Infected - Chapter 554



Only Noblemtl

Side story episode 41

“There have been many difficulties.”

An interior dominated by yellow light.

Someone’s voice echoed across the long table where five people were sitting.

“As we have seen this time, things don’t always go as planned. But we have been preparing for all possible scenarios for a long time. If we have reacted to their pace so far, from now on, they will move according to our pace.”

At his words, the four people bowed their heads in silence.

“Make sure to receive as much support as you can from other forces. In particular, you need to have a lot of people. They’ve started to move in Seoul, and the balance has been broken, so we need to be fully prepared.”

“Should we order the spies to begin their operation?”

“No. Not yet. You have to use it when it’s crucial, so save it for the end. By now, they’ll know about the spy’s existence. If you act foolishly, there’s a high chance that you’ll end up doing nothing. What happened to Gyeongbuk?”

The man sitting at the head of the table turned his gaze toward the woman.

It was a middle-aged woman whom Gaon had met in an alley.

“We’re doing our best to make sure everything goes according to plan. We should probably arrive sometime tomorrow.”

“I hope other regions are progressing without a hitch?”

“Of course.”

The other three answered, bowing their heads.

“As you all know, I have no intention of starting a war. I have to end it before then. There’s no point in getting something after everything is destroyed and dead. It’s better to shake it back and forth and let it collapse naturally.”

“All right.”

“We will take this opportunity to create a new balance by suppressing Seoul’s power.”

“Um… After this is over, who will take control of Seoul?”

The man with the bushy beard asked cautiously.

“I will decide based on performance.”

It was a short answer, but it contained a lot.

The four people sitting around began to look at each other.

Of course, none of these people directly became the owners of Seoul, but there were many advantages to managing the region.

Seoul, in particular, had a lot to gain because it was rich in energy and materials.

So, anyone can’t help but be greedy.

“Manage the personnel planted in each force well, and be prepared to respond to any emergency situation at any time.”

“all right.”

The four bowed their heads once again.

These were forces without substance.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the five people gathered here are all there are.

However, the power and influence of the organized crime groups that had been in power for 10 years were truly enormous.

Of course, there were quite a few who tried to hit me in the back of the head.

Each time, spies who had been active for a long time played that role very well.

It’s been filtering and filtering for years.

There was no place among the forces formed in South Korea that was beyond their reach.

They could assassinate the leader at any time if they wanted to, and they could even create unrest internally.

Moreover, because the organization was a point-based organization where the organization managed the organization, finding the roots was virtually impossible.

The eyes of the four people who stood up were burning with determination.

* * *

A torture chamber within the safe zone occupied by finance.

“God, Father. Forgive this foolish man’s sins, protect his only remaining hand, and help him live a truly gracious life through it. The life he has left… … .”

“Stop! Stop! Please stop!”

The major, tied to the chair, screamed in pain.

The prayer had already been going on for several dozen minutes.

“Only the evil satanic hordes reject the voice of the Lord. Oh, God. He is still human. Why did you grant the vaccine only to us? Look at this black satanic blood flowing in his body!”

As the priest grabbed his hand with his eyes wide open, the major’s face turned pale.

“Why are you holding my hand? Let go! Let go!”

The face of the priest who was caressing the back of the hand trembled.

“Ugh… … .”

“What, what are you doing? Why are you like this?”

“I sense this evil energy coming from you! Yes, Father. As God’s agent, I will personally uproot the root of evil!”

Then he grabbed a long machete lying on the table.

By this point, the major couldn’t sit still.

“I, I said I’d spare you! Hey, you crazy bastard! Don’t you want to put that down? I told you everything! I told you everything!”

But the priest didn’t seem to care at all.

He lifted the long machete and swung it without mercy.

“Ouch! Aah! You crazy bastard!”

Crunch!

Degururur… … .

At the sound of something round rolling on the floor, the major shut his eyes tightly and felt as if the world was spinning.

And again.

Crunch!

Degururur… … .

“Whew, Whew!”

The major, who had been breathing heavily, opened his eyes.

Then I noticed a head rolling on the floor.

They were the heads of the zombies sitting on either side.

“ha…….”

Only then did the major breathe a sigh of relief.

The priest said.

“You can never escape from evil with these devils by your side, brother. I heard you have a family too. Is that right?”

The major quickly averted his gaze.

There was no ‘conversation’ possible with this crazy man.

The way he spoke was closer to one-sided injection than communication.

“Answer me, brother!”

The excited priest clutched his chin and shouted.

“What answer? What answer are you giving, you crazy idiot! You’re just going to say whatever you want!”

“I am the representative of God, His Son. I cannot stop until the prayer of praise to the Father flows from your lips. You must repeat that prayer every morning and every evening.”

“Why me!”

“Because I heard the voice of my father telling me to save you.”

“Ha… … . Please, please stop. Please.”

The priest shook his head.

“As expected, the root of evil is not easily removed. Your denial, the rebellious spirit rising from the depths of your heart. That is the true face of Satan. Look at me. Look into my eyes! How long do you intend to live like that? The end of a life of coveting and stealing from others is destruction!”

As he spread his arms and shouted passionately, the major felt like crying.

On either side sat decapitated corpses, their heads rolling on the floor.

In front of me was a crazy religious person who was constantly spitting out his words.

It was strange that he didn’t go crazy.

“Okay, I’ll tell you. What are you curious about? If there’s anything you need, just ask. Seriously. I’ll tell you everything.”

“What are you talking about?”

“… Are you doing this because you need information from me?”

“All the information you need from me has already been obtained by my older brother.”

“Then why are you doing this!”

“Haven’t I told you before? I intend to make you my brother.”

“Why? Why on earth?”

“It’s the same old story. Because your father chose you.”

The major hung his head, exhausted from the conversation that had already been decided.

Large tears flowed from her tired eyes.

Now it was difficult even to hear that voice.

however…….

The priest looked moved by the tears.

“Oh, brother. Have you finally received the grace of the Lord? Do you feel a deep emotion welling up from the depths of your soul, a heart-pounding grace?”

Then he knelt down in front of the chair and kissed the back of my hand.

As the lips of the strange man touched the major’s body, goosebumps appeared all over his body.

“Ugh, sob, sob… … Please stop. You crazy kid… … Sob, sob.”

Despite his pleas, prayers continued to flow from the priest’s mouth without ceasing.

The next day.

While Finance and the party met with Sanha, the troops that had set out from Seoul were divided into several groups.

Their destination was east.

According to the Major, the enemies are non-existent.

But looking at the situation up to now, the enemies have always appeared from the east.

That meant there was a base somewhere.

It didn’t matter whether it was part of a lower level organization or a main route to the main office.

If we defeat them one by one as ordered by the finances and capture and torture them, something will be revealed.

When viewed on the map, the troops, divided into point formations, covered a wide area and formed a semicircle.

It looks like a wide-open mouth moving forward while swallowing a map.

In a building in the city center, far away from them.

Yeonhee was sitting by the window on the fifth floor, where the window frame was torn off.

Whew!

As a cold wind blew in through the window, I took my gloves out of my pocket.

He holds a long rifle in his black-gloved hands.

A gun pointed somewhere in the city center.

There was no one on the street.

But Yeonhee wasn’t bored.

Her life has always been unstable, and she has lived every moment being chased.

Waiting for someone wasn’t even a problem.

Ten long years have passed, but Yeonhee hasn’t changed one bit.

No, it actually became more toxic.

Because there are many things to protect.

Crack!

I explore the city center while nibbling on round rice biscuits.

Not a single baby ant should be missed.

Suddenly, I remember a winter day when a snowstorm was blowing.

The day I saved Yu-gyeong at the train station.

It was a day that was like a turning point in Yeonhee’s life.

It was the first act of kindness I showed after I decided to return to my group.

What would have happened if I had passed Yu-gyeong as Kay said?

There would have been no Yoo Kyung-do, who was running around the safe zone without thinking, and no Han Shin, who was desperately looking for her.

therefore…….

Yeonhee knew.

How much of a difference a single choice made now can make in the future.

Such thinking even changed my attitude toward my enemies.

Depending on who you keep alive and who you kill, your surroundings in the short term and the world in the broad term will change.

And Yeonhee had no intention of sparing anyone in this war.

At that moment, her scope stopped somewhere.

Two women crossing the road just out of the alley.

I couldn’t make out their faces because they were wearing hoods, but I could tell them apart just by their body shapes.

Slowly place your hand on the trigger.

There are no friendly forces wandering around this area anyway.

Because I deliberately positioned myself far away from my allies and was listening to their radio transmissions in real time.

Everything in sight had to be considered an enemy.

Two people stop in front of a sign and start talking.

Strength is put into the fingers that are placed gently.

Phew!

The head of the woman standing on the right snapped, sending a circular splatter of blood onto the sign.

It was a hit.

Another woman immediately lowers her posture and runs towards the building.

His other hand held the radio hanging from his waist.

I made it difficult to aim by lowering my body in my own way.

Phew!

I couldn’t avoid the rifle that had been with me for 10 years.

Yeonhee examined the body through the scope.

Both of them had their heads pierced through exactly.

If we leave it like that, someone will know that we’ve lost contact and will come to identify the body.

Capturing it alive at that time would have been sufficient.

But the reaction was faster than expected.

I thought I heard voices nearby, and then a group of people appeared.

They were talking about the dead women across the street.

Yeonhee covered the rifle with a black cloth.

Then I closed the curtains that had been pushed to both sides to narrow my field of vision.

How many seconds passed like that?

The enemies were hiding behind the outer wall of the building and looking around the area.

The intention was to attack as soon as the location was confirmed.

Swish!

Yeonhee, with her rifle out, hurriedly runs down the opposite hallway.

The angle didn’t come out on this side.

I approached the window that I had opened in advance and watched the enemies’ movements.

The only thing we had changed was the location, but the enemies were standing at a wide open angle as expected.

Yeonhee quietly puts down the rifle and places her hand on the trigger.

Five people.

If you shoot from the outside and take out the three, the two left in the center will have nowhere to run.

Just when I was about to pull the trigger.

A man appeared in the alley where the enemies had appeared.

Then, in an instant, he rushed in and started attacking.

bang!

Someone fired a gun through the narrow gap, but the man dodged even the bullet.

Did you lower your posture in advance?

Yeonhee looked at him curiously, but somehow he felt familiar.

“That’s… … .”

The man who had just dealt with the five took off his hat.

And he stared straight at the window where Yeonhee was sitting.

A face revealed through the scope.

His true identity, which hadn’t aged a bit even after 10 years, was Gu Min-ho.

The doctor had arrived.
