Chapter 238 – Failure
* * *
Meanwhile, Changjae’s hideout.
At the table where dinner was prepared, Seolryeong jumped up and shouted.
“It won’t work!” “I have to go find it after all!”
“She’s doing it again.”
Seunghee mutters as if she is frustrated.
I didn’t know how many times this conversation had already been repeated.
“It was like that yesterday, right? I’m going to go find it. But you came right away, right?”
“Still! Yesterday was and today is. And the atmosphere in Changjae was strange this morning. “I’m definitely going to do something dangerous today!”
It’s been a while since I prepared dinner and waited. Changjae’s favorite kimchi stew had been cold for a long time.
Even if she couldn’t wait any longer, she draped a shawl over her shoulders.
“I’ll go out alone. You are waiting.”
“Oh my. Sister, where are you going out for a drink? “What if I go out dressed like that and meet a hyena?”
“Laugh…”
Seol-ryeong, who has a fear of hyenas, froze at Seung-hee’s words.
It was just as Seunghee said. This was an outfit I was going to pick up at a local PC room because my son didn’t come home until late in the evening. It was like throwing her lunch box to a hyena that was wandering around like this on this island.
“Yeah, but… Changjae…”
“I said it’s okay. It came quickly yesterday too. It will come soon today too. “Nothing.”
“Boo…”
“Now, sit down, sister. Let’s eat by ourselves.”
Seunghee managed to coax Seolryeong into a seat.
However.
“Of course it won’t work!”
Even if you can’t wait even a minute and get up from your seat.
“Don’t stop me! “I will go and save Changjae even if it’s just me!”
This time, I was really ready to go.
Seunghee sighed deeply.
“Sister Kaylee. Catch it.”
Immediately, Kaylee started to grab the wings from behind Seolnyeong. It was as if the two of us had planned a plan in advance.
“Uh? Huh?”
Seolnyeong tried to free her arm from her grasp, but Kaylee wouldn’t budge.
“Muhuh.”
Seunghee approached Seolryeong.
With a sinister smile on his lips.
“Eight!”
“Aaaaah!”
Seunghee begins to tickle Seolryeong, who is holding both of her arms.
In particular, the defenseless exposed armpits and sides were the target of concentrated attacks.
“Kyahak! Ah! Seunghee, stop! “Aaaaah!”
“No. “If I let you go, you’re going to leave again, right?”
“No! I’m not going out! Haha! “I’m really not going out!?”
Seolryeong, who was weak to tickling, felt like she would faint from Seunghee’s attack. Moreover, with Kaylee holding on with such strong strength, she couldn’t be stopped.
“I’m not going out! I’m not going out… !”
Seolryeong was almost crying and begging Seunghee.
Only then did Seunghee stop tickling.
“Haha, haha, haha…”
“How are you? “You’re not going out now, are you?”
“I’m not going out…”
“If you try to leave again, I will tickle you twice as much.”
“Ugh…”
When Kaylee let go of her arm, Seol-ryeong sat down.
Seolryeong was exhausted and lost the strength to go out.
“Well… Changjae…”
I was resentful of myself for being weak and not being able to go out of the hideout alone.
Even so, she just prayed and prayed for her son’s safe return.

“Haha, haha, damn it!”
Hello. My name is Changjae Kang.
Now I am being chased by a Tyrannosaurus in real time.
It can be said to be a very thrilling and wonderful moment.
Can you hear those footsteps?
-Thud. Thud. Thud. Boom.
Fuck. Fucked.
This is not the time to joke around. It’s really messed up!
The sound of dinosaur footsteps pounding the ground got closer and closer.
It’s not just the sound of footsteps either. It was the sound of dinosaur footsteps that were very angry and were chasing me to kill me.
“Haha, haha, fuck! I! What, what!”
In fact, being chased is inevitable.
He broke four Tyrannosaurus eggs, stole the other one, and is running away.
Okay. Now there were dinosaur eggs rattling around in my backpack.
It might be better for my personal life to throw away this backpack right now.
“Fuck you!”
But that can’t be possible.
My goal is to make that damn Kushtappa chase me until he dies.
I ran without even caring about my face being scratched by tree branches.
Kushtapa was chasing after him, smashing all the trees and rocks that blocked his path. The chaser is pushing forward like a bulldozer, but will the chaser care about this? If you didn’t want to die, you had to shut up and run.
-Kooooong──!!
“Hey?!”
The roar of the Tyrannosaurus makes the air vibrate.
It’s not a cry from afar. Kushtapa had already followed a short distance away.
I was afraid to even look back.
I wanted to tell them to run at least one more step if there is a bird to turn around.
But I looked back. I had to look back.
My genes were telling me to turn around. That’s why I couldn’t bear it without looking back.
“Ah.”
Thanks to you, I got to see something I couldn’t see.
A monster of a size that humans cannot dare imagine.
It was chasing me with red bloodshot eyes and drooling.
And at a distance where it seems like we’ll catch up quickly.
“Keeeee-!!”
A voice like this comes out of my mouth?
But humans, when pushed into extreme situations, their true nature comes out. Maybe this is my true self. It was fortunate that no one else was watching.
Mother. My son is so weak.
──But what really should we do now?
It was really dangerous. Really.
It was a distance that would be caught up within a minute, no, just a few tens of seconds.
The sound of dinosaur footsteps was coming from right behind.
It seemed as if I could even hear Kushtappa’s heavy breathing.
I never thought a Tyrannosaurus could be this fast.
I could never reach my destination before I was caught up.
The operation was a failure.
There was no hope.
Unless a miracle happens.
Almighty. Fuck.
No. God, please!
-Kooooo──!
And.
A miracle happened.
-Cuckoooooung──!!
“Mom?!”
A heavy vibration that shakes the ground.
I kept running and looked back.
Kushtapa had fallen, kicking up dust.
“Uh? What?”
Did he stumble on something while chasing me?
As if to answer my question, something sparkling caught my eye on the thick hind feet of Kushtapa, who had fallen down.
It was a black axe.
The ax that had been entrusted to Cha In-cheol was stamped on one of Kushtapa’s ankles.
Kushtapa chased this far with that big ax stuck in his head, but eventually he couldn’t hold on and fell like that.
“Fuck you, Cha In-cheol!!”
Fuck! You did it! You fucking bastard!
“Sigh! Ah! Ah ha ha! Haha!”
I burst out laughing. I even felt like crying.
I ran and laughed until my lungs broke, and I cried.
Cha In-cheol did this. If I can’t accept this, I’m not even a man.
When I looked back, Kushtapa was rising again.
Those bright yellow eyes were still looking directly at me.
I will never miss it. I could feel that will in those eyes.
Okay. He only fell once. So I just bought some time.
There is still a long way to go to kill it.
“Catch it if you can, you idiot!!”
I kept running while shouting at Kushtapa.
The guy who fell once saw that and started running again, probably gaining strength again.
“Heh, heh, c, foot. Heh, heh.”
Ah. The sky is yellow.
How long do I have to run?
Tweet. Is it still far?
I’m really on the verge of collapsing now.
-Beepee──
“Ah.”
Come. Arrived.
I saw a swamp. I couldn’t be happier with this fishy smell.
“Hehe. Hehe. Hehe.”
I was on the verge of losing my breath.
My legs were so shaky that even walking was difficult.
It felt like my shoulders were being pressed down and stuck to the ground.
Still, I ran.
I had to go to the island and pick up the chainsaw I left behind.
And it had to end there.
“Hehe. Hehe. Hehe.”
-Thud. Thud. Thud. Boom.
I felt Kushtapa following right behind me.
Be near. Too close.
It’s scary to look back. There was really no time to look back now.
I ran on a creaky wooden bridge.
Just one more step. Just a little more. Just a little more.
1 minute to go. Run just one more minute, and you will reach the island.
Then, just sit in on the island.
Kushtapado to that island──
-Kukkwakwaaaaang──!!
My hopes were cruelly shattered with the wooden bridge falling to pieces.
Kushtappa, who had been chasing after me with only eyes on me, jumped into the wooden bridge I was crossing. Without even paying attention to whether there was a swamp ahead.
“Ah.”
My body rose in the air.
The impact of Kushtapa’s large body jumping into the wooden bridge shattered it and my body was thrown out by the recoil.
And I only realized that fact when I was falling.
-Fondant.
Uh.
Where am I?
My head hurts.
It looks like it hit something when it fell.
It’s more suffocating than that.
Where am I?
I have to leave quickly.
I’m short of breath.
That’s probably because I kept running.
Then you have to breathe──
“Kurup!?”
When I tried to breathe, something that was neither water nor dirt was sucked into my nose and mouth.
I immediately held my breath, but I could not spit out the foreign matter that had already entered.
It’s a swamp.
Now I’m in a swamp.
I had to hold my breath.
However, the foreign matter stuck in my airway was bothering me.
“Gurgling. Gurgling…”
Ah.
This is wrong.
Die.
It sinks.
I felt the swamp in which my body was submerged shaking.
A loud crying sound can be heard from above the water.
It felt distant, like I was hearing it in a dream, but I could clearly see it.
The fact that Kushtapa is struggling in a swamp.
You are in the same situation as me.
It looks good. Haha.
“Mom.”
Mom.
Mom, mom, mom.
… I don’t want to die.
We’re all there now.
I promised my mom that I would go back.
“Changjae. Take it out and eat it when you’re hungry.”
“No way. “I don’t need it.”
“Don’t do that. Just take this one with you.”
Mom packed snacks in my biscuit bag again today.
But there was already something else in that biscuit bag.
“Oh. “What is this?”
“Oh, this? This is something I prepared in case of an emergency──”
“Puh haha-!!”
-Beep! Beep! Beep!
“Uuuuuweeeeek. Cluck, cluck, cluck! Wow!”
I could see the sky.
Not even a single bird spinning dizzyingly.
That… Is it a tweet?
It is a harmful bird.
“Keueuweegeng.”
Lived…
Vomiting out the swamp waste that entered the body.
I felt that I had survived.
