Stagnant Water of Apocalypse - Chapter 160

Piiiing-!!

A low beeping sound was heard. The three men who were anxiously waiting for the news in a bunker next to the art museum reacted.

“He’s caught.”

“Isn’t this too easy? How can someone like I Love Gimbap go into a bunker without suspecting anything…”

“Even though he suspects it, as long as he entered, he will not be able to avoid brainwashing.”

“Well, let’s believe that.”

The three men nodded at the same time. They all shared the same thought that no matter how strong people’s stats or unique skill ability is, brainwashing was not something they could avoid. As long as they put their hand on them, their target would instantly turn into a puppet.

The three continued to smoke cigarettes and waited for a call. “If all goes well, we will be able to negotiate with the Government Shelter.”

“We will become enemies of the rest of the Stagnant Waters.”

At his colleague’s words, Yoon Donghoon’s laughed.

“Aren’t they the same as us? Human beings made of skin? They wouldn’t survive when they get shot.”

“I heard from the Auction House that people with physical strengthening ability can hold up a bit against bullets.”

“Well, that’s just if it’s Body Strengthening skill.”

The survivors of the Hannam-dong bunker had one thing in common: They didn’t know the situation of the current world. They all agreed to start their activities on the day the Corrosive Disease disappeared, and holed up in their bunker before that. They believed that guns would solve everything. That was not entirely wrong either. But they also didn’t know just how strong the survivors on the outside had become. In particular, most of them underestimated the abilities of the Stagnant Waters. They thought that it was impossible for humans to be that strong.

Kim Seung-guk put a cigarette in his mouth and pulled his pistol slide. The live ammunition was loaded with a clicking sound. He turned his gun to the target and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

With that sound, the fragments of the target bounced, and the target was dug.

“I don’t believe the Stagnant Waters can avoid this.”

“Pistol bullets have considerably weaker power. If they can withstand that, we just have to use heavy weapons.”

“Wouldn’t they be surprised by the power of the grenade and claymore? HAHAHAHAH”

The three laughed and proceeded to talk about negotiating with Government Shelters.

Then Jin Yu-seong said, “But why is Director Lee taking so long? Did she drag him inside and have a good time?”

“HAHAHAHA.”

“Well… She might have fallen for I Love Gimbap because he’s a good rice cake.”

“Then, if we go to the bunker right now, will we see the two of them working hard? haha.”

“…”

Could it really be the case? The three remembered Director Lee. She was a strong woman who brainwashed drug addict Kim Ho-je to use him. So far, she treated all the men she’d brainwashed as nothing but disposable tools. But if it’s I Love Gimbap… if it’s a man who’s that strong, she probably would feel wasteful to use him like that.

Yoon Dong-hoon looked at his watch impatiently.

“It’s been 10 minutes since they entered the bunker. I need to hear some news.”

“Should we wait or…”

“Let’s go. It might be a good sight to see.”

At Jin Yu-seong’s suggestion, everyone stood up. When they went outside, it was quite noisy due to the dungeon.

Tatatang!

Gunshots exploded not too far away from them, and people’s screams could also be heard. The three and Director Lee worked hard to brainwash I Love Gimbap, the other three factions just try to monopolize the dungeon.

“Those people were in a hurry, too.”

“The survivors were also stubborn. After all, the Auction House said that looting a dungeon will be very rewarding.”

“I heard that the Farming Dungeon is really great.”

The three of them arrived at Lee Hyejin’s bunker after talking about various things. The guard opened the door after checking the three’s identity.

“Where is Director Lee?”

“She hasn’t come out yet.”

“Woah. Looks like she really fell for I Love Gimbap.”

“Maybe he’s a handsome man?”

The three waited for quite a while outside the bunker. But as time passed, Lee Hyunjin still did not come out. The impatient Kim Seung-guk grabbed the bunker’s security door and pulled it open.

Shouldn’t this door be automatically locked?

When he looked inside, Kim Ho-Je was there. He was holding a doll while wearing pajamas.

“Uh-huh…” The man sighed. He understood the situation now. The drug addict had left the door unlocked.

“Director Lee is going to have a big trouble with that bastard someday.”

“I really hate seeing him.”

Even in the apocalypse, someone must not let go of our spirit. Of course, it was Lee Hyunjin and them who made him a drug addict. But they were still disgusted by the sight of him.

The three went inside, checked their pistols, and stood in front of the sealing room. Jin Yu-seong brought his ear to the door and gave a strange smile.

“It’s loud… The moaning, I mean.”

“Hey, let’s hear it together!”

The three of them listened to the groans of Director Lee.

Isn’t her voice a little different from her usual husky voice, is it because of the mood?

It’s natural for people to change when having sex. Anyway, listening to someone having sex was quite stimulating. Jin Yu-seong recalled his subordinates who had been dispatched to the bunker here.

“That guy must be watching them inside.”

“How envious… I want to taste Director Lee too.”

“Even though Director Lee looks a little stiff on the outside, I bet she’s insane under those clothes.”

“Hehehe.”

While they were spitting bullshit like that, someone walked out near the sealing door. He was wearing white panties and a rabbit headband. The three, who were not of high level, were surprised to find him late.

Just where did this guy come from?

“Hii.” As Seokhyun waved his hand, the three immediately pointed the pistol in their hands at him.

“Who are you?”

“Wait a minute… Looking at that rabbit headband, is he perhaps Rabbit Pwincess?”

“If you don’t move… you’re going to be a honeycomb.”

“Honeycomb?” Seokhyun tilted his head and slowly approached the three of them.

“Do-don’t come!” The three men clenched their teeth and stuck to the wall. If a man wearing only panties approaches them, anyone would naturally react like them.

But Seokhyun didn’t care and approached them anyway.

“You can shoot.”

“Crazy bastard… Do you think you’ll be safe after being shot?”

“That guy has Immortality Unique skill. He’ll be resurrected even if he dies. but… We have a lot of bullets. We will be able to just kill him again next time.”

Even though he said that, there was still fear on the faces of the three of them. After all, it was their first time meeting a madman like him. In their eyes, the man in front of them was a league crazier than Kim Ho-je. Normally, they would have pulled the trigger, but they were hesitating.

Seokhyun noticed their inner feelings and stood up. The three were given the luxury of looking at his groin.

“Accept the darkness within you…”

“This fucking bastard.”

Yoon Dong-hoon clenched his teeth and pulled the trigger.

Bang-!!

Starting with him, the other two also threw flash grenades and opened fire. An intense mass of light stabbed the bunker mercilessly, followed by a roar of guns. The three wore sunglasses and earplugs, so they were safe from flash bombs.

However, Rapwi was directly exposed to flash bombs. He was even hit with a pistol bullet, so there was no way he was going to be okay. Everyone thought so.

“What, what?” Kim Ho-je, who was shivering badly, came out surprised, and Kim Seung-guk kicked him with his foot.

“Stay inside, you drug addict.”

“No, I want to play too…”

“Noisy!”

Bang!

Kim Ho-je crawled into the room, startled by the bullets stuck between his groin. The three waited for the smoke to subside.

“Isn’t he supposed to be dead?”

“I’m sure our shots hit him, so he must have died.”

However, when the smoke cleared, their expectations all crumbled. Seokhyun was still standing on top of his hands. The only difference was that he now showed his back side, not his front side. The flattened bullet in his hips and waist were pushed out little by little and then fell to the ground.

The three of them looked at it and opened their mouths.

“Crazy…”

“Does that make sense?”

In fact, even though he was Seokhyun, he would still not feel good after being shot. However, recently he had acquired the skill of Shield Sniffles. It was a compound skill just like what Da-jeong had. The difference is, his skill had elements of physical resistance, hard skin, and even meat shield. So, his current defense power was no joke.

Seokhyun straightened his posture and looked straight at the three of them.

“It hurt a little.”

Bang-!! Bang-!! Bang-!!

More gunshots rang out in succession. Seokhyun swung his hand, then opened his palm. He pretended to catch the flying bullets, but didn’t actually catch any.

Even as Seokhyun grinned, bullets poured out of his skin. The three of them looked at it and searched for a new magazine in a hurry.

“Didn’t I say it hurts!?!?”

“Heuk!”

At Seokhyun’s charge, the three froze without even thinking of using their abilities. Seongho’s judgment that survivors who have lived like plants in a greenhouse did not use their abilities well was correct.

“Mmm, stop!”

Someone miraculously demonstrated his ability and stopped Seokhyun. However, as soon as Seokhyun put pressure on his buttocks, his abilities were released.

The farts came out, and the three of them could neither laugh nor cry, and had to take his fist.

Puppupuck!

One-sided beatings followed.

“I am going to punch you as much as you shoot. It will be as many bullets you spend!”

Of course, Seokhyun didn’t really count the amount of bullets shot at him. He’s just going to do it his way. Which is, until he’s satisfied.

“AHHHH!!!”

The three let out a tearful scream, and the door to the sealing room opened. Lee Hye-jin and one other man were lying on the ground, body tied with ropes. Seongho and Da-jeong tied the three men who had become unconscious with ropes and covered their eyes.

“These guys really should have shut their mouths.”

The three men had to lean on each other and enjoy the cold bunker floor.

Da-jeong put her arm on Seongho’s shoulder. “Rather than letting them imagine it, why don’t you just do her?”

“The two of you are here. Am I that crazy? Oh, stop that guy!”

Da-jeong called the ghoul and blocked the door where Kim Ho-je was heading to. Now, all that was left for them was to loot. Seongho and Da-jeong raised the concrete cover while Seokhyun was tickling and harassing the five.

The two went down to the floor together and scanned the surroundings with the flash.

“…” Seongho smiled. The place was awesome. And when he opened the crates stored inside, Seongho could not hide his joy anymore.

“There are quite a lot of heavy weapons here. There are also a lot of flasbangs.”

In particular, the number of ammunition stored was staggering. It was made in Russia, so it was not compatible with Seongho’s gun, but there were a lot of guns here too, so using them wouldn’t be a problem.

“There’s a generator, there’s a drone… and even a refrigerator.”

Were they planning on having a good life after Corrosive Disease disappeared?

Da-jeong looked at the Auction House as if she was not interested, and then called Seongho in surprise.

“Hey husband!”

“What?”

“Yoohyeon said we should leave right now. There are a lot of monsters in the Hannam-dong area right now.”

“…was the dungeon a catastrophic dungeon?”

“What is that?”

“It’s a type of dungeon that if it’s not cleared after a certain period of time, monsters will pop out of the dungeon.”

“It’s my first time hearing such things.”

“We didn’t care about them back in the game.”

The background story of Survival Life was a mystery itself. Most of them were unknown to users. Only people like Seongho, who were digging into the background story, knew about it.

He hurriedly entered the Auction House and contacted Yoohyeon.

-Yoohyun-ah, are there any monsters you are seeing for the first time?-Yes! It’s a monster that looks like a bear, but at the same time looks like an owl too. Right now, people around the museum are running away. It’s a mess out there.

The dungeon even had something like Owlbear, huh? They appear only when erosion occurs and an ecosystem is formed. The fact that the guy who was supposed to come out in April or May is appearing now means the catastrophe dungeon had overflowed.

Seongho quickly opened the portal and urged Da-jeong.

“I’ll give you the box, so go inside and organize it.”

The two diligently grabbed the wooden box until it was empty. As they climbed up, Seokhyun was putting poop on the men’s head.

“Seokhyun-ah, let’s go catch OwlBear.”

“What about these guys?”

“Just kill them.”

Lee Hyejin, who recognized Seongho’s voice, trembled. Tears streamed from her eyes which were blinded by the blind.

“Forgive me! Forgive me! Please spare me just this once! I will do everything you ask me to do!”

However, the faces of the three Stagnant Waters were cold. In particular, Seongho’s face was the worst. After all, he had been through a lot of this kind of situation.

“Sorry but…”

“I don’t think you are sorry, though.”

Before Da-jeong could finish speaking, a scream was heard outside, and someone knocked on the security door.

Who is it? When Seokhyun opened the door, an orc was standing there holding a corpse of a man.

Kiek?

As the guy looked inside and exposed his teeth, Seokhyun smiled at him.

“SEEGGGSS.”

KUOOOOO-!!

The orc was quickly beaten and dragged inside. Seongho opened the portal and let Da-jeong and Seokhyun enter and leave the bunker.

Then the orc got up shaking his head. Five immobile humans were twisting their bodies beside him.

When the orcs turned towards the people, Lee Hyejin’s blind was removed. She screamed in tears as she saw the hideous monster in front of her eyes.

“Ahhhhh!”

Chomp-!!

As the excited orc bit her in the head, blood slowly dripped onto the floor of the bunker.
