“Get out, you murderers.”
"Murderer..." It was the third time he heard that word from her. Jungkook remained unfazed. "So... we're the murderers you say we are, so we can kill all the monsters to save you." She spoke in a distant, calm voice. The weight of the word "murderer" was suffocating, but now that he had that title, Jungkook was determined not to let it slip away.
Those words were spoken because he felt it was only a modicum of courtesy, having already plunged a knife into her heart twice. While it was clear that he had saved her life, Jeongguk harbored no contradiction about being labeled a murderer. He was so simple-minded that it was laughable.
"We're going to the third floor of Building 2 now. Let's escape the school with Jooyeon and the others. If you want to live, follow me. There's no benefit to being alone."
After a moment of hesitation, she wiped something hot from beneath her eyelids and walked behind Jeongguk. Her steps were filled with the determination to endure the disgust for a moment in order to survive.

As soon as Jungkook, Taehyung, and the female student arrived on the third floor of Building 2, they asked the female students in Class 9 for their opinions. "We're going to leave school. Is there anyone who wants to leave with us?" A third of them raised their hands. The rest said it would be reckless to leave without knowing what was going on outside. About fifteen students, including Jungkook and Taehyung, decided to leave school.
Fifteen was by no means a small number. We grouped in groups of three, scanning the nets in front, behind, and behind. Like the monsters that had lingered in Hall 1 earlier, we couldn't let our guard down, unable to predict when or where another one might emerge.
Even after leaving school, that feeling of unease wouldn't go away. I peeked over the fence at the nearby milk factory, which was already paralyzed, blood splattered everywhere. The sight of the pure white milk, dyed with a pungent red, giving it a deep strawberry hue, was truly repulsive.
“Uh... over there…”
One of the female students who had come out with us spoke up. Less than 500 meters away, a strange creature was staggering, its neck broken. Judging by the vest emblazoned with the OO Milk company name, it was clearly an employee of the nearby milk factory.
Oh dear, it wasn't just one. As if they were trying to show off their past experience at the milk factory, three monsters covered in bright red milk rushed towards them. They ran at a breakneck speed, quickly closing the 500m distance. Jungkook also charged, wielding the sharp pole of the mop he'd brought from school earlier. It was impossible for him to handle three creatures with incredible strength alone.
It wasn't difficult for the monsters, baring their teeth and thrusting recklessly, to pin Jeongguk to the asphalt. With their backs planted on the ground, they were impervious to sharp sticks, so inflicting fatal injuries on them was no easy feat. Even fighting one of them required insane stamina, so Jeongguk, who could withstand two, was truly impressive.
“You crazy monsters!!!”
Aside from the two who had been attached to Jungkook, the other one rushed at Taehyung. Taehyung grabbed a nearby rock and smashed it into the creature's face. He felt like he was going to die, so there was no reason not to. Right now, he had to survive no matter what. If he couldn't kill these guys, he knew all the girls, including himself and Jungkook, would die.
One of the girls, who was screaming in fear, took out the emergency hammer she had brought with her when she left school.
He struck the heads of those crazy people who were running at him without mercy, their eyes rolled back and unable to distinguish between them. “Hey, you little punk, you said you were going to save me. Stab them in the throat like before!!!” The person who ran towards Jeongguk with a hammer was the last survivor of Class 6, Year 3, she.
She repeatedly hammered the back of one of the creatures that had been attached to Jeongguk. Its spine was exposed, and about four ribs were shattered, but it still raged. Blood dripping from its mouth covered her face, making it difficult to even open her eyes, and she began to be pushed helplessly.
“Please, hold on a little longer!!”
Jungkook desperately thrust his spear. The overall numbers were such that he couldn't be outnumbered, but the other female students, gripped by fear, were nothing more than burdens. The girl who'd followed him, hammer in hand, offered a small chance, but even that was being overpowered, and he needed to end his life as quickly as possible.
With one hand, he grabbed the eyes of the monster that was pressing its forehead against his head, and with the other, he grabbed its Adam's apple and kicked its heart bone. As soon as the thing that was holding him back was gone, Jeong-guk quickly stabbed the club into its neck.
Jeongguk, having confirmed she was completely out of breath, ran to her. But the creature's mouth was just moments away from her neck. He immediately swung his club, but it narrowly missed. Even if he ran with all his might, it seemed impossible to prevent the creature's teeth from sinking into her.
“Ahhhh, please···.”
“Hey Min-ha-neul, bow down!!!!!!!”
