Infected - Chapter 479



Only Noblemtl

Episode 478

Jay, who came to Gangnam, headed straight somewhere.

It was right after I finished talking to Kay.

After walking for a long time, the sun was starting to set.

Jay arrived at a building in the middle of downtown.

Believers gather in groups and guard every street they pass by.

It was an incomparably large number compared to other places where people would travel in pairs or twos.

He seemed quite surprised that the prison and the armory were attacked in succession.

A sign hanging at the entrance of the building looks down on Jay.

Company Youngjin.

The area around the boss was filled with believers.

There were so many people wandering around that if no one had told you, you would have mistaken it for a holy place.

The believers guarding the stairs made way for people to pass on the left and right.

She naturally turned upward and entered a room.

There was a man sitting there without a mask.

Jay saw him and bowed his head, placing his hand on his chest.

“This is Jay.”

“Welcome. Sit over here.”

The man naturally guided Jay to the sofa.

Then he served me warm tea and sat down across from me.

The conversation between the two was all about Kay, Yeonhee, Oh Seyoon, and their group.

It seemed like it had been a long time since we had this kind of relationship, where we could open up to each other without any awkwardness.

After a while.

The man who finished his story stood up and smiled brightly.

“The leader is always grateful for your sacrifice. He will definitely repay you someday.”

“What’s the reward? I’m honored to be able to help.”

“If only the second-class believers had followed your class, it wouldn’t have been this difficult. Anyway, I received a lot of help this time too. Thanks to you, I was able to prepare for many things. When the time comes… Come to the Holy Land. Your spot is always empty.”

“Thank you for your words.”

“Where are you going now?”

“I’m thinking of going to see the boss. I need to hear what he’s thinking.”

The man nodded.

“Can’t you tell me the location yet?”

“Yes. I would appreciate it if you could understand that part. He is very perceptive, so if he sees even the slightest sign of something strange, he will be the first to suspect us. And it is better to upset the balance and make the boss come out rather than looking for him himself.”

“Well, I’m confident I can keep it a secret, but if you say so, there’s nothing we can do. We trust you. That’s why we never suspected you or followed you.”

Jay smiled faintly.

“Yes, I know that very well.”

“I’ll head straight to the Holy Land. Perhaps the next time I see you, I’ll be somewhere else. I’ll send someone when the time is right, so just do your job quietly.”

“Okay, then I’ll go now.”

Jay bowed his head, placed his hand on his heart, and leisurely walked away from the street teeming with believers.

A time when the power structure in Seoul was in a state of flux.

Chanyeol, who had been kidnapped to paradise, was living a more ordinary life than ever.

The Raons constantly brought in new people, and Chanyeol became their new leader.

And as the special surveillance period passed, Joshua and I each started living in our own homes.

Of course, we didn’t forget to meet up from time to time and make an escape plan.

However, there was still no agreement with Joshua that escape was impossible.

In the end, Chanyeol decided to find another way.

Anyway, it would have been difficult to escape from this place with just the strength of two people.

The heat of the heat, it will definitely catch on.

I would rather die while running away than be dragged away alive by Raon.

As Chanyeol was assembling the parts on the workbench, something appeared before his eyes.

widely!

It was a carbonated drink.

When I raised my head, there stood Han Dae-woong, a huge man as big as a bear.

His job required him to oversee the workshop, requiring him to communicate with workers several times a day.

To Daewoong, Chanyeol was a guy who particularly stood out.

Perhaps because he was a soldier, he was polite and could be trusted to do anything he was told to do without worry.

“Drink and do it.”

“Oh, thank you!”

“Let’s have a cigarette. Okay! Let’s all take a break and then do it!”

Daewoong’s thunderous voice filled the workshop.

Chanyeol followed him outside and lit a cigarette while looking at the city center covered in snow.

“But, brother.”

“why?”

“I guess I’m good at digging. It snows so much in Seoul at this time of year. Oh, who would call me a soldier… …”

“But you’ve already cleaned up a lot. What’s left will melt on its own.”

“Is this the end? The eyes.”

“Well, since the virus spread, the weather has become so strange and unpredictable.”

“My arms are going to hurt, seriously.”

“Who would do something so crazy?”

For several days, snow fell as if it were swallowing up Seoul.

Chanyeol, who was confident in his shoveling skills, did his best in the snow removal work.

His digging was so great that even Raon, who is not easily surprised, was astonished.

That’s what happened… … .

The problem is that Chanyeol was the only one who had that kind of enthusiasm.

Even after everyone went back to work, I had to keep digging all day.

It was natural to feel sick.

Daewoong was amazed by that kind of coldness.

No, it was interesting.

It wasn’t like they were in paradise from the beginning, and most of those who were brought there against their will had a hard time adjusting.

Because I had an accident or my head was broken while trying to escape clumsily.

But Chanyeol was different.

After a few days, I started to adapt naturally as if I had been there from the beginning.

He was the kind of guy who would somehow survive even if he were thrown onto a deserted island.

It is not easy to adapt to a new environment.

Even more so if it was brought in against one’s will.

However, for Chanyeol, who had been drafted into the military against his will in the first place, it wasn’t particularly difficult.

Plus, there was a glimmer of hope that I would eventually get out of here.

It wasn’t too bad, except that I felt like I was a private again.

“But still, thanks to my hard work, Su-ah was able to rest and have fun. It didn’t matter to you, hyung.”

“Do you like Suah?”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Chanyeol raised his voice for no reason.

The stiff speech he had when he first arrived had disappeared, and he was soon returning to the human Kim Chan-yeol he was before his enlistment.

“No matter what we talk about, Su-ah is always involved.”

“Well… that’s because I’m close with my older sister.”

“Okay, Inma. Someone like Suah would make men lose their minds.”

“Your brother is also a man?”

“I am…….”

Daeung shook off the cigarette ash with a bitter smile.

“I’m married. I have a wife and a daughter.”

The smile disappeared from Chanyeol’s face.

During my time in paradise, I never heard that Daewoong had a family.

That means we’re breaking up soon.

When Chanyeol thought about the sense of loss that Daewoong must have felt, he was speechless.

“… I’m sorry. I didn’t even know that.”

“Why are you sorry? And I never said I was dead.”

“Yes? Are you alive? Your sister-in-law and daughter?”

Daeung just smiled awkwardly and didn’t say anything in response.

Chanyeol, who was looking at that smile, was so dumbfounded that he almost got angry.

Suddenly, Raon’s face comes to mind.

What on earth is the brain structure of this crazy guy that makes him tear his family apart?

In a world where it is difficult for even one descendant to survive in ten families.

Chanyeol, who was about to get angry without realizing it, barely managed to swallow his words.

And then I turned the anger I was feeling in a different direction.

I decided to consider it as one more comrade to escape with.

I haven’t spoken to him directly, but I don’t think a father with a wife and daughter will be stuck here forever.

I thought I would give it a try someday when I got the chance.

Actually, there were more than one or two things I was curious about before.

Daeung had an extraordinary aura that anyone could see, and he even had a large physique that rivaled Jaegyeong.

If a person like this wanted to, he could easily break Raon’s neck.

What is the reason for keeping quiet?

Daewoong patted Chanyeol, who was sitting with a shady face.

“Relax, Inma. Who doesn’t have a story?”

“Are you sure? Your family is alive.”

Daewoong stared at Chanyeol before answering.

Then, with a long sigh, he took out another cigarette and lit it.

“… I just believe that. I haven’t seen it since the virus outbreak.”

“ah…….”

Chanyeol let out a single exclamation and quickly reflected on it.

It was because I tried to take advantage of other people’s pain without realizing it.

I was looking forward to having one more comrade to escape with.

“If you don’t believe in something like this, it will be hard to endure.”

“He will be alive. I’m sure.”

Daeung smiled faintly.

“You are such a kind person. And so innocent.”

“Hey, I’m doing this because you’re my older brother. I’m different when I go out.”

“No. I usually try not to say hopeful things like you. It’s much more realistic to think of someone as dead. You know, sometimes ridiculously positive consolation can be hurtful. People are careful about that. But you don’t really take it personally. I can feel the sincerity in everything you say.”

“Uh… I don’t really know what you’re talking about. Anyway, let’s think positively!”

“okay.”

When the cigarette I was smoking became a butt.

Daewoong, looking around the now-empty train station, spoke softly.

“Chanyeol.”

“yes?”

“Just listen quietly. I know what you’re thinking these days. You’re trying to get out of here.”

Chanyeol’s eyes widened in confusion when he heard those words.

The only person who shared stories about the escape was Joshua.

I wonder if Joshua is telling other people about it.

no.

That can’t be true.

If such rumors spread, she won’t be safe either.

While a thousand thoughts were running through Chanyeol’s head.

Daeung continued speaking as he looked out at the snow-covered city center.

“I warn you, stop there. You can never escape from here. Why? Raon is not stupid. How could he have filtered out all the believers who had infiltrated so far? There are assistants to the administrators in Paradise. However, we cannot specify who they are. Judge well. You have already failed from the fact that I know about your plan. If someone else had known, not me… … .”

Daeung stood up, crushing the butt of the cigarette.

“You must have died several times. I’m warning you once again, so stop here. I don’t want to see you go wrong.”

“Oh, how do you know?”

“Does that matter? It matters that you are trying to die. Leaving paradise is not the end. The Raons are out there too.”

At that moment, countless gunshots were heard from the city center not far away.

It sounded like thunder from beyond the mountains.

Daewoong’s gaze turned to the direction where the gunshots were coming from.

“Here comes another one. Anyway, I made my point clear. Please don’t make such foolish thoughts again. And that’s all for today. Go find Mr. Kim.”

“Mr. Kim? Why?”

Mr. Kim was an engineer who served as a sort of technical advisor at Paradise.

It was all thanks to Kim that the Raons were able to live a relatively comfortable life.

“If you go, there’ll be something you can help with. The old man said he likes you because you’re so bubbly.”

“Yes, I will. But, bro, before I go, can I ask you one thing?”

“What is it?”

“The Raons who are out there. My sister says they are really crazy. What do they do? And why doesn’t the Nameless Church attack Paradise? They are said to be overwhelmingly numerous.”

“Not one? A question?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Chanyeol scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

“The reason the Nameless Church doesn’t attack Paradise is because they don’t care. They don’t pose much of a threat. We were the ones who first attacked the Nameless Church. It was the outsiders who started it that you’re curious about. Think of yourself as the Nameless Church. It would be better to first subdue the large and crowded Nambu Terminal. Why would you care about Paradise, which has less than a few hundred people?”

“Really? If I were you, I don’t think I would let you stay still if you kept pestering me from behind.”

“Well… there are many reasons. The Raons are stronger than the believers at a level of one hundred against one, and the geographical advantage of Paradise is also a big factor. It’s located at a high altitude compared to the city center. And we can’t ignore the fact that we’re communicating with the Southern Terminal. There are also people who mediate, and the Nameless Church has many enemies besides us. Either way, it’s complicated.”

“You say that Raons are strong enough to fight a hundred people? I don’t think that’s the case at all.”

Chanyeol tilted his head as he thought about the people living in paradise.

Except for the representative Raon, his associates, and Daewoong, there was no one who could be called strong.

“You’ll see soon. What kind of guys Raon, who built paradise, is leading. It’s already this late. Today, I’ll help Mr. Kim until the sun sets. I’ll go first.”

Daewoong waved his hand and disappeared into the workshop.
