The First Hunter
Chapter 75: A Gamecock, Part I
1.
With the advent of the monsters, horrors that had never been experienced began. With the advent of the Messiah, the exploitation and plundering which seemed to not end began, but in the end, it was a man who no one anticipated or knew who finished the nightmare of Buyeo. A desperate battle began, and only screams and corpses were left.
Kim Tae-hoon.
He no longer allowed the gunshots and screams to ring out in Buyeo. That's how the nightmare ended.
"Are you finished?" But it wasn't over. Kate asked a question of him, who started to enjoy the coffee he had served at the coffee shop after finishing everything. He did not answer, but he stared at her slowly with his coffee in his mouth.
"It looks like it's over." She did not play up her anger, as she knew he was not that kind of man.
"Thank you." She was not angry at his appearance. She knew that she had no right or reason to be angry with him.
"Thank you so much." She thanked him again.
Gulp! At that time, he swallowed.
"I liked your savior's performance, and I caught the Messiahs properly, and I'll cancel some of the monster stones, as promised."
After his words, he enjoyed his coffee again. That was the last sip, and the coffee that had been half-filled in the mug was gone, not because he drank a lot at once, but because of the small amount of coffee that he had made.
Her face hardened at that moment. "Hey, are you going to leave like this?"
There was no answer to the question. There was no need to. His eyes, looking at her indifferently, were enough to convey the answer.
"Are you really going to leave them alone?" Her face was now distorted. "If you just go back, most of the people here will just die!"
It was the sound of Kim swallowing the last coffee that stopped the words that she was pouring out with her feelings. At that sound, she swallowed without even knowing it.
"We use the Messiah to catch the Messiah, that was our plan. You play Messiah, and I catch Messiah. I never said anything more."
"You saved them! You're responsible for saving them, aren't you?"
He got rid of the Messiah. Certainly, they were rooted very well. But there were still plenty of threats around the survivors of Buyeo.
Once there was a threat from the monsters. The survivors of Buyeo were exploited by the Messiah believers, but they endured since the Messiah protected them from the monsters anyway. But no one would kill the monsters that would be going crazy now that Messiah disappeared.
"They don't know how to fight monsters!" Even those who were protected by the Messiah had little resistance to monsters, because they had never fought them.
The Messiah had hunted monsters from the beginning, using the overwhelming weapon of the first-grade relics, not the crude relics obtained from the Buyeo National Museum.
When compared, the presence of Messiah was a desperate remedy for the survivors. There was no room for tolerance in the body's fight against the disease.
There was a shortage of food and ammunition. Unlike Seoul and Bucheon, there was enough farmland in Chungcheong Province and Nonsan areas, but the rice harvested from rice farming did not have much food stockpiled, and it was not enough to guarantee next year.
As soon as he left here, all the survivors here were finally sentenced to a deadline to die.
Her anger was right.
"I'll make sure of two things." He spoke to her anger.
"One, I used these people here as bait, and I threw a wriggling worm into my hook to catch what I wanted, and the fishing was over. There's no reason for me to look at the state of the worm on the needle anymore
She glared at him.
"Two, I don't want to be a Savior, and even I can't be a Savior."
"You!" She reached for his collar as if she couldn't stand it anymore. He did not avoid the touch. He was willing to be seized by the collar. That was all. He, who was caught with the collar, didn't budge. She just grabbed his collar.
"Currently, there are tens of thousands of people who need my protection in Bucheon and Incheon. For their sake, I am willing to ignore the lives of thousands in Buyeo."
In addition, his will was as strong as his body. She gave up her persuasion in front of the firmness. She relaxed her grip.
"Then I'll bear these lives." Unlike him, she could not abandon them.
Because of those who believed her to be a Savior and sacrificed their life, she couldn't ignore the survivors here.
"No." But he didn't even allow it. "You're a hostage. I can't allow you to act the way you want."
"Let's make a deal. Please help the survivors here. I'll bear the price."
"What are you going to pay with?"
"Anything will be fine. Whether my body or a monster stone, say what you want."
She was relieved of part of her debt in return for playing the Savior, and she was now determined to owe an unmatched debt.
He had a bitter smile at the changed look of her. 'You've faced the reality.'
The first time he saw she was a smart woman. To put it more plainly, she was an astute woman. She was a woman who understood her situation and was willing to act for her own good.
The evidence was that she pretended not to know anything from the first time he met, and that she understood the situation and calculated quickly by weighing the scales. However, she was now facing the reality: the world in which monsters had appeared was not just about fighting monsters.
She had no choice but to reveal her true self, facing the reality that just living became hell.
'But I didn't expect this to happen.' It was the way she was now. She was full of responsibility and a great cause.
"Well, for Americans, admiration of heroes is not just a preference."
To put it simply, she was a hero. She was a hero who wanted to achieve something worthwhile through self-sacrifice.
He was not surprised by her appearance.
There were not a lot of people in the world like her. Courage had its own use.
Someone needs courage just to save their life, someone needs the courage to commit evil, and someone needs courage for the sake of the world. That's all.
There was no need for him to pay much attention to her appearance.
"If you really want to become their Savior, what's urgent right now is not to take them to Bucheon."
He did not bring her here just to use her.
"Actually, the Chungcheong area is important to me, too. For the Honam region, the largest granary region in Korea, we need to establish a base in Chungcheong Province in some way. But I can't do that right now."
"What's the reason?"
"The reason is that we did not come through Sejong City on our way."
Of course, at this moment, he was planning to use her heroic image for his own good. He was Kim Tae-hoon.
"There is a blue-grade monster in Sejong City."
"… what do we do to kill it?"
2.
Sejong City.
Built under the reason of relocating the administrative capital, it was once called the grave of government officials. Of course, it was a joke, a grumbling joke made by goose-fathers, who suddenly drifted around the country to earn money for their dependents who studied abroad, or government officials who became mothers. But now the joke had become a reality.
Sejong City became a huge tomb. Among them, the Sejong Government Complex and Sejong City Hall were the most splendid tombs.
Sejong City Hall, which reminded people of a spaceship and once brilliantly shone under the sunshine with glass instead of concrete, was a glass mound, and Sejong Government Complex, which was designed like a snake to follow the Geumgang River passing through Sejong City, was the longest tomb in Korea.
Rather than survivors, the two areas became a land where monsters digging up the dead bodies lived.
'Nonsense.' He was shocked by the fact.
'We shouldn't hear this.'
Dangjin Yeongdeok Expressway...
On the road across from Sejong City, he was listening to Sejong City Hall and Sejong Government Complex, and he could hear the monsters and beasts flocking to eat the leftovers in the mass graves.
"Well, there's a really big monster here, right? Are you sure there's a blue-grade monster?"
He could hear her voice. However, he could not respond to the sound. He couldn't afford it.
'There's only one thing that can make a sound here…' This was the stage of the blue-grade monster, and of course, this was not the place where such a noise was allowed.
It was nothing else, but a blue-grade monster.
There was no need to feel fear, but the existence alone made the monsters below the yellow-grade stupid!
But if there was such a monster, why was there so much noise? There was a monster loitering to eat a broken body? Even animals were running around in the collapsed city?
It was evidence. This was no longer the territory of the monster.
'That's ridiculous.'
At that moment, he quickly took out the thermos bottle and drank the coffee in it. It was ridiculous to drink coffee in an urgent situation, a situation where there was no room in his mind, but it was a more desperate act for himself.
"Hey!"
He ignored her words toward him and began to think with only coffee. Using the Hearing of the Bell-tailed Rat, he interpreted the information repeatedly by accepting the sounds.
'Damn it.' His reason and knowledge always returned the same answer to the information.
'I hope it's not the worst scenario.' There was no more blue-grade monster in Sejong City!
Gulp! In the end, he accepted the fact with the coffee that he had been tasting.
"Are you sure there's a monster here? I want an answer." She urged him to answer. However, her voice was not audible to him.
There was only one thing he could hear. - Tututu! It was the gunshots that started to fill the Sejong Government Complex that had collapsed at some point.
3.
Tutu! A gunshot broke through the wreckage of the collapsed building.
Tutu! The shot was quite plain, and it had a lightness that could never be produced by frightened, mad pulling of the trigger. It was evident that the owner of this gun was now a veteran of many experiences and battlefields.
"Hey! Body! How are you?"
"Legs, I got my leg bitten."
"Be careful, You asshole! You are damn bitten!"
"Did I want to be bitten? The monster bit me."
Such a veteran had no choice but to spit out a whimper in front of his fellows.
Tutu!
Veteran Lee Hyung-woo, who saw monsters with shapes similar to wolves trying to come back, turned his head again and looked at his fellow Pak Jin-seo, who was pressing his left shin with a rag to stop the bleeding.
Park, who felt Lee's gaze, said immediately. "Don't let your eyes wander, but focus on the front! If they come, you're done, too!"
"You looked aside, I'm fine."
"Damn, I am envious of you."
The disputing, the harsh words came and went. But they both knew that they did not need to say them.
"...I'll slow them down here, so you run."
And they knew that they no longer needed to be scolded by words that were no longer true.
"Don't be funny."
"Don't shoot the drama, Lee, we're here to deliver the news, not to come to die together."
"There's Mud Troll flesh, and that's enough to recover if you can afford it."
"It's an emergency! I'm not using it for this!"
"Fuck, you're using it for this! When else do you use it?"
"Stay with me, you idiot! Our job is to deliver the news to him! Forget it? What happened?"
They knew, but they could not stop the fake argument. When they stopped the quarrel, one of them would be bait and the other would have to live with regret for the rest of his life.
"Fuck, fuck…" Eventually, Lee wept unknowingly. The fact that there was no one here to quarrel like this made his heart beat cold.
Park took something out of his pocket for Lee. It was candy.
Cheap candy one could see when one went to a restaurant and finished one's bill at the counter.
It was all coffee candy.
"You should eat all of this."
Tutu! Lee, who took another shot before answering, confirmed the candy and laughed bitterly.
"You're fucking shit, you're fucking shitting me. What the hell is that coffee-flavored candy…"
"Well, it's an amulet. Our good luck charm."
Aooo!
The conversation, which was not likely to end, was ended by a wolf's cry. The wolf's Howling was so fierce that it was not comparable to a normal wolf.
As soon as they heard it, Lee and Park shut their mouths to the Howling, which made the whole body get goosebumps, dented, and sent shivers down the spine. The gunshots also stopped.
'Aah!' Lee's fingers were frozen when he was exposed to the Howling.
"Fire, Lee Hyung-woo asshole!" Park forced all his energy and shouted toward Lee.
Lee pulled the trigger with a chuckle.
But all he could hear was a knock on the empty magazine. His face turned white, and Park shouted out with a red face, "You idiot! Go away! Run! Go!" Park, who squeezed his voice, picked up the K2 rifle that lay next to him. He clearly held a scary weapon, but it was as useless as a death-row convict in front of the death penalty.
"Go!"
Lee couldn't get away with leaving his companion.
"Go, fuck off! Go!" Park made a sound again toward Lee.
Thump! At that moment a man fell on the ground from above. A spiderweb-like crack started under the feet of the man, and sand dust scattered in shock waves.
The only thing that glistened between the clouds of dust was black Eyes.
The eyes were full of a fearsome dignity that no other monster could compare to. However, Lee and Park, who looked at the pupils, burst into tears.
"Ma-Master!"
