Infected - Chapter 493

Episode 492

Chanyeol, carrying a loudspeaker, arrived at a dark, empty lot with Sua.

Around that time.

Raon’s faint screams could be heard from the second floor of the house, but no one was able to hear them because they were all nodding off.

“I’ll do it.”

“No, I will do it.”

Su-ah, who had snatched the loudspeaker, shook her head.

“It’s dangerous, Sister. You never know what might happen. If something goes wrong, the person who’s talking on the loudspeaker will be the first to be attacked.”

“No, Chanyeol. Everyone is too tired for that. Don’t worry.”

Su-ah continued speaking, looking toward the dark north.

“And if it weren’t for you, I would have continued to live here, conforming. I wouldn’t have had this opportunity. So I’ll do this. I came here before you. Trust me.”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

Su-ah smiled faintly.

“Of course. I don’t think I’ll be protected just because I’m a woman. I just stayed still yesterday because I didn’t know how to shoot a gun. So don’t try to step forward just because you’re a man. Where are the differences between men and women in survival? And I’m a former student council executive.”

Chanyeol looked at Sua, who was winking one eye, and swallowed what he was about to say.

It wasn’t just that he wanted to protect Soo-ah because she was a woman.

I just hope that my loved ones are not in danger.

But I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud.

“…all right.”

“I’m ready, so go and turn on the generator switch.”

Chanyeol nodded and disappeared into the darkness.

After a while.

He reached a large generator set up in the corner of the vacant lot and pushed up the bar that said ‘Public Electricity’.

Pot! Pot! Pot!

Electricity stretches up and down the vacant lot, passing through several streetlights.

The lights that stretched from the main gate to the northern foot of the mountain brightly illuminated paradise.

Immediately after that.

Su-ah’s voice, using the power of a loudspeaker, spread widely in the quiet empty lot.

“All survivors of Paradise, please gather in the open space! Everyone, please gather without exception!”

As a result of running around the empty lot with a loudspeaker and shouting.

A huge crowd began to pour into the empty lot.

Those who saw her were immediately divided into two.

Upon arrival, there was the side aiming the rifle and the side trying to hear what they were trying to say.

Su-ah confidently walked forward in front of the people.

Through the loudspeaker, Su-ah’s breathing, which was heavy as she ran around the empty lot, was leaking out in a colorful manner.

“I know everyone is confused right now, but please listen to my story. If you still can’t forgive me after hearing my story, then I’ll kill you as much as I want. Is that okay?”

From Paradise’s perspective, it was a situation where they could pull the trigger at any time if they wanted to.

Aren’t we already overwhelming in every way, from numbers to weapons?

But despite all this commotion, the absence of Raon, who was nowhere to be seen, made people even more anxious.

It seemed that I had lost the will to make my own choices because I had been forced to do things for so long.

Eventually, the gun barrels pointed at Su-ah began to fall to the floor one by one.

Even those who held out until the end had no choice but to lower their guns after seeing the reactions of those around them.

Something hot surged through Su-ah’s chest as she saw that sight.

In a paradise that had been run erratically, common sense was prevailing for the first time.

Could it be because of the overwhelming emotions?

Su-ah’s voice trembled as it reverberated through the loudspeaker.

“Thank you. Thank you very much. First, let me tell you the most important thing. Raon will appear in the vacant lot soon. He will not come out to oppress, persecute, and threaten us as he has done so far, but to be judged for his sins.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people became greatly agitated.

If what Su-ah said is true, it means that someone has captured Ra-on and made him unable to resist.

People have really strange sides.

When we are oppressed and crushed, we long for freedom, but when the fence is about to disappear, we are unable to find our way.

It was the same even now.

What could be heard in the commotion was not joy over Raon’s downfall, but concern over the new changes.

“Yes, that’s right. The people who killed the managers and guards yesterday to save us are now in Paradise. But they are different from Raon. They are people who came here on their own feet from the northern part of Gyeonggi Province to save Chanyeol. They are not people who kill living people to prevent mutations, nor people who kill anyone by associating them with the Anonymous Sect to solidify their own positions. They are people who risked their lives without hesitation to save just one person.”

Chanyeol’s eyes shook greatly as he listened to SuA’s loud voice resonating as if appealing.

The way he speaks calmly and without any hesitation even in front of suspicious eyes.

It was like a ray of light to Chanyeol.

“It’s been half a year since we survived the virus. During that time, we lost our families, friends, and homes. Perhaps it’s the inevitable loss that survivors must experience, but we’ve become more accustomed to losing than gaining. Countless people have already died. But there’s one thing that we can never lose, even if we lose everything in the world.”

Su-ah took a deep breath and hit her chest with her palm.

“That is me. The original form that I remember. Even if zombies cover the world and the living point guns at each other, it doesn’t mean that everyone will become like that. We must protect ourselves until the end. Look around you. There are children in paradise. For the sake of those children, we must make the right decisions as adults. If we do something wrong, we must correct it. If we make a mistake, we must admit it and turn back. And today is the beginning.”

Su-ah appealed passionately until her throat was hoarse.

Contrary to expectations that there would be some degree of backlash.

None of the people gathered in the empty lot opened their mouths.

All I could do was wait for the next words to come out.

“… If we miss this opportunity, we will once again have to live like cattle confined in a fence. I am not talking about democracy now. This has nothing to do with ideology or thought. It is a matter of survival, where life and death intersect. So, if there is an outstanding person, it is natural for him to lead the whole. It is also true that we must join forces and run toward a single goal. However, Raon is wrong. Raon has always demanded the sacrifice of the cow for the whole. He has left himself out of that sacrifice. Here in paradise… there are many people who have lost friends and family in that way.”

Sobbing could be heard from all over.

Some were sympathizing, putting their rifles down on the ground.

“If someone has to get sick in order for us to survive, then that means I have to sacrifice myself for someone else. That’s not living. I didn’t come all the way here to escape the zombies just to live like this. You might be wondering why I escaped paradise. The first reason was that I found out my father was alive, and the second reason was that I wanted to live like a human being. I didn’t want to live every day, under surveillance and minding my surroundings, from the moment I opened my eyes until I closed them, so I escaped. But why did I come back? All I had to do was go see my father, so why did I risk my life to come back?”

Su-ah took off the loudspeaker and let out a long sigh.

Then he wiped his eyes and continued speaking slowly.

“… It’s because of you. You are only a small part of my life, but you were my colleagues and comrades who helped me endure the persecution of Raon. That’s why I couldn’t leave like this. I thought I would regret it for the rest of my life if another unjust death occurred after I left, so I came back.”

Su-ah’s sad eyes scanned the countless pupils.

“Everyone, Seoul is changing. Just as Raon collapsed, the Nameless Church will soon collapse as well. We too must follow suit, forget our past mistakes, and start anew. How do I know that the Nameless Church will collapse? I know thanks to the people who helped me and the people who are now capturing Raon. There are also the delivery people, the people from the vaccine center, and the leader who is leading 50,000 survivors in Gangbuk. They told me that the Nameless Church will collapse soon.”

Everyone seemed quite surprised by the number 50,000.

“Is that all? As soon as they heard about the situation in Paradise, they set out to kill Raon. Five people decided to go to war against Paradise to help a total stranger. How could I not follow these people?”

Right then.

A sound of something being dragged was heard from in front of Raon’s house, located on the north side of the vacant lot.

“Let go! Let go! I said I’m walking! You crazy bitch! Let go!”

At the sudden commotion, the crowd surrounding the empty lot split left and right.

And Yeonhee appeared, holding Raon’s nape, along the long passageway that people had created.

“I only see this baby!”

A voice possessed by evil echoes through the empty lot.

Raon, who had been beaten up even more, twists his limbs and rebels.

People swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

Even though I knew that Raon was in a state where he couldn’t resist, I was already nervous just from the fact that he had appeared.

That’s how great Raon’s tyranny was.

Behind the managers who were walking in a line, Kay and Oh Se-yoon were standing.

The managers just walked around silently like criminals, unable to even look at people.

Some people who discovered Kay avoid his eyes.

They were all the people who turned away when Kay’s friend was falsely accused.

At the main gate, Hanshin and Yukyung were coming up with Kim, supporting Daeung.

With this, everyone in paradise, except for the outside forces, gathered in one place.

Yeonhee, who had passed through the crowd and reached the center of the open space, pushed Raon’s chest with her foot.

Then he lined up the managers with their heads bowed.

“… … .”

A heavy silence fell.

The people watched in silence as the leader who had built paradise and fought against the nameless religion fell.

But Raon’s breath was still there.

Every time he glared at them with blood dripping down his face, everyone was busy avoiding their gaze.

Right then.

puck!

Yeonhee, who had hit the back of his head without mercy, spoke roughly.

“Look what you’re doing, you little punk. The bet’s over. Can’t you see the mood? I can shoot you right here and now and no one will stop you.”

“Don’t be a jerk! What do you know? Do you know how much I worked hard to build paradise? Everyone, tell me something! What did I do so wrong? If it weren’t for me, those who would have been killed by zombies on the street dare to betray me? Hey, everyone, look me in the eye. I’m not going to die like this! Fuck, I’m going to remember every single face! Got it?”

When Yeonhee, who couldn’t stand hearing the swearing, was about to hit him again.

Something flew between the people.

Snap!

It was a stone.

“evil!”

Blood was flowing out of Raon’s forehead.

The man who threw the stone screams, his face shaking.

“Hey, you little shit! What the hell did you do? It was all our fault. You just sat there and ordered us around, and we did all the work!”

“What? This is crazy… … .”

Snap!

Raon, who was trying to stand up, was hit by a stone flying from a different direction and quickly crouched down.

“Betrayal? Who betrays whom? How many people have died because of you? Is it something a human being would do to kill his friends and family with his own hands? Everyone, please say something!”

A middle-aged woman shouted with an evil look on her face.

Then, as if by magic, rocks started flying from all directions.

Raon was rolling on the floor, bleeding and screaming, but the people did not stop.

Some turned their heads away, wondering if it was too much, but they were only a very small minority.

When there were no more stones to grab, people looked around to find something to throw.

Everyone had such a fierce murderous spirit that it was hard to believe they had been oppressed by Raon all this time.

Meanwhile.

Someone removed the magazine from the rifle and threw it away.

Starting with that, dozens of bullets flew towards Raon.

“Stop it! Stop it, you crazy bastards! Aaak!”

Raon crouched down, screaming evilly.

But I couldn’t cover my head with just two hands.

Soon the back of his head was split open, his face was torn open, and red blood gushed out from his neck where the corner of the magazine had been stuck.

and…….

Raon, who had been on the verge of death, opened his eyes wide and twisted his limbs.

Crunch! Crunch!

Kwaaak!

He stands up as a zombie and looks around, roaring madly.

Wherever his gaze fell, retreating crowds rippled like waves.

Even though he was throwing rocks and bullets without any hesitation, it seemed like he had no idea that Raon would actually die.

At that moment, Yeonhee’s voice flew through the tension.

“What are you doing, I’m here.”
