Infected - Chapter 34



Only Noblemtl

Episode 33

Finance carried Anna.

My sagging body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, but there was no other way.

There was no one who could carry Anna on her back.

The rest of the people took charge of the carts.

As I walked past the corpses of the infected strewn across the hallway floor as if crossing stepping stones, traces of shopping were scattered everywhere.

“Inspiration, what’s wrong?”

Beomsik asked Youngman, who kept looking back.

“I keep thinking about it.”

“what?”

“The dead people inside… … .”

“Why those people?”

“I keep thinking that I could have saved you.”

Beomsik’s face, looking at Yeongman, was filled with curiosity.

“That’s unexpected.”

“what?”

“A man who has lived his entire life on the battlefield is regretting not being able to save a person he had no connection with.”

“Isn’t that okay?”

Young-man asked, roughly biting into the sausage he took out of the cart, as if he was hungry.

Then Beomsik also took one out and put it in his mouth.

“It’s not that it doesn’t work, it’s just that it feels that way. What should I say about this… … .”

“I know, I know what you’re talking about. Why would a person who has lived a life of slaughtering countless people suddenly say something so incongruous?”

“I know right.”

Beomsik answered while chewing on a hard sausage.

“There are people who kill people hundreds or thousands of times and treat life lightly, while there are also cases where it’s the opposite. People always come up with different opinions even when experiencing the same thing. Let’s just say it varies from person to person. Oh, and they weren’t enemies. They were allies.”

“That’s not wrong.”

“But is this food supposed to be eaten cold like this?”

Young-man grumbled while chewing on a sausage that was as tough as gum.

Meanwhile, Chae-min, who was pulling the cart at the front, discovered a door that had been completely torn off from a distance.

It seemed like the infected were pouring out through that door.

When Chaemin saw her dirty clothes, she suddenly remembered when she left home a few days ago.

Neatly ironed shirts lined up in the closet.

Looking back, it was a day when I particularly wanted to wear a white shirt.

Chae-min’s mother added to the words as she left the house wearing a white shirt for the first time in a long time.

As expected, our son looks best in a white shirt.

The face of the mother who raised two sons alone was crushed by the cruel weight of time.

Chaemin took out the smartphone he had been keeping in his pocket.

When I turned on the LCD, I saw my mother, my younger brother, and myself smiling brightly.

Communication was still not working, and there was no way to know whether his family was alive or dead.

It was hopeless.

“are you okay?”

Looking to the side, I saw Hyun-soo, who had been struggling with me, pushing the cart and asking with concern.

Hyunsoo’s gaze was directed towards Chaemin’s hand.

Only then did Chaemin discover that her fingers were trembling against her will.

The spot where the nail had fallen off was a patch of blood and tie that had hardened into one.

It hurt so much.

But I had even forgotten that I was sick.

When I look at Hyunsoo, I think of my younger brother.

He looked younger than his younger brother.

But somehow, the bright appearance resembled something else.

“Yes, that’s okay. But how old are you?”

“I’m twenty-five. What about you, brother?”

“Eight.”

He just so happened to be the same age as my younger brother.

“Just talk comfortably, bro.”

“Okay, I will.”

Even the smiling face was similar.

It was especially true that the laughter spread mainly through the eyes.

I felt something hot twisting inside my chest.

They were family members I could call at any time with the push of a button and see every day.

But now I couldn’t even send a text message, let alone make a phone call.

I looked around.

Everyone who survived will probably think the same thing.

There’s probably at least one person who’s worried, even if they don’t show it.

Even if they aren’t necessarily family.

And that guy named Jae-jae.

Chaemin finds it difficult to even take care of her own body, but that person was carrying an unconscious person.

As I watched him silently carry Anna, who was drooping, I felt like I was starting to feel a sense of admiration that I never had before.

In fact, Chae Min had never been defeated in terms of physical strength.

He was tall and had broad shoulders.

But the finances were different.

He was a person who could not be compared to ordinary people, from every bone to every flesh.

okay…….

That guy probably has a family too.

As soon as the thought reached this point, my fingers, which had been trembling like an aspen tree, began to find some stability.

Anyway, I’m alive, so that’s all.

If everything outside looked like this, just being alive was a blessing.

I was lucky to meet these people.

It certainly was.

Chaemin couldn’t even figure out what was going on at the time.

I had accessed a lot of information on YouTube before the communication was cut off, but I couldn’t believe it.

Because each person’s words were different.

And who can accept and overcome this situation in an instant?

A person turns into a monster and starts biting and tearing open the stomach of a living person without warning… … .

It was fortunate that he didn’t go crazy.

But they destroyed the infected without hesitation, as if they were prepared people.

We contacted the military unit via transceiver and even found out that there was a safe zone within Seoul.

To be honest, I wanted to get closer, but it wasn’t easy.

They all had the same impression, and they didn’t really talk to each other unless they were in a crisis.

So the finances looked even more impressive.

The ordinary man who exuded cold air and the extraordinary old man waited only for Jae-ui’s opinion at every moment.

It certainly was.

Are you family?

I don’t think so… … .

Meanwhile, finances were in dire straits.

I walked away in silence without saying a word because I didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Because I felt like Anna would let me go if I said anything or even sighed.

Oh my god, really!

It’s so dirty and heavy.

As I finally turned the corner, a flat, uphill road opened up, suitable for wheelchairs and carts, as expected from a large hospital.

Drool flowed from the mouth holding the flashlight.

“after…….”

This is fucking crazy.

The curse rose to the tip of my tongue.

But now was not the time to ask someone to carry me for me, and it wasn’t the time for that either.

This is because the groans of the group pushing the cart from behind could be heard for some time.

In fact, finances were not that type of thing.

The atmosphere became like this by chance, and the problem was that in the process of persuading that damn Lee Beom-sik, he said things like, “Follow me.”

Even Young-man, who felt that kind of atmosphere, naturally only looked at the finances when a crisis occurred, so the burden doubled.

When I think about it, I realize that I was the one doing all the hard work.

It was the same when I grabbed Anna and held onto the rope.

No, aside from that, it was like that from the beginning when they all took turns fighting the infected and smashed their heads without a single break.

After a while, my arm stopped listening to me.

If you keep doing things in the worst possible situation that you would not be able to do even if you rested and ate well, it is only natural that your body would not be able to handle it.

But it was driving me crazy because they kept asking me if I didn’t know what other people were thinking and if I didn’t have any good ideas, and telling me to do something about it.

I don’t even remember how I survived, but I was carrying a person on my back while on the verge of exhaustion.

It’s natural to feel angry.

Besides, the carrying position is so uncomfortable.

If it were a man, he could comfortably hold onto her buttocks, but since she was a woman, he could only barely hold onto her thighs.

It’s a situation where you could easily be misunderstood if you move your hand in the wrong way.

Wait, aren’t you awake?

From some point on, I began to feel my breathing more and more clearly.

“hey.”

Finance muttered as if talking to himself.

As expected, there was no answer.

“Are you okay now?”

Even as he spoke, heavy breathing continued to pour out of Jae-jae’s nose and mouth.

Anna didn’t respond at all.

It seemed like he wasn’t awake yet.

I had some hope.

As soon as I went up to the lobby on the first floor, I sat down on a chair and leaned Anna against the back to rest.

If I just let go of the strength in my arms for a moment, it was like heaven.

I looked outside, shaking off the cold sweat that was running down my face.

The faint sound of rain became louder.

Outside, it was pouring rain, not just a shower.

A cool breeze swept across my sweaty face.

“after…….”

No one has climbed on the cart yet, as it is quite heavy.

If I didn’t rest for a little while like this, I wouldn’t be able to go to the annex.

I closed my eyes quietly.

You’ll notice the zombie cubs right away because they make noise when they appear.

For now, I just wanted to rest and relax.

That doesn’t mean he completely let Anna go.

We were sitting on the chair together, half-carrying each other.

Even if I lose my balance just a little, my head starts to sway from side to side, so I’m definitely not awake.

Suddenly, I started laughing.

I found myself laughing as I carried the unconscious person on my back and told him to please wake up.

Of all people, I’m talking about someone who was hit by a monster’s hand and thrown several meters away before being crushed.

As I was thinking like this, it seemed like life had become more bearable thanks to the short break.

As I watched the raindrops pouring down through the shattered glass, I couldn’t believe where I was.

The bloodstains and stench everywhere made me feel like I was sitting in an abandoned house.

How much time has passed like that?

Beomsik was the first to pull up the cart, groaning.

You could tell how heavy it was just by looking at the amount of canned goods and necessities inside.

He was a bad guy.

Of course, Youngman was behind him.

Beomsik pushed the cart aside and took a deep breath.

The blood and sweat on his face mixed together, making him look like he was dripping blood.

“Oh, shit. This is fucking hard.”

Eventually, the swearing started.

“What? Why are you sitting?”

“I waited, why?”

Finance answered curtly.

“Oh, okay. I don’t have the strength to respond. Let’s hurry up and go. If I run into that piglet again, I don’t think I’ll be able to pick up the bones.”

After that, Young-man, Chae-min, and Hyeon-su arrived at the lobby one after another.

“How are you doing? It’s raining so much.”

Hyunsoo looked at the things in the cart and spoke worriedly.

Then he waved his hand as if the finances were nothing special.

“That’s good. Thanks to the sound of the rain, you won’t hear the cart being pulled. I wanted to wash anyway, so that’s good. Let’s go.”

“Hahaha!”

That was when.

Suddenly, Young-man burst into laughter.

Beomsik frowned, surprised by the unfamiliar sight.

“What the heck? Why is this old man acting like this all of a sudden? Are you crazy?”

“No, no, wait a minute.”

Youngman sat there and laughed for a long time.

Then, he calmed down his expression and said,

“It’s funny. It’s been raining since we first got here, but we packed everything from clothes to towels without thinking. I even packed underwear and socks. What the hell. Where are you going to dry this? We’ll have to leave right away if we change.”

When I heard it, it was true.

No one thought it was raining outside.

Even in the park in the middle of the underground, it was raining.

Hyunsoo and Chaemin also laughed.

It was more of a hollow laugh than a hearty laugh.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I remembered the sight of her excitedly packing up her things to wear.

Beomsik, who usually exuded a cold air, also raised the corners of his lips.

But I felt it was a waste to just throw it away.

I’m not going to wear it right now.

After some time, the finances came out first.

A thick stream of rain quickly soaked my hair and clothes, then flowed down to my heels.

The same was true for Anna, who was being carried on his back.

Is it because of the empty laughter?

Or is it the joy of survival?

The faces of the group pulling carts across the hospital grounds were bright.

Anyway, I did it.

Whether my clothes got wet or not, all that was left was to go to the annex, eat some delicious food, wash up, and get some sleep.

I wanted to worry about tomorrow tomorrow.
