Stagnant Water of Apocalypse
chapter-58

The night of the apocalyptic world was terrifying. It was complete darkness. No moonlight nor stars could be seen adorning the sky. No light nor white noise enveloped the city. Only the fire that the goblins made and the growl of zombies could be seen or heard. Even if someone could brace the darkness to hunt zombies and goblins in the night, bone creepers or keepers will pop out from out of nowhere, sending shivers down their spine. Therefore, it was common sense to refrain from going out at night unless you have a strong heart and good ability.

Of course, there are people who are not afraid of the night for various reasons and still dared to go out. For example, a guy like me, who wanted to attack Kwon’s bunker.

In the dark garden next to the parking lot, I hid myself. As a result of checking in advance with Yoohyeon’s paper airplane, I know that Kwon’s bunker was located in the clubhouse of the golf course across from my location. The two people who guard the entrance yawned over and over again, it was clear as day that they were bored. It seems like even after they get brainwashed, the basic function of their mind still functions.

“One other bunker is in the academy.” And the location of the other one was still unknown to me. The distance between the bunkers was quite far, so they wouldn’t have to worry about being attacked by zombies because too many people lived around the same area. However, thanks to that fact, my work would become easier.

“There were 12 people in total in this group.” However, since one hideout could only accommodate up to 5 people for safety reasons, aside from the sentry, there should be 3 more people inside, including Kwon.

“Are you indulging yourself with two girls inside? What a good life, really.” But, tonight, your good life will come to an end. I checked the plan once again. It wouldn’t be difficult for me to neutralize his subordinates. It was because I knew everything about them, while they didn’t know anything about me. If support comes from another bunker, I just have to block the entrance with the portal and get out when the situation dies down.

However, rather than Kwon and his subordinates, the more problematic one was the bunker itself. It was made of concrete which was near indestructible to my current level. The door of the bunker was made with reinforced plastic. Which means, it wouldn’t melt easily even if I forced it to open using fire. Toxic gas could work against it, though. But since it was a double door, the inside would be fine.

“This bastard was thoroughly prepared.” I mumbled as I saw various obstacles installed in the area near the door. It wasn’t far-fetched to call this bunker an impregnable fortress.

“But still, it doesn’t mean that there’s no way to break through.” I smirked. After all, if a frontal attack wouldn’t work, I just have to let them bleed to death.

I opened the slot and chewed a handful of shadow grapes.「Active buff: Night vision increase」

In the next moment, all the obstacles and the two guards were clearly visible to my eyes. The effect is really no joke.

I carefully crawled to the guards. What I’m going to use here is a crossbow with paralyzing poison coated around its bolts. Because the bolts are quite thin, even if it hit them in their thighs, they wouldn’t fall instantly.

“Slot #1.”

A crossbow loaded with bolts appeared in front of me. And I quickly took it with my left hand. After getting close enough to the guards, I squeezed the crossbow’s trigger. With a muffled groan sound, the guy grabbed his thigh and collapsed.

“Huh?” While the other guard was puzzled about what’s happening, I called slot 2 and shot another bolt at him. Since I had applied a lot of paralyzing poison to the bolt, they would be unable to move for about 30 minutes.

I dragged the two fallen guards and hid them in the bushes before going to check the door. With only one glance, I could see that the door was strong. However, it still wouldn’t be strong enough to stop the attack of the scarabs—who can literally chew metals.

“Open the portal.” When I put my hand in, the four scarabs which had been waiting, climbed up to the palm of my hand.

Come on, don’t be shy, isn’t this your first time in reality?

“Can you make a hole in it? This much should be fine.” I said quietly as I drew a hole on the wall only large enough to put a flame can in. The scarab leader nodded his head as soon as he saw it. While the scarabs went to do their job and gnawed at the reinforced plastic, I loaded the bolts into the two crossbows. These two were the last bolts that were coated in paralysing poison.

After waiting a while, a hole bigger than I wanted was drilled on the door. Inside it was a dark wooden door. It looks quite strong, but it still won’t be strong enough to withstand the power of flame can.

“Good job. Now rest.” I said as I sent the scarabs away to the portal. Then, I lit the wick of the flame can and threw it inside. Smokes billowed from the hole the scarabs had dug instantly. I opened the portal again and hid in the portal. After waiting for a while, I saw the door slammed open and someone throwing something through the smoke.

“They are throwing fire extinguisher packs, huh?”

The container of the extinguished fluid shatters when it meets the flame. Then, the inside gushed out, trying to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, the fire caused by the ignition stone was sticky, and it couldn’t be extinguished easily. So, only after several fire extinguishers were thrown did the fire finally subsided.

Through the black smoke, someone wearing a firefighter suit could be seen standing. From the glance, it was not Kwon. Without hesitation, I fired a bolt at her.

“Ouch!” With a high-pitched scream, the figure collapsed. Then, I went inside.

Now, there should be only Kwon and one other woman.

I threw two pepper bombs at the place where the two people might have been hiding. Instantly, a strong cough erupted from the corner.

“Cough! Cough!” From the high pitch, it seems like it was the other woman.

Moments later, I could hear a voice coming from that side. “You are that bastard from before!”

His voice sounds muffled. I think he’s wearing a gas mask. I walked out from the portal and answered. “Yes. That’s right.”

“You bastard! Did you come here to die?”

“Should we see who dies between us?”

When I answered relaxedly, Kwon’s voice raised up. “If I manage to catch you, I’ll cut all your limbs and then throw you to the zombies! You picked the wrong opponent, you bastard! You motherfucking limp dick fucker!”

In an instant, something snapped in my mind.

Kwon Kwon will never forget what the bastard in front of him had done to him. He still vividly remembers being paralyzed senselessly in the PC café by the bastard before the apocalypse hits. On that day, he even took away his smartphone and gun.

What about when the apocalypse comes?

He lost many of his men on the hand of the bastard and was forced to flee from the time shelter. However, as if all of the humiliation he suffered wasn’t enough, the same bastard came again, this time, to his bunker. It seems like he was hell-bent to ruin whatever he had built.

His anger flared up. He really wanted to kill the bastard in front of him.

“You motherfucking limp dick fucker!!”

As soon as finished his words, Kwon realized that something had gone wrong. It was because Seongho’s clenched fist was already right in front of his face.

“Keuk!” Kwon flew to the wall because of the punch. When did he move? Kwon wondered. He couldn’t even see his movements. With this development, his plan of shooting at him then running away from the bunker had gone awry.

“You… You… Just who are you…”

However, instead of answering, Seongho’s heavy fists come down to his stomach.

“Ackkkk!” Pain spread all over his body. He knew that his back was broken. Kwon struggled to move to his knees with his mouth wide open. He had hit him so hard to the point that blood-soaked saliva dripped down through the gaps in his gas mask.

Seongho took off his gas mask and kicked his body with a football kick. Thanks to that, his body bounced away several times on the floor before stopping.

“St-stop it. Please stop…”

“You know, there is one thing I promised to myself. It was to kill you when the apocalypse comes.”

“If you kill me…” Kwon sneered towards Seongho. However, Seongho’s gaze stays constant, there’s no change whatsoever in his eyes even after hearing Kwon’s words.

“What if I kill you? I will turn into a murderer? Do you think I didn’t know that?” Kwon’s pupil shook at his words. “If I disguise it as a suicide, the system will be fooled. You probably don’t know that because you are nothing but a self-proclaimed stagnant water.”

“WHAT!?!?” Kwon’s eyes widened. Numerous thoughts ran inside his head. The most prevalent one was the identity of the man in front of him.

‘Don’t tell me, this guy’s true identity is…’

On the other side, Seongho shook his head. Dizziness swept over him as his body became sluggish.

“Tsk, the effect is great, but the side effects are great too.” He mumbled. Then before long, Seongho kicked Kwon’s again before opening one of the slots, took something out of it, placed it on Kwon’s hand, then tied his hand to the thing with a rope.

When Kwon realized the thing Seongho tied to his hand was fireworks, his eyes widened. More and more cold sweat dripped all over his body as his heart beat furiously. He was aware of what the guy in front of him was going to make him do.

“No, no! Please! Please!!”

“What a hassle…” However, Seongho didn’t even pay any attention to his plea. He just walked around before returning while carrying the two women in his arms simultaneously.

“Open portal.” Hearing those words, Kwon realized. Even though he couldn’t see anything on the air, the bastard in front of him had been moving while using some sort of portal to hide.

“Keuakkkkkkkkkk!” Kwon let out a beast-like howl as he struggled to free his arms from the rope.

“You’re noisy bastard.” But moments later, Seongho had already poured gasoline all over him. After that, Seongho lit the fireworks fixed in Kwon’s hands.

Knowing that his life would end as soon as the wick was burned out, Kwon mustered all of his remaining strength to release himself from the binding. But to no avail. When he realized he wouldn’t be able to free himself, he began to beg.

“Please… Spare me… Please… I won’t do it again! I’ll give you my life… so please…!”

“Be sure to not do it again in your next life, okay?”

Tata Tak Tak!

“Ahhhhh!” At the crackling sounds, Kwon raised the firecrackers as high as he could, however it would only delay his death to a mere seconds. Finally, the fireworks went off. The sparks dropped into the gasoline and ignited the gasoline.

Kwon couldn’t even scream anymore and only floundered like fish out of water. On the other hand, Seongho looked straight at Kwon’s death scene. He had evaded the system’s judgment even though he just committed a murder through this method. He burned the scene in front of him to his memory. He knew that this wouldn’t be the last time he killed someone. After all, it was his way to pay back anyone who tried to harm him tenfold, without mercy.

Seongho left the burning body of Kwon behind and swept over the bunker. He threw every supply he could find into the portal.

“I’m tired.” He sighed as he finished his looting.

Suddenly, people from the other bunkers came in.

“What? How are you here?”

“Who are you? Isn’t this place our team leader’s golf course?”

Everyone didn’t know about what was happening, so they asked Seongho. But no answer came out as suddenly, Seongho’s body disappeared into the darkness.

Lee Yoon-jeong, who guides Rabbit Pwincess, Hwang Seokhyun, was fed up of hearing various things about him. He was a stagnant water who played Survival Life for more than 5000 hours. In other words, a madman. So, her superior told her to not provoke or insult him in any way throughout the journey.

Naturally, her first impression of Seokhyun was quite intense. After all, in today’s world, it’s not common for a survivor to walk around with only panties and a robe. However, after spending several days with him, Yoon-Jeong realized that he’s not a complete madman who didn’t care about anything. On the contrary, he was kind enough to ask her if she was tired or in need of anything.

‘In today’s world, this is normal enough.’ That was her final judgement on him. She thought that his messy appearance was probably due to the loss he felt after being separated from his friend. Yoon-Jeong imagined that after he reunites with his friend, he would show a slightly tidy appearance.

Yoon-jeong guided him with such expectations. But when they arrived in Sejong, all of her expectations went awry.

“Rabbit Princess! I wanted to meet you.” Among the ruins of buildings, a big man flanked by 2 other big men called out towards Rapwi. All of those guys were dressed almost like Seokhyun.

Yoon-jeong looked at them and frowned while Seokhyun shouted in response.

“Why do you want to meet me?”

“Because I heard a lot about you in the game.”

“Tell me your ID. I don’t know who you are.”

Then the guy replied “It’s Strawberry Princess.”

It was at that moment Yoon-jeong realized that there is no normal princess in that cursed game.

Seokhyun tilted his head, said “Ah”, and then hit his palm. “Aren’t your first ID Fairy Of Love?”

“Yes! That’s right!”

Hearing that conversation, Yoon-jeong tried her best not to burst out laughing. No matter how she looked at it, the man who called himself Strawberry Princess didn’t fit into words like love or fairy. It’s just absurd.

However, she could still feel that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. But she felt reassured rather than worried that she would offend someone as she could see that the two other men who flanked Strawberry Princess had the same expression as her. But contrary to the three of them—who tried not to laugh—the two princesses were surprisingly serious.

“So, why are you calling out to me?”

“Let’s join forces. If we do so, the twin princesses can rule Sejong!”

“Why should we rule?”

“Why should we rule, you say? Do you have no desires? Isn’t it what everyone wants in the apocalypse? To enjoy power and use everything freely?”

“All I want is to meet my friends.”

“By friends, are you talking about Duck Butt, Gimbap, and Survivor?”

“Yes.” Though he only wanted to meet the two other than Survivor 1. But he knew it’s better not to told him that,

“What are you going to do when you meet them?”

“We will play together, of course.”

Strawberry Princess furrowed her brows at Seokhyun’s words.

“Disappointing, truly. I thought you were really crazy, but It seems like you are only pretending to be crazy.”

“Me?”

“Is that all you want to do in the apocalypse? It’s disappointing.”

Seokhyun’s expression hardened in an instant.

“Why is it disappointing?”

“You need strength to survive the apocalypse! You know that only the really crazy can have power, right? Open your eyes, Rabbit Princess! Let’s go crazy!”

Yoon-jeong’s expression turned into worry at the man’s words. No matter how she looks at it, the man in front of her wished to become a tyrant in the apocalypse.

Seokhyun was silent for a few moments. Then suddenly, he started taking off his cloak.

“What are you doing now…” Yoon-jeong asked him. The other three didn’t even care when he took off his cloak. But when he started to take off his backpack and boots too, their eyes changed instantly.

‘Don’t tell me…’ Yoon-jeong said in her mind.

Seokhyun’s hand touched the hole in his panties. Then, when the panty was pulled down, Yoon-jeong witnessed his hairy and plump ass. Seokhyun had just returned to his original form in front of the four of them.

“Three.”

“What?”

“Two.”“Wha… what are you murmuring about?”

“One.”

“Wait… That’s why…”

However, before Strawberry Princess could finish his words, Seokhyun was already running towards him. At the sight, he was terrified out of his wits. How couldn’t he? A naked man was running at him!

“Wait!! Come on, wait!”

He started running away, and so did his men.

“Do not come! Don’t come!”

However, Seokhyun still rushed towards them.

“SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!”

While he was running, something flapped violently between his crotch.
