Infected - Chapter 489



Only Noblemtl

Episode 488

Tears welled up in Kim’s trembling eyes.

“… Daewoong gave me this opportunity while risking his life. Have you ever done that? Have you ever risked your life to open up a way for someone else to live?”

Chanyeol couldn’t answer.

It’s not that I didn’t know that feeling, it’s that I knew it too well.

When the entire company was surrounded by zombies at the Yeouido Safety Zone construction site.

Chanyeol climbed up the stairs, making his way through the soldiers who were surrounded and unable to do anything.

It was my will to somehow pave the way, even if it meant sacrificing my own body.

If Daewoong’s choice is like that… … .

Chanyeol had to be respected.

I couldn’t let the rest of them die because of the guilt of persuading him.

But I couldn’t just leave it like that.

In the end, Chanyeol roughly shook off Kim’s hand.

And he said to Suah.

“Sister, just keep going down this slope. I have to save my brother. You know that. I convinced all three of them.”

“… Okay. But you have to come.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

Su-ah, who had been standing with a pitiful face, turns around and pulls Kim away.

I wanted to cling to him and tell him not to go, but the moment I looked into Chanyeol’s eyes, I realized that I couldn’t do that.

Chanyeol, who was watching the back of her head getting further away, stroked his rifle and calmed his mind.

And then I went back the way I came.

Daeung was still hiding outside the fence.

He couldn’t raise his head because the guns aimed at him kept getting longer and longer.

Enemies spread out widely and slowly closing in.

When the lead one among them approached the fence.

The muzzle of the gun protruded from between the thick bushes and fired.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the enemies fell down after being shot in the head, Daeung also mustered up his courage and stood up.

The enemies were unable to come to their senses due to the counterattack of Chanyeol, who was thought to have escaped, and Daewoong, who was on the verge of being captured.

Although there were only two of them, it was not easy to respond because they were shooting with the determination to die.

Raon and the Russian man sitting in the truck also had to hide under the seats without being able to move.

Chanyeol, who didn’t miss the gap, picks up something and throws it.

A sphere flying in a parabolic arc.

It was a grenade received with the janggu at the main gate.

Raon’s eyes widen as he barely sticks his head out from the passenger seat.

Because the grenade rolled right under the bumper.

Degururur… … .

Boom!

The car body rose up with a loud noise, and in an instant, the flames spread to the fuel tank.

And then it explodes again.

It was a huge explosion, incomparable to that of a hand grenade exploding.

Underneath the black smoke, debris flew in all directions and struck those standing nearby.

“Brother! Now is the time!”

Taking advantage of the confusion, Daeung escaped from the fence and ran with all his might.

A few quick-witted people aimed their guns at him, but Chanyeol’s waiting bullet was first.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Enemies who fall down while grabbing the neck and chest.

Chanyeol didn’t shoot himself in the head on purpose.

There have already been multiple casualties due to the vehicle explosion.

If a few more people died at this time, mutations would occur quickly everywhere.

It was an inevitable choice for Chanyeol, who needed time to escape.

As the two people who had dramatically reunited passed the foot of the mountain.

Raon, who was thought to be dead, popped his head out from the flower bed near the exploded vehicle.

He survived by jumping off the passenger side steps just before the explosion.

He wiped the blood flowing from his forehead and glared fiercely at the foot of the mountain.

Then he pulled the trigger madly, shooting at those lying around him.

It was a brutal solution without even an inch of hesitation.

The one who fell down with his neck held and the one who was shot in the chest were still alive.

But Raon did not spare even a single wounded person.

He even brutally murdered a man who was crawling towards him after being shot in the thigh.

Although it was a choice to prevent mutation, it was a massacre closer to venting anger than prevention.

Some people might be outraged by that behavior.

Everyone was busy keeping silent while watching their colleagues die unjustly.

I was afraid that unnecessary sparks would fly.

Raon’s face, looking at the foot of the mountain, trembles.

“These little bastards… … .”

* * *

“Gasp! Gasp!”

Chanyeol and Daewoong were going down the mountain without thinking.

My face and neck were cut and torn by branches and grass, but I couldn’t stop for even a moment.

After passing the long, steep downhill and reaching a valley covered in thick snow, we saw the footprints of Kim and Su-ah who had left before us.

But still, the two people were not visible.

Since there was no specific place we had agreed to meet, we had no choice but to just follow the trail.

After running like that for a while, I crossed a few more ridges.

The backs of Kim and Su-ah, who were walking ahead of me, began to appear between the thick tree branches.

Daewoong stopped Chanyeol, who was about to shout out in joy.

“Not yet. I’ve confirmed the direction, so don’t make any noise until you get close. There’s no way to know how far they’ve followed you.”

“Oh, that’s right. Let’s keep chasing after it.”

Crash!

Chanyeol, who was running a few steps, stopped and looked back.

Behind, Daeung, who had been stuck in the snow, was barely able to get up.

A bright red bloodstain slowly spreading across the white snow field.

“…brother?”

Daewoong, whose eyes met Chanyeol’s, quickly looked away.

“No. I just scratched the back of my hand. Let’s go quickly.”

“Wait a minute. This is… … .”

Jiik!

Chanyeol, who approached in one step, flipped his jumper left and right.

Blood dripped from his damp side.

He had been running with a gunshot wound to his side.

Without even a single groan, in case my escape was delayed.

“No, when… … .”

Daewoong covered his wound by pulling up his jumper.

“It’s still okay. I can run.”

“No. If you keep running like this, you’ll bleed to death.”

“So? What are you going to do in this mountain? Stop talking and just run. It’s a waste of time.”

“Just wait.”

Chanyeol went back the way he came, leaving Daewoong standing there.

And I was sure.

That Raon had stopped chasing.

If we had been chasing it since then, we would have passed the valley and reached the vicinity by now.

But in the area, not even the sound of human footsteps or the presence of wild animals could be felt.

Chanyeol, who had returned, supported Daewoong and spoke.

“I think the chase is over. Can you give me my bag? Did you bring the first aid kit?”

“…Chanyeol.”

“Let’s disinfect and spray some styptic first. Go to a safe place and lie down, and I’ll bring you and your uncle.”

“Kim Chanyeol.”

Chanyeol stopped as he was taking out a first aid kit from his bag.

Daewoong’s face turned incredibly blue in an instant.

“… I’m sorry I can’t go with you.”

“What are you talking about? The chase is over?”

“I lost too much blood. I thought I could run just a moment ago, but I suddenly feel so dizzy that I can hardly stand. I’m fine, so just leave me alone. If I keep doing this, I’ll end up completely estranged from Su-ah.”

“I’m sorry, but I won’t leave you until you die in front of me. I know because I’ve been there. People don’t die that easily.”

Chanyeol changed direction and went down a different path while supporting Daewoong’s arm.

Then he laid the great lion down neatly under a rock that looked like a cave.

Now I had to search through my bag to see if there was anything I could use.

First of all, there was enough medicine.

Mr. Kim was so meticulous that he could stitch up and repair any minor wounds on the spot.

The problem was that Chanyeol had no experience with this kind of thing.

It was only natural for him to hesitate, since all he could do was watch over Min-yeong’s shoulder while he treated the group.

But there was no other way.

People act as they see and remember as they hear.

Chanyeol soaked the gauze in disinfectant as he recalled his memories from that time one by one.

Daeung had given up talking and was lying down with a look of despair on his face.

As he lifted his T-shirt, the gunshot wound with blood oozing out was clearly visible.

Chanyeol cleans the area around the wound and pours disinfectant into it.

“Kwaaak!”

Unable to bear the pain, Daewoong let out a terrible scream.

And the pain soon poured out as curses.

“Hey you crazy bastard! Are you sure you know how to do it properly?”

“What’s wrong? You said you were going to die alone earlier.”

“It wasn’t this painful back then!”

“Being sick is a good sign. When you’re about to die, you won’t even know you’re sick. Drink this every time you feel sick. You’ll probably lose a lot of blood, so you need to keep replenishing your fluids.”

Chanyeol rolled up his sleeves while putting the water bottle in Daewoong’s mouth.

I didn’t forget to spray disinfectant all over both my hands.

My mouth was about to open wide from the scratches I had received from the branches, but now was not the time to be in pain.

The problem was that I didn’t have the courage to poke around in that narrow gunshot wound with a pair of pliers.

How on earth did Min-young find a bullet in a wound like this?

It was a moment when I felt once again how great she was.

“Phew! Phew!”

Chanyeol takes a deep breath and looks at Daewoong, who is holding a water bottle in his mouth.

Honestly, I thought it would be difficult to succeed with just one or two attempts.

If you leave me alone, I’ll grit my teeth in pain and end up seriously hurt.

Chanyeol took out the water bottle and stuffed the bandage he had just torn into his mouth.

“What, what are you doing? You’re crazy… Woof! Woof!”

“If you’re really in so much pain that you think you’re going crazy, bite the bandage. It’s better to break a few teeth than to die.”

What the hell is this?

Dae-woong, who had been blinking, asked for time to leave his will, and without even a moment’s hesitation, Chan-yeol’s execution began.

First, I soaked the earthquake tongs in disinfectant with a lighter.

And then, holding his breath, he thrust the forceps into the wound.

“Eww!”

‘Please, please stay nearby.’

I prayed and prayed that the bullet wouldn’t go too deep and that there would be no damage to my organs.

With the other hand, gently spread the wound apart and change the position of the forceps.

Daeung’s body trembled in pain as the iron bar tore through his flesh.

Whatever.

Once I started, I had to find the bullets somehow.

How many times did he stir it up like that?

I felt something hard from the tip of the tongs.

It was definitely a different feeling from when I was tearing flesh.

‘This is it!’

Chanyeol, who was secretly delighted, picked up the bullet with the tip of the tongs.

Swish!

“Ugh!”

It was really strange.

The one the bullet came out of was Daewoong’s body, but the one whose ten-year-old illness was going down was Chanyeol.

“Haa, haa… … .”

Chanyeol lets out the breath he had been holding and shouts at Daewoong.

“Crazy, this is ridiculous. I took the bullet out. Dude! I did it!”

Although he was shaking his head wildly in joy, Daeung had a half-souled look on his face.

Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth where he had clenched his teeth, and his face, drenched in cold sweat, was lifeless.

But he was still alive.

Even when he was standing in the snow, his face looked like he was about to die.

When the pain really hits you, every cell in your body screams for survival.

“… Listen carefully, hyung. I’m going to sew it up now. Huh, what the hell am I going to do? I’ve never sewn before. Oh, I don’t know! But it’s better than you dying.”

Chanyeol, who was half-crazy and babbling, or Daewoong, who had no reaction to those words.

Both of them were already out of their minds.

“after…….”

Chanyeol lets out another long sigh and sprays the coagulant and grabs the needle and thread.

If we stop here, Daeung will die.

Because I was much more afraid of Daewoong’s death than of uncertainty.

I had to sew it somehow.

Right then.

There was a sound of branches breaking on the ground, followed by a sense of presence.

Chanyeol’s face, who was holding the needle, turned pale.

If you get caught here, it’s all over.

The bullet that was pulled out with great effort, and the poison of Daewoong that he gritted his teeth to survive.

It will all be in vain.

I considered throwing down the needle and picking up the rifle, but the footsteps were already too close.

Chanyeol lowered his gaze with a feeling of resignation.

Because I didn’t have the courage to look back.

Basasak!

A split second when a small branch breaking on the ground breaks.

Chanyeol’s entire life passed by like a panorama before his eyes.

and…….

An all too familiar voice shook him awake.
