Chapter 192 – 192. Ordinary Survivors Flock Again. [Intermediate Inspection to Deal With the Main Zombie Wave][1]
“I came because I have something to say, Mancheol…”
At the front of the group of ordinary survivors stood Kim Seong-il, whom Kim Tae-sik had saved in the past.
“…”
Kim Tae-sik looked at Kim Seong-il and the ordinary survivors standing behind him in silence.
“No, I don’t know what’s going on over there…”
The Daeseong-gu survival camp was going very well after Kim Tae-sik’s crazy dog incident.
Jang Man-cheol responded cautiously to his puzzled feelings.
“Mancheol, wait a minute… Let’s listen…”
At that moment, Kim Tae-sik, who was a couple of steps behind Jang Man-cheol, spoke to him in a low voice.
“We too… Want to participate in this battle, Mancheol.”
Afterwards, the words that came out of the mouth of Kim Seong-il, who was the representative of the gathered crowd, were unexpected words.
“Yes?”
Because the words were so unexpected, Jang Man-cheol looked puzzled for a moment.
“Literally, Mancheol. “What we’re saying is that we want to do our part to stop the zombie wave that is coming.”
“I completely understand your intention to evacuate most of the survivors to a shelter, but no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it fits the current situation.”
In response to Jang Man-cheol, Kim Seong-il confirmed their intention with clear tone and words.
They turned around while preparing to enter the shelter.
“Honestly, I won’t deny it, Mancheol… The situation with the Skeletons… I was very scared… Even now, when I think about that situation, I still feel scared… Even when I’m sleeping, I remember the time when a crossbow arrow was stuck in my leg. “I jumped up and my hands were shaking…”
“But what we have to deal with now are zombies. “I think at least I can fight and escape that fear.”
“Of course, you could be said to be cowardly in choosing your opponent, but I want to be helpful at least in that way.”
Kim Seong-il spoke as if making a confession.
In the early days of the apocalypse, the monstrous appearance of zombies fed on the fear of survivors.
However, after the beginning, the madness of the same people,
And the clever psychological warfare that took place between them grew and fed on the fears of those who remained.
That is the reason why the Daeseong-gu Survival Camp, which had been going normally, was shaken.
“Okay…”
Nod…! Nod…! Nod…! Nod…!
Jang Man-cheol, who heard Kim Seong-il’s confession, nodded his head thoughtfully with a very thoughtful expression.
“You can do that, uncle. I think it’s completely normal. In some ways, I may not have been able to sufficiently understand your situation just because I am an awakened person. “It may be late, but I still want to say I’m sorry.”
Nodding…!
For a moment, Jang Man-cheol remembered what Kim Tae-sik had said before going to attack the Skeletons: that killing zombies and committing murder are different.
And when he thought about it backwards, he realized that as a so-called leader, he did not fully understand it compared to Kim Tae-sik.
Accordingly, he bowed his head and apologized to the general survivors of the Daeseong-gu survival camp gathered in front of him.
“No no! That’s not true… You’ve always done your best for us. As I already said, we were cowards. I want to do my best as a member this time too. So give us a chance to fight.”
“Yes, that’s right! Mancheol, you always did your best! That’s why we’ve been following you until now!”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
The ordinary survivors waved their hands at Jang Man-cheol’s apology and instead gave strength to Jang Man-cheol.
I’m crying…!
United appearance,
Jang Man-cheol was filled with emotions when he saw the Daeseong-gu Survival Center.
“First of all, I think the front line will have to be continued by those who have been working together so far. “There are some sections where barricade construction has not yet been completed.”
“I think you could help me there.”
“Junho, are there any sections where you are confident right now? If we put them in there, I think we can finish the job before they arrive. “I’ll stop by later and help you.”
“Your brother! Everyone, please follow me!”
Then Kim Tae-sik stepped in and finished the conversation.
“Leave it to me, warrior!!! Even after all this, the experience of hard work is considerable!!!”
“Junho, let’s go! “I heard the zombie wave is not far away!!”
The ordinary survivors showed great fighting spirit and followed Kim Jun-ho.
“This gives us a reason to fight even harder?”
Chin…!
“That’s right, brother… I feel really good, but my sense of responsibility is even greater…”
Nod… Nod… Nod… Nod…
Kim Tae-sik placed his hand on Jang Man-cheol’s shoulder as he looked at the ordinary survivors following Kim Jun-ho.
Jang Man-cheol, who was moved by their appearance, nodded his head appreciatively.
Jang Man-cheol wanted to give hope to this Daeseong-gu survival camp, which had become his identity.
However, the last time I saw that it was an illusion, I was disappointed and despaired.
Then, it is a hope that blooms before a big battle.
But hope without responsibility is just a delusion.
Jang Man-cheol developed a desire to save the lives of those people who were filled with hope as much as possible.
Jang Man-cheol, the leader of the community, deeply felt this principle.

“Is that true Alfredo? “A quite noticeable change has been detected in the foundation?”
A space that looks like a secret underground passage,
A pale-faced man with white hair spoke to Alfredo with wide eyes.
“No, Antonio… How did you hear that?”
The man’s name was Antonio.
Alfredo, who was sipping coffee, answered with a surprised face.
It may have been quite a secret, but unlike his surprised expression and gesture, his voice seemed like he was whispering with an eye on me.
“No matter how crazy I am now, isn’t it even weirder that someone as young as me doesn’t know?”
Then Antonio reacted with a very displeased expression.
The expression on his face seemed to be as if he was ignoring me.
“Oh my… What I mean is that our governor is treating us with caution, Mr. Antonio haha…!”
Alfredo, who had a poor understanding of the scene but had great political acumen, immediately caught Antonio’s feelings.
So he tried to avoid the situation by making a sly expression.
“Anyway, are you sure you were captured?”
Antonio asked Alfredo again with a murderous expression.
“It is clear that there has been a change… I am looking at it positively… But the final conclusion will be made after the zombie wave is over…”
Alfredo whispered in Antonio’s ear with a methodical expression and tone that said, “I’m only talking to you.”
“I see… I’m sure I wasn’t doing anything in vain…”
Fly… Fly…
Antonio, who heard Alfredo’s words, flicked his long tongue and his eyes flashed.
“Then, in times like these, we need to leave footprints and leave a legacy.”
Stroke!
Then he turned around, baring his bestial fangs.
“No, what… You’re not trying to act alone, are you…?”
Alfredo, who noticed that Antonio was trying to act alone,
He teased his snout to make the case that he had nothing to do with the solo action.
“You too, stand straight in line, Alfredo. “Stop fucking farting at the Earthlings.”
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Antonio scolded Alfredo in a harsh voice and turned around and walked away.
“What do you mean, Mr. Antonio… I’m doing it for the greater good…”
“Fuck you!”
Antonio responded to Alfredo, who was talking bullshit, with the swear words he had learned on Earth.
“Ah, so vulgar… Fuck you, you bastard…”
Alfredo muttered quietly to himself as he watched Antonio disappear into the darkness.

“Oh… The number of awakened people has increased…?”
Kim Tae-sik, who visited Kang Seok-gu’s gang’s workshop, looked around and stuck out his tongue.
This is because the number of people who can feel the awakened mana has increased.
The number increased by approximately 5 people.
“The outlaw gang next door that I had formed an alliance with went bankrupt, so things were in jeopardy, but when this side collapses, the other side collapses as well. After that, that head flew away. That’s why I came with the Awakened kids and some regular members. “They are all kids who were close to Hyunjun.”
“Considering that the situation has turned out this way, I don’t know if it would have been better.”
Kang Seok-gu said while looking at the work situation with his arms crossed.
“But what are the kids’ personalities like…?”
Since they were former outlaws, Kim Tae-sik thought that outlaw gangs were being created in Taewang Metropolitan City again.
“At least they were normal kids there. “In the first place, I didn’t want anything to do with them anymore, so I just accepted them, skipping all the others.”
Kang Seok-gu answered immediately as if he knew that reaction would come.
“Aha…!”
If you want to become an outlaw, the number of awakened people, which can be considered firepower, is important, but the number of people who can show off their power is also important.
Since Kim Tae-sik was fully aware of this, I thought that Kang Seok-gu’s words were quite trustworthy in that he was selected.
“Then, since there are so many awakened people here, there is no need for me to come separately for support. “I guess I can come when mutant zombies appear.”
Kim Tae-sik looked around the barricade work situation once again and said.
“Wow… I’m feeling traumatized looking at the picture of the mutant zombie with its head smashed… If you hadn’t gotten out of the way at that time, I would have been a fool…”
Absolutely… Absolutely… Absolutely… Absolutely…
Kang Seok-gu clicked his tongue while looking at the mutant zombie data delivered by Kim Tae-sik.
“And the reason I asked you to come wasn’t something else.”
Then he looked ahead and said:
“I called you to take him with you when you go back. I’m a supporter awakener. “My name is Jeongmi. Yoon Jeongmi.”
He then pointed to a female awakener who was working.
“Huh? Supporters are precious. Don’t you all need awakened supporters too?”
Kim Tae-sik looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“We have one more person. Since the number of heads is overwhelmingly high, we will need more Supporter Awakenings.”
“And… I’m a young girl, so I think Daeseong-gu Survival Camp would be better than a place like this.”
In response to Kim Tae-sik’s reaction, Kang Seok-gu said, puffing on his cigarette.
‘Aha… I guess I thought of my younger sister. Looking at that friend…’
Kim Tae-sik unintentionally saw Kang Seok-gu smoking a cigarette several times whenever he told a bitter story.
So, I was able to understand Kang Seok-gu’s intention to send Yoon Jeong-mi to Daeseong-gu survival camp.
“Okay! “Thank you to Daeseong-gu, but the number of participants increased, so we needed to recruit more medical personnel.”
“I’ll call Mancheol right away.”
Thus, Kim Tae-sik coolly accepted Kang Seok-gu’s proposal.
“Mancheol is not a nobleman either. He got a call right away.”
At that moment, I received a call from Jang Man-cheol.
“Oh Mancheol! “The story is going well here.”
Taesik Kim answered the phone right away.
“Okay? Okay, bro, I’ll go now.”
Kim Tae-sik’s eyes sparkled as he spoke on the phone.
“What?”
Kang Seok-gu, who felt the air current, exhaled cigarette smoke and asked.
“Near Taewang Metropolitan City…”
Sigh…
Kim Tae-sik finished talking with Jang Man-cheol and put the phone in his pants pocket.
“The zombie wave has arrived…?”
Shooooo!
I summoned an awakening iron pipe.
