I think those with weak minds and bodies would have vomited upon seeing the appearance of that zombie.

Maggots were swarming around and flies were buzzing around.

Oh, one of the guys just opened his mouth and it was full of bugs.

Even the inside of the container looked like it was covered in some kind of mucus… Really, oh my…

The smell was truly horrible, like the smell of a rotting corpse.

Even here, far away, I could smell a small amount of it carried by the wind, but it was a smell that made me frown even if I only smelled it for a short while.

” Ugh.. ”

Seoyeon must have felt nauseous.

Those four started coming towards us.

He couldn’t run because his feet were rotten.

Normally, it would be impossible for someone like that to survive, but is it because of the tentacles connected to the back?

I tried shooting the tentacle with my revolver just to be on the safe side.

Taang!

Phew!

Hits the tentacles exactly.

Then the tentacles began to twitch madly and the zombies connected to them fell to the ground.

” Oh my…. ”

But it didn’t die. It was just incapacitated.

I thought it might be okay to just hit the head, but I quickly gave up after seeing that one of the four was moving even though it had no head.

These don’t die while those tentacles are connected.

So, we can just shoot those tentacles to neutralize them and then burn them.

” Sister. Shoot the tentacles connected behind me with your crossbow. Then they will be incapacitated, and I will burn them. ”

There will be oil left in the gas tank of a nearby car.

While Seoyeon was disabling those things, I decided to go get some oil.

But contrary to my expectations, obtaining oil was not an easy task.

It was easy to open the oil filler cap, but it was difficult to drain the oil inside.

Even when I tried to put the tube inside and take it out, the inside was complicated and it didn’t go in well.

This won’t work. I guess I’ll have to give up on the car.

We won’t be able to target passenger cars with the oil tank inside, but rather trucks with the tank outside.

I looked around to see if there were any trucks, but there was only one.

trailer.

I had to go to that trailer that had that container.

####################

Swish swoosh! Scream!

I was firing at the tentacles with a bolt on my crossbow as Dacheon suggested.

Dacheon has subdued one and I have subdued three, but what is not reassuring is that after a certain amount of time, the tentacles will recover and start moving the zombies again.

So I reloaded the bolt and fired again as my tentacles recovered.

However, the number of bolts was limited.

In normal circumstances, I would have been able to retrieve the bolt, but it was very difficult to approach and retrieve it from an opponent who kept coming back to life.

The pole is now unusable as it is lying around, wedged in the trailer door.

I looked around anxiously at the dwindling number of bolts.

This empty lot, originally used as a parking lot, had cars parked in an orderly manner, but it was now a mess because of the trailer. However, the path the trailer had apparently passed through was still open.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I ran away with Dacheon right now?

Why did Dacheon decide to kill that thing?

As the questions continued to arise, Dacheon appeared near the trailer.

In Dacheon’s hands were an oil can and a tube that he had gotten from nowhere.

Dacheon opened the driver’s seat of the trailer and came out with something.

Then he went to a certain place, inserted something like a key he had into the lid, turned it, and opened it.

He inserted a tube into it and began to transfer its contents into the oil drum.

When I thought Dacheon was going to get the oil, I didn’t ask how he was going to get it.

For some reason, I had a feeling that Dacheon would really come to my rescue.

It was truly amazing to see the process with my own eyes.

” How on earth does he know that stuff? ”

It was as if he was trying to figure out the structure of the trailer.

A child who, despite his young age, possesses considerable knowledge and knows how to use that knowledge.

If we lived in a peaceful era, I would have been a child who would have seen the light, but now, after a long time, this world is really annoying.

####################

It was all a gamble.

The car doors were open, the keys were in the ignition, and there was still gas in the tank – it was all a gamble.

And even this oil can and tube that I have.

To be honest, I was at a loss, but I got it anyway.

It was annoying when I couldn’t reach the trailer handle or had to open the fuel cap with both hands because it didn’t fit in one hand.

After confirming that there was no more oil coming out of the trailer, I picked up the oil can and ran towards the zombie.

As the connected tentacles twitched from being hit by the bolts, oil was sprayed on the corpses and tentacles.

Now, as I was getting closer to light it, it started to flap its wings like a fresh live fish, perhaps because it had been splashed with oil.

“” Kieeeek!! “”

“” Kaaah!! “”

Why is it like this?

It started fluttering around and then suddenly started to dry up like dried fish.

I stared at it blankly, then felt an inexplicable creepy sensation, so I quickly lit it.

Thanks to the oil, it caught fire right away and started burning fiercely.

As the zombies burned, they became more and more withered and their screams became louder.

The tentacles connected to the back also started to move, and upon closer inspection, I saw that something was being moved through the tentacles.

I followed the tentacles and looked at the worm inside the container.

Clink Clink

The pulse in Kochi started to beat and then started to tear!

I poured all the remaining oil into the container, lit it, and ran to Seo-yeon, shouting.

” Sister! Ride your bike! We have to get out of here!! ”

I don’t feel good. Something just doesn’t feel right.

Instinctive warnings ring out incessantly.

Seoyeon heard my shouts, grabbed her crossbow, and set up the two bicycles so they could start right away.

” I’ve figured out my way out! Follow me!! ”

I got on my bike and started pedaling.

Seoyeon was heading towards the highway along the same path the trailer had traveled.

It seems like he’s planning to run away towards Yeoju.

” Kaaa …

A horrifying scream, the most I’ve ever heard in my life, echoed from behind.

And then there was a crashing sound, followed by the sound of something following.

I glanced behind me to confirm its existence.

He was 3m tall, the same height as Kochi, his entire body was bulky, and he was such a monster that even Hell’s spearmen would call him “brother”.

The monster was running towards me with its eyes shining.

If you get caught with that, you’ll get ripped to pieces.

The speed of that monster was slightly faster than that of a bicycle.

The distance spread is 200m.

If this continues, I might get caught.

It’s not like there’s a road that leads into the village.

Because now there is only one highway.

What should I do… I’m okay. Even if I get torn and ripped here and there, I’ll eventually regenerate.

The problem is Seoyeon. I absolutely cannot stand to see Seoyeon die.

We have to find a way. A way for the two of us to escape from that monster.

####################

From then on, I ran 10km without resting.

Even though I ran like this, the distance between me and the monster wasn’t that great.

About 500m away? I couldn’t see it clearly, but I could hear it running towards me with a thumping sound, so I thought it was chasing me.

Seoyeon was panting, her breathing reaching her chin. It seemed like her physical strength had reached its limit.

Strangely enough, I didn’t find it that hard.

There probably wasn’t any factor that would increase stamina…

I saw a tunnel ahead of me.

The tunnel was extremely dark because no light reached it.

I went ahead of Ha Seo-yeon and walked forward, shining a flashlight.

There were cars inside, but it was passable.

There was an emergency exit built for the purpose of evacuating in case of a fire.

…If it’s over there…

” Sister. Go over there. Sister is not feeling well right now. ”

” Phew… Huh… D.. Will I get caught..? ”

” You probably won’t be that intelligent. Just move on and stay quiet. ”

I pressed the right side of the emergency exit, and the door spun around like a top.

I sent Ha Seo-yeon away first, then went in myself and returned the emergency exit to its original state.

” Here.. ”

The exit was a highway inside another tunnel. At first glance, it seemed like they had exited on the other side.

If this happens, we’ll have to hide here until the guy passes by.

” Sister. Over there. Do you see that big truck? Let’s hide the bikes and luggage underneath and go inside a car somewhere. ”

I suggested hiding the body. Seoyeon was so tired that she couldn’t run away anyway.

So, you need to hide for a while and recover your stamina.

Knock knock knock knock knock

” Kaaah!!! “

The boy’s running and screaming echoed through the tunnel.

Maybe it was because it was inside a tunnel, but the sound was really loud.

Seoyeon hid in the back of the truck where her bike was hidden, and I hid in the trunk of a car.

” Kaaa …

Boom! Kookwakwak! Kwakwak!

A tremendous noise echoed through the tunnel.

The guy seemed to be pounding and breaking something in anger.

I hope they just pass us by without finding us.

But as if God had abandoned us, a loud noise was heard from the emergency exit.

Boom!

Maybe it’s the sound of an emergency exit being destroyed…

My heart is pounding. Did he find out where we were? Or did he see us from a distance, entering the emergency exit in the dark?

It sounded ridiculous, but somehow the muscle monster thought it could be possible.

” Krrr….. “

The guy was just whining softly. He might be looking around, since I couldn’t hear any walking.

…. Are you looking for where we might be..? Are you even considering that we might be tired and need a rest…?

My heart is pounding harder.

I didn’t expect that guy to have that much intelligence. He’s pretty intelligent for a muscle monster.

Knock knock knock knock

There was a monster walking. What on earth was it doing?

” Hehehehehe.. “

… Are you laughing now..?

I got goosebumps. No way.

Surely not…

I felt a vibration in the car I was hiding in.
