Episode 478
Jeong In-ho said, still smiling.
“If it wasn’t for the detective, I would have been worried because I couldn’t figure out where the other survivors were…”
Thanks to Hong Gyeong-jun quickly going to Eunhak High School and contacting them, the survivors were able to roughly know where each other was and what the situation was. done.
Among the survivors, those in the worst situation were the aquarium team.
Two kindergarteners, two high school students, a serial killer, and even Lee Jae-heon, who doesn’t care for himself. I couldn’t help but be worried since I was putting vulnerable children and a murderer on the same team. Lee Jae-heon, who can even control Song In-myeong, said he was located in the very back of the aquarium.
“Even if the worst has been avoided, that doesn’t mean I’m not worried.”
“That’s true…”
Woo Joo-young agreed with Jung In-ho’s words.
There is no way Woo Joo-young would know the ‘worst’ he was talking about, but at least he was able to determine the location and condition of the survivors early on, so it was definitely not the worst. Even taking that into account, the aquarium team’s situation is uneasy.
“for now.”
In a strange sense of anxiety, Seo Jang-hwa opened his mouth.
“Let’s save ourselves first. Although it is an advantageous situation compared to other survivors because it is a familiar place with familiar team members, there is no way to know what will happen since this is the other side of the world. “I don’t know when I’ll hear from the detective again, but we also need to create a safe shelter and prepare to hold out in the park.”
“I agree with the boots. I think it would be better for us to first ensure their safety before worrying about other survivors. “We have to prepare the fire before it gets completely dark.”
Vivian’s words following Seo Jang-hwa. Jeong In-ho, who considered the words of the two students valid, nodded with a serious expression.
There was no way we could help by worrying about survivors elsewhere when safety here was not guaranteed.
If even one of them died to save him, In-ho Jeong had to turn back time. The students were right in saying that they should solve the problem first because it is quite a hassle and drains their mental power.
“Let’s move towards the pavilion we stopped by before. Although it is far from the water source, something like a green algae monster may emerge from that water source in the first place… Even if it is a little less accessible to places to get water or food, it would be better to choose a place that is as safe as possible for a shelter.”
“Still, I’m glad I don’t have to see anyone come to the convenience store bleeding like the last school. “I still don’t understand why there are edible fruits growing in the park, but…”
Yoon Garam, who was quietly looking at the park after hearing Woo Soo-young’s words, asked.
“So, Jooyoung, was this your first time at the park?”
“yes? Ah, that’s right. I am the second team member to join. “I never imagined that the park I used to walk in sometimes when I felt bloated could turn into a jungle like this.”
“It will be much safer than Eonhak High School. “There are no rules, there is plenty of water and fruit, and you only have to deal with the monsters you encounter occasionally.”
“It’s really survival. It’s nature itself.”
Jeong In-ho, who was leading the way, called Yoon Gar-ram.
“If it’s okay, boss…”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Woo Woo-young asked as Yoon Garam stepped forward as if it had been a long time.
“…Why Mr. Garam?”
“President Yoon is often avoided by plant-type monsters, and above all, he knows the paths of this park well. “When I first came to the park, I received a lot of help from President Yoon.”
“yes?”
Woo Woo-young asked back as if he found it difficult to understand.
“You know the way well? “The park has changed so much?”
“haha.”
“Mr. Inho? “Don’t laugh like it’s annoying…”
Kang Min-ah patted Woo Woo-young on the shoulder.
“manager.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Don’t try to understand.”
“….”
“It’s easier if you accept it.”
Noh Yeon-seok, who was standing next to Kang Min-ah, also added.
“It’s okay because Boss Yoon is like a half-breed plant monster.”
“…What are these people saying now? “Are they crazy?”
“We just have to trust the boss.”
“How did this really happen?”
Looking at the company, they couldn’t have been more kind and sincere employees, but when they got involved in the behind-the-scenes world, it seemed like all the survivors were losing their screws one by one. Woo Woo-young wasn’t sure if this was their nature or an influence from the underworld.
Garam Yoon, who was standing at the front and looking for the way, looked at Woo Wooyoung and said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find the way.”
“That’s not the problem…”
The words ‘now these people are treating you as a mysterious plant-type monster hybrid’ came back into my throat.
I’m sure Yoon Garam must have heard it all, but doesn’t he look so proud on his face? Woo Woo-young could hardly understand the sensibilities of the survivors.
“I really should join hands with these people sometime and visit a counseling center.”
Seo Jang-hwa nodded at Woo Woo-young’s muttering.
“I agree.”
“I am so thankful that it brings tears to my eyes that there is someone who agrees with me.”
“Nothing much to say… We’re not crazy, but these people are definitely crazy.”
“Thank you again for speaking clearly and clearly.”
Woo Woo-young muttered in despair and looked up at the sky.
“…There’s really no place here that doesn’t make you feel angry.”
Eye-aching light like fluorescent light creeps in through the gaps between the lush trees.
I don’t know why, but Woo Soo-young thought it was a fake light.
Aren’t there some things that don’t really glow, but are particularly clean white so it feels like they are emitting light? Paper in the office, white tiles in the bathroom, things like that.
However, most of those things flash by reflecting light coming from somewhere. So where on earth does the light that stings Woo Woo-young’s eyes come from?
‘There’s no sun here.’
Where does that pure white sky come from?
Woo Woo-young suddenly felt that he was standing on a vast, white sheet of paper. Or trapped below. In A4 paper, large drawing paper, or manuscript paper with tightly organized cells…
“Team leader.”
“….”
“Don’t look at it for too long.”
Jeong In-ho, who was walking ahead, looked at Woo Joo-young and smiled.
A sincere and neat smile.
“It hurts my eyes.”
“…is it so.”
There were times when Woo Joo-young didn’t feel like Jung In-ho was human.
To be honest, it was a bit much.
Even before he knew anything about the behind-the-scenes world, didn’t Jung In-ho subtly display a strange eerieness that seemed to have fabricated even a trace of his humanity?
At least the patheticness he showed when dealing with the old manager Lee Jae-heon was the only true humanity he had….
“….”
“…Team leader?”
“Why are there only people like this around me?”
“Why do you say such sad things?”
“That’s enough, let’s just look ahead.”
Woo Woo-young smiled bitterly. When I thought about it, it occurred to me that the old manager Lee Jae-heon was also all acting.
Although he thought he was having a fairly peaceful work life, even if it wasn’t very fulfilling, the fact that it was all nonsense made Woo Woo-young’s heart suddenly break.
My sincere co-worker was a crazy person, the manager who I thought was a chihuahua-like old man was a crazy person, and in my country, which I thought was a state of security, the crazy people were doing bloody things.
‘But that doesn’t mean they’re bad people.’
That was the reason why Woo Joo-young sighed.
A person who lacks something and does not understand becomes an object of fear. The other side of the world was like that to Woo Joo-young, and the survivors of the other side of the world were like that. Not only Jung In-ho but also Lee Jae-heon.
However, it was clear that they were always working hard for all survivors.
There was no need to hope for more than that. Among the cockroach-swarming humans on earth, not a single one is exactly the same, so wouldn’t it be strange to hope that co-workers you meet by chance would have the same sensitivity as Woo Joo-young?
She knew that my companions were good people.
“…Mina, are you okay? “It must be difficult to walk on a floor like this with those high-heeled shoes.”
“It hurts a little, but not so much that I can’t bear it. “After arriving at the pavilion and unpacking, I plan to find abandoned shoes or make new ones.”
“I will help you too.”
Woo Woo-young turned his gaze from looking around the park to his companions.
Inho Jeong is right. There was no reason to look at the sky that was not going to help them. It was a truly useless sky that only hurt my eyes and disturbed my heart. Rather than observing such shameful things, it is a hundred or a thousand times better to see my colleagues who are my strong allies.
Noh Yeon-seok seemed to have been stimulated by Woo Woo-young’s words and spoke up.
“How about my shoes? “The shoes are not dirty because I just washed them the day before.”
“Oh our Yeonseok. “Did you wash your shoes because you were on a date?”
“Oh no… no, don’t keep teasing me…”
“No matter how blinded you are by love, are you still wary of the team leader? It’s grown a lot. It’s grown a lot. “It makes the team leader feel sad to be treated like this because I was talking to the lovely Min-ah, Yeon-seok.”
“Why do you keep teasing me…!”
I couldn’t help it. This is because Noh Yeon-seok is a rare talent whose teasing reactions are delicious. It was a time when Woo Joo-young was trying to shake off his disturbed mind and chat with his companions.
“…Wait.”
“…?”
As Kang Min-ah silently wondered at the fact that Jung In-ho had stopped the group with his hand, Seo Jang-hwa, who narrowed his eyes, also glanced ahead as if he had noticed something.
“The sound of something approaching…”
The sound of something small coming through the bushes.
Vivian, who was listening to the sound with Seo Jang-hwa, let out an exclamation of ‘Ah’ at what came out right away.
“There was this guy.”
What came out of the bushes was none other than a monster abandoned dog.
A dog-shaped monster made of colorful fabric, with several openings, and shiny plastic eyes.
It was strangely kinky and had something that lowered the survivors’ mental strength just by looking at it.
“….”
“…Hmm….”
But now there was an ambiguous corner to be wary of him.
“Now, for those of you who aren’t confident in your own mental abilities, look away…”
“Oh, I’m glad to see you too, but I can’t help it.”
“This is just the beginning, so you need to conserve your mental strength. Everyone except the team leader turns a blind eye. Turn it. Anyway, nothing good comes from making eye contact.”
Jeong In-ho was accustomed to organizing the situation and taking care of the survivors. Woo Woo-young covered his eyes with his hands, making jokes about Pompitz, an abandoned dog monster that often appeared during the attack on Eonhak High School.
Meanwhile, Vivian thought to herself.
‘…I feel cleaner than before, but is it because of my mood?’
In any case, Vivian, who had covered Seo Jang-hwa’s eyes instead of Seo Jang-hwa, who had not yet fully grasped the situation, also looked away.
Until then, Pompitz was just waiting obediently.
“At this point, it’s almost like a monster born from my mind.”
“In reality, it’s like a dog raised in the yard.”
Jeong In-ho, who was responding to Yoon Garam’s words, continued in a self-mocking voice.
“The owner is not actually here.”
How can you make people so anxious just because you can’t see them?
A person named Lee Jae-heon also had a truly terrible side.
* * *
Lee Jae-heon suddenly became a terrible person.
“I guess I should go in there again.”
“It looks like there is no separate entrance. “I think I’ll have to climb up to the ceiling and break it in, or go through a process that follows the rules of this aquarium.”
“For now, let’s proceed with both in mind.”
He was trying to figure out a way to get into the mermaids’ tank with Jung Eun-woo.
conclusion. Jaeheon Lee was a terrible person.
