Medicine to restore health (1)

[Production: Simple Flamethrower]

-Materials: lighter, insect killer, wire

-Cost: 1 coin

-Production time: 10 seconds

[Owned Material]

lighter 2

insect killer 0

lots of wires.

In other words, among the materials required to make a flamethrower, there is currently a shortage of insect killers.

However, there are 14 barrels of butane gas.

To be honest, isn’t butane gas much more powerful for lighting purposes?

‘Let’s do it.’

If it doesn’t work, it’s unavoidable, but if you do, you can get a flamethrower crafted with great success.

‘Simple crafting flamethrower!’

Junyoung tried to make it with a can of butane gas, a lighter, and a wire bundle.

notification at that moment.

[Butane gas is not a registered ingredient in the recipe.][Production is not possible.]

‘Damn it!’

Is it like this after all?

Common sense, I think it can be used as a substitute.

There seems to be no flexibility in this bizarre apocalyptic system.

‘Then I will have no choice but to find an insect killer.’

There are still quite a few houses in this building that Junyoung has not looted.

[4th floor] Rooms 401, 402, 403

[3rd floor] Room 303

[1st floor] Room 101, 102

[Underground] B101, B102, warehouse(?)

All doors are locked.

Maybe the owner of the house is inside.

‘Now it’s almost not.’

Day 3 of Apocalypse.

If there are survivors, it is normal to have a presence in some way.

‘Then shall we start with Room 303?’

It’s right next door to Junyoung’s hideout, Room 302.

After a while, Junyoung, standing in front of the front door of Room 303, rang his bell again.

Ding Dong!

“Is nobody there?”

bang bang!

I knock on the front door, but there is no response.

‘okay. If it’s anywhere else, just in case, this is a really empty house.’

it’s right next door

If there were people, even a small sign should have been heard, but for the past two days there has been no sound.

So, let’s break the front door and enter.

‘Come to think of it, they say it’s not normal to break the front door.’

I brought a hammer from the toolbox, but will this really work?

of course it does

‘Die, you hit it with a hammer, but it doesn’t break and break?’

But.

In the meantime, there will be a lot of noise.

In that case, the zombies nearby may come in droves.

It means that you can have another battle with the zombies before you even open the door.

In particular, in the current situation where mana is 0, it is dangerous if even magical zombies appear.

It’s because we can’t win unless we explore and find the core of magic.

‘Is there any way to get in without breaking the front door?’

Would you rather penetrate through a window or balcony?

In fact, it seems much easier on the difficulty level than breaking the door.

But to do that, you have to take the risk of falling.

In that case, rooms 101 and 102 would be safe, but there is a security window installed there, so it’s not easy either.

‘It would be great if you could just know the password of the digital door lock.’

Is it possible to find out the password through exploration?

It’s a really stupid idea though.

The investigation also discovered the weakness of magical zombies.

A password for the digital door lock may also be possible.

‘Is it even possible to do something like that?’

What should be below?

Junyoung looked at the digital door lock and explored.

Since you have 0 mana anyway, you won’t be able to get anything from quests.

It doesn’t cost mana to see if the quest works.

[There are objects that can be explored in front.]

Surprisingly, a light of exploration has emerged in the digital door lock.

‘uh?’

I hoped it was real![Would you like to explore the subject?]

“Yes.”

I nodded once.

[Your mana is low.][Please restore mana to explore the target.][Mana 0/70]

You can’t do it without mana.

I already know this, but I checked it again.

‘Then it’s a plan change.’

You can get in without breaking the door, but you don’t have to do any hard work.

Above all, if you can use the digital door lock of room 303 at will, Junyoung will have another hideout in addition to room 302.

This means more space available for storage.

The more space to store food, various daily necessities, and japtems, the better.

‘It’s well worth a try.’

Junyoung, who immediately returned to room 302, lay in bed waiting for mana to recover.

It seems that mana recovers quickly when lying down and resting.

If possible, close your eyes.

I don’t sleep though.

.

.

.

But when I close my eyes, I fall asleep.

‘this! I fell asleep.’

I lay down to recover only 10 mana points, but somehow fell asleep.

But she was fine anyway.

Because of that, mana was restored to the maximum.

I went straight out the front door.

She looked out from the hallway and there was still a thick fog around the building.

‘It’s not an ordinary fog.’

A grotesque mist with a gloomy gray color and an eerie blood color.

It was so thick that it looked like a smoke bomb had exploded, so the visibility was less than a few meters.

‘I don’t know what the world will be like in the future.’

The reality is that there is no real answer.

Like that strange mist that can’t see anything, the future is just bleak.

However, it is not something to be discouraged about.

Junyoung moved forward to Room 303 as planned.

‘research!’

[There are objects that can be explored in front.][Would you like to explore the subject?]

Again, like before, a light of exploration was born in the digital door lock part.

“Yes.”

[Explore the secrets of the digital door lock by consuming your mana.]

.

.

.

[Search was successful.][The password for the digital door lock is…][032032.]

‘Ohh!’

I was hoping, did you really find out the password?

‘Let’s see if it’s real?’

After uploading the cover of the digital door lock, Junyoung tried entering the password.

‘032032.’

belt belt…

The array of numbers is a bit odd.

Are you bread and bread soon?

Is that so?

‘It’s really simple.’

It is presumably the house where a woman who really liked bread lived.

Tiririri-.

Meanwhile, the digital door lock was released.

Turning the doorknob, the front door opened.

‘OMG! It’s really off-duty.’

Explore your unique abilities!

At first I thought it was, but the more I look at it, the more it seems like a deceptive ability.

‘No one is there either.’

Of course, the livelihood remains the same.

Three loaves of bread on the table in the kitchen.

One croissant, one cream bread, and one red bean bread each.

It seems that the owner of the house also liked the bread.

Although it is a simple amount to be called bread-soon.

‘Are you hurt?’

It looks fine to the naked eye.

Because there was no mold or no mold.

Anyway, it’s a win-win.

take it and see

‘for a moment!’

Junyoung burst into laughter as she was about to quickly pick up her groceries and move it to room 302.

Here too is now a hideout.

There is no need to carry the burden in a cumbersome way.

Shh.

But then, I felt a sign of something behind me.

This is the side of the living room with the balcony.

The curtains are closed and you can’t see outside.

‘what?’

I thought there was definitely no one there.

Are you the owner of the house?

That can’t be.

Could it be a zombie?

There is no way to prevent zombies from climbing up the walls and infiltrating the balcony.

‘Are you too careful with your movements for that?’

Either way, you’ll have to figure it out.

Junyoung pointed the flamethrower and moved towards the balcony.

And the moment when the curtains are carefully tilted to the side.

“uh? you?”

A cat with a round face curled up on one side of the balcony.

The peculiarity is that there is no cat-specific whiskers on his chin.

The reason is because it was completely burned down in the fire earlier.

Yes.

That guy is none other than the awakened cat And.

But why is this guy here?

“Was this your house by any chance?”

Although the front door was closed, it was an awakened cat.

Climbing up to the roof through the balcony would be a joke.

“·················ogue.”

Then Andrew raised his head and looked at Junyoung and blinked.

I did it before, are you going to check again?

It seems very important to him that he is not an enemy.

Junyoung immediately blinked both eyes.

we are not enemies no enemy!

once. twice. third time.

are you okay now?

Then he responded by closing his eyes tightly to see if he was relieved.

It was unusual to see him shivering with his body curled up.

‘Is that guy sick somewhere?’

It just looks like that.

He must have been injured while fighting a magical zombie earlier.

Looks like a pretty serious injury?

‘research!’

In times like these, this ability will be helpful.

notification at that moment.

[An additional exploration of an already explored target does not consume mana.][The status of And is displayed.]

Oh! there is also this

No additional mana is consumed!

There will be no pressure to look at And’s condition going forward.

【Name】 And

[Race] Cat

[Level] 1

[Life] 14/60 [Critical]

【Mana】 2/30

[Stat] Strength 5 Stamina 6 Agility 7 Magic 3

【Unique Ability】 Detection (Lv1)

【Coin】 38

[Combat Ability] Front Paw Slam (Lv1)

Everything else is the same as last time.

A guy with strong physical stats that makes Junyoung the envy of a cat.

But now it’s not something to be envious of.[Life] 14/60 [Critical]

The letters [Critical] displayed on the guy’s vitality!

‘What does this mean?’

When I momentarily touched that part, I immediately heard a related explanation as a notification.

[And now has a fatal wound, so even if he rests, his natural health does not recover.][And when his health reaches 0, he dies.][Even a small amount can be cured if you take a medicine that restores life.]

It’s fatal!

According to the description, if you leave it like this, And will die.

It can be saved only if there is a drug that restores life.

‘A drug that restores vitality? Where do you get them?’

It sounds like you’re talking about potions.

Junyoung hasn’t gotten such an item yet.

Even if it’s a zombie transformation potion.

‘for a moment! What if it was a lifestone?’

Come to think of it, there is one ability that I gained by killing a magical zombie earlier.

[Reserve Life (Lv1)]

-Description: Consumes your life force to create a stone imbued with the energy of life.

– Consumes 20 HP

-Result: Life Stone (Lv1) (Recovers 10 life when taken)

-Reuse time: 1 hour

‘okay. I don’t know if this is possible.’

However, in order to obtain a lifestone, Junyoung has to sacrifice 20 health.

That’s half of his current health.

Moreover, according to the notification earlier, this ability is very painful.

‘What kind of pain is it, I just have to endure it.’

The question is whether the reduced health will automatically recover like mana.

How long it takes to recover is also important.

‘I was curious anyway.’

It’s an acquired ability.

It would be good to know what this ability is specifically.

‘Reserve vitality!’

Instantaneous notification.

[Life Stockpile costs 20 of your life.][Health that has been decreased through the life reserve is automatically restored in the resting state. Required time: 120 minutes.]

It was like this.

Fortunately, the mystery was solved.

So, if you are curious about anything, you should check it out.

[Would you like to stock up on your vitality?][This operation is very painful, and it is recommended to try it in a safe place as it will decrease your health for a certain period of time.]

It’s not just painful, it’s very painful.

It scares me a bit, though.

【Name】 And

[Life] 12/60 [Critical]

I checked the status window of And, and in the meantime, his vitality was lower.

“Yes. It saves life.”

Junyoung didn’t hesitate.

Leaving everything behind, I really want to save this cat.

Even if the face wasn’t really cute.

[Reserves your vitality.][Consumes 20 of your life.][Life] 20/40

A sudden rush of shuddering pain.

“······Eww!”

Has it finally started?

Again, it’s not just painful.

It’s like being stabbed all over your body with a needle.

“Gagging!”

He clenched his teeth, but a moan erupted spontaneously.

The shuddering pain makes my mind wander.

Could I die like this?

‘Uhhhhhhh!’

Oh! What kind of torture is this!

In excruciating pain, Junyoung rolled over on the living room floor.

I don’t think I’ll ever do this again.

.

.

.

How much time has passed?

As soon as I thought I was going to die, the pain disappeared like a lie.

[Pain resistance increases by 1.][Patience increases by 1.][Increases the amount of auto-recovery of HP by 1.][You have obtained the Life Stone (Lv1).]

At the same time, a red jewel the size of a nail appeared on the palm of her hand, shining beautifully like a ruby.
