Episode 5

On a quiet night, snowflakes start to fall from the sky, like threads cut from the sky.

And between the black and white, something in the shape of a human quickly burst through.

Kyaaaaah!

They roar.

No, it howls terribly.

A group of infected people looked up at the sky and expressed their anger.

The reason is unknown.

But anyone could feel that the root of it all was primal hatred.

Taang! Bang!

Now the few remaining soldiers run outside, pulling the trigger again and again.

Most of the bullets penetrated them, despite being fired without proper aim.

But you have to get your head together.

Only by completely separating the head and body could the horrible being be stopped.

Aaaah!

Hey, start it! Quickly!

Unfortunately, the panicked soldiers never got to that point.

As they ran towards the two-donban, they were eventually caught one by one by the infected who rushed towards them.

Kkaaaak!

The neck is bitten. Then, clothes are ripped off, flesh is torn, and intestines spill out.

Disgusting pieces of intestines with blood flowing out and white steam rising up.

It didn’t take long for their screams to fade into the darkness.

Kyaaaaak!

The horde of infected that had slaughtered the soldiers in an instant burst through the checkpoint like overflowing water.

‘It’s the end.’

Honestly, I thought that this level of firearms and military force would be enough to stop them.

However, the cohesion of the infected and the speed of infection far exceeded expectations.

Vroom!

I was watching the situation from afar, and eventually started the engine and put it in reverse.

The moment the road that thousands of refugees had gathered on was cleared, it was safe to say that this area was finished.

Before the infection spreads further, we need to move to a different area or find a detour.

Kikkik!

I quickly distanced myself from the checkpoint and tried to turn the vehicle around and get off the road.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

But at that moment, Coco, who had been fidgeting, runs to the backseat and barks.

The guy was reacting differently than usual and was barking madly at something.

I absentmindedly looked at the rearview mirror.

In the middle of the road, two soldiers were following the vehicle, waving their flashlights madly.

Were there any survivors? I squinted my eyes to confirm their identities.

Familiar. They were none other than Corporal Oh Chan-il and Private First Class who had informed me of the support.

“Please, save me!”

Perhaps thanks to the quick-witted sergeant, the two returned here before the checkpoint was breached.

But behind them, a huge group of infected people were pursuing them at a furious pace.

Booooooooo – – -!!

The worries were short.

Finally, I stepped on the brakes, changed gears again, and started to move back quickly.

The distance of about 100 meters narrowed in an instant, and the two ran desperately towards the car.

CLANG!

I opened the back door for them to get in, then got out of the car with my gun.

The group of infected people that had been running from afar had now come within 100 meters.

“Ahh!”

But at that moment, the private who was running dangerously fell to the ground.

He flailed his body, complaining of pain as if his right ankle had been sprained.

“Oh, oh …!”

In an already urgent situation, I ended up making a mistake that I absolutely should not have made.

The corporal, panicking, looked back and forth between me getting out of the car and the infected closing in on me.

“Bring it! What are you doing!”

But I shouted at the hesitating sergeant and ran forward instead.

The sergeant who only then came to his senses ran towards his fallen subordinate and quickly helped him up.

Phew!

Meanwhile, the infected people closed the distance.

After confirming the target in my sights, I quickly adjusted the buttstock and aimed the gun.

pop!

I pulled the trigger. With a heavy gunshot, the infected running ahead collapsed.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he fires a slug straight into the center of the forehead.

Phew!

pop!

The process of pulling the trigger and aiming at another target continues skillfully.

Rising bullets!

A heavy recoil pushed my shoulder.

Kyaaaaak!

“It’s dangerous!”

But perhaps because I was momentarily blinded by the muzzle flash, one of the infected cleverly avoided the firing range and ran towards me, trying to pounce on me.

Woof woof!

Coco, who had been hiding under the bridge, jumps out as if she had been waiting and attacks the infected targeting me.

The guy must have remembered the order not to bite, because he quickly loses his balance and runs away.

Kwajik!

Meanwhile, I quickly got into position and swung the buttstock and hit the bastard on the head.

“Get in the car!”

The corporal, who had been staring blankly at the sight, hurriedly ran to the car with his junior.

After killing all the infected who were running ahead, I followed behind and got into the driver’s seat.

“I got on!”

“Eww! They’re coming!”

As soon as I got in the car, I shifted into gear again and floored the accelerator.

Ki-ki-ki-ki!

The tires spin in vain, leaving a skid.

But fortunately, the light car gave up its last ounce of strength and we started moving forward.

Kyaaaaak!

A group of infected people who had been following behind chased the vehicle, but soon the distance grew longer.

I glanced back at the checkpoint and the downhill road, which had become a mess, through my rearview mirror.

Flames rose in the dark sky, and among them, the infected were howling.

The resonance of evil, the flesh that was left with only instincts could only be described as evil.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes?”

“Are you okay?”

“It seems okay… ….”

The two who had just come back from the dead were still shivering and not yet come to their senses.

Well, it looks like neither of them have any infected areas, as Coco doesn’t seem to be responding.

Only then did I relax and place the pistol I was holding in my arms on the passenger seat.

“Gun, where did you get a gun?”

“Keep quiet and look around. If you see anything suspicious, you should go back immediately.”

If the infection starts at the back of the road, it means the blockade has already been breached.

It’s not safe here, so you have to look carefully at the side of the road or the entrance to the tunnel.

“excuse me…….”

While I was feeling very nervous, Private Oh Chan-il spoke to me again.

“What now?”

“Thank you so much for what happened earlier.”

But it wasn’t a question or a complaint, it was just a simple thank you for saving my life.

I made eye contact with the sergeant through the rearview mirror and eventually sighed and nodded.

“Do you know where the nearest unit is?”

“I know where the other checkpoints are.”

“I’ll go there. Please guide me.”

The corporal, who had been observing the situation, carefully moved over to the passenger seat and received the map I offered.

And after looking at the map for a moment, he quickly figured out his current location and guided him along the way.

The snowfall is getting heavier.

The car that had entered the side road was slowly sinking into the darkness without streetlights.

* * *

Growl.

“fizzle.”

I lay flat in the bushes and grabbed Coco’s snout as he growled.

Then the boy whined and wagged his tail as if he was sorry.

After catching my breath, I raised the scope again and looked at the road below.

‘quiet.’

The current location is on the national road near Yanghwacheon, approximately 25km away from the first checkpoint.

According to Private First Class Oh Chan-il’s words, a company-sized force should have been guarding this place.

But on the road, there were only cars and infected people roaming around, not to mention checkpoints.

“Can you see anything?”

“No. I can’t see anything.”

“Let me take a look too.”

Corporal Ohchanil, who came with me, accepted my scope instead as if it was impossible.

And after confirming it with his own two eyes, he quickly hardened his face and swore softly.

“……shit.”

Judging from the lack of signs of fighting, it was clear that they had abandoned the checkpoint and retreated.

This means that the same goes for other checkpoints and military forces guarding nearby roads.

Private Oh Chan-il and his successor suddenly found themselves isolated in the middle of the infected.

‘This is worth going for.’

But that’s just their situation, and it’s not all that bad news for me.

Because the company’s troops withdrew early, the road to Seoul was opened.

If I could just enter Gyeonggi-do, it would only take 2 hours to get to my destination, Gwanak-gu.

“Let’s go back for now.”

We got up from our seats and slowly made our way through the bushes, returning the way we came.

On the way back to the car, Private Oh Chan-il, who was scratching his head with a serious expression, asked.

“Are you really thinking of going to Seoul?”

“That was the original purpose.”

“I usually don’t interfere in this kind of thing, but going to Seoul is really not right. It’s much more serious than you think.”

“I know, too.”

“No, why is someone you know leaving?”

Corporal Oh Chan-il let out a deep sigh, feeling frustrated with my continued stubbornness.

But that was only for a moment! He asked with a small groan and a lowered voice.

“Do you have any family… …?”

“I have a nephew in Seoul.”

“sorry.”

What other reason could there be to risk one’s life and go into exile other than family?

Private Oh Chan-il also quickly apologized to me and kept his mouth shut because he had a family.

“What are you planning to do?”

“I don’t know either. Looking at the way they’re going now, it looks like the blockade has been breached… … If we don’t want any deserters, we should at least look for a nearby unit.”

Since the military is still doing its job, returning to the unit is the priority for now.

Private Ohchan sighed as he chewed on a cigarette he couldn’t light, as if the future was bleak.

After walking for a while like that, we arrived at the empty lot where we had parked our car.

“What the heck, where did that kid go?”

Strangely, Private Lee Hyeon-su, who was supposed to be guarding the vehicle and its luggage, was nowhere to be seen.

The surprised Oh Chan-il hurriedly looked around and called out to his successor who had disappeared.

“Hey! Lee Hyun-soo!”

Private Lee Hyeon-su has a more serious ankle injury than expected and cannot walk on his own for a long time.

I left my gun there to tell him to rest, but he disappeared somewhere in the meantime.

I searched the back seat where Private Lee Hyeon-su was sitting and the surrounding area, looking for signs that he had gone out.

“Where did you go alone?”

“Yes? Alone?”

For some unknown reason, he forgot about his combat rations for a while and then disappeared somewhere.

“Coco.”

I called Coco, who was wagging her tail, and made her sniff Private Lee Hyeon-su.

The guy sniffed for a while, then started walking off somewhere as if telling me to follow him.

“Take your gun.”

I now naturally carried a shotgun, and Private Oh Chan-il also carried a K-2 rifle.

We left the empty lot where the vehicle had been and followed Coco carefully.

“You’ve gone too far, you crazy bastard… … .”

I thought I would probably end up around here if I wandered around alone, but I ended up going further than I thought.

As I watched Coco not stop for five minutes, ominous thoughts began to creep into me.

Okay!

At that moment, Coco, who had been walking well, suddenly lies down flat on the ground and looks this way.

Suddenly, we lowered our postures together and followed the guy’s gaze.

There was a large parking lot and a mart building with a green sign standing tall.

“You went there?”

Hehe.

Judging from Coco’s reaction, it seemed like there were no infected people, but strangely, she seemed reluctant to go.

I stroked Coco’s head, who was sticking her tongue out, and asked Private Ohchanil.

“Were you originally a torturer?”

“… …He’s just a bit of a unique guy.”

“You are a good senior.”

“thank you.”

The sergeant sighed.
