Infected - Chapter 41
Only Noblemtl
Episode 40
Finances came to a halt.
The man’s voice sounded unfamiliar than ever before.
Finance raised both arms and slowly turned around.
The man’s eyes were filled with coldness.
It seemed as if he would shoot at any sign of resistance or defiance.
The air became heavier and time slowed down.
A sense of anxiety that bullets might fly at any moment weighed on the group.
Did I smell fear?
The corners of the man’s mouth went up in a mean manner, then he soon showed a satisfied expression.
Everyone was just watching to see if there was any way out.
“Is this your first time seeing something like this?”
The man twisted the gold-plated pistol from side to side.
Every time it turned, the plated parts sparkled in the sunlight.
“Wow, a pistol?”
Finance nodded as if to please him.
Then suddenly he moved forward.
It looked like he was going to pull the trigger at any moment, but I judged that he wouldn’t.
If I was going to kill you, I would have shot you from the beginning.
Going in this direction clearly meant that there was something they wanted.
Finance approached the gun barrel like a madman.
“Can I touch it once?”
“I told you to stop moving.”
The man, surprised by the unexpected action, quickly backed away and made a threat.
“Why are you so surprised? You’re the one holding the gun. No, it’s not that I don’t know much about guns… … .”
“If you say one more word, I’ll rip a hole in your mouth. Back off.”
Finance pursed his lips.
As a result, the situation got worse.
Next to him, Young-man shook his head with a face that said he couldn’t understand.
Youngman knew better than anyone else the dangers and lethality of guns.
That’s why I wasn’t saying a word.
Because provoking a man with a weapon is crazy.
They began to make the group kneel one by one.
Hyunsoo, Minyoung, and Anna knelt down one after another, but Beomsik still did not listen.
Even when a gun was pointed at him, he didn’t even blink an eye.
Rather, he was glaring as if he was going to kill me.
With a face that said he didn’t care if he died soon.
Eventually, he got kicked in the groin and collapsed on the floor.
But he never took his eyes off the guy who had kicked him.
At that moment, Jaejae, who was stepping back, took advantage of the chaotic atmosphere and muttered something into Youngman’s ear.
Young-man’s eyebrows furrowed, and then he suddenly spoke to the man.
“Have you ever fired a gun?”
“I clearly told you to keep your mouth shut… … .”
“In Africa, yes, it was great.”
Young-man nodded slowly.
Then she looked into the man’s eyes.
The timing to shoot has passed.
A real shooter wouldn’t hesitate like that.
At least that’s what Youngman knew.
If that’s the case, they wouldn’t just shoot without warning unless someone did something particularly threatening.
They didn’t seem to have stayed at the dock for long in the first place.
And he didn’t seem stupid enough to emotionally shoot a gun in a situation where the infected were swarming just by turning his head.
Youngman continued speaking.
“It’s still vivid as if it happened yesterday. It was a conflict zone with a civil war going on. But it didn’t matter. After all, I was a mercenary employed by a private company, and all I had to do was carry out the missions I was asked to do. It didn’t matter to me whether anyone was in danger or died.”
The man looked at his colleagues with a puzzled expression.
Everyone was looking at Young-man like he was a half-crazy lunatic.
“It was a hellish day. It was so hot that I didn’t even realize my skin was turning red. As I was passing through the operation area, I suddenly heard a squeaky noise. The noise got louder and louder, and I knew it the moment I felt a heat inside the vehicle that I had never felt before. What was that sound? It was… a grenade.”
The man, who seemed to be listening seriously, looked around at his colleagues once again.
Everyone stood there blankly looking at each other.
How much time has passed like that?
Phew!
As the man burst into laughter, his colleagues also began to laugh like crazy, as if they had made a promise.
The giggling man’s face was turning red as if he was about to collapse.
Then, in an instant, his expression changed.
He came up to Youngman’s nose in one step and put a gun to his head.
It was a face from which all smiles had disappeared.
“Are you kidding me? Do you think I’m here to listen to old people’s stories?”
“But that story is true.”
Finances got involved.
“You, you son of a bitch!”
The excited man brought the gun to the finance’s nose.
Thanks to that, the distance has become shorter.
The tip of the gun was just about to touch Jae-gye’s nose.
Right then!
Bam! Ta-tat! Clang!
The man’s eyes widened.
1 second?
no.
Maybe it could have been shorter.
The pistol that had been in the man’s hand was now in Jaeyi’s hand.
All I remember is that something hit my hand and the gun changed hands.
That was it.
It happened so quickly.
The man swallowed dry saliva like a mute who had eaten honey.
Young-man, who was looking at such finances, nodded.
You learned it well.
‘I’m going to steal it. Help me.’
If it were just those words, Young-man would not have done anything.
If we move carelessly, it could put everyone in danger.
But Finance gave a short gesture along with the words.
A technique that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, but can be noticed by the spirits.
It was a technique to snatch a pistol right away.
Finance was from the special forces.
There are many special forces in South Korea, but I finished my active service in a unit created for counter-terrorism.
Due to the nature of counter-terrorism, there was a lot of training for urban warfare and fighting inside narrow buildings.
In particular, bayonet and dagger techniques for close combat, as well as hand-to-hand combat, were prevalent.
The man was swinging a fish in front of a cat.
Of course, Young-man could have done it too, but he couldn’t gamble because he had to protect his daughter.
“Is this your first time seeing something like this?”
Finance borrowed the man’s words.
The atmosphere completely changed with just one attack.
Moreover, the man’s face looked completely overwhelmed.
The subordinates also stood there blankly, trying to adapt to the changed atmosphere.
Jaejae, who was looking at them like that, said with a relaxed expression.
“You know what to do.”
The muzzle of the gun is pointed at the floor.
Without saying a word, everyone knelt on the floor.
Still looking dumbfounded.
Among them, a man’s face turning red and blue caught my eye.
It seemed like he was angry.
That was when.
“hey.”
Step, step! Step, step!
Beomsik approached them as they knelt down.
It was a sense of oppression that could put a wedge in the chaotic atmosphere.
Beomsik usually just looks cold, but he was different when he got angry.
When I look into those eyes… … .
All the men gasped.
Beomsik walked without hesitation as if he had already decided on a target.
And then he grabbed someone by the chin and lifted them up.
It was tight.
A tight-fisted person who kicks his own shins.
Now the tough guy had sad eyes like a child standing in front of a scary adult.
It was a look in his eyes that would make even a deer cry.
“Please save me!”
Beomsik, who had been pulling Ppakkaki’s chin, stopped.
He smiled faintly for a moment, then spoke in a more subdued voice than before.
“So you guys don’t know me. But what can I do? I feel better when I get rid of any Chinese or Japanese bastard who messes with me.”
Beomsik dragged Ppaekpagi to a large yacht.
Unintelligible Chinese continued to be heard, but there was no one who could help Ppakkagi.
The two went into the yacht and did not come out for a while.
All you can hear is the occasional sound of something falling and breaking.
“Can I leave it like that?”
Minyoung asked with a worried tone.
“He’s not the kind of person who can be stopped, so why kill him? Well, there’s nothing I can do about him if he dies.”
“yes?”
Min-yeong’s eyes grew wide at Jae-yi’s nagging.
“It’ll be okay. They’re the ones who tried to kill us, so we can’t just let them go, right?”
“That’s… … .”
“by the way.”
Jae-jae lowered his gun and slowly approached the kneeling man.
For an ordinary person, it would be frightening to feel the pressure of a rock rolling down the road.
The man instead looked at the finances.
Finance intuitively felt that this was no ordinary guy.
If there were Chinese people among the subordinates and they were carrying homemade firearms that were not allowed to be brought into the country, there was only one answer.
Of course it would be a criminal organization.
If Beomsik and I are not acquainted with each other, then those who are active in Korea are even more unlikely to be.
And on top of that, he even impersonated a government official.
As my thoughts reached that point, I became even more curious about their purpose.
“hey.”
The man clenched his teeth at the words of the finances.
“Don’t hit me. The doctor told me not to kill him.”
“so?”
“What is your identity?”
“What are you going to do with something like that when you just pass by?”
The man furrowed his brow.
“I should know something since I’m a police officer.”
“Go drink some more breast milk.”
The man suddenly started swearing in Chinese and smiled bitterly at Jaejae.
At this, Young-man, who was standing next to him, wrinkled his face as if he felt sorry.
The man chose the wrong opponent.
To survive for a long time, you either have to be absolutely strong or at least quick-witted, but as far as Youngman could see, this man was neither of those two.
Usually in such cases… … .
puck!
Spit burst out of the mouth of the man who had been laughing.
His lungs snapped open, his eyes turning red.
Before he knew it, the tip of Jae-jae’s toe was stuck in his temple.
But the man did not give in.
“Look at that car again! I’ll scream like crazy and gather all the zombie babies here… … .”
Thud! Thud!
“Ugh!”
After being hit three times in the same vital spot, the man’s eyes began to fill with fear.
My breath was ragged and my vision was turning yellow.
“What kind of police… are they… knocking people over… knock! knock!”
“I’m a little different from other police officers. I’m no less, if not more, than the most feared police officers in the mainland. And I can speak Chinese, you brat. At least swear.”
Finance has stepped in once again.
The man instinctively crouched down, covering his stomach.
The confident look disappeared, leaving only a mean fear.
The fight was over.
“Shall we talk now?”
The man quickly admitted defeat.
He nodded, sat up, and let out a long sigh.
Young-man, who had been watching, nodded.
Although he had to be hit to realize it, it seemed he wasn’t so clueless that he would die.
So I guess I’m still alive.
“I do pharmacist work. In China, the risk is high, so I take the goods and sell them in Korea.”
“Whether you’re selling drugs or people, the world is in such a mess that I don’t really care. What I’m wondering is why you’re here doing this.”
“Our money bag is here.”
The man surprisingly spit it out smoothly.
“A bag of money?”
“excuse me.”
The place he was pointing to was a warehouse next to the wharf where he had gone to get iron plates to be placed on the bridge that had broken off earlier.
The man continued speaking, looking at the tightly closed warehouse door.
“I have a bag with medicine and money in it, and the guy who had it is inside.”
“Can’t you explain it easily? This kid again.”
“No. That’s not it. I just don’t know where to start.”
The man waved his hands in disgust.
“Say it simply. Brother, you’re stupid.”
“There are a bunch of zombies in the warehouse. But that idiot went into the warehouse without being careful… Anyway, I needed someone to bring that bag. I couldn’t just leave it there, so I was getting confused and that’s when you showed up.”
“Do you think that makes sense? In these times, what’s important, money, medicine, etc., that you risk your life for a bag? Ha, that won’t do. You should go on a yacht too.”
“Oh, really! That’s not our country’s money. It’s comfort money, comfort money! I was just going to take that and go back to China.”
“China? Why are you going back to China?”
“That’s because of those zombie babies.”
Finance, which had been grabbing the man by the back of his neck, stopped.
Something was strange.
It didn’t matter that the money in the bag was comforting.
The important thing was the idea of packing that bag and going to China in the current situation.
Oh, you don’t know yet.
The fact that no one can escape the Korean Peninsula.
Finance asked.
“How are you going to China?”
“There is a boat you can take.”
The man was sincere.
