[…I thought I would die alone if the vaccine wasn’t found by the end….]

Anna ended up getting killed by my Moon Blade.

“Hahaha….”

Honestly, it felt a bit excessive to kill her that way…

[But it shouldn’t be hidden.]

[Hmm, I messed up on that one.]

The other members were in the middle of cornering Anna.

Proving that the dignity of the eldest sister had long since vanished, Anna had become a punching bag.

Of course, hiding the fact that I was infected during a zombie apocalypse deserved a beating…

[No… I was just worried you’d all wander around looking for the vaccine for no reason.]

…True, but I guess Anna’s actions stemmed from concern.

– Ah…

– I don’t have any moneyㅠㅜ

– Miro didn’t know anything like that…

[So that’s how it was….]

[For us….]

The atmosphere grew solemn at Anna’s words.

It seemed everyone was moved by her thoughtfulness.

Just when I thought the mood was warming up…

[But wait, we’re the ones? It was Miro who killed her.]

“Huh?”

Loa’s casual comment changed the atmosphere.

[…Yeah, right?]

[Miro was at fault.]

[Really sorry.]

This time, the target shifted from Anna to me.

…These indecisive people.

As long as they can shift the blame, everything is fine?

“Wait a minute. I’m the hero of our shelter. If this were a drama, Anna would be the sweet potato, and I’d be the soda!”

– Hmm.. I agree.

– I guess being a main actor makes you better at this haha.

– But why is Sera eating sweet potatoes??

[Woah… How can you say that so confidently?]

[Now that I think about it, it does seem right….]

[Maybe? If you think about it, it’s Anna who hid it that’s bad.]

[Hey, everyone? You were just backing me up a while ago.]

Anyway, after that, several political battles erupted.

In the end, it was decided that I, the one who killed Anna, should personally go respawn her.

…Everyone’s just being lazy about it.

What can I do?

It must be tough for Anna to revive in the nearby city on her own.

So, I hopped into Haru’s beloved vehicle….

[No way! Miro still isn’t good at driving!]

…Almost did, but after being scolded, I got into a vehicle that was okay to drive and went to pick up Anna.

It was easy to reach the nearby city.

Since I had already passed through the route, we soon arrived in the city.

[Here, here!]

Soon I spotted Anna, barehanded, being chased by a bunch of zombies.

…Seriously, how did it come to this?

Although she was in charge of cooking, she was a warrior who could take down multiple zombies alone.

Feeling a moment of pity as she ran away empty-handed, I parked the vehicle near her.

“Whoa, look at how many there are, get in quickly!”

[Huh!]

I briefly got out and cleared some zombies with my Moon Blade to make it easier for Anna to jump in.

[I’m in! Let’s go!]

In the meantime, Anna hopped into the passenger seat, and I jumped back into the car.

“Here we go.”

After successfully picking up Anna, we headed back to our base.

“Oh man, that was exhausting.”

– Seriously haha.

– You brought that on yourself haha.

– But we were going to die anyway since there was no vaccine.

“Right? I mean, there was no vaccine anyway. It’s better to die early…”

[Miro, stop! Up ahead!]

“What?”

While I was chatting with the viewers, Anna suddenly yelled to stop.

“What’s going on?”

I stopped as she said, but we had just passed by a horde of zombies, and now a bunch were charging in from behind.

I guessed that was what she wanted me to stop for… is something special happening?

[Look over there! Black protective suit!]

“What? A protective suit?”

Hearing Anna’s words, I got out of the car to look at the swarm of zombies, and sure enough, I saw a zombie in a black protective suit.

“Why? Is that a special zombie?”

[Yeah… it’s a vaccine zombie.]

“What?”

– Hahahahaha.

– No way, seriously?

– Why does it have to show up now?

…Is that really a vaccine zombie?

“Well, it’s a relief it showed up now.”

[What?! All my skills are gone!]

…But I didn’t really mention that saying it was lucky to save the vaccine after dying.

**

After Anna’s death, various events occurred.

There was the time we all went farming, and a helicopter event drew the attention of nearby zombies, leading us to be surrounded.

Or the time when I was the only one left with a vaccine after we barely survived with wounds.

Or the time when Mile and Loa went out to farm but the engine of their car broke down, and we had to go rescue them.

That time, I took Haru’s precious vehicle, but with so many zombies, we ultimately had to sacrifice the car to escape together.

As time passed, we faced and overcame many situations, getting better with each encounter until we became real veterans.

However.

Today, everyone was tense right from the game’s morning.

[I’m going to make some repairs.]

[I’ll tidy up the garage.]

[Where did I put the bullets?]

The reason being that today marked quite a few survival days since the first wave of zombies was looming.

I heard this mode was added… what even is a mode that doesn’t exist in this game?

While the other members were nervous, I just focused on fixing and polishing my Moon Blade.

Just how many zombies have I taken down with this Moon Blade? By now, it feels like a part of me.

I might have more zombie kills than Loa at this point.

While the tactical Loa could only take down one at a time with her dagger in the city, Miro’s general tactics were to slice through groups of them.

[Miro, aren’t you going to prepare?]

While I was just polishing my Moon Blade without much thought, Loa asked.

“Heroes don’t need to prepare.”

[…I feel like I’ve heard that before. Who said it?]

“Someone from the common folk.”

– Common folk, huh;;

– Seriously, does the Supreme Overlord look like nothing to you?

– You’re just scraping the barrel here.

[Thank you, 1,000 won for the donation!]

Frustratingly enough; everyone else just trusts Miro without question haha.

– Hahaha.

– So true…

Well… it’s somewhat true, right?

In the end, I lost.

History is written by the victors.

[Still, take some guns with you. There might be a time you need them.]

“Got it.”

I accepted the gun Loa offered.

To be honest, no matter how much I swing my Moon Blade, it can’t match firing an assault rifle once.

Even though I say that, I’m not completely unskilled with guns; my proficiency has built up considerably.

Anyway, that night, as I finished preparing, a special icon appeared next to the clock.

“…Is it starting now?”

– It’s happening ㄷㄷㄷ

– Finally here.

– This is it, isn’t it? Haha.

The members had already all gone outside.

Each one stood at their designated places waiting.

After standing for a moment…

[Here they come.]

Loa, standing in the front, said just in time.

Oooh…

A low, ominous wailing echoed through the ground.

[Everyone, get your guns ready!]

[Let’s go!!]

The Celestial Realm members shouted energetically.

I drew my Moon Blade from behind as well.

– Hey, seriously haha.

– Didn’t I give you a gun?

– What are you going to do with that thing in this situation?

– This guy thinks he’s really Guan Yu.

“…Let’s go.”

Ignoring the chat, I took a step forward.

Bang!! Bang!!

Simultaneously, two massive gunshots rang out in the direction Loa was in.

[Shoot!!]

[Let’s kill them all!!]

Ratatatatatang!!

Bang!! Bang!!!

The sound of gunfire began to ring out from all sides.

Today is going to be a very long night.

**

[Help!! Help!!]

[I’m dying!!]

[Ahh!! Reload!]

[Save me!! Aaaaak!!]

…To sum it up, we got absolutely wrecked.

[Loa, why are there so many zombies!!]

Since the gunfire had started, Anna, who was hiding in the food storage, shouted.

– Hahahaha.

– It really was a nightmare, huh?

– Just how many zombies are there?

[…It’s six times the number of players.]

[This is unmanageable!!]

Sure enough, what Anna said was true; it was overwhelming.

At first, it seemed manageable, but what do we do if they keep coming in waves?

Even taking them out with guns has its limits.

I mean, they even added a special zombie mode, so zombies keep coming in groups of three or four.

On top of that, there are robust zombies that won’t go down.

“Seriously, are you all veterans? You’re getting pushed back.”

[Miro, you were the first to get pushed back!]

Just to clarify, I was the first one to retreat from the front lines.

The reason being, as I swung my Moon Blade, I tangled up and got stuck.

With five zombies barreling in from different angles, once I messed up, I couldn’t handle that many anymore, so I ran.

– Aah haha.

– This guy is really trolling today.

– You breaking our line did lead to our downfall.

“I apologize for that…”

I do feel bad about it.

However….

[No, it’s not just Miro; even a pro gamer couldn’t block them all.]

[Maybe we should’ve just set fire to the place.]

It’s true that my inability to maintain the front line accelerated the failure, but that wasn’t the main cause.

The problem was that there were just too many of them.

[Ah! I’m dying!]

[The storage is getting breached!]

[Where’s Loa! Help me!]

At this point, our defense line had crumbled, and the house we painstakingly built was now swarmed with zombies.

From the first to die, Mile, to Anna and Maho, who were caught after hiding, it’s just me, Haru, and Loa left now.

[Where is everyone!! Help me!!]

As Anna cried desperately, the zombies started creeping into the fortified storage.

Vroom, vroom.

[What, what is that?]

A powerful roar erupted.

[Those who want to live should get in!]

Then came Haru’s voice.

Right after that….

Kaboom!

Bang!!!

The garage door, which was about to be smashed down by zombies, burst open, and a Humvee charged out powerfully.

It was the vehicle Haru had recently cherished the most.

Having personally added armor, it could be considered our base’s strongest asset.

[You traitor!!]

[I’m sorry!! Those who want to live must survive!!]

Boom!

Sure, there were a lot of zombies, but the house had drawn their aggro.

With Haru’s skills, she successfully maneuvered out of the horde.

[That nasty girl!!]

[How can she be called a sister?!]

[Loa! Where’s Loa?! Help us!]

As Haru fled, the sisters from the Celestial Realm called for Loa urgently.

But…

[Loa is sitting right next to me.]

[Good luck.]

Loa was already in the passenger seat next to Haru.

…These people are starting to reap the consequences of their past betrayals.

– Hahaha.

– Shit;;

– Are these even the same members..?

– These people really have no friendship haha.

[Loa!! Haru!!]

[Miro, where are you?!]

Once Loa’s betrayal was confirmed, the two remaining sisters frantically called out for me to come back as well.

The situation must have been desperate.

After all, there are just so many zombies.

However….

“I’m in the back seat.”

Of course, I was just now getting into the vehicle.

After all, I had fled to the garage.

I jumped in right as Haru was preparing to run.

[Waaah!!]

[I won’t forget this!!]

– Hahaha.

– Shit haha.

– This is getting ridiculous haha.

– Betrayal is my fate haha.

And so, the complete chapter of Season 1 of the Celestial Realm survival game came to an end along with the destruction of the house we had built with effort.
