Episode 103

Sometimes it feels like everything I’ve been through is a lie.

This world suddenly changed, and I, who came all the way to Seoul to find my family…

It still doesn’t feel real that I’ve been on this journey to find Yebin and her older sister.

At the same time, I am worried that all of these things will dissipate like a mirage, a haze.

At times like that, I look up at the night sky and receive comfort from the twinkling stars.

Late at night.

I sat quietly on the terrace of my hotel, sipping a lukewarm can of beer.

Hehe!

Right next to each other, Coco and Volvo were lying face down, curled up in a furry ball.

Coco licked her healing front paw, and Volvo flapped his ears and closed his eyes.

I sipped my beer again, patting the guys who always sat next to me.

I’ve been having a hectic day recently, so after spending some time alone to reflect, I felt like my thoughts were being sorted out.

“Why are you feeling depressed all alone?”

At that moment, Kim Jin-kyung, wearing pajamas, carefully opened the veranda door and entered the terrace.

She must have been thinking the same thing as me, as she sat down naturally with a can of beer in her hand.

“Wow, nice.”

A glass of beer, albeit lukewarm, and a starry night sky.

It’s the perfect day to relieve accumulated fatigue.

Kim Jin-kyung asked me quietly, humming a tune as if she was in a good mood after a long time.

“I guess your thoughts are complicated?”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Just think about it. We didn’t use tricks or cause any damage.”

“My heart is not like that.”

“The work here has to be done by the people here now. We just have to keep going forward.”

Even though it was a short period of time, there is a bond that has been built through suffering together.

I wasn’t at ease with the thought of leaving it all behind and running away.

I was worried about who Yebin resembled, but it seems like blood is blood.

Kim Jin-kyung, who was standing next to me, seemed to have the same thought as I smiled and pushed the can of beer into her hand.

“Shall we have a toast?”

“yes.”

The last of the beer cans I used to take out one or two at a time was the one that Kim Jin-kyung secretly brought.

We clinked our beer cans and toasted, and drank with a more luxurious feeling.

I hope that my complicated heart will also be emptied like this lightly emptied content.

“huh?”

But at that moment, Jin-kyung Kim, who was enjoying her beer while laughing, suddenly tilted her head.

And then I looked outside the terrace, where the candles couldn’t light up, as if something seemed strange.

“Why is it so quiet?”

“Me?”

“No, the main campus gate. It was definitely noisy until I got here.”

The main gate was a place where the noise from the infected continued non-stop for 24 hours.

But just as Kim Jin-kyung said, at some point no noise was heard.

The silence was so deep that you could even hear the snoring of the people in the group.

Feeling something strange, I took out my telescope and started looking at the main campus gate in the distance.

“… … The attack has stopped?”

“Really?”

“Everyone is coming down from the barrier.”

The soldiers guarding the wall stopped firing and began to come down from the wall one by one.

And some people even cheered wildly and hugged each other.

They backed off?

really?

I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes and accept the results I was seeing.

Because beyond the barrier, there were no infected people swarming around, nor were there any screaming Q1s.

It was a moment when the common sense that these guys never give up came crashing down.

“It’s over, is it finished?”

“It’s over.”

The war against the infected ended without any warning or dramatic danger.

Kim Jin-kyung frowned, not knowing how to be happy for a moment.

“Well, I hope it’s over.”

“Yes, that is true.”

“I was worried anyway, so this is a relief. Let’s just leave with peace of mind.”

Yeah, we were already worried, so we were relieved that it ended well like this.

It’s good for those who stay because they’re now safe, and it’s good for those who leave because they don’t feel uneasy.

‘what?’

But strangely enough, my senses remained sharp without any brakes applied.

Like a slippery skid rut that can’t easily accept that it’s over.

“Mr. Daesu.”

“… … .”

“Mr. Daesu? Come to your senses.”

As I stood there blankly for a while, Kim Jin-kyung, unable to bear to watch any longer, shook my shoulder strongly.

“Oh, yes.”

“Are you sleepy?”

“I did it because I felt strange.”

“You’ve been doing that since last time. Shouldn’t you really take some medicine?”

Recently, I’ve been feeling strangely odd and receiving unfamiliar stares more and more often.

Was my body weak? I wondered if I should really take some medicine like Private Lee Hyeon-su said.

“I’ll go in. It’s still cold.”

“Yes, come in.”

Kim Jin-kyung, who had been observing my complexion for a while, felt the cold and turned around to go back to the dorm, shivering.

I tried to pick up the can of beer I had put down on the floor to follow him.

Hooooooooo-!!

“… … !”

But at that moment, a strong wind blew and pierced my nerves like an invisible energy.

Startled, I quickly raised my head and met my eyes with the darkness the wind had blown through.

The back of my neck feels cool.

It’s clearly the same scenery, but it’s not the same.

That stickiness, which I could only feel with my senses, was telling me something.

I knew very well what this familiarity was, because I had believed in what was felt rather than what was seen all my life.

The alarm bell is ringing.

Danger is approaching.

Instincts were writhing in the silence, alerting us to the approaching danger.

“Ms. Jin-kyung.”

I instinctively reached out and grabbed Kim Jin-kyung’s arm as she was trying to return to her lodgings.

“Go back to the dorm and wake up everyone. Then, pack all your luggage and equipment and wait for them to leave immediately. I will go to the hospital and bring Chan-il first.”

“Huh? What is that… … .”

“I know this might sound strange! But right now, you have to trust me.”

Kim Jin-kyung was surprised by the sudden change in behavior and remained silent for a while.

But soon he read the seriousness in my expression and tried to return to the accommodation immediately.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!!

But at that moment, the siren installed on the roof of the building started blaring like crazy.

At the same time, emergency lights turned on simultaneously, brightly illuminating the dark campus shelter.

The silence was broken.

But that wasn’t the end of the beginning.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

Taang! Taang! Bang!

The loud gunfire that was thought to have stopped rang out, adding to the seriousness of the situation.

The problem was that the gunshots were coming from far to the west, not from the main gate.

“Ms. Jin-kyung!”

“Okay, I get it!”

As I urged her, Kim Jin-kyung’s face turned pale and she hurriedly ran towards her lodgings.

Likewise, I followed him, quickly changed my clothes, and grabbed my weapon.

Beep!

“Coco! Volvo!”

Hehe!

As I blew a long whistle, Coco and Volvo appeared from somewhere and naturally took the lead.

I followed those two guys and ran at full speed towards the hospital where Private Oh Chan-il was.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. Why is there a siren all of a sudden… .”

People came out of their houses without knowing what was going on and started gossiping with serious faces.

But no one came forward to find out what was happening.

Meanwhile, the sirens didn’t stop, and the gunshots were getting closer.

It was obvious what it meant.

As we wasted every second, the danger was spreading like wildfire.

I made my way through the crowd of bewildered people and finally arrived at the hospital.

“Teacher, what’s going on all of a sudden?”

“Is it like training?”

Just like outside, the first floor of the hospital was crowded with patients and their guardians coming out of their wards.

Everyone was startled by the sudden siren sound, so I grabbed the nurse on duty today and asked her.

“We don’t know either.”

“No, what are you going to do if you don’t know?”

“Please calm down!”

“Be quiet and call the person in charge!”

But the nursing officers guarding this place also did not know English.

The hospital lobby was noisy with nurses and people who didn’t know what to do.

I quickly ran to the third floor ward where Private Oh was, regardless.

CLANG!

“older brother?”

As I opened the hospital room door, Chan-il Oh, who had been reading a book late into the night, woke up with a start.

Without giving me time to explain, I took the clothes I had brought from my bag and placed them on the bed.

“Change your clothes first. You have to go right now.”

“Where all of a sudden… … .”

“Hurry up!”

Corporal Oh Chan-il, startled by the shout, hurriedly began to change his clothes.

I took advantage of the gap to take out the SX3 shotgun I was carrying on my back and quickly reloaded it.

Crunch!

When a gun suddenly appeared, the faces of the patients around Ohchanil and others turned pale.

Of course, I came with the crutches and wheelchair that I had placed on one side, regardless.

“Are you done?”

“yes yes!”

“Hold on tight!”

And after finishing preparing for lunch, he carried Private First Class Oh on his back and hurried down to the first floor of the hospital.

All I could think about was getting out with my companions and family.

Clang!

Gyaaaaaaah!

But at that moment, the sound of glass breaking and a scream was heard from the hospital lobby.

People were shocked and soon saw with their own eyes who had broken the window.

Clang!

Kwajik!

Kyaaaaah!

Dozens of infected people quickly broke down the hospital door and rushed inside.

“Ouch, it’s infected!”

“Eww! Run away! Go back!”

The terrified people started screaming and running backwards without anyone saying anything.

“Ugh, ugh! Save me!”

“Eww!”

But perhaps because so many people had gathered, people were being caught here and there.

The hospital was transformed into a pandemonium in an instant, filled with blood and screams.

“Brother, brother.”

“Just wait a minute.”

I put Private Ohchan, who I was carrying, in a wheelchair and took out the shotgun I was carrying.

And without hesitation, we pulled the trigger at the infected who were running towards us.

Boom!

I quickly crushed the two infected and walked forward with my gun ready.

Perhaps because they heard the gunshots, the infected who were following the people all looked in this direction at the same time.

Kyaaaaah!

I calmly moved my gun to the left, watching the number of infected people increase in an instant.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

SX3, which drew blood and tore flesh even against Q2, which was called a nightmare.

As the gun continued to fire, dozens of infected people running towards him melted and fell in an instant.

The people who had been running away for a while were suddenly at a loss for words at the sudden situation.

“Everyone, get up on the roof! Block the stairs and hold on until help arrives!”

But that was only for a moment, as I pointed upstairs and shouted, and he came to his senses and stood up.

The nurse officer, who could be called a soldier, began to evacuate people.

“Let’s go.”

In the meantime, after finishing reloading, I left the hospital with Private First Class Oh Chan-il in a wheelchair.

Gyaaaah! Please save me!

Bang! Taang!

Explosions and gunshots could be heard throughout the shelter, and people were screaming and running away.

In just five minutes after the siren went on, infected people rushed to the center of campus.

There is not much time.

Gritting my teeth, I pushed the wheelchair towards the lodging where my companions were.

We had to get away as fast as we could before the infected started to surge east towards us.

“Brother, over there!”

But at that moment, Private Oh Chan-il, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked startled and pointed straight ahead.

There was a central road that ran through the middle of the campus shelter.

But on the road where the vehicles were supposed to travel, black waves were rolling.

Infected person.

Infected person.

Infected person.

There are only infected people.

Tens of thousands of infected people were streaming into the campus from across the western mountains.

Kkiyaaaaaaaah-!!

And at the center of that rage, the evolved Q1 was screaming and roaring.

The night of massacre has arrived.
