Hiding the House in the Apocalypse

39. Yuse (4)

Took.

The gun fell to the floor.

He retrieved the firearm with an empty hand, removed the ammunition, and held the muzzle behind his ear before conducting a body search.

“······eww.”

Park Sang-min chewed his lips carefully with a blue face.

Is it so embarrassing?

Strictly speaking, I had it in mind from the beginning.

To the point of this human being pitying me to catch me off guard, then threatening me with a gun and driving me to limb.

Unlike his unique life story, it is a story full of cliches.

“…”

how will we do it.

Killing would be right.

That’s probably the most sensible option.

The problem is the method.

I don’t really want to use a gun.

If a gunshot rang out and a corpse with a hole was found, noise would flow out somehow and it might scratch Woo Min-hee’s nerves.

“Turn around.”

“Hey, Park Hunter. This is a misunderstanding. I’m going to try intimidating against the capsule, that is, camouflage shooting…”

puck!

The pistol grip slammed him down on the shoulder relentlessly.

“Ah!”

“Walk forward.”

“What, what are you trying to do?”

“from now on.”

He shifted his gaze to the floor.

There is a spider type here in the Capitol.

It is certainly.

As Park Sang-min said, they didn’t even build a base, but it takes a while to pour out minions, but the traces of minions are undeniable proof of the spider type.

Maybe it’s an object with a new pattern that we don’t know about.

It’s a little-known fact, but monsters change their patterns quite often.

Of course, I will not deny the possibility that the spider type is a virtual being that only exists in my imagination.

Even in that case, there is insurance.

It’s enough to wake up the capsule.

However, it was a rather cumbersome process, so I put it off as the last option.

I drove Park Sang-min towards the traces of spider ring on the floor.

I learned from my senior, Baek Seung-hyun, how to induce fear in silence and lead people to death.

“Hey, can I talk to you?”

Park Sang-min opened his mouth with difficulty.

Allowed.

At least while he’s taking his steps, I’m going to let him talk as he pleases.

“I’m sorry too. I understand that you are angry. I don’t even know why I did it. It must have been a lot of pressure.”

“…”

“Did you see my mother outside? I talked about my mother a little while ago, but it’s true. He’s really tough. It may be nothing more than a tautology, but I am a small ball thrown by my mother. It means that the vector value is determined from the moment you throw it.”

“…”

“Where are you trying to take me?”

Just then, the hallway stretched out into the dark.

“······excuse me.”

I lit the lantern and illuminated the front.

The landscape has changed.

There is a “spider web”.

It’s not the web that a real spider spins, but the erosion phenomenon that a spider type creates on a base.

Corridors that should have stretched out in a straight line twisted at some point, and grayish-white protrusions, as if the ground itself had risen, rose from the floor, ceiling, and walls, creating an optical illusion that made people doubt gravity.

This is the web that makes spider-types invulnerable.

It’s certain that it hasn’t been long since they settled down.

The perfect spider’s web is not only dazzling to the eye, it’s so ingenious that it even makes you forget the direction of gravity.

“Are you trying to kill me?”

“Is there another way?”

“If you kill me, you won’t be safe either?”

Park Sang-min stopped walking.

clap

“Yes, it is true that Baek Seung-hyun, a bully, said that he was in trouble. More than you, but he’s younger than the group average, and he doesn’t have his father’s halo anymore. But that’s it. Hunter Park.”

Park Sang-min smiled shamelessly and turned around.

“Does Park Sang-min, who died, have a meaning?”

“…”

“It is a card worth using. This is it.”

Park Sang-min opened his arms.

“Whether you beat me to death or kill me with a gun, do as you please. I can’t go any further.”

he came to me

His face, hidden in darkness, was revealed.

“Do whatever you want. f*ck now. I’m sick of it.”

Park Sang-min was crying.

covered in tears and mucus,

Like a child looking for its mother.

“Should I do what others tell me to do until I die? Who is the representative of the people?”

Park Sang-min suddenly stopped.

It’s not because I’m scared.

A thought grabbed him.

“Come to think of it, my job was also to convey the will of others to the council. The reality is different, but if you look at the wording of the representative system, isn’t that what it means?”

Whatever he says, it’s a good thing.

A grayish-white light shone through the darkness of the hallway.

The owner of the basement found us.

Park Sang-min, as if realizing that fact, slowly turned his head and glared at the huge monster approaching as if filling the corridor.

“Mo, monster…!!”

That’s the answer.

“Spider type!”

That is also correct.

The grey-white, three-segmented, six-legged, spider-like monster exactly matches the spider type taught in school.

However, there is one difference.

has horns

Horns bigger than humans stand tall.

No spider type has horns, at least not among the examples I know of.

Is it a variant?

It’s probably very likely.

When I see a small spider resembling him pouring out of his gaping mouth.

Usually, the spider type builds a base, lays an unequal polyhedron, which can be called an egg, and creates a spider ring from it to defend the territory.

On the other hand, that guy stores minions inside his body and takes them out when needed.

It is a new type.

say at school

If you find a new monster or its variant, avoid the battle unconditionally.

That’s right.

It should be.

that’s what i came for

but.

“…”

I like to challenge new things.

His curiosity is also curiosity, but above all, I had confidence in myself.

I have always encountered new things, discovered my identity, and shared my lessons with everyone, proving again and again that I am a hunter worthy of the nickname given by my teacher.

A report on the discovery of several subspecies and variants, the discovery of new patterns and proposals on how to destroy them, the discovery of new large monsters, the discovery of muteiseon mechanism, and the ecosystem inside the rift.

All of these are my achievements as a professor.

This treasure trove of knowledge and exploration, not just fighting well, made the name Professor a legend of the old days.

But now is the time to go back.

My purpose here is not to satisfy my curiosity or to fight against the enemies of mankind.

I just came to kill one person.

I, who hated monsters more than anyone else and tried to erase their very existence, now try to throw a person at a monster just because they are a threat to me.

however.

“I wanted to show it to my mother.”

Why?

“This Park Sang-min stands up and walks on his own.”

The one that doesn’t fall off.

“Did you see my mother?”

“…”

“How much longer do you want to live? help. Just this one time. yes? Wouldn’t that also have a mother?”

It would not be only the stimulation of this person’s obvious emotional lines.

“Haven’t you ever thought about becoming a proud son?”

Park Sang-min cried and appealed.

“I have no parents.”

When I came to my senses, I was already moving past him toward the grey-white monster.

Apart from my reasoning that I shouldn’t do it, my instincts were precisely aware of the objective fact of the minimum range of the counterforce field and the loose weakness that was uniformly visible to the spider type, the guy’s erratic pattern.

One thing is different.

“Kiririririk!”

It pours out a lot of Spiderlings from its mouth.

bang! bang! Tata Tata Tang!

He knocked down the attacking guys with his pistol.

clap

It was time to empty one magazine in an instant and try to load the next one.

yes—-

A strange echo traveled through the air and made my heart tremble.

He immediately blew the pistol away as if sliding it to the floor.

Woooo!!

At the same time as the roar reached its limit, the pistol popped itself out.

pop! Pupperpuppung!

The pistol exploded on its own, scattering shrapnel and bullets everywhere.

Detonation.

It is the power of the monster.

One of the reasons I chose the cold weapon called the axe.

hooked!

A shrapnel lodged in my thigh.

I didn’t cut the bones and tendons, but I felt a lot of pain and a feeling of bleeding.

but shallow

It seems that it stopped at this level because the fragments embedded in my body were not directly embedded in my body, but hit the floor and ricocheted while the penetrating power was offset.

“Bar, Park Hunter?!”

Now he’s in my domain.

Inside the narrow hallway, with its 5-meter-high body shoved into it, it struggles disgustingly with its several antennae, spitting out a baby that resembles itself.

Serureung-

He pulled out two axes.

The spiderlings rushed at me all at once.

The dance of death has begun.

Spiderling’s corpse was slammed to the ground, with its head crushed and its torso crushed, with each ruthless ax cutting through the air.

“Huh, huh!!”

Park Sang-min’s rough breathing is heard.

Haven’t you run away yet?

It’s good.

Now all that’s left is me, Park Sang-min, and a monster.

He drove his six legs deep into the hallway, raising his head to the ceiling.

I guess I thought I could live with it.

jump!

I took a picture of my leg.

jump! jump! jump!

Let its huge body collapse, so that its ugly head can reach my hand.

“Kiriririri…”

I slashed both axes at the same time at the head of the bastard who was about to get off the cub.

jump!

The first emotion I felt upon confirming the death of the monster was regret.

did something stupid

But the feeling of seeing the one I killed with my own hands convulse and disappear into glistening ash has given me more satisfaction than anything else in the world.

Especially when you kill a new guy no one has ever dealt with.

“…”

It seems he still misses the battlefield.

Even after seeing so many despairs.

“Are you okay?!”

At the edge of the light, Park Sang-min stood hesitantly.

“This is a real Hunter…”

The wound is shallow.

But it’s enough to get in the way.

The reason I didn’t feel the pain earlier was probably the result of the adrenaline rushing through my body at the time of the shot.

“This is shocking. To think that a real human could kill a monster alone… Really. This Park Sang-min! Impressed!”

“let’s go.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go.”

“Sah, are you saving me?”

“I’ve never said anything about killing. Although you have pointed a gun at me.”

It definitely made my heart go round.

Woo Min-hee No, more than that.

No, if I had this kind of heart, I wouldn’t be like this.

How many people have you let go because you couldn’t forgive that little thing?

Kang Min. and Na Hye-in.

They still haven’t forgiven me.

They wouldn’t forgive me either.

Park Sang-min tore off his suit and covered my wound.

“It doesn’t look like you got an artery. I have a doctor I know.”

“are you okay. This much can be treated alone.”

We entered the Capitol again.

A lot of things happened, but the two men didn’t say anything about their past.

Inside the Capitol, the capsule was still looking down at us, glistening with a disgusting grayish-white gloss, as if it were natural for the chairperson.

“…”

I can’t help it.

Maybe that’s some kind of symbol.

It seems to hint at the fate of this country.

Korea is over.

It ended a long time ago, but the monster is scorning us by pretending to be a coincidence as if it wants to destroy even its soul and roots.

There is nothing I can do in this situation.

It was a time when I tried to move my steps toward the outside while trying to turn away.

“Wait. Park Kyu Hunter.”

Park Sang-min, who was supporting me, suddenly left me and headed for the podium.

What are you trying to do?

Are you trying to betray me now?

You don’t even have a gun?

Or are they trying to get along by attacking the capsule?

In the midst of various ominous speculations, Park Sang-min chose an option I could never have imagined.

“Uracha!”

Park Sang-min, that former member of the National Assembly, lifted the capsule in the center of the Capitol.

“What are you doing?”

Holding a grayish-white object weighing several tens of kilograms, he staggered step by step toward the outside of the Capitol.

“I am Park Sang-min.”

“Put it down and come. He saved me at best.”

“no. I have to. It caught fire.”

“yes?”

“Seeing Park Gyu-hunter fighting, what should I say? We have to fight. We have to fight. This is what it feels like.”

“Do you want to die?”

“Just move this! I can go back here too!”

I think about it sometimes.

The scariest thing about destruction is not simple destruction, but the human heart that gets sick in the destruction.

It is a ruin that I have seen many times, but the form is different for each person.

Some people’s ruin is ugly, while others’ ruin is noble and beautiful.

Unlike the helpless legislators in the excerpts or misrepresentations seen in the hallway leading to the Capitol, Park Sang-min showed a stronger will to protect the constitution than any other senior member.

One Member of Parliament is trying to oust forces that are literally trying to destroy Parliament itself in order to remain in office.

He was as sincere in his election campaigns as he was in parliamentary activities.

“This scene. Please take a picture. Do you have a cell phone?”

“no. There are no batteries.”

Park Sang-min put down the capsule and suddenly took out his cell phone and threw it at me.

“What is it?”

“Aren’t you here to support campaign activities? Keep your duty. My election campaign is starting now!”

Because he said it so confidently, I forgot the pain of the wound and took out my cell phone to frame Park Sang-min who struggles to move the capsule.

thud!

Park Sang-min took a hard step and managed to speak with a blurry pronunciation that seemed like he was biting his tongue.

“Now I will walk on my feet! f*ck. It’s f*cking hard. I think my back will fall off! This is the true beginning of this Park Sang-min!”

thud!

“Not as a small ball thrown by his mother, but as a son who walks on his own.”

I watched silently.

Watching is all I can do.

It’s what he chose and it’s for him.

It is true that I supported him a little.

“I can see the Han River over there. As a representative of the people, I will plop this guy over there!”

One of Park Sang-min’s feet stepped outside the Capitol.

“Now, we are about to expel the villain who disturbs the constitutional order from the sacred Capitol. Please close up!”

The moment the screen was enlarged, the first thing that covered the frame was Park Sang-min’s smiling face.

how to say

It was the kind of smile that made me feel free.

It was on a different level from the awkward smile next to a child at the nursery school.

However, the white noise that suddenly exploded behind it covered the smile I was trying to make.

The capsule burst.

“This is the last appearance of your son.”

Park Sang-min’s mother didn’t say anything.

I just stared at the back of my son who was struggling to drive the capsule out of the Capitol with his harsh and strong eyes wide open that he could not pass on to his son.

The armored car arrived just in time, so I left.

Through the darkness, the crazy woman we saw earlier was approaching the old woman.

*It would be unfortunate for Park Sang-min, but the election did not happen.

This is because the anger that erupted only on the Internet was expressed in reality.

Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the government building to condemn the current situation.

All schedules were suspended, and the military blocked the crowd and pointed their guns at them.

“So, what happened to Park Sang-min? Are you dead? what about monsters? Killed?”

Defender, who had been listening to the story, insinuatedly asked through the communicator.

“Tell me quickly. Skeleton.”

His younger brother also showed strong interest.

“Um, what should I say?”

I thought about it for a while and calmly told my neighbor the last thing I remembered.

“So that’s what you mean.”

The ruined Capitol has been taken over by small monsters called spider-types.

The spider type is a standard monster that can be said to be the standard of a stationary monster, but the guy who dominated the National Assembly had a distinct difference from other entities.

It had horns, and it was attached to them like an accessory, whether it was pierced by a person or attached to it.

A few coincidences and misfortunes mixed together, and a man was stuffed into the monster’s horn, like the bow of a sailboat that sailed on the ocean.

I remember. The last appearance of a man named Park Sang-min inside the Capitol where the roof is open and the fleeting blue sky is visible.

With his eyes open, the monster named Park Sang-min, who had hardened on the horns, opened with a squeak, pouring out small spiders to fill the empty Capitol.

In other words, Park Sang-min, a man who has now become the National Assembly itself, is repeating the chaos of the pre-war era by sending out members to vote and reject.

“… now he has eight legs.”
