The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 11
4. Real Survival (2)
Before Almond entered the convenience store.
I checked my current status.
==== ====
[Starvation]
Stamina has decreased to 5%. If starvation persists, health will gradually deplete, followed by hallucination symptoms such as panic and delusions.
[Exhaustion]
You have consumed too much stamina. Stamina recovery speed has decreased. You need to rest.
==== ====
Exhaustion and starvation were my current conditions.
‘I need to go in and rest a bit.’
If I went into the convenience store, ate some bread, and took a rest, things should improve.
Thinking this, I entered the convenience store.
“What? You guys? I told you not to come during class time.”
There was a convenience store clerk inside.
‘Oh…’
Now that I think about it, I hadn’t considered this. That there would be people inside.
‘I need to lock the door now.’
Soon, the zombies pouring in from outside the school gates will all make it over. This convenience store will become dangerous too.
But how do I lock the door while explaining myself?
‘What do I do?’
The convenience store clerk didn’t know about the zombie outbreak.
If I told that woman, ‘There are zombies, so I’m locking the door,’ she wouldn’t agree.
‘Just overpower her by force?’
Should I just overpower her?
She looked like a college student. Even if Juhyeok Kim was weak, I could definitely overpower her.
The problem was there wasn’t just one woman.
“You startled me…”
There was another male student secretly eating pizza bread.
“I thought it was the teacher.”
The male student mumbled while chewing the pizza bread.
His hair was long and unkempt, looking dark and gloomy. His build was thin. He was short too.
I looked down at my own body. The physical manifestation was Almond’s as it was. I should naturally be able to overpower one scrawny male student and one college-aged woman.
The problem was the personality of this character called Juhyeok Kim. If this coward got gripped by fear again, I didn’t know what would happen. And if the current ‘starvation’ condition persisted, it might pile on something like a mental disorder.
“Hey. Get out. Hurry.”
The convenience store clerk came out from behind the counter and approached me.
“Hey, Pizza Bread. You get out too. If the teacher comes, I’ll get scolded too.”
‘I don’t have time to worry about this.’
Clang!
After making his decision, he locked the door without a word.
-Wait, he just locked it?
-That’s bold as hell
The convenience store noona is gonna make my heart flutter lol
Stop playing the game properly again, our nuts~
“…Hey. What are you doing right now?”
The convenience store clerk spun around toward the door, her eyes blazing.
She approached while tying up her hair. Her momentum was anything but ordinary. She looked furious.
“Why did you lock the door? Huh? Are you insane? You want to get hit for real?”
Almond ignored her and walked toward the convenience store section.
[Starvation]
I had to resolve this condition first.
“Hey! Aren’t you listening to me?!”
-Why is this noona so sharp-tongued
-Dealing with students all day would corrupt anyone
-Noona I’m (masked) dying! I’m dying!
That’s cute lol
Almond tore open a peanut crumb bread and shoved it straight into his mouth.
“Yeah, the convenience store is the best. Even with the power out, there’s still plenty to eat.”
The nutty aroma of the crumb topping combined with the nutty richness of peanut butter for a doubly savory taste. Add to that the moist and crumbly, satisfying texture of the bread itself.
Soboro lol
That’s smooth lol
-Look at him gritting his teeth while picking nuts
[Hunger]
My condition had now improved to the hunger stage.
Clank… Squeak.
The convenience store clerk was trying to open the door again.
“Ugh. There are seriously too many weird bastards around.”
She was pulling the rod she’d wedged between the door handles back out, unaware that Almond was eating bread. The old iron door required this crude method to open and close.
But then──
“!?”
Squeak.
Almond appeared on the other side and pushed the rod back in.
“Crazy! Are you out of your mind?”
Munch. Munch.
Almond said nothing, continuing to eat the crumb bread while pushing the rod in.
“Argh! What kind of prank is this?!”
The convenience store clerk kept trying to pull it out, while Almond kept pushing it in.
Screech. Screech.
The metal grated, but the door remained locked regardless.
Hahahaha Almond Shake game is so half-assed lol
Even the convenience store noona treats me like a human being lol
I don’t even know if I’m doing it efficiently or what ㅋㅋㅋ
That’s hilarious lol
Poor noona ㅠㅠ
The Convenience Store Clerk stares at me in disbelief and asks.
“Haa… Haa… Hey. Why do you keep locking up? Huh? Are you hurt somewhere? What grade and class are you in? Should I call your homeroom teacher?”
She waves her phone around. It looks like she’s trying to threaten me. That was a mistake.
“Ah. The phone.”
Smack!
Before the Convenience Store Clerk could even react, I snatched it away.
-???
That’s fast lol
-A well-fed Almond is unstoppable!
-Is, is this physical ability?
I took the phone because I thought it was the key to breaking out of this situation, but there’s no way the Convenience Store Clerk could know that.
“Hey! Give that back!? Are you actually insane!?”
The moment I took her phone, the Convenience Store Clerk naturally charged at me in earnest.
But of course, she was no match for me.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Every attack aimed at me just cuts through empty air.
Every one of my attacks connects. I push her forehead back without even glancing at her.
“Aaaah!”
Her forehead slides back as she grabs the back of her neck.
That’s already the eighth time she’s been pushed back.
“This… total loser move…!”
I’m going crazy lolololol
-Insane physical ability
That’s hilarious as hell lol
“What even is a push-up, lol”
The convenience store noona’s forehead turned red lol
The chat window becomes a sea of laughter.
[Jjo donated 1,000 won.]
[Almond. Why are you disrespecting the Convenience Store Clerk. You weren’t like this with Reina!]
“I’m not sure how to explain it….”
[Fact donated 10,000 won!]
[Almond’s true thoughts: Huh? I just had to put my face forward and it worked? Why am I explaining?]
“Thanks for the donation. Fake.”
Naturally reading facts as fake lol
Dribbling with your tongue lol
Is this like that thing called twerking or whatever? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-That nut shack talk show guy drank some water and got a bit loose
While Almond was giving his sponsorship thanks, the Convenience Store Clerk was doing push-ups with her forehead, but eventually grew exhausted and collapsed onto the floor.
“Haa… I, I’m losing it… What is this? Suddenly what the hell….”
She continued muttering like a person who had lost her mind, unable to comprehend the situation.
[Summary Addict donated 10,000 won!]
[From her perspective, some thug suddenly burst into the convenience store, locked the door, took her phone, and when she tried to get it back, he dodged every single attack with incredible physicality while doing forehead push-ups for over 10 minutes. And judging by his appearance, he doesn’t look tired at all—it’s a hopeless situation where he could probably go for another 30 minutes.]
Hahaha, that’s hilarious.
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Feels like I’m losing my mind for real
-I would’ve had a complete mental breakdown.
What the hell kind of crazy dream is that lol
“Long Comment Addict. You’re banned.”
[‘Summary Addict’ has been forcibly removed.]
Hahahahaha
Paid van available
Naturally “Jang Moon-chung” lol
-Summary Addict didn’t live up to their name
No mercy lol
While doing some quick chat moderation.
The Convenience Store Clerk screamed at the top of her lungs.
“Hey. How long are you going to keep doing this?”
Almond continued to ignore her completely, staring at his phone.
-???: i can do this all day
Hey, say something back to me lol
-This is seriously too much
“Huh? You interested in me? You’re trying to get my phone number, right? Huh?”
Hahaha, you’re so cute!
-Finally the crazy clerk
-Seems like she’s provoking him on purpose
Almond continued staring at his phone, completely ignoring the Convenience Store Clerk’s words, and muttered.
“Ah. Found it.”
“Found what?”
He found something on his phone and thrust it toward the Convenience Store Clerk.
“…?”
It was a news article.
[Real-Life Zombies? Mutant Virus Raises the Dead.]
The article that came out a bit earlier was like this.
[United States Officially Declares National Disaster.]
[India and Chinese Governments Collapse as of Now]
The articles that followed were like this.
[Korea is not a safe zone. First zombie birth.]
[Airport hastily shut down, but too late…]
Articles reporting that the zombie virus had entered Korea.
All of this happened within just a few hours. The nation had no time to respond.
[All lawmakers and government officials evacuated to bunkers, martial law declared]
[Government acknowledges national disaster. Officially named ‘zombie virus’]
[Extremely rapid transmission. One bite or scratch and you’re done…]
“W-what is this? Is this real?”
The Convenience Store Clerk stared at her phone in disbelief. No matter how she looked at it, there was no basis to believe this wasn’t real.
She immediately called someone on her phone.
“….”
Whether they weren’t answering or not, she sat there with trembling eyes.
When she called again, the other person still didn’t pick up.
The Convenience Store Clerk finally turned to look at Almond.
“So that’s why you locked this door….”
Bang! Bang! Boom!
The sound of the iron door reverberating.
This time, Almond didn’t bother blocking the Convenience Store Clerk. Instead, he finally explained the situation.
“The Physical Education Teacher outside has already turned into a zombie. After that, one more student from our class became a zombie. There were almost a hundred zombies outside the school gate. When the gate collapsed, they all poured into the school.”
Bang! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the iron door behind them rattling as if it would break added credibility to his explanation.
“We have to hold out here. There’s food in here. We should be able to last quite a while.”
“…Hold out?”
The Convenience Store Clerk’s eyes wavered.
“Um, until when? Can we actually survive by just holding out? Should I call 119 first?”
“Already did. When the Physical Education Teacher first collapsed. The Class Representative or vice representative did it.”
Ding.
Then, a text message came to her phone.
[Emergency Disaster Alert) Zombie virus infections are spreading. All citizens, please read the response guidelines and prioritize your safety while waiting. The Disaster Management Headquarters will soon prepare supplies. Please wait until then.]
“…This is real.”
It was a disaster alert that came too late.
Almond read it alongside her.
‘Supplies?’
Not rescue coming, but supplies being provided.
What did that mean?
At least it wasn’t just blindly holding out.
“Sigh… W-what do I do….”
The Convenience Store Clerk collapsed to the floor with a thud, this time with a different meaning than before.
“What kind of chaos is this….”
After seeing the disaster alert, it finally feels real. Meanwhile, that shaggy-haired Pizza Bread over there has been nibbling away without much reaction since earlier. Though he does seem to be listening to what I’m saying.
Grrrrowl.
The sound came from Almond’s stomach.
‘Maybe I should grab some Pizza Bread too.’
Almond decides to heat up the Pizza Bread in the microwave while it’s still working.
The Convenience Store Clerk didn’t resist when he took the bread. She’d already realized the situation was beyond normal.
Beep beep beep.
Setting the microwave timer now. Finally, peace settles over the convenience store.
Thud… thud…
Except for the sound of a few zombies pounding on the door.
While the microwave ran, Almond continued streaming.
“So we just need to hold out until supplies arrive, right? The game hasn’t officially launched yet, so it’s pretty easy.”
Haha, right?
-Too easy for Almond…
-Seems easier than the Kingdom.
How did a zombie even get in here in this state? Are you sure you’re awake? lol
Just as Almond was talking as if he’d nearly cleared the game, a donation came in.
[OnebitBearGrylls donated 10,000 won!]
It won’t be that easy, will it? lol
“OnebitBear, thank you. What do you mean?”
[OnebitBearGrylls donated 10,000 won!]
[Why? Because you can’t handle biological needs. Are there shower facilities in the convenience store besides food? Is there a bathroom? Where are you going to sleep?]
“…?”
Almond was momentarily flustered.
Not because his jab was too sharp, but because it was absurd.
“No, this is a game. Why would you need all that?”
However, this was Almond’s mistake.
Rather, his carelessness.
Carelessness about just how perversely the developers had designed this game.
“Hey…”
The Convenience Store Clerk tugged at Almond’s collar from behind.
“I get your plan. We should have enough food. But…”
She lowered her gaze and asked carefully.
“…What about our bathroom?”
“!?”
Seeing an NPC say something like this, it must be a real necessity.
‘I have to deal with this too?’
Faced with a realism he’d never experienced in games before, Almond felt a headache coming on.
