January 10, 2017.

At 4 PM, when the sun began to set in, the city of Bucheon used to still be crowded with people and vehicles.

Since yesterday, the snow had been falling all the time, and any traces of the living on the white open snowfield was only here and there, and faint.

There was no sense of life anywhere.

A city of the dead.

”Boss… it's too quiet,” Jang Sung-hoon said, unable to stay quiet. ”I hope not everyone in Bucheon is dead.”

Kim Tae-hoon put his gloved index finger on his mouth instead of replying to Jang Sung-hoon's repeated concerns.

Jang Sung-hoon shut up.

Looking at the world that was calm again, Kim Tae-hoon tutted quietly.

'What the hell happened here during this time?'

At the same time, Kim Tae-hoon recalled the events of the recent days.

After setting up the library as a base, Kim Tae-hoon had to spend busy days in the radical reform of the Mac Clan.

He had to present carrots and whips to the Awakeners who would be his hunting dogs, and he had to work to fortify the library that had become the base area.

He could not afford to go out to Bucheon City and do something.

It was the snow since yesterday that made him move.

Monsters were more like animals. Animals don't move easily on snowy days.

In other words, the snowy day was a good day to contact the survivors and avoid the threat of the monsters. When the snow came, Kim Tae-hoon prepared to come down to the city.

Their purpose was to contact the survivors, look at the situation, and get the necessary supplies.

Jang Sung-hoon accompanied him, saying he knew of the secret mansion of a damn rich man who played with art.

'It's so quiet, as Jang Sung-hoon says.'

He had enough concern about what would happen before he came to the city.

'This was not expected.'

But the situation was outside his expectations.

”If everything had been done by common sense, there must be a group of survivors here.”

Kim Tae-hoon thought that the downtown might be organized to some extent.

The scary thing about human beings was that they quickly adapted to the world through trial and error.

Even in a world full of monsters, even if the social infrastructure collapsed, he thought that someone would adapt.

Moreover, there was no huge disturbance that surprised Kim Tae-hoon.

For example, if a dragon had once again passed through the air, there would have been a great deal of confusion, but it did not happen. There was no sign of a monster that was so enormous that it could be heard even in the distance.

Moreover, Kim Tae-hoon and Jang Sung-hoon were gradually narrowing the distance to the New Jungdong Station.

The New Jungdong Station of Bucheon was a large commercial area, with department stores, large marts, and the Bucheon Wonmi Police Station, which was fairly large.

By common sense, there were few more suitable environments in Bucheon than New Jungdong Station area for survivors seeking to survive.

Kim Tae-hoon's footsteps stopped. At the same time, his hands went up. Jang Sung-hoon's footsteps also stopped at the signal.

Whi-ing!

In the cold wind blowing past them, Kim Tae-hoon's gaze turned to the snow piles that decorated the roads they wanted to travel.

There was nothing special to look at. It was snowy, piled up with fertilizer bags.

However, Kim Tae-hoon was sure that it was not a fertilizer bag under the snow.

He looked at the snow pile, his eyes sharp. He painted a picture, a picture of a big hand shaking a snow pile.

The things under the snow were revealed.

It was a dead body that had been frozen blue. It was not just a body... but a decapitated body.

”Ugh!” As soon as he checked the body, Jang Sung-hoon barely swallowed the vomit coming up in disgust. ”There must be a monster, damn it…”

At that moment, the image of a Mud Troll came up in the mind of Jang Sung-hoon.

A monster, which could not be killed with bullets, that pulled off the heads of people and ate them.

Jang Sung-hoon shivered in the trauma that he will carry for the rest of his life, and the snow piling up on the Werewolf leather he wore fell to the snow softly.

On the other hand, Kim Tae-hoon's expression was different. He did not recall the Mud Troll, who had only taken out the human head.

”It's not a monster,” Kim Tae-hoon said clearly. ”That was killed by a man.”

That body was not one which a monster made.

”Yes?”

Ignoring the surprised Jang Sung-hoon, Kim Tae-hoon looked around with great caution.

'Murder can happen.'

It is ridiculous to hope that murders would not happen in this situation. Murder would happen as much as possible.

'But cutting off the head is another story.'

But cutting the head off a corpse was another story because accidental murder to live did not make a neckless body...

”Aaaaaaargh!”

The scream was close by. Kim Tae-hoon rose from his crouch.

”Jang Sung-hoon.”

”Yes.”

”From now on, our enemy is human.”

At the words, Jang Sung-hoon made a determined expression, rather than a surprised one.
