Chapter 231 – Discovery
The monster that transformed into a four-legged mass of flesh quickly closed the distance.
Thinking that they would be caught up by the monster at this rate, Philip and the others left the road and entered an alley between buildings.
However, those who tried to escape through that place had no choice but to hesitate.
It was because a wall of grotesque flesh was blocking the end of the alley.
It’s a dead end road.
A flesh monster will soon follow.
There is no time.
Philip quickly looked around.
At the top, I could see an external iron staircase attached to the side of the building.
Philip kicked off the wall of the opposite building, jumped up, grabbed the handrail of the iron stairway, and climbed up the stairs.
It was a feat that was possible because he was a supernatural awakening person.
A four-legged fleshy monster appeared in the alley and ran towards Richard.
“Hurry!”
Philip’s urgent cry.
Richard quickly threw Edward up.
Philip easily grabbed Edward’s arm and pulled him up.
Richard jumped up the stairs, stepping on the wall like Philip, avoiding the flesh monster that was rushing at him by a hair’s breadth.
The moment I thought I had taken a deep breath.
The flesh monster that lost sight of Richard wriggles again.
Then it was crushed like it was melting, and it started to climb up, clinging to the wall like a chewing gum.
Seeing this, Philip and his party were stunned and hurriedly climbed up the stairs.
Once on the roof, Philip quickly looked around.
I saw a clean building next to it, not covered with flesh.
There was some distance to the roof of the building, but it was not a big problem for Philip and Richard, who were awakened.
Philip jumped from the roof first and lightly landed on the building across the street.
Seeing this, Richard threw Edward at Philip.
“100 million!”
Surprised, Edward swallowed a gasp.
Seeing that Philip lightly took Edward, Richard also jumped across.
When I looked at the building I had crossed, I saw a flesh monster creeping up to the roof.
They quickly opened the door on the roof of the building, went inside, closed the door, locked it, and went downstairs.
While looking around, Philip and his party found an office-like place and went inside and closed the door.
Then, he moved between the office desks and lowered himself so that his body could not be seen.
“Heo-euk! Heo-euk!”
Only the rough breathing of the men could be heard in the quiet office.
-Thumping pounding.
The sound of a fast beating heart rang in his ears.
Philip crouched down like that and quietly listened to the outside for a while, but he didn’t feel anything special.
‘Did I bully you?’
I slowly raised my head and looked around.
It was quiet in the dark office.
It was dark with the curtains drawn, but perhaps because it was daytime, the soft sunlight did not obstruct the view.
Philip and the others quietly stood up.
Moving cautiously, Philip gently pulls back the office curtains and looks outside.
I saw a desolate street and a building on the other side covered in strange flesh.
“I think it’s okay. But just in case you don’t know, let’s rest here for a while and move on.”
Only then, feeling relieved, Philip and his party sat down on the floor, took out a protein bar and water from their bag, and took a light break while drinking.
After replenishing their stamina for a while, Philip and the others began to look around to see if they felt a little more relaxed.
The act of looking inside the building to see if there was anything useful was like a habit of a survivor.
Edward also looked around and opened the bathroom door.
“Big!”
Zombies came out of the bathroom and attacked Edward.
“Ugh!!”
“Edward!”
Seeing this, Philip was startled and tried to run, but it was a distance he could not reach in time.
Edward seemed to die from being bitten by a zombie.
That moment.
– Woe!
The zombie’s body suddenly caught fire and was covered in flames in an instant.
“Keeck!!”
The zombies, engulfed in flames and struggling, were charred and collapsed on the floor.
Edward was on the brink of death, but…
No one was happy, and only awkward silence passed between them.
It was because there was only one reason why this absurd phenomenon happened.
“Edward…You…Were you a psychic?”
Philip’s voice was mixed with subtle anger.
“Pi, Phillip…”
Edward’s awkward expression.
Philip realized that Edward had tricked him. And he knew instinctively that he was the culprit who set the food warehouse on fire.
“Thuck King!! As Hole!!”
Philip couldn’t contain his rage and thrust his fist into Edward’s face.
“Kuuk!”
“Edward! You bastard! I trusted you! You tricked me?!”
“Pi, Phillip. Please, please…”
“Shut up!!”
Park Woon-ho, how much that child will laugh at himself for this…
In addition, when Edward Lee was pointed out as the culprit by Park Woon-ho, he was covered up and even accused of being gay.
When Philip thought about it, anger surged to the tip of his head.
As it was, Philip, who climbed on top of Edward’s chest, pounded his face repeatedly with his fist.
-Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
In the meantime, the shame and resentment I received from Park Woon-ho burst out in a harsh place.
“Cuck! Cuck!”
Even though Edward could use psychic powers, for some reason he didn’t fight back and just got hit.
Eventually, after seeing Philip’s one-sided beating, Richard stopped him.
“Stop it, Philip.”
“Whoop! Whoop!”
Edward’s face was swollen, his nose and mouth stained with blood.
“Sorry, sorry… Ha, but the story of Shelter is not a lie.”
Philip and Richard quietly glared at him.
“I’ll tell you the whole truth. I escaped from Future Industries. To call the rescue team.”
“Heh… You son of a bitch, it was a lie from beginning to end.”
Edward said he had never been to Seattle before this avalanche occurred.
“God, it’s real that he fell into the lake avoiding monsters.”
“Only one of them?”
Philip is sarcastic.
“Why the hell did you do that?”
Richard asked.
I’m talking about setting fire to the food warehouse.
“I didn’t have time.”
“Hour?”
“I have a sister in Future Industries. I escaped from Seattle and realized there were no lifeguards.”
“What does that have to do with setting the fire?”
“Since my sister is here, Philip would have come right here if I had asked for help?”
“That…”
To be honest, it’s highly likely that he didn’t come.
The story of Shelter was fascinating, but…
The food situation at the camp before the food storage was burnt down was quite plentiful… I wonder if I could have come more leisurely than I do now, making plans slowly.
“Unlike you, my sister doesn’t have time. She probably won’t have much food anymore. No, she might have run out by now.”
“Fuck! That’s why you set fire to the food warehouse?!”
Edward drove the camp into a corner because of his sister.
Even if there are circumstances, there is no exoneration.
“I’m sorry about that. But if you just get Shelter’s master key, everything will be solved. My sister has Shelter’s master key. And she also has a doctor’s license!”
“Huh…You son of a bitch…”
Edward was appealing that advantage in order to somehow save his sister.
“Hu… Richard… I’m sorry. It’s all my mistake. What are you going to do? I’ll do as you say. If you want to return like this, I’ll go back.”
“That, that. My, please.”
Hearing that Philip is returning, Edward makes a desperate expression.
“Fuck! Shut up! Edward, you have no say.”
It was said that there was an explanation that wasn’t an explanation, but there was no way that Philip’s sense of betrayal and trust in Edward could be restored.
“Philip, let’s get Shelter’s master key.”
Edward’s face brightens at Richard’s decision.
“Go, thank you! Mr. Richard! Mr. Philip!”
“Fuck! Edward! Shut that mouth!”
“Yes.”
Richard seems to have decided to trust this guy one more time. Or maybe he thought that he should confirm that he came all the way here.
‘The story of wanting to save his sister seems to be true… But is the story that his sister has the master key is also true?’
Philip, who had already come to distrust Edward, had his doubts, but he agreed to abide by Richard’s decision, and he had no intention of going back.
“Okay, Richard, I follow your thinking.”
Richard nodded.
Then suddenly the inside of his office went dark.
Feeling strange, Philip and Richard held their breath and looked around sharply.
But aside from the darkening, nothing in particular had changed.
Even if the day gets dark, it doesn’t get dark so drastically.
‘Are there clouds?’
Philip looked at his watch.
It was now 3pm.
It’s still early to get dark.
Philip pulled back his curtains and looked outside.
“!!!”
Surprised, Philip hastily closed the curtains.
“Why?”
Richard asked.
“I’m outside.”
Richard tilts back at Philip’s sudden remark, pulls back the curtains, and looks outside.
Likewise, he quickly closed the curtain right away.
“Um…”
Richard let out a sigh.
Philip had an ominous feeling.
I peeked at the other window as well, with the curtains pulled back.
And his face was distorted.
I wondered if the other places would be okay, so I left the office and carefully looked inside the building.
As expected, a mass of flesh was clinging to the outside of the building, wriggling around it.
“…I’m trapped…”
