Episode 7

There is no human being who does not consider cause and effect.

We think about the cause and effect, as well as the aftermath of this action.

Because that’s human.

Because we are social animals who cannot live alone.

But the instructor who taught me always tried to castrate my social instincts by emphasizing one thing.

That’s hesitation.

Even after ten long years, I have never forgotten that teaching.

It was as easy to strike the dangerous means first as to strike the head of a fish.

dump!

Shot a gun.

A person died.

People had a hard time filtering out this shocking reality, which was as large as dregs.

Everyone looked at the fallen man and the flowing blood with astonished faces.

widely!

But I, who actually pulled the trigger, took back the gun that had been taken away as if nothing had happened.

None of the residents who came down to the first floor could stop me from returning with a gun.

“I have it.”

“Yes, yes!”

Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had been absent-minded, only then regained his composure and put his gun on his shoulder.

I helped him up and then looked around frantically to find an exit.

There is no time.

‘Things’ that had come within about 100m were quickly closing in around the mart.

If we don’t get out right now, the first floor of this mart will become our graveyard.

Clang!

At that moment, the window right next to the entrance broke and a familiar face appeared.

“This way!”

Corporal Oh Chan-il, who had been watching the net, ran toward us as soon as he heard the gunshots.

He broke the glass window and gestured hastily at the wooden planks covering it.

So I quickly turned the gun and pulled the trigger while shouting to step back.

pop!

The wooden plank shatters into pieces.

I quickly secured the exit and sent Private Lee Hyeon-su out the window first.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

A very excited Coco runs around like crazy, sending a final warning.

As we were leaving the mart, they were swarming not only on the road but also into the parking lot.

“Jump!”

We finally managed to escape from the mart and ran to the other side of the parking lot.

The residents who saw us running away came to their senses and panicked.

Huh, huh?!

Kyaaaaah!

However, the group of infected people who had finally reached the front poured out toward the mart.

Clang!

The glass doors shattered in an instant, and the shutters shook wildly from the force of the blow from the outside.

But the problem is not the door, it’s the window.

The first floor windows, which were merely reinforced with wooden planks, were instantly shattered as the men swarmed in.

Stop it, stop it! Don’t let them in!

Gyaaaah!

Among the residents gathered on the first floor of the mart, not a single one responded properly.

Literally a panic, everyone was paralyzed with fear as they rushed into the mart.

Kkaaaak!

In an instant, a villager whose throat had been bitten off falls backwards, screaming in pain.

Gyaaaah!

2nd floor! Run to the 2nd floor!

That was the beginning of the tragedy.

In an instant, the men who had rushed to the first floor of the mart rushed after the live meat.

Residents who tried to run away were caught and soon had their stomachs and throats ripped off while they were still alive.

Blood and entrails flow out, screams like those of an animal, and the mart turns into hell.

We took advantage of the commotion to quickly get out of the parking lot and run down the middle of the road.

Kyaaaaah!

However, the group of infected people who arrived late suddenly turned around and started following them.

The distance is close.

Deciding that it was too late to run away, I quickly stopped and shouted to Private Oh Chan-il.

“song!”

After the two soldiers were sent first, I took out the pistol I was carrying on my back and got into a shooting position.

pop!

pop!

Pull the trigger repeatedly.

The two guys who had been following right behind were blown away and fell down in the same position they had been running from.

Not yet.

There are more guys behind.

Crunch!

I calmly step back and quickly reload the bullets I took from my belt.

Kyaaaaah!

A horde of infected people approached me at high speed and began to engulf me from all sides.

Five guys.

There is no gap and it is simultaneous.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

But I showed off the full power of rapid fire without losing a single breath.

As the gun spits fire like crazy, the running infected are torn apart by the bullets.

Kwajik!

After I had cleanly dealt with the last one with the buttstock, I finally let out the breath I had been holding.

Reload again.

I took out the cartridge with an almost mechanical movement and pushed it in with a click, click.

And then, after taking a stance again, he took aim at the dozens of guys rushing towards him.

Booooooo – -!!

“Get in!”

But at that moment, Private Oh Chan-il, who had escaped safely, came running towards us in his car.

I had no intention of fighting anymore, so I got into the passenger seat without looking back.

Squeak!

Private Ohchan skillfully turns the steering wheel and drives the car to the other side of the road.

The old compact car, which had been teetering precariously, squeezed out the last of its strength and quickly accelerated.

Kyaaaaah!

The infected who had been following us for a while start flailing their arms and soon disappear from sight.

Looking through the rearview mirror, there were at least hundreds of infected people crowded into the mart.

Was the darkness hiding them?

This area, which was once thought to be safe, had already been infected with the mutant virus for a long time.

The mountain path in the thick darkness that the streetlights could not illuminate felt even darker today.

The apocalypse was now in progress.

* * *

No matter how big the balloon is, it will burst if pricked by a needle.

The quarantine border, which had been maintained with great care, collapsed as soon as one place was breached.

Joining the unit was already out of the question, and now they had to worry about even their minimal survival.

We had no choice but to change direction and head towards Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do.

“Are you awake?

“yes…….”

Private Lee Hyeon-su, who lost consciousness as soon as he got into the car, suffered from high fever and nightmares all night.

Fortunately, though, he came to his senses in the morning and recovered enough to have a conversation.

“You almost died. Do you understand that?!”

“Sorry, I’m sorry, Sangbaem.”

Corporal Oh Chan-il, who had parked his car on the nearby roadside, immediately grabbed Private Lee Hyeon-su by the collar.

If he hadn’t been hurt, I probably would’ve punched him in the face instead of the collar.

“Please calm down and sit down.”

I managed to stop the excited Lunch Corporal and had them both sit down.

Private Lee Hyeon-su, whose face turned pale, lowered his head as if he had no shame.

“So why did you go to the mart?”

“I was trying to get some spanners and wrenches.”

“What? Why is that?”

“It looked like the car was going to break down soon. I just wanted to do some light work on the engine and pads. It wouldn’t take long, so… … .”

Small cars, which are currently our only means of transportation, are a very important asset.

Private Lee Hyeon-su, who knew that, seemed to have tried to repair the vehicle while he had time.

“But what if you steal something?”

“Hmm, I didn’t steal it! They said they would lend it to me first.”

Did he try to help in his own way and get tricked?

It was a situation where it was difficult to even get angry.

Private Oh Chan-il, who had been looking disappointed the whole time, finally relaxed his expression.

“Then Inma, you should have told me in advance.”

“I’m truly sorry.”

“Ha, okay. Let’s stop now. What’s the point of getting angry now?”

After finishing the conversation, Private Oh Chan-il came towards me with Private Lee Hyeon-su.

And after making him bow his head as if he had made a promise, he bows his head politely as well.

“Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.”

“Oh, thank you so much for saving me!”

What started out as a mere pack of cigarettes led to two near-death experiences together.

I had no intention of making a fuss, so I nodded in greeting.

Hehe.

Of course, Coco, who was the biggest contributor to this work, was just wagging her tail as if she was happy.

“Well, by the way.”

“yes?”

“Is it still valid to say that you are going to Seoul?”

“Yes. My thoughts remain the same.”

At my firm answer that I was going to Seoul, Private Oh Chan-il spoke to me as if he had made up his mind about something.

“Can I come with you?”

“A snake?”

Accompanying? That’s a completely unexpected offer.

However, Private Oh Chan-il persuaded Private Lee Hyeon-su that it was not an impulsive thought.

“You must know because you saw the situation. There were thousands of people who came that day. And most of them came from Gyeonggi-do, not Seoul. Do you think the evacuation is over?”

“Ha, but don’t be too dangerous.”

“Aren’t you worried about your grandmother? Damn, I can’t trust my superiors anymore.”

With both TV and internet out, the only way for soldiers to obtain information was through their superiors or word of mouth without a source.

But when I actually saw the reality with my own eyes, I realized that it was all a lie.

Private Ohchan-il looked at his successor, who still couldn’t figure it out, and said.

“I’m going home. You?”

“Snake… … .”

“Are you going to go or are you going to say something?”

Private Oh Chan-il said his hometown is near Cheonho-dong, and Private Lee Hyeon-su said his hometown is near Seogyo-dong.

If I wanted to know what had happened to my family, I had no choice but to go to Seoul.

“I will follow you.”

Finally, Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had been pondering, nodded and turned his gaze towards me.

Should I ask for permission?

One side is obviously the ace of the squad, the other side looks dumb but knows how to spot a vehicle.

Moreover, since they are both active and have guns and ammunition, they can be considered the best companions.

“Yeah.”

After a brief moment of deliberation, I finally agreed to accompany them with a brief handshake.

Gulp.

But at that moment, a rumbling sound like water boiling was heard from someone’s stomach.

The owner of the sound was none other than Private Oh Chan-il, who was sitting with a solemn expression.

“Let’s eat something first.”

Suddenly, the tension broke, and we sat across from each other in a friendly manner and ate our combat rations.

In the trunk, there were only a few bottles of water left and empty bags of ramen scattered around.

“First, I need to get something to eat.”

“It would be enough to just find a local supermarket on the way. Or even a rest area.”

“It would be good if you could also find a repair shop.”

Although we were delayed a bit by the checkpoint, we shouldn’t be impatient.

As I stuffed the pound cake into my mouth, I mentally mapped out the items I needed to pack.

Meanwhile, Private Oh Chan-il took out a map, took out a pen, and drew out the route of movement.

“Since it’s come to this, let’s move a bit further up. We might as well go all the way to Yangpyeong.”

“Not bad.”

If the mutant virus is moving south, the east might be safer.

After taking a short break and making plans, we quickly got up and cleaned up our surroundings.

The good thing about having a companion who is a soldier is that he is used to quick and concise actions.

Vroom!

I naturally sat in the driver’s seat and started the car, and the two soldiers sat in the backseat.

The compact car, having exited the overgrown shoulder, headed north once again.

The snowfall is getting heavier.

Coco, who seemed to have nothing to worry about, wagged her tail while watching the snow falling from the sky.
