Hiding a Logistics Center in the Apocalypse – Part 3
(Apocalypse of the Nuclear Family (3))
After finishing my preparations, I went back outside.
The first thing I did was to remove the axe from the orc's head.
Push!
Thick green blood gushed out.
He swung the axe and cleaned up the remaining blood.
“This guy has a magic stone in his body?”
[Yes, it is usually located near the heart.]
Just as I was about to seriously tear open the bastard's chest, I remembered something I had left behind.
“Oh, that’s right. A dagger.”
He had an axe in his hand, but it didn't look very useful for slaughtering.
I'll do it if I want to, but there will be daggers piled up in the subspace anyway.
Pax gave me some new information while I was absent-minded.
[You can ship products right here without having to enter the subspace.]
"okay?"
That was really good news.
There is no need to go back and forth between portals for one inconvenient item.
But there were limitations.
[However, shipment is only possible once every 30 seconds.]
“It’s a really vague and uncomfortable number.”
It wasn't a long time, but it seemed a bit annoying to take out several types of items at once.
Besides, aren't you a Korean who likes to hurry quickly?
If a web page loads every 30 seconds, I'm going to get so frustrated I might as well smash my monitor.
[You can shorten the shipping time by strengthening your skills.]
“Oh, that was a skill?”
[Yes, you can just think of the registered product and say 'shipment'.]
“That’s right… Then, can you show me some useful daggers?”
Tiring!
Soon Pax brought up the list.
The same screen you see on the monitor at the picking station.
I've set the product page to 'highest price first'.
I don't know, but the more expensive one probably has better performance.
The one I chose was a jungle sword with a black and green handle and a sharp silver blade.
The back of the blade was serrated for cutting wood.
[Marine Force Kukri Jungle is 40cm and costs 211,120 won.]
[If you want to ship, please say 'ship'.]
“Let’s see… Okay, shipping.”
Wheeing!
In the blink of an eye, a tiny portal appeared at my fingertips.
The shipment was made immediately.
And then,
Swoosh- Taang!
In an instant, I was thrown to the ground.
It came out so quickly that the dagger almost pierced through the packaging box.
I grumbled as I finished unwrapping the tattered packaging.
“···What’s so fast?”
[The default shipping speed is 60 km/h.]
[You can adjust the speed if you want.]
Surprisingly, detailed settings were possible.
That being said, I have one question that I am curious about.
“···Is it possible to do it faster than this?”
[Currently, the maximum speed is only 75 km/h. To go beyond that, you need to strengthen your skills.]
This time, the story of reinforcement came up again.
“How to strengthen?”
[You can use a magic stone.]
“I see.”
From facility maintenance costs to skill enhancement.
It was a magic stone with many uses.
First, I decided to clean up the orcs in front of me.
Phew!
Stabbed the center of the orc's chest.
As the flesh was torn apart, the magic stone embedded in the center of the torso emitted a soft light.
He stabbed the dagger diagonally and knocked away the embedded magic stone.
“I got another one.”
[Would you like to use it for center power costs?]

“Let’s think about that later. We have one day. And there’s one more thing I’d like to ask you…”
[How may I help you?]
“Can you unpack it and send it to me when it ships?”
He showed Pax a sharp dagger and an axe.
I just checked it a little while ago.
That using the 'shipping' skill in subspace to throw objects is much more powerful than throwing them myself.
I was thinking of using this 'shipping' skill as a full-fledged attack skill.
Fortunately, AI Pax’s answer was positive.
[It is possible. I will include it in the order request.]
I went one step further.
The dagger was held upright, and the axe was also shown with the blade pointing forward at an angle.
“And at exactly this angle, in this direction. Is that possible?”
[I will also include that in the order request.]
"good."
The preparations are complete.
The area around the logistics center was as quiet as a mouse.
Weeeee-
I rode up a nearby mountain path, listening to the soft sound of an electric bike.
It was about 200 meters away from the disappeared logistics center.
Arriving at a suitable location, I stood in front of a large zelkova tree and recalled the jungle map from earlier.
The shipping speed was set to a maximum speed of 75 km/h.
And shouted.
"shipment."
Swish!
A sharp blade was shot,
grasp!
Stuck in the middle of a zelkova tree.
Even at first glance, it looks like we've gone into quite a bit.
Taang!
The axe that was shot a moment later was the same.
Perhaps because of its weight, it had even greater destructive power than the blade.
In many ways, the experiment was a success.
A subspace where you can fire an axe or dagger like a missile once every 30 seconds.
Now that was my weapon.
I was about to get on my bike and take out my map book.
In the distance, trees swayed and birds flew up.
I listened.
“···A scream?”
I pedaled quickly.
***
“Ugh… gasp”
Two men in gray uniforms ran down the mountain path.
Likewise, two orcs were chasing them.
“fu*k…! fu*k…!”
One of them is Lee Yong-soo.
It seemed like foam was about to burst out of his mouth.
“Why does this happen···”
It was three days ago.
The destruction happened overnight.
Suddenly, an urgent news report came on TV.
Unidentified monsters are appearing simultaneously all over the country.
There are scenes of people running around in panic, scenes of people being crushed by crowds and turned black, and scenes of people covered in blood by monsters.
Destruction appeared to everyone in many different forms.
But that was all the information given.
This is because communications such as TV, radio, and the Internet were all paralyzed.
Moreover, the news agencies and broadcasting stations are the ones that say they will endure even if war breaks out.
Yongsu Lee couldn't understand the current situation at all.
News spread that armed soldiers were occasionally seen.
There was also news that they were all found dead, crushed to death on the asphalt.
It was not difficult to predict the fate of the world.
A return to a pre-historical past when survival was the first principle.
In an instant, civilization was turned into ruins.
Lee Yong-soo bit his lips tightly.
“If only I were a little stronger···”
What was given was not only destruction.
Because some chosen people suddenly awakened to supernatural abilities.
Yongsu Lee was also lucky enough to become an Awakened One, but unfortunately, he did not gain the ability to kill orcs.
In the face of great destruction, he was nothing more than a helpless ant.
He ran desperately with all his might,
“Please··· Please···”
The giant shadow was much faster than that.
“···”
I looked back without thinking.
What he saw was,
“······!”
It was despair.
A giant orc was approaching.
Swish.
My legs feel weak.
It was a bridge that had already passed its limit several times.
“···”
Lee Yong-soo closed his eyes.
And he calmly accepted his fate.
like that,
Paaak!
I heard a sound.
"···uh?"
It wasn't his own head that exploded.
Thud, the one who fell down instead was the vicious orc that had been chasing him.
There was a black axe stuck in the bastard's head.
It was just a camping axe used for chopping firewood, but what really surprised Yongsu was something else.
'···Your head just exploded?'
The axe struck hard and shattered the orc's skull.
When I turned my head, I saw a man taking his hand off the mulch about 10 meters away.
It was a posture that clearly showed that he had just finished throwing.
Lee Yong-soo shut his mouth tightly.
'What power···?'
Lee Yong-soo looked around again.
It wasn't just him who was being chased, and it wasn't just one orc either.
As expected, I saw my colleague Choi Byeong-cheol coming down the slope from the opposite side.
An orc was following closely behind him.
“···Mr. Choi!”
Just as I was stamping my feet, I saw the man who had thrown the axe moving again.
Lee Yong-soo couldn't help but be surprised once again.
'···You're riding a bike···?'
It was hard to imagine him throwing an axe while riding a bicycle, wondering if he was doing some kind of trick.
Lee Yong-soo's gaze continued to follow him,
'···I can't see it.'
It was hidden by the trees and could no longer be seen.
There was no choice but to desperately pray that the man who appeared would save Choi Byeong-cheol.
He put his hands together,
grasp!
The prayer worked.
Because before long, the head of the orc that was chasing his colleague Choi exploded.
“What the heck······”
The man was still riding his bike.
***
Phew!
He stabbed the dagger into the orc's corpse.
No matter what, I had to get the magic stone first.
Two, including the one I just packed.
If you include the ones I picked up in front of the subspace portal, I've collected three so far.
At first glance, it was something that helped me, but I also needed information.
What the hell is going on now, why are these monsters roaming around?
I felt like they knew a little more than I did, having been locked in a logistics center for three days.
But, whether they knew my feelings or not, they kept bowing their heads and expressing their gratitude.
“Thank you… Thank you. I survived thanks to you.”
Moreover, it seemed like there was some misunderstanding.
“You must be a soldier. Judging from your attire… you don’t seem to be an ordinary soldier. Are you perhaps a special forces unit? How can you ride a bicycle and wield an axe like that…?”
He was looking at the combat vest I was wearing.
I waved my hand.
“No. It hasn’t been that long since I was discharged from the military, but…”
“Ah, as expected!”
The man's eyes shone even brighter.
No, that's not true.
“What a stroke of luck. I thought we were the only people around here.”
“Are you two all there are?”
Even though it wasn't a residential area, the logistics complex overlooking it was extremely desolate.
Lee Yong-soo and Choi Byeong-cheol, the two men, shook their heads.
“There are more people gathered in Building E. There are about fifteen of them… They are all isolated.”
“Isolation?”
Lee Yong-soo explained the situation.
“Yes, that’s the current situation. Originally, the logistics complex here was blocked off from the east and north… and now the Yeongdong Expressway is half-destructed. We were also looking for other routes that cars could travel.”
Get out of the area by car.
It was something I needed to do too.
Of course, it won't be easy to go to Gangnam by bike.
Lee Yong-soo suggested it.
“Would you like to go with me? I can probably bring you some simple snacks.”
Without hesitation, I got up.
I didn't need anything like a snack, but we were all people with the same goal.
You will also be able to get a general idea of what the surrounding area is like.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Last 3 days.
It seems I wasn't the only one trapped.
