Run for Freedom

“Maenok est là! (It’s a Maenok!)”

The overseers shouted in panic.

They, too, were aware of these zombies.

Heesoo no longer felt the pain of her lashes.

She had thought the mine was a refuge from these creatures.

Her heart sank.

‘Minjoo... where’s Minjoo?’

She frantically looked around.

Overseers, Outsiders, and even the criminals were all staring at the strange figure in fear, backing away slowly.

“Minjoo... Minjoo!”

It didn’t take long for her to spot Minjoo.

The girl was frozen, unable to tear her gaze away from the Maenok.

“What... what is that thing?”

Thankfully, the zombie emerging from the mine quickly grabbed its first victim—a man standing nearby.

Everyone watched the brutal scene unfold, mesmerized and horrified at the same time.

Even the overseers were stunned, too, literally rooted to their spot due to the pure shock that paralyzed both their minds and bodies.

They should have been running, but they didn’t.
