Arrival in Daegu
Kang Dohyun, Kang Dohun, and Lee Chaerin were flying on a drone.
They had used bicycles when moving from Gyeongju to Pohang, but now he was talking to his brother about switching to a drone.
The reason they had used bicycles was first to manage his stamina, and second to hunt the bandits they encountered along the way in order to gather Zombie Coins.
However, after the drone was upgraded and his level rose, he had gained some breathing room with his stamina. Three people could comfortably ride the drone.
And since they had not spent much Zombie Coins in the third quarter settlement, it made more sense to focus on time rather than gathering more before the fourth quarter settlement.
After riding the drone for two days, the three of them arrived in the city of Gyeongsan right next to Daegu.
“For today, let’s sleep near here.”
“Yeah, today which house should we raid?”
“There, the one over there.”
Kang Dohyun chose a quiet rural house in the middle of the fields, one where no one staying around was staying.
When they entered the small rural house, the inside was a total mess.
“Scavengers must have come and gone here too.”
“Yeah, probably.”
It had been nine months since the apocalypse began.
Most empty houses had likely been looted, and this one had been no exception. Most of the useful items and food supplies had been taken.
Kang Dohyun checked the state of the house and then set up a tent in the living room.
“I’ll sleep on the rooftop.”
“It’s starting to get chilly though?”
“I’m fine.”
And his younger brother set up his own tent on the rooftop.
After everything was prepared, Lee Chaerin ate nothing and immediately fell asleep in the tent, while the brothers started their light dinner of dried meat and canned corn.
“Chaerin-noona has been acting really strange lately.”
“Yeah… that’s true.”
Lee Chaerin’s state had changed further. Her sleep time had increased dramatically.
Today, after moving all day, as soon as they arrived at the house and set up the tent, she immediately fell into a deep sleep inside it.
“Hyung, what are you going to do in Daegu?”
“Daegu… no plan set.”
“Eh?!”
Her brother was surprised at his brother’s words of having no plan.
Kang Dohyun had been traveling across the entire country with various plans in mind all this time.
Based on the knowledge he had from his previous life, in this city he could obtain items, hunt, target specific dungeons, or even assassinate someone, or recruit someone else.
He had decided what to do and visited the city, but this time he said there was no plan.
At his brother’s surprised expression, Kang Dohyun smiled.
“Hah, who says I’ll be perfect?”
“No, still. Until now, it was almost perfect.”
Kang Dohyun smiled once more.
“I lived in the apocalypse world for twelve years before I regressed. In the early days I was in Suwon, but after I became a mercenary I wandered all over Korea. So I gathered a lot of information from various places, but I had never been active in Daegu.”
All the regions Kang Dohyun had visited until now were places he had been active in before his regression.
But he had passed through Daegu, yet never been active there, so there was no related information.
That was why there was no plan.
Kang Dohun also smiled when he heard his brother’s words.
“Wow, so this time it’s a real adventure.”
“Adventure? You can say that.”
“In Daegu I’ll be able to go wherever I want.”
“Hahaha, sure.”
The brothers laughed while eating dinner.
The next morning, Kang Dohun woke up a bit earlier than usual. He woke up his sleeping brother.
“I’ll wander around Daegu by myself.”
Since there was no plan from his brother anyway, Kang Dohun judged it would be better to go separately and told his brother so.
Kang Dohyun, still half-asleep, heard his brother’s words and thought, ‘It doesn’t matter anyway,’ nodded, and fell back asleep.
Thus, Kang Dohun departed first on the bicycle.
And when the sun rose a little higher.
“Slurp, slurp… plop.”
A lewd feeling came from his lower body, so he woke up from sleep.
“Hehehe, Master.”
Lee Chaerin, with a bright smile, was sucking on his thing.
“Didn’t you get horny yesterday because you couldn’t bite?”
“Yes, Master, I’m a horny bitch. Woof!”
Lee Chaerin acted like a dog and kept licking his thing while making cute noises.
“Then I’ll have to put it in.”
The morning sex between Kang Dohyun and Lee Chaerin began.
After waking up with sex, the two men ate a light breakfast, washed up, and finished preparing to leave. Then they boarded the drone and headed toward Daegu.
“Huh?”
The view from the drone was strange. An abnormally large number of people were staying around the Daegu Catholic University in Gyeongsan.
“Why is that?”
After riding the drone to Daegu and doing a reconnaissance, he found the reason.
“Daegu is also in a similar situation to Gyeongju.”
Daegu, the massive city, was already occupied by zombies. The survivors of Daegu were living in the outskirts of the city, which is why Gyeongsan had grown explosively.
After confirming the rough situation, it was time to choose a base camp.
“This place looks good.”
While wandering, he found a strange area.
The Daegu International Airport and Air Force Base in Dong-gu of Daegu had turned into dungeons. Between the three dungeons, no one was living there.
Without crossing the air, a narrow area had been created where no one could enter due to the dungeons.
He entered the small makeshift building between the dungeons and set up the tent, choosing it as the base camp.
“Chaerin.”
“Yeah.”
Lee Chaerin entered the tent and immediately fell asleep.
‘What should I do?’
Kang Dohyun briefly pondered what to do, then quickly made a decision.
‘Alright, I’ll hunt while scouting.’
Daegu, a large city occupied by zombies, would still have plenty of green and yellow dungeons remaining, making it the ideal city for hunting zombies.
Kang Dohyun decided to hunt in the middle of the city to confirm his combat power.
Kang Dohyun boarded the drone and arrived at Dongseongro in Daegu.
“There are so many.”
The zombies were swarming below, and Kang Dohyun jumped off the drone without hesitation.
“Thud!”
When Kang Dohyun landed on the ground, the zombies around him spotted him and—
“Guek!”
They rushed at him. Then he coolly pulled out his shotgun.
“Clang, boom!”
The shotgun fired with an enormous noise.
“Gueueuek!”
Dozens of zombies around him rushed at him.
The battle began. Kang Dohyun took out his axe.
“Whip, thud! Whip, thud!”
Zombies leaping from all sides, Kang Dohyun moved appropriately and struck them down with the axe. Then when their numbers grew too much—
“Clang, boom!”
He fired the shotgun again to reduce their numbers.
After hunting zombies in the middle of Daegu’s Dongseongro, truly many zombies were now rushing in.
“Wow, this is a rush-killing thrill.”
Kang Dohyun ran around killing zombies as he moved.
It was tough, but fun. Without thinking, he was killing zombies, so he felt the stress being relieved. Besides—
“It feels like my battle proficiency is rising.”
Since he hadn’t done this kind of zombie hunting recently, he hadn’t been able to fully utilize his abilities.
But here, after hunting countless zombies barely, he felt like he was properly using his specs.
After hunting happily, zombies were rushing in from all sides.
“Drone… no.”
He tried to summon the drone to escape, but shook his head.
It seemed he could escape this encirclement without the drone. So Kang Dohyun coldly checked the number of zombies around him with his senses and headed toward the area with the fewest.
“Thump! Leap.”
He jumped high. Then he stomped on the first zombie’s head and jumped again.
“Thump, thump, ta-thump!”
Like crossing a tightrope, he stepped on the zombies’ heads and crossed.
“Hoo.”
He had escaped the encirclement of the zombies. Dopamine surged through his whole body.
“Gueueuek!”
Even so, the zombies rushed at him again.
“Clang, boom!”
He fired the shotgun at the approaching zombies.
“Hahaha!”
Laughing loudly, he continued hunting zombies as he roamed.
Kang Dohyun wandered around Daegu slaughtering zombies. After six days of wandering—
“Huh?”
While hunting zombies near the Kwanmun Market, he found an extremely strange zombie.
All zombies had malice toward humans. So normally, they would rush at people, but this one—
“Running away?”
There was a zombie running away from him. He must have seen him, yet it was moving far away without approaching.
“It’s definitely a special zombie this time.”
Kang Dohyun ran toward the fleeing zombie. Then—
“Ta-thump.”
The zombie also started running to escape.
Kang Dohyun chased the fleeing zombie and swung his axe.
“Gueuek!”
The zombie fell, yet even in its fallen state it tried to crawl away.
“Die!”
Kang Dohyun chopped its head to kill it.
— You have defeated a level 2 zombie for the first time.
— Achievement: ‘Defeater of the First Evolved Zombie’ acquired.
— Due to the achievement effect, attack power slightly increased against the evolved zombie.
“Huh? A level 2 zombie came out? And I killed it?”
Kang Dohyun was dumbfounded by the unexpected achievement.
