This Is Not a Game - This Is Not a Game chapter 140

run away

Under the flickering lights of fluorescent lights, an underground plaza appeared.

After waiting for a long time, the zombies were not visible, so Meteor was the first to put himself into the hole, followed by soldiers one after another.

As soon as the last person came out the aisle, the hole was filled as if they had been waiting.

The way back is gone.

Whether it was porridge or rice, he had no choice but to move forward.

‘Well, it doesn’t seem like anyone has any intention of going back, though.’

As if they weren’t afraid of zombies, the soldiers immediately scattered in all directions as soon as they came out through the passage and entered the border of the four weeks.

Among them, there was one that caught my attention.

A soldier with a huge mountaineering bag in front and behind and a machine gun with ammunition slung over his shoulders.

Knowing that all the things in that bag were ammunition and grenades, Yooseong made a strange expression.

Although the physical ability of the people of this world is stronger than that of the people of Earth, it is not to the extent that they can carry and move a load of that weight casually.

The soldier carrying the burden was a person who had acquired superhuman strength, an extremely rare case.

The problem was that this soldier did not become stronger after being bitten by a zombie, but gained strength in the process of returning to a human after eating a health recovery potion from a zombie.

‘Zombie virus. No, I’m not sure if it’s a virus yet, but anyway, does the zombie virus have the effect of raising physical abilities? First of all, even if you only see zombies, your stamina increases enormously… … .’

Yooseong used two bottles of health recovery potion to prove the vaccine to people and to see if they could really strengthen their physical abilities using the zombie virus.

Only the first soldier’s physical abilities improved, and the other two returned to normal human form, but Yuseong was not disappointed.

‘Even if the probability is not high, it doesn’t matter. Even if the probability is less than 1%, if you can increase your physical abilities, you can increase the power of the earth in a short period of time.’

“… … Did you put anything on my face?”

“sorry. I remember looking at him as a zombie, so I stared at him without realizing it.”

“Oh, hmmm.”

The soldier scratched his head with a puzzled expression.

Although he had heard from his superiors and colleagues that he had been bitten by a climber, ate the vaccine and returned to human form, and had seen the vaccine work twice, he could not easily dismiss the fact that he had once become a monster. there was no

I wanted to say something to the person who made me remember the memories I wanted to forget, but it was ambiguous to say anything because he was the person who brought me back to being human.

“If possible, please refrain from useless chatter.”

Hearing Alex’s faint voice, Yuseong turned his gaze forward.

I wasn’t in a safe place or relaxed enough to think about other things now.

‘Let’s focus on the quest now.’

After confirming that Yooseong was awake, Alex sent a hand signal to move forward.

Yooseong quietly moved forward in line with the movements of the soldiers, scanning the surroundings.

Broken windows and objects scattered everywhere, blood splattered to the ceiling and flesh that stung the nostrils, explained what had happened here.

Yoosung, who was carefully moving forward so as not to step on anything, put his finger on the bloodstain nearby.

‘This is also dry.’

There is absolutely no way that there are few people in the underground shopping mall below the large shopping mall, and even in the place connected to the subway.

Contrary to expectations, however, zombies were occasionally seen as if sprouted from a drought, and all remaining traces were old ones.

“Something is strange.”

Alex also tilted his head, as if feeling strange.

However, it was impossible to make a sound on purpose to check if there were zombies, so Alex just ended up wondering, but Yuseong, who had had a similar experience, guessed what had happened and bit his lip.

‘Are they all gathered elsewhere?’

All the roads to the top were blocked, so they probably all headed underground.

‘I’m glad we went in the opposite direction, not the direction we’re going…’ … .’

Avoid possible engagements and silently deal with zombies that cannot be avoided using a greatsword so that they do not make a sound.

Alex, who took a long time to enter the subway platform, confirmed that there were no zombies and gave the order to rest.

The only thing the soldiers could take out was their weapons, so the party, who ate meals with the food and drinking water that Yooseong had, approached the screen door that was shattered.

gulp.

The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva echoed.

Because the electricity was not cut off, we were able to secure a view, but there are far more spaces in the subway tracks that are not lit than spaces that are illuminated.

It would have been better if they had night vision goggles, but neither the U.S. troops originally dispatched for the rescue mission nor Meteor were prepared for the battle in the dark.

I made a makeshift night gear by taping a small flashlight I picked up from the mall to the barrel and helmet, but I wasn’t sure how effective it would be.

“You never know what will happen from now on. Eat your heart out, everyone.”

“Before that, I want to ask you something.”

“what?”

“What should I do if I find them?”

A straight tunnel blocked on all sides.

It is the worst terrain where it is impossible to turn around or hide, and even sound spreads.

“If the minority did not notice this side, it will be dealt with with a great sword. But they are outnumbered, and if you spot this one, pull the trigger right away, even without an order.”

“Can I? If you hear the sound and they come… … .”

“Even if we don’t shoot, they’re going to scream. In that case, it is better to attack first and reduce the risk.”

Alex’s judgment was the same as Yuseong’s.

I didn’t even think that I would be able to get through the subway without getting noticed by zombies in the first place.

‘Push with overwhelming firepower.’

The firepower that one person can produce and the firepower that seven people can produce are on a different level.

There is even a machine gun, so you will be able to defeat the level of zombie attacks without difficulty.

Yoosung, who went down the subway track, put his finger on the trigger and followed Alex, who was ahead.

hard.

beat, beat, beat.

The sound of hard boot soles colliding with tracks and pebbles being stepped on echoed through the tunnel.

Realizing that it was impossible to move while remaining quiet, the soldiers made even more nervous expressions.

It took a long time to move like that.

A strange sound came from somewhere.

Clap clack.

It sounds like splashing water or the sound of something damp hitting it.

Either way, it was a sound that shouldn’t be heard underground.

Soon the sound disappeared, but people’s tension, rather than diminishing, rather peaked.

There is no way the sound will stop for no reason.

It was obvious that the sounding beings had noticed their presence and were watching them from hiding in the dark.

“Everyone get your back. If you think something is wrong, just shoot it.”

Yoosung moved slowly with his back to back with Alex activated.

‘what? Did he even run away?’

I checked all the places where the light couldn’t reach by shining a light on them, but I couldn’t see any zombies anywhere.

“Isn’t the water leaking somewhere?”

A few people nodded their heads at someone’s guess.

Yooseong also thought it was plausible and relaxed.

No, it was released.

iron puck.

With a small shock, a cold touch came up his cheek.

Yoosung didn’t do anything stupid to wipe the liquid off his cheek or look up to see what was above him.

As soon as he realized that something had landed on his cheek, he immediately jumped forward, and with the sound of a whip being swung, a long object hit the place where the meteor had just been.

bang!

Something fell from the ceiling with a sharp gunshot.

Disproportionately enlarged palms and soles.

A flat body and an elongated tongue.

It was a variant, a climber, with the ability to climb walls.

‘Somehow I thought I couldn’t see it, but it was attached to the ceiling.’

“… … Wait, the ceiling?”

Recalling the fact that he had overlooked, Yooseong raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

There was nothing where the light shined, but what Meteor wanted to check was another place.

“… … .”

The light from the flashlights cleared the darkness, revealing climbers clinging together like bats and licking their tongues like snakes preying on their prey.

Kick, kick kick.

It sounded like a ridicule as if I knew it now.

No, judging from the smile on his face, it was clear that he was really laughing at him.

However, the situation was too bad to punish him.

“Everyone run!”

As soon as the meteor gave orders, people rushed forward with all their might, followed by climbers.

Tadadadang!

Climbers climb the ceiling and walls like insects.

It was a sight that could only come out of a nightmare, but Yooseong and other soldiers did not panic and pulled the trigger, knocking the climbers down with an astonishing accuracy rate.

Meteor has seen more terrible things in the meantime, and the soldiers have been building tolerance by killing countless zombies and mutants.

I don’t know if he was in a state of excitement and fired bullets at random, but this level of numbers was barely manageable if he kept his composure.

There was also a secret weapon for the party.

Do-do-do-do-do!

The machine gun’s tremendous rate of fire and power literally shook climbers.

Was it intimidated by the overwhelming visual?

The climbers, who had been constantly rushing forward, began to retreat in an instant, like the ebb tide.

However, instead of rejoicing in the victory, the party quickly replenished a new magazine from the bag and ran forward.

Gunshots, incomparable to the sound of footsteps, echoed for a long time.

It was obvious what would happen after that.

Woo!

Ayeek!

huge monster.

The sounds made by countless zombies reflected and echoed in the tunnel, becoming an indescribable grotesque reverberation.

I hadn’t seen one so far, but I could imagine how many zombies were running towards this place just from the constant noise I heard.

‘… … Why can’t I hear the sound only from behind?’

While everyone ran in contemplation, Yuseong calmly analyzed the situation.

Like on the ground, there could have been a large-scale event that would attract zombie aggro and zombies flocked to one place, but the existence of the climber on this side was bothering me.

Yuseong did not neglect his surroundings while running away, and thanks to that, he was able to calmly respond to unexpected surprises without panic.

Kwajik!

“Kuk!”

Something popped out of the dark.

I reflexively raised my gun to block the charge, but a momentary shock came over me that took my breath away.

Yuseong, who was looking at the cracked gun barrel with absurd eyes, was able to realize the identity of the enemy when he heard Alex’s voice coming from behind.

“It’s the radar!”

A bizarre mutant with a skinny body and a stooped posture like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.

However, unlike his funny appearance, his instantaneous speed was unmatched.

Yoosung, who narrowly avoided the follow-up by activating the Sura Sensitivity, hit Radar in the head with the butt.

I subdued one in an instant, but as if this was just the beginning, a number of raiders began to emerge from the darkness.

‘Could it be that only mutants are gathered here?’
