episode_0158

Three arrows pierced Hyuksu’s heart.

Bright red blood flowed from the bow and soaked the floor.

blood.

Although I saw countless deaths, watching humans kill humans was definitely a strange and scary thing to watch.

‘But what’s with that expression…?’

An expression filled with relief rather than guilt.

The pupils looked so clear, without the slightest tremor.

I carefully clenched my fists to stop my hands from shaking.

fear.

After they became capable,

For the first time, I felt afraid of humans.

Despite the many looks of fear directed at him, Hanseong began to relax leisurely.

Stretch your neck by bending it left and right,

Turn your arm around once.

After completing all preparations in a leisurely manner, he throws away his bow and walks towards Baekgol, holding only a spear.

When Hanseong showed his back,

A command from the Virgin followed that confused them.

“Get ready to hunt.”

Bait, restraint, finish.

They are divided into three groups and have their own signals to hunt mutants.

To prepare for hunting meant to follow Hanseong.

“But brother…!”

“Get ready.”

Would you follow a man who commits the atrocity of murder?

It was an incomprehensible command, but I was speechless because it was the Holy Mother’s command.

The Virgin Mary’s ability to read the minds of others.

‘There must be a reason, right?’

Trusting his ability and judgment that had allowed them to survive for a long time, they began to prepare weapons.

*

There are as many as four variants.

Either me or you all die.

Although I came up with a reasonable reason, humans do not live very rationally.

In the worst case scenario, I was willing to risk fighting.

How are you?

It must have felt that way when you saw the sub-leader named Seongmo giving orders.

Anyway, thanks to the Virgin Mary’s quick judgment, all the troublesome things were sorted out.

Not bad.

He’s also quick-witted.

good.

The thought of having a satisfied subordinate makes me burst out laughing.

“Keee!!”

“Hey, you’re going out? Wait a minute, why are you so impatient?”

When I was walking towards the white bones that were wearing grime like a child.

The Virgin Mary grabbed my shoulder and pulled me up.

“For other roles, we are sufficient. Could you please finish it for me?”

“Finish? Are you asking me to hit the last hit?”

“Yes. There is no one on our side who can kill that thing.”

The Virgin Mary’s fingers were pointed at the white, hard outer shell of the bone.

It barely got stuck in the spear I threw with all my might, so it would be difficult to kill it unless I hit it directly.

“Okay, give it a try.”

A situation where other variants may soon arrive.

This was not the time to brag that I could do it alone.

It would be nice if you could help me.

“Start!”

As soon as the Holy Mother gave the order, the two powerful men ran toward Baekgol without hesitation.

Chains held in their hands.

I twirled the end of the chain with a round weight and threw it toward the spear I had set in place.

“Oh?”

Originally, it would not have been possible to catch the polished white bone, but the two spears embedded at an odd angle provided an excellent support.

The two people holding the chain turn around in a circle and wrap the chain around their bodies.

The ten talented people who ran out next grabbed the end of the chain and pulled it, as if playing a tug-of-war, fixing the white bone.

The Virgin Mary shouted out a word at that moment.

“Now!”

“Are you coming?”

I also grabbed the spear and ran straight away.

Three big sweeps.

Once, twice, three times.

And jump.

Fly through the sky and bring down the spear on the head of the white skeleton…

“Master!!!”

At that moment, Baekhwa’s screams filled with urgency burst out.

Could it be that other variants have already arrived?

I quickly turned my head and looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find the mutant anywhere.

where…? I don’t have any…?

“Oppa! Below!!!”

I looked down at Yeoreum’s scream.

A pit beneath my feet, in front of my white bones.

It’s sticking out its sharp claws towards me from that hole… .

“Mole…?!”

Big, thick hands and sharp nails.

The face had lost its human form, and only the large mouth filled all the space.

Another mouth within a mouth full of sharp teeth.

And there were other mouths inside, and every mouth was full of disgusting teeth.

The hand is a mole.

The face is an earthworm.

It certainly looked like it was specialized for digging and moving around.

“Pfft…!”

I quickly twisted my body to dodge the mole’s attack, but I could not avoid rolling on the floor.

“Are you hurt?”

“uh.”

He answered by spitting out the dirt that had entered his mouth.

Summer and Winter stand as if guarding me.

Baekhwa also plunged an arrow into the mole’s body.

“Guuuk!!!”

“Stop that!!!”

The mole that was hit by the arrow stretched out its claws toward the white bone chain while struggling in pain.

“That variant can pass through arrows!”

The extent to which Baekhwa’s arrow gets stuck.

At that level, the arrows fired by other abilities, especially those with strength abilities, would have been effective enough.

“Bow!!!”

The Virgin also ordered to shoot an arrow,

As countless arrows rain down on him, the mole gives up trying to break the chain and immediately digs into the ground to hide.

“Baekhwa! Where?”

“That’s it… Now it’s under the white bone… No, it’s moving again… It’s still moving…!”

It is impossible to report the movements of a continuously moving mole unless it is a computer that calculates coordinates.

then?

Close your eyes while holding the spear.

Calmly breathe in and out and sharpen your senses.

“Where are you?! Where are you?!!!”

“Everyone, watch your steps!!!”

Eliminate surrounding noise.

Cleanly.

Now sound is just a distraction that disturbs me.

The pounding heartbeat is waves.

The movement of the mole pacing at my feet is like the bite of a fish.

With the mind of a fisherman waiting for his catch, I held my breath while holding the spear.

Tuk.

Tuktuduk.

“Asked!!!”

The spear is thrust into the sinking ground.

Fuuuuk-

A heavy sensation felt through my hands.

The sensation of digging into the flesh clearly signaled a fatal wound.

“Oppa, get out of the way!”

“Uh!”

Yeoreum even steps on the half-inserted spear and pushes it deeper.

Blood rising up the window sill.

The sorrowful cries of white bones also announced the cries of moles.

“Kkiss!!!”

“You shouldn’t have gone so crazy when asked if you were scared in the first place.”

He pulls out the spear stuck in the ground and walks towards Baekgol.

Step by step.

White Bone cried out like a child at the death that appeared clearly before his eyes.

“Kkiss… Ksss…”

“Why do you save me?”

“Kkieek!!”

Do you really think I will save your life?

Baekgol’s attitude before death seemed more humane than Hyuksu’s.

Even though I knew I was going to die.

It was a desperate and sorrowful final cry hoping for even the slightest possibility.

Baekgol also took a look at me.

When I first fell into the trap, if they had attacked me with all their might, I would have definitely died.

In that case, it would be natural for me to take a look at it at least once… .

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible to save him.”

White Bone’s intelligence is still at the level of an elementary school student, but it is impossible to estimate its level as time passes.

It’s strange to watch it in the first place.

“Still, I’ll kill you cleanly.”

It was quite enjoyable.

Looking at it now, it seems a little cute, right?

He wasn’t bad for a zombie.

“If we had met each other in person, we might have become quite close.”

“Kkissss….”

“Goodbye.”

Contrary to his simple words, he lashed out with all his might.

Whoa!

“Kkiee!!! Eh…! Eh…eh….”

After a long death, the white bone stopped moving.

“Baekhwa, what are the rest of the varieties?”

“There is a fight near the front gate.”

“Now?”

“Yes!”

Well, the number of talented people here is 20.

I heard that the number of talented people excluding Hyuksu is 27, so there are 7 vacancies.

Still… if it’s unexpected, it’s unexpected.

Are you holding on without dying yet?

It’s better than you think, right?

As I was letting out silent exclamations, the Virgin Mary approached me.

“I will leave first.”

“Let’s go together. You said it was 4 to 31, right? You have to keep your word.”

“Thank you.”

The Virgin Mary bows her head and runs away.

We followed him to the front gate.

The front gate was already completely ruined.

The iron bars were crushed like pieces of paper and lying on the road, and there were human corpses everywhere.

The corpses all had knife marks along with teeth marks.

It was probably dealt with by a colleague before it became a zombie.

“I’m sure there’s one thing to clean up afterward.”

“Yes….”

Summer covered her mouth at the terrible sight, but I felt more regret than horror.

The residents, who would have been a great labor force and fighting force, have become nothing more than fertilizer… .

This is unfortunate.

Even in the zombie battle, veterans who seemed quite sharp died.

“You can clean up regular zombies, right?”

“Yes.”

With the death of White Bone, the zombies have already lost their group spirit.

Zombies that just rush towards the person in front of them are extremely stupid beings that even capable people, or even ordinary people, can deal with.

The Virgin Mary began to dispose of the remnants of the zombies without much trouble.

Restore the front line with talented people.

After that, a full-scale advance began, accompanied by soldiers who had taken refuge in the building.

“One, two, three, push!”

“Push!!!”

The soldiers consisted of shield soldiers and long spear soldiers, embodying the phalanx of ancient Greece.

The shield is a foreground shield.

The spear looks like an M7 bayonet tied to a wooden stick.

Push and stab, push and stab.

Deal with the zombies with a slow but steady advance.

The entrance to the guard post we arrived at after clearing out the zombie group.

Another variant form following the mole was seen.

It’s a bit subtle to say it’s different…

coalescence?

It looked like a Rokurokubi was riding on Gombo’s shoulder.

“Do something quickly…! There’s someone stepping on it over there!”

At Yeoreum’s urging, I threw the spear in my hand.

However, the head of the pressure variant Rokurokubi integrated into the shoulder confirmed the spear,

Gombo dodged the spear with quick movements, as if he had seen the situation with his own eyes.

It was definitely a square?

then?

“Are the feelings shared?”

More than 85% of the total information received by humans comes through the eyes.

That means if you have twice as many eyes, the amount of information is also double.

No, the usefulness of not having a blind spot would be more than doubled.

I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal, but it was more than I thought.

Gombo, who avoided the spear, continued what he was doing.

“Aaaah!!!”

The ‘cracking’ sound of bones crushing resounds with a scream.

After stepping on one person to get juice, the morel then walks towards the next person.

And there…

Yeoreum’s sister, Jisoo, had collapsed.

“Sister!!!”

Yeoreum runs straight towards Jisoo without any hesitation.

I also tried to run after Yeoreum… .

uh…?

An arrow pierced my back.
