Chapter 119 – 119. Ominous

I returned to the base and told the group the story of what happened today.

I had no idea how to convey the story about my younger brother.

Isn’t that so? Everyone gathered here is a person who has lost a family member. But what would happen if we told them that there was a way to revive a dead person in front of them?

‘You might feel envious and then jealous.’

If they think they have a chance to revive their families, they will definitely become frustrated or jealous. This can’t be helped. Even if it were me, I would feel the same way if I were in the same situation as them.

‘But now I can’t come and look for all the family members.’

Moreover, if they settle down in earnest and begin to survive, it becomes difficult to let them go. There is no telling what will happen later if we let those who know where we are located leave without any protection.

‘No method. Anyway, these people’s families can’t even find their bodies. I don’t have time to go back to Seoul and find the bodies of their families.’

So, they may leave saying they will go and find it on their own, or they may depend on me to help them.

Will that work? Honestly, it is quite possible that 80 percent of the body has already been lost. Also, even if a person is wandering around as a zombie, it is almost impossible to find their family members who have already rotted away and whose faces are difficult to recognize among the thousands or tens of thousands of zombies.

‘But it is also impossible to completely hide the existence of my younger brother. Kang Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyung have already confirmed the existence of my younger brother. It can’t be dismissed as a secret.’

No method. I just have to be honest and tell everything. Hiding it is also funny. I have to tell you well.

“So.. There was a way to revive it?”

“…That’s right. “If more than 80 percent of the body remains intact, there is a chance.”

Each person who heard my words reacted differently. She said that the one father and daughter would not have been able to be saved anyway because more than 80 percent of their bodies were lost. She was sad, and Park Seon-hwa also shook her head, saying that it was too late to come and look for her, and that she did not want to be frustrated anymore.

Also, Lee Hee-jung, who had already buried her younger brother, muttered that it would be difficult to revive him because he had decayed, and she shook her head blankly.

Fortunately or unfortunately, no one asked to go find the bodies of their family members. After listening to it, there seemed to be no one suitable for maintaining more than 80% of the body.

Everyone gave up their minds. If even one of your arms or legs were to fly off while you were walking around as a zombie, it would be wrong to revive them.

“If I die in the future, I should pay attention to the fact that there is a possibility of being revived as long as the body is intact.”

The group nodded silently at Yeongsik’s words.

Of course, it may not be that easy to revive, but it was much better to believe that there was even a possibility than to die permanently and never be able to be revived again.

“First of all, thank you for your hard work today, let’s go to sleep soon.”

“Okay. Good job, Yeongsik.”

In a slightly solemn atmosphere, we selected the group that would leave for Busan tomorrow, and after telling them how to use the items we had acquired today, we disbanded the meeting.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve been together.”

“Hehe.. I see.”

The members going to Busan tomorrow are me, Ayun, and Yeongsik.

Since there was a labyrinth anchorage, we decided not to move all together. It seemed better if only a few people suitable for combat went to Busan and the rest stayed here in Mulgeum.

This is because not only are there a relatively large number of people who have not yet reached level 5, but if I die in Busan, it will all be over.

I already knew that the situation in Busan was serious, so I didn’t want to go there with everyone and cause deaths.

“Inho.. Thank you.”

“Thank you. “I’ll bring you out soon.”

Sister Saeyeon hugged me tightly. Hyuna held my hand and told me to come back, and Ayun seemed a little happy at the thought of going outside with me instead of conquering the labyrinth for the first time in a while.

“Then let’s all prepare for tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

“I’m so excited that I don’t think I can sleep.”

“Ayoon.. What on earth are you looking forward to..”

“Huh? Hehe. “Secret.”

Surely murder isn’t something to be expected? Probably not.

Ah Yuni’s madness has already been suppressed with her skills, so there is no way she could have lost to the madness.

“But sister. That black guy. “Isn’t it a little bigger?”

“Haha.. That’s right. I fed him well and he kept growing..”

Now that I think about it, it feels like the black thread hanging around Saeyeon’s neck has become longer and thicker. This is growing quite quickly.

“Feeling bigger every day?”

“If it gets a little longer, it will look like a real snake.”

“Yes, yes.”

Saeyeon stroked her black hair and tried to put on a bright expression.

However, his expression was filled with worry and anxiety.

Because I don’t know if I’ll be able to see my family again tomorrow.

Moreover, if Busan had already been completely destroyed as Choi Ji-cheol said, it was highly likely that Saeyeon’s family would have moved to another place, contrary to their promise to meet in Jingu.

‘Busan isn’t just a remote corner of the country… Will I be able to find it?’

If they are not at the meeting place, there is a very high possibility that I will not be able to find them, so I feel anxious.

Kang Ji-yeon’s parents left at least a trace and were able to find her in a day, but if they hadn’t left any trace, it would have been quite difficult to find them.

Still, I’ll try my best. You have to try until you can.

******

“Huh…”

Body wet with cold sweat. I feel a little dizzy.

I had a slightly unpleasant nightmare.

I couldn’t quite remember what it was about, but I felt uneasy anyway.

Is it because I’ve been killing so many people these days that I’m like this? It seems like I am so devastated on the inside.

“Inho.. Why…?”

“No. It’s nothing, sister. “Sleep more.”

I patted Saeyeon’s head and then went outside.

Something feels strange today. It was a strange feeling, as if something bad was going to happen.

I don’t usually dream a lot, but it’s strange.

“This is my first time like this…”

I hurried out of the labyrinth.

“Whoa..”

The cold air welcomes me.

I suddenly woke up and came to my senses.

“Hmm..”

There was nothing happening outside. It’s very quiet. It just felt like dawn right before sunrise.

-Kkiik..

When I opened the door of the house and went inside, everyone was covered in blankets and asleep. Perhaps because the magic stone stove was turned on, it wasn’t as cold as outside.

“…”

“Miss.. I’m surprised.”

Seongho, who had become a zombie, sat blankly. Since she was a zombie, it seems she didn’t need to sleep. Next to Seongho, Song was seen sitting down and shaking her head. Is the dark spirit sleeping?

Anyway, everyone was safe. Maybe it was just a simple dream.

‘Hmm..’

First, I stood in front of the Infinite Labyrinth dock erected in the yard of my house.

“Registration.”

The labyrinth designated as the base was registered in the anchorage.

As I informed my companions earlier, today I plan to leave my companions behind and go down to Busan with only a few elite people.

Since we didn’t know what the conditions would be like in Busan, we decided to only go to those who could fight rather than stampede and cause death.

For example, I wonder what it would be like if it were Ayun, me, my father, and Yeongsik. Also, I plan to bring along Lee Do-hyung, who will drive the car. If I walk, it will take about 7 hours, and if I ride a bike, it will take more than 3 hours, so I plan to drive all the way down.

If you drive from Mulgeum to Busan, you can get there within an hour, even if it takes about 30 minutes.

‘Busan.. If Choi Ji-cheol said, it must be in a state no different from the devil world.’

Soldiers shooting guns, police officers hunting down civilians, gangsters who have turned around, and violent survivors who only attack others due to the broken public order.

I took my weapon.

“Hmm..”

First of all, since I will be leaving Saeyeon behind, I plan to put the necessary items and daily necessities into the portable storage unit that I purchased yesterday.

“Let’s see, there’s a door that can be opened with a key..”

The front door of our house is a lock, so there is no key hole. But the back warehouse is possible.

I opened the warehouse door with the mobile storage key.

‘It’s about 4 pyeong in size.’

There was a 4-pyeong room that was tightly closed on all sides.

Opening the door with the key leads to this room called the storage room. So, as long as you can find a door with a keyhole, you can get to the storage room from anywhere.

This meant that even non-awakened people with low or no survival level could be placed in storage and moved in a hurry.

“Hmm.”

I went into the storage room. It was less cold than outside, but still quite cold. Moreover, when we went inside and closed the door, it became very dark. It seemed like I had to bring a separate light.

‘If I’m locked up for this long, I’ll go crazy.’

There is no light and no sound. If more than 5 people came in, there would be insufficient oxygen and it was impossible to go out without a key.

“When you leave, you can leave where you came in..”

If I, the person with the key, enters this space, I will exit through the door I came in from.

If I use the key in another place, the entrance will be fixed there, but if not, I will inevitably exit through the door I came in through.

“Then..”

If I escape inside and the door we came through from the outside is smashed, where will we go out? I can’t know. No one could know where the entrance would lead unless they tried it themselves.

“I would be a little scared if it led to a place like the back room.”

I’m scared just by imagining it. For example, I was chased by a monster that was difficult to deal with and ran into a storage room, but the monster that was chasing me outside destroyed the entrance, and from then on I was headed into unknown territory.

“Whoa.”

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time again. Let’s pack some necessary items in the storage room before sunrise.

I also have an inventory, but I can only store 5 items, so I’m running out of money just to bring weapons, so I’ll have to put the things I need in storage.
