Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 81- Murderous Intent

"Wha-What are you guys doing here? Didn't we agree that I would escort you if the plan succeeded?"

Jin-woo asked as he was helped by Ah-yong to one of the long benches in the cafeteria. There was a faint red spot on the table, but the smell of disinfectant masked what would be the smell of blood.

As Jin-woo sat down at the table, his mind relaxed upon realizing he didn't have to escort the others. But this seemed to have made the exhaustion he was holding back flare up, which made his face to visibly pale.

Ah-yong saw this and quickly asked for a medical kit. One female student who was among the students gathered around the table jumped up and rushed off before coming back with a white medical kit.

As the students from the west wing watched Ah-yong cut Jin-woo's P.E. shirt, their faces were filled with complex emotions, the more perceptible one being gratitude.

"Seo-joon found a gun so we decided to risk it and return on our own."

Hearing this response, Jin-woo glanced to the side at Seo-joon leaning against the table. Tucked in his waist he saw the handle of a handgun.

Looking away Jin-woo's gaze then fell on the three students who were with him inside the security room.

Without waiting for Jin-woo to ask, the boy said while stepping forward with the drawstring bag.

"We saw you escorting the other students on the cameras and decided to come to the cafeteria. Here, we brought your bag as well."

The boy placed the drawstring bag next to Jin-woo on the bench and Jin-woo nodded. However, he suddenly groaned in pain. One of the male teachers had forcefully reset his dislocated shoulder. Ah-yong then acted fast to clean his wounds and wrapped his arm.

Seeing this one of the female teachers spoke up.

"Okay, give Jin-woo space so he can recover. For those who haven't eaten yet we've prepared some heated porridge, go and take some."

With this, the students surrounding the table Jin-woo sat at turned and scattered.

However, Jin-woo suddenly called out to his classmates in Class 1A.

"Wait, you guys. You said Yoon-min and Micah got separated after you left the gymnasium. Did any of you see in which direction they ran off?"

"Wait, are you planning on leaving?"

Seo-joon's words had caused Jin-woo's entire body to go rigid, but he suddenly scrambled up and turned to Seo-joon before asking frantically.

"Micah! Where is Micah?! Is he-"

"Dead."

Seo-joon cut off Jin-woo as he glanced away from Ye-jun to look at him.

Boom!

Seo-joon's single word 'dead' was akin to a bomb going off in Jin-woo's mind. He stood there staring at Seo-joon with a blank expression.

Seong by the side was already shaking, his eyes reddened with tears about to run down his cheeks. As for the other students and teachers who were listening to this news, their faces all changed to either frowns or shock, with some female students covering their mouths.

Subsequently this resulted in an even more deathly silence falling over the cafeteria. However, this silence was broken as Jin-woo's blank expression morphed into fury before he exploded.

"BASTARD!!!"

He suddenly lunged forward at Seo-joon and grabbed him by the collar with his only working hand.

"Why didn't you help them?! Why did you lie to me that they were still alive?!! TELL ME!!"

Jin-woo started screaming hysterically at Seo-joon for answers while at the same time, his lunge pushed him back. But before Seo-joon could say anything he had to grit his teeth in pain as he hopped back in retreat on his sprained ankle.

Upon seeing Seo-joon's expression, Jin-woo's anger momentarily faded.

"You... What happened to your leg?"

Jin-woo looked at Seo-joon's right ankle and now saw that it was wrapped in white bandages like his left shoulder.

By this time the two lackeys finally reacted and stepped forward to separate Jin-woo from Seo-joon.

"Jin, stop! Hyung isn't the one at fault, he was the one who wanted to tell you the truth, but those bastards intimated us into staying silent. All of those bastards are working for Ye-jun, that fucker!"

Upon hearing this, Jin-woo's head snapped back and he stared directly at Ye-jun. A murderous intent welled up in his heart before reaching his eyes, causing them to light up with an ominous glow.
