Chapter 273 – 273. Unexpected Reward. [Kang Mina][2]
“Why! Why are you saying you can’t come? “If you feel burdened by fighting through zombies, I’ll go, right Kim Min-jeong?”
Early days of apocalypse,
After Kang Mi-na confirmed that she was a Hidden Awakening, she worked hard to create her survival camp.
As a result of her efforts, she secured a fairly large survival camp site and later had the ability to take care of those around her.
So, we searched for survivors among her acquaintances and were able to find out the whereabouts of Peach Kim Min-jung.
Kim Min-jung tried to bring her to her own camp, but her husband refused.
“What… Isn’t this the voice of a red-haired devil? “This person is showing his emotions and getting angry like this?”
“That’s right, it’s the old lady.”
Her twins, Kwon Chang-min and Kwon Chang-man, were smoking a cigarette.
Her ears perked up at the sound of Kang Mi Na’s voice.
The place where Kang Mina was making her phone call was in a corner of the camp site.
And the twins were hiding on the roof of a shabby building in the corner, smoking cigarettes.
Kang Mina was full of charisma and her discipline was strict as she had to strengthen her camp in the early days of the Asari version of Apocalypse.
The 20-year-old free-spirited twins Kwon Chang-min and Kwon Chang-man were quite dissatisfied, as they had confessed to Kim Tae-sik.
So at that time, they called Kang Mina her red-haired devil grandmother.
“Hmm… Still, he looks like a human when he shows his emotions like that… He looks like a butcher without blood or tears…”
Peep…!
She was a very cool-headed sibling who loved to play and get along, so in the early days when each was strong, they were the opposite of opposites.
However, when they heard her voice full of frustration, Kwon Chang-min and Kwon Chang-man were curious and stuck their heads in.
“What? It’s true?”
Kang Mina, who was frustrated, widened her eyes at Kim Min-jung’s next words.
“Yeah… She was out doing volunteer work when the apocalypse happened… So she’s stuck with the orphanage kids.”
Minjeong Kim and Mina Kang are friends from the same university.
Mina Kang is in the Department of Social and Physical Education, and Minjeong Kim is in the Department of Early Childhood Education.
In Minjeong Kim’s case, she was doing volunteer work at an orphanage even before she entered college.
“Ha… I was turning my phone off periodically. Was that why?”
Kang Mina sighed softly.
The two became quite close friends, but their friendship did not last very long.
This is because, as a sophomore, she became close with him while taking a liberal arts class.
Therefore, Kim Min-jung did not know that she was doing volunteer work on a regular basis.
Minjeong Kim didn’t want to show off, so she turned off her cell phone when doing her volunteer work.
“Then how, is it a daycare center? “Is she stuck in an orphanage?”
Kang Mina soon asked about the specific situation.
“It’s not a daycare. It was a situation where the kids wanted to go on an outing, so we went out together. This is a warehouse near the supermarket. I found out later that the orphanage had already been destroyed. That’s why I’m holding on here.”
“At least it was possible because I became an awakened person.”
Kim Min-jeong looked around slightly.
Inside her warehouse, some of the food she had brought was piled up, and some children were seen sleeping on some bedding.
“Then I guess I’ll have to go further. “Because they are orphanage children, there is no way their father and mother will come to rescue them, so you and the children should be brought here.”
Because she was Kim Min-jung, who was so stern, Kang Mina wondered if she was in an orphanage.
Still, it is a possible guess because public facilities in District PH-1 had excellent security.
However, it felt like the reason Kim Min-jung refused to be rescued even though it wasn’t because he was an awakened person was that he judged it that way.
“No… It’s too far… You know what it’s like out there right now. Survival camps in each area are all barricaded, and it is impossible to predict what will happen if someone from outside comes in…”
“So it’s too dangerous for you to come to the rescue. “No matter how worried I am about these children’s situation, I can’t make you take that kind of risk, Mina…”
However, Kim Min-jung’s choice was out of consideration for her friend, who was worried about her life or death in this apocalypse.
As she was working hard outside to take care of her children, Kim Min-jung knew very well how bloody the streets of Seoul were during the anarchy.
I couldn’t let my dear friend traverse that chaos.
Wow…!
Kang Mi-na squeezed her hand.
‘I hate being powerless… I have now become an adult who does not need to worry about anyone… Moreover, now that I have become an awakened person, I worry about others like this…’
It was Kim Min-jung’s friendship for Kang Mina that was so deep and profound.
When it seemed like she couldn’t keep that friendship, Kang Mi-na felt resentful.
Her mother, who ran away from her and her older brother Kang Seok-gu when she was young.
The father who abused them by drinking and making a fuss,
What young Kang Mina felt was helplessness.
Even if you want to live properly, if you do not have the strength to do so, you feel helpless and have no choice but to be swayed by the circumstances around you.
I became independent early to shake off that.
Even in an apocalypse situation, we worked hard to establish a survival camp.
However, Kang Mi-na was really angry that she could not protect the person who cared for her so much by her side.
“I can guess what area it is based on the distance. Minjeong, right? I’m going to go right now and search the entire area. You know that I have a shitty personality. “The people in my family had that kind of personality, and I guess I’m that kind of bitch too.”
“You don’t have to tell me, I will find it. “I will find you and protect you and the children there.”
So Kang Mi-na declared war on her.
Where is the camp now?
Based on that location, Minjeong Kim calculated the distance calculated through her words.
And an area with childcare within that distance,
Kang Mina was able to quickly select areas worth going on an outing.
“Hmm… This is difficult…?”
Although she had an old-fashioned personality, Kang Mina had a strong sense of responsibility.
She also doesn’t like causing trouble.
Her tendency was almost like herbiosis, so even though she would help someone, she would not accept help.
Because she hated feeling helpless, her life motto of trying to prove that she could do well on her own deepened.
So she informed the camp in advance that she would have to go on an expedition.
Then, Wang Deok-cheol, who had been in a camp executive level position since the beginning, folded his arms and tilted his head.
“The camp site has grown, so there are a lot of places to manage… Moreover, it is the time when competition between camps begins…”
“But sending combat-capable personnel on an expedition? “This is a bit…”
Wang Deok-cheol showed off his unique socializing skills and had a significant number of campers forming his own line.
But Wang Deok-cheol saw it.
Kang Mina is not very good at handling her people, but after fighting her battles with her, she becomes a addict and her own efforts go to waste.
That’s why I zealously refused to be selected.
“I know. So I’m thinking of going alone. However, I am leaving my seat as a member, and I am telling you in advance because I will need space when people from there are brought in.”
In the case of Kang Mina, her temperament was amazing, but she was also a naive friend.
For that reason, she interpreted King Deokcheol’s words exactly.
“If the number suddenly increases that much, we will run out of food immediately…”
On the other hand, in the case of Wang Deok-cheol, he is the type that is quite easy-going.
Mentioning the lack of food, he tried to grab the hilt of Kang Mina’s sword by putting pressure on her in case she might succeed in the mission.
“It’s not like we didn’t consider that at all, but there are still supporter awakeners in that group. “Aren’t we in trouble because we don’t have any awakened supporters right now?”
However, Kang Mi-na, who does not like being dependent on others, had already secured sufficient justification.
“Oh my~~ There is a support awakener? Then we should hurry and bring him! “Maybe we should at least set up a treatment center in advance?”
“Well… I see… I’m glad you’re a support awakened person…”
The cause really fit the bill.
Another camper next to Wang Deok-cheol, who had a somewhat disapproving expression on his face, exclaimed with an expression that asked, “What kind of windfall is this?”
As a result, Wang Deok-cheol also suddenly changed his expression and sent a positive signal.
Suuuuu…! Suuuuu…!
Nevertheless, Kang Mina insisted on going on an expedition alone.
She was about to head out of camp when she was last seen doing a status window check.
From behind her
“Grandma witch, no, older sister Mina! “Let’s go together.”
The voice of my twin brother, Kwon Chang-man, was heard.
Sigh…!
Kang Mina turned her body toward where her voice was coming from.
“Let’s go together~~ There’s nothing to do at camp right now anyway~”
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
There, armed twins were walking towards Kang Mina.
At that time, they were not on good terms with Kang Mi-na, but they were also on good terms with Jang Deok-cheol’s gang.
“I see.”
ㅡStroke!
Her bully was Kang Mi-na, who was punished because of her older brother, Kang Seok-gu, so even in this situation, she hit an iron wall.
“As expected, it’s cool~~”
“But when we cooperate, we cooperate properly~”
But for some reason, the twins didn’t care at all and sat next to her.
**********
“My brother and I both went to an orphanage. It’s not necessarily because of that, but I think that’s why I had a sense of victimization. “To Mina noona, who is an iron wall.”
“But you seem to be willing to go to great lengths to save the orphanage children. “It just went away.”
From the perspective of her twins, who were from her orphanage, Kang Mina, whom they happened to witness, was like a trustworthy angel.
This is because she was a clear contrast to the parents who abandoned them.
“I see…”
Nod…! Nod…! Nod…! Nod…!
Kim Tae-sik, who was listening to Kwon Chang-man, nodded his head appreciatively.
If you think about it, it’s not that long of a time,
I understood why the growling twins quickly swore loyalty.
“I did it because you guys are good people too. From my own experience, just because I grew up in such an environment doesn’t mean I have unconditionally warm feelings toward people who were in the same environment.”
Kim Tae-sik praised the twins for supporting Kang Mina’s actions.
Haha! Anyway, it wasn’t just us who went crazy! We really did our part on that expedition. Be loyal! That’s why my sister started trusting us too!”
“That was the basis, so when the camps split, we chose my sister. “After two more support awakeners appeared, Jang Deok-cheon showed his teeth to chase the children away.”
“I was going to soak that damn bastard, but Mina stopped me because she was worried that a war would break out inside.”
Then Kwon Chang-man joked and boasted about their loyalty and competence.
“You’re that kind of sister, so don’t feel guilty. “My sister will be happy that my brother is safe and that our camp is safe.”
However, his jokes were ultimately meant to ease Kim Tae-sik’s burden.
“Okay, I’ll do my best too.”
Taesik Kim responded to those words with a bright smile.
“Taesik oppa~ I’m sorry, but I think I need to take care of those kids, right? “Can you please bring me some porridge, Mina?”
And it didn’t end with words.
“Okay, Minjeong~”
ㅡDa-da-da-da-da-da-da!!
In just one day, he became a member of the passing camp. Kim Tae-sik, who was busy working at the camp, quickly walked towards Kang Mina’s room holding a bowl full of porridge.
“Mina, let’s eat porridge…!”
Squeak…!
Kim Tae-sik carefully opened the door and came in.
Those who work hard are rewarded accordingly.
“Hmm… Why don’t you knock…”
Kim Tae-sik got to see Kang Mi-na’s amazing breasts while she was trying to change her bandage on her own.
