NOVEL NEXT chapter 4
4 – Choose a weapon
“What, what is this?”
“What is floating in the sky right now?”
“I can see me too!”
I wasn’t the only one who saw the card.
It seemed that everyone in the seat was seeing the same scene.
‘Do you mean to choose one of these?’
First of all, there are 4 cards in my eyes.
It was a dagger, a bow, a bat, and a gun.
It’s probably like selecting a card and the corresponding weapon appears.
Joy filled the faces of those who understood the situation.
“Wow, great! I have a gun card.”
“me too!”
“With this, even zombies are chewing gum!”
Zombies are strong and menacing monsters.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t knock it down.
No, if you have a weapon, you can kill it easily.
What if that weapon is a gun?
It was also possible for a single person to face a large army.
‘But is it that simple?’
Judging by the atmosphere, most of them seem to have gun cards.
It means that even the people here are platoon units.
Even if dozens of zombies invade, you can defeat them if you respond well.
To be honest, I felt like things were going too easily.
‘This place is inside an apocalypse novel.’
Giving extras good equipment?
That difficulty is too easy.
Very uninteresting and boring development.
If I were a writer, I wouldn’t make that choice.
-bang! bang! bang!
“Cheer up!”
[The zombie raid will start soon.]
[Survivors, prepare for battle.]
People’s faces turned pale at the sound of knocking on the door.
A dull roar that spreads incessantly.
That door, which was eagerly blocking zombies, will soon be broken.
Apart from weapons, fighting zombies gave people fear.
“It’s all because of them!”
Then a woman shouted.
Pointing his finger at us like a hawk.
“That guy brought zombies!”
“You talk nonsense. Is that the sound of a zombie hitting?”
got a little annoyed
It’s someone else’s fault that we’ve reached this point.
“And didn’t you see the message in the air? Whether we come or not, this was scheduled. It is rather us who are in danger.”
Could it be that I couldn’t think of anything to say?
The woman kept her mouth shut.
I just turned my gaze away.
I don’t have time to waste on a fight like this.
[You have 30 seconds to choose your card!]
[Zombie raid starts at the same time as the end!]
You have to decide which item to choose in the remaining time.
The best option for the current situation.
‘I’ll have to check again.’
The worry didn’t last long.
Instead of choosing a card, I opened the skill window.
A situation where life may come and go with this choice.
It’s well worth the skill investment.
[Use the skill, ‘check comments’!]
[50 coins are consumed as a consumption cost.]
[Do you agree?]
“To agree.”
At the same time as he murmured, a message appeared in front of his eyes.
It is the same selection window as before.
[Used skill ‘Check Comments’!]
[Currently, there are 4 comment lists available.]
[Please select one comment you would like to see.]
1. The first comment on the prologue
2. The comment that received the most objections in episode 1
3. The most upvoted comment in episode 2
4. The comment with the most characters in episode 2
‘The comment list has increased by one more.’
The comment I checked earlier has disappeared.
Instead, the comments in episode 2 were added.
After thinking about it for a while, I chose number 3.
4 times was pretty good, but
In the first selection, I received help from comments with a large number of recommendations.
I decided to walk there again.
[You selected comment number 3.]
[The contents of comment No. 3 are as follows.]
[Content: Wow, goosebumps when you say there are no bullets. It’s like the zombie raid begins right away. It seems that he was just trying to kill him.]
[Recommended: 217, Dissented: 2]
‘……There are no bullets?’
[Zombie raid has 5 seconds left!]
[Please complete weapon selection!]
I didn’t even have time to roll my head.
I shouted hastily as I picked out my bat card.
“Everybody don’t pick a gun! There are no bullets inside!”
Was I too late?
Or did he not even care what I said?
-Clap! Clap!
Almost everyone has chosen a gun as their weapon.
But did you hear it even belatedly?
A few people put on a sorry look.
[Zombie raid begins!]
– Kwaaang!
“Cheer up!”
As soon as the door fell apart, zombies poured in.
Although not in huge numbers.
The corpses running without knowing fear are threatening just for that.
“aaa!”
People pointed their guns at me with pale faces.
just pull the trigger
-click! click!
But the gun only makes an empty metallic sound.
The invincibility they envisioned did not happen.
“Mi, crazy! This gun… there are no bullets!”
“aaagh! help me! help me! aaagh!”
……If he had prepared to fight with a different weapon from the beginning, it would have been different.
Even without bullets, guns were excellent blunt weapons.
But is it because the fact that there are no bullets caused panic?
People in fear died without even swinging their guns.
‘I don’t think I have time to worry about other people.’
A zombie lunged at me.
I squeezed the weapon that came into my hand.
＜Item information＞
▶Name: Baseball bat
▶Type: Bat
▶Rating: E
▶Effect: Can use ‘Strike of the Whole Body’.
▶Description: An ordinary aluminum baseball putter with nothing special.
＜Full blow＞
-Consumes 50 mana to inflict strong damage on the next hit.
The baseball bat I picked up in a hurry.
But it’s enough to kill the zombies that run into it.
– Pleasant!
[You have obtained 10 Perish Coins!]
The zombie’s head was blown off by the swinging baseball bat.
The reach is long, and the power is good against corpses.
It was much better than the vague sword.
“It’s amazing, Jihoon-ah…”
“I like weapons. what did you pick?”
“ah. I… this.”
Hyena carefully showed a knife.
I picked something a little odd.
“The sword is coated with poison, so if you stab it, the poison spreads.”
Just like the baseball bat I picked up.
This was no ordinary dagger.
‘It’s an event that fucks the people who really decided and chose a gun.’
I don’t know why.
However, it seems that this world is trying to kill people somehow.
“But why a knife?”
“I was surprised to hear that you had no bullets, so I quickly switched to another one and this arrived in my hand.”
Still, there was one person who listened to me.
Although the dagger was not very useful in this situation.
“It is dangerous because it is too short. Write this for once.”
“Thank you.”
I took out the rifle that was lying under the corpse and handed it to him.
Still, since it’s long, I think it’s better than a dagger.
‘Anyway, will I be able to hold on?’
I swung my baseball bat and knocked out one more zombie.
Looking around, there are already a lot of people.
“Aww! die! die!”
“Go away! You know who I am!”
A few survivors brandished their rifles eagerly.
Apparently, he figured out the situation while the leading people died.
‘I don’t know if this will work somehow.’
The broken door is not very wide.
At most, 1 or 2 zombies came in.
The zombies themselves are threatening, but
If they don’t attack all at once, this side can also respond.
‘The problem is that guy.’
I looked at a zombie standing through the open door.
The guy was also watching me.
[The mid-boss ‘Tentacle Monster’ is wary of you.]
It was clear that he was intelligent.
It’s the same as seeing that he doesn’t step out and makes only weak zombies fight.
‘But why are you wary of me?’
Because I managed to keep running away?
Is that why they perceive me as a threatening prey?
‘Anyway, if I don’t attack, that’s fine with me.’
Thinking so, I knocked down another zombie.
He still had enough stamina.
I was also good at choosing a baseball bat.
But, I heard a voice next to me.
“Hyena! I will protect you! Stay close to me!”
“Yeah? Ah… yes.”
A senior, the captain of the cycling club, was approaching me before I knew it.
In words, it seems that he is trying to fight on behalf of Hye-na.
But in reality, it is slightly backed up.
Even sneakily looking into my eyes.
‘Ah, would you like to bury us?’
Although Hye-na is fighting hard,
It’s close to getting my protection by the side.
A baseball bat is much lighter than a gun.
Of course, with that, I am stronger than anyone else.
So Hye-na’s side is the safest place here.
‘Honestly, it’s a bit absurd.’
On the topic of trying to throw us away faster than anyone else.
Now come and stick to me.
“……”
Hye-na seemed to be thinking the same thing, but she had a confused look on her face.
It wasn’t a situation to pick up on one by one.
It was when he was killing zombies like that.
[The tentacle monster starts moving!]
“Hye-na, step back!”
“uh?”
As I shouted, the tentacle monster released its tentacles.
The flying tentacles pierce people in an instant.
“Cuck!”
“What, what…”
The people who fought hard couldn’t even resist and drooped.
A tentacle flew towards us as well.
“Sheesh!”
I hurriedly swung my baseball bat.
Wow! The tentacle bounced to the side with a roar.
To be honest, I was only half lucky.
“Keah uh uh uh!”
However, it seems that the captain of the cycling club next to us was out of luck.
The tentacles pierced the chest with precision.
“Say, save…”
The captain of the cycling team reached out to us as if asking for help.
But there was nothing we could do.
– Chow!
“aaagh!”
The tentacles dragged people along.
The hole in his stomach widened open and his teeth erupted.
It eats people whole.
– Eww, wow.
My head was literally smashed.
Bones shatter, and blood oozes through the crushed flesh.
The tentacle monster chewed it up and swallowed it whole.
A hand that could not reach it fell to the floor.
“Hee!”
A gruesome sight that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Hyena trembled with a pale face.
‘I guess people ate like that earlier.’
If this happens, nothing has changed since the time I ran away.
No, is the situation worse with more zombies left?
‘…?!’
However, its tentacles did not stop even after eating all the people.
He even picks up a zombie, his own kind, and puts it in his mouth.
“……What is that?”
Soon after, his body began to swell to a strange extent.
Even though I was big from the start.
To the point where I almost feel like I’m touching the ceiling.
[I used the predation of the mid-boss ‘tentacle monster’!]
[Size and stamina greatly increase!]
‘……Did the main character survive by holding this?’
For some reason, I wanted to check the face of the main character of this novel.
