Episode 7. The Corpse That Runs (2)
And so, back to the present.
Inside 「Membership Warehouse Mart」.
The gunfire that had raged beyond the storage racks had already fallen silent.
The explosions had also been quiet for some time.
But Gwak Jae-gyeom, my personal belonging, was still busy.
“Everyone, give me your interim reports.”
—A-4, no traps.
“Understood. Stand by for now.”
—B-7 is a bust……. We used up even the dummies we borrowed, and we still couldn’t finish.
“Then stop there. If the trap density is that high, there’s no point in finding a green zone anyway.”
—Z-0. Jae-gyeom, these guys won’t give us membership cards. They get mad if we try to take them.
“I think we’d better hand that over to the Exploration Team. Don’t fight the 「Employees」. Just check how many membership cards they have. I’ll come steal them later with Do-un Hyung.”
Gwak Jae-gyeom tapped away at his laptop while speaking by radio with agents scattered throughout the mart.
Tap, clatter-clatter—
As though he were coding, strings of complicated English characters appeared beneath his rapid keystrokes.
A moment later, when something began loading, Gwak Jae-gyeom radioed the others again.
“I’ve finished compiling the data. Hyungs, take a break and stand by until the analysis results come out.”
Oh…….
I looked at Gwak Jae-gyeom in admiration.
Feeling my gaze, he turned toward me.
