New Applications
I stared at the utility tab, wondering what to pick with my last point. There was something useful there. It was the next stage after Tower Summon Dismissal/Re-summon.
Tower Repair
Current Stacks: 1
◉ Consumes 1 stack to fully repair a tower.
◉ Stacks recharge by 1 every hour.
◉ Maximum stacks: 10
I immediately learned Tower Repair. Hunting salamanders had taught me something. I could use towers for tanking now. Before, that had been impossible. Once a tower broke, there was no way to fix it. Now I could put them to aggressive use without hesitation.
Next, I checked on the towers.
There were a lot of towers that needed upgrading. First, I upgraded the Hunting Bow Towers into Longbow Towers.
“Things are starting to take shape.”
It was a shame the Longbow Tower’s level was still low. Zombies just didn’t give enough experience. Out of the Thorn Towers, I upgraded two into Hunting Bow Towers and one into a Light Crossbow Tower. Having more long-range towers felt reassuring.
The Wooden Hammer Tower had two possible upgrade paths.
Wooden Maul Tower
Warhammer Tower — Locked
‘Warhammer Tower is locked.’
Still, I could check the details.
A tower that swings a massive wooden hammer.
◉ Attacks once every 60 seconds.
A tower that strikes down with a steel hammer.
◉ Attacks once every 10 seconds.
Both looked incredibly powerful. The Wooden Maul Tower would clearly possess tremendous physical force proportional to its massive size. The Warhammer Tower was made of steel, so it seemed perfect for destroying high-durability targets.
It was disappointing, but I still couldn’t meet the unlock conditions.
‘Looks like I won’t be able to take it for a while.’
I learned the immediately usable Wooden Maul Tower instead.
Creak… groooaaan…
The Wooden Hammer Tower began to transform. Its height decreased while its width increased. It now looked like a massive wooden hammer laid on its side.
“Try attacking the empty air.”
At my command, a creaking sound rang out.
Whoooosh—!
The giant wooden hammer swung in a wide circle with a tremendous noise. If zombies surrounded it, one swing could turn them into paste.
“It’s way better than I expected. Area-of-effect attack skills are hard to come by.”
My skill tree was centered around tower support. Getting an AoE attack skill like the others was difficult. That regret was resolved in one go. Both the power and mechanics of the Wooden Maul Tower were extremely satisfying.
I also upgraded the Light Crossbow Tower.
A tower that fires bolts.
◉ Fires once every 30 seconds.
◉ Auto-fire mode (can be switched to manual).
The crossbow had grown larger and now had a pulley system attached for loading. As a test, I fired it at a zombie below the apartment.
Thwack—!
Splat! Crunch!
“Holy shit!”
The bolt smashed through the zombie’s skull and embedded itself in the asphalt road. In terms of raw power, it far surpassed the Longbow Tower. After testing it further, I found its range wasn’t that long, but it could still snipe. Most importantly, unlike the bow towers, it could fire in straight lines. Its accuracy was incredibly high as a result.
“Now all that’s left is summoning a flame-type tower, huh?”
Current stacks: 8.
‘I should be able to summon it tomorrow morning.’
The moment I got home, I collapsed onto the bed.
‘I’m exhausted.’
I had done way too much today. As I lay there motionless, the auntie came in.
“Tired, huh? Go to sleep quickly.”
She was wearing a negligee. Her snow-white breasts peeked through the black lace here and there.
We’d had sex in the morning and then fought all day. Even though I was insanely tired, my cock hardened on its own. I crawled into her arms as she lay on the bed and groped her breasts.
“Oh my, aren’t you tired?”
“I am tired. That’s why I’m touching them.”
“Hehe. Then touch them until your fatigue is gone.”
Since she wasn’t wearing a bra, her soft breasts yielded deliciously under my hands. I sucked on them right through the negligee.
Slurp, suck, slurp.
Even sucking through the fabric felt amazing. It was like my body and mind were being healed.
“Is your fatigue going away?”
“Yeah, it feels so good.”
I was so focused on her breasts that I gave a ridiculous answer. I pulled down the straps, kneaded her bare tits, and sucked on her nipples.
Slurp, lick, suck.
When I rolled her hardened nipples with my tongue, she let out a small moan.
“Mmm… ah…”
Her hand slipped into my pants and stroked my cock up and down. A dizzying pleasure shot up my spine.
“Hehe, does it feel that good?”
“Haa… Yes, it does, auntie.”
When I moved my hips, she gripped my cock tighter and pumped it harder.
“Lie down here.”
She lifted my head onto her thigh and offered her breast to my mouth. Her hand never stopped stroking me.
Slurp, suck, slurp, lick…
Her breasts were so sweet. Even though no milk came out, instinct made me keep sucking. With my free hand, I caressed her thighs and ass.
“You’ve turned into a total baby, haven’t you? Hehe.”
Her laughter sent goosebumps across the back of my neck. The urge to cum surged, and I felt like I might explode any second.
“Mmm… where are you touching? Isn’t baby’s touch a little too naughty?”
When I rubbed her pussy with the hand that had been on her ass, she couldn’t hold back her moan. I was too focused on sucking her tits to reply. I took as much as I could into my mouth, sometimes just licking with the tip of my tongue.
But I couldn’t hold back anymore.
“I can’t take it. I want to cum inside.”
“Okay, come here.”
She lay back and spread her legs.
“Huff… haa…”
I was so worked up that my breathing came out ragged. I thrust my cock straight into her pussy.
Squuuuish.
We were both soaking wet, so it slid in effortlessly.
“Hngh! Haa… all the way in? Go ahead, baby. Move as much as you want.”
“Haa… ah! Auntie, are you still calling me baby?”
“Hehe. Should I stop? It’s cute though.”
The way she stroked my head sent waves of pleasure through me. The thirst kept growing.
Schlick, squelch, schlick, squelch, slap, slap, slap.
I started slow, then gradually increased the speed of my thrusts.
“Haa… ngh… ahh, good… keep thrusting just like that.”
“Got it.”
She liked it when I thrust deep and steady. I leaned my body against hers, slowly picking up speed while kissing her.
Lick, slurp, smack, slurp.
“You’re good at kissing now too? Mmm…”
“Does it feel good for you, auntie?”
“Hngh! It feels so good. Yes… ahh!”
Slap, slap, slap, slap! Smack, smack, smack!
I couldn’t hold back anymore and sped up my pistoning. Our sweat- and love-juice-soaked thighs and asses collided, making obscene wet sounds.
“Ahh… mmm… come on, baby, cum quick. Haa… aren’t you tired? Hmm? Hngh!”
When she coaxed me like that, I couldn’t hold back the urge any longer.
“I’m cumming!”
Thrust, thrust, thrust, smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
“Cum for me!”
Thrustthrustthrustthrust!
Splurt splurt splurt spluuuurt! Spluuuuuur—!
Squiiish! Squirt!
The moment I came, my mind went blank and all strength left my body. Her legs wrapped around my waist. Feeling my body relax, I kissed her while still pressed against her.
Slurp, lick, smooch.
“Good job.”
Her hand stroking from my waist down to my ass milked out every last drop of semen. When I closed my eyes, she rolled over toward me. Without a word, she offered her breast again and gently stroked my head.
“Sleep well.”
“Good night.”
I fell asleep like I’d passed out, still sucking on her breast.
When I woke up, I felt soft, warm flesh inside the fluffy blanket. Still lying down, I pulled her close and sucked on her breast again.
Slurp… kiss.
I rubbed my cock against her thigh for a moment before getting up.
‘I should hold back a bit today.’
After having sex from morning yesterday and pushing my stamina to the limit, I decided to wait until night.
‘Should I just raise my stamina stat first?’
It was something I’d have to think about more.
Before the auntie woke up, I went up to the roof. Finally, I had 10 stacks.
“Random Tower Summon.”
I designated the range and summoned all ten stacks at once.
Groooooan! Groooooan!
Tree roots and vines shot up instantly, as if forming an entire forest.
“What a spectacle.”
There were quite a few new towers. I’d expected mostly Thorn Towers.
First, I checked the guaranteed flame-type tower.
Torch Tower Lv.1
A tower that charges torches.
◉ Removed torches last for 1 hour.
◉ Viewpoint can be switched.
“What the hell is this?”
An odd tower had appeared. I’d expected something that shot fireballs.
“Hmm… was my expectation too high?”
It was still useful, to be honest. Fire was important. Electricity would be cut off within fifteen days, so it wouldn’t be strange for the world to plunge into darkness at any moment. When that time came, the Torch Tower would be helpful.
“Still, it’s weird that it has levels.”
There was no way its level would rise just by lighting torches.
‘I’ll figure it out eventually.’
The next tower was a rectangular wooden structure. It looked sturdy, like the corner turrets or watchtowers of a medieval castle.
Wooden Watch Tower
A wooden tower with high durability.
◉ Automatically repairs when supplied with lumber.
◉ Viewpoint can be switched.
“Oh, it looks tough.”
With the auto-repair function, it could probably tank hits directly. Since two had been summoned, they’d be perfect for blocking the apartment entrance.
The last new tower was a warehouse.
Storehouse Tower
A tower for food storage.
◉ Maintains cool temperature.
◉ Viewpoint can be switched.
“This one’s actually practical.”
It was the largest tower I’d summoned so far. When I went inside, it was cooler than I expected.
‘This will be useful once we can’t use refrigerators anymore.’
It was a shame it wasn’t ideal for storing meat, though. Besides that, one Wooden Hammer Tower, one Wooden Spear Tower, and four Thorn Towers had been summoned.
Today, I decided to focus on maintaining the apartment. I blocked the apartment entrance with the wooden watchtowers.
‘I need to raise the levels of the hammer and spear towers too.’
While setting the re-summon range, I discovered something perfect.
“Towers can overlap?”
Even when I placed the hammer and spear tower summoning ranges over the Wooden Watch Tower, it stayed green. When I summoned them there, holes opened in the watchtower and spears protruded. The hammer was installed to strike downward from atop the watchtower.
“This is nice.”
Offensive and defensive towers combined perfectly.
‘I’ve upgraded and summoned them, so now it’s time to raise their levels.’
I gathered Group B.
“You, go to the fire station and borrow a fire truck.”
“What should I say it’s for?”
“We need the siren. Take this and tell them we’re borrowing it for a few days.”
I sent him off with some food that wouldn’t expire soon. I temporarily moved the Wooden Watch Tower aside.
“The rest of you, go gather wood.”
“Yes.”
“Does the type of wood matter?”
“No. You can even break furniture and bring it.”
A little later, a large fire truck rolled into the apartment complex.
“Where should I park it?”
“Right behind the apartment entrance.”
After thirty minutes, everything was ready. I blocked the apartment entrance again. When I placed lumber near the Wooden Watch Tower, it vanished like it had evaporated.
“Turn on the siren.”
“Is that okay? Zombies will swarm us.”
“That’s exactly why I borrowed the fire truck.”
“Understood.”
The guy with the buzz cut turned on the siren with trembling eyes.
Woooooo— Woooooo— Woooooo—
Wee-ooo, wee-ooo, wee-ooo—
The loud siren spread across the residential area and all the way to the shopping district. Startled by the sudden noise, residents burst out of their homes. Immediately, nearby zombie hordes began rushing toward us. The chorus of the undead echoed through the air.
