Intruder
I loaded up my weapons after handing out tasks, then stepped outside for a scout.
The big mart was our target. I wondered if all the food there had been looted or if some faction had seized it.
The large mart had plenty of displayed goods, but the warehouse stock was even bigger.
The solar storm had hit so suddenly that not everything would have been sold off in that short window.
The road to the mart was deathly silent. The only things visible were corpses and a few homeless old men begging on the street without a trace of fear.
The young ones had one of two choices. They either starved to death inside their homes or went out and looted themselves.
Those who chose starvation would probably be too weak by now to move properly, even with water. Without water, they might not make it five days.
After about twenty minutes, the large mart appeared in the distance.
Bodies littered the area around the mart. They looked like victims of fighting, with wounds and blood.
Around the entrance, about ten people gathered. Some smoked cigarettes, others talked. They all held sharp cold weapons and seemed like one crew.
With that many at the entrance, there were probably a lot more inside.
They had apparently taken control of the mart's food without losing anything. That explained the size of the group.
I glanced around and saw a group of them dragging two young women toward the entrance. Both looked pitiful, starving and drained of strength.
The men at the entrance stared at the women with greasy smiles. New prey.
Even if they weren't forced, the starving women had no choice but to sell their bodies. Gaining that much food gave them the power to control people.
As the women passed the entrance, some men tossed filthy jokes and groped the women's asses and breasts. One even lifted her skirt and stuffed his hand inside her panties. The others whistled and pawed at her ass every time she walked past.
Despite the humiliation, the women kept their heads down and walked inside silently.
I wondered if the day would come when I would clash with those guys.
For now, with so much food, they probably had no reason to attack outsiders. They might even be worried about outside threats.
If a growing faction existed, they would want more food. Then they would definitely target this large mart.
I headed back to my place.
On the way, I checked the villas for loot. There were many villas, but I didn't know how much food remained inside.
When I entered the house, the Pilates woman was waiting. She jumped in surprise and bowed.
What... Ah, maybe she's nervous because I kicked her ass yesterday. She might think she pissed me off.
She quietly entered her room.
I remembered her swollen ass from yesterday's kick. I followed her straight into the room.
She sat on the bed, stood up, and looked at me.
Her eyes met mine. They were trembling, but her eyes were pretty. Her double eyelids and straight nose screamed surgery, yet they were still beautiful.
Her jawline and neckline looked natural on her small face.
"Eh? W-what business do you have, sir?"
"Yeah. I have a question about your ass."
"What?"
"I need to check if my kick left it swollen."
I grabbed her by the hand, forced her to bend over the bed, and pulled down her pants. She wore black lace panties.
As expected, her ass wasn't swollen. I hadn't kicked it that hard.
"It's... it's fine... ah... ahhn..."
When I pulled her panties down, the smell of her pussy rose. My hand slid over her ass and into her slit.
My other hand grabbed her breast and squeezed. Her pussy grew wet, and I heard a wet squelch.
After a short animalistic tease, I pulled out my cock and slammed it into her cunt.
I gripped her thin waist and pounded into her.
"Ahhn... heup... huck... huck... uuhk..."
I was close to cumming when a voice came from outside.
"Hyung-nim, I know you're busy, but there's an intruder."
"Ah, fuck. Got it."
The Pilates woman turned back with worry.
An intruder was an intruder. I couldn't just leave after coming this far.
I fucked her like crazy, pouring my cum deep inside her pussy. The women were all on birth control pills anyway, so it didn't matter.
"Huaaa... huiiiik..."
The Pilates woman trembled with a strange moan, squirting her juices. I pulled out, and thick cum flowed out.
I quickly pulled up my pants, grabbed the air gun, and stepped outside.
The black guy was standing in the hallway, carefully watching out the window.
When I got closer, I saw four of them near the apartment entrance, close to the door on the east side.
"All four of them?"
"Yes, probably for looting. They have weapons, but everything is in the window."
"In broad daylight... now they don't care about day or night. They look normal, but is there something special?"
"No one's visible yet. One of them looks like a woman... but from the looks of it, she's just a dick."
As the black guy said, her build and face were manly compared to our women. They were definitely going out to loot.
They were about seventy to one hundred meters away. Perfect chance to test the air gun.
"You keep guarding the first-floor entrance. I think I can take them all by myself."
The first-floor entrance was made of glass. Anyone could easily break it if they wanted. That's why we stacked large furniture behind it. We only moved the furniture a little when we went in.
I hid behind the first-floor entrance door and aimed the air gun. I had to shoot before they entered the apartment. Better to strike first.
No headshots. First, I had to hit.
-PAK!
The sound of air hitting something echoed. The bullet landed squarely in the chest of one guy.
"Aaaah!"
The hit man clutched his chest and collapsed.
I quickly reloaded. The spring resisted when I bent the barrel, and I had to use force because I was weak. But for me now, it was easy. I loaded the pellet into the bent barrel, folded it back, and aimed again.
"Wh-what is that?!"
"Is that a gunshot?!"
"No shot sound came out?"
The guys panicked and looked around. While they were distracted, the second shot fired.
-PAK!
This time, one guy clutched his thigh and fell.
"Air gun! There's an air gun! Where the fuck?!"
The guys seemed to have found roughly where the shot came from. They looked my way and yelled. If they saw me, what would they do?
The reloading time was about five or six seconds. While they grabbed their weapons and came toward me, I fired another shot.
This time, it hit the shoulder. The hit guy and the unhurt one abandoned the injured comrade and started running. After they finished reloading, they quickly ran outside.
When they saw me, the fallen guys tried to get up. They were captured for now, and I chased the running ones, then stopped in place.
The distance was a bit far. I aimed calmly and fired!
-PAK!
One guy fell with a shot to the back. He was the woman-like one.
Immediately, I reloaded. Seeing the fallen guys, the thigh-hit guy was standing up.
After reloading, I shot his chest. He gasped and convulsed. I fired one more shot for confirmation on the other fallen guy, then walked toward the distant woman.
"Kuek... P-please save me... T-that woman...!"
"A woman, so you want to be saved?"
When I pointed the gun at her, she convulsed even more.
"P-please save me! I'll let you do whatever you want with my body! Please... I don't want to die... huuk..."
Without even being told, she stripped off her own clothes and showed her chest. But her breasts were small and not impressive. No, her whole body didn't look good at all.
A bullet pierced the center of her forehead, and blood poured out as she fell.

[ Super Regeneration: 41 ]
I confirmed the guys' deaths, grabbed their bags and weapons.
This was my first real use of the air gun.
The feel was good, and once I got a little more used to the reloading speed, I could shorten the time by a couple of seconds.
Anyway, hitting from such a distance was a huge advantage.
There were probably rifles with real bullets. Shotguns would have much higher accuracy and killing power. Firing gunpowder meant I had to be prepared for attention. The air gun's advantage was great.
The weapons of the dead guys were ordinary. They weren't valuable except for the shovels. The shovels might be useful for work. Holding a shovel like a weapon... still, it didn't seem good for combat.
The bags weren't full, but they had quite a bit of food.
I ordered the subordinates to move the corpses to the flower bed and cover them with soil. The leftover manure would be food for the dog.
When I returned home, the 1jin girl and the Pilates woman were waiting with worried eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"It was nothing. Not a drop of blood on me. Now that I have a gun, it's fine."
"Did you kill them all?"
"Three died, and one escaped."
"One was a woman..."
"Ah... she... looked like a guy. I wouldn't eat that."
After killing three people, my appetite was still good. Had I really become this numb? Besides, I devoured five cans of canned food in an instant.
