Is it because something like that happened yesterday?

When I woke up in the morning, I felt better than I expected.

No, I can’t help but feel good.

You became friends with someone you were a bit uncomfortable with, right?

So, the moment I was humming and making my bed, I made eye contact with two other people.

“Ah.”

A short sigh. The awkward silence that followed after that.

It was Park Soo-ah who broke the suffocating silence, where each second felt like a minute.

“Sister, are you feeling good?”

“Ah, yes. Something good happened.”

“Ah.”

Park Soo-ah nodded and then finished making her bed.

Kang Ye-rim, who was next to me, also smiled awkwardly and started preparing breakfast.

So I didn’t want to be left behind, so I cleaned up my surroundings and realized one thing.

“Wait a minute. Did you raise your voice?”

“Yes. Why?”

“…Why did you increase it?”

“My sister is 5 years older than me.”

“…But you said that when we first met?”

“Well, I didn’t want to lose in the lead-up.”

“Aha.”

“And since she has a young face, I thought she was the same age as me.”

I felt quite good when I heard that.

Who would feel bad after being told that they look younger?

And even though I let go, I didn’t feel that bad.

Because I was also trying to suppress the momentum.

So, I was smiling for a while, and Park Soo-ah continued to speak beautifully.

“That on your ring finger is a wedding ring, right? Your husband must be happy.”

“Ah, well. That’s right.”

“Were you married before the incident?”

“No, after that. I got it after the ring map.”

“Ah… Is your husband a good person? No, you must be a good person.”

“Oh, my husband?”

Honestly, there was a lot to say about Noh Chang-hoon.

From our first meeting until now, we have done so many things together.

If you just list the big things, time will pass by quickly.

There are so many memorable things, starting with the fake wedding.

So originally it was right not to say anything.

It’s not something I can talk about briefly… There’s no need to talk more.

But when I came to my senses, they were already chatting.

Yes, until you finish cleaning up after breakfast.

Well, it was clear that it wasn’t a nuisance.

I hurriedly looked at other people’s expressions and it seemed okay.

It would probably have been a suitable topic to wake me up on a tiring morning.

…I didn’t forget to end the chat properly just in case.

Above all, now is the time to go on an adventure.

Preparations have already been completed for a long time.

All that was left was to open the building door and go to the subway.

But contrary to what I thought, people did not move easily.

I don’t know what everyone was thinking, but they were hesitating.

Looking at the expression, it looks like there is something like fear or fear.

So, just as I was about to say something to alleviate that, Park Si-hyuk opened his mouth.

“…Let’s go!”

There was no need to say anything else.

The four of us went out through the door we had seen yesterday and faced the ruined city again.

And I started to get nervous about dealing with zombies at any time.

I couldn’t see any zombies around, but that couldn’t have been possible.

This highly evolved variant favored ambushes and surprise attacks.

Above all? From the moment I opened the door and walked out, I suddenly felt eyes on me from somewhere.

That mysterious gaze looked at us for a moment and then disappeared, but whatever.

It was clear that they were watching us from somewhere.

They’ll probably attack us if they think we look weak.

It’s not like you’ll lose if you fight, but it’s obvious that it’ll be annoying.

So, I modified my weapon so that I could exercise my skills at any time.

Fortunately, no zombies appeared until we entered the subway.

I’m sure it’s there somewhere, but whatever.

If they don’t target us right away, that’s fine.

Above all, I couldn’t pay attention to the outside as I had to slowly explore the inside of history.

The inside of history was much dirtier than we thought.

Is this because so many people have died here since the incident broke out?

Every time I shined the light of the flashlight, something dark and red appeared here and there.

Starting from the palm, the identity is unknown, no.

…A lot of things whose identity I didn’t want to know were abandoned and piled up in history.

But that doesn’t mean you can stop.

Therefore, I, who was in the lead, moved forward with great strides, shining my flashlight.

“…Ugh.”

Even if I tried not to moan, I couldn’t.

Every time I took a step, something ominous clung to me.

There were no zombies, but everything else felt like it was gnawing away at my sanity.

At least it’s me who can endure this much… It looks like other people are having a hard time just by looking at it.

He hasn’t said anything yet, but his expression is dead.

For some reason, the more Kang Ye-rim walked, the more vitality came back to her body.

I didn’t really know why, but… it seemed like he was excited.

“Ah! Now, if you just go through that ticket gate, you can go to the subway tracks!”

Kang Ye-rim pointed at the sign and laughed.

From here, you can go down to where you can catch the train to Jangam.

After that, there was a lot of chatter, but no one answered.

Who would memorize all the roles in the first place?

And that’s not important in the current situation.

Kang Ye-rim, who realized the situation late, cried, but no one took care of her.

No, it would be better to say that I couldn’t take care of it.

I was nervous because I didn’t know what kind of people would be here.

I could see everyone flinching at any sound.

Still, it didn’t seem like there was anything dangerous in history.

I searched the surrounding area for several minutes, but I couldn’t see anything.

So, I carefully crossed the turnstile and started going down the stairs.

There was nothing moving inside.

There are only abandoned things.

The situation was a little better than upstairs, but it didn’t change the fact that it was miserable.

I don’t know how it ended up like this, but I understand the situation.

A half-open screen door and a stopped subway.

The subway windows were blocked by something dark and red, and even ominous sounds.

It seems that everyone, except for a few lucky passengers, ended their lives here.

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a can of zombies.

As things went on like this, the plan became uncertain.

If I had to force it, I could force it somehow, but whatever.

It’s not surprising if zombies appear in the subway at any time.

Although it is made of iron and is strong… it is not completely reliable.

More than anything, the scariest thing about zombies is that they evolve quickly.

It probably evolved somehow even in that closed space.

It wouldn’t matter if they evolved to minimize activity and survive for a long time, but ugh.

There’s a good chance that’s not the case, so we have no choice but to be cautious.

But that didn’t mean I could back down.

We’ve already come this far, but that’s the most important thing.

They say that if you travel along the tracks for just a few hours, you can safely get to Gwanghwamun.

Of course, we can also get information about that group of survivors.

So I decided to go alone and turned my head.

“…Guys, what do you want to do?”

The three didn’t say anything, but came forward.

That alone was enough of an answer, so I took the lead without hesitation.

Push the half-open screen door with force to fully open it.

I almost tore off the rusted and dented subway door and went inside.

And with a confident expression on his face, he walked away holding a flashlight.

Honestly, it was scary.

Darkness and silence lay heavy and thick beyond the tracks.

Of course, no one knows what will come out of it.

I chose the track to move comfortably, but I could have had a hard time here.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t hesitate, right?

When I think about the road I’ve taken so far, it’s been harder than this.

So, I started walking forward without fear.

As I walked, whenever my hand waved, a ray of light also waved up and down.

Each time the light source illuminated beyond the tracks, a faint thing appeared and disappeared.

Fortunately, there was nothing alive inside.

So we continued walking along the tracks.

Walking along the tracks felt quite strange.

The road may be bumpy, but this is a place where people should not walk.

So I continued walking under the strange feeling that I was committing something illegal.

I probably walked for an hour or two.

There were still no zombies to be seen.

Although the track was dark, it was walkable using a flashlight.

There were a few floods or blockages along the way, but it wasn’t enough to make movement difficult.

“Huh?”

But what appeared before my eyes now was a huge barricade.

I don’t know how they did it, but there were cars and various furniture on the tracks.

It wasn’t just piled up, it was covered in brown lumps.

I hit it a few times, but it wasn’t something that could easily be broken.

In fact, it has become clear that we will not be able to move forward at this point.

In the end, it seemed like the plan needed to be revised here.
