Chapter 15: First Revenge
The drone Kang Dohyun rode roared with deafening noise as it flew low toward Suwon Bus Terminal.
Woooooong!!!
The sound was so intense that numerous zombies on the ground below began to stir.
Grrrrr...
They started moving toward the drone he was riding, their aggression naturally drawn to it.
Follow me... follow me in large numbers.
As the zombies trailed the drone, they began heading toward Suwon Bus Terminal.
Woooooong!!!
The drone's noise was loud enough that people inside the terminal could hear it clearly.
"What the hell?"
"Crazy! Is that a drone?"
"A drone? But there's someone riding it!"
Inside the terminal, members of the Terminal Group stared in shock at Dohyun approaching on the noisy drone amid the apocalypse.
"Damn it! What is that?!"
"Zombies are swarming!"
"Block the entrance first!"
As dozens of zombies surged toward the terminal, many grabbed weapons and began fortifying their positions.
"What the fuck is that bastard doing?!"
"Why's he leading zombies here?!"
"Hold the line!"
Dozens of zombies followed Dohyun's drone to the terminal and, spotting living humans, lunged forward.
Grrrrr!
Some Terminal Group members blocked the entrance while others attacked from narrow corridors, fighting to hold off the horde.
Dohyun hovered at a safe distance and height, drawing the zombies' attention while observing the Terminal Group's battle.
"As expected, they already have a system in place."
Despite the sudden zombie assault, the Terminal Group had already organized defense, offense, and support teams. With over 200 members, they showed the rapid growth of a group thriving in the apocalypse.
But today, you all die here.
As he prepared to move to the next location per his plan, a man caught his eye.
Hmm, Gu Bonho. I'll kill that bastard myself.
Gu Bonho, the Action Captain of the Terminal Group and one of the deepest enemies of the Kang brothers, had appeared. Dohyun drew the crossbow from his back.
Thwack! Thwack!
"Agh!"
Bolts struck Gu Bonho's forehead, killing him instantly.
You have acquired 349 Zombie Coins.
Already over 300 kills. Good work.
As Dohyun reveled in his revenge, others inside the building shouted and threw objects at him.
"Bonho! Bonho!"
"That bastard!"
"Kill that drone guy!"
I'll kill you all slowly.
Using bolts on others would waste ammunition. Dohyun signaled his brother, and the drone smoothly moved toward the next target.
While the Terminal Group fought zombies, Dohyun's drone arrived at a department store beside the terminal.
Grrrrr...
Inside the store, countless zombies existed, but the drone's noise didn't disturb them due to the windows.
Dohyun pulled a firework launcher from his backpack. Lighting the fuse—
Fzzzt...
—the flame traveled down, then—
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames shot out like missiles, striking the department store windows.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Noticing the movement outside, zombies began pounding on the glass.
"Okay!"
Dohyun lit a second firework and launched it, continuing to provoke the windows.
Crash!
Finally, the zombies shattered the thick glass. Zombies from the second and third floors tumbled out, flooding the ground below.
"Wow!"
Dozens of zombies falling continuously was a spectacular sight.
Dohyun circled the department store, provoking zombies on higher floors to emerge.
"More than expected."
Instantly, a massive horde gathered beneath the drone—hundreds of zombies from inside the store.
"Alright, everyone follow me."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Using firework flames, Dohyun slowly lured the zombies toward Suwon Bus Terminal.
Hundreds of zombies trailing the drone was pure terror.
While guiding them, Dohyun noticed something.
Shooting zombies with firework flames—
Hmm? One-hit kill applies here too.
Some zombies died instantly from the flames.
It probably works with rifles and shotguns too. Other ranged weapons.
Realizing ranged attacks were effective, Dohyun deemed it worth studying.
The hundreds of zombies he lured moved toward Suwon Bus Terminal.
"Z... zombies are coming!"
The Terminal Group, already struggling against the initial horde, panicked at the sight of hundreds more.
"W... what do we do?!"
"Hold them! Somehow hold them!"
"We can't run anyway!"
Despite leaders trying to maintain order, some fled outside.
"Run!"
"We can't survive here!"
But—
Thwack! Thwack!
Bolts from Dohyun struck the faces of those trying to escape.
"You can't run. Fight and die here."
From the sky above the terminal, Dohyun watched the battle between zombies and the Terminal Group, occasionally gifting bolts to those who emerged, waiting for total annihilation.
Exactly 40 minutes after the operation began, the Terminal Group was wiped out.
Survivors?
Using presence detection, he confirmed a few remained inside the terminal.
But the core members are mostly dead.
For the rest, death by zombies was only a matter of time.
With the drone's battery running low, Dohyun urgently signaled his brother for the next move.
The drone slowly moved toward its next destination: the gas station in the terminal parking lot.
Woooooong!!!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drone's noise and fireworks drew hundreds of zombies from the terminal toward the gas station.
Alright, goodbye.
Dohyun waved, and upon seeing the signal, Dohun piloted the drone high into the sky, disappearing from the zombies' view.
The zombies at the gas station stared upward, confused.
The drone returned to the apartment rooftop where Dohun waited.
"Good work!"
"You did great too."
The reunited brothers exchanged praise.
Dohyun stepped off the drone and exhaled with relief.
"Phew..."
Despite his experience, luring hundreds of zombies via drone was dangerous, draining both body and mind.
After a brief rest, Dohyun immediately prepared for withdrawal.
"Pack up."
"Waste of a drone."
Though expensive, it was time to abandon it.
"Let's cut our losses."
Gathering yesterday's bags and gear, they went down to the second floor and entered an empty apartment.
"Dohun, lie down."
Following his brother's order, Dohun lay on the floor, and Dohyun joined him. He pressed the button on the remote device.
BANG!!!
The gas station in the terminal parking lot exploded with tremendous noise and heat.
The blast's aftermath was strong enough for the brothers lying in the apartment to feel the heat. Moments later—
You have eliminated a large number of zombies.
You have acquired 1077 experience points and 1077 Zombie Coins.
Level Up!
Level Up!
Level Up!
Congratulations! You have acquired the skills 'Gunpowder Amplification' and 'Flight Technique'.
You are the 7th in the world to eliminate over 1,000 zombies in a single event.
The effect of 'Achievement: Zombie Slayer' has been enhanced.
The small explosives Dohyun had planted yesterday detonated at the gas station, wiping out all nearby zombies.
He also gained skills and achievements from this battle.
As the heat subsided, the brothers rose from their lying positions.
"Wow, hyung, you're amazing?"
"Did you get anything?"
"Yeah. 'Zombie Slaughter Supporter'."
Just for supporting the operation, Dohun earned an achievement.
When they exited the apartment—
"....."
The gas station and surrounding area were burning, with charred zombie remains still moving.
"Zombies from nearby will all converge here. Let's go fast."
The brothers began walking quickly.
Using presence detection, Dohyun navigated through zombie- and human-free zones, heading south to escape Suwon as quickly as possible.
