Infected - Chapter 576



Only Noblemtl

Side story episode 63

No battle took place.

No, the battle itself was structured in a way that it could not take place.

All the Allied forces advancing north had were rifles and grenades.

Such weapons could not deal with the numerous tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, helicopters, and fighter planes.

One word from the commander and the whole place would be turned into a wasteland.

Whether it’s an all-out war or something else, it will disappear without a trace before it even starts.

As the long line of Allied forces was blocked by the most advanced weaponry, endless Chinese troops waving red flags appeared from all directions.

The demoralized Allied forces disarmed themselves without any special orders.

Who would aim a rifle in front of the tank’s muzzle?

Snipers pointed their guns at buildings all over the city center.

The commander was speechless, and the old man’s gaze was drawn to the hundred soldiers approaching from afar.

A long passageway they created, lined up from left to right.

A woman walked along that road.

Black uniform, neatly tied hair, ghostly white face.

It was the appearance of Zhang Liming.

As soon as the old man saw Zhang Liming, he clicked his tongue without realizing it.

It was a complete calculation failure.

In the past, news came from China, which I had traveled to with great difficulty.

China has no time to take care of the Korean Peninsula due to internal circumstances.

It was definitely like that, but maybe things changed during the time we were there.

The moment I saw Zhang Liming’s face, my doubts were completely resolved.

‘Oh my… … .’

Among fortune tellers, there is a type of flesh that is popular and attracts attention.

There are many different types and the interpretations vary depending on the number and location, but there are also cases where they are seen in physiognomy, as is the case now.

In the old man’s view, Zhang Liming had a wider range of powers that attracted many people rather than rational charm.

‘With all these monsters gathered together, there’s no way we could be a match for them… … .’

The old man let out a deep sigh.

Then, Zhang Liming, who had come close to his nose, stared into his eyes.

A sharp iceberg, with pupils much larger on the uncovered side than on the exposed side.

Just looking at it makes you feel the cold chill.

The old man felt an indescribable murderous intent in her eyes.

I had no idea how many people I had killed with those small hands.

I’m currently looking at the appearance.

Zhang Liming said, tilting his head slightly.

“I am Zhang Liming, Commander-in-Chief of the People’s Republic of China. Will you surrender?”

“… … .”

“Even if you surrender, you die.”

Her gaze turned to the commander standing behind her.

“You die too.”

Unlike the silent old man, the commander said anything to survive.

“Wow, we are the Allied Forces! We have no personal grudge against Seoul! If you spare our lives, we will tell you anything! Do you intend to kill all these soldiers?”

Zhang Liming shook his head coldly.

Even though ten years had passed, she still boasted the strongest youthful appearance.

“Don’t say anything. I already knew everything.”

“Please… … .”

“I’ll trade your life for the lives of my soldiers. What do you think?”

The commander looked around with a trembling face.

The officers and soldiers were silent.

Would it have been different if he had resisted from the beginning and said he would kill himself?

“It seems like everyone is in agreement.”

Zhang Liming nodded and aimed his pistol.

The pitch-black muzzle was glaring at the commander as if it would swallow him up.

“Save, save, save… … .”

bang!

With those words, the commander collapsed, blood spurting out.

Next was the old man.

Zhang Liming aimed his gun and glanced at the old man again.

“Are you fearless? Well, at that age, you shouldn’t be afraid of dying.”

“Kill me. I have no regrets. Even if you let me live here, I’ll die someday. The organization won’t leave me alone.”

“The way you speak… … .”

She pushed the muzzle of the gun up to her chin and turned her face from side to side.

“… I’ll spare you for now. I’ve heard that tone a lot.”

Then he gave an order in Chinese, and the officers came and dragged the old man away.

That was the end of it.

The large force that had held great ambitions was instantly disintegrated, and Zhang Liming led the large number of troops and prisoners to Jaejae.

It is time to end the war.

* * *

While spies are being chased all over Seoul.

Someone appeared in the empty water purification facility.

Is it because the gaze is focused outward?

There was no one inside.

The man took out a round vial from in front of a water purification plant that resembled a giant bathtub.

The operation was successful.

Thanks to the sacrifice of my comrades, I managed to distract them, and now all that remains is to dissolve the water-soluble drug in the bottle.

It was a deadly poison that could cause large-scale chaos in small doses.

Then he took out a much smaller bottle from his right pocket.

A suicide potion given in case things go wrong.

“… … .”

The man’s eyes became grave as he looked at the liquid in the bottle.

Open the lid slowly.

Footsteps were heard from somewhere.

Rattle, rattle, rattle.

It was the sound of someone coming down the iron stairs into the basement.

The man was momentarily conflicted.

Should I just pour the medicine like this or do it after the crisis is resolved?

If you choose the former, all that’s left is death, but if you choose the latter, you can do more.

He put the vial in his pocket.

I decided to choose the latter.

The voice was heard immediately afterwards.

“…Turn around slowly.”

The man turned around slowly, his hands in his pockets.

A few meters ahead, someone with his back to the metal stairs was aiming a pistol.

His identity, wearing a black hat pulled down low, was Chanyeol.

“Take your hands out of your pockets and put your hands on the back of your head. If you do anything reckless, I’ll blow your head off.”

The man smiled awkwardly.

“I took the wrong road… … .”

“I’ll be the judge. Take your hands out of your pockets.”

Footsteps could also be heard from behind.

“Yeah. That makes sense. It’s a bit strange for you to run away so blatantly.”

Choi Hoon came down the stairs, aimed his gun, and smiled.

Surrounded on both sides, the man seemed to hesitate for a moment before letting out a short sigh.

“Haa, this is… … .”

Then, in an instant, he pulled his arm out and stretched it over the water tank.

Chanyeol and Choi Hoon, who were about to pull the trigger, hesitated.

Because the bottle cap was open.

Although there was no specific conversation, the two of them knew what was inside.

“You’ll regret it.”

Choi Hoon tries to act calm and threatens.

As expected, the man didn’t move an inch.

I didn’t care about threats like that.

Because from the beginning, I was thinking of dying whenever I got hurt.

“If you’re going to shoot, shoot. If I miss this, you can imagine what will happen.”

“It’s all over now. Put it down.”

“Is that really so? It’s not like things will stop happening just because I’m the only one stopping them. We’re everywhere.”

“I’ll be the judge. Put the gun down, now!”

Chanyeol shouted, adjusting his grip on the gun.

“It’s over, you little shit!”

“Is that really true?”

That was when.

With a loud bang, the earth shook and cement powder fell from the ceiling of the water purification plant.

Choi Hoon shouted.

“what!”

“The end? Wrong. This is just the beginning. We have endured and endured for a long time for today. Do you really think that our plan can be stopped by a single pistol? It’s all over? Yes, it’s all over. Seoul is finished.”

yet again.

bang!

Chanyeol’s hands, holding the gun, were covered in sweat.

A loud noise can be faintly heard from the ground.

It was the sound of something collapsing and exploding, and the screams of people in fear.

“Poisoning the water? This is just part of our plan. We are ready to die for our comrades at any time. Now, shoot me! If you can!”

The man let go of her hand with those words.

A brown glass bottle fell into the water tank, its liquid sloshing around.

At that moment, sparks flew in Chanyeol’s eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blood and flesh spurted from the man’s head and chest, but Chanyeol did not stop.

The poisonous substances in the water will spread through the pipes throughout Seoul.

As he said, such horrible things were happening all over Seoul.

“Die, this dog!”

Bang! Bang!

“Chanyeol! You have to go out!”

I didn’t know what was going on outside, but I had to get out of the water treatment plant as soon as possible.

Cracks were already forming in the ceiling and rocks were falling.

“Kim Chanyeol!”

Choi Hoon, who had climbed over the corpse, grabbed Chanyeol’s arm.

But Chanyeol didn’t stop.

He was mercilessly beating the face of a man who was already dead with his combat boots.

“Eww! You son of a bitch!”

“I told you to go out! Kim Chanyeol, are you out of your mind?”

“Let go! Let go!”

Choi Hoon clenched his teeth and pulled Chanyeol towards him.

He always had the upper hand in strength.

Chanyeol’s face, as he was dragged out, was covered in tears.

So the two barely managed to get out, avoiding the falling rocks.

And I couldn’t close my mouth at the sight that unfolded before my eyes.

It started with flames shooting up from the building right in front.

But that was just the tip of the iceberg.

A view of the safe zone beyond the rising flames.

Dozens of smoke plumes disperse across the clear sky.

Choi Hoon’s chin trembled when he saw the scenery.

It’s been a whole 10 years.

The safe zone that I had nurtured like my own home without a single day of rest for 10 years was now in ruins due to the enemy’s terror attack.

And that’s not all.

The capital was also infiltrated by deadly poison.

Even if they broadcast that they were telling people not to drink the water right away, there was no way that it would be properly conveyed in this war zone.

Chanyeol screamed with his head on the floor.

It was something that couldn’t be stopped from the beginning.

How do you weed out spies who have been creeping in little by little over a long period of time?

From now on, countless people will die, and the once peaceful safe zone will be filled with corpses.

If you think about it, there wasn’t a single person who wasn’t precious.

The same was true for Choi Hoon, who was standing next to him.

He collapsed on the floor and stared blankly at the upper floors of the building engulfed in flames.

At that moment, someone approached the two people.

“Get up.”

It was a voice I heard for the first time.

I looked up and saw a strange man standing there in a white gown.

It was a positive fever.

“Just turn off the fire. There’s no need to be so sad.”

“who……?”

Choi Hoon asked with a puzzled face.

The answer came from somewhere else.

“Brothers, wake up. Now is not the time to be doing this.”

I passed Seongyeol as I looked around the chaotic street.

“But already in the water purification plant… … .”

“That’s why I brought him in advance. This guy.”

Her fingertips pointed at Seongyeol.

“You say hello yourself.”

“Hello. My name is Yang Seong-yeol, and I am a drug manufacturer at the outpost.”

“What? Drugs?”

Chanyeol gritted his teeth and ran towards him, grabbing him by the collar.

“It’s you! It’s because of you now!”

“Oh, no. I think there’s some misunderstanding… … .”

“What misunderstands?

“If you kill him, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“It’s all over anyway! I wouldn’t let this kid live… … .”

“It’s true that he made the medicine. But he’s the only one who can detoxify it.”

“They already took the medicine!”

Chanyeol shouted with bloodshot eyes.

Then, Seongyeol, who was standing there with a bewildered face, answered awkwardly.

“Ah… that doesn’t work.”

“what?”

“I’ve already released the antidote. Looking at the water purification system here, I see that the water is circulated. Then, when the water runs out, it’s supplied from outside. That’s why I released the antidote while keeping it locked. That means that no matter how much poison you add, it won’t be effective.”

“So, does that mean no one will die?”

Seongyeol nodded.

“So, let’s put this aside and calm down. Now is not the time to be sad, it’s the time to save people.”

At that moment, Chanyeol and Choi Hoon blinked at the unexpected answer.

A woman came running around the corner from behind the building.

The moment a group of people chasing after them look at the group.

Shhh!

Something flying through the air struck the woman squarely in the back of her head.

dump!

Everyone’s eyes on the street turned back.

There stood Anna, the priest, and Lee Tae-seong, loading arrows.

At the same time, a group of helicopters cross the sky.

Then, a familiar voice struck Chanyeol and Choi Hoon’s ears.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you in your right mind?”

A sharp tone, as if being whipped.

The owner of that voice was Zhang Liming, who had destroyed the Allied Forces advancing from the south to the north.

She spoke solemnly, wearing a black hat pulled down over her neatly tied hair.

“It’s Han Jae-jeong’s order. There’s no need to capture them alive, so just kill them all.”

Then, Zhang Liming was moving, escorted by soldiers wearing Chinese combat uniforms.

It was time to weed out all the spies.
