Kang Gil and Oh Han-young didn’t say anything else.

As if he knew this would happen, he prepared to fight rather than talk.

So I felt like I could focus on the fight clearly.

It’s not that I have nothing to say, so I felt like I wouldn’t be able to fight properly if they talked to me.

And after fighting a few times, I was convinced that neither of them were a match for me.

The river was strong to some extent. If it had been on campus, he could have held a key position.

But that was all. No matter how hard Kang-gil swung his weapon, I was easily able to avoid or block it.

Oh Han-young was only holding a pistol, so he was no match for him.

Thanks to this, I felt like I was going to die during the entire fight.

There was no need for either of them to fight this desperately.

You already know you can’t win.

The more they resisted, the more they would be beaten, and it was clear that no one would take care of them in this situation.

No matter how they refute it, they are losers who failed in their strategy.

I dodged Kang-gil’s attacks several times, but eventually made a proper counterattack.

Kang-gil, who was hit squarely in the stomach, staggered back.

Oh Han-young immediately pointed the pistol at me and fired, but as if it was natural, it missed.

In that moment, Kang-gil came to his senses and lunged at me again, and I swung my baton.

Kang-gil, who was hit by the baton, screamed and fell backwards.

After that, Kang-gil stood up like a roly-poly, and Oh Han-young continued to fire a pistol at me.

Even when Kang-gil collapsed from exhaustion, he did not let go of his weapon, and Oh Han-young had already spent more than five empty magazines.

I rubbed the bruises that had formed here and there and walked up to Oh Han-yeong holding the baton.

It was to ask if there was a reason to do this.

“Why on earth are you doing that?”

“… The question is, are you wondering why you are struggling so much?”

“Yes. If it had just been sent nicely, no one would have been beaten up like this.”

“You know one, but you don’t know the other.”

Oh Han-young took off his glasses and laughed.

“At a critical time before the war, it was obvious that they would lose, so they let the enemy go without fighting… The excuse is.”

“… ”

“There’s no way it could get through to other people, right? If you let it go without fighting, you will have to take responsibility.”

“Are we going to be exterminated like that organization last time?”

“You can’t kill your entire family, right? It would be a pity for the teacher.”

Oh Han-young aimed his pistol at my head and fired repeatedly.

But because I was shaking, almost nothing hit me properly.

Even the few shots that were aimed properly were blocked by my raised arm.

It was truly a shitty reality.

The saints are like that, and Park Kang-chan is like that too. Same with these people.

Apocalypse was like that, saying that in order to survive, you had no choice but to attack others.

I watched Oh Han-young throw away his used pistol and pick up a weapon, and then slowly waved his baton.

Not long after, I was able to get back on Ochu.

Since we had delayed a little too much time, we needed to run away quickly.

Since gunshots rang out, an emergency alert or something like that may have been issued somewhere else.

Fortunately, while I was pedaling and running away, nothing I was worried about happened.

So I ran away, driving Ochu for hours on end.

I wanted to run straight to Busan, but I knew it.

If you run all the way to Busan like that now, you’ll collapse from exhaustion halfway through.

More than anything, I was bothered by the fact that I didn’t rest even though I was overworking my body like this.

Normally, after overworking your body like this, you need to rest soon.

So right now, at this moment, I needed a place I could trust and rest.

And fortunately, I knew a place where I could rest.

“I really didn’t know it would end up like this.”

I grumbled and headed toward the industrial complex.

If it were the power of the industrial complex, they could rest in peace for a few days.

It would have been nice to be able to rest for just one day. If you eat a lot and rest well, you will have the strength to go all the way to Busan.

So, I was heading straight towards the industrial complex, but for some reason, the scenery was quite different from the last time I saw it.

First of all, it was the same as last time in that there was nothing that could be called a building.

But this time, there were zombie corpses everywhere we went.

I slowly drove the Ochu and looked at the surroundings more closely.

The zombie corpse looked like someone had artificially brought it there.

Looking closely, there were more mutant corpses than regular zombies.

And seeing as most of the bodies were badly mangled, it seemed like it was for warning purposes.

“… Damn it.”

It seemed clear that something had happened.

The number of traps had increased tremendously, as if zombies had attacked them while they were not looking.

These were traps of considerable power, so I had no choice but to be careful the entire time I rode the Ochu.

It was clear that something was strange.

It was clear that something was happening.

But there was no way to know that right now.

It’s not like I’ve been in the industrial complex all this time.

Thanks to this, all I could do was lead Ochu to a place where there were no traps.

Still, the worst thing I feared didn’t seem to have happened.

Not long after, I was able to meet someone from the industrial complex.

When I saw a group of men holding shotguns or shotguns, I really wanted to wave.

But when we actually arrived, the people’s reaction was strange.

I was able to get away with just pointing a gun at the very beginning.

Just in case, I guess I aimed reflexively.

But even after that, I felt like I had crossed the line in treating him like a stranger.

I was very fortunate that it wasn’t hostile.

“No, honestly, it’s very unfair.”

“Haha.”

“Is there anyone who rides a modified motorcycle like this?”

“That’s right.”

“Who would dress like this in this weather, and where would a woman carry a weapon like this?”

“What… That’s right.”

Park Sang-cheol laughed, repeatedly agreeing with what I said.

I still couldn’t get over my anger, so I grumbled a little.

I was fortunate to have Daengchil and Park Sangcheol.

There were also Abdul Ali and Muhammad Ali, but they confused me because I hadn’t seen them in a while.

Still, I was glad that the misunderstanding was somehow resolved.

As long as you join these people, you will be able to get to the industrial complex without fighting.

And actually, as I expected, I was able to get to the ideal location with ease.

It seemed that Sang-sang was still taking care of the important work of the industrial complex, but he seemed very tired as if something had happened.

“Hey, it’s been a while.”

I said that, ignoring the murmurs around me.

Lee Sang took his eyes off the document he was reading and slowly looked at me.

Then he made a dumbfounded expression and suddenly opened his mouth.

“What on earth do I have to do to change my hair and eye color?”

“… What?”

“Hair and eye color. Thanks to you, I thought Uncle Sangcheol was talking nonsense.”

“So, you’re saying my hair and eye color have changed now?”

“… Did you really not know?”

Lee Sang’s expression became even more crumpled.

I don’t know what on earth he was thinking that made his expression crumpled.

Just looking at him, if he was ignoring me, he was ignoring me, and it didn’t seem like he was worried.

So I started explaining to clear up the misunderstanding.

From a long time ago, my hair looked silver and my eyes looked red.

But I thought this was only happening to me, and the last time I used too much force, my hair changed color.

After that, no one said anything, so I thought I looked normal to others.

I was so surprised to hear that the color changed again today.

Only after explaining up to this point did Lee Sang lose his pitiful expression and look at me with interest.

Not long after, the above questions poured in.

Do you know the reason for that phenomenon? Has there been any change in your physical abilities after that change?

Well, things like that. After answering those questions roughly, I remembered the most important thing.

“I just escaped from the Jinju Citizens’ Union, but things got a bit complicated.”

“Wait, you should have said that first.”

“I was going to tell you, but you asked the wrong question.”

“… Yes, it’s my fault, so please explain it quickly.”

So, I explained to Lee Sang what had happened.

He also said that he planned to betray the Jinju Citizens’ Union by persuading the forces and saints who were dissatisfied with it.

The plan was to pretend that they were waging a war of attrition under the guise of a meat shield, and then surrender.

Lee Sang chuckled after hearing that and concluded that it was an interesting operation in many ways.

And Lee Sang continued to ask questions, asking for explanations.

It was as if I was possessed by a ghost who died because I couldn’t ask questions.

Still, since I was indebted to him in many ways, I tried my best to answer.

But it started to become increasingly difficult to control my body.

I felt drowsy, as if I needed to rest now.

I tried to hold on a little longer, but it was no use.

I fell backwards, and my last memory was of a panicked Sang-sang trying to hug me.
