When I came to my senses, I saw a familiar ceiling.

I quickly got up and quickly realized where I was.

So, this was where I lived the last time I stayed at the industrial complex for a few days.

The house was still empty, and it was clear that it had been given away like this.

“… Ah?”

I took the watch out of my pocket, looked at it, and opened my mouth blankly.

There wasn’t much difference between the last time I checked and the current time.

No, it was a few minutes at most.

That meant I slept for at least a day.

“How long have you been sleeping? ”

It was an urgent situation, but there was no time to lie down like this.

I thought I would wake up after sleeping for a few hours at most, but I never thought I would lie down for this long.

… No, it probably means that you overworked your body to that extent.

It was obvious that the reason was that he was hit so hard that he couldn’t regenerate it.

Still, it didn’t seem like there was a big problem.

If something had happened while I was sleeping, people would have tried to wake me up.

The fact that he let me sleep seemed to mean that he had enough time without me.

So, you can rest assured about the industrial complex.

The problem is what happened to Busan…

Everyone would do well without me, so I wasn’t too worried.

Even if the Jinju Citizens’ Union attacked, we were superior in terms of power.

It may be a bit uncomfortable to hold a gun, but we also have an army.

Since there are tanks, the Jinju Citizens’ Union will have no other option.

Kang Si-woo would also prefer to win without shedding blood.

“… Still, I think I should go there once.”

“Are you awake?”

With the above words, the door slammed open.

I looked at the vision for a moment.

No matter how much this bastard carries a dog leg table in his hand, it’s like that.

I thought that kicking down the door might be a bit harsh.

Lee Sang looked at my expression and grumbled briefly.

“I was so busy that I was dying, but I came here three times a day to take care of you.”

“Then can I kick the door with my foot?”

“That’s right, because I’ve already come here more than 10 times. While other people are fighting, I can’t be the only one here relatively comfortable.”

“… Number 10?”

“Okay, number 10. It’s probably been three to four days.”

Lee Sang put down the dog leg table and plopped down next to me.

I wondered what on earth they had brought so they were so proud, so I stared at the food on the dog leg table for a moment.

“It was worth being proud of.”

“Huh? What?”

“No, can I eat now?”

First of all, there was kimchi.

There was a lot of rice with meat side dishes, and freshly seasoned vegetables were also placed in the bowl.

It was a mouth-watering diet even before the incident, so there was no reason to turn it down after the incident.

I hurriedly started eating, and Lee Sang looked at me pitifully.

The meal didn’t take very long. Because I ate all the food in just a few minutes at most.

Lee Sang looked at me as if he was tired of it, and then opened his mouth.

“How on earth did you work so hard that you fell asleep for three or four days and ate like you were hiding your eyes?”

“Well, it’s nothing special.”

“Let’s take a look.”

After thinking about it for a while, I briefly explained what had happened.

Anyway, that’s true. I felt like if I told him everything about what I had experienced, he would see me as a monster.

Even if you get hit with a pistol, you’re not human if you end up with a bruise.

But even such a reduction seemed surprising to Lee Sang.

Lee Sang looked at me with pity for a moment, then went outside and brought me several bottles of makgeolli.

I said to Lee Sang, trying not to be too amused.

“What is all this?”

“If you feel mentally tired, drink it.”

“It’s not hard, can I just drink it?”

“Will it work? And I have a lot to ask.”

Without hesitation, I opened a bottle of makgeolli and started drinking it.

Lee Sang looked at me as if I was pathetic, then just gave up and explained it to me.

So, things have been going really strange these past few days.

Originally, the industrial complex was a place where zombies were hard to find.

Some said it was a place where people rarely lived, and others were where the industrial complex forces were hiding really quietly.

So, unless people came intentionally, there should be no zombies coming to the industrial complex.

But lately, zombie invasions have been happening periodically, so everyone is getting tired.

“Once the industrial complex is breached, there is no going back for us.”

“Why don’t you live in the forest like Hamodan?”

“… How do you know Hamodan went into the forest?”

“Because I looked there once.”

“It’s good to go into the forest, but Hamodan told me that there are limits.”

“Hamodan came?”

Lee Sang nodded slowly.

I closed my mouth for a moment to think about the meaning.

Hamodan clearly seemed like he had gone into the forest at that time and was not going to come out again.

Except that it resembles a scouting party moving around outside in preparation for any unexpected situation.

It seemed like everyone was trying to live quietly in the forest without being noticed by zombies.

In fact, the forest was very large, and if we wanted to set up a trap, it could be done easily.

Zombies are more likely to visit cities than forests, so as long as they don’t get caught, they can survive for decades at best.

Since we worked hard to prepare to move there, we should be able to deal with quite a few zombies.

However, if the situation is such that the Hamodan is trying to contact other forces…

I organized the information that immediately came to mind and then asked Lee Sang a question.

“Zombies that have not been discovered until now suddenly appear and attack?”

“Yes. The old man said exactly what you said.”

“Zombies suddenly appeared there too?”

“Yes.”

“I have one guess.”

It was covered a few times in the original work.

In a war that is not a war between zombies and humans, one side ultimately wins.

Humans may win, or zombies may win.

It usually ends with the zombies winning, with only a few survivors escaping to other areas.

It often ended in human victory.

The mutants then run away to avoid the survivors.

And if by chance there is no place where zombies have won in the nearby area.

The mutants who were running away eventually gather in one place and become a large army.

Those zombies invade the weakest areas, trying to increase their power and at the same time gain space to leave behind future generations.

Maybe that’s what’s happening now.

And the weakest region was not actually the weakest region.

In the original, it was described as being weak overall, so the difficulty level is probably the easiest.

Then, it was clear that the biggest target would be near Jinju.

Considering that they attacked, it seemed like they were trying to beat up all the forces near Jinju.

Then you found out.

The industrial complex is not an easy place. The same goes for the forest where Hamodan is hidden.

As both are very good for defense, zombies must be prepared to make big sacrifices.

There is not much to be gained by occupying it like that.

Because both the industrial complex and the forest where Hamodan is hidden are sure to have less than a hundred people.

If there was a place to target, it would be the Jinju Citizens’ Union…

The Citizens’ Coalition was difficult, but it was not easy.

Because they have more weapons and a larger population than other forces.

Well, it was still better than other places with high risk and low return.

At least Citizens United is high risk, high return.

In addition, the Citizens’ Coalition has been gathering people together in one place recently.

The intention to make defense easier is a good one. If we just protect that place, we can protect people.

You can go looting with peace of mind.

However, on the other hand, since it would not guard uninhabited areas, there was a disadvantage that zombies could freely invade.

They must have thought that the people there would have brains, but it was obvious that they wanted to leave it to each faction.

So it was only a preliminary battle so far, and it was clear that they would now attack properly.

If you knew where the battlefield would be, half the battle was solved.

Even if you just placed a few people where zombies might come, you could deal with them by hitting and running.

If there were people like me, there would be dozens of them.

As long as we had a good plan to eliminate the zombies, it wasn’t a dream.

However, the problem was that in the current situation, there were only a few people strong enough to fight the mutants.

There will be at least a few thousand zombies, if there are fewer people to fight.

In fact, defeat is already decided.

It wasn’t that there was no way.

There was a way to ask for help in Busan.

Of course, it seemed like it would take a while for reinforcements to arrive.

Even if we only brought strong people, we would have to spend about a full day just moving around.

In fact, if there was another method, it would have been better to use it.

But since there was no other way now, I felt like I had no choice but to go and contact them.

So, I expressed my confidence by telling Lee Sang to just trust me.

After listening to my plan, Lee Sang told me to do it on my own as he would give me whatever I needed.

So now all that was left was to quickly drive Ochu and go to Busan.

The moment I gathered my thoughts and quickly stood up, my vision began to spin.

No, not only did it spin, but the world went black and white for a moment and then came back.

In the end, I had to sit slowly on the floor and wait for it to calm down.
