-------------------------------------------------
It seemed like some people didn't have any skills at all, so I decided that anything was better than nothing. Being able to see traits that others couldn't, and getting rewards for killing monsters unlike others, might actually have more potential in the long run.
'Honestly, it feels like I'm forcing myself to be optimistic, but so what? I can't change my skill anyway.'
I stopped thinking about skills and went back to browsing the new posts on the community forum. What was important now wasn't my skill, but the movements of the military and police.
If monsters that could beat even a scrawny guy like me to death appeared, unlike in movies where society was helplessly destroyed, the military and police might be able to handle the situation.
Besides, the movie wasn't even set in Korea. Maybe the movie just didn't show it, but Korea might have succeeded in early suppression.
However, despite watching the community forum all day, there wasn't a single post about the military or police moving.

【Military: "Internal Stabilization First, Please Wait in a Safe Place"】
It took less than two days for zombies to appear all over Korea. Due to Korea's geographical features with many rivers, zombies were appearing inland by traveling along the rivers.
I had been desperately waiting for the military and police to move, but there was no news even the day after the outbreak. It wasn't until the second day that they finally said they were busy putting out the fires and didn't have the capacity to save anyone right now, so please wait.
"Fucking bastards."
I knew that an unforeseen disaster was inevitable, but I couldn't help but swear at their attitude of ignoring the people who were dying while they were busy trying to stabilize things.
For reference, everyone decided to call the monsters zombies. They didn't have the infectiousness that was the identity of zombies, which was a bit disappointing, but it seemed like they decided to call them that because they blindly ran towards people, didn't have the pain or fear that living things should have, and tried to bite people indiscriminately with their powerful bite force.
Maybe they were using the image that you should never get bitten by a zombie to make people aware of their bite force.

Since the institutions where Korea's military power was concentrated weren't moving, the community forum was naturally filled with posts from people looking for their families or expressing their resentment.

【Zombie Research Log ver1.03 (9)】
【1. Zombie's Vision
It is presumed that the zombie's viewing distance is longer than that of humans. Zombies always see faster than I do in the fog.
In places with a clear view, you can be ganged up on by zombies coming from outside your field of vision, so it is best to move to a place where you can hide as much as possible.
Zombie's Physique
It varies, but it seems to be roughly around the average adult female ~ average adult male level. If you're someone who's worked out a bit, you won't be physically overpowered.
Their weaknesses are similar to humans. They die if their head is broken or their neck is cut. They die even if their heart is pierced, but these guys' hearts are in the middle of their chest.
Zombies don't seem to feel pain, so instead of trying to kill them in one shot, I recommend targeting their arms and legs first with a long-reach blunt weapon. Their bite force is enough to chew through bones, so if you try to kill them in one shot and fail, you could get bitten and die instantly.
Zombie's Hearing
They don't seem to react to small noises, so their hearing isn't very sensitive.
However, they seem to react more sensitively to the sounds that zombies make, even if they are small. Maybe the zombie's hissing groan contains frequencies outside the audible range. I don't have the equipment to verify.
It doesn't seem like zombies can communicate with each other.
ps. This log is information analyzed through 'D-7' and my experience. It may be wrong, so don't blindly believe it. I'm not responsible if you go out believing it and die.
I will update it immediately if I find out more new information or need to make corrections.】
└What's this guy? Does he think reality is a game?
└lol fr
└Honestly, with skills and all, isn't reality and the game pretty much the same?
└If you think of it as a virtual reality game, it's super exciting right now
└There's a real crazy bastard here
└It's kind of a good tip
└How did you find this out so quickly? Isn't this just a guess?
└If it's not, he'll have to die lol He said he's not responsible lol
└Poster, live a long life. Looking forward to the sequel
In the meantime, there were some crazy people who posted ridiculous tips. There were also people who seemed to have lost acquaintances in vain by being tricked by them.
Of course, there were also helpful posts like the zombie research log written by 'Work and Dictionary', but I couldn't trust that either. He warned himself, and as the comments said, if you go out believing it and it's not true, you have to die, so I couldn't believe it easily.
After browsing the community for a while, I got up from my seat and looked through the shelves. I usually don't go out much, so I tend to stock up on retort foods, but unfortunately, they were almost all gone. If I ate two meals a day, it would last two days, and even if I survived by eating one meal a day, it would be difficult to last more than four days.
'If the research log is correct, it's worth going to the convenience store.'
The convenience store was less than 100m away in terms of distance. I had to go through an alley, so it would actually take about twice as long, but even that wasn't a very long distance. If I was lucky, I could go without encountering a single zombie.
'If I have to go anyway, let's go now.'
Even a scrawny guy like me could be trampled to death, so if you were confident in fighting, you would go to rob the convenience store to get food. It was a small convenience store, so it could be emptied out if only three or four people went. If I wanted to go to another convenience store, I would have to go several times farther, so if I was going to go, it was better to go as quickly as possible.
Unlike the original zombies in the mass media, I didn't need to worry about infection with real zombies, so I didn't bother putting on extra clothes. I was afraid of getting bitten, but in the face of the zombie's bite force that could break bones, wearing one or two more layers of clothes wouldn't make much of a difference.
I emptied the caddy bag that Jin-ho hyung had bought to entertain a VIP and left at my officetel, and went outside with only one golf club.
As soon as I encountered the dense fog, the tension rose sharply. Just a few steps from the one-way street in front of the officetel into the alleyway made my heart pound like it was about to explode.
'I'm so scared.'
Someone's faint scream coming from beyond the fog and the deflated footsteps coming from over the wall also contributed to the tension. It was too obvious who the owner of the relaxed footsteps was.
I walked slowly, being careful not to make any noise. Several corpses, so badly torn that I couldn't recognize their shapes, were seen in various places in the alley. The more I saw, the more my awareness of zombies increased.
Fortunately, I was able to move while avoiding zombies until I passed a few corners and saw the convenience store. I waited until I couldn't hear the zombie's footsteps before quickly running to the convenience store across the street.
"Gasp! Haa!"
"You fucking bitch, it's so tight."
But I stopped before trying to open the convenience store door. A completely unexpected sound was coming from inside the convenience store.
'Are these guys crazy? Are they fucking in the convenience store in this situation?'
They weren't even going inside the storage room, they were doing it behind the counter where it was clearly visible from the outside. The man's hips heaving next to the counter and the woman's struggles with her pants hanging on her thighs were clearly visible.
'Only one of them is crazy.'
Unless the woman was struggling because she liked it so much, it seemed like she was being forced by the man, judging from the situation.
I didn't really intend to save the woman, but I couldn't just wait outside the door until it was over, so I slowly pushed the door open. But the door was locked and wouldn't budge.
"Hiss?"
I was wondering if I should knock. From one side of the one-way street passing in front of the convenience store, I heard a sound like air escaping.
I couldn't see it because it was obscured by the fog, but I knew without looking. I had been caught by a zombie.
I had never thought so quickly in my life.
And immediately, I slammed the convenience store door with all my might with the golf club in my hand.
