“Don’t let go of the person next to you. You have to line it up well. Understand? Then let’s go~.”
At every word from Doayun, the children who stood in two rows followed Doayun side by side.
Hold the hand of the child sitting next to you with one hand and the shoulder of the child sitting in front of you with the other hand. Although it was clumsy, there was a system in place.
Is it possible to lead 42 children at this level?
“Wow… … . That’s amazing. Teacher Ayun.”
Gong Ga-eun was truly impressed.
I was a bit surprised too. How can kids who didn’t listen to anything I say follow them that well?
It seems to be true that kids discriminate against people based solely on their appearance.
We went down slowly, following the children’s pace.
I was able to see with my own eyes the reality of the apocalypse that I could not feel at the daycare center.
Broken pillars with rebar protruding, broken baby sheds, collapsed ceilings with wires falling down, debris scattered here and there, and a broken car breaking through the walls of the building.
And the corpses and pooled blood in the corner.
A corpse was not just a corpse. Each ‘poetry/body’ was in a different place. The two don’t even appear to belong to the same person.
“Is this a game where you close your eyes and follow the teacher? Got it?”
The children close their eyes tightly at Doayun’s words. Nevertheless, everything is connected and follows along well. I can’t believe you can make kids follow along so intently by just saying the word “game.”
Gong Ga-eun and I followed behind the children, keeping an eye on them to see if any of them fell behind or strayed to the side.
“I… . Mr. Godfather.”
Gong Ga-eun speaks quietly so the kids can’t hear.
“I felt sorry at the convenience store.”
“Which one?”
“Just… Everything. Other people are saying things to Mr. Godfather, but he can’t even protect him as a gunner… . I was also paying attention to those people… … .”
“It’s okay. It’s always been like that. What.”
I think it worked out better. I’m not sure where the two survivors went… I guess we’ll probably never meet again.
“I guess I should have gone to daycare as well.”
“You came just now.”
“But… … .”
Gong Ga-eun trailed off as if she had something to say.
“Ho, by any chance, Mr. Godfather. that… … Nothing much happened at daycare yesterday… … ?”
Nothing much happened.
Except for fucking Doayun all night long!
But you shouldn’t say it.
“Nothing happened.”
“… … … .”
He looks at me with disbelief.
He takes a deep breath and turns his head.
“Well, then… Thank goodness.”
“?”
“Godfather, Mr. Godfather! Please come forward for a moment!”
I can hear Doayun’s voice from the front.
Leaving Gong Ga-eun behind, I went to the front and saw Do Ayun standing in front of the escalator heading to the basement.
The middle part of the escalator was broken and the stairs were sticking out all over the place.
“This… What should I do?”
“There is an emergency staircase on the other side… … . There was ‘that’ there.”
“That? What is that?”
It was a corpse. To be exact, it was a ‘poetry’ among the corpses.
At first glance, I could see that it was only the upper body and the internal organs were spread out underneath.
When I tell Doayun, her face turns pale.
“Woah, I definitely have to go here.”
“Because it wasn’t even connected to the underground parking lot in the first place.”
I had no choice but to pass by.
I looked towards the escalator again.
While there is at least some sunlight on the first floor, you can’t even see what’s underneath the escalator.
“I will go down first.”
“Are you okay?”
“You can’t send the kids away first, right?”
“Well, it’s not that, I’m afraid the stairs will break… … .”
… … what?
But it’s true. I weigh close to 100kg and it might break if I step on it carelessly. You have to go slowly, stepping on it as if you were tapping on a stone bridge.
“If I can pass by, the kids can too.”
“Yeah, right?”
I carefully walked up the escalator stairs. Just by looking at it shaking, it looks dangerous.
Just in case, I go down without turning on the flashlight.
Creak. Squeak. Geek.
Mmmmm. The inside of the escalator is structured like this.
Go down carefully, avoiding the empty stairs in between. It’s easier to get to the basement level than you think. At the end, I jumped.
Crack.
I’m not good at jumping, but I think kids can do it at this level too.
“Teacher Ayun! it’s okay! Come down… … .”
“Be quiet.”
A threatening voice was heard from behind me.
As I try to turn around, something touches my back.
“Don’t look back.”
Heavy feeling. At least it is a blunt weapon or weapon.
The voice is that of a slightly younger woman. I’m a little nervous too.
For someone who threatens, he is very clumsy. It doesn’t seem like you can have a leisurely conversation.
However, you can’t ignore it with a knife pointed at your back.
“Okay.”
First, let’s follow it obediently.
“Mister, are you a survivor? Is there anyone else up there?”
I had already gone to the first floor and called Teacher Ayun. I can hear Doayun’s voice searching for me from above.
“Yes. Yes.”
“Not a ‘predator’?”
This refers to people who attack other survivors and steal their items.
I never thought this word would appear already.
Of course, I am not a person who takes. Just copy.
“No.”
“Try a little foolish trick… ! The thing on my back right now is a knife.”
“Okay. all right. Because I’ll be quiet. Just tell me what you want. Why are you doing this?”
When it seemed like I wasn’t resisting, I heard a sigh of relief.
“Well, then… … .”
He then asks quietly in a trembling voice.
“Mister, do you have any bandages or medicine?”
When I glanced back, I saw a girl who looked to be a high school student at most, crying.
“Please… … !”
After that, I could vaguely see a person lying down. Although it was twitching, it looked like it was still alive.
There was no leg.
“Please save my dad… … !”
***
Gwanghwamun Station underground bookstore.
On the ground, monsters were destroying statues of great people and cultural assets. Even as the ground shook, a man dressed in black was sitting leisurely reading a book.
A platinum-haired woman cautiously approaches next to him.
“Well, I… Mr. Dokgo.”
“Jun.”
“Ah… yes Mr. Jun. He told me to call him that.”
The man called Jun was concentrating on the book without even looking at the platinum-haired woman in front of him.
“Chu, when should we leave?”
“Read all of this.”
“Then… I’ll wait.”
“… Hilde.”
The woman who was about to turn around stopped at the man’s words.
“Yes!”
“On . Did you see it?”
It probably refers to the suspicious items posted on the exchange that I checked with my colleagues earlier.
“Ah… ! yes. saw. That one on 9999 Coin?”
“I’ve never had anything like this before.”
“… … Yes?”
“No. Talking to myself.”
Hilde tilted her head but didn’t ask any more questions. There were many cases where a man said something ambiguous while talking to himself.
“How many coins do we have available?”
“If we gather all of our party… It’s about 4,000 coins.”
“4,000… … .”
fault.
The man closed the book and stood up.
“Go out to the square.”
“Are you going? You said it wasn’t mission time yet… … .”
“It became necessary to check that item. We have to determine whether it is true or not. There is also a need to find out where the item came from and who uploaded it.”
“I see! Everyone said this was something I got at a convenience store. GU convenience store. There are things that are only sold there.”
“Can you tell which branch it is?”
“Well, that’s… … .”
“No. You’ll find out when you check.”
“Ah… You have the ability, right?”
It was the ability to display on a map where the object of contact had previously been.
“That’s right. This is the ability I stole from that guy earlier.”
“… … .”
Hilde lowered her head without saying a word.
It was because he knew what happened to the person who lost his powers to the man in front of him.
He was stripped of his powers and killed.
To this man in front of me.
“From now on, collect 10,000 coins as quickly as possible. Although it is a waste of money for the coin to go to the owner of this item, it is not a lot of money if you think about it later. Rather, it’s a cheap price compared to finding out who the guy is.”
“Are you actually thinking this? That.”
“Is it necessary? I just need information, not things.”
“Well, then… … . if… … .”
Hilde spoke carefully.
I carefully stroked my stomach.
“Above, things like sanitary products… … Can I?”
“Hygiene?”
“Ah, that… … . Well, I need some… … .”
“… … .”
Dok Go-jun opened the exchange window and checked.
Fortunately, there were sanitary pads. Although it was 9999 coins.
“It may take some time. It’s still early days so it’s hard to collect 10,000 coins.”
“It’s okay! Until then… .”
“Let’s collect it quickly.”
The man immediately left the bookstore.
Hilde, who was left alone, looked at the back of the man who was quietly leaving.
I need you. The man who saved himself.
Although he was cold-blooded and cruel, there was no one in Apocalypse as trustworthy as him.
She was already anxious as she looked at the man.
“Woman, as expected… … . I’m embarrassed to ask you to buy this… … !”
Among the items listed on the exchange, unusually, only condoms were listed for 300 coins.
Since there were hundreds of items posted on the exchange, not everyone could check them all. Only Hilde knew this.
I could have said that I could buy this to save coins, but in the end I couldn’t say it.
‘What will happen if I buy this? If I buy it, I’ll have to use it somehow. If I tell Mr. Jun… … .’
“Ah~~! Oh, how can I say this! That!”
As I jumped up and down in shame, my platinum-blond hair shook.
