Yangsan
The apocalypse had struck, and most major cities in Korea had collapsed.
In particular, Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province—the capital region—had suffered rapid collapse. With such a massive population, the spread of zombies had accelerated, and the emergence of countless special dungeons had turned it into a hellish wasteland.
By contrast, the countryside had fewer residents and fewer dungeon conversions, so places with maintained order and security were more common.
In Gyeongsang Province, while not as devastated as the capital region, the influx of zombies in Changwon, Gimhae, Busan, and Ulsan had surged, and the overlapping dungeons had turned it into yet another hellish ground.
Kang Dohyun and Kang Dohun, the two brothers, had alternated riding drones and self-balancing scooters, pushing hard through the movement. After ten days of relentless travel, they finally reached Yangsan, the entry area of Busan.
However.
“Hyung? What the hell is this place?”
“Yeah, right?”
The moment they stepped into Yangsan, a street packed with an overwhelming number of people came into view.
Yangsan had transformed into a major city. This was a metropolis overflowing with countless refugees.
As they walked the central streets of Yangsan, they saw a truly diverse crowd.
“New recruits are being accepted by the military! If you enlist, you’ll get meals and clothing…”
“Anyone hunting in the outskirts of Busan! State your level and main skills!”
“Looking for Tae-yul from Jinhae Central High School, third year! Anyone who knows where Tae-yul is!”
“Choose! Choose! We sell used clothes!”
Yangsan was a chaotic mix of soldiers and civilians. Refugees who had fled from Busan and Changwon had gathered here, and the nearby military units had also re-merged.
Because Busan and Changwon had become too difficult to hold due to the zombies, many people had flooded into Yangsan, causing a sudden population explosion.
Kang Dohyun and Kang Dohun wandered the streets of Yangsan, taking it all in. Then.
“Hyung, first we should find a place to stay.”
“Yeah.”
The brothers started searching for lodgings.
“Is there anything I can do for you?”
A drifter approached and spoke to them. Kang Dohun was slow to react, but his brother immediately drew his weapon.
“Get lost.”
“Alright.”
The streets of Yangsan were so crowded with people that drifters were everywhere. But those carrying weapons—real bandits—were feared, so the moment they saw his brother’s reaction, they backed off.
The brothers left the drifters behind and headed toward Yangsan Stream, where the bandits primarily set up their tents.
Along the banks of Yangsan Stream, countless tents and shelters had been pitched. The brothers chose a suitable spot and set up their own tent.
After installing it and settling inside, they ate canned food while chatting.
“Hyung, this city is really messy, isn’t it?”
“Yeah.”
Kang Dohyun hadn’t known that. He had only guessed that it would take a long time to bring order to the area.
“We need to gather information.”
“Exactly.”
The reason for visiting Busan had been there, but with the current situation, they couldn’t simply charge in.
“Tomorrow we’ll split up and look for information in different places.”
“Got it.”
They had just confirmed the schedule for tomorrow when—
*Thud, thud.*
Someone knocked gently on the tent flap.
“Who is it?”
Kang Dohyun asked who was there. A sultry voice replied.
“Well… do you have a woman on hand?”
The moment the word “woman” left his lips, Kang Dohyun cracked the tent open. Outside stood four women, smiling invitingly.
*They look decent.*
Their appearances weren’t bad. So then.
“How much?”
“Any canned food is fine—one will do.”
The price of women was only getting cheaper every day. Satisfied with the rate, he asked his brother.
“What about you?”
“I’m good.”
At his brother’s refusal, Kang Dohyun stepped outside alone.
“Do you know of any vacant houses?”
“Yes, I’ll guide you.”
Kang Dohyun set off with the women. Meanwhile, Kang Dohun remaining inside the tent began.
“Let’s work out.”
He started exercising to pass the time.
Kang Dohyun walked the streets with the women.
“Where is the place you know?”
“There’s an empty warehouse building a bit on the outskirts.”
After saying that and starting to lead them, the feeling felt off. Usually they demanded payment in advance for the brothel, but these women hadn’t asked for it and were moving freely.
*It’s also farther out than I thought. Could it be?*
He moved with slight suspicion. The women eventually led him to a distant factory warehouse. And there they were!
*People are waiting around nearby.*
The people waiting around this woman, along with the women themselves, were most likely bandit hunters.
People who roamed outside hunting zombies, gathering resources, and killing others were called bandits.
Here, bandits and thieves were basically outlaws. In the context of survival, they wandered farming and clashing with other outlaws over desirable items, so anyone killing those outlaws was a bandit hunter.
Bandit hunters were professionals who specifically hunted outlaws to steal their zombie coins.
It was similar, but not quite. Unlike ordinary bandits who merely coveted loot, these bandit hunters killed outlaws without hesitation purely for the zombie coins they carried. They were even more vicious.
The brothers entered the small warehouse on the outskirts of Yangsan with the women. Then—
“Hahaha!”
“You came back with real prey?”
“Welcome! If you have any zombie coins, hand them over!”
Since Kang Dohyun wasn’t currently holding a weapon, the bandit hunters stepped out with relaxed expressions.
“How many are there?”
Kang Dohyun asked casually. The bandit hunter leader answered just as casually.
“We’re seventeen, and even excluding the women who can’t fight, that’s still seventeen.”
Seventeen to one. Even a strong bandit would be impossible to defeat in numbers like this. But Kang Dohyun wasn’t just a strong bandit.
“Not bad. That bonus is exactly what I like.”
He reached into his inventory and pulled out a crossbow. Then he fired a spirit bolt.
*Thung! Puk!*
“Kraaaaak!!”
One-shot kill! A single bolt had taken down one bandit hunter.
“What the— you said you didn’t have a weapon!”
“I just summoned it! That bastard’s insane!”
“Damn it! Shields! Where are the shields!”
“No, kill them now!”
The bandit hunters were startled, but they rushed at Kang Dohyun to attack as instructed by their leader. However—
*Whoosh!*
Kang Dohyun summoned a drone, climbed onto it, and flew up to the high ceiling of the warehouse. From the air—
*Thung, puk!*
He began firing the crossbow. He took out the leader first, then—
“If you move, you die!”
He warned them. Even so, the bandit hunters who kept moving had their lives ended by the crossbow.
In just five minutes, the movements of everyone still alive inside the warehouse had stopped.
Twelve bandit hunters had died, leaving five women and five bandit hunters still alive, frozen in place.
Kang Dohyun watched the ten of them with satisfaction and said,
“Well, you all want to live, right? Then lay down your weapons and lie flat with your hands behind your heads.”
At those words, the bandit hunters instantly looked at one another. Three of them tried to run at the same time, but—
*Thung, puk! Thung, puk! Thung, puk!*
Spirit bolts pierced their necks instantly, killing them.
“Who wants to die more?”
The five surviving women and two men obediently dropped their weapons, dropped to the ground, and raised both hands behind their heads.
Kang Dohyun descended from the drone to the ground. He took cable ties from the bread bag and bound all of their hands and arms.
After capturing seven people, Kang Dohyun started with looting the bodies.
*They’re all equipped with good weapons.*
Especially the leader—
*This is a rare weapon.*
The spear he carried was an item. A full rare-grade weapon!
*He must have killed a lot of people.*
Kang Dohyun happily looted a 500-zombie-coin spear.
He also found ropes on the leader, so he tightly bound the seven survivors to a pillar with them. Cable ties could be loosened by anyone above level 10 with enough strength.
He addressed the seven survivors.
“Now, let’s play a truth game.”
Kang Dohyun asked a question, and they answered truthfully. If they lied and were caught, they would be killed on the spot.
“How do you plan to tell if someone’s lying?”
A woman asked. Kang Dohyun smiled and replied,
“With my gut feeling.”
“…”
Everyone realized that their lives rested entirely on Kang Dohyun’s mood.
Kang Dohyun walked up to the prettiest woman first before asking any questions.
“Asking only questions isn’t fun, so let’s have some conversation first.”
As he said that, he stripped the woman of her skirt and panties. Then—
“Uh?”
A vagina like a black chicken comb came into view.
“Could it be?”
He inserted his already erect penis, but—
*Fwuk…*
It went in far too easily. The vagina was far too loose.
“Wow… she’s a complete whore? Her pussy is really… too damaged?”
“…”
The woman being penetrated didn’t answer, but the other woman bound beside her spoke in her place.
“She’s a whore who has sex with dozens of men every day. Of course she’s a whore.”
At those words, the woman who had been having sex with Kang Dohyun shouted in rage.
“Fuck you, you bitch! You’re a bandit! That woman is a bandit! She’s a bandit who hunts people along with the dead leader!”
When she reported them as bandits, Kang Dohyun laughed while looking at the others. The people immediately shouted.
“She’s definitely a bandit!”
“He forced us to sell our bodies while dragging us around!”
The remaining four women all agreed with the same opinion as her. So—
“No! I’m not!”
She denied it, but Kang Dohyun stabbed her in the neck with the spear he was holding.
“Kyaaak!”
The woman stabbed in the neck vomited blood and died.
- You have acquired 129 zombie coins. -
“She was an adventurer hunter.”
Kang Dohyun looked down at the woman beneath him and said, satisfied.
“Good information. Your pussy is disgusting, but I’ll keep you alive.”
“Thank you!”
The woman expressed her gratitude, and Kang Dohyun pulled out the penis he had been inserting. Then he moved to the woman beside him.
“Now it’s your turn.”
*Fwuk!*
“Haah!”
This time too, the tightening of the pussy wasn’t great, but it was better than the previous woman.
*Slurp, squelch, slurp, squelch.*
As Kang Dohyun rocked his hips.
“Then let’s start asking questions.”
He began asking questions to the survivors to gather information.
