Hiding the House in the Apocalypse - Hiding the House in the Apocalypse chapter 35

“Skelton!”

On the way to Pangyo, I met the Defender siblings.

They were riding on an old scooter, and for some reason Defender’s brother was at the wheel.

My brother, noticing my gaze, shrugged and looked back.

“Because I drive better.”

The defender, who was sitting awkwardly in the back seat, stared at my face.

“Are you not eating well these days?”

“why?”

“It seems like you’ve lost more weight than before.”

“I don’t have any appetite.”

Defender’s brother stared at me intently and asked me indirectly.

“If you don’t have any, would you like to share some?”

“I’m okay. It’s just that I have no appetite.”

The horse is a preserved food, and if you eat it for about two years, it will come up from the inside just by smelling it.

Well, maybe it’s because I’m hungry.

“How long do you have left? If you’re hungry, I’ll share it.”

“I’m okay. What are you guys?”

“we? Do you have three months left?”

3 months is soon.

But you don’t have to worry.

These siblings will sit down and kill the others before dying of starvation and get their food.

“Let’s move. before the sun goes down.”

“good.”

Dentist Kim’s home and clinic were located in an upscale residential area in Pangyo.

The neighboring new town of Bundang suffered near-destruction damage during the war, and the downtown area of Pangyo was bombarded beyond recognition of its original shape, but the luxury residential area in the suburbs barely escaped the ravages of war.

Perhaps that fineness is the reason why the village remains as a high-end residential area that is no different from before the war.

Before the members of the National Assembly left, a high-ranking member of the National Committee commanded and used the mansion, and after they left, the military took over and used it as an official residence.

Contrary to m9’s thoughts, the generals chose luxury houses, not apartments.

Soldiers were guarding the road leading to the residential area.

It has already been discussed in advance and Dentist Kim has said that he gave a word to the military, but it is not that easy to step forward in front of a fully armed soldier.

Fortunately, it seems that the discipline of the legionnaires was still maintained.

“Ah, I heard the story from Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim’s house is over there.”

The dapper officer pointed with his finger at a mansion with solar panels visible in the distance.

“Go with caution. but.”

The officer added with a refreshing smile that matched the cool mask.

“It will hurt a little.”

As the residence of the legionnaires’ leadership, the area was strictly guarded.

Fully armed soldiers were standing everywhere, and air defense trucks equipped with jamming devices for anti-drones were also visible.

A few civilians were also seen, but they appeared to be businessmen with ties to the military rather than residents.

“Is this the house? is that house?”

Coincidentally, there were two houses next to each other at the point the officer pointed out.

Both are so-called industrial styles that reveal concrete, so they looked like one from a distance.

“Isn’t it the same house? It looks like it was designed by the same person.”

Defender’s brother looked around the two houses and said.

“Maybe.”

Defender received his brother’s words.

“When people with money work together, aren’t they closer than brothers?”

I also saw both mansions.

style is similar.

The so-called courtyard style, a high outer wall surrounds the entire building.

The two mansions resembled twins, but the atmosphere was diametrically opposed.

The nearby house had peeling paint in places, and the doorway had signs of being closed, as well as scars from knocking on the door with something sharp or dull.

The sand bags and barricades scattered all over the place reminded us of the wind and waves that hit the mansion.

However, the atmosphere next door is completely different.

Although clearly of the same design, the house, far from being damaged, looked in good condition in every respect, and even had two soldiers guarding the front door.

First, I went to a shabby house.

Defender rang the doorbell.

A shadow lingered on the second floor.

Soon the door opened slightly and a woman appeared.

He didn’t look very old, but a dark shadow of melancholy hung over his face.

“who are you?”

A woman showed her vigilance under the sloshing anti-burglary chain.

“Is this Mr. Kim’s house?”

Defender asked coolly with a sales smile.

The woman muttered something with an expressionless face and pointed to the next door.

“The person called Mr. Kim will be over there.”

“thank you.”

As the woman was about to close the door, a boy’s voice suddenly leaked from the inside.

“It’s not Mr. Kim! They’re not Mr. Kim’s house!”

A cry as if it were evil.

The door was closed in the middle, so the boy’s cry was drowned out, and soon the sound of a woman scolding in front of the door was heard.

Hearing the child cry, we left.

Heading to another mansion that looked similar, the Defender siblings stared at each other.

“It smells like sh*t.”

The younger brother opened his mouth.

Soon she looked at me and said in a low voice.

“What do you think of Skeleton?”

“······well.”

There is something.

You can’t know unless you’re an idiot.

But, I don’t know what exactly the problem is.

Still I have a toothache and want a cure.

Defender’s younger brother slowed down, stood shoulder to shoulder with me, and out of nowhere pointed at the screen of his cell phone.

[ how is it? Did you like to come with me? ]

“Um, admit it.”

When things get suspicious, the one with more people is better.

That way we can use more strength and save each other.

In particular, when you are undergoing treatment that puts you in a defenseless state, such as dental treatment, you need someone to protect you.

As the possibility of Dentist Kim being a suspicious figure has increased, companions are not optional, but essential.

In the midst of tension, Defender rang the doorbell.

Unlike before, the door opened right away this time.

“hello?”

A middle-aged man with a white face and many wrinkles around his eyes greeted us with a friendly smile.

He is wearing a white doctor’s coat.

“Three minutes? Maybe Viva! Apocalypse! at?”

“yes. I am Skeleton.”

“Ah, Mr. Skeleton. You are younger than you look.”

“What do you mean?”

“hahahaha, nothing. Regardless, I am a bulletin board user with the nickname Dentist Kim.”

shook hands with him.

His hand grip was stronger than it looked, and I could feel the rough calluses on every knuckle.

While shaking hands, Dentist Kim’s gaze turned to the Defender siblings.

“Who are these people?”

A slightly wary eye.

Well, if there are three people involved, it’s worth being wary of.

But having one of them as a woman helps in this situation.

When he saw the defender, he was wary, but when he saw the defender’s brother, he signaled that he was okay with the soldiers watching from afar.

Maybe if there were only three men, the soldiers wouldn’t have come this way?

“Yes, he is my cousin. We live together.”

“okay. Anyway, all three are welcome. Eat inside.”

Dentist Kim led us to the drawing room.

The inside of the mansion was full of splendor, befitting a mansion in a wealthy village.

A sense of openness, a sense of color, and a gloss that is difficult to find in ordinary people’s houses flowed in every nook and cranny.

Looking at the beautiful interior that seemed to have hardly suffered damage from the war, we took our seats on the luxurious sofa.

On the sofa, a woman who looked like Dentist Kim’s wife and her daughter were sitting and staring at us.

As is the case with daughters, women’s attire is not the perishable attire. Luxury-looking clothes, necklaces, other shiny things, and small dainty watches worn on the wrist.

It is the same as the clothes of a well-to-do wife before the war.

How can you live a life like this in this situation?

Da-ram Kim, whom I can’t contact now, came to mind.

The gorgeous woman called Dentist Kim and whispered something into her ear.

“Oh, can I look at things for a while before the treatment?”

I took out what Defender brought with me.

Inside the vinyl and newspaper were clothes and bags that were called luxury goods before the war.

The woman examined them one by one.

“Hmm, this is a bit old.”

She especially tore the bag around. He didn’t know much about the world of luxury goods, but he was the guy with the most expensive brand in the department store.

She murmured as she put down her bag.

“But the real thing is the real thing.”

Soon, her gaze turned to me.

“Where did you buy this?”

“yes?”

“Did you buy it in Korea? Did you buy it abroad?”

“Ah, that.”

No, how would I know that.

Let’s turn to the defender,

“London.”

immediately came forward for me.

“My mother bought it while traveling. I didn’t even write a few times. He liked the other one I bought better.”

“okay. By the way, did you come to buy it like that?”

“It takes a lot of time because I use it a lot. I didn’t think it was enough to bring it here.”

“Ah~ I see.”

From a distance, it seemed that the wife had the right to decide on this house.

“honey. Things are fine.”

After she gave an ok sign, Dentist Kim led us to the basement.

In the basement, the perfect clinic that the community saw was proudly located.

“So, from which minute?”

When I saw my defender brother, I waved my hand.

So, I raised my hand first.

“Sit down.”

Dentist Kim laid me down like a dental hospital before the war, put an inhaler in my mouth, lit my mouth with a bright light, and touched and observed my teeth with various instruments.

“Oh, you have a cavity here. There is no anesthetic, but can you stand it?”

“yes.”

It’s a posture where you can’t resist, but I think there’s a big meaning to the defender siblings behind you.

Because I already trusted Dentist Kim at that point.

Rather, it made me wonder why he trusted us so much.

No matter how much a woman is involved, even though the most energetic young people in their 20s and 30s flock to other people’s houses, accepting them without muttering is because it is not possible with the slightest courage.

Weiyiing–

Nightmarish sounds from before the war echoed through the cellar.

“Raise your hand if you are sick. Hey, we haven’t even started yet.”

treatment started.

I overcame the pain of treatment by moderately enduring or moderately raising my hand.

Deed Dede Deuk!

“Ouch!”

“Be patient. You’re sick. Your contemplation is solemn.”

After a while, the treatment was over.

result is success.

No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a great success.

During this time of destruction, not only did they remove cavities, but they also enjoyed the luxury of filling empty seats with amalgam.

As I stroked the hardened amalgam with my tongue, I felt a strong sense of satisfaction.

The next treatment was Defender’s brother’s turn.

She had a large cavity in her molar.

“You need to do a neurological treatment like that.”

At the word “neurotherapy,” Defender’s brother looked up at me with a tear-stained face and held out his cell phone.

[Skelton Help ㅠㅠ]

“…”

I had this feeling.

Insinuatingly, I turned my head and asked Dentist Kim.

“Can you be anesthetized?”

“Anesthesia requires some medicine. You have to pay more to use the medicine. It’s something we only use for VVIPs like the generals.”

“Can this be enough?”

I handed out a local anesthetic I had just in case.

“oh. Do you have a syringe?”

“yes.”

Tears welled up in Defender’s brother’s eyes.

She tapped on the tablet and soon showed me a text the size of a door.

[ love you ]

“…”

As expected, the defender brother’s social skills were at the beast level.

I had to grab her from the side and hold her down as she screamed as she barely gave her an anesthetic injection.

Still, after being anesthetized, he smoothly cooperated with the treatment and the treatment room regained stability.

“I’ll go out and see.”

Defender, who was watching the treatment, left the treatment room.

When I looked up, he shook his head.

It looks like there is nothing to treat.

In the clinic room, where the sound of the engine of the handpiece reverberated quietly, I waited for the time to pass, recalling the scenery of the past for a while.

*

“Ouch. I, Ivy… Ivy… Ah, I’m not going to open it…”

I left the house with my defender brother, who had swollen cheeks.

Dentist Kim and her family escorted us to the front door.

“Be careful. If you need another treatment next time, please visit us. Viva! Apocalypse! People are always welcome!”

To the end he was a kind person.

Although it was a bit self-reliant and calculating, it was a very good treatment, and I felt better seeing my family who was able to afford it after a long time.

But when the Defender approached me with a strange smile, I felt the problems I had been ignoring unfold before me like a fan.

“Yes, that human. It’s fake.”

It seems that Defender left his seat and went next door.

I don’t know how he was coaxed, but he was told of the tragedy that had happened to this house by a depressed-looking woman.

The conclusion is as I vaguely expected.

In conclusion, Dentist Kim, who talked about his future aspirations to the community before the war, and Dentist Kim, who treated me, are different people.

“······They said she was a person who worked under the original doctor. Right after the war, when the mob came here and ran amok, they brought their family to help their old employer, and that was the real Dentist Kim’s beginning of tragedy.”

The perfect facilities in the basement and the awards and plaques that adorned the drawing room are not his.

The luxury clothes and bags she wore are not hers either.

The same goes for the luxurious children’s clothes worn by their daughter.

Their stuff didn’t exist here.

The murderer and his family stole the life of a family, as well as their entire life.

“…”

But his treatment was perfect.

The family posed no danger to me, nor did they penalize me.

They were always kind and courteous to us.

From the perspective of the relationship between a patient and a doctor, I wondered if there could be a more ideal relationship than this.

“how will we do it?”

Defender seems to want to kill the family.

So does his brother.

Without a great sense of justice, just needing an excuse, they demanded my consent.

“…”

After thinking for a while, I sighed and looked back at them.

“Let it be.”

“… is that so?”

There were surprisingly many things contained in the short question and answer.

The fact that Defender clenched his left molars was probably one of the unspoken agreements.

I didn’t even have to kill him.

Dentist Kim, who healed me, and Dentist Kim, who has already died, are in a sense no different.

No, maybe the new Dentist Kim is a better person than the old one.

Defender might have thought that far in that short question and answer.

however.

“hmm?”

Something came out of my mouth.

When I spit it out, it was an amalgam that had just been inserted.

Looking back at me staring blankly at the amalgam on my palm, Defender smiled.

“how will we do it?”

“…”

The conclusion was the same, but it is also true that we hesitated for a while.
