Chapter 513: Defeat the Zombie King in the Zombie Apocalypse! [R-18] (10)
As the selection battle began, men and women became entangled in a chaotic brawl.
Clubs, pipes, broken chair legs—the women wielded whatever they could grab as weapons, but it wasn't that simple.
No matter how much they screamed or swung their makeshift weapons, it meant little before the weight, strength, and violence of a burly man.
Thwack!
“Aargh…!”
A woman’s scream erupted. A man’s fist caught her on the jaw, and she was thrown to the floor. Spitting blood, she collapsed, her eyes trembling wildly.
“Who’s next?”
The man let out a hollow laugh as he scanned his surroundings. Madness already glinted in his eyes.
Some of the men who had seen blood were clearly getting excited. Go easy on them because they’re women? This was a world where such considerations didn't apply.
In fact—
“I-I have a weapon, too…!”
One woman, though trembling, stood her ground, gripping a pipe. She aimed it at one of the men and took a step back.
“Please… don’t come any closer…”
But—
Crack!
Her arm was seized and twisted. What followed was—
Smash!
A knee drove up into her solar plexus, and her head was grabbed and slammed into the concrete floor.
“Huuuh… Mom… Mommy…!”
Watching the bloodied woman pass out, the other women were so terrified they couldn't even move, collapsing where they stood.
Screams and tears were all buried in silence. And in that gap, someone slowly muttered.
“…Fucking cunts. Acting so high and mighty until now…”
His gaze toward the women was murderous, as if he’d always harbored a deep-seated animosity toward them.
He lunged at one of the women lying on the floor.
Tug. Riiip…
He tore off her pants, forced her legs apart with his knees, and pulled out the disgusting rod that had been revealed in his own trousers.
“Some… someone… help me… please…”
“Shut the fuck up. Today, I’m going to tear that pussy of yours to shreds.”
Screams and pained gasps echoed from all directions. I hadn't even planned on touching that woman, since she had an ugly face.
However—
The problem was that the other bastards who saw the scene were starting to get ideas.
“Dammit, me too—”
“Just a taste—”
Without hesitation, I picked up a rock.
Thwack!
And I brought it down squarely on the back of the man’s head.
“Guh, khh…?!”
He staggered and collapsed, and the scene instantly fell silent.
I quietly approached him and began to mercilessly smash the rock into the back of his head again.
Crunch.
It was completely pulverized. Then, I slowly raised my head and spoke.
“Who said you could do anything else?”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on me.
“Whether she’s ugly, has a bad body, or is unconscious. Every woman in this mansion is my property. Any bastard who touches them without my permission—”
I held up the blood-soaked rock again.
“—will be executed on the spot.”
The men held their breath and nodded.
“If you understand, then get back to it.”
At my words, the bloody brawl resumed. After the savage battle had raged for some time, I saw a woman standing tall and began to clap.
Clap, clap, clap!
“Wow, Captain Chae I-ryeong. Quite impressive.”
“Hah… hah…”
One of her arms was completely twisted, yet she stood there without a single sign of pain.
I tossed her a potion.
“Drink it. You need to fix that arm.”
Chae I-ryeong drank the potion without hesitation. In an instant, her broken arm snapped back into place.
“Ngh… Thank you.”
I leisurely looked around. A total of 25 people were barely holding onto their consciousness. Among them, only two were women, including Chae I-ryeong.
The second woman was the one who had broken Chae I-ryeong’s arm.
She was over 180cm tall, and her thighs looked thicker than my waist.
Her build and strength were on another level, enough to easily overpower three average men.
I met her gaze and slowly opened my mouth.
“What’s your name?”
“…It’s Gwak Jin-hee.”
Even her voice was a bit deep for a woman.
“What did you do before?”
“I was a national weightlifting athlete.”
I nodded.
“So that’s why your build and strength are insane. I have high hopes for you.”
“Yes…”
Her reply was short and heavy.
I took out another potion and tossed it to her. Gwak Jin-hee caught it with both hands and bowed her head.
“Thank you.”
“Have the remaining guys drink potions when they come to, and line them up.”
I glanced at Chae I-ryeong and continued.
“Chae I-ryeong is the temporary leader. The rest of you can figure out your own ranks.”
With that, I turned and walked away.
*
The second selection was held outside. I had them hunt zombies, each armed with a bamboo spear.
“Shit…!”
From a high perch, I watched the humans struggle against the true fear of death, a different kind of fight from man-versus-man.
“Chae I-ryeong, Gwak Jin-hee, and was it Yeom Byeong-su? They’re fighting well.”
Yeom Byeong-su was Chae I-ryeong’s subordinate. As expected of a former special forces soldier, he accurately targeted the zombies’ vitals even with a bamboo spear.
Stab! Stab!
Chae I-ryeong had already taken down ten, and Gwak Jin-hee used her strength to swing her spear and pierce through a zombie’s head.
The others, on the other hand, were a pathetic sight.
“Aaaargh! Help me!”
A man was bitten by a zombie. Instantly, the people around him backed away.
“He’s infected…!”
“We have to kill him!”
A man who had been his comrade raised his spear.
Thwack!
The scream was cut short by the sound of a head being pierced.
“The weak weed themselves out.”
I muttered, observing the situation.
An hour later, seven were dead.
Surprisingly, one of them was a man who had kept his senses until the very end of the last battle.
“Hah… hah… We’ve dealt with all of them…”
“Good. The final 18 have been selected.”
I stood before them.
“From now on, the real training begins. I will pass down the basics of the Blood Demon Art.”
The look in their eyes changed. The path to becoming superhuman had finally opened.
“Once you start, there’s no turning back. You will be my subordinates for life.”
“We are already prepared!”
Yeom Byeong-su answered. The others nodded in agreement.
“Then let’s begin.”
One by one, I placed my hand on their Dantians and taught them the basic heart method of the Blood Demon Art. Chae I-ryeong, however, was an exception.
I called her aside separately and passed down the Heavenly Thunder Qi.
“Why… am I the only one who’s different?”
“You’re my spare cocksleeve, aren’t you? So you get special treatment.”
“…I believe I told you I wouldn’t do such a thing…”
“That’s not for you to decide. It’s for me to decide. Well, I don’t plan on raping you by force, so think it over carefully from now on.”
Chae I-ryeong’s face turned red. An emotion I couldn't identify as either anger or shame appeared on her face.
“I… am a soldier.”
“So what? Are soldiers not allowed to have sex? To mate?”
“……”
“You’re just another survivor now. And I’m the only one who can guarantee your survival.”
I lifted her chin.
“We have plenty of time, so think it over slowly. It’s not like you have anywhere to run, right?”
“…I will focus on my training.”
In the end, she avoided my gaze and gave that answer. I smirked and began to transfer the Heavenly Thunder Qi to her.
‘She’ll end up in my arms eventually anyway. This is just an early investment.’
And when I activated Bloodline Awakening on her strengthened body, would a higher species be born without any issues? That was something I needed to confirm as well.
At that moment.
“This is… ahk…!”
Chae I-ryeong’s pupils dilated, and her body twitched as if convulsing.
“It’s a martial art that handles lightning qi. It’s a higher-level art, on a different dimension from the Blood Demon Art.”
“Ugh… W-wait…”
“Endure it. This is all necessary for you to become stronger.”
I deliberately stimulated her by pressing my fingers against her womb.
*
The men and women who learned the Blood Demon Art trained under me. It was a pain to teach them from the basics, but they needed a certain foundation to be useful.
The result of my investment of time was—
Crash!
“Haaap!”
Yeom Byeong-su’s fist punched through a concrete wall.
“Good. You’re finally getting useful.”
It was an astonishing level of growth in just one week. The nature of the Blood Demon Art allowed for rapid growth, but this was beyond my expectations.
“Reporting!”
Gwak Jin-hee approached. A red aura flowed from her body as well.
“We’ve discovered a horde of zombies. Approximately 100 of them.”
“Perfect for some practical training.”
I assembled the combatants.
“This is your first real battle.”
Then I looked at Chae I-ryeong.
“Chae I-ryeong, you watch from the back. Only intervene if it gets dangerous.”
“Understood.”
Golden lightning qi crackled from her hands.
‘Looks like feeding her the Kerosene Oil paid off.’
I gave her a pat on the ass and shouted.
“Alright, let’s move out.”
We moved to where the zombie horde was located.
A ruined shopping district. Zombies were roaming in groups.
“Begin.”
At my command, the combatants charged.
Boom! Thud!
“Graaaaargh!”
Weapons cloaked in red aura burst zombie heads. A single kick sent three or four zombies flying.
“We’ve gotten really strong!”
“Fuck yeah, this is the stuff!”
The combatants cheered. It was a one-sided slaughter.
However—
“Kieeeeeek!”
Suddenly, something dropped from a building above. It was a monster, different from the normal zombies, with grotesquely swollen muscles.
“Wh-what is that thing!”
The muscular zombie roared and charged at one of the combatants.
Crash!
A single blow sent the combatant flying into a wall.
“Keuk…!”
“It’s appeared already.”
Seeing that thing confirmed that this was an alien parasite zombie apocalypse story.
“What are your orders?”
Chae I-ryeong asked.
“Leave it. They need to handle something like this on their own.”
Just then, Yeom Byeong-su stepped forward.
“I’ll take it on!”
Raising his red aura to its maximum, he faced the muscular zombie with his spear.
Fwoosh!
The red energy of the Blood Demon Art swirled at the tip of his spear. He thrust it forward—
Stab!
—and it pierced the muscular zombie’s chest. But—
“Kigigigik!”
The zombie didn’t die. Instead, it grabbed the spear. Then it lifted Yeom Byeong-su along with it.
“Dammit!”
Yeom Byeong-su let go of the spear, spun in mid-air, and delivered a kick.
Thwack!
The zombie’s head snapped to the side, but it was still fine.
‘If it’s following the original story, the appearance of special zombies like that means… the Zombie King has been born, or is about to be.’
At that moment, Gwak Jin-hee joined the fight.
“I’ll help!”
With the two of them attacking together, even the muscular zombie began to be pushed back.
Crash! Splat!
Eventually, its head exploded and it collapsed.
“Dammit, why was it so tough…”
I examined the fallen special zombie. I could see something wriggling inside its head.
“There it is.”
A black parasite. It was identical to the one I saw in the original story. However, the fact that it was black instead of gray meant it wasn't infected by the King.
“What is that?”
“A parasite. These things use humans as hosts to infect other humans.”
The combatants looked shocked.
“A parasite…”
“And the fact that special individuals like this have appeared means that even stronger ones will show up soon.”
I looked around at everyone and said.
“From now on, we’re doubling the training intensity. At your current level, you’ll have a hard time surviving.”
At the mention of increased training, the faces of the gathered members twisted in unison.
