chapter 35
Zombie Queen Arachne.
[Queen Arachne is dead.]
[The wave has ended.]
“Poetry, Mayor!”
The secretary shouted, embarrassed by the message that appeared in front of her eyes.
“Arachne is dead?”
Disappointed, so was the market.
“It seems to be him.”
The mayor frowned at the secretary’s words.
In the Hall of Sacrifice, as many as 500 people were sacrificed to obtain the ruler’s essence, but this would be useless.
This was because the Essence of the Ruler I just created could only be used in the first wave.
What’s more, the mayor clicked his tongue and opened his mouth, because killing the queen by passing through the huge number of zombies next to the queen meant that she could die if she stayed here.
“Let’s go back to the fort for now.”
It was time for the market to go back after understanding the situation.
“Isn’t that the queen?”
“You look like a real queen.”
The zombie in the form of a spider coming to the subway station with a large group of zombies from afar was definitely a zombie queen.
“Obviously, it appeared that he was dead, but that…”
It was strange. Apparently, the system message said that the queen was dead.
When the mayor took out the ruler’s essence from his pocket, it vibrated and rose into the air, slowly moving towards the zombie queen.
What this meant was clear. That the spider-type zombie running ahead is Arachne.
The mayor went downstairs to the subway station, probably full of expectations that he could tame the queen, even though it was obviously a strange thing.
And a number of villains moved along the market.
When the essence of the ruler stopped in front of Arachne, both Arachne and the zombies stopped as well.
“oh···.”
The mayor laid his hand on the ruler’s essence.
[Securing control over Queen Zombie Arachne.]
The mayor was delighted with the message that appeared before his eyes.
I don’t know what happened, but it was because I thought that the zombie in the form of a spider in front of me was definitely a zombie queen and would soon come under her control.
“Mayor, congratulations.”
The secretary next to him was also a high-end villain, so he knew the many benefits of Arachne taming.
But their joy was short-lived.
[Arachne has already been dominated.]
[Failed to control Arachne.]
A message popped up in front of the mayor’s eyes.
“what?”
The bewildered mayor looked up at Arachne to find the queen drooling and looking down at him.
hooked!
A long coffin from the queen’s stomach pierced the mayor’s stomach.
The coffin swayed and something entered the mayor’s stomach.
“This is how it should be…”
It was the moment Arachne laid an egg in the mayor’s stomach.
Due to the cocoon that flew in, the mayor was stuck on the ground and could not even move.
“town.”
The surrounding situation was also not very different.
At Arachne’s cry, Alpha Zombie Muscle and other zombies all started running towards the villain.
-That’s…
-That’s…
The villains, quickly targeted by the queen and zombies, fled into the train station to return to the fortress.
Come on!
But to no avail.
It was because Arachne moved on the wall in an instant and blocked the entrance.
“Everyone wants to die?! Don’t be fooled and tame the zombies below!”
The villains who came to their senses at the secretary’s cry began taming the zombies.
The secretary bit her arm, and the blood that spilled out gathered and began to spin violently around her waist.
“I will clear the way, so send the zombies to the queen and follow me.”
The secretary ran towards the zombie horde.
Furbuck!
The atmosphere changed when the bodies of the zombies touched by blood began to explode.
“wow!”
As the zombies in front exploded in an instant, the villains who saw hope shouted and followed the secretary.
“Everyone, just me…”
Awesome!
The secretary’s throat fell on the knife of a man who suddenly appeared, and the hopes of the villains disappeared.
***
‘I must hurry.’
Since the Arachne buff is applied to the entire city, transforming Black into Arachne is a double-edged sword until you obtain the Book of Seal and delete the skill.
‘Hey, organize it quickly.’
-Kia!
Awesome!
From the front, I eliminated the fleeing villain, and Black, who became a queen at the subway station, tore through the enemies.
The situation ended in an instant, and there were only the bodies of the villains and zombies around.
When I moved in front of the station and tore the cocoon, the mayor coughing up blood crawled out on the floor.
“Sah, save me!”
Something was wriggling in the mayor’s stomach, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Soon zombies will pop out and the mayor will die.
“Why did you become a villain?”
At the words of the mayor, the residents of Osan headed for City Hall without any doubt.
As much as that, the mayor was a person who was respected by the citizens of Osan.
“To rescue my family from being held hostage… Ahh!”
The mayor’s stomach was ripped open and zombies crawled out.
Wormwood!
I stabbed the mayor’s body with a knife.
[You have acquired 589 Coins.]
Osan Mayor Lee Tae-shik. These were the miserable words of a former hero of Osan City who was elected with overwhelming support from the citizens even though he ran as an independent.
“Hey, let’s go to City Hall.”
We hurried to City Hall.
The road to City Hall was comfortable.
It’s because the zombies opened the way when Black, who was transforming into a queen, passed by.
After a while we arrive at City Hall.
The fortress built at the city hall was surrounded by stone walls like Sema Station.
Just in case, I grabbed one of the zombies and threw it against the wall.
Took!
There was no shield.
“Yeah, save all the people and eliminate all the villains.”
-Kia!
Black ran into the fort.
Awesome!
He decapitated the zombies who followed Black and entered the fortress.
“Crazy, why is the queen attacking us!”
“I don’t know! does it matter now? For now, let’s hide away until the mayor comes.”
The scenery inside the fort was miserable.
Chains were tied around the necks of the people lined up next to the sacrificial altar, and teeth marks were clearly visible on their necks.
‘under···.’
When he grasped the condition of people through his insightful eyes, he let out a sigh.
“Does that make sense?”
Over 100 people were mutating into vampires.
In order to cure people undergoing mutation, priests’ treatment or antidote is needed, but I didn’t have it right now.
That means you have to kill them all yourself.
Fortunately, there is a cloth around the eyes, so there is no need to make eye contact.
‘Someone has to do it anyway.’
You can’t create secondary damage by releasing those who are mutating.
I made up my mind and poked my chopsticks into the hearts of the mutating people, and they scattered like vampires.
“What is it, you son of a b*tch!”
“I don’t know, just jump out!”
The two villains who were running away from the queen saw me and shouted.
The villains Black missed were escaping out of the castle.
<blink>
<blink>
quickly blocked the gate.
“Get out of the way, you crazy bastard!”
A man lunged at me brandishing a huge axe.
I grabbed the ax with my left hand and stabbed a chopstick into my heart.
“I feel new!”
“what?”
“That bastard is the bastard who killed all of his colleagues at Osan University Station!”
One of the villains shouted and the rest of the villains started running back into the castle.
hooked!
He burrowed into the arms of a nearby guy, stabbed his chopsticks through his chest, and decapitated the villain next to him.
“f*ck! What to say to us!”
With Arachne behind and me blocking the front, the surviving villains drew their weapons.
“Are you just running away?”
A total of six enemies survived.
“What are you talking about, I’m not even going to let you go!”
Although they did raise their weapons, they only noticed and didn’t rush at them.
“back.”
Arachne pierced the villain’s heart as he looked back at my words. Then launch a cobweb.
Cheon!
Two villains stuck to the floor in the cobwebs fired from the Queen’s belly.
hooked!
hooked!
Eliminate all villains in front of you.
“Eh, clean up all those who run away.”
-Kia!
I left the cleanup to black and entered the altar of sacrifice.
A man with a bag on his back and the essence of slaughter in one hand looked at me with a terrified face.
“Put that down.”
“If I put it down, will you save me?”
When I nodded, he hesitated for a moment.
<blink>
hooked!
[You have acquired 186 coins.]
The essence of slaughter flowed from the bag the man dropped.
picked up one of them.
*Essence of Carnage.
[Rating]: Normal
[Description]: Highly concentrated blood made by extracting the blood of a living person.
[Function]: Item payment when used.
-1: Essence of normal grade villain awakening.
-50: Essence of high-level villain awakening.
-100: Normal grade item card.
-300: Advanced grade item card.
-400: Essence of Rare Villain Awakening.
-500: Queen’s Essence.
There are only about 300 essences of massacre in the bag. I put them all in my inventory and broke the altar.
[The Villain Fortress has been destroyed.]
Shining essence fell to the floor where the altar was broken.
[You have obtained the essence of the fortress.]
Fortress Essence is a valuable item that opens the buildings needed for the fortress or increases the number of items sold in stores.

move out of the building. I picked up the key that had fallen on the ashes.
I untied the blindfold of the man right next to me and undid the chains.
“Thank you.”
“no. I’m going to clean up the area, so please loosen the chains around people’s necks.”
“yes.”
While the man freed the people, he eliminated all the villains and zombies around him.
There were no living zombies or villains around.
The problem is taking the survivors to the Sema Station Fortress.
I guess I will have no choice but to use the car.
“Hey, take Muscle and clear the cars on the side of the road heading to Sema Station.”
In order to use the car anyway, it was necessary to clear the roadside.
– Big!
Black led the zombies around and went outside.
“thank you. teacher.”
The man I had untied a moment ago came up to me and said:
“no. Are you okay?”
“yes. it’s okay. I have a question for you.”
“Yes, please.”
The man took something out of his pocket and held it.
“I received the Essence of Awakening as a reward a while ago. How do I use it?”
“Just break it.”
“Do you just break it?”
“Yes, you can get superpowers by breaking it, so don’t worry and break it.”
The man looked at me alternately with the Essence of Awakening in his hand, then squeezed his hand tightly.
A white aura wrapped around the man and disappeared.
“uh···. What is an office worker?”
*Hyungsoo Shim Lv 1.
[Occupation]: Office worker (general)
[Skill]: Increased work speed.
– All work efficiency increased by 10%.
[Ability level]: Normal.
-Strength: 1.1, Agility: 1.3, Stamina: 1.2
After all, you are an office worker.
“hmm···. Jobs can be changed using achievement points.”
“You mean it’s a bad job.”
“Not bad.”
It was one of the most common jobs that exist in MA, and more than 30% of mainland NPCs in the game were office workers.
Still, the command-type skills that come out when you go up to the rank of chief or manager are quite useful.
“By the way, if you change your job, will a good job come out?”
“Yes, the job that comes out using the essence of the job is random, so if you are lucky, you can become a wizard.”
The essence of the job could be bought from the fortress manager who manages the achievement shop or obtained with a low probability through zombies that appear after the first wave.
“Oh, thank you. You saved us all, but can you even get a name?”
“I am an iron man.”
“If you were once an iron man, you would be number one in the monster apocalypse ranking, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Seeing that the unawakened person knows me, it seems that he got to know me through the radio.
“everyone! The name of the person who saved us is a once-strong man!”
The man shouted and went back, but the people’s reaction was sad.
He was sitting on the floor and crying.
A person calling out someone’s name.
This one who lost his mind and passed out.
you will lose your family But now we had no time to grieve.
I clapped my hands and drew people’s attention to me.
“I will leave here soon and go to the safe fortress of Sema Station. So if you know how to drive, please come forward.”
Many people applied, and I picked two people who could drive a bus and took them outside.
People were divided into two police buses that were believed to have been driven by the villain.
An hour later we were able to reach the Sema Fortress.
