Chapter 25

Episode 6 – Judgment Time (3)

The following morning, there were a few changes to Gumho Station.

First of all, Han Myungoh had disappeared.

He had hidden once the fighting started and disappeared after it ended. I didn't know if he was hiding somewhere in the station or was moving to the next station.

"Let's not worry about him now. I didn't like him from the beginning. In addition, he isn't the only one who disappeared."

It was as Jung Heewon said. After the fight yesterday, the number of people remaining in Gumho Station was almost nonexistent.

It wasn't that there were few survivors. Rather, more people survived compared to the original plot. However, most of those who survived left the station last night. Perhaps they had their own reasons.

"...Will the remaining people be okay?"

Yoo Sangah asked as she looked at the survivors.

Me, Yoo Sangah, Lee Hyunsung, Lee Gilyoung and Jung Heewon. Apart from us five, there were only five people left in this station.

Jung Heewon spoke first.

"Hey everyone. Are you coming with us?"

The casual words caused a stir among the people. The representative was a young woman holding a child's hand.

"...We will go separately. We have some coins left."

I honestly admired that the mother and child survived the bloody fight. If she had that much strength, they might be able to survive without going with us.

Jung Heewon nodded.

"Yes. I wish you luck."

Once Jung Heewon turned around, relief appeared on the people's faces.

In fact, this response wasn't strange. Certainly, yesterday's situation was a bit shocking.

It was understandable. One refused to give out charity while another one brutally killed people, even if there was a reason. To them, Jung Heewon might not be much different from the Cheoldoo Group.

I touched Lee Hyunsung, who was making a stupid expression next to me.

"Lee Hyunsung-ssi?"

"Ah, yes!"

Lee Hyunsung, who was staring at Jung Heewon with a blank expression, looked at me with surprise. I think I knew what he was thinking.

He wondered if she was the woman struck by madness yesterday and killed all the Cheoldoo Group.

"Are the preparations finished?"

"Yep! It is a big rough but it is finished. There are plastic bottles to be used as water containers, goods to protect from the cold and emergency supplies..."

Indeed, a soldier was useful in situations like this.

"...It is up to here. If you need anything else..."

There was nothing else I needed...I wanted to say but I suddenly thought about something.

"Oh, can you find me any portable secondary batteries?"

"You are talking about a battery? Why...?"

It was natural to wonder. A smartphone was useless because no signal was available. I replied roughly.

"I have a place to use it."

Lee Hyunsung said he would look for it and started to search through the things left behind by the Cheoldoo Group. Lee Gilyoung and Yoo Sangah also said they would help. Jung Heewon looked at me and asked.
