Chapter 108 - Survival from Zombies in Beomgye Station (3) (2/2)

“Thank you so much for saving us. We have survived because of your help.”

Minsok bowed to express his gratitude.

“Are those zombies coming out of Beomgye Station?” Sungwoo asked.

Minsok nodded and said, “Yes. It started three days ago. I just don’t know where they keep coming from. We can’t hold on our own any longer.”

“Then, why are you still staying here?”

Minsok replied, frowning, “Because of the damn quest.”

Quests always limited the player’s action anytime, anywhere. Sungwoo had moved through his ‘exclusive quest’ until now.

“What kind of quest is it?”

“It’s a local quest, and everyone in this area has received this quest.”

He turned his head out the window.

“If we go out of the building, we will be chased by the hordes of zombies. That’s why we can’t go outside. I was thinking of quickly escaping from this area, but half of our survivors are children and seniors. They are going to be killed if we move out of here recklessly.”

The survival group itself was weak, so they had no power to respond to the quest.

“I dare to tell you two, but if you don’t want to get caught by this quest, leave this area before midnight tonight. Otherwise, you will also be bound by this quest.”

Minsok knew that Sungwoo and Jisu had tremendous power to help him, but he gave altruistic advice in case they would be put in danger.

Of course, it’s also likely that Minsok was not honest. So, Sungwoo remained tight-lipped. Looking at his lips, Minsok’s eyes began to tremble.

In no time Sungwoo said, “We’re not leaving. We’ve come here to attack them.”

“Pardon?”

“We’re here to attack and occupy Beomgye Station.”

Minsok’s eyes trembled faster. There was relief and joy on his expression.

Suddenly, a savior appeared.

“Oh, thank you so much. Finally, we have hope we can save our families. Thank you very much.”

The necromancer, the most famous player, was here to save them.

***

Late at night, Sungwoo and Jisu were treated to a decent dinner and took a break. It had been a really long day.

It was a three-story shopping building, with about thirty survivors living on each floor. Like Minsok said there were many young children and old people.

He said his troops were not small like this originally. A lot of young people had been sacrificed so far.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door of the office and entered. She was Minsok’s wife.

“Can I assign you to one room?”

She asked carefully, but Sungwoo and Jisu shook their heads at the same time.

“No.”

“If I have rooms available, can we use two?”

Minsuk’s wife said that she would check it out and reply later, then she left.

Right after that, the door opened again.

“By the way…”

A little boy who seemed to be about eight years old raised his head. He seemed to be Minsok’s son.

“Can I come in?”

“Sure.”

When Jisu allowed him to come in, three kids came in at the same time.

“Wow! He’s really the Necromancer!”

“Red devil sister! Cool!”

They behaved as if they were meeting the main characters of a cartoon. Sungwoo didn’t like dealing with kids, but he didn’t make them leave coldly.

Meanwhile, he wondered if this was the positive function of the broadcast that Junghoon mentioned. He couldn’t deny that he was a source of courage to somebody.

In a world that has turned into hell, there was little possibility that somebody could support the people, and those who showed that possibility were called heroes.

“Can you show me a skeleton?” asked a kid.

“Skeleton?”

“Yeah! I saw a skeleton in the air. So cool!”

Of course, the skeleton looked great when seen in the video, but if these kids actually saw the skeleton before their eyes, it was obvious that they wouldn’t sleep for days.

Therefore, Sungwoo only summoned the smallest skeleton among them, Orun.

“Wow! Skeleton!”

“Cute!”

Sungwoo wondered how such a terrible thing could look cute, but the kids began to surround Orun and chatter away.

Thanks to the kids’ diversion, Sungwoo and Jisoo could take a break, though Orun had quite a hard time because of the pestering kids.

If Hanho had seen it, he would have felt jealous without doubt.
