episode_0137

The battalion commander’s office is full of tension.

The two men sitting at the table in the middle were staring at each other in silence.

While fighting like that for a while,

Hyuksu, the commander of the army, spoke first.

“So why did you come to me?”

“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Seongmo Jang, head of the Seoul Survivors Association.”

“For a leader of the union, his behavior is disastrous. Even in Seoul…”

Hyuksu throws up his hands as if he had just heard a trivial lie.

That’s because the Virgin Mary, who introduced herself as the leader of the union, is truly a beggar.

Moreover, there were only 17 survivors who came with us.

‘It doesn’t make sense to call it a union in many ways. ‘A robber would be better suited.’

Hyuksu’s gaze was full of doubt.

However, the Virgin Mary smiled leisurely and continued speaking, as if she had not thought about herself.

“Well, I guess it’s ridiculous to ask people to believe me after doing something like this.

It’s natural for you to think that way.

But first of all, I would like to tell you to rest assured about your concerns.”

“…What?”

“You must have thought now that strength suits you better.

I understand that my behavior is just that, but… it’s not a very pleasant way to be treated.”

The Virgin Mary spoke as if she had read her thoughts.

A natural question came to mind at those words.

‘No way, I can read your thoughts….’

“Yes.”

This time too, the Virgin Mary’s answer was sharp.

‘This… I guess it’s true.’

“Yes. It’s true… but you don’t seem to be in a very good mood.

I understand. Most of the reactions were similar.”

Hyuksu’s eyebrows furrowed harshly as he kept reading his thoughts.

“… It’s amazing to actually experience something that only happens in movies, but it’s not a great feeling.”

“It’s more pleasant than a zombie movie.”

“So what is the reason for suddenly revealing that ability?”

The Virgin Mary continued speaking with her palms open, as if to express that she had no hostile intentions.

“I thought it would be best to prove it first in order for people to believe what I said.”

“It is clear that he is a talented person, but that does not mean that he is the leader of the Seoul survivors.”

“…Unfortunately, 18 talented people, including me, are the last survivors in Seoul.”

“What…?”

It was true that Seoul suffered the most damage from zombies, but

Even so, I couldn’t understand why Seoul was so ruined.

Anyway, it is the capital of a country.

Moreover, since the army had initially mobilized to stabilize Seoul, the number must have decreased…?

Seongmo, who read Hyeoksu’s question, continued to explain the cause.

The first battle and defeat against the giant white bone.

The second battle in which the talented people of Gangnam and the survivors of Gangbuk united.

The result was also defeat.

“The giant white bone grew day by day. The size of the group… and the intelligence…”

The Virgin Mary’s voice as she relayed the battle with the White Bones was full of fear.

Holding on to my hands that were shaking like aspen trees.

The Virgin Mary concluded with her last words.

“…Unless we can catch that white skeleton, there is no future for humanity.”

It ended on a solemn note, but…

He was still a loser.

“So, are you saying that so many people were sacrificed and only 18 escaped?”

“Yes.”

“Ridiculous… Ridiculous.”

The scale was too large to believe every single word that was said.

I didn’t even understand how he could confidently say that he abandoned people and ran away.

‘What is the intention…? The intention…’

“There is no particular intention. People must be honest.”

“Is that so?”

“Actually, aren’t you a person with a bit of a conscience?”

Eyes slightly open as if they knew something.

No, those eyes were full of confidence that they definitely knew something.

“…well? I don’t really know what you’re talking about.”

“Captain, I am capable.”

That one word explained a lot.

From the soldiers at the guardhouse, to the talented person who guided them to the barracks, to the two guards currently guarding this room, there were many subjects for whom the Virgin Mary could read thoughts.

Maybe just one or two simple questions would have revealed everything.

“So?”

Hyuksu shamelessly asks.

After saying those words and clapping his hands, the guard outside the door immediately entered the room with a spear in hand.

He gazes at the Virgin Mary with his palms open, as if telling her to wait.

“Well… Could you please clean up the car and window a little?”

“A little further back.”

As the spear aimed at her neck fell, the Virgin Mary continued speaking in a trembling voice.

“I expected it, but I’m even more embarrassed… Yes…”

“Main topic.”

In response to Hyuksu urging her to get to the point, Seongmo blurted out the words in a hurry.

” means that they are the same type of person! I don’t think you’ll be in a very good mood, but…”

“So, are you saying we should at least form an alliance?”

“Yes…!”

Hyuksu chuckled at the word alliance.

“Not long ago, there was a one-day puppy who came to me asking for alliance…

That’s what I thought at the time, too… but isn’t an alliance something formed by groups of similar size?”

Place your thumb and index finger about 3cm apart towards the Virgin Mary and forget to say anything.

“I can’t do it with a group this size. Falling suddenly.”

A threat looming right in front of you and 18 talented people.

She expected that that would be enough to form an alliance, but the reality was different from what the Virgin Mary thought.

Now that I have read Hyuksu’s thoughts, which do not have any intention of alliance,

I have no choice but to choose the next best option.

“Well…then you can take me under your command. I-I’m the only one who uses it seriously, right?”

“Control….”

Seongmo urgently held out her smartphone to Hyuksu, who entered the warehouse.

“Woman, here is the evidence!!! Let’s look at that first.”

Contrary to the urgent words, the screen was only black.

In the end, Hyuksu was able to check the video only after turning on the generator and connecting the charging cable.

“Is it a drone?”

“Yes…”

In the video taken from above, there is one White Bone and one body-enhanced dark attack type.

A total of three were captured.

“It’s smaller than I thought.”

“This skeleton was taken care of, the real crisis was the guy behind it.”

Due to the nature of her white bones, which were proportional to the size of her head and the size of her group, the Virgin Mary’s words did not seem to be false.

“Well, there are too many regular zombies for that guy to lead.”

“Yes… it was a mistake.”

“So? Is there even a reason to bring him under your command?”

Although he confirmed the group of white bones, Hyuksu’s mind was still critical.

‘It’s the ability to read people’s minds… It’s attractive, but it’s hard to control…’

“Wouldn’t you, Captain, also have to lead larger and larger groups? The… king! You should become a king!!!”

“The king…”

It was quite an appetizing statement.

king.

The title of the Absolute, which has disappeared in modern times, was enough to ignite Hyuksu’s heart.

The Virgin Mary read his thoughts and continued speaking urgently.

“As the group grows, it will become more and more difficult for the subjects to control it.

But if I have…!

If you only care about me, wouldn’t you be able to trust all of your other subordinates?”

For now, the subordinates are satisfied with women and a comfortable life, but human greed knows no bounds.

“You only need to hold the leash of one dog… That sounds reasonable.”

“Yes…! That’s right.”

Even though she counted herself as ‘Marie’, the Virgin Mary did not express her displeasure.

No, I couldn’t.

Even now, Hyuksu’s scale was moving busily.

Should I kill him?

Should I save it?

Tick.

Tick.

Feeling the scales of death constantly shaking,

All the Virgin Mary could do right now was pray.

‘please please! Believe it. Have some faith!!!’

And the moment the scale stopped.

“…Thank you!!”

The Virgin Mary was able to let out a cry of relief.

“Then I will now appoint you as my staff member.”

“Thank you!!!”

Take a moment to feel at ease,

I had to shake my head at the words that followed.

“Then you have to work, right? staff.

Give me a way to kill that group of mutants and allow me to become king.”

“…Yes!”

*

While I was tied to the bed, many people visited me in the hospital.

From men like Winter and Sangsu,

Women, including lovers, came and went frequently, and Baekhwa was among them.

“Master…. I’m sorry….”

As soon as Baekhwa came in, she shed tears and repeatedly apologized.

Moang was feeling guilty that he had not been able to properly fulfill his role of searching for zombies.

“Hey, who knew they walk around covered in mud? Don’t worry too much. It’s not something you couldn’t do. That white bone… is kind of amazing.”

“Still….”

“Look at me.”

When I told him to make eye contact, he knelt down and leveled my gaze.

When you turn your head slightly, you see Baekhwa.

The way he knelt neatly and looked into my eyes was full of pity.

Did you say that if you’re pretty, everything is forgiven?

It already happened, and it wasn’t your fault Baekhwa.

I tried to say something like that, but only exclamation came out of my blankly opened mouth.

“It’s not wrong.”

“Right…? I should have done a little better…”

“No, if you’re pretty, everything is forgiven.”

“Ah… that… thank you.”

He was confused as to how to answer, rolling his eyes back and forth, but eventually lowered his head and answered.

I was in danger of dying because I couldn’t recognize the smell. But it’s the past, what’s important is the future.

I didn’t notice this time, but what about next time?

I asked Baekhwa, hoping for an answer that I could find it.

“Rather than that… how about it? Can you find it next time?”

“….Yes!”

It was a positive answer, but you could read the hesitation emanating from the extended answer.

“Now? Can you find it?”

“That’s not true… But if you practice a little more…!”

As expected… is it difficult right now?

Considering the evil screams of the white bones that were wailing at me, it wasn’t surprising that they attacked at any time.

With Sohyeon, we wouldn’t be attacked without any warning, but Sohyun’s ability to only give warnings was disappointing in many ways, making it difficult to plan various strategies.

It would be nice if Baekhwa could find it, but…

It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

For now, I have no choice but to trust and wait.

“I will believe it. Practice hard and let me know later when you can figure it out.”

“Yes!!! I’ll work hard!”

“Yes. I will believe you.”

Although it is still questionable whether it is possible to smell better with effort, Baekhwa’s expression is full of will.

Just as your sexual sensitivity develops day by day, will you also become more sensitive when you smell it?

“But… what is your wish, master?”

“Oh, that?”

The last wish I asked for before falling asleep.

Baekhwa looks at me with sparkling eyes, as if expecting some sweet words, but her wish is probably different from what I expected.

“Let’s leave that for fun after everything heals.”

“Yes!!!”

Even after sending off Baekhwa, I was tied to bed for a full day,

It wasn’t until the evening of the next day that I was able to throw off all the restraints and shackles and become free.

“…Amazing.”

“I did that, right? Are you all better?”

Byeong-gan, who claimed that he still needed rest, saw me standing up and stretching without any problems, and couldn’t forget what he was saying with his mouth wide open.

My regenerative power is already at a human level.

“You didn’t move for no reason?”

“Still, I’m worried when I see it bleeding…”

Dayoung’s cheeks were still cutely swollen, as if her worries hadn’t gone away yet.

Pick the ball with your left hand.

“Look, are you okay?”

“…Yes.”

“I should congratulate you when everything is better, why are you so upset?”

“It seems like I’m the only one feeling sick…!”

When I gently pull it into my arms, it snuggles into me and whispers softly.

“Still, I’m really glad you’re all better.”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to Dayoung.”

“They always say there’s no need to worry… but they come back covered in blood… I hate them.”

“Really?”

“…Fake.”

What should I do with this cute creature…?

Because of the unbearable cuteness, my hands naturally hugged me tightly.

As I hug him roughly, as if I were hugging a teddy bear, his sweet exhaled breath tickles my ear.

“Hmm…♡”

“Thank you.”

“Yes♡♡”

After finishing the light skinship, let’s look around,

Even though it was my discharge time, I couldn’t see any other lovers except Dayoung.

“What about the other kids?”

“Are you ready?”

“Ready? What preparation?”

Instead of answering, Dayoung led me outside.

When I opened the door and came out,

I saw numerous people holding crossbows and Yeoreum in front of them.

As soon as Yeoreum spots me, she quickly runs over to me and checks my condition by touching various parts of my body.

“Are you okay? Is everything better? What are the wounds?”

“It’s all better, it’s okay.”

“…Thank goodness.”

I usually don’t do skinship in front of others because I’m embarrassed…

At times like this, I hug you tightly again.

“Really… just worry about me.”

“Were you preparing for White Bone?”

“Yes….”

After a brief chat, I was able to hear the general situation from Yeoreum.

Sohyeon and Yuna prepare emergency food.

Aram is in the process of making crossbows and arrows with Uncle Seokha.

Nayoung also said that she was busy making armor.

“It’s war.”

“Yes.”

Feeling the full-scale war spirit that I couldn’t feel in bed, I couldn’t forget what I said and just hugged Yeoreum tightly.
