Chapter 15

Chapter 15

In the original novel, the main story begins with the death of Chief Kang Mina.

She got separated from her group and went over the rail. Since no one caught her, but rather ran away, she fell.

It would have been better if she had died as it was, But she was torn apart by the monsters and left with no flesh to speak of.

He was able to easily guess her end from the countless spider legs that followed them, and he saw it with his own eyes as they exited the building.

It didn't take long for the groups morale to die, and it didn't take long for them to get murderous.

The death of a close colleague. A cruel end. Efficiency and humanity.

It wasn't until he met two students much younger than him that he came to his senses.

Jung In-ho overcame the death of his colleague with the responsibility of an adult.

Of course, it was too drastic and dry to say 'overcome', but at least it allowed the main character to make a rational decision.

Although he lost his former colleagues, who willingly accepted death by losing their minds, he met new lives to take responsibility for.

However, Jung In-ho now has not suffered the death of any other person.

There is no weak person to take responsibility for, and Manager Lee Jaehun saved all of them and comforted their spirits, which should have been shattered.

Will Jung In-ho now have the time to deal with the death of others?

.

Needless to say, none of them welcomed death.

Of course, Dr. Ha Seongyoon could be familiar with death as it was his job. However, that did not become a reason to love death itself, and more than that, Jung In-ho was unfamiliar with it.

It's unfamiliar, and it's scary. He hates it to the point where it feels like being locked in a steel room where everything is gray.

Just imagining it makes all the nerves in his body quiver with unpleasant, painful, and stuffy sensations. That was the concept of death.

Because he was Jung In-ho, he could intuit the death of others before anyone else.

Go, go.

.

I have to go.

And he had never, not even once, been prepared for it.

Jung In-ho straightened his grip on the Monkey Spanner and immediately ran out.

You could see how agitated he was by the way he threw away all the twigs he had picked up, and such agitation also spread to Dr. Ha Seongyoon and Boss Yoon Garam.

They stood still in the wake of Jung In-ho's quick run, but soon realized what was happening and instinctively began to move their legs as well.

As Jung In-ho ran ahead of them and fought his way through the oncoming monsters, he realized something strange.

Why did we come so far... ?'

The place where the four of them started and the place where they were now was too far away.

The reason Jung In-ho left his party was to arrange time for them to talk, but he had no intention of going any farther than that.

Wasn't he just here to pick up tree branches in the first place?

There were plenty of those around near the group. No, no, no. That means, Jung In-ho did not even notice that he had gone so far away from the group.

But he could recall the process if he had to.

They hadn't spoken as they searched for branches, and Jung In-ho took this silence for granted as they weren't close to each other at the time.

So, if he had to guess the cause of the current situation, it would be....

.

He remembered the hypothesis that Dr. Ha Seongyoon had suggested earlier.

The hypothesis that mental strength is important in this world.

The moment he looked back on it, Jung In-ho realized.

They had come this far by their own volition, but as Dr. Ha Seongyoon said, they came this far without thinking because their mental strength was low.

In other word, this happened because he spaced out.

Jung In-ho suddenly felt goosebumps rising up to his fingertips.

He had thought he was in control, but in this world, even that was arrogant.

Dr. Ha Seongyoon called him after biting his lip.

Jung-in, Mr. Jung In-ho !

.

We must move together! It will be more troublesome if we split up!

At the words of Dr. Ha Seongyoon, Jung In-ho looked back at the two.

Then, hurry, run faster.

Mr. Jung In-ho.

The doctor with a distorted face continued.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

I understand your urgency, but. Rather, if we go we might make things worse.

How could it get worse ? There is no one there to fight with right now.

But Mr. Lee Jaehun .

The scream you just heard belonged to a woman!

In the end, Jung In-ho, who lost his composure, shouted.

Boss Yoon Garam is with them, so the only ones left are Chief Kang Mina and employee Kwon Yeon-hee.

Chief Kang Mina was too timid to scream, and no matter how simple employee Yeon-hee Kwon was, she wasn't stupid enough to not know that screaming in this situation could bring another monster together.

'One of them screamed?'

What on earth was he thinking alone when he held the pipe in his hand in this world?

Why did he not even resent anyone while shedding so much blood alone?

Its all here, here, if you break it here !

.

be ?

Jung In-ho could not understand him.

.

.

Kang, Kang Mina...ssi."

[Note: ssi means mr/ms, usually I put Ms/Mr if they use ssi without any other title, but I though I should add it here because of the way it was written.]

Boss Yoon Garams voice trembled terribly.

Right before reaching the place she arrived at as she guided her, the first thing that caught her eye was a large wall-shaped sculpture.

There was none other than Chief Kang Mina, who had fallen red and collapsed.

Her eyes were staring into thin air.

uh."

.

Uh, uh .

At that moment, there was no sound other than "uh".

His breath escaped like a thick iron pressing down on his lips, but his stiff tongue was unable to form words.

Perhaps the lips did the work for this idiot who forgot to breathe.

Breathing out through his mouth, his eyes were searching for a sense of reality in the sight he was seeing for the first time in his life.

To be honest, he could think of similar situations like that in movies with a R19 label, but somehow the feeling was completely different from what he saw on screen.

The books always say that the sword bleeds, and he realized now why they used that ridiculous phrase about the liquid soaking into the metal.

Whoever came up with the phrase must have killed a man himself, for where Chief Kang lay, the wooden planks were soaked with red as if it were water.

The person who spewed the blood was staring into the sky, profusely, like a doll.

It was so lifeless, mannequin-like, or like something that could not be human. He even wondered if it was really the person who had spilled this crimson blood.

Her shirt, which she usually wore neatly, was tattered as if it had been ripped out by tens of thousands of teeth, but it still looked quiet like an ornament on the set.

It was too foreign and unfamiliar to be the shape of a person he knew.

The round left eye and the distorted right eye were strangely unrealistic.

Go, Kang, Kang Mina. Mina... .

.

No, no, no, why .

Flop.

Boss Yoon Garam sat down on the ground.

Perhaps she had developed a friendship along with employee Kwon during that short period of time.

Since she was the first person of the same sex she met after falling into a world without a place to turn to, she was devastated by her death.

Jung In-ho recalled the smiles they had when they first met under the urging of employee Kwon.

He soon turned his gaze away from Boss Yoon Garam, who was looking at Chief Kang Mina, unable to approach or hold her hand.

Jung In-ho noticed that Dr. Ha Seongyoon was staring somewhere else.

And at the end of it, there was intern Roh Yun-seok, who was stuck in a big tree.

.

Oh.

So this is what it means to be speechless.

Yun, Seok.

Still, he let out a breath.

That was all.

There were too many things swirling around in the pockets of his mind.

The figure of Yun-seok's leg in the distance or a piece of meat that looked like a broken doll. And the bloody tree and the thick hand holding it were mixed here and there.

But after getting it out of his mouth. Ah.

.

What he was seeing really was a corpse.

People say that death in an instant is something that happens under the sky. He realized that what he was looking at was really a murder scene.

Ha."

He laughed.

How can you describe this as 'death'?
