◈ 202. Smart Zombie (2)
zombi.
Even though they are called zombies, in reality they are nothing more than humans who have lost their sense of reason.
Zombies in movies don’t care if their limbs are blown off and keep charging toward the living, but zombies infected with the Haze virus can’t last more than a few minutes once their limbs are blown off or a large hole is made in their torso.
There was no need to aim for the head.
It was just a moving target that could cause shock death to the brain just by giving a strong impact to the torso.
Of course, in this lost world, zombies were abundant in enormous numbers, unlike in reality.
It wasn’t just one or two zombies running wildly, but hundreds or thousands of zombies running towards me, so I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the pressure.
“Hold on! Hold on!”
“You fucking zombies!”
The mercenaries, who kept firing bullets at the zombies rushing toward them until their guns glowed red, were so desperate that they could never retreat.
The words of their leaders, who had said they would aim for the head, had long since disappeared from their minds.
Actually, there was no need for that.
Even though he was hit in the torso, he flailed his limbs and then died.
However, while a rational human would have run away from the severe damage, the zombies just kept running regardless of whether the zombies around them died or not.
Intermittent explosive disorder.
It was a pathological anger management disorder, not a selective anger management disorder that occurs when looking at the other person.
They kept pushing forward until every single zombie was dead.
“Change the tank!”
Unfortunately, the bullets in the magazine ran out quickly.
The magazine that was inserted into the ammunition rack was empty, so I had to replace the magazine that wasn’t even full.
I thought I was well prepared, but I was wrong.
“Damn it! What the hell are the support guns doing?”
Although support attacks by bombers or helicopters are impossible, we have brought mortars.
Even though it was already time for the heat dissipation to be completed, he grumbled that no shells had come flying yet, but even mortar shells were no match for them. Before he could stop grumbling, a whistling sound was heard and it exploded above the heads of the zombies rushing in.
Boom! Boom bang!
The zombies’ bodies flew around with the explosion of the mortar shells.
Flesh burst and blood from the zombies’ bodies flowed out onto the floor.
Perhaps because of the heat of the shell, the excited blood seemed to rise into the air like a blood mist.
Everyone trembled in that crimson blood fog.
I realized that it was not a simple blood mist, but a poisonous mist mixed with the Haze Virus.
Of course, there were research results showing that the Haze virus dies within an hour when released outside the body.
It wasn’t a respiratory disease like the coronavirus or the common cold.
But I couldn’t be at ease, so jumping into the blood fog filled with the Haze virus would have been crazy.
The hope that we would be able to catch our breath with such mortar shells did not last.
“Those damn bastards!”
They were zombies that ran without a care even in the smoke caused by shells.
“We have approached the minefield!”
“Blow it up!”
As zombies rushed to the place where the Claymore was installed, the Claymore was detonated.
This time it was pretty effective.
Hundreds of zombies were smashed beyond recognition.
This time, the zombies didn’t jump through the thick gunpowder smoke, perhaps scaring them.
Of course, it was a few seconds of respite, and a few zombies, looking like street vagrants, limped towards us.
The end was in sight.
The limping zombies, either hit by bullet fragments or by stone debris, were no match for the experienced mercenaries.
bang!
After the last gunshot, the zombies approaching the military base’s barricade were no longer visible.
I couldn’t tell how much time had passed or how many zombies I had killed.
Everyone sat on the floor, exhausted, breathing heavily with blank expressions.
Less! Less! Less!
There were more than a few people who seemed to lose their sense of reason even from a small shock.
Despite expectations and preparations, war caused extreme stress that was too much for humans to handle.
While everyone was at a loss as to what to do, unable to find an answer to why they were here, a voice was heard.
“We have secured the cure!”
“remedy?”
That’s right.
The reason they were fighting monsters in this crazy world was because of the cure.
A cure for those who are more precious than their own lives.
Everyone looked towards the place where the voice came from, their eyes brightening at the shout that they had obtained the cure.
It was a bottle containing green liquid.
I still don’t understand it, but they say that if you kill ten thousand zombies, you can get one cure.
Some people muttered to themselves that they were logging out, wondering if they were in a game world, but unfortunately, it was not a dream but reality.
And although mercenaries could enter this world, they could not leave it of their own free will.
Jincheol looked at the mercenaries looking at the cure in his hand with pitiful eyes.
I knew what they wanted and I knew what motivated them to fight.
The fighting power of these people, who were definitely synchronized, was overwhelming.
He defeated ten thousand zombies without taking a single step back.
Jincheol offered the cure to Hansen, the leader of the mercenary group.
This cure was not his, but that of the mercenaries.

No matter how it is used, it is given to Hansen to follow the mercenaries’ will.
In this way, Hansen, as the representative of the mercenaries, grabbed the vial of medicine that Jincheol gave him.
“Is this really a cure?”
“Yes. If you administer the treatment within 24 hours of the onset of the disease, it will be cured.”
“So… does that mean I will have antibodies?”
“I can’t be sure about that. And I can’t be sure about whether or not you can be reinfected. The important thing is to prevent yourself from becoming infected.”
It was unknown whether a vaccine existed somewhere here, but everyone knew that Viscount Vincent’s second son had already been cured with a cure.
“Whew! Thank you. This medicine….”
There was no way to know who would get the disease.
But what was important was that a medicine was developed to save those who had contracted the disease.
We had already discussed among our mercenary colleagues how to use the cure once we obtained it.
Kill as many zombies as possible to obtain a large amount of cure.
That was the mercenaries’ first goal.
Hansen showed the cure to the other mercenaries and then handed it over to Viscount Vincent.
“Please treat the patient.”
“Don’t worry.”
Patients infected with the Haze virus were gathered in one facility.
We were observing the patient for 24 hours and were prepared to treat the patient with medication immediately if the patient developed symptoms.
Some hoped that they would be cured quickly with medication, as once they were treated, they would be able to live a normal life unless they were reinfected.
The mercenaries were encouraged when they finally secured a cure.
“Okay! Let’s secure the next cure right away!”
“I think it was said that although a cure is a cure, the raw materials for making the cure must be secured.”
“That’s right! If we just secure that, we won’t have to fight with those monsters.”
I had to kill ten thousand zombies.
And yet, it was only one cure, so it was a very unprofitable business.
The previous battle alone had used a huge amount of bullets and bombs.
Even though they had brought a considerable amount of ammunition and bombs in their truck, it was clear that they would run out of ammunition after a few more battles like this.
Once they ran out of bullets, the mercenaries were left with no choice.
The best thing was the vaccine, but everyone looked to Jincheol because they also had to secure the raw materials for the treatment.
He brought them here and it was through his powers that he was able to obtain the cure.
Without Jincheol, they wouldn’t be able to get out of here and into reality, so they’re holding on to their lifeline.
“The raw materials are most likely currently located in a research facility inside the city.”
“A research facility inside the city?”
Everyone looked at the black forest of buildings that appeared to be collapsed high-rise buildings.
It was a place with a dreary feeling.
It was a place that I didn’t necessarily want to go to because it was obvious at first glance that it would be dangerous.
But since it was a place they had to go to get what they wanted, they all looked at it with fearful but determined eyes.
“It’s not just monsters. There are survivors here too. If we unite with them, it’s not completely impossible.”
“Ah. You said there were those soldiers? But can we trust them?”
“Even if you can’t believe it, they probably don’t think doing business with us is a bad idea. We can continue to receive supplies from the mainland.”
We were able to continue to receive supplies of weapons and food through Jincheol.
Viscount Vincent said he would recruit more troops, so their power would increase as time passed.
Although the first battle was difficult, everyone thought they had a good chance of winning.
In any case, victory was achieved without a single sacrifice.
“Okay! Everyone, let’s start reinforcing the base! We don’t know when they’ll come again!”
“What do we do with the zombie corpses in the front yard?”
There were ten thousand zombie corpses.
The number was so great that it created a thick fog of blood, so I couldn’t just leave it alone.
The next disaster after war was the plague, and the foul smell and diseases from rotting corpses were another problem.
“You can just leave it alone.”
“yes?”
“It will disappear.”
Jincheol told the worried mercenaries to just leave them alone.
Rather than clearing out countless zombies, it would have been better to just find another forward base.
A few mercenaries tried to talk the countless zombie corpses in front of the military base into moving somewhere else.
But just as Jincheol said, after about an hour, the zombie corpses disappeared without a trace.
And all that could be seen moving were a few zombies wandering in the distance.
“Just leave it. Fortify the base first. And just in case, conduct another search!”
We started searching again, judging that there might be zombies inside the military base as well, as zombies seemed to respawn like in a game.
After finishing fortifying the military base, the mercenaries decided to search the surrounding area for a hunting ground to hunt zombies.
The battle at the military base was the last resort, so we decided to lure the zombies to a suitable hunting point and destroy them.
Since they were zombies suffering from intermittent explosive disorder, it was clear that they would flock to them like moths to a flame, not even knowing that they were being lured.
Of course, we couldn’t be at ease because there were special zombies.
Moreover, there was no way of knowing what kind of zombies might be inside the city.
Still, the mercenaries began to plan a foray into the city center, where they knew nothing about what might be there, in search of a perfect cure.
Jincheol decided to provide them with a large amount of supplies by mobilizing his points and funds.
But somehow Jincheol felt like he could understand.
“They were mercenaries.”
It occurred to me that the soldiers I thought were survivors might actually have been mercenaries from another world looking for a cure.
I had a feeling that they might have been stranded here for so long that they had forgotten what they were doing.
The dawn they were looking for might be a place to return to.
