Chapter 29. The Great Migration.
With the mood carrying us that far, I sat down on the bed next to Jia, who was still lying there.
"Jia, what the hell did you eat to turn out this shameless?"
"Hmm~ Who knows?"
Jia pushed herself up, slid off the bed, and knelt in front of me. Then she took me into her mouth and began swirling her tongue. When I glanced down, I saw her touching herself while she did it.
Just before I came, I stopped her. I had a feeling that if I finished now, I really wasn't going to be able to go again... She climbed back onto the bed and lay face down.
"Sihu, put it inside me..."
I ignored her plea and slid my fingers into her pussy instead.
"Hnngk—!"
I crooked my fingers and moved them as if I meant to scoop out every last trace of semen inside her.
— Squelch. Squelch. Squelch.
"Ah, Sihu... hnng..."
From the faint moans she was making, she still seemed to be holding up. I pulled her upper body upright and started tormenting her areolae and nipples with my fingers. The moment I teased them gently, she reacted.
"Sihu, my chest is sensitive, I told you...!"
I pulled my fingers out of her pussy, pressed myself against her from behind, and kept at her breasts without mercy.
"Hnng... now put it in my pussy, please..."
Deciding it was about time, I pinched her nipple a little harder, and she may have come right then, because the sheet underneath her grew slightly damp.
"Jia, you came just from that, and you're still this wet?"
"Th-that's... because it's you, Sihu..."
I pushed her upper body back down, lifted her hips, rubbed against her entrance, and then drove my cock inside in one thrust.
"Hnngaah—!!"
Her ass started trembling, and before I knew what I was doing, my palm came down on it.
'Wait, did I just do that without thinking...?'
But the instant I spanked her, her pussy clenched tighter around me. And she wriggled her butt gently, like she wanted more.
"Our Jia, you seem to enjoy getting hit. Does that make you a pervert?"
She buried her face in the pillow and said nothing. I grabbed both of her hands and pulled her upper body upright. Holding her like that, I pounded into her relentlessly.
"Hn... hn... haa... harder, please..."
— Smack. Smack. Smack. Smack.
I let go of one hand and started spanking Jia's ass with the other.
"Kyaah—!"
'I would never have guessed that Jia, with that innocent face, had this kind of taste...'
Then Jia turned her head a little and whined for a kiss. I wrapped a hand lightly around her throat and pulled her head toward me to make it easier.
— Chu... churp... smack...
"Hhaa—! Hic—! Sihu, it feels so good—!"
The tightness was too much. I'd already come so many times, so the urge to climax hit me faster than I expected. I didn't hold it back and spilled myself deep inside Jia.
— Smack. Splurt... splurt...
"Heuu...♡"
With that single moan, Jia fell asleep as though she'd fainted. Same as I did with Chaeyeon, I infused her with energy, then settled down to sleep.
I woke to sunlight hitting my face. Jia was still asleep beside me. Using my energy, I erased the traces of the night before, then carefully got up so I wouldn't wake her and went to wash.
The sound of the water must have woken Jia; she was lying on her stomach on the bed, smiling at me.
I smiled back, gave her a light kiss, and said,
"Jia, you're a total pervert."
"Eek! I didn't know either, but it turns out I do have that kind of taste..."
I pulled her into a gentle hug.
"What do you mean? When I see a lewd Jia, I get excited myself."
"Th-this is a side of me I only show you, Sihu—!"
I laughed, stroked Jia's butt lightly, and told her to go wash up.
* * * * * * * *
Once we'd finished getting ready, Jia and I went to the department store. There we saw the others and the church members Seo Ji-hoon had brought with him. I ran into Chaeyeon, who came over to us with a sly grin.
"Jia, did you have a good talk with Sihu?"
"Yes, a very good talk with Sihu ♡."
Chaeyeon leaned in close to Jia, and the two of them began whispering to each other.
"Isn't Sihu's huge?"
"Just like you said, it's really huge... it was bigger than what I saw in the video..."
"Still, it felt so good I thought I was going to fly away..."
"M-me too...!"
"I can hear everything you're saying, so cut it out..."
"Sihu! How can you eavesdrop?!"
'I can hear it all whether I want to or not, what do you expect...'
Anyway, we ate and then went down to the first floor, where everyone had gathered.
'Ah, those guys still haven't taken off their church robes.'
"Savior..."
"Gasp... and the Saintess is with him..."
"Who is the person next to her?"
Our people, who had already heard the talk, glanced at Chaeyeon at the word "Saintess" and snickered. Naturally, Chaeyeon's face turned bright red.
"Heh, Chaeyeon, should I call you Saintess too?"
"Jia, not you too—!"
While the two of them bickered, I stepped forward and addressed everyone.
"As most of you are aware, we plan to relocate to the district office. From there, we will eventually make our way to the military base. Are there any questions?"
They only knew the broad strokes. The detailed operation plans were something only the command staff were privy to. Maybe that was why someone raised a hand to ask a question.
"I heard we're moving because supplies are running low and it's getting too difficult to source them in the city center. But why are we stopping at the district office instead of heading straight to the base?"
"Because the route is blocked by a horde of zombies composed entirely of Mutants."
The moment they heard it wasn't just ordinary zombies but a horde of Mutants, murmuring broke out.
"Th-then is there no way around?"
"There is a way, but... moving this many people together isn't easy. The roads are choked with abandoned vehicles and zombies, and more than anything, sourcing food along the way is hard. Not everyone even has a vehicle to ride in."
Some whispered among themselves about how dangerous it was, while others visibly steeled themselves to endure. And in situations like this, there's always someone ready to pour cold water on the plan.
"C-can't we just wait until the combat team secures it and it's safe, then go...?"
"So the combat team busts their asses clearing the area, and you'll just stroll in once it's safe. Is that it?"
"Th-that's not what I..."
"They aren't idiots, and there's not a single reason they owe you that. Everything they've done so far has been a favor they've extended to you. When they were out risking their lives, what were you doing here?"
"...I'm sorry. I suppose I was taking their consideration for granted..."
'The moment life gets comfortable, the ones who muddy the waters start crawling out of the woodwork.'
Still, I was glad that guy didn't cross the line any further and seemed capable of self-reflection. And I felt a little disappointed, too. People like that need to show themselves if I'm going to make an example out of them.
"Since there are no more questions, we will now depart."
With that, our brief time at the department store came to an end, and everyone began to move.
* * * * * * * *
We dealt with zombies along the way and arrived at the district office fairly smoothly. First, we parked the vehicles loaded with supplies in a corner of the underground parking garage. Then we moved the people into the server room.
"Our combat team will go confirm and handle the zombies I mentioned earlier. We're leaving you here because the door is sturdy, and if something happens while we're gone, you'll have plenty of time to respond."
The people seemed to grasp my intent; they simply nodded without a word.
"There's also a chance that people other than zombies might show up—the wrong kind of people. We will always announce ourselves via radio at the door, and if the radios fail, we will knock exactly six times. Anything else is not us. Do not open the door."
I closed the door. Once I confirmed the metallic sound of the lock engaging from the inside, we headed outside.
The combat team consisted of our original group, Seo Ji-hoon, and a handful of soldiers. We first made our way toward a school well-known in South Korea for its engineering program.
To keep the noise down, we had Jia handle almost all the zombies at long range.
"Mr. Sihu, I've been meaning to ask—where did you get the weapons those people are carrying?"
"They belonged to some acquaintances of mine back when I was on Titan."
To be precise, some of them I acquired by killing the previous owners. They say even brushing sleeves is fate, so if you've crossed swords with someone, doesn't that basically make you acquaintances(?)
Surprisingly, as we looked around the school, it was the usual(?) scene of corpses and zombies. I didn't sense anything especially unusual. Once we'd surveyed the whole campus and lunchtime approached, we went into a lecture hall in one of the buildings.
We were having an ordinary meal when Seo Ji-hoon asked an unexpected question.
"Mr. Sihu, you possess such tremendous power—why don't you take a more proactive role?"
If someone else had asked, it would have been a fairly irritating question. It was essentially "Why don't you actively use that power to help people," after all. But I could tell Seo Ji-hoon was asking out of pure curiosity. When he saw me pause to think, he must have assumed he'd offended me, because he quickly waved his hand.
"Ah, no... I didn't mean 'use it for others' or anything like that... I was really just...!"
"I know. I was only thinking about how to answer your honest question. Actually, back on Titan..."
At the mention of Titan, everyone's interest seemed piqued, and they quietly gathered around.
"There was a time I did something for my own reasons that ended up helping others by accident. But then they assigned their own meaning to it and started treating me like a 'hero.'"
"..."
"No matter how many times I insisted that wasn't my intention, they refused to listen and just kept glorifying me. And among themselves, they'd doubt me, get disappointed in me, and project their expectations onto me. That's why I don't take a proactive role. Besides, I don't have some calling to save people to begin with."
"Honestly, I was just curious. With that kind of power, if you built your own force, you could do anything..."
"I've already tried that. So I don't bother."
We wrapped up the awkward meal and started moving again.
After tidying up, we moved on to the adjacent school, but before we'd gone far, I felt a tremendous wave of evil energy in the distance.
