Episode 36
The collapse of common sense is dangerous.
Because all the preparations made with common sense crumble in an instant.
But will it end with just a simple collapse?
No, the overflowing danger will soon rise to the chin and slowly tighten the leash.
Like those infected people who fill the space like a tsunami and are gradually surging in here.
There is no time to think now.
You have to move to survive.
“What on earth is going on!”
“There’s no time to explain! Hurry up!”
The agents who woke up after hearing the high-frequency noise were at a loss at the sudden chaos.
But I woke them up and told them that the infected were coming.
“Wake up, kids!”
Sergeant Park, who was the first to grasp the situation, urged his men to prepare for battle.
The infected people who had been running from far away had already approached within 200 meters.
Thousands, no, tens of thousands. The aggro that was almost as loud as gunfire had been drawn here.
It’s already too late to run away.
We have to fight here.
“Block it from the stairs!”
The agents, who came to their senses late, moved the desks and cabinets and threw them down the stairs.
My companions and I also helped by barricading the stairs leading up.
Meanwhile, the firing team broke the window and started shooting by sticking their guns out the window.
Taang! Bang!
The refreshing sound of gunfire, which I hadn’t heard in a long time, tore through the darkness that had been filled only with screams.
The leader of the group of infected who had been running within 100 meters was torn apart by bullets and fell.
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
Meanwhile, two men carrying machine guns mounted their guns on the window and pulled the trigger.
Drrrrrr!
Knock knock! Knock knock!
At that moment, a firepower incomparable to that just before poured down, and the first line of infected people collapsed.
The gun, which had been silent for so long, roared with flames as if to vent its anger.
But after that, more waves, innumerable in number, were waiting.
“They’re coming in!”
An infected person running from the opposite direction broke through the first floor of the logistics center and entered.
“I’ll take care of it!”
After dragging the desk for a while, I quickly ran towards the stairs to the second floor with my companions.
At this moment, everyone is just a soldier, an observer, and a survivor trying to survive.
Kyaaaah-!!
Infected people who entered the first floor of the logistics center quickly surged up to the second floor.
My companions and I clenched our teeth at the terrible screams and footsteps we heard from down there.
Countless eyes flicker in the darkness, they finally reveal themselves.
Doo doo doo doo doo-!!
Corporal Oh Chan-il and I, who were waiting behind the barricade, immediately pulled the trigger.
Bullets poured out of the muzzle, slicing through the square and melting everything.
“Reload!”
Corporal Oh Chan-il, who emptied one of the magazines in an instant, hurriedly reloaded.
“Give me the gun!”
Jin-Kyung Kim, who was building a barricade next to me, took my K-2 rifle and loaded it.
Meanwhile, I switched to the shotgun I was carrying on my back and pulled the trigger again.
Boom!
Boom!
As the gun fired, the infected who were trying to climb over the barricade were torn apart.
Tight spaces, densely packed opponents, it was the perfect setting for the shotgun to show its power.
Clank, clank!
He continued to reload, frantically moving his fingers and arms while pulling the trigger.
By repeating this process like a machine, we successfully stopped the infected from rising upwards.
Kyaaaaaaaah-!!
But this was only the first aftermath, as a larger mass emerged.
Our faces, soaked with the smell of gunpowder and sweat, tried to aim our red-hot guns again.
“Get out of the way!”
But at that moment, Sergeant Park, who had rushed here, took out a K201 grenade launcher.
He calmly loaded the grenade and fired it at the crowd of infected that was soon swarming around him.
Phong!
Behind the deafening gunshot sound.
Kwaaaaang!
There was a huge explosion.
The guys who had been rushing in in a single chunk were suddenly caught in the explosion and debris and turned into chunks of meat.
ping!
Sergeant Park didn’t stop there, he unloaded two grenades side by side and rolled them down the stairs.
“Bow down!”
I quickly hugged Private Oh Chan-il and Jin-kyung Kim and lay flat on the floor.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Then, a huge explosion of sound incomparable to anything before came along with the aftershock.
Knock knock!
We barely came to our senses in the thick dust and quickly got up from our seats.
At the bottom of the stairs was a pile of barricades and tangled corpse fragments.
I bought some time.
But, in contrast to the growing number of infected people, our ammunition was dwindling.
After quickly reloading, I shouted at Sergeant Park, who was out of breath.
“To the rooftop!”
The logistics center is already surrounded, so the only place to escape is the rooftop.
Sergeant Park and the men, who naturally followed my instructions, retreated one by one.
“older brother!”
“Go first and take a seat!”
So I sent my men up first and aimed my loaded rifle again.
Kyaaaah-!!
In the meantime, several infected people who had crawled in through the corpse crawled back up the stairs.
Knock knock!
Knock!
He changed the gun to a volley and fired precise shots at the approaching men.
The three processes of aiming, aligning, and firing began to flow like water.
rebound.
rebound.
rebound.
I aimed mechanically, pulled the trigger mechanically, and blew up the head.
As time went by, the speed became faster and faster, and all consciousness was focused solely on shooting.
Amidst the muzzle flash and the red-glowing tracer bullets, all I could feel was the recoil.
“What are you doing! Come quickly!”
But at that moment, Sergeant Park, who I thought had gone first, hurriedly grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in.
When I came to my senses, the next wave was already pushing the corpses and barricades.
I jumped up from my seat, hurriedly grabbed my gun, and ran down the hallway with him.
Kwaaang!
At that moment, a crowd of infected people who had been crowded together pushed their way in, and the stairs were breached.
They weren’t running, but were quickly rising, thrusting their bodies into each other.
Kyaaaaaaaah-!!
Blind malice.
Hatred that has no end in sight.
In the midst of the black, rippling mass, red eyes were glaring at us.
Phew, whoosh!
Sergeant Park and I ran down the black passageway that was narrowing in real time and headed towards the rooftop stairs.
“Sergeant Park! Here you go!”
Just in front of the stairs, two sweaty agents were gesturing hastily.
ping!
As soon as we passed safely, they pulled out the pins of grenades and threw them at us as if they had been waiting for us.
Phew-!!
The grenade rolled between the infected’s legs and soon exploded with a loud bang.
Sergeant Park and I arrived at the rooftop, taking advantage of the approaching aftershock, and rolled on the floor.
Huh, gasp!
I was running so fast that I was out of breath and had a hard time breathing.
We immediately locked the rooftop door and tied the handle with a strong rope.
Doo doo doo doo doo-!!
On the rooftop, a crossfire was taking place against the incoming infected.
A huge wave of infected people with no end in sight, and red flares pouring down on them.
The two obsessions, to live or to kill, intersected and swayed beneath the streetlights.
Kyaaaaaaaah-!!
Kuung!
At that moment, the infected who had managed to get up to the rooftop began pounding on the iron door like crazy.
It’s made of steel so it won’t break easily, but the problem is the hinges that connect it to the concrete.
As the impact continued, the connecting part began to fall apart and fall apart.
“How much ammo do we have left!”
“There’s not much left now!”
As if that weren’t enough, the machine gun that had been providing firepower fell silent as its ammunition ran out.
Now that the riflemen were running out of ammunition, all they had left were melee weapons.
A gloom of resignation began to creep into the faces of the struggling agents and their companions.
It’s a risk we’ve experienced countless times.
There must be a way this time too.
Even while I was frantically pulling the trigger, I looked around the rooftop diligently.
‘Ventilation vent?’
At that moment, I discovered a huge ventilation fan installed on one side of the rooftop along with an outdoor air conditioner unit.
Bang!
I hurried over, ripped open the locked vent cover, and shined my flashlight inside.
A ventilation shaft, barely large enough for one person to fit through, was connected to the interior of the building.
“Sergeant Park!”
I quickly called out to Corporal Park and pointed to the vent, and he quickly caught on to my intentions.
“Mr. Chan-il! Ms. Jin-kyung!”
And I quickly called my men, and Sergeant Park called the lower-ranking members first.
In order to save even one more person, both sides had to flee to the other side.
“What are you going to do, brother?”
“We’re going somewhere else! Let’s go in first and hide!”
Since we met alive last time, we will definitely meet alive this time too.
I tried to send Private Oh Chan-il and Jin-gyeong Kim away, hesitating with an empty promise.
Crossing bullets.
Crossing emotions.
Things were finally coming to an end.
Woof woof! Woof!
But at that moment, Coco put his front paws on the rooftop railing and started barking like crazy.
The guy seemed to be shouting to someone to please save us, that we were here.
After pulling the trigger for a while, our gaze turned to the road far away, shrouded in darkness.
“……truck?”
A 40-ton trailer truck of enormous size burst through the traffic.
The truck showed off its presence with its headlights flashing like a giant beast.
Booooooooo-!!
Kwak! Kwung!
The windows were converted to iron bars, and the front of the truck was reinforced with pointed steel panels.
The truck, boasting overwhelming mass, raced towards us, cutting through the crowd of infected.
Squeak, thud!
And soon I parked next to the outer wall overlooking the rooftop and turned on the lights on all sides.
In a world filled with darkness, there was a single ray of light called hope.
“This way! Hurry up!”
At that moment, the top door of the trailer opened and men in military uniforms appeared.
They were none other than the three missing members of the reconnaissance team who were presumed dead.
Where the hell did you come from?
No, but before that, what the heck is that truck?
At that moment, countless questions came to my mind, but that wasn’t what was important right now.
“Bring me the rope!”
Sergeant Park and I immediately took the rope out of our bags and threw it onto the dump truck.
The reconnaissance team on the trailer quickly grabbed the rope and safely secured it to the hook.
“Cover him! Cover him so he can’t come!”
The team members who were burning the last flame on the rooftop immediately ran towards the rope.
And he shot and killed the infected around the trailer truck so that they could go down one by one.
One person.
One person.
And one more.
As the team descended the rope, the steel door on the roof that had been blocking the infected shook.
“It’s piercing!”
After confirming that the hinge was fully opened, I quickly shouted and turned the gun.
Kwaaaaang-!!
At that moment, the iron door was ripped open and a horde of infected people poured out.
We retreated further and further, concentrating our firepower on the rushing men.
Pull the trigger.
Fall down.
After that, more guys come rushing in.
The already narrow gap gradually narrowed, and conversely, the number of people remaining on the rooftop also decreased.
When I came to my senses, only Sergeant Park and I were left, shooting like crazy.
“Brother! I can’t stand it anymore!”
At that moment, Private Oh Chan-il, who had gone down with Kim Jin-gyeong, called out to me desperately.
The crowd of infected that had entered the building was now rushing towards the truck.
So I quickly turned around and tried to run to the back of the rooftop where the rope was.
“shit!”
But unfortunately, Sergeant Park, who had been blocking the retreat route until the very end, ended up getting jammed in his gun.
Kyaaaaah!
He quickly pulled the bolt and ejected the bullet, but was unable to stop the running infected and fell.
At the critical moment when Sergeant Park was about to be bitten, I quickly pulled the trigger and shot him.
Taang!
Then he went back the way he came, picked up Sergeant Park who had fallen, and pulled out his shotgun.
“Run, you little bear!”
Adrenaline is pumping.
My heart is pounding like crazy.
I fired my shotgun at the infected who were running towards me with silent screams.
Boom!
A hole is made in the black waves.
Boom!
The muzzle flame flashes before my eyes.
At this moment, I felt neither fear, nor excitement, nor even the realization that I was dying.
I was an insignificant dot, facing the crashing waves head-on.
Woof woof!
At that moment, Coco climbed up onto the railing and barked madly, signaling me to come quickly.
Brrrrrr!
The trailer truck, barely holding on, let out a loud engine noise and its lights flashed.
I turned around and started running in the direction the light was pointing.
Kyaaaah-!!
The darkness is closing in.
Conversely, light gets closer.
I was a thin line, dividing the light and darkness this time too.
In this moment, when death might be imminent, I felt more alive than ever.
Ouch!
I quickly grabbed Coco, who was running towards me, and jumped down from the rooftop railing with all my might.
I feel a sense of floating.
Time passes slowly.
The moment the trailer truck gradually approached her, Kim Jin-kyung jumped and shouted.
“Take it!!!”
The party, Sergeant Park, and all the other members flew towards me and created a landing zone.
thud!
I fell right in between them, and we became one lump and held each other.
The trailer truck, its engine roaring once again, advanced through the infected.
“You crazy bastard!”
When I opened my eyes, I saw Kim Jin-kyung crying and the faces of other people.
Only then did I let out the breath I had been holding and burst out laughing.
Wow,
Did you really almost die?
