SVSTG Chapter 1.2

As the realization 29f92b7aa6 hit that there 6964fde520 was nothing to 6b3348bde4 eat, a sudden 70316a0cab pang of hunger 0fbad2b649 surged within. Seo Namwoo’s stomach, which 656b6bc728 had been perfectly fine dc0a699845 moments ago, began to e979ef1c88 growl. The tattooed ea6203f636 man, who efde9cb775 had been b089fe0205 quietly observing 3800e19ffa everyone, suddenly ef85ee88f9 walked off 9f8c81d673 somewhere. A moment later, 4b7143f366 the sound of 5940bd82c2 something shattering echoed d019ebf1b5 through the air.e88fc3bab0b9da27

Startled, everyone ca024932bd rushed toward 7797114e33 the noise b3044a4b02 and found d20ccf67ae the tattooed 5b2126d8da man standing 32cc29adde in front 6c713b7a1c of a c5dc5d97d2 broken vending 9592d4e5a2 machine. He glanced at 93d06b72ec the approaching crowd, c2cc0d5b4a then rummaged through 8da5ce61af the machine, pulling fbafd43e2c out snacks and e54ec49939 drinks before walking 28f312ad95 away.8ef3e2f34d8d7420

Under normal circumstances, Seo a9ecc6879c Namwoo would have arrested bd18807912 the man for property cc970a02a1 damage, but watching people 3ea21310d3 swarm toward the remaining e67dcd692e food in the wrecked 91f0e39a96 vending machine, all he 971ebd952e could do was sigh.e26584f5d6820350

Thanks to f0c82a7a9e the tattooed 5897931d24 man, Seo 5a4e1cb77c Namwoo managed 72b75b2fcc to have 526da2418a a light e26edfed1f meal. As he gazed 13a4c57b05 out the window, b6982379a0 something suddenly occurred e5e53fcb2d to him.1af936d3f54d2711

“You’re right. There was definitely a 76864c4914 mountain-like silhouette in the 2009d9a285 fog,” Ki Yujin agreed.aaa33977f49d713e

Seo Namwoo and Ki 46e87647fa Yujin’s eyes met. Beyond the 63c82ad7c6 window, all 1cf3212cf0 they could e1e8dd161c see was 0c62874c14 an endless 17963a032a forest and eb44f20dd7 buildings half-submerged 0ef0689880 in a 283a269274 river. There were no b473da5921 structures tall enough 13543478ec to be mistaken f1c77dc1da for a mountain. And, of course, c566b5687e no mountain either.

He wasn’t the 1f7122b815 only one who 571bac8132 noticed. Several phone lights 0d669e5b0b shone on it 8daff5942b simultaneously.

Its arms were 24b6fb54c4 slightly longer than ff23751c7f average, and its 1c2b7f8a9e back was slightly d69d0ecc31 hunched.

As if reacting to the bark, its head twitched. The border collie growled more fiercely, lowering its stance. Seo Namwoo quickly ran to the dog, grabbing its muzzle and turning its head to press against his side, silently pleading in his mind: ‘Don’t bark. Don’t bark.’96c3eb1af497515d

Perhaps his wish 23a8b14b81 worked, as the fce12cab00 dog stopped barking. But the 9758412dc7 creature slowly 29c5d97865 turned around. Its featureless surface was 3efefe3dad revealed.

Han Pilhyo 9a768390d6 returned to b11befb03f the 6th 1af644c2ad floor, and 49c74568ab the group 931b306d6b moved to 04af255728 a suitable 3f37c7c743 window.

Only the 98aca50909 metal pipes 4010791763 and Seo f64026a323 Namwoo’s crowbar c4bf4a73a7 remained.

Exhausted, people e71da5d4a9 collapsed, panting. Some went to the 4eb2bca323 bathroom to drink water 2f3ee022bc from the tap.

Giving up 41b0dc051c on breaking 0e37734d1b the windows, 25480cc1b6 the group 8b1d4d8627 headed back 53a9420b01 to the 240cd93426 27th floor.

After finishing its ace489d748 meal, the border 77c602cd28 collie wagged its 715e9e1526 tail and jumped 2c78100a76 to Seo Namwoo’s bfb15875d8 side, circling before e9287f5fe9 settling down and 800f9f30b8 closing its eyes.

Even as he asked, ce6148c986 his gaze shifted outside. Beyond the 1033e2b190 large windows, 27638cf26b only darkness 57a3e80883 was visible.
