Chapter Index

    #19

    Of course, I’m not going there simply because there’s a woman there.

    If that were a reason, it would be a reason.

    Anyway, neither we nor you can get far from here. Since we can’t go to the surface for the time being, we have no choice but to meet someday.

    Will I be able to go and fight then and win? That was impossible. There are guns and over 100 people there.

    What if you can’t win?

    I should join.

    Coincidentally, this is a group centered around the injured and children. I am the only adult male with sane limbs. That’s not a group that would feel threatened.

    I’m a little worried about Wei Nara, who is gnashing her teeth at the people there, but my father isn’t dead, so I guess I can control it to some extent.

    Above all, I haven’t completely prepared the items yet.

    In order to get the right items, you have to search outside, such as supermarkets and pharmacies, but it’s impossible to do it on your own.

    For the time being, it is better to act together with the other side, secure a pool of goods, and look for opportunities. I have to buy it until the time comes.

    “Huh, huh… !”

    Suddenly the country trembled.

    It was hard to see because he had his head down, but water was dripping from his face.

    “Mister… … . Sister too. really. Thank you so much. Hmm… … ! My father. For saving my dad… … .”

    “Nara… … .”

    Gong Ga-eun hugs Na-ra and comforts her.

    “Thank you… … . thank you… … .”

    Even while sobbing, Nara continues to say thank you.

    Whatever the reason, helping people is a great thing.

    Of course, I plan to charge the country for the ‘bandage price’ sooner or later.

    But will a country with a temperament obediently pay for the ‘bandages’? What country was defeated even by Yoon Cheol-woo, who held a gun? It probably won’t be easy.

    But even more so… It makes me want to eat it.

    He looked up and down Nara’s whimpering body and savored his appetite.

    I think Ga-eun was looking at me with a slightly pouty expression… I tried my best to pretend not to know.

    After changing Uncle Wei Mujin’s bandage, Nara continued to stop the bleeding on my father’s leg from the side.

    I called Do A-yoon and Gong Ga-eun separately.

    “You know Ga-eun. There is a group of 100 survivors nearby. We will join them.”

    “Sa, people? thank god… .”

    Do-A-yoon breathed a sigh of relief.

    To be honest, it seems daunting just to play with and manage the kids by yourself.

    If we go to another group, it will be easier to entrust the children to us and take care of them, so the burden on Doayun will go down.

    Gong Ga-eun was a little cautious.

    “But people who callously abandon me like that just because I got hurt… . Will you accept us and the kids?”

    “I’m not sure. You’ll have to bump into it to find out.”

    If someone like Yoon Cheol-woo was leading the group, he might be kicked out, but listening to the country, it doesn’t feel like he’s completely controlling the group. Then, if you appeal through children, it will be possible to join the group.

    “Just go there. And you shouldn’t tell that woman that I can make bread.”

    These two know that I can make bread by shearing my lifespan.

    The two people each nod their heads.

    “Ah… That one?”

    “Mu, of course you should. If they are bad people, they might grab you and tell you to make bread until you die.”

    “I see… .That’s what I heard. I can never say that. Teacher Ayun.”

    Gong Ga-eun pretends to put a zipper in her mouth. These two can be trusted.

    The country has come to me again. There were still tear marks on his face.

    “Mister, are you really going? That way?”

    “That should be it. Because I can’t stay here forever.”

    “If you go, Yoon Cheol-woo, be careful with that bastard. Let me tell you who I am. He’s so psycho that people are more afraid of him than the soldiers.”

    Nara chewed his lips and continued to mutter curses.

    “ Sons. Fuck you bastard… … .”

    “Are you doing that because he asked you to abandon your father?”

    “That… … . Actually, there is one more thing.”

    “What?”

    “That guy. If you want to save Dad, I… If you give it to me, I’ll think about it.”

    “Ah.”

    He’s the same guy as me.

    “That guy is a bad guy.”

    “That fucking bastard. From the first time I saw him, he looked at me with strange eyes and I felt like shit. Ugh… . mister. Do you really have to go there? Can’t I go somewhere else?”

    “I have to go. They said there was a nurse there. Dad’s legs, I’ve stopped the urgent, but I still don’t know when or what will happen.”

    “… … Yes. But there is no medicine… … .”

    “I’ll get the medicine.”

    “… Really?”

    The country looks at me with wide eyes.

    I nodded silently.

    Anyway, you have to stop by the pharmacy at least once. If you make copies of medicines, they will definitely be useful anywhere.

    “Really… … . really. thank you mister. To be honest, it looked a bit like that… … . It’s different from Yoon Cheol-woo. Mr. ”

    “… … .”

    Is it different?

    I don’t know about that.

    Because he will soon make the same request as Yoon Cheol-woo.

    Not only for the country, but also for the female soldiers there.

    Of course, I have no intention of threatening him with force like Yoon Cheol-woo. Because surprisingly, it doesn’t work.

    This can be seen in the fact that they ultimately did not accept a boy with as much pride as Nara. Female soldiers are probably not people who will give in to power.

    You have to use something other than force to make them obey.

    Since ancient times, women have been vulnerable to pressure from groups and those around them.

    Once you take control of the group, you can do whatever you want after that.

    And I had the means to do so.

    ***

    We got ready and went down to the second basement level.

    Wei Mujin and I supported him together.

    “Leave it alone~. I can go alone~.”

    “What are you talking about? dad! Even with support, I can’t even walk properly.”

    Even though he is only supported by a middle-aged man, his mobility is so uncomfortable that it is difficult to even walk properly. I didn’t just ask you to abandon me.

    If you go like this and get attacked by monsters or looters, you’ll be stuck.

    Sigh.

    When I opened the clumsily closed iron door, a connecting passageway appeared.

    A narrow space where two adults can barely pass. Pipes and various communication facilities can be seen on the walls. It may be useless now.

    “Be careful not to bump your head, and follow slowly.”

    “Yes. Guys! Did you hear?”

    “Yes~!”

    Certainly, even in situations like this, hearing the children’s answers brightens the mood. Uncle Wimujin and I both smile happily when we see the kids.

    The surrounding background was a complete ruin, but we slowly headed to the next building, in the mood for a picnic.

    And when I hadn’t walked far, I heard a sound coming from the other side.

    Crash.

    “What, what! Are you a monster?”

    “Stop! Don’t move!”

    A warning voice echoed from the other side of the dark connecting passage. It’s a very nervous reaction.

    The sound of a gun being loaded is heavy. That looks real.

    The moment I was contemplating whether to come forward, Gong Ga-eun took the lead and shouted over there.

    “Well, we… ! It’s a person!”

    “… !?”

    As soon as Ga-eun’s voice was heard, the other side began to murmur.

    “… female? Did you just hear a woman’s voice?”

    “Are you a person? A woman? Are you alone?”

    “You are not alone! There are children here too!”

    “Children?”

    The murmur on the other side grew louder when they heard that there were children.

    “, wait there for now! We’re coming!”

    “There are a lot of people here, so don’t worry and follow along calmly!”

    People who were once harsh treat you kindly.

    If I had come forward, wouldn’t I have at least fired a threatening blank bullet?

    At least it wouldn’t have come out favorably.

    The sound of footsteps gets closer, and men with guns appear from the front.

    “Ugh~!”

    “I’m scared~!”

    All of a sudden the children start crying. The men were both relieved and embarrassed when they saw the kids.

    Some come to me too.

    “Are these people also part of the group?”

    “Yes.”

    As I answered, I looked at Nara’s eyes.

    He just supports his father without saying a word.

    This means that Yoon Cheol-woo is not here.

    The men who were slowly examining our appearance with a flashlight were surprised when they saw the flashlight.

    “Then this is the injured person… . Ugh. Representative above?”

    “Didn’t you follow the search party earlier? Hmm… . What happened to my legs?”

    “Hehe… It just so happened that it happened like that.”

    Wei Wujin smiled carefree. Even though the bandages wrapped around my legs were red.

    Thanks to this, the aggro is drawn to that side and doesn’t even pay attention to me.

    “No Risks!”

    “This is safe too! They’re all just kids!”

    “Take all the kids to the parking lot!”

    After confirming that this was a combination of children, women, and the injured, the men felt relieved and led us to the parking lot.

    If I had come alone, I would never have been able to join so easily.

    In any world, underdog cosplay works well.

    As I follow the men into the underground parking lot, people are making noise and looking at me.

    “Oh my, what are they? … They’re kids, right? Aww, it’s cute.”

    “Oh my… . How did I end up here?”

    “Let’s make some space for the kids there. Come on!”

    The ones who moved first were the ladies.

    They seem to be people who worked in restaurants or as cleaners in this area.

    We take an active role in soothing the children and creating a place for them to stay.

    I looked at that figure and quickly scanned the situation in the underground parking lot.

    About four or five female soldiers in military uniform. The remaining men were about 30 people. About half of them are carrying guns. A guard post was set up at the entrance to the parking lot.

    Other than that, there are older people and several women. There are also old men dressed as security guards.

    It’s not a group whose number of people has been selected. It’s just a place where survivors from all over the place gather.

    Everyone is sitting around and spending time. Most of them seem to be staying inside their parked cars.

    As the women were taking the children away, a man with a gun ran over and reported to someone.

    “There are 47 people. Two men. Three women. I am forty-two children, about five or six years old. Among them, one man and one woman were from our search party, but they seem to have fallen behind.”

    “Hmm. You worked hard.”

    The voice that received the report was a low-pitched female voice.

    “All children are designated as civilians under protection. Among our personnel, the injured are assigned to the medical team, and I personally check on the remaining adults.”

    “Ah… Yes.”

    “What is the answer?”

    “Yes. Okay!”

    “Okay.”

    If you just listen to his voice, he looks quite young, but his young age is very overbearing.

    They treat the man who reports to them as if they were some kind of private. This one looks much older.

    When only me, Gong Ga-eun, and Do Ayun were left, the female soldier came this way.

    Looking up close, she is an ice beauty. Cold but sharp.

    An ID card with the Ministry of National Defense written on it sways above a chest that cannot be hidden by a military uniform.

    “ Welcome to the underground shelter. I am the company commander of the 22nd Special Forces Company of the Defense Forces. It’s Siyu Choi. Among the new personnel, are there any who have served in the military?”

    That question immediately draws attention to me. Choi Si-yu also scans me up and down.

    “The man there. What is your name?”

    “This is Daebu Park.”

    “Army?”

    “Yes.”

    “Was he an executive?”

    “It’s a bottle.”

    “… Really?”

    Siyu Choi pointed his chin to the other man next to him and gave him a gun.

    gun.

    M16. For reserve forces.

    There was only one reason to give this to me.

    “For those who have served in the military, listen carefully. The government declared a state of emergency yesterday. Martial law and conscription have been declared, so in accordance with the current law, as of current time… … No, you are a conscripted soldier, so please follow my orders. Above.”

    My body stiffens and I can’t speak.

    I grabbed the gun that the man gave me as if he was throwing it to me while I was still.

    therefore. Look at me now.

    Are you telling me to reenlist in the military?

    “Welcome to enlist. Sergeant Park Dae-bu.”

    Fuck. Is it going to be a disaster?
