Chapter Index

    Damn bitch. Where on earth are you doing?

    Thinking like that, Noh Chang-hoon sighed and shuffled through the documents.

    He knew that shuffling through documents wouldn’t reduce the workload.

    I also knew that rather than wasting time like this, it would be better to grab a ballpoint pen and write something down.

    However, he couldn’t concentrate on his work, so he held the pen and put it down repeatedly.

    The reason was simple.

    This is because Ye-ji Lee, who said she would just do reconnaissance and come back, did not come back.

    Well, things don’t always work out well.

    So, he thought about moving on thoughtfully, even if it was a few days late.

    In fact, so far, it can be seen as a schedule delay within the expected range.

    Of course, the problem was that he knew better that that wasn’t the case.

    It is clear that he is caught up in something else and is taking the lead in the incident.

    ha. Only a helpless sigh lingered around the office.

    Noh Chang-hoon looked down at the pile of documents for a moment and then picked up the pen again.

    And I started approving the documents quickly and reliably.

    In fact, he spent more than half of the day with documents, but he had no regrets.

    In this situation, nothing was more important than quick and clear decisions.

    It’s okay if you don’t do it. The lukewarm attitude that it is okay to do it is poisonous.

    Even if it seemed obvious that it was nonsense, it was necessary to speak out.

    It was in that context that he volunteered for desk work.

    The only thing I touched was a drawing on the paper, but whatever.

    Noh Chang-hoon understood well that someone had to touch the document for someone else to move.

    Just do it. If you can’t do it, just learn.

    Once you try it, you can correct it and reflect on it.

    I wasn’t able to write novels at first, but I improved as I continued to write.

    So let’s sit down and do this again until it continues.

    I don’t know how something that started with that thought ended up here, but he didn’t care.

    Someone had to do it anyway.

    Kang Si-woo was not a leisurely person who would waste time on paperwork like this.

    The other people at Hyeonrimgwan were already on the verge of paralysis just from handling minor paperwork.

    Yeji Lee was too stupid and lazy to be entrusted with this kind of work.

    It wasn’t much different from other soldiers or students who had never done it before.

    Plus, they didn’t know much about the situation elsewhere.

    Therefore, it was inevitable that he, who had ties to both the military base and the campus, would take on this job.

    Of course, that was the most efficient way.

    But he was regretting that decision the most over the past few days.

    Being in charge of paperwork meant that I couldn’t easily move to another location.

    Therefore, missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, and material collection were impossible.

    Of course, it was impossible to follow Yeji Lee and move far.

    Damn bitch.

    Noh Chang-hoon repeated that once again and then fixed his eyes on the documents.

    It wasn’t anything she did wrong, but I couldn’t bear it without swearing when the situation got so bad.

    If it’s reconnaissance, it’s reconnaissance. Battle surface battle. Hard work is hard work.

    She was a person who did more than her share of tasks, except for using her brain.

    He was also an efficient person who worked hard without much support.

    As she performed well every time she was deployed, people had blind faith in her.

    Yeji Lee will do a great job wherever she goes and come back.

    You can trust her in any dangerous place.

    So this time, I will scout out Gyeonggi-do well on my own and come back, same thing.

    Looking at it objectively, he knew that it would be better to send Yeji Lee to Seoul alone.

    But he didn’t want to send her to a dangerous place alone.

    No matter what, she was the one I had the longest tribulations with.

    So Noh Chang-hoon didn’t like people’s perception of him that way.

    If it weren’t for that, it would have been okay for him to sneak in and offer to help.

    No, it would have been okay if she had reached out first, saying she needed help.

    “…What kind of confidence does that kid have?”

    Noh Chang-hoon rubbed his eyes with both hands and sighed again.

    That damn Yeji Lee subconsciously rejected all the helping hands he offered her.

    It’s okay if you decide to attach someone. It’s okay if you offer to go with me.

    And this time, it’s okay because I can do the scouting around Gyeonggi-do and return by myself.

    I’m tired of hearing those useless lies over and over again.

    So no matter what happened, Noh Chang-hoon was not going to move.

    It was obvious that Yeji Lee would come back alive anyway.

    With no worries, they will just show up and say, ‘Wow!’ and complain that they had a hard time.

    All he had to do was go and seek her out.

    And I must have gathered my thoughts while listening to her tales of adventure.

    That was a virtually immutable truth that had been repeated over and over again for nearly a year.

    Noh Chang-hoon had no doubt that Lee Ye-ji would return safely.

    I couldn’t believe it when she said that she had a really hard time in Gyeonggi-do.

    But why?

    This time, he couldn’t calm the anxiety boiling inside him.

    Something would happen in Seoul and she would be in trouble.

    A sense almost like a sixth sense tried to lead him to Seoul.

    However, Noh Chang-hoon could not move hastily.

    Leaving for Seoul without a proper handover?

    Who is the key person who has been coordinating the military and survivor forces?

    He knew very well what the consequences would be.

    If it had been peacetime, other people would have turned a blind eye to such dogmatism, but not now.

    Starting just a few days ago, numerous zombies began to rampage.

    Thanks to this, people running in the field were fighting zombies without even blinking.

    Although it was not a situation that would shake the entire community, we could not stand alone in this situation.

    Yeah, it would be better if someone else would agree.

    “I’m going crazy…”

    Noh Chang-hoon muttered that and started approving the documents again.

    He knew better than to know that someone else was not in Busan right now.

    To the other people at Hyeonrimgwan and the soldiers at the military base, it felt like Busan was already a second capital.

    To them, Seoul must be recaptured someday, but there is no need to recapture it right away.

    It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

    In the first place, he had no intention of recapturing Seoul in the near future.

    Rather, I planned to prepare in the meantime as there was still time left for the king or queen to appear.

    That would have happened if Lee Ye-ji, who headed to Gyeonggi-do, had returned on time.

    Noh Chang-hoon sighed and roughly guessed what had happened.

    No, whatever. There was no need to call it reasoning.

    It was obvious even without looking.

    I went up to scout Gyeonggi-do and the purpose of reconnaissance itself would have been achieved.

    But in the process, he probably moved to Seoul for whatever reason.

    Then, whether intentionally or unintentionally, I got caught up in what happened there and am struggling to resolve it.

    The details may be different, but at least the basic gist has not changed.

    It was like that last time and this time too. And it will continue to be so.

    After thinking about that, he rubbed his eyes and sighed.

    He could accurately predict what would happen from now on.

    Kang Si-Wooden. Either yourself. Someone will travel there to help her.

    And he will save Lee Ye-ji, who is in trouble, succeed in his mission, and return to Busan.

    It was obvious even without looking at it.

    It was obvious even without looking at it, so I had to go.

    However, Noh Chang-hoon sighed and then frowned at the contradictory situation where he could not go to help.

    “…Tsk.”

    Is it because I used too much force?

    The ballpoint pen was crisp and shattered in his hand.

    Noh Chang-hoon glanced at the ink flowing from his hand and wiped his hand with a tissue.

    “This is why I can’t do the paperwork.”

    he grumbled.

    It was right to refrain from working until I calmed down my emotions.

    You can’t break a pencil or pen while paying.

    In fact, it was like an unintentional break.

    Noh Chang-hoon wondered how to use that time.

    Of course, the worries did not last long.

    How do you convince others of the importance of recapturing Seoul?

    He tried to calm his emotions by thinking about the topic.

    “…what is it.”

    Noh Chang-hoon twirled his fist.

    I don’t know what the hell was going on, but I saw something that looked like a person beyond the window.

    Considering that he worked in a high rise, at least it wasn’t a person.

    How did the zombies end up here?

    Noh Chang-hoon, thinking that, walked forward and chuckled.

    And instead of swinging his fist, he opened the window.

    “What should I do so it comes through the window instead of the door?”

    “Because work was a bit urgent.”

    Kang Si-woo came into the window and answered.

    Noh Chang-hoon smiled secretly as he saw Kang Si-woo like that.

    Kang Si-woo in front of me seemed to have no leisure.

    His expression was a little impatient, different from his usual expression.

    Noh Chang-hoon knew better than anyone else what that meant.

    In fact, it was a similar level of surprise to Yeji Lee, who had a good head.
