Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Jin-woo glanced away from Mai-sun, and after staring at his second-half-eaten sandwich for a moment he took a bite, but not before saying.

"She's the only one in the world who can create a cure, she's safe so long as that's the case."

Upon hearing that, Mai-sun's expression flickered before she asked softly.

"So, you're saying there's a chance of her being in danger after she creates a cure?"

"Damn, she's sharp."

Seong suddenly commented from the side.

Jin-woo didn't respond to Mai-sun as he was too busy eating his sandwich.

However, to Mai-sun, it looked like he was using this as an excuse to not answer the question.

Indeed, Jin-woo deliberately chose to not answer and remained silent on the matter.

This silence persisted with the only sound coming from the female anchor who was continuing to report on the reactions of the countries overseas to the virus.

But Jin-woo was momentarily unable to focus on her and was instead reflecting on the current situation. He had created a temporary safe haven in the midst of a storm, but when they eventually leave, they would be confronted with everything they had been shielded from.

Though Jin-woo felt he was exempt from this as he knew more than what the others and even this female news anchor did. But it was because of this that he was sometimes forced to remain silent when faced with inquiries.

First, it was Seo-joon, now it was Mai-sun, but as time goes on the number will only increase more and more.

As the storm raged outside, in this silent safe-heaven, Jin-woo's silence might be even louder.

"Jin! Do you want to play?"

A voice suddenly interrupted Jin-woo's thoughts and he looked up to see Jeon-sok and a few youths. They approached and explained they were looking for more people to play video games with, and when they saw him with a phone, they decided to have him join.

"Sure, but I might not have the game on my phone."

"No problem, no problem, you can download it for free on Steam."

The person leading this group of youths and more eager to have Jin-woo join was Jeon-sok.

Jin-woo looked at him and tilted his head.

"Steam? What's that?"

Jeon-sok upon hearing this froze, and he couldn't help but look at Jin-woo with a blank expression. The other youths gave Jin-woo similar looks as well.

Without a word, Jeon-sok took Jin-woo's phone to create a Steam account and download the game they were playing. Simultaneously, he explained that Steam was essentially an online store where people could freely download or buy video games.

"The game we're playing is sort of like CS, but with crappy graphics."

Jeon-sok said as he handed the phone back to Jin-woo.

"CS?"

"It means counter strike, have you never heard of it before?"

Jin-woo shook his head.

"Boss Jin, don't you play games?"

"Yeah, I thought Boss Jin would be someone who played these types of games because of how good you are with guns."

The other boys all voiced their surprise when they realized Jin-woo's knowledge of games was practically zero.

"I only read webcomics on my phone. I was always busy with my clubs, so I never had time for games. But I can learn now, so tell me how to play this game."

"It's easy! Here let me explain. The right control right here is for moving the player and the left is for moving his vision. That button here is for shooting, and this is for reloading. You can also switch guns if you click this button."

Jeon-sok happily took on the role of explaining the game's mechanics to Jin-woo. After making sure Jin-woo understood he added.

"We're playing a team battle, so we're facing off against other people online and if we wipe them out, we win."

Jin-woo nodded, getting an idea of the game. Though despite understanding the game's mechanics his playing was horrendous, and this was obvious after a few games.

"No, Jin, that's me!"

Jeon-sok yelled, then looked at Jin-woo with an exasperated expression. This was the eighth time that Jin-woo had killed someone from their party with this one being the third time he had killed him.

Jeon-sok even started to wonder to himself if Jin-woo was doing this on purpose. Was he trolling them?

"Sorry, sorry."

Jin-woo apologized with a forced smile on his face, and Jeon-sok had to swallow his emotions. If it was someone else, he and the others would have cursed the person for being a complete noob who was holding them back before booting them off the team.

"Look, I'll explain it again. The enemies have red arrows over their heads, and we have blue arrows over ours, okay? "

"Sorry, it's just that I get nervous when I see someone, and I subconsciously shoot without thinking."

Jeon-sok and the other the seven youths glanced at the gun tucked in Jin-woo's waist and gulped nervously. Thankfully, he was only like this in a game.

"Jin, just focus on the color of the arrows and match it to our position."

"Hm, I got it, I got it.

Jin-woo said as he nodded his head with a serious expression on his face. However, Jeon-sok felt uneasy as this was Jin-woo's exact response the previous seven times.

Another match started, and just as Jeon-sok suspected, Jin-woo murdered his own teammates yet again.

However, this time neither Jeon-sok nor the other seven youths cursed Jin-woo in their hearts. Instead, they stared at him with utter disbelief on their faces.

The reason was that during their final attack against their enemy, there was a scuffle, and amid everything, Jin-woo accurately headshot three people back-to-back.

Two of those people were Jeon-sok and another youth from their team, while the last one was from the opposing team. But the problem was, after Jin-woo killed Jeon-sok and the other youth, he was the only one remaining from their team while the enemy still had three people.

Jeon-sok then leaned over to watch as Jin-woo headshot one of those three who was harmlessly peeking out from behind a tree but was then suddenly shot from the back by an ambush.

Suddenly, Jeon-sok and the others recalled that despite Jin-woo's crappy play, each time he killed them or anyone else it was always a headshot.

Jeon-sok thought for a moment then suggested.

"Why don't we play a game between us?"

Jin-woo naturally didn't object to this, and the others didn't as well, but a strange look was in their eyes.

"We'll do a timer battle royal where the person who scores the most kills for twenty minutes wins."

Jeon-sok explained to Jin-woo before the match between the nine of them started.

However, as the twenty minutes slowly drained away, the expressions on Jeon-sok and the other seven youths' faces increasingly turned more and more dumbfounded.

When the twenty minutes were finally up, everyone looked at Jin-woo's stats in mute silence.

First place: Jin_101

Kills: 34

Headshots: 34

Second Place: Jeon69

Kills: 12

Headshots: 2

They especially looked at the kills-to-headshot ratio when compared to Jeon-sok who was in second place, and they couldn't help but have their eyes shine when they turn to stare at Jin-woo.

Jeon-sok reacted quickly and organized another team match against online players where he devised a strategy with Jin-woo as the center.

To put the plan simply, they just stand back and send Jin-woo to wreak havoc on the enemy. After he was killed, they would step through his trail of destruction to avenge him.

This plan worked effectively, and everyone decided to shift the games from unrated to rated so they could increase their ranks.

After their sixth rated-game winning streak, Jeon-sok couldn't help but flung his head back and let out a peal of maniacal laughter.

He might have lost it for a moment as he slapped Jin-woo on his left shoulder and said.

"Jin, you need to keep this up. Our lives depend on it!"

Jin-woo looked at Jeon-sok and saw his intense gaze, he paused and then forced a smile. He didn't get it but still nodded. However, Jeon-sok's hit caused a slight flare-up in his shoulder injury, and he winced before rolling his shoulder.

"Oh, sorry."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jeon-sok finally snapped out of it when he saw this, but his friends upon seeing Jin-woo rubbing his shoulders almost fainted.

A youth next to Jeon-sok slapped him over his head and raged.

"Idiot, if you injure Boss Jin, how is he going to carry- I mean support us?"

"It was an accident; I didn't mean it."

Jeon-sok rubbed his head and turned to give Jin-woo an apologetic look.

However, Jin-woo smiled and said.

"I'm fine, I can still play."

Jeon-sok and the others got excited when they heard that, but just as they were about to start up another team match, a voice was suddenly heard saying.

"How about playing against us?"

Jin-woo and the others turned to the voice, only to see Ye-jun walking over with eight or so other students from Class 1A following behind him.

"What kind of game is he trying to play now?"

Seong immediately said while glaring at Ye-jun.

Jin-woo also looked at Ye-jun with a frown and given the expressions on Jeon-sok and the other seven youths' faces, he and Seong weren't the only ones who didn't welcome these people's presence.
