Infected - Chapter 550



Only Noblemtl

Side story episode 37

Under the flares, the street is filled with silence.

At that moment, the surrounded major’s soldiers were swallowing dry saliva.

Finance came out trudging with his rifle slung over his shoulder.

The shadows on her face had deepened, and the corners of her eyes, worn down by the passage of time, had softened and drooped.

But the sharp eyes were even more unique.

Jae-jae, who has transformed from a UDT and detective to a zombie slayer and a true apocalypse expert.

His large eyes, which are difficult to even look at, are directed at the major.

“If you see my brother, you should pretend to know him, you punk.”

“… … .”

The major had no choice but to grind his teeth.

Yet I couldn’t say a word in response.

They say enemies meet on a single-log bridge.

The object of revenge that was so desired and longed for.

Even though I tore and killed him tens of millions of times in my dreams.

The major, however, could do nothing even though they were right in front of him.

The fact that Jae-gye has appeared means that he knows the inside story of everything in Seoul.

I had to cool down.

One mistake could have resulted in the annihilation of more than 10,000 troops.

Because they are people who still do that.

“Answer me, Inma.”

“I, I am only following orders!”

The major shouted with courage.

The sight was so vile that the faces of the soldiers engaged in a standoff turned around.

But the major remained steadfast.

The soldiers don’t know.

How cruel and sophisticated those monsters are.

How much time has been invested in building up a force that can stand up to Seoul?

Finance nodded.

Then he wiggled his fingers behind his back.

A man being dragged by a soldier at the signal.

He was none other than Spotted.

Finance said, grabbing the spotted man’s hair as he knelt down.

“You know what? Man, this is scary. Do you want to use these bloody bastards to do this? This is why I hate you. You punks.”

“What is a thug, a thug. It makes the listener uncomfortable… .”

Beomsik, who was standing behind, muttered with a distorted face.

Whatever.

Finance threw the dot to the floor and aimed for its head.

A cruel smile spreads across his lips.

“So, what do you want to do? Do you want to get killed here, or do you want to follow me quietly?”

“… What? Follow me?”

The major’s eyes trembled.

“Or let’s just do it cool.”

As soon as Jae-jae finished speaking, the thousands of people who had been gathered behind him simultaneously raised their guns.

Before long, the intersection that the priest had been blocking was filled with armed soldiers.

A situation where an army of 10,000 men is surrounded by a fort on all sides.

The major had an intuition that finance had been involved in everything from the beginning.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get this completely done.

A dark shadow fell over his eyes as he sighed.

“… If I fail anyway, I’ll die.”

“Yeah. You’re going to die anyway. But what about the others? They need to live.”

Finance asked the soldiers standing on either side of the road.

He tried to look calm and aimed his gun, but he couldn’t hide the fear in his eyes.

“Think carefully.”

“This fight won’t end with just me being killed. What they want is balance. Your family members are currently in the safe zone under the mountain. If you just take them and go up quietly, we won’t intervene anymore.”

Then Finance perked up his ears.

“Well, that’s not my decision to make.”

“what?”

“Hey, what is the role of adults? Isn’t it the role of adults to create an environment where children can do whatever they want? If you just nag them not to do something, are you an adult?”

“When children go down the wrong path, adults are the ones who correct them.”

“Ah, that’s enough. You old bastard. What am I talking about with you? Just wipe them all out. I’ll only take the survivors up as prisoners.”

“wait for a sec!”

The major shouted sadly at the turning finances.

“What now! Why does that kid talk so much?”

“Ha, I surrender!”

“so?”

“I surrender!”

“So what do you want me to do? Speak clearly.”

As the major kept his mouth shut as if he had eaten honey, Beomsik and his party, who could no longer stand to watch, added a word each.

“What are you doing? My legs are numb!”

“Comrade Captain. Just give the order. I’ll wring that talkative little brat’s balls out right now.”

“Why bother twisting my balls again? Just shoot me and kill me.”

“That’s true.”

When Gongdu frowned as if he was annoyed, Lee Taeseong smiled awkwardly.

“then…….”

The major barely managed to speak after seeing them.

“I’ll leave behind all my weapons and armored vehicles. This should be enough.”

At that moment, the spotted cat, who had been quietly kneeling, began to lash out at the major.

“What are you doing?

“What are you?

As Jae-gye waved his hand, Hyun-soo ran over and knocked Dot-bak over, then stepped on his neck.

Excessive finances for two people light a cigarette.

On the asphalt, a spotted dog with its face down was trembling with an evil expression on its face.

It felt strange seeing that sight, as if I was seeing Beomsik from over a decade ago.

A devil that won’t die no matter how much you step on it.

“Okay. I’ll accept it if you give me everything you have and go back. But… … .”

Finance snapped his finger at the major.

“You follow me.”

“… Me? Why me?”

“Oh, this really pisses me off. Why does this captive kid have so many questions?”

As Jae-jae walked forward, aiming his rifle, his face distorted like that of an animal, the major took a step back.

“Oh, no. I’ll do that. I’ll follow you. Just send the kids safely.”

“Hurry up and do it, time is running out.”

The major slowly turned and looked at his commanders.

The charisma that was shown while sitting in Letona has disappeared.

A gentle lamb begging for its life in front of a wild beast was looking at them.

“Everyone, disarm and come back!”

It’s worth catching at least one person.

None of the commanders reached out to him.

They were all putting down their weapons in unison, as if they had been preparing for such a moment.

“You crazy kid! Hey! What are you doing!”

Meanwhile, the spotted one continued to scream incessantly.

The major approached Jaegye with a bitter expression.

There was a good reason for sending the troops back with himself as bait.

What matters is people, not weapons.

It would be much more beneficial to give up supplies than to lose 10,000 troops.

I thought that then they would come to my rescue.

Anyway, it would be difficult for the finances and party to accommodate 10,000 prisoners.

Besides, they won’t treat you roughly now, even for interrogation.

No, I knew it.

puck!

The major fell to the floor at the sudden kick of the finances.

I couldn’t breathe after being hit in the face.

“Ugh… … .”

After being beaten several more times, his hands were finally tied up.

“Put them on a truck like this.”

“All right.”

Soldiers carrying rifles dragged the major and the spotted man by the back of their necks.

Even after boarding the cargo ship, the two continued to swear at each other without stopping.

It was early dawn, with daylight slowly breaking.

*???*???*

A long time after that.

Gaon was lost in thought as he listened to the governor’s story.

No matter what he said, other thoughts were running through my head.

“… You have nothing to gain from this war either. Right? If you back down like this, we won’t even go up to Seoul. We could form a negotiating team and have a talk.”

A day and a half ago.

It was when I was going out to deliver the meeting place in order to uncover the spy.

A small note on the desk caught Gaon’s attention.

That was Hyunsoo’s handwriting.

This was the reason why we decided to set the meeting place at the ridge in the first place.

When Gaon, who set off first, arrived at the ridge.

Hyunsoo was waiting there.

“If the war drags on like this, it’s Sanha who will lose. It can’t be helped. You’re starting to feel it too. Now that you’ve led the troops, there’s no one left to protect Sanha. Listen to me. I’m a politician.”

As soon as Hyunsoo met Gaon, he delivered a message of gratitude.

Don’t delay and destroy the governor’s safety zone.

The new enemy that suddenly appeared was to leave it to the adults and do what they were doing.

Gaon felt a strange emotion that he couldn’t express in words.

Just like Beom-sik’s promise to always be by her side when she was young.

This time, Jaejae and his group silently watched Gaon and Seonwoo.

It was already starting to get a bit burdensome.

If things continue this way, the real fight will start from now on.

No matter how great your abilities are, it is not easy to fight with enemies on both sides.

Isn’t it a situation where one side hasn’t even found its home base?

The presence of Jaejae and his party that appeared at that time was indescribably great.

Beyond a fight worth fighting, it was now becoming a war that had to be won.

“This is your last chance. If you stop here, I’ll let you go. Why? You’re like bombs to me. If you mess up even one of them, how are you going to deal with the consequences? Good is good. The safe zone should be a sea of ​​fire by now. Go back. I’ll really let you go.”

Gaon waited for the radio transmission, pretending to listen to the governor’s words.

It didn’t matter what he said.

No matter what you say, there will be no negotiation.

That’s how Gaon learned.

There are people who should negotiate and people who shouldn’t.

Now was the time.

In order to deal with the third force, it was absolutely necessary to purge the governor and the leadership.

To turn the situation from 1:2 to 2:1.

Right then.

Chijijik!

[Governor! A huge army has appeared at the North Gate!]

The governor, who had been sitting leisurely, suddenly sat up.

Then he held out his hand with wide eyes.

“Radiator, quick!”

All composure disappeared from the governor’s face.

He receives the walkie-talkie and asks urgently.

“A great general! What are you talking about!”

[More than all the enemies attacking from the east and west combined!]

“Stop it! Anything!”

[Okay, we’ve even brought the armored vehicle! We’ll move all the troops we’ve spread out inside to the north!]

“ha…….”

The governor stared at Gaon and then closed his eyes tightly.

“… Is this also your work?”

“I didn’t do it.”

“You must have moved from Seoul. Since when?”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

“How on earth did you do that? You were with Sanha all this time. You must not have had any contact with Seoul. If you had, I should have known first.”

“Yeah. I wonder what happened.”

Gaon’s eyes looked down dryly.

The governor, seeing those eyes, realized that death was imminent.

The fact that Seoul’s troops had come this far meant that ‘they’ had failed to stop it or had never stopped it in the first place.

He slowly gets up and truds to his desk.

“… I guess I should leave a will. I have been guarding this place for over ten years, ever since I was governor.”

The governor put his left hand into a drawer.

The moment the hand holding the pen and paper rose above the desk.

Taang!

An ear-splitting gunshot rang out in the quiet room.

There are three people with guns.

The governor, with his eyes wide open, falls down while standing there dumbfounded.

thud!

With a red dot stamped on the forehead.

Everyone inside saw white smoke rising from Gaon’s gun.

And then when I saw the governor’s body again.

In his right hand he held a black pistol.

A safe zone that has been advancing from the south to the north over the years.

The governor who led the safe zone and was respected and feared by the survivors ended his life like that.

The leaders, their faces ashen, could not move from their seats.

The governor died.

This was a development I had never thought of.

Outside the window, gunshots like thunder rumble across the northern sky.

A torrent of radio waves and the screams contained within them.

When the leadership heard that sound, they sensed defeat.

“…we lost.”

One of them lowered his head.

Gaon put the radio down on the table.

The intention was that if you were going to declare defeat, you should do so officially via radio.

My trembling hands hold the radio.

It was the moment when the governor’s safe zone disappeared into the back alleys of history.
