Chapter 133 – Homophobia (1)

Homophobia (1)

One day.

In just one day, the scenery that is quite different from yesterday welcomes me.

The survivors of Seodaemun-gu were clinging to each other near the windows where the sunlight came in.

The example I pointed to first among them had disappeared.

Not to mention the example whose face was bloody swollen, as well as the entire group of examples.

The 1 trillion won search crew who strictly managed the camp members instead of me, and Linnea, who descended like a guardian spirit and stood tall in front of the female camp members.

The middle-aged and elderly survivors who were silently putting their buttocks on the floor and holding their breath, and even Ko Ji-hoon, who was always next to me like a shadow.

All of them left Hyundai Department Store and headed to Banseok for supplies.

There are only 11 of them left here.

9 female camp members of my college age age.

And-

“… Hick-!”

Until Lee Hye-ji.

A shrill breath follows as she gently strokes the shoulder of Lee Hye-ji, who is sitting right next to her.

Lee Hye-ji let out the same vibration as before and bowed her head.

With a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen I instructed him to hold in his arms.

In front of us, 9 female campers were sitting in the same appearance as yesterday.

But maybe it was because Linnea, who had been protecting them like a guardian spirit, was gone, she was avoiding my gaze with a more tearful expression than yesterday.

There were only two female camp members who were the only ones facing the front.

And I know their names

When pressuring Lee Hye-ji, what she liked to use was the names of those two people.

Jeong Da-jung and Park Seul-ah.

Lee Hye-ji’s friends who farmed with Lee Hye-ji at Yonsei University Oesol Hall.

Only the girls with the same mid-length hair style as Decalcomani were covering their mouths with both hands and staring at Lee Hye-ji.

Others sat their heads on the floor and only occasionally raised their heads and glanced behind me.

Perhaps they are anxiously glancing up the escalator, waiting for their own guardian spirit.

It was bleak and dissimilar, like puppies waiting for her mother to go shopping.

Even if their guardian deity can’t protect them, they can’t protect them for more than 2-3 days.

No matter how quickly Linnea tries to finish supplies and return, Goh Goh-Hun, who received my order, will procrastinate as much time as possible.

Even at the shortest, for at least two or three days, it’s just me and them in this Hyundai Department Store.

Without the Search Team, who forcibly harassed and played with them under my connivance, and without Linnea, who protected them as much as possible from such Search Team.

Only me and them remained at the forward base of Seodaemun-gu.

There are a total of two reasons why I led this situation under the pretext of supply.

The one is-

“… Hee-!”

It was to continue the training for ‘Tyrant on a White Horse’ that started through Lee Hye-ji.

The other is to get Linnea completely.

To be more precise, it is because of prior preparation to obtain Linnea completely.

Top-class female idol group ‘High Queens’.

4 idols who were more worthy of being praised as ‘idols’ than anyone else.

As I already had two of them, of course Linnea was also a precious jewel that I had to acquire.

Even before the world was destroyed by zombies, they were shining brighter than anyone else.

Shattering them because of my impatient greed?

Where and how are you going to find the gems that were superior even when the earth was teeming with humans like half water and half fish?

In a rotten sea full of zombie fish, let alone fish anymore.

It is absolutely impossible.

So I had to be very careful with these jewels that came into my hands.

I had to put my heart and soul into it, and I had to craft it the way I wanted.

If Cha Seol-hee and Cha Ha-yan sisters used their special family environment to exploit the lack of affection that was hidden very deep inside—

Linnea now had to take advantage of her loneliness, which she would never be able to overcome on her own.

In order to achieve my dream, I set foot on Korean soil with great hopes, but—

In the end, she had to take advantage of her underlying psychology of being a stranger.

No language, no hair color, no skin color.

Even the color of her eyes had to touch on her underlying loneliness in having to be their stranger, alone among other strangers.

In that sense, the stage called Hyundai Department Store was very important.

Because this was another remote area, not the rock that Linnea had barely gotten used to.

All of the dorm students who should have built strong bonds overcoming the disaster disappeared—

Because it was a new hell where everything had to be built from zero.

Here, at least, she gets along with the search crew who were friendly with her face open.

Even after confirming that fellow members Cha Seol-hee and Cha Ha-han are in the central library, she refuses to allow her In-seong to be friendly with them as she hesitated to betray the College of Agriculture.

Despite her desperate attempts to dissuade them, the search crew harassed the new female camp members as if it were their own world.

And the only one who can control the situation.

Seol-hee, the white sister’s new family, and her new superior, also go wrong with me.

Despite her earnest request, he proudly ignored her opinion and ignored it.

She has no choice but to feel more and more deeply and surely alienated.

There are only 9 people who are the last ones left by her side in Seodaemun-gu, a hellish remote area.

“…”

Only 9 people.

She was the only female camp member who believed in and relied on her as her guardian spirit.

I intend to bring Rinnea down to the bottom of the abyss.

Her stranger’s intention is to amplify her loneliness, shake her up to the point where she can’t think of her proper handling or her defense, and drive her into her corner.

In order to do that, we need a deeper and darker loneliness than now.

Chamberlain-

The few who remained by her side suddenly left her…

No longer relying on her and finding someone to trust and rely on as her new.

“Ooh, look at the atmosphere.”

So treat her as invisible at the behest of her new trustee.

“If anyone sees them, they’ll think they’re puppies abandoned on the ground.”

At my cold sarcasm, the shoulders of the nine people flinched.

If you add Lee Hye-ji, who is always vibrating, the shoulders of a total of 10 people were shaking.

“How am I supposed to understand this situation now?”
“…”
“If you think about it, how should I understand you, you bitches, who have received all consideration and are in the mood of a house of mourning?”
“…”

There was no answer that came out of the low-level question, even the emotional curse.

Only silence wrapped around this space as if it were the only answer.

As if he would die any minute if he answered my words, he desperately shut his mouth and remained silent.

“… Under-!”

A cold laugh escapes his mouth at that sight.

From the College of Humanities to Hyundai Department Store in Sinchon.

As the number of survivors under my command increases, there is something that I definitely realize.

Gu Ye-ri, who very shamelessly pushed me into the underground cafeteria in the library.

Yes, if she is Ku Ye-ri, she is one of the few surviving women of this era who is active and bold.

Cha Seol-hee, who went one step further and offered me a deal, was an irregular.

The reality of the concept of death, which has been vague.

Those who saw the reality through zombies had no choice but to shrink and become passive.

Almost everyone was like that, but if I had to compare men and women, the tendency was a little stronger for women.

Because you are already pouring all your courage into surviving, you don’t have the extra courage to overcome your new fear.

So, it was one thing to do to those who are having a hard time enduring this situation.

“Thanks to the protection of the four years who spent all day without doing anything, the supplies I brought started to run out. So, of course, you will need to resupply.”

“So, all the men who seemed like they were going to have to work hard were scraped off and sent to Eunpyeong-gu. Not only the men, but all camp members except you left for the rock to contribute to the camp. To be willing to do my part as a camp member when I don’t even know what dangers are out there.”

To continue to instill fear into those who no longer have the courage to spare.

“I don’t know what dangers the campers were in when they were returning to the Rock. To be precise, no matter what danger you run into, there is little surprise.”

While the four years are sitting comfortably like this now.

“Perhaps you will meet tramps who have set traps in the roads and want cars to pass through them. To be precise, not the vehicle, but the survivors inside it, especially the tramps who are desperately looking for a toilet to quench their lust.”

Also maybe-

“In a different sense, you must have encountered an entity that only wants your bodies. Zombie bastards bizarrely looking for a chance to chew on your flesh, let alone sex. I’ll probably have to meet and fight them several times while going back to the rock. Now Seoul will be a zombie field wherever you go.”
“…”

They were still silent without answering.

However, this time too, that silence was the most appropriate answer I had hoped for.

Even if you don’t have to say…

Their unfocused, trembling eyes, their dazed expressions, told me everything.

More than anything else, it showed the fear welling up on their faces.

“If you’ve talked this far, unless you’re an idiot, you should understand. You guys have been treated very undeservedly, and you have been rewarded beyond measure.”

… However.

After saying this, I paused for a moment.

Then, he quietly swung around the female camp members and made eye contact with each one of them.

“Looking at you guys now, I guess there are bitches who think this is a punishment, not a reward.”

The destination of the eyes that keep an eye on the female camp members.

One of two women whose hair, which must have been short, grew to medium length due to lack of management.

“Jeong Da-jeong.”
“…”

Jeong Da-jung’s body shakes greatly at my name being called.

“Looking at your expression, do you think you’re a punishment too?”
“… No.”

She shook her head hurriedly—swish—so long as her answer was delayed.

“Oh no, sir.”

Then, as if showing off, she drew an arc line around her mouth.

It was an awkward, bizarre smile that continued to quiver at the corners of his mouth.

I nodded her head lightly at that smile and continued.

“Okay. There is no one here who thinks without conscience like that.”

The lips of all nine people who were sitting at my low whispers moved.

Everyone put a smile on their lips resembling Jeong Da-jung’s Nae Eun Ho-seon.

“So, we who know our gratitude and conscience should save the remaining supplies from now on, right?”
“…”
“Because it shouldn’t be used up again with the supplies the campers took the risk of. Then the camp members have to risk their lives again to go to Eunpyeong-gu.”
“…”

So-

“From now on, I will readjust the supplies that were distributed to you.”

Who did?

They say that faith and obedience begin with misfortune.

“And-“

I showed a person to the girls who couldn’t hide their confusion at the declaration like a thunderbolt from the sky.

He pulled her shoulders harder and showed her face to everyone.

“I will introduce the camp member who will be in charge of all the investigations from start to finish.”

It’s probably someone you never thought you’d see again.

A long-forgotten person from the past reappeared before their eyes.

“You guys will see each other after a long time.”

Holding paper and pen, and being a completely different person.

“Lee Hye-ji.”
