Episode 81

Sergeant Park Deok-gu was a much more experienced and capable veteran soldier than I had thought.

Especially, since he had been observing infected people for a long time, he knew Q2’s habits as well as I did.

Thanks to this, it didn’t take long to prove that Q2 had been dealt with.

Experts have something in common, and with just a few conversations, they were able to determine the truth.

“You are truly amazing people.”

“you’re welcome.”

Soldiers who fought on the same front develop a strong bond that is hard to describe.

Likewise, we who survived against a common enemy felt a strange sense of kinship.

After a few cigarette-smoked conversations, the tense atmosphere quickly loosened up.

Sergeant Park Deok-gu, whose stomach was full from the rations we gave him, adjusted his beret.

“Do you have any plans for the future?”

“We have received a promise of cooperation on the condition that we rescue Sergeant Park. Our goal is to eliminate all remaining Q2s along with the remaining troops and seal off the entire building.”

“It’s neat and tidy without any unnecessary details. I’ll take care of the platoon leader’s part myself.”

With veteran soldiers like these, we won’t be far behind even against Q2.

But Sergeant Park Deok-gu sighed and said as if there was one thing that was bothering him.

“Actually, I have something to tell you.”

“yes?”

“I’m sure you know from experience that the power supply to the building is unstable. If this situation continues to repeat itself, securing the building will be meaningless.”

That wasn’t a wrong statement.

No matter how much we blockade the building, it’s meaningless the moment the power goes out.

At this, Sergeant Park Deok-gu took out a document from his pocket as if he had a prior task.

The document contained a blueprint and list of facilities for Biogeneca’s Korean branch.

“There is a machine room with an emergency generator on the 5th basement floor. It was originally where the management team was located, but contact with it was completely lost after the incident. Also, for some reason, the system has not been restored at all.”

“It’s a physical problem, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right. At least you should be able to see with your own eyes what condition the emergency generator is in.”

Sergeant Park Deok-gu saw through the fundamental problems with the building’s defense system.

I nodded slowly, and the others looked at the documents in agreement.

“It might not be easy to approach.”

“That’s the problem. They won’t just sit back and watch us move.”

But the problem was that Q2 entity that had built a large nest in the underground parking lot.

As long as the guy was hiding in the darkness, it was virtually impossible to get to the fifth basement level.

Sergeant Park Deok-gu, who had been in a standoff with Q2 for quite some time, said with a bitter expression.

“He used to be a very reckless guy. He couldn’t even dream of me coming out of the distribution room. But one day, he became very cautious and started setting traps to catch me.”

Q2, which originally occupied the underground parking lot, is said to have been a very active entity.

But one day, his behavior pattern changed to become more cautious and cunning.

Wait, really?

Jin-kyung Kim and I made eye contact without saying a word, and then we both spoke as if we were dumbfounded.

“Sergeant Park, isn’t that the day the gunshots rang out? The moment when the guy suddenly changed?”

“Huh? Yes! That’s right!”

Yes, that’s the guy who dug a trap in the research building and had his legs and arms torn off by us.

At that time, they rushed at us without fear, but it seems they learned the hard way.

Damn, it had to be him.

I sighed in regret at not being able to finish Q2 at that time.

“It would be easier if we just rushed at him and tried to kill him. Should we provoke him once?”

“I tried several times, but it wouldn’t budge. I guess it won’t budge until it’s sure it can kill me.”

The worst situation where neither defense, preemptive strike, nor even the only method of luring work.

At this rate, I couldn’t even go back to the 12th floor, let alone find the machine room.

We sat with serious faces and just stared at the clock hands that passed endlessly.

“Me, brother.”

But at that moment, Private Lee Hyeon-su, who was fiddling with the spotlight in the corner, raised his hand.

This time, it’s that same Hyun-soo again.

We turned our heads as if we had been waiting, and our eyes urged us to speak quickly.

Then, Private Lee Hyeon-su carefully got up from his seat and made a driving gesture.

“How about using a vehicle?”

“A car?”

“Yes, there are cars all over here.”

Since it is a five-story underground parking lot, naturally there are more cars than people.

It would have fuel, and if you knew how to drive, you could all ride along.

And even if it’s Q2, it won’t be able to chase or attack a vehicle that’s moving at high speeds.

“But does anyone have car keys?”

“I have a license.”

The problem, however, is that even though there is someone to drive the car, there is no car key to start the car.

While everyone else was just shrugging their shoulders, Private Lee Hyeon-su raised his hand as if embarrassed and said:

“I know how to do some car wiring. As long as it’s not a new car.”

Starting with the engine and generator, to the radio, and now even the vehicle wiring.

“……sneak?”

“Hyunsoo, what the hell are you doing?”

“Oh, no! Don’t misunderstand!”

When we looked at him with suspicious faces, Private Lee Hyeon-su desperately explained.

Abilities that would have been ignored in normal times were only beginning to show their value after the end.

“Okay, let’s get moving.”

Now that the method has been decided, we need to find a vehicle to drag us to the 5th basement level.

We got up from our seats one by one, finished preparing to leave, and carefully left the distribution room.

The darkness and damp air that had engulfed the underground parking lot still suffocated the surroundings.

* * *

Q2 was more cunning than I thought.

The moment we left the distribution room and started moving, the thing followed us as if it had been waiting.

But I never got closer than a certain distance and literally just waited for an opportunity.

Until we come into their territory or they get tired of waiting.

More frightening than its cunning was Q2’s intelligence in learning humans in a short period of time.

We continued to have an awkward standoff with the guy while looking for a vehicle to take us.

“How about this?”

“It’s too new.”

“What is this?”

“It’s too small.”

It can’t be a new model with strict security, but it can’t be a compact car that’s too light either.

We were starting to get anxious as it took us longer than expected to choose a vehicle.

“I found it. This is just right.”

But that was only for a moment, as Private Lee Hyeon-su, who was looking around, soon found a suitable vehicle.

It was a blue Porter truck that looked so old you’d wonder if it could even roll.

“Is this correct?”

“This is originally more sturdy.”

While we were standing guard on all sides, Private Lee Hyeon-su skillfully opened the car door.

Then he crawled under the driver’s seat, cut the frame with a knife, and pulled out the wiring.

“How long does it take?”

“That… … It’s been a long time since I’ve done it, so I guess I’ll just have to try it to find out.”

Q2 felt something strange and was getting closer to the boundary as time went on.

Coco and Volvo seemed to sense this as they kept baring their teeth and glaring into the darkness.

Anxious time passes.

We crouched around the porter truck, aiming our guns in all directions.

The weather was humid and chilly, and my back felt chilled even when I just sat still.

Vroom!

“Okay!”

At that moment, the headlights of the Porter truck turned on brightly and a rough engine noise was heard.

Private Lee Hyeon-su hurriedly climbed into the driver’s seat, and we headed to the cargo area with the floodlight.

There is ample space.

After making sure everyone was properly seated, I knocked on the driver’s seat and shouted.

“depart!”

Private Lee Hyeon-su quickly turned the steering wheel and immediately stepped on the accelerator in the forward direction.

Then, my body suddenly jerked to one side and the truck began to move forward.

Booooooooooo-!!

The Porter truck, which had been rattling dangerously, soon cut across the middle of the parking lot.

Then, Private Oh Chan-il, as if he had been waiting, turned on the floodlight and illuminated the surrounding area.

The territory of that guy you see over there in the distance.

Pitch-black darkness was glaring at us, as if it were a boundary dividing light and darkness.

100m, 50m.

A moment later, the Porter truck with its headlights on entered the area of ​​the unlit man.

Woof woof! Woof!

As soon as darkness enveloped the surroundings, Coco and Volvo started barking like crazy.

At the same time, an ominous air blew in, and Corporal Oh Chan-il shined his floodlight in all directions.

Where are you?

It’s definitely nearby.

I looked around with a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other.

Crackle!

At that moment, the back of my neck suddenly felt a prickle.

I instinctively turned my head and looked in the direction the truck was going.

There, a huge shadow was flying that the light could not even project.

Kkagagagagak-!!

“ceiling!”

A strange howl echoes through the air.

Hatred, anger, hunger. All these negativity hovered over our heads.

bang!

At the same time, Q2 crashed over the body, and the truck, which had been running smoothly, tilted forward.

“profit!”

Ki-ki-ki-ki!

The truck is shaking dangerously.

Private Lee Hyeon-su desperately grabbed the steering wheel of the vehicle and tried to keep his balance.

Crackle! Crackle!

Clang!

But the bastard broke the front window of the vehicle and tried to drag Private Lee Hyeon-su out.

At the last moment, I quickly put one leg on the railing and leaned forward.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

He pulled the trigger as if performing a stunt while the car was rocking back and forth.

All three shots sank into Q2’s torso, and it fell off screaming.

Kkakakakak!

thud!

But it didn’t seem to be enough to stop him from falling, and he chased after him again, climbing up the walls and roof.

“Mr. Daesu!”

In the meantime, I almost fell to the floor, but I managed to get up with Kim Jin-kyung’s help.

Likewise, Private Oh Chan-il, who had come to his senses, hurriedly grabbed the floodlight and turned it back.

Flash!

Kkakakakak!

Q2 chased the truck at high speed, crawling madly over walls and ceilings.

The madness was so fierce that he didn’t even care that his skin was burning under the spotlight.

You?

Are you guys okay?

The bastard turned his red eyes wide as if he recognized me and Kim Jin-kyung.

awe!

Primal fear.

The instincts that humans can feel overflow in waves of goosebumps.

“Shoot!”

Doo doo doo doo doo-!!

As the floodlight locked onto the target, Sergeant Park’s K-2 rifle began firing.

All of the bullets fired in quick succession hit their targets, and Q2 let out a scream of pain.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Then, Jin-Kyung Kim and I quickly aimed the shotgun and pulled the trigger with all our might.

Kkakakakak!

Q2 hid in the darkness, covering his face with his arms amidst a swarm of flying bullets.

The panicked Private Oh Chan-il looked in the opposite direction with the spotlight, but the bastard was nowhere to be seen.

Did you run away?

We quickly reloaded in the meantime and looked into the darkness that the floodlight couldn’t illuminate.

Booooooo-!!

The truck had already passed the E section and was heading towards the next floor, the 3rd basement level.

Now if I just turn that corner and go down, I can completely get out of his area.

Thump!

But strangely, my heart started beating like crazy and the back of my neck started tightening.

Startled, I quickly turned my head and discovered something shimmering in the darkness.

fast.

Something is flying this way.

“Bow down!!”

I hugged the people closest to me and bowed my head urgently.

Kwaaaaang!!

Then, a motorcycle flying from afar hit the back of the truck.

Glass shards flew everywhere, and the truck that had rounded the corner also tilted to the side.

bang!

Ki-ki-ki-ki!

Time passes slowly.

I desperately held on to the railing, but I couldn’t withstand the physical force coming at me.

The truck eventually crashed into a wall, throwing the passengers in its cargo hold out of the way.

Darkness falls.

Q2 is running towards us.
