Chapter 6

Episode 6 [Omen (3)]

Buuuung.

Cars flocked to the abandoned factory complex. These were vans and trucks with ‘Animal Quarantine’ written on them.

The cars stopped in front of the factory complex and people got out of the van in front.

“Move! Stay alert until we make sure it’s safe!”

Wearing black body armor, helmets, and guns in their hands, they looked like anti-terrorism units or special forces.

They quickly entered the complex, keeping a watchful eye.

Kyung-hoon, who was standing in front of the building and watching the car come in, raised both his hands. It seemed like I chose the wrong place to report.

“I should have just called the police.”

People who appeared to be special forces approached quickly, and the person in front asked Kyung-hoon,

“Are you the one who reported it?”

“yes.”

“Where are the harmful animals found?”

Kyung-hoon pointed to the factory with his raised hand.

“Lead entry.”

After checking Kyung-hoon’s hand, he let the two people into the factory.

“Oh my god.”

A suppressed scream was heard from inside the factory. Then, the team members also entered the factory, but the moaning only increased.

After a while, they entered the factory. People came running out.

Some unit members took off their masks and started gagging, and others also turned white. They had seen many bad scenes many times, but the scene inside the factory exceeded their expectations. “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

” Didn’t you?”

The man who asked the question bluntly a moment ago asked with a completely different expression.

“Yes, it was a little chafed, but there were no major injuries.”

He looked at Kyung-hoon with admiration after seeing his tattered clothes.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

After finally giving a proper greeting, he took out his walkie-talkie and said,

“Internal verification has been completed. It’s safe.

As he made contact, people got out of other vans and trucks.

There were public officials wearing armbands saying ‘Animal Quarantine’ and people wearing white quarantine suits.

The abandoned factory complex was crowded for the first time in a long time.

Trucks and vans were lined up on one side, and dead dogs and cats were being carried out to the trucks.

People in quarantine suits were walking around cleaning up the surroundings, and outside the factory complex, local people were gathered and chatting.

“I heard that dogs and cats died en masse.”

“They have been crying loudly for the past few days. Was it because they ate something wrong?”

“Oh my, that’s too bad.”

“But now that everyone is dead, will the neighborhood become a lot cleaner?”

Some people felt sorry for the dead animals, but many residents seemed to be happy.

Due to incorrect information, people did not consider what happened inside the factory to be a big deal. It was clear that they would quickly forget once the factory was cleaned up today.

People were talking loudly . Meanwhile, the body of a monster cat was loaded into a black van. It was wrapped tightly in white cloth, so the people outside had no idea what was being moved. Kyung-hoon stood in the corner and watched

the scene. He had the words ‘Animal Quarantine’ written on his tattered clothes. He was wearing a jacket.

Kyung-hoon was sweating while giving a statement to a government official a little while ago.

He couldn’t tell the truth. Then, he had to talk about how he had changed, so he had to explain that he got caught up in a fight between animals. But he understood that explanation well. It didn’t seem to work. The civil servant held him for a long time and wouldn’t let him go.

Fortunately, the military successor who had called earlier arrived, and thanks to him, I was able to get out of the boring statement.

“Brother, it’s been a while since you’ve had a good job. .”

“Well, if that’s what you’re like, then that’s true,”

Jinhyuk continued, flipping the meat over.

“As I said before, the ‘Animal Quarantine Department’ is a department created by recruiting from various departments such as the Ministry of Health’s Livestock Quarantine Department, the Police Special Forces, and the Forest Service. Yes. It wasn’t even that long. “Six months?”

“So what are you doing?”

“Well, we will continue to work on livestock quarantine... Anyway, that has nothing to do with us. We deal with mutant animals that have appeared recently.”

“Mutant?”

“You saw it during the day, too. It’s a very big cat.”

“There are so many people like that? Enough to create a separate department? I’ve never heard of such a thing?”

“There are quite a few. I’ve already dealt with it more than 10 times.”

Jinhyuk told the story while eating meat.

Jinhyuk didn’t know when the mutation began to appear. The police special forces he belonged to were moved to a new department six months ago, and there he was

. He ended up dealing with mutant animals instead of people.

“At first, I think the hunters got hurt and died a lot while dealing with them. Police officers also get hurt a lot. It was quite dangerous for us too. “I could only catch it by pouring slug bullets from a medium to large rifle.”

Looking at it now, Jinhyuk’s face was showing signs of fatigue.

“Before, there weren’t many of them coming down to private homes, but recently they’ve been seen even in private homes. The damage to the general public has increased. Looking at it today, it seems like abandoned dogs and cats have also changed...”

“It’s not just our country, right?”

“That can’t be true. There are also significant connections between countries. Official announcements are being blocked, but most large countries are moving together. Of course, the United States is controlling it.”

“You couldn’t figure out why?’’

“Well, I always took corpses and captured them alive, but I couldn’t seem to figure it out.”

Jinhyuk continued speaking while looking at Kyunghoon.

“That’s why I’m telling my brother to come and visit. “I was just about to call you, but I don’t think this will end like this.”

Jinhyuk’s expression looked serious as he spoke.

“As you know, it’s all confidential. It seems like they block broadcasts and articles as much as possible. It looks like the topic has gone out a bit. “You don’t know if it’s this serious for everyone.”

Kyung-hoon replied that he would think about Jin-hyuk’s words.

After that, the two drank while talking about life in the world.

After drinking to their heart’s content, they parted ways around midnight. Jin-hyuk once again gave up until the end. He told him to think about it and got into a taxi, and Kyung-hoon waved at him.

After breaking up with Jin-hyuk, Kyung-hoon returned to his room. He sat on the chair and glared at the desk. On the desk was a cell phone that kept moving even if it wasn’t charged. Was it

because his body had changed? The alcohol he had drunk so far disappeared quickly.

What should he do?

After returning from the strange world, Kyung-hoon’s worries continued. He was confident that he would never even think about going to a dangerous place again, and his curiosity and sense of adventure were wriggling. I was constantly fighting.

So far, I had been on the side of not going to dangerous places.

It was good for adventure and it was good to solve my doubts, but there was no reason to risk my life for it. Living in this safe world, especially Korea, I couldn’t do anything dangerous after the military. He had no thoughts.

But what happened today changed his thoughts.

It wasn’t safe here either.

It had been a while since the mutants appeared. Moreover, the appearance of the mutants was very similar to what he had seen in the other world.

How would things have happened in that world? I felt like I could figure it out.

In the end, the scale of my worries tipped the other way.

Kyung-hoon held the cell phone in his hand.

*Enter your personal information.

The text was blinking on the screen.

Kyung-hoon tapped the keyboard.

[Kang Kyung-hoon ]

Hwaak!

As I entered the name, the phone screen lit up.
