Apocalypse in Water Episode 3

Episode 3

The monster fish slipped and stepped on the vomit I had thrown up.

Vomit, which is always difficult to deal with after drinking, is so thankful at this moment.

I jumped right out of that gap.

First of all, I thought I had to run away to the house right downstairs.

Find something at home that could be used as a weapon and report it to the police again.

But it’s a weapon.

The pistol has already been returned, and at best, there is a priest’s three-section baton.

There is a kitchen knife in the kitchen, but considering the body of a guy who can even bounce a golf club, it’s not even close to that.

The scales attached to its torso seemed to act like bulletproof armor.

If so, report it to the police.

My phone wasn’t working just a moment ago, so will it be able to connect when I get home?

Meanwhile, that monster will break down my front door and come in.

There was a way to escape by going all the way down to the first floor, but there was a possibility that a monster fish like that one was hiding on the lower floor.

Don’t risk your life on vain hopes.

Let’s go up instead.

It wasn’t a perfect solution, but it seemed like a viable alternative.

The monster fish must have come up from the bottom, so it probably hasn’t gotten to the top yet.

First, go up and ask people for help, and if that doesn’t work, go to the roof and find a way out.

Since the rooftop was filled with junk, there was a chance that there might be a weapon that could be used as a variable.

If that doesn’t work, we’ll just light a fire.

Then the fire helicopter will take off right away.

Although this apartment is located in the outskirts of Seoul, it is still located in Seoul and is surrounded by high-rise buildings and new apartments.

There was no time to worry.

The sound of a monster fish rising was heard behind me.

I looked back and saw the guy stepping on the debris again and staggering.

But soon, he regained his composure and tried to chase after me.

Perhaps because it wasn’t underwater, the guy wasn’t as fast as a beast.

But it wasn’t as slow as a zombie.

I jumped up.

I arrived upstairs, gasping for breath, and oh my!

I stood still in surprise.

The front door upstairs appeared to be broken.

Just like the lower floor, it was split in two, clearly the work of a monster fish.

Damn, I took the wrong route!

Knock! Knock!

I heard the sound of a monster fish coming up from below.

There was no time to think.

First, it bounced back up.

What the hell! It’s the same here.

This time again the front door was seen to be broken down.

What should I do?

What should I do? I have to go up.

I jumped back up again.

As I was looking for the unbroken front door, I found myself on the rooftop.

As I went up, I saw that the front doors on every floor were broken.

“What the heck! What the heck is that monster fish!”

Before I knew it, I was cursing and my body was trembling.

The hideous sight of the monster fish, the scene of cannibalism, and the despair of having nowhere to run came rushing in.

“Calm down. Calm down. Come to your senses! Kim Si-hyeon!”

I held my breath and breathed as slowly as I could.

It was a breathing technique used to maintain composure in urgent situations.

I started to feel a little less tense and came to my senses.

What is that monster fish?

Is it maybe makeup or something?

When you rob a bank or commit a terrorist attack, you wear things like ski masks or masks to hide your identity.

Latex masks in particular were quite realistic and could take on a variety of shapes, including the faces of dogs, horses, aliens, and celebrities.

Let’s say the head is wearing a latex mask, but what about the body?

The body that had been hit with a golf club did not feel soft like a doll’s body.

It felt dull, as if I had been hit by a solid piece of armor.

And the long fingernails were just like a weapon.

I looked down at my torn arm.

The wound was quite deep, as if it had been cut with a knife.

Fortunately, however, it did not appear that any bones or muscles were injured.

I felt like I needed to go to the hospital, but it was difficult in the current situation.

This wasn’t the first or second time I had experienced this, so I tore my clothes and wrapped them around my arms to stop the bleeding.

Injuries of this magnitude were a common occurrence on the job.

No matter how much I thought about it, the monster fish wasn’t human.

Is it a creature? Is it a monster?

Is it the same type of monster that appears in movies or comics?

Come to think of it, I’ve seen descriptions of similar monsters.

I thought about it for a moment and shook my head vigorously.

What the heck, you’re thinking all sorts of crazy things! Hey, no way!

It was a mural of a cathedral that the Ark Church called the Ark.

The mural depicting a world submerged in water was filled with all sorts of bizarre and scary monsters.

Some resembled fish, like monster fish, others resembled crustaceans like crayfish or crabs, some had tentacles, and some were downright alien-like monsters.

The Ark prophesied that a flood of judgment would come and the world would be submerged in water and purified.

At that time, numerous monsters appeared and said they would eat the fallen humans.

Even a child can imagine that he can do better than that.

Rather than believing what the quacks were saying, it seemed much more reasonable and plausible to assume that this was all a dream.

And the way to prove it was simple.

I slapped his cheek with all my might without a moment’s hesitation.

It must have been so hard that tears welled up in my eyes.

But the sight before my eyes did not change at all.

Oh my god! This isn’t a dream.

“Krrrr!”

I could hear the sound of a monster fish coming up from below.

There was no time to delay any longer.

I tried opening the emergency exit on the roof.

But the emergency exit was firmly locked and would not open.

Even though I was stuck in a dead end situation, I didn’t panic.

The fact that it wasn’t a dream was an unexpected result, but the closed emergency exit was expected.

There was a time when a woman who seemed to be the tenant representative tried to close the rooftop emergency exit.

He used to go around collecting signatures from residents, saying that if someone climbed up to the rooftop and committed suicide, the value of the house would fall.

I didn’t like the rooftop closure.

As I encountered many accidents and incidents, I had great concerns about safety in emergencies.

Months of tedious arguments and shouting followed as they attempted to block the rooftop emergency exit, citing fire code grounds.

The resident representative lady had a strong personality, but I was no pushover either.

As neither side backed down, a compromise was reached through mediation by the community center to install an automatic opening/closing device for the rooftop entrance door.

I took a lighter out of my pocket and held it just below the smoke detector on the ceiling.

I was a little worried that it might be a smoke detector, but I’m sure they installed heat detectors because of the smokers.

Beep!

Well then, that’s right!

I clenched my fist in victory.

When the fire alarm sounded, the rooftop emergency door opened automatically.

I jumped straight up onto the roof.

The original plan was to search the junk piled up in the corner of the rooftop for anything that could be used as a weapon, something to block the emergency exit, and something to burn in an emergency.

As soon as I got out, I checked that the emergency door was locked again.

The rooftop emergency exit looked thicker and sturdier than the front door of the house, but it was hard to see how it could withstand the claws of a monster fish that could slice the front door in two.

Still, I can buy some time, so I need to find something that can be used as a weapon and get materials to make a fire.

If a fire breaks out on the roof, people around you will immediately check and report it to the police and fire department.

As I approached the pile of junk in the corner, I felt a strange sense of unease.

I had been up to the rooftop several times before the automatic opening and closing device was installed.

The rooftops were always in the shade due to the skyscrapers that were densely packed around the area.

But then the light came on, and it felt like something hanging over my head had disappeared.

Looking up, the sun was rising in the vast sky, even though it was drizzling.

Is the rainy season finally ending, as the weather forecast says?

But my view is now clear.

It was like looking at a panoramic photo of the sky.

Yes. This is it. This sense of openness was the essence of the feeling of discomfort.

Here, the skyscrapers are clearly lined up like a ring, blocking the view.

I looked around.

There was not a single high-rise apartment building or skyscraper that should have been there.

No way! I thought and ran to the railing.

I held onto the railing and turned my head this way and that.

It seems that the buildings within the complex with similar floors are the same, just like the acorns.

Oh! Isn’t that it too?

I can’t see buildings 118 and 119, which are attached to the road.

Where have the 16-lane highways, the endless rows of buildings, and the villa villages that used to line the roads, all of which should have been behind us?

Beyond the apartment complex, as if it were an image file with the background erased, everything was filled with blue, a deep blue different from the blue of the sky.

At first, I thought it was an augmented reality like VR unfolding before my eyes.

But then the deep blue color starts to sparkle.

I wondered what it was, but it was the reflection of the sunlight that was starting to come in little by little.

Like sunlight rippling on waves.

“Water! Water!”

A cry escaped my mouth, neither a gasp nor a scream.

In fact, from the first time I saw the deep blue color, I knew it was water.

But is this cognitive dissonance?

Why is there water there?

It’s like ice burning on fire, it can never exist and it shouldn’t exist.

Really, is the whole world underwater?

Rather than despair, my head was frozen in shock and my body would not move.

Phew!

At that moment, a loud noise rang out that shook the apartment.

At that sound, my body moved naturally as if I had just eaten an ice cube.

I instinctively ran toward Building 101 where the loud noise was coming from.
