episode_0114

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, once boasted a population of 9.7 million.

It suffered the most damage due to high population density, but despite this, humanity still survived like weeds and continued its last fight.

“Mr. Lim, did you get anything?”

“Just something… feed, rice, and some canned food.”

Two middle-aged men having a serious conversation.

A young man joined in the conversation with a bright voice that did not fit the atmosphere.

“Oh~ Captain, then is it the first special meal in a while today?”

“Dude, what kind of special food is that?”

“It’s all about eating and living, but it’s nice to see ghosts who die after eating~”

The flirty smile and voice did not fit the atmosphere, but thanks to the young man, the atmosphere was able to avoid the worst.

“…Let’s eat.”

“Oh~ Nice~ I like it~”

Unlike Mr. Ha, who had a negative opinion, Mr. Lim’s worries did not last long.

‘I might really die this time.’

Help from Hanseong, who was her daughter’s lover.

Joining Konkuk University students.

I was lucky enough to survive until this point, but now it felt like my luck had run out.

“What do the talented people say?”

“It’s just the same, but they still tell me to trust only them… .”

“Still the same?”

A large group of zombies broke out in Gangnam.

As a result, Gangnam’s largest survivor’s union suffered a defeat, and fled to Gangbuk to join Lim’s Gangbuk Alliance.

Gangnam and Gangbuk gathered together to form the Seoul Survivors Association and prepare for the second round… .

The intuition built up over many years flashed a deep red light.

I think the head of the Gangbuk Union to which he belongs is a decent person, but the group that fled from Gangnam is somewhat untrustworthy.

To believe in defeat… .

‘Let’s stop thinking.’

The situation has already been decided to be sure.

A group of zombies would eventually cross the bridge and come to Gangbuk, and unless they ran away, a fight was inevitable.

“Let’s eat something.”

“Yes~”

“…Mr. Lim.”

As soon as I left the room, merchants who had been with me since I was a mayor approached Mr. Lim.

“No, Mr. Lim.”

“Why is that so?”

“No, a horde of zombies is right around the corner. What are you doing here?”

“…Then do you run away?”

“Of course!”

Mr. Lim was speechless at the confident answer that felt shameless.

If it’s reasonable, it’s reasonable, but… .

“First of all, aren’t we also part of the union?”

“You’re saying there’s something I did for you there.”

“Thanks to you, we didn’t catch the mutation.”

“That’s because we also contributed!!!”

It was true that the biggest contributor to variant hunting was the tax rate next to it.

Although the Union did not provide tremendous help, the emergence of variants also informed the direction of progress.

“Is there anywhere you can go if you run away?”

“That…your daughter…”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Even Mr. Lim, who was always a gentleman, raised his eyes blue and did not hold back his anger at those words.

“It is enough to cause trouble to your daughters once.”

“Then everyone dies here?”

“Ah~ Madam~ Who dies?”

In contrast to his playful tone, Seyul’s eyes looked as if he would tear the woman in front of him to death at any moment.

“Ah…uh…right, I don’t believe in our tax rate.”

“Right?”

“Well..! Ha..ha… Of course I believe it!”

“Then let’s go back and eat~ Tonight’s dinner is canned food~”

Meal time full of anxiety.

The only thing that seemed fun was the tax rate.

While I was eating like that.

An urgent voice was heard.

“Set!!!”

“Set!!!”

Mr. Lim hurriedly put on his fighting clothes and ran outside, hearing a harsh cry that seemed to tear his throat.

About 200 combatants.

As they lacked combat power, women holding spears could often be found everywhere.

The group was divided into groups of approximately 10, each with one or two leaders standing in front of them.

In the midst of the commotion,

When a man stood in front of them, everyone welcomed him in silence.

“The time has come.”

A low, stern word.

In the silence, a single voice began to resonate in their hearts.

A small group of 10 people came this far.

Total number of people: 378.

200 combatants.

We have become a large group of survivors with 23 talented people.

And now we face the greatest crisis of all time.

No, we were always in crisis.

And I overcame it.

Let’s fight.

Let us fight and win this time too.

Mr. Lim felt hopeful in his speech.

I felt confident that if I followed his words, I would never lose.

That wasn’t the only thing that happened.

Strangely enough, everyone shared the same feeling.

“Let’s fight!!!”

“Kill all the zombies!!!”

“Kill!!!”

Starting with a few people who are yelling evil,

Gradually, people’s voices began to unite into one word.

“Sa.Woo.Ja!”

“Sa.Woo.Ja!”

With your feet pounding, every word you say resonates majestically.

The man standing on the podium waved the flagpole high and shouted loudly.

“Participation!!!”

*

The zombies that filled Dongjak Bridge were so dense that it was difficult to count them.

“That’s a lot.”

“Yes.”

In contrast to his powerful speech, his hand holding the spear was trembling like an aspen tree.

“…It will be okay.”

“Of course.”

As if he was hinting to himself,

The man kept saying, ‘It’s okay.’ I just repeated that one word.

“It’s okay. are you okay. It’s okay.”

Soon after I calmed down a bit, I opened my eyes and looked at the situation.

“Has the number of variants been confirmed?”

“There are four!”

Because it was similar to what he had heard from Gangnam survivors, he was able to relax a little.

One body-enhanced Argos.

Two commanding white bones.

A sneak attack type Rokurokubi.

Although there may be sacrifices among ordinary people due to the number of ordinary zombies, it was expected that the damage to those with important abilities would be small.

“Four will be enough.”

“Yes!”

[This is Gangnam. Can you hear me? Can you hear me?]

A radio call was sent through a preset channel, and the Gangbuk Alliance also responded immediately.

[I can hear you well.]

[Currently, the Gangnam Survivors Association is on standby at Ichon Hangang Park. Have you checked?]

After checking the number of variants, the subordinate drew a circle with his hand.

The man nodded and answered.

[yes. Has confirmed.]

[Since there are four of us, let’s go to the plan.]

[Of course. Good luck.]

[yes. I wish you good luck as well.]

The radio was cut off, and 200 soldiers stood blocking the bridge.

A truck was blocking their path, but it seemed so insignificant in front of the horde of zombies.

“It’s okay. You just have to endure it. All you have to do is hold on!”

The moment the commanding entity falls, it becomes a ragtag mess.

Knowing that fact, the people stood with firm determination, each holding a shield and a spear.

“Keeek!!!!!!!”

Zombies started running with ear-piercing screams.

Kieeek!

Ki-ki-ki-ki–ki-ki—!

The cries of the zombies overlap and resound like the laughter of evil spirits.

thud.

The moment when the front lines of two groups collide.

The operation has begun.

[let’s go.]

“Start!!!”

As soon as the leader’s order is given, 17 combatants break away from the group and charge towards Baekgol.

Those with abilities that begin to pierce hordes of zombies like sharp spears.

“Charge!!!”

“Faster!!!”

Don’t look back, only forward.

Just keep moving forward and move forward.

“Keee!!”

Baekgol also gave an urgent order.

I can’t hear that cry, but

There was an immediate reaction so that everyone knew the content of the cry.

‘Protect!’

The zombies change their target to them and charge.

A large body-enhanced zombie also followed the command and tried to charge at them.

“You are this way!”

“Tied!!!”

Gangnam’s talented people appear from under the bridge at just the right time and hang a rope around the big man’s neck.

“Geueuuuu!!!!”

A zombie on a leash blows everything around like an angry bull,

He began to skillfully kill time by using hit-and-run tactics focused solely on gaining time.

“Catch it quickly!!!”

Gangbuk’s talented players, who did not miss the timing and made a point, soon reached the first white goal.

“Kill!!!”

200 ordinary people.

Joint operation of over 40 talented people.

The finishing touch was the tax rate.

“Aaaah!!!”

The tax rate thrown by a colleague falls straight on the zombie’s head.

I only have one spear in my hand.

The two arms, swollen as they tear off the clothes, drive straight into the spear.

Sigh!

A spear stuck in with the sound of breaking bones.

Seyul’s arms also went limp after one attack, but he carried out his duties reliably.

“Fuck it hurts so much!!!”

“Gotcha!!!”

Clear the first operation.

It was a moment when everyone’s hopes were overflowing.

“Kkiss!”

Something started to go strangely.

“Uh..huh?huh? Why is this guy like this?”

If the commanding officer dies, the zombies belonging to him become confused.

It was a fact that I was almost sure of through many experiences… .

Whoa whoa.

In an instant, like a cockroach being crushed, one talented person turned into a blood clot and decorated the floor.

“Kkiss!!!”

“Geueuuu!!!”

Argos cries as if in response to the cries of White Bone.

It bounced around and flew over, hitting another ability and exploding it.

“…run away!!!”

Due to the absurd deaths of two talented people who attracted attention,

The talented people in Gangnam who were in charge of Argos chose to run away.

[What the fuck are you doing!!!]

[…I’m sorry.]

The leader of Gangbuk urgently radioed, but the reply he received only incited anger.

“…I didn’t believe those guys who fucking ran away.”

I try to regret it later, but it’s already too late.

“Are we running away too?”

“It’s already too late, if we leave, they’ll all die.”

“As always… . Fight and win.”

The voice that came out was thin and full of tremors, unlike during the speech.

but.

Still, the man’s ending was pretty cool.

*

“…Oppa.”

“Oppa.”

“Huh? Dayoung, why?”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Dayoung hugging the pillow tightly.

As if he had been crying, his eyes were full of tears.

“What’s wrong? Did you cry? Where does it hurt?”

Instead of answering, he shook his head and hesitated before spitting out an answer.

“…I had a nightmare.”

“Ah. Nightmare?”

A 21-year-old girl came to me hugging me and saying she had a nightmare…! Is this a crime?

If you do it wrong, you might get a heart attack.

“Then shall we sleep together?”

“Yes!”

He nodded his head vigorously as if he had been waiting for those words, and then covered me as I lay on the sofa.

“Wow, it’s narrow.”

“Is it better because it is narrower?”

Dayoung clings to me with a little cuteness.

I was a little surprised that the body was colder than I expected.

“What nightmare did you have? I think I was really surprised.”

“Dad came out.”

“Father?”

“Yes…. I’m sorry that my dad couldn’t protect me. Be sure to survive… .”

It was difficult to lie and say that he would be alive and well.

Already… seeing that she’s having nightmares like this, it seems like Dayoung is also coming to terms with her father’s death.

So I just stroked his head.

Slowly and gently until Dayoung falls asleep again.

“It’s okay.”

“It’s okay.”
