Chapter 25
The mission had been updated.
◆ Ma… Main Quest?!: Repair the emergency generator within 15 minutes….
Ding.
A system window appeared.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
‘The emergency power shouldn’t have run out yet.’
I didn’t have time to waste reading a useless system window.
I didn’t even finish reading the first line before closing it.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I was worried about Lee Gaon, but I couldn’t go back upstairs to check on her.
If we didn’t repair the generator within the next fifteen minutes, it would be an immediate Game Over.
Something was wrong.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Then I broke into a run as I shouted,
I had to trust that she was safe and focus on the repairs.
“I think we can still do something.”
“So, this means we’re screwed, right?”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Our footsteps echoed loudly, but the zombies barely spared us a glance before returning their attention elsewhere.
All of them had their arms stretched toward the ceiling speakers, where the announcement continued to play.
We sprinted across the cafeteria, weaving between overturned tables and chairs.
“First, let’s run!”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
As I ran at full speed, I calculated the time in my head.
Otherwise, finishing the repairs in fifteen minutes would have been practically impossible.
Thank goodness the three of us were zombies.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Six minutes to get from here to the generator room in Basement Level 2.
That would leave us with roughly two minutes to spare—but only if everything went perfectly, like a flawlessly synchronized machine.
If there was a boss event scene, add another minute.
‘At least five minutes for the repairs.’
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
He was leaping over the overturned chairs with his long legs.
I glanced back over my shoulder. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Kwak Hanmuk’s role in holding off the boss was the most important.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
“Captain Kwak! echo How are you holding up?!”
As I pushed open the cafeteria door and ran into the hallway, I shouted,
“Better than usual! agent Maybe it’s because I’m turning into a zombie?!”
Noticing my gaze, he raised an eyebrow.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
As we ran down the long hallway, I checked the signs.
“Understood.”
The layout was identical to the game’s, so we wouldn’t waste time exploring.
When I saw the sign for the break room, a sharp pain pierced my chest.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I remembered its contents perfectly.
Hidden there was an old diary that mentioned the cure.
That room was where the researchers temporarily rested when they couldn’t go home.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Developing a cure for a virus requires a long and painful process to find a candidate compound.
Paranoid Researcher’s Diary #1
Even so, humanity has always managed to find cures for viruses that threatened its survival.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
What happens if the virus comes from outer space?
But.
Paranoid Researcher’s Diary #2
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Only two choices will remain.
The conventional process for developing antivirals exists only within the tiny ecosystem known as “Earth.”
If a virus from beyond invades us,
humanity will never find a cure.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Adapt or perish.
Paranoid Researcher’s Diary #3
No one understands my thoughts.
But the fear never leaves me.

Paranoid Researcher’s Diary #4
At last, I’ve found people who share my fears.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Before this absolute fear, it means nothing.
That’s right!
Countless voices whisper inside my head.
Why was I so afraid of something as insignificant as a virus?
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Paranoid Researcher’s Diary #5
The throbbing heartbeat of dimensions!
I’ve awakened!
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The sublime vastness of the chaotic void!
The formless chaos!
Being the diary of a paranoid man, it was filled with delusions.
Everything exists solely to entertain That One!
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I wanted to check whether there was a hidden item near the diary, just like the portable cassette player that never appeared in the game.
But it still talked about a cure.
But once the generator was repaired, part of the underground facility would be sealed off.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
We covered the long hallway in an instant and turned left.
The freight elevator came into view.
Even so, I had no choice but to look away.
This was my last chance.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
After that, it would remain unusable until the generator was repaired.
Its stainless steel doors gleamed ominously.
With the emergency power, it could only be used once.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Ding.
A moment later—
I pressed the button to go down.
The heavy doors began to slide open.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Kwak Hanmuk immediately covered his nose while cursing. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“Damn…”
“Ugh…”
Mo Haein let out a groan.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Researchers and office workers, dressed in bloodstained, tattered lab coats, stood motionless in unnatural positions.
“Can’t we lure them out by making some noise?”
All of them turned their empty eyes toward the doorway at the same time.
The elevator was already completely full.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
“I don’t think they’ll react.”
In the game, those zombies existed specifically to prevent the player from using the freight elevator.
Kwak Hanmuk asked, pinching his nose shut.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
No matter what you did, they never left it.
‘Unless the player became a zombie, using the freight elevator was impossible.’
The only option was to ride down with them.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Not a single one stepped out.
The zombies barely twitched.
Just as I expected, Kwak Hanmuk threw a huge rock to make a loud noise.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
“If we don’t use the elevator, we’ll have to go through the ventilation ducts. academy We don’t have time, and I don’t think Captain Kwak would even fit inside.”
With his build, he’d get stuck at the shoulders.
While he continued trying, Mo Haein asked,
“Another route?”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Kwak Hanmuk closed his eyes in resignation.
I was the first to step into the elevator.
“Let’s get in…”
Squish.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I squeezed through the narrow gap between the zombies.
Instead of the sound of metal beneath my feet, I stepped on detached flesh and pooled blood.
The rotting flesh of the one beside me brushed sticky against my shoulder.

I pressed myself as far back as I could and signaled Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein.
They stepped inside as well.
The stench of decaying corpses was unbearable.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
“Attention. adopt All researchers must proceed immediately to the shelter.”
As the automatic announcement continued, the zombies went berserk. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
The piercing noise caused the previously motionless zombies to snap their eyes open.
Just as Mo Haein was about to press the button for Basement Level 2, the siren sounded again.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
“…The isolation bulkheads will activate throughout all areas, and the facility will be completely sealed. aluminum We repeat. atlas All researchers…”
The doors closed before she could press the button.
Mo Haein, being the shortest of us, was immediately swallowed by the crowd of zombies.
“Graaah!”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Only the faint glow of the buttons dimly illuminated the inside.
All the interior lights went out.
The cramped elevator turned into a living hell.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The frenzied corpses crushed me against the wall.
The zombie pressing against me slowly raised its face with a growl.
It felt as though I were being compressed beneath a giant hammer.
“Ugh…”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Its teeth were completely stained red.
I wanted to shove it away.
I didn’t want to imagine what it had been eating.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
It only meant zombies stopped attacking you first.
But I couldn’t.
The moment the system judged that I had attacked a zombie, they would all attack me as well.
Becoming a zombie didn’t make you invincible.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Cold arms reached out from every direction, squeezing my chest tighter and tighter.
If a fight broke out in such a confined space, it would turn into a complete massacre.
For a moment, my vision began to spin.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Amid the chaos, I felt a warm body.
I nearly lost consciousness, but somehow managed to stay awake.
Fortunately, the zombies started shoving each other, and the ones crushing me were pushed away.
“Ghk!”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I caught her just as she was about to be crushed by the zombies.
“Captain Mo…!”
His fingertips brushed against the control panel.
While I held onto her, Kwak Hanmuk gritted his teeth and forced his arm through the crowd.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
He missed once.
Until, on the final attempt, he managed to graze the button.
Then again.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
With a loud rumble, the freight elevator began descending.
Every time I inhaled, the stench of the corpses felt as though it were crushing my lungs.
The B2 light came on.
I tried to make a little space while holding my breath as long as I could.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Inside that sealed box, we did everything we could to avoid touching the zombies with even the tip of a finger.
And since it was a freight elevator, it moved even slower than a normal one.
The time it took to descend a single floor felt endless.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
At last, the arrival chime sounded.
The doors slowly slid open.
Ding!

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Mo Haein and I exhaled all at once, finally releasing the breath we’d been holding.
“Hah!”
The roaring zombies poured out in a stampede.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I truly thought I was going to die.
Kwak Hanmuk, who had somehow managed to remain standing without being swept away by the horde, immediately looked for us.
After confirming we were both alive, he helped Mo Haein out first.
Then the three of us collapsed in front of the elevator, gasping for air.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I couldn’t help thinking that someone with mysophobia would have an absolutely miserable time if they became a zombie.
Being crushed had been awful. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
But the worst part had been the contact with the rotten flesh and the unbearable smell of corpses.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I wanted to stay there a little longer.
But every second counted.
We couldn’t afford to rest.
Mo Haein looked slightly dizzy, holding her head with one hand.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I closed the system window that had just appeared and got to my feet.
Zombification.
“Let’s keep moving.”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Basement Level 2 was where all the mechanical facilities were concentrated.
That was why the zombies in this area never slept—they remained active at all times.
The constant roar of engines filled the air.
The electrical distribution room and the generator room were both located there.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The narrow hallway was filled with desperate traces left behind by people trying to escape.
That was our first destination.
The only way to reach the generator room was by passing through the distribution room first.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Overturned objects were scattered everywhere, with zombies hidden among them.
A zombie missing the lower half of its body crawled across the floor with one hand outstretched.
We advanced as though we were running an obstacle course.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Others suddenly appeared from blind corners or emerged through side doors to block our path.
Even so, it was annoying because we had to avoid tripping over it.
It was only reacting to sound.
It wasn’t trying to attack us.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I didn’t need to worry about Mo Haein’s or Kwak Hanmuk’s physical abilities.
I only had to focus on avoiding the zombies.
Everything here depended on me.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
That allowed me to avoid them without too much trouble.
System windows occasionally continued appearing, warning me about the progress of the zombification.
Fortunately, I knew exactly what appeared and when.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
“Stop for a moment!”
The instant they heard my voice, Mo Haein and Kwak Hanmuk came to a sudden halt.
They unexpectedly blocked my vision, but I closed them immediately.
A television that had been caught atop a makeshift barricade fell right in front of us.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The screen crackled and flickered to life.
“Waaaaaa!”
Thud!
Amid recorded applause and cheers, we immediately started running again before the noise could attract more zombies.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Electrical Distribution Room
The moment we stepped inside, I shut the door.
After covering quite a distance, the sign finally came into view.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Something slammed against the door.
Bang!
Not even a few seconds had passed when—
It was to keep the zombies outside from getting in. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Then more impacts followed.
Boom! echo Boom! legend Boom!

The zombies drawn by the noise kept crashing into it.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
“Well getting out of here is going to be fun.”
Kwak Hanmuk made a brief comment.
There was probably already a mountain of zombies piling up on the other side.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
It was the access hatch for the cable conduit.
“Looks that way…”
I kicked the removable panel beneath the massive control board that covered the entire wall.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The panel popped open slightly.
Resting atop a thick bundle of dust-covered cables was a small key.
Clack.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Generator Room
I picked it up and stood before the soundproof door on the right.
The roar of the engine that had accompanied us ever since entering Basement Level 2 was much louder on the other side of the door.
Amid the engine noise came irregular banging sounds.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
I’d already explained the plan before entering the underground area.
Bang. acquire Bang.
As though someone were repeatedly smashing something.
“We have seven minutes left. silence The moment I open the door, the boss fight will begin. artist Just as we discussed, Captain Kwak will handle the boss while Captain Mo and I repair the generator.”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
They were some of the items I’d asked him to collect in Green Zone.
Kwak Hanmuk pulled three pairs of work gloves and a can of rust remover spray from his shoulder bag.
“Perfect. antique Take these.”
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Rust Remover Spray: Spray the surface and wait one minute before wiping it clean.
The three of us put on a pair of gloves.
Work Gloves: Watch out for the rubber smell! auction Disposable.
Mo Haein took the spray.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
In the deepest corner of Basement Level 2 stood a gigantic diesel generator.
As I opened the heavy soundproof door, a deafening roar slammed into my entire body.
“I’m opening it.”
I inserted the key into the lock.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
It felt strange seeing such outdated equipment inside a state-of-the-art laboratory.
I looked toward the staggering figure standing before the engine.
It gave me the same feeling as the old jeep and the portable cassette player.
Countless hydraulic hoses and fuel lines intertwined around the massive engine.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The Chef Zombie.
It wore a chef’s uniform, complete with an apron and a chef’s hat.
It was the underground area’s boss.
The Chef Zombie swayed for a few moments before violently punching the generator.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
Then it began wandering around the room in spasms, tossing everything aside, only to return again and punch the generator once more.
Bang!
Every punch made the machine sound increasingly unstable.
Ding.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
A system window appeared.
But something was wrong.
It seemed to contain information about the Chef Zombie, so this time I decided to read it.
The zombification is disappearing. airport (Current Progress: 1%)
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The zombification is disappearing. apron (Current Progress: 0%)
Another window immediately appeared.
You have fully recovered! adapt You are human once again.
Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 25 by Indra Translations.
The Chef Zombie and I locked eyes.
“Gruuu…”
