Chapter 124 – 124. Alpha Male
The entrance to the apartment where Hyuna’s mother lived was full of human heads. It seemed like a kind of territorial mark, a sign indicating that this place had become a ghoul’s nest.
“Fuck…”
The worst situation unfolded before our eyes. Hyuna couldn’t say anything and just stared blankly at the entrance to the apartment.
“Tongue, Hyeon-ya.”
“…Huh? Ah. Yes..”
Hyuna finally came to her senses at my call and answered in a dazed voice.
She once again hid her feelings, as if trying not to reveal her emotional turmoil as much as possible.
“I’m going crazy..”
His father got out of the car and sighed. And Mr. Do-hyeong sat in the driver’s seat and just looked through the rear-view mirror.
“Hyunya, for now. I’ll go and see it. I’m waiting.”
“Inho oppa, let’s go together.”
“Do you want to do that?”
“Huh. Let’s go together.”
We got out of the car. I was planning to check out the apartment properly together. Because he may have left traces saying he left somewhere else.
“Uuuuu…”
The zombies who followed the sound of the car summoned a dark spirit and took the aggro to another location. In a situation like this, we couldn’t let zombies flock in and start a fight.
“Dad, would you like to wait with Mr. Dohyeong?”
“Okay. “Of course.”
I put the recognition-impairing ring on Hyuna and headed toward the apartment.
“…”
As the entrance to the apartment got closer and closer, Hyuna spoke less, and soon she completely closed her mouth.
I checked around the entrance to the apartment while squeezing Hyuna’s hand.
‘Hmm..?’
Then I discovered something a little strange. Trace observation was activated and it was revealed that the heads stuck at the entrance to the apartment were not human.
“Inho oppa. This..”
“Uh. “It’s not a human head.”
When I saw it from a distance, it looked like a human head, but when I looked closer, it looked like a ghoul’s head.
It had that distorted appearance characteristic of a ghoul. It was also clear that it was a ghoul as it had a lot of hair missing. There was even a half-decomposed zombie head stuck in it.
No, why are there so many ghoul and zombie heads sticking out of the apartment entrance?
“Conversely, if you hunted ghouls and hung them up like this to show off…”
“So there are survivors in the apartment..?”
We passed the entrance to the apartment.
-Wow.
For a moment, I felt like I had passed through a translucent membrane.
I felt a strange sensation as if I had passed through a barrier, and at the same time, I felt someone’s gaze.
“…”
“This is..”
It’s a fairly high-handed gaze.
And it wasn’t just me who felt it.
“Hey, Inho oppa..”
Hyuna called me as if she was anxious.
I immediately prepared for the enemy’s attack. By activating presence detection, he identified the enemy’s location and at the same time drew his sword and pumped his physical abilities to expand the detection range.
“One person.”
The location is the rooftop.
I raised my head and kept a close eye on the place where I felt a presence.
Soon a blurry shape came into view.
“..?”
The person who was looking down at us from the rooftop, smoking a cigarette… Surprisingly, was a middle-aged woman.
However, the outfit is unusual.
Should I say that this outfit is too funky to be considered an ajumma? There was an unusual aura from wearing a leather jacket.
Could it be that that lady…
“Uh, Mom..?”
“What?”
At that time, Hyuna also waved her hand as if she had spotted her aunt standing on the rooftop.
“Is it true?”
“Yes? Ah. Yes. Hehe.. I’ve been a big fan of Matrix for a long time.. So I think it’s an outfit like that. “I guess I took it out and wore it because I didn’t have to worry about what other people thought..?”
“Aha.. Do you smoke too?”
“Yes. Because my father is not home. “My mom raised me alone, and she smoked since she was young.”
“Well, I see.”
He seemed like a strong person. No, he had already proven his strength by hanging the heads of ghouls at the entrance to the apartment in the first place.
“Daughter.”
“Mom!”
Hyuna’s mother soon came down to the first floor and called her daughter as if they had met yesterday. It seemed dry, but the voice seemed to be full of warmth.
I naturally checked her skills.
[Creating barrier (A)]
[Effect: You can detect the presence of intruders by surrounding a certain area with a barrier.]
[Handicap: One severed head is required to hit the barrier.]
[Penalty: You become more sensitive while using the skill.]
[Unreachable (A)]
[Effect: Surrounds a certain area with a barrier to prevent the specified entity from approaching.]
[Handicap: You must use at least 3 heads of the specified being.]
[Penalty: Sometimes you can taunt hostile creatures in reverse.]
He had two skills that seemed very useful. This means that the survival level has already exceeded 10.
‘The weapons and accessories I’m wearing all look like items..’
I think this person may have completely robbed the small labyrinth created in Gimhae by himself. There were very few survivors, so she was monopolizing Gimhae, which had become a ghost town.
“But who is there?”
“Ah, my name is Kang In-ho. Hyuna’s… “
“My boyfriend.”
“Okay? He’s tall. Did you cut your hair short on purpose?”
“Oh, yes.”
Hyuna’s mother nodded her head in response to my answer and held out her hand. I held her hand and shook it.
Even though he said he was her daughter’s boyfriend, all he got was a lukewarm response, thinking it was just that.
“I’m Gu A-young.”
After a brief self-introduction, the mother looked at Hyuna and started talking about her current situation.
“I didn’t know you would come alive in person.”
“Here, Inho oppa brought me here.”
“Thank you for taking good care of my daughter.”
“No. Haha..”
“Actually, I was already planning to go to Seoul to look for you.”
“Really?”
“Uh. Even though it looked like this, I was quite worried.”
It seems that Hyuna’s mother was preparing to find her daughter in her own way.
“But you two came all the way from Seoul?”
“No, there are more people with us. “It has settled down in the water.”
“Aha. I see Then I guess I should go there too.”
“Yes. “I brought the car too… “
“I’ll go in my car. Just follow me.”
“Oh, yes.”
“And… I’m just asking just in case. Do you know that winter and night are coming soon?”
“Ah.”
Surprisingly, my mother already knew her information about Winter Night.
“By any chance… “Did you get the survivor’s journal?”
“I guess Inho got that too?”
“Yes.”
“Then the story will be quick. In the future, we will enter an infinite labyrinth..”
“We have already prepared an infinite labyrinth to use as a base. It can accommodate up to 30 people and has a safety area. There are ways to obtain drinking water, and we can supply our own food.”
“Wow.. Haha! I didn’t know that preparations had already been completed. That’s amazing. It’s only the 2nd week and already.. His skills are good. “I like it.”
Hyuna’s mother was happy and she patted my shoulder. She seemed very happy when she said that she had already prepared an infinite labyrinth to use as her base. She had an expression as if she was looking at her son-in-law, who had purchased a house with a salary worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
After hearing the story, she said that her mother had not found the infinite labyrinth yet. She said that instead she visited the purple gate, so she visited the store about 2 times and bought several survival items.
“This is reassuring. Hyunya. “You asked a great person.”
“Oh, Mom.”
“Thank you, my daughter. In the end, a man must have good abilities. It would be better if he was handsome and capable. Haha.”
Contrary to her initial cold impression of her, my mother had a lively personality. It was strange because she felt like a female version of my father.
No, my father is quirky and has a bit of a four-dimensional temperament, so he can’t be considered exactly the same. My father is an even stranger person.
“Then, let’s say hello to my in-laws.”
“Oh, yes.”
We came out of the apartment.
My father and Lee Do-hyeong, who were leaning against the van and smoking cigarettes together, put out their cigarettes and looked surprised when we came outside.
“Are you alive?”
“Yes. Those heads were also my mother-in-law’s work.”
“Huh. Nice to meet you, Master. This is Kang Han-cheol. “This guy is a father to me.”
“Nice to meet you. “My name is Gu A-young, Hyuna’s biological mother.”
The two briefly introduced themselves and shook hands.
“That one…”
“Ah, my name is Lee Do-hyung. Uh… The driver.”
“Aha.”
Once even Mr. Dohyeong, who was standing awkwardly, finished greeting us, we were able to return to Mulgeum.
Fortunately, since I was planning to go to Seoul later today, I had already moved most of my luggage into the car, so I was able to leave right away.
Nothing much happened on the way back.
“But brother. What should I do now?”
“Huh? Ah.”
While riding in the car, Hyuna, who seemed to be in a much better mood than before, suddenly looked worried and asked me.
It was none other than how to explain Saeyeon and Ayun.
This is ironic, even though the four of us had nothing to do with it, it was a bit difficult to convince our parents.
“First, let me explain. If you don’t understand. Hmm.”
“Are you going to kick me out?”
“Hey, you can’t do that.”
When I see Hyuna’s face hanging on me, I can’t bear to chase her away.
I can only hope that they will understand.
Soon we were able to return home.
******
Approximately two days have passed since the party’s families were rescued.
During those two days, we robbed most of the remaining stores in Mulgeum, brought in cars, and built a barricade with cars around our house to strengthen our base to prevent others from easily entering.
We also decided to have some time to get to know each other by eating grilled meat and drinking alcohol.
On the first day, it was very awkward because we were all strangers, but after a drink or two, a lively conversation took place.
Yes, alcohol was the answer. After having a drink, the adults sang songs and had a great time.
Hee-jeong and Seung-hee, who were still minors, were drinking cola and chatting in a corner, while Yeong-sik and Park Seon-hwa were drinking when they both suddenly disappeared somewhere.
I think I might have been hit in the eye. Thank god. Spring has come to Yeongsik too.
Haha..”
Just when everyone thought there was finally some level of harmony, the hearing suddenly began.
“Ah…”
I was sitting on a chair and was suddenly surrounded by three adults.
From the left, Saeyeon’s father was holding a bottle of soju, Hyuna’s mother was holding a can of beer, and her father was tearing off a squid leg.
“Okay. Son-in-law.”
“You didn’t try to get away with messing with three women, right?”
“Oh, that.”
“You should get scolded. “Son.”
“Ah, father..”
From then on, I was harassed by three half-drunk people for about two hours. For example, being fed a lot of alcohol, not being silent if your daughter makes you cry, or being grateful for saving your daughter by giving her a drink.
“Wooow…Wooow…”
The amount of alcohol they fed me, half out of malice and half out of gratitude, was truly enormous.
It’s been a while since I drank too much, and I felt so sick that I went outside the house, held on to a tree, and vomited for a long time.
Still, I’m glad I skipped over this. Honestly, if I were a father with a daughter, I don’t think I could bear it.
Isn’t that right? When some bald bastard comes to me and tells me that he has a harem with your daughter, I get murderous and want to kill him.
“Whoa…”
I roughly rinsed my mouth with bottled water and decided to walk around the neighborhood for a while to sober up.
“Hey. Are you going for a walk?”
At that time, Sae-ah followed me out.
“Uh.? Huh. Why?”
“Oh, just. “I also want to walk a bit.”
“Is that so?”
I nodded and started walking without saying anything.
Then Sae-ah naturally walked next to me.
I was still half drunk and didn’t have the presence of mind to talk to her.
“Over there.”
“Huh?”
“Thank you.”
“Uh.. What.”
She thanked me for saving her. She said it seemed like she didn’t greet me properly.
“Whoa..”
As soon as I hit the cold air, I came back to my senses a little.
“Let’s go back now.”
“Yes. “I.. But oppa.”
“Huh?”
“How far did you go out with my sister?”
“Huh? “What’s the point of going out?”
“No, how far have we progressed?”
“Uh? That’s right.. Because I’m an adult..”
“Everything.. Even sleeping with my sister..”
“Ah. Uh. Um… No, what is the topic all of a sudden..”
As I was about to go home again, my new daughter brought up her story about my relationship with Saeyeon. What am I curious about? Is she sad that her sister was taken away?
How old is Sae-ah now?
“Hey.. Sae-ah, how old were you?”
“I’m 21.”
“What about your boyfriend?”
“I had one person… We dated for a month when I was in middle school and it ended. It just feels like a kid’s prank.”
“Uhm..”
It appears that Sae-ah was still a virgin.
Well, Saeyeon, who was 30 years old, was also a virgin…
“So.. What do you want to say?”
“That’s… Her sister experienced it too. “It’s a bit unfair that I’m the only one who can’t do it and die.”
“Uh… So, now with me… Hey! Well, that’s not right..”
“No, it’s not like that. See. The only men with potential here are Yeongsik oppa or Inho oppa… Yeongsik oppa is not my type..”
“Uh. “I have a crazy head too?”
“You have a handsome face.”
“…”
I had nothing to say.
Our group is definitely a bit deformed.
There were as many as eight young, unmarried women, but Yeongsik and I were the only men of that age.
Moreover, Yeongsik was more strict than handsome, so a strange phenomenon occurred where the subject of the textbook ended up being me.
‘I’m glad that Park Seon-hwa hangs out with Yeong-sik..’
After all, Yoo Sae-ah was a girl in her prime and she was 21, a very suitable age for her her first experience.
Maybe if the world hadn’t been ruined, she would have been able to get a boyfriend and have a normal first experience.
Needless to say, he already has three women and is his older sister’s boyfriend.
“Oppa.”
“Uh.. Huh?”
“I’m fine.”
“Well, that..”
If Saeyeon wants to get a girl, she first asks her to say something…
“My sister is fine too.”
“W-what? No.. What is that?”
“Everyone stopped following us now. Why?”
“Oh, that’s uh. Well, what is it? No, what’s going on… I don’t understand.”
“My brother… Is public property.”
“No!! A healthy person is a public good…! I’m not even a prostitute! What kind of bullshit is that..”
“Just think of it that way. My brother is the only sane man, so what should I do? Please follow me first. “There is something I looked at during the day.”
“Uh. Uh oh. Hey. Don’t do that. Uh huh.”
Suddenly, while still a little drunk, she was grabbed by Sae-ah’s hand and dragged into an empty building.
This is something strange.
I was planning on living with just three people, but something went wrong.
