Apocalypse's All-Rounder Mischief

Chapter 17

Encounters with the Awoken (1)

Andy has two unique abilities.

【Name】 And

[Race] Cat

[Level] 2

【Unique Ability】 Detection (Lv1), Respect (Lv1)

One is ‘detection’, which is a terrifying ability to see through enemies in invisibility and stealth.

And another one.

When I reached level 2, the ability called was born.

[And’s unique ability Reward (Lv1) is activated.][Your health recovery speed is greatly increased.][Duration 3 minutes]

When I stroked the head of the sleeping guy on the boat, he growled for a moment, and then this ability was activated.

‘Is this a skill that can be activated by stroking it?’

Somehow it seems

Boeun (報恩).

Literally, it means to return a favor.

The skill name is really unique.

‘Increase the rate of recovery of life!’

It is also called a significant increase, not just an increase.

Although it only lasts 3 minutes.

[The effect of Boeun disappears.][Your health recovery speed returns to normal.]

It must have been 3 minutes since then.

swish.

Just in case, Junyoung stroked Andrew’s head again.

Then he started groaning again.

[And’s unique ability Reward (Lv1) is activated.][Your health recovery speed is greatly increased.][Duration 3 minutes]

‘Five!’

I wondered if it was true.

Bo-eun is an ability that is automatically activated over and over again by simply stroking And.

‘It’s a strange way.’

What kind of skill activation are you stroking?

It’s a bit cumbersome, but it’s not bad when you think about it.

Cats get pretty and Junyoung gets buffs!

‘This is a win-win for each other.’

By the way, specifically, how much faster is the recovery rate?

It’s a huge increase, but I don’t know now.

It was because he had already recovered his health to the maximum due to sufficient sleep.

But there is a way to check it right now.

‘Let’s make a lifestone.’

Life Skill Reserve (Lv1).

If you use this ability, you will immediately consume 20 health points.

Instead, you can get a lifestone with similar performance to a potion.

‘It was burdensome because it took so long to recover.’

It now takes about 100 minutes to recover 20 points of life.

In the meantime, if the monsters attack you, it will hurt your head.

‘I don’t know how much time will be shortened with Boeun.’

Still, you need to try it once.

Because the lifestone is worth it.

‘Reserve vitality!’

[It is recommended to try in a safe place, as life storage is very painful and also decreases health for a certain period of time.][However, if you endure pain, you can increase the level of the special abilities Patience (Lv1), Pain Resistance (Lv1), and Auto-Recovery of Life (Lv1).]

As always, notifications have a really friendly side.

‘If you keep doing this, your passive skill levels seem to go up.’

In other words, the vitality stockpile is worth more than getting one lifestone.

[Patience (Lv1)]

-Description: Strong patience protects you from enemy attacks.

-Effect: Defense +1

– Patience required until next level 0/10

However, when I read the description window, the patience required to increase the level is a whopping 10.

This means that you need to stock up on health at least 10 times to raise your endurance level to 2.

The same is true for pain resistance and auto-recovery of life.

‘after! It’s not an easy practice.’It is very burdensome because it takes up to 100 minutes to recover life after everyone has left.

[Would you like to stock up on your vitality now?]

Anyway, let’s take a look at And’s unique ability, Boeun.

“Yes.”

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

A tremendous amount of pain rushing in right away.

It’s like being stabbed all over with a knife.

“Wow! Damn it!”

It’s really unbearable pain.

That’s why I tried not to do it whenever possible.

It seemed like I was losing my mind.

Don’t lose your mind here.

[Your Patience is increased by 1. 1/10][Your pain resistance is increased by 1. 1/10][Your auto-recovery speed is increased by 1. 1/10]

I’m dying of pain, but notifications are popping up telling me that something has gone up.

‘Eww!’

swish.

Junyoung unconsciously stroked Andrew on his stomach.

[And’s unique ability Reward (Lv1) is activated.][Your health recovery speed is greatly increased.][You have obtained the Life Stone (Lv1).]

‘···········?

Junyoung was startled.

The moment And’s Boeun was activated, the pain all over his body disappeared.

At the same time, when I looked at the status window, my health was recovering very quickly.

[Life] 40/40

It was full all of a sudden.

It takes only about 3 minutes.

‘Is it really that great?’

I was hopeful, but I never imagined that it would recover so quickly.

Thanks to you, I got 1 Lifestone!

‘I got one easily.’

It is regrettable that the cooldown of the Life Reserve (Lv1) is 1 hour.

Still, in this way, wouldn’t it be possible to create one lifestone per hour?

As an added bonus, you can also increase the proficiency of passive skills with little to no pain.

Truly one stone three birds!!!

It’s all thanks to Treasure Cat And.

“Thank you, Goyang!”

“Nian!”

But.

And as Junyoung continued stroking his hands, Andrew groaned and pushed his hands away with his front paws.

It’s an annoying look

That’s not the end.

He jumped out of Junyoung’s boat and disappeared towards the balcony.

“Andy-!”

He called the guy, but there was no answer as to where he went.

‘He’s a fickle guy.’

In this way, it doesn’t seem easy to make one life stone per hour using this guy.

Let’s make it once, aiming for the time he’s on the boat like before.

‘Where did you go anyway?’

He’s not weak enough to be beaten wherever he goes, but he’s still kind of worried.

This is because there are not only zombies outside, but also scary monsters such as magic zombies and vampires.

‘I’ll go out and look for it.’

Even if this wasn’t the case, I was going to leave anyway.

I have to search vacant houses and secure as much daily necessities as possible.

It would be essential to check the equipment before going out.

[Solid Armor of Life]

-Durability 73/80

The hard life armor he’s wearing as a hoodie is still intact.

The durability of the magical flamethrower was low.

[Magic Flamethrower]

-Durability 2/40

‘I used up quite a bit of durability while fighting a vampire.’

Of course, this is an insect killer, and durability can be restored.

It is also a random number recovery.

If you are unlucky 10.

Up to 40 if you’re lucky.

‘It depends on luck.’

I currently have two insect killers.

I took one of them out of my backpack.

Let’s go for a run

[Do you want to consume 1 Insect Killer to restore the durability of the magical flamethrower?]

This is the notification you hear when you hold a flamethrower in your left hand and hold a bottle of insect killer with your right hand.

“Yes.”

[Injecting mana increases durability recovery.][Consumes 20 Mana][Inject mana?]

do you have anything like this?

Then it’s not the time to save mana.

You need to increase the amount of recovery a little bit.

“Yes.”

[The insect killer disappears.][The magic flamethrower is infused with 20 mana.][Durability is being restored….]

In an instant, the insect killer dispersed like smoke, and the flamethrower was dyed with a bright light.

[The durability of the magical flamethrower has been restored by 34 points.][Magic Flamethrower]

-Durability 36/40

‘It’s real.’

It is a mysterious sight that is still hard to believe even when you see it in person.

Is it because of mana consumption?

A whopping 34 points recovery!

Thanks to this, the durability of the flamethrower returned to 90%.

Let’s use the remaining 1 insect killer when the flamethrower’s durability drops below 5.

Junyoung came out of Room 303.

‘Where do I start?’

[4th floor] Rooms 401, 402, 403

[1st floor] Room 101, 102

[Underground] B101, B102, warehouse(?)

These are places that Junyoung has not yet robbed.

All front doors are locked with digital door locks, but it is easy enough to find out the password if you open your unique ability 〈Explore〉.

The mana cost required for one quest is 10 points.

[Mana] 70/90

For now, I can only explore 7 passwords.

‘It’s fine. Let’s look around everything except the basement warehouse.’

If you know the password anyway, you don’t have to rush to move things to room 302.

It’s something you can take with you whenever you need it.

‘Collect only the insect killers and leave the rest as they are.’

So, shall we go back from the 4th floor?

Immediately, Junyoung went up the stairs and moved to the front door of Room 401.

‘research!’

[There is a target that can be explored in front.][Would you like to explore the subject?]

Again, the light of exploration appeared in the digital door lock.

“Yes.”

[Search was successful.][The password of the digital door lock is … 100400.]

Number one is simple.

Junyoung unlocked the door lock and opened the front door.

Inside the dark living room.

flash!

Something illuminates her eyes and looks at Junyoung.

‘What?’

Junyoung was startled.

I thought there would be no one, but there must be someone.

It is clear that it is not a human being because it shoots out the eye light.

‘A monster?’

However, when the eye light disappeared, what was revealed was a cat with a broad face.

A cat that doesn’t have a whisker on its chin and looks pitiful.Only one of those guys.

And of course

“Were you here?”

“Nyan!”

He closes his eyes tightly as if not to disturb his sleep.

In the most fluffy look of the living room sofa.

‘How the hell did he get here?’

Then I saw that the balcony was open.

If that’s the case, then he’ll eat shit when he comes in.

.

.

.

After a while, Junyoung left Room 401 and searched for Room 402 and 403 in turn.

Continuing on to #101 and #102.

Finally, B101 and B102.

I searched everywhere except the basement warehouse.

‘There are no survivors.’

Although there was no presence for several days after the arrival of the apocalypse.

Still, I was hoping there would be another survivor somewhere in the building.

are they all dead? Or did he go out and disappear?

It is unknown.

Still, thanks to that, seven hideouts were added.

This makes nine in all.

In fact, in this multi-family building, all houses with intact front doors have become Junyoung’s hideouts.

【No. 101】

-Digital door lock: 110110

【No. 102】

-Digital door lock: 080808

Each house has a different door lock password, but there is no need to memorize it cumbersomely.

‘Once you open the quest, you can check it at any time without consuming mana from then on.’

Unfortunately, we were unable to secure many insect killers.

‘I only found two bottles.’

This is because many houses use electronic mosquito repellents instead of spray-type insect killers.

Including the original one, there are only three in total.

‘I wouldn’t be able to last long with this.’

If possible, it would be better to secure as many insect killers as possible by searching other buildings besides this one.

‘okay! Convenience! There must be quite a few insect killers out there.’

If you are looking for a building such as a convenience store or a mart, you may be able to secure a large number of insect killers.

‘Even if it wasn’t, I was slowly trying to go there.’

There was a convenience store in a building about 100 meters away.

I saw some survivors, but now I don’t know what happened.

[Mana] 0/90

‘Before that, let’s restore mana first.’

It’s because I’ve used up all of my mana on my quest.

However.

The sound of urgent footsteps is heard.

‘You’re approaching this way quickly.’

The outside of the building was still covered in thick fog, so I couldn’t see it with the naked eye.

Clearly, it is not the only one.

‘Are they zombies?’

Currently, Junyoung’s location is in the hallway on the first floor of the building.

Junyoung hurriedly moved to the stairs to the second floor, looked down and aimed the flamethrower.

‘what?’

However, after a while, the people who rushed through the fog and entered the building’s entrance were in good health.

‘uh?’

4 men and women.

One of them caught my eye.

An Awakener who created large flames with both hands to drive away zombies.

The man that people called Team Leader Kim.

‘They were at the convenience store.’

Why did they come to this building?

It wasn’t difficult to know why.

“Keehee!”

“Kuktuk!”

Rough breathing and bizarre laughter from the fog.

Zombies were coming in hordes.
