Seo-ho surveyed the naked civilians with satisfaction, separating the men and women into distinct areas.
The department store’s parking lot was vast, designed to accommodate a large number of vehicles.
With the cars gone, it offered ample space. He divided the parking lot in half, creating separate zones for men and women.
He then distributed tents and sleeping bags, one per person, to provide some shelter from the elements.
He wondered if livestock truly needed tents. He had stripped them of their clothes, and if someone caught a cold and weakened, they might die.
“That wouldn’t be any fun.”
He had plenty of food. He didn’t intend to kill them quickly. He planned to keep them for a long time, treating them like animals, and watching them become accustomed to that treatment. Just like they had done to him.
*Clang.*
He approached the men’s area and tossed something before them.
“Wh-What is this…? Seo-ho-goon.”
Professor Lee Sang-woon, acting as their representative, cautiously asked, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity. Seo-ho smiled.
“Chastity belts.”
“Ch-Chastity belts?”
He had given them male chastity belts. Simple devices worn on the flaccid penis to prevent any “breeding activities.”
“Why are you giving us chastity belts…?”
“W-We have no such intentions!”
Some of the men protested. Seo-ho shook his head.
“I won’t allow my livestock to breed without my permission. This is to prevent that.”
“Th-That’s, Seo-ho-goon. We wouldn’t do such a thing without your permission!”
The other men nodded in agreement, their faces pale. But Seo-ho noticed one man whose gaze lingered on the women’s area.
“Well, I guess most would protest.”
It was ridiculous to think that these naked people would still be treated as humans. He tossed another item next to the pile of chastity belts.
—*Clang.*
A sharp metallic sound echoed as the object hit the ground. Sang-woon’s face turned ashen when he saw what it was. The other men followed his gaze. Seo-ho pointed at the large, metal shears.
“It’s your choice not to wear them. But if you don’t, I’ll cut it off. Are you okay with that?”
The men, without a word, scrambled to grab a chastity belt and put it on.
“Good. Much smarter than dumb animals.”
The men hung their heads in despair at his praise. They were utterly dejected, having their penises sealed.
After receiving the keys to the chastity belts from Sang-woon, Seo-ho looked at the men with satisfaction. He had successfully prevented the naked men from breeding.
“Wait here quietly. I’ll be back.”
Having finished dealing with the civilians, he addressed them and left the parking lot.
“I wonder if any of them will be dead when I return?”
He had ordered the surrounding zombies to eat anyone who tried to escape. He had also instructed them not to infect anyone. He didn’t want them to turn into mindless zombies and infect everyone. He had ordered them to devour them cleanly.
“Now, let’s see how our heroes are doing.”
He headed to the dormitory, where the soldiers were still restrained, awaiting his judgment.
“Mister!”
When he arrived on the second floor, where the earlier commotion had taken place, Ha-yeon and Da-hee, carrying K2 rifles, greeted him. They were carrying the rifles he had taken from the two soldiers. He kissed them both affectionately on the cheek and looked at the soldiers, who were still sitting on the floor.
They all met his gaze. Some looked at him with fear, others with anger. Hae-seok was among the latter. He still glared at him.
“Did they make any trouble?”
“Hmm, they were noisy, but I disciplined them like you said, and they quieted down.”
“Good job.”
“Hehe.”
He was proud of Ha-yeon’s growth. She had been so timid when they first met, but now she was so bold. He suspected it was due to her Servant progress. Her Servant progress was at 87%, almost 100%. It seemed that her loyalty to him increased along with this number.
“Ugh, you son of a bitch, Lee Seo-ho…”
As he patted Ha-yeon’s butt, a voice filled with hatred reached his ears. Hae-seok was glaring at him, his face a mess.
“I’ll kill you. No matter what…”
“Wow, our Commander is so manly.”
He was still defiant, despite having his arms broken and witnessing Seo-ho’s control over the zombies. He seemed to be driven more by anger than fear.
“Su-ah… What did you do to Su-ah?”
He asked cautiously, but his sharp gaze still threatened to kill Seo-ho if he didn’t like the answer. Seo-ho chuckled and crouched down to meet his gaze.
“She’s waiting naked at my place.”
“You fucking bastard!! If you touch Su-ah, I’ll really kill you!!”
“Oh, I’m so scared.”
Hae-seok bared his teeth, shaking his body despite his broken arms. He seemed to be genuinely in love with Chae Su-ah.
“I didn’t see him touch any other women.”
Seo-ho admired his unexpected devotion while a good idea popped into his head.
“So, he really cares about Chae Su-ah…?”
He smiled silently, and Hae-seok trembled, glaring at him.
“Don’t you dare touch her. She’s my woman!! If you lay a finger on her…!!”
“Ha-yeon, this guy is too loud.”
“Yes, sir!”
Ha-yeon nodded and swung her K2.
*Whack!*
“Kuhhk…!”
*Thud, thud.*
Hae-seok grunted as the butt of the rifle struck his jaw. A few teeth fell out. It seemed to be three molars. Ha-yeon, who had apparently held back, covered her mouth with her hand, realizing her mistake. Hae-seok fell silent, slumping to the floor.
“Good, I’ve decided.”
Ryu Da-hee approached him as he stood up and looked down at them.
“What are you going to do?”
“Nothing much yet. I just want them to feel what I felt.”
“So? What are you going to do?”
Da-hee looked at him, grabbing his arm. She was ready to do whatever he asked. He smiled and fondled her butt. She blushed and smiled shyly.
“First, lock each of them in a room. I need to starve them a little. They have too much energy right now.”
“Yes! Leave it to me!”
The soldiers sighed in relief. They were probably relieved that he wasn’t going to kill them immediately. Well, they could relax. He wasn’t a homicidal psychopath. He would eventually feed them to the crystal, but he wasn’t going to torture them like a madman. He just wanted them to feel despair. The same despair he had felt.
*Clank, clank.*
After locking each soldier in a separate room on the fourth floor, he returned to the department store with Ha-yeon and Da-hee. He had locked each soldier in a separate room on the fourth floor.
“What if they escape through the window?”
“Let them.”
He answered Da-hee’s question with a smile. It didn’t matter if they escaped. It was a four-story drop. Even if they survived the fall, they would be surrounded by zombies. He had also filled the dormitory with zombies, just in case.
He had ordered the zombies to kill anyone who came out of the rooms. After finishing these complicated arrangements, he returned to the department store, feeling exhausted.
As soon as he parked the car in the parking lot, he saw the people huddled together in fear. They were naked, clinging to each other, their backs turned to a certain direction. He followed their gaze.
“Heeeek…!”
Ha-yeon gasped and clung to him.
“I guess one of them did it.”
He covered Ha-yeon’s eyes and held her close as he looked at the naked woman being devoured by zombies. She was still alive, unable to scream, her legs twitching. But those movements soon stopped.
“Let’s go inside. You two did well.”
He quickly led Ha-yeon and Da-hee inside. He didn’t want his women to be traumatized.
“It’s a shame, though.”
He looked at the woman being eaten as he led them inside. He wasn’t particularly disturbed by the gruesome sight anymore. He looked at her face indifferently.
“She was a pretty one. Died before I could have my fun.”
The dead woman was one of the survivors who had joined the dormitory after he left. He didn’t have any particular grudge against her. He felt a little regret.
“Well, it’s her bad luck.”
He had been thinking of releasing her if she behaved. It was a shame she had tried to escape and died. Now, only the group he had been with during his time as a slave remained among the women. As for the male survivors… he’d keep an eye on them for now.
“Eat everything, down to the bones.”
*Munch, munch.*
The zombies grabbed the woman’s severed arm and took a large bite, following his command. Soon, nothing would remain. This would deter anyone else from trying to escape. They had all seen what happened to those who disobeyed him.
“Um… excuse me…”
Then, someone fearlessly approached him. It was a familiar voice. He turned to see Chae Su-ah, trembling, standing cautiously before him.
“S-Seo-ho-yah.”
She was terrified, but she forced a smile, trying to win his favor. She subtly showed off her breasts, pretending to cover them.
“I… I have something I want to say to you.”
She smiled, her face pale.
