Infected - Chapter 512

Episode 511

Four people sitting around a round table.

A map torn from the wall lay spread out on the table.

The head of the podium, which had been sprinkled with colorful round magnets, explained the operation in detail.

“Based on Kay’s opinion, people will come from Gangbuk as early as this evening, or at the latest tomorrow morning. Brother, request 10,000 reinforcement troops from Gangbuk.”

Gongdu moved the red magnet that was across the Han River to the vaccine center.

Then he pushed the black magnet over his own power.

“10,000 from Gangbuk, 3,000 for us, and… … .”

This time it was Paradise in Songpa.

“Hundreds of people from Paradise will follow the woman named Yeonhee and come up from the south. Approximately 13,000 troops. With this, we must put an end to the nameless sect.”

“What about the other side?”

“The southern terminal and the soldiers are unlikely to move. That’s how it has been since the beginning. It’s best not to expect anything. And the nameless sect has probably started its holy war by now… … .”

Gongdu drew an X shape with thick magic marker to mark the southern terminal and the soldiers’ base.

“It’s just a matter of time before it collapses.”

“How can we help those people?”

“No. It’s too late.”

“hmm…….”

Jaejae, who was looking down at the map, fiddled with his lower jaw.

What the anonymous sect is trying to do is to organize the nearby forces.

What was strange to Finance was that they had discovered the identity of the public servants and yet had left them alone.

Anyway, if the southern terminal and soldiers near the holy land are not of a belligerent disposition, it would be right to deal with the enemies that pose an immediate threat first.

That was when.

dripping!

The unexpected knock caused Jae-jae, Kay, and Hyun-tae’s gaze to turn.

Only Gongdu was looking at the map with an indifferent expression.

He muttered as he fiddled with the magnet.

“Come in.”

The door slams open with a creaking sound.

The person standing beyond was none other than Jay.

She, who was holding the scabbard, bowed her head toward Gongdu and entered the room.

“Sit down.”

“yes.”

Gongdu started introducing himself as soon as Jay sat down.

“This is Jay, who works in delivery just like Kay. Jay, this is Han Jae-jung from the vaccine center. Please say hello.”

“hello.”

Finance responded with a silent nod, keeping eye contact.

“For a long time, Jay has been in constant contact with the Anonymous Church. To put it simply, he is a double agent. He is a believer there, and a courier here.”

Kay’s eyes widened when she heard those words.

“Huh? What did you say?”

“It’s just as I heard.”

“No, sir. A double agent? Why would you trust Jay… .”

“Jay has been like that from the beginning. He started out with that plan.”

Kay’s eyes, blinking, turned to her.

“You… how could you hide it from me until the end?”

“Of course I should hide it. What did you say?”

“Then fly from the rooftop!”

Kay, who had jumped up, closed her eyes tightly and sat down again.

“…you tried to kill me.”

“If you were going to kill me, you wouldn’t be here. Don’t get me wrong. I let that slide.”

“Boss, how could you keep a secret from me? How could you keep a secret from me, not someone else… .”

“What about you? You broke the rules. You should be grateful that the boss spared you without holding you accountable. Don’t you think so?”

Kay couldn’t refute those words.

Jay didn’t stop.

“If you think about the favors you’ve received from the boss, you wouldn’t be able to whine like that. You’ve always been like that. You’re always so hasty and emotional that I can’t trust you with anything.”

“that…….”

“Both of you stop.”

When Gongdu, who had been listening intently, spoke softly, the two lowered their heads as if nothing had happened.

Gongdu apologized to Jaejae with a short sigh.

“I’m sorry, brother. I think I acted like this because I teased the kids too much.”

“No, it’s okay. People live the same everywhere. But it’s a lot better than our kids. At least they don’t try to kill each other or gaslight each other. If we leave it alone, someone will end up being found dead.”

“ah…….”

A brief silence fell over the round table where five people were sitting.

“Ahem! Anyway, you came at a good time, Jay. Let’s get started.”

“yes.”

Jay bowed his head once again and pointed to the holy place on the map.

“As you said, I left the note right after meeting Nahan. Now, I think you’ve noticed the presence of the CEO and the location of this place. And I’ve downplayed the scale of Gangbuk to a reasonable extent. You probably won’t care too much. After destroying the southern terminal and the soldiers, your power will grow even bigger. But… … .”

“however?”

“The strange thing is that when I met him to leak information, Nahan was already preparing for the temple.”

“So what you’re saying is that you may have known my identity before?”

“Yes. It shouldn’t have been that long. There may be a spy within our forces.”

Gongdu’s eyes were distorted uncomfortably.

As the safe zone grew, we carefully investigated the survivors who were absorbed.

It was true that if you deliberately deceive, you wouldn’t know.

“I know what you mean. Report to Kay too.”

“The leader of Gangbuk and Yeonhee took control of Paradise, and Raon died. The Russians, who were the biggest problem, were absorbed more easily than expected. Paradise is currently in a state where it is ready to go to war with the Nameless Church.”

“What on earth is it about this woman named Yeonhee that makes things progress so quickly?”

“That… It’s hard for me to put it into words. I didn’t even know he had that kind of charisma until we started dating.”

After hearing the report, Gongdu’s gaze turned to Jaejae.

“Is that woman your brother’s person?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you that kind of person?”

“No. I don’t know what happened either. I think I’ll have to meet him to find out more details.”

“Well… It seems there’s something I don’t know. Anyway, to summarize, that’s it. The Nameless Church currently knows my identity and location, and they also know that reinforcements will arrive from Gangbuk. That’s why they’re trying to quickly eliminate the surrounding forces. In simple terms, they’re buying each other time for a big fight. Time for the Nameless Church to clear out the surroundings, and time for reinforcements to arrive from Gangbuk.”

Gongdu continued speaking, scratching his forehead.

“The problem is after this war ends. I may be getting ahead of myself, but I don’t know what kind of attitude Gangbuk, who helped me, will take. Furthermore, they have already integrated all the survivors, so things could go in an unexpected direction.”

“I… sir, you don’t have to worry about that.”

Kay spoke carefully.

“What are you talking about?”

“That guy can’t do anything to Yeonhee noona. He still follows her around like a subordinate, but at least you don’t have to worry about that part.”

“A leader is someone who follows women around?”

“I think there’s a backstory that I don’t know about, and I haven’t figured out the details. Anyway, this is for sure. I think it’ll be fine to use all 50,000 people.”

“There must be a price. A price for receiving help. There must be something the two of you promised.”

“There is, but that’s a bit… … .”

Kay scratched her forehead with an embarrassed expression.

“What is that?”

“I decided to go flower viewing.”

“…what?”

“I said I would go flower viewing with you on the condition that you help me. I know it’s a bit much even if I say it myself, but that’s the only condition. There was no other talk.”

“Jay, you met that girl too. How was it?”

“He’s quite a unique person. The vibe he gives off is also something I’ve never seen before. When I first met him in Gangbuk, he didn’t show any sign of panic the whole time he was following me. I think it would be the same even if someone tried to kill him. And the story about the flower viewing is true.”

“Is it that pretty?”

“Yes. A bit much for my age… … .”

With those words, silence fell again in the room.

While the three people were doing that.

Finance was staring at Gongdu intently.

After meeting K and Jay, I felt like I knew for sure.

Gongdu knew everything from the beginning.

Even if I really didn’t know about what happened at the apartment complex and the story related to Yeonhee.

I knew from the beginning that Gangbuk would help me with finances, and I planned to use that to wage war against the Nameless Church.

I suddenly became curious.

Is the nature of Gongdu that Kay spoke of really one of not having any greed at all?

Can a person do that?

Even when shaking hands while looking at the map, Gongdu didn’t mention Jay.

I also hid the fact that I already knew about the existence of Gangbuk.

This is not the end of winning the war against the Anonymous Church.

As Gongdu said earlier, when the war ends, a new phase begins.

Gongdu, Gangbuk, and their party.

It’s going to be a three-way battle, whether you like it or not.

Of the three, the most appealing one is, of course, the vaccine development that the group is currently working on.

Besides, since the group is made up of only a few people, isn’t it too easy prey?

Another thing that concerned me was the person who was the leader of Gangbuk.

Even though Yeonhee is known to be a good dancer, she probably wouldn’t have crossed the river just for one date.

Humans can’t be that simple.

If he had been that kind of person from the beginning, he would not have been able to unify Gangbuk.

When my thoughts reached this point.

Finance has realized that this is a very important turning point.

If you don’t have separate insurance, you don’t know what kind of crisis might come.

Gongdu, who had been observing Jae-jae’s gaze, opened his mouth again.

“If people come from Gangbuk, please set a date, hyung.”

“okay.

“K, as soon as the date is set, report to me and go to Paradise. Then, I will send Jay to Nahan to spread false information. We will rush them all at once a few days before the date that the nameless sect finds out.”

Kay and Jay bowed their heads at the same time.

“Brother, do you have any good plans?”

Jae-jae, who had been listening intently, stared at Gong-du.

At that moment, a good idea occurred to me.

He kicked away the magnet placed on the map and pointed his finger at both the riverside and the city center.

“Gangbuk, go to the riverside, you take the ring road to Songpa and join Yeonhui. Then attack from both sides at the same time. The nameless sect will probably be out of their minds. There will be a lot more people attacking from both sides than they thought. In the meantime, our people, Gongdu, Hyeontae, and the fast people you’ve selected, go straight to the holy land through the sewer. Do you understand what I mean?”

“So you’re trying to take advantage of the absence of troops in the Holy Land to destroy the religious order?”

“okay.”

Gongdu, who had been looking intently at the map, nods his head.

“Good idea. I have some guys who are good for the job. I’ll bring all the other couriers with me, except Kay and Jay.”

“I’ll choose the earliest possible date. I’m in the middle of a temple right now, so I have to rush in without any time to recover.”

“All right.”

“As you said, the key to this task is speed. The same goes for the forces closing in on both sides. We can’t afford to feel like we’re wasting time. Let’s rendezvous at the Holy Land as quickly as possible.”

“I understand. Oh, and brother.”

Gongdu continued speaking with a look on his face as if something had come to mind.

“How far along is the vaccine development?”

“Why is that?”

“It’s just personal curiosity.”

Finance snorted.

“There are no results to speak of yet. Everyone is working hard, so there will be news soon.”

“I heard that it is under development in Gangbuk. Is it true that it is being developed at the center?”

“Why? You don’t believe me?”

Gongdu smiled and waved his hand.

“No, that’s not true. I just want to know the exact information. As you know, I’m very sensitive to information.”

“It doesn’t matter where it’s made. What matters is whether it’s developed or not. Isn’t that right?”

“sure.”

“Don’t get me wrong. You may not know it, but I’m a bit sensitive to vaccines.”

Gongdu, who sensed the ominous atmosphere, did not ask any more questions.

He just forced a smile with the corners of his lips raised.

Shortly after Finance and Kay returned to the center.

Jay came to see Gongdu after he had finished seeing him off.

“president.”

“say.”

In front of an iron plate placed in a hollow space.

Gongdu, who was watching Jae-yi’s back slowly moving away, answered in a mumbling tone.

It was a completely different atmosphere from when we had the operational meeting with Finance.

Jay, who came close, hands me a small piece of paper.

“Information about the various forces spread throughout the Gyeonggi area.”

“Are you sure you found out?”

“Yes. This is information we found by sending a team out for a week.”

Gongdu unfolded the paper and slowly read the contents.

“Wow… this is going so well.”

“What should we do? Should we send people?”

“No. Wait until I give you further instructions.”

“But… why didn’t he tell the boss about this?”

“Well, shouldn’t we each have something to hide from each other?”

“I heard that the two of you promised to be together.”

“Yes, definitely. That’s why it’s more fun. Once you know what the other person is hiding, you can see what they’re thinking.”

Gongdu’s empty eyes look toward the city center.

“What do you think will happen in the future?”

“Well, I don’t know anymore after meeting that person. But are you going to leave Kay alone?”

“Let it be. It’s not a bad idea to risk your life on your own choices. In a world where everything is ruined anyway.”

Jay bowed his head and stepped back without saying a word.
