Infected - Chapter 42



Only Noblemtl

Episode 41

“How long has it been since you came over from China?”

“It’s probably been about a week.”

The man counted the days.

“Is there anyone who passed by in the meantime? Is there anyone who can be contacted or confirmed?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Yeah. Well, you guys figure that out.”

Now I understand.

The man was completely unaware of the current international situation.

It was a natural thing.

Because no one would have told you.

Okay.

Now my curiosity has been satisfied.

There wasn’t really any reason or purpose that was particularly stimulating.

They just needed a scapegoat for their money and drugs.

Even if there were actually ships, it would be even more absurd to go with these guys.

According to Captain Kang, it will explode before it even sees land.

“There’s nothing more to see, so let’s go now.”

Young-man spoke in a whisper.

He too seemed to think it was a trivial story.

What about these guys?

Finance looked down on the men and their subordinates.

I don’t really plan on doing anything, but I feel uneasy about letting it go like this.

From a distance, a tall fence was visible around Yeouido.

It was a safe zone.

Although no one was visible because of the fence, their sturdy appearance made my heart race.

I had to hurry and go.

“What is your name?”

Jae-jae squatted down and asked the man, looking at him with his eyes level.

“This is Lee Gong-du.”

“Gongdu? That’s a cute name.”

“excuse me…….”

Gongdu’s eyes trembled anxiously.

“say.”

“It may be a little late, but please spare me. Even though I have done many bad things, my younger siblings are not like that. If you send me my younger siblings, I will do whatever you say.”

Jae-ui’s eyebrows twitched.

Looking at the guys who were called younger siblings behind me, they were natural born villains who could stand up to anyone.

Wherever you look, it’s the same vegetables and rice. What is it?

Even though he was an older brother, he asked his younger brothers to spare their lives, but somehow none of the younger brothers asked for their older brother to be spared as well.

Anyway, that’s what you guys are like.

“Nobody said they would kill you.”

At the end of the finances, they all looked up.

The reaction is more intense than expected.

“Is the concept of killing people normal and easy? I don’t know what you think and live by, but we’re not that kind of people. Of course, it would be different if they were trying to kill us.”

“thank you.”

He bowed his head as if his forehead was about to touch the floor.

Then, the younger siblings behind him also bowed their heads without saying a word.

I’ve seen it somewhere.

“What? You’re just going to let me go?”

Beomsik’s voice can be heard from not far away.

The eyes of the men who had been bowing their heads at that sound all shook.

Everyone swallowed dry saliva at the sight of the stern man being dragged in with his face covered in blood and a blue yoke.

He had his hands clasped together tightly, and his appearance was incomparably more polite than before.

Beomsik roughly hit the back of Pakpagi’s head.

“This kid speaks Korean well. Hey, you speak Korean.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Is your pronunciation good? Try something else.”

“I was wrong.”

“Why did you swear in Chinese earlier?”

“I won’t do it again.”

“Never again? Today is the last day, never again!”

Beomsik kicked the squirrel into the water.

with a plop!

The man who fell into the water struggled for a while and then barely managed to hang on to the wooden bridge.

It seemed like he couldn’t swim.

“Please, spare me! I won’t do it again. I’ll live a good life. Please!”

He was talking like crazy, wondering if he had drunk any water.

But the common sense was just beginning.

He approached her and pressed down on the hand that was precariously holding her leg.

Tears flowed from the eyes of the one-armed punk.

“Stop it!”

Jaejae, who had been watching, sighed and shook his head, but a sharp voice pierced his ears.

It was Minyoung.

He glared at Beomsik with a face full of anger.

“what?”

“If you’re going to kill, just kill. What the hell are you doing? What’s the difference between you and these people?”

“This is ridiculous.”

Beomsik turned his head.

It had the characteristic gangster-like slovenliness to it.

He was about to say something with a stiff face, but then he looked at Youngman.

And then he let out a hollow laugh.

“We almost died. We almost got shot and killed by these guys. Or we might have ended up as zombie food while trying to save the bag of money. But you want me to stop?”

“Anyway, I’m alive now!”

“Yes, I’m alive. But who do you think I’m alive thanks to? It’s definitely not thanks to you. You’re not the one who turned the tables by risking your life. So don’t tell me what to do. The more you do that, the harder it is for me to endure.”

While the two were arguing, the gap left was left with the tight-fitting leg half-slung over him, exhausted.

His face was drooling, indicating that he had drunk quite a bit of water.

Anyway, the finances were promised.

He said he would save me.

No, I won’t kill you.

“Let’s just let it go.”

“Why again?”

Beomsik’s eyebrows were crumpled like a piece of paper.

This is the second time.

Finance is blocking Beomsik’s thoughts in front of everyone.

“You’re not the kind of person who would kill someone.”

“I’m not saying I’ll kill you. If I leave you like this, you know what I’ll do next. Can you guarantee we won’t meet again?”

There was some truth to what Beomsik said.

Finance looked down on the ball.

Gongdu, who felt his thoughts wavering, shook his head desperately.

“No. If you let me live, I’ll get out of here right away. From now on, I’ll pretend not to see you and won’t even breathe. Our ship is in Incheon, so if we get to Incheon, we’ll quietly disappear to China. Then we won’t have to meet again.”

“Did you hear that?”

“Do you believe that?”

Beomsik asked back as if it was absurd.

In fact, it was quite absurd.

Wasn’t he the guy who resisted by swearing in Chinese when he first had his gun taken away by Jae-jae?

I really didn’t like the way that guy suddenly changed his stance and started begging for his life.

It’s also strange.

“And now to China… … .”

“Okay, so what do you want to do then?”

Jae-jae cut Beom-sik off and asked.

“I heard there are zombies running around in that warehouse. Let’s open the door and drive them in. If you have the ability, you’ll survive. If you don’t have that ability, you’ll die no matter where you go.”

“Just a moment.”

Gongdu joined the conversation.

“I’ll give you some information that might be helpful.”

“Information? Hmm, let’s hear it first.”

Finance waited for an answer with his arms folded.

The rest of the group also have curious expressions.

Beomsik narrowed his eyes, looking around to see what was going on.

“Yeouido. I can’t go.”

“what?”

The eyes of finance wavered.

The group also doubted their own ears.

“There is no oil on the boat.”

“What is that… … .”

Before the answer could even be finished, Young-man, who had run as fast as me, jumped onto the yacht.

For Youngman, the yacht was not simply a means of transportation to safety.

To Youngman, the boat was more than that.

He was the guide to utopia, where Min-yeong would no longer have to endure hardships in a safe place.

But there is no oil.

After the yacht, I checked the boat as well without fail.

It really was.

There wasn’t a single drop of oil left.

Black marks fell around the oil tank.

There was evidence that someone had pumped out the oil.

If we couldn’t cross the river here, there was no way out.

Going back out onto the streets would have been suicidal.

Just getting here was more than 90% luck on my side.

Yet there were unexpected sacrifices, and there was little time to mourn.

That was just luck on my side.

Youngman has lived in the world for a long time.

I knew full well that I would never be so lucky again.

Deep wrinkles continued, winding like valleys.

Anyway, I had to tell the group.

“Really. There’s not a single drop of oil left.”

Finance’s eyebrows were crumpled like a piece of paper.

No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t there.

It’s not like it’s winter, and there’s no reason to drain all the oil in the boat.

“How did you know?”

“Wouldn’t we have thought of crossing by boat? That’s why we came here in the first place. What the hell. I don’t know what kind of crazy bastards they are. Why would they need oil?”

Gongdudo had the same mindset as Jaejae.

At that moment, something flashed through Jae-Yeong’s mind.

Oil… … .

Wait, there are people who need oil.

Suddenly I looked at Beomsik.

“Captain Kang said that. We’re running low on fuel. We don’t even have the manpower to go get fuel. Do you remember?”

“No way… even the oil in the boat?”

“Couldn’t that be possible if it’s not enough?”

“There are several gas stations in Yeouido. I only know five.”

Beomsik waved his hand.

Then Anna, who had been listening carefully, gave her opinion.

“What if you’re stockpiling it?”

“reserve?”

“Summer is almost over. It’s going to get colder and colder.”

“ah…….”

A sigh escaped Jae-yi’s lips.

The rest of the group was the same.

Yeah, it was possible for that reason.

If you come by boat, you can safely get the oil on the water without having to deal with infected people.

If this is true.

What this ultimately means is a prolongation of the situation.

The problem was that there was no immediate solution.

It meant that I had to go into hiding and begin an uncomfortable cohabitation with those dirty monsters.

“perhaps…….”

Young-man stroked his chin.

“We might be preparing a counterattack.”

“This late?”

Finance asked.

“That’s possible. If you’ve lost most of your regular army, but still have the minimum supplies and troops left to launch a counterattack, fuel is absolutely essential. Think about it. Shouldn’t you gather all the supplies scattered across the country in one place? If I were the commander, I’d gather them at the sea. It’s safe. And then you’d launch an amphibious landing at a certain point.”

“That could be true. Well, nothing is certain. But what’s more important than that right now is that there’s no way to get to Yeouido right now… The bridge is broken, and the boat is out of fuel… … .”

Everyone was speechless, like a mute who had eaten honey.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way.

The land bridge was broken and the boats had no fuel.

I couldn’t even swim across.

What should I do?

Jae-yi, who was deep in thought, recalled the radio conversation with Captain Kang.

Those were the coordinates.

The words that had been swirling around in my head appeared like a light.

“Where did you say the coordinates were?”

“Coordinates?”

Young-man asked back.

“These are the coordinates that Captain Kang mentioned. He told me to come to the location he told me to.”

“Broadcasting station?”

“Yes, the broadcasting station. Let’s go there. That’s the only way.”

“How are you going to get there? It’s not a distance you can walk.”

Anna asked worriedly.

As the group became troubled again, Gongdu, who had been listening on his knees, intervened.

“I… I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I think it would be faster to find another way.”

“why?”

Finance asked.

“I don’t know where you’re from, but no matter where you go, there won’t be a place with more zombies than around the broadcasting station. That place is… hell.”

“How can I believe what you say?”

Beomsik glared at him and asked.

“It’s true. I’m saying this because I want to help. I can’t go to the broadcasting station. You all saw that, right?”

Gongdu’s subordinates nodded.

“This kid, you’re a strange kid. Do you really want to help us?”

“If there’s anything I can help you with.”

“Then tell me how to get there. If you’re going to say no, just keep your mouth shut. Tell me. Is there no way?”

Beomsik, who was crouching down, roughly grabbed Gongdu’s chin and said.

“Taking people there is like pushing them to their deaths.”

“Oh? That’s good. We have to go no matter what, and you want us to save you? You take the lead. I’ll send you when we get to the broadcasting station.”

“No, there is no need for that.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Hyunsoo.

It seemed like he had a good idea.
