EP. 48. Securing the Apartment (1) 

While “MILF Mind Manipulation” explained Aunt’s “devoted” attitude, there was another change after my rank rose to “Manager.”

The newly displayed base stat numbers in “Stats” were very useful for intuitively showing my abilities, but what really caught my eye was something else… 

That was the fact that I could directly raise these stats using MP. 

When I tapped the “+” next to a stat, a window popped up: 

[Would you like to use 10 MP to increase Strength by 1? (Yes/No) ▲ After 40, the MP cost increases to 15.] 

If I had enough MP, I could enhance my physical abilities without surgery, drugs, or grueling effort. 

For a moment, I felt the urge to mash the “+” and “Yes” buttons, but my “Cool Judgment” skill immediately kicked in, listing all the other things I’d need MP for in the future. 

‘I have to upgrade electricity and water, and once we secure the whole building, I’ll need to build fences…’ 

After a moment, thinking of all the essential things that would easily consume over 200 MP, my swelling desire for “power” slowly calmed down. 

‘Right, let’s finish preparing for the exchange first and think about it again… Still, it’s hard to resist being OP…’ 

… 

The morning after sleeping with Catherine, Day 6 of the zombie apocalypse. 

The three of us sat around the table for a simple breakfast. 

We couldn’t stop smiling whenever our eyes met, and after gearing up, Catherine and I left the house with Aunt seeing us off. 

“Both of you, be careful and don’t get hurt.” 

Right after, since we didn’t know when the electricity might go out, Catherine and I took the stairs instead of the elevator up to the 20th floor. 

Step step step step… 

Climbing 13 floors with gear wasn’t easy, but following behind Catherine, the time felt like heaven. 

Wiggle♡ wiggle wiggle wiggle♡ 

As she climbed, Catherine’s voluptuous butt, sticking out and swaying in every direction, was mesmerizing. 

The way that firm flesh, which had bounced so lewdly under my thrusts last night, now stretched her jumpsuit was so tantalizing… 

I didn’t feel any leg fatigue at all. I could have climbed stairs all day like this. 

Experiencing firsthand the effect a sexy butt has on a man, we soon reached the 13th floor. 

Squeeze♡ 

Before I knew it, my right hand moved and grabbed Catherine’s watermelon-sized butt. 

Instead of getting angry or pushing my hand away at my sudden (rude?) touch, Catherine turned back with a slightly flushed face. 

She then pushed her butt out toward me, slowly unzipped her suit, and whispered softly. 

Ziiip 

“Minwoo… there’s about 10 minutes left… want to do it?” 

Ten minutes? Of course I do. 

… 

“Huff, huff…” 

“Pant, pant…” 

“You two made it right on time. But even if you were a little late, we’d be fine…” 

“Huff huff, no, it’s important to be punctual.” 

Seeing us arrive at exactly 9 a.m., Park Sanghyuk looked at us with a slightly sympathetic expression. 

No wonder-after finishing sex with just one minute to spare, Catherine and I sprinted up seven more floors in 30 seconds, so our faces and heavy breathing were a sight. 

Well… pounding away like crazy on the 13th floor didn’t help either… 

Anyway, after a quick greeting and catching our breath, I called Park Sanghyuk aside as he was preparing to head to the roof. 

I showed him the recon drone I got from last night’s quest and a Bluetooth speaker I found on the 9th floor. 

“I found this while searching. Before we go up ourselves, I want to try an experiment.” 

“An experiment?” 

“Yes. Zombies are sensitive to sound, right? So I want to hang the speaker from the drone and try luring them away. If it works, we can clear the roof easily.” 

“Oh, that’s a good idea…” 

Nodding at my idea of using sound to herd zombies, Park Sanghyuk agreed. 

So, putting the original plan on hold, I sent the drone out through the window of unit 2003. 

Whirrrrrr 

With its distinctive rotor noise, the drone carrying the speaker rose through the window, and the video from its onboard camera appeared on my phone, which doubled as the controller. 

First, I saw bloodstains scattered around the mostly empty parking lot. 

As zombies wandered the streets and some buildings lay in ruins, the camera finally captured the roof of our apartment. 

[Groooar…] 

[Keruk… Kyahaha!] 

About 20 zombies were wandering the roof, and the female zombie closest to the drone was the first to react to the sound. 

Soon, the other zombies also turned their heads toward the drone. 

At my signal, Catherine tapped her phone. 

At the same time, the connected speaker blasted Verdi’s “Requiem,” specifically “Dies Irae,” at maximum volume. 

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! 

Dies iræ, dies illa, 

solvet sæclum in favilla, 

Teste David cum Sibylla. 

With the powerful sound echoing across the rooftop, all the zombies turned toward the drone. 

Not only that, but more than a dozen zombies poured out of the entrances to the 1,2 and 5,6 lines as “Dies Irae” played. 

I smiled at the speaker’s performance, which exceeded my expectations. 

Whirrrrr! 

I quickly moved the drone to the railing on the sunny side. 

Now, with sunlight as bright as a summer day, I hoped the zombies, blinded by the light, would throw themselves over the edge. 

Right after, 

Catherine, Park Sanghyuk, his group, and I all fixed our eyes on my phone screen. 

The female zombie who first reacted to the drone’s rotors began moving toward the sound. 

Soon, the other zombies on the roof also started lumbering in the same direction, their pace picking up. 

Thud thud thud thud 

[Khreeee!] 

It didn’t take long before about 30 zombies, necks stretched forward, charged at the speaker. 

When the lead zombie was about two meters from the drone- 

Leap! 

[Screech!] 

Whirr! 

With a fierce look in its black eyes, it leapt at the speaker. 

At that moment, I pulled the drone back. 

[Eh?!] 

The zombie’s face showed surprise as it reached for the drone, but its body tumbled forward. 

Its jumping leg caught the railing, flipping its body forward and sending it plummeting down. 

Toward the cement 20 floors below. 

At least, for this zombie whose head would soon be smashed like a watermelon, there was one consolation: 

There were plenty of “friends” eager to become one with the cement. 

Following the first zombie over the railing, more than 30 zombies hurled themselves into the air without hesitation. 

Soon, the sound of flesh hitting the railing echoed, followed by “thud” and “splat” noises ringing through the apartment. 

‘I’ll have to clean that up later… Ah, I’ll have the lower-floor ajummas do it.’ 

… 

[Congratulations! Achievement ‘Halfway to 100: Killed 50 Zombies’ unlocked. Reward: 20 MP.] 

After earning a reward for taking out over 30 zombies with the drone, our group climbed up to the now-cleared roof. 

First, we closed the entrances to the 1,2 and 5,6 lines, then, after a brief discussion, decided to clear the 1,2 line first. 

Park Sanghyuk and his son, armed with makeshift wooden shields, entered first. 

And then, the scanner’s blind spot was highlighted once again. 

“What the hell is that, shit…”
