Dead Land: A Zombie Apocalyptic Fiction(JeongTae SS)

Chapter 11

"Is it the right thing to do?" I asked, as I noticed Taehyung staring dangerously at the guys in front. 

Their gaze is piercing through our skulls, and I feel a headache coming on.

"Noona, let's do it," Kookie whispered beside me. 

Why are they asking me when they have already made their decision? All I hoped for was not to be killed.

We exited the van after ensuring that the car was locked so that the people would not attempt to attack Dahyun and Yeontan. I only took my gun and a knife. If they try to attack us, I will use my gun without hesitation.

"Kookie, come here!" I called out to him, pulling behind me. He looked serious now. But now is not the time to be heroic. I really do not know what I will do if they decide to attack.
I need to put my thoughts to rest right now. 

"Look who is here." One of the men in the group said. His tone was infused with sarcasm.

He looked like he was in his early twenties. His hair was dyed red, and his clothes appeared neat and tidy. 

I could not help but raise my eyebrows at that. How is he so clean and able to wear such nice clothing? He even applied gel to his hair. And based on the silence and obedient expressions of the others, he appears to be the team's leader. 

To be honest, they do not appear to be what I expected. The entire group resembles college students with wealthy fathers who throw temper tantrums for no apparent reason.

The "leader" smirked at us again in mockery. 

I really want to erase that smirk from his face.

"Let them go with us; we will not bother you." Taehyung attempted to negotiate with them. To release the two hostages, Namjoon and Yoongi. 

The aforementioned hostages looked at us in surprise, clearly not expecting us to come for them.

“Oh, look, what a nice human being.” The “leader” said it again, and the others laughed with him. 

"Are these your friends? Why didn’t you tell us? Tell me? Your friend, Soojin"? The "leader," whose name he has just revealed, questioned the two wounded people on the ground. They both bowed their heads without saying anything, which seemed to set off Soojin.

He charged forward and kicked the two in anger.

"Why are you not responding?" He roared angrily.

What a brute he is. My blood boiled with rage.

"That is enough, you got what you needed; now let the two go." Taehyung tries to control the situation.

"And who are you to order me that?” Soojin narrowed his eyes and raised his brow.

"You dare to command our leader?" The other member of the group yelled angrily. 

I trembled quite a bit; this is an extremely nerve-racking situation. Though I described them as being similar to tantrum-throwing college students, they appear to be very brutal.

Now they appear to be about to pounce on us at any moment. 

I am not as well-trained as Taehyung or Jimin in such situations. 

And as for Jungkook, he appears to be in a fighting mood since the outbreak, which scares the hell out of me. Every time he did something that I had forbidden him to do. He never acts like a teenager and instead plays the role of the knight in shining armour. And now we are reaping the consequences of his actions.
