Episode 84
“I’ve caught all the infected people in my life.”
“That’s true.”
Until now, I’ve only killed infected people, but this was the first time I captured them alive.
The group began to walk awkwardly, scratching their heads with awkward faces.
But that was only for a moment, as soon a heated debate broke out over which infected to capture.
“What about him?”
“Isn’t it too active?”
“Isn’t it better if the bait is active?”
“It seems dangerous… … .”
“After I catch you, I cut off your arm.”
“Isn’t that a bit cruel?”
A total of three live baits were selected after going through the group’s strict criteria.
Among the hundreds of infected, the most active and mobile ones were specially selected.
It looks fresh and bubbly at first glance, and it looks like something hungry Q2 would want to eat.
“Coco, Volvo!”
Hehe!
I waggled my tail and signaled Coco and Volvo to start.
Then the guys instantly jumped down the alley and disappeared.
Time goes by.
I checked my wristwatch.
After about 30 seconds, a loud commotion suddenly began to be heard from far away.
Hehe!
From afar, Coco and Volvo were running excitedly down this alley, their tongues sticking out.
Kyaaaaah!
Naturally, a large group of infected people followed behind.
The number is roughly 15? Naturally, the targeted infected were included among them.
As expected, they are experienced hunting dogs.
I signaled to my companions.
“Don’t shoot the bait!”
Then, as if they had been waiting, the group began to poke their heads out from behind the wall and roof where they had been hiding.
At the same time, they all aimed their air guns at the infected people running towards them.
Phew!
Kwajik!
Olivia’s precise shots began to pour down airgun bullets from all directions.
Phew! Phew!
Crunch! Crunch!
Contrary to the sound of the bullets, the infected who had been hit in the head with lead bullets fell down in a heap.
For the group that had been dealing with the monster known as Q2, the infected were just a way to warm up.
Kick kick kick.
Meanwhile, I turned the lever, loaded my crossbow, and stepped onto the railing.
And then he quietly pulled the trigger towards the first target that was running towards him from afar.
Phew!
Kwajik!
The bolt flew through the air and pierced the infected person’s chest.
Of course, the infected person just floundered around, but he didn’t care and came running again.
But it didn’t end there.
I signaled to pull by passing the rope I had tied to the end of the bolt behind me.
“One, two, three!”
“Pull!”
At that moment, Kang Pil-jae and the students who were waiting behind pulled the rope with all their might.
Kyaaaaak!
The infected person with a harpoon stuck in the middle of his chest was dragged here against his will.
After securing the rope to the roof, I turned the lever with a creaking sound and aimed at the next target.
Phew!
Kwajik!
Fire, hit, and this time pull the rope again, dragging the targeted infected.
Having bound one after another, I put down my crossbow and drew my jungle sword.
Sreung!
Meanwhile, the non-bait infected were all taken care of by the party with air guns.
I pushed the corpses that filled the alley with my feet and walked towards the struggling bait infected.
Kwajik!
And he lowered his shoulders to the part that had no blade, making it impossible for him to use either arm.
“tether!”
“Snake, over here!”
Then, the group that received the baton approached and put ropes and gags in their mouths.
Finally, tie the limbs together and connect them into one to complete the lunchbox for Q2.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s simpler than I thought.”
Maybe it’s because we’ve all been working together for a long time, but this kind of work was nothing.
The group, not even breaking a sweat, packed their luggage and weapons and came down the alley one by one.
“Let’s go.”
Now it’s time to go back.
We packed the infected patients and headed towards Biozeneca.
The conversation between Private Lee Hyeon-su and Corporal Oh Chan-il, who were following behind, sounded eerie.
“Snake.”
“What? Again, why?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to hold Q2 like this and drag it around?”
“What the hell is that?”
“No, that’s right. They say that infected people don’t approach Q2, so isn’t this a complete bio-repellent? It would be convenient if you just cut off the head and carry it around like a totem.”
“… … Sounds plausible?”
“Hehehe, should I leave just one?”
Where did the innocent soldiers I saw at the checkpoint go, only the crazy infected doctors remained.
No wonder the students following behind them began to slowly move away from the two.
‘Hmm.’
I debated whether to pay attention, but decided to just focus on walking.
It would be meaningless for someone who suggested making lunch boxes for infected people to say something like this.
Hehe!
The only one of us who didn’t change was Coco, with her cute tail wagging.
Coco’s red scarf lingered over the city covered in white snow.
* * *
That’s what a novel idea is.
It may seem like it’s not true, but once you hear it, you’ll nod your head in agreement.
The idea of luring Q2 with a living infected was also one of those ingenious ideas.
“Is this possible?”
“Honestly, I don’t think it’s impossible.”
“It sounds like a crazy idea.”
“I rather like it.”
At first, the platoon members questioned whether he was in his right mind, but as time passed, they soon became convinced.
Didn’t they themselves capture the infected people rather than just doing it?
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no other way to move that monstrous Q2.
Doubts soon turned to certainty, and the murmurs of opinion quickly coalesced into one.
“It’s all in the details.”
No matter how good an idea is, it is useless if there is no concrete plan to implement it.
Now that I had the idea, it was time to add branches and flesh to it.
We quickly got on the same page and put our heads together to plan the ‘Q2 lure operation’.
“First of all, we need to completely separate the two so they can’t help each other.”
Currently, there is one Q2 between the 13th and 20th floors, and one between the 21st and 35th floors.
It would be nice if the two of them traveled together, but odds are they’ll be stuck in their own nests.
In that case, we should block the path of movement and block movement at the source.
“Block the emergency stairs.”
“How about just welding the door?”
Since there’s a welding machine, I block the emergency stairs based on their nest.
Even if it’s Q2, it’s impossible for humans to get through the door that they’ve blocked.
“How is the bait?”
“Even now, there is a huge rejection reaction. If you let it out in front of the nest, it will probably go crazy.”
As Kim Jang-mi said, infected people who entered Q2’s sphere of influence showed a tremendous rejection reaction.
If you just let it out in the nest, it will probably start kicking and struggling to escape.
“How do you find out when Q2 is coming?”
“Isn’t there CCTV?”
“That requires going to the security room on the 32nd floor.”
“Hmm, that might be dangerous.”
But the problem was how we, who were outside the nest, could see what was going on inside.
CCTV, the best surveillance method at present, can only be viewed by going directly to the security room, right?
Heading to the 32nd floor, which is Q2’s nest influence zone, seemed too risky.
At that moment, Sergeant Park Deok-gu, who had been quietly listening to the story, raised his right hand.
“We have a few drones that our company security team uses. How could this not work?”
As expected from a wealthy global pharmaceutical company, they had a small drone in their security team.
It is definitely an advanced version of CCTV as it allows real-time monitoring and even movement.
“He might notice.”
Q2’s intelligence and learning ability are far greater than we imagined.
No matter how carefully you operate a drone, its characteristic motor noise and lights cannot be hidden.
“Hmm.”
“This is a pain in the ass.”
At this, everyone rubbed their foreheads and remained silent, unable to come up with a suitable idea.
As if to represent the people’s frustration, the office was filled with cigarette smoke.
“There is a better way.”
But at that moment, Private Lee Hyeon-su, who was playing with Coco on one side, raised his hand.
The gaze was drawn in that direction for a moment, and Lee Hyun-soo lifted the drone as if it was nothing.
“There’s a remote camera here too, right?”
“Of course, since it’s a drone… … .”
“You can just take this camera off and use it.”
Then he took out a Phillips screwdriver from his bread bag and skillfully took the drone apart.
Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had delicately pulled out the remote camera, tapped the convex lens.
“We’re attaching a remote camera to the infected person. If we connect it to a large-capacity battery, it should be able to last at least six hours.”
After bio-bait, now bio-drones? This is a really crazy idea, if not a crazy one.
The only people here who thought it was a good idea were our fellow crazy people.
No matter how smart and clever Q2 is, it won’t be able to predict a real bio-drone.
“… … These gentlemen really think differently.”
“Is it because we caught so many infected people?”
“Look, your eyes are scary.”
The platoon members began to murmur as they watched the group begin to disassemble the drone.
I chuckled at the sight, and Sergeant Park Deok-gu bowed his head and apologized.
It’s okay.
Everything is correct, I have nothing to say.
* * *
In order not to forget the saying that the more urgent it is, the more you have to go back, we prepared the operation calmly.
Of course, in the meantime, they did not forget to bring supplies and ammunition to the hideout and rescue survivors hiding throughout the building.
Thanks to this, as time passed, the size of the hideout grew and the number of people also increased.
But the cunning Q2 did not sit idly by and watch humans expand their territory.
‘Ahhhh!’
‘Hey, run away!’
Survivors inside the building noticed that there was movement to rescue them.
But the problem is that some people who are impatient cannot wait for the rescue team to arrive and start coming out.
Q2 continued its brutal hunting spree, cleverly targeting only such survivors.
It was a tragedy.
It was so bad that we had to tell them to please not move through the intercom.
As the number of survivors who had been treated in this way exceeded twenty, people became increasingly terrified.
‘Not yet.’
But the more we did that, the more we gritted our teeth and improved the perfection of the operation.
For that one golden moment, that one chance to pull Q2 out.
Time passed like that, exactly a week passed, and the long-awaited day finally arrived.
Cheek!
[Blockade complete.]
[This is also finished.]
The area between the 13th and 20th floors, which were the operating areas, was completely isolated so that Q2 would not be noticed.
And to confuse him, he kept making noise by playing the intercom.
Also, I didn’t forget to spread Q2’s excrement all over the place so that the smell couldn’t be distinguished.
Night fell and the air changed.
Just then a blizzard began to blow hard.
[I will turn off the generator.]
Starting with the city’s power outage, the platoon members turned off their own generators.
Then, pitch-black darkness descended on the once brightly lit Biogeneca building.
‘Bait in.’
That was the signal.
My companions and I, who had been waiting in the ventilation shaft, finally threw out the biobait.
dump!
Biological baits 1, 2, and 3 were deployed, dividing the 13th to 20th floors into three sections.
Kyaaaaak, yikes!
They were so scared that they didn’t know what to do, as if they were aware of Q2’s existence.
But that was only for a moment, as they began to run away in all directions to escape from this hellish place.
The quiet nest of Q2 became noisy with the screams of the infected.
“Mr. Hyunsoo.”
“yep.”
Private Lee Hyun-soo took out the pad and activated the remote camera connected to the bait.
The screen was divided into three exact parts, and their view was broadcast live in real time.
“Who will get caught first?”
“Number 3 is more likely.”
“Why number 3?”
“He’s the guy I’m rooting for.”
“Then I am number 1.”
The group looked at the pad screen with interest, each with their own cheering bait.
The dynamically moving screen explained how desperate they were.
Will Q2 take the bait?
This is the guy who filled his hungry stomach by preying on survivors.
If Q2 is satisfied here, the baiting operation using infected people has failed.
I crouched quietly behind the chattering group and stared at the pad screen.
“Huh? It’s moving!”
But at that moment, the screen of No. 2 suddenly turned around and a shattering noise was heard.
As expected, beyond the screen, Q2 was running like crazy to catch No. 2.
The group cheered quietly and quickly packed up their weapons, and I quickly took out the radio.
“The guy asked.”
The lead actor came up on stage.
All that remains is the curtain call to end the play.
