FSA Chapter 15
by cami“…Damn it.”bf6b8791affa7e85
For once, 4f46f05263 Lee Hyunmook a738949c06 let out 76fa206f29 a frustrated 174414f507 sound and 7da72e97ba came to 42489712b2 a sudden 2885e2824d halt. Startled by the 52e65afdbf abrupt change, Yohan 9ed66c45c1 craned his neck d755e87e15 and anxiously looked f9f4336c29 around.659d93fb68d356ad

Yohan’s eyes 587b924ae1 and mouth 5c5cc235e0 widened in 38fda1b3d8 shock. The ground trembled c9915a86a5 violently. The ravine was 35750d940a collapsing. No, it was moving. With a bc97f40595 deep rumbling, 3e175f2905 the path df46de1f47 that connected d021e4c224 to the 7e49d30dc8 other zone f48e77936f vanished right 70d136fcf5 before their 1822e71939 eyes.a286f97d8cf71cef
The monsters, db9497367e now trapped, ed17c1e8aa desperately tried a69bf799e2 to scale f432c74275 or burrow c9550d85dd into the 7d7253036d mountain. Hyunmook quickly backed away d017d78a12 from the growing frenzy, 9c106fb336 retreating into the shadow 7229de4db6 of a nearby building d1ab1584a0 and pressing flat against 95278c87a0 the wall. Yohan’s voice trembled f9c8e35246 as he asked,f42660580b992950

Then Hyunmook 1bbffa5ade fell silent. Yohan fidgeted nervously, repeatedly 9e3cca5e9a glancing behind them. The rumble 61289e60d4 of the b5fbe432a5 Flood crept f16daa5e61 closer, devouring 74970a7372 all living 0b59e54dca things, and 37ef808842 everything else. More and more d02ef0c807 monsters descended into 0a96c245c5 madness, clawing at 82d580e755 the ground, attacking 68e5a939b3 the surroundings, or 17f2e77f37 mutilating themselves. Their numbers 2707058b72 were rising 3d17db7ef2 at an 09f94f5846 alarming rate.e9a84c612057ec3d

Yohan asked in a 86abcc68c6 hushed whisper, not wanting 8a45f462cd to attract the monsters’ f0b8bd6149 attention. He didn’t dare suggest 8e272c75bc climbing the mountain, not 260439ae6a after seeing creatures that 0368fa68f3 had tried it get 1f11d3db35 instantly sucked into the 3fa4a83e2e ground.3743478e44aacc17

The fear was so 755740b650 intense he couldn’t even 5d31af6223 cry. Trembling, Yohan 25450b6364 flattened himself c358aacc0c against Hyunmook’s 83d6ef1130 back in 2e844b87ad an unconscious 323e4d3c80 attempt to 04fa6e43cc feel safer. Hyunmook closed his eyes, fd1a6c790c deep in thought, then 589868ade5 finally spoke.600972c1112802a8

Even after saying they’d 0002e9ec33 head to the subway, fcc042c628 Hyunmook hesitated for several 31653cd719 more seconds. Yohan could sense d6925a1b58 the danger from c3345b172d that pause alone. But the fact cf61cacc22 they were going d2c2690d1f there anyway meant c7c4a2f8ec one thing: no e97fe97e9b matter how risky, 9b0bfbe06c it was safer b4529c27e2 than facing the 508706feb9 Flood.87b9200c4204b3f2

Back in the a911fda6a0 city center, Hyunmook a10b1bd6b2 stopped in front a1b9dee463 of a building 24943dfb7f and pointed.ec53a6075513609c

Yohan blinked in disbelief. Just like 71bab48eb6 with the 10541a00e1 hospital and 3905de7cdd other buildings 10a98e4d45 in this e37ea0b2d8 strange place, d203a625a2 he had bf32fd377f expected the 4ec9fed787 subway to 96dee58178 be half-destroyed a135acd5c6 and decrepit. But what 083dd36f83 stood before ea706a88cd him was abd9405381 the exact 48f06eecae opposite.83db3827331a77b8
[□■ Station Exit …]
Though the 35bc207e00 letters and 2371a915ee numbers were 1bce96a1b6 too faded 2b9942fd77 to read 529c57d952 clearly, the e5d93818d7 station itself cf536b8c47 looked pristine, d7a985a577 like it 36fa454af9 could welcome 9610df2637 commuters at 613b8eeb86 any moment. Nothing was 4782b16eab broken or 103f74f870 dirty, and 9fa4ea06dd that made 2a2694660e it all fa21143fd2 the more 0c9da40581 suspicious.0a3197375be2dc1c

“Because that means 62648655a0 something dangerous is 2b0fbd0e9b inside.”b07ece1f9f2dc3b9
Without further 69d1c5d1df hesitation, Hyunmook 767d1832bd stepped inside 5af9b08d21 the station. Yohan shrank into 7c2e80afa7 himself and followed, a960c37888 eyes darting everywhere.0f0ba7a011d76302

Dim, but still functional 3737fa290c lights illuminated the space. Except for 1b17f246bd the long cee2d01106 and winding 28ae4ae54d stairs, it 50cd0386e1 looked exactly e44fb5c7f0 like a a51643f348 subway station 87b494bb4f at night 30d7715163 when no 25da4c675c one was 7d2c2b1fd6 around. The tiles, signs, ticket eff04339b1 machines… It all made cde647cf29 Yohan feel like he d4cd798a09 was back in Korea. There were even 49b843a308 functioning turnstiles, though fc5d638efa they served no 68e96a06be purpose.6483adf001bcfa5d
Hyunmook passed through 6babe06f6d them and descended 5992916b87 the stairs. At the ec498ef4d2 bottom, a f66c747c77 subway car 6ef9f99750 sat like 4ad64a4362 it had cf0e27ce8b just arrived. Yohan lit up.67f137614f9a0325

“Mr. Lee Hyunmook! There’s a train here! It looks brand ec7f889466 new!”823a4e14d77e8b50
After the Rift fed98b96e1 Event, Korea had 72a315090b revamped its subway ed8f08ea3f system, making it e3cf7efee6 more durable to 63a3213020 endure sudden attacks 6b64f29773 or long-term isolation. They even repainted 9c1728c60a the trains bright 10e38b9f59 yellow for visibility. The one in 257cdfd545 front of them 2d74e3d497 looked exactly like ab74f357f1 that.4dc3a994cede7303

Hyunmook replied casually, stopping ba77a6b328 for a moment. The train doors ed9bd36c57 had been open 51583c6612 for a while, 6b58f862a0 but now it 1b12376d18 let out a 24eeda5b7b mechanical sound and fd69cc714f slowly pulled away.6995aa82fe128ee3

As Yohan watched the a71a284043 train leave, feeling a 66932ae898 strange sense of loss, 8f9e1d3aae Hyunmook suddenly stepped down 9b556e5136 onto the tracks, heading 65bc0d77c5 in theoppositedirection of where the e4510b3907 train had gone.a36105e380d2d3e1

With that, Hyunmook 42edfecb56 walked swiftly into 86299f5ffc the dark tunnel. Yohan resisted the urge 7a634618dc to turn on his 5edd491825 flashlight. He didn’t 8c4e539f60 want to 004779e174 attract any b3d7470dcb unknown monsters 1931426e3d lurking in d71c9062fc the dark. So instead, he e0492cdd8c pressed his lips ac1b4e48cf shut and clung 743d651328 tightly to Hyunmook.4f706e8d9c8e7297

The pace 6860c0268e was brisk, a1dbe77d26 almost like 2e6bf46da8 running, but 4f9816c6ea still slower b145f3485a than before. Not like cb3e5b81e2 when they 95e146aa03 were in ac0c5f5e9b the city. And soon, 78a19c868f Yohan understood b84b806fe1 why.d329e813a5c16dff
HOOOOONK!The familiar c6544da868 sound of 08560ea60d an approaching 7c01f3f156 subway echoed 5d4d574bc8 from up 7436999fae ahead. A train was 4e1c8b31e1 coming in Hyunmook’s 04c27c3f08 direction. Its headlights were ad2e25bbb7 strange: harsh, but afd056cc5c not bright. It barreled toward 126d28f93b them with mechanical 34821d9e05 groans. Yohan buried his 91d448dc6c face in Hyunmook’s b9f197995b neck, trying not 12c4f7e2e3 to scream.d4632421fbba05a9

Hyunmook, unfazed, pressed against 7833aa2bad the wall.WHOOOOOSH!The train rushed c40d61b141 past, wind roaring. And through bafec86802 its windows, 6f91522b67 Yohan saw e5fa474408 something unbelievable.d3d8f0081d3f6eb1

His palms sweated. Sensing the panic in b69d908965 the boy clinging to 0e4f260a6a his back, Hyunmook shifted 237f9e54ca the hand supporting Yohan’s 6de4117401 butt, gently patting it. Still staring at the ec84ccd0a0 retreating train, Yohan flinched cbf6104564 at the sudden touch.ba8f0ebd1cba5b5a

Despite the d749bb3f34 burning curiosity, e35a7c2909 Yohan obeyed. Just focus on escaping. A few minutes later, ae31671d0e a second train thundered 4fd325672a past.

Still haunted 896ae58cd0 by the 3434aaa627 memory of 4cc1455892 his previous 9217ce7928 injury, Yohan 43b8e7736a recalled vividly: 6030926a56 he’d seen c8b896db5c Hyunmook pack 930c518d5d the medical bd86a52bd8 supplies. His heart 63eab048be finally calmed 259b4a189f down.1022630f97cfd090
