The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 77

Episode 77: Subjugating Vampires (1)

Inje-gun, a small city in Gangwon-do.

Deep in a mountain range in the northern corner.

There was a cave there that even the locals didn’t know about.

Inside the cave.

Very few people knew that military facilities had been built to prepare for emergencies.

but.

No matter how few people know about it, it is still a human power facility.

so that.

A monster appeared.

“Kaaaak…!”

Unlike the monsters that attacked other military bases.

There was only one monster that appeared in the bunker.

That one monster.

He sank his teeth into a man’s neck.

The man with the teeth stuck in his neck struggled in pain as he resisted the sudden attack.

That didn’t last long either.

After all the blood circulating in the man’s body went to the monster’s neck.

The monster’s blood began to flow backwards and circulate through the man’s veins.

OK.

“Loyalty to the queen….”

“Yes. “I look forward to your performance.”

Soon, the man kneels in front of the monster with soulless eyes.

Looking at that.

The monster called ‘Queen’ thought.

‘The number of followers has also increased considerably.’

Some time has passed since she appeared here.

The first subordinate was the man who managed the facilities of this cave.

It seems that he held a fairly important position among humans.

Such a status.

Standing bare in front of her doesn’t even have value as decoration.

Still, since he was a man of high status, he was quite knowledgeable about the knowledge of this world.

She received information about this world from her first family.

and.

There was one conclusion she came to through the knowledge she gained.

‘It’s the best environment for me to develop my strength.’

Even the abominable paladins.

There are no anti-horse warriors or blood demon hunters.

It seemed like there were stories in the world about beings with similar concepts to her.

However, it was only considered the realm of fantasy.

There was almost no preparation for a being like her.

In her eyes.

The humans in this world looked like they were sticking out their necks to ask questions.

‘It felt really good at the time.’

When she realized that fact, she was happy and immediately went hunting.

The moment I was about to leave the bunker with the expectation that I would be able to increase my strength in an instant.

In her head.

A thought came to mind.

[Invade and occupy the human race’s military facilities.]

[It must not be taken over by anyone.]

I tried to ignore it.

The closer you get to the exit, the stronger your thoughts become.

Still, she couldn’t give up her greed.

‘If I can’t leave this place, I can make the prey come find me.’

Fortunately, her family was able to move around the outside of the bunker freely.

Compared to direct hunting, it was definitely less efficient.

The number of servants she can make in a day is five.

In the early days, there were many days when not a single person could be made a member.

The result was that the first member, who was quite intelligent, put his mind to it.

We succeeded in spreading the word among the survivors.

Only recently has the pace of increasing the number of people started to pick up.

‘If you keep increasing your strength like this, the number of followers you can make per day will also increase.’

Now, all the survivors who come to visit are either fed to the clan or turned into new clans.

It seemed that once sufficient power was available, they could kidnap humans and raise them.

Creating a kind of food production factory.

If she could just get there, the speed at which she would increase her strength would accelerate.

One day, she would have enough strength to even push away the thoughts that were controlling her head.

‘That’s annoying.’

She frowned and thought.

At least the speed is starting to pick up.

This is because the speed has slowed down a bit due to an unfortunate incident that occurred recently.

‘He was a resourceful family member.’

Wantae Kwon.

He was one of the beings whom I especially cherished because he was a high-level and resourceful person among his family.

He was suddenly murdered.

It wasn’t difficult to find out about the culprits.

‘Soldiers… the warrior class of this world.’

Among the family members who had recently arrived, there were some who had rumors about those soldiers.

Among the military units that were thought to have been wiped out, there are units that survived.

They are people who carry out normal activities, such as subduing a group of marauders.

The rumor also included the approximate location of the military base.

Those who belong to the warrior class.

Now she can’t come forward herself.

If we try to subjugate with only our subordinates, there is a high possibility that we will suffer damage as well.

But she was confident.

‘Because the number of people is increasing every day.’

Those who arbitrarily murdered the beings she shared her blood with.

I never had the heart to forgive.

It may be dangerous right now, so build up your strength.

However, after gaining sufficient strength.

Her descendants will become waves and slay those warriors.

* * *

“You must be thinking something like that.”

Unit meeting time.

Sergeant Lee Min-jae said this with a sigh.

“It’s unfortunate, but that’s not really a wrong idea. If the information Youngjun found out is true, that person is an awakened person… The speed at which vampires are increasing is abnormal. “We can’t keep up.”

“I said it increases by five a day, right? It’s amazing….”

“The time when the Lizards were ignoring the troops was the time when the number of awakened people increased the fastest. Even back then, it was impossible to wake up five people a day.”

That’s five a day.

Over 30 people in a week and 150 people in a month.

That we can fill the number of our unit members now.

“Then won’t the gap widen as time passes?”

“If we leave it as is, I think it will eventually reach a point where there are no more answers than there are now.”

That is correct.

so.

“We should go with a preemptive strike.”

I guess that’s why we got a tank.

but.

Acquiring a tank was good, but it wasn’t enough to just use it.

Although the tank’s armor is thick, the awakeners and monsters are not ordinary beings.

A sufficiently powerful Awakened person would be able to destroy that armor.

The shortfall will be made up through modifications by engineers.

And while the engineers were remodeling the tank.

The remaining members of the unit began formulating the strategy necessary to subdue the vampires.

“Where is the entrance to the cave?”

“…As you go up the mountain path, there is a large rock. If you deviate from there and go up….”

“Oh. You said the fortification was completed, right? “Can you tell me the locations of the external guard posts?”

“Good… It’s spread out in many places, so anyone who approaches on foot can’t survive… The location…”

After making the captive vampire be [honest].

All the information obtained was recorded on the map.

My soldiers and I looked at the map and put our heads together and decided to come up with a strategy for the attack.

Most of those who went into the operation plan were famous for being smart in their units.

There was one person who was a little surprising.

“That is a wrong idea. If you want to attack this part, this is…”

“Ah. okay.”

Someone expressed opposition to the strategy suggested by one of the soldiers.

However, even if it was an opposing opinion, no one was dissatisfied with it.

This is because it was a cool-headed opinion that even I, who was not knowledgeable about strategy, could understand.

That’s really true.

I felt so much like an expert that I was unintentionally overwhelmed…

but the problem is.

“If we had planned the plan like this, we would have been in big trouble.”

“thank you. “Lieutenant Kim.”

That is Lieutenant Kim Hyun-seok.

It was a comment that came from the mouth of a man who was famous for not being able to do his job in the military.

“There is nothing to be thankful for. “We are having a strategy meeting to express each other’s opinions and fill in any shortcomings.”

“…I really can’t get used to it.”

“hmm? Youngjun. “What did you say?”

“It’s nothing.”

The job that Lieutenant Kim awakened to was [lowest level commander].

Now that my level has risen considerably, I am a [lower level commander].

Is it not for nothing that he is not a commander?

As he participated in the strategy meeting, he did not show any of the foolishness he had when he was the company commander of the 423rd Battalion.

Rather, he repeats clear and cool-headed advice and criticism like a genius strategist.

This operational meeting.

Anyone could see that he was the most active.

‘My level as a commander has risen. Does this mean that his ability as a commander has actually improved?’

It looks a little absurd.

I can’t get used to it at all.

‘What is good?’

It was in the past that we didn’t get along well.

Now, Lieutenant Kim is showing infinite loyalty to me.

and.

If you had to pick the person who is least active in this meeting, who would it be?

‘That would be me.’

Unfortunately.

I don’t have much to do with strategy and tactics.

To begin with, my major is not conducting.

“I will leave the operation to Lieutenant Kim.”

“okay? Then later…”

“I’ll cook you another snack.”

“thanks! Youngjun!!!”

so.

Leave this to Lieutenant Kim.

I decided to focus on what I was good at.

If Lieutenant Kim’s major is conducting.

My major is cooking, after all.

‘There’s already something that we’ve put a lot of effort into.’

It’s something I’ve been trying for quite some time.

Now, that is nearing the end.

And the enemy there is a vampire.

I also have a dish in mind.

There is a possibility that it may not work well.

As long as my aim is correct.

There are hundreds of vampires.

‘You’ll earn a lot of experience.’

* * *

A guild located in the northern part of Inje-gun.

[Gangwon-do Survivors Association]

There was one man who came with his family to join them.

and.

He was very dissatisfied now.

“Shit.”

“Calm down, brother.”

“no. Anyway, that’s true. When did you arrive? “When are you going to let me join you?”

I listened to the stories of the survivors who arrived first.

It was said that it originally took quite some time, but not this much.

What is the reason?

“Does this change just because the person in charge has changed?”

I guess.

It seems that the man who was previously in charge of scouting was quite a resourceful person.

But here’s what happened.

Something has happened recently where the person in charge has changed.

The new person who comes into the position seems to have less spiritual ability.

The progress of work has become quite slow.

“I don’t understand. “Why do people who are doing a good job suddenly change?”

“older brother. “It’s a large group. As the group gets bigger, aren’t there going to be mistakes?”

“Shit. “Maybe I should have joined that military unit.”

The man also once went to a military base to ask for help.

Rather, he ended up only on the verge of death from the extremely powerful monsters that were stationed there.

Because I have that experience.

Although I heard a rumor that there was a surviving military unit, it was a rumor.

Or, I thought it was a malicious rumor made by deserters who had turned into marauders.

I thought it might have been a wrong decision.

Because complaining doesn’t solve anything.

I just had no choice but to let go of my anger.

Gooooooooo….

“What is it?”

suddenly.

I felt the ground shaking.

“Isn’t it an earthquake?”

“no. listen carefully. “There’s a sound coming from nearby.”

Although I was dissatisfied.

Around here, a place called [Survivors’ Union] has managed to keep the security to a certain extent, so there are few encounters with monsters or zombies.

but.

And it wasn’t there at all.

‘Is a large monster moving around passing by…?’

You never know.

The man ran out of the building, thinking that he should avoid any monster he couldn’t deal with.

and.

What the man encountered was not a giant monster or anything like that.

‘what. soldier?’

Several young men in military uniform.

It had been quite a while since I had seen a soldier, so I was a little taken aback by his unfamiliar appearance.

The man shouted at the two.

“Who are you! “What was that sound just now?”

actually.

If they were looters with guns, they wouldn’t have been able to speak so confidently.

But this is the territory of that large group [Survivors’ Coalition].

I believed that since they took care of security, there would be no accidents.

That’s right, the [Survivors’ Coalition] is a large group with hundreds of members.

No matter how great they are, they can’t help but notice that.

however.

“Who are you?”

“How should I answer this?”

The two soldiers had an attitude as if they were asking something like that.

at that time.

With a loud sound.

A large tremor was felt behind the soldiers.

‘Damn it, is it a monster!?’

The nervous man prepared to draw his weapon.

Soon, I had no choice but to slowly put down that hand.

Because the true identity of the earthquake was revealed.

With the sound of a huge endless orbit.

“Uh huh…?”

The thing that appeared was crushing the corpse of a zombie that was lying on the road.

It was a huge tank.

A soldier carrying a machine gun pointed at the tank that was following them.

As if you don’t know when you look at it.

“They are soldiers.”

Leaving the confused man behind.

The soldiers stood next to the tank and began to move slowly.

and.

After that.

“It’s really…the military.”

Dozens of tanks, armored vehicles, and military trucks.

More than a hundred soldiers were following him.
