How To Be Misunderstood as a Villain in a Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 9. How to bake an apple pie (complete)

* * * * *

The big work has been completed.

The meeting with the client went well, and I gained enough goodwill. We just need to maintain an ongoing business relationship going forward. Since he is a businessman who likes drinking, I think we will get along well.

There is a small disturbance caused by zombies, but it is not really a big problem.

Zombie birds, dogs, and cats are coming? So what can they do? What can they do other than howl and scratch and peck at the walls with their claws and beaks?

Rather, people are more of a problem.

He was very excited and scared, but he was even holding an automatic pistol in his hand. And a bullet is a magical weapon that can massacre even monkeys if you know how to pull the trigger.

So, after hiding Leti in the women’s bathroom, I headed to the men’s bathroom. I plan to stay here until people evacuate.

Woong.

The mobile phone is ringing. It’s Camilla’s text. I sent three letters.

– Are you doing well? It’s okay here. You don’t have to worry.

– It’s a new alarm. They say a flock of zombie birds is coming. Did you hear the story? Is it safe there?

– … It’s okay, right? Yes?

「It’s okay. It’s not inside the building. Stay in a safe place. I’ll be there soon. Since there are zombies around, I’ll turn it to silent.”

It looks like the situation outside is not easy. Still, you have to do what you have to do. After confirming that everyone had left the store, I slowly looked around inside.

There is no one.

Now is the time to collect. First, I picked up a large black backpack.

The workbook and textbook contained within were placed gently on the chair. If you look at the dense writing, it looks like you studied hard, but if you steal something like this, you will become a broken person.

Table. First, I grabbed cookies and pies. This was kind of delicious, that was kind of not so good… I mixed it appropriately, taking into account Camilla’s preference for fresh cream.

Next is the checkout counter.

I stuffed the rolled up Elsa and Roemer currency into my bag. The Römer currency is a reserve currency, that is, a dollar position, so it is valued well everywhere.

Elsa currency is of a lower quality than that, but it is used for general purposes, at least within the city. You can use it at the Continental Hotel.

Of course, just taking it is theft and a bad thing. So I put a gem on it. They took the bills and put the jewelry, so this is a ‘transaction’.

But wasn’t this what Cassandra said was fake? I don’t know. Anyway, I believe it’s real, so it must be real.

Boom!

Suddenly the door to the women’s bathroom opened. She hid under the counter.

My business partner was walking out, dragging an iron pipe across her floor.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair, blue eyes, and a teardrop dot under her right eye.

She is that woman.

‘It’s prettier than I thought?’

She took off her glasses and makeup and was prettier than I thought. However, the clothes she is wearing are military uniforms. Could it be that she wore other clothes on top of her military uniform?

– Actually, am I a hero?

‘He’s a crazier person than I thought.’

What must someone go through to be able to wear everyday clothes over their military uniform? I don’t understand. We should only meet for business purposes and not become close friends.

A woman dragged an iron pipe across the floor and walked out of the store. A loud shout was heard from outside.

“This is Leticia, an intelligence officer from the 8th National Military Police Special Task Force!”

Somehow, the skill of kicking a person’s leg was unusual. As expected, he was a soldier, a high-ranking officer. Well, I think it would be better not to talk about that woman much to Camilla.

What if, just in case, it wasn’t that person? What if it happened to be someone else in the bathroom?

I opened the door to the women’s bathroom and went in. Clothes that had been taken off were strewn on the floor. There was text written in red lipstick on the mirror.

「Don’t worry about me. I’m looking forward to our next date! :)」

… I shouldn’t be too friendly.

A voice was heard shouting through a loudspeaker from outside.

“Civilians, please evacuate to the top floor! 14 Military police form defensive positions on the top floor and the floor immediately below!

Gather all the troops in the building! Demolish all the skybridges leading to the central area! Unscrew the end screw, throw it out, and close the door! “Move now!”

The stairs open and people shout ‘Order! I heard movement shouting ‘Order!’ Civilians went up the stairs at the command, and soldiers were escorting them.

It doesn’t seem like he’s a drunkard without measures.

The top floor is the area where people feel the safest. Having civilians there is also much easier from a management perspective.

Moreover, if you have a dense defense formation of soldiers on the floor just below, it is easy to block attacks from zombie dogs, cats, or infected people. The only places they can go up are narrow stairs or escalators.

Even if it is breached, the viaduct leading to the safe zone has been removed, eliminating the risk of internal infection and providing motivation to civilians and soldiers, saying, “We must block this place.”

“… “He’s quite capable.”

Now that I think about it, it was called the 8th Military Police Special Mission Team. That silver-haired, violet-eyed woman, too, feels like they are strangely intertwined.

A soldier.

It’s a bit uncomfortable. Of course, it is not the duty of a soldier to continue black trading. However, it is clear that he is a fairly high-ranking official, as he talks about being a ‘staff member’.

I need to maintain a safe distance, not so far away that I get caught, but close enough to benefit.

“It’s the same as apple pie. “If you cook it too much, it will burn, but if you cook it too lightly, it will lose its taste.”

After all, maintaining an appropriate distance is best.

By the way, the fact that all the people downstairs have gone up means that the place down here is empty.

“Where should we start?”

* * * * *

If you have a lot of things you can take with you but your bag is limited, there is a kind of rule. The point is that you should mainly take items that have a high value relative to their area.

Unlike unprotected areas where you have to provide food, clothing, and shelter on your own, this is a city where there is a market and goods that can be exchanged.

That’s why cash and precious metals work well here. I scraped a lot of Elsa currency as well as Römer currency.

It is not theft. Just spend it urgently and pay it back later. Because there are countless safes in human non-reserve areas.

Next, I packed electronic parts and survival supplies. It was quite difficult to find electronic devices that worked properly in the human-free zone.

In particular, I took care of computer-related parts. RAM, CPU, graphics card, tab and smartphone. Charger…

“Oh.”

I was filled with admiration. This is something you really have to pay money to buy. A small solar panel and power bank set.

I took out a bill from my bag, placed it where the item was, and covered it with an object next to it.

The importance of electricity in daily life cannot be overemphasized. But you can’t turn on the generator for everything.

“Gruntcha.”

It’s quite heavy, but the problem is that your hands are tied if you carry it around. I had no choice but to put it in the cart, tear down the Elsa flag hanging on the store wall, and cover it with it.

In addition to the ones I already brought, I also brought one more solar panel. Since I didn’t have enough money, I took some from the counter of the store next door and put it on the shelf.

“Fire starter.”

A tool that allows you to start a fire even when there are no matches or lighters.

“USB charging fan.”

I thought I was going to die from the heat because I didn’t have this.

“USB electric charging lantern.”

I didn’t have this, so I was attacked by Camilla who was playing ghost with a flashlight.

“Multi-tool.”

Most of it is trash, but sometimes it’s better than nothing.

“Lighter.”

The more something there is, the better it is.

“Krrr… !”

I don’t want to buy that.

This is a store on the 3rd floor. A zombie dog came in from outside and glared at me. Her face looked like ice cream that had melted and then frozen again. And in my experience, there isn’t just one dog like that wandering around.

“Kruk! “Kyaaak!”

As expected, one more guy crawled out. It looks like a bulldog, but its mouth is wide open.

I didn’t bring a rifle here, and I don’t have enough bullets. The 1911 pistol has only one spare magazine, and the Eretta 92 I received from Leti has no spare magazines at all.

You must never look back. I took a step back while glaring at the dogs. Since I’m pulling a cart, I don’t have to fall over.

The goal is a chicken pop-up store in the middle. I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to pay here, so I just opened the display case and threw out a chicken.

The guy who was hesitant approached and took a bite of the chicken. After taking a bite, he seemed to like it and ate it eagerly.

The bulldog purred as if he was a little dissatisfied, but when I threw him some seasoned chicken, he happily ate it again.

“Ugh… “

And after that, a human zombie walked out. It looks like it just woke up after being left bitten. I threw some chicken to him too.

But he didn’t eat the chicken. He looked down blankly at the fried chicken that fell to the floor after being hit on his chest, then walked towards me with a frown.

“Sorry. Eat this. “It’s butter garlic.”

“Kyaaak!”

All I can give to a guy who hates chicken is a bullet. I aimed carefully and fired one 1911 shot into the head. The zombie with the back of its head pierced fell backwards.

“Kruk!” “Kung! “Kung!”

It was then. Two zombie dogs put down the chicken they were eating and glared at me. He bares his teeth and closes his eyes,

“Kang!”

Running towards me. Bang! Bang bang! I quickly aimed and shot. The big guy fell down after taking two hits, and the bulldog took one hit.

“… Wait for a sec.”

Didn’t those guys just drop what they were eating and run over? In a non-human protected area, they even ate zombies that were shot dead next to them because they thought they were food?

“I don’t feel good.”

I wonder if this is the difference between human protection areas and non-protection areas. In unprotected areas both humans and zombies are hungry, but in protected areas they may not be. It doesn’t mean I don’t have an appetite, it just means I don’t prioritize it.

Tuk.

This is the full-length glass window on the exterior wall. A zombie crow is staring blankly in this direction. Soon, two, three, six, twelve… It keeps increasing.

Tuk. Tuk. Tuk.

They hit the window. Fighting. Fighting. Fighting. A loud sound like a rain shower hitting. Toad duduk! Toad duduk! Toad duduk! Even other guys joined in. Crackling, the cracks on the glass window become longer. An ominous noise.

It breaks. That thing breaks!

I suddenly pushed the cart and ran to the center. Obstacles on the moving walkway were removed and pushed down. It rattled. It was caught by an anti-slip magnet installed on the cart wheel. When I force it, the cart starts to shake and move.

I ran downward while maintaining inertia. Feeling like my wrists and ankles are being broken. Still, I have to run.

Boom! It looks like the third floor window was broken. Caw! Caw! Caw! The new chicks are pushing into the third floor making a loud noise!

I almost placed my body halfway on top of the cart. Push downwards. Read the signboard on the wall. Underground parking lot. I’ll have to go there first and close the door.

Or go into any car and hide. Isn’t it possible to become a zombie after being bitten by a bird?

Fortunately, I was able to push my way down to the moving walkway on the second basement level without any problems. I pushed the cart all the way and opened the door to the underground parking lot.

The moving walk platform section and the parking lot are separated by a partition, which can temporarily prevent attacks from flocks of birds.

But I don’t think it will last long. Who knew those smart guys would break the window and come in?

“Mr… Are you trying to stop that woman?”

Letty isn’t the only one buying alcohol in Hampton City. But if she’s not that girl, she’ll have to make out with someone else, and that’ll bother her.

I’ll have to call you later to say hello.

I entered the parking lot. There were quite a few cars, but looking at the dusty state, it seemed like they had been abandoned.

In other words, if you find a car that isn’t covered in dust, it will definitely be fine.

‘They said that if a car has a side mirror that is not folded, there is a high probability that the door is open.’

At that time. I heard the sound of a car coming down the parking lot. The words ’14 Military Police Operation Vehicle’ are clearly visible.

4-Seater jeep, resembles the gladiator model. I attached a waterproof cloth to the side of the luggage compartment, but there were a lot of holes in it, probably because the birds were pecking at it so much.

But of course it is the military police. There doesn’t seem to be anything good about meeting him. I hid myself in the space behind the pillar.

Four soldiers got out of the car. It’s not the best weather for a drive, but I wonder if they made some kind of contact.

Lift the awning and open the luggage compartment. He sticks his arm in and pulls out something.

They are people.

He is dead with his entire body tied up with rope and his neck broken. Four bodies. Four soldiers.

The soldiers who took out the body took out something larger and heavier. Two duffel bags. It was so heavy that all four soldiers groaned and pulled it out.

“It’s so heavy.”

One guy pulled back the zipper of the duffel bag. And then he took out a familiar object from inside. This is something I often use too.

C4 bomb. Both duffel bags were filled with C4.
