Apocalypse in Water Episode 10
Episode 10
In the sketchbook there is a bottle of water, bread, and what is that thing next to it?
The picture was quite large, but it was difficult to see it clearly because it was far away.
I took out my phone and zoomed in on the camera.
Ah! This is rice with steam rising from it.
It seems like they’re asking for food and water, but can’t you get any from there?
If you walk around the apartment like me, you’ll probably be able to find bottles of water or canned food.
Are you trapped by a monster, like a monster fish, and unable to get water or food?
I was about to shout to the boy that he could talk, but then I remembered the monster saury from before and closed my mouth.
The sketchbook seemed quite clever, whether it was the boy’s idea or that of his hidden guardian.
With that level of caution and caution, I thought it would be okay to have a colleague, even if he was a weak child.
And there was still plenty of food and water.
But if you ask me to accept as my companions the man and woman who shot firecrackers, I will never do it even if the water becomes land.
But how do we get water and food to Building 108?
I stroked my chin and pondered.
The distance between buildings 110 and 108, where I am, is about 40 to 50 meters.
It wasn’t that far, but it wasn’t close enough to reach by throwing something like a water bottle with your hand.
If you try it for nothing, you might end up falling into the sea and provoking some monster like a raccoon.
What should I do?
Once we get up to the roof, I think there might be a way.
If you make something like a bow and shoot an arrow tied to a rope, you can drop it onto the roof of Building 108.
I remembered the spear gun my father made for me when I was little.
He cut a bamboo, made a hole, made a trigger, twisted a rubber band, and used the recoil to shoot a pointed arrow.
I caught quite a few fish with that speargun.
It would take some time, but it seemed possible to make a bow, a crossbow, or a spear gun.
However, since it was hastily built, the accuracy of the shooting will be poor.
It would be difficult to hit the window with the boy exactly.
In that case, it was much more advantageous to shoot freely to the rooftop.
All you have to do is connect the rope and transfer the items.
I tore off a large piece of wallpaper and wrote two letters across it.
The wallpaper almost filled the window.
[rooftop.]
As soon as the boy read my writing, he drew a lock.
Oh, right.
The automatic rooftop door opening device will not open unless it detects a fire.
I took off the wallpaper again and drew a picture of a fire burning on the ceiling.
The boy tilted his head, as if he didn’t understand my drawing.
Is it because you don’t know the fire code and fire alarm system?
I drew the picture in a little more detail.
He installed a fire alarm on the ceiling, placed a chair underneath, and drew a boy climbing onto the chair.
And the storyline of the picture was completed with the boy lighting the lighter, starting a fire, and the emergency door opening.
But strangely enough, as more details were added, the child’s face became more distorted.
Later, he looked as if he was about to burst into tears.
Oh. Why is that? Is it because you can’t see the picture well? Or are you afraid of making fire?
At that moment, someone appeared behind the boy.
She was a girl who looked like a high school student, a head taller than the boy.
The girl with the hair roller wrapped around her bangs snatched the sketchbook from the boy and wrote something.
And then he unfolded himself towards me.
What the? I zoomed in on my sketchbook with my phone.
[The picture is so bad.]
Hey! My drawing is old? That can’t be true.
Although I did not do any practical work, I completed the montage training course.
The instructor said my montage was too aesthetically pleasing to be used as a montage.
Maybe because he was young, he didn’t understand my aesthetics.
Well then, I guess I have no choice but to explain it in words.
I tore off the wallpaper three more times and divided the writing into sections.
[‘Fire in front of the rooftop emergency exit’
‘If you shine a light under the detector,’
‘The emergency exit will open.’]
Even though she read all of my writing, the girl didn’t seem to understand.
However, the boy seemed to understand the content of the writing and explained it to the girl while gesturing towards the ceiling.
The two of them glanced at me and chatted, then went inside.
Are you going up to the roof?
Then I should prepare too.
I went around the houses and collected things that could be used as materials for the bow.
An umbrella stand made of arrows, and a tubing band for home training as a bowstring.
The problem was the bow.
I would like to have something like bamboo, but I haven’t found anything that looks similar.
It seemed like I had no choice but to use the curtain rod as a bow and overlap the tubing bands to increase elasticity.
Even though the bow was almost finished, the kids didn’t show up on the rooftop.
By any chance, did you get attacked by a monster fish-like monster while climbing up to the rooftop?
I went to the railing and looked around.
At that moment, the rooftop door of Building 108 opened wide and the children came running in, out of breath.
I waved my hand, but the kids didn’t look up and started bringing in things from around the area to block the emergency exit.
Did a monster follow you?
Even though I blocked the emergency exit with debris, it shook as if there was an earthquake.
The girl took out the bow on her shoulder and aimed it at the emergency exit.
Then he turned his head and shouted at me.
“Hey, salty guy! Get up to the rooftop. Save me quickly.”
What are you talking about? Save me?
I was going to give you food and water.
As I communicated through pictures and text, it seemed like there was a miscommunication.
I guess the kids thought I was going to save them.
What should I do with this?
The kids’ situation has become dire.
The top of the emergency exit was seen breaking off, sending debris flying.
The girl shot an arrow toward the emergency exit.
The bow the girl was holding was the archery bow seen at the Olympics.
Looking at his familiar form as he pulled the bowstring, his skilled shooting, and the gym clothes he was wearing, I thought he might be an archer.
Well then, there must be a way.
I shouted in a loud voice.
“Is there a rope there?”
The child listened to me, disappeared for a moment, and then reappeared holding a rope in his hand.
As expected, there’s a lot of clutter piled up on that rooftop, probably because of construction. That’s a relief.
“Okay, tie a rope to the arrow and shoot it to the 20th floor. I’ll open the window. Got it?”
Judging by the quietness despite my loud voice, I figured the monsters underwater wouldn’t react to this level of noise.
Instead, the emergency exit, which had seemed quiet for a moment, began to shake again and debris began to fly.
“What do you want me to do?”
As the girl asked a question, the boy began to explain.
I pointed to the 20th floor window of our building, the bow, and the rope, and pretended to walk the tightrope with both hands, and the girl nodded.
I quickly ran down to the 20th floor and opened the window wide.
As soon as I opened it, an arrow flew past and grazed my shoulder.
The arrow with the string tied to it was stuck in the ground.
Is that girl a national team player? Why does she shoot so well?
No, were you targeting me?
If the string hadn’t been so tangled, it might have been stuck in my heart.
Come to think of it, he called me a salty guy.
How do you not know? Is this the person you met when you were in the safety department?
I was demoted to the Life Safety Department because of the Ark Church issue.
Let’s get ready quickly, you can ask when you get here.
I pulled the rope and tied it to the refrigerator.
Just in case the refrigerator got dragged, they dragged a large TV stand in front of the refrigerator.
And a thick blanket was spread out in front of it.
“Did you tie the rope well too?”
At my shout, the boy put his arms together and made an okay sign.
At that moment, the emergency exit of the building broke and a monster fish entered the rooftop.
The girl shot an arrow at the monster fish.
The arrow hit the monster fish’s body, but bounced off its scales.
Still, the monster fish staggered as if it was shocked.
I shouted.
“Shoot the knees or legs. They’re weaker than the torso.”
At my shout, the girl shot at the monster fish’s leg.
An arrow was stuck in the monster fish’s leg.
“Kaaaak!”
The monster fish screamed and fell down.
“Now come over quickly!”
Even though the arrow has been stuck, the monster fish will soon wake up.
The girl gave the boy a signal to go first.
But the boy peeked his head over the railing and jumped back in surprise.
“It’s okay. Just get a short pole, attach it to the rope, hold on to the pole, and you’ll slide over.”
I taught my child rope climbing skills.
The boy did as I said and brought a short stick.
And when I tried to hang the pole on the rope, I glanced down.
Then the boy seemed frozen and couldn’t move.
“Don’t worry. I’ll catch you. Don’t look down, just look forward.”
Despite my advice, the boy remained motionless.
At that moment, the monster fish tried to rise.
The girl shot the arrow again, this time at the monster fish’s leg.
At that moment, the monster fish lowered its body.
The arrow bounced off the monster fish’s body scales.
Whether it was the monster fish’s base or the wound on its leg that caused its body to tilt, the arrow that bounced off was the last one the girl had.
The girl shouted at the boy.
“Hoyoung! Hurry up!”
“I can’t do it, Sister. Sister, I’ll go alone.”
“no.”
The two of them didn’t know what to do.
I put the rope on and threw it through the window.
And I held the rope and stood on the outer wall.
“You said Hoyoung. If Hoyoung falls, this hyung will climb down the rope and rescue him. Don’t worry.”
In fact, even if that boy fell, there was no way for me to save him.
Even if the floor is water, if you fall from the roof, your neck will break and you will die instantly.
Even if you survive, monsters like piranhas will rush in and bite you.
But even false psychological stability can bring out human courage.
The reason you can jump from a high building and do high-altitude training without any problems is because there is an air cushion installed below.
Even if you fall just a little bit wrong, you will crash into the concrete next to the air cushion.
The boy made up his mind, hung the pole on the rope and threw himself.
The boy landed safely on the blanket I had laid out for him.
The monster fish came running, limping.
The girl narrowly avoided the monster fish’s claws and climbed onto the rope.
