NOVEL NEXT chapter 15
new colleague (1)
“Both of you, put your hands on top of your head and get out of the car.”
Even as we got out of the car, the tense soldier’s gun was still pointed at our heads.
“Are you an awakened person?”
A stocky Marine Corps sergeant approached me and asked.
“yes.”
He came down unscathed from the zombie-infested mountain, so if he said no, he would only be suspicious, so he said it honestly.
“Can I check to see if you’ve been bitten by a zombie?”
“Yes, but as you can see, my colleague has all his skin exposed, so please check with your eyes.”
“All right.”
As the sergeant beckoned, the soldier with the epaulet on his shoulder touched and examined my body.
“Clean.”
Then, he moved to the side and inspected Ilena’s body here and there. Without touching your hands, of course.
“This one is also clean.”
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
When the sergeant confirmed that there were no wounds, the soldiers lowered their guns.
“Can I see your ID?”
Knowing that you are an awakened person and asking for your ID means that you will figure out your identity, which means that you will call me in case of emergency.
‘The government responded quickly.’
Less than a day has passed since the apocalypse began, but troops are deployed in places where zombies appear, and the identities of the awakened are being identified.
‘There is an Awakener among the Cabinet.’
Otherwise, we cannot react quickly enough to deploy troops on an obscure mountain on the first day of the apocalypse.
“Can I ask you a question before I give you your ID?”
“I see.”
“Since when have you been here?”
The officer thought about my question for a while and then opened his mouth.
“It has been since midnight.”
Again, it was as I expected. Even if I couldn’t tell who it was, it was fortunate that he was not a villain when he stopped zombies.
“All right.”
I took out my driver’s license from the car shelf and handed it over.
He could have summoned Black to subdue them and run away, but he didn’t have to.
They don’t know that I’m an ‘iron man’ and I won’t go home again after today.
“Sir Kang-Jun Seo, please tell us what kind of job you have awakened to.”
“He is an advanced warrior.”
“I see.”
“Is the person next to you a summons?”
“Yes, my job is an archer.”
The sergeant took out a notebook and wrote down my personal information. Seeing that he even knew the number of summons, my prediction became clear.
“All right. The government will contact you soon, so please be careful not to turn off your cell phone.”
“I see. Then can we go now?”
“Yes, you may go.”
The road home was relatively better than I expected for the first day of the end.
Occasionally seen zombies.
Screams and gunshots are heard everywhere.
Accident cars on the shoulder of the road.
It was all around the mountain.
When I entered the residential area, I didn’t see a single zombie, and I saw a few people walking on the street.
Arrive at home.
“Wait here for a moment. I will come down soon.”
“Yes, Master.”
I saw Ilena smiling at me.
Short pants made of woven grass.
A top that is no different from a bikini.
and pointy ears.
Ilena’s outfit now draws people’s attention. I guess I’ll have to buy some clothes.
I got out of the car and headed home.
***
Ding dong!
A man in his early twenties rang the bell.
-who are you?
-Mr. Yoo Harin, this is Kim Man-Hop.
When she picked up the intercom, Harin Yu tilted her head at the sight of a strange man on the screen.
-I don’t know how you know my name, but I don’t know who you are.
-That xx swimming pool 1st class is the same person.
The face of one of the men he was flirting with appeared in Yu Harin’s mind, and it matched the man on the screen.
-ah···. Yes, but how did you find out about the house?
-Some of the people at the pool live in this neighborhood. Can we talk for a minute?
I stopped going to the pool because I didn’t want to see that gang.
-I have nothing more to say, so please stop going back.
It was time to put down the intercom while saying that.
“Mister, who are you?”
A voice over the receiver.
It was Hajin, the younger brother.
Harin Yu put down the intercom.
“I am your sister’s friend.”
Kim Man-ho looked at the face of the child who asked who he was. Her big eyes resemble Yu Harin’s.
‘It’s Yoo Harin’s younger brother.’
Unsurprisingly, Harin Yoo opened the door and came out, saying that she had nothing more to say with her.
“Yoo Ha-jin! when did you go out Don’t go home soon!”
Harin Yoo got angry at her brother and pushed her back into the house. As he was about to enter the house, Kim Man-ho’s hand grabbed the door.
“Mr. Kim Man-ho, since I have nothing to say, could you please put your hand away?”
Yu Ha-rin, with an annoyed face, glared at Kim Man-ho and said,
“Ha~ I really don’t like that expression.”
Kim Man-ho began to get annoyed at the thought that Yoo Ha-rin’s gaze was looking at him as if he were looking at a dirty insect.
“Harin, you know there are zombies walking around outside, right? That’s not the end. It will become even more dangerous in the future, but can a woman live by herself protecting her younger sister?”
When Kim Man-ho opened his mouth, yellow teeth covered in tartar were exposed.
“I’ll take care of that, so please stop and go back.”
“Ha~, I didn’t want to say anything like this, but did you see the news about the activation of PK?”
Yu Harin had also played Monster Apocalypse, and it was a fact I knew from the news.
“Looking at your expression, I think I know. Right?”
Yoo Harin suppressed her emotions as much as possible and glared at Kim Man-ho with a ferocious expression.
“Don’t make that face. I came here specifically to protect you.”
Kim Man-ho reached out and stroked Yoo Harin’s head.
“The world will become hell in the future, but shouldn’t I, who is strong, protect Yu Harin?”
“under···. I am real.”
With a sigh, Yu Ha-rin closed her eyes and looked up at her long hair.
“Hey, won’t you clean up these dirty hands?”
Harin Yu, frowning, suddenly changed her mood.
“Ah, I’m really trying to live without cursing at my younger brother’s education, but when I see bullies like you, my stomach hurts and I can’t stop cursing.”
When Yu Ha-rin took a step closer, Kim Man-ho stepped back in embarrassment.
“I said it so you could understand it, but seeing that you can’t understand what I’m saying, it looks like you got f*cked in your ears.
When Yu Harin finished speaking and tried to enter the house, Kim Man-soo grabbed Yu Harin by the hair.
“and···. Don’t you know that PK was activated to see this crazy b*tch? What that means is that I can just kill a b*tch like you.”
“Leave this! Let go, you crazy bastard!”
The moment Yoo Ha-rin, who was caught by her hair, was about to call the contracted spirit, her eyes met Seo Kang-joon, who was rushing towards her.
“Anyway, fair-faced b*tches like you always get beat up.”
Kim Man-ho swung his hand to hit Yoo Ha-rin on the cheek, but was blocked by a rough and large hand.
***
“What are you?”
As I grabbed my wrist, the annoyed man glared at me and said,
“Brother!”
A frightened little boy opened the door and ran out, clinging to my leg.
“Stop it.”
The man tried to shake off my hand with his hand, but he couldn’t.
“Don’t let go of this hand!”
The man’s voice rose.
Instantly, the man’s pupils narrowed. It was a very subtle change, but I could tell.
‘It’s a vampire.’
＜Hypnosis＞
*Manho Kim LV 2
[Job]: Vampire (Advanced)
[Classification: Villain
[Skill]: Vampirism
[Racial Skill]: Monster Commander (Normal)
[Abilities]:
– Strength 4, Agility 2.2, Stamina 3
There are two ways to become a villain in MA.
The former is how to reject the job selection in the tutorial and purchase a villain job through the Merchant of the Apocalypse.
The latter is to capture the quest that occurs when you kill 10 or more people.
Guys with a lot of coins take the former. Those without coins choose the latter.
Seeing that he came out with a monster commander, it seems that he chose the villain through the former.
Monster Commander is a skill that can command monsters, so it is very dangerous during monster waves.
‘It must be killed.’
Fortunately, there was not much to see about skills and abilities yet. After confirming the information, the man’s hand was released.
“You bastard! Let’s see”
The man said something a third-rate villain would do and turned around.
“thank you. Mr. Kang Joon.”
“no. Come on in.”
While looking at Yoo Harin, the little boy held my hand.
“Brother, didn’t you eat? Eat together. yes?”
“Please. Mr. Kang Joon.”
My gaze turned to the vampire who was moving away little by little. I think it’s better to get rid of him than to eat right now.
“Thank you for inviting me, but I think I need to go right away because I have some business to do.”
“Then I can’t help it.”
Ilena tried to get out of the car as she hurriedly chased after the man, leaving Harin Yu and the little boy behind.
“There it is.”
“Yes, Master.”
It’s too noticeable to take Ilena with you, and if you decide it’s necessary, you can summon it.
‘Did I miss it?’
Quickly chase after the man. I went to the convenience store, but I couldn’t see it.
As I was about to turn around to look elsewhere, I could see a man buying cigarettes at a convenience store. I decided to hide nearby for a while and watch.
He went into the alley next to the convenience store, smoked a cigarette, and called somewhere.
“Gather the children in front of 36x-32 Hanshindae-gil, Osan at 3:00 am today.”
The man brushed off his cigarette ash once and continued.
“The goal is two men and one woman.”
After all, vampires can’t just pass by.
“I can’t go because my brother ordered something, so you guys work together.”
There’s no way a villain could call an ordinary person his brother…
“Ah, kill the men as brutally as possible and don’t touch the women, put them in storage.”
“baby? Kill this bastard! Why don’t you know how to speak? Isn’t the child a boy?”
Judging from how casually he ordered the murder, it seems that a gang has been formed. If you look at it already made, it looks like it was decided in advance.
The man hung up the phone and walked out of the alleyway and entered a deserted rice field along the Hwanggujicheon Stream. I followed the man at an appropriate distance.
“I wonder if this is enough.”
The man stopped walking.
As expected, it seems that he knew from the beginning that I was following him and deliberately came down a deserted road.
“I guess you knew.”
“Why did you follow me?”
“Because I am a vampire.”
“Oh, so you’re saying that you knew I was a vampire and followed you?”
The boy laughed as if it were ridiculous.
“Let’s ask one more question, aren’t the guys who gave the order a moment ago also villains?”
“There are a lot of things I want to know about someone who will die soon.”
He exhaled smoke and nodded.
“Then will you stop dying?”
Long fangs protruded from the mouth of the guy who had lost his head, and three zombies that had been hiding came out.
no way···. Are those zombies the basis for your confidence?
