“This is…”

“What do you think? Isn’t this an interesting rumor?”

“I think we need to investigate.”

“Okay, since we have some time left anyway, let’s do some research.”

No one objected.

Everyone seemed curious about the rumors about this shelter.

After all, it was quite early to have dinner, right?

So there was no problem with just doing a little research until dinner.

We have been gathering information about the rumor for some time.

Everything from the whiteboard to the documents nearby.

When I was told there was something written, I put it on the desk and looked at it.

Even if the information is useless, you have to read it and make a decision.

I worked hard for a few tens of minutes, but it was worth it.

The information about this area gathered by this group of survivors was not bad.

But the information here on how to get to the rumored shelter was really valuable.

There would have been no problem in the past, but not now, right?

There are some things where you simply can’t take the bus or subway, but still.

You never know when and where zombies or strange survivors will appear.

Plus, there are a lot of problems with the roads.

Even here, which can be said to be a relatively remote area, the roads are clogged.

How many roads would be blocked in Seoul, where there would have been more zombies?

Well, the plan didn’t seem perfect.

What you’re saying is that you’re going to go from near Cheolsan Station to Gwanghwamun.

There is no plan on how to supply supplies there.

The last hope of preparing as much as possible for an unavoidable situation.

It is safe to say that there is no further value to this operation.

Of course, this was too much for us.

It’s not like there’s a shortage of supplies.

There are a lot of people to take care of, so the travel time is not short.

Even if it was wrong, I could have pushed it like a bulldozer.

It became clear from what happened a few days ago.

Unless you were a noble-level zombie, it would have been difficult to deal with me.

Now, no matter what comes, I am confident that I will win it all.

If you get hit by a telephone pole, everyone will die.

Anyway, it was nice to say that I had everything I needed.

In fact, all that’s left is to rest appropriately and move on.

So, if there were no disagreements, I was going to have dinner and rest.

Suddenly, Kang Ye-rim raised his hand slightly and said.

“But don’t we need to go by land?”

“Huh?”

“What does that mean?”

“Sister, you must have some opinion.”

“Ah, that’s…”

Kang Ye-rim started talking hesitantly.

According to this plan, we would have to walk on the road, but that would not be feasible.

Not only is the road blocked, but you never know where zombies will appear.

No matter how strong I am, if I can avoid a fight, it’s better to avoid it.

So the plan she came up with was to use the subway.

But while I was listening, a question arose, so I immediately asked a question.

I was wondering what you were talking about since the subway isn’t running right now.

Then Kang Ye-rim shook her head and said to me.

“No, there is that railroad.”

“…Ah!”

“Wouldn’t it be relatively okay to walk there?”

“But do you know the way?”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. Because I like railroads!”

Kang Ye-rim’s eyes sparkled.

So, you said you fell in love with railroads and decided to pursue a career in that direction.

It didn’t seem to be a big deal to other people, but it wasn’t to me.

To be honest, there wasn’t a single person who liked railroads.

Still, considering what I’ve seen so far, she seems relatively normal.

Besides, you can’t choose another option just because you don’t like it, right?

So, I started making plans to take the subway and walk to Gwanghwamun.

It didn’t take that long or anything.

From the beginning, you knew that Cheolsan Station was nearby.

So, all you have to do is find the shortest route from there to Gwanghwamun.

All we had to prepare was spare supplies in case something went wrong.

Park Soo-ah asked what would happen if there were zombies in the subway, but whatever.

He immediately said it was a stupid question and looked at me while correcting himself.

Thanks to you, the burden has piled up, but I’m strong, right?

I guess I have no choice but to live up to expectations.

Above all, we have fought underground.

So there is nothing to worry about.

I don’t know what’s in the basement, but it’ll be okay.

Even if there are nobles, I can break through.

After thinking about it, it became clear.

There would be no better strategy than going down to the subway and moving along the railroad.

To be honest, it’s not completely risk-free, but it’s attractive, right?

If you’re lucky, you’ll be completely immune to annoying zombies.

Even the survivors are virtually immune.

I’m worried about water and supplies, but whatever.

Because there are usually convenience stores inside the station.

Even if I can’t do it, it will be enough to replenish my energy to move to the next station.

It’s okay even if the state of history is bad.

The subway station wasn’t as far away as I thought.

All you have to do is pass by and walk until you find a decent station.

A perfect operation except for the real risk of getting lost.

Since Kang Ye-rim is there, you don’t have to worry about getting lost.

So, we actively pursued this operation without hesitation.

Other people said it needed to be considered to some extent, but whatever.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was hard to find anything better than this.

Above all, there is no such thing as trying and deciding in this damn world.

If you decide to move by land and make a decision, it’s over if you fail.

So if you’re going to do it, do it with a high probability of success.

Still, everyone says we should think carefully about it first… but there is nothing we can do.

I had to complete my reconnaissance of Seoul within ten days at the latest.

And I had to find a means of transportation and quickly return to Busan.

It would be a bit absurd for me to make a decision carefully, hmmmm.

The longer it takes, the more worried Noh Chang-hoon becomes.

Above all, it also reduces the time to deal with it.

So I guess we need to drive a wedge here?

“Ah, well. If you don’t agree, I’ll go alone.”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t that nonsense? Even if I go alone.”

After saying that, he deliberately put his baton on his shoulder to look strong.

Well, the effect didn’t seem to be bad.

Kang Ye-rim and Park Soo-ah were so embarrassed that they were rolling their eyes.

But most importantly, Park Si-hyuk stared at me without any embarrassment.

“It seems like you are very confident in your strength since you are going alone.”

“Eh, there are bound to be a lot. I am strong.”

“…You are reckless.”

“Tell me I’m confident, not reckless.”

“Thanks to you, I look a lot like someone I know.”

After saying that, Park Si-hyuk let out a long sigh.

Then he slowly raised his head and opened his mouth.

“Good. Let’s do that.”

“En? Is it okay if I don’t worry any more?”

“Anyway, it’s clear that now is the time to roll the dice.”

“Okay, I thought about it well.”

I patted Park Si-hyuk on the back a few times.

If it had been vague until the end, I would have disliked it a bit.

When it was time to make a decision, I liked making it right away.

So now all I have to do is live up to expectations.

So, I spoke for a while, saying that I would not let anyone be disappointed.

It was an embarrassing thing to call a speech, but it had an effect.

It was clear that everyone’s expressions had improved.

If it wasn’t effective, my expression would have been crumpled. is not it?

Anyway, that’s how the decision came to an end.

It was soon time to eat dinner and go to bed.

So the four of us got ready together and tried to fall asleep.

“Do you mind talking for a moment?”

Park Si-hyuk smiled awkwardly and came towards me.

It didn’t seem like there was any other intention, it just seemed like they came literally for conversation.

Still, just in case, I nodded and raised my left hand up.

“Nothing much… I just thought I needed to stop talking during the journey…”

“Aha. Okay, let’s take it easy. How old are you?”

“I’m 26 years old.”

“Oh! He’s the same age as me. I’m also 26 years old.”

“Aha. Then, I will speak comfortably from now on.”

“Yes, take it easy.”

That’s what he said, but Park Si-hyuk’s speaking style wasn’t very comfortable.

A feeling of being slightly dissatisfied with something.

I wondered why on earth, but I couldn’t figure out anything.

You may hate me because I’m clumsy, but I’m strong, right?

So, it was a moment when I was wondering what the reason was.

“It may sound strange, but you look a lot like someone I know.”

“No, whatever. It doesn’t sound strange. I told you how many times.”

“Then can we talk more?”

“Yes. Honestly, I’m curious too. Someone who looks like me?”

At the very least, he is probably a strong, cool, and respectful person.

There are so many advantages that even the disadvantages will fade, mmmm.

Maybe it was before, but now I really tried.

“Although he came out looking messy and messy, he was a really kind person.”

“…is it an insult?”

“No, it can’t be an insult. Because he really was like that.”

“Okay, well…”

“He has a strong sense of responsibility and was previously in charge of our club.”

“Club?”

“Yes. We are from the same club at the same university.”

Ah, somehow it felt familiar.

That would be the case if we survived together in the same club at the same university.

And given the circumstances, the person who looked like me must have been from that club.

“Even if you try, you won’t be able to take it off. There must be only a few people left.”

“…Yeah, well. Yes, you know, it’s a bit difficult to survive.”

I didn’t bother to ask why.

I could tell just by looking at his eyes that he seemed to be reminiscing about something.

There must have been more people who had a bad breakup than those who had a good breakup.

So, I thought it would be better to get to the point without talking too much.

“If you have something to say, say it now. I’m going to sleep soon.”

“…Please take care of me. Me and our juniors too.”

“Ah, that’s what I would say too. Please take care of me.”

When I said that and held out my hand, Park Si-hyuk grabbed my hand and shook it.

I guess I met a good person here too.

Isn’t it good to have a good luck if you suffer the hardships you have suffered?

But that’s not a bad thing, right?

So, we held hands like that for a while and smiled.
