, bashed him into the wall.

"Gahk!"

"Hey, you crazy bastard. I said I had words!!"
