Chapter 4 - Apocalypse World (Part 4)

Stay calm, stay calm.

He just came to this world now, there's no way he would kill himself just to go back to his world.

Ahhhhh, but if someone could guarantee him that dying would make him return to his original world, he'd really want to just drop dead right now...

But there were no guarantees, and Kim Haru was afraid of death—he didn't want to die.

After screaming internally, he could only come to terms with reality.

The original body's abilities were weak.

It was impossible to head out alone and return alive, so he would need to team up with others to venture outside.

After a few trips with random teams, the original owner joined a fixed group.

And this team was the very culprit that eventually led to the original body's death!

This mission had initially been a simple routine task to clear out zombies.

The original Kim Haru had followed the group all the way to the outskirts of this abandoned town.

People in the apocalypse had one common sense rule: unless you're strong enough or well-prepared, never easily enter a town.

Towns now were filled with zombies, and no one could predict what level of danger lurked inside.

The original Kim Haru thought the team was about to head back, but someone in the group, daring beyond reason, chased a mutated zombie into the town.

This was all because the crystal core of a mutated zombie was incredibly rare and could sell for several times the price of a regular crystal core in the safe zone.

What happened next was unsurprising.

As soon as the ten-member combat team entered the town, they quickly found themselves in a miserable situation.

However, the more desperate things became, the more unwilling they were to just give up.

In the end, someone in the group came up with a plan.

They would use one person as bait to lure out the mutated zombie.

As long as they could get their hands on its crystal core, the trip would be worth it.

The one chosen as bait was the original Kim Haru.

He refused, but in the end, he couldn't withstand his teammates' persistent begging and agreed.

His teammates repeatedly promised they would save him in time.

But...

They didn't.

When the mutated zombie appeared, the others rushed over to deal damage, eager to score more hits because the more they contributed, the bigger their share would be when the crystal core was sold.

No one remembered there was still a "bait" being tied up.

The original Kim Haru struggled hard, calling out for help, but instead of his teammates, his cries attracted the zombies.

The original Kim Haru was bitten by the zombies.

In the end, his teammates managed to blow the mutated zombie's head off, retrieve the crystal core, and gleefully get in the vehicle.

And left.

"If it wasn't for the fact that we let you join the team so we could live in your villa, do you really think someone like you would be able to do missions with us? You should have been dead ages ago."
