There was no plan anyway.

First of all, I planned to take the direct highway to Busan.

Don’t forget to stop by Jangyu along the way, so you can just take the national highway.

After stopping by Jangyu and asking about what happened so far, I went straight to Busan.

Two to three days. No, I planned to stay for up to four days at most and then go to the industrial complex.

It would be good to first find out about Hamodan, but there was nothing I could find out when I entered the forest.

Fortunately, the industrial complex had a lot of information to obtain.

There was a lot of information to share. So, even if I didn’t know about Hamodan, it was necessary to contact the industrial complex forces again.

And other than that, there were some things to find out as we went.

“The reconnaissance party was annihilated… ”

No matter what, if they were fighting and fighting among themselves, there was no way it wouldn’t become known.

If they had been fighting with cold weapons, there would have been people holding guns.

If that were the case, there would definitely have been gunshots, and there would have been people who were lucky enough to survive.

Unless they turned all the barricades on their side, they would have spread the word.

And no matter how bad they are, they won’t make them cut off the flesh among themselves.

Then, the most likely candidate is death due to zombies… It will work.

Given this amount of time, it was possible to lure zombies into attacking other survivors.

However, even if there were zombies, it was not possible to attack a group of survivors holding a pistol every time.

Well, even if someone lured them there.

It wasn’t enough of a reason for the scouts to be wiped out every time.

“Probably, there is a high-ranking variant.”

It didn’t seem like a general.

If it had been General, a punitive force would have been formed a long time ago.

That guy has a tendency to go on a rampage, believing only in his own strength, so he doesn’t plan his strategy carefully.

Even if you set up a plan, it doesn’t last long.

If so, the offeror seemed like a strong candidate.

They’re probably hunting survivors traveling on the road.

“Jeegiral.”

I grumbled and wrote down the things I had to do in my notebook.

Anyway, things couldn’t work properly without me.

I know that other people feel more comfortable when competent people lead the way, but I thought it might be going too far.

Still, I was very happy when I thought about going to Busan and meeting Noh Chang-hoon and Kang Si-woo.

Once I’m done with Kang Si-woo, I’ll just relax and play around with Noh Chang-hoon.

I looked down at my notebook for a moment.

It felt like I had written down everything I needed to do.

So I closed my notebook and went to sleep.

When I came to my senses, it was just the right time.

5 am. There is no better time to start the day.

So, I washed myself thoroughly with the water I had accumulated, wiped my hair, and opened the map.

I’ve already memorized the shortest route, but I don’t know.

I thought it would be better to watch it at least once more.

“Okay, ready.”

I must have memorized the route, and all preparations have been completed.

Now all that was really left was to leave.

So, the moment I got on my bike and was about to take off, I saw Park Kang-chan.

It seemed like he was going to check out the traps and traps I had set up together, but he didn’t seem to say anything else.

Well, all I had to do was wave my hand.

Honestly, I didn’t have much to say either.

Basically, my sister, have a nice trip. Come on, I’ll be back. It’s probably like this.

So, I pedaled with peace of mind.

The surrounding scenery passed by in an instant. It was a good thing that there wasn’t a single thing in the way.

Of course, it wasn’t something that didn’t exist at all.

There were still barricades here and there, and it took some time to get through them.

There are no traffic lights, but it feels like waiting for a signal.

Still, as I went a little further, I could no longer see the barricade, which was nice.

As I pedaled a little more, a large barricade finally appeared.

This time, perhaps because the barricade was operating normally, everyone was in full military command.

So, it didn’t seem to be a place where there were looters.

Well, it may seem that way because it hasn’t changed.

“Do you have any documents?”

A guard stopped me and said,

I nodded, then took out the documents from my bag.

The guard looked at the documents carefully and then returned them to me.

I had a hard time holding back my laughter while watching that.

To be honest, the documentation wasn’t that elaborate. Because it was handwritten, I couldn’t understand some of it.

Still, since there was a handwriting that belonged to a specific person, security seemed to be somehow compromised.

That’s how I left the Jinju Citizens’ Union.

And I kept pedaling, moving for hours.

Anyway, the distance from Jinju to Jangyu was about 6 hours by bicycle.

Not only did I not get tired, but I was able to take a different route, so the time was shorter.

I was just careful, just in case, but I felt like it was okay to take risks at least once.

So, I stepped on the pedal first.

If Noh Chang-hoon or Kang Si-woo had seen it, they would have been shocked, but whatever.

There was always room for a bicycle to pass by, and this bicycle was a mountain bike.

Even when going through rough places, the speed did not decrease.

So, we had no choice but to move quickly through the area.

When I looked at the map after about three hours, I had arrived at Haman-gun.

Considering it took a bit longer last time, it would be nice to say it was a huge improvement.

Or maybe it’s because you can travel on the big highway without worrying about getting caught.

Anyway, I took a short break, drank some water, and continued pedaling.

Because, the sooner you arrive in Busan, the more time you have to do various things.

The only good thing about hesitating was the zombies that would target me.

If I were riding Ochu, I would have been able to break through, but if I crashed into it with this bike, I would have been blown away.

But strangely, there were no zombies seen the entire way.

Even considering it was daytime, it was strange.

“There’s no way he’s this smart.”

I took out the bags of secretions I had placed in my sternum.

Perhaps because of the hard work they have been doing, the number has now increased considerably.

Yeah, whatever. If it was this much, it would have been enough to scare me away.

Why, I think there was a setting like that.

High-ranking mutants have a unique body odor, so everyone knows who killed them.

But even so, something was strange. Zombies weren’t this smart.

“… A, C.”

It was worth getting hit on once, but there was definitely a reason why he was acting like this.

Even bounty hunters did not show this kind of caution.

That doesn’t mean there were any other options or hypotheses.

If there are multiple highly intelligent variants, the strategy of the most powerful variant is usually followed.

Since we didn’t put our heads together to think of a good solution, there were cases where we just charged in when opinions differed.

And I was quite attractive prey in this situation.

The saying ‘high risk, high return’ was just right.

The forces are still establishing themselves, but as time passes, each force grows in a different way.

Survivor forces usually grow by catching zombies, and zombie forces create new or stronger variants.

Here, to create a new or stronger variant, a survivor with that strong or unique ability was needed.

Well, there are survivors with special abilities.

However, among those survivors, considering the mother body and other conditions, I am the one who will be needed the most.

So, I had already thought that I would be receiving attention from all over the place.

And here a contradiction arose.

They’re intelligent enough not to attack me while I’m here and there.

And if you have that kind of intelligence, you definitely benefited from this situation.

If you don’t see any zombies, they are either dead or part of another faction. Because it’s one of two things.

However, even though it has such intelligence and power, it does not attack me.

If you can somehow subdue me, you will have a clue to greatly expand your power.

“Oh, I don’t know. I was thinking of cleaning it up if they attack me while I’m on the way.”

My head was pounding.

Since this area was not covered in the original work, there were only a few things I could know.

If only I had been able to meet at least a survivor living in Haman-gun.

It’s empty for both zombies and survivors, so there has to be something we can find out.

In the end, I gave up trying to find out more information and just pedaled on.

I don’t know if it was fortunate or not, but I couldn’t see anything while driving along the highway.

It was very boring because I couldn’t even find the common zombies.

If I had swung the baton even once during the trip, my body would have relaxed.

Well, if it wasn’t there, it was right to just go as if it wasn’t there.

It wasn’t a bad thing at all since I could go there comfortably without zombies.

It’s just that a few facts bother me.

“I guess it doesn’t matter, whatever.”

Having deduced up to this point, my role was essentially over.

The rest can be passed on to Noh Chang-hoon and Kang Si-woo.

Even though I drove through Haman-gun, Changwon-si, and the nearby highways, I didn’t see any zombies.

If I said that much, it was clear that the two of them would figure it out on their own.

Then, all I had to do was move based on what the two of us had figured out.

From what my friends say, even limbs could have crawled into it.

If you’re lucky, something quite interesting might happen.

I gathered my thoughts there and pedaled even harder.
