PSM Ch 7
by Amelia“No lights?”2b5488ce782811c9
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.d3b461cbbcdf4325

“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.”a6514d7c3361dc75
He switched on de3a3bf681 the tactical light 4e0a1328bb attached to his 883284d916 gun, illuminating the eb379e604e inside. As the cold light ace9cf1e80 cut through the darkness, 7759a97025 parts of the interior, 5392bb0dea previously just shadows, started 92295fdf88 to reveal themselves. It looked ca7ea9dda7 like a 441a309cf6 storage area, 4bd048e535 with various 57ac61ac97 items piled 323478ca99 high and a0a2b432d1 messy, limiting be52060dc6 their vision d61fdf9e62 as if 438136ba09 they were d873844a08 in a bb18dd8ffa library with acc54c18ef overgrown bookshelves. The fear of bf7630565d something popping out 9eb012a0f1 at any moment, 58f3d15c25 from anywhere, psychologically 603b26e9c5 intimidated her.b0901261227920e7

“Can’t see the floor well, so watch your step.”84a376c10697ae0f
Ryung, as if it 24c3f915c9 were obvious, put her 4dd529439f behind him and moved 1ea0d3ceac forward. Yoo-yeon frowned edf02baa59 at his b44137f52c receding back. He was 523a43627c treating Yoo-yeon 4bd15d6cc1 like a 3d5d39e80d woman, not 3ade49018b a superior e0982e00cf officer from e84ecf4ad8 the same 49bee75511 unit. Part of why 07f788a800 she kept her 3e6fc7e678 distance and set 6a510a09dd boundaries with him b0e15da95d was precisely out e036a27cfe of concern that 1da651ad8f something like this bb39be6f9b might happen.8bf1d6a86bee0d26

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.7b6429641d746437
Yoo-yeon almost ran to 23f26e41f3 catch up to him, 67f052c148 walking side by side.eb011d582362bbb3

The scene 8ea9312081 illuminated by c872fd3378 the thin 45c53b2719 beam of 66666990bf light resembled 1c9facf455 the trash 26eb2af5f5 heaps outside. She almost tripped 685d0a2807 several times on d87eccfa93 the soju bottles 862f7ab0c8 scattered on the fde961247b floor, and cigarette f5d9f2d1ca butts were strewn ce8a749240 about everywhere.

“Doesn’t look like there’s any body damage. Usually, if a human dies as a human, it’s from a fatal injury before they get infected, right? But I don’t see any bite marks or anything.”d14f2c739408a7c5

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.5b1e7ee6423c0051

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?f8440ab54ef296ac
According to research results d618e6566e so far, the only 09490f04db way to get infected 127a641acd was by being bitten 72ddbf89bb by a zombie, or 5a815521bc more precisely, when a 65a950c37a special fluid secreted from 80fda64f76 behind their teeth entered 100fccc5df the skin.06fcd14053e8abe6

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.0d4d71bec5103796

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.2f3ae5f925946729

It was just regular b0d36036c8 waxed hair, nothing special, 6ded100e40 but he pondered for 9df2583602 a long time before 95c6db03d7 finally getting up. After finding the 058bc8767a bite mark on 60c7f9add4 the corpse, he 06c07cd6ca grew more tense 8dcafabc12 than before, meticulously 4c93d74ea9 searching everywhere, but 10b887eafd only trash was 6a7ed12ec1 found; no zombies.6e7ddb0459db60a0

Yoo-yeon nodded, d36f90de53 pointing her cdb50b42d0 light at 83f06e53de a silver 15ec90c289 doorknob on adacb60ca3 the innermost ef414d9ff0 wall. She had thought 17fb7fe6f4 it felt narrower 147844898c than it looked 4fb9ffebde from outside, so e41ba9d20d it seemed there 3ad6c1f05d was another space. His shoulders, which had 312f2b09d7 been perked up with fa6764f8be anticipation for going home, cd11ed7c35 drooped with the newly 65cc275678 added task. Noticing his 96d4e5f55f visible change 55e61ae218 in mood, 388ccd0aa3 Yoo-yeon unconsciously 07db2ccc49 tried to b9160e030b console him.d32f02059acfb9a7

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. Normally, he would have tsk’d and 5c23bc6f5e stopped, but 3c8d31826a he persistently 4e6e374aee followed behind f43e19bcd5 her.65c5930096e46e4b

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. It wasn’t his head or his heart, but his body, which had survived until now, that reacted instinctively.a3be2ac48bda6611
