Well, it wasn’t a hopeless situation at all.

The road is blocked so there is no other way to pass here.

The worst case scenario would be to leave the station.

But I guess it’s because we’ve come this far already.

Personally, I wanted to choose the option of passing through rather than exiting.

First of all, these barricades weren’t built very carefully.

It feels like there’s nothing I can’t do no matter how I try.

However, I was concerned about rushing into it so recklessly.

No one knows what’s out there.

There must be a reason why they went onto the tracks and erected barricades like this.

So, I turned my head to ask other people’s opinions.

“So what do you think is the best thing to do?”

The first to respond was Park Si-hyuk.

It’s probably difficult to get through the barricade covered in brown lumps.

They don’t know how to destroy it, and who knows what’s inside.

Honestly, I have no choice but to agree with that.

“So Sihyuk, you’re asking to move up?”

“Yes. There is nothing you will regret if you take a look around and decide first.”

“Okay, does anyone have a different opinion?”

“Oh, me…”

Kang Ye-rim slightly raised his hand.

Finally, she continued, pointing to the screen door.

“I don’t know how long the barricades would have lasted, but they probably wouldn’t have filled the entire subway station.”

“Aha, that’s true too?”

“Yes. I think all you have to do is open the screen door and go out to check that there are no barricades.”

“That’s good. Do you have any other opinions?”

Instead of answering, Park Soo-ah took the flashlight from me.

It seems like they were being considerate because it probably would be a hindrance to my efforts.

Then there is nothing to worry about now.

“Everyone be careful! If you have to, think about hiding behind me!”

Saying that, he walked to the screen door with great strides.

The screen door didn’t seem to open as easily as I thought.

It’s only natural since it’s been abandoned for a long time.

However, it didn’t seem like it would be impossible to break through at all.

Just because it’s a screen door, they probably didn’t make it with the expectation of hitting it with a metal bat.

So, I grabbed the baton with all my might and struck the screen door in front of me once.

The screen door was greatly crushed along with a creepy sound.

I thought about hitting him a few more times just in case, but I just held back.

Since there is a place to hold it anyway, you can just tear it off like this.

I roughly put my hand into the dented area and used force to tear off the entire screen door.

Is it because my physical condition has improved?

If I was in bad shape, I would have finished it in just a few seconds.

It took a little longer to remove the screen door than I thought.

Still, within a few seconds, I was able to tear off the screen door and create a passage inside.

“I’ll go in first.”

It must have been right in front of the passage. There will be weapons nearby too.

Without hesitation, I picked up my baton and entered the passage with my back to the light.

Although it was dark inside the station, it was much cleaner than Cheolsan Station.

Maybe it was luck that the subway didn’t stop at this station.

There’s no denying that it’s aged, but is it still safe to walk around?

So I signaled with my hand to the people behind me and waited for a while.

“Oh, it’s pretty clean inside?”

“Right? You can feel a little safer here.”

“Sister, like Yerim said earlier, let’s check the screen door first.”

“Yes, yes. If you’re lucky, you might be able to move again.”

“Even if I failed, I had to leave anyway.”

Park Soo-ah was right.

Because whatever it was, it needed to be brought up in history.

Still, wouldn’t it be nice if there was no need to go outside of history?

So, I walked around the station, thinking that please let me go comfortably.

…Something was a little strange.

I wonder if the thickness of the barricade visible beyond the screen door is unusual.

A typical barricade lasted only a few meters at most.

No, that’s because building barricades is also quite difficult.

But the barricades were built tens of meters long like this?

Thanks to this, it was difficult to infer the situation at the moment.

Still, just in case, I looked around a little more.

“Sister, look at this.”

“uh.”

“The screen door… looks like it was welded…”

“This is also strange…”

My head was spinning.

That doesn’t mean there’s no reason to do this.

Yeah, whatever. Because it was written that zombies and other variants can easily travel under the subway.

Maybe they did it to prevent that.

Maybe a giant worm had begun to act.

There is a variety of earthworms that move along subway tracks.

Or maybe there is a variant like us that plans to move along the tracks.

However, it was strange to even say that there was a variant.

If there was a mutant, he wouldn’t have met us.

Not only did we walk along the tracks, we also walked around with lights shining on us.

It doesn’t even make sense that those sensitive variants couldn’t find us.

Thanks to this, the situation has become quite complicated.

There must be a reason why the road is blocked like this.

But I can’t really guess why.

Well, since it’s like this, it would be better to go up and figure out the situation.

Of course, it seemed like I needed to change the route before doing that.

I wonder if there are barricades only at this station.

If it’s at the next station or the station after that, our plan goes awry.

So, I wanted to at least make another plan before leaving.

So, I started by calling Yerim.

“Yerim!”

“Yes…?”

“You said this is Sindorim Station. Right?”

“Yes. Originally, I had to go to Singil Station and transfer…”

“What should I do if Singil Station is also blocked?”

“Umm…”

Kang Ye-rim kept her mouth shut for a while and thought about it.

The silence became quite long as there was no solution.

In the end, just as I was about to say that I had no choice but to attack her with my body first, Kang Ye-rim opened her mouth again.

“First, I will go out of Exit 3 of Singil Station, Line 5.”

“Exit 3?”

“Yes. From there, continue along the road and cross Mapo Bridge.”

“Mapo Bridge…”

It was a name that was difficult to understand even if it made an impression.

In this situation, Daekyo is almost like hell.

It will be so crowded with cars that there won’t even be a gap for people to escape.

Even if there are no zombies on that bridge, it is a problem.

It’s better to move while fighting zombies.

If you encounter zombies back and forth while moving, it becomes pure hell.

So, I was going to say that we should avoid Mapo Bridge.

…No matter what, it was clear that I had to cross the bridge.

“…Okay, then it would be better to go to Mapo Bridge.”

“Mapo Bridge?”

“Yes. At least that’s the closest.”

The situation at other bridges is probably similar anyway.

Cars trying to leave Seoul will block the road and act as barricades.

The zombies trapped inside the barricade will greet us.

In that case, it would be better to choose the closest bridge.

And I remember Mapo Bridge being a bit wider.

Maybe then you might be lucky enough to pass by.

Well, no matter where you choose, you don’t have to rely on luck.

After thinking about it, the situation became clear.

one. Leave this station and walk to Singil Station.

two. Find Exit 3 of Singil Station and walk along the road.

three. Prepare to attack Mapo Bridge and break through.

If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to do all three without difficulty.

“Okay, I thought of a good plan.”

Without hesitation, I explained the plan I had come up with to the other group members.

It’s hard to properly plan, but whatever.

There is nothing better than this in this situation anyway.

Maybe that’s why everyone seemed to agree.

They made a plan to break through on the spot, with Park Si-hyuk at the head.

What I’m going to do is store up my power for a while and then explode it.

So, I stayed quiet and let others use my brain.

How long had he been so still?

I noticed that everyone was about to go outside, so I took the flashlight from Park Soo-ah again and held it up.

And I took the lead and walked through the station.

The inside of the station was cleaner than I expected.

It wasn’t bright or very clean, but whatever.

This was enough to walk.

So, I chose a suitable exit and started walking towards it in a light manner.

“…what is it.”

Beyond that, I saw two figures coming down the stairs.

Probably an adult male? Both seemed to be at least in their 20s.

…Because both of them looked quite skilled in holding rifles.

The two slowly raised their rifles and aimed them at me.

Although he didn’t pull the trigger right away, it was certain that he would pull it at any moment.

Choice?

There’s no way something like that exists.

I am fine from being hit by a rifle, but the other three are not.

So I had no choice but to raise my hand first.

I haven’t decided on any specific hand signals, but whatever.

I didn’t forget to drop the flashlight on the floor.

A ray of light illuminated the two figures.

This should already be enough of a signal.

So as soon as they were relieved, they both pulled the trigger at the same time.
