Anyway, the situation is already too far gone to resolve quietly.
Hwang Jun-young and Park Dong-hyeok, who were waiting in the building opposite for the assassination, also hurriedly joined them.
“According to what I checked from the rooftop earlier, Moon Se-geol is on the 26th floor. And the gang members are staying in the lower floor and the lower floor.”
Park Dong-hyuk reported among the crowd of people leaving the hotel in a panic.
“Are you sure?”
“I have six eyes, so you’re not sure?”
Since he made such a bold statement, Daesung decided to believe me.
He looked down at the “Gun of Gaebyeok” in his hand.
‘The remaining number of bullets is eighteen.’
Of course, the number of zombies will be much more than eighteen and bullets will be scarce.
But it didn’t matter. As much as you need, you can just buy it again from the store.
Of course, since it was a ‘silver bullet’ sold in a limited quantity of 100 rounds, it was necessary to use it as sparingly as possible.
At this time, Hwang Jun-young asked.
“How… shouldn’t we rush in slowly? “There are also people trapped inside who were unable to evacuate.”
“uh. “I have to do it.”
Until the conversation progressed like that, the three of them, including Hwang Jun-young, naturally thought they would take the stairs or the elevator.
phut-!
“huh?”
That is, until Daesung suddenly takes a leap.
Shhh!
His new model, which jumped like a spring, quickly reached the 26th floor window.
A moment where 1 second seems to stretch like 10 seconds.
Daesung’s eyes, which were hovering in the air, quickly scanned the interior of the room beyond the glass window.
Room 2607.
There are three zombies inside.
Daesung raised the 《Gaebyeok Gun》 to eye level and aimed at the zombies beyond the glass window.
bang-! bang-! bang-!
Three silver bullets flew through the hole in the window and passed straight through the zombies’ heads.
And the moment when the world’s time, which flows like slow motion, returns to its original state and Daesung’s body begins to fall downward.
Ting-!
Suddenly, the soles of his feet lightly stepped on the empty air and he jumped 3 meters high.
‘It’s not bad to use instead of flying. ‘It doesn’t last very long, though.’
The first leap was purely Daesung’s physical ability.
The second < Leap > borrows the power of authority.
< Power Information >
Jump
[Summons a transparent platform with elasticity under the user’s feet while floating in the air.] [
While the body is already in the air, step on the air and jump a few more times.]
[Jump up to five times. You can climb.]
Thanks to this, he was able to jump again to the height of the 26th floor window, quickly stretched out his arms and placed his hands on the railing.
It wasn’t difficult to get into the room.
He glanced indifferently at the zombie that had fallen over a puddle of black blood.
Since the door was open, it appears that the security guard waiting in the hallway turned into a zombie and stormed into room 2607.
-Hwareuk.
[Would you like to obtain the ‘Dimension Race Life Stone (x2)’? Yes / No]
As soon as his eyes were fixed on the life stone floating on the dead zombie’s body, the system notification window blocked his vision.
As he read the words, he frowned as if something was strange.
“Two?”
There were clearly three zombies.
just as expected.
“Shut it off….”
Perhaps because it had been hit by a stray bullet, the zombie lying on the floor was writhing and making a dying sound.
No, it wasn’t a miss.
The silver bullet was clearly lodged in his temple just like the other guys.
“Does each object have different durability?”
It was a headache because the strategy of saving bullets by killing one animal with each shot was meaningless.
Daesung aimed the gun at the guy’s head once more. Unlike the other guys in suits, he was naked, so this guy must be Moon Se-geol.
bang-!
[Would you like to obtain the ‘Dimension Race Life Stone (x3)’? Yes / No]
Only then did the right message come to mind. I felt bad about wasting a silver bullet.
[Current collection rate: 6.6%]
The collection rate increased by exactly 4% from 2.6% to 6.6%. However, the number of zombies killed was three.
in other words.
“It’s heavy heating.”
This meant that each entity had different durability and a different share of the lifestone dropped when it died.
Squeak-.
Daesung left room 2607 and entered the carpeted hallway, frowning at the strong smell of blood.
“Kkeakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…?”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…?”
The five zombies in the hallway screamed as they tore the limbs of regular guests apart.
The face that was torn to shreds was clearly that of a man in his 20s.
Unable to die comfortably, he met his end with his eyes open.
“You guys are having fun.”
For a monster without reason, the way it kills its prey is of very poor quality.
I didn’t particularly feel sympathy for the dead man.
However, as I was just looking at it, I felt physiological disgust and discomfort, so it didn’t feel good at all.
“Let’s play like that too.”
The power to do the same thing those guys did came to mind.
Daesung sang < The Book >.
“Keeeeek…!”
“Aaaahhh…!”
Zombies that found new prey came running, letting out a strange roar that felt like their vocal cords were being twisted.
Ta-ta-ta-tang-!
A rapid fire of silver bullets hit the zombies’ legs.
Zombies with entire chunks of flesh on their knees ripped out rolled around on the floor like dolls with their strings cut off.
“I’m reading a book, so don’t disturb me.”
Holding < The Book > with a specific page open in one hand, Daesung blew out the smoke from the muzzle of the gun.
Finally, 30 seconds passed.
-Hwareuk.
A welcome system message appeared before his eyes.
[Power: < Explosion > has been acquired.]
< Power Information >
Explosion
[Summons a scarlet sphere in which dozens of blades and spearheads have been condensed.]
[Up to five scarlet spheres can be summoned.]
None other than Honseui. It was the power of Karina, one of the three pillars.
Although he was quite exhausted at the time, he had the strength to almost push Daesung to the brink of death.
Now that I have the opportunity to use that power myself, I feel new, should I say that it feels new?
Pong-.
A scarlet sphere floated like a water drop on Daesung’s palm.
The spheres, which were the size of water droplets, began to gather and swell like bowling balls.
“If this hits, it hurts quite a bit. “I understood because I experienced it.”
Swish.
Daesung threw the scarlet sphere with an easy movement, as if throwing a ball.
The sphere floated exactly above the zombies who had fallen on the ground.
He stretched out his hand toward the scarlet sphere that blended in with the incandescent light.
“But do you guys feel pain too?”
“Keeeeek…!”
And the moment the zombies crawling on the floor let out a scream as if they sensed something.
Hold.
Daesung squeezed his open hand.
Pabababak-!!
As the scarlet sphere exploded, countless spear blades rained down like sleet.
endlessly.
Even the smallest piece of flesh is pulverized so that the zombies can no longer be revived.
“Squeak at the talent…!!”
The zombies struggled as they were crushed by the heavy rain that continued to fall. I let out a desperate scream.
Only after they became like meat in a butcher shop did Daeseong stop the power of < Explosion >.
“I guess you feel pain.”
The body was so horribly damaged that only traces of it could be found.
However, the red lifestone rose like a star from above their corpses.
“Acquisition.”
Daesung collected them all, but did not check the collection rate one by one.
It was frustrating to check every time I killed something like this.
‘Why do I have to go find them in person because they look so pretty?’
It wasn’t reasonable.
Since I was coming back after resting, my body was still sore.
‘They should come to me.’
thud-!
The moment Daesung put his foot down on the carpet like he was stepping on an ant.
[The power < Provocation > is activated.]
[Focuses the attention of enemies recognized by the user within a radius of 500m.]
Keekeeee…!
Caw…!
The hotel, which had been filled with deathly silence, began to be filled with the screams of monsters.
***
Lili, a ten-year-old girl, saw death for the first time in her life.
“Kwiik…!”
“Geoeook….”
Inside the closet in room 2601.
Lily was curled up there, holding her breath.
I could see people with rotten skin wandering around through the cracks of the tightly closed closet door.
And between them.
The bodies of my mother and father, who had died horribly, were strewn about like trash on the street.
“….”
The last thing Lili remembers is monsters suddenly storming into the room.
And it was the back of her father, desperately fighting against the monsters by throwing his body, and the face of her mother, pushing her into the closet with a terrified face.
After then.
Lili watched from beginning to end.
How his parents resisted and how they met their end in the end.
“….”
The tears did not flow. There was no scream.
It felt like everything was a dream, my sense of reality was fading, and all I could see was a blank, unfocused eye.
“Hiccup.”
at that time.
Lily’s shoulders shook.
Jeopuk-.
“Geoeoeook….”
The guys who were wandering around the room at random did not miss that sound.
Between the gaps in the closet.
Lili saw zombies gradually walking towards her.
I felt like all blood was draining from my body, and the fuse of my consciousness was blown.
And when I came to my senses again.
The monster’s black eyelids were filling the crevices of the closet.
-thud.
“Geoeoeook…?”
At that time, without realizing it, I heard a loud noise outside the room.
The zombies that were trying to open the closet turned their heads and soon began to leave in the direction from which the sound came.
“….”
Lili, who was frozen, felt relief, but could not move.
It was then.
Sigh-! Kwasik-!
Keekeeek…!
Ouch…!
Burbubbubbuk-!
Loud and loud noises rang out one after another, incomparable to anything I had heard before.
Of course, you cannot know exactly what is happening because you are not seeing it with your own eyes.
But this much was certain.
That’s the scream of a monster.
and.
That there is a bigger, more terrifying monster out there that drives even those monsters into the abyss of fear.
***
Ding-.
Arriving on the 26th floor, the elevator doors opened wide to the left and right, revealing a long, straight hallway.
“Oh Mr.”
“Uh-huh….”
“Oh my God….”
Hwang Jun-young and his group were shocked when the elevator door opened and they appeared.
It was truly devastating.
The hotel hallway, which was once pure white, was pitch black as if it had been covered in ink with the black bodily fluids of zombies.
In addition, unidentifiable chunks of flesh were dripping from the smooth walls and ceiling of the hallway, which turned out to be the corpses of zombies.
And at the center of it all.
Daesung, covered in black blood, stood with an indifferent face.
“You look like a human from hell. “The method is damn right.”
“….”
Park Dong-hyuk laughed as if he was tired, and Hwang Jun-young kept his mouth shut, probably because he was overwhelmed.
And Shin Cho-young.
‘There’s someone else on this floor besides us.’
I was surprised by Daesung’s appearance for a moment, but then I looked around at the sight of someone I sensed inadvertently.
She walked in the direction of the sign.
Cheolpuk-.
“Ugh…”
As soon as I stepped on the scattered flesh on the floor, the unpleasant sound that rang out pained my ears.
She passed by Daesung with an arrogant frown and soon entered room 2601 as if being led.
The first thing that greeted me was the sight of a middle-aged man and woman who appeared to be a married couple, covered in blood and dead.
“Ugly things…”
Shin Cho-young briefly wished them peace in peace and then opened the closet door where she felt the strongest presence.
There.
A girl was squatting, hugging her knees with her arms.
“Ah…”
Shin Cho-young.
I was speechless.
A middle-aged man and woman who died later.
And the girl hiding in the closet.
Unless you’re an idiot, you wouldn’t know what this means.
‘Oh my god, this child…’
But Shin Cho-young couldn’t help but be more shocked by the girl’s expression than by this tragic situation.
The girl was so expressionless.
I was literally mesmerized.
“….”
Shin Cho-young knows that expression.
It was inevitable because he had made the same facial expression in the past.
people.
When you feel sadness and despair beyond the acceptable limit, you don’t cry.
From then on, people become empty shells without their souls.
How can a shell shed tears?
-Hold on.
Shin Cho-young unconsciously bit her lip until it bled.
She herself made that kind of expression when she held a funeral without the bodies of her parents who died after being trampled by a monster.
“Hey…!”
Shin Cho-young impulsively held the girl in his arms.
Then he quietly rubbed her back and spoke in a cracked voice.
“You were very scared, weren’t you?”
“….”
“There’s no need for that anymore.”
Of course, the Chinese girl couldn’t understand Shin Cho-young’s Korean.
But that one hand that rubs your back.
What kind of catalyst did it become in the empty girl’s heart?
“Huh huh…!”
Only then did tears begin to flow from the eyes of the girl Lili.
Shin Cho-young asked, slightly raising her upper body to prevent her from seeing the bodies of her parents lying in the room.
“What’s your name… ah.”
She belatedly realized that this was China.
Meanwhile, Hwang Jun-young, who was quietly watching the scene, asked in Chinese on her behalf.
“What is your name. Hey.”
“Li Lili….”
“Li Li. That’s a pretty name. We are good people. do not worry.”
“Who are you buying…?”
“…He’s a bit of an odd-looking person.”
While Hwang Joon-young is conversing with Li Li in fluent Chinese.
Daesung was diligently collecting life stones that were floating everywhere.
-Hwareuk.
[Current collection rate: 52.9%]
Compared to earlier, which was 6.6%, it was a significant amount of progress, but still far from reaching 100%.
‘Even though I got this far, it’s only half of it.’
Still, it was a time when Daesung was wondering whether he should think positively about the fact that he had collected half of his money in one day.
Suddenly, the conversation between Hwang Jun-young and Lili reached his ears.
“Do you have somewhere to go?”
“Black! “I was originally going to stay where my grandfather works, but something urgent came up at my grandfather’s work, so I decided to sleep here just for today.”
“You said he was at work…? Um, can you tell me who your grandfather is?”
“My grandfather-.”
Of course, Daesung also cannot understand Chinese.
but.
The name that came out of Lili’s mouth right now transcended the barriers of language and nationality and was clearly pierced in his ears.
“My grandfather’s name is Jang Jeong-yeong (張正英).”
It was the name of the head of the Chinese Hunters Association.
