Infected - Chapter 48



Only Noblemtl

Episode 47

Somewhere, a sound like water draining into a large sewer could be heard.

Jae-Jeong, who had climbed onto the camper van in an instant, picked up the telescope.

Something was seen moving beneath the mixture of darkness and light.

What is that?

Finance increased the telescope’s magnification.

Then goosebumps started to appear on my forehead and all over my body.

The identity of the things surging like waves was none other than the infected.

An unbelievable number of infected people were rushing in, creating a smoky storm.

A spectacle that pours out like a tsunami between the buildings of a city center where the sections have been organized.

Even as goosebumps ran through my entire body, the bastards were advancing at an incredible speed.

Underneath the camper van, a panicked Anna was talking nonsense to her group.

This was not the time.

I had to run away somewhere immediately.

Right now!

however…….

“Why is that?”

It was Hyunsoo’s voice.

When Jae-jae turned his head quickly, he saw Hyun-soo standing at the gas station on the other side of the street.

The distance is at least several dozen meters.

What are you doing over there?

The guy who was fiddling with the machine at this gas station just a moment ago!

The faint noise grew into a noise so loud that I lost my mind, and a pitch-black dust storm appeared from a not-so-distant intersection.

“Everyone, run to the gas station!”

As soon as Jae-ui finished speaking, Young-man, Min-yeong, and Anna ran to the gas station as fast as they could.

Jae-jae was thinking of going to Hyun-soo, who was standing across the street.

Right then.

Beomsik, who was standing next to the camper van, ran towards Hyunsoo like a spring.

Hyun-soo, who discovered the dust storm too late, froze in place.

There was no choice.

Hyunsoo had to be left to Beomsik.

Jae-jae, who had stepped on the camper van and jumped, ran with all his might after the group.

Anna, who had just opened the office door and entered, turned around and waited for Finance.

While running, Jaejae turned his head and looked to the side.

The storm surged up to the traffic light right in front of us, seemingly swallowing us up.

Like a sandstorm in the desert.

Their faces, their grotesque expressions, their severed arms and legs, all mixed together with all sorts of other things, were approaching.

Anna’s heart was pounding as if it was going to burst as she waited, holding onto the door.

“Jump!”

Just as Young-man’s thunderous roar was drowned out, Jae-jae managed to fly into the office.

Anna quickly closes the door and Young-man blocks the entrance by pulling a sofa.

As soon as the door lock turned, Jae-Jae, Min-Young, Anna, and Young-Man hid behind the sofa.

Soon the ground began to shake and an unbelievable noise was heard.

Dada dadadak!

The hinges holding the door shook wildly.

It wasn’t enough to shake my body, but a slight vibration ran through my entire body.

Please, please just go away!

Young-man, who poked his head slightly over the sofa, shouted inwardly.

The lights pouring in from the buildings had long since been swallowed up by the dust storm, and it was pitch black outside.

How many numbers have to move to create this scene?

Youngman was confident that he had seen everything there was to see in his life.

There will be no greater experience than this.

But I couldn’t believe it even though it was happening right before my eyes.

Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of infected people passed by, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The guys trampled and broke everything in front of them as they passed.

The sounds of glass shattering, iron beams bending, and rebar snapping all came together in one voice.

Covering the road black as if a swarm of locusts.

If I were standing in there… … .

It wouldn’t have ended with just being trampled.

It may be torn, torn, or left without a trace.

But… it’s not over.

Every time I thought it was the end, I was driven harder and harder.

Contrary to expectations, the guys just passed by the gas station.

I saw finances running, but it seemed like they were chasing a bigger stimulus.

Jae-jae, who had been lying on the sofa, grabbed his hair.

Hyun-soo was across the street, and Beom-sik ran to save Hyun-soo.

It didn’t seem like it would survive.

Anyone would have thought so upon seeing the sight before their eyes.

Because no one would be able to survive the storm of those infected.

A passenger car that had been standing still rose up and was then completely destroyed.

Cars were flipped over and crushed, so it was impossible for people to survive.

No matter how fast Beomsik was, he didn’t have enough time to get Hyunsoo into the building.

As far as Jae-jae remembers, Hyun-soo was frozen in place until Beom-sik jumped.

It certainly was.

Finance turned his head and looked to the side.

Young-man was hugging Min-yeong tightly, who was trembling like an aspen tree in fear and shedding tears.

Young-man and Jae-jae soon met each other’s eyes and read the fear in each other’s eyes.

Anna held her bow tightly, loading an arrow.

I remembered something Anna had said one day.

I’m going to kill at least one more zombie baby while I’m alive.

Finance popped his head back onto the sofa.

The only silver lining was that they were passing right in front of the gas pump.

Finance gritted his teeth and prayed.

I hope they don’t come into the gas station.

If the gas pump were to be destroyed by that hurricane’s force, it would cause a fire followed by an explosion that would blow the entire gas station up.

The explosion would have been effective in reducing the number of them, but the party would never have survived.

So all you can do is sit still and pray.

Anna bit her lower lip.

“Huh… Huh… Huh… … !”

I took a deep, ragged breath, feeling out of breath.

When I heard the noise from outside and saw the ground shaking like an earthquake, an unbearable fear took my breath away.

“I can’t stand it anymore!”

The moment Anna, excited, grabbed the bow and tried to get up, Jae-jae grabbed her shoulder.

He pressed down on her with such force that she couldn’t get up.

She struggled to get up, but couldn’t overcome Finance.

Jae-yi’s gaze looking outside has softened.

Nod, nod.

“It’s okay. It’s all over.”

Then Anna’s breathing gradually slowed down.

The deafening noise was also gradually decreasing.

The group, crushed by the fear of imminent death, could do nothing but stick their heads out.

It was quiet.

As if nothing had happened, the dark streets were filled with lights again.

The light was the same as before, but the streets they had swept through were a mess.

One more thing.

More than a hundred infected people remained near the gas station.

A bunch of guys who are scattered and wandering around irregularly.

The group looked outside without saying who would go first.

does not exist.

No matter where I looked, Beomsik and Hyeonsu were nowhere to be seen.

I searched the building across the street, but the windows were empty.

If I had survived, I would have definitely been standing by the window.

Finance lowered its gaze to the floor.

Couldn’t stop it.

It was an incredibly tight time to come up with any countermeasures.

In the end, the choice was Beomsik’s.

It was the same for Hyunsoo.

but.

I didn’t know you would leave so suddenly.

A lot of people died.

It wasn’t the first time someone I was with died.

But why is this so hard to accept?

Anna asked, looking outside.

“Gangster… Gangster brother? BJ Hyunsoo or something?”

As Finance averted his gaze, she asked Youngman.

But there was no one who could answer.

I didn’t see a body, but I didn’t find any signs of life either.

It would be more accurate to say that there was nowhere to find it.

Minyoung, who was hiding behind the sofa, sobbed and trembled.

Now there are only four left.

I was scared, scared, scared.

There were seven of us when we left the hospital.

I lost one, but I met another one at the broadcasting station.

And in just a few hours, the party was halved.

We too were going to die soon.

Despair clouded my vision and I was crushed by fear, unable to make rational decisions.

Only thoughts of a miserable death filled my mind.

Finance put down his rifle and scanned the road.

I think I left my hamster somewhere, but I can’t remember where.

I was so out of it.

Ohamma was nowhere to be seen, perhaps because of the infected people staggering around.

There were so many of them that they filled the area, moving around irregularly at intervals of a few meters.

“What should I do?”

Jae-jae, who had hidden himself again, asked Young-man.

But it wasn’t like Youngman had a sharp mind.

“That’s what I wanted to ask.”

“first…….”

“Let’s sweep it all away.”

Anna intervened.

She had a solemn expression on her face and was holding a bow.

The momentum he was giving off made him look like he would run out and shoot arrows at any moment if he were allowed to.

“no.”

“Why? Why doesn’t it work?”

“That doesn’t mean the problem will be solved.”

“Do you really want to live now?”

“Then are you doing this to try to die?”

Finance took a sharp look.

Tears quickly welled up in Anna’s eyes, and soon she began to laugh like a crazy person.

Then suddenly his face changed into a scary one.

“How? Do you think that’s possible? This isn’t a hospital. There’s no basement or narrow passages. There’s only one exit, and we can’t get out even one step without breaking the heads of the guys in front of us. If we swing anything, they’ll all come running at us. We don’t have a choice anyway.”

Anna continued with a venomous face.

“Let’s just… die with dignity. Let’s not hide and tremble like rats, but die with dignity.”

“wait for a sec.”

Anna was caught while her finances were running out.

Anna tried desperately to shake it off, but it was too difficult and no effect at the moment.

Should I scream?

As she was about to open her mouth, her eyes met Minyoung’s.

Red, bloodshot eyes.

Drooping double eyelids and distorted cheeks.

Min-yeong was sobbing quietly.

When I saw that face, I came to my senses like someone who had just woken up from a deep sleep.

This is not it.

I didn’t mean to scare anyone.

I was just suggesting the most realistic way.

Suddenly my throat got sore.

Eventually, I was led by the hands of finance and sat on the floor.

Then he clenched his teeth.

I didn’t want to cry.

It was hurtful to shed tears knowing that I was going to die, but seeing Min-yeong made me feel like I was going to burst into tears.

“Listen carefully. The deaths of two people were unavoidable. We don’t need to feel guilty. And even if we do mourn, it’s not now. I know how desperate the situation is. But Anna, think about it. Have the crises we’ve overcome so far been manageable? No, there have been worse times.”

Jaejae continued to speak to Anna, whose eyes were red from holding back tears.

“What about you? A guy several times my size threw you and you got up without breaking a single bone. Remember? Let’s take a moment to think about it. I know how hard it is, but it’s not something you can decide alone. There are four lives to be had, right? You understand what I’m saying. You know what I’m saying. Answer me.”

“Uh… I know.”

Anna nodded, barely able to raise her voice.

“I told you, we’re going to Yeouido. We’ll get there somehow. There are many ways. It just takes time. You can do it. You have to think you can do it. You’ll think about it again, right?”

“huh.”

“Okay, thanks. I’ll just take a break for a moment.”

Jaejae, who had left Anna sitting behind the sofa, walked to the window at a duck’s pace.

Then, Young-man, who had received the autograph, quickly followed behind.

Actually, it was dark outside and their eyesight was poor, so there was no need to be so careful.

But I didn’t know what variables there would be.

There was no law that said there had to be only one type of mutant monster.

Ever since he saw the guy at the hospital, Jae-jae couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild at every moment.

Young-man also understood it well.

I pulled down the blinds while standing right next to the window.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

Every time he heard a sound, Young-man tightly shut his eyes.

The guys outside also turned their heads frantically in response.

Their hearing was that keen.

Because I reacted easily even to the smallest sound.

The blinds on both sides went down.

Thanks to this, I can now walk around comfortably in any direction except the main entrance where the sofa is.

Only then did Jae-jae sit down in his office chair, straightening his back, and open the blinds.

Right then.

Bam!

There was a sound of a door opening on the road.
