Do-Hoon, Lieutenant Lee, and the rest of the platoon fought hard, but the mutant showed no signs of collapsing.

While attacking with six limbs, it grew in size by eating zombies with the remaining two. Its limbs, which had shrunk when split into eight, recovered to their previous size before splitting.

Do-hoon and Lieutenant Lee thought to themselves, This is already a difficult situation, what should we do if it doubles here?

“Lieutenant! Surely there isn’t another place like that where that monster guy went?”

“Probably not! I’ve never seen a guy like that before!”

“Maybe…?”

Do-Hoon felt a chill at the lieutenant’s uncertain answer. He even thought that perhaps the reason he had been confined to the metropolitan area for such a long time was because of prior preparations to create such a monster.

‘Jjeok’

With a loud noise, the thing I was worried about happened. The limbs that had grown to a sufficient size were splitting apart again.

“All blood…!”

“Mister! Back off!!!”

‘Wheeing!’

The sound of Danhwa’s voice and the sound of wires being projected reached Do-Hoon’s ears.

There was no way that other people could not have heard what Do-Hoon had heard, and the platoon members also followed Dan-Hwa’s words and briefly distanced themselves from Byun-Jong.

With a ‘kwak!’ sound, the fixture dug into the mutant’s body. Naturally, the guy didn’t suffer any serious damage.

He was a fine guy who survived the iron clubs swung by superhumans, so there was no way he would scream if one of those anchors was stuck in his body.

And whether by design or coincidence, one of the split arms ate the wire anchor embedded in the torso.

“Crazy bitch now!”

“I know. And I wish you would stop calling people by that title.”

Joohee, according to the title of the short story, the crazy girl turned on the generator at the signal of the short story. The diesel-powered generator started running with a rough sound and generated electricity.

Sparks flew across the surface of the metal wire. It was like a whip cracking, and it kept making a ‘bang bang!’ sound, either the sound of air bursting or the sound of something being fried by high pressure.

“KkuriRiRiRiRik!!!!”

The mutant creature that had been motionless until now screamed. Its sixteen swollen limbs thrashed about, hitting the ground in all directions.

Every time the guys thicker than the telephone poles hit the ground, a thud was heard and the zombies were busy turning into blood cakes.

Naturally, the surviving zombies who had turned into blood clots due to the high-voltage electricity flowing through their bodies were busy writhing on the ground and emitting a pungent smell.

“Shorts, nice!!”

“All focus all firepower on the mutants! Don’t approach with your blades! If you get swept away, you die too!”

Do-hoon ran. Behind Do-hoon, Lieutenant Lee shouted at the top of his lungs and gave orders to his men.

‘Poohwaak!’

A jet-black fountain of blood burst out from what was presumed to be the guy’s stomach. A lot of rotten bones and flesh poured out onto the floor.

Perhaps, they were the corpses of the zombies that had been eating like crazy until just now.

Even if it is a high voltage current, can this kind of effect be produced?

Danhwa narrowed her eyes as she thought about that and looked at the guy, and sure enough, Do-Hoon was holding a long blade in his hand and dangerously attacking Byun-Jong.

“Mister! I told you to fall, it’s dangerous!”

Despite Danhwa’s words, Dohun continued his attack. As if he absolutely could not miss the opportunity Danhwa had created, he tore at every part of Byunjong’s body that had become uncontrollable.

“Sergeant Kwon! We’re getting shelled! Be careful!”

There were several gunshots as if the sky had farted, and then the head of the shell was pointed at the mutant’s body.

Do-hoon gritted his teeth as he watched the falling shells. Are you going to fall now? Do-hoon thought he had to make a decision now. If he postponed it until the next opportunity, he would never get the chance to catch it.

Do-Hoon thought that the guys had the ability to learn, and no one knew if they would come out with their own defenses after the blow that Dan-Hwa had dealt them this time.

Do-Hoon moved his body diligently, observing the trajectories of the shells and bullets flying in the sky. He swung his sword at the places where the shells were likely to land, splitting the leather.

Even though I was wearing leather gloves, a thrilling electric current ran through my hands. I almost dropped the sword.

Bullets and rockets struck the monster’s body with a resounding ‘bang, bang!’ along with the hot heat.

‘Fit!’

The bullet that he couldn’t dodge passed through Do-Hoon’s cheek. The sonic boom the bullet created was deafening. Something hot flowed down his cheek.

It wasn’t Do-hoon’s concern. Do-hoon trusted his stupidly strong body. If his condition worsened, he could just get a few shots.

Danhwa would probably make a fuss, but he could just get scolded a little. Even if he got hurt a little, if things were resolved well and he could give Danhwa a few chestnut-like punches, he could do it with a smile.

It hurts a little to get a joint punctured, but Do-hoon thought that it was just something he did occasionally as a joke, and that the shoes weren’t bad enough to hurt someone who was injured.

“Kiririri…”

A feeble cry burst out from above Do-Hoon’s head.

The limbs of the guy who had been striking all around as if causing an earthquake were now hanging limply. The heavy weight slammed into the ground, causing the terrain to cave in.

The support disappears. To Do-Hoon, who was hiding under the monster, it was like news that the umbrella that was blocking the shells would no longer function.

It didn’t matter. The mutant felling was a happy victory, and if the shell had been fired from the enemy’s hands, then it would be different, but since it was now our own, there was no danger as long as we quickly got out of the scene.

Do-hoon pulled away. Soon after, Byun-jong’s body fell to the floor with a thud. As if he wasn’t going to be fooled, the firepower continued to pour out.

The generator stopped. The high voltage that had been flowing through the wires disappeared, and only a pungent smell vibrated in the battlefield.

The mutant had completely lost its vitality. The lieutenant and his platoon cheered and began clearing the battlefield with the girls.

“I, I told you not to do anything really dangerous!!!”

The sharp sound of the sword poured down on Do-hoon without mercy. The sword’s clenched fist fell down on Do-hoon’s chest.

‘Tung, tung. Bean, bean.’

To Do-Hoon, who was pumping adrenaline and endorphins, it just felt like a lover’s tantrum.

“There was no need to go that far? Why did you have to do that, sir? This isn’t our job… What if you get hurt!?”

Do-Hoon thought as he watched Dan-Hwa being constantly bullied.

‘Looking at it this way, it’s cute. Well, she was cute to begin with.’

“You weren’t hurt too badly. Do you think I would listen to you? I went in after seeing where I would lie down.”

“Again, again! Is blood flowing out of your face? It’s still gushing out!”

Do-Hoon felt that the sight of such a short story was like a baby bird crying to its mother bird for food. Then he thought quietly to himself.

I don’t know how far away it was that they’re already making a fuss about it being lacking.

Do-hoon held Dan-hwa, who was throwing a tantrum, in his arms. He supported her waist with one hand, and Dan-hwa’s chest pressed against Do-hoon’s. Do-hoon carefully stroked Dan-hwa’s head.

“You thought I’d let this slide…!”

Danhwa, who realized that Dohoon was trying to cover up the matter, tried to stop him, but ended up biting her lips when she heard Dohoon’s next words.

“Be quiet. I’ll eat you up here.”

Danhwa’s body, trapped in Dohoon’s arms, trembled. As far as Dohoon knew, it was not a tremble caused by fear or terror, but rather a clear tremble of anticipation and excitement.

Do-hoon wanted to show it, but he pretended not to notice because he knew that if he did, Dan-hwa, who had already become quiet, would start yelling again.

“Let go quickly… Sir, I need to stop the bleeding.”

A few minutes after holding her in his arms, a quiet request came out of Danhwa’s mouth and reached Dohoon.

As Do-hoon carefully let go, Dan-hwa immediately searched through her bag and took out the first aid kit. A hemostatic agent, a regenerative ointment, and Medi-foam appeared.

Do-Hoon burst out laughing.

He was screaming loudly that blood was gushing out, but judging from the fact that he took out something like that instead of a needle and thread, it seemed clear that the wound was not that big, as he had expected.

“Quickly, face me.”

The face of Danhwa, who was holding the medicine with her shaking hands, was bright red.

*

After quickly administering first aid, I looked up at the old man’s face. The Mediform I had applied was still attached to the old man’s left cheek.

Why doesn’t this troublemaker keep listening to me? If he keeps getting seriously hurt, he’ll really…

This time there were many deaths and many injuries.

It was a very dangerous situation, but this ignorant and foolish old man was overcome by a strange self-consciousness that he was the only one who could do it, and he came back injured.

If the old man’s face had not stopped at that level and had had sunken flesh or had been injured in places like his eyes, I think his head would have turned white.

Still, that’s a good thing.

Without realizing it, my hands kept shrinking on their own. Perhaps it was because my mind became unstable due to a mixture of relief and anxiety.

‘I’ll catch you here and eat you up.’

The words the old man blurted out out of nowhere echoed in my head.

Everyone is watching, so you shouldn’t do that in a place like that…

I found myself clenching and unclenching my fists for no reason, and stamping my feet on the floor without any purpose.

Still… if it’s for the old man, it might not be so bad…

The day was hot.

It may have been because of the bright sunlight, but it was clear that the flames that had broken out here and there also played a big role.

I tried fanning myself to cool down the heat that was building up in my face, but it wasn’t enough.

First of all, I had to sort out the situation quickly. If it was like this even with the old man, it was obvious that other places would be in dire straits by now.

Once the work is done, there will be a chance to cool down and give the old man a proper sermon.

And… that too…

“Why, why is it so hot! It’s annoying.”

“Isn’t it a little cooler than there? The wind is blowing here.”

“Be quiet!”

I wish the old man would just be quiet.
