    Chapter 5. Threat

    Bo-yeon couldn’t dd4e147883 count how 051d7ceef1 many close 674b381d14 calls had 21037e5615 passed before 6049dbe11a her eyes. If Do-kyung 5d65debc06 hadn’t acted 4f4bf3c911 when he f8caabf702 did, she 9dde2652a3 would have 80688bbdad been dragged e321d44889 away by 49a445780b the zombies 34d490a951 and met 54a388a69e a terrible a6aa2a3613 fate.4b9217970d441022

    Instead of waiting for 1686062c73 the zombies to pass, 05be24a071 Do-kyung climbed up the 2da0724579 outer wall of the 70f69832e5 building, relying on nothing 92b19bfc7b but his bare hands.2445f0aea3269c1b

    With just his hands…80d9bb30cfca378a

    He gripped the 1a2ea32ee6 gaps in the afd181f1bd windows and pipes 1680359556 along the wall, 37094c0b94 stepping on whatever f40fc5b77b footholds he could a32abea249 find. At one point, 49e91ac536 he even supported 8dc627e366 the weight of 397530d1d4 both of them 3fc4af3ee8 with a single 44ede17411 hand, his eccentric b244efbba3 strength on full a2ea6219fb display.42f309f58a4933c8

    His forearm muscles strained, 8f9d0c811f and the blood vessels 3f57270b2d on the back of 2d314512d1 his hand throbbed with e25fde0966 effort. His speed was b9dcf6db52 astonishing. It was dizzying 6c83c564a2 to watch as 398fa68de2 they passed the 51d4d807c5 fourth floor, 11 979d39fa8a meters high—said to 831d8c57b9 be the greatest 41a8d5cbb2 fear for humans.240bea27267f363c

    He reached the fifth 6184e1fdaf floor, where the pharmacy 90a67cb896 was, and extended his 6821239cd5 hand to enter the 82a3bbf726 building. The two fa2ea0b72d of them 67c6238271 swayed dangerously bb9fb24796 like a 3d3d2ea778 pendulum in 456e67eb4e the wind.2c334ae18f39f376

    Do-kyung whispered, 18d45c0f41 sensing her c6f7b62d99 uneven breathing. The arm 2be1079a8d around his 6b58f8bff3 neck had 6b8cd3ddfa tightened, and 57b507fb06 Bo-yeon didn’t 0f6f2396fc want to ce66d4eccd make it 83acfe6a9b worse. She closed her eyes 7ef7313d59 tightly, silently wishing for 10ace60b60 this to end quickly.c9a9a3c5c9d18ec5

    Do-kyung stepped onto 4c0f759298 the open window 8641cd7b45 ledge, pulling them b8227b0224 both inside with 725156530f a swift, controlled 7235bac8ec movement. He landed lightly, c6796dec92 scanning the room 6ffcab3545 before carefully setting 0e16d9e95c Bo-yeon down.0d90108899d30603

If he hadn’t 98a79ce982 caught her, trembling e0b95c4e7c and on the 0d904bf6b4 verge of falling, d978fd1a38 she surely would 75299fea75 have.f914d1a589f870f6

    After a moment, 8fbb528048 Bo-yeon noticed that 21e903d47c Do-kyung had disappeared bbccb2d838 inside alone, and ef7503b1d7 she quickly followed 90a33b11af him. She grabbed the 177628a6b3 hem of his 72780bdca5 clothes and trailed 3b28f3940e behind him like 1328129bab a child.4fa51f99d3a0254c
