The Devouring Genius of a Destroyed World

On the way to Seogang-dong.

Seongho turned around as he rummaged through the pocket of his coat.

"Im Chan, I need to give this to the kid..."

*Growwww!*

But before Seongho could finish his sentence, the sound of a zombie's cry echoed.

Im Chan, who had been pushing another bicycle, and even Im Ji-hyo, who had been sitting in the back seat of his bike, were startled.

On the other hand, Seongho stopped his bicycle, thinking to himself that this worked out well.

*’The timing is perfect.’*

Seongho pulled out a necklace from his pocket and put it around his neck.

**[Sometimes Like a Zombie]**
- While this item is active, it mimics the presence of a zombie, making it undetectable by zombies.
- Activation Time: 100:00:00

It was an item he had received after killing Go Ji-hoon, and its function was exactly what he had confirmed through the Pioneer’s Cradle in advance.

He hadn’t known about the activation time, but 100 hours wasn’t exactly short.

The moment Seongho put the necklace on and grabbed the pendant in his hand...

The zombie, which had only been making noise up until then, finally appeared from the alley.

*‘Just one?’*

It was the perfect timing to test the item's performance without worrying about anything else.

The zombie was charging directly toward Seongho, who was at the front of the group.

When the zombie was about to get within reach, Seongho pressed the gem at the center of the necklace.

*Gwoooah...?!*

Seongho, who never expected to see the zombie’s expression filled with confusion, let out a small laugh.

Meanwhile, thanks to the item’s effect, the zombie’s head turned to the side, losing its target.

The new target was now Im Chan and his daughter, Ji-hyo, who were behind Seongho.

In fact, the zombie attempted to pass by Seongho entirely, as if he wasn’t even there.

Of course, before it could go too far, Seongho grabbed its neck.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Seongho turned off the necklace's function.
