How long did it run like that?

Although the zombies soon disappeared, the four people continued to remain alert.

And without hesitation, I quickly found my way and ran.

A sweet smell came out of my mouth and my legs hurt, but no one stopped.

It was a natural thing.

Because no one knew until the monster, which was over 10 meters tall, came closer.

You never know when and where such a monster may appear.

Under that unknown yet valid anxiety, the four people ran in silence.

No more zombies appeared.

Park Si-hyuk thought that was truly fortunate.

The situation was not one in which all four could fight right now.

First of all, he was exhausted from sprinting for several tens of minutes.

It would be the same as the other three, only they didn’t say anything.

No, Yeji Lee was already covered in blood to begin with.

Park Si-hyuk took a moment to catch his breath and think about it.

No matter what happened, the fact that I needed to take a little rest remained the same.

What he was worried about was where to rest.

Inside the building? outdoor?

Whatever it was, there was no sharp number.

Because it wasn’t strange no matter where these damn zombies came from.

To be safe, I had to travel a little further away.

Or just clean up the zombies here.

Of course, it was difficult for them to choose between the two options.

But the worries did not last long.

Decisions must be made quickly and implementation must be even faster.

After looking at Kang Ye-rim and Park Soo-ah, Park Si-hyuk gazed at Lee Ye-ji one last time.

Sensing those gazes, Lee Ye-ji made a dumbfounded expression.

He looked at her for a moment and then sighed.

It’s just that she was lacking somewhere, but it didn’t mean she didn’t have abilities.

“ is going to rest nearby. What do you think?”

“around here? You can just rest.”

“I was being chased by zombies just a little while ago.”

“Ah, it’s okay.”

Yeji Lee grinned.

A little, no. Although she was quite tired, the more she worked, the more she burned.

Rather, it could be said that this was the perfect time for her.

Any zombie.

Well, there’s nothing we can do if a noble shows up.

Anyway, if not for that, Yeji Lee was confident of winning.

Of course, there will be problems after that, but whatever.

She didn’t really care.

They’ll only care if you’re stretching because you’re not in good shape.

Even if you don’t care, just sleep and wake up together.

If they had brains, they wouldn’t do anything to mess with them.

After completing the calculation, Lee Ye-ji smiled confidently, but it did not look good to Park Si-hyuk.

No, even if I tried to look at it clearly, I couldn’t look at it clearly.

The right half of his body was covered in blood and he was panting.

Strangely, there were no injuries, but it was clear that a lot of physical strength had been lost.

In fact, the person who has to rest first has such a confident smile on his face?

Park Si-hyuk was once again seriously concerned about whether Ye-ji Lee had gone crazy.

The worries didn’t last long.

Because it was useless and it wasn’t something that could be solved by worrying about it.

In the end, he motioned to the rest of the group to rest here and let them know.

Of course, Park Si-hyuk did not let down his guard.

It was natural because you never know when and where something will appear.

During the day, regular zombies form groups and hunt survivors.

At night, nocturnal mutants hunt survivors.

When your attention is diverted from barely managing to deal with those damn zombies, your old colleague appears as a mutant.

Also, in this situation, an inexperienced survivor was like a burden.

Since I was young, it was better to be weak.

Because being weak doesn’t necessarily mean being a burden.

It was okay if you wanted to work hard.

However, foolishness was not something that could be solved by working hard.

Some may call it prejudice, but Park Si-hyuk did not deny this.

Because there were things I saw while surviving.

The experience accumulated many times gave me such confidence.

But that confidence began to crack today.

Park Si-hyuk thought as he stared at Lee Ye-ji, who was staggering back and forth, with trembling eyes.

Until now, he had always turned a blind eye to untidy people, even if they were talented.

In this world, one mistake brought too many consequences.

He saw hundreds of people die because of that one mistake.

So, for the sake of the well-being of this organization, it was right to kick Lee Ye-ji out.

…It was supposed to be that way.

He sighed and continued to roll his head.

I thought it would be necessary to think at length about Yeji Lee’s actions that I saw a little while ago.

Other people didn’t seem to notice because the situation was urgent, but he clearly saw it.

She slit her own throat with a sharp sword.

I’m not crazy or scared.

Yeji Lee clearly made a rational decision and harmed herself like that.

And the wound healed in seconds.

Every time the wound healed, she continued to slit her throat.

Then, he suddenly displayed overwhelming strength against Freak and pulled out a telephone pole and threw it.

No matter how much he thought about it, he didn’t think this was normal.

Clearly, Yeji Lee is a person who has honed her abilities beyond herself.

The fact that he survived this far despite being so immature…

Probably one thing.

The more blood Yeji Lee sheds, the stronger her physical abilities become.

Park Si-hyuk shed tears as he reasoned that way.

The conditions might be a little different, but that didn’t really matter.

There may have been more downsides, but they weren’t that important.

The important thing is, yes.

What mattered was whether or not it could cover up her immaturity.

The most important thing was whether or not taking her with him would be advantageous for survival.

Park Si-hyuk was the leader of a group of survivors, although there were only three of them.

If you make a wrong decision, you will not die alone.

Kang Ye-rim and Park Soo-ah, juniors who have followed him since his club days, also die.

Knowing that, he had to keep thinking about it.

Seoul was a dangerous place.

One mistake, no. It was also a place where you could die even if you didn’t make a mistake.

Is it okay to take such an inexperienced person to a place like that?

Can we trust someone who boasts unfounded confidence to be strong?

Park Si-hyuk couldn’t answer that question and closed his eyes.

Then I opened my eyes wide and took a breath.

A lot of time passed while I was thinking about it.

I was lucky that I didn’t encounter any zombies during my break, but I wasn’t sure I would in the future.

Now that you’ve had enough rest, it’s time to move.

“Let’s move slowly.”

Park Si-hyuk said that and looked at the others.

Kang Ye-rim and Park Soo-ah seemed to have no problems.

But Yeji Lee was different.

He frowned and stared at her as she tried to pretend she was okay.

“Well, why. Is there any problem?”

Yeji Lee smiled as she said that, but she couldn’t hide that she was tired.

No, it was inevitable that I would get tired in the first place.

If blood was poured like that and it was normal, it would be even weirder.

She thought for a moment.

What should I say to him to end the situation relatively well?

Yeji Lee continued to think, but there was no solution.

Of course, she could have continued in this state.

Being difficult and being strong are two different things.

But will he listen if you say that?

Yeji Lee thought no.

It seemed like he seemed unreliable to him.

Tsk.

Lee Ye-ji clicked her tongue and thought again.

The best option was to reveal the truth.

The identity of what he has been fighting for so far.

And also how far you can go.

If you say that, you won’t be looked down on in this group.

But saying that was a bit weird.

Yeji Lee stared at Sihyuk Park with her eyes narrowed.

Just as he thought she was unreliable, she couldn’t completely trust him.

The worries continued.

Meanwhile, a heavy silence fell around the four people.

Ye-ji Lee appropriately ignored the silence, but Si-hyuk Park could not.

Whatever it was, it was clear that the four of us would have to be together from now on.

As the oldest member of the group, he had an obligation to make decisions in a timely manner.

“…Good. I feel like I want to go a little further, but everyone seems tired.”

“Ahaha, honestly, the battle was intense.”

“Also, wouldn’t it be a good idea to take supplies from a familiar place before leaving the area?”

“Yes, yes, that’s right. I will work hard if you ask me to, so I will ask for guidance.”

Saying that, Yeji Lee nodded moderately.

Although there were enough supplies in the backpack, she hit back first.

It might be okay if we become closer to each other as time passes.

From now on, I didn’t want to get stabbed in the back for giving for nothing.

Fortunately, Park Si-hyuk did not ask questions about the backpack.

After skillfully soothing the other two, he began to talk.

Nocturnal variant. A decent building with two exits.

Clean on time and quietly.

Many other stories passed by, but Ye-ji Lee just ignored them.

After all, zombies were no problem to her.

As long as there was enough time to rest, that was enough.

Obviously… it was like that.
