Chapter Title: Reunion and Retribution
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After letting her fully savor the sight of her comrades being torn apart alive by zombies, I took the last remaining one to the department store.
“Uncle… wh-what about Mom…?”
While I was putting the sniffling Yoon Hyun-seo into the van, she grabbed my sleeve and asked in a trembling voice.
She must have watched everything—how those bastards kidnapped her and left Baek Min-ah behind with the zombies.
“She’s fine. Min-ah is safe.”
Her anxious face broke into a bright smile at my answer.
Relieved to hear the response she’d been desperately hoping for.
But seeing that, I couldn’t feel purely happy.
“Mom—!!”
After arriving at the department store, I took Hyun-seo down to the third floor.
The third-floor parking lot was full of gruesome scenes unfit for a child’s eyes, so I got off on the fourth floor, entered the building, and then went down to the third.
As soon as we reached the third floor, a bright, airy space filled with pleasant scents welcomed her.
And on one of the sofas there sat Baek Min-ah, her face blank.
Yoon Hyun-seo spotted her and immediately burst into tears, rushing over and throwing herself into her arms.
“Mom…! Hic, thank goodness…!”
“…….”
Baek Min-ah, expressionless, carefully hugged the sobbing Yoon Hyun-seo tight.
She gently stroked the crying girl’s hair.
‘She still has her humanity.’
I’d been worried the zombie virus side effects might have turned her into an empty shell.
But the way she held Yoon Hyun-seo—though her face showed no emotion—was unmistakably that of a mother who loved her child.
“…M-Mom?”
Yoon Hyun-seo sensed something off in the silent, blank-faced Baek Min-ah and lifted her head to look at her.
Then, with an uneasy expression, she cautiously touched Baek Min-ah’s face.
“Mom, are you hurt? Why… why are you like this…?”
She was hugging her tight, but Baek Min-ah said nothing.
Seeing this, I approached Yoon Hyun-seo and gently took hold of the hand caressing Baek Min-ah’s cheek.
Yoon Hyun-seo, her face stiff, looked up at me with trembling eyes.
“It’s okay. Min-ah will be like this for a while. But Uncle will make sure she goes back to normal.”
Upon hearing my words, Yoon Hyun-seo’s face twisted in confusion for a moment.
Then she burst into tears, burying her face in Baek Min-ah’s chest.
It wasn’t just a tantrum—it was the heartbroken sobbing of a child in deep sorrow.
It wasn’t easy for an adult to hear.
Her biological mother had left due to divorce when she was young, and her biological father had died horribly while scavenging for food during the zombie outbreak.
Now, even Baek Min-ah, her only remaining family, had ended up like this.
Too many wounds for a child to bear.
At her age, it must be overwhelmingly heavy.
Watching Yoon Hyun-seo sob with her face buried in Baek Min-ah’s chest, I felt rage rising from my dantian.
“Now, don’t we have some talking to do?”
Embracing that rage, I took the woman responsible for this incident to the second floor of the department store and sat her down across from me.
She glared at me indifferently, while I smirked mockingly at her.
Chae Su-ah and Lee Ah-rin watched us anxiously.
I’d called Lee Ah-rin here because I needed her ability.
To borrow the knowledge from her ‘Wikipedia.’
“It’s… it’s all done, Savior.”
“Yeah, good work. Just follow the memo you wrote, right?”
“Yes, be… be careful. If you mess this up, you could die right away, so go step by step, slowly…”
“Don’t worry.”
Since I wasn’t the one doing it directly, I didn’t need to be careful.
After sending Lee Ah-rin up to the third floor, I looked indifferently at the woman in front of me.
“First off… what’s your name?”
“……Lee Seon-ji.”
“Oh, off to a smooth start? You don’t like pain, do you?”
“Hah, what’s a name even matter?”
Lee Seon-ji’s fingertips and earlobes had electrical cables attached.
Soaked in water to conduct electricity well, droplets fell from her earlobe.
“Now that introductions are done… mind giving me your address too? Where are you from?”
“…….”
“Yeah, that’s right. Don’t answer.”
I grinned at her as she clamped her mouth shut and turned to Chae Su-ah.
At my gaze, Chae Su-ah nodded with a terrified face, read the memo in her hand, and activated the battery in front of her.
Then.
—Vrrrrm.
“Gaaaaaaah—!!!”
Lee Seon-ji arched her back, her body convulsing as she screamed from the electricity coursing through her.
After an appropriate time, Chae Su-ah hurriedly turned off the battery power with shaking hands.
“Hah… hah hah…! Hahaha…!”
Once the power cut off, Lee Seon-ji slumped limply from her thrashing and began laughing like a madwoman.
“You think… this’ll make me talk? You can’t break my devotion to the Leader with this crap.”
She lifted her drooping head, revealing eyes gleaming even through the pain of electricity.
The same mad glint I’d seen last night.
“Fry me with electricity, pull my nails, drown me. I’ll die before I say anything…”
Her voice was sincere.
Electric torture is one of the most excruciating methods.
A normal person would’ve pissed themselves and spilled everything after one shock.
‘Doesn’t work, huh.’
Her resolve suggested she wouldn’t talk even if it killed her.
Her madness was thicker than that of the five who died at the funeral home.
Something gripped her heart, freeing her from even death and pain.
“This question has nothing to do with your group.”
So I asked something unrelated to the info I wanted to extract.
“Baek Min-ah in the apartment… you didn’t have to do that to her.”
The reason they kidnapped Yoon Hyun-seo.
She’d never answer that.
It was tied to the Leader she mentioned.
So I asked a pure, unrelated question.
“But why bother throwing her to the zombies? If you wanted the kid, just take the kid.”
At my question, Lee Seon-ji looked at me blankly for a moment.
Then she smiled like a lunatic possessed and answered.
“I hate women loved by men the most. It’s a disgrace to women.”
“Haha, this bitch is crazy.”
I knew it, but the utterly retarded reason made me chuckle dryly.
I hardened my expression and stared at her.
“You turned the kid’s mom into that… for something that stupid?”
My cold glare.
But Lee Seon-ji met it with mad eyes and an unpleasant smile.
“Kehehe, and what about you? What makes you so great?”
She shifted her gaze to Chae Su-ah trembling beside me.
“I saw earlier. Naked men and women in the parking lot. And that woman over there… You treat humans like that, and you’re judging me?”
As if mocking me, she giggled, stuck out her tongue, and taunted me.
At that disgusting sight, I relaxed my stiff face, smiled back, and replied.
“You’re right. I’ve got no right to judge you on good and evil.”
I stood up from my seat after answering.
No amount of torture would cause this one pain.
I’d just realized physical pain couldn’t make her pay for her sins.
‘Guess I’ll have to use another method.’
I wanted her to despair utterly.
Simply extracting info and killing her after ruining Baek Min-ah was too merciful.
‘She’s probably the one who did that to Yoon Kang-hyun too.’
Yoon Hyun-seo’s father, tortured to death.
This bitch killed Yoon Hyun-seo’s dad and tried to feed her stepmom to zombies.
“Su-ah.”
“Y-Yes!”
I called Chae Su-ah, who watched us in terror, and the well-trained girl responded properly even here, remembering she was a dog.
I patted her cheek kindly and whispered in her ear.
“Play with her using electricity while I’m gone for a bit.”
“……Woof.”
“Don’t kill her by accident, okay? Or you’ll be sitting there instead.”
“Eek…!”
Handing the torture switch to Chae Su-ah was simple.
Just to remind her lately I’d been too lenient.
To imprint that she could end up like that if she slipped up.
“Answer like a person this time? You can do it, right?”
“Y-Yeah. I’ll do good. I-I won’t mess up.”
“Good girl.”
Chae Su-ah looked ready to burst into tears from fear.
Satisfied with her answer, I groped her breast lightly and left.
—Vrrrrm.
“Gaaaaaaah—…!!!”
Behind me came the hum of electricity and Lee Seon-ji’s agonized scream.
I’d noted the level where Lee Ah-rin wouldn’t die, so as long as she was careful, it wouldn’t kill her.
With that, I left the second floor and headed to the third-floor parking lot.
。 。 。
Arriving at the parking lot, I stood before the naked men terrified by my appearance.
They trembled in fear of what I might do this time.
I scrutinized their haggard faces.
“You there.”
“…M-Me?”
I pointed at one.
The man startled by my finger, his face pale, pointed at himself and asked back.
As I watched expressionlessly, the terrified man rushed over desperately.
“Please, p-please spare me…!”
He dropped to his knees before me and begged, looking up.
‘His face is the best among them.’
Though roughened by tent life in the parking lot with dull eyes, his features were the most handsome.
I tossed him the blanket I’d brought and said.
“Follow me.”
“Y-Yes…”
“What’s your name?”
“Park Sung-hoon…”
He was one of the survivors who’d joined midway, not from the original dorm group.
Fearful yet puzzled, Park Sung-hoon followed obediently behind me into the department store.
Since I wasn’t using zombies to drag him, he sensed it wasn’t dire and complied well.
I took him to the bathroom on the third floor of the department store.
“Wow…”
Entering the third floor, Park Sung-hoon gaped at the bright lights, cozy atmosphere, and beautiful women.
“Crazy? Eyes down.”
“Eek! S-Sorry!”
I didn’t like him ogling my women, so I made him bow his head.
A few spotted me and approached brightly, but I had important business, so I sent them away for now.
Into the bathroom.
I threw him shower supplies and said.
“Wash up thoroughly. Every nook and cranny. Make yourself smell nice.”
“……Pardon?”
“What pardon? Never showered before? Want me to do it for you?”
“Eek! N-No…!”
Stunned by my words, he hurriedly grabbed the supplies and started washing.
Midway, feeling warm water for the first time in ages, emotions welled up; he sobbed with tears.
Soon that turned to doubt as he looked at me while washing.
“Um… excuse me… why are you doing this for me?”
After treating him like livestock, my sudden kindness puzzled him.
At the natural question, I smiled brightly and answered the washing man.
“Because there’s something I want you to do.”
“…Something you want me… to do?”
To the fearful Park Sung-hoon, unsure what I’d say next, I replied cheerfully.
“You good at picking up girls?”
Tense, he made a baffled face at the unexpected question.
。 。 。
After his shower, I draped the blanket over Park Sung-hoon to cover him and headed to the fourth floor.
The kids’ corner on the fourth floor.
That would be their love nest for a while.
I left him waiting there briefly, went down to the second floor, fetched Lee Seon-ji who was being tortured, and took her to the third floor.
Like with Park Sung-hoon, I shoved her into the bathroom and had Chae Su-ah wash her every inch.
Then I sent Chae Su-ah back to the second floor and used a zombie to drag Lee Seon-ji up to the fourth.
And.
Squish, squish.
“Ugh…! F-Fuck…! P-Pull out?! You filthy bastard…!! Hn…! Pull out, you fuck—!!”
“Hah, hah, ngh…!”
Washing Lee Seon-ji was consideration for Park Sung-hoon and aid to him.
Her face wasn’t ugly but not stunning either.
Barely passable as a woman.
Her sturdy build made it hard for most men to see her as female.
At least hygiene and scent should be feminine—that was my goal.
I set up a temporary shelter on the fourth floor, threw Lee Seon-ji in bound.
Then had Park Sung-hoon rape her.
“Ngh, sorry…! Hn, sorry…!”
“Hn, ah…! Hah…! W-Wait…! You fuck…! Hn…!”
Squish, squish.
Luckily, deprived of release with the chastity device, Park Sung-hoon could still get hard for a woman like Lee Seon-ji.
He easily plunged into her pussy.
“Wow, mouth says no, but your face is panting like a bitch already?”
“Ngh…! Hn, sh-shut up…!!”
I smirked down at Lee Seon-ji helplessly pinned and fucked by Park Sung-hoon.
Her face was far more humiliated than during the electric torture earlier.
“Hah…! Hnng…!”
Even trained, she couldn’t hide a woman’s soft flesh in her pussy.
Tormented by my original thick cock—no, his cock—she flushed and her eyes trembled.
Looking under the mat, blood seeped from her hole.
Seems she was a virgin.
‘No wonder. If she’d been properly loved by a man, she wouldn’t be like this.’
So this was her first real man.
Perfect.
“Cum in her three times, then report to me. I’ll be in the parking lot.”
Squish, squish, squish.
“Ngh, y-yes…!”
Park Sung-hoon nodded frantically while thrusting, then dove back into tormenting Lee Seon-ji’s pussy.
‘Guess I’ll go too.’
First step done right; time for my own business.
Leaving Lee Seon-ji’s humiliated moans behind, I headed back to the third-floor parking lot.
This time, I approached the group of naked women, not the men, and looked at them.
Smiling brightly, I said to them.
“Among you, those who’ve never been with a man—virgins. Raise your hands.”
At my question, their terrified faces paled further.
But no one raised a hand readily.
Naturally—no one would jump at a sudden virgin request from someone unpredictable like me.
But I needed a virgin right now.
‘I haven’t gotten the info yet, but their group is definitely large-scale.’
Didn’t know their exact size, but they had enough force to fight zombie hordes easily.
Time for me to build power too.
Base abilities via crystals were fine as is.
But my necromancer power needed growth.
And for that, I needed something specific.
“If you’re a virgin but don’t raise your hand. Or not a virgin but do.”
I smiled coldly with sincere, hardened eyes at them.
“I’ll make you wish for death.”
Confirming one by one that my words sank in, I said once more.
“Won’t ask a third time. …I’m a virgin. Raise your hand.”
Finally, someone raised a trembling hand cautiously.
