Chapter 70 – The Hunt Begins (4)

An apartment complex near Nodeul Station.
To put it in a good way, young people in their 20s who were job seekers, but were just grown-up unemployed at home, became hope for their families and people after the zombies appeared.
He mustered courage to fight against zombies on behalf of his family and people, and for the first time in his life, he shouldered the weight of being the head of the family, protecting and feeding his family, including his mother, who had never given pocket money.
It was not possible to confirm whether the father was alive or dead when he went to work, but it raised the self-esteem of young people who had lost a sense of accomplishment and pride in protecting their family and people along with feelings of sadness.
One day, while somehow surviving, I found new hope in flyers scattered from the sky.
Flyers announcing the existence of shelters.
But the road to the shelter was too rough.
It’s dangerous just to get out of town, but it’s a dangerous road to cross the Han River Bridge.
However, the young people, who judged that they could not protect their families and people with their own strength, decided to go to an evacuation center after repeated meetings.

“It’s dangerous, but we have to go. There is a limit to holding out like this, and sooner or later they will all die. So you have to go.”
“But even if you guys don’t know, we… “
“Me and Yongho will lure the zombies as much as possible and make them move safely. And they will move while protecting everyone.”

With the coins earned only by young people, the status quo was barely maintained, and it was so tight that it was impossible to even raise the stats to deal with the increasingly stronger zombies, so everyone could survive only by going to the shelter.
Jeong Do-yoon explained the plan they had made to the people and encouraged them to be as courageous as possible.
And he was thinking of not letting anyone die, not just courage.
Because people included their own family.
Jeong Do-yoon and the people who barely succeeded in persuasion and set off for the shelter.
However, their steps toward the shelter were blocked by an unexpected wall, not a zombie.

Kwaaaaang!!!!
Koo Goo Goo!!!

An unbelievable sight unfolding in front of the people who arrived at the entrance of the Hangang Bridge.
The Han River Bridge collapsed with a large-scale explosion.

“Um, what is that… “
“Run at once!”
“The bridge was blown up! What are you going to do?!”
“If you stop, you will die!!!!”
“Cheack!!!”
“Aagh!!!”

Even the zombies whom Jung Do-yoon and Park Yong-ho had lured by the loud explosions turned and rushed to the Hangang Bridge, and countless zombies behind them and people who were trapped between the broken bridges in the future started running towards the broken bridge.
Because there was no other option other than that.
Those who managed to escape from the crowd of zombies saw the broken bridge in front of them and fled to Nodeul Island.
The first refuge is the live house building right next door.

“Aagh!!!”
“Dong-joo’s mother!!”
“Sah, live… Give… “

Quadduk!!!

“Go somewhere else! Not here!!!”

I hurriedly turned my steps into a live house full of zombies and went to another place, but Nodeul Island was truly a zombie paradise.
Everywhere was full of zombies, and some people in despair jumped into the Han River, saying that they would at least swim across it, but it was just a snack for the enormous monster living in the water.

“Aaaaa!!!”
“Get out of the way, you motherfuckers!!!”

Jeong Do-yoon and Park Yong-ho barely arrived at Nodeul Island using steel structures, guardrails, and cars.
However, what unfolded before their eyes was a horrifying sight of countless zombies devouring people without a shape.

“Mom!!!”
“Mom, where are you?!!!”

Jeong Do-yoon and Park Yong-ho, who are desperately looking for their mother, and a familiar zombie run towards the two shouting.

“Aaaaa!!!”
“Mom… “
“Yongho!!”

Shiiik!!
Chaeeng!!!

“What are you doing?!”
“What are you doing!!”

Instead of blocking Jeong Do-yoon’s knife from being swung at his mother, Park Yong-ho gave his left arm to her mother, who had turned into a zombie.

Kwaduk!!!

“Keuk..!!”
“You became a zombie! Can’t you see?!”
“I can still save you.”

Park Yong-ho, who put down her knife, opened a store, bought a vaccine, and quickly stuck it in her mother’s neck, but the mother, who had already become a zombie that could not be saved by the vaccine, would drive her teeth into her arm even harder. It was only
And Park Yong-ho’s mother, who soon lost her strength and became a dying zombie.

“Uh, Mom… Mom… “
“Wake up. There are still people alive.”
“Hey, you bastard!!! Even your mother would have… “
“Kill me. If mom turned into a zombie… Instead of me.”

If her mother became a zombie like she did, Jeong Do-yoon asked her to kill her instead.
And after a while, Jeong Do-yoon had to witness his mother, who had become a zombie, die right in front of her friend’s hand.

“Sorry… “
“Thanks… And mom… I’ll promise. I will definitely avenge you.. For sure..!”

Jeong Do-yoon is determined to take revenge on those who cut off the road to the shelter after distributing flyers telling them to come to the shelter.
No, the 13 young men and women who survived the hellish Nodeul Island pledged bloody revenge.

***

Jump!

“Huh..! Huh..! Huh..! Huh..”
“Are you awake?”
“When did I fall asleep..?”
“I don’t know, I saw earlier that he was sleeping with a grunt.”

Despite a very brief sleepover, Jeong Do-yoon, who came back as a dream of the terrible memories of Nodeul Island, approached Park Yong-ho, who was looking out the window, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

“What about that child?”
“I can not see.”
“Then let’s plan again. I don’t think it’s going to be normal.”

Park Yong-ho, who nodded at Jeong Do-yoon’s words and turned away from the window, turned back toward Jeong Do-yoon without taking a single step.

“Do Yoon.”
“Uh.”
“We just… Shall we not take revenge?”
“What do you mean, that?”
“That bastard is so strong.. He probably isn’t the only one in the shelter.. I honestly don’t have the confidence to win..”

Thirteen people survived Nodeul Island, but now there are only seven people.
Even after leaving Nodeul Island, the remaining five people, including Jeong Do-yoon and Park Yong-ho, arrived here only after losing nearly half of their lives.
People who barely survived in countless sacrifices.
So, even though Park Yong-ho lost his mother right in front of his eyes, he wanted to protect his life and everyone else’s life rather than take revenge.

“My mother and your mother will want us to survive rather than avenge ourselves.”
“Park Yong-ho.”
“Or come back when you’re a little stronger! You know very well that there is no chance of winning if we fight now!”
“Quiet.”
“Whoa… To be honest, are you the only one whose mother died right in front of her eyes? Me too and so do they all! But why are you the only one who is so anxious about not being able to take revenge!”
“Only me?”
“Yes, at first we all wanted revenge. But not now. We don’t want to take revenge even at the cost of our lives! I want to live!!”
“Su-gyeong was humiliated by that bastard, and Min-je lost an eye. And now I’m wandering between death and death. In addition, Moon-ho, Jeong-soo, Min-joo, and Yeo-jin all asked for revenge as they were dying. Like you said, if we give up vengeance just to live, how will we see their faces when we die?”
“So you killed Hoyeong and Ansu because they didn’t want to take revenge?”
“You really..!”
“The kids now don’t want revenge. I’m just afraid I’ll die like Hoyeong and Ansu to you, so I’m doing what I’m told to do!”

The other party, who had been quiet at the sound of the two fighting, got up one by one and gathered at the window.
And they all said to stop taking revenge.
Not only Lee Soo-kyung, who was humiliated by Ha-jin, but also Kim Min-jae, who barely came to his senses.

“Brother.. Let’s just run away.. I don’t want to die like this.. It hurts so much..”
“You want to run away from the guy who made you like this? Sukyung suffered something like that?!”
“Brother.. We just run away.. We just have to forget everything by ourselves and live..”
“Lee Soo-kyung!!”

Seeing Jeong Do-yoon screaming, Yee Soo-kyung shuddered and began to hear strange noises in the increasingly heavy atmosphere.

Right! Right! Right! Right!

“What is this sound..?”
“Didn’t I just hear that? What are you talking about?”

It wasn’t a sound made by a zombie.
The sound of something hard hitting the floor.
It was also a very artificial sound, so everyone held their breath and listened to the sound, and slowly turned their heads toward the door where the sound came from.

“No way… “

Bang!!!

The door collapsed with a loud sound, revealing Ha-jin, who had climbed the stairs using a mace as a walking stick to hit the floor.

“I was here~”
“How can I…!”
“Ah, nothing to be so surprised about. In this area, zombies were concentrated only near this building~ So it was easy to find them.”
“Do, run away… Sugyeong-ah, run away!!”
“Everyone raise your arms! In a small space, we have an advantage with a lot of numbers!”
“What? Are the sides divided? It’s okay~ I just need to kill you for now. Will you come Shall I go?”

Ha-jin’s eyes were fixed only on Jeong Do-yoon.
An opponent who only scratched her slightly, but decapitated her own.
And an opponent that I think she might have some very good traits for.
Because that was Jeong Do-yoon.

“Aren’t you coming? Then I go, what?”

Tadadat-

Without hesitation, Ha-jin, who ran into a rather small office where seven people gathered, reflexively avoids herself and sees the people stepping back from her, then points her head at Jung Do-yoon, who is raising a knife in front of her chest. I lowered my mace.

Whoops!!
Coo!!!

A dented and shattered floor with a slammed mace.
And Jeong Do-yoon, who managed to avoid the attack by pulling back, stabbed Ha-jin with the knife he was holding at chest level.

Shiiik!!
Kaang!!!!
Hooked!!!

The blade that had been split in two was driven into the ceiling by the mace that was lifted upwards with the sound of metal that resonated at the moment.
And the corner of Hajin’s mouth slightly raised.

“You didn’t think earlier that that was my power, did you?”
“… “
“I’m sorry. The stupid look on his face made him think it was worth a try. Well, it’s good to live life positively. Still… “

Whoo!!!

“Looking down on you makes me feel dirty.”
“… “

For a moment, Jeong Do-yoon, who did not react at all to the mace that passed in front of his nose, felt it.
That Hajin didn’t intentionally kill herself.
And a single word slipped through her lips.

“Eh, run away… “

Park Yong-ho and the rest of the party turn around and start running at a word that came out as if muttering.
There was no hesitation in their actions.
To the extent that Hajin who is watching is dumbfounded.

“And… Being loyal to humans… Are you an outcast? How can you run away without looking back? Minseo isn’t even like that.”
“You, you… What the hell… “
“Me? Hajin Kang. He is as strong as his name.”
“… “
“Isn’t it fun? Laugh even if it’s not funny Because I feel bad. Or fall behind.”

Ha-jin lifts the mace and strikes it down again.
However, the attack was a bit strange.
It wasn’t hunting stupid zombies, but it was unnecessarily large and full of loopholes.
As if deliberately inducing an opponent’s attack.
And Ha-jin’s attack led to Jeong Do-yoon’s counterattack.

Whoops!!
Shiiik!!

Ha-jin strikes down the mace in her right hand, and Jeong Do-yoon wields a sword that cuts her in two, aiming for her defenseless neck while pulling her left shoulder back.

‘This isn’t it. Is it because you are so open about it? An attack that stabs my loophole. If that’s the attack timing… ‘

Wanting to pull off the attack that slashed his throat once more, Ha-jin hurriedly stepped back, letting go of his mace as if embarrassed by the counterattack.
Then, Jeong Do-yoon closes the distance and swings the knife again.

‘Not yet? Is it because I’m looking too squarely?’

Ha-jin slightly tilted his head slightly, twisting his body slightly so that Jeong Do-yoon’s left hand could aim at the back of his head on purpose, and bent at the waist to avoid the sword being swung.
Of course, he did not twist his left hand completely out of sight, but twisted his body so that he could see it.
And Ha-jin, whose eyes twinkle at that moment, and Jeong Do-yoon, who pulls out the dagger behind him and swings it at his side, with only his left arm moving minimally, as if he had fast-forwarded his shoulder.

‘Is this the trigger condition? Or is he targeting this timing and using it?’

I wanted to find an answer to the question that popped into my head at the moment, but Ha-jin moved busily starting with his right hand.

Snap!

Ha-jin’s right hand grabbed Jeong Do-yoon’s left wrist as he swung a dagger.
And the swinging left fist pierced Jeong Do-yoon’s right side.

Pooh!!!

“Chehehe..!!!”
“This is River Blow, you bastard.”

Jeong Do-yoon, whose body was bent sideways by his left fist deeply embedded in his side as if digging into his side, collapsed to the floor with only his left wrist lifted.

“Cheer.. Coarse..! Kuck..!”
“Can’t you even breathe? Originally yes That’s where it hurts so bad. Than that… Hmm… I don’t know if it’s useful or not. It seems like I don’t really need it…”

There was only one reason Ha-jin led her dangerous attack, which slashed her own throat.
The number of characteristics that can be possessed is limited to four, and it was to experience once again whether the characteristics were effective enough to throw away one of the characteristics that one had.
And as a result of his own experience, Ha-jin, who concluded that it was a trait that was not very necessary, decided to sell Jeong Do-yoon.
Of course, it was decided to sell Jeong Do-yoon’s characteristics.

“Then let’s just break the limbs.”
“Now, wait… Listen to my story first..! What attacked you… “
“You don’t want to hear it?”

Awesome!!

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

A terrifying scream erupted.
Jeong Do-yoon’s left hand, which was hanging horizontally on his wrist, turned vertically.
But this wasn’t the end.

Duduk!! Awesome!! Wooddeuk!!

On the contrary, the folded right arm, the broken left shin, and the right foot that returned to its place after a full turn.
Jeong Do-yoon, whose limbs were broken in an instant, lost consciousness while biting into crab foam, and Ha-jin put Jeong Do-yoon in a cabinet next to him and kept it neatly, then went out to find the people who had escaped.

“Hide tightly~ If you see your hair, look for it~”
