Episode 29
【The Secret of Simcheongjeon】
I jumped up and thought about how to resolve this situation.
It’s best to blow it all up in one go.
Ah! That would work.
I made a plan in my head.
There must be a lot of water zombies near the 10th floor, which is the starting point of the ladder, right?
As I expected, water zombies were waiting to climb the ladder from the 8th floor.
Even with the golden shield, it seemed like it would be impossible to break through that dense mass of water zombies.
Then I guess I should go outside like those guys.
I opened the window on the 7th floor, hung the safety hook on the railing to prevent falling, and climbed up the railing.
After standing up from the railing, I released the safety hook and hooked it to the railing on the 8th floor above.
Then, I climbed upstairs as if I was rock climbing.
The water zombies were just waiting for me to climb up the ladder, so they didn’t pay attention to me outside the window.
I reached the 9th floor safely without any disturbance.
Then, as I climbed up to the 10th floor, I saw a water zombie ladder standing right next to me.
I made eye contact with a water zombie carrying a tall ladder on its shoulder.
The blue glow in his eyes seemed to indicate that he recognized me, but there was nothing he could do.
If you move your body even a little bit to attack me, the ladder you are carrying on your shoulders will collapse and fall down.
I waved at the guy as if I was giving him medicine and went up to the 11th floor.
As expected, there weren’t any water zombies on the 11th floor.
So, shall we get to work now?
I went inside to the 11th floor and ran to the kitchen.
After opening the gas valve, I cut the gas pipe with a knife.
Shhh!
The gas was colorless so it couldn’t be seen, but the sound of it leaking could be heard.
In other buildings, the gas pipes were cut by water monsters such as the four limbs, completely depleting the gas, or, like in Building 101, they caught fire and caused a major fire.
Fortunately, however, our unit had no damage to the gas pipes.
Since there was still some gas left, I was able to turn on the gas range and cook.
I checked that all the doors on the 11th floor, including the windows, were sealed and then went up.
And then I went straight to the next task.
I tied the safety rope to the railing of the 12th floor window and stretched my upper body out to reach the edge of the 11th floor window.
“You salty infidel! I thought you were dead, but you’re still alive?”
I heard the resident representative’s angry voice, as if he recognized me through the water zombies.
“Good. Good. It’s so unfair that you killed my son and then died a peaceful death with water in your lungs. Just wait a little longer. I’ll make you think that being tied to the captain of the Bangjuseon is better.”
Bomi and Hoyoung’s voices were heard at the threat of the tenant representative.
“What! You witch! You said the old man was dead. Are you still alive?”
“The old man is alive?! Hey! Hey! Where are you?”
I didn’t answer because I had something to do.
He set fire to the paper and opened the window on the 11th floor slightly.
He threw the fire he was holding inside and immediately raised his body to avoid it.
As soon as the fire was thrown inside, the gas that had filled the 11th floor exploded.
There was a huge ‘bang!’ explosion, and all the windows shattered, sending debris flying out.
The explosion was not very strong compared to the loud noise that made my head ring.
This was because the amount of gas was not large, as there was only gas left in the gas pipe.
There was only a little black smoke, but no fire.
But the water zombies were already precariously holding on, with their bodies only half-dead or half-dead, their ribs and pelvic bones torn off, etc.
As the shock of the small explosion hit, it fell limply like dominoes.
The water zombies that had filled the outer wall fell into the sea.
“Ahhh! Our babies!”
The resident representative screamed almost like a scream, but Bomi and Hoyoung cheered.
“It’s the real uncle! The uncle came to save us!”
“Wow! I blew up all the zombies in one shot! As expected from an old man! Where are you? Old man!”
The children stuck their heads out from the rooftop and looked down to find me.
“Ah! There it is. Sir!”
Hoyoung, with a bright smile on his face, and Bomi, with tears welling up in her eyes, looked down at me.
I waved to the children.
Bomi shouted in an angry voice.
“No! Where have you been? I thought you were dead.”
“We were only a few hours away, what are you fussing about? You’re being too harsh, Bomi!”
“How many hours? You’ve been gone for three days.”
Bomi glared at me and shouted.
three days?
Did I hear wrong?
Since we were some distance away, we were shouting loudly.
I raised my voice and asked again.
“Three days?”
“Yes. That’s why I thought you were dead. That old lady said you were dead too.”
The tenant representative couldn’t find me, so he assumed I was dead, but how can it be that it’s been three days?
I once read an old tale about someone who went to a paradise-like other world and came back only to find that a huge amount of time had passed and everyone he knew, including his family, had died.
Is it possible that the timeline of the Dragon Palace is different from that outside?
At that moment, the sound of water zombies coming up from below was heard.
“Hoyoung! Drop the rope down the broken stairs.”
I shouted and climbed up.
I jumped up, but the sound of someone chasing me from behind got closer and closer.
When I looked back, a four-legged thing was running towards me fiercely.
Wow! The tenant representative has a good imagination, he even makes such weird things.
I took the last key out of my pocket and threw it on the floor.
The hammer was a low-cost, high-efficiency weapon.
Make a lot of it later and use it to your heart’s content without feeling sorry for it.
The four-legged creature tripped on the iron bar and fell down the stairs.
As a result, the water zombies that were following behind fell down, creating chaos.
Sure! The hammer! I clenched my fist.
I walked up, leaving plenty of space for me to relax.
Finally, I arrived at the broken staircase.
The water zombies must have all been dealt with, as not a single one of the water zombies that had been lurking around was visible.
Instead of a water polo, a rope was lowered down from the sky like a rope.
“Mister! Mister!”
Bomi and Hoyoung waved at me happily.
“Why did you come down when I didn’t call you, Bomi? You have to guard the rooftop.”
“What did you say? I came running because I missed you.”
“You never know what the tenant representative might do.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll go up.”
Bomi disappeared with her cheeks puffed out.
I held onto the rope and climbed up.
As I went up, Hoyoung ran up to me, grabbed my body, and spoke in a voice that sounded like he was about to cry.
“Sir! I really thought you were dead.”
“Yeah. Sorry. I didn’t realize time had passed like this.”
I patted Hoyoung on the back and reassured him.
I felt something salty welling up in my heart.
Although it was a little different from camaraderie, it had a similar feel in that it was tight and hot.
“Hoyoung, instead, the uncle brought you a fun gift.”
I took out the snow globe I had picked up at the Dragon Palace.
Hoyoung looked at the snow globe with shining eyes as if he was amazed.
“Oh! There’s an apartment inside. Is this our apartment?”
“Oh. Right.”
“Where did you come from?”
As Hoyoung, who had been looking around, moved the stick to the dog, the cloudy glass turned transparent.
“Wow, what effect does this have?”
“Uh. Well, I don’t know because I picked it up.”
Hoyoung had fun moving the stick from side to side.
At that moment, Bomi’s urgent voice was heard from above.
“Sir! Come up here quickly!”
Hoyoung and I ran up to the rooftop.
“what’s the matter?”
Bomi, who saw me coming out of the emergency exit, answered while pointing to building 106.
“Look at that.”
I turned my head and saw a water zombie with enormous shoulder pads, holding another water zombie and throwing it towards me with all his might.
The water zombies fired from the shoulder pads flew in a parabolic arc like cannonballs.
But because the distance was so far, it was impossible to come all the way to Building 110.
“Just wait a moment. I’ll send our babies away.”
The tenant representative shouted and stabbed the shoulder zombie’s chest, arms, and shoulder muscles with a stapler.
The bright red muscles, which looked like chicken breasts, looked like they had been taken from fresh water zombies.
His biceps, which were covered in thick muscles, were almost as big as a person’s head, and his chest and shoulders were swollen as if he was wearing a parka.
“Okay. Now show me your muscle power!”
At the direction of the resident representative, Kkul-boong grabbed the water zombie next to him again and spun it around over his head.
Then he threw it at us with all his might, as if he was doing shot put.
This parabola was pretty high.
If I do this well, I’ll land on the roof.
I hurriedly took out my shield and three-sectioned spear.
Bomi and Hoyoung also took out a knife and a hammer.
But in the end, the water zombie ran out of strength and ended up stuck on the outer wall of the 18th floor.
It was crushed like a fly hit by a flyswatter, then slid down and fell into the sea.
“Oh, dear. What a pity. Don’t worry, you salty non-believer! I’ll definitely let you go this time.”
The tenant representative started to put muscles on the shoulder pads again.
I looked back at Bomi and said.
“Bomi. Put an arrow in that shoulder pad.”
“It won’t work.”
“Huh! Why? The arrows reached Building 106.”
“I have no arrows. I used them all up to catch the ones coming up. There is still some flesh left on the branches, but I won’t be able to fly that far. And even if I do fly, I might not be able to retrieve it, so I can’t take the risk.”
“Then why can’t I just shoot this?”
I took out the arrows that were in my tool belt.
It was an authentic arrow like the ones seen in historical dramas, with a pointed metal arrowhead, a wooden shaft, feathers made from the large feathers of bird wings, and even a pattern on the arrow head to fit it onto the bowstring.
Bomi, who had received the arrow, examined it with her hands as if weighing it.
“This thing has a perfect center of gravity. Where did you get it?”
Bomi asked, raising her thumb.
“It’ll take a long time to explain, so let’s just block that shoulder pad first.”
“all right.”
Bomi shot an arrow in archery.
He pulled the protest toward his lips and then controlled his breathing.
The resident representative stepped back from the shoulder pad, as if the muscle reinforcement was complete.
The shoulder bug grabbed the water zombie next to him by the collar and started spinning it around.
Bomi took a deep breath and released the bowstring.
