I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons - Chapter 310
One more step.
Bubbly.
Now, the distance from the bride is only about 2 meters.
The man’s eyes shone like a wolf. The man sat down on the floor and reached for the sack.
The bride looked at him and laughed.
“That’s stupid.”
The priest pulled the trigger at the man’s head.
Clap!
Instead of a gunshot, a hollow rattle sounded.
“What?”
The bride’s complexion changed. he pulled the trigger again.
Clap! Clap!
The hollow metal sound that still echoes.
“Are you sure it’s full of bullets? Why why?”
The man staggered to his feet, using the ax as a walking stick.
His feelings reached me.
There was no way that gun could fire.
The bullets he had were used up when he killed Eve’s parent zombies when he first met Eve. The gun she was holding was a
threatening weapon, carved out of wood into the shape of a bullet and painted with paint. “There is only
one real bullet.”
The man pointed at the bullet he was wearing around his neck.
The man’s last bullet.
But bullets not his.
The cross worn by the priest and the bullet worn by the man shone in the light of the electric lamp, as if contrasting with each other.
The man raised an axe.
“Oh don’t come! this eve! Bring Eve!”
The priest turned his back and tried to run to Eve.
But the man wouldn’t let it go.
The man struck the axe down.
Kwajik! Slam!
The axe cut off the bride’s arm holding the pistol, and blood spurted wildly
.
The man screamed and tried to suffocate the bride who fled out of the shelter.
“Standing there… coke!”
But then he vomited black blood again like a waterfall and lost consciousness.

“Mister. Are you really going?”
Peter looked at
the man with weeping eyes.
The man glanced at Eve, who was mingling with the children, and gently stroked Peter’s head.
“Then take care of Eve.”
That
was the first smile of the man I saw.
The man left Eden behind and left Eden alone.
I followed the man.
Although
he was like a ghost who had no influence in this world, I wanted to protect his end. Clutching the bullet, he muttered, “Wait,
I
‘ll
be there soon.”
The man walked during the day, and when the sun went down, he carefully held his breath while crouching in a cave or building.
Sometimes zombies appear.
The man coughed up blood and smashed their heads with an ax as if wringing out his last strength.
One day passes and another comes.
And then another day comes again.
The man finally arrived at his destination after spending most of his remaining time.
It was a house where a man lived with his beloved wife and daughter in the past.
The man struggled to the basement.
The door to the cellar was locked with a padlock. The man rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a key.
click.
profit.
The rusty lock was torn open with difficulty, and the cellar door, which had been closed for a long time, opened.
There was a terrible stench, but the man didn’t mind and went inside.
The man lit a lantern.
A chain and a female zombie tied to it were reflected on the other side of the cellar wall.
– sniff sniff! Sniff sniff!
Then, as if in response to the smell of the man’s flesh, the zombie got up.
“I’m sorry honey, it’s too late, right?”
The man in the past left the place as if he was running away without being able to kill her. But
that was
n’t the case.
He had to give
his beloved wife peace
.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
… Cheolguk!
The zombie reached out to grab the man, but the chain prevented it from reaching it. The man pointed a gun at the zombie’s head.
“Has it been painful for you? I’ll make it easy for you soon.”
The man’s trembling finger moved toward the trigger.
“Don’t worry, I’ll follow soon.”
It was the moment the man was about to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, his face contorted in pain.
The man illuminated his feet with a lantern with wide eyes.
I saw a child crawling on the floor.
It was his daughter, who died after being gutted by his wife.
Woo-woo-woo-deuk!
The child was now grabbing the man’s leg and tearing at his flesh.
“Mah……Li?”
The man called the child’s name with a voice mixed with crying.
His
body lost his balance and fell forward
.
-Kyaa
!
Breathing heavily, the man thought.
Would it be quicker to die from poison?
Or is it faster to turn into a zombie?
Beside the man who had chained himself, lay the dismembered corpse of a woman and child.
A faint smile crept across the man’s lips.
After a long time, the family finally got together.
“It should have been done this way from the beginning.”
The man picked up the handgun that had fallen on the floor with his only hand
.
The self-help man closed his eyes. A cool gun was aimed at his temple.
Kirik.
He was about to pull the trigger.
Bubbly.
Then I heard small footsteps.
Iron gruck iron gruck.
And the familiar sound of dragging a chain across the floor.
The man opened his eyes.
In her feverish eyes, she faintly reflected the presence descending into the basement.
it was eve
Why is Eve here, who should be in the shelter?
The man thought this was a vision right before his death.
The man opened his dry lips.
However, the tongue, hardened like a stone, which was becoming a zombie, did not move easily.
“mi. iced coffee. Do it.”
The word she barely uttered was the limit.
Eve captured the man bound by chains with empty emerald eyes
.
남자가 희미하게 미소 지으며 권총의 방아쇠를 당기려 했다.
하지만 그 순간 남자는 보았다.
이브의 뒤로 은밀하게 다가오는 그림자를.
한쪽 팔이 없는 노인 넝마처럼 헤진 신부복과 목에 걸린 빛바랜 십자가가 남자의 눈동자에 박혔다.
에덴에서 남자에게 한쪽 팔을 잃고 달아났던 신부였다.
눈알이 녹아내려 텅 빈 눈동자에서 사나운 어둠이 넘실거렸다.
좀비 바이러스에 감염된 전형적인 증상이다. 바이러스에 감염된 인간은 저 신부처럼 안구가 녹아 내린다.
지금 열에 들뜬 그의 눈동자처럼.
남자는 갈등했다.
좀비에 민감한 이브라면 비명을 지르거나 도망쳤을 것이다.
이건 죽어 가는 자신이 보는 환상이다.
저런 환상을 위해 인간으로서 죽기 위한 이 마지막 총알을 낭비할 순 없었다.
-키아아!
신부가 이브의 머리를 향해 아가리를 벌렸다.
남자는 무의식적으로 선택했다.
한 발의 총성이 울렸다.
탕!
이브는 멍한 눈으로 사슬에 묶인 남자를 보고 있었다.
하지만 그는 이미 이브가 알고 있던 남자가 아니었다.
남자가 다시 이브를 향해 손을 뻗었다.
채 한 뼘의 거리를 두고 그의 손이 닿지 않았다.
남자가 카악카악 괴성을 지르며 눈동자가 녹아 어둠만이 넘실거리는 눈으로 이브를 노려보았다.
지하실로 한 줄기 바람이 스며들었다.
남자가 과거에 만든 이마의 상처가 바람에 말려 스르륵 가려졌다.
이브는 한참 동안이나 남자의 모습을 보고 또 보았다.
다음 날.
굳게 잠긴 지하실의 문 앞에는 주인을 잃어버린 도끼와 녹슨 사슬 개 목걸이가 놓여 있었다.

The End]
지구 대한민국의 부활 병원의 최상층 특수 병실.
그곳에는 모든 이들에게 잊혔지만 지구에서 유일하게 그 남자를 기억하고 있는 인간이 있었다.
헌터가 존재했던 세계에서는 미라클이라 불렸던 백발의 여인 유미래.
그녀가 운명 개변하기 전 창조신의 화신인 사신에게서 받았던 책의 마지막 페이지를 보며……..
“정말 이렇게 끝낼 생각인가요?”
asked.
“Single God.”
Then, as if answering, words were scribbled on the blank page.
[
No.]
Anecdotal. Thank you for all this time!
In the basement where only darkness fell. I gave up my last chance to die as a human being to live. Before Eve left, I heard Eve weakly whisper to the zombie man
,
”
Ah
…
dad
.
”
Feeling like crying, I knelt down.
I couldn’t do anything in this tragedy.
