Episode 11
【 Formation of Survival Fam 】
The girl landed curled up on the blanket.
“Are you okay?”
I held out my hand to help her up, but the girl shook her butt as if she didn’t need it and got up on her own.
Then I checked to see if the hair roller was in good condition.
The hair roller did not fall even with violent movements that were close to a high altitude drop.
I don’t know what hair rollers are in the apocalypse, but boys’ sideburns and girls’ hair rollers are their egos, so you shouldn’t touch them carelessly.
But that girl doesn’t even look at me, so I think she has some resentment towards me.
Really, did you meet at the Life Safety Department?
I did give some harsh words to the kids I met at the Life Safety Department.
But there was no one who held a grudge against me or felt bad about me.
Kids are young and inexperienced, not stupid.
It may seem like he doesn’t listen to adults, but he will listen well if you tell him what is reasonable and common sense.
Instead, if you try to use your authority or treat them unfairly, they will resist like fighters.
I tried to remember if I had ever seen a girl, but she ran to the window.
Then, he stretched out his arm vigorously and pointed his middle finger toward the roof of Building 106.
“You fucking monster! You ate my mom and dad, and now you’re trying to eat me. Did you think I’d get hurt? Wait! I’ll come kill you soon.”
The girl screamed and cursed.
I understand her actions, but I don’t think there’s a need to provoke her unnecessarily.
The monster fish was looking this way, its mouth watering.
The provocation actually worked, as the monster fish imitated the children and grabbed the rope with both arms.
What the heck! Is that guy intelligent?
The guy I killed last time didn’t seem to be very intelligent.
By the way, the monster fish’s head shape was different.
Last time it looked like a sea bass, but this time it resembled a trout, and its limbs were a bit shorter and more balanced, making it look more like a human form.
Maybe the cow just happened to back away and you put your hand on the rope like you were catching a rat.
I opened up the monster encyclopedia and looked for a species that resembled a monster fish.
The boy approached me with interest in the book, but the girl, still angry, continued to point her sword at the monster fish and shout.
“What? You’re coming here. Come here! When I come here, I’ll tear you to pieces, crush you, and make you into fish cakes.”
As I turned the page a little, an entry for a monster fish appeared.
[Four-legged fish: A representative marine monster with a fish body and head and human arms and legs. It has sharp claws that can break steel if scratched. The teeth are densely packed and act like a saw. The arms and legs are weak, but the body is covered in strong scales that make it impervious to most attacks. It can survive out of the water by breathing with reverse gills. It has the habit of imitating humans.]
The child who had been peeking from the side nodded and said.
“Ah! So that’s why you’re trying to climb the rope like that.”
“I guess so.”
I looked at the anatomy of the limbs as I answered.
The bones, flesh, and organs were drawn quite intricately, and each part was described.
And the flesh and some of the organs of the limbs were marked as edible.
Wow! This is a lot of information.
It became possible to secure food in a world submerged in water.
Since the limbs are a representative marine creature, no matter how many I catch, they won’t become an endangered species.
And since the liver of the four limbs is said to be good for recovering from fatigue, how should I cook it… … .
While the boy and I read the book, the monster fish crossed its arms, grabbed the rope, and wriggled.
Then, my foot slipped on the railing and I ended up hanging on the rope.
The rope buckled under the weight of the monster fish.
Although it is impossible for humans to read the fish’s expression, it was clear that the fish was confused.
His black pupils grew dilated, and he struggled, clutching the rope.
Then the monster fish began to slowly slide down.
The monster fish, which was initially bewildered, let out a proud roar as its body moved towards us.
“Kwaaak!”
The boy looked up at me in surprise.
“Ah! What should I do? A monster is coming.”
On the other hand, the girl seemed to be satisfied and swung the bow with both hands as if it were a baseball bat.
“Okay, come. I’ll make you some fish cakes.”
“No, Sister. You can’t use a bow like that. Let’s run away, get some arrows, and then fight.”
The boy stopped the girl.
It wasn’t the girl behind her that was wise, it was this kid.
I patted the boy’s head and asked the girl.
“You want to kill that freaking bastard?”
The girl looked at me for a moment.
The girl’s eyes were complex and subtle.
No matter how I look at it, it seems like something happened between the girl and me.
The girl nodded as if she had made up her mind.
I took a knife from my waistband and cut the rope.
The monster fish that came almost to our apartment fell into the sea.
with a plop!
There was a splash, and after a while the monster fish rose to the surface, but was quickly eaten by fish like piranhas.
The girl looking down at the sight burst into laughter with tears in her eyes.
It seemed like he was overcome with emotion over his parents’ revenge.
“Haha. You damn monster fish! You’ve become fish cake. Fish cake!”
“Sister! If you cry and then laugh, hair will grow in your butthole.”
The boy smiled broadly as if to comfort the girl and spoke to her.
“I didn’t cry.”
The girl wiped away her tears and roughly untied the hair roller in her bangs.
Then the forehead was revealed, and seeing the round forehead brought back memories.
“You’re Bomi, right? The friend who came with Jiyeon.”
The girl’s face hardened when she heard the name Jiyeon.
“Huh. You remember the name without even investigating it properly.”
“sorry.”
I bowed my head and apologized.
Although he was the type of person who would never bow his head no matter how much trouble the complainant caused, he felt responsible for not being able to save Jiyeon.
A year ago, Jiyeon went to the police station to report that she was about to be kidnapped.
In the west, they told me to send the child back home and left Jiyeon in my care.
I didn’t like it, but I had no choice but to take charge because of the previous incident involving a politician’s son’s drug case.
At that time, the girl who was with me and called me a friend was that girl, Bomi.
Wow, I didn’t know we lived in the same apartment.
At the time, Bomi was wearing a short school uniform skirt and had short hair that revealed her forehead.
But now she has short hair and a hair roller wrapped around her bangs, so I didn’t recognize her.
At the time I received the report, I thought that Jiyeon was crazy.
Who would believe that after being kidnapped and murdered, they would be offered up as human sacrifice?
But as we talked, the detective’s instincts kicked in and he felt like there was something there.
So I did some research and found out that there were a series of cases of runaway girls going missing.
I really feel like there’s something there.
I dug into cases that no one cared about.
Then, a pseudo-religious group called the Bangju Church appeared.
There is strong evidence that the Ark Church is carrying out serial murders in an organized and secret manner.
And there were several signs and evidences that the next target was delay.
But no matter how much I talked to my superiors, it didn’t work.
In fact, there was no clear physical evidence, only circumstantial evidence and speculation.
Rather, there was pressure from higher-ups to quickly close the case, saying it was a complaint from a child who did not want to study.
It seemed even more tense than the politician’s son’s drug case.
Since I knew there was no help anyway, I tried to get some protection.
But then the author, who was called Parent, appeared and took Jiyeon away.
I can never forget the expression Jiyeon had on her face at that time.
The next day, Jiyeon went missing.
Since then, I have been focusing on digging into the Ark Church and brought its leader to the brink of indictment.
Not only that, whenever the guys tried to do something, he would put everything aside and go find them to sabotage them.
Then, the Ark Church called me the fifth enemy of the Ark Church and made all kinds of threats and terror attacks against me.
He was stabbed in the side several times and his car was hit by a dump truck.
So, while there may be moral responsibility, it felt excessive to dwell on the botched investigation into Jiyeon’s disappearance.
But I didn’t raise my head and apologized once more.
“If I had tried harder, Jiyeon might have survived. I’m sorry.”
Although the body was never found, everyone who knew believed that Jiyeon was dead.
“It’s okay. Jiyeon still trusted the salty uncle.”
Hearing Bomi’s consolation, which wasn’t comforting, made me feel even more ashamed.
I wanted to run right now and grab the leader of the Ark Church by the collar.
Bomi bowed her head slightly to me.
“And thanks for getting revenge, Mr. Salty.”
“Please stop calling me salty. I’m done with being salty.”
The girl seemed slightly surprised by what I said.
“Because of the delay?”
“Just because. I don’t think it suits my constitution. And anyway, the world is underwater, so what use are the police?”
I shrugged and answered.
“But sir, no, sir. Why do you keep saying that Jiyeon is dead?”
“Because it went missing.”
“Just because someone is missing doesn’t mean they’re dead.”
Although Jiyeon’s body was never found, several circumstances pointed to her being murdered by the Bangju Church.
I checked with the water mole several times to make sure that Delay was really dead.
The water mole would not tell where the body was, but said it was sacrificed like other human sacrifices.
“So you’re alive?”
“Yes, of course.”
Bomi looked straight into my eyes and answered.
