Infected - Chapter 72



Only Noblemtl

Episode 71

Jeong Ijin checked from the hallway.

How far does it lead, and is there another fork in the road?

If we had to retreat, we looked for another way out.

‘How can I not see a single one?’

Jeong I-jin also had similar doubts about finances.

The surroundings were so quiet that not a single dusty particle was seen.

This couldn’t have been possible with the common sense he knew.

Jeong Ijin tilted his head and thought.

‘Who has been there?’

The visible scenery was unrealistic enough to allow for wild imaginations.

It was incredibly frustrating not to have even a single piece of junk rolling around on the floor.

‘The walls are covered in blood, you know… … .’

Jeong I-jin, who thought it would be faster to find survivors first, started walking.

After a while.

It wasn’t until I turned two corners and reached the end of the hallway that I finally found the supply room.

dripping!

I knocked, but there was no response.

Smart again!

“Come out, I don’t have time.”

Jeong Ijin said, looking out the window as if he knew everything.

After a moment of silence, the door to the supply room opened slowly.

Soon, the main character of the radio broadcast, the platoon leader who had been calling Jeong I-jin’s name without hesitation, appeared.

But Jeong Ijin, who was turning around, stopped.

Then I looked around the supply room again.

‘what’s this?’

A healthy soldier, not even infected, was found dead with a hole in his head.

Jeong Ijin’s eyes turned sharply toward the platoon leader, and the platoon leader raised his chin stiffly as if trying to overcome the gaze.

“Is there a problem?”

“Oh. So fucking much.”

“That kid, he got bitten while he was running away, and he didn’t even tell me… … .”

“Just close it and wait.”

Jeong I-jin examined the corpse of the soldier here and there.

And soon I could find the area where the blood was spreading excitedly.

It was an arm.

Jeong Ijin took out a military knife and skillfully cut the combat uniform.

On his arm, there were clear teeth marks, just as the platoon leader had said.

Still, Jeong Ijin couldn’t understand.

Sticking a knife in a living person’s head before he can mutate.

I understand how you feel, but is this something that people can easily accomplish?

That too, his own subordinates.

Jeong Ijin cut off more of the soldier’s clothes.

The flow of black liquid was observed moving from the wound to the brain.

The black liquid stopped at his elbow.

This was clearly an action taken without hesitation as soon as the infection was confirmed.

Jeong Ijin ripped off the military number string and checked the number.

“Hey, aren’t you a member of the squad?”

“Are you asking something obvious?”

An overtly challenging attitude.

Even though the armies were different and had to be integrated due to the circumstances, this was an excessively outrageous act.

‘First of all… I’m putting up with it because of your father.’

Jeong Ijin asked again, suppressing her boiling anger.

“There was also a way to cut off the arm?”

“I’m going to die from excessive bleeding anyway.”

“Don’t you know how to tie knots?”

“I don’t remember.”

‘Okay. What would I talk about with you?’

Jeong Ijin shook her head and said indifferently.

“Don’t bother me and just follow me. If you bother me, I’ll abandon you and go.”

“If that was possible, why did you come all the way here?”

The tone was clearly sarcastic.

“I’ll show you what happens if you mess around. Your father never said to bring the body.”

The corners of Jeong Ijin’s mouth went up in a sour tone.

The platoon leader almost flinched without realizing it at the cold murderous intent he felt for a moment.

Yet, the eyes were still alive.

‘How dare a mere captain, Naburang, dare to go crazy against a valuable talent who will lead the reorganized national army!’

The platoon leader had never lived his life bowing down to anyone.

Not only was he the only son of a national hero, he was also the third generation of the family to have been born late in life.

He was the most important person in the whole household.

The mother, who left this world at an early age, only worried about her son until the moment of her death.

― Live proudly without a mother. Never be discouraged. No matter what anyone says, you are the only child of this family that I raised by giving my all.

– If you do something wrong, it’s all over.

More problematic than my mother’s will were the last words my parents would often say.

No one taught us that repetitive speech can be easily abused depending on the situation.

Did she know that her son would grow up like this?

The platoon leader looked at Jeong Ijin’s back and thought to himself.

‘You fought off that many zombies by yourself? I didn’t hear any fighting on the way here.’

No one knew better than Jeong Ijin that she was strong.

On the day of the virus outbreak, I encountered Jeong Jin-i, who was escorting VIPs, three times.

Three times.

Every time, the platoon leader thought that Jeong I-jin would die.

But after two or three times, I gradually came to understand.

That he is a person who should not be looked at in a normal way.

‘How did you deal with that big monster?’

It was hard to accept.

“If there is even the slightest danger, I will go first. You know that.”

“Please do that.”

“But did you come here alone?”

“Then how many people would have to come to rescue a single bastard who is no different from a civilian?”

“There’s no way Dad would do that… I clearly told you over the radio how many zombie babies there are.”

“Go and find out for yourself.”

Jeong Ijin, who had finished speaking, took the lead.

Right then.

Someone’s scream was heard outside.

“Back off!”

‘Senior Kang Young-man?’

Just as Jeong Jin-jin was about to turn his gaze out the window, the platoon leader shouted.

“I showed up! What the hell! Did you see it clearly?”

Jeong I-jin froze for a moment as he looked in the direction the platoon leader was pointing with his finger.

Of course, I didn’t think it was a lie because it was what Finance said.

however…….

This was ridiculous.

‘You took down such a big kid?’

The guy was a little bigger than the monster Finance had encountered at the hospital.

But the overall appearance was almost identical.

Except for the actions.

The talk about killing the infected as much as possible did not apply.

Soon a loud roar was heard, different from the sounds made by the infected.

If the roar of the infected was like a bicycle horn, this was like a bus or a truck.

Woof woof woof!

The guy was screaming so hard he thought he was going crazy, and he suddenly started breaking down every door he could see.

Boom! Crack!

Boom! Crunch!

In the end, after wrestling with the door a few times, he tore it off entirely.

Then, as if they had been waiting inside, the infected poured out.

This is usually called adding insult to injury.

The half-mad platoon leader ran into the supply room screaming, and Jeong I-jin, left alone, quickly looked around.

There was some time before they arrived.

He opened the storage room opposite the supply room.

Inside there was a long table turned on its side.

Squeak!

I dragged him out in a hurry.

And this time I opened the door to the supply room.

As the platoon leader inside looked startled and regretted not locking the door, the width of the open door facing him narrowed the width of the hallway.

By placing a desk in between, a usable defensive line was formed.

It looked okay because the table was holding up even when they pushed the door open.

In addition, the door was designed so that it would not open beyond a certain angle, so pulling it would be useless.

‘Come on.’

Jeong Ijin took out a sickle and a dagger and approached the table.

Whoaaaaah!

Seven infected people came running at full speed, starting with an angry pig screaming.

Jeong I-jin, who saw that sight, took out a blue can from the display case in the supplies room and threw it.

The result was as he expected.

The guys who were rushing in stepped on the barrel and fell down, and the guys behind them tripped on the fallen guys and fell down again, repeating this process.

The three who came through the gap slammed their bodies against the table.

bang!

Jeong Ijin supported the table that was being pushed with her thighs and stabbed the dagger into the heads of the men who were falling forward one by one.

Pok! Pok! Pok!

Because he was so strong, there was no way a dagger stuck in his bone would come out.

There was no unnecessary movement in Jeong-i Jin’s movements, as if he was a chef skillfully shaking a wok.

Jeong I-jin left the corpses lying on the table with their upper bodies hanging down.

Because it will be a good wall.

The four who followed fell over the hanging corpse or climbed over the table.

Jeong Ijin kicked the floating guy’s leg.

Then the bastard lost his center of gravity and fell headfirst to the ground.

At that moment, he stepped on his neck and cut off his head with a sickle.

‘one.’

Then, I kicked the guy who was trying to jump on the table with my foot, and then I hit the head of the other guy who was waving his arms.

‘two.’

While I was flying away after being kicked in the side, the infected person at the very back climbed up onto the table, stepping on the corpses of his friends.

Jeong Ijin didn’t wait, but climbed up onto the table first and swung his scythe straight at the guy’s head.

The scythe swung down cleanly cutting off the guy’s head.

Now, only the guy who got kicked and the monster remained in front.

Kwaaaaak!

Even as the last infected person ran towards him, making a noise, the monster just stared at Jin.

‘What is that kid doing?’

I was nervous, but the guy who approached me took priority.

After dealing with the guy without much difficulty, the monster approached us boldly as if it had been waiting for this moment.

Swish!

The dagger on Jeong Ijin’s waist flew and hit the bastard right between his eyebrows.

But the monster didn’t care and kept walking.

‘You don’t die even if you get hit in the head?’

It really didn’t seem to have any effect.

Just in case, Jeong Ijin threw another dagger.

He covers his face with his arm as if putting up a guard.

A dagger that bounces off without a hitch and rolls on the floor.

“This kid?”

Jeong Ijin shook his head as if he found it absurd.

And then he called the platoon leader who was inside the supply room.

“Hey, throw the rope over there.”

But the platoon leader didn’t budge.

“If you want to live, throw it away. We’re both on the verge of losing.”

The rope that just flew in.

There are only a few steps left now.

I tied the end of the rope to the doorknob of the storage room.

Jeong Jin-i tied the knot that the platoon leader couldn’t remember in just one second.

He dropped the scythe he was holding.

All I had in my hand was a rope.

‘That kid, no way… … .’

The platoon leader opened his eyes wide.

‘You’re going to do something that only comes from a fantasy movie?’

Before he could even finish his thoughts, Jeong Ijin ran out at full speed, stepping on the table and jumping.

The monster swung its arms belatedly, but Jeong Ijin’s movements were faster.

“Slow, slow.”

Jeong Jin-jin, who went behind the monster, waited until it turned around and then moved to the opposite side the moment it turned around.

I think I moved like that three times.

The monster’s flabby flesh burst out from between the tightly bound ropes.

It was so red and swollen that it looked like it would burst like a balloon if pricked with a needle.

‘This time it’s legs!’

Jung Jin-jin slid through the bastard’s groin area, successfully avoiding the flailing arms and securing his legs with a rope.

Now all that was left to do was tie the end of the rope to the opposite door.

just now!

The phrase ‘right now’ was applicable to Jeong Ijin.

But the reaction came from an unexpected place.

The platoon leader who was in the supplies room suddenly ran out.

“Hey! Get in!”

“What the hell!”

The platoon leader, his eyes wide open, rushed towards the monster with its body and legs tied without a moment’s hesitation.

“Hey, you crazy kid! Why are you like that all of a sudden?”

Jeong Ijin’s persuasion was of no use.

The platoon leader, who had seen it somewhere, recreated Jeong Jin-i’s slide through the monster’s groin.

and…….

The body that seemed like it was going to slide stopped exactly under the monster’s legs.

In that moment, the bastard and the platoon leader’s eyes met.

“uh?”

puck!

“Ha… That little bastard.”

The monster, whose arms were moving normally, was in a state where its medicine was rising because of Jeong I-jin.

As soon as he saw the platoon leader stop under the bridge, he struck him down with his fist.

Although he covered his head with both arms, his body sank as if he were going to be hit by the ground, and he fainted.

Jeong Ijin didn’t miss the gap and finished tying the knot on the door on the other side.

Then he stood facing the guy.

Whoaaaaah!

When the guy screamed again, the hinges on both doors shook as if they were going to be ripped off.

Jeong Ijin, who had been twisting his neck from side to side, ran to the table holding a sickle.

He swings his scythe with a solemn expression on his face as if he were performing an execution.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

After flesh was splattered everywhere.

Degurrurur… … .

That was the end.

Jeong Jin-i looked around.

If it weren’t for the supply room and warehouse, I would have definitely died.

Cheek!

He looked down at his unconscious platoon leader, still lighting a cigarette.

‘Sigh… What should I do with this?’

I was grateful that you hid in the supply room.

There’s a warehouse across from that too.

But it wasn’t that cheap.

“under…….”

Jeong Ijin exhaled thick cigarette smoke and wiped away the sweat.
