Episode 50
pop!
As the shotgun fired its dragon breath, the rushing infected were engulfed in flames.
And then he screamed as he burned with the incendiary substance all over his body.
I didn’t stop there, this time I started firing loaded buckshot at the guys.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In a melee situation, dozens and hundreds of warheads poured in, wiping out the oncoming infected.
The sister and the people were surprised by the overwhelming firepower and hesitated for a moment, but soon realized that they were being rescued and quickly turned around.
I poured the remaining ammunition into the infected so that they could join me.
Crunch!
As soon as I emptied the cartridges in an instant, I took out the bullets from the belt and reloaded.
Click! Click! Click!
Even while pushing in the bullets, he kept his eyes on his surroundings to assess the situation.
‘There is still a chance.’
Our current position is in the middle of the runway, and they’re moving in this direction by the minute.
Now, the only way left is to push them away with the firepower we have and escape to the boarding gate.
Crunch!
After finishing reloading, I tried to pull the trigger again towards the infected who had already closed the distance.
“older brother!”
But at that moment, the three people who had followed me here joined me at an exquisite timing.
As soon as they approached me, they unleashed a powerful barrage of firepower on the infected.
Doo doo doo doo doo-!!
In these pushback situations, there is no weapon more powerful than the rapid-fire K-2 rifle.
After emptying out the two magazines, I finally had some room to move.
“Take care of the people first!”
I instructed my group to take care of the people and then ran hurriedly in the opposite direction.
In the meantime, the three of them gathered up their sister and the others and began to make their way to the boarding gate.
“Ms. Jin-kyung!”
“Leave the rest to me and shoot!”
It’s an open area on all sides, so the moment you allow a blind spot, you’ll be surrounded by them.
Kim Jin-kyung faithfully covered those gaps and helped me focus on shooting.
Boom!
Boom!
Old Man Park’s specially modified buckshot literally tore them apart.
The Benelli shotgun let out a rough roar as if it was going to take out all the humiliation it had suffered.
How many times did he pull the trigger? There were only bullet casings and corpses strewn around him.
“Let’s go too!”
Kim Jin-kyung, whose whole body was covered in blood and flesh, hurriedly grabbed me as I staggered.
We were racing down a long runway, chasing after people who had already run far away.
I can see the boarding gate over there.
The light was getting closer.
“Ahh!”
But at that moment, my older sister, who was running at the very back of the line, tripped on something and fell.
Below, an infected person whose lower body had been blown away was clutching his ankles.
Taaak!
I calmly pulled out my pistol and blew off the head of the guy who was trying to bite my ankle.
There are no clichés.
He quickly carried his sister, who was complaining of pain, and started running towards the boarding gate again.
Kwak!
At that moment, a pair of limp arms grabbed my neck.
When I think about how I managed to hold on with just these tiny arms, my eyes start to tremble.
“Thank you, sir.”
The older sister spoke in a trembling voice, as if she had never even imagined that her younger brother would come.
I thought about what to say, then I just laughed, my breath coming in.
It reminds me of when I was young.
Whenever my drunk father tried to beat my siblings and I, my older sister would always carry me on her back and run out of the house like this.
At that time, the back was so strong that I didn’t have any worries when I closed my eyes.
But where did those childhood days go, and now I was running through the snow carrying my older sister on my back.
I will never miss it again.
I put strength into the arms I was carrying and continued to run down the runway through the blizzard.
[Brother! This is the last bullet!]
At that moment, an urgent radio transmission came from Private Oh Chan-il, who was clearing the path ahead.
Finally, I ran out of ammo.
In fact, it’s a miracle that we’ve made it this far, so we can’t leave it to luck any longer.
I shouted at the three people to keep running and then called out to Kim Jin-kyung, who was running with them.
“Ms. Jin-kyung!”
“Leave it to me.”
And then he naturally handed over his sister, who he was carrying, to her and took out the shotgun again.
At that moment, my older sister, who remembered my voice, opened her eyes wide and grabbed my arm.
“Daesu… … Hey? Are you Daesu?”
It was only then that we met face to face.
I took off my hat, which was covered in snowflakes and blood, and held his trembling hands tightly.
Then my older sister made a face of disbelief and soon started shedding tears like chicken poop.
That’s enough.
Because everything was explained with tears.
“Let’s go, Jin-kyung.”
“yes!”
“That’s great!”
I left my sister behind, who was reaching out her hand urgently, and ran back towards the infected person.
Kyaaaah-!!
The buckshot is now all gone, and all that remains are the special incendiary grenades that Old Man Park made for us.
I once again poured out my flames towards the swarm of infected that was advancing towards me.
Boom!
Boom!
When a person crosses a limit and reaches the extreme, his senses slowly begin to dull.
I was clearly pulling the trigger, but I felt nothing, as if I was dreaming.
Are you thinking?
Are you judging correctly?
No, right now I was just fighting with the instinct not to let those guys go back.
I looked straight into the brightly burning flame and poured out the last of my strength.
Click, click!
But at that moment, the trigger seemed to have been caught on a rock and would not be pulled.
When I checked the condition of the gun later, I found that the muzzle was red hot because it couldn’t withstand the incendiary bullet.
Taaak!
Taaak!
I quickly pulled out my pistol and fired at the infected closing in on me from all sides.
The magazine was empty in an instant, and before I could even reload, the bastards were upon me.
Kwajik!
He forcibly pushed out the jaw that was trying to bite him and then thrust the greatsword under his chin.
Another one running after him also mechanically stabbed him with his greatsword, breaking his head.
The feeling in your fingertips becomes blurred.
His narrowed eyes trembled.
Covered in white snow and black blood, I continued my lonely struggle in the middle of a blizzard.
But the will that had been fading away did not go out, but rather burned more fiercely as time passed.
I was no longer afraid of the wrath of that giant infected person that had always seemed so distant.
[Mr. Daesu! You have to come now! Hurry up!]
At that moment, Jin-kyung Kim, who had escaped to the front of the boarding gate, sent the radio message that we had been waiting for so long.
I immediately turned around and ran like crazy towards the boarding gate that I could see in the distance.
The snowstorm just reached its peak.
I couldn’t see clearly ahead.
Woof woof!
But at that moment, Coco, who had come through the snowstorm, suddenly started running alongside me.
The guy acted as a compass through the hazy snowstorm, as if telling me to just follow him.
Kyaaaah-!!
The space narrows like a tide, and countless infected people rush in from all directions, reaching out.
The space we had passed through had become black, and the space we had to move forward was becoming narrower and narrower.
Only the red scarf fluttering in front of my eyes split the middle of the black paper.
please,
please!
I reached out desperately.
“Brother, over here!”
“Mr. Daesu!”
At that moment, the gray curtain blocking my vision disappeared and a bright light illuminated the world.
There were voices in the distance and countless flashlights twinkling in the snowstorm.
I can see it now.
The end of the lonely tunnel.
Crack!
The pain that had been weighing on my whole body completely disappeared, and even the shackles of regret fell off.
With these words, I pierced through the fading darkness and advanced toward the light.
The remaining 1% has finally gone down to 0%.
I mustered up the last of my remaining strength and reached out to the plane on the boarding bridge steps.
“Eww, got it!”
“One, two, three! Pull!”
At that moment, dozens of hands reached down and grabbed my arms and body.
They all hugged me tightly as if they would never let me go.
“Push!!”
Kim Jin-kyung, who was waiting at the entrance, shouted.
At that moment, the people who had rushed in joined forces and knocked the connected boarding bridge to the side.
Krrrrrr, bang!
The group of infected that had been chasing at a fierce speed were crushed by the heavy boarding bridge.
The surging black waves reached out to us, but were out of reach.
Kyaaaah-!!
The infected screamed at their prey that had escaped their sights and sank into the blizzard.
Kuung!
But when the door was finally closed, that horrible scream was no longer heard.
Everyone let out a ragged breath.
They confirm life or death by looking at each other’s faces.
Lived.
Those who barely survived hugged each other and clenched their fists.
Some people were cheering, while others were shedding tears of relief, showing genuine joy.
“Brother? Brother, why are you like that!”
But I, who was supposed to be enjoying it together, stumbled and couldn’t keep my balance.
Why is my body like this?
As the thread of consciousness that I had barely managed to hold onto snapped, a terrible feeling of exhaustion began to creep in.
No matter how hard I moved my lips, all that came out of my throat was a thin breath.
“Oh, oh …
“What are you doing! Bring me a blanket first!”
“Daesu! Come to your senses!”
The screams, shouts, and desperate cries of people gradually disappear into the tinnitus.
The sight of my crying sister and the anxious group flashed by in an instant through my blurred vision.
And the journey that may have been like a revolving lantern left me with overwhelming hope rather than regret.
You really did it.
I did it… … .
I squeezed out the last of my strength and grabbed my sister’s hand, which was covered in tears.
It was still warm.
* * *
Sometimes I think about this.
If I hadn’t been born into a poor family, I wonder if I could have lived happily.
If my father had loved me even a little, wouldn’t I have been able to love someone too?
Books instead of guns, friends instead of competitors, loving family instead of dying comrades… … .
For me, who had always had to live in the shadows, this kind of ordinariness was a desperate desire.
But looking back, there was one thing that was more ordinary than anything else about Jang Dae-su.
It’s family.
My older sister and Yebin were the only unsullied ordinariness in my blood-stained life.
Maybe that was the ordinariness I was looking for in this apocalypse.
“……ah.”
Consciousness, which I thought would remain buried deep in sleep forever, suddenly returned.
I forced myself to open my eyes, which felt heavy as if they were covered in dust, and slowly tried to raise my upper body.
Phew!
The first thing I felt was a severe muscle pain that ran through my entire body and a parched thirst.
I instinctively looked for water, and happened to find a water bottle that someone had left next to the bed.
Gulp, gulp.
As I quickly drank it, my thirst subsided and I sighed on my own.
When I came to my senses, I turned my head and looked around the bed where morning had already come.
‘There’s no one but me.’
It looked like the staff break room where we were hiding, but everyone had left behind their luggage and disappeared.
The group must be equally tired, so where did they go in such a hurry without resting more?
I forced my creaking body to get up from the bed.
Squeak.
But at that moment, the door to the break room, which had been tightly closed, opened and someone came inside.
That someone was none other than our older sister, who still retained her old appearance.
“oh.”
My sister came over and sat down with a surprised look on her face, as if she hadn’t expected me to be awake already.
“Why don’t you rest a little longer?”
“Sister?”
“How are you feeling?”
And as always, with a worried look on her face, she pushed back my bangs and stroked my forehead.
I’m already approaching middle age, but I still treat myself like a child.
“Sister, are you hurt anywhere?”
“Well, I was just a little bit touched.”
“Rice.”
“We ate first.”
I thought we would just shed endless tears when we suddenly met again, but we talked naturally as if we had seen each other yesterday.
Was it because my older sister was still as affectionate as ever and I was still as messy as ever?
The things I wanted to say and the things I couldn’t say were now irrelevant.
After being silently lost in thought for a while, I finally remembered Yebin and tried to take out the photo.
“Sister, this… … .”
“Yeah, I know. Jin Kyung told me.”
“Have you said hello already?”
“Of course I should say hello to them. They are really nice people. I’ll definitely say thank you later. Okay?”
Well, it’s already morning, and you must have heard everything that happened.
I looked at the bags and equipment my companions had left behind and caressed the crumpled photographs.
Am I mistaken?
Yebin was smiling brighter today.
“Oh, right! Look at my mind. I made something with what I had. Eat it before it gets cold.”
At that moment, my older sister clapped her hands as if she had forgotten and took out a bowl from the tray she had been holding.
Inside, there was a small bowl of rice, watery porridge boiled for a long time, and soy sauce.
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at that moment and ended up laughing out loud.
Then, my older sister smiled shyly and stirred the thin porridge and soy sauce.
“Do you remember?”
“Of course. I ate a lot of it when I was young.”
Whenever my father was away from home for a month, there was always a shortage of food in the house.
However, thanks to the help of the local government office, I was able to eat some cheap government rice, but there was no suitable side dish to eat with it.
We had no choice but to solve the three meals by mixing boiled rice and soy sauce for a long time.
My older sister, who was only an elementary school student, how on earth did she get through each day?
Even after so much time has passed, I still can’t forget that miserable sight and the smell of that cramped room.
I silently picked up my spoon and took a mouthful of the steaming soy sauce porridge.
“It’s delicious.”
At first, it was nothing.
Because it was just warm and delicious porridge.
“……delicious.”
But strangely, the more I swallowed the more my vision became blurry and my eyes became hot.
I put down the spoon I was holding.
I couldn’t hold back my emotions any longer and started to cry quietly.
It was really boring.
I never wanted to eat it again.
This incredibly tangy soy sauce porridge tasted exactly like the one I ate as a child.
So, just like the young Jang Dae-su who didn’t know what was sad, he started crying just like that.
“… … Great, our great leader.”
How hard it was to get here, how arduous, and how painful it was.
Well done, you did great. Thank you for persevering and persevering, and for walking that long, thorny path.

The lonely struggle that no one could understand has come to an end here today.
“Let’s go home.”
My sister marked the end of my journey by holding my hand, which was covered in calluses and scratches.
The siblings cried for a long time that day.
Hoping I’ll never have to cry again.
