An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse

Prepare shelter (4)

At 8 p.m., the road to Doksanseong was strangely blocked even though it was usually a quiet road.

‘Maybe it was an accident?’

I turned on the radio.

– Dear viewers. Murders are happening all over the country at the same time. The government is investigating quickly, so please refrain from going out in the evening if possible.

Even if the government moves, nothing will change.

“Crazy bastards.”

The identities of the guys killing people now are Awoken. The reason why they kill people is clear.

If you kill more than a certain number of people, you will awaken as a villain vampire.

It’s probably because they look the same as normal people, don’t get attacked by zombies, and even get items with a certain probability if you kill people.

baang!

While I was deep in thought, a klaxon sounded from behind as if the car stopped before I knew it.

About five minutes after running, the scene of the accident near the factory caught my eye.

Blood pooled on the floor.

Busy paramedics and police.

I thought about going down and checking it out, but I didn’t have time so I decided to just skip it.

***

Curl Curl Curl!

late hour. Breaking the silence in the mountains, the car making a hard noise as it climbed the slope.

‘The atmosphere is dreary at once.’

A bleak parking lot illuminated only by the half-full moonlight appeared.

After getting out of the car, I put on an icebox and a backpack and walked toward the west gate of Doksanseong Fortress.

The evening in the mountains was quiet.

No, it was creepy.

As we walked, clouds covered the moonlight.

I couldn’t see anything even faintly visible.

“oh!”

Something sharp grazed my toe.

When I touched it, it was a broken tree branch.

When I put my hand on the wound, a little blood flowed, but it wasn’t a big deal.

I didn’t turn on the flashlight because I was afraid that people would notice it, but I don’t think I can even find the direction.

I took out my flashlight and checked the time.

‘9:30.’

I feel like I walked for 30 minutes, but only 10 minutes passed.

It seems that the senses have become dull as much as the narrowed field of view.

‘Let’s quench our thirst.’

My whole body is wet with sweat from the heavy load.

Gulp!

in a quiet forest. Even the sound of running water is loud. It was time to finish drinking a bottle of 500ml mineral water and set off.

Sasasac~

I heard the sound of leaves shaking loudly behind me.

I quickly turned the flashlight in the direction of the sound. I could only see the leaves swaying in the breeze.

‘Is it a wild animal?’

I moved slowly again and headed towards the bojeoksa.

Took!

thump thump!

‘There is someone.’

I quickly moved the flashlight in the direction of the sound.

Pale face in jeans.

Bloodstains everywhere.

Noticeably smaller pupils.

A woman with blood on her mouth was staring at me by the tree.

‘It’s a vampire.’

thump!

thump!

The moment I recognized the guy’s identity, my heart skipped a beat.

‘sh*t.’

I expected that there would be a villain, but I never thought I would meet already.

They get stronger the more they eat blood, so I can’t imagine how strong they will become if they mix with the general public and drink blood.

Instinct warned me to run away, but reason was not.

This is the place where I will have to build a fort and live in the future. Villains must be eliminated by all visible tribes. My head started spinning rapidly.

Judging by the small pupils and saliva flowing from the mouth, he is currently in a state of congestion.

The runaway state is a phenomenon that occurs within an hour after the first blood loss, and refers to a loss of reason and only the instinct to chase blood.

Let’s buy some time to put on the equipment.

Come on!

The moment you put your load down.

A vampire rushed at me.

The distance is about 5m.

The clouds that had just blocked the moonlight passed by, and the vampire’s figure was faintly visible.

He quickly picked up his pickaxe and threw it at the vampire.

hooked!

Judging by the muffled sound, it seems to have hit.

It is at this time.

I took the equipment out of my inventory.

window in the right hand. A shield in the left hand.

And put a flashlight in his mouth.

The flashlight’s light shone on him. Luckily, the pickaxe was lodged in his thigh.

Suwook!

With an eerie sound, the vampire pulled out the pickaxe.

“Cheak!”

Is it because it’s painful? Or maybe he was angry, and he lunged at me with a grotesque noise.

The distance gradually decreases.

3 m.

2m..

Vampires are within range.

‘It’s now. The target is his heart.’

I gave strength to my left foot, pulled my right shoulder back, and threw out the spear with all my might.

hooked!

Contrary to expectations, due to the height of the ground, the spear penetrated the eye instead of the heart it was aiming for.

“Ah!”

A scream of pain echoed through the mountain. But that’s it. The guy pushed in with a spear stuck in his eye.

Unpleasant sensation transmitted to the fingertips.

The distance narrows in an instant.

The vampire’s mouth was wide open.

Sharp fangs were exposed along with an unpleasant smell of blood.

thump!

thump!

My heart pounded again and goose bumps ran through my body.

‘If you get bitten, you die.’

Come to your senses. I put down the spear and raised the shield with both hands to block the fangs.

With a ‘puck’ sound, the fangs were driven into the shield.

Bang!

As the vampire’s fists began to pound the shield, the body continued to be pushed backwards, eventually crashing into a tree.

‘There is no place to go back any more.’

Bang!

The shield began to crack little by little, unable to overcome the rampant vampire power.

Puffy!

Eventually, the shield shattered and sharp fangs pointed at my throat.

With all my might, I grabbed him by the neck and pushed him away. But little by little, it started to get out of hand.

The power of the berserk surpassed even my strength, which became stronger by drinking ‘Tears of God’.

If you go on like this you will really die. In an instant, another weapon I had came to mind.

He quickly took out a silver chopstick from his pocket and stabbed the boy in the heart.

hooked!

The unpleasant sensation of digging into the flesh was transmitted through the chopsticks, and the boy’s movements began to slow. I kicked the guy in the stomach with all my might.

“Haa~”

A harsh breath escaped from his mouth.

[You have acquired 55 Coins.]

I relaxed, my legs gave out, and I sat down on the floor and took a deep breath, waiting for my body to calm down for a moment.

‘Whew~ It was dangerous.’

While sitting, he turned his gaze to the spot where the vampire had fallen.

Like a scene in a movie, it was slowly turning to ashes, starting with the part where the silver chopsticks were stuck.

A gust of wind blew the ash away, leaving a green, sparkling orb in its place.

‘It’s worth taking the risk.’

As I approached and grabbed the essence, the information appeared in front of me.

‘Eye enhancement ticket?’

Are my eyes strengthened?

He put his right hand on his left eye.

＜Rating Enhancement＞

[800 coins are required to make eyes as an item.]

I hope the body will be strengthened too.

I didn’t even think about it.

The composition of the eye package was as follows.

*Eyes ＜grade enhancement＞ package.

[Rating]: Rare

[Classification]: Body enhancement rights.

[Content]: Eye grade enhancement ticket

– 1 Advanced

– 1 rare

The result of the reinforcement so far. From normal to rare, it costs 5 times the previous level, that is, 24,800 coins if you use only coins to enhance the eyes.

‘There is no need to hesitate.’

[You have selected the eye package.]

I want to check it right now, but I don’t have enough coins.

Perhaps the lack of coins will be met with the initial reward you will get when you build a shelter. Because it was like that in the game too.

Pack your bags and head to your destination. Suddenly, I had this thought.

Seeing as I encountered the villain in less than a day, more people than I expected would choose the villain.

Maybe it just doesn’t have to be. Villains don’t get attacked by zombies in real life.

Of course, you will have to throw away your conscience and the lust for blood will follow, but it won’t be a problem for those who have already chosen the villain.

Also, judging from the reward I just got, if you kill the villain, you get the essence and a certain portion of the coins you have.

‘It’s exactly the same as a game.’

I sorted out my thoughts and headed for my destination.

***

When I arrived at the west gate of Doksanseong, I came downstairs and put down all my belongings.

I sat for a while and thought about how to sell the mountain.

The square is activated when the guard stone is used, and the function of the shelter is lost when the square collapses.

Therefore, the plaza, which will be the heart of the shelter, must be installed in the safest place.

When I checked during the day, I could secure a space of at least 50m if I dug in to the west from where I was standing.

First of all, you should dig in about 20m, use the guard stone, and move the entrance after looking at the situation.

‘Let’s dig now.’

I lightly stretched my body and started swinging my pickaxe.

It will probably take quite some time.

Puff!

…

…

Puff!

[You have obtained the Essence of Earth.]

I continued to swing my pickaxe toward the west.

Puff!

Fluffy!

…

…

He picked up a pickaxe without hesitation, and after a while, he was able to get inside quite a bit.

I took a proper break while lighting the lights with a lantern in between, and when I hit the pickaxe, the basic site of the shelter was created in the shape I wanted.

A cave with a height of 2.5 m and a width of 1 m.

After moving various food materials and goods brought by car to one side of the cave, I took out the shelter package.

Now it’s time to build a shelter.
