Debut or Die - Chapter 247
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 247
Day 1 of the uninhabited island.
Kwagwawang!!
Outside the villa, it is still raining like crazy.
‘It’s fortunate that the guy who built this has a very thorough mind for his own safety.’
Still, the villa was in good shape, so it was fortunate.
I held my breath and lay down in the living room.
Cha Yoo-jin lies down next to him in the same way.
[It’s good to think like this. The outside is ruined by the zombie apocalypse! That’s why we live in this comfortable shelter by ourselves.]
“Yes. It is very comforting.”
“Hi-Hi!”
don’t laugh man
I laughed out loud, but it was a bit complicated in my head.
‘What about shooting?’
If a few days’ worth flies like this, it’s really ruined… … … .
[Hyung, you can’t shoot right now anyway. Relax~ and have a good time.]
“… !”
[There is no need to worry about things that people cannot do.]
… You speak very categorically.
I kept my mouth shut for a while, then looked outside and admitted it was raining.
‘What will I do with the weather?’
It was organized anyway, but it wouldn’t be a big deal if you cut off a variety show. You should do the following well.
“okay. You are right.”
“that’s right!”
I lay in the living room watching the rain and passed the time until mealtime without thinking.
and lunchtime.
All seven of us are eating the same preserved food, and it really feels like we’re in some kind of disaster movie.
“Hmm, shall we go to the barn and see if there are any eggs?”
“Sejin is being swept away.”
“yes.”
Time flies after two uninspiring meals.
In addition, the smartphone data service, which was already slow, started to stutter even more.
‘I feel so isolated… .’
Thanks, there’s really nothing to do.
I was in charge of preparing meals today and was exempted from cleaning up, so I sat in the living room with the best view of the weather and thought.
I’ve run out of board games and I can’t go outside to get food… .
Jiying. Took.
“… !!”
at that time.
Suddenly the surroundings became dark.
“Huh??”
“Is everyone okay?”
It was a blackout.
Since it is an uninhabited island, there is no other light source outside at night. Totally pitch black darkness.
I immediately raised my upper body.
At that moment, someone grabbed my shoulder.
“… !”
“brother!”
“okay.”
… This is Yoojin Cha. I was bringing laundry into the living room.
After checking the voice, I recognized the voices of the others.
“Guys, don’t move for a moment and let’s adapt to the dark.”
This is Liu Cheng-wu.
“yes yes… !”
“Wow, if it had been 5 seconds faster, it would have stopped while washing dishes.”
This is Sun Ah-hyun and big Se-jin.
Cha Yoo-jin is by her side and Kim Rae-bin is on the sofa.
All that remains… … .
‘Bae Se-jin?’
At that moment, the sound of holding back a scream was heard along with the sound of a fall from below.
ugh!
“… !”
“brother!”
Fortunately, the voice that came back was fine.
“… are you okay!”
I was just shaking a bit. I shouted in the direction of the sound.
“What’s going on?”
“I saw this strange thing… no don’t come! I’ll go.”
“no. anybody home.”
you don’t move
I turned on the flashlight function on my smartphone and got up.
“let’s go together!”
It’s okay to go together, but don’t strangle others.
I put Cha Yu-jin on and joined the others who ran after seeing the light and moved quickly.
“Is Sejin hyung there?”
Bae Se-jin was lying on the floor in an ambiguous position. It must have been because of the darkness that the flashlight of the smartphone turned on.
“Are your legs okay?”
“… are you okay. No problem.”
Bae Se-jin, as he said, grabbed Ryu’s hand and got up from his seat, but he looked a little nervous.
“excuse me… I think I pushed something as I fell.”
Bae Se-jin swallowed.
“Something like that… come out.”
I immediately moved the light on my smartphone in the direction he was pointing.
A half-push cabinet.
And after that… door?
What was revealed to the light was a dark-colored fire door.
“Huh”
“What is this?”
It seems that the reason Bae Se-jin was able to find it was because of the soft luminous light on the floor. It seems that some kind of luminous paint was used.
“Wow, what kind of secret room is this?”
“I think they use it for evacuation!”
“It’s plausible.”
Those who were whispering soon made a very common sense decision that ‘it’s private property, so it’s better not to go into it’.
‘… It seems to lead underground.’
Structurally, it seems that the area beyond that door was a wild flower path.
Big Sejin murmured eeriely from behind.
“Isn’t this just like that? Why is it isolated in a snowy mountain hut, but an incident occurs at a hidden door… 100 million!”
“no.”
Horrible… no, don’t say nonsense
I slapped Sejin on the back and returned to the living room.
The other guys also followed along, stopping in their respective rooms to find their smartphones.
“phew.”
“Shall I use this to find a flashlight?”
“I was in the pantry by the front door. I’ll bring it.”
“Ohhh~”
After securing a flashlight thanks to Ryu Cheong-woo’s performance, it became a bit livable.
The problem is that there is no means to recharge the smartphone at this time.
‘I should save it.’
The electricity is out, so there’s nothing to do. I clicked my tongue.
“Well, it could be dangerous, so shall we sleep together?”
“All in favor~”
“Tell me a scary story!”
That day, we gathered in the living room and went to bed.
Cha Yu-jin said that she would tell a scary story in English, so she consumed extra energy to pass on the translation.
and the next morning.
The situation took a more frenzied turn.
“Every chicken coop… !”
“Huh? Are you floating?”
It had rained for two days and the water had filled the front yard.
Thanks to this, the chicks that had flowed out through the open barn door in the strong wind were about to float and be swept down the yard.
The yellow lumps on the flowing muddy water are getting further and further away… .
Twisted and tight!!
The chicken crows pitifully.
“No!!”
“I have to save you… !”
In the end, out of urgency, they all rushed out to the barn together in pajamas, without umbrellas or raincoats.
‘I’ll be thrilled.’
“catch! catch!”
“Guys, be careful not to fall! Get down!”
The good thing was that they were constantly exercising, so no one got their heads stuck in the muddy water.
And the chicks were all rescued after twists and turns.
I will only say that Cha Yoo-jin and Ryu Chung-woo played an active role.
“thank god!”
“Whoa… .”
The guys with yellow lumps in both hands waddled to the barn and tried to restore it.
“Whew, I’m glad.”
“We also bring eggs with us!”
I wonder what’s the use of wringing the water out of my clothes when I’m getting rain all over my body, but anyway, they were proud of themselves as they cleaned up their faces.
and… it’s an egg
‘hmm.’
I said, shaking my head.
“Shall we eat one?”
“yes?”
“Uh huh??”
“Since there are five hens, I thought I could catch one.”
“… !!”
With 7 adults, you won’t be able to catch a single chicken.
Rabin Kim nodded.
“That’s a good idea. Eating too much preserved food is not good for your health. … .”
“No!! No! No!!”
“Oh my God, how could you say that about these little chicks you just rescued!!”
“I don’t understand what they are saying. And aren’t you raising them to eat them all?”
And when it comes to catching chickens, it’s funny how the guys who would love it the most oppose it the most.
Cha Yu-jin was the most fiercely opposed.
“I am not eating!! You are raising them well!”
This guy passionately explained the parable of ‘The Little Prince and the Rose’ while mixing English.
[These chickens are special to us, just like the little prince’s rose is special?!]
Oh, ok.
“Haha yes. Let’s get some eggs.”
After Ryu Cheong-woo’s tidying up, Kim Rae-bin secretly whispered to me.
“I strongly suggest not distributing the chickens to Cha Yoo-jin when they are killed.”
“… … .”
Anyway, it means that I went through the uproar and grabbed the egg and returned to the room.
But another ambush awaits.
“… The water was cold.”
“Iknow, right.”
There was no hot water, probably because of the power outage, so I had cold water friction. Bae Se-jin, who showers with hot water even in midsummer, seems to have had quite a shocking experience.
‘I can’t go on like this.’
It was fortunate that the kitchen turned on gas, not induction, so the rice was warmed up, but this also has its limits.
So after the meal, I spoke to the guys who filled their stomachs with white rice, half-boiled fries and red pepper tuna.
“First of all, what should I do with electricity?”
“… yes.”
“You are right, but… I have no special expertise.”
okay. It’s a problem because everyone’s job group overlaps. An ambiguous silence passed between the guys who devoted their lives to arts and sports.
At that time, Bae Se-jin spoke with a worried face.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to post something like a toad house?”
“oh.”
“Oh, maybe!”
okay. There is also a possibility that the distribution panel breaker is tripped type of problem.
I’ve been supplying electricity with solar power, but the last few days, the electricity has been cut off… .’ stopped while making quite pessimistic reasoning.
‘Then it might be easier than I thought.’
Liu Chengwu crossed his arms.
“Um, where are you? I couldn’t see it under the porch or on the outer wall.”
“W Shall I ask… ?”
As he said, he tried to text the PD, but failed frequently. It seems that the signal is not being picked up well.
“Has the device been damaged by the strong wind?”
“Maybe it’s because it’s such a remote place. You haven’t been caught a few times so far.”
“Mmm.”
I thought about it for a while, but soon came to a conclusion.
“I have nothing to do anyway, so let’s look for a toad house.”
“Let’s do that~”
So the guys, roughly divided into two or three, brought a flashlight one by one and started exploring every nook and cranny of the house.
I’ll find it before it goes down.
* * *
“Hmm, no?”
“… … .”
why can’t you see
– There’s a high chance we’ll find it, right?
-okay.
I was in charge of searching the first floor with Kim Rae-bin.
And these were usually in the corner of the first floor.
But even after wandering around for quite a long time, I couldn’t see the division board.
“Is there a possibility that you are on another floor?”
“It could be, but… .”
If it’s a house, isn’t it usually on the lower floors?
At that time, Kim Rae-bin raised his hand.
“Could it be inside the secret door that Bae Se-jin discovered last time?”
“… … !”
“Oh, it could be.”
I pictured a dull-colored fire door hidden behind a cabinet.
‘surely… There is a possibility.’
It seems to lead underground, so there is a boiler room, and a distribution board may have been installed there.
“Shall we go?”
“… okay.”
Together with them, I headed to the corner of the hallway where the cabinet was.
The further we went in that direction, the darker there were no windows. Even in the daytime, I had to turn on the flashlight.
“I brought it well~ It almost scared me!”
“Visibility is also important.”
I arrived in front of the cabinet in no time. When the half-pull cabinet was pushed away, a fairly large fire door was revealed under the light of a flashlight.
‘… It’s a bit excessive to say it’s the entrance to the boiler room.’
“Should I open it?”
“… are you okay.”
The person holding the flashlight would have better open it.
I grabbed the handle of the fire door and turned it.
The door was not locked.
profit.
The door opened with a reluctant sound, as if it did not open often.
Inside, it was dark and quiet without a fire.
When I shined the inside with a flashlight, I could see the stairs going down in the dark.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… Are you a little scared?”
no, it’s because of the mood
“let’s go.”
“for a moment!”
“How about joining the people who are all searching elsewhere and moving together?”
“Mundae, you’re scared too~ You can see it all on your face, right?”
Because the two nerds actively insisted, I waited for a while and joined the search team on the second floor.
“Oh here.”
“WOW It’s dark!”
Bae Se-jin and Cha Yoo-jin.
It’s doubtful that that combination has completed the search on the second floor, but… Anyway, since I joined, let’s go in.
At the age of five, we held the fire door open and walked down the stairs, relying on the light from our flashlights.
The temperature was low, perhaps because it was underground, and there was a rusty fishy smell somewhere.
Tboob.
“Why did you make this here?”
“It must be the owner’s taste.”
“It doesn’t.”
Tboob.
“… I was just thinking about it.”
“yes.”
Bae Se-jin stopped.
“Why did this person bother to build such a villa on an uninhabited island… ?”
“… … .”
In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.
“… Well, you must have liked something quieter~”
“But you provided it for entertainment purposes.”
Bae Se-jin said with an expression as if he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
“If you like being quiet, I don’t do that.”
“… … .”
Everyone was quiet again, but soon desperate defenses came out here and there.
“I am a person who likes entertainment!”
“You may have a very close acquaintance at the station!”
“… yes. sorry.”
Bae Se-jin quietly kept his mouth shut.
I turned my slightly stiff neck and pointed forward.
“I think everything came down.”
“Ah.”
The stairs ended before I knew it and the floor came out.
A huge cavity… It looked like wooden boxes were piled up all over the place.
“Oh, is it a warehouse?”
“It seems so.”
The voices of the others brightened as if they were a little relieved.
‘Squadron… .’
And I kept looking for the wall and turning the flashlight on until I made an unexpected discovery.
“… !”
“Huh?”
It was another door. even double doors.
There was nothing special about it. But what leaked under the door… .
Big Sejin said in a trembling voice.
“… Isn’t that blood?”
blood?
A really dark red liquid was dripping down the floor under the door.
“… … .”
After recognizing it, I realized what I had thought was rusty smell until now.
‘iron content.’
Blossom.
“… !!”
“Aaaagh!!”
“Ahhh!!”
A frightened scream filled the cavity.
I staggered back.
‘Declaration… .’
Where the hell are you reporting it? what’s this?
[My God, what the hell is this XX! It’s blood!!]
“I said it was weird!! Aww!!”
“Go up, go up right now… !”
at that time.
Click.
Suddenly the fire returned.
In an instant, my vision became clear.
“… ??”
“uh?”
It was a very dim light. In an instant, the atmosphere turned upside down.
What I thought was a gloomy warehouse… It was quite a sensuously designed seller.
“… ?!”
The wooden boxes I saw earlier also seem to have been stacked for a pure atmosphere.
A storage room with a nice interior.
And the door I saw… … .
“… Is it a freezer?”
Yes.
What I mistook for a door… It was a modern gray, glossy freezer.
“… … .”
I strode over and opened the freezer door.
My nose felt cool as if there was still a bit of cold left in it.
And as the various sausages and meat melted, I could see the blood draining out and flowing down.
It was the source of the fishy smell.
“… … .”
“… … .”
A long silence passed.
“Oh, you were right here.”
“It’s nothing. I found a toad house… !”
“… Guys?”
“There… ?”
Until the guys from the 3rd floor exploration team who found the power distribution board came down here, the rest of them stood in vain and chewed on their foolishness.
I won’t deny the fact that I was among the rest… .
* * *
“But there is a lot of meat.”
“It was a problem because I mistook it for human meat.”
Be quite.
After coming to my senses, I took out the edible meat that had not yet melted from the freezer.
I’ll have to ask the owner of this villa for his understanding later, but since it’s a natural disaster, I’ll be able to understand him to some extent.
“Look! Good thing I didn’t catch you!”
“… … I know.”
I silently affirmed when I saw the frozen native chicken that Cha Yu-jin lifted up.
“The refrigerator above is running again, so let’s move some food.”
“Yeah~”
‘But it’s a relief that I don’t have that idiot look… .’
I was relieved internally, but soon realized that it was in vain.
… These days, cameras last longer than expected.
