The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 33

 

I sparkled with excitement.

 

“Can I really press it?”

 

Then Captain Gong Ju Won smiled brightly and pretended to press the bell with his index finger.

 

“Press it like this, Jelly-nim.”

 

“If you press it too late, you’ll go to the afterlife.”

 

“No way!”

 

I quickly pressed the bell firmly.

 

Beep-!

 

Success!

 

All the bells in the bus lit up red.

 

I wiggled the hand that pressed the bell.

 

“Well done.”

 

Captain Gong Ju Won gave me a thumbs up, and Chae Heon pushed me toward the bell, saying I could press it a few more times.

 

“It’s, it’s okay now.”

 

The bus moved a little more, then stopped exactly in front of the bus stop.

 

[Hansung Hospital Bus Stop]

 

An old sign was revealing itself through the fog.

 

“Beep-”

 

The back door opened. Once again, it was opened by a large hand.

 

Chae Heon set me down on the floor and headed to the back door, with Captain Gong Ju Won following behind.

 

I got off last and left one cherry tomato behind again this time.

 

When I came down the steps and looked back, I could see the large hand rummaging around inside the bus. As if searching for the cherry tomato I had left behind.

 

Soon the back door closed, apparently having found the cherry tomato.

 

“Beep-”

 

The bus stood still for a moment, then began moving back into the fog with rattling and rumbling sounds.

 

Then, suddenly, two candies fell from the sky like snow.

 

“Huh?”

 

Without thinking, I held out both hands, and the two candies landed in my palms.

 

“Must be a return gift for the cherry tomato.”

 

“Really?”

 

I giggled and watched the back of the bus before turning my gaze forward.

 

[Hansung General Hospital]

 

The hospital was in better condition than expected.

 

Not only the glass doors, but the exterior walls also had no major collapsed areas.

 

I felt a strange emotion. The hospital was a more familiar place to me than anywhere else.

 

Just as Older Brother would have hugged me tightly—

 

Chae Heon, wearing his gas mask, lifted me up and placed me on his shoulder.

 

“From now on, pretend to be a doll.”

 

“Ah… okay.”

 

I nodded obediently.

 

They said there were many hunters wandering around here, so they would think it suspicious if they saw me.

 

They might think I’m a monster like a slime and start shooting at me.

 

“…This is strange.”

 

Then, Captain Gong Ju Won, who had been looking around, spoke up.

 

Chae Heon nodded as if agreeing.

 

What’s strange about it?

 

As I looked around confused, Chae Heon muttered quietly.

 

“Too many human traces.”

 

Is that so?

 

As we slowly entered the hospital lobby, it was just as Chae Heon said.

 

Beyond the glass doors were roughly erected barricades and metal temporary structures that clearly showed signs of human handling.

 

[Trespassers Will Be Shot]

 

On the wall was graffiti scrawled in spray paint, and below it were three bullet holes.

 

Shot?!

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Bang!

 

A gunshot rang out.

 

A bullet mark was left at Chae Heon’s feet.

 

Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won looked up toward where the bullet came from.

 

“There.”

 

On the 2nd floor railing, a man wearing a red gas mask was looking down at us.

 

Behind him, people in similar attire began to appear one by one.

 

Those who emerged from behind the stairs, behind the reception desk, and behind cover made from stacked wheelchairs numbered about a dozen. Each of them was holding a weapon.

 

“We’re managing this place.”

 

The man in the red gas mask spoke in a youthful voice.

 

“If you want to come in, pay the entrance fee.”

 

Laughter erupted from behind as another man continued.

 

“When you leave, you leave half your farmed items behind.”

 

What, they’re complete criminals!

 

Just as I was flinching in shock—

 

“Those are ‘Scavengers.’ Crazy bastards.”

 

Despite the gun barrels pointed at us, Chae Heon spoke calmly.

 

“This bastard dares…!”

 

Red Mask raised his gun. It looked like he was about to shoot again.

 

I squeezed my eyes shut.

 

Bang!

 

Then, Chae Heon crouched slightly and leaped up.

 

The deflected bullet embedded in the asphalt floor.

 

In the meantime, Chae Heon, who had reached the 2nd floor, twisted his head left and right. His hand moved toward his lower back. A short, heavy combat knife was gripped in his hand.

 

Red Mask shouted to his stunned companions.

 

“I, I’ll handle this, so fall back!”

 

Bang!

 

Another shot was fired, but Chae Heon simply dodged the bullet by turning his head and shot toward Red Mask.

 

He struck the gun barrel and sent it crashing to the floor, then Red Mask’s companions tried to stop Chae Heon.

 

But Chae Heon easily subdued them.

 

He grabbed a fleeing guy from behind and threw him, and lightly struck the temple of an attacking guy with the back of his knife.

 

Soon all the Scavengers were lying collapsed near the railing.

 

“Listen up.”

 

Chae Heon’s voice was as calm as if nothing had happened.

 

“If you want to live, put down everything you have.”

 

* * *

 

Weapons came tumbling down at Chae Heon’s feet.

 

Heon kicked the firearms aside and crossed his arms with a hmm sound.

 

“Is this all the guns you have?”

 

Red Mask, who appeared to be the leader, nodded. He had just woken up after being knocked unconscious.

 

Having only one gun, and their youthful voices.

 

Most of all, this wasn’t typical Scavenger behavior.

 

Heon crouched down and removed the red gas mask.

 

Then a fairly young-looking boy’s face popped out.

 

Hae Eon also removed the gas masks of those beside him. They all appeared to be around the same age.

 

“How old are you guys.”

 

“What does that matter….”

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“P-please let my older brothers go!”

 

A trembling girl’s voice could be heard.

 

The red gas mask boy’s face contorted.

 

Looking back, a girl who appeared to be around middle school age was standing with shaking legs, gripping a knife with both hands.

 

Hae Eon let out a sigh, and Red Hazmat Mask shouted.

 

“Ain!”

 

“O-or I’ll call the zombies.”

 

“Ain, stop it!”

 

But another boy beside him shouted.

 

“Ain! Call them!”

 

The girl called Ain shook her eyes violently for just a moment.

 

Just then, Gong Ju Won, who had come up to the 2nd floor, grabbed Ain’s shoulder. He looked at Hae Eon in surprise upon seeing such a young girl.

 

“Lieutenant Colonel Cha? Is this all….”

 

At that moment, magic power dwelled in Ain’s eyes as Ju Won grabbed her shoulder.

 

[Activating skill ‘Summon Undead’.]

 

Thud-

 

A dull vibration echoed from somewhere in the building.

 

Thud, thud thud-

 

It was from the stairwell, emergency room direction.

 

“Don’t tell me… a necromancer?”

 

Before Gong Ju Won could finish speaking, the sound of something moving all at once burst out from the lower floor.

 

The sound of metal beds being dragged, wheelchairs crashing into walls, and….

 

Grrrrrrr.

 

…even low, persistent wailing sounds that couldn’t come from a human throat.

 

Soon, the first zombie revealed itself at the stairway entrance.

 

It was a nurse with an IV tube wrapped around her neck.

 

Her eyes were already rotted and festering, and dark red saliva stretched like threads from her mouth.

 

Following behind her-

 

Rumble.

 

Zombies in patient gowns began pouring out, filling the corridor completely.
