14 Episode 14 - Hunter, Part I (2/2)

Two Goblins were eating there. Clinging to a frozen corpse, they were tearing and swallowing the flesh of the body, using their dog-like teeth.

It was a pretty nasty thing to see.

Goblins had the power and sharp teeth to bite the flesh out of a person, but that was based on the flesh of a living human being.

Bodies of frozen people were different, and there was no shortage of cold. It didn't even taste good, and their cries complained about it. It was hard to swallow the flesh that had been ripped off, because there was nothing good about chewing, swallowing, or filling their stomach. It was a meal to live.

The Goblins, who had been struggling to survive, suddenly grabbed their necks. ”Keck, keck!” The Goblins who gasped began to struggle to live.

”Hoooo!” At that moment, a young man appeared, took a short breath and hit the head of the Goblin with a baseball bat.

Pak! A single eyeball shot out of the Goblin's head halfway after the attack. The man used his momentum and hit the other one's head vertically.

Keck! Its open mouth was slammed closed. It bit off its own tongue, and its teeth were shattered. The Goblin dropped to the ground and spewed out blood like a fountain from its mouth.

Bang Hyun-wook made a circle with his hand.

Ahn Sun-mi appeared. She had a sharpened knife, turned the body of the fallen Goblin over to face the sky, and put a sharp knife into the pit of the Goblin's stomach. After that, she put her hand into the deep incision she had made. When she drew her arm out, gory to the elbow, a red jewel was caught at the end of her finger.

She did the same thing with the other Goblin, cutting into the softest part of the Goblin's body in its gut, and plunged her arm in up to the heart, taking a jewel out.

It was then that Kim Tae-hoon appeared. His right hand was holding a plastic lamp bottle, and he sprinkled kerosene on the Goblin body.

”I'm still wondering why you're spraying kerosene?”

”The only one who'll eat this body is a monster. I hope they eat them and get sick,” Kim Tae-hoon explained briefly.

In the meantime, Ahn Sun-mi wiped the blood off her hand with a towel and held out her palm to Kim Tae-hoon.

”Here.”

Kim Tae-hoon handed one of them to Bang Hyun-wook after he picked them up.

”Eat it.”

The two swallowed the monster stones, still warm with the blood of Goblins, without a word. They swallowed against the strong taste of blood that made them want to vomit.

Soon Bang Hyun-wook stroked the area near the pit of the stomach and said, ”I'm nearly full now.”

When Kim Tae-hoon started moving, the scenery that was unfolded in front of his party was the same as he had predicted.

The monsters were eating the frozen bodies as if they were possessed by something.

Kim Tae-hoon did not pass up such monsters. He hunted. And he put Bang Hyun-wook and Ahn Sun-mi on the front line.

”Bang Hyun-wook, watch out for the bat when you swing it. Never let go of the tension at the moment of attack.”

”Yes.”

”And Ahn Sun-mi.”

”Order me.”

”Stab these two dead eyes with that knife.”

At the words of Kim Tae-hoon, Ahn Sun-mi stabbed the red eye of the Goblin with the end-point of the knife without hesitation.

With the eerie sound of the eye being destroyed, red liquid flowed out of Goblin's eyes. It was like the tears of unjustly dead souls.

Bang Hyun-wook watched the scene and took a short breath. It was a sight that he could not easily get used to. That was why Kim Tae-hoon ordered it.

'I am glad they got used to it so quickly. Ahn Sun-mi is a doctor, so she is adapting quickly.'

Unlike Kim Tae-hoon, Bang Hyun-wook and Ahn Sun-mi were ordinary people until less than a day ago.

'The public basically has a rejection of killing, and many people are unable to arrange chicken that has already been slaughtered, and they cannot even defeather a chicken.'

They could not boldly stab a monster who was seeking their life. The momentary hesitation that happened then eventually cost them their lives.

Kim Tae-hoon wanted to give Bang Hyun-wook and Ahn Sun-mi the experience of slaughter. It was an experience that human beings would normally never need to build up, but now they could not help it. From now on, they would have to kill something to live.

”And that's your destination, isn't it?”

In addition, there were not only monsters to worry about.

”We'll take a nap for a while and move on.”

”What? We'll arrive at the military base if we move just a little bit more.”

”No guard welcomes anyone who appears at night. If I had command of that army right now, and if any men approached at night, I would order them to fire if there was no answer two seconds after the warning.”

There was no guarantee that the soldiers of the military base, their destination, would welcome survivors. If the military base was operating normally now, it would set up on guard. The guards would be extremely nervous, because the price of a mistake was no longer running around the training ground with a military bag, nor canceled out by a day's vacation or long vacation.

”Take a break.”

Above all, Kim Tae-hoon and his party were quite tired, and they needed a break. It took some energy to run away or fight.

”When the sun starts to rise, we approach the military base.”

Kim Tae-hoon found a place to take a nap for a while, but there was no suitable building to sleep. In the end, Kim Tae-hoon made an SUV vehicle into a lodging shelter. After opening the locked door with Telekinesis, the three entered the vehicle.

The car was cold, but it was warmer than any other place nearby, as they had been hunting a long distance through the bitterly cold wind. It was the first break that they had taken, but the rest was not long.

Blam! By the time dawn was barely up, the gunfire that rang out instead of a rooster's cry woke them with the sun.
