Chapter 113 – International Vaccine Institute (1)

Doo doo doo doo!!!

The sound of propellers turning vigorously.
It was a bit of a hassle to say that it had been fixed, but the helicopter, which had completed a test flight as far as the eye could see to make sure it was fixed, was slowly descending.
Thanks to this, a lot of people rushed out to clean up the zombies and monsters that flocked to the shelter following the sound of the helicopter.
Basically, everyone in the shelter has more than enough zombies to deal with.
And since Jackson and Ahn Tae-jin followed the people to prevent any accident, there would be no danger.
Rather than that, they are the problem.

“No, Hyeonjun oppa! Why are you raising things again?!”
“I’m not trying to make things bigger, I’m trying to solve things!”
“I don’t think it’s a very good way…”
“What?!”
“That doesn’t sound like a good idea!!”

Min-seo and Kim Hyun-joon have a conversation while raising their voices due to the sound of the helicopter getting closer and closer to the ground.
And Joo-ha is holding my waist tight and not letting go.
Fortunately, Camilla and Deanna, who had been yelling at me for calling pervert dirty, lost one-sidedly to elementary school special forces, so it was fortunate that they went out to catch zombies with other people.
But Iria can’t even see the nose.

“Brother! Are you going again?!”
“I don’t want to go either! But you ask for help!”
“You can’t go if you don’t like it! Since when did you say you listened to others so well?!”
“… “

Yes, as Juha said, if you don’t like it, don’t go.
Kim Hyun-joon also asked me to help him, he didn’t force me to do it.
However, just as I forgot about Iria for a while when I said I was going to the International Vaccine Institute to rescue the doctors, if I went there for a while, Minseo and Juha’s anger would be alleviated, so it was a rescue operation with the concept of avoiding the body for a while.

“No. 1 sortie complete!”
“No. 2 is also complete!”
“No. 3 too! My first time riding a helicopter!”
“No. 4 is okay too! I want to parachute too!”
“No. 5 is also complete. But I’m afraid of heights…”

Excluding girl No. 5, the elementary school commandos are excited about riding a helicopter as if they were going on a picnic.
But you can’t take them all in that little chopper.
You need to secure as much space as possible so that many people can come in at once.
And helicopters that use aviation fuel, not general oil, should be operated as little as possible because they eat up a lot of coins every time they move.
So, without first going to check if the International Vaccine Institute is still intact, we set off right away like this, and it is probably only me and Kim Hyun-jun who are heading to the International Vaccine Institute in that helicopter.
To add to that, it would be Kim Ji-hoon.

“Captain! The test flight is over! Let’s get on!”
“Let’s go, Kang Ha-jin.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s go, boss!”
“Hey, you guys stay here.”
“Yes?! Why?!!”
“Why? Are you rebelling?”
“Not that… “
“Just stay. No space.”
“Ah… “
“I wanted to ride a helicopter… “
“A parachute… “
“Despicably..!”
“Ha… Thank god…”

From No. 1 to No. 4, he stared at me with a face full of regret, but I resolutely ignored his gaze and boarded the helicopter.
But why are they riding?

“Hey, Jihoon Kim. Why are you burning them?”
“The noonas are going instead of me~”
“What?! Why!!”
“Why?! Without us, you’re going to sleep with a female doctor this time?!”
“I will never tolerate it! So I will go with you!”
“Hey, Kim Hyun-joon!”
“You brought it upon yourself. And they don’t listen to me.”
“… “

Seeing Minseo and Juha wearing seatbelts with the help of Kim Jihoon, I suddenly want to leave this rescue operation to Kim Hyeonjun and stay at the shelter, but if that happens, they will also follow me to the shelter, so I just put on my seatbelt.
I’m going to rescue the doctors, so I won’t listen to nagging.

“Then go~ I’ll be sure to protect the shelter!”
“I will keep it well. I’m glad it didn’t happen like that last time.”
“I’ll protect you this time…”
“Then let’s take off!”

Drreuk- thump!!

At the pilot’s cry, Kim Ji-hoon closed the open helicopter door, and Kim Hyun-jun raised his thumb like a soldier in a movie.
The helicopter, which took off again raising dust again, began flying toward the International Vaccine Institute, which is about 7.5 km away from the shelter.

“Huh… “
“Why is that, sister?”
“It’s just that it’s a bit strange that Seoul has become like this… I didn’t know when I came to the shelter last time, but now that I see it, it’s really… It’s like a ruined city in some kind of war movie…”
“I see…”

To be honest, from this height, it is not a city in ruins, but rather a city center bustling with people living their daily lives.
The trap is that the people moving around like that are zombies, not people.
And although most of the buildings had all the windows smashed, there were not that many broken or burnt buildings worthy of ruins.
Until we arrived at Nakseongdae where the International Vaccine Institute is located.

“Um, isn’t that Seoul National University?”
“Why is that… “

The appearance of Seoul National University, which is in ruins to the point where Minseo and Juha are at a loss for words.
Burnt buildings are innumerable, and buildings that have collapsed or collapsed are not uncommon.
Buildings that are quite large to be said to have been done by Biter or Eater.
However, common sense makes no sense to say that the guy who drove zombies and monsters after Kim Hyeon-jun, who called him a mutant or a zombie general, did it.
No matter how they are, it’s difficult to destroy a building of that scale, especially since they aren’t so low-intelligence as to destroy a building.

“One minute before arrival at destination!”
“Hey, Kim Hyun-joon.”
“Yes, it seems that there are no survivors.”

You don’t even have to go down and check it out.
Should the place where the International Vaccine Institute is located and the Seoul National University side, which is really in ruins, be called a small mountain?
Anyway, they are divided into one small mountain, but the Vaccine Research Center is not as good as Seoul National University, though.

“Then let’s go back to the shelter!”
“Ah, I only blew a coin.”
“I guess it’s a bit late. If only we had moved a little faster… “
“Now, wait a minute!”
“Look over there! What is written on the roof!”

The helicopter, which had not yet arrived at the International Vaccine Research Center, was about to turn and flew over the roof of the Vaccine Research Center, where text was written with something like paint at the cry of Min-seo and Ju-ha, who had found something.
SOS.
It’s just a list of three very simple alphabets, but they are all known distress signals.
Now we have two choices.
Do you just go back like this, or do you take the risk to get down and check it out?

“Let’s just go. Can’t you see it over there? If we do something wrong, we could end up poisoning ourselves.”
“But there is someone who wants to save me…!”
“Brother…”
“It is more likely that he is already dead. All the glass in the building is broken, and the corner over there is even broken. It means that a monster that can destroy a building like that swept through this place once.”
“I can’t… Hyeonjun oppa!”
“Brother, let us get off too!”

When it was not easy to persuade me, my eyebrows naturally frowned at the appearance of Minseo and Juha, who changed their targets to Kim Hyun-jun, but surprisingly, the same opinion as mine came out of Kim Hyun-jun’s mouth.

“The risk is too great and the odds of survivors are slim. Let’s go back to the shelter like this.”
“Brother!!”
“It’s too much!!”
“By the way, Captain… You can barely see the zombies…”

Hearing the voices coming from the cockpit, Kim Hyun-joon, Min-seo, and Ju-ha pressed their faces to the windows and checked below.
Of course, I also confirmed that I could barely see the zombies roaming through the window next to me, but…

Click-
Swoop-

Seatbelt unfastened at the push of a button, and me walking toward the cockpit and putting my arm around the flinching pilot’s shoulder.

“Hey, uncle. Why are you talking nonsense?”
“That, just the facts… “
“Told you the truth? If I get off here, I will take you with me unconditionally. Don’t expect to be safe here. Okay?”
“I-I…!”
“No, why are you threatening an innocent pilot?!”
“Brother, come here!!”
“I will definitely take you down! Okay?! Do you understand!!”
“Eh… That truth…”

Min-seo and Ju-ha’s hands dragged me behind me while screaming and Kim Hyun-joon shaking his head at me.
And after a while

Doo doo doo doo-

I landed on the roof of the International Vaccine Lab with the propellers gradually losing power.

“Fuck, that human is just..!”
“I’m sorry!”
“Stop it!”
“That person did nothing wrong!”
“Stop it, stop what?! And why is there no fault! I got off like this because I was talking nonsense! You come here You should come too!!”
“Stay in the helicopter. And in an emergency, you can take off after notifying by radio.”
“Go, thank you!”

Min-seo and Ju-ha dropped me off the helicopter while hugging my waist, and the pilot jumped back into the cockpit at the words of Kim Hyeon-jun.

“Why are you leaving that bastard safe there?!”
“Cover your words and do it. He is eight years older than you.”
“What?! And you can talk too!”
“Kuhm..! I’m forced to speak rudely because of the chain of command, it’s not that I’m not polite. And I’m only 4 years older…”
“Fuck, what’s the difference in how old you are when you’re talking nonsense?! Talking is important!”

I don’t like the fact that only the pilot who brought me down here remains in a safe place, but I also know that without that man there is no way to get back to the shelter due to the broken bridge, so I had to suppress my anger and turn away.

“That bastard will have 10 couplets when he goes back!”
“I think oppa is too narrow-minded when I see him like this.”
“Even when it’s not like this, it’s narrow~ Juha, you’re misunderstanding.”
“Inside you are narrower! Who rushed to kill one more woman from the four!”
“… Is that the same as this?!”
“Chi..! I forgot…!!”

It was a moment when it seemed that he had brought anger upon himself with useless words, but with the help of Kim Hyun-jun, he managed to escape the crisis.
Well, I didn’t help because I wanted to help.

“Minseo and Juha will move according to my orders from now on. Never act alone.”
“Yes.”
“All right.”
“Then me?”
“You’re going to do whatever you want anyway, so take care of yourself. However, if there are survivors, don’t do pointless collisions. You also have thoughts, so you probably know that much, but I’m just saying it just in case.”
“Nungi~ Nungi~ I have thoughts, so I’ll take care of myself~”
“… After hanging out with elementary school students, I became an elementary school student.”

I turned my head away from Kim Hyun-joon, who was frowning at my sarcastic answer, and moved toward the rooftop entrance I had seen before.

“Let’s go together!”
“Don’t go alone, brother.”
“Away. You never know what might come out if you open that door.”
“Tsundere… “
“In the end, you’re going to do all the dangerous things alone, but you grumble…”

Yes, like Juha and Minseo said, I will do anything dangerous.
If there was an option to go back, I would choose it, but since I decided to explore here anyway, I would take care of the dangerous work.
Because I can’t let Minseo and Juha get hurt or die.

“Hey, Hyunjoon Kim. You said let’s get off, so keep an eye on them. If anything happens to them, you will die to me.”
“The ones who asked to get off first were Minseo and Juha.”
“You made the decision!”
“… Make sure to keep it.”

Even if I don’t say anything, I’ll take care of it, but I threw out a word out of nostalgia, and I carefully reached out and turned the round handle of the iron door that was closed.

Swoop-

The iron door opens smoothly without noise.
The lack of noise like this is proof that the zombies didn’t knock to open this door.
That is to say, someone who wrote a rescue signal saying SOS on the rooftop did not escape to the rooftop after being chased by zombies.
I wrote down the rescue signal and went inside the building again.
This means that there are no threatening monsters, including zombies, inside the building, and broken windows and broken corners are due to forces acting outside the building.
But you can’t be too sure about that.
It’s not a fact I’ve confirmed with my own eyes, it’s just my guess.

“But it seems safe for now. I can’t see any bloodstains inside. So, let’s go in… “

The moment I turned around to go inside together, I was speechless.
Because Minseo, Juha, and Kim Hyeonjun were seated next to the helicopter with the door open, not a few steps behind.

“What are you guys doing there?”
“My brother told me to leave.”
“That’s why we fell…”
“Did it fall?! You ran away! And why are you there!!”
“I’m afraid if something pops out, I’ll be surprised. I tend to have a weak heart.”
“You’re fucking, like that dog..!!”

I entered the International Vaccine Institute through the open door, leaving behind the three people who dared to come downstairs while talking nonsense.

“What is this… “
“Huh? What is all this?”
“What is it, really?”
“What the hell is this… “

The appearance of the International Vaccine Institute, which made not only me, but also Minseo, Juha, and Kim Hyun-jun, who came in after me, at a loss for words.
This is…

“It’s a biological laboratory?!”
