Fortunately, the crying wasn’t that loud.

I guess I realized the importance of noise after being tormented by zombies, because the crying that was loud at first gradually became quieter.

So, for a while, I watched Kim Yeon-hwa cry while hugging her parents.

It was fortunate that the students enjoyed their work as if it were their own.

Now that we’re halfway successful, all that’s left is to return to school safely.

Of course, I couldn’t resolve what was boiling inside.

Because I also had a sense of self, I couldn’t lie down and tell Kim Yeon-hwa’s father that I was sick.

Moreover, perhaps because it regenerates quickly, all the bruises that were there just a moment ago have disappeared.

Naturally, I thought it would be better to just pretend it didn’t happen and just whine to Kang Si-woo.

He’s a kid who secretly takes care of people’s minds, so he’s going to have to whine like that for a while.

“Rather…”

I quietly opened the door to the boxing gym and peeked inside.

Well… too many nearby shops were robbed to be considered as just the two of us.

One convenience store is enough for the two of us to survive for about two months.

No, I couldn’t eat it all, so I had to have some left over.

However, most of the stores selling food had been robbed, so it was suspicious.

I know this because I’ve been hit myself, and Kim Yeon-hwa’s father can kill most mutants.

so…

“As expected.”

There were more people inside the boxing gym.

As expected, Kim Yeon-hwa’s father and others seemed to be holding on somehow by bringing food.

Starting from the nearest shopping mall, they probably raided every time there was a shortage of food.

And then I saw one of the most ominous placards.

It said, “Children’s boxing contest,”…

“Fucked…”

“Yeji, what’s going on?”

“Hey, Seonghwa. I have a headache right now.”

“Ah.”

Kang Seonghwa stiffened. Yes, I guess that makes sense.

There were close to twenty people inside the dojo, looking at us anxiously.

It was the same situation as the previous Bumin Campus, but worse.

Still, they were all college students.

Even though some people had less physical strength, they were better than the elderly.

However, there were not many men here, and the rest were women and children.

There are twelve minors, four women and four men.

Excluding ordinary parents and minors, there were at most two or three people who could use some effort.

Even though Kim Yeon-hwa’s father was there, it was difficult for us to take them all with us.

If Kang Si-woo is there, he’s not here right now.

Fortunately, our Kang Si-woo had thought about this situation as well.

If there are a lot of people that need to be rescued, I told them to take it easy and collect supplies for a few days.

Since we already explained to Kang Si-woo where we were going, if there is no news from us, a follow-up rescue team will leave.

Then, all you have to do is go back to the university with the people who arrived that way! But…

“Ha, really.”

Well, I shouldn’t be involved in politics anyway…

Did you intentionally leave it to Kang Si-woo and stay quiet?

But there is a force that is envious and jealous of Kang Si-woo.

There were quite a few people who were against this rescue team that I proposed last time.

In order to silence those people and solidify Kang Si-woo’s position, a follow-up rescue team should not be allowed to depart.

How will Professor Chang-Hoon Jeong maintain the community while Si-Woo Kang is away…

I’m sure there will be a lot of noise in the meantime.

Then, the leisurely beekeeping life I was planning would be disrupted.

So, here you have to use a bicycle.

“That’s Yeonhwa!”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“If you’ve calmed down, can we talk for a moment? Could you please invite everyone? I think I need a plan…”

“Yes, sister.”

Kim Yeon-hwa smiled, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

I was really sad that I couldn’t hold back about what I had been hit with earlier.

Yeah, whatever. Even if I get hit in the stomach, I don’t even notice it.

Nothing happened, voila! Let’s move on.

Since I had a lot of things to worry about anyway, I ignored the apologetic look from Kim Yeon-hwa’s father and opened my mouth.

“Everyone gather together!”

It wasn’t that difficult to explain to people.

We are people from the university campus over there, and we heard that a student’s family named Kim Yeon-hwa was here, so we came to rescue them.

But don’t laugh and talk! I thought there would be only a few people, but since there are so many people, I think I’ll need additional support.

So, I will go to university alone and come back, so everyone, don’t fight and just get some rest.

Well, when I explained it that way, it was all over.

Of course, all the work I had to do was left to the students.

Kim Yeon-hwa worked with her father to calm people down.

Because we met each other, I saw other people calming down quickly.

Kim Ki-jun and Kim Dae-han inspected supplies within the community together with Kim Yeon-hwa’s mother.

Meanwhile, Lee Ah-young was taking another look at the injured people’s wounds.

“Hey, Seonghwa. What are you going to do? Didn’t I tell you to do the work earlier?”

But this bastard, I gave him some free time to run someone else’s errands, but he just sighed.

It’s not because I was hit hard.

Like this? People?? Do you mind if I just play?

So, the moment I was about to say that I would stand guard if I had nothing else to do, I saw Kang Seong-hwa frowning.

If you say that you couldn’t do what you wanted to do earlier, then you will write something like that.

So, I took my stance and patted Kang Seong-hwa and said,

“Why are you like that today?”

“My house is near here.”

“Oh.”

“So I’m a bit sensitive today.”

“Gu, the purpose of the rescue team is to save people… shouldn’t you have told me…?”

“Because my father is a soldier, I didn’t think there would be any problem, so I kept my mouth shut.”

“No, then… it’s a bit…”

“You can just wait for the next opportunity. Yes, then.”

Looking at this kid’s expression, he wasn’t okay at all.

It felt like he wanted to go home, but he seemed to be holding back?

But I set myself up thinking that I would want that kind of girl.

I felt so sorry for this that I couldn’t raise my head.

“Well, Seonghwa…?”

“Yes.”

“Where is your home?”

“This is the 11th floor of Seorim Apartment nearby.”

“1… 11th floor…?”

“I can see your eyes shaking.”

I felt like I asked for no reason. Speaking of apartments, it’s a bit hard to get there.

Although there may be a lot to gain, there is not much to be gained from an apartment.

Are you going to a place where you may or may not have family just to feel sorry for Kang Seong-hwa?

But I have to go. What can I do? Even though I’m sorry, I can’t help it.

I felt like I was being pricked by a conscience that seemed to be gone for so long.

“Reconnaissance anyway…! Because I had to! Let’s go and come back. Let’s pretend it’s a date with my sister.”

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, it’s nearby. Just come back later.”

“I ask you again, is it okay? You could die.”

“Me?”

I couldn’t help but laugh at those words.

No, I’m going to die? Don’t I know if there are dangerous variants?

I was scared and reluctant until just now, but not anymore.

How can you be scared when you’re a man? Are you holding on?

“Let’s go! Guide me!”

“Ah.”

Seonghwa Kang let out a short moan.

Ignoring the lamentations that I had flipped a strange switch, I explained the plan to the others.

On the way back from Kang Seong-hwa’s house, I said I would scout out some shopping malls that hadn’t been robbed.

As it happens, the supplies that Kim Ki-jun and Kim Dae-han analyzed will be insufficient, so we still need to take medicine and such.

There was no reason to hesitate. From the beginning, I intended to go all out.

Well, if you stay quiet after hearing the noise, you’re not a man, right?

It’s a shame, so is Seorim Apartment safe? Anyway, I was planning on going there.

“Let’s go!”

“Ha…”

So I took Kang Seong-hwa, who just sighed and said, “I’m screwed,” and went out of the building.

There was nothing to worry about anyway. There were no zombies to be seen on the streets.

And even if you can see it, Unlucky Noh Chang-hoon and I are here right now.

Similar to Noh Chang-hoon, Kang Seong-hwa has a tendency to compete with strength.

Therefore, your ability is focused on winning in a short period of time, and when that time ends, you become a little helpless.

I am the one investing during that period. It’s a meat shield.

If Kang Seonghwa holds out like that until he recovers, most of the zombies will die.

It felt like I was walking through a river, so my shoulders felt very strong.

In the first place, I could kill most zombies, so there was nothing scary about it.

“Right? Nothing much happened.”

“You are so foolish.”

“Hey.”

“It’s a joke. That’s the apartment, Yeji.”

“Yes.”

The apartment complex was no different from a zombie residence.

Whether there are zombies trapped inside the house or gathered in a nearby parking lot or something like that.

Anyway, it would be nice to say that there were a lot of zombies.

Of course, it was better to have more zombies trapped inside the house, and fortunately, there were no zombies to be seen in this apartment complex.

So all I had to do was wander around and focus on the noise.

I also set up a return route and found two convenience stores nearby.

“What about later? If your father is alive, you know that too, right?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Hehe, this is how you build your network.”

Kang Seong-hwa frowned, but then smiled kindly.

Anyway, since I had come this far, it was certain that I could go home.

So, you must be feeling good too.

Hoping to be able to suck on a spoonful of honey later, I went into the apartment where Kang Seong-hwa’s house was located.
