Infected - Chapter 61



Only Noblemtl

Episode 60

“You can’t get through.”

A soldier standing guard blocked the way.

Then Jaejae took something out of his bosom.

It was a small card, but the soldiers who saw it rushed to open the door for me.

‘Just take mine with you. With this, no one will be able to stop you in the safe zone.’

The doctor was waiting on the first floor.

I was originally planning to come here right after leaving the tower, but I couldn’t do that because of the doctor.

Last night, the doctor handed me the card and added some additional explanations.

And one of them caught the attention of finance.

It was about a warehouse right at the edge of the production area.

‘The warehouse… don’t go near it either. I’ll let you know when the time comes. I hope we won’t end up blushing because we can’t overcome our curiosity.’

Who can stand to hear someone say this?

What on earth is inside that keeps you from getting near it?

Finance looked in the direction where the warehouse was.

But the fog was so thick I couldn’t see anything.

The soldier who had been waiting with the door open coughed in vain.

Only then did Jae-jae realize what he had come for and enter the border area.

Clank!

As the gate to the fence closed, Finance slowly looked around.

A tent village stretched out along the sidewalk blocks and trash strewn everywhere.

People who are so dirty that you don’t feel like you’re living in the same safe zone.

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

Who knew the group lived in a place like this?

It was a different feeling from when I took a quick look around with the production area manager.

I knew it was a somewhat poor environment, but I didn’t know it was this bad.

Even though they had no choice but to accept it, the gap with other districts was too great.

However, this does not mean that they were just playing around.

We have been at the forefront of consistently repairing the exterior walls and expanding the safety zone.

Would it be selfish to say that it is fortunate that at least one person was able to escape?

But that was the reality.

You can’t take care of everyone.

There was no reason or ability to do so.

As I was walking with complicated thoughts in my mind, I felt a cold gaze from the side.

Suddenly, I turned my head and saw familiar tattoos wriggling and staring at me.

Finance also remembered the tattooed men.

He passed by, keeping his distance and examining their faces one by one.

Unlike the tattoos that looked like they were going to kill him, his finances were comfortable.

No, it was even laughable.

I wasn’t scared at all even when a truckload of those guys came rushing at me.

As soon as we passed them, the grandeur of the outer walls overwhelmed us.

How on earth did they set this up?

It was hard to believe even when I saw it with my own eyes.

Crunch!

Something got stepped on by my shoe.

cartridge case?

I looked around.

Bullet casings were scattered all over the asphalt like rocks.

It seemed to be a trace of defense of the surrounding area while the outer wall was being built.

Suddenly, I laughed as I thought about the old days.

Memories of my active duty days, when I would laugh and cry over a single cartridge, came to mind.

Those shell casings were strewn around here like clumps of dust.

And when I reached the end of it, my eyes met those of the people sitting on the sidewalk blocks across the road.

Hyunsoo and Youngman stood up with bright faces, and Beomsik nodded lightly.

“brother!”

Hyunsoo came running in one stride.

Jae-jae, who was patting Young-man on the shoulder, approached Beom-sik, but someone blocked his way.

They were tattooed big guys.

In particular, the faces with dragon and goblin tattoos were unusual.

“Who is this? You all meet here? But what can I do? There is no police station or law to protect you here.”

“Ah, I really waited for today.”

Jaejae burst into laughter at the two men’s words.

“Are you laughing?”

“Get out of the way.”

He passed it by, saying that he was bothered by finances.

At that moment, the dragon tattoo grabbed Jaeyi’s shoulder.

Beomsik still sat on the pavement and just watched.

“Stop it. I won’t tell you three times.”

The two of them furrowed their brows roughly at Jae-jae’s attitude of only turning his head to warn them.

“Hey, what’s wrong? It’s my brother. And Beomsik hyung too… … .”

“Come out. This isn’t your place.”

The youngest, the carp tattooist behind him, pulled Hyun-soo aside as he tried to stop him.

Hyun-soo’s eyes became anxious as he stepped back.

If you look at just the physique, the difference is overwhelming, but there were four opponents.

Brother, why are you just watching?

Hyunsoo looked at Beomsik, but he just watched the situation without saying anything.

In addition, Young-man was watching the situation unfold with his arms crossed as if he was watching a movie.

That was when.

The dragon tattoo holding his shoulder swung a punch.

puck-

A large fist struck Jae-ui’s face with a sound.

however…….

The face of finance was not even moved.

It didn’t turn back, it didn’t get distorted.

The confused man threw his punch again.

Bam!

The sound of bone clashing echoed around, and a fist was buried in Jae-ui’s forehead.

The fist with the dragon tattoo had barely reached halfway before it struck his forehead.

“Ugh!”

Startled by the sharp pain that felt like his bones were going to break, the dragon tattoo quickly took a step back.

But finances didn’t miss it.

Finances also followed suit as footsteps were lost.

puck!

The fist flew in without me even being able to be surprised by the unexpected agility and struck my temple.

The dragon tattooed man, who had been hit without even having time to twist his body to avoid harm, fell down drooling.

“Fuck!”

At the same time, the remaining three rushed in.

Finance, taking a step back, confirmed the order.

The goblin tattoo running from the right was in the lead.

Judging by the long strides, it was a kick.

On the left, a carp tattoo was approaching.

This one was a fist.

The last one was the same.

As soon as the order was set, Jaeyui’s body reacted like a machine.

First, I ran to the goblin tattoo that was kicking.

I blocked the half-raised leg with my palm and pushed it with my torso.

The guy fell out as if he had been hit by a car.

The youngest, a carp tattoo, changed direction and threw a punch as the point of impact changed due to the movement of finances.

But the financial turnaround was faster.

The man who was hit just below the ribs, just above the pelvis, collapsed helplessly.

If you get hit there, it will directly hit your kidneys and liver, causing you to become lethargic.

The last remaining man jabbed with his left hand and then threw a punch with his right.

It looked like he had learned boxing.

Jae-jae turned his head to avoid the jab, then blocked the flying punch with his left arm.

Then he grabbed the bastard’s neck with his right hand.

A large hand covered the adult man’s neck.

Usually, when someone grabs you by the collar or neck, you start throwing punches at them indiscriminately.

This is because the opponent’s guard disappears.

But the bastard couldn’t extend his fist like a deer whose neck had been bitten by a tiger.

Instead, he just frantically slapped the arm of finance that was strangling him.

‘Surrender! Surrender!’

Unfortunately, there was no referee here.

After strangling him for several seconds, he fell limp like a piece of dead meat.

Jae-jae put the guy down on the floor and walked towards Beom-sik and Yeong-man.

Behind them, the tattooed men who had come to their senses were busy taking care of the unconscious man.

Beomsik slowly got up from his seat.

The distance between the two people is getting closer and closer.

The two of them shook each other’s hands tightly without saying who would go first.

“sorry.”

Finance apologized.

Beomsik nodded in response with a bitter smile.

Actually, I didn’t do it on purpose.

I thought that if we had to keep meeting within the safe zone, it was a relationship that had to be resolved at least once.

Even though they were younger siblings, there were things they could understand through words and things they couldn’t.

In such cases, it is better to let the parties resolve the issue among themselves rather than trying to improve the relationship by force.

So I just watched silently.

As expected, it was as expected.

Finances do not inflict serious harm on people without reason.

All four of them were hit in vital spots, but they would all be fine if they rested for a while.

The tattoos that had been swaying their bodies were greatly embarrassed by the sight of the two who looked so close.

While Jae-jae was greeting Young-man, Beom-sik beckoned to them.

Tattoos running at a pace.

“Hello, I’m your friend.”

When Finance looked back, he was standing there holding the place where the bastards had been hit, with a displeased look on his face.

“We’ve done enough for each other, so let’s just let go now. He’s a friend who’s saved my life so many times. From now on, you should think of him as me and treat him the same way.”

“…Okay, brother.”

The dragon tattoo bowed its head first.

Then he bowed his upper body towards Jae-jae.

I didn’t forget to make a statement.

The rest of them were the same.

Finance laughed lightly.

“Let’s get along well from now on. I don’t have any bad feelings toward you. If you have any, get rid of them.”

“Yes, brother.”

The four of them bowed their upper bodies to the point of embarrassment.

At that moment, a loud voice from behind struck Jae-yi’s ears.

Anna, who was resting in the tent, appeared after hearing the sound.

“What? When did you come?”

“Just now. But why are you like this?”

Jae-jae looked at Anna with a pitiful face.

Only then did Anna realize that she hadn’t washed for several days and turned away in surprise.

“What the heck. It’s because I can’t wash. Ah! Don’t look at me!”

“By the way, what happened to you?”

Youngman asked.

Finance simply explained what had happened so far.

And there was some good news too.

“I’ve agreed to relocate the four of you as a condition of your acceptance. I’ll have some good news in a few days.”

“Thank you. By the way, have you seen Minyoung?”

“Min-young is staying in the tower. I heard he’s participating in vaccine development, which is good.”

“Okay, that’s fine. At least it won’t be like this.”

“It might be better for Min-young not to see this.”

Young-man nodded.

This time, Hyunsoo asked.

“But is there a place to move to?”

“I said I knew because I had it.”

“Surely they wouldn’t kick out people who are doing well in their homes to make room for something that doesn’t exist, right?”

“hey.”

Beomsik intervened.

“Think only of us, only of us.”

“…all right.”

Hyunsoo reluctantly swallowed his words.

But everyone’s attention was focused on Beomsik’s next words.

“I will stay here.”

“why?”

When asked about finances, Beomsik looked at the tattoos.

“Brother! We are okay!”

“Quiet.”

With those words, the tattoos became dumb and speechless.

I felt like the words I wanted to say were rising to the top of my throat, but I held them back.

Jaejae, who was observing the situation, quickly agreed.

“Okay. Do whatever you want.”

“There will be a good opportunity later. We can survive in a place like this, so just worry about the two of you, Ingang.”

A look of regret spread across Anna and Hyunsoo’s faces.

It was a problem that I couldn’t help but feel sad about.

In fact, he was a slightly different person from the beginning.

Even among the group, I felt like I was the only one who was floating around like a puzzle piece that didn’t fit.

Whenever he was with his younger siblings who had reunited here, he seemed to have found his place.

What should I say, it looks comfortable, the pieces fit together perfectly.

Well, if I had met close friends or family here, anyone would have made a similar choice.

“excuse me…….”

Everyone turned around at the unfamiliar voice.

There stood the foreman and his associates.

It seems like he’s been watching the group for a while.

“We didn’t receive a separate message, so when did you get it?”

“I’m going out again.”

Finance answered curtly.

“Let’s talk briefly before that.”

“I told you I was going out again?”

“That might be a bit difficult.”

Finance’s brow furrowed in annoyance.

“Oh, really today. What is it? Tell me here.”

“I’m the work team leader in charge of the border area, and this is our team. We’ve been watching this for a while, but according to the regulations, if there’s a fight in the border area, we’re responsible. You know what I mean? We have to assess the situation and send the person causing the trouble to the soldiers. Okay?”

“Are you deaf? I’m getting out of here.”

Finance approached the foreman.

A shadow appeared as if a wall was approaching.

But the foreman looked up at me with a completely unnerved expression.

Finance felt it intuitively.

This guy, the foreman, was not a normal person.

My intuition, built up from my long career as a detective, was telling me so.

Infected people
