A new quest appeared but they had a different problem..!

"RUN!!"

The group ran forward at his signal.

Cale wanted to follow as well, but the guy was behind him..

"Is there something on my face?.."
His voice was shaky.

He didn't want to die so early on.

The man's face was fierce.

[Personalities and actions are not accurate to the original.]

Cale pushed himself to move.

The man was dangerous, and he knew that.

'!!'

A arm wrapped around his waist.

Cale looked back.

"Don't leave me this time.."
He hugged him tightly.

'Damn it! What the hell does be want?!'
A tried pushing him aside but the man didn't budge.

"Hey! Hey! Let's talk this out, why don't we?!"
Cale panicked.

"No.. you'll run away.."
His grip got tighter.

"Argh!"

The man stopped.

"Are you okay?!"

Cale was already vomiting blood.

"Cough cough!"

He looked at the mission again.

Dash.

He ran away.

"CALE!"

'Fuck fuck fuck! I'm running at max speed with wind support but he's catching up!'

A strange noise could be heard from behind.

[DARK ENERGY SURROUNDS THE PLACE.]

'Huh?'
Cale looked back.

'What the hell are those?!'

[THE DEAD HAS RISEN!]

'Zombies?!'

[Clear condition: Reach Oksu station.]

They were quick for zombies!

Cale was already surrounded by the undead.

"Cale!"

It was the man again.

He had a sword in hand... He swung it just once and all of them went down.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."
He had a smile..

Cale felt uncomfortable.

The two regrouped with the others at the broken bridge.

Everyone was already on the other side except for Kim Dokja.

'What is he doing here?!'
Dokja stared at Joonghyuk.

[REMAINING TIME: 15 MIN 29 SECS]

"You. Who are you?"
He glared at him.

"Ugh!"

Joonghyuk grabbed his neck.

'Regressor Yoo Joonghyuk, the first way to survive in a ruined world!'

Pow!

He punched him in the stomach.

"URGH!"

Pow!

And again.

'Fuck, he's already this strong.'
He hung off the edge, held by only the man in black.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"
It was the red head.

'I completely forgot about him because he shouldn't appear in the early chapters!'

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this quickly."

'That's right! That man has been with him throughout all of his returns, he must still care for him!'
He was cooking a plan up.
"Yoo Joonghyuk, are you really planning to kill me in front of him?!"
He looked over his shoulder, to Cale.

[4:02]

'I don't have time to be playing with them!'
Cale looked over the broken bridge.

The others couldn't be seen no more.

'Did they leave?'

He looked back at the two.
'Why the hell are you guys staring at me?..'

"What are you doing?"

"Clearing the scenario, what else?!"

"Let's go together."
He let go of the man, not off the bridge though.

[DEUS EX MACHINA: EVEN BRIDGE]
A bridge of light created by a constellation's interference. An even number of people are allowed to pass through this bridge.

'An even amount of people?'

"Let's go together, Cale."
He repeated.

Cale didn't care, he just wanted to get out alive.

The two walked the bridge together, leaving Dokja by himself.

'This bastard!'

:D
