Chapter 368 – The Lost Ones

People gathered in one place, including Hajin and his party.
And to their left, Hajin and a man in his 50s were sitting on chairs facing each other.

“Then let’s open our eyes a little.”
“… “

A man reaches out her gloved hand toward Hajin’s nodding eyes.
And the moment the man’s hand touches it…

“Ah!! It hurts! You quack!!”
“Ahh!! Please save me!!”

Ha-jin, who pierced the head of a shell-covered hard monster that could only be penetrated by focusing on one spot, grabbed the collar, causing the man in his 50s to slip off a wheeled chair.

“Ha… I can’t help it.”
“Garya, Hyeonjun oppa. No, everyone, please help.”
“Let go!! Let go of this!! It hurts! It hurts!!”
“Khehehe~ It’s nice to see you in pain.”
“You don’t have to check your condition before you can treat it, you stupid bastard! Please stay still!”

Starting with Dae-ri and Kim Hyun-joon grabbing Ha-jin’s arms one by one, James restrained both legs with his whole body, and others also grabbed the rope that Min-seo and Ju-ha were wrapped around and pulled as if they were playing tug-of-war.
And the ophthalmologist, a man in his 50s who had confirmed it was safe several times, opened Ha-jin’s closed eyelids again with a cautiously outstretched hand, and her body froze as soon as she met her bloodshot eyes.
There was no special abnormality that could be confirmed with the naked eye other than severe bloodshot eyes and hot eyes, but Ha-jin, who also had a blocked mouth, said with both eyes that he would kill him if he didn’t take his hands off immediately.

“Teacher, how are you?”
“Ah… First of all, there is a pupillary reflex and it seems to see me correctly… There doesn’t seem to be any special abnormalities other than being congested and having a lot of fever.”
“Then what can I do to get better?”
“For now, I think we should wait while lowering the fever with ice packs like we do now.”

Even the ophthalmologist at the nursing home could not make an accurate diagnosis of Ha-jin’s eyes.
In the end, the only option now was to wait up to two days, hoping that Ha-jin’s condition would improve.
Anything more than that can be dangerous in Melbourne, and it’s time to have some certainty that Hajin won’t turn into a monster like Harkov if nothing changes for two days.

“Who is that guy?”
“I put it on top of Juharang.”
“You?”
“I need to let Juha and I have some time together~”
“… “
“Why?”
“It doesn’t make sense to me.”
“What?”
“Your relationship.”

As Kim Hyun-jun, the relationship between Ha-jin and Ha-jin’s women was not understood.
She had been curious all these years, but she had never said it so directly.
Because I thought it was rude.

“Hmm… It just happened naturally. At first, we didn’t have a normal relationship, but thanks to Ha-jin oppa, we survived and were good to us except for the girl issue. It’s good that we’re not lonely when we’re together.”
“Is there love in your relationship?”
“Love? And… You’re a much more emotional person than I thought, right?”
“More than I thought… That’s kind of hard to hear. I am also a person with integrity.”
“Heh heh… I’m sorry if you feel bad. And to answer your question, of course yes. If it were you, would you be able to sleep with someone you don’t even love every day?”
“… Right. I’m sorry too. You asked a rude question.”
“It’s okay~”

Min-seo and Kim Hyun-joon lean on the window frame of the nursing home and look out while talking about it.
For the two of them, it was a sight to see in Korea for the first time in a long time, so it was nice to see them, and they felt something sad about it.
I have to leave here again soon.
Of course, it could come back through the distortion of the space, but I couldn’t guarantee that I would be able to come back.
Because the distortion of space is a door with no destination.

“By the way, brother.”
“Tell me.”
“Has Korea always been this peaceful? Was it only in Seoul that there were so many zombies and monsters?”
“No, it was not such a peaceful place. When me and the guards flew around the country in helicopters looking for survivors, they looked the same everywhere.”
“… “
“… “

Minseo and Kim Hyeonjun, who blinked blankly at each other for a moment, ran to the people gathered downstairs without saying who was first.

“Hey! You said that putting a coin into a marble made the monster shrink, right?”
“Yes…”
“Is it originally reduced to this much?”
“No, not to this extent… However, it is not much different from usual.”

Min-seo and Kim Hyun-joon nodded at Kim Jung-min’s words and immediately started killing all the monsters around them by mobilizing people from Melbourne and even their heads.
Although the scope was quite wide because it cleaned almost the entire city of Chungju in one day to simply say the surroundings.
And the next day, I definitely felt a difference.

“Wow… “
“It’s gone…”
“All the monsters are gone… “

People sticking out their tongues as they wander around the city and look around the clean streets.
Of course, it wasn’t completely clean.
As time passed, the zombies, naturally buried in the presence of the monsters, were roaming the streets where the monsters disappeared.
However, zombies are no longer a big threat not only to those from Melbourne, but also to those who survived the sanitarium.

“First of all, the search team, do not deal with the zombies and find the queen! The combat team handles zombies!”

The sanitarium people systematically divided into teams to search for the queen and clean up the zombies, and in just a few hours, a total of six queens and hundreds of zombies disappeared from downtown Chungju.

“It seems to have been confirmed with this.”
“Yes, that red orb was the key to making the monsters disappear. It’s just as dangerous.”

Kim Hyeon-jun and Min-seo finally became convinced of the power of the red orb, to be exact, the magic marble.
A power that could restore peace to the world or destroy it.
And James, who had been silently standing next to them, opened his mouth after a long time.

“Then we must return to Melbourne as soon as possible. If you find the marble in Melbourne and break it, it’s a big deal. No, Melbourne isn’t the only problem. It is in leader and also in Korea. If so, it is highly likely that the red marbles are spread all over the world. You have to find all the marbles.”
“But how? Do you know where the marble is and find it?”
“… “

James can’t answer Minseo’s question.
It was natural.
There wasn’t even a radar like looking for seven marbles.
However, they hadn’t thought of one very simple fact.
And in such cases, the clues come from very unexpected places.

“Excuse me… Isn’t it okay to go like you did when you came here?”
“Yes?”
“What kind of grain is it?”
“What do you mean?”

The eyes of Minseo, Kim Hyeonjun, and James head toward Kim Jungmin, who cautiously raised his hand and spoke.
After receiving their gaze, Kim Jung-min spoke again cautiously.

“The space is connected, but you found the marble here… Then, if you go to the connected space again, I wondered if there might be another marble there…”
“… “
“… “
“… “

It was a really absurd and simplistic idea, but it was so persuasive.
And if Kim Jung-min’s words were true, finding the red marble was a problem that could be solved much easier than expected.
The only problem was that it cost 10 million coins at a time, but that was also a problem that time would solve.
Then, the next thing to do was to cross the distorted space as quickly as possible and find the red orb.

“Ha..! Ha..! Ha..!”
“Huh… Heo-eok… Heo-eok… Juha, let’s do it one more time.”
“Mi, are you crazy?! How many times has this been since yesterday?! I can’t even die now!!”
“Don’t do that, let’s do it one more time~ Since I can’t see, the feeling is more stimulating~”
“This pervert..! I can’t! I’ll call Minseo unnie, so let’s do it with her!”
“Do not do that.”
“Because I can’t?! No, I won’t!!”
“No, that’s not it, Minseo is coming. It’s all here.”

Jump!!

As soon as Hajin finished speaking, Minseo opened the door and ran into her hospital room.

“Sister… Please deal with my brother… Hee…”
“Is it a player substitution? Challenge yourself.”
“Ha… Now is not the time to be doing this! Wake up soon! Juha, you too, quickly put on your clothes!”
“Wait for a sec! Don’t drag me! I am a patient!”
“You like patients..! Where in the world is there a patient who does this?!”
“For a moment… Could this be rape water? Ohh~ Being beaten by a woman must be different, right? Moreover, in a situation where you can’t even see… Heck!!”
“Stop it and put this on quickly!!”

Minseo, who put her fist into Hajin’s stomach, began to roughly stuff the clothes into Hajin’s body, which fell in front of her.

“Now, that’s stimulating… I never thought I would have a taste like this… Hit me more!!!”
“Shut up! You pervert!!”

Ha-jin, dressed in her clothes without knowing why, escaped the nursing home by her Min-seo’s hand and started climbing Mt. Keimyung behind her.
Because there was a distorted space there.

“Raipra in the mountains… Minseo, are you very creative?”
“Be quiet.”
“But aren’t there too many people? It’s okay to see my body, but I don’t like it when people see your body. I’m going to pluck out your eyes.”
“I told you to be quiet.”
“But… It was also a time when we needed a new stimulus. But still, you can’t show your body. And I’m ashamed to show what I do… Of course, I’m not ashamed of my cleverness… “
“Don’t take your pants off! You pervert bastard!!!”

There were a lot of people climbing the mountain right next to her, so Min-seo, who was about to die of embarrassment, kicked Ha-jin in the butt as she tried to take off her pants and show off her own brilliance.
Then, she tied her with a rope and began to drag her along, and Ha-jin’s snout did not rest during that time.

“Even playing the rope… Minseo, are you starving? Then I should have said it earlier. I want to hug you.”
“If you say one more word, you will never be able to eat again with that mouth.”
“… To be vicious…”
“Juha, give me a window. Put it in my mouth.”
“Here you go. I only pierce my lips.”
“These!!”

Duduk!!

In an instant, Ha-Jin cut off the rope and jumped up, catching the spear flying toward her lips with great ease.

“I will atone.”
“You really can’t see it? What do you block so well?!”
“Expand your senses.”
“What on earth are you copying that from yesterday?!”
“Do not be disturbed. I just do what I have to do.”
“… Ha…”

Thanks to Hajin, who started walking on her own feet, her movement speed increased considerably, and she arrived at her destination, where there was a distortion in space.

“Then I will go. Everyone knows, right? We may go somewhere else, so please come in as close as you can.”

Min-seo, who has become a leader leading people before she knows it, is the first to step out toward the distortion of the space.
However…

Jerk-jerk-jerk-

Perhaps the distortion of the space, which had been marked on the tree next to it in case it would be confused, disappeared, but Minseo’s body was just walking in the mountains.

“… Huh?”

Min-seo looks back with a tilt of her head, and Ju-ha turns her head in a different direction to check the tree she marked yesterday.
However, the mark made yesterday was correct, and in everyone’s memory, the space of yesterday and the space of the present were exactly the same.

“I’m sure this is the right place…”
“I will try.”

Jerk-jerk-jerk-

Kim Hyeon-joon, who stepped forward, also moved to the side of Min-seo, but could not enter the distortion of the space.
And I looked around the area just in case, but there was no distortion of the space anywhere.
In the meantime, thoughts pop into people’s heads.

“If… If the red orb disappears, doesn’t the space to move to another place also disappear..?”

Cho Eun-jung spoke as the representative, but everyone was thinking the same thing.
And those who find that their thoughts coincide with those of others…

“Ruined…”
“So, then you can’t go back to Melbourne anymore?!”
“No! There might be planes left in Korea! There are also Koreans, so let’s go to the nearest airport quickly!”

While the panicked people were flustered, Ha-jin, with a cold-soaked towel covering her eyes and tied tightly behind her head, spoke softly.

“Where should I go?”
