Chapter 119
The closer I got to Sector A-12, the more people disappeared. The air reeked of smoke and rot.
A sign appeared ahead, scrawled in red letters: DANGER ZONE. I hit the brakes and brought the bike to a stop in front of it.
Screeeech.
A flimsy sign hung over the entrance, swaying like it would fall off any second. Beyond the loosely tangled barbed wire, I could see part of the ruined city.
The stench was probably from monsters. The smoke... maybe there had been a fire recently.
Fires breaking out in danger zones weren’t unusual. Monsters and criminals lived tangled together here, so no one batted an eye over a bit of smoke.
I parked the bike in a corner and stepped into the zone on foot. If I brought it in, I’d draw too much attention from the criminals hiding everywhere—and the sound might attract monsters too.
My goal was to rescue Cha Sahyeon, who was supposedly held somewhere in the church. That meant I needed to move quietly and quickly. I gripped the sheath in one hand and kicked off the ground.

Between the thick trees, I could finally see the church’s spire, topped with a cross—its distinctive architecture unmistakable.
And then—
Ding!
