Chapter 12: Crossroads.

“D*mn it, what the hell is going on outside?”

Gunshots, explosions, and screams kept coming one after another.

The completely different atmosphere from usual in this hellish place was making them more and more anxious.

“Sister, are we going to die now?..”

“No, So-jeong…”

Yu-jeong and So-jeong were already overwhelmed with fear and were crying while holding each other in a corner,

Even Rebecca, who was the most rational, was just chewing on her fingernails in frustration at the reality that she couldn’t do anything.

“The only force that could touch this place in this area is… No, that doesn’t make sense.”

Even the occasional gunshots had stopped now.

The only sound that could be heard by putting their ears against the cold concrete wall was the terrible howling of those things,

Perhaps everyone in this base except themselves was dead.

“If I had known this would happen, I would have stolen the key in advance…”

‘Bang!’

Suddenly, something crashed hard into the door, which was the only exit and passageway of this underground prison, and the sound echoed.

“Heek!.. Si. Sister…”

“What is this?!…”

In a situation that the women inside the prison room could not have anticipated, the sound of metal clashing against metal continued without stopping.

‘Clang!’

“Something that can be used as a weapon…”

The two sisters, overwhelmed with fear by the unknown presence beyond the door, were horrified and retreated to the corner of the room,

Rebecca picked up the plastic chair, which was the only item she could grab in the empty room, and headed towards the door.

‘Clang! Clatter!…’

Eventually, the lock broke and the door, which seemed like it would never open, slowly began to open.

While facing each other tensely, one figure entered the room.

‘Thud…’

“Yo.. You are…”

A familiar face, a face that she thought might be the last she would ever see, made Rebecca drop the chair she was holding.

Originally, I was planning to find the key and go in.

“Ggrrr….”

“Ugh….”

The problem is that the zombies that came from outside and the zombified personnel inside the camp are mixed up, so who has the key.

The sledgehammer that was used to forcibly open the locked armory door is rolling not far away.

“Ugh…”

The average stat value per ability of a common zombie is 10, and my STR is now 14.

I may only look like a weak girl,

But inside, I have strength stats comparable to a typical adult male.

There was no need to go the hard way in the first place.

I just have to break everything that blocks me!

‘Sniff…’

I forcibly put the 4 zombies following me into any empty room nearby (ignoring their pleas to be let out) and arrived in front of the underground prison room, and I heard a familiar sobbing sound.

‘Clang!’

Just wait a little bit, I’ll get you out soon.

‘Clatter!.. Squeak!…’

Inside the prison room that I forcibly broke into, Yu-jeong and So-jeong were huddled together in the corner, covered in tears,

Rebecca, holding a plastic chair and wearing a determined expression, is welcoming me.

“Yo.. You are…”

A few seconds of silence flowed as they stared at each other in bewilderment.

‘Swish!’

In order to break the awkward silence, I threw the useless sledgehammer roughly anywhere on the floor.

“How did you get here?”

‘Nod nod’

I turned my body behind the bewildered Rebecca and gestured for her to follow me.

There are no longer any people in this camp who will suppress their freedom, but

This place is still dangerous for zombies who still only recognize living creatures other than me.

“Th…Thank you for saving us.”

As I started walking out of the prison room without any regrets, Rebecca, Yu-jeong, and So-jeong immediately stuck to my back and started walking

“But what the hell…”

‘Shh’

Yu-jeong was about to continue talking about the sudden and incomprehensible situation,

I stopped walking, turned my head, put my finger to my lips, and gestured to be quiet.

“Ggrrr….”

A lost zombie was wandering and walking far away in the passage.

I don’t care, but if the three of them sticking to my back attract the attention of the zombies, a direct course ticket to the afterlife is confirmed.

It seems that Yu-jeong, who is timid and looks weak, will only be hindered by weapons,

I’ll pass on So-jeong, who seems younger than me,

Rebecca, who had worked in this base camp before and is calm, seems to be able to do her part.

‘Chuck’

One of the 4 zombies that followed me earlier had been carrying it on his shoulder,

I handed Rebecca the M16 rifle that I now have.

“Anything that won’t make noise?”

When I handed over the large sword that I had brought with me, Rebecca attached the bayonet to the end of the gun as if she was familiar with it and returned to her position.

It’s a bit of a shame, but I have to be satisfied with seeing that it has found a suitable owner since it was a somewhat cumbersome weapon for me to use anyway.

Even though my strength has increased enough to control the recoil of the gun,

My body is still that of a girl who is less than 150 tall, so it’s a bit difficult to hold an M16 or K-2 rifle that is nearly 1m long.

Of course, I don’t expect her to be able to fight properly with the bayonet attached.

Rather, I’m much more familiar with and have more advantages with the K1A submachine gun that I was assigned to use because I was assigned to a special position when I was a man in my memory.

‘Click’

I handed Rebecca a few extra magazines after she separated the magazine and checked the remaining bullets, and pulled out my machete and approached the zombie.

“Grrr.”

‘Thwack!’

He was an innocent zombie who didn’t react to me, but let’s send him to the afterlife in peace because the situation is what it is.

‘Nod’

I looked around a bit more, and after confirming that there were no more zombies, I sent a signal to follow me and continued to walk ahead.

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that I attracted aggro to check the skills before coming to rescue them, most of the zombies were gathered on the opposite side of the building, so I was able to arrive at the parking lot without much difficulty.

‘Swish swish’

“That’s a relief, there’s a lot of fuel and this car seems to be able to run well.”

“You know how to drive, right?”

“I had an international license, and Yu-jeong taught me how to drive in a makeshift way.”

“Where are you going now?”

“This place is ruined, so I’m going to the orphanage first, at least it has a freer atmosphere than here.”

“Good luck”

“Wait? Weren’t you going with us?”

Me? I’m just acting like a person by putting on makeup appropriately,

I don’t intend to take the risk and rejoin people since I don’t know when I’ll be found out to be a zombie.

“Do you have a place to go? Just come with us…”

“Let’s go together, I’m sure you’ll like it too.”

‘Shake shake’

I’ve already made up my mind.

I have a next destination that came to mind after listening to them.

“Well, if that’s what you want… Can I at least ask your name?”

Hmm? My name?… I haven’t really thought of a name since I’ve been living alone as a zombie…

My name is…
