Infected - Chapter 492

Episode 491
A few hours ago, when the sun was at its peak.
At the eastern foot of the mountain, Yeonhee, Kay, Oh Se-yoon, and Mr. Kim were hiding.
There were a lot of people guarding the northern foothills, so we took a detour to the east.
Paradise was hectic.
The administrators were constantly shooting down the streets, and the noisy electronic noises from their walkie-talkies filled the area.
While quietly watching their movements.
The spiders that were coming down the mountainside began to devour paradise.
After that, it was just as I had heard from Daeung.
The lights of paradise began to fade one by one, and soon the lights went dark.
Then, large lights turn on simultaneously on several rooftops.
Startled by the sudden light, the four people quickly retreat.
Oh Se-yoon said.
“There are a lot more troops than I thought?”
“It’s okay. Most of them aren’t familiar with guns, so you don’t have to worry. They’re all normal people, so you just have to deal with Raon and the administrators. The problem is the troops that went out… I don’t know why they’re not coming back.”
As soon as Mr. Kim finished speaking, gunshots were heard.
There was fighting going on near the bridge overlooking the train station.
“What is that?”
“It looks like there was a fight with the believers. This might be a chance before the troops return. But I don’t know why they’re fighting so close. They’ve never crossed the bridge before.”
“Yeonhee, what are you going to do?”
While the two were talking, Yeonhee was deep in thought.
The troops who cannot return from an unexpected battle and the situation in paradise are in utter disarray.
Yeonhee’s gaze turned to the main gate.
Judging from my memory just before sunset, the main gate was less guarded than the other directions.
I don’t know if it was because there was a high fence around it or if they were waiting for the troops to return soon, but it was definitely like that.
“Let’s wait and see a little longer.”
“Why? Wouldn’t it be better to resolve this before the outside forces return, like you said?”
Yeonhee, who was looking at the battle in the distance, asked Kim.
“You said you’ve never crossed a bridge before?”
“Yes. If I go into detail, it’s complicated… … .”
“It’s because of the boss.”
Kay, who had been listening, suddenly interrupted.
“How do you know that?”
“When I ran away from paradise, you took me in. I’m a deliveryman, sir.”
“ah…….”
Kay, who was from Paradise, also knew Kim.
“Anyway, there shouldn’t have been any major fights since the boss warned us not to cross the line. I don’t know why they’re acting like that all of a sudden though.”
Yeonhee nodded.
I understand how things are going.
She gestured to her companions as she scanned the area near the bridge with her night vision binoculars.
“Let’s just get out of here. I’ve thought about what to do.”
“But, Yeonhee. You don’t have to do anything here. You saved your little brother, so you can go back to your colleagues.”
“No way. There are many reasons why that kid should die, besides Chanyeol. And Kei too.”
“Is that so?”
“How did you become a leader when you’re so reckless? Some crazy guy is manipulating people as he pleases, and you just let it go?”
“No, that’s not it… … Honestly, there are just too many of them. It’s bustling inside, but I’m worried because there are even crazier people outside.”
“Let’s play as we are, as we are.”
“Hey, are you like this because I’m scared? I’m not doing this because I’m afraid of what might happen to you.”
“Who is worried about whom… … .”
Yeonhee turned around, snorting.
* * *
Late at night, when thick darkness engulfed the city.
When the fighting on the bridge reached a lull.
Near the main gate of Paradise, a man who had hidden something in the grass was returning, shaking his hands.
The woman who was standing guard with him looked awkward, as if she was not used to the rifle.
How many minutes passed like that?
In the darkness, dark shapes began to approach.
They approached, avoiding the light, and did not hesitate or appear surprised when they saw the two people.
Rather, I passed through it naturally as if I was coming and going from my own home.
One of them corrects the posture of the woman who was on guard.
“A little to the side… yeah.”
“Yes, sister.”
The two people who were talking with affectionate eyes were none other than Yeonhee and Yukyung.
Then, the faces of Kay and Oh Se-yoon appear one after another.
Hanshin, who was disguised as a guard, points somewhere.
The only two-story house in town with lights on.
It was Raon’s residence.
At that moment, multiple gunshots began to ring out between the bridge and the train station.
It was close enough to be seen without a telescope.
As a loud noise like thunder filled the area, Yeonhee disappeared into the darkness with Kay and Oh Se-yoon.
It wasn’t difficult to get to Raon’s house.
With nearly half of the men missing and most of them defending the north and east, we were able to reach them without much difficulty.
Yeonhee, who had passed the empty camp and outpost, approached Raon’s house.
The front door was half open, and the overhead window was unlocked.
Armed men were visible in the outposts and outposts beyond the houses, but most of them were nodding off.
This was the reason why Yeonhee infiltrated at such a late hour in the first place.
After sending a signal to Kay and Oh Se-yoon, he steps on the kimchi crock placed under the window and climbs up.
And in an instant, he opened the window and entered the house.
Thud!
As I slowly closed the window, the sound of gunfire faded and the house became as quiet as a mouse.
Given the circumstances, it was clear that Raon would be watching the battle from upstairs.
She slowly climbs the stairs and pulls out a sharp dagger.
The sand grains stuck to the soles broke apart with a crunching sound.
Yeonhee, who was climbing up while pressed against the wall, stops in front of a bedroom with a terrace.
As I put my hand through the gap in the locked door, the bedroom scene slowly began to come into view.
A wide open terrace and curtains fluttering in the wind.
It was a sign that someone had been there until just now.
Right then.
Crunch!
“…Put down your sword and turn around slowly.”
An unfamiliar voice that came within a stone’s throw pierced the back of my head.
Yeonhee slowly raised both arms as if throwing the dagger down.
I’ve trained countless times to become more sensitive to human noise.
My senses were dulled by the sound of the wind coming in from the terrace.
Raon was standing in front of Yeonhee, who turned around.
Large eyes with a strange smile began to look her up and down.
The moment when the eyes that had been looking down return to the face.
fault!
Yeonhee grabbed the gun and the back of his hand at the same time and twisted his wrist in an instant.
Raon’s face turned pale as he let out a single scream and missed the gun.
He quickly pulled out his knife, but the gun had already been taken away.
A bitter smile appears on Yeonhee’s lips as she tilts her head.
That behavior seemed to mock him, as if he was asking what he was going to do now.
Raon is flustered and is about to say something.
“for a moment…….”
puck!
The tip of his foot suddenly flew in and got stuck in my throat, making it impossible for me to breathe.
The attack didn’t end with just one attack.
A foot flew towards his deeply hunched face and kicked him in the face without mercy.
puck!
Raon, whose nose was bleeding, quickly stepped back and waved his hands.
Yeonhee’s eyebrows furrow uncomfortably at the sight.
“… What, why are you so weak?”
“Now, just a moment!”
Did you get the wrong number?
Yeonhee looked at him closely, scratching her hair with the handle of the pistol.
“Wait a minute, what the hell. What’s your name?”
For a moment, Raon felt hopeful that he might be able to overcome the crisis.
This is because the other person seemed completely unaware of his true identity.
I was planning to lie first and then wait for an opportunity to inform the manager.
But that hope didn’t last long.
“Oh, that’s right. I said there’s only one guy here with a gun. You’re Raon, right?”
Raon, who decided that he had nowhere to return to, opened his eyes wide.
The panic and fear that had consumed his eyes disappeared, and the unique aura that had driven the survivors of Paradise into fear slowly rose up.
Step by step!
He took a few steps closer and immediately put his forehead against the muzzle of the gun.
“…Shoot.”
“what?”
“Shoot. If you can. If gunfire comes out of here, you’re finished too.”
“under…….”
Yeonhee’s eyes, which are leaking laughter, are wrinkled in annoyance.
It’s good to be bold, and it’s also good to act tough.
Because that’s what a leader should do.
But I just couldn’t ignore that tone of speech that seemed to ignore people.
There is a saying that adults have always said since ancient times.
They say that there is nothing like beating to fix a frizzy head.
Yeonhee pushed the gun away by poking its forehead with the muzzle and removed the magazine.
And the pistol was kicked into the bedroom, and the magazine that had fallen to the ground was kicked into the end of the hallway.
Raon, seeing that sight, quickly draws his sword.
On the other hand, Yeonhee, who had left the dagger in the bedroom, was empty-handed.
Whoosh!
Raon, who had quickly closed the distance, slashed his sword horizontally.
However, Yeonhee easily dodged it by simply shifting her center of gravity back.
The tip of the sword comes down again diagonally.
Yeonhee, who avoided the attack by bending her body to the left, puts Raon’s arm under her armpit as he goes down.
Then he grabbed my elbow and bent it upwards.
Ugh!
“Kwaaak!”
A scream burst out of Raon’s mouth as he dropped the knife in extreme pain.
As I struck his retreating shin with my heel, he fell backwards, holding onto his broken arm.
He took out the knife he had hidden with his remaining hand, but Yeonhee’s feet were faster.
Kwajik!
My fingernails were crushed to pieces by the heavy boots.
Raon, who had lost both his hands, crawled backwards frantically using his shoulders and hips.
“Fuck, fucking shit! Why are you doing this to me, you crazy bitch!”
Yeonhee nodded.
“That’s right. I’m a crazy bitch.”
“…what?”
“Originally, it’s the crazy bitch who catches the crazy guy. So… don’t feel too wronged. You’ve been living your life doing whatever you wanted.”
“So? You’re going to kill me here? Go ahead and try it. You won’t be able to get away with your limbs intact either.”
“Really? Then shall we make a bet?”
Raon, who was barely able to lean against the wall, wrinkled his nose and asked.
“What bet?”
“Let’s go out and see who will live and who will die. If you win, you will live. If I win, you will lose. In my hands.”
Raon, whose nose was bleeding profusely, started laughing like a crazy person.
Of course, not everyone in paradise follows him.
In order to strengthen the sense of belonging and solidarity of the survivors, and for the sake of their own power, there were many cases of killing people by falsely accusing them.
But even though they were their friends and family, they were only a small minority in the whole.
And once you leave this house, the managers won’t stay still.
At first, I was curious about the situation outside the house.
But the fact that not a single gunshot has been fired until this point.
There was a high possibility that the number of enemies was small, or that they were caught by the administrators without even being able to launch a proper attack.
Even though half of the troops had left for the train station, many still remained in Paradise.
“Okay. There’s nothing else to say.”
“of course.”
With those words, Yeonhee collected the daggers, pistols, and ammunition scattered here and there.
And then he went downstairs with his gun pointed at the back of Raon’s neck.
In the living room, something else was happening.
Aren’t the few administrators of paradise all kneeling?
In front of them, whose faces were covered in bruises, Oh Se-yoon and Kay were seen standing leisurely.
Kay’s head suddenly turns as she chews gum with her arms crossed.
Raon, who met his eyes, also looked quite embarrassed.
“You ran away back then… … .”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“You’re still alive.”
“I don’t think this is the time to just exchange greetings.”
Raon, who followed Kay’s gestures, only then discovered the managers kneeling down.
A sigh of frustration bursts from his lips.
The command center of paradise collapsed on the shoulders of just three people.
But it was still too early to give up hope.
The outside forces haven’t returned yet, and there are still a lot of people guarding the town.
Even if he were to take me hostage, the situation would quickly turn around.
No, I thought that would be the case.
That moment.
Pot! Pot! Pot!
The once dark paradise began to brighten as if it were a lie.
The streetlights erected on the street began to emit light one by one.
A loud loudspeaker noise follows.
“All survivors of Paradise, please gather in the open space! Everyone, please gather without exception!”
The owner of that voice was Joshua.
