Episode 49

The snowstorm is particularly bad today, so most noises are drowned out by the wind.

To move this many infected people, there would have to be a cause at least as loud as a gunshot.

But we never heard anything like that, nor did we feel any particular signs.

If it weren’t for Coco, we probably wouldn’t have even known that the infected were moving.

That’s one thing.

This is a special individual I met in Gwacheon.

Only he could move so many infected in this blizzard.

My sister is in danger.

The moment the intricately pieced puzzle began to come together, my heart became even more anxious.

Knock, knock, knock!

I was already way over my pace and had been sprinting for about 10 minutes.

The group was unable to keep up with the speed and eventually had to send radio messages.

But I can’t wait.

I bucked against the blizzard that was lashing out at my legs and lungs, appealing to their limits.

Only the occasional runway light let me know I was on the right path.

After running for a while like that, I started to see a structure with lights on in the distance.

I quickly stopped in my tracks, took out my telescope, and looked at the cargo terminal.

Kyaaaaaaaah-!!

In front of the building, a large number of infected people were already gathered, blocking the area.

Without outside help, escaping on one’s own seemed virtually impossible.

“older brother!”

At that moment, the group that had been breathlessly chasing after them began to join them one by one.

Everyone had been running so quickly that their faces were covered in sweat and frozen eyes.

Olivia, who was especially weak, turned pale and was on the verge of collapsing.

“Mr. Daesu! Please calm down!”

Kim Jin-kyung approached me with an angry face and held me tightly as I was unable to calm down.

It is always essential to pace yourself to ensure you have enough stamina to fight your opponent.

But I forgot about that for a moment and only then was I able to catch my breath and catch my breath.

“sorry.”

But thanks to her sharp words, my sanity, which had been absent for a while, came back.

I slapped both cheeks hard and looked down at the cargo terminal with my companions.

“It hasn’t fully come together yet.”

“It’s definitely inside.”

We, who have witnessed and observed countless infected people over the years, could tell at a glance.

That is to say, they are still in an unfinished form, not yet fully densely packed.

It was worth running, as the chances of saving my sister gradually increased.

Beep-!!

At that moment, a high-pitched, ear-piercing sound began to be heard from far away.

Phew!

We hastily covered our ears, and Coco, who had excellent hearing, whined in pain.

As expected, it was a special object.

Every time the creature spat out a high-frequency sound, the infected would gather at an even faster rate.

It’s fortunate that the cargo terminal entrance is sturdy, otherwise it would have been breached long ago.

I put down the telescope I was holding and quickly calmly thought about it before speaking.

“Let’s find that guy first.”

Special entities have the characteristic of immediately gathering infected upon discovering survivors.

No matter how many different sounds we use to lure the infected, the danger will remain unless we eliminate the bastard first.

Lying flat on the floor, my companions and I began to carefully examine the crowded infected people.

“Is this the right place?”

But no matter how much I looked around the cargo terminal, I couldn’t see any special objects.

The only thing that indicated its presence was an occasional high-frequency noise coming from somewhere.

‘shit.’

Time passed by without a trace.

Even at this moment, the entrance was being destroyed.

Now it was time to really make a decision.

I closed my eyes tightly and opened them, slowly got up from my seat, and called my companions over.

“Do you all have live ammunition?”

“Yes, I have it.”

“Now… … let’s write.”

A last resort, a last bastion, live ammunition is a dangerous item that must be used with the determination to die.

But none of the party members questioned him, and just took out the rifles they were carrying and loaded them.

Crunch!

As I pushed the cartridge in and pulled the bolt, a cold knock rang in my ears.

I said, pointing to a five-story warehouse building visible across from the cargo terminal.

“The three of you, please go over there. You can shoot with the concept of gradually eliminating the infected.”

Unlike the logistics center incident, a blizzard with strong winds is now blowing.

If we assume that the current recognizable sound of the infected is -1, then its high frequency is 2, and gunshots are probably close to that, at 1.5.

The infected group had to be cleared away, bit by bit, as if removing a sand castle with flags stuck on it.

“What are you two going to do?”

“Jin-kyung and I will look for a special individual.”

While the three of them disperse the aggro with gunfire, Jin-Kyung Kim and I look for the special object.

It would have been entirely possible now, when the blowing snowstorm was drowning out all sound.

“… … Be careful, brother.”

So, the three people, led by Corporal Oh Chan-il, ran diligently towards the warehouse building.

On the other hand, Jin-kyung Kim and I, who had the best mobility, approached the cargo terminal with Coco.

Kyaaaah-!!

Only ten minutes had passed, but the number of infected people had already increased.

Of course, it wasn’t as much as a logistics center or Terminal 1 Station, but it wasn’t a number that an individual could handle.

Tension sets in.

I bit my dry lips hard.

[Arrived.]

“Shoot when you’re ready.”

At that moment, a radio message was sent informing them that three people had arrived on the opposite rooftop.

Doo doo doo-!!

As soon as the order to fire was given, a loud gunshot rang out from the rooftop across the street.

At this, some of the infected people who had gathered together began to run towards the warehouse.

Kyaaaah-!!

Bullets mixed with red tracers rained down on the running men.

But as hundreds more infected people joined in, the firepower became meaningless.

While the three of you are spreading the aggro, you need to figure out where the special entity is.

Jin-Kyung Kim and I began to frantically examine the groups of infected people splitting in two.

“Can you see something?”

“No, there isn’t any here either.”

“shit!”

But no matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t see any special entities screaming.

This meant that they were hiding inside buildings or in blind spots out of sight.

There isn’t much time.

At most, 5 minutes left?

Cold sweat flowed down my forehead without me knowing, dripping down the bridge of my nose.

Time passed by so quickly that there was finally about a minute left.

I had no choice but to load my shotgun and run to the cargo terminal.

Growl!

But at that moment, Coco, who had taken off her gag on her own, bit my collar and pulled me.

Unlike the last time at the Gwacheon Logistics Center, the guy was burning with a sense of victory.

Hehe!

Coco wagged her tail again with her bright eyes as if to tell me to trust her.

I can do it!

After thinking about it for a moment, I took off his shoes so he could run freely.

“… … Please.”

Hehe!

Then Coco got up from her seat as if she had been waiting and ran towards the cargo terminal.

Kim Jin-kyung and I also quickly followed behind and broke down the gray boundary.

Doo doo doo-!!

The protection continued.

The world was filled with black bands and pouring red flares that they had created.

We managed to squeeze our way through the narrow passage and reach the terminal.

Hehe!

But Coco, having smelled it, ran towards the other side instead of entering the building.

Behind the cargo terminal there was a parking lot filled with air cargo and forklifts.

Kkaaaaaaah-!!

Once again, a high-frequency sound pierced my ears.

The distance has become much closer.

“hey!”

As I turned my head to follow the sound, I noticed one individual walking alone.

The thing was circling the building and screaming as if it sensed a human presence.

It’s a special object.

Crunch!

I quickly pulled out my loaded crossbow and pulled the trigger at the bastard.

Kwajik!

“shit!”

But there were so many infected around the entity that Bolt ended up hitting someone else.

Kyaaaah-!!

“Mr. Daesu!”

Perhaps because we were so close, the infected people around us noticed our presence.

The screaming men pushed their way through the narrow passageway filled with vehicles and supplies.

“Push in!”

Kwajik!

There’s nothing we can do about it now that it’s come to this.

Jin-Kyung Kim and I ran towards the incoming infected and swung our weapons like crazy.

Even though it was a situation where two people had to fight dozens of them, the distance gradually narrowed.

Boom! Crunch!

But the entrance to the cargo terminal, which had been barely holding on, was eventually breached.

The infected rushed in, and the special entities followed behind.

Wrong.

If we continue like this, we’ll miss it.

My whole body was covered in black blood and flesh, and I felt dizzy.

“Eww-!!”

At that moment, Jin-kyung Kim, who had been running through the crowd of infected people, let out a loud scream.

Kuung!

And then he forcefully slammed into a large cargo pile on one side, causing it to collapse in its entirety.

Gurrrrrr!

Boom!

The parking lot was left in ruins as piled up cargo and forklifts collapsed one after another.

Kim Jin-kyung, who had blocked the rear in an instant, shouted at me while collapsing the remaining cargo.

“Go! Hurry up!”

“Ms. Jin-kyung!”

“I’ll stop it, so go!”

There is no time to think.

I ran towards the building without a moment’s hesitation.

Kyaaaah-!!

Taaak!

Taaak!

He pulled out a pistol in one hand and shot and killed all the infected who rushed at him.

At the same time, I quickly chased after the special object through the emergency exit where the lights were flashing.

Phew!

It is visible.

That guy screaming over there!

Kyaaaah-!!

Time slows down again.

A solid line-like path began to form between the infected who spotted me and rushed towards me.

Taaak!

Shoot.

Crunch!

Bego.

Kyaaaaak!

Avoid.

I ran the distance of about 50 meters in an instant and finally arrived right in front of the bastard’s nose.

Squeak!

At that moment, the special entity that reacted opened its mouth to scream.

Crunch!

In a short moment of 0.5 seconds, I ran forward and aimed my pistol at the guy.

Boom!

Boom!

The field of vision narrows.

All sounds disappeared and only the sound of my heartbeat began to ring in my ears.

The moment the crosshairs are aligned,

I put all my strength into the trigger.

Taaak!

The bullet fired hit the bastard’s throat, wiping out the source of the sound.

Phew!

Instead of screaming, the special entity vomited black blood, and soon its gray eyes opened wide.

Phew!

The pupils reflect the blade like a mirror.

I quickly closed the distance, grabbed the bastard by the hair, and stabbed him deeply in the neck with my broadsword.

Kkwaduk!

And it didn’t stop there, he broke the cervical vertebrae, completely separating the head from the body.

Phew!

I was breathing heavily and shot all the remaining infected before replacing the cartridge case.

My legs were shaking and I felt dizzy, as if my physical strength was almost at its limit.

[Brother! The crowd has cleared!]

Private First Class Oh Chan-il, who was looking down at the terminal from the rooftop on the fifth floor, sent an urgent radio message.

“Get out of there!”

With the special entity gone, these numerous infected will now chase after other sounds.

The three people who had been so eye-catching escaped through a previously planned escape route.

Now all I have to do is save my sister.

I forced my trembling legs to move and tried to enter the cargo terminal.

[Huh, huh? Hey hey hey! Brother! People are coming out!]

“yes?”

But at that moment, Private Oh Chan-il, who was running away, shouted urgently as if he had discovered something.

[It’s like you, sister! She’s running away now! Shit, we’ll go there too!]

That something was none other than my sister and the refugees who were trapped inside the cargo terminal.

When he realized that someone was coming to help him, he tried to escape through another exit.

But at that time, the three people who had been firing shots were running away.

The timing was just off.

I ran back the way I came and ran out of the cargo terminal.

“Mr. Daesu!”

“This way!”

Jin-kyung Kim, who happened to be listening to the radio transmission, hurriedly ran over and joined them.

We stood shoulder to shoulder and mustered up all our strength to run to where my sister was.

Huh, gasp!

I reached my physical limit to the point where I could no longer run properly.

But he pushed the wood into the flames that were about to go out beyond that limit.

Faster.

A little faster than this!

The soul, now burnt to a pulp and nothing but ashes, screamed one last time.

Jin-Kyung Kim and I ran through this world filled with gray, throwing off the restraints of the apocalypse.

“… … !”

At that moment, white shapes appeared.

On the runway in front of the terminal, there were about 10 people running in a line.

Kyaaaah-!!

And then, a group of infected people whose aggro had been released were chasing after them terribly.

A moment of imminent danger.

My gaze naturally turned to a small woman at the very back.

She continued her difficult escape, supporting those who were falling behind.

The face hidden under the hood is revealed.

It’s a familiar face.

“Sister.”

The faint words I had wanted to say so badly flowed out quietly between my lips.

The torrent of emotions that suddenly burst out soon turned into hot breath and rose into the sky.

iced coffee!

I screamed silently.

Containing the resentment that has been held back for so long.

Containing the last bit of patience that endured and endured again.

I let everything out of my mouth.

Crunch!

He took out the shotgun he was carrying on his back and aimed at the infected who were rushing in like a blizzard.

And he broke the curtain of the past blocking his way and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Phew!

The dragon breath created by Old Man Park dispelled the darkness by oxidizing with flames.

Those who had been screaming looked at the light and remembered the one word the world had taken away.

Just hope.

Phew!

The light of the end that we missed.
