Episode 476

Kay stood up and shook off her body, speaking with a sigh in her voice.

“When you left for Gangbuk, I went to northern Gyeonggi to deliver a letter. The boss was the one who ordered me to do that.”

“Then what did you come with?”

“Oh, that’s a bit complicated… … .”

“You’d better speak quickly.”

Jay muttered, twisting the blade back and forth.

If he saw even the slightest hint of a lie, he would rush in immediately.

Kay had to be careful.

If I had just told Yeonhee, Hanshin, and Yukyung about how I met them, I couldn’t know what kind of unexpected situation would arise.

This is because each and every member was destroying the ‘balance’ that the CEO was pursuing.

First, Kay gave in to Yeonhee’s threats.

Although there were many things he covered up by saying he didn’t know, it is an undeniable fact that he leaked a lot of information.

It was a neglect of the duty to keep one’s mouth shut even at the risk of death.

The second is the process by which Yoo Kyung and Han Shin joined together.

Not only did he forget his duty and kill the men in the factory, he also intervened in the process of killing the believers.

If this fact becomes known to the anonymous church, matters could become complicated.

In other words, Kay was essentially abandoning his duties as a member of the group.

That doesn’t mean I followed Yeonhee without thinking.

A complex situation where Raon and the Nameless Church began to interfere with the neutral zone, and a new faction called the Vaccine Center was born.

Under the president’s instructions, several deliverymen were leaking information favorable to Laon and Nambu Terminal, but it was only a matter of time before the nameless sect overwhelmed them.

So Kay chose Yeonhee.

He could have gotten away with it by telling a few lies, but he didn’t.

There is only one reason.

This is because the CEO judged that the ‘balance’ he was pursuing could no longer be sustained.

Of course, I didn’t mean to betray you.

Given the way things were going, I just assumed that the boss would think that way too.

After meeting An Jeong-hu at the archery range, Yeon-hee became a symbolic person to Kay.

Following her ultimately means helping the group at the vaccine center.

So, I had a lot of worries while staying at the archery range.

Because it was the last chance to make a few excuses and run away.

In conclusion, Kay did not leave Yeonhee and accompanied her to Seoul on her own feet.

Something that is already irreversible.

But I couldn’t tell Jay everything.

The problem was her loyalty to her boss, which was frighteningly submissive.

Kay said, her mind made up.

“Yeonhee was close to the recipient of the letter. We met in that area. As we talked, I found out that she had a connection with the survivors at the vaccine center. Plus, my sister happened to be going there, so we ended up going together. It was a good thing for me. It gave me a chance to learn more about those people.”

“Then what about the rest?”

“That had nothing to do with my intentions. There was a fight between survivors near Uijeongbu, and that older sister saved two people. I’m telling you clearly, I didn’t intervene at all.”

“Does that make sense?”

“Why doesn’t that make sense?”

Jay looked at Kay in silence for a while.

Then he nodded slightly and moved on to the next question.

“… Since I didn’t see it myself, I’ll believe you for now. Now, how are we going to get out of this?”

“What now?”

“You said so. The boss said he knew. You said you met those people on your way to deliver the letter. And you came straight here. Is that right?”

“okay.”

“But how does the boss know about your situation right now?”

“That’s what I wanted to discuss.”

“Consultation? This kid is going to talk again soon… … .”

“No. You should listen to my story and then get angry. Why is the child like that?”

“What did you add to my annoying personality?”

“Okay, anyway, a delivery man I had never seen before approached me.”

“First time seeing a delivery person?”

“Oh. It was definitely a face I saw for the first time. He asked me why I wasn’t going alone but with someone else. Like you. So I explained it as it was.”

Of course it’s a lie.

Kay had never met anyone like that in all the time she had been with Yeonhee.

But for now, this method was the best.

“But you didn’t get angry like me and just went back without saying anything?”

“uh.”

“Are you asking me to believe that now?”

“There’s one more.”

Kay took a step forward and continued speaking with an active expression.

“None of us have ever left Seoul. That doesn’t mean we’ve never had to go far. Of the things I know of that the anonymous church requested, there are many. But the boss refused every time. Right?”

“That’s right.”

“But this time, you gave permission right away. What is the reason?”

“Why are you asking me that?”

“I took this as a message from the boss.”

Jay’s brow furrowed uncomfortably at the words that were difficult to understand at first glance.

“Think about it. It was a request you had never received before. But you accepted it right away. And it was from a force you had never seen before. The boss had already made his choice. To help these people. If he hadn’t, wouldn’t that courier have attacked me like you said? Why would he have backed down without saying anything? In the end, the boss was fully aware of this situation.”

“Have you… forgotten why you and the boss are doing this?”

“I know. I know, but we don’t necessarily have to do it ourselves. If there are people with the right reason and qualifications, we can help them out, right? After all, what the boss wants is not to become king, but for everyone to live safely.”

Jay was deep in thought.

To her ears, there were many flaws in Kay’s words.

It also bothered me that most of what I said couldn’t be confirmed right away.

Why did Jay come to Gangbuk?

I came to convey my message that I asked you not to intervene in the situation in Gangnam.

But Kay, who showed up claiming to be a colleague, not only took his own path, but was also thinking of borrowing Oh Se-yoon’s strength.

From this point on, it was clear that the president and Kay had different opinions.

In principle, he should be executed on the spot.

When I actually listened to it, there wasn’t anything wrong with what Kay said.

Whose words are true anyway?

However, if we back down like this, it is only a matter of time before Oh Se-yoon’s Gangbuk forces intervene in the current situation.

If this is the case, there is only one way.

Even if Oh Se-yoon helps Yeon-hee, she won’t move overnight.

It will require some preparation time, whether it be a day or two.

Jay decided to meet the boss within that time and explain the situation.

And I also wanted to find out why Kay was sent out of Seoul.

Jay, his mind made up, put the knife away.

A sigh of relief escapes Kay’s lips as he sees that sight.

“… I don’t believe you. I’m just stepping back because the situation has gotten so big that I can’t make a conclusion.”

“Okay, okay. Anyway, I appreciate you trusting me to some extent.”

“I don’t believe you, you punk. If there’s even one lie, I won’t let you off easy. Got it? The boss sent me here. The reason was to keep me from interfering with the situation in Gangnam. But you’re already falling for it. That alone is reason enough to kill you. I’m saying this with the last bit of camaraderie I have left, so please don’t lie.”

“of course.”

Kay nodded, calming her trembling heart.

Meanwhile, Yeonhee, who had followed Oh Se-yoon to meet his entourage, was quite disappointed.

Because she had been around so many strong people, she was able to gauge the strength of her opponents just by looking at them.

But the people that Oh Se-yoon showed me as his close associates all seemed useless.

Each person introduces themselves and tells how they came to be here.

As I listened silently, I started to get worried.

“… Yes. That’s right. It must not have been easy.”

“… That’s amazing.”

He just nodded with a look of confusion on his face.

It would be fortunate if the US soldiers who were unable to go to the East Sea on time and were tied up were mixed in.

The crises that the people of Gangbuk talk about so far are fire, zombies, and mutant zombies.

Early stages of the situation.

Because Oh Se-yoon moved so quickly, there were no rivals in Gangbuk.

Since we started out with gangsters, there wasn’t really any crisis.

Moreover, unlike their outward appearance and the way they bow deeply to each other when greeting each other.

For the survivors, being generous and treating them fairly actually had a better effect.

It’s like when someone who seems like they can’t do something does it well, they look even better.

People’s perspectives on good and evil could be said to be similar.

Se-yoon Oh, who introduced his entourage, said while linking arms.

“I heard from a woman named Jay that Gangnam is a mess right now. I heard there’s a religious group called the Mumyeonggyo with about 10,000 members?”

“Well… that’s what they say. I haven’t seen it myself though.”

Yeonhee answered with a trembling face.

“Then things will be easy.”

“Yeah, that would be easy.”

“There are about 50,000 of us.”

“what?”

Yeonhee’s head suddenly turned as she was wiping the rifle on the table.

“How many people?”

“Fifty thousand people. Why?”

Yeonhee couldn’t close her gaping mouth.

50 thousand people.

It was a huge scale that could not even match the number of survivors in Gangnam combined.

“Half of them can be armed right now. The 56th and 57th divisions are in my hands. You don’t have to worry about weapons.”

Oh Se-yoon shrugged his shoulders and spoke leisurely.

It was a moment when he and his entourage, whom he had disliked, suddenly seemed attractive.

“No, with so many of you, why haven’t you ever thought of crossing the river?”

“There’s no need to cross. We’re doing fine now. And when I see gunshots and explosions coming from across the river, it’s not that… … .”

Se-yoon Oh shook his head, his voice trailing off.

“The reason we were able to find you so quickly was because of the sound we heard across the river. From what we saw from high above, it was mostly inside the city. There’s no way people fighting zombies would cause such explosions. They’re probably just fighting each other. It would be a problem if those guys came across the river.”

“That’s great. But judging from the atmosphere on the way here, it seemed like it was run very democratically. If you suddenly ask them to go fight, will they listen?”

“Don’t worry about that. I know what you’re thinking. Of course, most of the people here are ordinary survivors. But if you think ordinary people are weak, you’re very mistaken.”

“Well… Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. I’m kind of thinking about shooting the gun properly.”

Oh Se-yoon smiled faintly at Yeon-hee’s worry.

“Yes. As you worry, there has never been a shooting between people in Gangbuk. Of course, we are not used to such things. However, there is one thing you are overlooking.”

“What is it?”

“Unity.”

Oh Se-yoon, leaning back against the wall, continued speaking with a very serious expression on his face.

“We have a unity that you don’t have. It’s something I always emphasize to people. If they find out about the group called the Anonymous Church, everyone will probably want to come forward. If we leave it like that, it’s obvious that they’ll cross the river someday.”

He took off his hat and walked past his entourage to approach Yeonhee.

“We’re not used to being attacked by people. What does that mean? There’s a fear of the unknown. Fear is just that. It’s too much for one person to carry. But what if we weren’t alone? What if we had people to protect? What we’d risked our lives to build for months? If it could all come crashing down overnight, we’d risk our lives to protect it.”

Then he put his hand on the table where Yeonhee was sitting and showed a confident expression.

“That’s how we survived. We came here, back to back, ordinary people, through the darkness where we couldn’t see an inch ahead. I guarantee you, no matter what kind of guys are in Gangnam, we won’t be easy either.”

Yeonhee looked up at Oh Se-yoon quietly.

Trying to suppress the strange emotion swirling in my chest.

You may not be able to say anything. I will show you that I am not. ”

It was Oh Se-yoon who stepped back with a soft smile.
