Chapter 5 - Zombie (2)

"In the gentle breeze, Kim Min-Ho bravely gazed at Hung Ye-Hee and the other fairies, teasingly asking, "Is there anyone among you willing to follow in my footsteps, leaving behind the shackles of this school?"

Radiant Ah Yun-Ji, in a soft voice, uttered her magical words, "I will be your companion, oh hero."

Not to be outdone, Ye Eun-Seo gracefully continued, "I too shall follow your courageous path, oh ruler of my heart."

Not to be left behind, Hwan Mi-Yong elegantly replied, "I also wish to venture into this world with you, oh prince of our souls."

Joy gleamed in Hung Ye-Hee"s eyes as she softly asked, "Should we seek my brother, who is still trapped at this gate?"

"He may still be holding on, waiting for solace," wisely spoke Kim Min-Ho.

As darkness surrendered to the sun, they swiftly moved. Like horses released from their restraints, they ran through the dark corridors. Surprisingly, no zombies blocked their path.

Without words but with countless stories in their gazes, Kim Min-Ho led them along the path of freedom.

"We are powerless," the four fairies almost simultaneously whispered, finding the courage hidden within.

Around the bend, Hung Ye-Hee trembled nervously as she faced two menacing zombies.

"I will eliminate that threat," declared Kim Min-Ho firmly, charging forward, swiftly beheading the two lifeless zombies with a single merciless strike.

"Slash!"

"Thump!" The two heads that had reveled in the realm of darkness fell lifelessly.

"Enchanting strength!" Ah Yun-Ji marveled, witnessing Kim Min-Ho"s perfect swordsmanship.

"Are you a skilled martial artist?" Ah Yun-Ji asked in admiration.

Kim Min-Ho smiled, dismissing all praise, and replied, "There are only a few things I can control in the art of the sword."

Before long, they arrived in a quiet room. The two young men and three fairies were captivated as they watched Kim Min-Ho brilliantly end the lives of the zombies.

"Should we follow them? It seems one of them is Master Hwan Mi-Yong," whispered a fair-skinned fairy.

"But, my friend, the path is now teeming with ravenous monsters. Haven"t you seen horror video clips on the internet?" sighed a weary young man.

"Is that so? Shall we remain here forever in silence?" protested a yellow-skinned fairy with short hair.

In their despair, finally, the words were spoken, "Very well, let"s follow them," said the young man, gasping for breath, as he opened the gate of destiny.

Suddenly, a deafening noise pierced their ears. Hung Ye-Hee screamed, calling out to Kim Min-Ho, tugging at his clothes with worry.

"What"s wrong?" Kim Min-Ho asked, his steps halted.

Hung Ye-Hee pointed anxiously behind them, "Look!"

Kim Min-Ho turned his gaze, and indeed, two young men and three fairies were running towards them, gasping for breath. But that wasn't "t what amazed him. He saw two zombies racing toward them. Wasting no time, Kim Min-Ho swiftly ran and, with a single strike, severed the heads of the two zombies.

"Slash!"

"Slash!" The cursed heads separated instantly from their bodies.

"Run for your lives!" exclaimed Kim Min-Ho, his nauseating feeling on the verge of erupting, as he ran as fast as he could. And they followed Kim Min-Ho with fervor.

Shortly after, Park Dong-Su waved at them, his eyes filled with fear.

"Coward," muttered Kim Min-Ho, glaring at Park Dong-Su, who still stood at the gate.

"Hung Ye-Hee, are you alright?" Park Dong-Su asked, his eyes fixed on Hung Ye-Hee.

"You cowardly brother, I can't leave you behind. I"d rather be Kim Min-Ho"s sibling than yours," Hung Ye-Hee hissed sharply.

"I apologize; I was too afraid to take a step," Park Dong-Su admitted with a hint of shame.

"Jip can only carry four people. What will you all do?" Kim Min-Ho asked, glancing at his students. All the students appeared downcast upon hearing Kim Min-Ho" swords.

Kim Min-Ho furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment. However, a miracle emerged from Park Dong-Su"s mouth.

"Kim Min-Ho, there"s a truck over there. If I find the key, I can drive it," Park Dong-Su said, pointing to a truck parked across the street with hopeful eyes.

"Ah, but that truck belongs to someone else. If you have it, it's theft," Hwan Mi-Yong interjected, cutting off Park Dong-Su. Kim Min-Ho glanced meaningfully at Hwan Mi-Yong and said, "Alright, Dong-Su, let's go with the jeep. We'll bring along Ah Yun-Ji and Ye Eun-Seo, our loyal friends, as well as Hung Ye-Hee."

"Forget it then," nodded Park Dong-Su.

"Wait, what about us?" a worried young man asked.

"That's your own business," replied Park Dong-Su, sounding annoyed. He had taken the initiative to help drive the truck and offer them a ride, but the suggestion was outright rejected.

"Uuhh," Hwan Mi-Yong looked sullen at that moment, realizing her mistake. She glanced at Kim Min-Ho and said, "I'm just worried that if we're caught stealing the truck, we could all end up in jail."

"Mother, we can explain it to the police. The important thing is that we can escape from here," a woman said.

"Exactly, Mother. We can think about that later. Right now, the police must be busy eradicating the zombie hordes," the young man replied. Hwan Mi-Yong sighed and nodded.

"Alright, Dong-Su, check the truck right away," said Kim Min-Ho.

"Okay," nodded Park Dong-Su, then noticed that the key was still in place. Carefully, Park Dong-Su started the engine, and suddenly the truck rumbled to life.

"Min-Ho, drive my jeep," said Park Dong-Su as he got out and tossed the keys to Kim Min-Ho.

"Hung Ye-Hee, Ah Yun-Ji, Ye Eun-Seo, get into the car," Kim Min-Ho said.

"Alright," the three women nodded.

"Everyone, let's get in," said Park Dong-Su, looking at Hwan Mi-Yong and the students. Everyone then climbed into the truck.

"Dong-Su, I'll lead the way," said Kim Min-Ho as he started the engine of the jeep and began the journey.

"Alright," replied Park Dong-Su, driving the truck and following behind Kim Min-Ho's jeep.

"Kim Min-Ho, there are some zombies up ahead," shouted Hung Ye-Hee, who was sitting in the front seat, seeing a few zombies on the road.

"Everyone, buckle up," Kim Min-Ho shouted and stepped on the gas pedal.

"Ahhh," the three women screamed as they saw Kim Min-Ho crash into several zombies.

"Bruak, bruak!!!"

"The car window is almost shattered," Kim Min-Ho smiled bitterly at the cracks in the windshield.

"Kim Min-Ho, can you still see with that cracked glass?" Hung Ye-Hee asked with concern.

"Don't worry, my vision is very sharp," Kim Min-Ho replied.

"My vision becomes clearer when I enhance my vitality," murmured Kim Min-Ho.

On a treacherous journey, Kim Min-Ho swiftly slammed into several zombies, maneuvering his jeep amidst violence and terror. Not far behind, Park Dong-Su trailed closely, skillfully controlling a sturdy truck.
