“It’s going smoothly.”

“Yes…. That’s right, but isn’t it too smooth even if things are going smoothly?”

Winter couldn’t hide her worry as she looked around the extremely quiet surroundings.

I looked everywhere, clutching the steering wheel tightly, but I couldn’t even find any traces of zombies.

The appearance was exactly the same as when the white bones appeared.

The sight of not a single rat in sight gives off a somewhat eerie feeling.

Although it had already been a long time since I had headed to Seoul, there was something a little strange about it that made me feel at ease.

“Baekhwa, try smelling it again.”

“Yes♡ Haha… no.”

As I had checked several times before, the answer I got back this time was the same.

“There is only one variant.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

A solitary individual.

I’m not sure if I should call this good news as I’m looking for a bunch of mutants.

Because it was a new entity, uncertainty had already increased.

If the mutants had formed a group in that situation, I think they would have run away.

It would be fair to view this as good news.

“About one. It’s easy.”

“Yes!!! I believe it!”

There are a total of three types of variants discovered so far.

1. Baekgol: Commanding type.

2. Morel: Physical type.

3. Giraffe: A sneak-like type with a long neck.

“Don’t you have the ability to figure something out? I saw it in a movie or something.”

“If you’re a physical type, command type, and sneak attack type… wouldn’t it be possible to have something like a long-distance ability?”

“It’s a long distance…. That could be possible.”

Are you saying it spits out bones like a hydralisk?

“It wouldn’t be bad if it was from a long distance. You can stop it.”

“If it’s nothing huge, it’s probably okay.

“I feel reassured.”

“Thank you.”

The response to the simple compliment was also simple.

With that, we continued towards the variant in silence.

“We’re almost there now.”

At Baekhwa’s words, full-scale preparations for battle began.

The window is ready.

There are enough arrows.

“If you see a variant, stop the car immediately.”

“Yes. I understand.”

When I was looking everywhere.

“Keee!!!!!!”

A familiar ear-splitting sound was heard.

An unpleasant sound that gives you goosebumps just by hearing it.

This sound that pierces the whole body like scratching on a blackboard is definitely…

“Is this the sound of a white bone?

“Yes…?”

Baekhwa asked as if that couldn’t be possible and started sniffing urgently.

“No…? I don’t have one…?”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. It doesn’t smell like a bunch of zombies.”

As soon as Baekhwa uttered those words, zombies poured out from all directions as if to rebut.

I don’t even run.

Just slowly form a line and walk.

Their appearance was as strong as Roman legionnaires.

Heads appeared one by one from the bushes beyond the guardrail and began to gradually fill the road.

“Fuck….”

The hastily spit out swear words represented all of his feelings.

No… even if you’re intelligent, this honestly crosses the line… right?

“What the fuck, what kind of zombie walks around wearing a mud pack!”

Mudmen with a lot of mud spread all over their bodies.

I guess it was the mud that made Baekhwa unable to smell.

“Are you turning the car?!”

“It’s already too late!”

The sides and back are already occupied by zombies.

The only option left to me was to move forward.

“Ah…only the front is open…?”

“Still, go.”

Baekhwa expressed his concern in a trembling voice.

The intention of White Bone, which had the intelligence to erase the smell by applying a mud pack, only left the road ahead seemed very obvious.

come to me

Are you trying to convey something like that?

“Even if you’re cocky, you’re too cocky. Fuck… you fucking zombie.”

“For now, let’s move forward…”

“Anyway, if you kill just the white bones, it’s over…. Only the white bones….”

are you okay.

It will be fine.

For some reason, I keep touching my hands out of anxiety.

“Baek Hwa wears his seat belt.”

“Yes….!”

“Gyeoreum, if you see a white bone, you will attack it, do you understand?”

“Yes!!! I’ll just slam it in!”

It was the same way when I first hunted White Bone.

I drove the car through regular zombies and hit the skull of a white-skeleton person.

Last time, there was no one to stop regular zombies, so they got bitten here and there, but this time it will be different as there is Winter.

No, it had to be different.

Although it has faded a little, the teeth marks still clearly show their presence.

If I was completely immune, it should have healed like any other wound.

“Only blocks normal zombies well.”

“You can trust us…!”

Kieeek-

The screams of zombies echoing from all directions.

We, alone in the middle of it all, making a loud engine noise, were eventually able to confirm the existence of White Bone.

“… Was that the cause of the smell?”

The white skeleton looked at least twice as old as the one I hunted last time.

Moreover, the rotting human corpse was hung as if it had a flower on its head.

“Wow…!”

Baekhwa, facing the reality of the smell he had been smelling up to this point, starts to gag.

“I found a group of variants. There are four places just to the north, south, east and west, and we found them in just two days.”

As we clapped our hands in light exclamation, as if forgetting the damn reality, a word of winter also came in.

“I think you should take back what you said earlier?”

“So? It’s so much better when there are more people.”

I said it would be better if there were more zombies, but there are so many of them…

“Can you catch it?”

“What? That one?”

“Yes.”

I thought it was too much to ask, so I stopped the car and asked what to ask.

“Will it work?”

“…right.”

In fact, it seemed like anything would work to pierce the head of a white bone.

I pierced it last time too,

Also, I was a little stronger than last time.

But in front of it is a morel.

A giraffe with a long neck.

Honestly, 3 to 1 is unreasonable.

“Keee!!!!!!”

“Kkii profit!!!!!!!”

The cries of white bones sound like laughter mocking me.

No, maybe you’re really kidding me.

Regular zombies only surrounded us and did not make any threats.

It felt like they were playing with me.

Like cats playing with all the mice they catch.

“First of all, don’t get off.”

“Yes.”

It was better than trying to kill me with all my might.

If you let your guard down, there might be an opportunity.

I got out of the car alone, having made up my mind.

Rattling.

As soon as the car door closes with a bang, all the zombies scream and become excited about the fresh prey in front of them.

“Keee!!!!!!”

And static.

“…Your leadership is amazing.”

The white bone squeaks softly as if in response to the low exclamation.

“Squeak”

“What… did you answer?”

“Squeak”

The round head rolls from side to side with a short cry.

Is that… happy?

Did you make sense?

The sight of a large ball with a diameter of 2 meters rolling around looks somewhat cute.

“… What is your intention? No, if you ask me this, I can’t answer.”

“Keee!!!!!!”

The white bone shouted loudly, as if my words were being ignored.

At the same time, a morel, who was in charge of guarding, jumped out in front of the ball.

Ugh-

The hand holding the spear tightens as I hear a low cry.

No, it’s not a child… It’s his temper just because he said something.

baby…?

Assuming that they have no memories of their previous lives, White Bones are no different from newborns who have not yet completed their first year of life.

I can’t help but think that the reaction is childish.

If I think of it as a child, how should I react?

How can I fool you?

“Hey, would you like to make a bet with me? How about a simple 1v1 fight?”

Do you not know what betting means?

There is no response back.

“If I fight your subordinate and win, please spare me. On the other hand, if you win… well, then it’s up to you whether you kill or live.”

Still no answer? then….

“Are you really scared?”

“Keee!!!!!!”

Oh shit… . Are you sure it’s effective?

“Don’t worry, just keep stepping!”

“Yes!!!”

Sangsu drove the truck roughly in accordance with Yeoreum’s urgent orders.

Another truck and a camper followed the truck.

A total of three vehicles raced without hesitation to save Hanseong,

Soon, I was able to find a group of zombies in the distance.

Zombies with their backs turned to themselves and only looking ahead.

The moment they saw that, everyone realized.

“I guess my brother is in front of me.”

“Yes….”

Although their paths did not cross, Dayoung’s strong impression could not be resolved.

The number of zombies appears to be at least 200.

If Hanseong exists beyond it, as they worry… .

“Can I break through….?”

Dayoung’s mind was filled with dark despair.

Breaking through this large group and saving Hanseong…?

It was clearly impossible.

impossible.

When only that one word remains in your mind and is constantly repeated.

Sohyeon, who was silent and drooping, quietly muttered.

“Give me a map.”

“Huh? huh. Here is the map…”

Nayoung urgently brought the map to Sohyeon.

“Go here.”

The place the finger pointed to was on the other side of the road blocked by zombies,

It was already clear that we had to go through the zombies.

I didn’t understand why I had to go to the other side of the road.

“Wait…wait a minute.”

Dayoung urgently applied the brakes and stopped the camping car.

“What’s wrong?!”

Without answering Yeoreum’s question as it rang from the truck.

I thought about it carefully.

‘Our goal is clearly not to fight zombies, but to rescue them.’

Rescue, not battle.

The task was to pick up Hanseong, who was running away.

In this situation, Sohyun even feels that she needs to go to the other side of the road.

What he meant was that that place was Hanseong’s escape route.

then.

There’s no reason to go through such a strict place, right?

“Everyone, fasten your belts!!!”

With those words, the camper rushed toward the guardrail.
