Hiding the House in the Apocalypse

15. adopt

It’s not just because it’s dangerous that I avoid combat.

Post-processing sucks.

One of the dummy air-raid shelters has been destroyed and disposing of the bodies is a chore.

To bury them one by one, there are too many of them and there are no suitable places to bury them.

In the end, the body was driven into a half-collapsed air-raid shelter and set on fire.

One of the intruders came to the front of the main air-raid shelter and was half-burnt and had to be pulled out.

While moving it, bodily fluids mixed with ooze dripped and soiled the floor.

It’s not a good thing to just clean up the body.

The tents they pitched must also be removed and the traces themselves erased.

All of this is work and labor.

I didn’t shed a single drop of sweat during the battle, but when I was cleaning up, I sweated to the point of exhaustion.

There was no loot.

The invader’s belongings were too low.

In particular, the food side was hard to believe even after seeing it with my own eyes.

The food they brought was dog food.

To be precise, it was a product made by grinding dog food and mixing unidentified meat and hardening it like a nutrition bar.

The moment I saw it, I felt impatience.

measures are needed

The guys who appeared this time are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

*

Under the base of the U.S. military base, there are air-raid shelters that were almost undamaged even after nuclear strikes.

The underground facility allowed me to loot first, and then the scavengers robbed it all and left nothing, but if I converted it into a residence, it might be better than my air-raid shelter.

No matter how much, I never thought that I would live in a place where nuclear weapons fell.

However, someone like Choi Joong-ryeong appeared.

When one appears, there is another.

We have to look at the US military base.

The second lieutenant colonel Choi can prevent an unfortunate event by taking measures to prevent him from even thinking about building a nest.

But what should I do?

Should I set fire to it?

Or should we mobilize heavy equipment sleeping in the shelter to block the entrance?

It’s hard and there’s nothing to touch.

A more intense and intuitive method is needed.

For example, something like a monster lives there.

Mutations like gold swarms are fine too.

But how should I put them?

He’s a guy who can’t communicate and wants to kill people when he sees them.

I even thought about moving the sniper mother and daughter, but I gave up because I thought I wouldn’t go.

Feeling stuffy, I put plenty of sugar in my coffee and connected to the oasis of my heart.

Click on the Popular Posts tab.

Let’s see.

Before work, I posted a picture of a dog food bar in my spare time.

I thought it might go viral with some comments in a short time.

However, it is not on the popular list.

I can only get one like.

however.

“no? What, this dog…”

I almost got cursed at.

Keystone: This is the food that kids in Seoul eat these days hahahaha

The photo Keystone uploaded was none other than the photo of the dog food bar I uploaded.

They stole my picture and ate the popular post!

SKELTON: (Skelton doubts) I took this?

I have complained but no answer.

Have you ever seen such a careless guy?

I complained on the bulletin board, but no one listened.

The human hunter, the only Internet friend, was also absent that day.

While chewing on my anger and scanning the rest of the popular articles with my eyes, there is a title that catches my eye.

Kyle_Dos: What is this?

I clicked because I felt depressed.

A picture appeared.

Maybe it’s the mountain area behind the air-raid shelter.

It looks like a non-characteristic photo of creepy growing grass and trees, but even within it, something bizarre and distinctly distinct was showing off a creepy presence.

It is a pale cylinder with a dull gray-white surface.

Kyle_Dos : When I woke up, it suddenly appeared. Does anyone know this?

Each answer was different, but no one answered correctly.

You won’t know.

That is something that can only be observed in a country facing destruction.

The name of that pale cylinder is a capsule.

It is a monster egg.

*

Monsters collapse from the moment they enter the earth, but there are exceptions.

The first exception is those classified as infiltrative.

The invasive type is a species that survives independently without disintegrating in the global environment, mainly as a small species.

One of them is the necromancer type who turned Chairman Je Poong-ho into a zombie.

However, in exchange for being immune to collapse, its combat power is weak. The word weak here is relative.

The second exception is environmental change, not individual species.

When the energy of the other world flowing from the rift crosses the critical point, the surrounding area is distorted in a form similar to the world beyond the rift.

This is called erosion.

On that eroded land, monsters can survive regardless of their size or strength.

I have seen eroded land in China.

There is no other way to describe the vicious distortion of the world as we know it, other than the end.

It is the first type that appears in Kyle Dawes’s photographs.

That’s an infiltrator’s egg.

You shouldn’t look at it funny because it’s an egg.

The moment the capsule is opened, a monster with 100% combat power appears and tears the unlucky people around.

It is said that there is no such thing as a cute baby monster.

Researchers have suffered a lot without knowing this fact.

No matter how strong the barrier or restraint was, it was useless.

After hundreds of researchers and dozens of research facilities were destroyed, the World Alliance banned research on the capsule.

From my point of view, capsules are death traps designed by monsters.

Taking advantage of the human habit of researching, exploring, and analyzing.

The capsule appeared in Korea.

This is terrible news.

The appearance of the capsule is undeniable evidence that the area around it has already been eroded.

I sent a DM to Kyle Doss.

SKELTON: That’s a capsule. monsters come out. monster eggs.

Soon, a reply came from Kyle Doss.

A message from Kyle_Dos: Do you speak well?

SKELTON: (Skelton service) That’s very dangerous. i’ll remove it

A message from Kyle_Dos: Can we just drop that weird headline?

SKELTON: OK

Message from Kyle_Dos: But what are you going to do with it? Are you talking about coming? I know you’ve been active on the bulletin board for a long time, but what do you believe? It might not be the skeleton I knew, right? What would you do if you were a looter?

SKELTON: Put it on the bulletin board.

Unlike Keystone, Kyle Doss was a quick-witted friend.

He has a keen eye and instinctively knows what is dangerous.

Message from Kyle_Dos: No, I think you better not post it. I’m not here to advertise. just come and clean it up what are you going to ride?

It’s a prize that will survive for a long time.

deserve to survive

Nevertheless, Kyledos’ fate is bleak.

“Pajura…”

His air-raid shelter was near Paju.

It is said that it is in the rift zone.

There is a trade-off.

In the rift zone, the elite hunters and military units always set up an absolute line of defense called the kill zone and protect the area.

It is said that although it is in the most dangerous place called the door where monsters come and go, you can receive the safest security service.

However, when the shelter area is completely eroded, there are only two options left.

Either die in an air-raid shelter, or become refugees.

After a while, I pulled out the pickup truck.

It is a 1 ton electric truck.

The navigation system turns on and displays the optimal route, but the information of the old era has no meaning in this era.

“Personal identification number SKELTON. Has confirmed. Want to bypass Seoul? Follow Route 13, then Route 22, then Route 8, please.”

Government-controlled roads are the only way I should go.

Especially when riding a valuable vehicle.

Kyledos’ air raid shelter was located not far from the road, and the road leading to the air raid shelter was also connected to an unpaved road suitable for vehicles.

Kyledos looked up halfway to check me out, holding the gun behind a tree.

“It’s a skeleton.”

First, I revealed my identity.

Kyle Doss hesitated.

introduced again.

“Skelton appears.”

Only then did Kyle Doss appear.

He was a slumbering-eyed man in his early thirties, neatly dressed and well-nourished.

What impresses me the most is the smile.

It’s not a sneer or a fake laugh.

It is a genuine smile full of joy and anticipation.

It’s like looking at a specimen of a well-prepared and well-endowed doomsday.

It is different from the refugees who are yellow, dirty, and half-broken in body and mind.

“Skelton is younger than I thought? I even came out fine. I’m surprised unexpected.”

“Unexpected?”

“I thought you were in your 50s just by looking at your posts.”

I tossed a couple of cans of spam I had brought as a gift to him.

“Well, something like this. Actually, isn’t this what I should give you?”

“Where are the capsules? Let’s sort it out quickly. Even roads controlled by the government are dangerous when the sun goes down.”

“and. Is it completely different from what you imagined? Why are you so sharp?”

“When did you not break?”

We are seeing each other for the first time.

We’ve never had a conversation, and we’ve never had a drink.

But why?

the story goes

Like a friend you’ve known for a long time.

Is this the spirit of community?

It’s a heart warming thing.

“No, you were honestly a weird guy on the bulletin board, right?”

Why is my reputation like this?

“Oh, there it is. that.”

Kyledos pointed to the forest.

Under the midsummer forest, about half of which had been cut down, a grayish-white bizarre object reaching 1 meter tall was showing off a strange presence that was completely different from life in this world.

“You mean these are monster eggs?”

Kyledos trembled lightly.

“Oh, f*ck. It felt like that. The color is similar to that of the monsters that escaped the kill zone, and the feeling of getting sick just by looking at them is like that.”

Kyledos turned to me.

“Isn’t this dangerous? A monster egg?”

There are two ways to open the capsule.

One is when the monster inside wants to come out, and the other is when a strong stimulus is applied from the outside.

The manual handed out at school recommends the following method for capsules.

-Attack the capsule from a distance using a special type of ammunition that does not work with the reflected force field to make the monster come out, and then deal with it according to the manual according to the type that appeared.

This is the capsule response used in the field.

In short, it means to shoot a monster from a distance to get it out of its egg and kill it.

that’s all they know

I know one more thing.

“Go back for a second.”

I approached the capsule with two axes.

“If I die, get in my truck and run away. Because the key is stuck.”

“what?! You die?!”

I didn’t come with the intention of dying, but nothing is 100% in this world.

However, not taking risks when you have to move is linked to 100% death that will come later.

I know very well.

How indecisive colleagues in China died, were crippled and went mad.

“It begins.”

Two axes slashed through the capsule’s gray matter surface.

Just before the ax touches the surface.

“Suck!”

I stopped the ax blade with all my might.

It’s a camouflage attack.

I only pretended to hit.

In human society, it might fall under the category of pranks, but monsters are not humans.

therefore react

Swoop-

I am watching.

The black ax blade that appeared tearing open the space in front of my neck.

It is a reflex field.

The anti-force field is a monster’s power that distorts and twists the dimensions of attacks directed at it and returns them to the opponent.

There is a limit to the physical amount that can be received by distortion, but humans do not have the defense power to receive the counterattack caused by the distortion.

It’s one of the many reasons why humans can’t beat monsters.

Fortunately, I had adjusted my strength, so my ax didn’t blow my neck.

He sighed in relief and retrieved the axe.

The force field, like the surface of black water, spread out at the point where the ax touched, swayed as if a ripple had occurred, and soon disappeared as if it melted into space.

“It’s safe.”

When the monster does not want to come out of the capsule, a force field is opened.

At that time, an attack that is difficult to block only with the force field comes in to tear the capsule and reveal itself.

I don’t know why.

Less makeup on, or more sleep, or a community of monsters.

Well, you must have your own reasons.

Anyway, using this tendency to check safety is my own way.

If I had to name it, I would call it the Skeleton Capsule Test.

The capsule, which was secured for a moment, was loaded onto the truck with the help of Kyle Doss.

thud!

Secure loot.

“You really have no fear. What if a monster pops out from inside?”

Kyle Doss clicked his tongue as he looked at the capsules in the truck.

“If you’re not lucky, you’ll die.”

“That’s a wise answer.”

“Anyway, I’m in a hurry, so I’m going.”

“okay. Go with caution.”

No words were needed between the two.

Both Kyle Doss and I got what we wanted from each other.

Besides, this isn’t the end.

Why, it’s a face you’ll see in the community in a few hours.

Kyledos waved his hand.

“Is this a secret from each other?”

He nodded.

“Like my next post! Please.”

“Report the content.”

Kyle Doss grinned and gave a thumbs up.

We said goodbye, feeling the strong bond of the community.

Took

The point where the capsule was placed was not the US military base.

It’s too close to our house there.

The place where I put the cute baby monster down was in the middle of the road leading to the US military base and my territory.

The distance is about 5 km.

Just the same distance as the sniper mother and daughter next door.

I don’t know what will come out of it.

A zombie maker like a necromancer type may appear, or an architecture world predator like a spider type may appear.

At least they won’t come my way.

Monsters tend to go to crowded places.

It may not be 100%, but…

Still, this young friend, the performance is certain.

– Chijik! This is the 23rd pioneering team! There’s a strange object ahead!

– Chijik! This is the road control headquarters. As a result of observation with a drone, it was confirmed as a spore of a monster. Turn right now and get away from the spores as quickly as possible. This is a command, not a recommendation. repeat…

As soon as they were adopted, a group of refugees was cut.

“great!”

*

A month has passed since then.

So it’s been 1 year and 11 months since the war started.

In the community, the topic of anxiety and dissatisfaction about the flood of refugees is rising to the top every day.

Among them, Keystone’s writings were also mixed.

Keystone: f*cked f*cked!

Refugees set up camp in the neighborhood in front of Keystone.

Is this a private return?

The whole world is making a fuss, but I am enjoying a leisurely late summer.

refugees?

don’t even look

Even at this moment, the cute baby monster is still sleeping in a round capsule, preventing pests from entering my territory.

But don’t be shy.

An unexpected guy is trying to break my peace.

Personal identification number: Sergent

I got a call from Lee Sang-hoon.

This friend who controls the Republic of Korea, which is currently perishing, is my Salieri.
