Chapter 29: The Rain After Hell
Min-ho and his team watched helplessly as the Z-Streamers slaughtered themselves. He and Jang-book wanted to help, but everything had happened so fast they couldn’t react in time. Furthermore, they were afraid to.
No one knew what had just happened or why, but they feared it was the work of some Affinity, and joining in would possibly make them act the same way.
Everyone who could stood and stared in disbelief. Each one of them feeling like they were in one of the pits of hell, doomed to watch some of the most horrifying things imaginable as punishment for a grave sin they committed.
"Let’s get out of here," Jang-book said, finally breaking the silence.
He was the first to make his way for the exit.
"We can’t... we can’t just leave like this," Min-ho said, still cradling Sae-wee in his arms.
"Then what do you suppose we do?" Jang-book asked, genuinely curious.
Min-ho was brought to silence. He turned his gaze in every direction, forcing himself to endure the horrific sights.
There were so many people here, each one of them turned into nothing but piles of flesh and blood. It wasn’t right, nothing about any of this was right.
"Let’s go, before whatever happened to them happens to us too," Jang-book said.
No one said anything anymore, they just did as Jang-book said. Dok-su and Ji-su followed, leaving Min-ho and Im-hee behind.
