Chapter 50 – 50. Is It a Gift or a Bomb?
“Who is out there..?”
“I don’t know, it’s the girl with the glasses. “Stand outside the door.”
“A woman with glasses I don’t know..? No way..”
“Uh… I’m wearing Dongyeong High School gym uniform. I think he has clairvoyance..”
A woman wearing glasses wearing a large jersey that doesn’t fit her frame. She was shivering in the hallway. She was also anxious, looking around her as she went on.
‘At this point when the sun has almost set.. Did the woman come all this way alone..?’
I doubt it. Suspicious. There may be someone behind it. The field of view that can be seen only through the external binoculars is too small. If there is someone waiting by the door with a weapon, if I make a mistake, I could die.
You cannot be quick to open the door just because the other person is a woman. Now that the world is messed up, if you believe that you are a weak person just because you are a woman, you could be in trouble.
Even Ability Insight can only be used when that woman properly recognizes me, so I couldn’t use it right now. We have to look at each other face to face.
‘On the surface, it seems like it’s just the reaction of a scared girl. Also, my eyes aren’t chasing anything. I feel like I’m alone..’
People naturally attract attention if there is someone next to them, but the little boy standing in front of the door showed no signs of that. I only felt fear that there might be zombies.
Of course, it’s just a feeling. It’s just a feeling.. You can’t judge based on emotions.
“Youngsik, give me a hammer..”
“Here..”
“Thank you.”
I accepted the jangdori, which can be said to be Yeongsik’s exclusive weapon.
I left the machete in room 701. I still have the pistol I took from killing the gangster earlier, but if I shoot here, all the zombies in the apartment complex will flock to this house.
Still, I’ll have to hold on to it for now. If those crazy awakened people come rushing in, you will have to shoot them at all costs.
“Open the door.. Cover his mouth so he can’t scream..”
“Yes, brother.”
After leaving Yeongsik in charge of making sure the captive didn’t do anything foolish, I put on the double locking chain and carefully opened the door.
-Tiririk.
The door lock opened and I gently pushed the door with my foot. The woman then pulled the handle of her door, thinking it was open. But when she didn’t open it, she looked at me standing behind the door with a puzzled face.
Our eyes met. I immediately activated the ability insight.
[Expansion of view (B)]
[Effect: When the ability is activated, your eyesight increases greatly and you can observe things very far away.]
[Handicap: You cannot blink while using the ability, and your eyes easily become tired and dry.]
[Penalty: Vision deteriorates significantly while the ability is not used.]
This is the woman that the captive bastard said had clairvoyance. A person with the ability to see distant objects. It’s a simple ability, but the handicap and penalties are quite harsh.
First of all, I didn’t feel any signs of popularity from anyone else than this woman. I’m alone. It looks like he followed us here alone. Is it possible to do that alone at this time?
Even the penalty for expanding the field of view is reduced vision… No matter how many glasses you wear, you made it through the zombies and came this far with reduced vision?
It’s honestly a good thing he didn’t get caught by zombies and die. He is holding a bent baseball bat that he picked up somewhere. He may have been using it to beat up zombies. Surely it wasn’t a bite?
“Did you run away?”
“Oh, well, that is..”
“Are you alone?”
“Yes.. I’m alone.. Please help me.. My younger brother.. My younger brother is being held captive… “
He said his younger brother was captured. Those words seemed like the real truth. Since my younger brother is being held at Dongyeong High School… Are you following us? I don’t know if she was really trying to ask for help… Or if she was being blackmailed into tricking us by her brother.
I can’t make a clear decision. For now, we are still on guard. There was a need to talk more or think about it.
“Wait.”
I closed the door again and unfastened the double locking chain. Then he swung open the door. As expected, according to trace observation, this girl was the only one in the 7th floor hallway.
“Ah…”
She looked at the man tied up in the kitchen and took a slight step back. There was a glimpse of fear in their eyes.
Maybe he really came here purely to ask for help.
‘Yes, they must have come here to ask for our help. Because there are women too. However, when I arrived, I saw two men torturing a person…’
As a result, this woman may have thought that we were no different from those at Dongyeong High School. Or she throws it here that she’s trying to cannibalize.
Anyway, she tried to run away again. I think I came here to ask for help without thinking, thinking that it would be better than Dongyeong High School, but once you come, there is only one choice: either you will be transferred to our side, or you will die by my hands and hand over your skills.
“Kyaeup..! “Eup!!”
“Shh. Don’t yell. If you resist for no reason, I have no choice but to kill you.”
“Ugh..! Ugh!”
I held the mouth of the woman who was trying to run away from behind and dragged her into room 709.
“Huh.. Hmm..”
Realizing that she could never defeat me by force, she eventually cried and stopped resisting. Only then was I able to get her to sit in her chair.
“Don’t move. “We’re so suspicious of your sudden visit that we’re going crazy.”
“Well, that’s not it.. This isn’t it.. Ugh…”
A woman shedding tears. Is this really just to kill time? That may be so. Perhaps the plan is to send this woman up first and lure me down separately?
Or…
“Youngsik, I’m looking at you well. “I’ll check outside and come back.”
“Yes.”
I opened the front door again and came out. They might already be inside the apartment. They could let the women in first to catch us off guard, or they could do some trick and then take us by surprise.
Yes, if they attack us in the middle of the morning while we are asleep… We will be finished.
How do I know? Did that person with the expanded vision come to sacrifice himself for his younger brother? Or, he may have already conspired with the scoundrels and completely sided with the Dongyeong High School guys.
First of all, the simplest way is to check whether there is a man in this apartment or not. And that can be confirmed through Ayun’s sense of reason.
I went back into room 701.
“Oh, brother!”
“Inho.. I’m here.”
Hehe..”
Three women welcome me. It looks like we’re in the middle of a conversation…
“Ayun. “I’m sorry, I’m taking a break. Would you like to use your abilities?”
“Huh? What abilities? Do you have hypoalgesia? “Is the captive cub dead?”
“No, that’s what I mean..”
I quickly explained the current situation. While interrogating a bully from Dongyeong High School, a woman came and explained that this woman was a woman with long-distance vision and that the Dongyeong High School guys might have followed her into the apartment.
“Crazy.. If I escaped alone, that would be awesome..”
“So.. Inho, where is that kid now? Are you and Yeongsik in room 709?”
“Yes. Yeongsik is currently holding it in room 709.”
“Ah.. Let’s go and see.. If we’re with women, they might open their mouths again..”
Upon hearing the news that Yeojae came with blood on her face, Saeyeon and Hyeonah quickly got ready and tried to go outside.
“Wait.. Let’s check first.”
I caught two people. Right now, we need to use Ayun’s sense of reason to find out if there’s another guy out there. You should not move hastily. I need confidence.
“Kollock. Cough..!! There is no one.. The only men I can feel around here are my brother, my uncle, Yeongsikkun, and Poro.”
“Okay? But Yeongsikkun?”
“Huh. Just because I’m easy. Anyway, there are no other men in the apartment.”
“Aha.. I see.. I’m glad. For now, I’ll go down and check once more, and my sister and Hyuna are taking care of him.”
“Yeah.. Be careful?”
“Yes..”
“Wait a minute, let’s go together.”
“Okay? Is it okay if I move?”
“I’m fine. Are you okay. Even though we are losing… “
I quickly walked down the stairs with Ayun to check if anyone else was in there. The only traces we left on the stairs were the traces of the girl who had just come up.
Could it be that he is hiding in another building and watching this place? Then, I had to search the entire apartment to see if the Dongyeong High School guys were hiding there.
“Oppa, this isn’t right.. At that point, it’s OCD..”
“Uh? Yes… That’s right… I guess that kid killed the guard alone and ran away.”
“Huh. Now let’s go up..”
I held Ayun’s hand tightly and went up again.
It really looks like she’s losing her hair from stress. I became too sensitive. Dongyeong High School guys are driving me crazy.
We must all catch and kill them by today. If I go through tonight, I’m sure my hair will fall out due to stress-related hair loss.
Annoying. I want to get rid of them before they start messing around.
First, I went up again.
-Kkiik..
When she returned to room 709, there was a girl sitting at her table with a blanket wrapped around her, wiping the blood off her face. Also, her older sister and Hyuna were comforting her.
“Are you here?”
“Yes..”
But where did Yeongsik and the captive cub go? I can’t see any traces of him leaving… Looking at the marks on the floor, it looks like he was dragged into the main room.
“What about Yeongsik?”
“Oh, Yeongsik is in the master bedroom with that boy right now.”
“Aha.”
It seems that the women came and dragged the captive being interrogated into the main room.
At that time, Hyuna slightly pulled me back and told me the information she had found out.
“First of all, that girl’s name is Heejeong Lee. She is 19 years old this year and is the same age as Seunghee. She was held in Dongyeong High School since the second day of the disaster and escaped.”
“What about the blood on your face?”
“That’s the blood from killing the boy who was watching him… He cried when I asked him about it… It seemed like he was a bit shocked.”
First murders are inherently shocking. Everyone in our group was in shock the first time we killed someone. Yeongsik is acting strong right now, but his hands were shaking from earlier ..
“For now, this is all I’ve found out.”
“Okay, good job. Now I will ask a question.”
“Yes..”
She sat on the chair opposite the girl who was being cared for by her older sister. Ah Yunyi was standing in front of her master bedroom door, fiddling with her machete.
Now I have to have a conversation with this girl.
“Ha.. So, your name is Heejeong?”
“Yes… Hee-jeong… Lee Hee-jeong…”
“Yes, Heejeong. You didn’t get bitten or anything, right?”
“Ah, Inho. “I just checked everything.”
“Aha. Well done, sister.”
I already took it all off and checked it. As expected, my women are thorough.
“Then… How did you get here? Is it really true that you came according to your will? Didn’t someone order it?”
I asked, glaring slightly at her. Her older sister and Hyuna, who had been comforting her, took a slight step back when my gaze changed. It probably means that they won’t interfere with the interrogation.
“Yes.. I came of my own volition.. I thought it would be better here..”
“It’s better here. What do you mean?”
“Well… That’s because there are only crazy people there… Well, actually, I have a confession to make… When I found my sisters and my companions earlier, I notified them… If I can’t find the skill holder by today. “I’m sorry for saying you were going to cut off my younger brother’s finger..”
Lee Hee-jung apologizes with tears streaming down her face.
If I hadn’t cut down and killed nearly 40 people from Dongyeong High School, I wouldn’t have even dared to run away. She chose us for a better survival. It also seemed like she wanted to save her younger brother with our help.
“I already knew you gave them our location. So don’t cry for no reason. Cry later. “I don’t have time to cry.”
“Huh.. Yes..”
“Whew.. Anyway, if I listen to what you say, you were just looking for an opportunity to get out of Dongyeong High School, and then you killed the guard and ran away here because you thought you could get out?”
“That’s right.. I saw him killing them all.. And he seems to treat women well too.. So I escaped.. It’s so cruel there.. Please.. Please save my sister… ”
Lee Hee-jung cries and asks for help to save her younger brother.
I nodded. If I can save it, I should save it. I can’t help it if it seems difficult. Of course, all of this could be a trap, but…
Anyway, I think tonight will be a lot longer.
There are about 70 people who need to be killed.
