(side story) Zombie.

As zombie corpses piled up, the entrance to the building began to become increasingly crowded with zombies.

8th floor.

They started shooting from a position they had built by breaching the wall outside the department store.

Zombies began to pile up, but they were unable to climb up easily due to the floor plates that had been made.

“Pour oil!!!”

“There is no fucking end!!!”

The man who was sharpening the machine gun said as he changed the belt-type ammunition belt.

“Shut up and pour it on, you idiot!!!”

When the soldiers who had been pouring oil for a while ignited the fire, the zombies fell out of the building, and the soldier who finished reloading started firing the machine gun again.

“What are you doing down there!!!”

Some people vomited due to the smell of gunpowder and zombies melted by heat.

I thought it was safe, but my pupils started shaking when I saw zombies coming straight from below.

In order to deal with the zombies piled up on the wall, they put the muzzles of their rifles into the holes in the floorboards and fire.

At that time, the private, whose hands were shaking, was so impatient that he could not retract the gun all the way and fired, which ricocheted and pierced the back of the sergeant who was firing the machine gun.

“Kwaaah!!!”

“”Sergeant Jeong!!!””

The man who was screaming while holding his stomach looked at the second gunner and said.

“Aap… Haap… Hold…”

As the first sergeant tried to apply pressure to the wound with trembling hands, the sergeant shouted.

“Get the minigun!!!!”

The private who fired the gun was looking at the chaos surrounding him with trembling pupils and approached the lying sergeant.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

“Haa… fuck… it’s okay… it’s okay…”

The private took out a syringe labeled morphine that he was holding and placed it on the sergeant.

“I’m sorry…“

A private standing with tears in his eyes, frustrated that something happened because of his own mistake.

Sergeant Jeong grabbed the back of Private’s head and pulled him toward his mouth.

“Sigh… Sigh… Shoot again…“

“…Yes, I understand.”

The private grabbed the rifle with trembling hands, placed it all the way on the floor, and began shooting at the piled up zombies.

Due to the noise, it started to build up not just below, but around the area, and Sergeant Jeong, perhaps feeling the effects of the painkillers, got up and headed toward the explosives.

People are shocked to see explosives attached to their bodies.

“Sergeant Jeong!!!!”

“Let go!”

“It’s not possible!”

A huge number of zombies were already rising like a wave from under the floorboards, and it was a dangerous situation as if they were going to break through the side.

“Already… it’s gone.”

Sergeant Jeong, who saw a hole in his stomach, fell to the floor with an explosive, ignoring those who were speechless.

At the strong smell of blood, zombies clinging to the wall began to fall from the building like waves, following Sergeant Jeong, who was bleeding.

A few seconds after Sergeant Jeong falls into the mountain of zombies…

Wow!!!!

There was a tremendous roar and fire erupted from the ground.

“”…..””

The sergeant who was the deputy gunner said with tears in his eyes as he inserted the belt-type bandolier into the minigun.

“What are you doing, everyone raise your guns!!! You bastards!!!”

The mountain of zombies that had collapsed was quickly filling up again.

Gain, who was shooting one by one with the Glock 17, suddenly looked towards the place where the explosion sound was heard.

Most of the accumulated zombies also moved there.

Gain walked up, using up all the bullets except for two magazines.

Yoo Min-seong looks at Ga-in coming up.

“Aggro has been released below.”

Yu Min-seong heard me and went down to get the zombie’s attention.

First floor.

Those who flinch when they see Kwak In-gu go down to the 4th line of defense.

“Look at the front.”

Kwak In-gu loaded the rifle and, unlike other people, began firing quickly, one shot at a time.

Taang!

“Why did we pile it up like this when we only gave them 248 rounds? It’s ridiculous.”

The floor was full of shell casings… Kwak In-gu smiled as he smelled gunpowder for the first time in a while.

“Can I shoot that too? It looks fun.”

As the soldier manning the machine gun launched his deadly weapon, Kwak In-gu spoke.

“… That kid’s expression is scary. Yes, take that for yourself.”

At that time, a huge explosion was heard, and due to the zombies rushing in, Kwak In-gu, who had been playing around, became serious.

As the zombies began to pile up, the zombies that climbed over the wall began to attack the soldiers, and Lim Jeong-hyeok, who discovered them late, gave an order.

“Captain Kim, blow it up.”

The building began to collapse with a loud roar.

All three-story buildings, excluding the department store, collapsed, and the zombies piled there were crushed to death by debris.

When the floor collapsed, the zombies that had climbed up to the 7th floor collapsed in an instant, covering the floor with dust.

“The last 4th… defense line… to be maintained.”

Only one entrance connected to the outside.

There is one minigun deployed and this is where Kwak In-gu is located.

The number of people who began to gather there was significant.

There were many people in the grasslands with various tattoos, and they gritted their teeth when they saw Kwak In-gu, but they took a stance, thinking that this situation had to be resolved first.

and…

A groaning sound was heard in a space filled with dust.

“”Kyaaah!!!””

Naturally, Kwak In-gu spoke as the representative.

“Ready to fire.”

A zombie came out of the smoke, but didn’t shoot anyone.

And thousands of zombies jumping out through the smoke.

When Kwak In-gu started shooting without saying a word, the people holding the guns quickly consumed bullets, following the sound of the shots.

8th floor.

A space that has already been bitten by zombies.

Around him, comrades who had turned into zombies were tearing at other comrades.

The private who shot the sergeant looked at the zombies piled up on the ground and then looked at his comrades who were changing.

“Sergeant Jeong… I will follow you…”

The private, wearing explosives, jumped into the arms of the zombies. A loud explosion was heard once again, but many of the zombies that had already climbed had infiltrated the inside of the building.

Ga-in was walking around inside the building alone.

Defense lines are prepared on each floor to defend while retreating.

As I was trying to pass by those who were quickly creating an internal defense line, I heard someone shouting.

“The 8th floor!!! It was breached!!!”

While Ga-in was heading to the 8th floor, he encountered Ji-seong Kim holding a knife.

“Huh? Gain, where are you going?”

“Where you are going.”

“…..”

Kim Ji-seong chuckled and followed Ga-in to the 8th floor.

A large number of zombies had already entered, and people were unable to go upstairs through the narrow entrance.

When he found Ga-in, he moved out of the way without saying a word.

And Sergeant Kim, who tortured Ga-in whom he encountered.

Boss Kim looked at Ga-in disapprovingly, and Ga-in made eye contact with Boss Kim, flinched, and stopped.

“…..”

Ji-seong Kim said after discovering Ga-in’s trembling body.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

“…..”

Kim Ji-seong held Ga-in’s hand, and Ga-in stiffened and looked at her boss.

Ga-in and Ji-seong opened the 8th floor entrance and entered.

Soldiers followed them and entered.

Kim Ji-sung warmed up and began eliminating zombies one by one.

Kim Ji-seong, who had been hiding his skills, quickly pierced the heads of zombies with a pole.

Kim Ji-seong looked at Ga-in, who was following in silence, and said.

“Hehe, where did the bragging little boy go?”

“…..”

As if to prove that surviving together with Minji until now was not a matter of luck, Kim Ji-seong played around and leisurely killed zombies.

“Is it because of that pig from earlier?”

“…..”

Kim Ji-seong looked at Ga-in, who had no reaction, and said with a grin.

“I guess it was because we were scared…”

Ga-in’s hand was on his waist, and Kim Ji-seong realized that he had greatly crossed the line.

“I… I’m sorry…”

When he hesitated backwards, Ga-in drew his sword and rushed at him.

The zombie’s face fell next to Kim Ji-seong, who fell to the floor and dodged it.

“You idiot.”

“…..”

Those on the 8th floor dealt with zombies with melee weapons and tried to quickly block the entrance, but a huge number of zombies had already arrived.

Those who load the rifles on their backs.

When Ga-in and Ji-seong were in front and could not fire, one soldier shouted.

“Come this way!!!”

Gain, who checked behind him and looked at his surroundings, began to run quickly.

If it weren’t for the soldier’s voice, we would have been surrounded by zombies.

Ga-in runs but suddenly stops.

“Gain!!!”

When Kim Ji-seong found Ga-in stopped, he ran back in the opposite direction and picked up Ga-in and ran.

“Wake!”

As soon as they reached the safe range, shooting began and Ga-in, who came to his senses, assessed the situation.

“…sorry.”

“Why is that?”

Ga-in found his hands shaking.

Ga-in holds her small hand tightly.

Kim Ji-seong left Ga-in behind to help the soldiers block the entrance to the 8th floor.

After blocking the entrance to the 8th floor, people are divided into upper and lower sections.

Kim Ji-seong stayed behind to protect Ga-in, who was sitting still, and a large sergeant came down from among the soldiers who had gone up.

Ga-in becomes agitated upon discovering Sergeant Kim, who appears to be in a strange condition.

“You… must die. No, I will definitely kill you.”

Ga-in began to tremble at the look in Boss Kim’s eyes and his voice, and slowly took a step back and moved to a corner.

“What!? This situation…”

The sergeant who held a pistol to Kim Ji-seong’s head.

His actions left Kim Ji-seong speechless.

“Get out of the way, if you don’t want to get caught.”

“Aren’t you crazy?! Why are you doing this in this situation!!!”

“Too many comrades died because of that bastard.”

Ga-in was trembling in the corner, covering his ears with both hands and closing his eyes at Boss Kim’s murderous voice.

“Don’t act like a child… because it’s disgusting. You murderous bastard…”

“hang on!!!”

When Boss Kim tried to turn the gun on Ga-in. Kim Ji-seong turned the gun on himself as if telling him to shoot himself instead.

“Jan’s just a kid.”

Boss Kim smiles.

“Kid? Last night, another comrade died… And yet, just because he’s young, let’s leave him alone…?”

“The purpose was to protect yourself…”

When the boss put pressure on the hand holding the pistol, Kim Ji-seong raised his hand as if he had no intention of resisting.

“Really? Is that how you interpret it? I had a friend who I had been working with for six years who was killed by that bastard just yesterday. We are here without even having time for a funeral. If we all die, who will take revenge?”

Ji-seong Kim nodded in approval, but the moment Sergeant Kim turned his head to Ga-in, he snatched Sergeant Kim’s pistol.

Kim Ji-seong disassembles the gun and drops it on the floor.

“I can’t say that I understand, but… I’m sorry. Ga-in is not a murderer. He just acted because he wanted to live and survive in this shitty world.”

Boss Kim looks at Ga-in, who is shaking in the corner.

“There is no time…”

Kim Ji-seong also turned his gaze to Ga-in and said.

“Think about it carefully, did Ga-in kill someone who was still?”

When Kim Ji-sung approached the trembling Ga-in and tried to lift her up, Ga-in quickly clung to Kim Ji-sung.

Surprised by Ga-in’s reaction, Kim Ji-seong went upstairs while hugging Ga-in as discreetly as possible.

And Sergeant Kim, who was left alone, looked down at his feet.

Although it is covered by a military uniform, blood is flowing through black military boots…

“no time…”

Emergency exit stairs outside the building.

Yoo Min-seong stumbled, received the grenade from the soldiers, and threw it down.

The soldiers who watched it.

Among them, one of the sergeants approached Yu Min-seong.

“I’m sorry.”

“yes?”

“I was there too.”

Yu Min-seong recalled the memory of being tortured while hanging upside down, and the sergeant who pulled him upward under orders.

“Ah… yes.”

“Especially kangaroo rats…”

Yu Min-seong cut off the soldier’s words.

“It’s Cain.”

“Yes, I feel sorry for Ga-in.”

“Then… apologize in person…”

The sergeant said as he fired.

“I don’t think that will work.”

“…under…”

The sergeant glanced at Yu Minseong and said.

“Would you be able to forgive a child if those he loved died at his small hands?”

“…The purpose was protection.”

“Yes, if someone you love dies for the purpose of protecting the child, would you be able to blame it on the child being young?”

“…..”

“That’s right. The sergeant who died yesterday was that kind of person to me, and we were chatting over tea 20 minutes ago.”

“…..”

Yu Min-seong stopped shooting and looked at the sergeant, but the sergeant was shooting in silence, and the sergeant behind him nodded.

“It’s true that you can’t sympathize with me because you’re a stranger anyway. I’m not going to ask you to sympathize with me. Don’t worry about it. And I’m really sorry about yesterday.”

Yu Min-seong looked at the sergeant in silence and then continued shooting again.
