Chapter 205 – Cockroaches

“No… Brother… Brother… “

Lia is looking for Hajin while rummaging through the rubble of a collapsed building until her little hands bleed.

Sussuk-

Raising her head in amazement at the presence she felt around her at the moment, Leah carefully turned her head left and right and looked around her.
However, she did not see any life forms around her, which only gave off a dreary atmosphere, and Lia, who held back her dry saliva as if nervous, began to dig up the rubble of the collapsed building with her hands again.
But at that moment.

Sussuk-

“What, what…? Who, who are you..? Are you my brother..? It’s scary, so don’t play around and come out!!”

A space that was just desolate.
Clearly, there was no response, and Leah, feeling a moment of fear, slowly raised her body and began to walk backwards in the direction of her shelter.

Jerk- jerk-

Slowly, one step, one step…
Then Leah turned around and started running towards her shelter with all her might, and at the same time, more people began to feel around her.

Sussuk-
Sussuk-
Sussuk-
Sussuk-

‘What, what…! What the hell!!’

Clearly there is something.
But she doesn’t show up and she can’t even be seen with the naked eye.
A being or beings watching oneself from a place not so far away that one could feel the presence.
Leah’s sense of fear reached the limit due to the unknown beings who did not know who or what they were, and the moment that fear gripped Leah’s whole body as if stabbed with a knife.

That’s right!!

“Kyaa… “

Snap!!

A black shadow protruding from somewhere in her closed Lia’s mouth and disappeared as it was.
And the creatures that appeared in the space where even her Leah disappeared.

Susssss

A hard, dark brown shell, six feet, two antennae, and wide, quivering wings.
Yes.
The identities of the creatures that appeared were cockroaches.
Of course, it is a cockroach of an overwhelming size beyond human common sense.

(Ooh.. Ooh!!)
(Shh! Be quiet!)

When Lia, who got goosebumps all over her body at the appearance of a cockroach with a body height that reached the waist of a normal adult man and a size suitable for it, trembled and tried to scream, a man covering Leah’s mouth with his hand in a dark space He closed his mouth even harder and warned him in a small and urgent manner.

(Oops…)
(Don’t make any noise, okay?)

Nod-nod-

Lia’s head nodded, and the man who removed his hand covering her mouth was Lee Moon-seong, who claimed to have witnessed a sinkhole like this in Ulsan.
Yes everyone… In this place where even Hajin has disappeared, Lee Moon-seong has succeeded in hiding himself based on his past experiences.
For such a long time, the cockroaches that had been wandering around in the space where Lia had last disappeared scattered and disappeared, just like when they appeared, and Lee Moon-seong, who let out a sigh of relief inside the stinking trash can, sat down and muttered,

(I’ve been chasing you all this way… So far…)
(Hey, chasing you all this way..? What is that…)
(…)

I can’t see anything because it’s inside the trash can where not a handful of light comes in, but Lee Mun-seong, who made a face full of despair without replying to Lia’s question, let out a long sigh.

(Whoa…)
(What the hell happened..? Ha, Ha-jin oppa..?)
(It’s over… I won’t be able to come back… Neither he… Nor Jisung… Nor the others…)
(What the hell is that…)
– Lia! I can hear?! Where are you now?!
(…)
(…)

Minseo’s voice came from the walkie-talkie Lia brought.
Lia and Lee Moon-seong, who somehow met each other’s eyes with wide-eyed eyes in the darkness, hurriedly reached out their hands toward the radio that kept sounding.

Took! Tutuk! Tuk-tuk! Took!!

A situation where you can calmly grab the radio from one of the two and turn it off.
However, Lia and Lee Moon-seong, embarrassed, tried to take the radio to turn off the radio first, so they lifted the radio in each other’s hands, and reached out to catch the lifted radio, and lifted it up, as if juggling. Lifted up
Thanks to this, the bodies of the two people who had been squatting stood up suddenly, and naturally, more than half of their bodies were exposed outside the trash can.

“… “
“… “

Susssss

In an instant, giant cockroaches blocking an alley with only two sides.
And Lia and Lee Moon-seong’s neck, who were naturally stunned at the sight.

Gulp-
Gulp-

A handful of spittle went down his throat along with his wide, unblinking eyes.
The walkie-talkie continues to ring loudly.

– Lia! Lia!!!

And the cry of heterogeneousness bursting out as if it were a signal.

“Bounce!!!!!”
“Kyaaak!!!!!”

Moon-seong Lee quickly stepped on the corner of the trash can and jumped up, breaking a small window on the outer wall of the opposite building and succeeding in escaping the alley.

Udang-tang-tang!!!

“Wow!!!”

Just like that, the trash can fell forward and Lia also fell to the floor of the alleyway.
In Lee Moon-seong’s case, Lia held the center of gravity inside the trash can so that he could run without problems, but in Lia’s case, it was not.

“Oh, no!! THIS FUCK!!!!”

Lee Moon-seong, who stuck her head out of the broken window and confirmed Lia’s face on the floor, instructed her to turn around and run away, but her body ignored the instruction and jumped out the window, swearing and screaming. They were wielding swords together.

“Do not come!! Do not come!!!!”
“Kyaaak!!!!”

The alley where Lee Moon-seong’s cries and Lia’s screams resonate.
Fortunately, the cockroaches did not show any intention to attack due to the knife Lee Mun-seong swung from side to side, but according to an American research institute, cockroaches are highly intelligent insects, with an experiment showing that the IQ of cockroaches in a crisis situation goes up to 340. .
Of course, there are many opinions that the results of the experiment are unscientific, but cockroaches are life forms that have survived on Earth for 340 million years.
Regardless of whether their intelligence is high or not, cockroaches are overwhelmingly superior to humans in just this one ability.
The ability to sense danger right away.

“Tsu-tsu-tsu-“
“Chi-Chi-Chi-“
“Cheuuuuu-“
“Oh come!! You too, get up and do something!!!”

Lee Mun-seong, who was wielding a knife for threat, decided that it was not dangerous, and the cockroaches gradually closed the distance, and some of them flapped their wings to prepare for a dogfight. He clenched his fist tightly.
I didn’t feel very intimidated, though.

“Ha, they will attack us at once! They’re smart, they don’t attack one by one!”
“… Yes.”

Her answer came a bit late, but Lee Moon-seong, who was very nervous, was rather taken aback by Lia’s answer and appearance, which seemed more calm than she thought.
She must have been together for the past few days, and Lia, whom she occasionally ran into on the hunting ground, was just a woman who hunted with the help of Minseo, Juha, or Hajin, whom she always went with, because she was not strong enough to remain calm in this situation. .

‘Is there something I don’t know..? If so, can you survive… ‘

Back-

She thought that Lia might have a trump card hidden in her, and she put on a puzzled expression as she looked at the hem of her dress being pulled back with hope.
It was because her Lia, standing side by side with the alien character as she took a step back, was pulling the hem of her alien castle to cover herself.

“What are you doing?”
“I’m scared… Sorry…”
“Whoa… “

The moment Moon-Sung Lee shook her head, regretting her own stupid misunderstanding and stupid choice, the cockroaches that had kept closing the distance sprang out like bullets and rushed at the two.

“Kyaaak!!!”

Awesome!!!

Unlike Lia, who screams, Lee Mun-seong cuts down the cockroach from the front by drawing her knife from the bottom up.
But that was the last resistance he could do.
It was beyond Lee Moon-seong’s ability to deal with the cockroaches climbing the walls on either side, the cockroaches rapidly flapping their wings and falling out of the air, and the cockroaches attacking Lia from behind and soon attacking him as well.
A cry that sounded like a sharp scream coming from behind.

“I will die here too… Eh?”

Lee Moon-seong, who had muttered inadvertently, tilted his head for a moment.
Because the screams I hear are a little peculiar.
The screams that had to be cut off as they were torn apart and attacked by cockroaches continued to resonate without interruption, and the screams themselves were also unique.

“Kyaaak!!! Gross!! Disgusting!!! Wow!! Die! Die!!!”

Chew!! Chew!! Fluffy!!

Min-seo is happily cutting and stabbing cockroaches to death while screaming that they are disgusting.

“Sister!!!”

The moment Lia, who saved her life with her death, shouted as she saw Minseo’s back standing in front of her from the swarming cockroaches.

Wow Changchang!!

“Fantastic.”

Fufufufufufufu!!!

With a small voice coming out of Juha’s mouth, Juha’s spear poured down like rain and pierced holes in the bodies of the cockroaches.
On the other hand, I’m right next to Lia, but from Lee Moon-seong’s side looking at the other side…

“Aaaaa!!!!”

Cooooo!!!!!

Kwon Joo-hyuk, who fell from the roof of a 4-story building with a scream, hit the three cockroaches that were trying to attack Lee Moon-seong with his wings flapping and collided with the ground. They cut them down in an instant.

Seokkuk-Seoguk-Seoguk-Chack!!!!

“Whew… It was close. Are you okay?”
“Ah yes… Thanks… Ugh!!!”

Lee Moon-seong screamed while saying thank you.
The reason he screamed was because a large shield swung as if it was about to hit him in the face.
Of course, it was a cockroach that Kim Ji-hoon missed that hit the shield.

Remembrance!!!!
Dudududuk-

The cockroaches attached to the wall completely blew themselves away as if hitting them with a shoe. When the shield fell, fragments fell from the outer wall of the broken building. .

“I kept telling you not to step on me and jump!!”
“Brother, speak straight. I stepped on it after jumping off.”
“That or that!! These are very close to me… “
“Careful.”
“We are talking!!!”

Poop!!!!

Kwon Joo-hyeok, who twisted his body at Kim Ji-hoon’s warning and swung his shield, struck the cockroach and pinned it to the wall.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
Fluffy fluffy!!!

Rotating horizontally and quickly, the cockroaches are pierced, cut, and cut off by flying shields.
And Kim Ji-hoon, who was staring at it, muttered as if it were absurd.

“What kind of Captain America are you?”
“It’s Captain Korea! Give me my shield! You bastards!!”

Kwon Joo-hyeok runs towards the cockroaches with Battle X to retrieve the shield.
And the reason Kwon Joo-hyeok can run so confidently is because his reliable ally caught the cockroaches.

Kwak!!!
Coo!!!
Awesome!!!!

The ground began to crack as the cracks spread around, with fragments of cockroaches flying in all directions as the clenched fists slammed into pieces.
And at Jackson’s blow, the cockroaches, as if they had promised, ran away by climbing the wall or fluttering their wings vigorously without being able to fly very high.
Minseo and Juha, Kwon Joo-hyuk and Kim Ji-hoon, and Jackson were added to it, and it was judged that there was no chance of winning.
However, even cockroaches, who are masters of escape, could not escape smoothly.

“We move in a group of three. Kill them all.”
“Yes!!”
“Let’s go!!”
“Let’s go!!”
“What movie are you shooting? Just run fast!”

The guards remaining at the shelter all moved to Some Sebit after receiving a call from Kim Hyeon-jun, but the guards who had just arrived at the order of Ahn Tae-jin, who was scouting the northern area with Jackson and others, accompanied by a larger number of guards. They started attacking the escaping cockroaches.
The cockroaches that suddenly appeared were quickly sorted out, and the whereabouts of those who had disappeared, including Ha-jin and Kim Hyun-jun, were revealed to some extent due to those with tracking characteristics among the guards.

“The traces are all heading to that hole. But the problem is… “
“Don’t hesitate and tell me.”
“All right. Trouble is, there are signs of battle.”
“I know that when I see it. It looks like Ha-jin and Captain have been fighting.”

The traces of the battle were clear enough for Ahn Tae-jin and everyone to know even without tracking or detection characteristics.
But the problem is…

“Vice-captain… The leader, Kang Ha-jin and others seem to have been taken away just like Lee Moon-seong said.”
“… Did you look properly?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure?”
“I am sure.”

Ahn Tae-jin asked the security guard who received the report over and over again.
Ha-jin, Kim Hyeon-joon, and Yeon Ji-seong were taken away by monsters?
No matter how much I heard it, I couldn’t believe it, and even if I had seen it with my own eyes, it was so hard to believe that I thought there must be a reason.

“No, why don’t you believe me?! How many times have I told you that I was dragged away!!”

Lee Mun-seong, who had repeatedly shouted that everyone including Ha-jin, Kim Hyun-joon and Yeon Ji-seong were taken by the monster, pounded his stuffy chest and shouted again.

“If you want to live, you have to run away!!!! They must all be dead already!!!!”

Lee Mun-seong shouts that everyone is dead.
Meanwhile, Ha-jin, who had disappeared, recalled her closed eyes while being trapped in deep, deep darkness.
Like Jesus hanging on the cross, her limbs are bound.
And at the feet of Ha-jin, who was hanging in the air, the blood that flowed from Ha-jin’s body formed a puddle.

Took-
Again-

“Fuck..!”
