“Fuck you mom.”

As soon as I saw the boat, I couldn’t help but curse.

There was no blue area underneath the sports bra.

Everything was stained red or blue.

I put my hand on it without thinking about it, but then a tremendous amount of pain hit me, so I hurriedly withdrew my hand.

It seemed like the assholes were always hitting my stomach or sides.

The hole in my stomach hadn’t healed yet, but it was worth seeing because I was beaten like this.

“Fuck you mom!”

The Poisoner’s arrow was snapped inside his jeans.

And the tip was stuck in my thigh.

For some reason, it didn’t hurt even after being hit, but I think it was because of the paralyzing poison.

While thinking about the difference between paralysis and anesthesia, I pulled the arrowhead out of my thigh and threw it on the floor.

He then limped over to the boxer with his head broken.

“Whoa, fuck.”

There was no sound in my body, and I wanted to pass out right away.

Still, looking at the knuckles on the boxer’s hand, I was glad that the victory didn’t end in nothing but scars.

The knuckles on the boxer’s hands seemed quite strong.

No, I knew it when I heard it.

I could tell that the heavy thing that filled my hand was made of sturdy material from the beginning.

Plus, I felt like I could do other things while wearing this.

For example, holding a baseball bat.

“Hmm…..”

If I didn’t know that blood was flowing from a sharp object stuck in my thigh, it was clear that I wouldn’t have noticed that the bone was broken.

So I had to gently press the bruised area while letting out strange moans for a while.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like any bones were broken. There’s a lot of bruising, but it’ll all work out.

Coincidentally, there are many medicines for these areas at pharmacies, so just apply them.

“Lighter…. Lighter……”

Surprisingly, the lighter I had in my back pocket was intact.

Fortunately, I smiled because I didn’t have to go to the convenience store even once.

What I would do from now on was simple. Burning vines and zombies.

There was a sprinkler above, but I ignored it.

Because I didn’t have enough energy to even worry about that.

So I slowly turned on the lighter, but the sprinkler didn’t work.

When I think about it, that sensor runs on electricity.

And the electricity is not working right now.

“You fucking idiot!”

There was no need to move the bodies outside if the building’s sprinklers did not work.

All you have to do is open the window wide for good ventilation and burn it.

Oh, shit. I screamed and my stomach hurt.

Anyway, I went around burning all the vines and zombie corpses I could see.

Still, it was fortunate that it just burned away.

Later on, plants and zombies that explode when exposed to fire appear, causing a headache.

As I took my steps to go back, I spontaneously let out a groan due to the pain.

“……Heaaa……”

Is it adrenaline or endorphins? Or maybe it’s something else, I don’t know.

I once learned this in science class, but I forgot it all.

Anyway, as the fight ended, the pain slowly began to creep in.

If I had a baseball bat, I would have used a cane to walk, but it was now so damaged that I couldn’t use it.

I was sad that we had to break up as soon as we called it a conversation.

Next, the friends headed to the pharmacy, thinking it would be nice to be able to use it for a longer period of time.

And I was moaning the whole way, so I had to keep looking up as I walked.

Because you don’t want zombies suddenly popping out from above.

And only after arriving at the pharmacy did I remember that there were no zombies on the 4th floor. Asshole bastard.

But rather than blaming it, treating the wound was a priority.

Now I don’t have to put anything in my mouth.

Even though it felt weird because I was hearing dirty moans throughout the treatment, I was able to endure the pain.

After receiving treatment for a few dozen minutes, I walked to the convenience store.

“Ah. I have to scrape up everything on the second floor and bring it back.”

After scratching my head, I decided to just do it later.

Anyway, it won’t be too late to break through all the way to the 7th floor and then scrape them all off at once.

Rather, the first thing to do was to eat and lie down to rest.

So, I ate up all the food I brought from the convenience store.

Come to think of it, I think they sold snacks and such on the first floor of the large stationery store.

Thinking that I should grab it before I forget, I opened the tuna can and ate the biscuit using a spoon.

I added the oil to the cup ramen without missing it and then heated up the Hetbahn.

I ate like a glutton, cleaned up after myself, and then lay down on the bed.

When I came to, someone was shaking my body.

I was surprised by that, so I picked up the bat that was left on the bedside table, and when I looked closely, I saw that it was Yeji Lee.

For a moment, I wondered why he was here. Yeji Lee was crying, so I helped her up and comforted her.

◦ at

“Yes, Yeji. why. why. Tell me.”

“With me, huh… He said he hates his mom…”

“What?”

“The military men came… sniff. Just my mom and I want to go….”

“……..Why?”

“We need to play tag… but I said I can’t play tag because I’m slow…”

“Wait a minute, Yeji. Did you come here with anyone?”

Yeji Lee nodded.

Okay, I knew it was dangerous.

No, it was already dangerous. As soon as I left the room, I saw a person.

He was wearing a military cap and military uniform, and the man immediately held out his hand.

“You don’t have to be that scared. I came with you because I was worried about my child.”

“…………………………………”

“The material was not touched. I have no intention of forcing you to go with me.”

“…….Thank you. Could you please explain in detail?”

The man nodded.

The man introduced himself as Captain Han.

There was a captain or a major general who was running around gathering the scattered soldiers, and I was trying to follow him.

He explained that in the process, he had planned to take all the civilians he could fit into the car.

Only then did I know.

“The road is blocked? Because it is burdensome to fight against zombies, we select one volunteer and use him as bait.”

“That’s right. I feel like I want to fight right now, but I have to take care of the civilians.”

“……………………………How many soldiers are there?”

“There are six including me. There are barely more than ten civilians.”

“Here, there are tons of things to eat at the convenience store. Please carry as much as you can.”

“What about you?”

“Well, I can just rob other convenience stores whenever I have time. Oh. Do not go above the 4th floor.”

“Okay. What will you do?”

“Wow, it hurts so bad.”

Captain Han asked with his eyes.

Are you planning to go together? Otherwise, I’m thinking of staying.

Of course I planned to stay. Even though it is a military-managed shelter, it is not safe.

Rather, people are more dangerous. I just wanted to live here.

It seems like a name I’ve heard before somewhere else. I couldn’t remember very well.

“I understood that the bait was Yeji Lee’s father. Is that correct?”

“…….Yes.”

“I will play the role of bait. Ahh.”

“……Are you okay?`

“It’s okay. I’m used to this too. Rather…”

Yeji Lee was holding my leg and crying.

I slowly got down on one knee and got to eye level with Yeji Lee.

And then he stroked Yeji Lee’s head.

“Unnie…….”

“It’s okay. More than that, do you like the headset?”

“Yes.”

“I can’t bring my clothes. Right?”

“That’s right. Because the goal is to just get out of the body. I can’t help it.”

“I see.”

Well, I guess I can’t afford to take supplies in a situation like this.

I’ll take the groceries I need right now, but clothes are less important.

In that case, Yeji Lee will need clothes.

Because it’s winter soon. You’ll need clothes to survive.

Coincidentally, I had one spare piece of clothing. Clothes that don’t look strange at all even if you take them off.

I thought it might smell a little, but I tried to ignore it and handed the outerwear I had been keeping to Yeji Lee.

“It’s a gift. Please wear it for me.”

“Uh, what about you…”

“My sister has a lot of fever. So it’s okay.”

“…………………………………”

Yeji Lee cried as if she had a sad premonition.

I patted her head again and then hugged her.

No matter how much I thought about it, I thought it would be much better for me to be the bait rather than Yeji Lee’s father.

Well, even if I get bitten, I get better as long as I have medicine and food.

Once I decided to act as a decoy, I felt like I needed at least some means of protecting my body.

So I took a bag around my waist and put water and a chocolate bar in it.

And instead of a breakup conversation, I grabbed peace.

“…….The operation begins in 1 hour. You can rest until then.”

“Yes.”

“Rather, what is your name?”

Captain Han asked with sad eyes.

No, it would be difficult to keep putting the flag like this.

Is there anyone who runs into something knowing that he will die? Because I am confident in my life, I am acting as bait.

But even if I said I could live, I didn’t think the people in front of me would believe me.

Rather, they would think that I was telling a white lie to reassure them.

Rather, the name.

The name I originally used was Park Jeong-heum. But I want to abandon this name now.

I was thinking about coming up with an alias to use for the time being, and then I thought of a name that would fit perfectly.

“Yeji. This is Yeji Lee.”

“Uh, are you Yeji Lee too?”

“Yes. The names are the same?”

“Wow… Yeji unni! Yeji unnie!”

“Is this Yeji Lee……”

Captain Han nodded.

An hour passed, and I stood at the intersection and looked at the road on the other side.

It was an 8-lane road, and zombies were swarming around the fallen car in the center.

Even if you can’t do it, you’re forty. Sixty at most. No, I want to stay a little longer.

What I would do from now on was simple.

By shouting loudly, you attract the attention of those zombies and open the road for cars to pass.

There was a high probability of death.

The probability of getting hurt was even higher.

Even if I succeed, no one will know except the 16 people here.

If you fail, that’s the end.

But for some reason it felt good.

I got into the car and waved to Yeji Lee, who was wearing a headset and holding her coat.

Yeji Lee also waved at me.

Now, it was time to live.
