◈ 214. Vaccine Development (2)

He was a pretty smart guy.

It seemed as if he had set up various traps and created several holes through which he could escape.

There were also special zombies that acted as escorts, as if they were a bodyguard.

It seemed to move organically and try to infect those who were not yet infected.

-It seems like they have their own territory.-

“That means there are more than one or two of those guys.”

-That is very likely.-

It was unclear how large Z City, the zombie den, was, but it seemed to be no smaller than Seoul City, if not larger.

It was difficult to drive deep into the area by car because buildings and bridges had collapsed here and there.

The huge city filled with countless buildings was difficult to search completely even with the current power.

The fact that there were intelligent zombies living as if they owned territory and leading other zombies made Jincheol think that this red-level danger zone was not easy at all.

Anyway, in order to create a vaccine, it was necessary to capture this intelligent zombie, so Jincheol launched a zombie capture operation with the help of the artificial intelligence Jumong.

First, we mobilized our troops to go hunting zombies in order to trick the zombies, who have very high intelligence.

As countless zombies swarmed in and the mercenaries fought desperately for survival against them, a group of special forces moved toward the place where the intelligent zombies were.

“Are you done planting the bomb?”

“Yes, the installation is complete.”

“Please keep in mind that this is not for killing zombies, but for capturing them.”

“Don’t worry.”

We prepared to plant bombs in advance on the escape route of the intelligent zombies and guide them to their destination.

“Please tell the main team to put more pressure on you.”

“All right.”

We mobilized all our firepower to wipe out the zombies that were advancing.

As the main force advanced and began to wipe out zombies on a large scale, the intelligent zombie deployed special zombies from among its personal guards.

It seemed like he realized that something was different than usual.

But that was what Jincheol wanted.

“We have to treat that guy Jaewoo well.”

Among the special zombies, the bodyguard zombies of the intelligent zombies called Alpha Zombies seemed to be more powerful than the other special zombies.

However, Jaewoo, who had been painting with jewels, was ready to snipe these special zombies from a distance.

When the special zombie appeared, Jae-woo started sniping with his powerful bow at the sniping point Ju-mong had told him about, with Ju-mong’s help.

Jaewoo’s sniper arrow, which extended like a beam of light from a distance comparable to a sniper rifle, pierced the special zombie’s head.

Plop!

A lot of points went into the special zombie that fell with its skull spreading out.

At first, it seemed like it was just a coincidence, but as each one was shot accurately, the Alpha Zombie finally seemed to realize that it was being targeted.

More and more zombies poured out of the buildings of the city, which resembled a giant graveyard.

Although I was daunted by the numbers that exceeded my expectations, I continued to eliminate zombies, even resorting to long-range artillery fire.

“Deploy two teams.”

“We are deploying two teams.”

While the main force of the large zombie force was being held back, a second reserve force was deployed.

They pushed their way towards the Alpha Zombie as if they knew exactly where it was.

Of course, we still don’t know the exact location.

The artificial intelligence Jumong told me roughly where it was most likely to be, so I aimed for that place.

Alpha Zombie responded to the second wave of troops by deploying its remaining forces.

He also mobilized the special zombies he had been saving, but this time Shinbi shook the Alpha Zombie by shooting the special zombies with a sniper rifle.

“Deploy team number 3.”

“Team number 3 is being deployed.”

As the Alpha Zombie reserves were deployed, a small number 3 team attacked from the other direction.

With their rapid mobility, Team 3 was loading what was believed to be a bomb onto their vehicle.

It was a move that made it clear that the intention was to quickly eliminate the Alpha Zombie, so the Alpha Zombie eventually abandoned its hideout and sought refuge in another hiding place.

Since there were so many zombies anyway, they decided that they could retaliate as much as they wanted as long as they were safe.

However, the movements of this alpha zombie were predicted with a fairly high probability by the artificial intelligence Jumong.

“Alpha zombies are on the move.”

“When you reach the escape route, detonate the bomb. Do not kill the Alpha Zombie.”

“Understood! Moving to the front of escape route 2. Faster than expected! Bomb 2 detonation!”

thud!

There was noise and vibration, and clouds of dust rose between the buildings in the city center.

If you were caught in the shockwave of the explosion, you would be pretty out of it.

“A zombie, presumed to be an alpha zombie, is moving!”

Small reconnaissance drones were tracking the movements of what were believed to be alpha zombies and reporting them in real time.

And high up in the sky, a large reconnaissance drone was continuously reporting the overall movements of the zombies.

Swoosh!

The artillery shells waiting far away were keeping the zombies in check as Jumong instructed, reducing the burden on the other teams.

Of course, even if you kill them like this, the zombies will respawn after 24 hours, so it was a meaningless act other than obtaining a cure.

“If we eliminate that Alpha Zombie, will we be able to eliminate the zombie wave in that area?”

When playing a defense game, you can liberate an area by eliminating the boss.

Jincheol began to have a somewhat hopeful thought that if he could catch the Alpha Zombie, the mass outbreak of zombies in this area might be eliminated.

Of course, the important thing now was to catch the Alpha Zombie.

“Alpha Zombie entered Area 3.”

“blasting!”

“blasting!”

Again there was a loud noise and vibration.

I must have been quite out of my mind.

“Okay. Come on.”

Now there were two places left.

One of them was where the bomb was installed, and the other was where Jincheol himself was waiting.

“Zombies are heading towards Area 1!”

“You’re being careful. Well, whatever. Send the reserve force to Sector 1.”

“But then the power here would be too weak.”

There were still powerful special zombies by Alpha Zombie’s side.

If we had already deployed the reserves, we could have been in trouble when we clashed with the Alpha Zombie.

“No problem. Just throw it in.”

Under Jincheol’s firm instructions, the reserve force eventually moved to Area 1.

Since the distinction between alpha zombies and special zombies is not yet clear, the reserve force is being deployed in hopes of escaping among the regular zombies.

Of course, he could have detonated the bomb before that, but he didn’t detonate it because he thought that Alpha Zombie would also have a bomb in the direction where Jincheol was, and he was worried that the lure operation would fail.

As the reserve forces began to fire bullets at the zombies escaping through Area 1, the Alpha Zombie had no choice but to escape through the last remaining passage.

But Alpha Zombie seemed to be more sophisticated and clever than expected.

-It seems like the operation failed.-

“What? Failure?”

-I think there was a cave that I didn’t notice.-

Alpha Zombie said that he was trying to escape in that direction, as if there was another passage that Jumong was unaware of.

Jincheol was in a panic and tried to head towards where the Alpha Zombie was trying to escape, but it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to make it in time since they had to go right into the middle of the city.

In the end, we were in a situation where we had to rush back through the passage we had been waiting in, and the traps we had prepared would have been useless.

But then the Alpha Zombie, which was heading towards a passage that had not been identified, changed direction again.

“What is the situation?”

-An unidentified group has appeared.-

“Unknown?”

Jincheol began to suspect that an unidentified group, not his own mercenary group, might be Vex’s group.

I couldn’t tell if they were right, but one thing I was sure of was that they were a huge help now.

“Everyone, get ready! Here we come!”

Eventually, Alpha Zombie also had no choice but to move in the direction where the trap was lurking.

It must have been a pretty hectic situation to be thinking about.

Still, it seemed like they were planning to break through the trap by sending out some pretty powerful special zombies as a last resort.

“shooting!”

“Aim only at special zombies!”

Three giant zombies that looked like special zombies at first glance ran towards us, blocking the hail of bullets with their entire bodies.

“Damn it! The bullets aren’t working!”

They were special zombies that could withstand powerful bullets as if they were wearing armor.

Because the reserve force was deployed elsewhere, there was not enough firepower.

Alpha Zombie seemed to think that he could easily escape from the weaker trap than he thought, so he mobilized his personal zombie guards to try to force his way through it.

“Can this bring dawn?”

Jincheol used a cowardly weapon against the zombies that were rushing towards him.

Flash!

A brilliant and powerful light fell from the reddish twilight sky to the ground.

Although it was not genuine, it was the spear of the sun god.

The special zombie that was unscathed by the bullet melted into light with a single hit.

Jincheol looked at the frozen Alpha Zombie while holding the Sun God’s spear that was shining brightly.

“Either you get caught quietly. Or you get hit and then get caught. It’s up to you.”

Alpha Zombies looked not much different from humans.

There were no bloodshot, red eyes typical of zombies, and no scars or marks on the face or body.

Alpha Zombie’s personal guards evaporated with the light, leaving only a few regular zombies next to Alpha Zombie.

As Jincheol slowly approached, the regular zombies rushed at him as if in a last-ditch effort, but Jincheol cut down the regular zombies with movements that rivaled those of special zombies.

In fact, I knew that they were enough on their own, so I deployed the reserves without any worries.

So, when the Alpha Zombie, now left alone, showed its hostility and tried to resist, Jincheol struck the Alpha Zombie in the stomach with his steel glove.

Phew!

“Ugh!”

Jincheol was a little discouraged by the similar reactions from people, but he did not hesitate to save billions of people.

Jincheol gave orders to the mercenaries to restrain the Alpha Zombie, who was sitting on the ground trembling, with restraints.

The operation was complete, so it was time to turn back.

There were two casualties and three infected, but once the Alpha Zombie was defeated, the area was liberated, just like in a defense game.

Of course, it’s not like there were no zombies at all.

But the endless stream of zombies was no longer visible.

There was a surrounding landscape that seemed to have brightened up a little.

“If we kill all the Alpha Zombies, will the world be liberated?”

The mercenaries were encouraged by the strange phenomenon, but neither Jincheol nor any of them could guess that they had only just passed the tutorial.

Jincheol, who had obtained a blood sample of an Alpha Zombie that was believed to have antibodies to the Haze Virus, took the sample back to the hospital where Olivia was.

In conclusion, it was difficult to create a vaccine using the blood of this alpha zombie.

Still, I was able to hear from Olivia about the location of the purple flower that was the raw material for the cure.

Naturally, another Alpha Zombie was ruling the place.

And this time, Alpha Zombie seemed to have a very cliche game-like setting where it seemed like the brain had a higher intelligence or had superpower-like abilities.

“I think we’ll also need samples of zombies with that intelligence.”

I received a request for another sample of the Alpha Zombie from Olivia.

However, since so many supplies had been consumed, it seemed like it would take some time to get to the Alpha Zombie area.
