We followed Eun Woojeong deeper into Zone B-37.
After about ten minutes of walking—past cracked roads and broken streetlamps—the church building finally came into view.
We climbed up a tree near the church wall to observe the interior.
At first glance, the unlit church looked abandoned, but occasional noises—soft footsteps, shuffling—confirmed what Eun Woojeong had said. There were people inside.
