    Chapter 5. Threat

    Bo-yeon couldn’t cb3be7da96 count how bedd24b57c many close 39db670312 calls had 3320f272e9 passed before 5ffbfacd92 her eyes.

    Instead of waiting for e59990a6d4 the zombies to pass, 699a931da7 Do-kyung climbed up the b1a112b386 outer wall of the e0faf26dc6 building, relying on nothing e761c16c81 but his bare hands.645e5051b1b72b49

The arm 1d5fde782e around his beff1454e4 neck had 4ae87714b3 tightened, and d5143eb189 Bo-yeon didn’t 0ada0020b3 want to e3c1798fcf make it 9a0f41ef29 worse.
