Became A Necromancer In a Zombie World

"Did a vehicle arrive?"

"Yes, one suddenly came in, but it's not one of ours."

Upon hearing the report from Private Yu Jae-wook, Captain Kang Hae-seok immediately stood up and headed to the second floor.

Cha Su-a followed behind him.

'...Wow, I'm so damn jealous.'

Yu Jae-wook licked his lips as he watched Cha Su-a's retreating figure.

Her large breasts, slender waist, and ample hips.

And her face was among the top 10% of beauties in the Republic of Korea.

The thick smell emanating from Captain Kang Hae-seok's room made it obvious what they had been doing just moments before.

Moreover, he saw a slight liquid dripping down from under Cha Su-a's skirt.

Gulp.

'Fuck, I'll get a piece of that someday.'

Imagining Cha Su-a's half-naked body, Private Yu Jae-wook followed the two.

"So, who is it?"

"We haven't identified them yet."

Upon arriving at the lounge on the second floor, Kang Hae-seok looked down at the man beside the van through a large window.

Two soldiers were aiming their guns at the man, keeping him in place.

The soldiers and the man were in a standoff with the dormitory gate's barricade between them.

Suddenly, the mysterious man looked up and met Kang Hae-seok's gaze through the window.

Sunglasses, mask, hood, and a baseball cap pulled low over his face.

His face was completely obscured.

'Thorough guy.'

For some reason, even his skin was barely visible.

It seemed like he didn't want his identity known at all.

━Static

"There must be a purpose. Find out what it is."

Captain Kang Hae-seok relayed orders to the personnel on the first floor via radio.

Thump, thump.

Soon, a soldier waiting in the first-floor lobby rushed out to join the two at the gate.

After a brief exchange, the mysterious man handed an envelope to the soldier without much conversation.

The soldier, upon checking the contents, looked shocked and turned to Kang Hae-seok.

Without even using the radio, he ran back to the second floor.

"What's going on?"

"You, you should see this for yourself!"

What could possibly cause such a fuss?

Even Cha Su-a, curious about the envelope's contents, peeked over Kang Hae-seok's shoulder.

Rustle.

Opening the black envelope, the contents were revealed:

'...This, this is!'

Kang Hae-seok and Cha Su-a froze upon seeing what was inside.

It was something unimaginable in the current situation.

A pack of fresh pork belly, along with fresh vegetables for wrapping, dipping sauce, and salt.

Lastly, a folded white piece of paper was visible.

'...A letter?'

Kang Hae-seok quickly closed the envelope to prevent others from seeing and pulled out the letter to read.

"Ha, what a lunatic."

"Why, what's wrong?"

Corporal Ju Tae-eun, who had only seen the contents downstairs, couldn't contain his curiosity and questioned Kang Hae-seok.

But Kang Hae-seok, without answering, gave Ju Tae-eun an order.

"Send him back for now. Tell him we'll decide after checking the goods when he returns."

"...Yes, sir!"

With a stern expression, Ju Tae-eun responded to Kang Hae-seok's order and headed back downstairs.

Kang Hae-seok reviewed the letter's content again.

It read:

[Trade Proposal.

Provision: A week's worth of food for your group.

Purchase: One week's rental of a female member.

If you agree, I'll bring the goods in an hour.

P.S. The pork belly is complimentary.

If you accept the deal, I'll bring more next time.]

Kang Hae-seok couldn't help but scoff at the content of the letter.

'A madman desperate for a woman, selling food?'

Despite the world being overrun by zombies and normal thought being hard to come by, food was a precious resource tied directly to life.

And a week's worth for the dormitory?

That amount could sustain one person for several months.

Perhaps it was just a bluff.

Thus, he decided to send the man away first and check the quantity before deciding.

'But this pork belly...'

Though he hadn't checked it properly, the accompanying vegetables were definitely fresh.

And the state of the pork belly in the plastic pack looked incredibly fresh to the eye.

'However he got it, this isn't a bad deal for me.'

Initially suspecting it might be reconnaissance from another lawless group, but after reading the letter, it was clear the man was just a survivor desperate for female companionship.

Kang Hae-seok, understanding men's desires well, knew what people could do when driven by lust, especially in an all-male military setting where incidents related to sexual desire were rampant.

Thus, he believed the man's desire for a woman was genuine.

'First, let's see what he brings.'

A week's worth of food for the group and a woman.

There were plenty of useless women in the dormitory.

For Kang Hae-seok, it was a deal with no downside.

'Whether he tortures her or gets her pregnant for a week, it's none of my business.'

To him, women were only useful for satisfying the sexual needs of Cha Su-a and the soldiers.

The rest were burdens, hard to use even for labor.

If he could kill them off, he could redirect civilian anger towards the van's man and reduce the number of useless mouths.

And then, exactly an hour later.

The van returned to the dormitory.

Upon receiving the soldier's report, Kang Hae-seok stood in the lounge on the second floor, looking out the window at the man.

He was surprised to see the man carrying boxes out of the vehicle.

━Static.

"Bring him up too."

With a smile, Kang Hae-seok ordered over the radio.

His eyes gleamed with desire.

'Looks like a normal guy on the outside.'

Soon after, guided by a soldier, the mysterious man ascended to the lounge on the second floor.

Kang Hae-seok faced him.

He seemed average in height and weight, but his face was completely hidden by a hat, mask, and sunglasses.

"Hey, did you check the contents?"

"Yes, it's even more generous than promised."

At Private Kim Seok-ho's response, Kang Hae-seok laughed in disbelief.

'Even more than promised?'

And there, in the corner of one box, was a black envelope.

Kang Hae-seok, having checked the pork belly earlier, knew it was prepared for him.

Having confirmed the letter's contents weren't a bluff, Kang Hae-seok asked the mysterious man, "Thanks for offering this trade. But I'm curious... Where did you get all this?"

No matter how he looked, it didn't seem like something scavenged from exploration.

Such quantities would be impossible without raiding a place with a large stockpile.

Moreover, fresh pork belly.

The power had been out for ages, yet there was fresh pork belly.

If not directly slaughtered, obtaining such pork belly was unthinkable.

Despite many questions, the man remained silent.

"Secret?"

"..."

'Well, I wouldn't answer either if it were me.'

If the location was known, this group with such firepower wouldn't sit still.

The man was just a fool risking his life for lust.

But he wasn't stupid enough to lose his cards.

"Then, let me ask another question."

Swoosh.

As Kang Hae-seok raised his hand, the soldiers around aimed their guns at the mysterious man.

"Did you not consider we might just take the goods without agreeing to the trade?"

It was a threat.

Bullets were also a precious resource.

He wouldn't kill the man just for this.

Though he could kill him with a rifle butt to the head and take the goods, that wasn't his primary concern.

The most important thing was the man's reaction.

'...Letter?'

Instead of a voice, the man silently handed over a white piece of paper.

It was the same type of paper Kang Hae-seok had read an hour ago.

Silently, Kang Hae-seok unfolded it.

[I will trade again in a week.]

A single line.

The letter contained just one simple line.

But reading it, Kang Hae-seok smiled with satisfaction.

That single line held much meaning.

'If we kill him now, the rest of the food is gone, huh?'

At Kang Hae-seok's gesture, the soldiers lowered their weapons.

And he extended his hand to the lust-crazed but clever man, signifying the acceptance of the trade.

The silent man immediately shook his hand.

Kang Hae-seok then gestured behind him.

"Then, we'll gratefully accept the goods. ...Now, it's your turn. Choose what you want."

His gesture led to where Kang Hae-seok had prepped several women.

Unsure why they were called, the women stood there, dazed by Kang Hae-seok's orders.

After a brief look, the man slowly raised his hand and pointed with his index finger.

He pointed directly at Oh Na-yeon.

"Give me her."

"Yes, sir."

"Uh, uh? Why, why are you doing this? Hey! Wait, wait! Ji-ho, Ji-ho!!"

At Kang Hae-seok's brief command, two soldiers grabbed Oh Na-yeon's arms and pulled her away.

Startled by the sudden restraint, Oh Na-yeon called out to her boyfriend.

"Na, Na-yeon!! You bastards! What are you doing!!"

Watching from afar, Han Ji-ho, in a fit of rage, charged at the soldiers.

Thump.

"Ugh...!"

But another soldier struck him in the stomach with a rifle butt, causing him to collapse immediately.

"Ji, Ji-ho!! Sob, Ji-ho!!"

"Na, Na-yeon..."

Seeing her boyfriend helpless, Oh Na-yeon's face was filled with despair as tears streamed down.

"Ah, they're a couple. Exciting, isn't it?"

Kang Hae-seok chuckled, speaking to the trader.

The mysterious man silently gave a thumbs up.

"This bastard, who's he doing this for? How dare he show his teeth?!"

Thump, thump.

"Ugh! Ahh! Stop...! Please stop...!"

Finally, Han Ji-ho, trying to save his girlfriend, was beaten down by the soldier who had stopped him.

"Nooo!! Help!! Please, someone help!!"

Like a cow being led to slaughter, Oh Na-yeon was dragged behind the mysterious man.

'Good trade.'

Kang Hae-seok, enjoying the sight, gestured to another soldier nearby as the mysterious man descended the stairs.

"Send two men. Find out where he keeps his food."

"Yes, sir."

Of course, Kang Hae-seok had no intention of letting the man go, knowing there was more food to be had.

In this world without a country or law to protect them, taking what one wanted through plunder had become the norm.

'Looks like my luck's holding up.'

Kang Hae-seok's eyes glinted with anticipation of the vast resources he would soon obtain.

'I knew they'd follow.'

I glanced at the two soldiers following us through the rearview mirror.

Instead of noisy motorcycles, they were chasing us on electric bikes with their limiters removed.

'Always kept the vehicle's battery charged to prevent this kind of thing, but I guess this is why.'

I had anticipated Kang Hae-seok would send someone to follow.

Had I not, I wouldn't have noticed these two.

But all of this was part of the plan.

"Just take a nap for now. I'll make it up to you when we get back."

"Mmmph! Mmmph!"

I leered at Oh Na-yeon, gagged and bound in the passenger seat, through my sunglasses.

'Fuck, this is getting me hard.'

At first, I was quite conflicted about who to choose.

Both the military group and the civilian group were assholes to me.

I was thinking of how to get the most out of this while screwing them over.

Then, the first woman I noticed.

Oh Na-yeon.

'Clearly Han Ji-ho's girlfriend, right?'

As a slave in the group, I knew a lot about the group members' situations.

Especially, Han Ji-ho's troubles with his girlfriend not putting out.

'I can't wait to see Han Ji-ho's reaction after I've had my fun.'

I raised the corners of my mouth under my mask, my erection growing.

'Anyway, let's deal with those guys first.'

The two soldiers on electric bikes, chasing us hard.

I had anticipated their pursuit.

No, it was part of the plan.

I drove safely to make it easier for them to follow while glancing at the quest window in the corner of my vision.

[Main Quest – 1
