Chapter 109 – Going Out
Finally, I went outside with the two people.
I thought it wasn’t much different, but it felt different to them, and their faces were relaxed after breathing the outside air for the first time in a long time.
After giving permission, I went out with the girls on the condition that they go out with me, but I was really worried.
I didn’t know if the men who saw them would be captivated by their beauty and come up to the fourth floor, which I told them not to go up to while I was away, and do bad things to them.
Fortunately, the 4th floor was the floor we used and it was said that no one else was allowed to enter, so no one had seen them at the moment.
But it will change the moment you go down.
What kind of people are these two people who don’t even know how I feel? What are they doing now? He was waiting for me to come down with a face full of interest.
But you can’t suddenly change your mind and go into the house.
I clicked my tongue and started taking the two people down the stairs.
As we left the 4th floor and entered the 3rd floor, we slowly began to see people.
Men and women, old and young, could not take their eyes off us who had just come down from the fourth floor.
To be precise, I was so captivated by Seo-ah and Seung-i’s beauty that I couldn’t even think of taking my eyes off them.
Because this was my first time seeing them, their eyes did not contain any dark emotions of desire.
But this is only for a moment.
As the shock of the women’s beauty began to fade as they went down to the first floor and started watching people, some men had lust in their eyes.
I feel like plucking out my eyes, but I can’t just pluck them out just because I looked at them with eyes full of dark desires.
If these two people saw my behavior like this, they might dislike me even a little, so I had to refrain from impulsive actions as much as possible.
I don’t feel very good about people looking at the two women like this, but unlike me, the two didn’t seem to mind at all.
Is it because I was sick of men’s explicit gaze even before the world became like this? The person concerned didn’t seem to mind at all, but I was the only one reacting sensitively.
“Wow… Wow…”
I couldn’t help but be impressed by his appearance that even a woman would fall in love with.
They couldn’t wash properly and were wearing dirty clothes, but Seo-ah and Seung-i were wearing clean clothes with soft skin, so they narrowed their eyebrows with jealousy behind their admiration.
Likewise.
“Ah…”
Kang Seo-yoon, who had been running after spotting me, stopped when she saw the two women standing next to me.
She looked at her appearance blankly without any thought, and compared herself to herself, who was living such an unhuman life and going through all the hardships, she was jealous of them with her sad eyes.
But she can’t show it. She approached with her expression and mind as organized as possible, but whether she knew it or not, her feelings were being revealed in her expression.
It’s so faint that other people can’t recognize it.
“Hello… “
She bows her head deeply to me.
She told me not to do this, but she dared to greet me like this.
I tried to dissuade her once or twice, but when she didn’t get any better, I left her alone.
Anyway, Kang Seo-yoon’s eyes are still full of jealousy and envy, but she is a woman who is more capable than she looks, so she decided to pretend not to know.
“Yes. Hello, Seo-yoon.”
“Yes…”
She was gently biting her lower lip because she felt like she would let down her guard even a little and immediately show jealousy.
This time too, I looked away and pretended not to notice.
“Mr. Seo-yoon.”
“Yes.”
“Can I get a status report?”
I naturally told her to report her situation.
I said I wouldn’t get involved with these groups and wouldn’t even help them, but shouldn’t I know at least a little bit about how the situation is going?
So, little by little, I was getting information about this place from her.
The information is briefly summarized as how a small number of people selected from among the current survivors went out with crude weapons, how much food and water they brought back, what they roughly were, and what they brought back with great difficulty. We were even briefed on how long we could endure if everyone shared the food.
The situation is worse than expected.
“It’s bad… ?”
It wasn’t very good.
Of course, it was difficult to go out and find food, water, and supplies, but most of all, there was a risk of death from zombie attacks, so there was almost no support.
The people who run it now. So, the search teams were no different from men being pushed and forced to do it.
As a result, the number of people was too large compared to the amount found and brought back because they were not active in the search, so the amount decreased was still large.
It is said that food and water are on the verge of depletion sooner or later.
“I think it will be about two weeks at most.”
Under the premise of eating sparingly and sparingly, there were only two weeks left.
Even if it is short, it cannot be too short.
Kang Seo-yoon, who was not unaware of this, had a look of nervousness on her face.
In this situation, the worst situation is that it would not be strange at all if a rebellion breaks out.
Even.
“No one died during the search, but the problem is that many people were injured while moving and running away from zombies.”
Kang Seo-yoon said.
Even if no one dies from being bitten by a zombie, there are people who get injured for other reasons.
Naturally, injured people could not be placed in search groups until their physical condition improved, but people took advantage of this and returned with injuries on purpose.
They took special measures to gather such people separately and create an investigation team again, but now they are said to be suffering from a staff shortage as many people come back injured to the point where they cannot be forced to do so.
There aren’t enough men already.
“That’s why we’re trying to put women in exploration classes as well.”
Her manpower shortage was so severe that she was thinking of putting women in the search group as well.
It was clear that if this was announced, it would receive a positive response from men who were forced to sacrifice for women, and on the contrary, there would naturally be a huge backlash from women, who naturally had a large number of women.〈 Br〉
“…”
No matter how you look at it, it was a plan that seemed close to impossible.
In order for it to be possible, something must happen to change your mind.
With these thoughts in her mind, I looked at her with her eyes filled with questions like, “Do you think it’s possible?”
Just as I feared, Kang Seo-yoon also knew that she was more likely to fail, and she gently avoided her eyes, as if she wasn’t confident that she could properly convince the women with her face.
It’s an inevitable choice. Since the crisis hasn’t come yet, these selfish women are still busy taking care of themselves.
Knowing that, considering their physical differences and willpower, they were inefficient women who would only increase the number of patients if they were added to the search group, so despite the complaints of the men, they were excluded from the search group, but this actually became a drag.
If I was going to do it, I should have done it from the beginning.
“But I can’t help it. The world has become like this, and I can’t just be protected forever as a woman. It’s hard and scary, but I’m doing it.”
Kang Seo-yoon showed a firm will.
“You shouldn’t refuse because you can’t do it, you have to do it somehow.”
It’s a matter of survival, so you can’t just say you can’t do it.
Even if it seemed like it wouldn’t work, the only way to survive in this ruined world covered in zombies was to hit it first.
“Wha… ?!”
“…”
Knowingly or unknowingly, Seo-ah and Seung-i suffered a blow due to Kang Seo-yoon’s words.
These women lived comfortably and safely on my back, unaware that the world was doomed, but they were pricked for no reason by a story similar to Kang Seo-yoon’s appeal.
I wrapped my arms around the slender waists of the two women who responded cutely.
“I didn’t say anything to you, so don’t worry about it.”
Even in serious situations that require a woman’s help, women who are as pretty as these two women will make men sacrifice for them even if the situation is already at its worst.
This is the same for me, and I will never let these two women get blood on my hands.
So, I didn’t go through all the hardships alone.
Also… In my opinion, they are very unreliable and I am worried, so if I send them out and make them work for no reason, I will be so worried that I will not be able to move properly.
Anyway,
“It seems difficult for me to help you here.”
Even if you persuade, it will only work if Kang Seo-yoon does it.
She is the same woman, and she is the one who takes risks and goes on a quest.
“But if you ever need anything, call me. I will help you.”
It started to smell like people were living there, but I didn’t want to make a fuss for such a trivial reason.
That’s why she said that if you need help, open your hands comfortably and she walked with the two women with her.
