Stagnant Water of Apocalypse

Chapter 65: The Best Defence (3)

The next day, the survivors returned once again and rummaged through the warehouse. They were even pompous enough to laugh out loud while doing so.

Hyung-jun Hyung and Lieutenant Hyun-woo did not come out from their lodgings to see them, saying that seeing them would only cause their blood pressure to rise. So I was the one who watched them take the supplies. I looked at them indifferently, not overly friendly nor angry, while they were shamelessly taking the supplies.

Seeing me that way, a smile came to their lips.

"We're asking you to survive together, so let's work together."

"Lieutenant Kim was a really nice person, but how come that ahjussi is like that?"

...If he had been here, he might have punched that guy with his fist.

I sent them off with the utmost patience. But there was nothing I could do about the heat rising inside my body.

"You wouldn't be able to do this nonsense again. I'll make sure of it" Afterall, the moment they took those supplies, my plan was already in motion. In one of the boxes they took, there was a paper doll of Yoohyeon. Once I knew their location, I would immediately move. I'll teach them that once they get the attention of a bastard like me, they would only be able to sleep with one of their eyes peeled open.

When I got to the dorm, Yoohyeon ran up to me. "Hyung, what are we going to do with them?"

"First, we have to find out where they live."

"After that?"

"I just want to know about it."

"Don't tell me, just like before..."

"Like before?"

Yoohyeon turned his head and didn't say anything more. Only an idiot wouldn't come to a conclusion after being given so many pieces to put together. However, people also know that it's easier to pretend not to know rather than confronting something they didn't want to.

Yoohyeon groaned. "Sometimes, I-I'm afraid... that Hyung will become our enemy... at the kobold raid too... Hyung is a person on a different level from us..."

"Unless you betrayed me first, that will never happen." I said so while patting him in the back.

"Really?"

"Yes. I was someone who was not that smart and had quite a dirty personality, but I won't abandon people I know if I could help them."

"...by any chance, the supplies that you found when we arrived at the one-room building neighbourhood..."

"It was originally there, isn't it?" When I smiled, Yoohyeon laughed awkwardly. That's right, If you act like a fool in moderation, everyone becomes comfortable.

After I finished packing up, Yoohyeon said, "I think they have arrived."

"Can you tell me anything about the location? Any landmarks or something similar?"

"School... I can see schools. There are three of them side by side..."

"It should be Saman-dong..." I marked their locations on the map. Now it's my turn to act. "Just in case, change the location of the women's dormitory before night falls. got it?"

"Is there something wrong, Hyung?"

"They kept looking at Sooyeon and Mikyung with disgusting eyes yesterday. We couldn't be sure what they would try to do with them."

"Yes Yes."

"If people ask you about me, just tell them that I went out for a brief reconnaissance, okay?" Yoohyeon nodded his head eagerly. I went outside and called Dingo who was playing in the training ground.
