Chapter 74 – A Group of Survivors
Suddenly!
The head of one of the thugs standing in front was cut off and rolled around on the floor.
Cutting off a person’s head in one go is not an easy task.
Even if you have professional equipment, it is clear that you will not be able to cut through even bones with just a sword.
Wouldn’t it be better if you smashed it instead of blowing it? It was almost impossible to sit upright like that like me.
“What… ?”
One person’s life was lost in an instant in an unbelievable manner.
Instead of screaming, everyone could only stare blankly at the corpse in bewilderment at the so unrealistic sight of blood slowly oozing out from the straight cut cross section of the neck.
“Where has all the momentum from earlier gone?”
“…”
Did I look like a devil when I killed a person like that and then talked about it as if nothing had happened?
The thugs began to tremble and take a step back.
“Fuck, you idiots! Kill them quickly! There’s only one person! One person!”
Kim Min-sik took a step back and kicked the back of the subordinate who came right in front of him.
“Hee hee?! Hee hee?!”
As I fell forward, one of the thugs in front of me tried to get up with a loud scream.
However, it is said that when you are immersed in fear, your body does not feel like your own.
Since there is no time to get up and run away with two shaking legs, he tries to run away by crawling.
But.
Suddenly.
I effortlessly crawled away and easily cut off the head of the fleeing thug.
Tuk. And his head fell and rolled around on the floor.
A trace of blood was left where the head his rolled.
“Let’s finish it quickly. I don’t have to worry if I get back before night falls.”
“Lord, kill me!”
Kim Min-sik shouted.
“Lord, if you’re going to kill me, you go first!”
“Why should I search for it!”
Eventually, my subordinates recognized me as a scarier person than Kim Min-sik, and they began to rebel against Kim Min-sik.
“W-what… ?!”
He was embarrassed as if this was his first time doing something like this.
But of course.
I had no intention of keeping them alive.
As I trudged closer, the gangsters realized that there was only a short distance from here to escape, so they had no choice but to grab a kitchen knife and glare at me.
“It’s fun.”
Meanwhile.
The boss stepped forward.
He was holding a pistol in his hand that I didn’t know where he got it from, and he continued speaking while aiming the gun’s muzzle at me.
“Did you learn the sword?”
The gangsters seemed a little relieved and burst into laughter, probably because they thought even the country could not do anything if they were pointing guns at them like this.
The appearance of ensuring their victory.
“No. It’s pure poison?”
“Self-taught? What do you mean? It’s not like some kind of self-taught webtoon fight.”
The atmosphere was such that it was hard to believe that someone could kill someone like that by teaching themselves when it was so trivial to learn.
“But whatever. It’s fun. It’s really fun. What’s your name?”
“Han Jaewon.”
“Yes, Jaewon. Can’t we just be on the same side instead of fighting like this? There’s no need to shed blood, right? The world is full of zombies, so humans should at least hold hands, right?”
It seemed like he was also trying to make me his subordinate.
At that sight, I noticed that Kim Min-sik next to me was in deep trouble with a distorted face.
I think they’re planning a rebellion while the boss is off guard.
“I don’t like it.”
“Why? Ah… I guess there’s someone waiting since you said earlier that you don’t have to worry if you go back before night falls?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Okay, okay. Everyone who is waiting for you, please come here. I will ensure that you live as prosperously as possible. In return, you will become my faithful dog. In return, I will place some safety restrictions, but there will be no major problems in living. I will treat you as well. I give you enough to overflow.”
Thinking that he had clearly gained the upper hand, he now tried to semi-forcibly make him his subordinate.
However. By the way. If I accepted and brought Seo-ah and Seung-i, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t touch it.
If I touched them, they would touch me. There was no way my women could protect me, and above all, I had no intention of going under anyone.
“I don’t like it?”
“…”
When I refused without hesitation, I frowned.
“Even if I die if I refuse?”
“Me?”
“So. Can’t you see this gun? It’ll hit you between the eyes before you even take out the gun on your back?”
I am confident.
But I am also confident.
For some reason, it seemed like I couldn’t avoid the flying bullet, but looking at the finger pulling the trigger, I felt like I could dodge it well.
“Try it.”
Grinning.
When I answered confidently, I drew a smile on my face and tightened my finger on the trigger.
With a slight movement, I lowered my posture.
Taang~!
I didn’t really think I was going to shoot, but anyway, the bullet that came out of the fire-spouting muzzle cut through the air and grazed the top of my head.
“What… ?!”
He hurriedly lowered his gun with a face full of embarrassment, as if he had never dreamed he would escape, but it was already too late.
“Get out!”
I quickly turned towards the thugs who couldn’t aim at me.
He turned the muzzle of the gun, but when his men were where the gun was pointed, he hurriedly tried to push his men away, but I was already in front of him.
Suddenly!
The wrist held the gun was cut.
Just like when he cut off the thugs’ heads earlier, his severed wrist was rolling around on the floor and he dropped the gun he was holding tightly.
“Ah, ah… ?”
When my hand was cut off, I was unable to recognize the situation for a moment and looked at the cut off section blankly and let out an exclamation.
Soon, blood began to flow out from the cut section and the pain came, so I let out a belated scream and grabbed my wrist.
“Aaaaah! My, my hand! My sooooon!”
He grabbed his wrist and screamed, then quickly grabbed his hand that had fallen to the floor.
“Oh, doctor… ! Doctor! Come on! Hurry up and put it on! You can put it on! Where is it?!”
He was urgently looking for a doctor, but his men were frightened and did not take any steps.
That may have two meanings.
One is that among the hundred or so survivors, not a single one had previously been a doctor.
The second me is so scared that I can’t take a step.
Honestly, the latter doesn’t make much sense, so it’s probably the former.
Before the world became like this, it seemed like there were a lot of doctors in the world, but when you actually count them, there were only a few doctors.
Therefore, this means that there is not a single doctor in this group of over 100 people.
“It looks like it’s not here either.”
To be honest, I didn’t hide my wish that there were at least one doctor when I heard that there were a hundred people, but as soon as I realized that there really wasn’t, I felt a sense of regret.
“Aaaaah! Son! So-on!”
Although he was the leader of a gang, he was panicking and crying because his hand had just fallen off.
I couldn’t help but wonder if he was really a gangster.
This is why it seemed like no matter what I said, he wouldn’t listen and would look for various ways to attach his severed hand.
In short, it is not a good situation to dig up information.
Well, if time passes, the opposite sex may come back and answer my questions sincerely, but there wasn’t just one person here.
Then there is Kim Min-sik, who seems to hold power in his hands, and there are his subordinates.
So there is no need to save it.
Above all, I didn’t know what kind of troublesome things the boss might do, so I didn’t have anything to look at, so I raised my sword and slashed at his neck to kill him.
Suddenly.
The neck his is cut so easily and straightly, as if cutting paper.
The body lost its balance and fell to the floor, with the head rolling around the body.
Originally, it was said that a person would not die right away even if his head fell off, but as they say, he was shocked to see his body falling to the floor, with his eyes blinking from his rolling head.
Soon, he could not survive for long and his head stopped in that state.
Looking at the body with two wide-open eyes.
“…”
In an instant, the once lively atmosphere fell into silence.
The morale of the gangsters has long since fallen as they not only cut down people indiscriminately but also defeated opponents holding guns.
It was my first time killing someone again, but I had no feelings.
Feeling ashamed? Feeling guilty? Sadness? Fear? Without any verification, I just thought that I was dead, like when I killed a zombie.
“Is there anyone else who can do more?”
I picked up the pistol that had fallen on the floor and held it out, holding the muzzle.
It’s as if he meant that if there’s anyone else who wants to do more, they can grab the handle of this gun and shoot me or do something about it.
He looked so confident and relaxed that the gangsters were shaking their heads vigorously.
“What about you, uncle?”
Lastly, I asked Minsik Kim a question.
“Fighting like I’m crazy… No… I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry about?”
“Everything I did…”
The proud appearance from before had disappeared and he immediately curled his tail and averted his eyes, like a person who is weak and strong.
I don’t plan on apologizing, but I pretend to accept it for now.
“Okay, then.”
I shrugged my shoulders and put the pistol in my pocket, and Minsik Kim let out a sigh of relief.
Then he smiled brightly and continued speaking.
“First of all, could you please gather everyone together? Every single person.”
Badass
