Episode 18

A right hook with the knuckle engaged is so threatening that it wouldn’t be strange to call it a blunt weapon.

Especially if the user is a former athlete with a history of winning awards, it becomes more than just a blunt weapon; it becomes a deadly weapon.

Kwajik!

The man who was holding Private Lee Hyeon-su hostage was hit with the weapon and had his head shattered.

The exhilarating sound of bones breaking instantly drew everyone’s attention to the back.

“what!”

“Fuck! There’s another one!”

The startled men rushed at her, swinging their blunt weapons and blades at her.

Phew!

However, Jin-Kyung Kim avoided all of these with steps and weaving, and then swung her fist.

Kwajik!

The uppercut hits the chin.

The opponent, whose jawbone was suddenly broken, fell down like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

A moment of silence.

I got hit twice before I even had time to do anything.

The other two, who had been watching each other, slowly stepped back and distanced themselves from each other.

He realized that her skills, which he had rushed into without taking her lightly, were not ordinary.

“profit!”

The men who had opened up the distance turned around and started to run away without saying a word.

But I had already anticipated this, so I blocked the only escape route, the hallway, and swung my butt.

Kwajik!

With a single blow of heavy force, it can crush a human’s skull and kill them instantly.

The last one lost his will to fight at the sight of his eyes and brain popping out.

Sreung!

But from the beginning, I had not intended to subdue them, so I drew my military sword and approached them step by step.

“Save me, save me!”

A man collapses to the floor, quickly takes off his gas mask, and begins begging for his life.

“I didn’t intend to kill you from the beginning! I just wanted to take your bag and gun and send you on your way!”

Are you trying to say that it was a misunderstanding? That you didn’t intend to kill them from the beginning?

But the thick smell of blood coming from the bastard was too disgusting to believe.

“There’s no need to do this! I’ll just go! I’ll go quietly, so please save my life… … Gulp!”

Just cut the throat.

The bastard covered his throat with a face of disbelief, but soon fell limply.

After I had dealt with the last enemy cleanly, I quickly ran towards the two fallen people.

“How are the wounds?”

“I think I avoided the vital points for now.”

Kim Jin-kyung, who arrived first, was tying Private Lee Hyeon-su’s thigh with a tourniquet.

thank god.

The wound is not that deep.

Moreover, the bleeding was gradually stopping, as if the most dangerous vein had not been touched.

I sighed in relief and helped Private Oh Chan-il, who was still in a daze, to his feet.

“Let’s get out of here for now.”

Thanks to her timing, I was able to overcome a difficult situation for the time being.

But right now, treating the two people took priority over getting to their destination.

After helping the injured person, we quickly left the building and left the area completely.

* * *

Finding a safe hiding place in the middle of a densely populated village was extremely difficult.

We had no choice but to leave the city center, where there were many infected people, and head to a neighborhood park.

And I was able to hide in a place called Mokdong Community Welfare Center, located in a neighborhood park.

“Ugh… … .”

“Just bear with it for a little longer.”

The only good thing is that it is a government-run building, so it has basic medical equipment.

Kim Jin-kyung, who laid Private Lee Hyeon-su on the bed, skillfully disinfected the wound and began treatment.

Meanwhile, I was examining the head wound of Corporal Oh Chan-il, who had just regained consciousness.

“I, I’m fine.”

“Stay still.”

Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously hurt, but he still feels dizzy due to the concussion.

I forcibly grabbed Private Ohchanil, who was trying to check the bed on the other side, and laid him down on the bed.

“It’s not Chan-il’s fault.”

“but…….”

“Let’s calm down and get our bodies ready first.”

Private Oh Chan-il finally nodded after repeated requests and lay down on the bed again.

I drew the curtains so that she could rest comfortably and then approached Kim Jin-kyung, who was undergoing treatment.

Meanwhile, she was already putting away the bloody gauze and bandages, as if she had finished all the treatment.

“This one fell asleep too.”

“Let’s go out and talk for a moment.”

We quietly left the staff break room and walked down the hallway, allowing the two of us to rest comfortably.

“Do you smoke?”

“yes.”

We sat in a corner of the hallway, exhaling deep sighs along with cigarette smoke.

It had only been two or three hours since we set off, but my body and mind felt heavy as if they were weighing a ton.

“Was the dog’s name Choco?”

“Cocoyo.”

“Oh, it’s Coco. I haven’t seen you since a while ago.”

“He’s probably hiding.”

Coco has a habit of hiding in a corner whenever she makes a mistake.

Even now, he is probably hiding somewhere, struggling alone until he feels better.

It wasn’t my fault.

I fiddled with the dog gum in my pocket to give to the guy, then turned to Kim Jin-kyung and asked.

“Are you okay, Jin-kyung?”

“It’s nothing. I’ve seen this kind of dirty stuff so many times that I thought it was the same this time.”

What on earth happened in Messenapolis to cause such a dry reaction?

Ironically, such a dry reaction was a positive factor that gave me more confidence.

“Could you please take care of two people?”

“Please?”

“I think I’ll have to go to my sister’s house alone. I’m planning to leave early tomorrow.”

“Isn’t it dangerous to be alone?”

“There’s less than 500m left. I’ll be back soon.”

Private Lee Hyeon-su was stabbed in the thigh, and Corporal Oh Chan-il also showed symptoms of a concussion.

It wasn’t a wound that would heal in a day or two, so I needed to rest for the time being.

Since it had come to this, I was planning to let the group rest for a while and finish up by myself.

“Now you’re even making me a nanny.”

“They are friends with gentle hearts, so they are adapting well. Please just watch over them.”

“… … I was just joking. Don’t worry about me and be careful over there.”

Kim Jin-kyung put out her cigarette with a cynical expression and handed me a walkie-talkie from her pocket.

The radio was a lightweight, 5W portable radio that she had taken with her when she escaped from home.

“If anything happens, contact me with this.”

“Thank you.”

I packed a handy radio in my pocket and gave him all the cigarettes I had in return.

Jin-kyung Kim snickered at this and went into another room, saying she would go and rest first.

I finished smoking the cigarette I was holding and called out to someone hiding down there.

“Coco.”

At that moment, Coco, who had been wandering around the dark stairs, came over, wagging her drooping tail.

I petted the wet-eyed guy and gave him the dog gum I always carry with me.

“It’s not your fault.”

Squeak… … .

If it weren’t for this kind and smart hunting dog, I wouldn’t have made it this far alive.

I readily expressed my gratitude for the guy’s dedication and asked him to guide me through my itinerary for tomorrow.

Hehe!

Coco, who quickly regained her energy, lifted her front paws and spun around as if to tell others to trust her.

In this city filled with colorlessness, Coco was the only one who still had some color.

* * *

When I told Private Oh Chan-il and Private Lee Hyeon-su that I was going to my sister’s house alone, they were initially against it.

But when I told them the current situation and the amount of time it had been delayed, they seemed to have no choice but to accept it.

Because they saw with their own eyes how disastrous the consequences of being late can be.

Instead, the two men willingly gave up their equipment and promised to rush to the call whenever they were called.

So, at 6 AM, I left the park with Coco, having been seen off from the early morning.

Hooooooooo – – -!!

The temperature plummeted to the point where it felt like we hadn’t had a cold day like this in nearly 10 years.

On top of that, the snow was falling so hard that my hands and feet were shaking even when I just stood there for a little while.

At this point, I have to worry about whether I can even see ahead of me, let alone ride a bike.

Eventually, I got off my bike and had to walk down the road carrying Coco, who was sinking deep in the snow.

Kkeuggeuk, woof!

Kiik… … .

The only silver lining is that the snowstorm has slowed down the movements of the infected.

I wonder if the noise of this tearing wind is confusing them.

I returned to the alley, avoiding the crowd of infected people who were just staring at the sky.

Hehe!

At that moment, Coco, who was walking ahead, looked around as if she smelled a certain scent.

I happened to feel someone’s gaze, so I followed that gaze and looked around the surrounding officetel buildings.

‘person.’

As expected, the survivors who had not yet died were peeking through the gap in the curtains.

But they didn’t have the courage to come out, so they soon closed the curtains and disappeared one by one.

Rescue teams that never come, electricity that could run out at any time, and food that’s running low.

Those who survived with only one wall left were withering away in the desert of the city.

Squeak… … .

Why don’t humans play with me? Coco, disappointed, finally looked up at me with a sullen look.

I continued walking, avoiding the pouring gazes and eyes while patting the guy’s head.

After some time had passed, I saw a sign that said ‘Lotte Castle’ in the distance.

At that moment, the voice of my older sister, a memory I had briefly forgotten, passed by my ears.

‘Daesuya! It’s here!’

When my older sister first bought an apartment, she called me to a cafe while I was on vacation.

And during that time, he bragged endlessly about how hard he worked to earn money and how much Yebin was happy when she got her first room.

But it seems he didn’t just want to show off his house, because at the end he shed tears and said that he wanted to live here with him.

What was so cute about his younger sibling, who had never helped him in his entire life, that he wanted to take care of him?

And why did I forget that?

At the time, I remembered my older sister crying when I had no choice but to refuse her.

And as time passed… … .

Finally got here.

Crunch!

Private Lee Hyeon-su willingly gave up his K-2 rifle and stuck a sharpened bayonet into it.

The pistol he had brought along was weighing down his shoulder, but it wasn’t heavy at all.

Finally, after checking all the ammunition, I finally entered the apartment’s main entrance.

Next to the building that appeared to be the management office was a sign with a map of the apartment complex.

‘Building 101, Room 1305.’

Unfortunately, my sister’s house, building 101, was the furthest from the main gate through which I entered.

But since it was only about 100 meters, I just walked straight along the path.

Sabak, sabak.

He walks down a snowy road where no one has passed, his gun held at arm’s length, ready to be brandished at any moment.

Coco, who had become more cautious, followed me, her nose fluttering constantly.

Kkeuggeuk, woof!

The front door and entrance to the apartment were so quiet that it was as if nothing had happened.

But as I went deeper, an all too familiar noise brushed past my ears.

I quickly hid next to the playground slide and started looking for the source of the sound.

Kkeuggeuk, woof!

Kiik… … !

Several infected people were loitering around the only access road leading to Building 101.

The number is a whopping eight.

It was a scale that would have originally required finding a completely different route or luring them in the opposite direction.

Grrrr… … .

But judging by Coco’s sharp reaction, it seemed like this wasn’t the only road where the infected were spread out.

I have to deal with it and go.

I made a quick decision and stood up, looking at the sharp tip of the greatsword.

The man the greatsword was shining on was not a loser who had been running away, but someone’s uncle.
