1979, Manager Kim is Inheriting Dictatorship! - Chapter 101
Only Krnovel
Episode 101
We know from experience that Q1’s cognitive abilities are superior to those of the general infected.
At the logistics center and Yeongjong Island, there were cases where invisible survivors were chased.
But I never thought that my evolved cognitive abilities would be enough to find even the hidden party members.
Things are moving quickly.
From now on, it was a fierce battle against time.
Kyaaaah-!!
“Get out of the way!”
On the first floor of the gym, there were still a few infected people who had not yet followed the herd.
After leaving the luncheon to the platoon members, I pulled out my jungle knife from my waistband.
Phew!
He spun his jungle sword in the air and swung it at the approaching infected.
Crunch!
At the same time, he cut off the entire neck and quickly finished off the guys who were running after him.
Before I could even feel the pleasure running up my fingertips, the back of my neck became cold.
Behind the falling corpses, many infected were still running after us.
“older brother!”
“Leave it here and go first!”
The parking lot where the truck is located is about 100 meters away from the gym.
While I was blocking the emerging infected, my squad mates hurriedly ran to the parking lot.
Crunch!
I took out the SX3 shotgun I had on my back, took aim, and aimed the muzzle at the guys.
Boom!
Boom!
And he coolly crushed the infected who were running towards him, clearing the way.
My nerves exploded as the flying shells and the faint smell of gunpowder tickled my nostrils.
I quickly emptied all the bullets and lifted the shotgun upside down, raising the buttstock to my shoulder.
Click, click, click.
At the same time, he started tactical reloading at a rapid pace and observed the situation that was changing from moment to moment.
The platoon members safely made their way to the parking lot, and now it was my turn to follow them.
Kyaaaaak!
Phew!
This time it’s Dragon Breath.
After finishing reloading in an instant, I aimed for the infected coming out of the building and shot them.
A flame rose from the muzzle and all the men huddled together burned at once.
I ran into the parking lot, leaving the entrance that was quickly turning into a sea of fire.
“This way!”
In the meantime, Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had been following the truck wiring and starting it, made an urgent gesture.
I ran to the truck in a hurry, climbed into the cargo hold, and checked the number of people.
All of the injured soldiers, including me, Private First Class Lee Hyeon-su, and Private First Class Oh Chan-il, boarded.
“Let’s go!”
Kikkik!
At the word to move off, the truck accelerated rapidly, leaving black tire skid marks behind.
And then he quickly left the parking lot and started to cross the middle of the playground.
“Where should we go!”
“We have to chase them! Get out first!”
Currently, Q1 and the infected are swarming like bees to catch the escaped group.
Since it’s only a matter of time before they catch up, we need to pick them up from our side where we have the vehicle.
Boooow!
CLANG!
At the order to get out, the truck drove through the broken main gate and out of the school.
At the same time, I quickly passed the intersection and turned the steering wheel in the direction the guys were coming from.
But Private Lee Hyeon-su asked me with an anxious expression, as if he was unsure of the direction.
“Brother, is this the right way?”
“wait a minute.”
The streetlights are out, it’s too dark, and the terrain is complex, making it difficult to tell direction.
I started to look around in place of Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had a narrow field of vision.
‘There is a flow.’
The group of infected people under Q1’s control is like a school of sardines swimming in the ocean.
Even now, I was running after the group that was running away while changing locations in real time.
With my eyes wide open, I began to quietly observe how Q1 drove.
‘Found it.’
It may seem like a reckless current flowing through a deep abyss, but there is clearly a pattern to it.
After noticing the recurring feature, I tapped on the truck hood and pointed to the right road.
“Turn right!”
Kikkik!
The truck, which had been accelerating for a while, tilted to the side and then veered precariously onto the right side of the road.
Private Lee Hyeon-su barely managed to find his balance and started accelerating again.
The surrounding scenery passing by quickly and the terrible roars of the monsters getting closer by the second.
We pierced through the veil of fear as if we were entering the midst of a raging storm.
“Brother! Front!”
Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had been performing stunt driving for a while, pointed to the front and shouted urgently.
At the intersection right in front, a dense group of infected people were running in a belt.
We finally reached the border of Molly.
We have to break through to save our companions.
“Pierce through!”
“Ugh, I don’t know!”
At the words, “Go ahead,” Private Lee Hyeon-su stepped hard on the accelerator and accelerated to the final stage.
At the same time, my platoon mates and I pulled the triggers at the infected running towards us in a group.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo-!
Boom! Boom!
As the gun fired, dozens of infected people running towards them fell down, covered in blood.
The truck, not missing the gap, squeezed its heavy body into the gap.
Boom, crunch!
Rattling, rattling!
I pushed and trampled the rushing infected, forcing my way through the swamp of flesh.
My platoon mates and I desperately resisted, pushing away the men who were trying to get onto the truck.
Please don’t stop.
If we stop here, we all die.
It is not an illusion that a distance of less than 30 meters feels far today.
We pulled the trigger like crazy, hoping the rocking truck would hold its ground.
Boooooooooo-!!
“Okay!”
At that moment, the truck, which had squeezed out the last of its strength, roared as it finally emerged from the swamp of flesh.
The center of gravity, which had been tilting, quickly recovered, and the acceleration, which had slowed down, also began to pick up again.
“Last shot!”
“This is the last for me too!”
However, the ammunition, which was already scarce, was completely depleted in the recent battle.
There are now about 5 minutes left.
If we can’t get the escaped group inside, we can’t guarantee our lives.
I started looking around frantically, looking for any companions who might be in the area.
Kwaaaaang-!!
But at that moment, a loud explosion was suddenly heard from a three-story commercial building in the distance.
Realizing that it was a grenade blast, I banged on the truck hood like crazy.
“Mr. Hyunsoo!”
“I’m on my way!”
I’m completely out of my mind, trying to figure out whether to kick away broken glass or hold the steering wheel.
Private Lee Hyeon-su, who did not lose focus until the end, drove the truck into the shopping district.
Kyaaaaaaaah-!!
The third floor of the shopping mall where the group was was already surrounded by a large crowd of infected people.
They were swaying around the building, their hands outstretched like rippling waves.
The ones who were moving that wave were those Q1s, howling happily and screaming at high frequencies.
“Look over there!”
On the roof of the building, a group of people were desperately resisting by blocking the stairs.
But the number of infected people crowded into the shopping mall was too large for the truck to approach.
“Brother, it’s a bag!”
At that moment, Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had been driving for a while, threw the bag he had placed on the passenger seat at me.
Inside were four grenades along with empty cartridge belts that the platoon members had removed.
I grabbed a grenade, which was like my last bit of firepower, and prepared to jump.
Bang! Bang!
The truck announced its current location by honking its horn madly and flashing its headlights.
Then, as if they had discovered us, they came running to one side of the rooftop, waving their hands urgently.
Squeak!
At that moment, the truck that had been running like crazy suddenly slammed on the brakes and tilted to the side.
Without a moment’s hesitation, I jumped out of the cargo hold and lifted the gun I was holding.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
He fired all the loaded bullets at the infected who were blocking the front of the truck.
ping!
At the same time, he pulled out two grenade pins and rolled them under the feet of the gathered men.
Kwaaaaang-!!
All the infected gathered on one side of the shopping mall were killed with a loud explosion that shook the earth.
“hurry!”
I was lying on the floor, but I quickly got up and waved both my arms.
Boooow, squeak!
Then, the truck turned its body in the opposite direction and started moving backwards, approaching the store.
Only then did the group realize our intentions and quickly threw the rope out of the rooftop.
“Got it!”
“Keep me out!”
No matter how fast you come down, you still need time to climb down the rope.
Doo doo doo-!
The platoon members shot and killed the infected who ran towards the truck to buy time.
But when the ammunition they brought ran out, they eventually resorted to bayonets and buttstocks.
Kkaaaak!
The sound of Q1’s cries coming from all directions made me feel like I was in the middle of hell.
Sreung!
After firing my shotgun for a while, I finally pulled out my jungle knife and rushed at the infected.
Crunch!
Kwajik!
Cut off the neck and cut off the head.
His arms and face were already soaked in black blood, and the handle of the jungle sticky with oil.
The consciousness of moving the body gradually disappears, and all senses move according to instinct.
Before I knew it, I was screaming silently and struggling to survive.
“Mr. Daesu!”
“Brother, come quickly!”
Meanwhile, the group that had safely boarded the truck began to call me anxiously.
Everyone was fighting like crazy on the truck, as if they were already out of ammunition.
“Let’s go!”
I shouted to the group to go first and took out the two remaining grenades.
Then, after pulling out the pin, he threw it into the shopping alley visible on the side of the building.
There, LPG gas cylinders were lying around in a mess, along with abandoned boxes.
ping!
After throwing the grenade, I immediately turned around and started running towards the truck.
The truck finally took off, trampling the rushing infected in a final escape attempt.
Huh, gasp!
My breath is pounding.
My calves hurt so much I feel like they’re going to burst.
But I squeezed out every bit of my strength and ran at full speed after the truck.
“Catch me!”
“Just a little more!”
The distance was only 2m, and the group riding in the luggage compartment reached out without saying who would go first.
Thanks to that, the distance that had felt so far away suddenly narrowed and we were on the verge of holding hands.
Kwaaaaang-!!
But at that moment, an explosion beyond expectations occurred in the shopping alley where the grenade was thrown.
The aftermath of the explosion that engulfed the gathered infected also struck in an instant.
Phew!
A huge aftershock blew at our backs, along with a plume of dust billowing into the sky.
At the same time, my center of gravity wavered and I lost his hand by almost a sheet of paper.
Time passes slowly.
The hand waving in the air and the astonished expressions of the group flashed before my eyes.
widely!
“Got it!”
But an arm flew out from somewhere and quickly snatched the bag I was carrying.
It was Kim Jin-kyung.
She grabbed my bag with an almost feat of skill, her foot on the truck guardrail.
I managed to climb into the truck bed with the help of those who reached out to me.
Booooooo-!!
The truck carrying all the people crossed the road, leaving the explosion behind.
The infected who were waving and the screaming Q1s all disappeared into the dark city.
Huh, gasp!
I barely managed to climb onto the cargo area, but my legs gave out and I collapsed.
Everyone looked behind them, breathing heavily, as if it didn’t feel real that they had survived.
The flames that rose in the middle of hell and the crowd of infected people that were swaying like birds gradually moved away.
Click, click!
My throat feels sore and I feel extremely thirsty.
But what comes to mind now is not the cool water, but the nicotine that makes my head spin.
I took the cigarette out of my pocket and lit the lighter with trembling hands.
“Me too, can I have some light?”
“Please give me just one cigarette.”
The group gathered around one by one and naturally put a lit cigarette in their mouth.
It seemed like I wasn’t the only one who needed nicotine, as everyone else smoked cigarettes in silence.
He felt that he had survived just by exhaling a few puffs of smoke.
“Brother, brother.”
But at that moment, Private Oh Chan-il, who had been unconscious, woke up with one eye fluttering open.
The ringer injection he received at the gym seemed to have had an effect, as his pale complexion had improved significantly.
“Are you coming to your senses?”
“How is it here, hyung… … .”
“I told you, I’ll come find you.”
“Jin, I didn’t know you would actually come.”
Corporal Oh Chan-il fluttered his eyes open as if he sensed his companions were nearby.
A hot tear rolled down from the corner of his eye, which was stained with blood and dirt.
Yeah, I survived.
I exhaled the cigarette smoke that filled my mouth and soothed my tired mind.
The gray city that had been looking down on all of this was still in the dawn today.
