Chapter 93 – Invasion (2)

Tree house.
It would be infinitely uncomfortable for modern people to live in, but it was at least plausible compared to a dugout.

Could this have been made by humans?
It would be difficult to build something like this with bare hands on bare ground. Probably borrowed the power of a coin.

A total of 6 survivors are displayed inside the tree house.
I slowly pushed the wooden house door with my foot, holding the spear so that I could respond to anyone who suddenly attacked.

– Kiki.

A wooden door that does not fit together opens with a worn sound.
I hope that the sound has not reached the ears of the other survivors, and I quietly put my head inside the door.

My sensitive nerves caught the strong smell before the indoor scenery.

It smells familiar to me too.
It was the scent of sex, a mixture of sweat and bodily fluids from men and women.

… Was the smell of others so repulsive?
The bridge of my nose crinkled at the stinging stench that stung my nose.

It smells like an animal pen, not a human house. Would it smell like this if I stayed in an enclosed space with no ventilation for three days and three nights?
Controlling my breathing, I looked around the dimly lit room.

“…”

And, he met his round eyes.
There was a woman looking this way with her mouth open.

“Ah.”

A voice is about to come out of the woman’s open mouth.

-Shh.

I put my finger to my lips and signaled her.
The woman who saw that hurriedly covered her mouth with both her hands.

She knew at a glance that she was not my enemy.
Handcuffs on both wrists. Swollen face. There, sitting helplessly with only a pair of shabby panties on, couldn’t be seen in a natural state.

Okay. That was clearly the behavior of a battered woman.

“…”

How to do this.
As she stared at her woman in her strange vagueness, she hesitantly covered her exposed breasts with her arm, as if conscious of my gaze on her. The handcuffs on her wrists made a clanking sound.

It was fortunate though. If the woman was loud, she might have had to resort to extreme measures. Because that kind of misfortune doesn’t happen.

“… It’s okay.”

As if signaling me, she turns her gaze to one side of the room.
At the end of that line of sight is a shabby bed and a man lying naked.

Of course I knew. As far as there are people there.

“Coo.”

A middle-aged man lying face down on a shabby bed, breathing soundly as if in a deep sleep.
Looking at the butt of a man I didn’t want to see, I made up my mind.

If you’ve come this far, don’t hesitate. There was no need for new resolutions or anything.
Just do what I have to do as efficiently as possible.
Eliminate potential threats to our safety. Regardless of whether the opponent is evil or not.

I stood in front of the bed
Then, after setting up the spear vertically, he shot it down at once.

– Kwajik.

A dull texture piercing through the heavy meat.
The titanium spear pierced the man’s back, severing his ribs, and dug into the bed.

“Big… Flaw…”

The man who was surprised while sleeping vomited his phlegm boiling sound.
His head is stiff and he trembles, but that’s all. Any resistance was impossible.

The bed is dyed dark red around the pierced man.

Bloodstains expanding their territory in a circle.
But that’s for a while. Soon the blood stopped expanding.
At the same time, the man’s body also disappeared.
Systematically, he was completely declared dead.

“After.”

I think I was holding my breath without realizing it.
I exhaled consciously, choosing my breath.

Perhaps the tense sensations were creating an illusion, as if the heartbeat of the man she had killed remained in her hand.

First murder.
However, without any sentiment, I moved in search of the next target. Because I can’t do that now.

Inside the small door next to the bed, I could feel someone’s presence.
There must be someone else in here. According to the terminal, there had to be at least four more people.

As before, I slowly pushed the door open with my foot.

– Kik.

“Aww!”

The moment the door opened slightly, a man hiding in a blind spot next to the door screamed and struck with a large knife.

– Whiing!

What I was holding in my hand was, of course, a knife of a familiar shape to me, Mateche.
If I had pushed the door open with my hand, the blade might have cut my wrist.

But the blade’s trajectory was far off. As I quickly pulled my leg out, the blade razed past my feet and cut through the air.

“Ahh! Wow!”
“After-.”

We are not all used to killing people.
It was the same for me and the man who swung the knife at me.

He somehow brandished his knife to kill me first before being killed by me.
However, there was no way that the sword I wielded recklessly would hit the target properly.

Whiing. The first sword he swung cut through the air.
Wheein, puck. The blade of the second swing was embedded in the wooden door.

“Ugh, kuh!”

A man struggles to get a knife that has been deeply bitten in a wooden door.
However, the knife that had been swung hard did not come off easily, and at this moment the man was defenseless. To the extent that even if I stabbed the spear honestly, there would be no way to stop it.

In an instant, the man’s face came into my field of vision.

Age wouldn’t have fallen that far with me. Maybe mid to late 20’s?
He looks older because of the environment here, but he may actually be younger than me.

He was such a man.
He was an ordinary man, seen everywhere.

“Uh-uh–“

– Poo-wook.

The tip of my spear pierces the man’s defenseless chest.

-Puck.

The spearhead again pierced the man’s chest, pushed, and pierced the wooden wall.
The man was pinned to the wall like a stuffed insect.

“Kek, heh.”

Pain, horror, fear.
All sorts of emotions showed in the man’s eyes toward me.

Both hands, which were trying to pull out a knife stuck in a tree, are now struggling as if trying to pull out a spear stuck in my chest.

However, the deeply embedded spear did not budge, just like the machete.
I put strength on the arm holding the spear, wary of others intervening.

“Turn it off… Hey hey…”

An unequal struggle with the spear stuck in his chest.
As time passed, I could see with my own eyes that the life force was draining from the man.

But that’s for a while.
At one point, the man’s hands fell like a marionette with a broken string. His eyes, which had been glaring at me fiercely, lost their focus and lowered his head.

The man’s life was cut off.
The body soon disappeared, as always.

“Whoa.”

He let out the breath he had been holding.

– Ugh.

With the body gone, I forcibly twisted the empty spear from the wall and pulled it out.

Two people.
Killed two people in the blink of an eye.

Murder. It was a line I consciously didn’t want to cross.
However, when I actually did it, I didn’t feel as special as I thought. Rather, it was to the point where I thought it was much simpler than hunting a beast.

I slowly turned my head and looked around the room.

“Hit, Queek.”
“Sah, save me, save me…”

In addition to the man I killed, there were three more women in the room.

In the same shabby bed as the one in the next room, there are probably two naked women.
Amado is because the two women are close together and covering themselves with a blanket. Just like women caught cheating by their husbands.

Were you wearing three women at once? Good to sell That’s not what I’m saying.

The two terrified women showed no will to oppose me. I couldn’t even scream and cried and prayed for my life.

I turned my gaze to the other woman.

“Uh, uh…”

Again, a look of terror. Unlike the other two women, however, she held up her weapon as if to resist me. Even though what she was holding in her hand was not a blade, but a wooden chair, she said.

“After-.”

Breathe slowly
Her breathing, which had been a little shaken from killing the man, returned to normal.

Is this woman on the same side as the man she killed?

That buck I take a step toward the woman holding the chair.
My footsteps were especially loud in the cramped space.

“Ah… !”

Then the woman dropped the chair she was holding with a noise as if someone had startled her.

-Little.
The sound of a chair hitting the floor resounded loudly. The women on the bed were even more frightened and cowered.

“Ah… Ah…”

The woman who showed a will to resist for a while, but when she faced me, she just shuddered in fear.

“…”

… What do we do?

The man kills This is a definite matter.
──Then, what about the woman?

Even if innocent women are spared, what will she do if there is a woman who used to be friends with men?
After all, wouldn’t it be better to just kill it?

“Ah…”

I look at the woman in front for a moment.
She was a fragile woman barely out of her teens.

You’ve probably never done anything tough outside. I didn’t think I would be defeated even if they came after me with a knife.

“…”

After thinking for a moment, I turned my back.

Let’s put the troublesome problems behind us. It won’t hurt me right away anyway.
My head was complicated and my body was tired. I wanted to go home and rest.

Before that, the first thing to do is… Yes.
At first, the lookout, who passed by, had to catch the man.
Now you just have to deal with it.

“Hey, Hyunchul Jang! Sometime after shift time, it’s still—”

The moment I left the tree house, I ran into a man grumbling and walking this way.
It was the man who was watching (or sleeping, to be exact).

“Uh… Uh huh?”

I was about to kill you from now on.
The target had come on its own.
