Chapter 58

No way. That can’t be right. Wait a second.

At Kwon Mieon’s words, Mo Yeonhoo quietly set his sensitivity to 50 and was horrified.

What the hell is this? I’m getting motion sick.

Even moving the mouse a little made his view spin all the way around. Something was seriously wrong.

(Whisper) Miu: What game have you even been playing by yourself this whole time?

(Whisper) Miu: And with that weird gun on top of everything...

Miu’s eyes went to the gun Mo Yeonhoo was holding, and at his scolding, Mo Yeonhoo let out a groan.

(Whisper) Miu: Of course you’d shoot better if you went from 40 sensitivity to 6;

(Whisper) Miu: You’ve been training to become a fly all by yourself

(Whisper) Miu: Are you an aspiring fly?

He must have been genuinely shocked, because he was typing without even pausing to breathe. Mo Yeonhoo had honestly never seen Miu talk this much before....

No wonder. I knew I wasn’t this bad at shooting when I was younger.

He had thought it was a problem with the (Necromancer)’s weapon, but apparently that was not it.

Realizing he had been playing the game under absolutely ridiculous conditions, Mo Yeonhoo rubbed at his face, which had gone red with embarrassment.

Graaaah! Grrrk!

Gweeeek!

Fortunately, he did not have time to be embarrassed for long. Even while they were talking, the zombies had kept pushing in, and the inside of the tower was now packed so full of zombies there was nowhere left to step.

(Whisper) 0momo0: 😭😭😭 anyway Miu we should hurry and run away

(Whisper) 0momo0: this place is too scary

(Whisper) 0momo0: since you’re here now, we could just hold out here until the WAVE ends but

(Whisper) Miu: We can’t

But Miu was firm.

(Whisper) 0momo0: What?>?? Why?

(Whisper) Miu: I don’t know how long you’ve been holding out here

(Whisper) Miu: but has it not occurred to you that the WAVE isn’t ending?

Standing shoulder to shoulder beside Miu, Mo Yeonhoo looked down at the ground.

How long had it been since the WAVE started? He did not know the exact time, but at least five minutes had passed....

Now that he mentions it, this WAVE does feel weirdly long.

He had been too out of his mind earlier to really notice, but thinking about it now, it was strange.

He had held out pretty well at the start, so by this point, the number of zombies should have gone down somewhat.

But there are still so many zombies.

Miu continued chatting calmly.

(Whisper) Miu: Abnormal-weather WAVEs don’t occur naturally

(Whisper) Miu: They don’t disappear unless you kill every zombie that gathered here

The WAVE... had not occurred naturally?

(Whisper) Miu: They’re very different from regular WAVEs

Mo Yeonhoo could not understand what he meant, but judging by Miu’s reaction, this situation was definitely not normal. In the meantime, Miu changed weapons.

Clack. Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

Now holding an automatic rifle, he started spraying rapidly at the approaching zombies.

(Whisper) Miu: Let’s get out first

(Whisper) Miu: We’re going out that way

Miu spoke while pinging the left side.

(Whisper) 0momo0: That way????????

When Mo Yeonhoo saw the spot Miu was pointing at, he could not believe it.

Maybe the zombies had smashed through while coming in, because there was a huge hole in the first floor.

(Whisper) 0momo0: they’re basically a whole club over there right now???

(Whisper) 0momo0: feels like we’re gonna get bounced at the door???;;

At the moment, it was their only exit, but it was also where the zombies were thickest.

And Miu was saying they were going out through there!

(Whisper) 0momo0: wouldn’t it be better to go up and escape

(Whisper) 0momo0: Ah;

Mo Yeonhoo looked up and groaned.

It must’ve ended up like that because of the special zombies....

He had definitely built stairs so they could escape upward if the worst happened, but they were smashed, maybe because several special zombies had come in from above.

Still, Miu could get out if he rode the drone.

Mo Yeonhoo, as a (Necromancer), could not.

(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu

The spot Miu had pinged was crawling with zombies, so the risk was too high. If they went together, there was a very good chance they would die for nothing, so Mo Yeonhoo pinged upward.

(Whisper) 0momo0: You shouldn’t go there

(Whisper) 0momo0: You can get out through here!!!!!!

His baby rabbit had to survive, at least.

Miu did glance once at the place Mo Yeonhoo marked, but he did not answer. He only kept knocking back the incoming zombies, shooting and shooting again.

(Whisper) 0momo0: Miu???

(Whisper) 0momo0: Miuuu???

(Whisper) 0momo0: um???;;..

Why wasn’t he leaving?

No matter how much Mo Yeonhoo called him, there was no response. In the end, Mo Yeonhoo, who had been watching from beside him, also took out his gun and started shooting the zombies.

(Whisper) 0momo0: hurry and get out through the roof!!

(Whisper) 0momo0: I can just die and revive!!

Of course, he said it again while shooting, but Miu gave no answer. Since Miu stayed silent for a long while and focused only on firing, Mo Yeonhoo stuck close beside him, shooting and using skills in repetition.

With one more person added, dealing with the zombies became far easier than before.

Wow, he’s seriously good at shooting.

And Miu was not just any user. Even while killing the zombies, Mo Yeonhoo could not help admiring his skill. Sometimes he even forgot to pull the trigger and just stared blankly.

But separate from that, the situation was not getting better. What did it matter how well they shot? The side they had to exit through was still crawling with zombies.

Then Miu pinged again.

(Whisper) Miu: Done mentally preparing?

(Whisper) 0momo0: Mentally preparing???

(Whisper) Miu: We’re breaking through, so I’ll give orders

(Whisper) 0momo0: What?

Mo Yeonhoo blinked.

(Whisper) 0momo0: What kind of orders can you give here

(Whisper) Miu: I said we’re going out that way

(Whisper) 0momo0: No; that doesn’t make sense

(Whisper) 0momo0: Then we’ll both die

(Whisper) 0momo0: I told you I can just die and revive???

He was still holding onto that ridiculous plan?

(Whisper) 0momo0: I’ll hold them off here!!

(Whisper) 0momo0: You can go up like you did on the drone earlier, make one ladder, and run away somewhere without zombies

My beloved baby rabbit just needs to ride the drone to the roof and escape!

When Mo Yeonhoo urged him on by pinging several times, Miu even stopped shooting and stared at him for a moment.

(Whisper) Miu: You’re saying you’ll die?

At the answer that finally came, Mo Yeonhoo beamed.

(Whisper) 0momo0: Yes!!! I’m fine!! Totally okay

(Whisper) Miu: You’re fine?

(Whisper) 0momo0: Yes yes it’s good it’s good I’m really good!! Anyway I’ll buy time here!!!!

(Whisper) 0momo0: Hurry and leave!!!

(Whisper) 0momo0: Ladies first!!!!! Hurry hurry!!!

(Whisper) Miu: You

Just when Mo Yeonhoo was excitedly typing away, thinking Miu had finally decided to listen to him—

(Whisper) Miu: Why are you going this far?

Mo Yeonhoo blinked.

(Whisper) 0momo0: Huh??

(Whisper) Miu: I’ve been wondering since earlier. Why did you protect me?

Miu continued pressing him, undeterred by 0momo0’s blank chat.

(Whisper) Miu: Even after I made a whole scene telling you to fuck off because you were a spy

(Whisper) Miu: Even after I said every shitty thing you wouldn’t want to hear

(Whisper) Miu: I don’t understand why you’d try to save me, even if it means dying instead

Bang, bang!

Miu blew off the heads of the approaching zombies in one smooth motion.

(Whisper) Miu: These things aren’t easy either

(Whisper) Miu: and it doesn’t look like you spent only a little money

Even while typing, pressing the attack key came as naturally to him as breathing. Mo Yeonhoo, admiring that completely different level of skill, stared blankly at the zombies collapsing to the floor in an instant. Then Miu came right up in front of him.

(Whisper) Miu: What’s the real reason?
