Infected - Chapter 13



Only Noblemtl

Episode 12

While Young-man was holding a machete and measuring the distance between himself and the infected.

Another infected person appeared in the direction that Finance pointed to.

She was a young woman.

The woman running towards me with half her upper body naked had red lipstick tattered around her torn lips.

At the sight of that strange appearance, Jaejae momentarily regained his composure.

Not a woman.

No, that’s not a person.

If I don’t deal with it, I’ll die.

And this is not killing.

Since the dead have come back to life, all we have to do is put them back in their place.

I kept repeating myself, but it wasn’t easy.

All that was needed was to put it into action, and that was to wait for the finances.

The problems didn’t stop there.

Two people appeared one after another behind the guy who was rushing at Youngman.

And behind the naked woman, a huge man appeared, easily overwhelming the size of Jae-ui.

At an incredible speed that was completely out of proportion to its size.

It was at that moment that Beomsik, who was left alone with no one to help, was hesitating over who to help.

A small figure crossed the road, crashing into a car on the road.

It seemed like all of these were just a few infected people who had fallen out of line.

But when Beomsik came face to face with the small figure, his two legs froze.

He’s only eight years old now.

Beomsik couldn’t move when he saw a little girl running towards him wearing a swimming cap and a tube attached to her waist.

It wasn’t just because he was a child.

It seemed like there was some other reason.

Beomsik’s embarrassed face said so.

It was neither fear nor dread, but something of a different color that was difficult.

Behind them, a fierce battle began to unfold.

Youngman swung his machete at the speed of the approaching infected.

Crunch-

The bastard’s neck fell off in one blow.

Then he threw a machete at the men following him.

A machete that flew around like a propeller pierced the face of an infected person.

A precise attack, almost like a machine.

The problem was the infected flying up, stepping on the body of the fallen guy.

Unable to overcome the speed and power of the oncoming attack, Youngman grabbed the bastard’s shoulder and rolled on the ground.

“shit!”

He sounded sorry as if he needed help, but his finances were also in dire straits.

The hammer that was driven into the head of the woman who was running madly showed no signs of coming off.

Even though a huge lump of matter was running towards him not far away, and he could crush him whole.

It was so heavy that it seemed as if the ground was shaking with every step I took.

‘What the hell is this guy Lee Beom-sik doing?’

Jae-jae, who was frantically trying to pull out the hammer, reflexively looked back.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

Behind him, Beomsik was lying on the floor, wrestling with a child wearing a tube.

The sight was so bizarre that anyone who saw it would have thought it was playing with a child.

“Oh, are you kidding me!”

The cries of finance echoed through the walls of the building.

But Beomsik lay on the floor and didn’t move.

No, I couldn’t move.

Thanks to the tube, there was some distance between them, so they were able to survive without dying.

“Why doesn’t this come off!”

Crunch!

The right hand came out in a large semicircle with the sound of the skull where the hammer had been embedded breaking.

I almost fell backwards because of the force, but I barely managed to keep my balance.

“I don’t know either.”

Jaejae, who was thinking of helping Beomsik, ran at full speed towards the large creature a few meters ahead.

When the distance between us and the big guy is getting closer.

Finance leapt into the air, stepping on the red fire hydrant erected on the pavement blocks.

He swung his hammer at the moment when Jae-jae, who had jumped higher than the giant’s head in an instant, fell.

A blow that was almost like a downward strike.

puck!

The movement of the mass ceased with a dull sound.

The problem was that in that position, he was falling down the drain.

Jae-jae quickly let go of the hammer on his head and rolled to the side.

The heavy body immediately fell to the floor.

If I had been just one step late, I would have been crushed.

At first glance, it looked like it was at least 2m tall and over 150kg, and it was so threatening that I thought it would be better to get run over by a motorcycle.

Jaejae looked around, sighing softly and sweating profusely.

Young-man was shaking his hands after smashing a block into the head of the infected person he was rolling around with.

Then he quickly examines his body.

The idea was to check if there were any places that had been bitten or scratched.

After seeing that, Jaejae also checks it in the same way.

After confirming that it was safe, the two people turned their gazes towards Beomsik.

The street had become quiet again, and the only sound that could be heard was the strange crying of the girl on top of Beomsik.

“Even if I leave that guy alone all day, he won’t die.”

Young-man said this while crossing his arms as if he was watching a fire across the river.

“Ha… Why on earth are you doing that?”

“It’s not good if the sound keeps leaking out. Let’s deal with it quickly.”

“You really are very hands-on. You always act cool all by yourself.”

Jaejae, who had been shaking his head, ran over and picked up the hammer.

But for some reason, I couldn’t put it down and just started sweating profusely.

The letters engraved on the girl’s swimsuit, visible through the tube, caught Jae-gye’s eye.

The child’s name was carefully sewn in, letter by letter.

It didn’t look like it was done by a professional.

It was most likely the girl’s parents who did it.

Why does something like that catch my eye?

No, maybe it’s natural.

Last night I experienced things that I could never have imagined.

Even though it was a monster, it had the appearance of a human.

It wasn’t easy to break their heads.

And he’s a child, too.

It was something that the average person wouldn’t even attempt.

The countless deaths of ordinary people were proof of this.

It was at that time that I frowned at the thought of my finances being brought down several times.

The young infected was kicked with a dull thud and rolled away along with the tube.

As the few laps were over and it was about to get up from its seat, the small infected stopped moving as it was attacked by Youngman who flew in without hesitation.

A chilling murderous look flashed through Young-man’s eyes as he turned around with a bitter face.

It wasn’t an easy task to have to exude that level of murderous intent.

But as always, in order to survive, difficult decisions had to be made.

That was Youngman’s life, and those were the moments for life.

Eventually, all these things will be imprinted on your head like a curse.

Just like the countless lives taken by Youngman in the past.

Now there was no room for hesitation or hesitation.

To be alive, to not be dead, means having to endure all the pain.

Beomsik, who had been lying on the floor, slowly got up.

He had a pale face and his fingertips were trembling slightly.

Jae-jae, who was about to say something, kept his mouth shut at Beom-sik’s inappropriate reaction.

Then he quickly turned around and went to pull out the hammer that was stuck in the big guy’s head.

As expected, this time too, I wasn’t chosen well.

‘Is there a problem with the direction of the blow?’

I felt a little uncomfortable with the fact that he had thought about not repeating the same mistake, rather than the fact that he had committed murder.

After much struggling, I pulled out the hammer and black brain fluid flowed out.

Because of that, Jae-jae had to turn around and vomit like crazy.

It was a bloody smell that I could never bear.

“Ugh! Ugh! I guess I should change my weapon or something, ugh… … .”

Jae-jae muttered as he wiped away the gastric juice mixed with saliva flowing down with his sleeve.

I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t eat anything, so I threw up and felt dizzy.

How long did he stand there like that?

A wind blew from somewhere.

The wind that would have been hot under the blazing sun blew coolly under the shade.

The wind swept across my sweaty chin and neck.

Jae-jae, who had come to his senses again, saw his surroundings in disarray.

Six corpses strewn all over the place.

It was the first battle with the infected since they started moving together.

“For a first time… not bad.”

It was just as Youngman said.

It wasn’t that it was bad, but it was a fighting power that deserved applause.

It was obvious that it would have been easier if Beomsik had moved properly.

“Once you’re done whining, let’s go right away.”

“Are you saying that I just threw up?”

Jae-jae was furious at Young-man’s words.

“No, I’m the most threatening kid… … .”

“I’m telling you both. One of you, don’t throw up, one of you, don’t shiver. If you’re scared, both of you hide behind me. This is it… I don’t know who’s the old man.”

Was it because Beomsik was too rigid?

Young-man passed over Beom-sik’s serious situation with a joke and walked away.

If Beomsik was a gangster among gangsters, as Jaegyeong had said, then even if he was infected, he would be able to easily deal with a child like that.

‘But the fact that he showed that kind of appearance must mean that he has an untold story.’

Young-man passed it on like that.

I thought everyone had at least one secret they wanted to hide.

It was one of the things you definitely learn as you live in the world.

Sometimes it’s better to just assume something than to dig up the truth.

But Finance had no intention of doing so.

Curiosity is unbearable.

“hey.”

Beomsik’s eyes were lifeless as he stared at Jaegye without answering.

Jae-yi’s eyes, which were about to spit out harsh words, softened slightly.

“what’s the matter?”

When Beomsik didn’t answer, Jaejae opened his mouth again in a tone full of annoyance.

“Why are you looking at me with those rotten fish eyes? Answer me.”

“I see… I’m sorry.”

“…what?”

The sudden apology made Finance stop in its tracks.

Young-man’s eyes, looking back with his tongue clicking, were criticizing Jae-jae.

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

“Ah… this isn’t it.”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been through one battle.

Although they were still nervous, all three were somewhat absorbed in the current atmosphere of having overcome the crisis.

The bigger the challenge you experience in an unfamiliar environment, the greater the sense of accomplishment you get when you overcome it.

As Young-man watched Jae-jae, absorbed in such emotions, his younger comrades who had survived the first battle and were excited passed by.

It’s probably something similar.

When I first thought of those who had passed away, the bitterness of time came to the tip of my tongue.

Not long after, the group reached a hillside.

“Even if it’s the city center, if you go a little bit outside, you’ll come across a quiet road like this. If you lower your body a little bit against the trees lining both sides, you won’t be able to see the buildings, which is nice.”

“No, but who knew about this road and built a repair shop? It seems like no one will come here.”

He grumbled as he looked up at the steep slope of his finances.

“Still, people will come. There are hundreds of veterans and their families.”

“however…….”

Beomsik, who had been walking with a blank expression, spoke carefully.

At that sight, Jaejae and Yeongman both waited quietly for the next words.

“If, as the inspiration says, the whole world is like this… what should we do then?”

A heavy silence fell between the three of them.

If the whole world really was like this, not only would the problem become more serious, but the survival of humanity itself would be threatened.

It’s not just about someone dying, it’s about someone approaching extinction.

As time went on, everyone felt it.

That something is wrong.

Absence of public authority and invisible survivors.

The situation was more serious than expected.

“…I have to live.”

Finance spoke softly.

The voice was small, but the eyes were clear.

“Even if the whole world is like this, or if we are the only ones left in the world, if we are alive, we must live to the end.”
