“No lights?”efa4c6009be4fe62

Yoo-yeon asked, her voice laced with concern. While some light streamed in from the open entrance, it wasn’t enough to properly inspect the interior. The inside windows, mostly covered with various objects, were stained black, allowing only faint, hazy light to filter through. He nervously pressed the switch a few more times, then gave up completely and turned around.5242463268c02aa4

“Well, can’t be helped, I guess. Seems like a power issue, but we can’t fix that. For now, let’s just turn this on and go.”a877ed300401d334

He switched 8b9e30c275 on the 3de0e1f654 tactical light cf527540f4 attached to 9025b78ea4 his gun, fcff3571d6 illuminating the 4826a66bc7 inside. As the cold c186731c1e light cut through 8ab1e59712 the darkness, parts 8dd526d6eb of the interior, 9bd67e2245 previously just shadows, 4c71f9f2e1 started to reveal 3ef430e01a themselves. It looked like de585bd86e a storage area, a4e00c1ced with various items 328eb90cd4 piled high and 67aca0679d messy, limiting their 9b9b486a08 vision as if 81e981af24 they were in 17aa61363d a library with b8e79d864b overgrown bookshelves. The fear of ad03beb265 something popping out 83155d31a4 at any moment, 0e7d7593d1 from anywhere, psychologically 97a2b50bf4 intimidated her.19a08ac690fb852f

Ryung, as if ee34fc721c it were obvious, 74f1e592b9 put her behind 2542cad619 him and moved c992d3ca69 forward. Yoo-yeon frowned at 0c2fda3a54 his receding back. He was 00df1c3b86 treating Yoo-yeon 579fd9da20 like a 612a83de9c woman, not 4b2bddff71 a superior 48d1eb2579 officer from 38db797c57 the same 03b3640130 unit.

You shouldn’t rely on people you need to protect; affection clouds judgment and will always become a burden eventually. The desire not to be a burden easily overcame her fear.4e3aa0b1037a42b7

The scene illuminated 1b41536d68 by the thin eafc7fcc3a beam of light cbf9b4d73f resembled the trash b4f54708c1 heaps outside.

Yoo-yeon crouched down to examine the corpse’s state of decay. Its entire body was bloated and covered in flies, suggesting it had been dead for about 3-4 days. And for some reason, it wasn’t wearing any clothes. As she carefully scanned the corpse, illuminating various spots with her light, she spotted a shining ring on its finger and tilted her head. Had she seen a similar design somewhere? It looked strangely familiar.c0127cc196f4fdfe

While Yoo-yeon was distracted, he found a bite mark on the other arm. It was rare for a human to bite another human, so it must have been a zombie. That deepened the mystery. Why didn’t this person turn into a zombie, and just died?19b31b1b732935dd

According to research 7885644939 results so far, 89750c26cd the only way bc9f43adf0 to get infected 1f81363bf9 was by being c9bc2aa8d5 bitten by a 9244cda1b6 zombie, or more f7d3c17eb8 precisely, when a 1a6601fd94 special fluid secreted 774d35204e from behind their f8a96a3047 teeth entered the 3bf57bd2a1 skin.791228432b898647

The zombie virus, as explained by current medical science, was akin to a neurological disorder like rabies. Of course, that couldn’t explain why zombies were stronger than humans, why their injuries healed quickly, or why they didn’t die naturally. The infected, or zombie virus, was still an unfamiliar disease to humanity, and an unknown territory where exceptions could appear at any time.5e30837ae931fc07

Yoo-yeon brushed herself off without hesitation. Even with her urging to go, Ryung was still staring intently at the corpse. It shouldn’t be surprising to him, as he saw corpses every day.dcc1bed5c7591de4

“Looks like there’s another door over there.”fb43dc8ccb335600

Yoo-yeon nodded, pointing her e586c910cb light at a silver c4b8d49fe7 doorknob on the innermost c1d00e11da wall. She had thought it be8800fe2f felt narrower than it a3d66d690f looked from outside, so 7b54d834a7 it seemed there was 17ca03ab01 another space.

His signature shameless face shone even in the dark. He seemed to be very well aware of how good-looking he was. Indeed, it would be strange if he didn’t, always hearing compliments and exclamations about his handsomeness from everyone around him. She shook her head and waved her hand at him, who chose strength over beauty. It was a gesture of refusal.

So, stop coming closer. After conveying her indirect refusal, she anxiously turned the doorknob. It was an avoidant action, wanting to escape this uncomfortable atmosphere and focus on something else. He, who had apparently heard her voice, also re-gripped his gun for now.
