To gather ingredients, the two of them returned to their shelter. On the way back, Yohan stopped by a rice field he had taken note of earlier. Sure enough, the plants there were squirming vigorously, some appeared sentient, others seemed highly poisonous. Buoyed by the success of purifying the apple, Yohan exclaimed, “There might be some decent leafy greens to eat here. If we’re going to lure Mr. Yoon Seungryong, we should prepare a proper spread.” “Alright. Then stay here for a…- 297.5 K • Completed
- Too busy gnawing on the platform soaked with pork scent, Yoon Seungryong didn’t respond. Lee Hyunmook spotted a large chunk of cave wall lying nearby, picked it up, and tested its weight in his hand. Then, without hesitation, he hurled it straight at Yoon Seungryong. It didn’t just go thwack, it landed with a sound like an explosion as it smashed into the back of Yoon Seungryong’s head. SCREEEEECH! The centipede monster flailed violently, half-collapsing over the platform in pain. Even Yohan,…

- As soon as Lee Hyunmook stomped down on Yoon Seungryong’s neck, he mercilessly subdued him. Yohan gasped in silent horror and scrambled to begin purifying him. If he wanted to ease even a little of Yoon Seungryong’s pain, swift purification was the best he could do. Yohan cautiously placed his hand on Yoon Seungryong’s body. A shimmering corona of radiant white light began to flow from his palm and seep into him. Yoon Seungryong, who had been thrashing and growling viciously, suddenly went…

- “…Damn.” Lee Hyunmook, unusually flustered, came to a sudden stop. Alarmed by the unexpected turn of events, Yohan stretched his neck and looked around anxiously. “Was that an earthquake?” “No, this is probably…” Yohan’s eyes and mouth fell open. The ground trembled violently, and the canyon ahead was collapsing. No, moving. With a deep, thunderous rumble, the path that connected to the next zone disappeared right before their eyes. The monsters, their escape cut off, went…

- Lee Hyunmook quickly cleared the debris and uncovered two or three intact medicine bottles. However, after skimming the ingredients, he casually tossed them aside. Instead, he searched a treatment cart in the nearby hallway and found a bundle of sterile gauze and proper disinfectant supplies. Yohan placed the precious medical items into his backpack and gripped the straps anxiously. “What were those pills you threw away earlier?” “Thyroid hormone medication and diabetes meds. Why, do you need…

- “I’m thinking of heading to the hospital now. I don’t really know much about medicine, but I should be able to find at least disinfectants, bandages, or painkillers, right? Or a pharmacy would be fine too.” Chattering away, Yohan walked on. Other than yesterday’s attack from the frog monster, things had gone smoothly while wandering with Hyunmook, and that gave him a bit more courage. As they moved, he kept an eye out for buildings that seemed worth searching. “Restaurants would be good…

- The monster’s transparent upper body, shaped like an IV bag, swayed atop a lower half made of what looked like multiple human legs stitched together. Its crude, clay-like face was studded with several narrow, cataract-clouded eyes. Then, with a violent motion, it swung its two long pairs of arms and lunged to squeeze Lee Hyunmook’s torso. But Lee Hyunmook’s movements were even faster. Snap! As if he had expected the ambush, Lee Hyunmook grabbed one of the flailing arms mid-air and crushed it…

- “Oh, so… we’re not supposed to go in because it’s dangerous, right?” Catching on to the warning at once, Yohan turned away. After trying three different buildings, he was finally allowed entry into one. Clutching his backpack strap tightly, Yohan stepped inside and cautiously swept his flashlight around the interior. The building was practically a ruin. Dust had piled up thickly, and the worn-out furniture looked like it had been abandoned for decades. The calendar barely hanging on the…
